Cleveland Balloon Disaster Cafe
Sycamore Canyon, Arizona
Paraglider "flaps his wings" to get airborne. It works! (Though he has a lot of wind to work with.) Baby rhino, frolicking. Resilience pays. The Cleveland Balloon disaster of 1996. It's like the saw the Turkey Drop episode of WKRP in Cincinnati and thought, "We can't let Cincinnati win the Stupid Derby." What did you say to me...? Meeting a shoebill stork. The rat-a-tat beak clicking is real. Avalanche, as viewed from the bury zone. Some kind of Dutch sport. Claim: Absent air resistance, a bowling ball and a feather will fall at the same speed. Status: Confirmed.
Based on the screams of terror, I'd say he really liked his first bungi jump. Cannonball! "The Stairway to Heaven." Now this is pod-racing! (No it's not. Why do you think everything is pod-racing?) Got a paint-job for you -- it pays $20,000. There is a catch. Capybara walking in water. A sneak peek at "the Pink City," if you know what I mean. Bug racing.

This is not true, AFAIK. The gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses divided by the square of the distance. I think.

Its height - more than 1500 meters, and to get there, you have to climb 7200 steps. Not everyone is able to overcome such a path.

Instead of Looking at The Real Reasons for Police Shootings, the Democrat-Media Complex Chooses to Gaslight the Public
James Varney and Abigail Degnan write that when you study police shootings, you'll tend to find a disproportionate number of black men being shot.
Not because of racism. But because black men commit a disproportionate amount of crime. The Democrat-Media Complex absolutely will not admit that basic fact, and will in fact punish anyone who mentions it. Leaving the only possible reason for a disproportionate amount of black men being shot by police "Because racism."Numerous professional criminologists told RealClearInvestigations that the problem isn't racist or trigger-happy police officers. Instead, a handful of intertwined factors are at work: the almost immutable math of crime and demographics; media sensationalism; distorted public perceptions about race and guns; and the inability of inertia-bound police departments to adapt in ways to make a difference.The first lie pushed by the Regime is that there are a huge number of bad shootings. In fact, 0.002% of police interactions with civilians result in lethal gunfire. This is such a tiny number that it's hard to even talk about statistics at this level.
... What's more, police aren't exaggerating the lethal threats they face. In 2023, the Washington Post database showed 83% of people killed by police bullets were armed -- 62% with a gun and another 15% with a knife -- percentages that criminologists said have held steady over the years. In other cases, officers are facing potentially lethal situations with vehicles, or even deranged people charging them with swords, hatchets, or garden tools. -- Second, media coverage distorts the circumstances of most fatal police shootings. Several criminal justice professors stressed that the overwhelming majority of lethal shootings by police involve clear justification. Nevertheless, the media and its audience tend to focus on those deaths where there is no clear justification, or where the claim of justification appears dubious.If the media wanted to report reality accurately -- which we know they don't -- they'd also report all the well-justified shootings. (But of course they take well-justified shootings and claim they're unjustified, as we're currently seeing with the Dexter Reed shooting.) All of the media's attention is on what cops did wrong to wind up in a shooting incident. They never bother to ask: What did the suspect do wrong to wind up in a shooting incident? You know -- like resisting arrest, grabbing a cop's gun or taser, etc.
And then there is the fact you're never allowed to mention: Black men commit more crime than any other group and therefore we should not be surprised to find that black men are being arrested at higher rates than any other group, or are involved in more police-involved shootings than any other group.
The fatal Reed shooting is an illustration. Overlooked by many in the furor over the heavy fire poured out by Chicago Police Department officers -- 96 shots -- is the fact Reed deliberately disobeyed repeated orders from increasingly nervous police officers, then opened fire and wounded one of them, precipitating the bloody ending.
In 2023, The Guardian newspaper published a dataset -- Mapping Police Violence -- including not just shootings but all lethal encounters involving police. It concludes that black people "were killed at a rate 2.6 times higher than white people." But such raw numbers ignore the fact that blacks are more likely to commit crimes. In a seminal study of Houston police that echoes other findings, Roland Fryer, a black economist at Harvard University, reported, "On the most extreme use of force -- officer-involved shootings -- we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account." Once the number of police encounters was factored in, Fryer found, police were markedly less likely to shoot at blacks and Hispanics than at whites. After publishing his paper -- whose conclusions he found so surprising that he ran the numbers twice -- Fryer said, "all hell broke loose." He told Bari Weiss of the Free Press, "I had colleagues take me to the side and say, 'Don't publish this. You'll ruin your career.'"The article then looks at the possibility that better training could reduce the number of shooting incidents. But I don't buy this:
So you're saying that police should adopt the mentality that it doesn't matter so much if they themselves survive the shift? That it's just as important that violent arrestees survive too? I don't see many police adopting this "my life is less valuable than this violent criminal's life" mentality. I think we could slash the number of police shootings if the media would propagate the rule that police orders should be respected during an arrest, and any problems with the arrest should be sorted out later in front of judge, instead of a perp deciding "I'm not going to be arrested today because I'm a Bad M*****f*****." I think that establishing that resisting arrest is itself a crime and that people shouldn't do it would do a lot more to reduce officer-involved shooting than telling cops "Some nights you're just going to have to eat a bullet, because it's the perp's life that matters." Somewhat related: The media is determined to take all facts and bend them to fit their narratives. And they're doing this to stoke war, strife, and revolution.
Chuck Wexler, the executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) is one who believes "business as usual" can change. At its core, this involves abandoning the ancient mantra of cops beginning a shift -- get home safely -- to "the sanctity of human life." Wexler said it will be "much more challenging" to shift the numbers on the 60% of lethal shootings that involve a suspect with a gun, "but with the other 40%, that's where I believe we can make a difference." "Instead of 'get home safe' we should be thinking, 'everyone gets home alive' -- arrested, in custody, but alive," he told RCI.

I looked at every minute of the George Floyd thing, including the cop cam footage when he pops something shiny in his mouth.
I doubt the jury saw the moment he swallowed his stash and began to OD within minutes. Nor did they see the police recommendations in the brochure for restraining subjects. Nor did they see the full autopsy report.
Two systems of justice in this country.
But the white bitch on the sidelines with some medical background put some innocent cops away. What's the acronym for them again? AWFL?

Most will probably be fentanyl related: most likely fentanyl laced heroin and cocaine. Those due to legal opioids such as percocet and vicodin are more often actually caused by liver failure and the culprit is paracetamol (Tylenol, acetaminophen), included in the pill "to discourage overdosing". That's like 'Let's put just enough cyanide in each pill such that if they take too many at once it will kill them" logic.

Katherine Maher was formerly the Wikimedia CEO.
Wikipedia frequently asks for donations:
These donations are naturally assumed to be for Wikipedia, and to keep it running. However, Wikipedia has large reserves and income, and doesn't need your money.
Instead the money goes to Wikimedia staff, which has ballooned from $4 million in 2010 to $100 million today:
Another large item is grants, the recipients of which include explicitly left-wing interest organisations, such as Borealis Philantropy, or The SeRCH Foundation which makes this type of content:
This foundation is clearly massively bloated. And it is borderline unethical how it uses the donations that are explicitly given to Wikipedia.

I'd say we are more in the general area of the Gracchi bros. It is hard to match one to one, but Rome managed to survive quite a long time before everything collapsed. As something else, sure, but it did keep going.
You could also say from a ... government development standpoint, we are closer to late roman empire, post Diocletian with much of the power being in the hands of the bureaucrats and ministers.

But the Left still talk about. I look this exact issue up and the one year there was like 26 shootings. The next year there was like 31. The numbers I am using are from memory and are not actual stats though the point I am making still holds. That is a 19% increase but only an increase of 5 actual shooting incidents, mere noise in the millions of police interactions each year. One cannot be demagogued while the other is an invitation to scream and yell about systemic racism in policing. And that is exactly what the Democrats have been doing since about 2016.

It's staggeringly less than that when you think about it.
If a cop is behind you and doesn't pull you over, that is an encounter. If a cop is at a restaurant and doesn't talk to any of the two dozen patrons (and five criminals that are working in the kitchen) those are all encounters.
Millions upon millions of encounters in one shift of one day.

I think some have made the Iranian military to be a lot more lethal than they actually are. Remember when Iran and Iraq fought a war and both lost?
Iran sent over 300 projectiles at Israel and none got through. Now Israel is just plinking Iranian targets at will.. This would also seem to put to lie the claim from the left that Iran's attack was just for show.
They are great at acts of terrorism using proxies but if Israel wanted to take Iran out they could probably get it done before Passover.

Even after what happened with Covid a lot of people don't seem to understand that whether you're black or white you are a "criminal" to the police.
So yes we do need police officers who are willing to lay down their lives when they start their shift. The idea that a cop's #1 job is to return home safely is why those cowards stood outside a class room while a deranged maniac shot up kids.

Supreme Court Rules 9-0 That Reverse Discrimination Is Good Cause for Lawsuit; Left Frets That This Ruling Will "Complicate" Their Desire to Discriminate Against Straight White Men
Oh no! We can't complicate the left's mission to turn America into Rhodesia!
Let me clarify this confusion for you: It's illegal to discriminate against someone based on their race. Even if the race being discriminated against is white (spit!). And even if your justification is "equity." This lawsuit was actually about sex discrimination against a woman. So, the standard sort of discrimination suit. That's not what makes this dangerous for DEI programs. Minorities and women have been filing discrimination lawsuits for 60 years. What makes this dangerous for DEI is that the Supreme Court set a somewhat-low threshold for what level of harm someone has to allege to have grounds for a discrimination suit.
Rights groups say the court made it easier to sue employers
Lawyers warn the ruling may also threaten diversity programs
The US Supreme Court's ruling that a St. Louis police sergeant can sue over a job transfer she claims was discriminatory was championed by human rights groups as "an enormous win for workers." However, hours after the decision Wednesday, lawyers were warning that the outcome could have a chilling effect on employers' diversity initiatives because it adds to questions about what's legal.
... Workplace discrimination due to sex or other protected characteristics -- like race, color, religion or national origin -- is illegal, but courts across the country have disagreed about how substantial the unequal treatment must be to merit a legal claim. In this case, the city argued that Muldrow's lateral move at the same pay grade wasn't significantly harmful enough to meet the standard. The Supreme Court disagreed, saying an employee just needed to show "some harm" under the terms of their employment, but it doesn't need to be "material," "substantial" or "serious." The decision makes it easier for workers to sue over discriminatory job transfers. Some employment lawyers say the same reasoning could be carried over to workplace development programs or employee resource groups designed to benefit traditionally underrepresented cohorts: for example, a fellowship that only accepts Hispanic students or a leadership program only open to women.Yes, because that's discrimination. These people are insisting that there's "good discrimination based on innate characteristics" and "bad discrimination based on innate characteristics." There is no such distinction in the law. All discrimination based on innate characteristics is unlawful.
They're all shocked to hear that discrimination may be bad when you're discriminating against white people. The left should be celebrating a lawsuit extending employees' right to sue over discrimination based on skin color or sex. Instead, they're alarmed. Because this will limit their ability to discriminate against whites and men. What the Court finds here can give rise to a suit is the situation where an employer continues paying an employee the same wage, but changes the other elements of his job so that the job is worse. This is EXACTLY what Disney, for example, is alleged to have done to drive out it's "Pale and Male is Stale" animators, giving them the worst assignments despite them having the most experience, skill, and seniority, to make the job humiliating enough that they'd quit. Which many of them did. And now the Supreme Court says this is actionable.
"Could you say that exclusion from participation in an mentoring or leadership program materially disadvantages someone?" said Jonathan Segal, a partner specializing in employment and labor law at Duane Morris. Even before the opinion, Segal was advising companies to eschew development programs that only allow people of protected groups to participate, he said. Now, he says, "the risk is even higher." The Supreme Court's decision to overturn affirmative action in college admissions last year prompted executives across the country to reexamine their diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI programs. At the same time, conservative legal groups refocused their attentions on corporations, arguing that some initiatives meant to benefit marginalized groups amount to reverse discrimination. Though the racial justice group Legal Defense Fund praised the ruling, Senior Economic Justice Counsel Pilar Whitaker acknowledged opponents of DEI programs likely "will see this as an opening" to launch new attacks on diversity programs.

At present, you're still free to associate with whomever you wish, even if you decide to confine your associations to other black people. (Or white people.)
That said, I have no doubt that some CA legislator will soon offer a bill that requires individuals to meet specified racial and gender quotas in their personal friendships or face civil and criminal consequences.

But still private companies that discriminate can as long as they don't promote badges of slavery.

I don't know.
Admittedly I know very little, but I wonder if this is a sacrifice in order to shore up the very idea of "anti-discrimination" law.
I mean, some of us think that a private employer should be able to discriminate. Freedom of contract and all that.
So is this the left saying that they know the whole gov. mandated "fairness" in dictating who the fuck you hire (or serve - public accommodation, or pick to be your neighbor....) is fake law and unconstitutional, but let's agree to make it stronger by enforcing it both ways since if we say it only works sometimes it will reveal the fraud.

I think what would actually happen is Trump immediately seeks-out the leader of the strongest gang in the joint, lays the old Trump razz-ma-tazz on him, and that gang becomes his prison-wide bodyguard. In return for some favors Trump can arrange to get in for the gang. Then Trump tells the SS detail to go protect someone who actually needs it. Media heads all go mushroom-cloud.

Again, you folks addicted to voting keep insisting that its a choice between two distinctions. In the macro - it simply has not been. For decades.
When Trump won the first time - the GOP blocked him harder than the DNC. When Trump won the second time - the GOP closed their eyes and covered their ears while he got screwed. And when Trump wins the third time ? They'll do the latter first, then the former if need be. There is just no reason to get excited.

The next one i never heard of in the 27 and a half years I've been in the company. Supposed to be a mechanical engineer, but poofed into existence last year as the division vice president engineer. The next two vice presidents are from HBCS schools with shitty reputations for the professional graduated engineers. One is the division senior executive engineer responsible for profit and loss, the other is the business area executive vice president over 135,000 employees and maybe $300B in sales, profit and loss. In a field dominated by white males, and asian males, around 90%...thus is discriminatory on the surface and outright evil.

Perhaps. I am not saying that they cannot be trusted, but completely separate from the direction the rest of the thread is going:
Would anyone actually want to be a SS guy? There is a certain amount of... amorality implied in the job. You protect your assigned guy, no matter what. You stand outside the door if he is cheating on his wife. You watch out for threats while he is sniffing and feeling up a 12 year old.
I dunno, there is a certain... emptiness to it. Just something I have thought about since... I'd say Dave the movie.

1) Have every applicant take a standardized test to enroll.
2) Above a certain score, you are in automatically.
3) below a certain score, you are rejected automatically.
4) Between the two scores - lottery admission.
The decision is perfectly fair. This will save students and colleges loads of money - no lengthy application process, no essays, no interviews. Easy peasy.

Biden Rewrites Title IX Law to Mandate the Use of "Proper" (In Other Words: Fake) Pronouns, Forbid "Misgendering," Mandate Boys' Access to Girls' Locker Rooms and Bathrooms, And Restore the Obama-Era Kangaroo Sex Courts
This is a sop to the leftwing teachers unions, who demanded their AWFL politics be encoded into law.
Just without the actual "law" part. Biden added new "rules" to the law by his own imperial power. The rules also mandate that boys accused of sexual assault be presumed guilty by colleges.The Biden administration's actions finalizing revised Title IX regulations represent a victory for powerful teachers unions, which have fueled Democrats' 2024 election campaigns. On Friday morning, the Department of Education finalized sweeping new Title IX rules that it said will "strengthen vital protections" from sex-based harassment and prevent discrimination based on gender identity. The regulations dismantle Trump-era actions that bolstered protections, but also prescribed a strict grievance process that ensures the accused are treated as innocent until proven guilty. The nation's two largest teachers unions, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, have for months heavily advocated for the regulations to be finalized. During the current election cycle, the two unions have funneled millions of dollars to Democrat-aligned political action committees, but virtually nothing to Republicans, according to federal filings. "Prior to the 2020 rule, there was progress on changing the culture of sexual violence on our education campuses, as well as improvements to student safety. But the Trump-DeVos rule quashed open discussion of sexual harassment and gender-based violence," AFT President Randi Weingarten wrote in a comment letter supporting the Biden administration's regulations.The AP claims that the rule does not mandate that trans athletes demolish girls in sports, but, while that's not explicit in this rule, it is certainly implied by the rest of the language, stating that no trans students can be "excluded" from "any educational activity."
Weingarten added that the administration's rules -- which are set to go into effect in August -- would "remove dangerous regulations put in place in 2020 and put us back on the path of honestly discussing the modern realities of equal access to education." ... Pringle's letter emphasized the importance of the regulations' expansion of Title IX protections to include transgender students. She said they would protect a transgender student who is "discriminated against and shamed when told they cannot use the bathroom." According to NEA, the regulations would prohibit schools from excluding students from any educational activity because of transgender status; prohibit "misgendering" transgender students or teachers, force the use of a name selected by a transgender student or teacher, and require students to be allowed to use restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity.
The rights of LGBTQ+ students will be protected by federal law and victims of campus sexual assault will gain new safeguards under rules finalized Friday by the Biden administration. The new provisions are part of a revised Title IX regulation issued by the Education Department, fulfilling a campaign pledge by President Joe Biden. He had promised to dismantle rules created by former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who added new protections for students accused of sexual misconduct. Notably absent from Biden's policy, however, is any mention of transgender athletes. The administration originally planned to include a new policy forbidding schools from enacting outright bans on transgender athletes, but that provision was put on hold. The delay is widely seen as a political maneuver during an election year in which Republicans have rallied around bans on transgender athletes in girls' sports.My thought: Biden didn't want to put that in writing so close to an election he's losing so the rule just strongly implies that you'd better not kick boys and men (this applies to colleges, too) off girls' teams. But he wants the plausible deniability of it not being explicitly stated. But soon another "Dear Colleague" letter will be issued, "helping" schools make the Right Choice on boys in girls sports. In related news, JK Rowling says she'll never forgive Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson for throwing her under the bus and cancelling her.
Advertisement Instead, Biden is officially undoing sexual assault rules put in place by his predecessor and current election-year opponent, former President Donald Trump. The final policy drew praise from victims' advocates, while Republicans said it erodes the rights of accused students. The new rule makes "crystal clear that everyone can access schools that are safe, welcoming and that respect their rights," Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said. "No one should face bullying or discrimination just because of who they are, who they love," Cardona told reporters. "Sadly, this happens all too often."

The beauty of a single-party state is that they don't *need* to be explicit. Just make it clear what's to be done and all of the drones will happily "work toward the fuhrer."
Under ideal circumstances - and we usually have them - they don't have to take any official action at all. The tranny stuff is objectionable that there actually does need to be *some* sort of official action, but it needn't be much.

So when Trump wins, he can outlaw the Democrat Party, at least for a while?
He could have every political getting a check from China, the EU, or Ukraine arrested for violating FARA and getting the full Manafort treatment.
He probably won't but he could...

Objectively, I think we are fucked. The bureaucracy is so entrenched and has enough power that anything short of full nuclear commitment will allow it to regrow like a hydra. You'd have to nuke it don to the ground and then keep it from regrowing. Remove the power. You can't just put your own 'good' people in charge, but you have to remove the seductiveness of it.
But I do not see a bloodless way to do that.

This is the danger of that.
That the government will make decisions that will force any school that takes the vouchers to follow random government diktats, even if the school is expressly founded on not allowing that kind of thing in their school.
That's how the government controls all of this, with money.
Even a government school wouldn't have to comply with Title IX and the rest if that school weren't taking government money.
But any school that does take government money, must comply, or the government will take that money away.

