The Quotes of The Day

Quote I
‘It really is appalling behaviour. I am at a loss. Both of you talk about it as if it was a beloved family pet. What an example you are showing to your children about what love is.’ ~~Judge Roy Bean~~ Judge Christine Laing KC

Quote II
“That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia — an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews,” Mike Rowe

On the bright side The Fabulous married me to shorten her surname.

A while ago, following this display of progressive parenting, I wrote,
And yes, the family does live in Brooklyn. And no, they don’t share a surname. And yes, the adults have availed themselves of professional counselling services.
A quip that resulted in some rumblings on the topic of marriage and shared surnames, or the lack thereof. In the comments, Steve E noted,
[Not sharing a surname] creates complications for the most mundane of things, too. Pick up a pizza, whose name is it in? Loyalty account at retail store, whose name is it in? My wife kept her own surname because – feminism, the patriarchy, etc. – she now says if she’d known what a pain-in-the-ass it would be, she wouldn’t have done it. When she signs up for things now, she gives my surname.
And Ray added,
If father tries to board an airplane with a nine-year-old girl who doesn’t share his surname, the airline will hit the big red panic button.
As I said at the time, I don’t have strong feelings on the subject, but it occurs to me that not taking your husband’s surname, ostensibly as some Assertion Of Progress And Enlightenment – while retaining what is presumably your father’s surname – does create complications.
For instance, having different surnames can confuse people as to whether you’re married or not, and if so, to whom. And any children with hyphenated surnames – a fashionable statement of the aforementioned Progress And Enlightenment – will then face the issue of what to do when they get married, especially if it’s to someone whose own name is also modishly hyphenated. Do they ditch some of the accumulated names – and if so, which ones? Or do they go for multiply hyphenated surnames, which would very quickly become a bit much?
Say, if Derek Williams and Sarah Anderson get married but retain their own surnames, and their children’s surnames are hyphenated as Anderson-Williams, they may enjoy a sheen of modernity, and perhaps connotations of aristocracy and status. But what happens when little Annie Anderson-Williams grows up and wants to marry James Houghton-Clompington? Do we get a brood of Anderson-Williams-Houghton-Clompingtons?
I’m exaggerating for comic effect, of course. But only slightly.
As a new, supposedly more equitable tradition – at least outside of the Spanish-speaking world – it seems scarcely less prone to complication and trade-offs. When hyphenated offspring come to name their own children – and if they follow the same rules as their hyphenated parents – the whole thing rapidly becomes unworkable, and, at risk of causing offence, names will have to be cut. Lest each child sound like a law firm.
Though I suppose one could take it as a kind of unintended symbolism, a measure of modern progressivism. In that, the problem it allegedly addresses doesn’t seem to be much of a problem for most of those it supposedly oppresses, and the solution offered is somewhat short-sighted and soon results in something close to absurdity.
In the original thread, pst314 added,
I have heard of some writers, and others in careers where name recognition matters, keeping their names when they marry. But that’s a special case.
Also, among gay couples. Though gay couples tend not to result in children, thereby sidestepping the issue of escalating hyphenation and a society-wide overhaul of stationery, due to the need to enlarge the ‘print name’ and ‘signature’ boxes on every official form.

Somethings are just too perverted to become a Genius Award Winner. Man performed sex act on a corpse after breaking into hospital mortuary

*****

I know for a fact that Buck Throckmorton is not our Genius Award Winner

A battery someone tossed in the trash caused an emergency in an Olathe neighborhood last week.
City leaders said someone tossed a lithium battery into the trash. A trash truck unknowingly started hauling it to the landfill. On the way the lithium battery caught fire and started burning the rest of the trash in the truck.
The driver quickly stopped the truck and dumped the burning load on the pavement to prevent extensive damage to the equipment according to the city. Firefighters then extinguished the fire.

17 Those of you who understand plumbing- I think I may be on the verge on being murdered, and rightly so. I normally take my rings off to was my face, but tonight, I didn’t and don’t even know why. My ring fell off my finger and went down the drain. I turned the water off immediately. I will get a plumber out tomorrow and rip the entire sink and wall apart if I need, is there any chance my ring will still be there? This is a 1c fancy light blue diamond. I can’t just go get another one…I am sobbing right now.

31 Dad managed to arrange for getting drinks in the nursing home. He had me buy the cheap liqueurs and he would get the one shot he was allowed.
During covid I had to wear a mask at the liquor store so I bought a mixed case of the 8-12 dollar bottles. I have half of it left and I don't drink myself.
He liked to drink, and explained to me that you could drink for the experience, for the adventure or to get drunk. He mostly wanted to take the edge off I think. He used to drink scotch, and he told me when he was a young man the favored liquor was the one with "finger grooves in the side so you could keep hold of it as you slid off the barstool to the floor." He wound up drinking stuff like well-quality amaretto and midori in the home.
He warned me my whole life drinking was a problem for the family and he hoped I didn't have that issue.

I only read the quoted portion but I suppose if we're going to get retarded about the subject we can always adopt the Mexican way. So a woman gets married her married name can be, say, Jones de Smith. And if they had a daughter it would be Smith Jones, at least until *she* got married in which case it would be Smith de *inserthusbandosnamehere*.

Cuz it's always made more sense to trace your lineage patrilinealy.

90 Those of you who understand plumbing- I think I may be on the verge on being murdered, and rightly so. I normally take my rings off to was my face, but tonight, I didn’t and don’t even know why. My ring fell off my finger and went down the drain. I turned the water off immediately. I will get a plumber out tomorrow and rip the entire sink and wall apart if I need, is there any chance my ring will still be there? This is a 1c fancy light blue diamond. I can’t just go get another one…I am sobbing right now.
Posted by: Piper at April 24, 2024 09:59 PM (ZdaMQ)

Hie yourself to Amazon and buy a pickup claw tool. They are cheap, and should fit down any opening large enough to pass a finger ring. Odds are good it is in the P-trap. In fact, many sink and basin P-traps are retained by hand-tightened locking rings, and can be removed without resorting to tools. Try that first, and get the claw if you cannot open the P-trap.

The English would refer to his girlfriend as a "bird". A gentleman would ask the boyfriend a question "May I have a word with your bird?"
So, if your "bird" is a swan, who loves to show off, hence, swanning.

113 The way they do names in Spain seemed difficult enough that if wives took their husband's surname they'd have a whole long sentence going. Everyone gets some combination of both parent's surname. I can't explain the details but at least they understand it.
Posted by: banana Dream at April 24, 2024 10:08 PM (Y6IkP)

In Spanish the usual way is the father's name first, then the mothers. This gets messy if the fathers surname is multijointed (Jesus Huerta de Soto Ballester for example) but it is one of those things that is understood through convention. The posers that insist on multiple names beyond that are understood to be posers. The added benefit is that Spanish naming conventions usually mean there is no middle name because it is unneeded, unless of course one's family is in the peerage or nobility, and is required to show off one's august family history, or of course one is aping the nobility.

