Democrat Mega-Donor Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 Years for Swindling Billions from Customers

Prosecutors sought 50 years but Sam Bankman-Fried got the Friends and Family Discount.



Crypto entrepreneur Sam Bankman-Fried on Thursday was sentenced to 25 years in prison for stealing $8 billion from customers at the failed crypto exchange, FTX.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said that the FTX founder had committed "obstruction of justice," according to NBC News.

Bankman-Fried admitted during his sentencing hearing in New York that he made "selfish decisions" when running the failed crypto exchange.

"They built something really beautiful and I threw all of that away," Bankman-Fried said of his former co-workers at the exchange, according to CNBC News.

30 ‘Remorseless’ Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison — as judge rips him as power-obsessed scammer

A Manhattan judge ripped Sam Bankman-Fried as a “remorseless” scammer obsessed with political power as he sentenced the fallen crypto mogul to 25 years in prison Thursday — five months after he was found guilty of stealing more than $8 billion of funds from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

Judge Lewis Kaplan said the 32-year-old convicted fraudster “presented himself as the good guy” all in favor of “appropriate regulation of the crypto industry” — but it was just an “act.”

Inner City Press @innercitypress
Judge Kaplan: On obstruction of justice, I find that Mr. Bankman-Fried's text to the former general counsel did in fact constitute attempted witness tampering. I make 3 perjury findings based on trial testimony

Judge Kaplan: I find the Mr. Bankman-Fried gave perjured testimony at trial - he falsely testified that until the Fall of 2022 he had no knowledge that Alameda had spent FTX customer funds. He falsely testified that he first learned of the $8 billion in Oct 2022

I'm going to wager he will not be Epsteined. Most of the people he scammed were nobodies. He gave craptons of money to powerful people. Even after his indictment, money was disappearing. I'm guessing that was all of the powerful people who still had money wrapped up in SBF's org getting their money back. They made themselves whole. The only ones left holding the bag were little people.

63 Ace,
You may want to check this out...

You may have heard about it, but North Alabama had an officer shoot a male dindunuffin recently. The three cops were all fired, one of whom is under prosecution for murder. The usual asshats protested, created a scene and elevated everything so that the cops (guilty or innocent) wouldn't ever get a fair trial.

Evidently this pissed off someone, and the body cam footage was released. I need to watch it again, but the dindu exited his house, with a pistol drawn, pistol flashlight illuminated, and under the very bright light of one of the officers, showing the other two officers that he was armed and engaging them all three.

Watch the video....https://is.gd/otsLc0

Speaking of MONEY

Stephen Colbert, host of CBS' "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," will moderate an "armchair conversation" with Biden, Obama and Clinton at the high-dollar event at Radio City Music Hall in New York, according to the campaign.

Actress Mindy Kaling, who starred in the television shows "The Office" and "The Mindy Project," is set to host the program. The evening will feature musical guests Lizzo, Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele.

The fundraiser is expected to be the most lucrative to date for Biden's reelection campaign, which has significantly outraised former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

The event is expected to raise at least $10 million and draw at least 3,000 people, Chris Korge, a veteran Democratic fundraiser and finance chair of the Biden Victory Fund, told NBC News. A photograph with all three presidents costs $100,000 and up, NBC reported, but the tickets to attend the program go for as little as $250 each.

Chief Democrat Witness Against Trump in Phony Ukranian Phone Call Impeachment Registers as a Foreign Agent for, Get This, Ukraine

Whoa! I did not see this coming.


On Thursday, one of the star witnesses in the first failed impeachment of President Donald Trump registered as a foreign agent on behalf of Ukraine and the European Union (EU).


According to the Daily Caller, Gordon Sondland, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to the EU from 2018 to 2020, testified against President Trump in the 2019 impeachment inry. In his testimony before the House of Representatives Select Committee on Intelligence, he claimed with no evidence that President Trump intended to withhold aid to Ukraine unless it re-opened a corruption investigation into the controversial energy company Burisma Holdings, where Joe Biden's son Hunter served on the board.


...

Sondland registered as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), a law first passed in 1938 dictating how foreign agents and representatives are supposed to lobby American politicians compared to non-foreign lobbyists.

In a statement shortly after his registration was revealed, Sondland tried to justify his decision while also insisting that he did not have any foreign loyalties.

"This term 'Foreign Agent.' It sounds very sinister because that's the way the FARA laws are written," said Sondland. "You're designated as a foreign agent. I'm not an agent of anyone. I haven't been asked by Ukraine or the E.U. to represent them. I'm simply having conversations that everyone has all the time with members of Congress and with members of governments of other countries to try and bridge and divide."

"My allegiance is still 100% to the United States, not to the European Union," Sondland claimed. "Unfortunately, I can't have these conversations without registering."

I'm not a foreign agent, I just have to register as a foreign agent so I can lobby US policymakers on behalf of a foreign country.

16 "This term 'Foreign Agent.' It sounds very sinister because that's the way the FARA laws are written," said Sondland. "You're designated as a foreign agent. I'm not an agent of anyone. I haven't been asked by Ukraine or the E.U. to represent them. I'm simply having conversations that everyone has all the time with members of Congress and with members of governments of other countries to try and bridge and divide."

"My allegiance is still 100% to the United States, not to the European Union," Sondland claimed. "Unfortunately, I can't have these conversations without registering."

I like his subtle implication that although he registered as a foreign agent of Ukraine, he isn't *really* working for Ukraine, but rather the EU.

Could even be true. Or power of "and." Whatever. I don't really care, to be honest, because it's all just so transparent and laughable.

87 ‘Remorseless’ Sam Bankman-Fried sentenced to 25 years in prison — as judge rips him as power-obsessed scammer

A Manhattan judge ripped Sam Bankman-Fried as a “remorseless” scammer obsessed with political power as he sentenced the fallen crypto mogul to 25 years in prison Thursday — five months after he was found guilty of stealing more than $8 billion of funds from customers of his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

Judge Lewis Kaplan said the 32-year-old convicted fraudster “presented himself as the good guy” all in favor of “appropriate regulation of the crypto industry” — but it was just an “act.”

What would she have done by now? Probably been able to impeach the president, have it stick and then gone after every member of his cabinet and staff.

By now, Pelosi would likely be in the White House. Had the roles been reversed. Thankfully that's not the case.

But she's ruthless enough to have done it. And had the backing of her ideologically aligned party. Which Republicans don't have.

"Is there a Second Baptist Church?"


Yes. The church that gave our scout troop the bum's rush in 2012 because "not gay" was a former Second Baptist Church. "Northern and independent baptists, we are", they said, and then they changed their name and affiliation. Packed to the gills with hypocrites, that place was, and some truly loathesome and backstabbing individuals were among its members.

Ace of Spades HQ isn't listed! They're gatekeeping their audience! Since Feb 2020, they list these as the major losers of traffic: Twitchy (-93%), The Federalist (-91%), Washington Times (-89%), Western Journal (-84%) and the Drudge Report (-81%) compared to lesser Lefty losses Daily Kos (-4%), Slate (-42%), and The Daily Beast (-45%).

I regularly cruise the Freepers to see what's going on in their small minds. Postings seem to have dropped a lot, very few championing tRump

Stats might be misleading. Reich wing audiences are volatile now; many say Fox is too liberal. They shift around a lot. They are deep into "dems gonna steal it" funks. But surprisingly there are quite a number of anti-tRump posts. Even posts highlighting tRump's criminality.

256 Drudge Report was indirectly bought by a google oligarch.

Basically the oligarch created a new ad service and offered Drudge a sweet deal to switch with the requirement that he hand over editorial control to the oligarch. And he did.

He retired to FL with his boyfriend and the last I saw admitted to having no control over the content of "his" site anymore.

As Squatting Epidemic Turns Lethal in Blue Jurisdictions, DeSantis Signs a Bill Ending All "Squatters Rights" in Florida, Period

The Bee:

desantistooaccomplished.jpg


The left is denying that squatting -- drug-abusing unemployed no-accounts moving themselves into your house, and then calling the cops on you when you attempt to remove them -- is no big deal at all.

Judd Legum
@JuddLegum

10. And the squatting hysteria is a distraction from the actual housing crisis, which a lack of affordable homes.

These people are drug-addicted layabouts. They have no income, except what they get from stealing law-abiding citizens' property.

When you say there's a "lack of afforable homes," of course you mean a lack of free homes.

There are a lot of cheap digs. These people do not want to work. They want to steal entire homes from people who do work.

John Stossell reports that this epidemic was caused by blue cities passing "tenant protection" laws that forbade property owners from evicting them even if they failed to pay rent for years and years. This law also empowered squatters to just break into homes and declare that they, too, were non-rent-paying tenants with a right to permanently occupy other people's homes.

The situation is so bad in California that vigilante squatter-eviction squads have formed to kick the squatters out. Technically these people are breaking the law, because California law says the squatters are the rightful occupants of the homes they squat in.

Hey Keith Ellison -- maybe we should go after the real criminals, the actual owners of the homes who make their homes too tempting not to steal.

Oh yeah -- that's exactly what blue cities are doing already.

Squatters were occupying a NYC apartment. The actual owner came to the apartment to clean it up.

The squatters beat her to death.

Recently, Nadia Vitel, a 52-year-old woman from Spain, traveled to NYC to clean out her late mother's apartment. She found squatters in her mother's home and they beat Vitel to death.


Remember, this is just "hysteria."

Ron DeSantis, who you might have noticed is one hell of a problem-solver ("More of a problem-eliminator," as James Bond said), decided that the squatter outbreaks of LA and NYC would not be coming to Florida.

He just ended "squatter's rights" in the state of Florida.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs bill eliminating squatters' rights in the state

In this video, DeSantis says that illegal aliens are posting videos telling other criminals how to steal someone's property and legally take it over.

Once again, he's not lying. The same Illegal Alien Influencer who said he had not snuck across the border to work, but to go on a permanent vacation -- on the backs of US taxpayers paying welfare for his infant anchor-baby daughter, who he called his "gold mine" -- is now advising illegal aliens in how to execute legal home invasions.

Although this filthy freeloading criminal is now officially an "absconder" from INS, no one is trying to arrest him and deport him:

Moreno was waved into the United States, given papers and a place to stay, provided food stamps and a monthly stipend, and begged on the street, making $1000/day. At least that is what he claims.

...

He is listed as an "absconder," but despite posting videos that show exactly where he is, nobody is interested in finding and deporting him. Instead, he is allowed to give instructions to migrants on how to steal homes from Americans.

@realchrisrufo

It's worth stating the obvious: Conservatives identified a legitimate problem--squatters depriving homeowners of their fundamental right to property--and DeSantis immediately solved it. No fanfare, no bloviating, no fundraising emails. Just: "Problem solved. Next up."

21 "These people are drug-addicted layabouts. They have no income, except what they get from stealing law-abiding citizens' property."

Actually Ace, many do have income: income they get from "tenants" they turn around and rent spaces in the squatted home to. You'll be shocked to learn these "tenants" are often drug dealers and prostitutes. You can see some of them in the videos. Tell me those girls aren't prostitutes.

22 This law also empowered squatters to just break into homes and declare that they, too, were non-rent-paying tenants with a right to permanently occupy other people's homes.

Which is so astounding that it cannot be considered an "oversight."

A tenant has a lease or some kind of agreement. It may be in breach, but it is - or was - there at some point. Not demanding some kind of agreement as evidence was so stupid it had to have been on purpose.

23 The situation is so bad in California that vigilante squatter-eviction squads have formed to kick the squatters out. Technically these people are breaking the law, because California law says the squatters are the rightful occupants of the homes they squat in.


The "legal" ones counter-squat. An armed burly man with a lease from the owner, watches and waits for the squatters to leave for any reason and then breaks in and squats the house himself.

I think it is pure genius.

Yes. This. The problem isn't so much squatters rights -- although that is a problem -- but tenant rights.

What happens even in most squatting situations is that the squatters fake up a lease and claim they had a deal with the prior owner or whoever. When the cops show up, the squatters show the cops the lease. It then becomes a housing court issue. You can take away all the "squatters rights" laws in the world, but you'll still have the situation of scammers showing fake leases.

And it's very easy to fake a lease. Most residential leases are basically forms anyway. Just download a for and plug in your name. Done.

And then the courts will challenge that it is actually your signature.

This will lead to, for example, a demonstrable policy of having all lease agreements notarized. Add yet more "compliance costs" to everything.

80 Squatters "rights" or adverse possession was a useful process at one time, but that's long, long past. It goes back to Roman times and was mostly associated with farming and food production. Due to various diseases and wars, many farms sat vacant due to the occupants perishing from disease or violence. In order to keep the farms in operation, they allowed individuals to step in and get the farm up and running again.

Of course it has since been given all kinds of legal "justifications" and protections as well as new names (adverse possession)...and taken on a whole different purpose (laziness).

Then Gray Davis and the disastrous “F your freedom” governator…. And by the time I moved away Hairgel Newsom was guv. In that time it went from being a purple state to a one-party state where the Dems in charge are more left wing crazy than you can imagine. I still can’t quite wrap my head how it went down the drain so quickly, but I will say that the CA GOP had something to do with it…

Police won’t help you clear obvious B&E perps / trespassers from your property, much less arrest them.

BUT- if someone steals a car, they will chase the thief to the ends of the earth, endanger the lives of a multitude of innocent bystanders, wreck and destroy the stolen vehicle and possibly kill the thief.

I bet if they were allowed to SWAT all squatters and destroy your house, they would be all-in on squatter removal then.

124 I was a real estate agent for a number of years and pretty successful at it. People often asked why I didn't own property. I would tell them the story about how I went to housing court once for a client. There were a number of RE agents there waiting fortheir turn in court. One I knew told me he was there because a tenant had punched him out and the court wouldn't let him evict him. That is just one of many sad stories I could tell. The worst are the ones where a compassionate landlord rents to someone in need and then that person totally f's them.

128 Portland's Democratic Socialists of America got a measure on the ballot to provide "free" legal representation to tenants and squatters in real-estate disputes. This would have been paid by a first-in-the-nation county capital gains tax.

Amazingly, the measure lost in a landslide, but it shows the direction that the Left is moving in.

The attitude of the Portland authorities is that any dispute between squatters and property owners is a civil commercial dispute, and getting rid of the squatters is your problem.

That has been tried, and for a while LL posted executed leases on public real estate dockets like ACRIS. But it was viewed as a pain in the ass, had no real legal significance, and both LL and tenants didn't really want the terms and identities of the leases open to the public. So I don't think anyone does that any more. But the idea of a requirement that actual enforceable leases get recorded somewhere isn't a bad one -- although it's yet more government involvement in private transactions.

Second is the guy who transferred title to his mother, signed a lease with her, waited until the squatters left, busted in, threw their shit on the lawn and waited for the cops.

He then produced the filed deed showing the owner and an original of a signed lease saying he was the legal tenant.
At that point, the cops can arrest the squatters for trespassing.
Cheaper and faster than eviction.

It's from the common law, and squatting CAN make some sense.

If there's a property not being used and you turn it to productive use, I can see society wanting to reward that- the person who USES the property gets ownership. The premise is to avoid people locking up properties and never using them.

And, once the billionaires buy up all the property in the U.S. and herd people into the "15 minute cities", we might want that law back, too. (But they'll have long since ended it, anyway.)

160 No, Sid. If you don't want squatters, arrest squatters and put them in jail and seize their property (if any) to pay restitution, then put a lien on their post-prison earnings until restitution is made - with interest.

That would put a dent in it.

It isn't many. Believe it or not most squatters are well organized. They will have the local police on speed dial and when they arrive the police are forced to admit that it is a Civil matter for the Civil Courts and have no jurisdiction. They can only intervene if there is obvious evidence of a crime (such as a broken window to get in etc.).

Posted by: Orson at March 28, 2024 12:24 PM (dIske)

163 Yes. This. The problem isn't so much squatters rights -- although that is a problem -- but tenant rights.

What happens even in most squatting situations is that the squatters fake up a lease and claim they had a deal with the prior owner or whoever. When the cops show up, the squatters show the cops the lease. It then becomes a housing court issue. You can take away all the "squatters rights" laws in the world, but you'll still have the situation of scammers showing fake leases.

And it's very easy to fake a lease. Most residential leases are basically forms anyway. Just download a for and plug in your name. Done.

This is correct. It's not the "squatting" issue which are actually very difficult to prove and generally take YEARS of use to assert, but Tenant rights.

_______

Squatter and "adverse possession" laws once made sense. They originated 100s of years ago when a lot of land was available and some was deeded to someone who abandoned it, moved away or died, leaving the land technically owned but not being used. Someone else coming on the land and actually using it eventually become the owner. But even then, the period required was like 20 years. Not this 30-day shit.

Yes, but there are a non-trivial number of empty properties that are listed because the owner had to move for work or whatever.

And they aren't that hard to find. Just go to Zillow and look around. The ones where interiors are empty or "virtually staged" are unoccupied. Look for the ones on the market for three months or longer, not under contract, few or zero price cuts. That's your target. It's trivial.

The genuine ones got sidelined and pushed out.

The fakers climbed into leadership and abandoned their principles while saying the right things during election season.

However, the change is slowly happening (the ejection of McCarthy is a sign of that), mostly because the GOPe keeps shooting itself in the foot. How do you retain power within the party if you get 40 of your most loyal footsoldiers in Congress to resign in 2018?

Essentially, Congress is still fucked, but slightly less fucked than before. It'd be better to expect DC just got removed from our reality by interdimensional beings than for Congress to start being remotely conservative, though.

225 On a regular basis folks in my childhood home town post plaintive cries of, "Why doesn't someone build lower cost, affordable housing here for less affluent persons and families?"

I am fast approaching the point of putting some truth to them with a response, "Because they do not want you there."


The town next to mine is having a vote on a *massive* tax increase. A number of people have come forward saying they literally can't afford the higher rates.

The response from the oh so compassionate leftists pushing the tax increase? Then sell and movie.

245 Squatter and "adverse possession" laws once made sense. They originated 100s of years ago when a lot of land was available and some was deeded to someone who abandoned it, moved away or died, leaving the land technically owned but not being used. Someone else coming on the land and actually using it eventually become the owner. But even then, the period required was like 20 years. Not this 30-day shit.

289 There was a funny case a few years ago in Berkeley.

Berkeley, of course, has the country's most draconian rent control and tenant laws - it is routine to have to pay tenants five figures to get them to move out.

However, you have a lot of professors leaving town or coming into town for a year or two for a visiting professorship or whatever, so there is a nationwide network for house rentals and swaps for academics who need a place for a year or two.

So, a left-wing Berkeley academic rented out her house for a year to a left-wing visiting academic, who promptly decided that he was going to stay in Berkeley, and was just going to stay in the house indefinitely.

Not much the left-wing Berkeley academic could do about that. I'm not sure how that was resolved, but I bet it involved the payment of a substantial amount of money.

308 So, a left-wing Berkeley academic rented out her house for a year to a left-wing visiting academic, who promptly decided that he was going to stay in Berkeley, and was just going to stay in the house indefinitely.

Not much the left-wing Berkeley academic could do about that. I'm not sure how that was resolved, but I bet it involved the payment of a substantial amount of money.

Washington, which always like to top CA in idiocy institued rules that a landlord can't evict a tenant during winter. It will shock you to learn that many tenants simply stop paying rent in November. And by the time the landlord can even start evictions in April, they will have lived for free for 1/2 a year. And then it takes several more months for the eviction to actually happen.

And even more shockingly after this was implemented a bunch of landlords said fuck this and took their homes out of the rental pool. Which drove up rents and hurt the honest tenants who pay their rent on time.

Who could have POSSIBLY foreseen any of these unintended consequences?

309 298 Florida would have been ripe for the squatters. Many homes are "second homes", left unoccupied part of the year.

314 The left really is a minority. They just have very very loud bullhorns. DeSantis realized that if he ignored the bullhorns, the people were actually behind what he needed to do. He stood there while they fired all their ammunition and at the end was still standing there unscathed. The Disney situation is the perfect example. Can't say Gay. This didn;t work either. Gettingrid of Woke in colleges. He succeeded at that even with the entire Ed establishment going after him. If these stupid politicians would only realize that the People are ready to get rid of DEI, Transmania, unfettered immigration etc we would have actual change. The Left is a MINORITY.

I have never understood how anyone can say someone that actually owns a property can't kick you out. The dynamic should be the tenant has to prove why they can stay, not the other way around. The NY case was sickening. I have heard of blue state people going through similar bullshit. To the point where they either pay them a ransom to leave (because it's cheaper than lawyers) or they hire goons to rough them up.

Would not want to own rentals anymore. These little shits these days know how to work the legal system and get off on making their landlord miserable.

Posted by: Blago at March 28, 2024 12:47 PM (wMRY8)

321 @84 I never will understand how on earth anybody can acquire somebody else's property by law just by taking it over as circumstances dictate per state.

--------

It makes sense in certain circumstances. For instance, if I squat in an empty home, and after ten years the owner has never had anyone check on the status of the property, there's an argument to be made that the home has been abandoned, and the title owner might not even be aware that he or she ever had a claim to the property. By squatting, I put an otherwise "wasted" property back into use. That's just one example. There are others.

Squatting in such circumstances was recognized under English Common Law, and each state has different laws on the subject. But up until recently, those laws required a long-term (i.e. at least a decade) unchallenged habitation. The stuff that's being pulled now is nothing like the traditional legal form of squatting.

354 I used to own a number of rental properties. No longer.

My lawyer told me many years ago that the landlord tenant code that prevails in my jurisdiction is written so as to favor deadbeat tenants and sleazy landlords.

If you are a tenant whose landlord does not complete repairs and simply could care less, you have big problems. Just as does the landlord who has tenants that know the game and could care less.

I did have a deadbeat tenant (a skilled carpenter BTW who was not broke) who simply wouldn't pay his rent for months. My assistant totally coincidentally overheard him bragging to some friends about how he knew the game is played and that he had me over a barrel.

That afternoon I had his windows boarded while he was out and the door padlocked. When he called to protest I told him tough luck, pal, take me to court. It will take months and guess what, I have more money, better lawyers, and I'm going to make your life miserable.

It took months. In the end I received some compensation in court, but was reprimanded by the magistrate, who told me, "You know better, don't do it again."

This was circa 1995. Wouldn't recommend that course of action, but I enjoyed it then.

God knows it's a legitimate issue, & it has the public's attention right now. Everybody who reads about squatters gets a creeping dread of them moving into their deceased parents' home.

Also, red states like MO haven't done squat about squatters (pun intended). This is a state where supposedly conservative Republicans control every gd thing there is! What are they waiting for?

372 Didn’t Baltimore sell row homes for $1? Granted you have to fix them up and they probably require bullet proof vests, but home ownership provides stability and improves neighborhoods, right? Also Detroit? Get that hammer a hammering!
Posted by: Piper

The problem with those "$1 houses" in Detroit is usually all the copper plumbing and wiring is gone. The roof is usually shot, leaking water everywhere, and mold is pervasive. Most of those houses should be bulldozed.
The danger is not necessarily living in parts of Detroit, it is knowing when to avoid all the illegal drug-dealing and the armed people that engage in it. There are neighborhood in Detroit that this goes on in broad daylight.

And there's a "Gentleman's Club" called "Ace of Spades" on the south side of 8 Mile Road, which is the border between Detroit and Warren, Michigan.

>>In MO, it's only 10 years before a squatter can make an adverse possession claim.

If the squatter is not paying any of the property taxes then he should not be able to make any claim on the property regardless of how long they have been on the land.

There is relatively little untaxed land in this country and subsequently, the person paying the tax is the owner of the land, period.

The neighbors (mostly black folks) love these guys, because they take run down houses, fix them up, and keep the neighborhood from sliding down even worse...making their lives kind of a hell.
I don't know about them selling any houses for $160K, but they have rebuilt some houses and made a tidy profit. And they rebuilt one house and decided to make it theirs, and moved in.
They haven't found any dead bodies (yet) in any of the abandoned houses, but that is usually where dead bodies are dumped, in abandoned houses. Some of the houses were in REALLY bad shape.