I don't believe any "departments" are mentioned in the Constitution, only areas of responsibility of the Executive Branch.
However, I think the Departments of the Executive Branch should be explicitly spelled out in any future version of the Constitution. I would start with four: State, War/Defense, Treasury, and Interior. You wanna add more? Fine, pass a Constitutional amendment authorizing it.

Pretty sure that's basically what it says. The constitution calls for a cabinet, or whatever they called it, and maned the departments: State, War, Treasury... and maybe Justice?
But I think Washington's administration was basically 5 people... him, Adams as Veep, Jefferson as SOS, Hamilton as Treasury... I don't remember as War, if it was such a thing, nor do I recall who the AG was. But that was it. Not departments. Five people.

Di and Grace were in the ladies' room together, and Di was having some "wardrobe issue" with her bra that caused the girls to spill out. Grace gave her some advice and helped her out, and then returned to her table at the event, stating that "She's got them under control." Which I can absolutely hear in Grace Kelly's voice.

We go to Universal Orlando pretty frequently.
Both Wizarding Worlds (one in Universal, the other in Islands of Adventure) are always packed. Millennials are taking their kids now. You do see people there who obviously are there as some sort of protest (usually just a body shape but sometimes some kind of shirt), but they're just there having fun. And...lining Rowling's pockets since she gets a percentage of every Universal ticket sold. I'm sure she gets part of all merch and even food sales.
The percentage of people who actually care about her trans stance is probably pretty small. I'd bet it's mostly driven by bots online.

DoD should consist of whatever small number of active duty personnel, to man the borders and coasts, protect the homeland, and be ready to strike overseas, should the need arise. And the need should NOT arise unless we're threatened directly by some foreign power.
Oh, and fire all civilian DoD personnel, except those who make sure the active duty folks get equipped and paid. The Secretary of Defense should be an actual secretary.

1789 - the Congress gave the Executive branch the right of legal Counsel - ie the AG office. From there, they gave the executive the right to staff the AG (the DOJ). None of this has ever been suggested as an Article 2 Constitutional provision, power or prerogative of the Executive Branch, and thus can be so revoked by Congress at any time they so deem it dissolved...

Yes.
Some countries...maybe Germany?... restrict unions to one company and I think it would be a great fix for private sector unions. It would force the union leadership to be focused on growing their company so they are their members can be compensated versus the insanity of modern labor unions that don't give a shit if they torpedo a company and get a bunch of "their" workers fired.

Yes Fen, the young man who played against my daughter was quite small, yet could hit the ball quite far. He hadn't developed any real short game or scoring techniques, as had my daughter and other young ladies who had played for many years in junior and senior high school. He was up against State Champions like my daughter. But he was still competitive even without any real tournament experience only because he was a man, when he should never have been that if he had been a woman. My daughter never noticed him because he never threatened her game - she was quite good. But I wonder about the other young ladies he beat...

It's that weird sexless society I was warning people about for years here. Everyone thinks the Left is all about love and wanton sex but that's only a means to an end. While sex is great for destroying Christianity, eventually sexual attraction becomes an enemy because it puts a human's desires above the State. The march to sexless genderless robotic androgyny and eventual extinction is their true desire.
I always point people to the bizarre silver soulless sexless DNC they did for Hillary in 2016. It showed where they want us going.

"In this model, the individual mystic's soul, gendered feminine, first participates in an act of transgender-homoerotic mystical fellowship with those of hir fellow mystics in order to at once welcome in the Divine feminine (in some cases entering into erotic union with Her) and immediately switch gender roles to embody that Divine feminine for her congress with the male Godhead. This act of psychic double-transvestism is abetted by the Kabbalistic trope that casts God and Israel as the two lovers in the Song of Songs, or the two cherubs over the ark, with Israel taking the female role."

The Fake "Whistleblower" Who Gamed the System to Start the First Trump Impeachment May Be Forced to be a Witness in Joe Biden's Impeachment
Paul Sperry for RealClearPolitics:
The 'whistleblower' who sparked Donald Trump's first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Biden's office reveal.If you remember, he faked his "whistleblower" status. Whistleblowers must have, according to the law, first-hand knowledge of some crime or dereliction they want to report. Eric Ciarmarella never had first-hand knowledge, he had heard it from someone without the guts to come forward. The Deep State bent over backwards to contrive a reason that he should be treated as a whistleblower anyway.
Recall that Biden decided to demand that Ukraine fire the prosecutor looking into Burisma, and threatened to hold back a billion dollars in US funding until they did. Later, Obama and the Deep State would pretend that this was all authorized by the State Department. But it wasn't. The State Department never expressed any desire to see Shokin fired. Biden just made that up on his own -- as a favor to his son, who needed to deliver to his paymasters to prove the Biden Brand was worth investing in. And Eric Ciarmarella was among those who were "shocked" to see Biden freelancing and extorting a foreign country as a favor to his son:
In 2019, then-National Intelligence Council analyst Eric Ciaramella touched off a political firestorm when he anonymously accused Trump of linking military aid for Ukraine to a demand for an investigation into alleged Biden corruption in that country. But four years earlier, while working as a national security analyst attached to then-Vice President Joe Biden's office, Ciaramella was a close adviser when Biden threatened to cut off U.S. aid to Ukraine unless it fired its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Ukraine-based Burisma Holdings. At the time, the corruption-riddled energy giant was paying Biden's son Hunter millions of dollars. Those payments -- along with other evidence tying Joe Biden to his family's business dealings -- received little attention in 2019 as Ciaramella accused Trump of a corrupt quid pro quo. Neither did subsequent evidence indicating that Hunter Biden's associates had identified Shokin as a "key target." These matters are now part of the House impeachment inquiry into President Biden. "It now seems there was material evidence that would have been used at the impeachment trial [to exonerate Trump]," said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, who has testified as an expert witness in the ongoing Biden impeachment inquiry. "Trump was alleging there was a conflict of interest with the Bidens, and the evidence could have challenged Biden's account and established his son's interest in the Shokin firing." Ciaramella's role -- including high-level discussions with top Biden aides and Ukrainian prosecutors -- is only now coming to light thanks to the recent release of White House emails and photos from the National Archives.
The emails show Ciaramella expressed shock -- "Yikes" is what he wrote -- at Biden's move to withhold the $1 billion in aid from Kyiv, which represented a sudden shift in U.S. policy. They also show he was drawn into White House communications over how to control adverse publicity from Hunter taking a lucrative seat on Burisma's board.There's much more in the article. But this irony is wonderful:Yet there is no evidence Ciaramella raised alarms about the questionable Biden business activities he witnessed firsthand, which is in sharp contrast to 2019. In that instance, he was galvanized into action after being told by White House colleague Alexander Vindman of an "improper" phone call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. During the call, Trump solicited Zelensky's help in investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden's role in the company.
Some former congressional investigators say Ciaramella effectively helped cover up a scandal far worse than what Trump was impeached over. What's more, he failed to disclose that he had a potential conflict of interest stemming from his connection to the matter Trump asked Zelensky to probe when he lodged his complaint against Trump. RealClearInvestigations was the first to identify the then-33-year-old Ciaramella as the anonymous impeachment "whistleblower," something major media continue to keep under tight wraps.
What Ciaramella witnessed and what he documented in notes he took during high-level Biden-Ukraine meetings could now be relevant to the active impeachment inquiry of President Biden. The House may have little choice but to hold the kind of hearings the Democrats blocked during the earlier impeachment by keeping Ciaramella's identity -- and his own potential conflict -- secret. As the catalyst for Trump's impeachment, Ciaramella could now be a reluctant witness for Biden's.

After the Senate deemed both articles of impeachment unconstitutional, the upper chamber adjourned, quashing all hope for a trial on Mayorkas' alleged crimes. This was historically significant, as an impeachment trial had never been dismissed, tabled or otherwise discarded without the accused official having first exited their role in one way or another.
"The Senate has no constitutional authority to rule that the articles approved by the House do not state impeachable offenses," explained Andrew McCarthy, a former chief assistant United States attorney in the Southern District of New York and a senior fellow at the National Review Institute.

Yeah. It is one of those things that always bothered me about concerts. My hearing and memory work in very particular ways. The first time I hear any song, it gets frozen into 'the way it should sound.' Then when you go to a concert and things are different- which makes perfect sense except for the 'artists' who are lip synching- it hits my ear and brain as 'wrong' even if it is just normal variation that is not dissonant.

In the Sci Fi one every is basically evil. The humans are less evil then most factions but...they are pretty bad. Amusingly the leader of the humans at one point destroys religion in the name of SCIENCE and after he ends up mostly dying (it is complicated) is deified by his empire.
The fantasy universe is a cleaner good/evil paradigm if not perfect. And the good guys run around doing things like burning witches. Why? Because those witches are in league with (basically) Satan and are trying to destroy humanity.

In the Sci Fi one every is basically evil. The humans are less evil then most factions but...they are pretty bad. Amusingly the leader of the humans at one point destroys religion in the name of SCIENCE and after he ends up mostly dying (it is complicated) is deified by his empire.
The fantasy universe is a cleaner good/evil paradigm if not perfect. And the good guys run around doing things like burning witches. Why? Because those witches are in league with (basically) Satan and are trying to destroy humanity.

One interesting part of the fantasy series that I think they meant to be there but didn't really focus on is that it is the relatively peace and prosperity that civilization brings that dooms the world.
The elves were the first run of this. They got fat, lazy and bored and turned to decadence. Which created a Chaos god (Slaanesh) that almost destroyed the world.
Later the humans in turn build powerful stable civilizations in Europe (and maybe China) and it is the decadence of those civilizations that allow the Chaos gods to destroy everything.
Siegmar beat the early Chaos invasions because humans were less decadent and he failed in the last because they no longer pure enough...

I have absolute perfect pitch. Not by training just born that way. It's synesthesia-sound based. That doesn't mean I sing perfectly by any means but I sure know when I'm off or others. It's interesting in concerts you find out what an artist's vocal range is operationally which might be completely different than thier albums and it sounds off.

I've never understood the perfect pitch thing. Musical scales are a manmade construct, and vary by culture. The scales used in traditional Chinese and Japanese music, for example, differ from those used in modern Western music, which in turn differ from those used earlier in the West by the Greeks and Romans. So how can you be born with an innate understanding of something that is culturally dependent?

Our notes in our scales are just representations of tones, which are universal, so I would say yes.
You could call E flat "squatcho" and once heard perfect pitch would replicate squatcho.

As if the EU isn't being lobbied by Burisma, too (they hired a Polish ex-EU guy at the same time as Huntie)
But here you see Ciaramella mention they will "circle back" with EU to "expedite" that matter.
You don't "circle back" unless you already had been doing it before...so they could have pressured the EU to help get Shokin fired, and thus the EU action are not evidence of their justification.

California School District Implements "Equity Grading" -- A Students Will Become B Students, and D and F Students Will Become C Students
No D's and F's? No extra credit? Will Bay Area schools' switch to equity grading help or harm students?No, that's a lie. The new "grading" system is designed for the exact opposite reason, to hide how well students understand what they're being taught. It's good for bad students and it's great for bad teachers, who can now say, "I'm doing a great job, even my dumbest kids got C's!"
Dublin Unified School District says the public school grading system is unfair Hrihaan Bhutani is already thinking about college. The Dublin High freshman is taking four Advanced Placement classes next year and has crammed his schedule with extracurricular activities to better his chances of getting into an Ivy League school. But a change at the high school designed to get students less focused on grades has done the opposite. Suddenly, in some classes, A's are almost unachievable, unless you score 100%. And F's don't exist. For high-achieving students like Bhutani, the pressure to be perfect is even more of a burden. "I feel more stressed ... now with this new system," said Bhutani, who is especially sweating his biology class, one of dozens trying a variety of new grading scales under a two-year experiment. "Even if you're at a 99, you would get moved down to an 85," he explained, which translates to a world-ending B. Dublin Unified's new grading policy will go into effect for all 6th through 12th grade classes next year and is part of a national shift toward "equity grading" -- a controversial concept that moves away from traditional grading to better measure how well students understand what they are being taught.
The goal is to lower the impact of things that "fluff" grades -- extra credit, class participation and homework -- while also making it easier for lower-performing students to bounce back from failing.Extra credit, class participation, and homework are "fluff" that has nothing to do with how well kids learn? Homework is 100% critical to learning. Anyone can follow the teacher in class as he explains an algebra problem's solution. The only way you actually learn it is when you do it on your own. But the bad students don't do homework, so homework is now outlawed. It's "fluff." And yes, it will be easier for failing students to "bounce back from failing" when all of their F's and D's will be changed with the stroke of a pen to C's.
... Next year, the district will restrict all letter grades to a 10% range and remove the practice of awarding zero points for assignments as long as they were "reasonably attempted." The new policy will also remove extra credit and bonus points that elevated grades, and provide students with multiple chances to make up missed or failed assignments and minimize homework's impact on a student's grade. Some parents and teachers said they worry the changes will encourage students to slack off and leave them unprepared for college. "I think the dumbing down of curriculum will lead to our kids failing in college because they're not going to be prepared on the same level as kids from other districts and other states," said Dublin parent Olena Stadnyuk. Skeptics say school districts are implementing no-zero policies and removing failing letter grades to boost graduation rates as they struggle to recover from learning loss caused by the pandemic. "This will up kids graduating, it will up their numbers," said Laurie Sargent, an eighth grade English teacher at Cottonwood Creek, a TK-8th grade school in Dublin. "They'll have fewer kids failing and then that looks good. It's strategic."Yup. All the people who failed us in the past are in full cover-up mode. Related: Renegade anti-woke former teacher Chalkboard Heresy explains why it's impossible to get woke teachers to stick to the curriculum and leave their politics at home.
Chalkboard HeresyYes, the leftwing media teaches them that. The leftwing media made that up in order to combat charges that they were biased to the left. They are biased to the left and they know it, so they invented the doctrine that there is no left, there is only "truth," and sure, they're biased in favor of "the truth," who wouldn't be? So "leftwing bias" is changed into "the truth" with a simple semantic intervention. It's as simple as changing D-students into B-students. There is no reality, only the sorcery of what words we call things.
@CBHeresy One thing I've realized after working with teachers for 12 years is that it's very hard to get them to commit to political or ideological neutrality in the classroom because: A. They view teaching as an inherently political act intended to turn students into political units (activists/"change agents.") B. They attach moral value to their beliefs, and thus view the proliferation of those beliefs as a moral obligation. C. They do not recognize particular beliefs as political or ideological, and believe they're "just teaching truth."
D. When trying to be balanced, requiring students to compare two sources or opinions, they engineer- purposefully or unwittingly- the lesson to bring students to certain conclusions.Meanwhile:
Students walked out of Nebo School District in Utah to protest the school for allowing "furries" to t*rrorize other students.

Blah blah blah.
Same shit different day.
Remember "progressive education?" No grades at all? Didn't work.
Neither do phony grading systems. When I was in elementary school, the school did this crap. Instead of A-F (minus E, of course), they had a three-point scale of "N, S, H"
N == "Needs Improvement"
S == "Satisfactory"
H == "High Quality"
Y'know what everyone - even the kids - did? They translated it:
N == F or D
S == C or B or A-
H == A or A+
And who did this scheme piss off? Why, it pissed off the A- and B students. Who did it make happy? The F and C students were happier than a pig in shit with it. Both got to claim higher status than they had earned.
It's always the same. So now it's "equity grading." Whatever. It's the same damn thing.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at April 19, 2024 02:24 PM (HnUIn)
The whole concept of grades was invented a couple of centuries ago because a lazy professor wanted to easily quantify student knowledge without having to work too hard to evaluate it.
It's been refined since then into the lovely grading schema we know and love today.

Probably for the same stupid reasons. I found it was possible to get an "S" grade, with very little effort, and I wasn't particularly motivated to go for an "O."
So teachers would write on my report card "he's not willing to do the work." Well duh, genius. Who's fault is that? I was fine with it. My only regret was learning bad habits I subsequently had to unlearn, in classes where it actually mattered later on.

Okay. So assuming that these are "fluff" (and some of it is - "participation" should not be graded IMO, results should be), then why not just ... stop offering fluff? If you've broken the grading system by corrupting it, why not remove the corruption rather than destroy the grading system to accommodate it?

There are no chains holding people down in Dublin Unified School District. Or anywhere else in America. Just people that show you their priorities by where they choose to remain.
Nobody chooses where they are born, or the family born into. But we all pick - even those with the most limited means - where we stay once we are of the age of consent.

And zeroes suck. Zeroes hurt. Zeroes are brutal. Zeroes are there to tell you not to do that again. Getting rid of zeroes helps nobody. And what is the magical non-zero score if a "reasonable attempt" was made?

Sounds like my son. He barely graduated high school, but it was not because of any lack of intelligence. It was because he hated school. Simple as that. Never did homework, but always aced tests. Teachers finally gave up and let him get the hell out.

And the city police will be rife with guys that like to enforce their will, and also get a pension. And fire-fighters (I was one for a while) will like to take chances and do dumb shit with equipment. Because that's just the type of folks these jobs draw.
This idea we have, that we can have big institutions - government or private - somehow stick to the original mission if only we have enough oaths and creeds and rules is insane. But we keep insisting on it. In purposeful ignorance of basic human nature.

Because:
(a) K-12 involves basic fundamentals necessary to function in any walk of life; a society that is functionally illiterate and innumerate will cease to be anything we recognize as western civ, whereas fleecing people who've already got the basics doesn't quite produce the same effects.
(b) K-12 is more or less compulsory in some form or other, and local and federal government are confiscating our money to provide this education whether we have kids in the system or not, whereas anyone getting fleeced by collegiate education is there on a strictly voluntary basis.
(c) Higher ed has some built-in safeguards. You can have no grades effectively in law school for example, but you have to pass the bar in most places, and you have to know your stuff to get and keep a job for or else all you have is $150K or more in debt that cannot be written off.

In some ways, and especially for math or engineering, for sure it is. But for normal, everyday stuff? No, because it doesn't relate at all to anything people are familiar with or perceive. Besides, I say: "We tried metric in the 70s and 80s, we discovered it sucked, so we got rid of it."

Part of that was thanks to recalcitrant highway departments, who did us a great service.
When forced to put kph speeds, they did so precisely. For example, 60 mph. Most people, if they wanted to succeed, would round up and make it 100 kph. Many state highway departments did not want to succeed, and so did a literal conversion (minus decimals) and set the speed limit at 96 kph.
Even multi-format speedometers didn't have that kind of resolution and it was big, hard-to-grok pain in the ass and the bad attitude and trolling of various state highway departments really helped kill the metric conversion. It was a case of malicious compliance.

The American system is rather better for safety in math and engineering as it sanity checks things when scaling up or down by changing the base. Metric allows for easily missed decimal point movements so you can easily be off by an order of magnitude without noticing.
Metric does have the advantage of being easier to use though.

That's an absolutely terrible grading policy, though I've seen it here where I work. If ALL of the students turn in acceptable work, then they should earn the grade they deserve. Artificial cutoffs because you want to set a proper "curve" don't help students in the least.
In reality, few students will probably get that A by natural means, but don't punish the class if more than the usual number can do it.

Matthew 12:33
First and foremost it's about having God and his Holy Spirit in your life. It is then further about having parents who care enough to help guide you, and lastly but importantly it's about having good, truthful, dedicated teachers. People don't realize how important that last point is for reinforcement. But I can guarantee you the people corrupting children insidiously do. Teachers spend more time with your children than most parents. If you don't have good teachers and carr about your children's future, sell your possessions, move and find them, or if so inclined school them yourselves. Irrespective, start and end every day in prayer to God, our Father.