In Germany multiple middle names are common, and each additional name beyond (I think) two are charged extra on governmental forms.

That album has one of those fun covers. The album cover has a window which shows the album sleeve, a picture of a, I guess, hacienda with Jackson Browne in a chair. When you pull the sleeve with the record out, the same picture is underneath the sleeve and visible through the window. The only difference is there is no Jackson Browne in the picture under the sleeve because . . . you're holding Jackson Browne (the album) in your hands.

156 I was never enough of a feminist to question if I was going to take Pooky's surname when I married him. It is a very unique last name, to the point that everyone with it in the US is his second cousin or closer. We laugh because this town probably has the highest concentration of his last name in the US. Ironically, when Pooky was enlisted in the Air Force, he'd sometimes get the emails meant for his dad's officer cousin (people emailing out OPRs are lazy I guess), but not his enlisted cousin, who was also in the AF.

187 Quote II

“That’s what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia — an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews,” Mike Rowe
---------

The Columbia President and almost all other college presidents, along with professors and staff, are terrified of angering their woke student bodies and wealthy Woke alumni. They know angering those groups and/or the Woke Faculty Senate will get them run out of campus on a rail faster than you can say 'Joe is a liar'. If fired by the Woke they also know their future job opportunities at the same levels will be few if any. Better to side with the evil ones if they value their jobs. And they desperately value their top-of-the-hill jobs in the academic world.

240 In re surnames - on both mom and dad's side of the family, when the families got here close to three hundred years ago, they only spoke German and hence when official records had to be filled out, the clerks anglicized their last name. Said clerks elected to spell the names the way they heard them.

With dad's family, that actually worked - ended up with an English-sounding name that's easy to pronounce (although people still will look at the name, and give it odd pronunciations that are puzzling). With mom's family, not so lucky - the best that could be done is, well, bizarre. (In fact, the family doesn't even agree on how to spell it.)

When my wife-to-be and I went to fill out the forms for our marriage license, the clerk took a look at my entry under "Mother's Maiden Name," got really wide eyes, and said with deep seriousness, "Whatever you do, don't name any of your children after your Mama."

Yeah, it's that bad. (And it would not be an improvement to have stuck with the Swabian-Deutsch original, either.) And no, none of our kids got saddled with that moniker.

248 Speaking of home repairs - Does every home have at least two electrical switches that one can't determine what they control?

I have a couple that are real head-scratchers. One item discovered while looking for other things though is there is a unused 20A line running from the breaker box to my crawlspace.

The end within the breaker box is labeled 'Spare/crawlspace' and not connected to a breaker. In the crawl space, there is about 50 ft of coiled conductor, not terminated to a device with a paper tag that says 'Spare/crawlspace'.

Posted by: nurse ratched

She came home tonight. In quite a bit of pain. The hard part is the next 7 to 10 days. She's supposed to stay in bed with as little activity as possible. When the pain subsides I'm not sure how well that will work. I've got a feeling she may get more nurse than mom from my daughter. She was really thrilled and glad about all the people praying for her.

Next summer I'm up for more hay, Pop dangles this watch and
asks if I know about it. It's my Seiko.

During the winter one of hayman's clients, a farmer, cracks open a bale and finds this watch which he took back to hayman who asked around.

That watch laid out in the field all summer, tractors, planting, shredding, people loading, other cuttings, rain, heat and there it was, running, ticking, on time. Still have it in a box.

a night on the town in heels can come with exercise included...his not only includes your calf muscles, but your hamstrings and glutes might also work harder when you slip on heeled shoes.

This may include shorter stride lengths and increased cadence, which could potentially result in reduced energy expenditure during walking.

So which is it? Is it more efficient or better exercise? I don't see this as an AND proposition...

328 About the names? Just do the Mexican thing. They all have two surnames, the father's first (comes first) and the mother's first (comes second) for the kids.

So you have
José Jesús González Velázquez (Father's first surname González and mother's first surname Velázquez) marry
María Josefa Martínez López ((Father's first surname Martínez and mother's first surname López):

Their first kid could be Rafaela González Martínez, or with her middle name, Rafaela María de Jesús González Martínez.

UK approves law to deport illegal migrants to Rwanda

After weeks of debate, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has pushed through Parliament a law to deport migrants to Rwanda. The implication is that asylum seekers who enter the UK illegally will be automatically - regardless of their origin - deported to the East African country.

At the same time, the British government also expects to ban the ability to challenge a deportation decision in the courts. The bill, which was approved by the upper house of the British Parliament, officially recognizes Rwanda as a safe country.

Now migrants who have entered the UK illegally will be deported to Rwanda and seek asylum there.

Then got word that a co-worker's wife died in a head on collision on her way to work. Wrong way driver on the freeway.
Then found out she was the sister of 2 other employees.
Then a co-worker comes to me with pictures of his kids leg cast removal (18 month old, trampoline, need I say more?). The stupid bitch, I mean Doctor burned his legs up the entire cut on both sides with the saw getting hot. I almost puked.

I told him to get a lawyer before he ever talks to anyone or signs anything. He said the hospital wanted to talk to him after work. I said call them and reschedule for when you get a lawyer.

Long term capital gains encompasses selling your house after you retire and you want to move to Florida. A 44% tax on that is gonna destroy the housing market.

Granted right now you don't pay capital gains on the first $250,000/$500,000 when you sell your primary residence but I am fairly certain that exemption will disappear when this new tax law comes into effect.

267 Someone needs to tell the Leafs that it's difficult to score when you don't shoot the puck at the net.
-----------
They've been like that for decades even with coaching changes. They go for the perfect single shot instead of shooting as often as possible aiming for deflections, lucky shot, or rebounds setting up a better shot. It's one of the reasons I abandoned them back in 2013 or whenever they first blew a multigoal lead in Game 7 to the Bruins.

Quick Hits

The Bee:

Steven Kruiser writes that it's the "adults" at the Failure Factories formerly known as elite colleges who are to blame for their students' sick worldview.

As evidence, he cites this from Rick Moran:

The most serious confrontations between police and protesters did not feature idealistic, earnest 19- and 20-year-olds, but rather 40- and 50-something faculty members who acted like a bunch of spoiled brats.
"The faculty were -- from what I personally observed, and spoke to lieutenants and captains out there -- the most aggressive towards the police," NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry told Fox 5. "They would not move, they would not let go."
Reliving the glories of their youth, no doubt. That and showing off for the kids, trying to be role models, and setting an example of lawbreaking.
"I think parents have an expectation that when they send their kids to college the faculty and their professors will be teaching and not protesting," said Tarik Sheppard, NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information. "It was shocking to see the faculty out there."