416 "Squatting" was interpreted somewhat differently in the 19th century; congressman D. Crockett was a champion of what was then called "squatters' rights." A lot of land had tenuous ownership in the first US federal grants. A lot was held loosely by speculators who could not pay a tax, and were waiting for a windfall. And a lot of political connections were in play.

Let's pretend that these data are passingly accurate, even though we all know that the number of illegals is far higher than any census measures.

It is still a catastrophe, and will be the end of America as we know it if it continues.

Of course I am a racist. And a bigot. And a White Supremacist. And a Christian Nationalist. And any other silly pejorative that the left uses to describe people who have emotional connections to American Exceptionalism, Western culture, and the incredible success of Judeo-Christian philosophy.

Now that we have gotten the obligatory ad hominem out of the way...

Border Crisis Has Completely Upended Census Bureau's Population Stats, Report Says

Immigration into the U.S. has risen so rapidly that it beat out federal projections by decades, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released on Thursday.

The total number of immigrants in the U.S. rose to a record high of 51.4 million as of February 2024, representing 15.5% of the total population,according to CIS. The U.S. Census Bureau published projections in November which estimated that the share of foreign-born nationals in the U.S. would not reach 15.5% until at least 2039, making the projections “obsolete,” CIS authors Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler wrote.

The 15.5% includes both immigrants who are in the U.S. legally and those who are undocumented or are in the country illegally, according to a CIS review of the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS). Illegal migrants account for roughly 25% of the 51.4 million total number of foreign nationals currently living in the U.S., the other 75% being in the country legally.


The issue is not the color of the immigrants. The issue is their lack of dedication to the founding principles of our country. For most of our history, immigration to America was a privilege, and a very difficult one to enjoy. Getting out of Sweden or Germany or Italy or Russia or Poland or Ireland or Scotland was not easy. Getting to our shores was not easy. Creating a life in America was not easy. But it was the great unifier...everyone who came here was sent through that filter, knowing that they were expected to create a life for themselves, and to add value to the growing nation. There were no handouts, not safety nets, no government largesse. But that was the first powerful message that we were all in it together. The upside was that there were no limitations. The young Scottish immigrant who arrived on our shores in 1848 could rise to the pinnacle of the American steel industry. Or a Bavarian Jew arriving in in 1847 could create Levi Strauss. Or a Viennese beauty, with brains to match, could arrive in 1937 and become a movie star and an inventor!

The list goes on forever. We are at least in part a nation of immigrants, but the dynamic has changed, and the drive to come here is purely economic and self-serving in a way that is new and destructive. Instead of desiring the economic, social and political freedom that America offers, our new immigrants come for the money...our money! Legal immigration is a drop in the bucket compared to the flood of illegals pouring into the country. Those legal immigrants are playing by the rules, but many are still arriving for the looting of our treasuries rather than the desire to create...to belong...to build.

What is the answer? Obviously we must close our borders to the lawbreakers who come to loot and pillage. But sadly we must also close the legal methods of becoming an American. That system is broken, and absent a compelling reason, complete with financial resources that guarantee that the immigrant is not a ward of the state, Americas gates must be shut.

For a generation? Probably. Until we have two consecutive conservative federal governments that are serious about closing the border and driving out the invaders by making it economically impossible for them to squat here, we cannot afford the luxury of immigration of any type.

It is a simple task, but requires political fortitude and the support of the country.

1. Close the border.
2. Make the employment of an illegal alien a felony, with jail time and huge fines.
3. Tax outgoing funds to the top 10 countries that supply illegals.
4. Require positive identification for all taxpayer transfer payments and services.

What else? That covers most of the issues. Will there be problems? Sure. But we have no choice.

This is the existential problem of our lifetimes.

When we resurrect the Constitution, I think we should add what I call a "no-public-dole" amendment. That is, the Federal government cannot give money to individuals except as salaries, payment for goods received and services performed, and as compensation for a taking. Also, a court-ordered judgment if it is found liable in a lawsuit. AND THAT'S IT.

You're not really asking, right?
Muslims will stay and try and take over using the US Constitution to subvert the US Constitution, because it is written into their belief system (politics of murder and mayhem masquerading as a religion).

When they have a certain percentage (I've read 15%) they will start implementing Sharia law. They already are far along in the EU and England.
Bringing the muslims in wholesale as the Dems are currently will get to that 15% soon.

Instead of a party run by chiseling, lazy mercantilists, grifting from the government, conservative only as to taxes on them.

Consider what the state of immigration would be if they ran actual outreach efforts to Hispanics--in Spanish--not just exposing the moral evil that the Democrats are, but real conservative positions.
The border will be sealed tight when, and only when, Hispanics start voting for Republicans.

Trump is reaching them. And they hate him for it.

That is, the Federal government cannot give money to individuals except as salaries, payment for goods received and services performed, and as compensation for a taking. Also, a court-ordered judgment if it is found liable in a lawsuit. AND THAT'S IT.

88 1. Close the border.
2. Make the employment of an illegal alien a felony, with jail time and huge fines.
3. Tax outgoing funds to the top 10 countries that supply illegals.
4. Require positive identification for all taxpayer transfer payments and services.

++++
I'd modify point 3, and expand it.

Tax remittances, but do so to *all* countries in our hemisphere except Canada - the *one* country that is not (yet) a conduit for or source of illegal aliens. Collective punishment. The entire region can get its shit together and knock it off, or the entire region will be punished for it. Make them turn on each other. Chile and Argentina are not big sources of the problem, but if the spigots get cut off, they're sure going to get pissed at - and apply pressure to - Guatemala and Venezuela and Mexico.

And make that tax punitive, say 75% of all sums under $100,000. Business transfers - which will tend to be big - can proceed. Some cartel transfers will slip through, too. But overall, the final end-recipient value of remittances will collapse under a punitive tax rate. So make it punitive, and apply to *everyone* in the hemisphere until the behavior changes.

He is being an arrogant ass about some code he wrote. The code worked beautifully for 2 sets of data but something is not right on the 3rd dataset and he is refusing to even acknowledge the problem. Once the clue bat finally connects his brain he can probably fix whatever is the issue; he is pretty smart but I hate when he gets all autistic and refuses to look at plots and see that there is an issue.

162 "The issue is not the color of the immigrants. The issue is their lack of dedication to the founding principles of our country."

Ok, I'll be the one to say it: it's the same fucking thing. It is the issue of the color of skin. Not in a racist way but in a reality way. The most troublesome immigrants -- legal and illegal -- are from countries with histories and values completely alien to ours. And those countries are overwhelmingly home to swarthy people.

And it's not just the poor Hispanics or blacks. It's the affluent tech (dot) Indians. It's the Muslim Africans coming to study here. Literally every darker-skinned immigrant is a problem, regardless of their skills or income level. They are coming from completely alien political and economic systems, and are bringing that dysfunctional (mosty commie) shit here.

I've been trying to find that line online with little success. When the memo has been quoted in MSM online articles, it's missing (I finally found it at thehill.com dated 3/26). That's a tell. Everything else in the memo is quoted, but not the quote above.

For me, I am very much pro immigration - when done legally. I am a first generation American on my mother’s side. I don’t care about the color or the persons skin, which I get is now in and of itself racist for some dumb reason. I care the person wants to come and build a life, do something worthwhile, believes in American exceptionalism in their heart. I honestly wonder if those on the left are excited they have gotten so many in Europe to believe their garbage and hate America. So now those pouring in illegally are just not any country’s best.

Seems it took the word, immigrant, and twisted it so it's all inclusive covering both legal and illegal immigration.

(The White nationalists just hate the current immigrants, our New Americans. They don't look or act like them, nor have not had their advantages. It was OK for their families to immigrant to the USA in the past but it's not been OK for those coming afterwards, especially those who are POC. But those people are global citizens, part of civil society, and this is the United States a beacon of Democracy.)

Ask the pols to explain the difference between Temporary Protected Status; Special Student Relief for Students; Dreamer status; Statelessness and TPS; actual Refugee status numbers; actual Asylee status numbers; Humanitarian Parole & what nations have been granted it & what it does and won't provide to participants, and current benefits available to ALL above through a sundry of US programs. Ask when statuses can change, i.e., families have children born in the US, etc. They couldn't. But they know redistribution.

60 Love this. Waugh really captured the color of an ocean storm, sky and water, and the ever shifting movement of the waves as they approach the shore and recede from the rocks. His style is realistic enough to accurately show the scene but still painterly, leaving room for the viewer's imagination. Don't know about inland folks, but as someone who grew up on a rocky coast it's easy to hear the wind and water of a storm, feel the force of the wind and the salty, moist air.

Also a paperback edition of Nevil Shute's No Highway, the basis for that fantastic British film with James Stewart, No Highway in the Sky. It'll be neat to compare the novel to the film.

He was born a little too late to be a star of TV and movie Westerns the way Steve McQueen, James Arness, and James Garner were. On the other hand, that means he's around now (or at least was recently) to star in the few Westerns being made.

He did play John D. MacDonald's character Travis McGee in a TV-movie/pilot in the Eighties. They changed Trav's houseboat to a sailing vessel and took a lot of other liberties -- I think this was after John D. himself was gone and couldn't see what they'd done. I've never watched it. Elliot would have been good casting if they'd stuck to the original material.

207 Of course Red Dwarf is top drawer.

It has a sentient cat as a main character.
--------
The Cat actor also played a cop in the black comedy Murder in Paradise and there was one scene where he was getting ready for a big date and he was primping himself in front of the mirror just like the Cat. I had to pause Play for 5 minutes until I could control myself. I explained to my mom watching it with me that the actor had played a very vain character in another comedy and that was how he got ready for a date as well.

Sanders as a young man has always reminded me, at least regarding his profile, of the young Robert Vaughn. GS was, I believe, the only actor ever to return as a guest on U.N.C.L.E. playing the same villain character. It was rather neat to see them together, even though GS was quite a bit older than RV.

Mr. Goldenberg’s hands were still on the table, his head erect on his powerful shoulders. He was not a big man, not much taller than Lavalle. But for an instant Marie imagined that only a massive effort of will kept him from seizing Lavalle and breaking the man in half. Goldenberg’s next words came as a snarl that made Marie shiver.

Plain large coffee was $2.20 when I first started going there around 2020/2021. Today it’s $2.95 Never a big jump, just small increments of 10-20 cents.

Another one is a McChicken. Used to be $2.49 not long ago, maybe 3 years. Now it’s $4.19.

The Morning Report — 3/28/24

hitlerblamesharpjen.jpg

Good morning, kids. The loud, incessant geschrei following the hiring and almost-immediate firing of former RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel by NBC in the grand scheme of things is not so much important as it is quite instructive. For one thing, it seems to have deflected quite a bit of the spotlight that was shining on the disaster of Baltimore's Key Bridge destruction. I think it's safe to assume that if this disappears entirely within the next couple of news cycles without any kind of definitive and independently verifiable proof of exactly what happened, a true timeline of events and the complete backstory and bios of everyone involved on the ship and controlling its movements from shore – as is my suspicion – then the truth will have been deemed way too embarrassing and damaging for Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, especially this close to November.

And, as is the case, November is both always a million years away and just around the corner. Whether incompetence, criminal sabotage, terrorism by non-state actors or a covert act of war by perhaps the ChiComs or Russians, or even just some bizarre freak accident, that something of this magnitude could have even happened in the first place does not bode well for a whole host of reasons.

Psaki-psircling (and isn't that appropriate) back to Ronna McDaniel, it's quite revealing about the nature of the enemy we face. When you get right down to it, there is very little difference between her and say Michael Steele and Nicole Wallace. Whoever it was at the top of NBC who offered her the gig in the first place understood that. He also understood, like we all do, that McDaniel, nee ROMNEY, was at best an inept fool and at worst yet another RINO saboteur who helped turn what was supposed to have been a massive tsunami of a red wave 2022 midterm into Crisco Christie's innie of a squirt gun micturating a cantaloupe-sized-prostate-constricted stream onto the Rock of Gibraltar.

Whatever Trump's calculus in backing her as RNC chair was in the first place, for sure today there is no love lost (See the sidebar) between either of them. She for sure would have eagerly joined the Greek chorus of Trump is literally Hitler, Trump must be stopped at all costs, Trump is the greatest danger to our precious democracy, etc. ad nauseam, and probably in a voice that ultimately would've drowned out even that of the horrendous Nicole Wallace and equally scummy Michael Steele.

Yet, despite all of the positives (in their eyes) she could have brought to the Goebbelsian NBC and MSNSDAP in being a supposed "reasonable, rational Republican," that is a back-stabbing lying slag propagandist, the usual gang of idiots, homunculi, mental defectives and Marxist criminals that compose the lineup at that whorehouse network (and every other whorehouse network and rag out there) went into freakout mode. On the surface it was because McDaniel supposedly supported Trump's right to protest the outcome of the 2020 election. That in and of itself is a mortal sin, but the real objection was her being merely associated with Trump, period.

Forget being associated with McCain, Bush or perhaps even Ronald Reagan. How quickly they and every Republican regardless of their Constitutional conservative bona fides or more likely lack thereof were slimed as racist, homophobic Nazis who want to throw granny off a cliff and take food out of the mouths of starving children. When Trump came along, oh how the propagandists pined for the days of yore and heaped praise on all of the aforementioned GOP Emanuel Goldsteins du jour because Trump was and still is "literally Hitler."

Believe me, I'm no defender of Ronna McDaniel because as you process all of that, she jumped at the chance to have a fat salary by joining the likes of some of the most horrid individuals imaginable so she too could bash Trump and the MAGA movement on one of the biggest Leftist house organs around. Frankly, she can go jump in a lake. What happened to her, as I stated is quite instructive as to the state of mind of the enemy. Whether she'd have been an effective Lady Haw-Haw is now academic.

The reaction to her hiring and the demanding that she be fired might very well be yet another own-goal of the Left at a most inopportune moment as the illegal alien invasion, cratering economy, national crime wave and eruption of overt Democrat Jew-hatred is already repelling even reliable Democrat voters. Many of these people already have the media in low esteem and even see them as desperately trying to help drag Biden's carcass across the finish line by covering up his criminality and melting brain.

By the way, I don't call them MSNSDAP for nothing:

Once a pariah for his role in inciting anti-Semitic riots that lynched two innocent people, and the torching of Freddie’s Fashion Mart, a Harlem store owned by a Jew whom Sharpton referred to as a “white interloper” in which 7 people were burned to death, all of them “of color,” Sharpton was resurrected by Barack Obama as his “civil rights” adviser and accepted into the Democrat fold as the party’s kingmaker. . . Without the support of Sharpton and his racist admirers, Comcast would not have been able to gain control of NBC and so it’s hardly surprising that it streams the worst lies and hate by the worst bigots as a payback for the series of dirty deals that made Roberts so rich and powerful.

During Sharpton’s lobbying for the Comcast deal, MSNBC denied that there was an offer to give the notorious racial arsonist his own show, only to debut it a few months later. Comcast not only gave Sharpton a show, but included the head of his racist National Action Network in its “diversity council.” Sharpton in turn gave MSNBC boss Phil Griffin an award after previously handing it to Jeff Zucker, who ran NBC at the time, before going off to run CNN.

Alongside Joy Reid and Sharpton, MSNBC regularly features the unhinged Elie Mystal, who said that the United States “Constitution is trash” and bragged, “you come out as a Republican, I’m prejudiced against you”, Tiffany Cross, who argued that the media focusing on the economic concerns of midwesterners was pandering to “racist white people”, Melissa Harris-Perry, who claimed that the term “hard work” is racist, and a seemingly bottomless list of bigots.

MSNBC doesn’t just employ vile racists like Reid and Sharpton who smear our country and promote hate, but also foreign enemy propagandists like Ayman Mohyeldin, formerly of Qatar’s Al Jazeera, who defended the Islamic terrorist state during the World Cup by attacking America. . . MSNBC’s decision to turn itself into Al Jazeera by stocking it with the Jihadist network’s leftovers has led to constant incitement and antisemitic propaganda at its 24/7 hate network. . .

. . . These lies, smears and slurs, like many others, come down to one company, Comcast, and one man, Brian L. Roberts. Comcast is a family business and Brian was born into it. “I think we have known that Brian would take over the company since he was about eight years old,” its co-founder admitted. At 30, he did just that and took the company from cable to content.

Unlike his father, Brian was not satisfied just providing cable access and was obsessed with taking control of programming. After a failed bid to take over Disney, he bought NBC.

MSNBC had begun purging its conservative personalities in a leftist makeover even before the Comcast takeover, but the process accelerated rapidly as talks began. And Comcast bought support for the takeover by handing out money to racists and their hate groups. . .

. . . When challenged about [Ali] Velshi’s lies at a shareholder meeting and asked to condemn Antifa, Roberts retorted that, “racism, injustice, violence have no place and cannot be tolerated.”

But the racism was coming from his personal hate network.

Roberts is not a brilliant businessman, he’s a savvy political donor. Comcast got as big and powerful as it did because it adopted the right politics and paid off the right people.

In 2020, Roberts’ wife provided $152,800 to fund the Biden campaign. But that was small change compared to the millions raised by Comcast’s chief lobbyist for Obama whom Biden has appointed as the ambassador to Canada. Roberts took to golfing with Obama and hosting him on Martha’s Vineyard. And even that money was dwarfed by the subsidies from the tax-free Comcast Foundation. . .

. . . Comcast is a corrupt company that pushes hate for profit. And Brian L. Roberts, who got the job because of his daddy, has used it to tear apart this country and reward the worst and most divisive bigots.

Despite the Jewish origins of the Roberts family, Brian Roberts has overseen a company that spreads the worst lies emanating from the terrorist propaganda machines of Hamas and the PLO. The anti-Semitic chorus at MSNBC, posing as journalists, promotes the worst smears against Israel and Jews in America.

The story of Comcast, like the tragic tale of so many other major and increasingly international companies, is that of powerful corporations turning on their own roots, on the country and the people that made them possible.

And that my friends, as the estimable Daniel Greenfield details, is the real story of the Ronna Romney McDaniel clusterfuck. They're incredibly stupid, but their stupidity is driven by their blinkered insularity. They could've just shut their cakeholes and accepted McDaniel as one of their own but in actually believing their own horrid propaganda about Trump, and by extension anyone associated with him, they've exposed themselves as the rabidly insane hacks that they are. This indicates to me that it's not just an act; they've literally lost their minds.

Part of it, of course, is the fact that despite all their efforts and despite the efforts of a completely corrupt legal system, and really because of the disaster that has been the past three years of Obama and company pulling Biden's strings, Trump actually does have a shot at really winning this thing come November.

RFK Jr.'s selection of an equally hardcore leftist as his running mate is sure to take votes away from both disaffected radical lefties who think Biden is too soft on Israel and the American citizenry, and whatever is left of the Democrat base that is not Maoist. The votes he might take away from Trump are going to be statistically, if not actually nil.

The unhinged reaction to Ronna McDaniel is also a warning that things are going to get very dangerous both to Trump and all of us as November nears. Friend and friend of the blog Bob Zimmerman has some dire prognostications and I can honestly and sadly say, he's not wrong:

For my entire life I have devoutly wished to see some willingness on the left to honestly debate and participate in an open exchange of ideas. In my entire life I have never found them willing to do so.

Instead, that close-mindedness has driven them further and further into a crazy hole that brooks no dissent, because their positions have become increasingly irrational and indefensible. You can’t win a debate if you are arguing that men can be women, you support the castration and mutilation of little children, and that terrorists like Hamas are the good guys. Your only solution if these are your positions is to shut down all debate, so you can force these policies on everyone, even if almost everyone opposes you.

We have now reached this point in history, and the only way out for the left appears to be violence and the destruction of our constitutional republic.

Read it all. Just 24 years ago, we were all laughing at "Sore-Loserman" i.e. Gore-Lieberman. Al Gore is a bloated grifter. Joe Lieberman, who has now passed on, was probably the last of the last of the reasonable Democrats and liberals which one could debate. I disagreed with him most of the time on most issues. But he was a decent human being, insofar as one can be decent in the indecent enterprise of politics.

Meh, perhaps I'm looking back at what I perceive as halcyon days, especially compared to the present. But Democrat policy has always been a cancer on America as founded, regardless of how "nice" the Democrat politician in question was.

That said, I stand by my assertion yesterday that today's Democrats and their supporters are the greatest threat by far to what's left of America and whatever our chances are at a revival. You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists. Had Lieberman lived, he might've jumped ship considering what the Democrats are doing to Israel. As it is, he remained silent since 10/7.

Or MSNSDAP and the rest of the propaganda organs embargoed him.

20 My personal takeaway from the Ronna McDaniel kerfuffle is that the inmates over at MSLSD are running the show. They've more or less come out as the final arbiter of who can and can't join their "club."

I doubt it. MSNBC is not credible to anyone who is not already bewitched by Party loyalty and so this is a bit embarrassing but nothing more.

Where it might - but only might - be a slightly larger deal is on the phony right. The phony right - the "legitimate" professional right that makes up the entire establishment and are members of the Party - expects to be treated like people by the Party. After all, they loyal to the Party.

But they can only be Outer Party. They are not truly of the body. All of the sinecures, book deals, think tank chairs, etc. on which they depend are provided at the Inner Party's sole discretion, and the Outer Party only continues to draw breath at the Inner Party's sufferance. The Inner Party giveth, and the Inner Party taketh away. The GOP are slaves owned by arbitrary masters.

Insane? No, they're intelligently lazy.

Thanks to the efforts of The Algorithm, once you're on the left yellow brick road there are no easy detours. It requires effort to see a different opinion. And expending that effort requires the consideration that a potentially valid different opinion exists. *** it doesn't... they're insane... they're evil... whispers the algorithm ***

And why would they expend that effort? Doing so would gain them nothing. They don't give a rat's ass what happens to you, me, to the country. If Psaki were to suddenly start spitting facts would the "right" accept her? Tulsi Gabbard suggests that some would, but not all.

Exactly right. In 1930's Germany, it was cool and fun to join the Auxiliary SS. You paid a fee to join and got to go to all the cool party rallies and strut around with your little "SS" button on your lapel and even play dress up once in awhile in a shiny black uniform while not really being on "active" duty. But then the war started and the call ups began. Same thing with smooth brained people today who vote or register or support the democrats. They never realize the evil they are supporting and have blood on their hands. The Purple Haired Granny who votes democrat to fatten her SS check is also killing babies as a side hustle.

73 When you have a dying tree, you can do one of a few things:
1. Fertilize it, water it, trim it, and try nurse it back to health
2. Ignore it and hope the problem goes away
3. Give up, cut it down for firewood and lumber, plant a new tree
4. Carefully excavate the tree and move it to a more salubrious environment.

The major corps are the sickly tree. They have too much debt, are too slow and have saturated their markets. Gone are the days of explosive growth. Markets are mature and innovation has slowed. When everyone already has all they want, you have to sell incremental changes instead of new paradigms. You also have to start waiting for shit to wear out to be replaced if you deal in goods.

So the executives try approaches 1 and 2 simultaneously. They try to nurse back to health - "throw AI at it and turn it into a subscription service to keep up cashflow" - and move it to a more salubrious environment, which is becoming a Party partner and getting protection.

America made them what they are, but that growth can't be maintained. Time to switch to rent-extraction and government favors from the Party.

79 A very good theory about the Dali relates to the mandate to use low sulfur diesel in ships when not at sea. Sulfur actually helps to chemically break down naturally occurring plastics in diesel grades, so a low sulfur fuel is more prone to clogging up the fuel injection system.

It may have just been another unintended consequence of government action that caused the power failure, and thus the crash of the ship.

We're so proud of how far we've come and shocked at how far we've fallen, and yet somehow we've raised generations of Americans that seem to think history starts with the day they were born and ends with *today*.

88 How can any court overrule SCOTUS?

SCOTUS didn't rule on the merits of the case, it lifted the injunction placed by the district court. Now the circuit court has placed a new injunction.

Because the courts are saying that, if the feds choose to ignore the law, the law is considered to not exist until the feds choose to turn around and notice it in YOUR case and that NO ONE may enforce anything even vaguely resembling the law. And that harm must be borne by the citizenry and the nation rather than by the criminal invaders.

And? Why is this not adequate qualification?