The real reason metric didn't catch-on here is screw threads. Too many machine tools, oil field hardware, literally everything in use and in-production in the US used or manufactured used Unified Standard (Imperial) threads and threaded fasteners. Re-tooling and inventory costs would have been astronomical.

I had a Physics teacher who scaled on "Highest grade in the class is 100 everyone else is adjusted based on that, then clumped into grading groups."
Well, we had who turned out to be her year's valedictorian in our class, and she did everything perfect, PLUS all the extra credit, scoring 120%.
This means all the rest of us LOST 20% off of our grade off the top. Someone with an 80%? Nope, sorry, it's a 60% now.

Then one day one of my students is driving in Death Valley and gets a flat tire. The spare has air in it. The jack is in good working order, and the lug wrench is there. But this B student still can't change the tire. Being in Death Valley it is 130F and there is no cell service.
The inscription on the headstone should read "We though he knew how to change a tire"

I think it's pretty simple.
1. Some groups are never going to perform (for a variety of reasons, some of which is almost certainly innate ability). No reform can save them as a demographic, as opposed to select individuals. Progress by others would make this undeniable. We all know who's being discussed. But this is all unsayable. So no matter how perverse, anything that can be used as a fig leaf to avoid saying the unsayable will be done.
2. You can't keep other groups on the plantation if they learn to get it done for themselves. So you have to keep those capable of self-improvement from doing so. If they succeed, they won't need their white saviors, race hucksters, and other assorted do-gooders and grifters. That kind of independence cannot be allowed.

If Trump were to get 80M votes (doable) and RFK Jr gets 30M (15%), then Punchy would have to steal some 85M to 95M to make his win convincing for the Dems - and such a total of 190M to 205M ballots cast and counted would mean that over 75% of the entire voting population in the entire US would have to vote for someone and then be counted.
The most ever recorded in the history of the US until now? The incredible (and not very credible at all) 66% in 2020...
Before that? 49% in 2016. Yeah, the cheat will need to be at insane and laughable levels if RFK Jr takes 10% or more of the Dem vote. The number of casted and counted votes in the US would have had to have gone up some 25% in just 8 short years - from 135M to 200M plus - ie 75M or more votes...and with no explanation by the media why that might be at all - this simply cannot be done...

Changing the measurement standard for screw threads in the nation that outstripped the world combines in manufacturing would have been ultra-costy and non-US consumer friendly.
As in, guy goes into an auto-parts store and asks for some item with threaded holes in it. Clerk asks him if the engine was made before or after year X. Guy tells him before. Clerk checks inventory and tells him they ran out of the one he needs two years ago; no one makes them anymore because they have the old, Imperial-thread studs. Then tells the poor guy, you know you should replace your engine with a metric thread one. Guy is acquitted for murder.

In college, I had a math prof who took it on himself to make his students like in terms of radians, and not degrees. He tried to do that, never using degrees.

He has no business being an instructor of anything. His ego was driving the grading policy===not common sense as to educational goals for students.
I am familiar with assessment of student learning outcomes having been tasked with it at the collegiate level as well as how to test for it.
My courses pretty much followed that pattern before I became involved with assessment at the departmental level but dealing with departmental assessment goals and integrating those macro outcomes with the university where I worked sharpened my educational practices.

Average students can achieve mastery of many subjects--it just takes longer for them to do it and often takes multiple teaching techniques to get the a-ha! moment.
Excellent students get it pretty much regardless of the format of the class and many times regardless of the quality of their instructor if the course is memorization and reading primarily. True STEM courses can be a bit different depending on the student's mathematical background and ability.

its virtually always the excellent students who do extra credit stuff because they enjoy the subject and have time since the assignments are straightforward for them.
Posted by: Oldcat
=====
I found from my career in higher ed that it was bimodal. Hardworking students often did the extra credit if the assignment was reasonable as did those few excellent students that found education as 'fun'. Lazy students went with the flow until after grades posted made it apparent that they would fail--thus the late minute appeal for extra credit after they took my finals and did poorly on them.
Posted by: whig at April 19, 2024 03:33 PM (nWD6/)
The only people who get hurt here are high achieving students, because there is no way for the college to know if they were a good student trapped in a B, or a B student. You'd better nail your SAT or ACT.
Better yet - move out of the district or home school.

Democrats Save Mike Johnson's Ukraine Spending Package
With the support of Democrats, the House Rules Committee has advanced Speaker Mike Johnson's package of foreign aid bills for Ukraine and Israel. The legislation, which overcame significant opposition from congressional Republicans, will now be voted on by the full House over the weekend. Key Details: The House Rules Committee voted 9-3 to advance the package, with Democratic support being a rare occurrence for Republican bills. Republican Reps. Chip Roy, Thomas Massie, and Ralph Norman voted against the rule, expressing frustration that aid to Ukraine was not paired with conservative border security provisions. ...
The package of bills providing aid to Israel, Ukraine, and other allies was advanced after Democrats took the unusual step of supporting a procedural vote for Republican bills. This move was met with opposition from Republican Reps. Chip Roy, Thomas Massie, and Ralph Norman, who voted against the rule due to their dissatisfaction that aid to Ukraine was not paired with conservative border security provisions. ... House Speaker Mike Johnson had previously pushed to pair aid to Ukraine with border security provisions. However, his efforts were met with resistance, leading to several rules failing on the floor, largely due to objections from the right flank of the party. Despite calls from several members of the Republican conference to raise the threshold to bring a motion to oust the speaker, Johnson announced that the House "will continue to govern under the existing rules."
Greg Price
@greg_price11 BREAKING: The House just voted overwhelmingly to advance the foreign aid bill for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and Gaza. The vote was 316-94 with 165 Democrats and 151 Republicans voting yes. Up next, there's going to be separate vote on foreign aid to each nation which will then be fused together in one package that will be sent to a senate in a procedural move known as MIRV. No border security, no amendments, just Republican leadership working with Democrats to fund wars across the globe.

Appropriate, really. A MIRV is an "multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle" - a multi-warhead design that lets you send multiple warheads to the enemy on a single rocket.

That's retarded, sir.
If copyright is surrendered, it enters the public domain. You can't just go and claim it for yourself.
Not to mention that this might not be copyrightable anyway, because it was produced in connection with a crime. And even if it is copyrightable, and somehow these people can claim to own the copyright, that doesn't justify secrecy and fair use would certainly apply anyway.

1. Because the US is a current ally of Iran and a historical ally of Israel and it is an election year so the US is doing what it always does and is trying to have its cake and eat it, too by supporting both sides of the conflict in hops of holding on the associated interest groups within the Party.
2. Because we're an empire, and empires have to support their possessions and retain favorable access to them. Like all empires before us, we are dying of bankruptcy.

Johnson has made himself the primary target of the Freedom Caucus by requiring Democrats to come to his aid on the Rules Committee. After the committee vote, Johnson won’t be done relying on Democrats: He’ll need their votes to pass the rule to bring the bills to the House floor, and maybe again to fend off an attempt by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her allies to oust him.
Johnson’s gambit depends on his getting support from Democrats on the Rules Committee. But here’s the thing: That just doesn’t happen. Like, ever. The Twitter account Ringwiss notes that “It would appear that never in recorded history have minority members of the Rules Committee voted in favour of reporting a rule to make up for majority votes against it.”
I want to stress that this is not a done deal by any means. Many things can happen in the next 48 hours that could blow it all up.

The independent journalist, Mohammed Al-Alawi, reported on the purchase of the villa for $4.85 million in August by Olga Kiyashko, leaking alleged documents as proof of his claims. The report raised questions of corruption and misappropriation of US financial aid to Ukraine by the Zelenskyy family.

Almost all of Shakespeare's plays are adaptations of earlier works. IIRC The Tempest is the only actual original plot; the rest were really just punched up with better dialogue. (And a character tweaked here and there.)

Most people don't think - I know that. I know it by just a little over fifty years of observation.
Most people, early on, develop a set of behaviors. And those don't change. We call them "beliefs" - I call them "faiths". And their typical response, when the currents of life run counter to their set course, is to row harder. Like a boat with no sail and no rudder.

Johnson is a good man who has been lashed to the barrel. That rules committee needs its butt kicked and those 151 strays need to go through the dipping vat.

What blows my mind is france, which isn't even part of Nato, calling for Nato troops to go in and try to change the outcome.
Think about that one. We've had too many American lives lost because of french fudgery, and the U.S. mindlessly allowing ourselves to be sent in to clean up after them.
Never again.
Gee, where have I heard that phrase before.

It came when the response to the Tea Party wave was the GOP crushing the Tea Party wave. But people, being what they are, just had to believe in the GOP - because that's what they believed for a few decades - and also shout down anyone who suggested any different.

Possibly.
But highly unlikely.

2) notice how--after saturation coverage attacking his family just after he became Speaker, it all ... just stopped?
Have you ever, ever, ever known the left to just stop attacking a Republican? Especially if they have a juicy "weird family" angle?

Personally, I think the left generally has a grip on the majority of the funds congress has access to so they can bribe themselves. It would, perhaps, explain why so many of the GOP vote with the left even though it's against their constituent's wishes.

The grift has about run its course at the national level. I stand by an earlier prediction that this is the GOP's last competitive federal election. The Left will try to prop it up because it also needs, albeit less frequently, an excuse for what it does, too, but that may be too big of a lift. I wouldn't be shocked if the subsequent bundling of the Ukraine and Israel money is solely for the benefit of the Left, to wit, their base would and may still go apeshit over money going to Tel Aviv.

Pay attention to this 'unrealized gains' taxation proposal for a Biden second term. I don't think even the uniparty is in favor of flat out communism and wealth redistribution. But if we don't keep the (D)'s out of office it will become real.
That's the only reason I vote (R) anymore. 'Prevent defence' - and I know the line that 'the only thing the prevent defence does is prevent you from winning'. But that's football and not the tax code.

This is what the GOP is. This is what it always does, like clockwork. The GOP claims to stand for X, Y and Z (they tell you it's raining) and then proceed to partner with their pals in the "other party" to do the opposite (they piss on you).
The GOP does not believe anything it *tells* you it believes, and neither do its members in good standing. A damn near perfect track record of open collaboration with the "other party" belies its stated positions.
This is the GOP. This is what courses through its veins and directs its compass. The party itself is exactly what it looks like. If you're not down with it, you - not they - are the "in name only" member of that party.
The likes of Rand Paul and Matt Gaetz - the ones who appear to believe the stated positions (or will at least pretend to) are the odd men out, and are hated by their "own" party while often-disparaged so-called "RINOs" all hang out after work and have a drink together with their "opponents" in the "other party."
So which ones are "name-only" Republicans in reality? It's folks like Matt Gaetz and Rand Paul.

Complacent voters, pulling the lever for incumbents. And then when people get sick of the "turncoats," some stalwart conservative, like say, an Eyepatch Crenshaw comes along and tells everyone how conservative he is, you guys, and voters vote for him.

Speaker has total control over what goes to the floor.
He could have worked with committees to get a good border bill to voting shape, gotten that to the floor, and said, "No Ukraine funding until this passes."
He could even go so far as to say, "No more CRs until the border is closed," shut down the government until the next Congress, and gone fishing

RFKJr. Makes the Ballot in Worst State for Biden -- Michiganistan
The Muslims are looking to show their political power by voting for someone other than Biden. They won't vote for Trump.
But they will vote for RFKJr.Joe Biden squeaked by in Michigan in 2020. He can't afford to lose a big chunk of voters in 2024. Trump narrowly won Michigan in 2016. Michigan is a crucial battleground state. Kennedy is working to get access to all 50 state ballots. RFK, Jr. was nominated by the Natural Law Party, a small party with ballot access in Michigan.... The news was confirmed by the Michigan Secretary of State's office. The Natural Law Party has filed its documents with the Bureau of Elections. Kennedy will appear on the ballot in November.This is bad for Biden. It's also bad for Israel -- Biden will now have to side with Hamas and Iran even more. Meanwhile, Israel launched disappointingly small missile attacks at targets in Syria and around the nuclear plant at Nanatz, Iran. But they didn't hit the reactor. The Jerusalem Post says this was a demonstration attack showing they could hit the reactor, and Iran's air defenses are completely unable to stop Israel.
Sources have confirmed to the Jerusalem Post that the attack on Iran at Isfahan, attributed by sources in the New York Times to Israel, hit Iranian air force assets at Isfahan, almost right next door to the Islamic Republic's nuclear site in the same area. The message was unmistakable, 'we chose not to hit your nuclear sites this time, but we could have done worse right here,' sources told the Post. In other words, the attack at Isfahan was designed not only to hurt Iran but also to make it eminently clear how vulnerable to attack its nuclear sites are.For its part, Iran is pretending that "infiltrators," not Israelis, were responsible for the blast, so that they aren't compelled to retaliate against Israel.

Joey Showers is anti-Israel because he's a leftwing shiteating cocksucker and all leftwing shiteating cocksuckers hate Israel. Obama was fucking over Israel while sucking off Muslim terror long before Michigan demographics was ever an issue. Nothing has changed.

Cheating on behalf of an aging demented prezzie that no one really likes is a risky proposition. Has led to governments being unseated in other places. One of the top three reasons that governments are toppled is cheating in elections.
True communist states like the Norks, the USSR back in the day, or China are a bit different and despite our problems in the US, we don't have that here yet. The Deep State is working on it but the coming government finance failure is likely to work against consolidating into a truly authoritarian state. More likely to splinter into pieces than for an effective consolidation to happen.

Not just that: For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation, The Times reported Friday.
After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Obama walked out of his meeting with Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a U.S. congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.
“It was awful,” the congressman said. One Israeli newspaper called the meeting “a hazing in stages,” poisoned by such mistrust that the Israeli delegation eventually left rather than risk being eavesdropped on a White House telephone line. ...

Yeah
They could cheat to the win if the Muslims stay home, so long as the old Dems still vote.
But old Dems and Muslims staying home or voting for RFK Jr?
They can't overcome that.
Especially if it's a vote to send a message. People are irrational like that.
Consider: All the polls showing Trump with just a slight lead, all the hysteria over "Trump the dictator!," "white nationalists!," etc.?
That's a full-court press to cattle prod their base, fear then into voting for Biden, "you can't afford to send a message."
But, the risk of overplaying their hand is huge.
Many are going to see through the hysteria, especially recalling nothing bad like that happened when Trump was president.
And, worse, it could cascade--Trump really does move ahead, and swing state votes think he's going to win, so a protest vote is "safe."
It's gonna get uglier.

I think that's true of most of Hollywood nowadays. It's inside pool on how much contempt they can show for their audiences and still get glowing reviews and cash fat paychecks.
I finally finished Avatar 2: The Way of Shit after 2 prior tries. It had to be a joke on how badly Cameron could make a movie and still make a ton of money. He was laughing at his audience writing that script on toilet paper while sitting on the shitter after a big Mexican dinner.

Most of those protests are run by professional protesters and organizers. Often they actually recruit on college campuses by paying the yutes a few bucks, meals, and transportation to participate.
Pretty much all of those protests seen in the media are fake crap designed to sway public opinion in a crisis. Organic, they are not.

...yet our own political leaders routinely ignore 70%+ of their own voters wishes.

It’s a good observation because politics is actually the art of dividing people to accumulate and maintain power. Once you’ve got the base secured you can only work on the margins.
Trump has been attempting and has succeeded to a large degree to steal the working class division but Republican politicians rather lose than absorb that group.

I remember the 80's teen movie trope where the hero gets into a fight with the bully but doesn't actually hurt him, he merely deflects all the blows heading his way. At the end, he throws bully to the ground and launches a kill shot palm strike to the face. But he doesn't actually connect and stops one inch away. The bully now knows he's been beaten and humiliated and the fight ends.
Some times that works, sometimes it doesn't. I guess time will tell.

The GOP is and has been a dead party for decades mouthing pieties but then doing the opposite in power on wars, taxes, trade, national security, the economy, and immigration.
It is only the fact that the Dems have become insane in governance that the GOP manages to scrape together enough votes from its base that votes for the GOP for self defense reasons--not passion.
Trump and a few others are trying to revive the corpse of the GOP rather than create a new party but I am not sure they can be successful. But it is worth a vote and support to those reformers if they can teach the elephant to dance.

I have a theory about that but not sharing. Israel knows how to play the game and if I'm correct don't wanna tip Iran off.
Bonus points: If they *really* do think it was an inside job it only adds to their paranoia, which will lead to further crackdown on citizens, which could lead to those citizens deciding they'd be better off without the mullahs.

The Romans and later Byzantines probably had the best system for monarchy where they 'adopted' someone and trained them to be their successor rather than relying on the genetic lottery. Unfortunately, enough rulers like Marcus Aurelius etc. ignored that system in favor of promoting their beloved spawn that were incompetent and/or evil buffoons.

It’s not that far fetched, I played around with 270towin and there were a few plausible scenarios where 269 ties happened.
If that does happen Trump easily wins in the house. Remember it’s a vote by state delegation. Which means California’s 52 reps get 1 vote just like Wyoming’s 1 rep gets a vote.
Posted by: Montec at April 19, 2024 12:42 PM (Y6Wgg)
MAYBE - TX and FL also only get 1 vote...and states with 1 House member gets TONS of power. So, you need to vote R everywhere. Like VA. it's a 1 vote difference in the party delegation makeup right now, and it's the wrong way...

This is the info on Wikipedia:
"The Last Train from Hiroshima: The Survivors Look Back
On August 12, 2010, Entertainment Weekly reported that Cameron was working on a biographical film about Tsutomu Yamaguchi, a Japanese man that survived both the Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The film's title was announced as Last Train to Hiroshima.[96] Cameron met Yamaguchi just days before he died.[96] The film would be based on the book of the same by Charles R. Pellegrino.[97] However, the project entered into development hell after Cameron decided to first focus on the Avatar sequels."
The entry has obviously not been updated recently because Cameron was saying it was possibly his next project after Avatar 3 last year.

Being on the ballot ina all 50 is huge.
Being pissed enough to sue, a la Jill Stein, will be even bigger.
Judges were a-ok tossing Orange Man Bad suits for lack of harm/ standing. Especially with the dodge, "he would have lost anyway."
But RFK Jr, those parties do suffer harm even in a loss: Because even a few thousand more votes gets them auto ballot access and federal matching next cycle.

Speaking of the MV Dali, things are progressing nicely and they're pulling big section of the bridge out of the water. Small shallower channel ready in about 10 days, the full channel cleared 30 days after that.
One absolute shocker - one construction vehicle they pulled out of the water looked absolutely unscathed. Which has started some unfortunate conspiracy types to crawl out of the woodwork.

People seem to forget that 2022 happened, and there was a lot of out in the open cheating there, too.
The two examples I use are the PA SoS sending out 250,000 illegal ballots "accidentally" to be cured, and the AZ SoS effectively turning of signature verification for mail in ballots which was declared illegal by a federal court months afterwards (though the election not rerun for some reason).
Mail in ballots are where they do the mass level cheating now, and there's nothing stopping them from outright breaking the law, in the open, and getting restrained. The courts would have to turn against them for that.

Tell me the frame of the poll, the sampling technique, and whether it was a media poll.
Anyone citing polls here should use that as a guideline as to whether people should pay attention or not to it.
The frame of all adults, registered voters, and likely voters determines likely accuracy. Media polls always suck and are designed to push media narratives not accuracy. And the sampling technique is whether the sampling was RDD, convenience like internet polling is, or actual combination of phone calls, texts, internet, etc.

An essential aspect of political fortification is plausibility. Doesn't have to be particularly persuasive or able to withstand close scrutiny. Just has to be plausible enough to get repeated relentlessly through a news cycle or two and settle into conventional wisdom. Like "Supreme Court overturning Roe led to unprecedented turnout for Democrats."
I wouldn't dismiss the idea that "RFK Jr got a decisive number of independent/center right votes, which led to a Biden victory" will settle into conventional wisdom by Thanksgiving.