And this from Robert Spencer:

The New York Post on Thursday published video of a man wearing a kippah and with an Israeli flag draped over his shoulders passing by a crowd of protesters at Columbia. One young man shouted at him, "Keep it moving, you Zionist pig!" A few moments later, the man with the Israeli flag, responding to something that was said to him, asks, "Hamas is okay?" To that, a woman with a keffiyeh over her head and covering her mouth bangs on a metal crowd-control barrier and shouts furiously, "We are Hamas!"
Another supporter of Israel asks her, "You're what? You're Hamas?" as she keeps banging on the barrier. She responds while continuing to bang on the barrier, "Yes, we're all Hamas, pig!" Another protester adds, "Long live Hamas!"

Shocking video captures moment protester near Columbia University yells, �We�re all Hamas,� �Long live Hamas� https://t.co/hWlgY9GnZN pic.twitter.com/FVoTH9KY78

It's time to start cultivating some healthy intolerance.

David Strom remembers that Democrats all supported "protests" outside of Supreme Court Justices' homes, even after a transgender attempted to murder Bret Kavanaugh.

But if you protest outside Chuck Schumer's house, the cops swoop in to make sure the Conscience of the Senate is undisturbed.

Democrats love equity, because it means choosing which rules apply to which people.
For years, the Democrats have celebrated protesters harassing conservatives, using bullhorns outside conservative homes at all hours of the night. They encourage people to drive Republicans out of the public square. They piously proclaim that free speech means you can harass any Republican in any manner you like. Remember those protesters outside Amy Comey Barrett's and Brett Kavanaugh's houses?
No biggie.
But do the same to Chuck Schumer? You get arrested. He is the good guy, and he deserves peace and quiet.

You can protest at @tedcruz�s house, no problem.

But try that at Chuck Schumer�s house, and you�ll be arrested. pic.twitter.com/rRghPYPRXZ

— Ian Miller (@ianmSC) April 24, 2024

Meanwhile, a Democrat is proposing to strip Trump of Secret Service protection if Biden's Stasi jails him -- you know, so that he can be murdered in prison.

Remember -- they're Saving Democracy.

Enter a key player in the House January 6 investigation. That's the committee put together by then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi that consisted of only Democrats and their fellow travelers, Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger. Cheney was a co-chair with Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) and the two of them were thick as thieves. They both took the mission of "get Trump" very seriously. Cheney thought she might parlay the exercise into a presidential run. Dream on, Liz.
New legislation was put forward on Friday by Thompson. He claims he wants to make sure that Trump doesn't get special treatment if he is convicted and sentenced. He wants to address the question of Secret Service protection ahead of time so a procedure will be in place. Thompson is the ranking Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee.

"It is regrettable that it has come to this, but this previously unthought-of scenario could become our reality," the Mississippi lawmaker said. "Therefore, it is necessary for us to be prepared and update the law so the American people can be assured that protective status does not translate into special treatment -- and that those who are sentenced to prison will indeed serve the time required of them."
Thompson wants to be able to send a message that Trump is on his own. Look at the name of the bill - Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act -- or the DISGRACED Former Protectees Act. DISGRACED. Unbelievable.

Meanwhile, Trump announced he supports Mike Johnson.

From Newsmax:

Speaking with radio host John Fredericks on Monday, after spending the day in a Manhattan courtroom, Trump said "I stand with the speaker." ...
"Well, look, we have a majority of one, OK?" Trump told Fredericks, referring to the GOP majority in the House.
Advertisement
"It's not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do. I think he's a very good person. You know, he stood very strongly with me on NATO when I said NATO has to pay up ... I think he's trying very hard."

Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell argues that $61 billion for Ukraine isn't really a lot of money.

"So put in that context, it's not a whole lot of money for us, but it's a very significant step for them because it gives them the more sophisticated weapons they need to hold the Russians at bay," McConnell said on Fox News's America's Newsroom.
McConnell added in the Wednesday interview that by providing this financial aid, the U.S. is helping Ukraine without putting any of its personnel at risk. He also said the aid would degrade the military of Russia, which he called one of the U.S.'s biggest opponents.

The FBI has finally gotten around to serving subpoenas on the corrupt gangster hoe "super mayor" of Dolton, Illinois.

The FBI on Friday served subpoenas in the Chicago suburb where controversial Mayor Tiffany Henyard has faced accusations of corruption, Fox 32 Chicago reports.
Henyard, the self-described "supermayor" of Dolton, and Thornton Township Supervisor, has recently been dubbed the "worst mayor in America" by critics after being accused of misdeeds ranging from weaponizing police raids to spending taxpayer money on luxuries in Las Vegas. Most recently, the scandal-ridden mayor has also come under fire for an alleged sexual assault by one of her allies during the Vegas trip, where the alleged victim claims to have been fired after speaking out.
On Friday, four agents from the FBI paid a visit to Dolton Village Hall at around 2:30 p.m. where they served two federal subpoenas, according to Fox 32.

The FBI is reportedly probing misconduct allegations regarding Dolton, Illinois Mayor Tiffany Henyard after a local business owner claimed his business was punished for refusing to donate to her event.
The first one was for employment records, personnel files, and disciplinary reports for 25 Dolton employees, including three police officers and Keith Freeman, who is the village administrator and Henyard's top aide. Freeman was charged with bankruptcy fraud on Monday.
The second subpoena was served specifically for Freeman, asking for records of all companies associated with him and possible ties to the village.
"The House of Cards are collapsing," Burt Odelson, who serves as the Legislative Counsel for the Village of Dolton Board of Trustees., tells Fox 32. "I think the government is taking action."
The FBI did not provide any more information pertaining to the subpoenas and Henyard herself was not served.
In February, it was reported that the FBI was investigating the mayor, as six individuals had reportedly spoken to the agency about her alleged misconduct, including "business owners, a former village employee and one or more public officials."

Sydney Sweeney is feeling her oats.

Sweeney posted a carousel of images to Instagram showcasing her trip to Mexico, and she sent a clear message to her haters in one of them. The star was featured wearing a sweatshirt that read, "Sorry I have great tits," in a very 'sorry, not sorry' moment. The shirt's unique message can directly or indirectly be seen as a clap-back at Hollywood producer Carol Baum, who slammed Sweeney days prior, saying, "she's not pretty. She can't act," according to Daily Mail.