She seems like a near-perfect analogue of Obama. He married his power and influence when he became a kept man of the Chicago political machine and its radicals. He worked as a "community organizer" - that is, for leftist NGOs. He was literally married to a no-name but politically pure academic, and his own purity was perhaps greater.

How is she any different? He was more than qualified to win the presidency, so why isn't she qualified to be an also-ran's running mate? If anything, this is problematic only insofar as it represents a continuation of the "war on women" because the male (Obama) isn't adequate for a woman.

It's a trade name established by the Automatic Daylight Fermenter Corporation for their new invention of a sun-accelerated winemaking process and associated equipment. They filed for US Patent Protection in 1871, and delivered the product and process to the market in 1873.

There were four key elements in Auto-Da-Fe's market and subsequent corporate failure:
1. The process was largely ineffective, creating an inferior product and thus creating fairly little demand.
2. The Panic of 1873 and following Long Depression generally reduced capital outlay and risk appetite in the market at large, which affected uptake of new products and processes by businesses
3. Auto-Da-Fe itself was heavily invested in railroad bonds as a way to generate capital returns during product development, and its books were hit hard by the general decline during the Panic and its aftermath.
4. Relevant foreign markets were closed to Auto-Da-Fe, as protectionism - particularly in key winemaking regions of France, Spain and Italy - surged due to the intercontinental nature of the Panic.

IRB's grant approval to clinical research projects as long as the written consent form lists the potential complications, but does nothing about researchers who verbally downplay the known risks when they seek to have a patient participate in a study. They say things like, "We've been doing this procedure for years." and "We are required to list these complications, but they are really very minimal."

At the same time they imply that a patient is missing out on the latest and greatest if they decline to participate. This is especially insidious when they manipulate parents into consenting for their children.

179 Good morning everyone. Thank you J.J.

On Thursday of Holy Week (Maundy Thursday) the Church celebrates the three pillars of the Catholic Church instituted by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper: the priesthood, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and the Holy Eucharist. This is the traditional day for priests to gather with their bishop at the Chrism Mass, to receive oils blessed by the bishop and to publicly renew their priestly promises. In the evening the Church celebrates the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. After this Mass the altar is stripped bare and the Blessed Sacrament is removed from the Tabernacle and processed to a separate altar of repose. Here the Blessed Sacrament is adored until late in the night to commemorate the time Jesus spent in Garden of Gethsemane in agonizing prayer, the start of his Passion. The Blessed Sacrament is then taken away and hidden until the Easter Vigil in memory of Our Lord’s death and burial.

Back in the 90s I'd argue you could find some left of center people that would actually discuss politics but...not really since then.

And the current left is very open about what they are - I've seen numerous leftists argue that they have to censor us because they can't win the war of ideas if "hate" or "bigotry" is allowed to make its case.

Which is fascinating as well because the original civil rights movement won because it persuaded people it had better arguments then its opponents.

People who found businesses build them. People who follow, generally speaking, loot them. Gone are the days when you worked for a single company your whole life. Gone are the days when you were expected to have some loyalty to your company - and it to you.

The early days of personal computing caused that explosive growth. Governments changed tax models because of it. Businesses came to expect it. C-suite shitheads came to expect the payouts associated with it. And it was all ephemeral. So they changed the way that they did business to try and re-create the semblance of the thing. Go into debt to buy another company to claim that's "growth". Lay off "labor units" when the economy is down to cut costs. No understanding of the long term effects of anything.

Trump will be attending the wake as he was invited by the family.

218 Whether incompetence, criminal sabotage, terrorism by non-state actors or a covert act of war by perhaps the ChiComs or Russians, or even just some bizarre freak accident, that something of this magnitude could have even happened in the first place does not bode well for a whole host of reasons.

-------------

Seems most likely an accident, but there were some stories social media posts (and subsequent news stories calling them crazy, natch) going around how something similar was depicted in the recent Netflix movie produced by the Obamas (would not watch) called "Leave The World Behind" about cyber-hacking leading to a World War or something (that analysts like Bongino speculated was an attempt to "prep the battlefield" for what they know is coming -- or are outright planning).

In the movie, apparently an oil barge is cyber-hacked and runs aground or something ...

227 Who gets to determine what constitutes "minimal risk?"

********

It goes something like this. Every hospital has an Institutional Review Board that ostensibly oversees clinical research at that hospital. The researcher presents a proposed project to the IRB with supporting information such as results oof other clinical trials, animal studies and the historical evolution of the procedure in question, along with citations from the existing literature. The tendency is to downplay risks. "The patient's dick may fall off, but this almost never happens in our experience". The whole process depends on how rigorously the IRB exercises due diligence. If the researcher has prestige, the IRB will lean toward rubber stamping.

Multi-center studies employ a joint IRB composed of reps from each facility. '

Nationwide studies rely on governmental agencies or quasi-governmental agencies such as CDC, NIH, FDA, etc. (e.g. mRNA COVID vaccines touted by CDC as "totally safe".

IIRC most merchant vessels have a single propeller. It's the torque that can move the bow port or starboard, depending on how the blades are set.

The port anchor was dropped, but dragged, which if it held would have kept the bow of the ship from swinging to starboard (right) and into the bridge support.*

Let's say you have cancer. And you've been told you have six months to live. There's a drug therapy that you take as part of a clinical trial, but it has a 50-50 chance of either *shortening* your life by three months, or giving you an additional six months due to some confounding variable that hasn't been discovered yet.

Wouldn't it be to the advantage of the researchers to find as many willing participants as possible? Instead, what we get in clinical drug trials suggests to me that we the people haven't learned a damn thing from the Tuskeegee Study OR CoViD.

I firmly believe in freedom of speech. I do not, however, condone a person bragging about killing people, even if it is in “self-defense,” and WKU should not have allowed such an event to take place on our campus.


To add insult to injury, Kyle is scheduled to speak at Kent State University on April 16. He shows that he is tone deaf to the massacre that occurred there.

I wish people, even those on our side, would stop framing this as a free speech issue. Public and private institutions have the right to approve or reject anyone from speaking within their walls for any reason. And if they approve some dickless wonderboy like Rottenhouse, the students have the free speech right to express their perfectly justified outrage and scorn.

Evidently this pissed off someone, and the body cam footage was released.

NBC owns a ton of channels - https://www.nbc.com/networks - they don't need to make money from MSNBC, they can use the advertising and royalties from other channels to pay for it. MSNBC is a vanity/political project.

One example: recall how Dr. Nancy Snyderman was a given a weekday one hour health/healthcare-related morning show that lasted exactly from the introduction of the Obamacare legislation through it's passage in the Senate.

Consolidation is probably part of the equation as well. I'm going on what my ex-father-in-law told me though, and he's a retired head-end supervisor for my hometown's local (and relatively small) cable company.

I asked him once how he felt about cord cutting and his answer shocked me.

"There's no money in cable television anymore. If everyone cut the cord and went to streaming, I'd love it. Streaming requires internet access and in my business, that's where the real money is. All the money we get from cable bills goes right back into our costs for even carrying a channel in the first place."

302 Why Biden's loss of Black Voters is a disaster for the Democrats.

1. Most of the important Black vote is fraud by white Democrats. By important I mean votes that swing states: Atlanta, Philly, Detroit, Milwaukee. Having Blacks vote against a Democrat means They Actually Voted, and their pretend vote is subtracted from the fraud potential. Pretty easy to demonstrate election fraud if the vote total is more than 100% of the people in a district.
2. In 2020 nobody in the critical swing cities complained that their vote for Trump wasn't counted. This time around they know they aren't alone, and a zero vote for Trump from those cities will get noise made.

3.In 2020 the Black vote claimed from the big 4 swing cities was 100% for Biden, while in the rest of the country Trump got 9% of the black vote. If Trump actually gets 10% of the Black vote in those 4 cities Biden simply can't win.

Even with a full power emergency reverse that ship wasn't going to stop within a half mile when it was doing 7 knots.


We had to do an emergency reverse when we were doing workups after a yard period on the Midway. From full speed to reverse took time and once the props were all engaged the ship shook so much I thought my fillings were going to come out.

CNN Business, early this morning, 'NBC’s Ronna McDaniel disaster is dragging Comcast into the political firestorm'

Back in Dec. 2017, Variety reported, 'Senator Asks DOJ to Take Another Look at Comcast-NBCUniversal Merger' It began, "Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said that he has asked that the Justice Department to investigate the Comcast-NBCUniversal merger and whether it will pose a threat to consumers after conditions to the transaction expire in September, 2018." Dec. 2018, The NY Post reported, under Politics Exclusive, 'Justice Department backs off Comcast-NBCUniversal merger probe' (The latter is a fascinating article, imo, giving some context to mergers of giants & anti-competitive behavior.)

Comcast stinks & it may very well be that FCC has let it run amok, my opinion as a consumer. Won't listen, doesn't care, has ^ broadcast TV & regional sports 'fees' but remains quite popular as a franchise throughout the region. Government. Bah Humbug. On all levels.

341 Today!! NBC News: Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to raise $25 million with Biden amid concerns about his age.

Bits, pieces: "The rare and highly anticipated gathering of three Democratic presidents will raise over $25 million, according to a release by the Biden campaign, which is characterizing it as the most successful political fundraiser in American history."

"Some of the biggest donors will have the opportunity to have their pictures taken with the three Democratic presidents, shot by famed portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz. The cheapest tickets have sold for $250, with the largest contributions coming from people who gave $250,000 and $500,000."

"Beyond the in-person component, other donors will have access to a “grassroots virtual conversation” with the three presidents that will be moderated by Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez. That access costs as little as $25, according to the online invitation."

The first lady will also hold a “500 person VIP after party” after the event, which will be co-hosted by DJ D-Nice, whose profile rose during the coronavirus pandemic after he held virtual “Club Quarantine” events on Instagram live.

13 Weather: 56 F., humidity not bad for this dump, stiff breeze out of the NW. Rare conditions for late March around here.

There's also a news story on the CBS outlet's website that three of our local bridges will close soon or already have for repairs. None are near me, but the one leading to a ferry that allows people in the SE area of the metro area to cross over to my side of the river, and the ferry itself, are closed. So I've been seeing more vehicles on the main bridge in the morning and afternoon.

We had a bridge over the big Industrial Canal partially collapse and kill one person thanks to a barge impact one afternoon in '93. Though I seem to recall something similar later, about '96 when I worked in an area serviced by that span. One of my coworkers said he crossed it only about five minutes before the barge hit it. . . .

14 Quiet as the graveyard this AM. No issue with that, but I've never seen fog like this before. Betcha visibility doesn't reach a foot.

Currently I'm standing 15-20' from the house (that I cannot see). Got a rope tied to the house door and me, else there's no hope of finding the building, it's that bad.

16 Can't find the story about any bridge-barge impact from '96, just the story about the freighter that hit the riverfront shopping mall a week or so before Christmas that year. I had considered going down there (a Saturday) to do some shopping, and changed my mind at the last minute.

Maybe my coworker in '96 who escaped a bridge incident was telling about 1993, not a recent event.

22 I remember Adrienne Barbeau in 'The Fog'. Hal Holbrook? Not sure. I think it was him. Maybe Tom Skerrit. I'll have to look it up. I bet Ernest Borgnine was in it too. He was in everything during the 70s and 80s.

49 Back from my shave & shower, and having breakfast. Yesterday I hit both Target and Walmart in a search for a new microwave at a decent price. The ones at a decent price at Tar-zhay were either too small, or didn't have their wattage on the box. I couldn't get any employee help (typical), so I left.

Found what I needed at WM, a Hamilton Beach 900-watter, same as the deceased unit. That MW, a Sunbeam, lasted me for some four or five years. This one seems to do just as well at what it's supposed to do.

If WM hadn't had anything, I was prepared to head to Best Buy (more $$).

Contrary to initial expectations, the genes and proteins are now known to persist in the blood for prolonged periods, and post-vaccination syndrome, or ‘spikeopathy’, has become a major global problem, the researchers say. The jabs should have been regarded as biomedicine, but because they were classified as vaccines, huge numbers of people were inoculated and many areas of medicine are beginning to become involved with the consequences. ‘This has never happened before in the history of biomedicine, and consequently it is highly suspected that blood products for transfusion have been affected.’

The Quotes of The Day


Quote I

"The Prisoner Review Board must be able to operate independently as they review enormously difficult cases, but I believe LeAnn Miller has made the correct decision in stepping down from her role." Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D)


Quote II

“I can’t charge $20 for Happy Meals. I’m leaving no stones unturned,”
McDonald's franchise owner, Scott Rodrick
It is difficult for a business man to soar like an eagle when the ill informed anchors one down needlessly.

A couple of views on Israel........


&&&&&


Israel Has Created a New Standard for Urban Warfare. Why Will No One Admit It?

The Israel Defense Forces conducted an operation at al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip to root out Hamas terrorists recently, once again taking unique precautions as it entered the facility to protect the innocent; Israeli media reported that doctors accompanied the forces to help Palestinian patients if needed. They were also reported to be carrying food, water and medical supplies for the civilians inside.

None of this meant anything to Israel's critics, of course, who immediately pounced. The critics, as usual, didn't call out Hamas for using protected facilities like hospitals for its military activity. Nor did they mention the efforts of the IDF to minimize civilian casualties

It isn't being a parent. And practicing medicine is just that. Practice. Practice. And practice some more.

A mum is warning parents to throw out any electrical items that have button batteries after her baby swallowed one and was rushed to hospital.

Kiara West, 24, first noticed a problem when her nine-month-old daughter Rosantina West began wheezing on the morning of February 14.

Kiara’s husband Daniel West, 22, rushed Rosantina to the local ER where doctors sent her home with a nebuliser, suggesting she had RSV, a respiratory virus much like the common cold.

However, two days later Rosantina’s wheezing got worse, so the mum-of-two took her to Children’s Minnesota Hospital where an x-ray revealed a button battery was lodged in her oesophagus.

Did. Not. See. This. Coming. No, not at all. And it is not on my 2024 Bingo card.


A leading witness in the 2019 impeachment inquiry of then-President Donald Trump registered as a foreign agent representing Ukraine and the European Union (E.U.) on Thursday.

Gordon Sondland served as the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union from 2018 to 2020 and testified against Trump before the House of Representatives Select Committee on Intelligence in 2019, claiming that Trump sought to withhold foreign military aid to Ukraine unless it launched an investigation into then-former Vice President Joe Biden regarding his son’s business dealings in the country; Biden was running against Trump for the presidency at the time of the impeachment hearing. Sondland filed a registration statement with the U.S. Department of Justice, declaring himself a foreign agent of Ukraine and the E.U. in order to legally represent their interests in the country, according to a document obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

May the Good Lord have mercy on us if the Karens of the world take over.

A new draft animal protection law has suggested breeds with certain problems, including spinal injuries, could be banned.

Sausage dogs are known to struggle with back problems and can also easily become overweight.

The proposed move has been met with resistance in Germany, with the German Kennel Club (VDH) launching a petition to save the breed.

The VDH has argued that the law would be too open for interpretation when determining genetic defects.

So a hard working UPS driver meets a Rachel Corrie wannabe and Genius Award Winner.

A viral TikTok that was initially uploaded by user @Choriz93 is making the round of several other popular pages and it's not difficult to see why: it features a woman crawling underneath a UPS truck as a means of protesting the way her packages were being delivered.

She's damn lucky her household full of cats weren't orphaned by her award winning stunt. And lucky the driver is a nicer guy than I am.

Which one is Butch and which one is Fem. Or in this case, "It is good to be King and/or Queen depending on the day and hour I am asked."

The wife of Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek announced that she is in recovery from alcoholism and lives with mental illness.

The statement from Aimee Kotek Wilson comes amid a staff shakeup in the governor’s office and accusations of nepotism as Wilson’s role in the Democrat’s administration has come under scrutiny and criticism.

The statement comes on the heels of questions to the governor about her wife’s elevated role in the administration as well as a security detail.

OregonLive reported:

The governor has brought on a state-funded adviser to explore the possibility of forming an Office of the First Spouse and announced this week that she had ordered the Oregon State Police to provide her wife with a security detail while attending events on her behalf. The state-funded adviser, Meliah Masiba, will be paid $72,000 during the six-month rotation, the same rate that she has earned at the Department of Administrative Services. The governor’s office did not say how much the upgraded security protection will cost, but said the money would come out of the governor’s existing budget.

28 A new draft animal protection law has suggested breeds with certain problems, including spinal injuries, could be banned.

The VDH has argued that the law would be too open for interpretation when determining genetic defects.


The people who proposed this law have genetic defects. Let's ban them, for the sake of humanity and fur balls.

82 "The Israel Defense Forces conducted an operation at al-Shifa hospital in the Gaza Strip to root out Hamas terrorists recently, once again taking unique precautions as it entered the facility to protect the innocent; Israeli media reported that doctors accompanied the forces to help Palestinian patients if needed. They were also reported to be carrying food, water and medical supplies for the civilians inside.

"None of this meant anything to Israel's critics, of course, who immediately pounced. The critics, as usual, didn't call out Hamas for using protected facilities like hospitals for its military activity. Nor did they mention the efforts of the IDF to minimize civilian casualties"


No one should be surprised that the Leftists are screaming for Israel to stand-down its operations to eradicate Hamas. They're the same Leftists who want to crucify every private citizen who fights back against a thug.

Y'all remember the failed Florida Pedestrian Bridge, the one that crushed all the cars n' people? All Gurl Design n' Engineeringess Team?

Yeah. Same design firm for the aforementioned Ship Channel Bridge. It's about 75% complete. And two or three outside engineering firms, brought in to audit the ladies' design, and *ahem* engineering.

Not much love from the outside audits for the design or the engineering. Yet, the construction proceeds apace.

As do the lawsuits.

Savannah has a big, active, port and even though the Talmadge Bridge is very high, the port wishes it were higher still. There's no easy way to raise the bridge or lower the river.

Sort of like how in Dec. '77 I hitched from the NY/CT border to Boston and back; lot of snow and ice to stand around in back then. At one time, hitch-hiking was quite acceptable. Hitching was a little crazy in the '70s, but now? You'd have to be certifiable to do that today. Just like when I was a kid you'd have to have been certifiable to ride the rails.

Could be clickbait but it makes you wonder what with all the technology in use today and the fact we have so many illegals here for who knows what nefarious purpose and bringing a skill set to accomplish that.

201 Over bred animals: we had a GSD for 13 years. She developed hip dysplasia which led to arthritis in her hipg. We stuffed pain killers down her. Plus, she had a very young cat to keep her on her toes. My understanding of the breeding problem is that too many kids watched ringing in and begged for GSDs. Responsible breeders sold pet quality pups, but made sue the animal was either spayed or neutered before letting the pup go to a new home. It was the backyard breeders who didn't give a shit about what they sold that caused so many problems.

Cats have similar problems. The breed standards go to the extreme. Siamese heads narrow down so horribly much. Persian nose leathers and are supposed to be in a straight line with their foreheads. (And take my word for it -- they snore, although thankfully not as bad as pugs.)

It, and the bridge immediately adjacent, which it will replace, are both tall enough.

But the new bridge will allow for a vastly widened San Jacinto River, which is also being dredged deeper for the larger ships.

Meanwhile. Some pockets get stuffed with cash, while some pants get filled with "Oh SHIT!".

See me at 192. HAZMAT considerations are why the Key Bridge was built.
Original Harbor Tunnel opened in 1958. Second tunnel (Ft McHenry Tunnel) opened in 1986. Neither allow HAZMAT.
See me upthread also about the over-water approach roads still being intact. Replacement of the main span of the bridge is a must.

Bad breeding is a major problem. My first dog was a Keeshond who turned out to be epileptic, so he was on anti seizure meds his whole life. My second dog was a Shetland Sheepdog. Shelties and collies are notorious for eye problems. My sheltie was a great dog. They're smart. But he was on 2 eye meds for his entire life. Both dogs died when they were around seven years old.

Apparently the Dali has a history of mechanical failures. If one wanted to wreak havoc in a seaport, and have plausible deniability, what better way to do it than follow such a trouble-prone, and take steps to cause an engine failure at a crucial time? Simply blocking the ship channel with a VLCC, run aground, would be havoc enough.

I'm not saying it is certainly sabotage, but to dismiss sabotage out of hand without a thorough investigation is short-sighted.

294 On the importance of RFK, Jr. to Trump's chances of winning:

1) The dozens of Biden/Trump H2H polls show Trump winning (at the moment, anyway) by 1.5%, per the RCP average. The MOE for these polls is 3% usually-- sometimes 2.5%.

2) But polls of the 3-way Biden/Trump/K race show Trump +3, i.e., outside the MOE, albeit barely.

Most analysts seem to think that K's VP pick Nicole Shanahan may ADD TO Trump's lead in the 3-way race, because she's a lefty enviro-loon who will drive away GOP-leaning indies who don't like Trump.

Anyway, she followed a trajectory very similar to that of a lawn dart, and by the time she reached the ground she was fully vertical. Jammed up her shoulder and she was gimpy for a while, but didn't break anything. I thought she would squeak like a concertina when she hit the ground, but I guess that's only in the cartoons.

She never tried that again.

302 Last week the fuel cut-off solenoid stopped working on my riding mower. I left it didn't want to get involved with electronic scouting and per Thomas Bender, I think, ordered a manual fuel cut-off valve from YouGuessedIt.

Well, all the fuel kept on going throught the carb, into the head and on into the crankcase. Drained the gas/oil out of the crankcase, refilled and pulled the spark plug wire. I cranked it a bit to circulate the oil, waited and did it again. Then I drained the oil and put fresh oil in it.

Put the wire back on the plug, opened the gas valve, watched the filter fill and cranked the engine. Then I cut the yard. That Craftsman mower is a year 2001.

She was a medium-small mixed breed rescue (we guessed a little Corgi, Beagle and something else[s?]). She was happy just to have a roof over her head, a bed to sleep in, food and belly rubs, not necessarily in that order. She'd wander off following her nose, but she never bolted. She only went to the vet for her shots. She lived to be around 16-17. There's something to be said about mutts.

Neighbors had a Heeler and a Pit bull who would come through the field fence and harass Gabriel, retreating back through the fence when they started losing. One day he'd had enough and went *through* the field fence after them. Fortunately, Dad was there and called Gabriel back because he was about to put the Pit bull out of his misery. He came as soon as Dad called him and the two dogs kept to their own side of the fence after that.

They do. We'd hoped our 6 acres would be enough for the second female who had been returned to the breeder from her first family for "issues" and given to us by the breeder. It wasn't. Eventually Mom and Dad decided she had to be put down before someone was killed hitting her with their car because, unlike the male she *would not* return when called. She would look the person in the eye and then take off.

One of my mother's very young girlfriends, only in her early '80s, just got out of the hospital. Early Sunday morning, she got up to go to the bathroom. She couldn't get up. Blurred vision, and "dizziness". Standing up, she said her body just couldn't balance itself.

Anyway, she spent two days in the hospital. They haven't figured it out. She can get around now. She was dehydrated they said, but MRI showed "white matter increases" in her brain compared to the last scans they had on file. They have her on some sort of cardio monitor now (the new ones just have a sensor that sticks on your chest, and a smart phone like device you just need to keep in range of).

Anyway, she went on a rant about the mRNA injectable products. Her doctor nagged and nagged her to take it. She did, and regrets it. About 3 weeks after getting it, she got Covid. And has now had it a total of 3 times since.

I realize the day before my mother's "mild stroke" she had a "glitch". I'm kicking myself for not recognizing it. But they tell me, there was probably nothing that getting her in a day earlier really would've done. Might, but likely not.

A brief episode of sitting at the dinner table, talking, then sort of momentarily glitching, "blah, blah, bssuzzzzzpburbr....blah, blah". I even saw a brief left side facial droop. She recovered, the event lasted only a second or two.

Anyway, you see a loved one do that, get them to the ER stat, and get their brain scanned.

I saw a video (Daily Mail). The Dali suffered about two electrical failures as it veered into the bridge support. Lights went out, black smoke billowing (some emergency restart procedure), recovered, then lights out again and boom.

The pilot got a "Mayday" broadcast out. Likely saved some lives, as they started to block traffic on the bridge. But those poor people on the bridge, including some construction workers were not so lucky.