TJM, I like you but I follow fraud and have actually done a bit of published research on it awhile back. Fraud requires two parts aside from simply ballot stuffing. The first part is fictitious registrants--dead, moved, floaters (aka homeless), and illegals (felons in some states, nursing home residents with dementia, and illegal immigrants). The second is the mail in ballot. But, in almost every state, parties can challenge the issuance of a mail ballot and stop it by demonstrating the non existence of the person or that particular voter is illegally registered (felon, dementia, etc.).
In many states, that person is still eligible to vote in person but without voter id and the infrastructure needed, it is far harder and much less common for people to fraudulently vote in person.

Not sure. Stuffing ballot box for Biden will be a tough sell this year. But "RFK Jr protest vote unexpectedly took more out of Trump than Biden" is a lot easier. Confusing, first of all, which will help a lot in the few short weeks before election is certified. Plausibility is all that's required.

If they had to directly tie individual votes to registrations, then I'd consider this a serious hurdle. But they don't have to do that. They just have to keep it under the total voter threshold.
And even then, Philly can get away with 105% turnout. Where's the voter roll maintenance matter in that scenario?
And again, PA didn't "accidentally" send out 250,000 illegal mail in ballots in 2022 because they were worried about looks of impropriety or keeping with a good margin. They did it because the courts had decided that any cheating was fine as long as Democrats won.
That's the incentive structure now: Democrats do anything and everything to win, courts sign off on it or, at worst, give them a slap on the wrist months later.
Throw in the unalloyed fact that no state-level GOP structure in purple states will seriously fight, and you've got 2024 being a massive, in the open, cheat fest.

THE MORNING RANT: Another Prominent Atheist Discovers the Civilizational Importance of Christianity
A famous atheist and evolutionary biologist, Richard Dawkins, explained he identifies as a "cultural Christian" in an interview after learning Ramadan lights were hung on a street in the UK as opposed to hanging lights to celebrate Easter. "I must say I'm slightly horrified to hear that Ramadan is being promoted instead," Dawkins said in an interview with Rachel S. Johnson of LBC Sunday. "I feel that we are a Christian country." "It's true that statistically, the number of people who actually believe in Christianity is going down and I'm happy with that, but I would not be happy if, for example, we lost all our cathedrals and our beautiful parish churches. So, I count myself a cultural Christian.”Being happy about the collapse in the number of practicing Christians while simultaneously despairing the loss of what practicing Christians bring to the culture is quite the “Chesterton’s Fence” moment. Dawkins clearly did not understand the importance of the protective fence provided by Christian culture before seeking to clear it out.
Dawkins said that if he had to choose between Christianity and Islam, he would choose Christianity "every single time." "I'm not talking about individual Muslims, who, of course, are all quite different, but the doctrines of Islam, the Hadith and the Quran, it's fundamentally hostile to women, hostile to gays and, I find that I like to live in a culturally Christian country, although I do not believe a single word of the Christian faith."Welcome back to the radiant glow of the chapel, Richard! I hope you will ultimately repent of the damage you have done, seek the forgiveness of those you once mocked, and perhaps one day even walk through those chapel doors and join the body of believers who are the foundation of the civilization that you see slipping away.
It was just a few months ago that another prominent atheist, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, announced that she had decided to become a practicing Christian. I wrote about it at the time, noting that, “As Ms. Ali makes clear, she is making a calculated decision – a decision that is somewhat political - to become a practicing Christian.”
Ms. Ali received some criticism for her politically-motivated decision regarding her religious affiliation, to which I wrote, ”I pray that the rational decision process that has led Ms. Ali through the chapel doors will blossom into genuine faith with all of its rewards.” But even if as a practicing Christian Ms. Ali has doubts about the faith, she and society will be better off for her living a Christian life, promoting the Christian faith, and perpetuating Christian culture. I pray that Mr. Dawkins’ awakening regarding the importance of Christian culture will allow him to follow the path of Ms. Ali. Yet I also understand the frustration of so many Christians toward Mr. Dawkins for the damage he has done, and for not fully understanding the dissonance of desiring a “cultural Christianity” that lacks actual practicing Christians. “Richard Dawkins’ ‘Cultural Christianity’ Is Thin Gruel: There is no such thing as Christianity without Christians” [The American Conservative – 4/05/2024]Having actively persecuted the church, Dawkins finds he is sad to see it go. We cannot pretend this is anyone’s fault but his own, and that of his compatriots who have crusaded against religion as the root of all social ills. Nevertheless, some of the church’s greatest apologists have come from its worst former persecutors. May the same be true of Dawkins.Mr. Dawkins might be shocked to learn that in communities where Christianity remains strong and the pews remain full, there are an abundant number of parishioners whose “faith” would fall somewhere between agnostic and atheist if they were forced to be honest. Although these doubt-filled church-goers may not be published philosophers, they have long understood the magnificent importance of maintaining Christian culture and living a Christian life – for their families, for their communities, and for civilization as a whole. They also understand that being a practicing Christian helps inoculate against bad religions. If I may quote myself again from that Ayaan Hirsi Ali piece:
People are inherently religious. It was almost certainly a factor in our evolution and survival as a species, helping to create family units, parenting structures, agricultural practices, forbidden destructive behaviors, etc. which allowed humans to flourish. But being inherently religious, we’ll rapidly adopt evil religious practices where there is a void from good religions. Anti-humanity death cults (the Church of Climate, radical Islam) have filled the void where Judeo-Christianity has retreated.These agnostic-yet-practicing Christians have understood for generations what Mr. Dawkins is just figuring out. Nick the church usher – with his wife in the choir and with his children active in church youth programs - may have some doubts about the tenets of the faith, but he also gives generously, prays with his family, volunteers for mission work, reads Bible stories to his children, serves on committees, and actively promotes Christian culture. Christianity and the community benefit from his family’s active commitment to the church and to the faith, despite Nick’s doubts. Finally, and this may be linguistic semantics, but it seems to me that agnostics are more likely to truly be non-believers than those who call themselves atheist, but the word “atheist” is so toxic that they don’t use it. In fact, the word “atheist” has pretty much become a synonym for “anti-Christian.” I know of plenty of people who identify as atheist who are venomously anti-Christian, yet they are not hostile to other religions, and they are especially sympathetic to Islam. Further, they are hyper-religious about climate and the environment, embracing the most primitive religious belief of all…that human misbehavior is the cause of bad weather. I also chuckle when “atheists” speculate if we are living in a simulation. Not unlike their forebears gathered around a communal fire many millennia ago, these “non-believers” are sitting around a digital campfire with others in their online tribe, pondering their creator, and trying to formulate a creation story based on the earthly realm they know. In other words, they are trying to write their own Book of Genesis. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

Dawkins catastrophic mistake (that he now seems willing to admit) was thinking that just because he personally doesn't believe in God or Judeo-Christian religion/ethics that they have no benefit to the larger society.
I'm agnostic myself. But I recognize the obvious benefits that Judeo-Christian religion/ethics has brought to Western society, and especially compared to the savage barbarism of the Muslim world.

Atheism is as often practiced, and as you point out, is its own religion. It isn't a disbelief in G-d, it's a hatred of faith.
But that comes with problems, because faith structures are a human imperative. Some are better than others, but everyone - and every civilization - has one. Atheism is anathema, and it depends on the faithful to provide buttresses. Atheism can only survive when supported by the presence of the faithful, because the deference - sincere or merely for show (e.g, real or the "Pascal's Wager" variety) - of the faithful to G-d and the resulting moderation of their behavior provides a rubric for their own behavior. Atheism can only survive as a going concern when it is areligious rather than antireligious. Pure atheistic morality has no anchor and therefore imposes no limits.

IF Christianity is clearly a superior "civilizational" good, since it reflects God's ordering of his creation, MAYBE you should also reflect on the central truth of Christ.
That would be far more important than simply trying to continue a "cultural" Christianity.

I sometimes watch atheists attempt to debate Christians during presentations by Christians and it's almost laughable to watch the atheists flail around when the Christian presenter asks very simple questions.

There's a very good website that I follow called "History for Atheists." It's done by a guy named Tim O'Neill, who is himself an atheist. But he is also a historian, and believes that, if atheists are going to claim that they follow facts and logic, that they need to get those facts straight. So his site is all about taking various claims that atheists make about Christian history (the burning of the library at Alexandria, the Chruch's attempt to suppress science by persecuting Galileo, etc.) and showing how these claims are just wrong, or at any rate grossly exaggerated to further the atheist cause. I highly recommend it.

My pastor talked about the difference between "evidence" and "proof" recently. There is a mountain of evidence that God exists, should anyone choose to look for it, even if there is no proof. There is some interesting evidence that IPUs *could* exist, but again, there's no proof. And they are far more unreachable than God at this point.

The eclipse last week is evidence that God exists and that he loves us.
If our moon were a little bigger or a little smaller, if it were a little further away or a little closer, if it were moving in a different orbital direction- if it were not perfectly where it is now, we would never know what an eclipse is.
We have 200ish moons in our solar system. "Somehow" we ended up with one that PERFECTLY covers the sun. If it were bigger, the sun would just disappear. If it were the slightest bit smaller, the sun would still shine. (Think about the difference between 99% coverage and 100%. It was a massive difference in experience.)

This isn't even being a cultural Christian. Pretty buildings filled with crosses do not a religion make. You want to admire fine architecture? Great. There's a reason these churches are beautiful and feel beautiful.
And the fact that he can't properly reason why he would rather live in a culturally Christian country undermines everything. Something, something higher power...

It's easy to be led astray by this approach, though. Stephen Meyer has made a career out of it, and is very persuasive, but there is a counter. He'll say "what are the odds that x happens in this exact way without intelligent design?" (actually paraphrasing) However, I could say the same thing about my morning bagel. What are the odds that that exact bagel would exist on my plate? I'd have to calculate things like the positions of the various atoms in the bagel, which would generate an astronomical number of zeros. Therefore, my bagel could not exist.

These are the processes that keep us alive, but they take place, for the most part, without or knowing or thinking much about them. These things are as amazing as the movements of the cosmos, even when, as in my post-29 case, they don't always work as flawlessly as they used to.

Agreed. Even if people didn't believe in God they recognized that adhering to the 10 Commandments provided an orderly, functional society.

I make a distinction between atheists and Christophobic anti-religious hate bigots. The former are people who don't or can't believe. The latter want to make sure those who do can't practice their faith, at least in public.

Science is great about explaining "what" and "how."
It tends to fail miserably when explaining "why."
WHY did the universe come into being?
WHY is it so darn big?
WHY did humans evolve as we did?
WHY do we have consciousness?

Of course the sort of Christian society you are talking about is a better one to live in. I just don't believe in God. Do you expect me to live a lie?

That is an unverifiable statement, since we can never know for sure what goes on in the minds of animals.

I've consider myself a Christian my entire life. I've failed many a time but, hopefully, have been redeemed to some degree, too. Only with age do I get "Let Go and Give it to God," and that it's not easy to follow.
YTG, 'CS Lewis & “What Let Go and Let God” really means' May 18, 2016. In part, "“Let go and let God.”
In part, "It’s likely most people who use this phase have no idea where it came from. The Keswick Convention, begun in the late 19th Century, popularized this phrase. The “let go” means to surrender everything to God. The “let God” means to yield to His guiding and directing of our lives."
IDK. Like I said, more solid belief & internal peace but it has come with age. 🙏💕

I'll go a step further and posit that admitting that "cultural Christianity" is a societal good is as far as the people who give him voice will let him go.
IF he were to actually have his road to Damascus moment and want to tell the world about it, he'd be uninvited to all the shows which currently have him on and helped build his name and reputation.
Sure, he'd be a guest on many Christian shows and sites, but really, he'd just be preaching to the choir and not the athiests who need to hear it.

It's a pretty entertaining read.
From the article: Robert Ingersoll quipped of the two parties that “each side would have been glad to defeat the other, if it could do so without electing its own candidate.”
Sounds familiar.

Like most of the NRO drivel, it is full of half truths to serve an agenda--aka anti tariffs and kow towing to financial interests. It is also flawed in its analysis of elections in a party era--contested conventions were a thing back then and did not demonstrate widespread public dislike of a candidate. By all accounts, Harrison was a cold person and apparently had a limp dead fish handshake. On the other hand, Cleveland had pretty good political skills but was at sea regarding government finances. There is also the distortion regarding government finances in the NRO piece--simply put--the Union pensions for troops were an issue as in the 1890's--those vets were aging and many were unable to work at the time making them dependent on the government to do the right thing. Many of them were also drafted into service.

And Tarzan and Tantor the elephant were always good friends. The one time in his life Tarzan ate elephant meat, he had not hunted for a long time, the stuff came out of a Gomangani cookpot, and he didn't know what it was. (The animal had also been sick before it died or was killed, and a semi-poisoned Tarzan wound up having nightmares!)

Bandwagon effect and it affects people that like to be in a herd. Ironically, it also has a sell by date as well as eventually everyone not a rabid fan gets disgusted with the hype machine and turns into a curmudgeon regarding the latest fad and the kids will always find a new faddish singer and then make fun of the folks adhering to previous faddish singer.

Good for you. The most important moment of my life was the admission: "God is." Everything since then is refinement. And it's so refreshing to see in the last few years how three different men -- coming from entirely, wildly different backgrounds -- have moved toward God: Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, and Russell Brand. And they've all done it simply by asking questions and being genuinely open to the answers, wherever the logic led, and no matter what they previously thought.
Guys like Dawkins tend to be incapable of being honest with themselves, because they've got it all figured out -- everything in its cubby. Life isn't like that. And we're supposed to come to the realization sometimes that "I don't know" is a perfectly valid conclusion.

Agnostic's, real ones...Just don't "Know", and are open to research, study, comparative applications, but it doesn't drive their lives.
Atheists, real ones..."Know" there is no god(s) and it is not a big deal, similar to the santa, tooth fairy, easter bunny, myths. It is not something that drives their lives.
ANTI Theists are those who are evangelical in their "Knowing" there is NO GODS!, any one who proffers or promotes God belief is evil incarnate, and insist upon preaching their own personal superiority of intellect and morality to one and all.
I was once an evangelical atheist, an anti theist.

I do not believe in God, I do not believe I am six foot one, I do not believe my eyes are blue..these are absolute, incontrovertibly FACTS, beyond disputation. I belong to the worlds smallest congregation, no one but me in it...but the worlds largest cathedral...it IS the world.
I do my best every single hour of every day to be "good" in the world, to DO good in the world, to bring kindness and helpfulness to every person and thing that crosses my path, to be grateful for the lives I have been given, praying only for knowledge of gods will for me, the power to carry that out, the willingness to do so...and the opportunities to attempt to make up for some of the harms I have done in the past, that I may be able to live comfortably within my own skin.

It is the first work by Motley to enter The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection. Motley is known for his depictions of everyday life in the Bronzeville area of Chicago and his portraiture practice. He was born on October 7, 1891, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and passed away on January 16, 1981, in Chicago, Illinois."

The Vase, The Book, The Bowl and the Metronome
A Study of Common Anglo-American Ecclectica, ca. 1870-1920
The expansion of readily-available consumer goods during the late 19th and early 20th centuries led to a greater consumption of a wider variety of goods, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom. One side effect of this increased consumption was the development of a "collection culture" where objects were acquired, retained and displayed rather than commonly or routinely used.
This growth of "collections" and associated increase in acquisition for its own sake is examined through an ethno-anthropological framework, with comparisons drawn to contemporary "consumer culture," with recommendations for reducing excessive consumption to reduce the social effects of wealth disparity and the ecological effects of climate change.

I like the artists style. Feels very 20s.
He seemed to like naked women, the figures are more realistic than idealized.
The page on this one at the Met:
"He painted several family members—usually elders—throughout his career. His sitter in this instance is his mother’s half-brother, Robert (Bob) White, who was born enslaved in 1850 but eventually owned his own farm. Motley portrays him at home in Arkansas seated on his porch, wizened by age after decades of labor. The table next to him features a still life arrangement of a vase of flowers, an ashtray complete with match holder, and a book, perhaps a Bible, a detail that might signify White’s literacy."
Me: or maybe Bob's devotion to God? Crazy idea, I know, Mr Commie Writer.

Bob would be holding a corn cob pipe. But that one, though the right color, has a narrow decorative band between the pipe body and the stem (the part that goes into your mouth). Normally cob pipes don't have any frills like that.
Still, it's neat that he is clearly sitting on his porch, with a book and his pipe.

LOL.
One of the best visual jokes I have ever seen - and I didn't notice it for years - is from the movie "Office Space." One of the Bobs (the tall skinny one) wears suspenders that are made out of those woven leather belts. It's a very subtle and extremely funny visual pun on the "belt-and-suspenders" thing.

Odd. Why? Argentina and the US already have decent military relations, and even train together during exercises.
Argentina has a naval air force, for example, but no carriers since the early 90s IIRC. The maintain the naval air wing to interact with American naval forces should anything happen in that theater.
The training exercises - often touch-and-go drills on US carriers - are colloquially referred to as "Gringo-Gaucho Drills," which is (deliberately) quite amusing.

Lucky Strike had an ad campaign in the Forties after America got into the war. Apparently their cig packs used to sport a green stripe, or were green. After Dec. 1941, LS canceled the green, and ads proclaimed, "Lucky Strike Green Has Gone to War!" I guess they wanted you to think that the green dye was essential to the war effort -- that they were sacrificing the old packaging for the duration. (I don't think the green package ever came back.)

Service recommendation: When assembly 243571-J or derivative assemblies are in use, it is recommended to also check for accelerated wear-out of the green electron gun. Yellow-shafted flicker is usually related to convergence drift, but absent physical damage, it rarely occurs in the absence of abnormally reduced green intensity. If the green electron gun is at reduced output, increase its drive until it returns to normal range and advise the owner that the set will likely need to be replaced within five years.

Nearly a hundred new marine species have been discovered on reefs near New Zealand - Ocean Census
The research was conducted in a little-explored area of the Bounty Trench, and it was there that new species of ocean life were found. . . .

Japanese Kenta Adachi broke the world record for the number of pull-ups in 24 hours among men
He managed to do 8940 pull-ups, which is more than 300 more than the previous record set by Gary Lloyd from Australia.
Kenta ascribes his visit to Bounty Trench for lunch with his new record.

I dipped into the market a month or so ago and bought 10 mighty shares of Netflix (NFLX) at around $570 per share. I usually do not buy (sometimes to my detriment) the latest thing people buzz about. NFLX has been around a while, and I watched the DEIsney earnings call two quarters ago, and compared it to NFLX's call a few days later. Compared to vague, blue sky bullshitting Disney, those Netflix fuckers were focused, raging capitalists intent on making money. They knew their shit cold. So, I bought those shares for fun.
Fast forward to yesterday. NFLX earnings call was decent, but they said they were going to stop reporting subscribers numbers and average revenue per subscriber, because that metric is misleading, since the price points are different in each country. Logical to me.
The market freaked out over it, and NFLX dropped like 40 points (LOL).
Now I am back to even.
People are sheep.

REPUBLICANS TORPEDOED a tough, comprehensive bill that would have brought serious and much-needed reform to our southern border...Republicans...decided they could not win the 2024 election if the border was not visibly chaotic....Trump, offers one central explanation for the source of Americans’ problems: immigrants.
Without immigrants streaming into the country, Republicans would be forced to deal with the complicated reality of why Americans feel more alone and unhappy than ever before. It turns out impoverished people making a desperate play for a better life are not the true source of our angst, so even if the border were brought under control, our spiritual crisis would have remained.
It falls to us to rebuild a sense of obligation to each other—a new American solidarity. We need to build concrete policies that prevent excesses and cruelties now permitted in the name of profit. we need to rebuild a culture that prioritizes the common good—the idea we owe more to each other than just whatever the market will allow us to get away with.