4 A Russian court has ordered the seizure of funds in JPMorgan Chase accounts in Russia, court filings showed on Wednesday, in a lawsuit filed by state-owned bank VTB as it seeks to regain funds blocked abroad. JP Morgan Chase last week sued VTB in New York to halt its efforts to recover $439.5 million from an account that was blocked after Russia despatched its army to Ukraine in 2022 and VTB was hit with sanctions.

The Arbitration Court of St Petersburg and the Leningrad Region’s ruling was dated April 22.

The court said it had ordered the seizure of all funds in JP Morgan bank accounts in Russia, including correspondent accounts and those opened in the name of a subsidiary.

Vox Day: "Neither Russia nor China care in the least what U.S. law prohibits anymore. The international system ended the moment sanctions were applied to Russia after the beginning of the special military operation and nothing is going to bring it back.

"Pax Americana is over. Plan accordingly."

NOT MAKING HEADLINES: Stormy Daniels Owes Trump $300,000 Plus Interest for Making FALSE CLAIMS Against Him

For some reason the lapdog media is not reporting today that Stormy Daniels owes President Trump $300,000 for making false claims against him.

In March 2022, the 9th Circuit Court issued a final ruling in the case brought against Trump by disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti and Stormy.

The court ruled that Stormy Daniels owed President Trump $300,000 in legal fees for filing a frivolous lawsuit against the US President.

The media is ignoring this important development as they continue to lie by omission to the American public.
====
Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson Apr 22
So:
Trump supposedly engaged in a "conspiracy" to win election.

But he's NOT charged for the $130,000 Cohen paid Daniels in 2016.

He's charged for misclassifying the repayments he made to Cohen in 2017 - by which time he'd ALREADY won.

Could this case be a bigger joke?

43 While on a campaign stop, Biden, who is the least popular president in modern history, recalled how he’s constantly being flipped off by children everywhere he goes.

“I’ve never thought I’d see a time when I’m going through a — a neighborhood or a rural town that’s in the west and see big signs that s- — have a Trump sign in the middle that says “F Biden” and having a little kid standing with his middle finger — seven years old, eight years old,” Biden said.

“Well, I promise, it happens all the time. It’s not who we are,” added the man who won the vote of the radical rioters who burned down U.S. cities in 2020.

Give his comments a listen – and try not to laugh:

Hey, Joe, it's not politics. These kids just don't like the way you're leering at their little sisters. Also, the adults are flipping you off, too. But you aren't looking at the adults, so you wouldn't really notice.

BREAKING: Judge in the Arizona rancher case where 75-year-old George Alan Kelly was accused of shooting an illegal on his property, has declared a mistrial.

Kelly was initially charged with second-degree murder.

The announcement from the judge came after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.

Kelly was accused of shooting and killing Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea on his land, who entered into the country illegally multiple times, in January 2023.

“Long story short, this is simply not somebody who's looking for the American dream. There's no evidence that this person is here for those kinds of benign purposes,” Kelly's defense attorney said during closing arguments.

“And we bring that up, not, you know, to be judgmental about Gabriel or to not have compassion for him. But when people are involved in a criminal lifestyle, it's dangerous. It's more inherently dangerous than simply being a migrant who's coming here. So it's relevant for that reason.”

Due to the current climate on many campuses around the world, we are now expanding the opportunity for students to seek the learning environment of our campus by extending the transfer application deadline to May 31.

Students elsewhere should know we welcome all — Jews and students from every background — who seek an excellent undergraduate education and an environment striving to be free of harassment and Jew-hatred to apply."

>>It’s even worse than that because the only way to bring those particular charges was during the commission of another crime which he isn’t being charged with.

Well, Bragg actually named the crime, federal election tampering, which is nonsense.

The other mind bending aspect to the original charge is that the date the entries were made was in 2017, after the election, so it ipso facto, couldn't have been done to hide an underlying crime.

Listen, this is all bullshit, every bit of it, but they're moving full speed ahead, without a care in the world.

True - it no longer even covers our required payments (entitlements + interest). Aka, we could shut down all of fed gov (including defense) and not pay anyone for anything, except monetary transfers and interest...and we couldn't cover our budget.

I've been hearing that $61mm is more than we spend on the Marine Corps. Mitch is pretty free with our money.

And hold up, we're expecting to just hold the Russians at bay? Why not a ceasefire then? That might do the trick plus have the benefit of not costing any more lives (or the need to spend more).

Kelly was initially charged with second-degree murder.

The announcement from the judge came after the jury was unable to reach a verdict.

“Long story short, this is simply not somebody who's looking for the American dream. There's no evidence that this person is here for those kinds of benign purposes,” Kelly's defense attorney said during closing arguments.

“And we bring that up, not, you know, to be judgmental about Gabriel or to not have compassion for him. But when people are involved in a criminal lifestyle, it's dangerous. It's more inherently dangerous than simply being a migrant who's coming here. So it's relevant for that reason.”

The Alec Baldwin Harassment Incident Just Got Weirder

As you know, a very annoying woman harassed Alec Baldwin, demanding that he say "Free Palestine." When he didn't, she started calling him a killer, which is true enough but she's very, very annoying.

He ultimately slapped the phone out of her hand. Actually, it looks like a full assault.

That's not going to help his defense in the negligent homicide trial for killing a woman.

Apparently this woman is a "performance artist and ambush interviewer" who goes to LGBT rallies and Hamas rallies. (Two great tastes that go great together.)

She calls herself Crackhead Barney. I don't get the "Barney" part but the rest of the name checks out.

In the 1920s there was no mass following. Applications for Nazi Party membership were frozen for the first several months after the Coordination because the party chancery was overwhelmed. Party membership had built over the years, of course, but after Hitler became chancellor millions of Germans sought to join up.

I imagine that this is a rhetorical question.

Journ-O-List 2.0: Fake Reporters "Covering" the Trump Trials Get Together on Weekly Zoom Calls to Coordinate Their Biased Stories

Byron York points out that the gavel-to-gavel coverage of the Trump trials, by CNN and MSNBC, are mostly filled with "talk" from commentators, as there's not nearly enough news per hour to fill the time.

Would you be surprised to hear that all of this talk pushes Soros DA's theories of made-up law?