467 The entire "is or is not terrorism/sabotage" lunacy is missing the forest for the trees. Namely...this is the Port of Baltimore. From a critical infrastructure standpoint, nationally, the port is a non entity. GSX coal will have to do some reroutes, if the channel is still closed six weeks from now Domino sugar will have some problems, and Mitsubishi and Subaru are having a bad day. The trucking snarl this will cause is bad, but not insurmountable. That's...about it.

Compare to, say, blocking the Sabine ship channel at the mouth. Two of the five largest refineries in America are cut off, and gas nationally jumps at least a buck a gallon overnight and continues to rise. The largest LNG export terminal in the country is down. The military loses a solid third of its outload capability through Beaumont and Port Arthur.

How about blocking Angels Gate at LA-Long Beach. Or God forbid hit the LPG facility in San Pedro. A tactical nuke would do less damage. Can do this all day, with a really long list of MCI/KI before getting within light years of anything in Baltimore. Yes, what happened was a tragedy. The cold truth is in the national maritime scheme of things, Baltimore is small ball.

According to the article, the woman who controls the right half of their body got married. Does the wedding ring go on her/their right hand, then?

I suppose so, since that woman doesn't "have" a left hand, and that's where you'd wear a wedding ring if you'd lost your left hand/arm. But then the ring isn't sending the "I'm spoken for" signal since she seems to have a left hand to everyone else.....

I got interested in the history of "mayday" as the standard distress call. It comes from the French "m'aidez"/"m'aider" meaning "help me".

Some Brit came up with it in the '20s, and anglicized it as "may day". Like the phonetic alphabet, the idea is to come with a spoke phrase (group of phonemes) that are easily recognizable and can be understood, without ambiguity, by everyone on the channel.

The standard format is "Mayday, mayday, mayday!", indentify your vessel, "Mayday, mayday, mayday", identify vessel, position, then description of emergency.

The ship was reported to have attained 8 point something knots, under power. Seven point something, at impact.

The river current was.. let's guess. 4 knots? That's a FAST current. Enough to leave "bow waves" around dock pilings.

Ship HAD steerage. Even if marginally. But with zero hydraulics, it had no RUDDER.

And with no power, it could not apply THRUST against the rudder to sharpen the turn.

I have helmed, often single handed, what might be considered an astonishing array of sailboats, all single engined, of a wide, wide variety of keel and rudder hull-plans.

Worst of them all, the Catalina 38 ft. Mk II design. The "walk to port" required about a 120 degree stationary offset before power was applied. When stern steerageway was achieved, you MIGHT just have the hull aligned with the marina fairway.

And you'd best be a deft hand with throttle and wheel and wind and current.

But with only 3 to 4 knots net steerage, any deflection they could apply to the rudder would take longer to bring the vessel's head around. Time that they didn't have. They were basically fucked the first time they lost power.

487 ...They were basically fucked the first time they lost power. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at March 28, 2024 02:02 AM (tkR6S)

Yep. 'Cause when the first lost power, they also lost rudder.

Every luxury yacht I've ever crewed, BOTH aux generators were UP and ONLINE and (even redundantly) powering all electrical and hydraulic systems, before the vessel ever left the dock.

Even if one of the two Main Engines coughed, the aux gennies kept the load off the other Main.

Once out of the transit channel? Hit the power panel, shift all load to the mains, and give the aux gennies their rest.

Approaching the dock. Port gennies on odd numbered days, Starboard on the evens. Kept the Hobbs Meters for engine hours, happy enough.

Unfortunately, most do not think of that when their pets are young and prone to jumping around. Helping them not jump around too much while young helps later in life or at least I think every little bit helps later on. For in-house exercise, cat ramps and not cat stairs, e.g. Swinging bridges, spiral ramps up cat trees, stuff like that. You can also get a cat's jumping around out of its system with controlled cat 'catch and kill' play.

Like Polynikes pointed out above, projects on that scale will be conducted in a way that the Zaibatsu get to wet their beaks. But Japanese builders do speak "Yakuza," and they are as prevalent in construction as La Cosa Nastra until recently. The Yakuza even go after the Zaibatsu, creating chaos at investors' meetings and intimidating their way to alter company policy and direct some yen their way. They've even got their hooks into Japanese professional wrestling, in addition to a number of actual, legitimate sports.

A "Mayday" call means "The shit has hit the fan here, people is about to die!" "Pan-pan" means "we's got big problems here, but nobody is about die".

A false "Mayday" call is a grave offense.

I was reading some of the standard procedures instruction for doing a Mayday call. "Remain calm", "Do not panic" is sprinkled all throughout the procedure instructions.

507 And regarding Slow Joe's recollection of riding the rails, it was just a senior moment. He was recalling the days when he was a "bo"(where did you think his son's name came from?) as A Number 1, the most enterprising hobo across Depression-era America. In his wake followed a young up-and-coming would-be expert on transportation, the man we now know as Pete Buttiegieg.

Their story was dramatized in the epic film "Emperor Of The North," where Lee Marvin portrayed Biden and Ernest Borgnine as the savage railroad "Bull" who fought to the death with Biden while screaming "This one's for Cornpop!"

525 Interesting blog of a ships captain with the pilot going up the waterway a few hours before the container ship hit the bridge.
Probably find it on Google. It shows how much experience it takes to tread the needle up that canal to Baltimore. You don't steer a ship like a truck. Lots of knowledge in knowing where to set the ruder and those ships don't react that quickly with a rudder change. And to have all power go out a the last moment, your fucked or lucky. Emergency power just turns on the lighting.
With unlimited dollars from the government, I'd bet the replacement will look like the Sunshine bridge south the St. Pete. All the remaining parts of the bridge will be replaced with wider roadways. Having traveled that bridge many times, the roadway was fairly narrow. Much like the harbor bridge (two bridges actually) east of Baltimore.
Which are probably about the same age.

-who MIGHT weigh 100 pounds,
-wearing flip flops and inadequate clothing,
-holding a rifle or shotgun that is taller than she is and a rear stock about 6 inches too long for a shoulder hold,
-in a caliber that would shoot through an elephant lengthwise and kill the zebra behind it.

That's not a fail. That's a demonstration of physics and human stupidity.

When my older brother was about 10 and I was 8, we were in the garage with the Old Man and he had a little jar of mercury on the work bench. After playing with it awhile, my brother asked the Old Man, "Why don't they put a big ball of mercury in a ship and let it pull the ship over the waves?". I thought wow! great idea!

The Old Man whacked my older brother across the head and told him to stop being such a dumb ass.

86 Mercury amalgamates with many metals. If you play with liquid mercury then don't wear gold or silver jewelry as it will be ruined. An amalgam is a solution of the metal in mercury. Often solid, useful as dental fillings (now replaced by resins, etc.?). Heating the amalgam makes the mercury distill and leaves behind the other metal, but the worse for wear - it won't look like that wedding band that you didn't remove.
Other metals? Lead, copper, tin, platinum but not iron. Sodium amalgam is great for super-drying solvents in the lab. Sodium makes a nice flash when dropped into liquid mercury.

On Monday’s show, Jon Stewart accused Trump of “lying” about the valuation of some of his properties, claiming Trump’s “shenanigans cost the city of New York.”

But documents obtained by the New York Post appear to show that Stewart once overvalued his own New York home by more than $16 million.

In 2014, the comedian reportedly sold his 6,280-square-foot Tribeca duplex to financier Parag Pande for $17.5 million. But, according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market value of only $1.882 million. The actual assessor valuation for property tax purposes was $847,174.

Records also show that Stewart paid property taxes based on that assessor valuation price — in other words, what he accused Trump of doing.

The report has inspired online mockery of Stewart.

Fractured Indo-English!

Look. It's really simple. Aluminum would all spontaneously react with oxygen in the air to form that white, fluffy oxide, were it not for the fact that it is always coated with a thin film of hard, transparent oxide that protects it. Mercury will form an alloy with aluminum, called amalgam, that erases that hard layer of protective oxide, and the aluminum simply slowly burns up. Left unchecked, it would eventually eat a hole right through that plate.

I found a mess of spilled mercury once on a set of concrete stairs outdoors at my high school. Swept it all up, brought the mercury-laden dirt home, and panned it clean (like panning for gold!) in an old aluminum pan. The next day, that pan was covered in white whiskers, and riddled with tiny holes.

They used to use it in science class to coat pennies. It was also used to gild copper by dissolving gold in it and then letting it plate the copper mechanically.
That sort of gilding was used by navies because it was more enduring than electro-plating, and it was more traditional.

Yep, from the first report I saw. If it was an attack we better hope it was electronic, because otherwise there are sleeper agents on an ungodly number of ships in and out of US Ports.

Joe Lieberman, Al Gore's vice presidential running mate and nearly a Republican vice-presidential candidate thanks to "maverick" adulterer and traitor John McCain, has died at age 82.

"Former United States Senator Joseph I. Lieberman died this afternoon, March 27, 2024, in New York City due to complications from a fall," his family said in a statement. "He was 82 years old. His beloved wife, Hadassah, and members of his family were with him as he passed."

So he died due to lingering injuries from a fall at age 82.

Biden is 81 and frequently falls or stumbles. And he just got brand new stability loungers.

Hm.

I wonder how long ago Lieberman fell. I wonder if his fall prompted them to put the Gum-Soled Boat Anchors on Rickety Joe.


A Church of England archdeacon has called for "smashing the patriarchy" and a campaign for "anti-whiteness."

Good to see they're really taking religion seriously in the CoE and that it's not just an employer of last resort for the talentless mentally-ill children of the upper middle class.

Guess what this archdeacon looks like? It's an AWFL, of course.

Got that mental image set?

Illegal aliens may start taking the place of special needs US citizens in NYC schools.

A massive influx of illegal immigrant children in Manhattan schools may push a school for children with disabilities and special needs out of an academic building and into an "inadequate" site, according to a report from the New York Post.

The school, West Prep Academy, reportedly serves 170 students, which mainly include children with special needs. West Prep is being overrun by the enrollment at PS 145, which shares the same schoolhouse.

PS 145 has enrolled lots of illegal immigrant children, reportedly "flooding" the system. Reportedly, more than 30,000 migrant children have been sent to public schools in New York City in recent years.

"We're at a point where now parents are not feeling heard," one academy parent told The Post. "I see all of these parents expressing these real concerns for why this is not going to work for their kids.

NBC executives are afraid that declaring themselves to be a no-Republicans-allowed zone will cause Republicans to boycott them.

Mollie Hemingway has doubts:


Mollie
@MZHemingway

The Russia collusion lie, the Kavanaugh smear, the J6 hysteria, Biden sycophancy, rabid anti-GOP treatment on every issue were all fine but firing the single Republican on an otherwise all-Democrat staff after 48 hours of meltdown is too much? OK.


The GOP is hopelessly three-generations-ago. They are not just traditionalist in terms of morality and politics, but traditionalists in habit: We've always gone on NBC to get ripped by Chuck Todd before, so obviously we must continue honoring this masochistic tradition forever!

But anyway, Semafor says they wonder if Republicans will finally give NBC the finger.


NBC braces for the backlash to the backlash after hiring and firing top Republican
Hannah McKay

NBC News's dramatic hiring and firing of a former RNC chairwoman this week threatens to undo years of repositioning itself as friendly to Republican officials and viewers.

[W]hile the abrupt reversal was cheered by some MSNBC staff, other NBC News journalists said they believe the move will only continue to strengthen complaints by Republicans that the network doesn't want to hear their perspectives.
AD

Now, NBC staffers are bracing for Republican backlash, fielding texts from angry GOP sources.

"Political reporters here didn't take part in the backlash, nor did they get to give input on the hire," one NBC News journalist said. "But they'll be the ones who have to pick up the pieces with sources who are now dismayed with the organization."

Four NBC News staffers expressed concern that instead of fixing the problem, hiring and then firing McDaniel had only alienated liberal viewers while confirming Republican fears. Two Republican aides told Semafor they'd texted their NBC News contacts to express their anger with the decision.


The conflict over McDaniel threatens to reverse some of the gains that top network figures believed that it had made to establish some credibility with members of the Republican Party.

...

NBC did catch one break. McDaniel's lack of popularity among top members of her own party may not make her a true martyr among Republicans. Her former institution, the Republican National Committee declined to comment on her firing, and Trump himself posted a mocking tweet directed both at McDaniel and "weak" NBC. Said one senior Republican aide: "No one really cares about Ronna."

DougP at Twitchy catches some bloviating which no one believes:



Ari Fleischer
@AriFleischer

NBC should never get to host a GOP primary debate or townhall. GOP Senators/Congressmen should not go on Meet the Press. No NBC anchor should participate in a presidential debate.

What NBC is saying is if you're for Trump, you don't belong. Good. Let NBC be for Democrats only.


NBC was a prime conspirator in the plot to frame the president of the United States as a traitor under orders from Putin, and Republicans never thought before to boycott them.

But fire one establishment liberal grifter, and hoo boy, it's on now!


So NBC can't hire a partisan spokeswoman who once bent the truth?


Ted Cruz
@tedcruz

Chuck Todd was a Dem staffer.

Tim Russert was a Dem staffer.

George Stephanoupolos was a senior Dem WH staffer.

Jen Psaki was a senior Dem WH staffer.

But, NBC hired a Republican??!!?!

It's the end of the world.

Brain scans prove that dogs understand some words:


It's well-known that dogs can learn words for spoken commands like "sit," "stand" and "heel."

But a new study has found they also can tell their "ball-ball" from their "dolly," "teddy," "chewy" or "squeaky squeak."
Advertisement

Brain scans reveal that dogs generally know that certain words stand for certain objects, researchers reported Friday in the journal Current Biology.

Words "activate a memory of an object when they hear its name," researcher Marianna Boros of Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary, said in a news release.

For the study, researchers hooked 18 dogs up to an EEG, to see how deep each canine's understanding of language runs.

The dogs' owners would say words for toys that their dogs knew and then present objects to them -- sometimes the matching toy, sometimes another object.

For example, an owner would say, "Zara, look, the ball," and then show them a ball.

Brain recording results showed that patterns differed when dogs were offered a matching object versus a mismatched one, in ways similar to what is seen in humans. This is solid evidence that they understand the words, researchers said.

Fani Willis says she is the face of feminism.

I would say: The Resting Bitch Face of Feminism, sure.

She says that there's been an outpouring of support from sexually-frigid Affluent White Female Liberals who resent their husbands for providing them with a comfortable, indolent life:

"I told Jeff one day, I didn't think I was the face of the feminist movement, but somehow I became it. And I think that women feel like women are treated differently when they're professionals and they're proud to see someone that is strong and trying to do the right job," she said.

Woman who used taxpayer funds to pay her gigolo says that men are never harassed over their own sexual peccadilloes.

Does that sound stupid to you? #MeToo.

Amazing quotes from Milei:

Argentine President Javier Milei plans to fire 70,000 government workers in the coming months in one of the clearest signs yet of how the libertarian's chainsaw-style approach intends to slash the swollen state.

Beyond the job cuts, Milei boasted Tuesday at an event that he's frozen public works, cut off some funding to provincial governments and terminated more than 200,000 social welfare plans, which he labeled as corrupt. It's all part of his strategy to reach a fiscal balance at any cost this year.

"There's a lot of blender," Milei said in an hour long speech at the IEFA Latam Forum in Buenos Aires, referring to the erosion of wages and pensions by 276% annual inflation. "There's a lot more chainsaw."

Posted by: Aetius451AD at March 27, 2024 06:14 PM (di6C2)

I'd say it's that Morality itself comes from God, but parents are supposed to instill morals into their children by teaching them how to follow God's commands. Thus many today are, at best, amoral in that they are unaware there *are* higher rules to follow than "be nice".

62 Lieberman tried to defeat Obama in 08, single handedly cut the public option & was CURRENTLY working to elect trump. These are just facts. I'm trying to be respectful, but this can't be forgotten.

He was a registered independent. No tears here.

I can't help but think about how we'd be reacting if he hadn't turned away from us in such damaging ways, and wondering why he did it. I always found his metamorphosis perplexing.

Lieberman flipped because he lost the 2006 Democratic primary to Ned Lamont...and he killed the public option because he was beholding to the insurance lobby...and he was the precursor to Joe Manchin, so much so that John McCain wanted Joe Lieberman to be his running mate in 2008...he will not be missed.

His last political act was attacking Schumer last week. “While Mr. Schumer’s statement undoubtedly pleased American critics of Israel,” he wrote, “for the Israelis it was meaningless, gratuitous and offensive.”

I'll say something nice: He died before he could cast his vote for Trump in November.

72 Argentine President Javier Milei plans to fire 70,000 government workers.

A good start.

Here in the U.S. a President could "plan" on firing x number of federal workers, and in 6 1/2 minutes the Dems would send up a bill that firing federal workers is unconstitutional. Make the announcement after the deed is done.

Then Trump can "regift" it right back. The Obama Rule is now sun-setted and the Trump Rule is the fully operational Death Star.

It's always so absurd that any Democrat rule is sacrosanct to the GOP. Clear the rules and the personnel as viciously as needed until fair play is recognized again. Which means the cold civil war will persist because the Progressive/Democrat Party will never engage fair play. They are institutionally unfair because it's the only way they can control the populace.

But yeah, along with the Middle East chaos, and low water in the Panama Canal ... it does start to cascade on global trade.

The "intentional" aspect is not proven, but it fits the asymmetric warfare tactic of China and others. They can't fight us militarily (yet), so they send fentanyl, they bribe of officials, they steal our intellectual property, they send "plagues" ... and so on.

The timing and the turn off the ship were just a little too perfect. But Singapore seems like an odd suspect, and a crew from India. Hacking of the ship's controls seems a common "conspiracy theory", but details on wind and the ship's responses will give more clues (maybe).

The insurers would have to find a pool of people to dilute the risk down to acceptable levels to make a profit. If they haven't because everyone uses the unions, then it would be expensive as the one client would have to finance it all himself.

Hideous Elder-Abusing Crone Announcing That Keeping Gay Pornography Out of Children's Hands Is Nazi Germany All Over Again

Jill Biden, Joe Biden's nurse who occasionally lets the doddering old pervert smell her hair and suck on her toes, went to Florida to say that if you're not a groomer pedophile who likes plying young children with gay pornography, you're a damned Nazi.

Quoting the Daily Mail:

'Before World War Two, I'm told, Berlin was the center of LGBTQ culture in Europe. One group of people loses their rights and then another, and then another, until one morning you wake up and you no longer live in a democracy.'

It's all about forcing people to pretend that transgender men are women:

That's literally all they care about. That, and indoctrinating children into being gay.

Say, why didn't the "vigorous," sprightly Joe Biden, who has so much energy that his 30something staffers can't keep up with them, make the trip to Florida himself?

Just kidding, he's a barely sentient vegetable who can only be kept upright by placing heavy sheets of lead inside his comically-thick lounge booties.

1 Willowed, and dragging it over here.

Does the Illinois parole board have a DEI chair?


Dunno. But it needs a fucking electric chair, that's for sure.

And for me to make that statement required a massive, MASSIVE ethical shift. I have always, always, always opposed the death penalty on the grounds that I don't trust the State that much.

Killed in the act by the victim or bystander? Good. Get dead.

Waiting 20 years on a conviction I'd rate as - at best - probable, and then being put to sleep the way we put down the dogs we so dearly love? Nope. No chance, paddles, no chance. I just can't trust the government enough to give them power over life and death in such a direct way. Not with the FBI Crime Lab Liars and the Unreliable Eyewitnesses. I've seen the government frame too many people without repercussion to be on board with letting that same government kill people for crimes it says they committed.

Now, though, I'm changing my position. I'm beginning to disagree with the idea that it's better to have a dozen guilty go free than to have one innocent in prison.

That innocent is starting to seem like the Cost of Doing Business, and I hate the left for making me consider it.

47 These people know what they're doing, but I heard someone the other day talking about this as an off-hand comment, and the narrative is "not letting students hear about gay."

The perception appears to be this is about older students, and there is absolutely no hint these people who don't pay attention to this stuff, have any idea this includes hard core child pornography. Which is does.

Generally, once ANYONE discovers the truth, they're outraged and appalled.

So in other words, this c**t knows, and she's intentionally misleading people about exposing elementary school kids to hard core gay pedophelic pornography.

Doesn't get much more evil than that.

The question is fair, and I'm sorry that I don't remember the details. I remember lefty media types tried to crash the MoMe, and I remember he had a corduroy jacket with elbow patches.

If I'm honest, all I remember at this point is that he put off a significant smarmy+I'm better/smarter than all of you+righteous indignation about teh ghey stuff.

And thank you for asking. My saving expire this week, and working at Home Depot isn't swinging it - though my kids are still insured. I've lost custody since I've lost my income, and I'm beginning to fear I'll lose the house.

That's not what got him. What got him was him saying it was essentially common practice.

And the reason everyone got the vapors about it, is because it's true. And as needs to be clarified ALL THE TIME when talking about this stuff, we're not talking about pre-adolescent children. Generally, Milo and others are talking about grooming mid to late teens.

Not exactly pure innocents. People don't like to hear that, but it's just true. You may not approve, and you shouldn't, but it's happening. Much much MUCH more commonly among gay teen males than heteros.

137 First Lady goes to bat for LGBTQ+ rights: 'They want to take our victories away, but we won’t let them'. Amidst a backdrop of protest and advocacy, Dr. Jill Biden highlights the ongoing battle for LGBTQ+ rights and remembers LGBTQ+ teen Nex Benedict.

Biden highlighted the adversity facing the community, particularly its younger members. She discussed the story of Nex Benedict, a 16-year-old transgender sophomore of Indigenous heritage in Oklahoma, whose tragic death highlighted the devastating impact of bullying and discrimination.

Biden celebrated the victories achieved in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights...“Thanks to President Biden, marriage equality is now the law of the land. He ended the ban on gay and bisexual men donating blood. He’s made it possible for trans Americans to serve openly, honorably in the military. And he’s standing firmly against conversion therapy.

The evening also faced moments of disruption. As Biden took the stage, her address was briefly interrupted by a group of protesters voicing concerns over the Israel-Hamas war. The protesters, advocating for a ceasefire, were quickly escorted out as supporters chanted, “Four more years!”

201 161 The irony is after forcing fake gay marriage down America's throats, the number of gay people who get married is a rounding error.

Posted by: Thomas Bender at March 27, 2024 05:57 PM (XV/Pl)

And 15% of them end in divorce, which is statistically identical to the 17% divorce rate for hetero couples.

Interestingly, of the gay marriages that end in divorce, 75% of them are lesbian marriages.

Lesbians also marry more than their male counterparts.

Although the US is closest where just 53% of gay marriages are lesbian (the world average, of places where it's allowed) is higher...

Posted by: Divide by Zero at March 27, 2024 06:07 PM (RKVpM)

It's a theory I have. It is probably not a popular theory, but here goes.

-women's sex drive is different than a dudes. It can be there, but it's more... conditional than a dudes.

-renewal of physical intimacy is vital to a romantic relationship's well being.

-gay dudes fall down because while they fuck like rabbits, they are not establishing physical 'intimacy' but using the other dude as a tarted up fleshlight. Often, not all, blah blah.

-gay women fall down because often, since both are waiting for their partner to satisfy the conditionals, they do not quite make the connection that SOMEONE has to initiate.

Nope. If you promote murder and depravity because you think it would be mean not to, you are still promoting murder and depravity.

But if you don't know why someone is doing something, it's harder to come up with an argument to get them to stop. The reality is that these women have no morals because they haven't been taught to have any. You can't argue with someone about how moral something is when they think judging the morality of an action means whether or not something makes somebody feel bad.

What percentage of gay marriages are lesbian marriages? Is it similar? Seems like the guys aren't as likely to marry, because they like their promiscuity, but I could be wrong.

If you start with a young kid you can convince them that serial killing is just fine, in fact if you are serial killing say, Jews, to grab a random group out of a hat, you are a hero.

You can also convince women, who should love, care for, and desire to have and protect children, that it's okay to tear them limb from limb if they come at an inopportune time.

What is your answer?