The Morning Report — 4/19/24
Israeli missiles hit at least one site in Iran, ABC News reported, citing US officials, and Iranian state media alerted citizens to explosions heard in the central part of the Islamic republic. The attack comes after Iran rained down more than 300 drones and missiles toward the Jewish nation last Saturday — though nearly all were intercepted by Israel and its allies. Israel’s early morning retaliatory strike, however, appeared to be “limited,” a military source told Fox News. Israeli officials notified the US on Thursday that it had planned to strike Iran within 24 to 48 hours, according to Bloomberg News. The Biden [junta] “didn’t endorse” Israel’s response, a US official told CNN.T he city of Isfahan – home of Iran’s Natanz nuclear research facility and a major air base – appears to have been Israel’s primary target. A scroll alerting viewers to a “loud noise” near Isfahan was displayed on Iranian state television, but provided no other information, according to the Associated Press. State television claimed that all nuclear sites in the region were “fully safe.” Hossein Dalirian, a spokesman for Iran’s civilian space program, claimed that the explosions were the results of three quadcopter drones that had been shot down, dismissing the threat Israel’s apparent retaliation posed to Iran. Iran’s air defense systems were activated in several provinces after the explosions first rang out, state news outlet IRNA reported, according to CNN. . . . . . “Hearing [Supreme Leader of Iran Ali Khamenei] is having a blast today on his birthday,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) wrote on X, shortly after reports of the Israeli strike began to emerge. Khamenei, 84, was indeed born on April 19.Maybe we can dress up a goat to resemble Marylin Monroe, replete with full burqa-witz, and get it to bleat "Happy Birthday" in a sultry manner. Or we can deliver Rashida Tlaib on a silver platter with an apple in her mouth. Same difference. In all seriousness, the world has been destabilized, not only in the Middle East, but almost everywhere on the map as a result of the head-up-the-ass Ivy League/Kennedy School/Johns Hopkins-fueled delusions of the Foggy Bottom elites whose worldview is completely out of phase with reality and just plain old Jew-hatred that's also part and parcel of that worldview. As I implied, if elections indeed have consequences, take a good look around and consider the consequences of stolen elections. The only thing that irks me from that report is that Israel supposedly informed the White House (boy, you talk about the term "Occupied Territories") that it was going to retaliate, and if that is true, likely the extent/nature of the retaliation. I imagine this was some sort of face-saving diplomatic gesture but the real-politik of who is a friend and enemy kind of blows this out of the water. In any case, on the broader diplomatic front of this brewing war, the Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants banana-in-the-tailpipe junta might have totally screwed itself – and that means some good news for a change for Israel and all of us.
The United States used its veto on Thursday at the United Nations (UN) Security Council to block a Palestinian state from being declared unilaterally. American policy has held for decades that a Palestinian state should emerge after negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Still, the Biden administration played coy until the last hours before the UN Security Council vote, with the White House dodging questions about a potential veto until the State Department announced the U.S. position earlier on Thursday. . . . . . The U.S. tried to portray a Palestinian state as something that “Hamas and its Iranian backers” would oppose, though Hamas denounced the U.S. veto. Israel welcomed the veto. The Israeli government had argued against Palestinian statehood, either at the UN or outside of it, arguing that recognizing a Palestinian state in the present context would reward Hamas for terror.This comes a couple of weeks after the US stabbed Israel in the heart by not vetoing another General Assembly vote which paved the way for "Palestinian" statehood. There's either no one at the helm or Commodore Decker has sealed himself on the Enterprise bridge and is intent on ramming us down the throat of the planet killer; that cheapo model on strings that resembles a Biden ice cream cone on end. At least, to paraphrase Gil Scot Heron, they might have "lost Detroit." But for sure, they've lost Dearborn and possibly Minneapolis. Will they have regained some (most, all) of the self-gassing idiot Jews who had initially distanced themselves in the wake of 10/7 to come back and open their checkbooks for the DNC? TBD. So, let's take a quick gander at the state of play on the RISK board: IRAN – is going to have to respond to this, and with the abject failure of its mass aerial assault last weekend, I would imagine there will be some sort of mass combined ground and artillery attack from Hezbollah coming from Lebanon. ISRAEL – no doubt sees this and perhaps is preparing some sort of preemptive strike on Iranian assets up north to blunt that attack, or whatever command and control assets Iran has up there and possibly in Iran itself. Combined ops of Mossad and Sayeret Matkal, the IDF's equivalent of the SEALs/Delta Force. The Biden-Junta-controlled USA – in order to salvage the Muslim-Marxist voting base might have to somehow intervene militarily or otherwise assist Iran to defend itself if they catch wind of what Israel is going to do. Oh boy! Talk about getting hair mussed. In any case, this may be anecdotal but remember that there is a lot of pent up hatred of the mullahs in Iran itself:
The Iranian police reportedly arrested Iranian national volleyball team player Mobina Rostami for condemning the Iranian attack on Israel:Pray for her. Pray for all the truly innocent Iranian people who think like her. Pray for Israel, Judeo-Christian civilization as well as for our personnel abandoned in Ni*er. And Joey should only choke on a big fat slice of yellow cake. How fucked is this world with Obama or whoever pulling his strings?Iranian national volleyball team player Mobina Rostami posted on her Instagram account: “As an Iranian, I am truly ashamed of the authorities’ attack on Israel, but you need to know that the people in Iran love Israel and hate the Islamic Republic.” She was reportedly arrested shortly afterwards. One of the comments on her post came from an account associated with Iranian security forces, stating: “We will shove you in a bag.” “Only God knows what fate awaits her,” her friends posted on social media.No one knows where she is right now.
BIDEN: "I made it clear to the Israelis — don't move on Haifa!" . . . Biden has tried to pressure Israel not to enter Rafah, a city in Gaza on the Egyptian border that is thought to be the location of the last Hamas battalions, and the remaining Israeli hostages. Haifa is considered Israel’s third city, after Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. It features a large port in a natural harbor. It is also seen as an example of coexistence between Arabs and Jews, and is a headquarters for the Baha’i faith.My latest essay is up at Taki's Magazine. Please read and comment. Have a good weekend. And as Buck Turgidson said to Suge (not Knight) "Don't forget to say your prayers!"

Tchiani already told Victoria Nuland (quite literally) that she's too fat, that her regime in Niamey had run its course, that her puppet Bazoum was not going to be released under any circumstances, and that US financial and military assistance was no longer required in Niger.
His current assessment that the DC regime is "unserious and predatory" is correct - and, given that it both trained him and elevated him to flag rank in the first place, he'd be in a position to know it. His current demand for us to vacate is his right, since our status-of-forces agreement expired last month.
Brandon's handlers are deliberately putting these troops in harm's way, in hopes that Tchiani will get trigger happy and provide them with a pretext to overthrow his government, as revenge for him insulting their corpulent, toadlike warlord Nuland.
Our government is truly disgusting.

The U.S. has a military presence in several African countries.
In Niger, the U.S. has had two military bases, called Air Base 101 and Air Base 201, and first started drone operations in 2013.
While Niger is one of the poorest countries in the world, its geographic location and natural resources have increased its importance to global powers. Specifically, Niger’s location gives the U.S. ability to engage in counterterrorism throughout much of West Africa.

The real question is what happens afterwards: do they immediately haul him off to jail? Allow secret service in jail with him?

Biden's second term has plans to tax 'unrealized gains'. So if you hold a stock and it increases in value, you get taxed. If your home goes up in value, it gets taxed. Even if you sell neither.

Two things here, I think.
First, with the possible exception of Japan (and even that is questionable), there is no such thing as a nation state with a "civilian space program." Private outfits like SpaceX, sure - but even *that* is questionable given the number of military and spy satellites they launch for the US government. A nation state does not waste money on a space program without an ulterior motive - like cover for developing ballistic missiles or delivering intelligence or weapons payloads to orbit. That there are tons of civilian benefits is somewhat beside the point. None of it happens without significant strategic state interest. Bragging rights just aren't worth it.
Second, "Iran’s air defense systems were activated ... after the explosions first rang out" is a damning statement.

At least they have come forward and provided their definition of the word "democracy" - and that is: "one-party, totalitarian rule."
So when Pelosi, Schumer or some other Marxist sputters something about "our precious democracy" understand that they are referring to their own grip on total control of the police state.

Yes, but the wider problem is a lot deeper. The world order is cracking up in real time. The American empire is finished. We're tapped out but even if we weren't, it's now too inconsistent, the goals too misaligned with national interest and we have a competence crisis at all levels.
The way I think of this is that we are in the opening stages of a vast, world-shaking rejiggering. The world, for all intents and purposes, ended in 2020 and we're in the opening stages of the aftermath. The deed is done. The world as we knew it no longer exists, and figuring out what the hell that means is extremely disruptive and dangerous.
Watching not only the fall of an empire, but the end of the world (they often but not always coincide) unfold in real time is quite interesting. "Chinese Curse" kind of interesting.

I recently learned that Nixon had workable plans drawn up to make the US power grid 100% nuclear by 1980. That would’ve greatly blunted Middle Eastern influence on our energy supply and kneecapped the global warming crowd before they got started.
Unfortunately he created the NRC to oversee it and they staffed up with commies and immediately scuttled the plan.

Sincere question about this.
What difference does it make? If the UNSC recognizes a state or doesn't, what changes? The UN can say it's a state, but that doesn't mean that Israel or her Arab neighbors will, and they have the greatest interest. Does it unlock anything meaningful? Does it change the basis or quantity of aid, or enable "legitimate" weapons transfers or result in some kind of enforceable changes to treaties or anything like that?
In other words, does this actually *matter* in any way, or is it yet more UN nonsense that has no bearing on anything, whichever way it goes?

That would be my guess, but the wildcard there is that Hezbollah might not want to. Hezbollah is both busy and apparently fairly happy fighting its civil war in Lebanon. Engaging Israel outright would be high-risk, because if they lose on that front (not a guarantee, but it's where I'd put my money), they could lose Lebanon. It's likely an existential question for Hezbollah.

I strongly suspect that Israel is not sharing much real intelligence with the US at this point. Probably a lot of information sharing and most of it is legitimate and real, but I'd bet that they're not sharing anything about strategic direction or operational plans.

Clearly, the US is experiencing Mass Formation Psychosis, or in terms of Mimetic Theory, Mimetic Crisis. In a Mimetic Crisis, you have this large scale vicious circle where those in the Double Bind will compete to out-do the other (and there are a lot of others) where you have an irrational and obsessive focus on a single target. This is the scapegoat. The catharsis is to kill the scapegoat (which isn't really a scapegoat, but I didn't come up with the theory).
The problem isn't them humiliating, bankrupting and killing Trump - which they most certainly will do, its that the crisis itself is left untreated and they will quickly seek another focus, which will larger and even more ambitious - e.g. The Christian Church.

Originally, not my kind of movie, but I've seen it several times now. (the lovely and discerning Mrs naturalfake's favorite, yo!)-
and have come to admire and enjoy it. Or, at least, significant parts of it. It's pure storytelling and characterizations are excellent.
I also think the handwringing over racism is way overblown in these stupid times. That era is in the far past and dead and never coming back. So-
I tend to look at the slavery as something that was of the time. Do I get all angry when I watch a show like "Rome" with its Germanic slaves? Do I howl at the indignity done my ancestors?
No. I do not. I realize things are a bit more complex than that, however-

On a drive recently I heard someone discussing King Kong and how it was a theatrical masterpiece in large part because the director didn't want a man in a gorilla suit, and how the proportions of Kong kept changing throughout the film.
They discussed the enormous torso and hand that was made but IIRC they weren't sure if they'd use it or be able to finish the film since it was in the middle of such hard economic times.
The conversation was about a recent book IIRC, and it sounded really interesting. I need to re-watch King Kong soon.

100% is folly because nukes are base load (constant supply) not peaker plants, and simple observation of demand curves over time would reinforce the idea of oversupply, unless the excess was used for desalination, pumping or some other activity that can be intermittent. (like Bitcoin generation)
Furthermore, a pure nuclear, or any other fuel system is incompatible with competing power auctions which are held every few minutes in most RTOs. With today's MBAs who don't know how to increase productivity but only can "cut costs" (mostly through deferred maintenance and short-cuts), this only means a degrade ability to generate power with no upgrades or new supplies being built due to the non-competitiveness of a single fuel energy source.

Hell, pot is doing damage, too. Two kids on my block - both were bright young boys - got into heavy pot-smoking in their teen, both then had schizophrenic breakdowns. Futures gone, now a burden to their parents who will spend the rest of their lives managing them.
Obviously this doesn't happen to every person who uses pot, but it is bad for kids' developing brains in general, and it is associated with mental illness (people with disposition for/issues of schizophrenia or whatever in their family), that is may trigger it.

“They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane.”

They begged Netanyahu not to. All they do is beg. (Then send money and weapons.) And the ethnic cleansing of Palestine grinds on.
Israel has not "ethnically cleansed" the 20% of its citizens who are Arabs. But, it is fighting a war against the Iranian backed terrorists who have and still are attacking Israel.
Ethnic cleansing is the polite term. Most call it genocide. And killing over 13,000 children is not self defense. This is now what Israel will be famous for. Thirteen thousand dead children. Killed for being Palestinian.
Polite? A more accurate word would be "biased." The Hamas war headquarters are in underground tunnels and bunkers beneath (and sometimes inside) civilian sites. It is intentional on the part of Hamas in order to protect themselves at the expense of their own civilians.
people concerned about civilians, direct anger at the Hamas cowards who hide behind civilians to save their own murderous hides.

They do. It's called "the academic milieu."
Academic language is an ecclesiastical language derived from mid-century postmodern philosophy. Once you learn the language, you just ... speak it. If you keep running in those circles, you'll remain abreast of the new vocabulary through osmosis and it's easy to do because you already know the new language's rules. We have new words all the time in the main language, too and it's effortless to pick up on them in you run the circles where they appear.
Same thing with "corporatespeak," which is another ecclesiastical language.

Yeah, I knew a guy who smoked pot all the time in HS. He ended up high as a kite one night, lost control of his brand new car, and plowed head on into a car in the other lane.

The European Jews that moved back home brought money, skills, and European technology which then led to a booming economy in what had been a backwater (we have descriptions of what it was like from various Christians that traveled there in the 1800s).
Arafat, for example, was Egyptian.

Always amazes me that when it comes to pot, some people can never accept that for some percentage of the users it has a harmful affect.
We can all see that while many people drink alcohol, some become alcoholics and it destroys their body (slowly). With smoking, we accept that it causes harm to the lungs, and for some, can lead to cancer, etc.. A lot of people like sweets, but for some who overindulge, it can lead to serious weight gain, diabetes.
But no, because some guys you knew smoked some pot and went on to be successful, discussing how it can and is harmful to kids is a joke. Whatever, duuuude.

Yes just like alcohol. And coffee. And sugar. And pretty much anything on the planet.
THAT is the point. There will always be the exceptions to the rule. Most people can smoke a joins now and then with no adverse effects. Just like most people can drink a couple of beers on a Friday night with no adverse effects.
Yet weed is treated as if anyone who touches it once turns into a vegetable or something. Which is absurd.
And I haven’t smoked in 15 years. It was something I did in my younger days. And I find it hilarious how some people think of weed as if we’re back in 1955 black and white PSA movies about it.

>Peoples Dispatch, Why has Niger declared US military presence in its territory illegal?
Only months after forcing its former colonizer France to withdraw its troops, Niger, West Africa’s largest country, has said the presence of US troops is illegal. This could be a major blow to the US military’s power-projection capacity in the region, March 19, 2024 by Pavan Kulkarni
In begins, "Niger declared the US military deployment in its territory “illegal” on Saturday, March 16, after a US delegation allegedly threatened “retaliation” against the largest country in West Africa for its ties with Russia and Iran."
And, "...Like in neighboring Mali and Burkina Faso, the presence of Western troops in Niger for nearly a decade only saw an increase in the spread of violence by Islamist insurgencies they were ostensibly deployed to fight, after spawning them across the Sahel by destroying Libya in 2011."

Israel War
No details, but Israel has launched strikes against targets in Iran and its proxy states.
I think this is a powerful indicator of the change in the mindset of the Israeli people. The entire world wanted them to be passive in the face of an Iranian attack on their homeland. Israel said: "No." Simultaneous Israeli strikes on Iran, Iraq and Syria - reports Iranian outlets are reporting no damage, and in fact at least one is claiming that the attacks came from within the country. Why that is better is a question that should. Be asked of the mad Mullahs. What happens next? An expansion of the simmering war? As Diogenes pointed out yesterday, it's a long supply line between Iran and Israel, and Iranian forces would be vulnerable the entire way. My guess is an increase in Hezbollah activity and a staunch Iranian denial of any damage. But the stage is set for significant changes. Hopefully it will be regime change in Iran, with the pressure from within. The strike is undoubtedly a message to the Mullahs that Israel can hit them wherever they are. It seems to be a limited strike, which suggests that it was political rather than military.Comments

Sending a message the other world kibitzers can accept as well as warning the Mad Mullahs that they are completely vulnerable isn't a bad thing.
The actual damage reports are suspect as the MMs are not going to admit they spent a bundle and got a few hits and Israel spent some and did damage.
A *proportional* response sucks in war; but, it looks like Israel threaded a very small needle.

Also, that their personal income streams have nothing to do with the corporate income stream.

there were a lot of off-putting things about the video. He wore his sunglasses the entire time, the only person that seemed interested in him being there was a black guy that I assume was a politician running for re-election, and there was NO enthusiasm by anyone.
The worst was him shuffling in and he saw a little girl and stopped so quickly that it made his shoes squeak on the floor. It's bizarre.

Maybe they expected a friendlier crowd closer to Philly. I'm not sure it wasn't the same day. But there was basically no one in the Wawa which is very strange. They're quick in, quick out with usually 20 or 30 people inside paying for gas, picking junk food off the shelves, ordering sandwiches, waiting to check out. A lot of hustle and bustle. This one was like a funeral home with milkshakes.

There were extraordinary 'guests/Israeli spokespersons' on & at one point while discussing Israeli response, an Israeli gentleman changed direction briefly and said, seemingly with great sincerely (paraphrased), 'This is not against the Iranian people. We understand and we are with you.'
Then I recalled yesterday, in earlier and separate reports, that Iranian police had once again intensified a hijab crackdown on women. (I believe that true.) Also read in Iranwire, 04/18/23, 'Amid Iran's Crackdown on Women, Honor Killings Rise'
The article began, "While the Islamic Republic transforms the streets into violent battlegrounds for women to enforce mandatory Hijab, another trend emerges – a rise in "honor killings."
So, yes, an extraordinary & brilliant public appeal to the women, to the people of Iran while notably, the Jewish nation's strike came on the day Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, marked his 85th birthday.