As far as the TV talk is concerned, we might be heading into another "collusion" cycle, referring to the time in 2017-2018 in which some of these same news organizations devoted thousands of hours to discussing allegations that Trump conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election....
If you're following the trial, you might notice that a lot of the commentary sounds alike. Many of the people who talked their way through the collusion cycle have jumped on to the false bookkeeping "election interference" train and tend to say the same things that their colleagues are saying. There's a reason for some of that uniformity.
On Tuesday, Politico published a story revealing the existence of a weekly Zoom call that includes "some of the country's most well-known legal and political commentators." The call is "an exclusive weekly digital salon," Politico's Ankush Khardori wrote, "whose existence has not been previously reported, for prominent legal analysts and progressive and conservative anti-Trump lawyers and pundits. Every Friday, they meet on Zoom to hash out the latest twists and turns in the Trump legal saga -- and intellectually stress-test the arguments facing Trump on his journey through the American legal system."
The key phrase is "anti-Trump." When group members stress-test arguments, they're trying to find the arguments that will be most effective in bringing down Trump. That's what it is about.
The group includes names you will recognize if you watch CNN or MSNBC a lot: Andrew Weissmann, George Conway, Bill Kristol, Norm Eisen, Laurence Tribe, Barbara McQuade, Joyce White Vance, Jennifer Rubin, Mary McCord, Harry Litman, Elliot Williams, Asha Rangappa, Norm Ornstein, Renato Mariotti, Shan Wu, Ryan Goodman, Karen Agnifilo, Jeffrey Toobin, and more.
...

And so on. Khardori, a former federal prosecutor, called the group "the perfect emblem of today's Trump-media-legal-industrial complex." The long effort to topple Trump has become a career for some. "For them, this is a unique opportunity to ... obtain a level of public recognition and stature that few lawyers can ever attain," Khardori wrote. "The people on this call ... are essential cogs in that system, helping to generate and shape content for Trump-hungry consumers."
In other words, the call is a strategic tool that can help participants bring down Trump and get famous, too. Win-win! But it's not something participants want to talk about. Indeed, Khardori said he reached out for comment to everyone whose name was mentioned in the story, and "none spoke on the record." Some apparently talked to Khardori off the record, but they had to remain anonymous because they had promised the group to keep the Zoom sessions a secret.

To be fair, if they don't understand it, then surely the people wouldn't understand it. Best to just not include silly details like "this isn't actually a crime."

"Under a joint fundraising agreement between Biden’s campaign, the DNC and state parties, the president is able to accept money in much bigger chunks than his Republican rivals. The maximum donation to the Biden Victory Fund is $929,600, dwarfing the $3,300 individual contribution limit for single campaigns without a broader agreement with the party."

My wife "dragged" me to a Victoria's Secret back when they sold sexy stuff for sexy women. There was a "lounge" in the store we visited. A large area with private dressing rooms for the women, but a common area for the men to hang out. If the women felt comfortable modeling the clothes, they'd come out and strut about. An associate was always present.

Judge Cannon is on an unsealing binge.

Unsealed records detail allegations that Jay Bratt, Jack Smith's lead prosecutor in classified docs case, threatened Stanley Woodward--atty for Walt Nauta--with sinking a judicial nomination if he didn't get his client to flip on Trump.

This is how DOJ described the August 24, 2022 meeting with Woodward--about 2 weeks after FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago.

Nauta is one of Trump's closest personal aides.

Bratt/Jack Smith referred the matter to DOJ's Office of Professional Responsibility (LOL). I'm sure a diligent investigation is underway 🙄

146 "The call is "an exclusive weekly digital salon," Politico's Ankush Khardori wrote, "whose existence has not been previously reported, for prominent legal analysts and progressive and conservative anti-Trump lawyers and pundits."

Read any of Khardori's stuff that shows his intense dislike of Trump? I just think he's a bit pissed hes not a Zoom call invitee. After all, he was a federal prosecutor in his past, too.

Released Emails Show Biden's White House Conspiring With Bureaucrats to Force the Documents Issue

Manufacturing a fake crime.

Just the News:

Just weeks after learning Joe Biden had improperly retained government documents, his administration began working with federal bureaucrats in spring and fall 2021 to increase pressure on Donald Trump for similar issues and eventually prompt a criminal prosecution of the 45th president, according to government memos newly unsealed by a federal judge.
The correspondence, released this week by U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon in Florida, provide the the most extensive accounting so far of how the Biden White House worked with federal bureaucrats to escalate pressure on Trump to return documents to the National Archives even as it slow-walked similar issues involving its own boss.
One email dated May 5, 2021, shows the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) had already consulted the Biden White House about missing Trump records, more than a year before the public would learn that the former president president had kept some classified memos.
"I have had several conversations with [Person 40] since the end of the Trump Administration about various paper records that he believes were not transferred to us," NARA General Counsel Gary Stern wrote to his colleagues in one May email.
"Person 40" was not identified by name in the document but was listed as working for the Biden White House in the Records Management Office, according to a motion filed by Trump's lawyers in the case, which was previously redacted.

On August 30, 2021, NARA Archivist David Ferriero began to press Trump records representatives more explicitly about the documents, vowing to make referrals to "the Hill, DOJ, and the White House" if the documents had been destroyed or where not turned over soon.
"As you have seen in the press, the House has requested records," Ferriero writes in one email chain. "Our ability to respond requires access to the 24 boxes which have yet to be accounted for. At this point, I am assuming that they have been destroyed. In which case, I am obligated to report it to the Hill, DOJ, and the White House."

By September 2021, Stern had decided to draft a criminal referral against Trump to the Justice Department after documents were still not returned, according to an FBI interview summary with a NARA employee, identified as "Person 53" in the court documents.
"Stern approached [Per. 53] to formally draft a letter to DOJ raising concerns about PRA materials from the TRUMP administration which remained unaccounted for by NARA," the FBI memo stated.
In his interview with the FBI, Person 53 noted in his "years of experience," he "understood NARA never had to make such a referral to DOJ...to accomplish such an ask."
When he circulated the draft letter internally, Stern told colleagues he had been in contact with "DOJ counsel" about the matter and was continuing to communicate with the White House Counsel's Office, showing the Biden administration was in the loop about the efforts to repossess Trump's documents.
"In addition, [White House] Counsel is now also aware of the issue, and has asked that I keep them in the loop to the extent that we make any reference to the White House Office of Records Management," Stern wrote in the email.

While NARA and the White House were engaging DOJ on Trump, Biden aides were trying to figure out what to do with memos Biden kept at his University of Pennsylvania Biden Center office in Washington, some which turned out to be classified.

Hey guys, this all looks shady, but remember, they're Saving Democracy by weaponizing the government's intelligence and "law" enforcement arms against political opponents.

This story has been out there for a while and people as close to it as Kash Patel have been saying yes, this is probably it, and strongly hinting that Trump does have this binder.

The binder is one of those "Trusty Plan" things. If it exists, and Trump has it, why has he not used it? Well, you have to trust the plan.

Though if its a conspiracy theory, that kind of argues for it being true these days....

141 Well, the Founders didn't want it to be that way - but they did warn us that we would have to "work" to keep it a Constitutional Republic.

And they threw out on purpose any reference to "democracy" or "democratic" in our founding documents - they seemed to anticipate the fundamental problems with mob rule and loss of individualism - pretty perceptive.