Mine: morals come from God but are not naturally, completely, or readily available to man because of The Fall. So, Godly morals need to be taught by those to strive to follow God.

Good, bad, or indifferent morals are taught through influences in society: parents, churches, schools, media, entertainment.

If parents want their children to follow their morals, their influence on their children needs to be stronger than the other influences in their lives.

Illinois Parole Board Lets Criminal Out of Prison Despite His Menacing a Mother With a Child; The Day After He's Set Free, He Attacks the Mother and Kills the Child

The 11-year-old boy was trying to protect his mom from this dangerous criminal, so the murderer stabbed him to death.

An 11-year-old Chicago boy died Wednesday as he tried to protect his pregnant mother from her knife-wielding ex-boyfriend who was released from prison a day earlier.

Crosetti Brand, 37, is accused of stabbing the boy in the chest and the 33-year-old woman before he was arrested for the heinous killing of Jayden Perkins, according to the Chicago Police Department.

Brand had been paroled Tuesday from the Stateville Correctional Center, where he was serving a 16-year sentence for home invasion and aggravated assault.


He forced his way into his ex-girlfriend's home in Edgewater, Ill. and "brutally attacked" the family, Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said during a Friday press conference.

The 33-year-old mother of two was leaving with her children to take them to school at around 8 a.m. when Brand attacked.

The 11-year-old boy stepped in to shield his mother, who was stabbed in the doorway of their home, from the deranged criminal.

Snelling also noted that the woman's "5-year-old son was also present and witnessed the attack."

The mother and son were rushed to the hospital after officers arrived on the scene to find them both stabbed "multiple times."

Here is -- was -- Jayden Perkins, the brave boy who died protecting his mother. Here is the next victim of The Democrat Party Murder Cult:

Two members of the parole board have now resigned.

But the murdered child has not been resurrected.


Illinois parole board resigns following release of child's killer


Quick Hit:

The chair and a member of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board have resigned following the murder of 11-year-old Jayden Perkins by a recently paroled convict. The resignations come amid public outrage over the board's decision to release the perpetrator, Crosetti Brand, who committed the crime less than 24 hours after his release.

Key Details:

Board chair Donald Shelton and board member LeAnn Miller resigned on Monday following the murder of Jayden Perkins.

Crosetti Brand, the parolee, allegedly ambushed and killed Jayden and attacked his mother, Laterria Smith, less than a day after his release.

Despite Laterria Smith's request for a protection order against Brand, the board approved his parole, leading to the tragic incident.

Diving Deeper:

The incident has sparked widespread outrage, particularly as Smith had sought a protection order against Brand just a month prior to the incident. Brand, who was serving a 16-year sentence for home invasion and aggravated assault, was granted parole on March 12th. The attack on Smith and her son occurred just hours before a scheduled hearing about the protection order.

Both the Illinois Department of Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board claimed they were unaware of the protection order hearing. However, emails obtained by CBS 2 indicated that the Department of Corrections had knowledge of the hearing as early as February 22nd.

Update: Jayden at his dance school.

The Democrat Party wants to fucking kill you. It's the party of murderers, thieves, groomers and pedophiles.

For more evidence of this: Minnesota's terrorist-sympathizing, antifa-supporting AG, Keith Ellison, says that we have to prosecute the real criminals responsible for vehicle theft.

No, not the carjackers and thieves themselves. They're Democrat voters, or rather, they will be Democrat voters when Democrat ballot harvesters request ballots in their names and vote for them.


No, the real criminals are auto manufacturers who have made their cars just "too tempting" to steal and an "attractive nuisance" hypnotizing young Democrat Scholars into stealing them.

He rejects the idea of prosecuting the "downstream" criminals -- that is, the actual criminals.

He says we have to go "upstream" to the root causes of the crime. By which he means car makers making their cars too sweet to resist stealing.


"But we have to go upstream, and we got to make sure that the automobiles are not so easy to steal that they are a tempting, attractive nuisance for young people. Right now we are investigating two major automakers because their cars are dramatically too easy to steal for young people," he claimed.

They're not "dramatically too easy" to steal. However, all vehicles, being expensive property which is, by design, self-propelled expensive property," are relatively easy to steal. Cars must have windows, and windows are easily broken. All locks are easily defeatable.

Cars are valuable property which supply their own getaway vehicle.

This is by design.

Traditionally people don't steal cars because of the threat of prison, but the Democrat Party has eliminated that as a possible consequence.

So now car makers must remove windows from cars, I guess.

How will drivers see?

That's on them. That's not Keith Ellison's area of expertise.

He's an expert in Being an Aggrieved Minority, and that's all the expertise any expert needs.


"We have to go upstream on crime and not just say we are going to only deal with the criminals, the people on the street. There are a lot of people involved in the chain of criminality, starting sometimes for people who are members of the country club, resulting in tragic circumstances for victims on the street," he continued.

Fuck you, filthy criminal scumbag and traitor.

94 Both the Illinois Department of Corrections and the Illinois Prisoner Review Board claimed they were unaware of the protection order hearing. However, emails obtained by CBS 2 indicated that the Department of Corrections had knowledge of the hearing as early as February 22nd.
++++
Innocent explanation: they don't talk to each-other, and the people who knew about the hearing were different from the people making the decision. The "department" knew about it, but in the absence of effective information sharing, the individuals making decisions did not.

Not so innocent explanation: they knew, but they're pro crime and were looking for *any* excuse to grant parole, consequences be damned - and a kid died as a result.

Why? Because the culture of the 50s/60s was objectively better. No trannies, no shoot shootings, far far less violent crime.

So when the left says we have to do SOMETHING about crime...hopes and prayers aren't enough...ask them if they'll help you end feminism the welfare state and Big Gay. I suspect quickly you'll find out it is no longer "if it saves just one life"

112 "But we have to go upstream, and we got to make sure that the automobiles are not so easy to steal that they are a tempting, attractive nuisance for young people. Right now we are investigating two major automakers because their cars are dramatically too easy to steal for young people," he claimed.
++++
That would be Hyundai/Kia, where several model years of vehicles are in fact very easy to steal due to a design flaw combined with common kitted vehicle configurations.

But I don't think that qualifies as "attractive nuisance." They were not designed to be easy to steal, they *happen* to be easy to steal, and the manufacturer redesigned the component (the ignition, IIRC) when it came to light that this was becoming a serious problem.

Hyundai/Kia has a downright bad design. That is true. The explosion in car theft is not Hyundai/Kia's fault, however. That is the fault of the criminals, and the fault of malicious and evil men in government who have removed all consequences from those individuals, and radically shifted their cost/benefit (or risk/reward, if you prefer) analyses of the decision to steal a car.

124 But I don't think that qualifies as "attractive nuisance."

As was pointed out above, attractive nuisance isn't really intended to apply to adults.

Wiki: The attractive nuisance doctrine applies to the law of torts in some jurisdictions. It states that a landowner may be held liable for injuries to children trespassing on the land if the injury is caused by an object on the land that is likely to attract children.

Ellison is arguing that blacks are children and shouldn't be held accountable. Okay, then let's take away their right to vote.

Um, turns out the judge's daughter is a grown women and a DNC political consultant and she posted a photo-shopped image of Trump behind bars after her father ruled the trial will go forward in April. This, alone, is dismissal material...the judge in this case, Merchan, evidently knew about his daughters "pants down twerking" maneuver and tried to straight jacket Trump with a gag order to prevent this from blowing up...

Lots of analysis today of his VP pick Nicole Shanahan.

Two points:

1) Her selection points to K targeting Biden more than Trump, because she's an enviro lefty. Hard to imagine GOP voters who dislike Trump voting Kennedy/Shanahan.

2) Less noted is that K needs her money in order to gain ballot access. That hasn't been going well for him at all. The DEMs are challenging his nominating petitions right down to the granular level. They already got him kicked off in NV.

Shanahan is half Asian, btw. Quite attractive a few years ago, although I've never been afflicted with Rice Fever myself.

Keith is right.

All this criminality and victimization does flow from the wellspring at the country club. Keith's country club.

He and his friends are deliberately creating this environment. Rich, powerful dick suckers like him. The problem is coming from upstairs, and it won't be solved except by those of us who get shit on by guys like Keith having enough of it.

For that matter his mother was too attractive as a potential murder victim - I mean all her jibber jabber made the actual victim want to kill her. It's really her fault this happened, not the guy with the knife.

There was once quite a comprehensive link as to just what Antifa was/is. It has been disappeared down the memory hole.
Antifa was a Communist Front organization founded by Joe Stalin (thanks Uncle Joe! - FDR) to fight "fascism" in Germany post The Great War, because the Bolsheviks on the street weren't winning.
From time to time in the 1920's, the Frei Corp (organized military vets from WWI) would have street fights with "Antifa" and other Bolsheviks. Sometimes the death toll was in the hundreds. Parts of the Frei Corp became part of the SA, then the SS.
The Black Block or Antifa (in Europe) is still quite a feared organization, when they show up at demonstrations. And remember, our emasculated European "Cousins" generally don't have firearms.

253 230 Hershey's Ordered To Pay Obese Americans $135 Billion

HERSHEY, PA–In one of the largest product-liability rulings in U.S. history, the Hershey Foods Corporation was ordered by a Pennsylvania jury Monday to pay $135 billion in restitution fees to 900,000 obese Americans who for years consumed the company's fattening snack foods.

"For over a century, Hershey's has lived off the fat of the land," Erie, PA, claimant Pamela Schiff said. "Now it's time to pay us back."

262 Does the Illinois parole board have a DEI chair?


Dunno. But it needs a fucking electric chair, that's for sure.

And for me to make that statement required a massive, MASSIVE ethical shift. I have always, always, always opposed the death penalty on the grounds that I don't trust the State that much.

Killed in the act by the victim or bystander? Good. Get dead.

Waiting 20 years on a conviction I'd rate as - at best - probable, and then being put to sleep the way we put down the dogs we so dearly love? Nope. No chance, paddles, no chance. I just can't trust the government enough to give them power over life and death in such a direct way. Not with the FBI Crime Lab Liars and the Unreliable Eyewitnesses. I've seen the government frame too many people without repercussion to be on board with letting that same government kill people for crimes it says they committed.

Now, though, I'm changing my position. I'm beginning to disagree with the idea that it's better to have a dozen guilty go free than to have one innocent in prison.

That innocent is starting to seem like the Cost of Doing Business, and I hate the left for making me consider it.

Though sentenced to 16years, with a Gun Crime modified sentence, he had only served 8 years.

Joe Biden Tells Security to Let Anti-Israel Protesters Heckle Him: "They Have a Point."

Once again, he panders to the Jihad Chorus and tells security to allow an obviously-Arab woman continue rating about Israel, and then says "They have a point."

Money-Men from Michigan control our elections, you know. It's all about the Benjamins -- and the ballot-harvesting from illegal aliens from the Middle East.

Millennial Moron Donkey-Chompers called Israel's defensive war against terrorists "a genocide."

From the Times of Israel:

"If you want to know what an unfolding genocide looks like, open your eyes," the New York Times quotes her as saying in an appeal for US President Joe Biden to suspend aid to Israel. "It looks like the forced famine of 1.1 million innocents. It looks like thousands of children eating grass as their bodies consume themselves, while trucks of food are slowed and halted just miles away."

As I noted last week, those numbers are all made up, and provably so. Hamas' "death count" simply does not behave the way real data collected from the real world behaves.

The ADL, which used to be an organization devoted to protecting Jews from discrimination and defamation but which is now just another progressive defamation shop in a beanie, very weakly objected to AOC -- they know damn well that the Democrat Party which funds them is pro-AOC and pro-Hamas.

Check out the tepidness of this response to a claim that Jews have become genocidal Nazis:


ADL
@ADL

Genocide requires intent. And Israel has been patently clear with its objectives: To cripple Hamas terrorists & release the hostages. @AOC's accusation lacks proper factual or legal foundation. Such statements merely perpetuate false claims & foster hate.

Whoa, you gave it to her with both barrels filled with corks. It's not genocide because there's no "intent" -- sure a genocide is happening, but Israel skates by on the technicality that, like Joe Biden, they are incapable of forming the mental state of inteng.

And "AOC's accusation lacks proper factual or legal foundation" -- whoa, that's some tough stuff. It sounds like Ben Shapiro arguing with his wife about which doilies should go on the side-tables.

Meanwhile: a freed captive describes her repeated rapes by Hamas.

Here was her abduction -- literally carried off as a spoil of war for repeated rape by savages.


From the NYT:

Ms. Soussana said she was held alone in a child's bedroom, chained by her left ankle. Sometimes, the guard would enter, sit beside her on the bed, lift her shirt and touch her, she said.

He also repeatedly asked when her period was due. When her period ended, around Oct. 18, she tried to put him off by pretending that she was bleeding for nearly a week, she recalled.

Around Oct. 24, the guard, who called himself Muhammad, attacked her, she said.

Early that morning, she said, Muhammad unlocked her chain and left her in the bathroom. After she undressed and began washing herself in the bathtub, Muhammad returned and stood in the doorway, holding a pistol.

"He came towards me and shoved the gun at my forehead," Ms. Soussana recalled during eight hours of interviews with The New York Times in mid-March. After hitting Ms. Soussana and forcing her to remove her towel, Muhammad groped her, sat her on the edge of the bathtub and hit her again, she said.

He dragged her at gunpoint back to the child's bedroom, a room covered in images of the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants, she recalled.

"Then he, with the gun pointed at me, forced me to commit a sexual act on him," Ms. Soussana said.

Oh no! Hamas rapists might have to skip breakfast a few days a week! How terrible! Where will they get their Rape and Murder Energy from if not at breakfast, the most important rape meal of the day?

Gazans are so hungry they're putting their noses up at American MREs!

This last video is, I'm sure you'll be shocked to hear, more Hamas propaganda. The man is showing the side-crap they give you with the meal, not the actual meal.

Psst: People who are actually experiencing a "genocide" by mass starvation do not play Food Critics and turn their noses up at packages containing 2000 calories and 100 grams of protein.

She also said the other day, on Meet the Depressed, that Trump led a terrorist attack on J6.

So she obviously doesn't know what she's talking about.

My thing is though, who's keeping track of these things? What constitutes a "genocide?" We keep hearing Israel is committing one, but based on what data, what information?

If there's a legal definition, and you have data showing it to be so, bring it.

Otherwise, you're just spewing propaganda.

They were sent to individual Gazan homes and that's where many of the sexual atrocities occurred. I suspect at least some of these homes were Gazan "civilians."

The British government eventually voted for the Ramadan ceasefire, which is good, which is a step forward. And that’s only because of the sense of political pressure in Britain. We’ve had now 10 national demonstrations, and we’ve got another one on Saturday.

Shapiro has two big problems, in my estimation:

1- he talks a conservative game, but ends up supporting Establishment goals, priorities and tactics. Whether it's for access, ads...whatever, he ends up being very safe and "conservative", supporting the Republican Party over conservative base principles

2- he viciously hamstrings and hinders other independent conservative commentators, either trying to absorb and control them through his network, or branding them as "undesirables" through various accusations, shunning them through his AND OTHER media outlets. He puts his business ahead of the good of conservative values and success. The outlets he DOES get along with, and collaborate with (The Blaze)...well, birds of a feather...

Bonus- he gets famous for dunking on clueless college kids and retards like Cenk Uyger. That's like me bragging about being a great fighter by showing clips of me beating up middle schoolers.

They take lots of video of sheets covering bodies, and occasionally when a kid dies they drag out the poor dear's mangled corpse to shake it at the camera. There have been multiple instances where the camera catches a live person peeking out from under one of those shrouds.

201 The problem with Ben Shapiro is that he's too Ben Shapiro. He's obviously a smart guy, but for a supposed conservative he's always fighting alongside the establishment and usually against true conservatism. He was a big supporter of vax mandates and other covid fascism. He was borderline NeverTrump.

He has a very strong financial interest in promoting things that the establishment approves of. So I'm not sure his squeamishness in the face of the establishment's disapproving gaze is the result of ideology or just financial self-interest. But either way, the result is the same.

Yes, he's only beating up on college idiots and people like Cenk. But there is an important function of it. Other college kids hear things from Shapiro they never heard from any of their teachers or Reddit or parents. A fairly rigorous defense of conservative ideas. Many of them WANT to defend these ideas, but don't really know how. It's like what Rush and Hannity did for adults 20+ years ago. They helped clarify and refine these positions in listener's heads.

Shapiro is an ass, but I do like that he does those college campus debates.

The big concern around the Jewish population isn't their vote. As you say, they're mostly confined to blue enclaves with no chance of changing results.

The big concern is their money. There was a report that some classification of Jews made up 50% of some classification all donations to Democrats.

How that actually folds out (to the DNC? how do they define Jewish?) beside the point, that's a lot of money to worry about. That Democrats are seemingly abandoning that either means that they're not abandoning it at all and Jewish money is okay with the Muslim "outreach" or Democrats have replaced the Jewish money with some other source.

271 Oh, one other point of Peterson vs Shapiro...

I've seen lefties debate Peterson and when they aren't just trying to attack him he will try to make an emotional connection to support his argument. This can be VERY effective and actually soften, if not change, opinions.

Given the same scenario for Shapiro he just basically calls his opponents stupid. Note: they usually are. But...that's not going to change any opinions.

358 "Heckle" from wikipedia:


"Although the word heckler, which originated from the textile trade, was first attested in the mid-15th century, its use as "person who harasses" is from 1885. To heckle was to tease or comb out flax or hemp fibers. The additional meaning, to interrupt speakers with awkward or embarrassing questions, was first used in Scotland, and specifically in early 19th century Dundee, a town where the hecklers who combed the flax had established a reputation as the most belligerent element in the workforce. In the heckling factory, one heckler would read out the day's news while the others worked, to the accompaniment of interruptions and furious debate."

409 Biden perfected over the decades changing political and policy positions as if he was always for what was most helpful to him maintaining his political power and/or winning an election. He got away with the mostly because who in the hell remembered what this shit bird said 10 years ago in detail and besides it was difficult tracking down all previous bullshit. That has radically changed due to the Internet, reporters bringing up all his bullshit and then disseminating it via social media platforms like Twitter, which in turn get baked into hardtack at publications like Ace of Spades.

He is still operating under that old paradigm, the expectation that he can get away unscathed by lying, smearing, and brawling about who or what stands in his way. The added juice concentrate to this toxic cocktail is he is now doing this under the effects of full blown dementia that leaves his brain pounding on his most deeply ingrained habits and practices. He was always the epitome of an empty suit and today nothing has changed except he can't run beyond his history anymore.

Yes he never EVER mentions the main course. He also tosses the very important thing in the bag - the meal heater. He acts as if he doesn't know what it is - while speaking decent English and demonstrating he could read the very clear instructions on the bag.

Oh, and the humanitarian meals are either vegetarian or halal meat. No way he could complain about that.

In Boston, Priests of the Cult of Woke Demand That "White Churches" Pay Them $15 Billion in Reparations

Reparations for what?

From Fox News:

Boston activists seeking $15B in reparations, call on 'White churches' to commit to extending wealth

The Boston Task Force on Reparations called on "White churches" to step up and pay the Black community back for racial inequities that root back to the trans-Atlantic slave trade, according to reports.

The Boston Globe reported that Black and White clergy members met in Roxbury for a press conference intended to be held outside, though it was instead held in the basement of the Resurrection Lutheran Church on Saturday because of rain.

The commission was established through a 2022 Boston City Council ordinance and made up of 10 members, including two from the youth community.

In February, the Boston activists called for the city to "fully commit to writing checks" and for a $15 billion payout since the city's wealth was built on slavery.

Boston was built on slavery?

Who wants to tell them?

31 That "post-evangelical" is even better than that. He seeks to extend the influence of Christianity by making it less religious. I quoted from his nonprofit (of *course* he has a nonprofit) on a prior thread:

We are working to return to the basics taught by Jesus: a truly extravagant love for all, intense investment in local neighborhood needs, and gatherings that are less like a lecture and more like an epic family dinner.
...
And, if you read really closely in the Bible, you’ll see that Jesus was always avoiding the crush of the large crowds—not to mention the critical eye of the ridiculously uptight religious leaders—in order to share large meals around small tables with those who were disillusioned and disappointed with the uber religious folks.


He also describes himself with a bunch of aggressive sentence fragments:
Pastor. Speaker. Consultant. Coach. Writer. Avid Lifter.
Doctorate. Early Church Scholar.
Post-Evangelical Future Thinker.


I suspect he's a run-of-the-mill con man, but it would be unwise to rule out "Satanist."

74 I've been reading a history of Russia/Catherine the Great and one of the things I learned was the serfs there, many millions of them, were essentially slaves, not peasant indentured servants as I thought. They were usually tied to the land but could be bought and sold by owners who had absolute rights to punish, approve marriage, break up families, assign their duties, choose them for house servant, skilled laborers or work them to death in the fields, etc.... Most lived a short, miserable life but lucky few rose upward and were occasionally set free. Just like American slaves.

Catherine started breaking up the system but it lingered long after her and eventually collapsed.

So their descendants there are still bitter about this and demanding reparations, right?

86 "Why are these activists going after churches for the money? I have a working theory about that. I assume it’s because they know that the state and the city of Boston are spending every spare penny on illegal border crossers. There is simply no money for reparations, so they’re hoping they can get it from other churches."

So it's going to be a shakedown. Illegals are destroying this country.

I dunno if there's that much thought being put into it.

The "reparations" racket depends on white guilt and shame, and requires that the expropriated party think the expropriation is just. They may just see the churches as an appealing target for their warped "justice" and "righteousness" arguments per Alinsky assessments.

87 63 Slavery was collapsing by the 1850s. Leave it to the crazy to launch a war to end what was already ending.
Posted by: Pudinhead

Not quite. The eastern states like SC, VA, and NC essentially became entrenched in selling their slaves to settlers in the West. Cotton ruined the ground in a couple of decades and so the high prices being brought from King Cotton led to demands that slavery be expanded to Western territories that had amenable climates for its propagation. Thus, the impetus was on to expand slavery far beyond its original states and the Dred Scott decision that overturned most caselaw and indeed turned the Constitution on its head to constitutionally protect it everywhere in the US led to the Civil War directly.

There were ways to end it peaceably but the elites in the North and South were opposed to that outcome apparently.

98 74 I've been reading a history of Russia/Catherine the Great and one of the things I learned was the serfs there, many millions of them, were essentially slaves, not peasant indentured servants as I thought. They were usually tied to the land but could be bought and sold by owners who had absolute rights to punish, approve marriage, break up families, assign their duties, choose them for house servant, skilled laborers or work them to death in the fields, etc.... Most lived a short, miserable life but lucky few rose upward and were occasionally set free. Just like American slaves.

Catherine started breaking up the system but it lingered long after her and eventually collapsed.

So their descendants there are still bitter about this and demanding reparations, right?

In Russia, "serf" didn't mean what it did in W Europe; that is, they were effectively slaves. I have read that this was a late development; that generally serfdom spread and the status of serfs fell in E Europe just as it was dying, and their status rising, in W Europe. But I really don't know Russia much.

In the established slave states on the East Coast, slavery essentially acted as illegal immigration did--it destroyed the value of white laborers, tradesmen, and artisans. So they moved either North or West--sometimes both in response. So you got the same economy as Latin America and about the same politics in slave states. Very rich landed people with slaves, poor whites driven to parts of the state not amenable to slave plantation economies, and slaves.

As you went west, the less settled states were more open but the seaboard states had economies that were like California's. They were driving everyone productive out by the slave economy.

An advisory group has urged the Church of England to raise its fund for redressing slavery to 10 times of its current worth. The church set up the fund after it admitted it had invested in the African slave trade.

An independent Oversight Group on Monday said the Church of England should increase funds earmarked for redressing its historical ties to slavery. Experts advising the church are calling for funding to rise tenfold, up to 1 billion pounds ($1.27 billion, €1.17 billion). The Church of England is the mother church of global Anglicanism, which counts some 85 million members around the world.

147 Correcting an earlier statement. Mr. Guterres is Portuguese.
The Portuguese were the first Europeans to establish and merchandise the slave trade in the western world.