Daily Tech News 19 April 2024
Top Story
- Micron is receiving $6 billion under the CHIPS Act to build $100 billion in memory fabs in New York state. (Tom's Hardware)
Micron is at least an American company.
Tech News
- Grok keeps making up news stories. (Ars Technica)
So does the entire mainstream media - and the tech media including Ars Technica - but nobody mentions that.
That said, they're not wrong. I've pointed this out on Twitter myself. In one case it decided six victims in a murder spree weren't enough and added another nine.
- Testing Intel's Core i5-14400 low-mid-range CPU. (Tom's Hardware)
Personally I'd spend the extra few dollars to move up to the 14500 - which has four extra E cores - but for many people it won't make any difference and you might as well save the money.
It's, well, it's fine. And it runs fine with cheaper DDR4 memory, not just with DDR5. And when I say fine, I mean spectacularly fast compared to anything even a few years old no matter how expensive.
If you're aiming at gaming performance (and don't already have an Intel motherboard) it's worth paying another $20 for AMD's Ryzen 5700X3D. It also uses cheaper DDR4 RAM and the performance boost is around 30%.
- What would happen if a USB cable company built a NAS? (Kickstarter)
In the case of the UGREEN NASync, the answer is... It's really good.
The software (a fork of Debian) is still in development, but if you just want your NAS to be a NAS, it just works.
You can install your own operating system, but it's currently not easy. And you might need one of the higher end models that have a separate - removable - SSD for the operating system.

The ONT Is Coming! The ONT Is Coming!
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
This Is Bizarre
This may be the strangest story I've read in a while. 21-year-old student from Pune and the curious case of her changing hands (right click, inspect, settings, disable javascript, refresh to bypass paywall)Explaining the shift, Pune-based physiotherapist Ketaki Doke, who has been working with Shreya, says behind this could be the muscle reconditioning itself to the new host. “The nerve begins to send signals, it is called reinnervation, and the muscles function according to body needs. A man will have muscle function different from a woman. The muscles in her hand may have started adapting to a female body,” says Doke, adding, “It was still not anticipated that her hands will transform so much.” In the last 3-4 months, Shreya’s mother Suma noticed that her fingers were becoming leaner, slightly longer. “I see her hand every day. The fingers have become like a woman’s, the wrist is smaller. These are remarkable changes,” she says. Iyer, from Amrita Institute, says they never anticipated such changes. “This is our first case of male-to-female hand transplant. We can only guess that female hormones have led to the change but assessing the exact cause is difficult,” he says.
So the transplanted hands were beefier and more muscular, because the donor was male, and also had much darker skin. Over time, the skin tone lightened to match her natural color, and the hands themselves became more slender and feminine. That's just amazing.
Journalism By Bot
The best restaurant for Tex-Mex in Tyler, according to diners—plus, see the runners-up The article is crap – 2 of the 12 restaurants are fast food and there's no mention of places that are actually good like El Norteno, Jalpita's or Ruby's, but if you read between the lines it becomes apparent what they did. They wrote an intro paragraph and then had a bot collect the 12 highest rated places in the Tex Mex category on Yelp. Boom! Instant content. Wish I could figure out how to automate the ONT like that.
Meet The Press
Tucker Carlson’s Turn
So what the hell happened to Tucker Carlson? The skepticism that served him well in the Trump years when much of the fourth estate behaved like an opposition political party has led him all the way around the horseshoe. His opposition to the people he hates—liberals and neocons—has turned him into Noam Chomsky in a bow tie.I'm of two minds here. Yes, Tucker can get out on the fringes sometimes. Some of his recent blatherings about how wonderful the Potempkin village the Russians showed him were just embarrassing. But the main beef the author of this piece seems to have with Tucker is that he has interviewed people he doesn't like. That should be the job of journalists. Interviewing Putin gives us a chance to see the man and hear what he has to say. That's information, and the job of the news should be to inform. Also, since in the article the author openly poo-poos the idea that the FBI influenced the Jan 6 demonstrators in any way or that the 2020 election was anything other than squeaky clean, I don't think he has much room to talk about people not being grounded in reality.
Just The Tax, Ma'am Here are the massive tax increases coming your way in a second Biden term
Biden’s written plan calls for a small business tax hike, a corporate tax hike, a capital gains and dividends tax hike, income tax hikes, energy tax hikes and even a second Death Tax on top of the first one.And to think our founders rebelled and founded this country in protest over a 2% tax on tea. How low we have fallen.
Biden would increase the corporate income tax from today’s 21% to 28%. That’s a higher tax rate than communist China and France and the U.K., each at 25%. Now add the average state corporate income tax at 4% and the average combined Biden rate would be 32%. That would be the second-highest corporate income tax in the developed world. Just below Colombia. Biden promises to impose a tax on "unrealized gains." If your land or stock account has increased in value in the last year you would pay taxes on the unrealized gain. You have not sold the property; you do not have the income. It isn’t "real." Yet you will be taxed as if you had made the sale and received the income.

America Is Now in the Business of Losing Wars
Obviously, America ought not involve itself in foreign conflicts in which we are unwilling to stay the course. American interests dictate pragmatism. But we've gone far beyond that. Now we're telling our allies that they can't win victories in conflicts in which they are willing to stay the course and in which they can win. We will actively step in to prevent victory. And so our enemies grow stronger. They have no such Hamlet-like moral qualms. They push where there is mush. Should Israel accede to America's request to leave Hamas in place in Rafah, Hezbollah will challenge Israel in the north; Iranian proxies will challenge Israel in the West Bank; Iran will up the ante in Yemen and the Red Sea. Israel and Saudi Arabia will be forced to search for new allies and new weapons. The world will significantly become more dangerous. It turns out that the alternative to an America confident in its own moral role -- and an America willing to stand with its allies -- is a world of chaos. We are now living in that world. And things will get much, much worse before the end of this era of moral vacillation and cowardice in the face of evil.
There's only one way to win a war and achieve a lasting peace. You have to kill the enemy, and keep killing them until they have had enough and say “No more”. Then and only then can you start defining a post-war world. If the enemy doesn't believe that they have been defeated, all you do is give them a chance to rearm and regroup, and sooner or later start fighting again. Not only is this endlessly bloody, it is ultimately immoral and in the long run far costlier.

For many Gen Z students, skipping college for a trade may be their best bet
The median pay for new construction hires was $48,089 last year, compared to $39,520 for new hires in professional services. According to payroll-services provider ADP, pay for new hires in construction increased 5.1% last year, nearly double the increase for professional services. Trade jobs are also less subject to replacement by AI and other technologies. Some tech exec might make good money before student loan payments, but he’ll pay some kid a fortune to unclog his toilet. If there’s a dummy in that scenario, it ain’t the kid.We were extremely pleased when Little said he wanted to go into the trades. He's finishing his first year in the welding program at the local junior college, and doing quite well. All this and no student loans to worry about.

Seriously, if you're Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc etc, how do you even pay a tax like that? And 90% of those dorks are on the Demofascist side.
Biden wants the "unrealized gains" to be taxed like any other long-term capital gains. So at 20% for the guys in their tax bracket.
As an example, Bezos owns 55M shares of Amazon. It appreciated about $80 per share over the last 12 months, from about $100 to about $180.
If he has to pay 20% of that gain to the government, he has to come up with $880,000,000 in cash. Just for his Amazon stock, never mind anything else he owns.
So everyone in the country has to liquidate 20% of their holdings every year to come up with the cash to pay their taxes. That certainly won't crash the stock market.
Bezos is going to have Biden assassinated if he tries this. He might do it personally.

Democrats currently believe in the related concepts of Modern Monetary Theory and that deficits just don't matter.
However, if deficits don't matter, then there is no reason for taxes and the millions of man-hours wasted every year for businesses to comply with the tax accounting rules.

Every year there is a re-enactment of the battle at the Lexington and Concord. Those of us who grew up around the area used to visit back when we did things like history and school field trips.
One of the defining parts of those fights and a big reason the vastly outnumbered and out trained citizens were able to beat back the British is because they used what were essentially guerrilla tactics. Hiding in the woods and shooting at the British who were marching in formation in their red coats.
Pissed the Brits off but that was a big talk to the hand moment.

Eli Lake is in love with both foreign tyrants (Zelenskyy) but also domestic tyrants (FBI, Biden Junta, the MIC) Lake is also needing to explain why Speaker Johnson was "Border First" and after a couple sessions with the IC, is now "What Border? The Ukrainian Border? Sure! What debt? Who The Fuck is America and Why Should America Have a Recognizable Border?"
The two possible explanations are Johnson has always been a snake just waiting for his opportunity to strike, or as MTG suggests, the IC showed pictures of child pr0n on Johnson's personal computer.

The Colonials learned to fight like Indians. Add to that The Kentucky Long Rifle, with actual rifling in the barrel, for accurate shots. At one point, the British had called a parlay because the Rebels were shooting their officers with alarming frequency. The British thought that terribly unfair and wanted their officers to face random death on the battlefield like the average soldier and not specifically targeted. No agreement came from the parlay.

The NSU/Mazda is a "rotary" engine. But there is another rotary, too -- WWI Rhone airplane engines are the oddest thing ever.
Propeller is attached to the block; crank and pistons are stationary, part of the plane. The whole mass of the motor rotates. They didn't even try to throttle them. On, or off.
When there were lots of surplus radials around, they were used for some stationary power applications. You can see them at antique tractor meets. They're better in free air, or driving a fan -- but the big drawback is how much oil they fling, and the shorter TBOH due to the big thermal differences. Loose as a goose cold, and the rings snug up as the engine heats up.

I've heard it's been redone back into a single mansion. But all the mansions in Newport have full time staff to keep them up. They have to because of the North Atlantic and just the immense size of the place. It's like owning a stone hotel with acres of land on the ocean because that's what it is.
I spent most of my life fishing in the ocean right in front of the place. It's spectacular. Leno is originally from the Boston area, I've never met him but locals who have say he's a really nice guy.
A bit about the place.

That is what I mean.

So when he is in awe of the utter corruption and evil of the IC, we need to know its real.

Remember when Biden bragged about having the most comprehensive voter fraud schemes in place? When he hinted that Putin should invade Ukraine and when Iran should attack Israel directly? Those were covered up as slips, but they also were foreshadowing. When Biden bragged about knowing about the location of the Top Secret Presidential Bunker by telling everyone where it was?
When Biden talked about Haifa, that was foreshadowing of a false flag to be staged in Haifa.

Somebody has to pay. So who needs Mr. and Mrs. Middle Class? Just take everything from them. Their, businesses, their homes, their savings.

52 weeks in a year, and the total is 36.400. Of course if you take a second job and are working 45-50 hours a week then you are screwed

aaakchually, MMT requires taxes to "destroy" wealth so that inflation is controlled.
an alternate plan, of course, is to create either rationing or shortages (or both) so there is nothing to do with the extra money other than put it in the bank or invest it. Under draconian taxation then they go where no taxes are taken, like in state bonds or the equivalent of "Liberty bonds" or Treasuries.
the fact that this collapsed the USSR through massive discontent, and then through hyper inflation when Gorbachev tried to open the soviet economy is llost on these idiots without history before the first gulf war.

I do the Potato Exercise
Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side.
With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.Each day you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags.Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I'm at this level.)After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each bag.

For $150, they will send 3 people to knock on the victim's door, and when the victim opens up, they sing, in perfect harmony, "gee, ___ ___, you sure are a stunned c***". And then slowly walk away.

Mechanic-ing is a great trade. The big drawback is that nearly all of your clients come to you with a problem, and want to unload on you. And a subset of those are convinced you want to defraud them.
I would like to suggest auto upholstery. All cars have seats, and nearly all, if kept long enough, will need seat repairs. And the customers see that, and know that, so it's not such a hard sell. And some of your customers will be looking for show-quality custom interiors, and will pay the big bucks it takes to get them.

A retired Army chief warrant officer who has significant experience in the Army's watercraft community also told Military.com in an interview Wednesday that "if those boats don't have multiple major mechanical failures -- I mean 'dead in the water' mechanical failures -- I will be shocked."
"They're horrendously maintained. I've got videos of these things falling apart," the retired officer added.

I have a business degree. I think one of the biggest fallacies and one of the reasons we have an imbalance in our workforce is because we have too many business majors and not enough of skilled craftsmen.
I took a year off from college after my sophomore year and worked and then worked 30 hours my last 2 years. Biggest lesson I learned is that learning how to run a business without knowing how a business really runs is stupid.
By all means encourage him to take a couple accounting and other relevant courses but learning a trade in an industry he loves is far more important. Learning how to run a business is easier than learning what make a business.

There's little doubt that guerrilla actions were effective against the Redcoats, but contrary to the view that even the NPS was regurgitating years ago, all the major battles of the American Revolution featured the eighteenth-century European model of firing by ranks, then files, with the aim of creating a wall of death at the enemy, who was attempting to do the same.
In fact, it was the difficulty of mastering these methods of making war that put America at a significant disadvantage early in the Revolutionary War. That's one of the reasons why Baron von Steuben (who was certainly not a baron and likely never held a rank above that of a NCO) was so valuable to the Continental Army - he was able to get the principles of European drill across to the troops.

I just enjoyed a visit with my USCG ex neighbor, who was in town on a short leave. He'll be separating from the service, retiring, having put in his twenty.
His ship has been "pinned" in Baltimore Harbor since the bridge collapse, as it was in for repairs at the time.
The ship? Is Sixty Five Years old. I suspect most of her "structural integrity" consists of layers of paint and rust.
Historical Fact. The Queen Mary (the one docked at Long Beach). One of her funnels (smokestacks) is a modern reproduction, fabricated and welded-in, on site.
Her original stack Really Was standing ONLY because of the multiple layers of paint and rust. A paper thin layer of steel at the core, was all that remained.

Before Copernicus went to Rome to develop and posthumously release his theory on planetary motion, he was asked by his archbishop why all the good Polish pennies were going out of circulation, while all the German pennies that were debased with lead were in circulation everywhere in Poland.
He determined it was because everyone knew the pure pennies had more value than the debased ones, and since the face value was what was counted, everyone spent those and kept the Polish pennies in a sock under the mattress.
I am not sure what they did with this information, I suspect the Polish mints started debasing their pennies to match the german ones.
However, that is Gresham's law in a nutshell.
Tucker did what no other western journalist wanted to do, and everyone is dumping on him or not doing enough. Tucker stated ahead of time he was not doing it to get that scorching interview, but to get AN interview, to give a point of view that has not been heard except as being described as an aberrant and absolute lie.

By 1777 onwards, there was more or less a working doctrine of war for the Continental Army (and the varied State militias that sometimes fought in concert with them) that differed little from that dominated battlefields in Europe and would continue to do so into the early decades of the nineteenth century.
Individual commanders showed a learning curve, so that, for example at the Battle of Cowpens, Daniel Morgan positioned state militia troops, who had a reputation for retreating before British fire, in a central position, keeping selected sharp-shooters and veteran Continental troops more to the flank and rear.
The Royal Army also knew the tendency of militia to retreat and panic, and when they saw the first signs of just that, they advanced rapidly ... into a double envelopement.

Obviously other factors played into American victory, not least the direct support of the French and the indirect efforts by the Dutch and the Spanish, and that's only the beginning of accounting for one of the most significant triumphs in world history. Yes, there were Americans who employed guerrilla tactics, snipers as well as skirmishers had their place, but it all comes down to the fact that the U.S. soldier could and did match his Royal Army counterpart on his own terms, the lethal, close-range, coordinated volleys by rank and file.

That they did, and quite well too! There's been some surprising accuracy in films about eighteenth century warfare over the last few decades. One day, maybe some director will feature the staff that NCOs carried in European forces up to the 1730s-1740s that were long enough that they could press almost an entire rank of troops forward, to ensure that they maintained formation and didn't break and run.
It would be great as well to see the real "fog of war" that gunpowder weapons created, where commanders had to take suicidally forward positions to be able to direct their forces. Washington was especially known for this, and the fact that he had horses shot out from under him and his uniform riddled with bullets but never suffered a scratch is one of the miracles of all time.

One article got me to thinking. Knowing what we know, you tend to laugh and ask "how could they have been so dumb" and not see what was right before their faces. Well, it pointed it, "seeing what is before your face" depends on Newton, and other things since. They didn't exist then.

What the heck is a transmasculine?
NASA has a team that will update everything for the lunatic’s “current genders, names and pronouns” (which may or may not change on a biweekly basis) and then deploy a “workplace gender transition plan” that is only a little less complicated than the original moon landings.
“When I first came out, I did not come out as nonbinary at work. I wasn’t sure that people would accept that, so I came out as transmasculine and am only recently being completely authentic about it, like, ‘Actually, I’m nonbinary, and my pronouns are they/them,’” Mars “research scientist” Silas J. Ralston explains in a special NASA feature.

Lexington was a face-off between colonial militia led by a veteran of the French and Indian War against the marching column of Redcoats moving from Boston to Concord. By all accounts, the Minutemen were arrayed in something close to the rank and file formation that was the norm of the day, and the larger Royal Army force broke their column and formed ranks. (The intent of the Minutemen is unclear - they may have intended their formation as a demonstration of resolve, or as a way to buy time for Concord to secure their armament, or both.) Then that mysterious shot rang out, and the Brits opened fire. There were a few return shots from the Minutemen, but they dispersed as the British moved forward with bayonets.
Concord was a different matter. The forces there had time to prepare, and what ensued was a combination of urban warfare and conventional eighteenth century tactics that flung the defeated British into a hurried retreat. They were sniped at and attacked on the way back to Boston, where guerrilla tactics did come into display, but the battle had effectively ended by then.

This is where any comparison to the Vietnam War ends. Yes, the VC were guerrillas, but they were well-supplied and supported. Our army, not so much, as Washington's correspondence attests.

Then you understand that the skirmish at Lexington and the battle that developed so poorly for the British at Concord (a vicious struggle in which Redcoats, in torching an outstructure that had once held weapons, formed bucket brigades to put out those houses that caught fire as an indirect result of their action) began and concluded in conventional (per 18th century military doctrine) forms of combat.
The tactics of irregular warfare make their appearance on the doomed British retreat back to Boston, and these harrying guerrilla tactics put the fleeing Redcoats into disarray, ultimately requiring another British force to rush out of Boston to secure their flanks and retreat into the city right before the militia forces sealed them inside. Had the irregulars (guerrillas) organized their attacks more efficiently, they could have greatly reduced the strength of the Lobsterbacks, maybe even fixing them in place where they could have been swarmed and several of them taken (permanently) out of service. As it was, though, the Royal Army marched double-quick base to their secured base, and the guerrillas only sped them up.

Dig hard enough, and there's a video of a chopped, H-D style motorcycle, with a small-enough, 7 cyl, Russian radial engine facing "face forward" into the wind, driving a transmission and BMW shaft final drive to the rear wheel.
As I posted earlier, the Sherman Tank was powered by a Radial Aircraft derived engine.
There's no reason the C-10 won't run, other than completion. And, every Deuce n' a Half 6x6, and most Cement Mixers, have upward facing differentials, feeding from a bevel gear, from the driveshaft, above.
The C-10 can be engineered to completion. One poster mentioned cooling, and that'll be the biggest challenge to success.

Cliff-Racing Cafe
Newark
by daisukephotography
This is why you stake down your tent. Magical shenanigans exposed. Joe Biden meeting with his brothers. McDonald's in Italy is a very different experience. Peek-a-boo parrot. Mountain village in Madeira. Fun but maybe just a touch dangerous. Update your records: I'm not a Vespa Man any longer.I've found a scooter that is 50% gayer. Quick track changing. Huzzah! The sport of the future combines two terrible things, mini-bikes and soccer, into one single pastime that we can all ignore with 50% of the effort needed to ignore both individually. Gojira! Cycling at the very edge of a high cliff. Supposedly, this guy is mimicking each sound that's presented to him. But what I'm most interested in is his Hype Squad going crazy after every show of mimickry. Racing a car along a cliff's edge.
Now this is pod-racing!

Yeah, they look cool, but what's the practical reason for it? From a user's perspective, I tend to keep my desktop covered with open windows most of the time, so I hardly ever see the desktop. I don't want transparent backgrounds because then I can't see what I'm working on.

Lawyers are not excused from jury duty, btw. Usually both sides are afraid of having them on a jury, though, for fear they'll explain the law to the other jurors differently than the jury instructions explain it.