154 Speaking of bureaucrats, somebody set me some documentts on the new EPA regulations on refrigerants. Pages and pages of rules, regulation and reporting (the new three R's). It is going to turn the HVAC industry upside down in the next year ad add enormous cost to construction projects It will make most AC equipment obsoletes and there is not much to replace it at this point.

But, as the EPA states, the benefit are enormous, mostly because we are not destroying the climate.

Nobody know much about this yet or how to comply but will be finding out. And expect a lot of whining from the snowflakes and AWFL's about how the soaring cost of new homes. This is f***ing inanity. But at least it will be 0.1 F cooler in 100 years, maybe.

He knew. He spent his last few months in office working to get the information released to the public. The intel community fought him and blocked him. So he took them with him after declassifying the documents.

Nobody seriously believes Trump took nuclear secrets or anything that would hurt the country. Unlike the cabal in DC he actually loves the country, the one we used to have.

I think he still has them and now realizes that the thing keeping him from an unfortunate accident is possession of those docs.

One of the junta's industrial partners will be awarded the rights to sell the only legal refrigerant.

There is no reason to replace R410A, and there was no reason to replace R22 (which ushered in R410A). And with forcing out R410A, they will surely not be replacing it with generic, easily produced and easily obtained R32, which is used throughout the world.

No, of course not. It will probably go to R454B, which is moderately environmentally "better" than R32 (lower "Global Warming Potential" score - no joke, that's what it's called), much more expensive, and mildly flammable. And has relatively few manufacturers and is harder to get. But Honeywell will happily sell you some, just like with R410A.

199 Also, consider the reason for the timing of the current trial, the refusals to delay, the refusals to excuse Trump from attending:

Because they are trying to limit who Trump sees and talks to (as they have an unlimited wiretap from their friends in the SDNY) to try and flush out who is in his real campaign.

Cause the current spying is clearly only on his fake campaign, run just for the FBI spies.

Because the intel community believes no one reads history and many of them have been maleducated by our colleges, they are in essence blind.

The radio wireless game between the Brits and the Germans and the primarily British deception operations surrounding the Normandy invasion give clear indications how to conduct oneself under pervasive surveillance. Even ole Osama did the same thing which throughly screwed up the intel community attempts to find him for years. Course it helped that Paki intel was keeping him hidden for their own sakes but notice that his Egyptian lieutenant is still running around somewhere directing what is left of their network.

For sure, and they will have two choices:
1. Force the primary dealers to buy, and have interest rates shoot the moon, wrecking spending capacity
2. Force the Fed to buy, monetize it directly, keep the interest control, wrecking the currency and spending capacity while also simultaneously destroying the petrodollar/eurodolalr and ending what's left of our ability to sequester inflation in foreign trade flows.

Or they could cut spending, but of course we know that they can't and why they can't. I am sure they'd rather go through Door Number Two, but it remains to be seen whether Powell will let them.

262 Not quite. As I said Kash said the binder existed, strongly hinted that Trump had it and that it was the target of the FBI raid (as I recall he did not volunteer this but he was asked and he answered it certainly could be). The IC for its part has not said that it produced a binder of its attack on Trump - not that they would - but neither have they acknowledged that they attacked Trump.

I like Kash Patel, I like what he has to say, but he often seems to promise more than what is actually revealed.

Dancing a line there with the intel community as is Nunes and neither have the legal protections that a former president does on documents and disclosure.

There is also the problem with the reformer mindset. FISA itself needs to be junked as many of the other collection activities of the intel community and law enforcement as they increasingly intertwine with each other.

We would be better off punishing crimes more harshly than doubling down on the information collection. For example, the British security cameras have not lessened crime but given their MI5 and police increased power to surveil the law abiders while doing jack to prevent crimes.

266 For sure, and they will have two choices:
1. Force the primary dealers to buy, and have interest rates shoot the moon, wrecking spending capacity
2. Force the Fed to buy, monetize it directly, keep the interest control, wrecking the currency and spending capacity while also simultaneously destroying the petrodollar/eurodolalr and ending what's left of our ability to sequester inflation in foreign trade flows.

Or they could cut spending, but of course we know that they can't and why they can't. I am sure they'd rather go through Door Number Two, but it remains to be seen whether Powell will let them.

Pretty much. The excess debt regime in the West has lasted longer than I though possible through conventional economic analysis and part of that is due to the difficulty in accounting for international flows and offshore foreign currency reserves being traded about.

The debt crisis in the US fisc though appears to be accelerating and all it would take is cascading repudiation of dollars internationally for settling trade accounts and requiring some other currency to do it.

Hamas Releases Disgusting Propaganda Video of American Hostage Forced to Read Pro-Hamas Statement -- His Arm Missing Due to Hamas' Attacks on Him

Hamas are savages. Their minds cannot even conceive of civilization, or what a civilized man's thoughts might be.

Proof of that is this video -- which Hamas chose to release, thinking that a literal Hostage Video of a man maimed by their terror attacks will sway opinion in their favor.

Can't wait to hear Sandy Cortez explain that this now-maimed man lost his arm due to his own colonizer sins.

Hamas has released a propaganda video featuring one of the American hostages it holds. In it, Hersh Goldberg-Polin is seen reading a pre-prepared script blaming Israel for October 7th and everything that has transpired since.

Golberg-Polin was taken captive at the Nova Music festival that Hamas attacked, slaughtering hundreds of people in the process. He can be seen missing his arm in the video, an injury he sustained that day at the hands of the terrorists after they threw grenades into a shelter he was in.

The Hamas psychopaths have published a new propaganda video of hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin.

The video shows the 23-year-old Israeli-American saying he has been held captive for "nearly 200 days," indicating it was filmed recently.

Hersh is seen in the video missing one of his� pic.twitter.com/hmyRoGuUbp

Bonchie points out the proof that this is a forced confession video, if you needed proof. He notes that this man, held in a cell in a country whose language he does not speak, would have no way of knowing or even guestimating Hamas' casualty counts. Obviously, he's reading these (fake) numbers from Hamas' script.

I've never seen the point in this. I see the point in a "proof of life" production - "the old picture with today's newspaper" or "put him on the phone" or "take a video of him" - because the hostage is part of the negotiation. The captor wants something, the captive wants to get away, the captive's people might negotiate for his release. It's evil, but it's business and so I get it to that degree.

But these forced statements glorifying the captors have never made sense to me. It's obviously a put-on, and always is. So what's the point? All it does is make you look at least as bad as you did yesterday - especially if you've seriously harmed the hostage. Just produce the "proof of life" item and restate the demand.