"The Portuguese monarchy secured monopoly over the slave trade along the African coast with the promulgation of the Papal Bulls (1452–1456). They gave the Portuguese crown authorization to raid and trade exclusively, unlike other European powers that did not enjoy the same privilege. One of King João II of Portugal’s (1481–1495) projects was to establish several trading posts along the African coast,"

So, pony up Portugal.

Math isn't racist, but traditional western mathematics instruction methods often are. But to your point, the figure they quoted is nowhere near enough.

The average monthly wage of a farm laborer in the American south in ranged from $14.06 to $15.53 in 1860, so call it $14.80 per month. In 2024 dollars, that would be around $555 per month, so that is $6,600 per year. Assume a 50-year working life of a slave, and that slave's labor is worth about $333,000 in 2024 dollars, assuming no inflation over the slave's lifetime. That's the appropriate starting point, and even that is a bad start because it does not take into account the intergenerational trauma of slavery.

There are about 336,000 Black people in Greater Boston, with about 130,000 of them in Boston Proper. The minimum compensation of the equivalent cash value of just *one* lifetime's slave labor would total $43.3 billion - for Boston Proper *alone.*

176 Other than the apostate denominations and for Big Box American Religion (which is basically a DIY theology that just happens to have a love interest named 'Jesus') most Christians believe Genesis 1-11 to be true, not allegory, neither myth and that the Creation is less than seven thousand years old, and all of the human race has a common ancestor in Adam, and more recently though Noah. Therefore, there are no separate and distinct "races" so there can be no such thing as "racism".

OTOH, there is cultural bigotry, and that is absolutely necessary in order for any civilization to thrive and grow.

And for those who reject Creationism and pretend they are the result of Goo To You Via The Zoo, look no further than the 1KGP where through genetics the conclusion is that we are far more related to each other than we think.

178 The reason Spain and Portugal continued with slavery when the rest of W Europe had given it up* is pretty much that they were living right next to the Mahometans. It's a bit much to expect people who get enslaved whenever they lose, not to do the same when they win.

And at the time of the Papal Bull, literally every one of the coastal lands they had discovered was - you guessed it - inhabited by followers of the Prophet. It wasn't until the mid 1400s they reached the pagan lands.

193 Slave Trade Act 1807
1807 United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Act of Parliament 47 Geo. 3 session 1 c. 36
The Slave Trade Act 1807, officially An Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom prohibiting the slave trade in the British Empire. Although it did not abolish the practice of slavery, it encouraged British action to press other nation states to abolish their own slave trades. It took effect on 1 May 1807, after 18 years of trying to pass an abolition bill.
=======
British abolitionists had actively opposed the transatlantic trade in African people since the 1770s. (Several abolitionist petitions organized in 1833 alone collectively garnered the support of 1.3 million signatories.) Such antislavery views spread to Upper Canada (later Canada West), influencing the passage there of the 1793 Act to Limit Slavery, the first such legislation in the British colonies.

You are correct.

Somerset clarified that in the home islands, English contract law, common law and the lack of a statutory authorization by Parliament did not permit slavery. Somerset involved a Jamaican planter who brought their slave to UK and then expected to leave with him. The case set up the once free always free difference between municipal law and fundamental law.

During a recent fourth-quarter earnings call, CEO of Dollar Tree Rick Dreiling shared, “This year, across 3,000 stores, we expect to expand our multi-price assortment by over 300 items at price points ranging from $1.50 to $7.”

Due to the ongoing inflation under the Biden administration, Dollar Tree was previously forced to raise their prices from $1 to $1.25 in 2021.

The $7 price cap will be implemented in the fourth quarter, and at the beginning of June, a $5 price cap will be temporarily set.

244 Republicans Want the Cold, Dead Hand of Anthony Comstock to Fall on America’s Women. Yesterday’s Supreme Court session was a loud and persistent warning: America needs to pay attention. During oral arguments, the Comstock Act was invoked repeatedly by Sam Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Erin Hawley...arguing before the Court that the abortion drug, Mifepristone, should be banned nationwide.

Anthony Comstock, a Civil War Union soldier and New York Postmaster, died in 1915...mama’s boy who hated sex. His mother died when he was 10 years old and the shock apparently never left him; women who didn’t live up to her ideal were his open and declared enemies, as were pornography, masturbation, and abortion. He was so ignorant of sex and reproduction that he believed a visible human-like fetus developed “within seconds” of sexual intercourse.

[The Comstock Act's] language is not at all ambiguous: The penalty is also not ambiguous. Persons mailing information about abortion, or drugs or devices to produce an abortion:

hall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both, for the first such offense...

What makes you think a "day" at the time of Creation is the same amount of time it takes our planet to spin around once? Our understanding of a "day" is entirely Earth-centric. I doubt the Creator of the Universe marks time based on how long our little planet takes to revolve. Genesis is full of allegory and symbolism. It's entirely possible a "day" is also symbolic of a creative period or something similar to that.

308 Uh, no. Unless you redefine "Christians" in No True Scotsman manner, that is simply false.

Out of curiosity, how do those "Christians" who categorically reject six day creation wave off Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5?

The Ten Commandments, literally hand written by God Himself, not just once but twice, into stone, has Right There "in six days God Created the Heavens and the Earth, The Sea and all that is in them and rested on the seventh Day".

Did God lie? Or are the 10 Commandments Myth and Fiction?

And while you are at it, how much more of the Bible do these Christians reject and by what authority do they claim that Scriptures are in error and that man is correct?

Saw that earlier. The WH counsel were more concerned that riots and violence would happen if cheating was discovered by the DOJ than they were about whether justice was done.

Trump, if by some reason is elected, needs to ditch the Federalist society lawyer types that simply want to use government service as a way to pave their way for higher salaries in the future.

Disney Throws In the Towel; Agrees That Reedy Creek Is No Longer Their Private Corporate Feifdom

The leftwing media has been misinforming its diminishing number of readers for a year two years now, claiming that Disney's legal case to compel a state government to grant it at special, unique benefit no other company is granted, was a strong one.

See, Disney has a First Amendment right to control its own county!

The propaganda media has insisted for a year that The Walls Are Closing In For DeathSantis.

Via Ed Morrissey: the enemy-of-the-people media will now to explain how they got this so wrong, and explain why Disney, who had such an immensely strong legal case, just agreed to drop its claims of a perpetual corporate right to the Reedy Creek area.

Actually, I lied: The media is claiming that this is a draw and Disney got a "settlement."

AP:

Allies of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Disney reached a settlement agreement Wednesday in a lawsuit over who controls Walt Disney World's governing district.

In a meeting, the members of the board of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District approved the settlement agreement, ending almost two years of litigation that was sparked by DeSantis' takeover of the district from Disney supporters following the company's opposition to Florida's so-called "Don't Say Gay" law.

Morrissey points out that this "settlement" consists of Disney dropping its claims to own the Reedy Creek Improvement District, in exchange for the new body controlling that area not continuing to sue Disney over its illegal actions to keep its filthy claws on the property.

The Tampa Free Press describes this settlement more accurately.

Remember, before the Reedy Creek Improvement District was dissolved, the corrupt Disney pawns controlling it quickly passed "rules" declaring that Disney owned the area forever and ever and no act of the state could ever, ever disturb this perpetual ownership.

Disney now admits that those new "rules" were bullshit.

Florida's Voice
@FLVoiceNews

#BREAKING: DeSantis defeats Disney in court again, lawsuits to be dropped under settlement

The last-minute, far-reaching agreements that gave Disney broad power over their previous self-governing district are declared "null and void" under the agreement

Disney has withdrawn its lawsuits against the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and acknowledges that the development agreement made at the last minute is invalid and unenforceable. ...

"As usual, the media were wrong," said Florida Governor DeSantis' Communications Director Bryan Griffin Wednesday.

"Today's settlement also includes acknowledgement from Disney that the last-minute Development Agreement is "null and void... hav[ing] no legal effect or enforceability" and stipulates the same to other similar restrictive covenants and comprehensive plan amendments made prior to CFTOD," said Griffin.

In exchange, the current government of the region agrees that it won't continue suing Disney for its corrupt skulduggery.

AP thinks this is a win for Disney.

Bob Iger is spinning his allies in the media, because the proxy vote which may seal his fate is being held on April 3. He needs his allies and shills to continue painting him as the ultimate winner, even after he takes legal loss upon financial disaster.

I was on a project in Doral for four months during the wort of the summer, we all had apartments with attached unconditioned garages, by the time I left my apartment to the time I stepped foot into the car, I was drenched in sweat, then you spend the next 30 minutes driving to site, park, get out of your car, get soaking wet again, then spend 10-12 hours in an air conditioned studio, and repeat the same process going back to your apartment.

>>They're all untrustworthy fuckers who should never be given an inch. I mean, they are politicians.

DeSantis is a product of the Yale/Harvard/MIC borg, who's never actually worked a real job, so right there he can't be fully trusted.

Youngkin was the CEO of The Carlyle Group, so, again, can never be fully trusted.

I like JD Vance.

Having said that, Youngkin is probably going to be Trumps VP, and would be a good pick.

DeSantis can get into a knife fight with Rubio or Scott for a Senate seat for all I care, he's not going to be in the Trump administration and he's never going to be President.

So, there's that.

Or simply they want to make a deal for their legacy. Saint Ron as president had plenty of mis-steps as did DJT when they listened to the wrong people and trusted those. Ron had Lebanon, Iran Contra, and Amnesty as his mistakes along with being saddled with GHWB and not replacing him in 1984 as VP. DJT trusted former generals who were more loyal to the Uniparty and their senator patrons them the country, he trusted his legal team to not give him backstabbing uniparty judges to nominate, and so on. He trusted his AG to actually do what he should have done but apparently the disgrace of revealing an illegitimate Jeffy Jr from some floozy made him sterile and then he appointed Bill Barr to be undertaker for the rule of law.

I think Trump won by shitting on the entire political system in 2016. The establishment had to break every voting law in the books in 2020 to beat Trump after 5 years of the media calling him literally Hitler and then shutting down the American economy (mostly through blue states) to hurt him.

128 DeSantis was a nobody backbencher that even his wife would have had a hard time picking out of Congressional Class Photo.

This notion that he's some sui generis fighting, fighting CON hero is comical.


And Einstein was some nobody in the Swiss Patent Office...until he wasn't. I don't care what he did long ago, I care what he's doing now, and that has been a whole lot of good things.

Trump birthed all of these bozos and the thanks he gets for it is a knife in the back from Mr. I don't know nothing about Porn Star Hush Money Payments.

Seriously? We're back to "Trump is owed loyalty"?

148 Is there a way to "poison" diesel fuel?

I guess there might be, but I imagine it would take a lot to contaminate a ships fuel supply and make its engines and generators die 30 minutes after leaving port.


Electrical problems on ships are pretty common (salt water and electronics don't mix well) and this ship in particular apparently had a history of them. You can see the diesel engine start up and get set to full throttle almost immediately when the power comes back on the last time before it hit the bridge.

Also, someone on Twitter dug up a book that mentions that the Coast Guard had an active betting pool on a ship hitting the Key bridge when it first opened, so what happened wasn't unforseen.

Bummer. Honestly, this is sort of a typical sweetheart deal giant corps and major Party players get all the time.

They drop the matter against the state, and the state gives them immunity. No fines, no jail, nobody gets fired, and everybody walks away. Disney is the net loser - it lost Reedy Creek and so this sage is in fact a touch different from the typical routine - but nobody at Disney or the former Reedy Creek will be help accountable.

And did he just take on one bomb? No this guy, this sexy manly hunk of a man, who honestly reminds me of myself little, he asked for two bombs. I'll never forget the words he said to me as I got in the fighter plane to escort him, he said Joe you keep those Nips off me and I'll win this damn war. And damn but we did. I mean, it was really me, I shot down 50 planes over California before we even got to Japan, but FDR? He was almost as awesome as me that day.

But...but...I always have to remember that was the day we lost Beau. He was FDR's tail gunner, and some German...I think he was named Trump or Reagan or something...came in with his MIG and got in one lucky bullet. Damn you Trump! You killed Beau!

276 Rumors are swirlling that ship/bridge "accident" was the result of a "hack." I think they mean someone, probably Putin (right?), hacked into to the controls/navigattion and set the ship on a collision course.

I suspect it was a combination of foreign incompetence and chinese-made electronic junk.


On the ship end it was likely poor maintenance (cue a montage of the "the customer never changed their oil until the engine locked up" clips from Just Rolled In).

On the bridge end it was because every "expert" in the 70s said putting a bridge there just meant it would get knocked down, but the state wanted the cheapest possible option.

I love conspiracy theories too, but this seems obviously mundane.

If you aren't on/very near the coast, hurricanes are mostly just an inconvenience (power's out for a day or 3). But yes, insurance rates should be tied to the risk. Ditto for Tornado Alley, mudslides/wildfires in Cali, and various other places with fairly frequent problems.

I think it usually doesn't matter but Palin definitely brought in a ton from sadsack McCain. That landslide would have been epic and instead it was just embarrassing.

It was a wave election based almost entirely on the concept of Fixing Racism Forever (ironic!), and Obama was running against Bush's phantom third term and an utter POS candidate.

In this case Trump will want a united Party and I do think it matters somewhat. I don't like the choice myself but I think he could definitely do worse.

Hi. Me again. There are weather issues in a lot of states. We have had companies refuse and drop people who have never made a claim in over 30 years. Now Sally hit hard in 2020, but it didn’t lay every single house to rubble. And there have been years with nothing or low cat hurricanes.

Newt Gingrich had a column the other day---despite his lack of wisdom on the policy front--he was/is a historian. He discussed how Al Smith went from supporting FDR as governor to hating his guts as president for transforming the Dem party. He then uses that an a comparison with the Trump GOPe split. A lot of the elite GOP hate is simply because Trump for better or worse is transforming the GOP party from the bottom up.

A lot of teh GOPe wanted to be in the establishment and now they find that establishment is the worst thing one can do in the newer more populist GOP. That is why they are fighting a losing rearguard action and the Ronna Romney types are finding out whatever compromises they did for the Establishment won't get repaid. Lot of anxiety over that one.

358 I think the boat crash was a true accident due to the ship power failure. Winds were pushing the ship southerly. You can see the lights go off, the ship twisting towards the south (towards the camera). Then, when the power blinked back on, black smoke from the stack, probably the engines starting up again.

Also, when the lights went back on, only some of them were up. Sam Mercogliano speculates that was an emergency generator.

Power went off again, and when it was restored, you can see the ship just start to turn to port before it crashed.

So, I am thinking it was an unfortunate accident.

They also dropped the port anchor early, but you can't stop a big ass ship going 8 knots on a dime.

Jon Stewart found to have overvalued his NYC home by 829% after labeling Trump’s civil case ‘not victimless’

In 2014, Stewart sold his 6,280-square-foot Tribeca duplex to financier Parag Pande for $17.5 million. The property’s asking price at that time is not available in listing records.

But according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market-value at only $1.882 million. The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174.

Records also show that Stewart paid significantly lower property taxes, which were calculated based on that assessor valuation price — precisely what he called Trump out for doing in his Monday monologue.

Illegitimate Tyrant Biden Is Considering Granting Amnesty and Handing Out Green Cards to Illegal Aliens, On No Authority Except The Power He Has Usurped

Democracy's on the ballot, guys.

January 6th.

It was a bloodbath or something.


President Joe Biden is currently considering granting amnesty to illegal migrants in a bid to act on the worsening immigration crisis, according to Politico.

Biden and his administration are weighing several ideas to take a tougher stance on the southern border crisis and illegal immigration amid criticisms he has thus far failed to act on either. The administration could start dolling out green cards to illegal immigrants who have long stayed inside the United States, thereby giving them amnesty to stay in the country, three people familiar with the planning told Politico.

Everytime Biden or Democrats talk about "fixing the border," they immediately talk about simply making it legal to illegally cross the border.

There. It's fixed. They're not illegals anymore.

And they act as if they have responded to our demands in good faith, and offered us a real solution which we are just rejecting out of partisan spite.

And frankly, the Liberal Corporate Wing of the GOP does the same thing. We say "seal the border, build the wall," and they say, "I couldn't quite make that out, but it sounds like you want to double the number of HB-1 visas...?"


...


It would represent a larger effort by Biden to take action on behalf of illegal immigrants who have long stayed inside the U.S., the three officials told Politico. The Obama administration took similar action in 2012 with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which delayed the deportation of illegal migrants who came to the U.S. when they were minors.

Meanwhile, NY governess Kathy Hochul authorizes spending $2.4 billion in taxpayer money for "migrant care."

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed a $2.4 billion budget for migrant care, alongside plans to stimulate residential development in the state. This comes amidst the ongoing migrant crisis and the state's high rent and home prices.

Key Details:

Hochul's proposed budget includes an additional $2.4 billion for migrant care, on top of the $1.9 billion spent in 2023.
A significant portion of this budget is allocated for New York City, where Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams have agreed to spend $1.1 billion for illegal border crossers.
Hochul also plans to encourage more residential construction, in response to the state's high rent and home prices.

Biden's open border has taken the life of another US citizen. A criminal illegal alien was deported under Trump, but he snuck back into the country, taking advantage of Biden's "Welcome" policy.

And then he murdered a woman.

He's what you call an Category 5 Cultural Enricher.

A previously deported illegal alien is now accused of murdering 25-year-old Ruby Garcia in Kent County, Michigan.

Brandon Ortiz-Vite, a 25-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, has been arrested and charged with felony murder, open murder, carjacking, carrying a concealed weapon, and felony possession of a firearm in connection to the shooting death of Ruby Garcia.

According to police in Grand Rapids, Michigan, a Kent County Sheriff's Department Lieutenant found Garcia dead on March 22 with multiple gunshot wounds on the side of U.S. Highway 131.

On March 24, Ortiz-Vite was taken into custody by police. At the time of his arrest, he had a firearm in his possession and allegedly admitted to shooting Garcia with the firearm, which he said he had purchased illegally.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials confirmed that Ortiz-Vite is an illegal alien who was previously deported to Mexico from the United States in 2020.

It is the strategy of forcing political change to societal collapse through orchestrated crises.

This isn't a Biden or Democrat policy, this is a Deep State policy*. Meaning the vast majority of the Republican Party is fully on board with this as well. Since they have been on board with it since at least 2006.

Posted by: Moron Robbie - Done told that bridge twiced at March 27, 2024 12:14 PM (WF0+t)


An oath can only be considered binding (and thus meaningful) when the person taking the oath believes in the concept of an oath having deeper meaning.

Very few cultures have ever been able to do this, and then only for a very short time, and there is at least one culture that specifically releases its members from being bound to any oath that conflicts with that culture!

Mexico is a client state of the US. We could take over the country but it's more trouble than it's worth. Mexico is in the awkward position of being technically subservient to the US while (at the moment) being stronger willed.

That will turn after the election and ensuing confrontation between Obrador or his successor and Trump should be entertaining.

206 Since the courts threw out every lawsuit brought to it in 2020 and 2022, what makes you think that any new efforts at lawsuits will be successful in 2024?


Two things:
1) They (judges) got away with it in years past because people didn't quite believe what they were seeing, and thus didn't fight it. We believed we were immune to this sort of thing. I think there are a lot fewer people now who don't question the integrity of our elections.
2) Whatley and Trump have said that we will be strongly proactive this time. IOW, we will have prepositioned legal teams so that the judges can't pull the old "sorry, the election is over and it's too late" dodge. If I were a judge, and I pulled what they did in 2020 again, I'd be worried about whether or not I'd make it home alive. People are angry.

Of course, it's easy to mock "armies of lawyers", etc., and it's a lot harder to actually do anything substantive, but if the obvious panic among the Dems is any indication, they don't think a repeat of 2020 will work for them.

Or you can see the utterly unprecedented restrictions, violations and irregularities they pushed solely due to Covid.

I mean: Not letting Trump (or anyone) hold rallies; drop boxes everywhere; everyone getting mail ballots; no signature verification, no dates, no postmark; no chain of custody; no court challenges allowed before, during, or after; counting stopped then started in secret at the same time in 6 states in 5 different time zones.
And more.

It's pretty simple when you think about it.

The Presidency and the Senate are easy to steal. We've watched it multiple times over the last few years. The House isn't. It's got a built-in resiliency to fraud.

This overcomes that through sheer numbers.

The first level shouldn't be the courts. The first level should be the governors, secretaries of state, the AGs and the states' legislative branches. There were some serious power grabs in 2020. Blatantly illegal and as far as I can tell, all helped Biden.


I haven't heard anything about that, but it would certainly make sense to do both in parallel, and I suspect they're gaming that out now. I'm not sure exactly how you'd approach an elected state official, but there are probably back channels that can be used.

Honestly, over the history of the country, judges have stolen away plenty of power from the Chief Executive.

It could be argued that had the Court not stolen all this executive power from the Presidency, there would not be such temptation to overreach into the areas they aren't *supposed* to do.

I can't think constant "oversight" by suits against Presidential actions was ever part of the design of the Cons., though.

The Federalist says that if we are going to give a man the reins of the federal government over an agenda, he should be able to get his agenda done, so the people could judge for themselves whether or not it was a good decision.

Here and there you can see that somewhere around 60-70 percent of the population is uniting in loathing elites in the USA. I don't think that the Uniparty quite knows, because they are maleducated, what they are dealing with.

In Chinese history, one could always predict when a peasant revolution would occur and foreign invaders welcome--it was when over 50 percent of the wealth that a peasant generated was given to the jackals of government and the landlord class.

Easiest way for the peasants to stop that was to support foreign invasion and the get rid of the landlords.

384 "It would represent a larger effort by Biden to take action on behalf of illegal immigrants who have long stayed inside the U.S., the three officials told Politico. The Obama administration took similar action in 2012 with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which delayed the deportation of illegal migrants who came to the U.S. when they were minors."


I am sure this means the results of DNC and Biden Campaign private polls and focus groups of Hispanics and The Julias indicate a lot of sympathy for illegals who've long been in the US and are sorta-productive and able to fend for themselves. IOW, the latest green card trial balloon is a purely political move to appeal to the compassion of Hispanic and Julia voters for that class of illegals.

"Compassion" is also the reason the Uniparty-Media Complex always portrays all illegals as saints. And in the case of a raping and murdering illegal, the subliminal message sent out is that he is no worse than American (white) criminals, one of whom sooner or later would have raped and killed the same woman.

394 The fight for legalization was furthered in 1979, when legislation was passed to make abortion more easily accessible by Cuban women. Since then, abortion in Cuba has remained easily accessible as well as free countrywide from Cuba's national public healthcare system.

Cuba - currently included within US Humanitarian Parole. Recently reported women have had an average of 5 abortions, plus have given birth, in their lifetimes.

That was just the ones they didn't plan for as well..
Our elections are as straight as Denver's Gay Games.
Even places we think are "normal" are not..
GOP "winners", the ones with power are assets of the IC. Other ones are kicked out, or lose races... or left to sit backbench until they quit or are run out.
Take an objective look at the GOP, if they were truly opposition they'd win. However they don't.. is it because they don't want to win? No. They want to win but need to still pretend there is a choice so they play a role. We are told we need to be this way because of Independents.. but that's a lie. Its all lies.

Wednesday Morning Rant

mannixape2.jpg

Priorities

Imagine that you are a leader in one of America's large cities, and - in a surprise to nobody, because it's the norm - that city is a hellhole and getting worse. What would you work on? Facing the monumental task of managing a major city that appears to be stuck in an inescapable spiral of decline, what would you do? Would you try to tackle one or more major problems or try to improve quality of life for the residents?

Well, we know the answer in at least one case: no, of course not. The city in question is my former home town of Denver, Colorado. Denver, like all major cities and especially wholly-owned Party cities, is not exactly doing well. It's by no means the worst major city in the country, but it's working manfully to close the gap.

If you're a problem-solver - real or merely aspirational - Denver should represent nirvana for you. There is opportunity aplenty for improvement in that once-fair city. Where to begin? You could try to roust and suppress the sprawling camps of vagrants that have been a continuous presence for years. If that seems like too much of a hot button issue, you could try to "move the needle" on "public safety" more generally, since the dangers of everyday city life are escalating, and crime rates haven't exactly been a bright spot. Maybe the big social problems aren't for you. You could go after something comparatively simple, like addressing the city's declining and undersized infrastructure. Maybe, if you're feeling really ambitious, you could try some aggressive enforcement to go after the fentanyl problem rather than just advising people not to dope up by themselves.