Got to see the Allman Brothers at an improbable venue, at a campground in Redmond in either 1970 or 1971. The campground is long gone as was that night. The Allman Brothers showed up about 4 hours late and finally got started about midnight and went off for the next 4 hours. There may have been 300 of us left by the time they started and they gave us a night to forever remember.

They did an interbank interview with David Lee Roth.
It started with, as I recall, "your band has been described as juvenile, immature, undisciplined, sophomoric, etc . ."
David Lee response was "well that's just my dad talking"

Rapid Strikes
Leftists plan to disrupt the Chicago Democrat Convention, promising to Make America 1968 Again.
According to The Free Press, activists are planning to disrupt the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, echoing the violent protests of 1968. The group, which opposes President Joe Biden, is preparing to flood the streets, regardless of whether they receive a permit to protest. The activists are part of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization and have gathered 75 organizations to discuss their plans for the DNC. The group opposes President Biden, whom they refer to as "Genocide Joe" for his support of Israel in its war against Hamas. The activists are preparing to protest regardless of whether they receive a permit, with speakers instructing attendees on how to avoid arrest and identify Secret Service members.
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a far-left activist group, is planning to disrupt the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago. The group, which opposes President Joe Biden, is preparing to flood the streets, regardless of whether they receive a permit to protest. The activists have gathered 75 organizations to discuss their plans for the DNC, with speakers instructing attendees on how to avoid arrest and identify Secret Service members.
Days after an illegal alien murdered her aide, Democrat Senator Cortez-Mastro of Nevada calls the Mayorkas impeachment -- which is entirely about Americans being murdered by illegal aliens the Biden Administration illegally paroles into the country -- "a waste of time." The killer was wavied into the country by Biden and Mayorkas:
DHS released a statement. As could be predicted, Rueda-Linares was caught entering the country illegally in 2021 and released. <"blockquote>Rueda entered the United States March 12, 2021, at or near the Rio Grande City, Texas, Port of Entry without inspection by an immigration official," DHS told The Post in a statement. "United States Customs and Border Protection arrested him, and he was later released on his own recognizance June 22, 2021."Biden imposes the weakest possible sanctions on his political patron Iran as possible.
In other words, he won't sanction the country, just specific individuals and organizations. In other words -- he's acting as an agent for Iran yet again. Ed Morrissey comments:
Biden said the United States and its allies had helped Israel beat back the April 13 missile and drone strike and were now holding Iran accountable with the new sanctions and export controls. "The sanctions target leaders and entities connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Iran's Defense Ministry, and the Iranian government's missile and drone program that enabled this brazen assault," Biden said in a statement.
Again: A transgender wrote up a 129 page manifesto explaining a plan to become famousby committing a school shooting.
This is very weak sauce, and it's not going to convince Israel that a direct response is unnecessary. The only sanctions that matter to the mullahs are on oil sales, but Biden won't pitch those because he's too afraid of China's response. As long as Iran gets its revenue stream from oil, sanctions on the drone program won't slow them down a whit.
An 18-year-old high school student who identifies as transgender was arrested and charged over alleged plans to shoot up a Montgomery County, Maryland school. The suspect had a 129-page manifesto in which the student strategized how to undertake the crime. Andrea Ye, of Rockville, who goes by Alex Ye was arrested on Wednesday by local Montgomery County Police. This follows an investigation carried out by local police in association with the FBI field office out of Baltimore. The manifesto was discovered after a search warrant was carried out. "Ye was taken into custody and charged with threats of mass violence. He is currently being held at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit where he awaits a bond hearing," read the news release from the Montgomery County Department of Police, referring to the female student as "he." Parts of the manifesto were reportedly included in the application for statement of charges. It read: "I want to shoot up my school. I've been preparing for it for the past few months. As I sit in front of my dad's gun case and stare at the sleek, black gun inside, all I can think about is my finger on the trigger, taking aim, and killing people. The gun is an AR-15 style semi-automatic rifle. It's the kind of gun with a long barrel and a stock you put up against your shoulder. The gun is going to change lives tomorrow."Remember, transgender surgeries cure all of their mental illnesses, haters! It's good that they are showing Respecc for "his" pronouns. Wouldn't want to insult the would-be mass child killer.
Literally nothing in Joe Biden's claim of "Uncle Bosie, eaten by cannibals" is true.
Biden has added a new greatest hit to his completely phony stories:
— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) April 17, 2024
His grandfather... who they for some reason called "Uncle Bosey" was shot down in a plane and possibly eaten by cannibals...
What the actual f*ck?!?! pic.twitter.com/C5RLYJ3h90
As reported by the New Yorker a year and a half ago, the only survivor of the crash that killed Biden's uncle said that no one else escaped the plane pic.twitter.com/uMSaYXuWc5
— Zach Parkinson (@AZachParkinson) April 17, 2024
As is often the case, the White House simply refused to address the false claim and made it sound like reporters were denigrating the service of his uncle by asking about the cannibal story. White House spokesman Andrew Bates declared "President Biden is proud of his uncle's service in uniform" and emphasized that Finnegan "lost his life when the military aircraft he was on crashed in the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea."To be the millionth person to point this out: The problem isn't just the constant lying. The problem is that after he's mocked for his confabulations, and the White House "corrects the record" (which they're not bothering to do any longer), and after his handlers tell him to stop repeating the same debunked demented lies -- he just keeps on telling them. He's claimed that Beau Biden died in combat about 100 times. He claimed that the same dead man saluted him as he traveled his billionth mile on Amtrak a 100 times. It doesn't matter how many times this demented old fool is corrected, he doesn't remember the correction and goes out and tells the same lies again. It's one thing to not remember what happened 80 years ago. It's another thing to forget what year your son died. And it's another thing further to not remember that your staff corrected you about your faulty memory of your life two weeks ago. He can't remember. He cannot form new memories. His brains were always crap but now they're shot through with holes.

Ye is obviously a firearms expert. Another excerpt:
"1 have also considered shooting up my former elementary school because little kids make easier targets. And, I run the risk of getting attacked or tackled midway through with high schoolers. I also hated elementary school. The teachers were evil and the other students were little assholes. I always got in trouble and had to sit out during recess. The other kids would pretend to be my friends but make fun of me to my face. It would be the perfect revenge."
Dudette, little kids have smaller target profiles.

Decrepit Joe is a One Trick Pony (pony soldier that is, a plastic-faced one). His one trick (actually his mission in public life) is to make everything about him. Now he's wrapping himself in the imaginary burial shroud of his Uncle Bosey, an imaginary fighter pilot who was eaten by imaginary cannibals. Because he believes it makes himself look better having a heroic relative.
Joe never publicly praises accomplishments of his relatives, friends, or staff and members of his Administration. Other than demanding everyone call Jill DOCTOR Jill, because he believes it reflects well on him that he's married to a doctor of anything.
What did Beau accomplish during his military service. Joe never tells us. What did his father accomplish other than fathering Superman Joe Jr.? Joe never says.

One, climate will always change. What, is Biden going to outlaw death next? (He will, and if you are against him, that’s because you support Big Death.)
Two, if we were serious (snort), we’d follow France’s lead and go 70-80% nuclear. (I’d like to see that happen and us export coal.). You care about your grandkids? Demand nukes.

Dan Crenshaw brings in an annual salary of $174,000.
He’s been in Congress for 4 years.
His dirty stock trading profits him ABOVE Pelosi’s trading!
Today, his net-worth is $4.4 million.
Not only that…
In 2021, Crenshaw voted on a National vax database, to keep track of who did/did not get the jab.
Crenshaw's campaign paid his wife’s firm “Pink Cilantro” more than $350,000, and according to the FDR, reported it as ‘spouse salary.’

Aljazerra News: The United States has sent dozens of Haitian citizens back to their country on a deportation flight, despite a surge in deadly gang violence and widespread instability in the Caribbean nation.
A spokesperson for the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Al Jazeera on Thursday that one of its agencies — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — “conducted a repatriation flight of around 50 Haitian nationals to Haiti”.
“Individuals are removed only if they were found to not have a legal basis to remain in the United States,” the spokesperson said in an email.

The Facts About Beau Biden’s Cancer
Health
June 04, 2015) With mourners gathering in the Delaware Senate to pay their respects Thursday, the death of Vice President Joe Biden’s oldest son Beau at 46 from brain cancer brings to a light a rare, but lethal disease that remains stubbornly resistant to treatment. Beau Biden was originally diagnosed back in 2013. After surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, he went back to work as Delaware’s Attorney General and even had plans to run for Governor in 2016, according to the Washington Post. Sadly, he suffered a recurrence this spring, and his health quickly deteriorated. While death rates from many cancers have declined thanks to better prevention, screening, and treatment, with the overall cancer death rate among Americans falling 22% between 1990 and 2011, death rates from glioblastoma remain virtually unchanged, says Adilia Hormigo, MD, PhD, director of the Neuro-Oncology Program at The Mount Sinai Hospital and Mount Sinai Health System. “The progress has been very limited; we’re kind of stuck with the same treatments.”

The Wendigo possesses stick thin guys with pale skin and sunken eyes and yellow teeth, and makes 'em eat people. Can't stop the hunger, jack! At least that's what the Algonquin told me when I was their shaman from the bronze age through 1974. They called me the Medicine Man back then, just like my own docs do til this day.
Anyway, that's why I thought it was a Wendigo when it ate Beau. I caught him with a dreamcatcher, and then found it was the smartest guy I know. Just ate 'im to save 'im from the cancer. I told that dreamcatcher it had six seconds to release him, or I'd kill every damn buffalo on the Great Plains. And whaddya know, but I killed 'em all. Word as a Brandon.

With regard to MLB, I wonder if they include dark-skinned Latino players as black? I suspect definitely not. If they DID add AA players & dark-skinned Latino players together, I suspect that the combined total would approach 40% or more, depending on who is sufficiently dark-skinned to be counted as black.
Youth baseball has declined in popularity in the cities. MLB has acknowledged this & tried to address the problem. You can't play baseball in a gym, and it's a "traveling sport," unlike playground basketball. "Traveling sport" means someone has to drive the child somewhere to a game.
Meanwhile, beisbal is flourishing in Latin America.
In sum, it's a little more complex than just saying "blacks are underrepresented."

Also, the Franchi SPAS12. The shoulder stock actually did fold up over the rest of the gun and could be used as a carry handle. You could shoot it that way, too. (You could also push a button on the bottom of the foreend, and switch it from pump to semi-auto.) It was a very cool gun, but not really a decent weapon, IMO. Too dang heavy, too bulky, and the ability to switch from semi to pump was kinda pointless. So I traded it.

Washington Times: Laken Riley's Illegal Alien Murderer Was Set Free Due to a "Lack of Bedspace" In Illegal Alien Dention Centers;
Mayorkas Asked for a Cut In Money for Bedspaces Three Years in a Row
They engineered this situation, deliberately.
They cut the funding to detain illegal alien criminals so that they can then release them and use "lack of funding for detention of illegal alien criminals" as their justification. Steven Dinan:Homeland Security released the illegal immigrant accused of killing Laken Riley into the U.S. because it lacked the detention space, according to his confidential immigration file. Sen. Josh Hawley, Missouri Republican, read key parts of the file into the record at a Senate hearing Thursday. Jose Ibarra, the man charged with the Feb. 22 slaying, was released under Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' power of parole, which is supposed to be used in limited cases and only when there is an urgent humanitarian need or a significant benefit to the public. Mr. Hawley said lack of detention space doesn't meet either of those standards and so Mr. Mayorkas broke the law in releasing the suspected killer. "Now we all know that the reason he was paroled into this country is because of lack of detention capacity, which you and I both know is not a valid reason," the senator said. Mr. Mayorkas declined to talk about the details of the case and wouldn't say whether he had read his department's file on Mr. Ibarra. ... Mr. Hawley swatted Mr. Mayorkas for giving two different answers about Mr. Ibarra's case in testimony to other committees this month. "Why did you change your story so often?" Mr. Hawley challenged. ...They cut the bed space, then say the lack of bed space constitutes a "humanitarian emergency" which requires that illegal alien criminals be set free to murder Americans. Mayorkas confessed last month that the Biden Regime policy is to free all illegal alien criminals unless they have committed a "serious offense." But Laken Riley's killer put a child in danger and Biden took no action.
Even as he's acknowledged a lack of ICE beds, Mr. Mayorkas has asked Congress to cut bed space further in every budget he's submitted.
On Face the Nation on Sunday, host Margaret Brennan noted that the suspect not only was "an undocumented Venezuelan migrant" but also was arrested twice, once in New York City for driving without a license and once in Athens, Georgia, for shoplifting. Brennan asked Mayorkas, "Did those states and their law enforcement communicate to the federal government that this had happened? Should this man have been deported?" Instead of accepting responsibility for allowing the suspect to walk free, Mayorkas tried to blame New York City and Athens. "Margaret, there are a number of cities around the country that have varying degrees of cooperation with the immigration authorities," Mayorkas said. "We firmly believe that if a city is aware of an individual who poses a threat to public safety, then we would request that they provide us with that information so that we can ensure that that individual is detained if the facts so warrant." Mayorkas makes it sound like if only New York City and Athens had alerted Immigration and Customs Enforcement about the suspect's previous arrests, then ICE would have acted. But that is not true. Under a Mayorkas memo issued on Sept. 30, 2021, ICE never would have wasted the effort to deport the suspect. "A noncitizen who poses a current threat to public safety, typically because of serious criminal conduct, is a priority for apprehension and removal," the Mayorkas memo reads. "Whether a noncitizen poses a current threat to public safety is not to be determined according to bright lines or categories. It instead requires an assessment of the individual and the totality of the facts and circumstances."Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson, Our Hero, is ramming through the Ukraininan funding bill while blocking any efforts to amend the funding bill with funding for the US border. We have to keep our priorities in mind! And our highest priority as a country is to support and defend Joe Biden's foreign paymasters. The Freedom Caucus calls this no-amendments-on-Ukraine-funding "the America Last Rule."
I assume "The Firm (TM)" is his nickname for the establishment Stasi Uniparty.
Mike Lee
@BasedMikeLee Tell your representative: TAKE DOWN THE "AMERICA LAST" RULE! House Republicans can't transform leftist priorities into Republican wins simply by attaching their names. And make no mistake, that's what The Firm (TM) is trying to get away with here.
MTG is angry about Speaker Johnson bringing the Ukraine funding bill to a vote -- which he doesn't have to do; he's in control of which bills get a vote and which are tabled forever -- and so she is proposing an amendment that anyone voting for Ukraine aid must sign up to fight for Ukraine.
Mike Lee
@BasedMikeLee Republican lawmakers universally campaign as conservatives. Far too many of them vote to advance progressive priorities once in office. Then they contort themselves into pretzels trying to claim they're still conservatives. Watch carefully what happens over the next few days.
Mike Lee and Josh Hawley blasted the Secretary for Illegal Immigration Mayorkas.
In an impassioned speech, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) made one of the most important points in standing in opposition to Schumer's machinations, correctly noting that Mayorkas had indeed been accused of impeachable offenses including "knowingly making false statements." "If this is not a high crime and misdemeanor, what is? If this is not impeachable, what is? What precedent will we be setting?" Lee rhetorically asked his colleagues as Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) attempted to shush him.

@BillMelugin_ Missouri Senator @HawleyMO just ripped into DHS Secretary Mayorkas regarding the release into US of Laken Riley's Venezuelan alleged killer. Mayorkas responded that he has confidence justice will be served in the case. Hawley: "Hopefully he'll get more of a trial than you did."
Senator @HawleyMO pins DHS Secretary Mayorkas into a corner:

It's all to register illegal people to sign on ballots with phony SS numbers in vast numbers (30 or so million), then hold them in warehouses when needed. The DNC will then ship them whenever called upon, where-ever needed, across 20 or so state, county or city election board with DNC recording fraudsters at the ready.

We need for counties within states to have the ability to vote individual counties 'out' and have that region revert back to territorial status. For example a majority of counties in Calif could vote to expel Los Angeles and San Francisco counties and the affected areas revert to territorial status.

- I read a few days ago that Biden was holding back funding and ammo, claiming that the authorization was all used up, simply because it polls so well as a way to blame Republicans. He apparently had billions unspent but refused to use until he got a guarantee of funds into 2025 and beyond.
- How much of this is driven by China propaganda? They are the real winners in all this.

But no, there wasn’t a famine in the Great Depression. If there was, please point me to sources. Because I haven’t seen any.
And, more to the point, if there was a famine in the Great Depression, I shouldn’t even be here, given the rather major portion of my family that came from the Midwest. They weren’t city folk.

uh. I don't think that's a lie--I mean that it happened there (dead certain) and may very well still happen.
Its a weird weird thing but places that have cannibalism in their past, and especially kinda recent past, tend to have incidents where they revert to it. Happened in Kalimantan (Borneo) with Dayaks (even though converted to Christian) eating a couple Madurese in the early 2000's.
A buddy of mine was at an event where Christians were confessing and repending of what they did. He talked to a guy who said he *almost* fell back into it and this Indonesian reported that at one point they all felt a "call", something that they either felt/heard and that was pulling them to come to the place where the cannibalism happened. He said it was almost overwhelming.
The world is weird and spiritually dark.

You are getting increasingly angry to the point of irrationality. Yes, I know about the soup kitchens and other such things that existed during the Great Depression. Ain’t it great when something called a “civil society” goes forth to help their fellow man?
This bothers you intensely, I don’t know why, but I’m sorry, there wasn’t a famine during the Great Depression. By your logic, we have hungry people in America right now as I type, therefore there is a famine. No, contrary to your name, this is NOT how it works.

Polls, Schmolls: Trump Up by 3 Nationally; Biden Continues Loosing the Yute Vote
A poll from left-tilting Emerson puts Trump up over Biden 46-43 nationally, and 51-48 with leaners included.
Trump consistently outperforms his polls. And he's almost never been shown to be ahead of his opponent in any poll from 2016 or 2020, despite winning handily in 2016 and nearly winning (it's complicated, fortification was involved) in 2020. Now he's always ahead of Biden. Biden keeps losing ground with absolute must-have constitutencies.A recent Harvard IOP poll indicates a significant narrowing of President Biden's lead among young voters, with only an 8-point lead over Trump, down from 23 points in 2020, amidst controversial policies aimed at courting this demographic.I mentioned this poll yesterday -- most Americans say that Trump isn't guilty of anything, and the Soros DA prosecution is a political hit-job.
Biden's lead over Trump among 18-29-year-olds has plummeted from 23 points in spring 2020 to just 8 points in spring 2024. In an apparent bid to regain favor, Biden proposes canceling student loan debt in contrast to his unpopular stance on banning TikTok, a platform beloved by the youth. These moves suggest a strategy to buy youth support as the November election approaches, raising questions about the sincerity and effectiveness of such policies.
A recent AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll reveals that the majority of Americans do not believe former President Donald Trump broke the law his hush money case. The poll also indicates a general skepticism about the fairness of the prosecutors, judge, and jurors involved in the case. Key Details: Only about one-third of U.S. adults believe Trump committed an illegal act in the hush money case. 35% think Trump acted illegally, 31% see his actions as unethical but not illegal, and 14% believe he did nothing wrong. Only 31% are confident that Trump is being treated fairly by the prosecution, and about 20% trust the fairness of jurors and judges. Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt described the trial as "political persecution" and claimed it is part of a strategy to undermine Trump politically.

Yes, NEARLY winning, until a "broken pipe" that wasn't broken in Atlanta forced 5 heavily democrat cities to kick out all the election observers. At which point, Biden miraculously gained a lead when no one was watching the counters.