44 JERUSALEM, April 24 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday "more has to be done" to stop pro-Palestinian protests that have spread across U.S. campuses in recent weeks.
"What's happening in America's college campuses is horrific," he said in a recorded statement, accusing "antisemitic mobs" of taking over leading universities.
"It's unconscionable. It has to be stopped. It has to be condemned and condemned unequivocally," he said. "The response of several university presidents was shameful. Now, fortunately, state, local, federal officials, many of them have responded differently but there has to be more. More has to be done."

To the extent you can reach the masses of the opposition, and to the extent they don't have the stomach for seeing it anymore, it probably has a net advantage.

Some cultures deserve to perish. Aztec society was drowning in a sea of ritual blood-spilling before the first Spaniard ever appeared.

The Palis seem completely unable to assess history objectively, and teach their children to reach for death as the first and best solution to the perceived problems of life.

There's a difference between actually converting and pretending to convert. I don't see how the latter would betray Christianity under the circumstances. "Swear allegiance to the flag. Whatever flag they offer. Never hint at what you really feel."

Besides I'm not a Christian. I'm agnostic. I'm single with no wife or kids. But my mother depends a lot on me. If anything happens to me, she would not survive. She already lost one son. I'm doing whatever I have to do to survive.
Posted by: Elric Blade at April 24, 2024 02:47 PM (iFTx/)
Well, there are three options. Let's take a look at them:
1. Convert to islam
2. Remain whatever 'faith' you claim, don't practice it, become a slave.
3. Death by whatever means islam chooses.
And remember if you choose 1. or 2. you better damn sure not dress nicer than a muslim or ride a taller horse, or you will get option 3.

No, a "pretend" repudiation of Christianity is still a repudiation of Christianity. The early Christian martyrs didn't do that for the Romans, and I sure as f**k wouldn't do it for HamAss.

This is right.

I would probably do whatever I have to survive.
Then do what I can to get my own back -- probably go on a lecture circuit -- universities, congressional hearings -- you know, the usual stuff. Maybe a book or two. I think I could make enough for a good living. Give me the time I need to devote my energies to something I am passionate about, like old movies or jazz.
The best revenge is living well.
Start a foundation, maybe. It could become a voice for the under privileged ... I don't know, maybe gender confused kids, or single moms in the ghetto. Maybe I could turn that into a grift where I get tons of money from the government to import immigrants into the country to help effect change. ...

And per comment above, this is not for the other muzzies in the M. E., this is done to terrorize the West. Look at people thinking about what they would do -- that is the goal, to get us thinking and afraid, because many in power will surrender rather than look into the void.

Last I checked, they have been doing such on the down low at least in the North where they have cleared Ham Ass fighters.

Biden Slurs His Way Through a Shpeech About Funding His Paymaters In Ukraine
Update: At Fundraiser, Biden Accidentally Reads Aloud the Scripted Stage Directions

He immediately signed the bill into law, then let his Ukranian masters know that the Biden Brand is all about prompt service.

Joe Biden delivered remarks on Wednesday on Iran and Israel, and the passage of the bill that gives supplemental aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
Of course, because it's Joe Biden, most of the comments centered around his priority -- Ukraine.
Incredibly, he claims we're "investing in our own industrial base" by giving our stores away to Ukraine because we have to replenish it. We wouldn't have to spend that amount if he didn't give our stores away.
Biden claimed they were trying to surge aid now so as not to drag the U.S. into a war in the future if Putin attacked a NATO country. But we are already involved in this war, with a seemingly endless supply of money/weapons going out to Ukraine, with no goal set that would signify the end of our involvement.
He noted the bill was also sending aid to Israel. Even with the teleprompter, he had difficulty, slurring and dropping words in what he had to say.
He tripped all over himself, trying to talk about the allies who helped against the Iran attack.

He is senile:

Below:

"Four more years. Pause."

What was in the script, I believe, was (four more years pause). In other words, they scripted the crowd to "spontaneously burst into a four more years chant," and wanted Biden to pause for it to let them read their scripted lines.

But he just read it out loud.

Biden routinely reads out his stage directions. I am sure they've tried to deal with this - different colors, different fonts, etc. - and it just doesn't work.

Not really true about Russia anymore. Essentially China (electronics etc.), Iran (drones), and the North Koreans (artillery shells) are propping up the Russian military machine. Russia essentially is trading oil and other goodies for it.

China and to some extent Iran and the Norks actually have their economies able to support their own military actions.

A kindergarten kid would know better.

Plus, I'll guarantee you that the teleprompter guys put all kinds of flags and notices around the stage directions to make it clear that he's not supposed to actually say them out loud -- he's done that so much in the past -- and yet this fartclam jelly-brain still can't figure it out.

I like the alleged Milton Friedman response to the CCP guy when he was touring a Chinese construction site where there were a lot of workers with shovels .

Friedman asked why they wouldn’t just use a couple of backhoes instead. The CCP guy said this way we can employee 100’s instead of just a few.

Friedman replied ‘ why then don’t you just use spoons to dig?’

Last one I saw, it was a giant column hiding a screen the size of an old 1980's "big screen" TV.
Because the teleprompter you know is those little plates of glass to the left and right.
The font size now required is so big, single word per line is all that fits.

This is also why he messes up more and more-- there's even a limit to his setup, so anything longer than one sentence gets botched.

I've gone on about this at length. Nobody is in control.

The Party has absolute control of the government, yes, but nobody has absolute control of the Party right now. It's all factional warfare all the way down. Powerful Politburo members have their own power networks, intelligence sources, areas of influence, etc.

It's one of the reasons our policies are increasingly insane. The US takes action against and for Red China, and does so at the same time. Ditto Israel. Etc. Nobody is in charge. It's rule-by-committee and the committee members have their own interests and ambitions.

Like in the USSR, this will end and we'll get consistent policy again once a new Dear Leader with ability to crack skulls in a serious way rises up. We have a Chernenko right now, with similar results. Eventually, we'll get a Khrushchev and things will stabilize. If we're lucky, we'll get a Gorbachev who pushes on the wrong supports and the wheels will come off altogether until the state fails due to the accumulated rot.

159 Not really true about Russia anymore. Essentially China (electronics etc.), Iran (drones), and the North Koreans (artillery shells) are propping up the Russian military machine. Russia essentially is trading oil and other goodies for it.

China and to some extent Iran and the Norks actually have their economies able to support their own military actions.
Posted by: whig at April 24, 2024 01:43 PM (cViPl)

Yeah, those silly Russians are only able to produce 1 million plus 152mm artillery rounds per year. The reason why they went to the NORKs, because they were firing north of 100K rounds of 152mm on a monthly basis. They traded the NORKs some oil and possibly hypersonic missile tech for artillery rounds. The Ukies can't even counter battery fire anymore, they have winchestered on artillery rounds of various flavors. From reports I've read, the FUSA can produce about 100K 155mm artillery rounds per year. This $65 billion is to keep the Ukie government afloat, and possibly coke-head Zelensky alive, for the time being.