But that's all pretty hard. Like all failing cities, Denver needs a marketing push - a big distraction from those hard problems. What better option than courting a large, Party-friendly, identity-movement aligned, exclusive event for a minority population that will never provide a return on investment? We're getting close to something really promising now. There is just such an event, and Denver is in estrus trying to attract it. It isn't soon, but it will really put Denver on the map for things that matter. That event is the "Gay Games."

An international athletic contest by, for and consisting of homosexuals. This is the kind of inclusivity for which we should all strive. I didn't know that homosexuals needed their own games because they were banned from the real Olympics and other contests, but I guess you learn something every day. But why Denver? What makes Denver such a great choice for the international homosexual athletic contest? Why, "urban sophistication" and "empowerment," of course:

Urban sophistication meets outdoor adventure in Denver, where the bid for the 2030 Gay Games represents more than a global event; it's a symbol of progress and inclusivity. Denver, recognized as the #5 spot on AAA's Top 50 cities list, aspires to captivate a wide audience with the electrifying spirit of the Gay Games, aligning seamlessly with founder Tom Waddell's vision of an ever-expanding community. The city's rich history of successfully hosting LGBTQ+ events, combined with its commitment to diversity and inclusion, sets the stage for a transformative experience.
In the marketing page for the city's bid, the city adheres to the standard marketing playbook and loudly ignores any problems:
World-class attractions. Natural wonders. A thriving arts scene. Dozens of innovative and acclaimed restaurants. Nightlife options galore. The word is getting out - Denver's got it all.
No mention of the vagrant camps, boarded-up windows, fentanyl zombies or the rampant drug use, filth and violence on public transportation. No mention, of course, of the dominant 2024 theme in America's cities: the influx of illegal aliens that result in cuts borne by legal residents. None of that would be "on brand."

In a city plagued with Progressive ailments, the city's leadership focuses on nonsense like plastic bag bans and international athletic contests of homosexual prowess. The latter should really help with the medical capacity crisis, too.

It's clear that Denver has its priorities straight.

DHS has sex and drug trafficking across the US and over intl borders as one of their purviews.

Strictly speaking though, federal law enforcement does not have a firm jurisdictional requirement for investigative agencies but more an informal arrangement that is complicated by liaisons and joint task force types of arrangements. This appears to be more a task force type leo arrangement with a lead agency and multiple other agencies getting their slice of the pie.

120 French Senators want to ban gender transition treatments for under-18s, after a report described sex reassignment in minors as potentially “one of the greatest ethical scandals in the history of medicine”.

The report, commissioned by the opposition centre-Right Les Republicains (LR) party, documents various practices by health professionals, which it claims are indoctrinated by a “trans-affirmative” ideology under the sway of experienced trans-activist associations.

The report, which cites a “tense scientific and medical debate”, accuses such associations of encouraging gender transition in minors via intense propaganda campaigns on social media.

Jacqueline Eustache-Brinio, an LR senator who led the working group behind the report, concluded that “fashion plays a big role” in the rise of gender reassignment treatments.

167 157 It's amazing how so many beautiful American cities have been decimated and destroyed (or are on that direct path) by the Democrats. They create hell-on-earths everywhere they rule. Decay, crime, cesspools of immorality, etc. Yet...they still push their idiotic ideology and policies that have taken once-revered cities that are now swirling the figurative and literal toilet. It boggles my mind.

Hence the classic feghoot about the men who had discovered a species of bottle-nosed dolphins that lived for hundreds of years if fed a special diet of seagulls. Access to the seagull processing plant was guarded by a pair of noble lions at the entry to the estate. The men snuck in and tried to smuggle out some seagulls but they were caught and charged with transporting gulls across estate lions for immortal porpoises.

177 Urban combat is about as bad as war gets. That's not just for the soldiers doing the fighting — it's also for the civilians caught up in it. Typically, civilian casualties far outnumber military casualties in city fighting.

Until now.

John Spencer is the chair of urban warfare studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point and an infantry combat veteran. He's just back from the Gaza Strip, where he witnessed the extraordinary measures Israel has taken to avoid civilian casualties.

"By my analysis," Spencer reported for Newsweek on Monday, "Israel has implemented more precautions to prevent civilian harm than any military in history — above and beyond what international law requires and more than the U.S. did in its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan."

The net result — and this is that "utterly remarkable" thing — is that civilian casualties do not outnumber military losses. The best estimate is just one civilian casualty for each military casualty.

Israel has accomplished this unprecedented feat "in intense urban warfare against an enemy trying to maximize its own civilian casualties."

Obama believes the 2024 election will be an “incredibly” close race [ no it won't ], CNN reported Monday, necessitating an in-person visit on Friday to the White House. Biden’s public schedule, which often shows little information about his agenda, did not reflect the meeting.

Obama is not expected to directly campaign for Biden, a blow to the president, whom former special counsel Robert Hur referenced as “an elderly man with a poor memory.” Instead, he will focus on shoring up Biden’s fundraising and shrinking support among black and Latino voters, CNN reported.

Family law!

A male is required to pay child support if:

1) He is the biological father of the child.
or
2) He is married to the woman who had the child.

One would think that the standard would be one or the other, but "the best interest of the child" requires that it be both.

One wonders why they don't simply force a randomly selected male to pay child support if they can't find anyone under standard #1 or #2 - after all, that would be in "the best interest of the child".

They've known this for a long time. In the 1990s there were a lot of studies showing that women not only cheat at rates similar to men, but they are more mercenary about it: they tend to cheat at just the right time to maximize a pregnancy. It was theorized that this was due to the evolutionary desirability of having multiple reproductive partners to maximize the genetic variation of her offspring and thus her gene's chances of surviving.

People really don't like thinking about this sort of thing, but the theory on why the human male organ is shaped as it is, particularly the hat at the top of it, is designed that way to scoop and flush out the genetic material that may already be present in the female's opening.

As his genetic material is injected inward, it gives him better odds that the offspring will carry his genes.

Not a guarantee, but a fighting chance.

Isn't that lovely?

Sponge, hate to tell you this but even if you abstain, if you have sisters, brothers, cousings, parents, etc. providing DNA evidence to third parties--it is relatively trivial to narrow down what yours is nowadays.

That is now the hot 'thing' in cold cases is to use familial dna via third parties to get warrants to compel production of DNA by a suspect.

Then, there is the whole abandoned property issue if you discard any food or drink wrappers in a public place (varies by state as far as your trash bins). The po po can if they desire run DNA sequencing on that.

We are not far from courts treating DNA evidence being as something like fingerprints and images of people as intrinsic identifiers. The current Katz v. US case allows expectations of privacy to shrink because it is a general societal expectation that matters as far as privacy and NOT that of an individual.

If you use DEI, WOKE, or CRT as a pejorative, then you are probably the racist in the room.

DEI, CRT, and Unconscious Bias training are flooding through healthcare and medical schools. It is already negatively effecting healthcare in the nation and if not stopped, will reach critical mass and the resulting deaths and lowered quality of healthcare for all.

So, Mr. Fake Doctor, should you or a family member gets real sick and needs surgery, do you care if the surgeon is competent and highly skilled or that he/she is the right skin color (non-white) and checks all of your DEI boxes?

I suggest the solution to this is to split the baby: as long as a man remains married to the cheating wife, he is responsible for the care of all the children, his own, and the ringer(s). But if they divorce, then he shall be on the hook for only his own. Mama can look elsewhere to support the bastard.

Tom Currigan - until 1968: competent, not very corrupt, not very left wing even though a dem.

Bill McNichols - 1968-1983: not very competent, highly corrupt, not very left wing even though a dem.

Federico Pena - 1983-1991: competent, not visibly corrupt, terrifyingly left wing.

Wellington Webb - 1991-2003: mostly competent, breathtakingly corrupt, not as left wing as those who served before or after him.

John Hickenlooper - 2003-2011: mostly competent, not corrupt in the usual sense, terrifyingly left wing, crazy as a bedbug. unfortunately mentored many extreme leftists who subsequently got involved in city council and state legislature. he left mayor's office to become governor and now is a US Senator.

Michael Hancock - 2011-2023: highly incompetent, dazzlingly corrupt, farther left than Mao.

The way that the courts have interpreted is in line with ancient common law and statutes brought over from Britain. Specifically, the reasonableness clause allows temporal changes--for example in the 1600's, visual identification and requiring people to submit to authorities for such identification meant that your outside visage is not protected by privacy. At the time, po po could hardly hire portraiture artists but could disseminate how a suspect looked as far as physical description. Then when photos became widespread, then police could use them for suspect identification and elimination along with general description etc. Fingerprints, etc. are all fair game as outside visage.

To this day, I still can't drive a stick. I've done it, out of necessity, a couple of times, but I probably nearly destroyed transmissions doing it.

I have a long learning curve when it comes to mechanical things, and no one, not even my adoring mother, ever had the patience, or the toleration of possible transmission damage, to teach me how to drive a stick.

I didn't know that the correct word for when a moving vessel hits a stationary object is not "collision" but rather "allision," which has a Latin root (allisio) and means "to strike."

"Collision," however, comes from the French which comes from the late Latin, which comes from the root Latin. Collide had a much longer journey through language than allide.

A friend of mine tried to teach me to drive his stick shift car so that I could drive him home if he drank too much.

Unfortunately, one of the ball joints turned out to be completely rusted out, and broke while he was trying to teach me, and I was behind the wheel.

They were on the bridge doing road deck repairs. Six are still missing. All were married. They have kids. They came here for a better life.

And yet all we ever hear about immigrants is slams and insults. Generated by youknowwho...

heart breaking. and the one who refused aid might be here with out a green card. hope he is ok and i feel so badly for them and their families!

I so hope they saved themselves and left the scene as quickly as they could for personal reasons. That would mean there is hope they are still alive, even though it would affirm that they didn’t trust our system.

Very few. There are some municipalities with bad water, and some bad wells. It does happen, but it's pretty unusual. Most of the American water and sewage (sanitation) system - urban or rural - is the envy of the world.

It takes a monumental amount of energy, infrastructure and effort to achieve and maintain it. Nobody does it better for now. The climate fascists and corrupt incompetents are working on that superiority, though, and will bring it down to the mean ASAP.

230 Tying things back to the bridge collapse, however...8 men hit the 47F water at 130AM. They were from Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico. They were in their 30s an early 40s. They were on the bridge doing road deck repairs. Six are still missing. All were married. They have kids. They came here for a better life.

And yet all we ever hear about immigrants is slams and insults. Generated by youknowwho...

heart breaking. and the one who refused aid might be here with out a green card. hope he is ok and i feel so badly for them and their families!

I so hope they saved themselves and left the scene as quickly as they could for personal reasons. That would mean there is hope they are still alive, even though it would affirm that they didn’t trust our system.

252 Interesting painting. The colors and texture of the paint and brush strokes remind me of works from the 18th century more than the 19th. (Or maybe it just needs a good cleaning.) What makes the image for me is the pose of the woman. It is perfect for capturing the effort it takes to fill and carry a bucket of water along with probably a lot of other chores. The way she leans against the wall is indicative. And I like the way the bit of landscape in the distance on the left side peeks through. Makes me think of the style used in the Mona Lisa and other paintings from that era.

You will see a beautiful 1920's Italianesque mansion surrounded by 3-bedroom 1950's clapboard houses. Wandering blacks talking to themselves seem common. Really amazing disparity of construction techniques and materials. Methinks they need to unleash the dozers and improve the city. Back in the day (late 70s/early 80s) Richmond had a choice on its future. To have the growth and renewal they could have expanded Richmond's airport to me meet international standards. They decided to wave off and Charlotte scooped the rewards instead. Its really too bad. Richmond has some remarkable bones.

Not a specialist in intl law but navigated around it. Basically, treaties signed by parties are the alleged bedrock of international law, then there is the penumbra of coverage to non-signatories based on the number of countries ratifying a treaty which creates a customary intl law, and last is the proceedings of various international organizations such as OAS, UN, etc. and their official organs such as the International Court of Justice or International Criminal Court.

In real terms, international law, like domestic law, rely on the ability of states to act to enforce the law and the will to do so. Otherwise, pretty much a dead letter such as the Philippine victory at the ICJ over China regarding islands and economic zone in the S. China Sea.

Most of "public health" comes down to four things:
1. Keep the water clean
2. Take the shit away, and keep it out of the water
3. Keep the food clean
4. Take the trash away, and keep it out of the streets

Those four things are almost certainly responsible for more improvement in general health and longevity than the medical system. Those four things are also *very* hard to achieve, and very expensive.

And what makes those four things possible is under attack by the progs. It takes gobs of energy, and the progs are anti-energy. It takes lots of barriers and containment vessels, and the progs are anti-plastic. Single-use plastics are vital part of the public health chain.

302 Was in Richmond yesterday for my birthday with Future Leader and his mom. Zoning in Richmond is interesting. You will see a beautiful 1920's Italianesque mansion surrounded by 3-bedroom 1950's clapboard houses. Wandering blacks talking to themselves seem common. Really amazing disparity of construction techniques and materials. Methinks they need to unleash the dozers and improve the city. Back in the day (late 70s/early 80s) Richmond had a choice on its future. To have the growth and renewal they could have expanded Richmond's airport to me meet international standards. They decided to wave off and Charlotte scooped the rewards instead. Its really too bad. Richmond has some remarkable bones.

I drove through it a couple of days ago. When I was a yoot, their were old smokestacks painted as cigarettes as a landmark. Those are now gone, and replaced by a massive, sterile-looking plant for Philip-Morris cigarettes. I was offered a chemist job there long ago, but declined.

There are lots of refugee yoots from NoVa who tell me that Richmond is the hot new city and the place to be. I'm skeptical, but what do I know?

I'd say it has pretty serious regional impacts. HAZMAT transportation through Maryland via the I-95 / US-1 corridor will need a different route. Either they take I-695 (Baltimore Beltway) in the opposite direction to get around the city, or they detour Baltimore completely via US-50 / US-301 and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
THe opposite direction on the Baltimore Beltway is already a clusterf*ck of traffic. Add in the local commuters who will spill onto it because of the increased traffic on the 2 harbor tunnels, and it will make that route even more miserable.

Yes, and no.

The ports have to be equipped with the proper loading/unloading cranes and other equipment for the type of ships they expect to service.

For example; Baltimore is one of the larger ports of entry for Mercedes Benz and BMW vehicles. Both manufacturers have huge receiving centers for those. And the infrastructure to get those cars to various dealers depending on who ordered what. Another port cannot simply fill that void.

I believe this will cause some significant disruptions for certain things. That's the reason I would like to know what is on the ships that cannot now dock in Baltimore.

I am not one who refuses to consider the possibility of the government of Israel being in error however...

The Geneva Convention requires both sides to adhere to the rules, like declaring war, and wearing uniforms. Rules Hamas eschews. Hamas does not have any mechanism to differentiate between combatants and non-combatants. Hamas, the elected government of Gaza.

Presumably, any Gazans who approached the IDF - possibly nude to make it harder to hide weapons - slowly and in a non-threatening manner in an effort to surrender and then claim to be civilian, would not be slain out of hand.

Yeah I don’t disagree. But my argument is things like that can be dealt with quickly. There are other auto staging centers near other ports that can be used. Trucks can be re-routed easily.

364 356 The Geneva Convention requires both sides to adhere to the rules, like declaring war, and wearing uniforms. Rules Hamas eschews. Hamas does not have any mechanism to differentiate between combatants and non-combatants. Hamas, the elected government of Gaza.

Presumably, any Gazans who approached the IDF - possibly nude to make it harder to hide weapons - slowly and in a non-threatening manner in an effort to surrender and then claim to be civilian, would not be slain out of hand.

A port closing (especially due to something like this) should cause disruption. But it shouldn't be crippling. This is why you have multiple ports. This is the problem with Big .... anything. It leads to less redundancy and less robustness.

The Morning Report — 3/27/24

kwaimekwainot.jpg

Good morning, kids. Could there possibly be a more appropriate metaphor for the state of this nation than what happened yesterday morning in Baltimore? And of course, the cherry on the parfait of flaming horse dung – a sack of which evidently was deposited on the doorstep of Jake Sullivan and is being investigated by the FBI as a potential act of terrorism – is vegetable-in-chief Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' comments:

"It’s my intention that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge," he said, "and I expect to — the Congress to support my effort." It seems a bit premature to be talking about rebuilding the bridge and discussing how it will be paid for while people are still missing, but that's Joe Biden for you.

But what gets me is the way he tried to connect himself to the tragedy, by claiming that he took the train over the bridge many, many times. "At about 1:30, a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which I’ve been over many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either on a train or by car," he said. "I’ve been to Baltimore Harbor many times. And the bridge collapsed, sending several people and vehicles into the water — into the river."I

t's a cute story, but the Francis Scott Key Bridge doesn't have any tracks on it — just two lanes for car traffic in each direction. So despite what he claims, Biden never once took the train over that bridge. So the big question is, why would he say that? Biden's commuting habits have long been a part of his political mythology, as he reportedly commuted from his home in Delaware to Washington, D.C. via Amtrak daily during his years in the U.S. Senate. . . Yada, yada, yada. 

In truth, I wouldn't doubt that he probably crossed the bridge more than once in his life, but his desperate need to insert himself into the tragedy caused him to once again embellish his life story with falsehoods.

Joe Biden doesn't merely insert himself into a tragedy because of mere egomania and to assuage deep-seated feelings of inadequacy. Dementia aside, the volume and ferocity of his lashing out at his enemies is in inverse proportion to his accomplishments, scruples and value as a human being. He puts himself in the middle of events both for personal and political gain. Like every other uni-testicular/shrill barren spinster Leftist, despot and tyrant (but I repeat myself) has done since time immemorial.

Huge tip of the hat to the genius who coined the phrase "Munchausen's by Progressivism." It's at the heart of my political philosophy. To wit: every problem, tragedy, and disaster that has befallen the American people is either the fault of or exacerbated by orders of magnitude by Leftists, socialists, progressivism and their main entity, the Democrat Party. Any other discussion about retail politics, candidates, personalities and such is irrelevant. My assertion above is the only factor in weighing who and what to vote for and for sure, against.

Back to the initial gravamen of my discourse vis a vis the bridge, as well as the ideologically-driven incompetence that has seriously rotted out the infrastructure of our society, the nagging suspicion that this couldn't have been merely an accident is gnawing at me. The reason? The FBI is immediately ruling out what happened as deliberate:

Special agent Bill DelBagno of the FBI’s Baltimore field office agreed, saying, “The FBI on very first looking at and assessing this matter from an investigative standpoint, I want to be clear there is no specific or credible information to suggest there are ties to terrorism in this incident.”

“The FBI has been part of this response from the beginning… we will bring whatever resources that the FBI has to bear. We’ve already brought our crisis response, our victim services, and just recently our underwater search evidence recovery teams are on site,” DelBagno added.

“As the investigation goes on we will take it to its logical conclusion along with our partners. To the people of Baltimore, I ask you to be patient as we go through this and as information becomes available to us.”

This is the same FBI, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DOJ which in and of itself is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the anti-American Left and Democrat Party that along with the CIA and the media fabricated the so-called Steele Dossier as proof that Donald Trump colluded with Vladimir Putin to steal the 2016 election. That fabricated an "insurrection" narrative of the events of January 6th, 2021 to destroy not only Trump but any average citizen who was in DC that day merely exercising their First Amendment right to protest (our latest episode of the podcast with CBD and legal eagle "Vox Clamantis" is a must-listen on this subject, linked here and in the sidebar). The same FBI that is burying the "investigation" into the pipe bombs at RNC and DNC headquarters that no doubt they likely planted. The same FBI that has failed in preventing at least a dozen terrorist attacks since and of course including 9/11/01 yet is hell bent for leather to declare statistically non-existent "white supremacists" as well as climate change our greatest threat to national security. That actively targets parents at school board meetings and peaceful protesters in front of abortion mills as the real terrorists. And on and on and on.

The more I think about it, the more this thing stinks to high heaven. With a statement like that from this DelBagno flunky, there is no way in hell the FBI and by extension the Junta will ever backtrack. As time goes on, I suspect a cover-up will be in full effect, especially as November looms ever closer:

Steve Bannon noted Tuesday that the official explanation of what happened “doesn’t make sense.” He asked “how the ship turned directly into that [pylon] and the pilot didn’t drop the anchor? Dropping the anchor might’ve ripped the front of the ship apart, but it wouldn’t have taken out the bridge.”

All right, that’s a telling point, but there is no need to rush headlong down the rabbit hole. Maybe the pilot panicked. Maybe he had a terrible lapse in judgment. There is, however, much more. The courageous investigative journalist Lara Logan revealed that according to “multiple intel sources,” the destruction of the bridge was an “‘absolutely brilliant strategic attack’ on US critical infrastructure – most likely cyber – & our intel agencies know it.”

. . . Logan listed some of the ways in which the collapse of the bridge would hurt the nation, and thus aid our enemies: “Second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material now down for 4-5 years – which is how long they say it will take to recover. Bridge was built specifically to move hazardous material – fuel, diesel, propane gas, nitrogen, highly flammable materials, chemicals and oversized cargo that cannot fit in the tunnels – that supply chain now crippled.” She also pointed out that the ship hit one of “two load-bearing pylons on each end” of the bridge; these are “the anchor points,” and Logan said that the attackers “knew that hitting either one one of them would be a fatal wound to the integrity of the bridge.” The attack, she added, was “perfectly targeted.”

. . . General Michael Flynn seemed to agree with Logan that the takedown of the bridge was intentional, or at very least was the result of incompetence in key positions. Flynn said: “This is a BLACK SWAN event. Black swans normally come out of the world of finance (not military). The standard operating procedures for all U.S. ports, harbors, and bays that transit commerce and military activities are supposed to maintain an incredible level of discipline, rigor and awareness for these very type events to not occur (ever!), yet here we are. There are harbor masters for every single one of these transit points in America that are in charge of assuring the safety of navigation…start there.” A black swan event is an unforeseen incident that has massive repercussions. . .

. . . Yes, it has come to this: our government, intelligence and law enforcement officials are so untrustworthy that if they say an incident is not terrorism, it very likely is. The collision of the ship with the Francis Scott Key Bridge could end up being a testimony to the fecklessness and incompetence of local officials and the others involved, which is born of far too much time and money being squandered on Critical Race Theory, gender madness and the like, instead of on training competent personnel. Whether or not the destruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge really was a terror attack, it will certainly weaken the nation, and in that it benefits the enemies of the United States.

The estimable Robert Spencer is dead right about that. But his statement introduces a very frightening possibility that cannot be ignored; That those who now control our government, the criminal justice system, the media and who are now the sole arbiters of right and wrong, and really good and evil are themselves the greatest enemy of the United States. Far more than even Islam, the ChiComs and the globalists. Probably because to one extent or another, they share the same goal: the destruction of America and nearly 2,000 years of societal and civilizational advancement from tyranny to individual liberty.

That is what the definition of "American exceptionalism" is. Not a boast of superiority vis a vis ubermenschen, but that our government and society as it was founded and intended was the exception to all others that came before it. One that was based on the notion of putting the individual at the top of the heap and a government that was limited in its scope and power, to guarantee and safeguard the rights and liberties of the individual citizen.

We sure as hell aren't that now. Probably haven't been that way for many years or even decades. And now because of a combination of factors, the illusion "that our flag was still there" has been completely exploded. The actions of the junta against we the people of We The People are undeniable. We are still enough of a threat to them, electoral and judicial shenanigans notwithstanding, by our mere presence that they have no compunction whatsoever in preventing us from even trying to reverse course "by any means necessary."

For those wholly unaware, due to 12 or more years of brainwashing via American academia, "that our flag was still there" is a line from the National Anthem. Not the Black National Anthem but the real one. The one that overpaid pituitary cases, wife-beaters and lowlives like Colin Kaepernick take a knee for. It's based on a poem written by Francis Scott Key, for whom the ruins of the smashed and shattered bridge was named after.