Of course, I'm unclear what incentive any media poll has to actually try and be accurate at all, especially 7 months out from an election.
When people talk about this poll or that poll being accurate, they don't say, "Well, Pollster X got it bang on in April." They say, "Pollster X's final poll, done right before the election, was bang on."
No one remembers the polls from April.

With 4 years of calling him Hitler and hyping up every little thing that could go wrong as well as "chaos" and then, on top of it, covid and the purposeful shutting down of the economy, they still relied on mail in ballot fraud for months...which wasn't enough. They had to shut down ballot counting in six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall...in the open because their panic was so obvious.

It's complicated but if you know the percentages of (R)'s (D)'s and (I)'s you actually can find the truth in them if you drill down. If you know one key states inclination you can take a pretty damn educated guess as to other states. Trump won FL and OH in 2020? He won the EC.

No, I'm asserting that an accurate count of actual votes in PA over the past thirty years would more than likely have led to Republican victories.
That Philly's election system is so fake that to reflect only actual votes counted, it would tilt the entire state red.

Manipulating numbers like that blows up margin of error.

OK, I gotta opine on Sydney Sweeney. Everyone who's praising her makes it sound like she's another Jayne Mansfield. She just isn't. Yeah, her online images are cute enough, and she does seem to have a well-developed set of funbags. But that Polish chick that Aetius posted a couple of threads back has her totally licked in the boobage department.
I mean, I've never actually seen her move around on screen, so I could quite possibly be missing something. But, in my opinion, Winona Ryder, when she started out, was as good as, or better, than Sydney. Same with a lot of other breasted actresses.
I don't get the swooning over Sydney. Rant off.

OK, dumbasses, get the CAIR clowns back here at the White House TOMORROW, dammit, and ask them what bribes it will take to get the vote of every Muzzie in the country and ensure the Hamas-lovers DO NOT disrupt my triumph at the DNC in Chicago!!!
Look, if it takes three virgin sheep for every male Muzzie, a blade-cutter missile up Bibi's ass, and changing the colors of US flag to red, white, black and green, all that is doable! But at least try to bargain them down to only two sheep per male, OK?
But I will not agree to wear a head-rag like Arafat's or referring to myself as Joe bin-Biden!

If you've ever seen The Big Short, which I recommend, it's an exact parallel. The guys who shorted real estate, knowing that it was a bubble, couldn't figure out why the stock prices weren't nosediving with the huge rise in mortgages in default. They eventually figured out that the game was rigged. Ratings services like Standard and Poor's, and Moody's were giving knowingly fraudulent ratings in order to keep the business. This went on for a long time, until it just imploded. Slowly, than all at once.
I hope that's the stage where the Dems are now.

I obviously wasn't there, but I believe the quote that 1/3 of the country sided with the crown, 1/3 against, and 1/3 simply did not care. It's always been like this.
Now, lets make it more interesting. I don't think the NorthEast ... location of most of that original 1/3, has changed much either. Show me one leader - any will do - that's every came from the NorthEast that was a champion of individual freedom.

I don't.
Because, if you recall, all the blue cities with those arenas were locked down.
They basically banned Trump from his greatest strength.
The open-air rallies at airports didn't have the same punch.
I keep saying, you realize how insane 2020 was with the lockdowns?
How insane "2 weeks to flatten the curve" became months and months?"
You realize that the lockdowns--to enforce social distancing-- was the linchpin for not just keeping Trump from campaigning but also all the the fraud? The mail ballots, the drop boxes, the extended voting, all of it.

That said, I think the Emerson poll Ace cites is a bit of an outlier. It's much better for Team Orange (Trump +3) than ten or so other recent polls.
Biden has definitely improved his polling numbers in the last couple of weeks. Look at the RCP averages.
Also, the fact that Emerson College is left-leaning doesn't mean that the polls they commission are also. Reuters has reported some of Trump's best polling, & it hardly needs to be said that Reuters despises Trump.
I think Trump's recent campaign appearances have been masterful-- the bodega, and the slain cop's funeral (while Biden had a big dollar FR). It looks to me like whoever chose these venues has a spot of talent!

It's very good to be sure, but they pulled some of their punches, revealing an ultimately leftist message.
They mocked people blaming immigrants and poor people for the 2008 collapse, but never mentioned the lefty politicians who insisted on giving mortgages to people who manifestly did not merit them.
Posted by: Archimedes at April 18, 2024 05:31 PM (CsUN+)
And what's happened to cause that? Has the economy gotten better? Is inflation down? Is the border secured? Is crime down? Have the wars ended? Did he get a bounce from the horrible SOTU speech?
I don't believe any national polls. According to the head of the Insider Advantage poll many media pollsters have been changing their polls to include registered voters and changing techniques to include things like panels instead of random phone calls.
There is no way in hell that Joe Biden has improved his polls over the last couple months. Things have either stayed the same or gotten worse in the country. Biden goes to his home turf in PA and draws 50 people to a boring speech while Trump goes to Harlem of all places and has a huge, enthusiastic crowd. Things don't add up with the polls.

The trendlines in the polls are the most important part. When poll A shows Biden improving with each new poll, and Polls B,C,D, & E show the same trend, I don't think you can just wish that away. Something HAS changed, & it's not a corrupt conspiracy by all the pollsters, either.
Consumer confidence has been improving also, as well as the results for the question, "Do you expect the economy will get better or worse?"
I think those perceptions account for Biden's modest but measurable improvement. The jobs data, at least the topline, are holding up quite well. (I think the good topline numbers are a mirage, but that's a story for another thread.)

I told him Trump. I said I could never vote for Biden. I said I'd watched numb-nuts Biden in action for 40 years. I knew he would fork-up the economy, foreign policy, general domestic policy, and everything else he was determined to fix. I told him Trump was far from perfect but would do infinitely better on everything than Biden ever could.
I asked him who he would vote for. He thanked me for my comments and said he was still undecided. He added that he was not sure he could vote for Trump, though, because Trump didn't talk and act like he believed a President should.

Leftwing Activist Lies to Get on the Trump Jury
More on that later.
Second Trump juror dismissed after failing to disclose arrest for vandalizing right-leaning political ads A juror in former President Trump's criminal trial was dismissed after it was revealed he had been previously arrested for tearing down right-leaning political ads. This comes shortly after another juror was excused for expressing concerns about her ability to remain fair and impartial.
The dismissed juror, known as Juror #4, was arrested in Westchester, N.Y. at an undisclosed time for tearing down right-leaning political advertisements. Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass also revealed that the juror's wife had been involved in a "corruption inquiry" requiring a "deferred prosecution agreement with the district attorney's office." Following the dismissal of Juror #4 and Juror #2, only five jurors remain sworn in, with thirteen more needed before opening arguments can commence. ... The dismissal of Juror #4 comes on the heels of the excusal of Juror #2, a nurse from Manhattan's Upper East Side. She expressed concerns about her ability to remain fair and impartial in the trial, citing potential outside influence and pressure from family and friends. Judge Merchan expressed regret at her departure, stating, "We lost what would have been a good juror."Leftwingers see this trial not only as a way to attack Trump, but to cash in with the inevitable book deal. The first juror was excused because the media posted so many details about her that members of her family guessed she was on the jury. This isn't intimidation by Trump; it's intimidation by the media, which once again wants to tell jurors "We are watching you and will punish you for voting 'wrong.'"
A female juror, "Juror #2," who works as an oncology nurse and had biographical details -- including her occupation and other information from her responses to the juror questionnaire and its 42 multi-part questions -- made public told the judge that she had "friends, colleagues, and family push things to my phone questioning my identity as a juror." "After sleeping on it overnight," Juror #2 told the court she "has concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial." As a result, Judge Juan Merchan excused Juror #2, meaning there are just now just six impaneled jurors and 12 more must still be settled. Contrary to claims that Trump and his allies are trying to intimidate jurors, mainstream media outlets hostile to Trump reported details about jurors' identities -- apparently enough details to allow at least one juror to have her presence on the panel suspected.
🚨A juror seated in Trump's trial was just dismissed after it was found out he was arrested for engaging in POLITICAL VANDALISM against the right

He lied under oath in order to "get Trump"
RIGGED TRIAL pic.twitter.com/AycLYgQTrC
A cheery young Hispanic working single mom who should terrify the Democrats had just picked up her 1-year-old son from his babysitter on Tuesday evening when she encountered a crowd at Broadway and W. 139th St. in Harlem. None other than Donald Trump was just beyond a line of police barricades outside the Sanaa Convenient store.Vargas complained about crime in the subways and said that she didn't feel unsafe to ride them when Trump was president.
"I was amazed to see him," 31-year-old Sabrina Vargas later told The Daily Beast. "Just to see what everyone jokes about--his hair, the color. It was kind of breezy." Trump had come directly from his criminal trial to a neighborhood he might have been expected to avoid for fear of a hostile reception. The visit was the idea of Francisco Marte, head of the Bodega and Small Business Group. ... The police closed off the immediate vicinity with barricades. The Secret Service searched everyone inside the perimeter to ensure there were no firearms in the immediate area of Trump--who then suggested in his remarks that a gun could have prevented the stabbing at the store. "If you have a gun, then you'd never get robbed," Trump said. "That would be the end of it." ...
Vargas arrived in the midst of it, having just collected her son, Makhai, after a shift as a table server at the Hard Rock in Times Square. "You had a lot of mixed emotions," she recalled. "I saw some women upset. I saw a lot of people happy. And a lot of people who seem confused." But, by her estimate, only 15 percent of the onlookers were manifestly negative. She herself had only positive things to say. "I liked his suit," she said. "It looks like he lost some weight." She added, "He looked happy. He always looks happy." She noted one exception: "Not when he's in court." Vargas said that when the crowd cheered, little Makhai joined in. She was asked if she also cheered. "I did," she allowed. ... For all of Trump's sins and lies since then, and despite the dire threat he poses to democracy, he drew similar cheers in Harlem on Tuesday. And it should scare the hell out of the Democrats that those who joined in included a working woman who should be a vote they can count on. "I think Biden could do a lot better," Vargas said.

"He just seems very selfish and self-serving," she added. "I don't really appreciate that in any public servant."
The way Trump presents himself in public is "not my cup of tea," she added.

Kyphosis is an exaggerated, forward rounding of the upper back. In older people, kyphosis is often due to weakness in the spinal bones that causes them to compress or crack. Other types of kyphosis can appear in infants or teens due to malformation of the spine or wedging of the spinal bones over time.

Root.
Lawyer comes (obviously) from "Law," which is from Norse and came to England by the same way all the Norse stuff did.
Attorney comes from "atorne," which is from French and came to England by the same way all the French stuff did.
"Lawyer" developed as English in England, and "Attorney" started (probably) as a French loanword. They developed at about the same time, and are direct synonyms.

Yeah, the "Attorney at Law" construction is odd, because "attorney" means *only* that in English. In French, not so much. IIRC, it is basically "appointee," though in English it has only the one meaning: the person appointed by the client to represent him in legal matters.

There's a good twitter thread on this. A bit long but TL/DR: "But the rise of the new right in democratic processes like Trump, Brexit, Bolsonaro, etc was too much of an unexpected contradiction, and they panicked; and since they confuse democracy with eschatological democracy, a challenge to their utopia is perceived as a death threat to democracy. Since everything is acceptable to destroy the devil, they resort to authoritarian measures, including censorship, while believing they are the saviors of freedom and democracy."

Boycotts of Fox Sponsors aren't particularly effective. Fox is trying to engineer a mistrial.
he should be charged with a crime. that's jury tampering for sure. convince me i'm wrong about this. it's an absolute abuse of the First Amendment at the very least.
same with the 2nd amendment. it was never intended to mean any old person could have guns that kill multiple people at one time. i hate republicans.

If the Left had let the truth come out earlier instead of attacking it at every possible turn, people would know. And they wouldn't just know, they would be forced to say it because they would know everyone knew. It's weird.

NBC News: CONGRESS
House progressives release an agenda for 2025, with ideas for Biden to excite the base
The agenda is heavy on economics and lighter on cultural issues, carrying echoes of FDR's New Deal. It omits some issues that lack Democratic consensus, like "Medicare for All."
The Congressional Progressive Caucus agenda, first shared with NBC News, doubles as a blueprint of political advice for how it believes President Joe Biden can win over progressives and young voters who are uninspired by his re-election bid ahead of a rematch with former President Donald Trump.
“If the progressive base is not excited and enthusiastic — and if they don’t feel like we are trying to earn their votes and that they are important — then I think the horrific idea of a second Donald Trump presidency could become reality,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., the progressive caucus chair, said in an interview. “We cannot afford to let that happen. And we won’t.”

Surprise: Ilhan "Omar" Nur's "Psycho" Daughter Suspended from Barnard College Over, Get This, Anti-Semitic Protests
Via Twitchy, this is just such an unexpected plot twist.
I've been Sixth Sensed. Bruce Willis was The Invisible Man the whole time.Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter, Isra Hirsi, revealed Thursday she has been suspended from Barnard College over her involvement in anti-Israel protests on Columbia University's campus. "I'm an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege I have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings," the 21-year-old wrote on X. "I just received notice that I am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide." Hirsi and the two other students -- identified as Maryam Iqbal and Soph Dinu -- received notice of their suspension from Barnard Dean, Leslie Grinage, first thing Thursday morning, the Apartheid Divest said in a statement. "This decision is based on information received from Columbia University Public Safety that you have been involved in an unauthorized encampment on the Columbia University campus and you have not ceased participation in this unauthorized encampment despite repeated requests from Barnard and Columbia on April 17, 2024 that you do so," the dean's email read, according to the student group. Hirsi's suspension comes after at least three people were arrested overnight in connection with the ongoing tent protest on the Ivy League school's Morningside campus. ... In a follow up tweet revealing her suspension, a defiant Hirsi said protestors "will not be intimidated."Clare Shipman, formerly some NBC reporterette and wife of Obama press secretary (and former fake "journalist") James Carney, reports that the anti-semitism at Columbia -- of which Barnard is a sister school -- is "shocking." I'm shocked that you're shocked.
The co-chair of Columbia University's Board of Trustees, Claire Shipman, told a congressional panel on Wednesday that the proliferation of anti-Semitism on the school's Manhattan campus is "shocking."
Shipman's husband, Jay Carney, served as press secretary under former president Barack Obama, a Columbia alumnus whose longtime friendship with one of the school's notorious anti-Semitic professors became a central issue in his 2008 campaign. During Wednesday's House Education Committee hearing featuring testimony from Columbia president Minouche Shafik and other school leaders, Shipman was asked to respond to what one lawmaker described as "pro-terrorist expressions on campus on a significant scale." "I think it says we have a lot of work to do. It's shocking," Shipman said. "I think it says that we have lost our way in terms of what we expect from each other in a learning community and in our society. I think we have to ... commit to speech that isn't laced with hate and isn't just meant to provoke." Carney is probably more familiar with the anti-Israel and anti-Semitic rhetoric that has percolated for decades on the Columbia campus, having accepted a job in the Obama administration in 2008, when Obama's friendship with one of Columbia's most prominent anti-Semitic professors was a recurring theme. Though Obama professed support for Israel, the Los Angeles Times reported in the spring of 2008 that, in fact, Obama was a "friend and frequent dinner companion" of Rashid Khalidi, an anti-Israel scholar who has taught in Columbia's history department since 2003. Obama lauded Khalidi at a going away party before the professor joined Columbia, saying Khalidi gave "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases." In the wake of Hamas's Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel, Khalidi argued the attack required "context," telling Democracy Now! that Israel's "settler colonialism" and "apartheid" regime was to blame.

:: what follows is all speculation ::
Here's the thing, toots: the college agrees with you. Its administrators are on your side. The problem you're now facing is likely two-fold:
1. I doubt you were "standing in solidarity." Mere standing wouldn't have landed you a suspension from a friendly administration.
2. Money talks and bullshit walks. Some rich donors who are probably *very* unhappy with the pro-pali/anti-Jew stuff likely made a call. Their pocketbooks close unless you - the idiot child of an idiot elite who are both poster children for this insanity - are specifically punished. Barnard is a small school with a small endowment that can't even cover two full years' worth of total operating expenses. It can't afford to lose major donors, so *you* lose this time.

Her grandfather was a colonel under the Communist leader of Somalia, Siad Barre.
Barre's government fell in 1991. Unsurprisingly, the Nur family fled Somalia in 1991, and claimed to be part of the "Omar" family in order to illegally immigrate to the United States in 1995.

We write as Jewish faculty of Columbia and Barnard in anticipation of your appearance before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce
we are gravely concerned about the false narratives that frame these proceedings to entrap witnesses...defend our shared commitment to universities as sites of learning, critical thinking, and knowledge production against this new McCarthyism...the committee is leveraging antisemitism in a wider effort to caricature and demonize universities as hotbeds of “woke indoctrination.”
The prospect of Rep. Elise Stefanik, a member of congress with a history of espousing white nationalist politics, calling university presidents to account for alleged antisemitism on their campuses reveals these proceedings as disingenuous political theater.
Labeling pro-Palestinian expression as anti-Jewish hate speech requires a dangerous and false conflation of Zionism with Jewishness, of political ideology with identity. It erases more than a century of debates among Jews themselves about the nature of a Jewish homeland in the biblical Land of Israel, including Israel’s status as a Jewish nation-state.

Interesting. It would certainly send oil prices into the stratosphere, but how quickly could the USA ramp up production? I'd venture not fast enough to placate a pissed off electorate with a fresh round of inflation. Why would the USA oil industry want to help Biden by fast tracking production?

In that environment, the colleges were turned into lobster traps - you could get in, but you couldn't get out. Anyone who wanted to could go to a college or university, but it was a one-way trip. Once you walked through the gates, you could never leave. Anyone on the outside caught giving aid to the colleges (food, medicine, etc.) was sentenced to a labor camp in Alaska.

By the way, Joe Mannix - this is exactly what I was trying to convey in the last thread about the objective of vilifying J6ers and anyone defending it...it was to get this simpering response, a wimpy plead to stop from truth seeking folks by those who are most oppressed.
This is why J6 and anyone defending it is threatened with severe "over the top" retribution by the legal and judiciary left in proportions all outsize of any actual offense - it's to stomp out public dissent from their one-party rule in a way the Nazis would envy and did practice where-ever they could.

But that said, I'm totally not on board with all this focus of late "anti semitism" by supposedly well-meaning types. It furthers the general, bullshit narrative that "hate speech" is somehow a thing in a free society, and the Worst Thing Ever, and also "On the Rise" ergo the government, social media, academia etc have a right and imperative to police everyone's tongue.
And, it puts The Jews in the middle of the scrum between anti-speech commies and those who care about speech, such that both sides get to Blame the Jews for not having their way.

Would never hire anyone from the Ivies or, say, Williams College, etc. into my finance department. They are universally non-productive employees, as I have learned in the past, as they eventually result in more HR problems/distractions than any other young employee from any another school who has suggested a desire to learn and advance in our company. These graduates are either for academia, or to pad an investment firm's/fund's LOL resume in the NE, rather than anything to do with real business.

Eh, people would do better not to commit genocide (though it may become sadly necessary in this case). Hard to get that dirt off your hands.
But your question goes to my main point about Muslims, and particularly the Arab ones.
Everyone loves to freak out about their terrorism, but set aside their strong predilection for psychotic bloodletting, and you get to the nub of the problem with these assholes.
Even if they weren't out to kill, rape, or enslave you... What are the redeeming qualities of the Arabs? The only single thing these congenital fuckups are good for is their food - and it's more or less the same stuff the Greeks and Mediterranean Jews make anyway.
We waste an awful lot of breath pretending these people have value to the rest of the world. They don't even have value to themselves, which is why their nations are all so dismal and pathetic unless they have enough oil money to hire foreigners to do literally every single fucking thing in their lives. They're G-d's mistake.