I assume that when, or even if it is ever rebuilt, it will be named "The Beau Biden/Big Guy Helluva Thing." That or whatever anti-American communist, Islamic, transexual pervert du jour they can come up with. And the 10% they can come up with for said Big Guy to make it happen.

I'm betting it'll be the "Allahu Akbar Kill the Yids Bridge to Paradise." No doubt designed by a graduate from the Claudine Gay School of Engineering. Maybe even Ahmed Mohammed, the 9th-grader from Dallas who built a clock for his science project!

Of course, if it actually gets built and not become another California High Speed Rail or Alaskan bridge to nowhere boondoggle, it will explode and collapse on a Jewish holiday, or a future 9/11 anniversary so they can blame the Mossad.

Let us assume, for the moment, that the destruction of the bridge was intentional. I can virtually guarantee that the blame will not fall on Chynah, it will not fall on "our partners in peace" - the muslims, the blame will be placed on Russia. It will be used to ramp the Russia hate up again and used as an excuse to get us into a direct shooting war with Russia.

Now, let us assume that the destruction of the bridge was NOT intentional. What are the chances that the FBI, paragons of truth and justice that they are, will discover, to their horror, a Russian connection?

32 I dunno about the Baltimore bridge incident being a conventional terrorist attack.

If it were, you'd think they'd target the bridge during the middle of the day when it was full of traffic and therefore cause a great deal more loss of life.

A covert act of war, though, is entirely plausible as it causes tremendous confusion, panic, and economic damage to The Powers That Be (assuming they aren't behind it all) *without* a huge loss of life, which can be counterproductive in some cases.

I don't know how liability works in this sort of thing and if the shipper takes on all financial burdens (I doubt it because I'd imagine if an EV sank the ship the EV manufacturer would be liable), but I'm betting the shipping company, Amazon, Best Buy, Temu, etc. would have a few dollars laying around for their responsibility in the matter.

And other anti-vouchers face upcoming runoffs. I’d bet that anti-voucher members all voted to impeach Paxton. FAFO

I have no idea why the power kept going out on the ship. I do have an idea that an anchor being deployed changed the course of the ship in the final minute. They say it was only the port (left) side anchor which was deployed but the starboard (right) side anchor is not visible.

In a narrow channel the deeper water would have been on the port side. Shallower water on the starboard side. The anchor on that side would be more likely to 'bite' first which would bring the ship into the bridge support.

57 Bloomberg Intelligence reports:

Reinsurers Could Bear Brunt of Baltimore Bridge Collapse Claims

The bulk of claims from the March 26 Baltimore bridge collapse will likely fall on reinsurers. The ship has about $3 billion of reinsurance coverage over a $100 million retention. Chubb is reported to be the lead insurer on the bridge's property cover but might recover losses paid. We note it's still early, and this will be a complex loss.

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at March 27, 2024 07:53 AM (QNSds)

The SS Lockbox was raided by Ida May Fuller. Little did know she would find a piece of history inside her mailbox when she opened it on a February day in 1940. When the 65-year-old retiree and lifelong Republican lifted the lid of the mailbox outside the front door of her Ludlow, Vermont, house, she found a check for $22.54 from the U.S. government.
Fuller received quite a healthy return on her contributions to the Social Security system. For three years prior to her retirement, she paid $24.75 of payroll taxes into the federal safety net. In the 35 years after her retirement, she received $22,888.92 in benefits, 924 times what she contributed to the program.

80 Could it be that the foundation for the bridge was not sufficiently protected from impact because wetland regulations prevented construction of a large riprap lined earthfill? See Hart Miller dredged material disposal sites as example. Similar Power pylons adjacent to bridge do have addional fenders, not rock.

That decision might be documented in the environmental coordination in the 1970s.

Large container ships also pass under Ravenell Bridge in Charleston.

Decades of conditioning. Fight the patriarchy and girl power and all that. A tiny, seemingly insignificant example? Getting mad when men hold doors for them. Fine, men (society) stops holding doors for you. You go, girl. Girl power, girl boss, etc. You're stronk and independent and don't need no man. Over and over and over.

And now there's a fight that is directed specifically at them, and they're figuring out that men did their best to adhere to their wishes. Men stopped helping.

And men can't help anyway, even though men are STILL the ones standing up and saying "This is wrong and it has to stop." They have to do it themselves, but they refuse. I suspect in part because of the decades of conditioning to reject men's help.

So instead women vanish from women's sports, and it will be men's fault.

97 WTF:
It all started when two children, brothers ages 7 and 12, were seen on camera riding their bikes and stopping on the driveway of a Harris County house. According to local reports that cited neighbors, the 56-year-old woman who lives there had a known history of mental health problems and would often yell random and even aggressive things at passersby.

But while most people’s response to such a thing would be to just keep walking, the boys, who live in the neighborhood, can be seen pausing at the home for a few moments before riding away. They then return a few moments later, with the older child holding something in his hand. He parks his bike, runs into the open garage where the woman was standing, and proceeds to stab her multiple times in the abdomen. The pair then get back on their bikes and flee the scene.

128 MV Dali is a Singapore-registered container ship completed in 2015 and owned by Grace Ocean Pte Ltd. As of March 2024, the vessel was chartered by Maersk and managed and operated by Synergy Marine Group.[3]

On 26 March 2024, the ship allided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, causing a catastrophic structural failure of the bridge in which one to seven people died.[7][8]

I was thinking of the looky-loo types and how the smooth brained commuters would see the flashy police barricades on the bridge boarding side and slow down to rubber neck preventing a long line of other drivers from getting off the bridge rather than going Dukes of Hazzard towards safety.

Go to 11:15 to see her handler BTW. The woman couldn't care less about her or her health. Just her location. She'd tracked her there, told the cops she was her friend and was concerned since she'd left a family function, but she doesn't know her "friend's" current address or how long her friend has been in town. Completely comfortable standing down the cops.

So… You MIGHT be able to get a new one slapped up in a year, but there’s A LOT of roadblocks.

1) Cleanup of the harbor.

2) Current condition of the pier that was hit. That will take likely a month to inspect (this is a wild guess)

3) The architectural design. Maybe the city of Baltimore thinks the steel truss that was there is too “industrial chic” and wants something more modern - maybe on the line of a cable stayed bridge using a single central pier.

4) Contractor selection and material procurement.

5) Permitting… yech.

My guess is 3 years, minimum, to get the replacement up.

That is the point. There is a conflict of visions at play. When Biden came out and said that tax payers from around the nation will be debt financing the replacement, given the current set of fiscal idiots at the helm, I expect this bridge to be priced at something that you would see in Dubai.

So do they slap up a quick four laner standard bridge design or work their way down the continuum of possibilities towards an aspirational monument complete with streets of gold and pearly gates and name it after Obama or George Floyd?

From what the Governor said, they are promising an inspirational monument, which means that it will be shopped to international LGBT+ design firms and haggled over for decades on what the final artistic design should look like.

156 With regards the Baltimore Incident, looking at the telemetry and tracking information, the vessel was on a track through the gigantic opening between the two piers then something happens and it turns sharply and heads directly for the pier, like, directly into the pier.

Three white men, who later claimed to police that they assumed he was a burglar, pursued Arbery in their trucks for several minutes, using the vehicles to block his path as he tried to run away...

====
Two pilots were taken to the hospital Monday night after their Army helicopter crashed on Joint Base Lewis-McChord property in Thurston County Monday night.

The "aviation mishap" involved a U.S. Army AH-64E Apache helicopter assigned to 4-6 ACS, 16th Combat Aviation Brigade during a routine training exercise, JBLM told The News Tribune on Tuesday.

Southeast Thurston Fire Chief Mark King described the terrain as marshy, heavy with brush and difficult to access.

The two pilots survived the crash, he said. One was taken by ground and one was transported by air to Madigan Army Medical Center at JBLM, King said.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

The two pilots remained hospitalized in stable condition as of 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. The Army was deploying a team from the Combat Readiness Center at Fort Novosel, Alabama, to investigate the incident, a JBLM spokesman said.

I can't find/haven't seen where he departed from, and I don't understand how he came to be in a position where he could make a swing that would make contact with the bridge.

197 "It’s my intention that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge," he said, "and I expect to — the Congress to support my effort." It seems a bit premature to be talking about rebuilding the bridge and discussing how it will be paid for while people are still missing, but that's Joe Biden for you.
++++
Actually, I disagree. It's a vital transport link and a key piece of infrastructure. Its destruction is a regional problem. Discussion about reconstruction cannot be too early. Yes, there is still an active search and rescue operation and that should not be distracted from, but there should also *already* be teams of engineers assessing the parts of the bridge that are still standing and figuring out the best way to get it reconstructed.

I have a much bigger problem with the "let's draft a blank check against our empty Treasury, because we never let a crisis go to waste when it can be converted into a huge opportunity for corruption and theft."

203 The loss of the bridge probably added 2 to 3 hours of extra time to a Hazmat shipment. I'd like to see the actual traffic numbers on the bridge and alternative routes. Should be easy because they are all monitored.

They need to get the harbor channel cleared and this shouldn't take more than a couple months. Just drag the steel out of the channel with cables. There are a lot of divers that work the infrastructure in the Bay. And those tugs could pull anything out of the channel.

If Joe wants to speed things up, let's see how quick things get back to a new routine.

Clearing the ship channel is more important then rebuilding the bridge. There are alternative ways to get around Baltimore by land.

212 Steve Bannon noted Tuesday that the official explanation of what happened “doesn’t make sense.” He asked “how the ship turned directly into that [pylon] and the pilot didn’t drop the anchor? Dropping the anchor might’ve ripped the front of the ship apart, but it wouldn’t have taken out the bridge.”
++++
Or they *did* drop anchor, and the power problems on the ship caused only one anchor to drop (or the other one failed to gain purchase) and it created a pivot point that spun the ship right into the pillar.

I don't know, and neither does Bannon. This would be a long-odds gamble for terrorism - there are a *ton* of variables that have to be precisely correct to pull it off - and so I am much less inclined in that direction versus "catastrophic industrial mishap thanks to bad luck or poor maintenance and crew quality" or other more mundane answer.

Time may tell - nobody can be trusted, which is a difficulty - but immediately leaping to "it was obviously terrorism" isn't reasonable.

My bet is that this bridge is replaced within 18 months, and the cost will be at least $50 billion.

255 Oh another part in all this is most Americans don't understand the profit motive or the way competition lowers costs.

So normally in a true capitalist economy with a housing shortage there would be a construction boom. Why? Well as the price of housing goes up this incentivizes developers to build more and people will extra space/units to rent more.

But in our mixed economic system where the government and/or squatters can just seize your property, and where the government restricts access to construction there is much less of an incentive to increase available housing.

Oh...and that housing boom would then in turn lower costs...

262 Just a thought. If this was terrorism, it appears to be "kindler, gentler" terrorism. Why do this in the middle of the night instead of during rush hour? Trying to minimize loss of life?

That is the MO for domestic terrorism orchestrated by the occupying power. Their mission is to take down Western Civilization, but they want to sleep guilt-free at night with low body counts.

Planes are maneuverable.

But all that is beside the point. Right now, I don't buy terrorism. It seems unlikely. This would have been a very difficult scheme with lots of variables, it happened in the middle of the night instead of at rush hour, nobody took credit for it, the ship called in the trouble in advance of the incident, the ship was clearly undergoing problems, etc. Plans that involve signs for free birdseed rarely work out, and if this was a plan, it was that level of complicated.

We may find out over time, but right now my bet is on "poor maintenance," "inexperienced crew" or some combination of the two.

My point isn't that we should be building housing for the invaders, but merely that in not building that housing we've guaranteed a dramatic increase in price.

Restrict supply and increase demand and you get price increases.

The only thing that makes sense to me, as a long time boater is that the right side anchor was deployed, caught the bottom, and steered the ship to the right - right into the support.

It isn't as simple as bulldozing down a 100x100 patch and dropping a mobile home on the spot.

People eat, crap and sleep. This requires water, electric and sewage. It also requires greater capacity for supplying food, electric and water. That requires CapEx at high interest rates that someone needs to cover (surely not the invader). All of that takes time to forecast, analyze, acquire property rights, right-of-way, secure financing, permits, materials, skilled labor and at a time of year when the WX complies. Insurance, inspections, down-stream utilities at all levels (larger and more water pumps, tanks, filter, sources; electric grid components and everything upstream from that...

And this is real hard to do when adding the average state's total population to the country every few months.

If you think about it, committing this act on purpose would be incredibly difficult. As I said before, you have general control of a ship this size, but you don't have instant control. Hitting that bridge support without power and only dropping anchor would be like hitting an asteroid with a mass as it passed the moon so as to cause it to strike the earth after it had gone around the Sun.

337 A couple maritime shipping wonks have speculated the anchor being dropped on the port (left) side was an effort to slow/stop the ship. Might have something to do with how the ship would twist around the anchor had it actually not been dragged along.

There's no indication the starboard anchor was dropped.

The AIS track shows a normal departure up until the ship was very near the bridge and lost power. I would imagine there's data that recorded the position of the rudder, the speed, etc. like an aircraft "black box."

But the feds almost immediate declaration that it wasn't a terrorist act smells.

Represents the Emperor at least, Mandate of Heaven more debatably. It was at times used symbolically to indicate a transfer of power.

Theoretically the Seal is the same as seeing the Emperor. Documents marked with the Seal were like hearing the Emperor.

Treating an object(such as a seal or token) as the office wasn't unusual for the Chinese, it applied to other lower ranking roles as well.

True. But given eight minutes they would have slowed it down a whole lot. In my memory ships of that size use a giant fluke anchor. But you have to let out a lot of line - or chain.

405 Bannon needs to shut up on this one.

One does not 'drop an anchor' on a ship that size. One *sets* an anchor, and that's a process that probably takes over an hour for a vessel that size to do properly. Merely dropping an anchor(s) while the ship is in motion would most likely result in the anchor doing nothing but skimming along the bottom and never properly catching. And if it did catch, the most likely outcome of the anchor dug in at one end and 150,000 tons of moving steel on the other end is that the anchor rode (chain) will simply part. The front of the ship definitely isn't getting ripped off.

But assuming it just drags, then yeah: think of it as activating the e-brake on a couple wheels of a semi tractor/trailer rig- good for keeping it stationary, but if it's already rolling downhill... good luck.

One final thought: while it's unclear if one or both anchors were deployed, only deploying one might have been a good idea- if the ship was headed straight in, dropping both wouldn't stop it. But only dropping one might pivot the bow away from the pylon.

In a fluke type anchor I believe there is the possibility of it flipping upside down and doing nothing. While if both are deployed and the one on the right/starboard side *is* digging, not stopping, but putting an incessant drag on that side of the ship while it attempts to dig itself in while the one on the left is doing nothing... well it's the only thing which explains the movement in the final minute toward the bridge support. To me.

407 Good morning, all, and thank you, J.J.

Last night, searched for explanations regarding the terrible accident, especially as two pilots, at least one of them experienced in the movement of vessels in the harbor and straight, were onboard when the ship lost power, not once but twice. An almost 7 minute long video entitled, "Ship Lost Power Before Hitting Key Bridge in Baltimore," by What is Going on With Shipping? did cover the Dali losing power outbound. And, of course, now there are other on topic videos available.

Some things do stick in my craw but, first and most importantly, sincere condolences to the families of those who've died as a result of the mishap. Some may not even know their loved ones were involved, in the case of workers who were up on the bridge deck & vehicles traveling over at the time of occurrence. Prayers for the workers who've survived the collapse & were pulled from the river & also their families. Prayers for a guiding hand to help 1st responders, medical teams, and other specialists who are, or shall be, involved.

Another thing I thought about rather quickly was the controversy surrounding the US National Anthem which I

And then only hours after the mishap, so many articles appeared about Key and his famous poem, and comments a new bridge built would be renamed, it was distracting and, once again, barbaric imo. People are hurt, dead, missing, in shock from the mishap. Give them their due.

Coincidentally, more transportation signaling issues not far away: PHILADELPHIA (CBS), 03/26/24 - In part, "Signal issues that caused major delays on SEPTA's Regional Rail lines Monday night have since been resolved, the transportation authority said. Regional Rail trains were back on a normal schedule Tuesday morning." ... "After the signal issues started, SEPTA got crews in place to manually control the switches so trains could move. Due to them manually controlling switches, trains moved slower than normal." Transportation communications, signaling issues, caused by old infrastructure, prior heavy rains, or...?

415 I hate seeing all the conspiracy stuff come out so quickly. I’ve been a merchant seaman for 35 years and a Master for 14, nothing the vessel did from undocking to blackout was abnormal. The ship veering to starboard after regaining power is indicative of a vessel backing hard ( this is called torquing and is common for ships with a right hand turning prop), and follows with letting go th port anchor and the heavy black smoke coming out of the stack at the same time suggesting a hard astern bell once power was restored. Even if the astern bell was not applied the smoke would suggest attempts to restart the main engine.

Top Story


Tech News

  • The Lenovo Legion Tab is officially coming to Europe and Asia. (Lenovo)

    This month. Better get a move on, because there's not much of this month left.

    Downside is that at 599 Euros the price is not much cheaper than importing the Japanese version.

    On paper though it's a great device, with a 2560x1600 8.8" screen, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. CPU is a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which has a Cortex X2 as its main core, so it's both recent and fast.

    It includes a microSD slot and two USB-C ports. Either one can be used for charging, so you can charge while it is connected to a monitor or a headphone adapter (no separate headphone port).

    I'll buy one since there is no real competition. Not two though, not at that price.


  • I did buy the Asus M1505, the cheaper of the two Asus models I've highlighted recently.

    Ryzen 7730U CPU (8 Zen 3 CPU cores and 8 Vega graphics cores), 16GB of RAM which I'm upgrading to 40GB, 512GB of SSD which I'm upgrading to 2TB, the Four Essential Keys in the form of a three-column numeric keypad - not ideal but better than not having them, and the standout feature, a 15.6" 2880x1620 120Hz OLED display.

    Roughly $1000 as configured.


  • If you have Mac Studio envy the FN60G sold by Topton is basically a shrunk-in-the-wash version. (Liliputing)

    It's bigger than a regular NUC but still very small; it uses an Intel desktop CPU and a laptop graphics module. No expansion slots apart from memory and storage, so what you buy it with is all you get.

    Apart from those two memory slots and two M.2 slots, it has two HDMI ports, two DisplayPort ports, one USB-C port which can also drive a display for up to five monitors in total; two 2.5Gbit network ports, and four USB-A ports on the back. On the front, another two USB-A ports, one USB-C, headphone jack, and a full-size SD card slot. Which is a pretty good complement of ports for a small system.

    Prices fully configured start around $1000 and go up to $2000, which is not terrible but you can certainly build a regular PC for the same price.

It has 8GB of RAM soldered in place and one DIMM slot which comes populated with 8GB. So swap that with a 32GB module and you get 40GB.

I'd prefer two DIMM slots but it's still an improvement over 16GB soldered in place which is what I currently have.

I used an HP Stream 14 forever. A friend gave it to me--it was unusable with Windows 10 as it has only 32GB internal storage, and Windows was continually updating beyond 32GB. He gives to me so I linuxed it. I can't tell you how great it is for travel. It's super light weight and the battery life is great. If I open it, use it for what I need and close it, it will hold on for 24 hours. I sure as hell can't get a cell phone to do that.

The right side of the ship is torn up and I can't see the anchor. With the number of foreign nationals on board did an American guiding the ship out of the harbor call for the port anchor to be deployed and someone instead deployed the anchor on the starboard (right) side of the ship?

That would definitely explain the ship slowing then turning to the right.

Even if both were deployed it would be a crap shoot as to which one would could grab onto anything.

An old cartoon movie I like is Titan AE: they put the whole "planet" on a single ship. If their is a benevolent God, then one day there will be PIGS IN SPAAAAACE. Or at least bacon in space.

Their definition of the "environment" is the view from their beach house. YOU are the pollution--the clutter obscuring the view--the debris in the road causing traffic. They think to replace you with robots.

46 The reason for lower numbers pre say 1900, is not for lack of food. The greatest reason, imo, for the explosion of the population in the 20th was the revolution in childhood mortality due to medical care and antibiotics. It is one of the greatest triumphs in human history.

These retards have a vision of a 10%, but they also envision it exactly like things are now- just with fewer people and everyone agreeing with them socially and politically. It's not just breathtakingly evil, but also stupid.

Something I think about from time to time was an analysis I saw about population growth in modern societies. Usually, when there is some tragic event, it is followed by a baby boom/population explosion. However, due to abortion and political ideology, modern societies actually see a reproduction decrease.

Talk about a poor way to start your day: My microwave has died. I started it up to heat a breakfast burrito, and I thought the motor sounded a little loud for half of the 1:20 the item requires. I opened it up, and the bowl was still cold and the burrito still frozen. Two more tries produced nothing, as did unplugging the unit to "reboot" it.

There's a year's warranty and a service number to call, but I don't have a record of when I bought it. Probably more than that.

This is my first MW, and without realizing it, I've come to rely on the darn thing to cook food and reheat my coffee. I guess I'll be shopping for a new one this weekend.

Not to mention a more subtle tranny push that was labelled "feminism."

The folks in charge have turned the majority of women of the last generation or two into men. Not their sexual bits, but via GRRLLL POWWRRRR. They're convinced that they're men and can do men stuff like have a demanding, lonely, stress-driven corporate job and that families and babies are bad and "tools of the patriarchy" or whatever.

I'm going to get a bunch of masculine tattoos and be mean to everyone because that's how I think men act and it's my version of male blackface. I'll just put this whole biological clock thing off until I'm an established drone in the workplace hitting 50-55 hours a week. Uh oh. The dating pool has shrunk.

Stop with this fascistic nannying of everybody else to get in line and live the way you would have them live. Have fifteen kids if you want. Have zero if you want. Adopt a kid or two.

No, it's a very feminine trait and part of the trannyism that feminism pushed. Men don't care, women care a lot. It's how we're wired. There might be one or two out of every thousand (ten thousand?) men that is interested, but it's unavoidably true.

If you as a man were in the market and a 7-10 on your beauty scale showed genuine interest in you, would one of your first inclinations be to wonder how much she earned or to look and see what kind of car she drove and what lifestyle she could offer you? Would it influence whether you wanted to remain in pursuit of the relationship after you saw that she was a cashier at the Dollar Tree?

Of course not. Because that's not how men work.

79 Once in the museum, they were accosted several times and told they would be forced to leave unless they removed their pro-life hats. The group all wore the same blue hat that simply said, “Rosary PRO-LIFE.” Other individuals in the museum were wearing hats of all kinds without issue.

The museum staff mocked the students, called them expletives, and made comments that the museum was a “neutral zone” where they could not express such statements. The employee who ultimately forced the students to leave the museum was rubbing his hands together in glee as they exited the building.

According to the settlement deal [pdf]:

…the Smithsonian has agreed to settle with our clients, providing a monetary amount of $50,000, a private tour to be given by the director of the National Air and Space Museum, personal apologies, and the public dissemination of an “after action” report that was conducted by the Smithsonian following the incident that occurred.

151 We have a stretch of I49, about four miles long here. This was built with some Obamabucks, with the signs proclaiming how great it was. Maybe in a century it will connect with the system after a river crossing and tearing up a number of towns. Anyway, one of the eclipse sites says this area, specifying the highway, will be prime viewing. The on/off ramps at each end weren't thought out very well and there should be a couple disasters there if things get heavy.

A person familiar with the discussions said Xi spoke with the US CEOs for over an hour and a half. The business leaders asked Xi a number of questions, which the Chinese president answered. Bloomberg's source quoted Xi as saying there is no need for a 'decoupling' between Beijing and Washington.

165 157 Yep.There's even question who has jurisdiction. It ends in our little burg but they put up the Interstate signs, so our cops have to hand things off to the staties. On the other end it ends in County jurisdiction, and the Sheriff has other things to do. I'm betting on a lot of people parked on it. About those ramps I mentioned. You know where you hit one and the speed limit is 35 and 40-45 is no problem? You hit these, speed limit 25, and 15 might be wise.