Posted by: Blackpilled Steve

Media coverage is a bit idiotic. Right now, the GOP has 218 members and the Dems are down to 212 after the death. 5 vacancies with three GOP and two Dems empty seats via resignation and death. All three of the GOP vacancies (other than Gallagher who has not resigned yet apparently) are due to be filled by special elections in the next two months or so and most likely holds by the GOP. Ditto for the NY Dem seat that is vacant and the NJ seat but dunno when those special elections will be held which depends on state law.

179 Kristol: Congress Pokes Trump, Putin in Eye. Only months ago, congressional Republicans, in a fit of pique spurred by Donald Trump, killed a nearly identical aid package that also contained a number of border security measures.

...a (slight) majority of all Congressional Republicans voted for aid to Ukraine. Most Republican members of Congress took a position on a very important issue against their presidential nominee. That is unusual in American politics. So the GOP is still Trump’s party. But it’s somewhat less so than it was before this week.

Trump hasn’t budged in any fundamental way from the anti-Ukraine, pro-Putin, and anti-NATO stance that he’s embraced for years. So the congressional vote couldn’t help but be a statement of independence from Trump.

If he is to have a chance to win, Trump depends on holding the support of normal Republicans...there’s a different type of undecided voter in play as well...a conflicted and cross-pressured voter.

Call them Nikki Haley voters.

Yesterday in Pennsylvania, 156,000 Republicans voted for Nikki Haley. That’s over 16 percent of the Republicans who voted. That is a lot of Republican voters against Trump.

The media is too single-voiced to be controlled by any number of factions at war. If major splinter groups were in some huge war, we would know it through vicious battles in media. No one is more vile or power thirsty or open about it than the Left.

When the music stops, in terms of liquidity, things will be complicated. But as long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance. We’re still dancing.

Chuck Prince knew that the game would only end one way, but he also knew that the game couldn't be changed one either plays or he doesn't. Prince chose to keep playing - that is, "keep dancing" in his parlance - and could do nothing but keep speeding up.

I strongly suspect that there are many more Chuck Princes than there appear to be.

There are some. Most of the stuff the Party does doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. But where there are factional disagreements, you do see it in the press and this happens in the same way it did in the USSR.

They had two papers - Pravda ("Truth," the Party paper) and Izvestia ("News," the State paper). Usually, Pravda and Izvestia agreed. Sometimes, they did not. When they disagreed, you could learn where the conflicts were so long as you read both papers.

It's the same here. We have the WaPo and its orbit (the Party and IC paper) and we have the NYT and its orbit (the State and LE paper). They usually agree. They sometimes don't. Most of the press focuses on neither issues nor disagreements and just disseminates propaganda. What they spread depends on who is charge, but it's rarely in opposition to anyone else's.

Reforms are possible but it will cost the elite about everything they have extracted from the system over the last 70 years or so. So they cannot contemplate losing power in every institution and their financial gains necessary to do it.

The usual path to reform is a strong man via a coup. The alternative path is a bloody civil war or revolution. Both usually end up resetting the clock on a regime but change the underlying rules and incentives for elites for a time.

What people get wrong on the right is that the left in this country seized power in a 2020 coup and have been desperately been trying to consolidate power in a failing system. It was NOT a popular revolution but simply the left seizing power via a vast election cheat in 2020 and its institutions that it controlled along with its uniparty GOP buddies ratifying it.

The Dums always lined up in lockstep behind her. I don't recall her doing anything unpopular with her base. Of course, all she did was promote commie leftwing causes and spend taxpayer money, so of course they were behind her.

The problem with the GOP is that they're all cheap whores. I guarantee you that the 100 GOP shitmongers that voted for this abomination got tons of calls from constituents and others who will be making bank off this foreign "aid" promising nice fat bribes if they voted in favor of it.

Posted by: ...

The left looks at anyone to the right of them as lacking sufficient purity and deserving of death and impoverishment as oppressors. For the left,politics is religious in nature and heretics to their religious tenets must be destroyed so that heaven on earth can be established. Even the 'nice' ones have seething hate underneath it all of any political opposition to their tenets and would kill in a nanosecond if they thought they could get away with it.

That is because the left believes that they are on the side of angels and the correct side of history. It is easier to go back to the politics of the 30 Years War than to use the outmoded left-right model of the French Assembly after the Revolution.

Senate Passes Ukraine Funding Bill

The Senate has passed a substantial $95 billion aid package to support Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan overcoming strong internal dissent and delays within the GOP-led House.
Key Details:
The bill received overwhelming Senate approval with a 79-18 vote, backed by majorities from both parties despite some vocal opposition.
The package includes $61 billion for Ukraine, $15 billion for Israel, and measures to address Chinese influence, notably involving TikTok.
Critics like Senator Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) expressed dissatisfaction, citing concerns over prioritizing foreign borders over American needs.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate passed a significant $95 billion emergency aid bill aimed at bolstering the defense capabilities of Ukraine and Israel, marking a pivotal moment in U.S. foreign policy amid contentious debates. The aid package, designed to address several international and security concerns, passed with a substantial majority, signaling strong bipartisan support despite notable opposition within both parties.

...
"I think we've turned a corner on the isolationist movement," Senator Mitch McConnell said about the aid bill passage.

Joe Biden will give a Shpeech -- he doesn't give speeches any longer, only shpeeches -- at 3:45pm.

The Senate also passed a bill mandating the sale of TikTok to non-Chinese-state-security owners.

In a significant move by U.S. lawmakers, Congress has passed a bill that presents the most substantial challenge to TikTok's operations in the United States to date, aiming to address long-standing national security concerns associated with the app's Chinese ownership. The legislation mandates that TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, either sell the app or face a national ban, a decision backed by substantial bipartisan support and reflecting years of mounting scrutiny over the app's data privacy practices.
The bill's passage marks a culmination of efforts to legislate against the perceived risks posed by Chinese technology companies, with TikTok in the spotlight due to its massive user base and cultural influence in the U.S. Critics of the app, including key Senate and House leaders, have argued that ByteDance's ownership could allow the Chinese government undue access to the personal data of American citizens, a claim TikTok has repeatedly contested.

55 McConnell mistakes opposition for "isolationists". Name-calling is standard-issue politics, but he can't really believe this.

Spending borrowed money to promote a war the State Department stumbled into, without gaining a single damn thing in return (like even a little bit of face-saving border protection) just grinds his own base into the dirt. He's an open-borders, spendthrift, corporatist, uniparty shitheel.

Considering their Russophobic decision I can't help but wish the USA with all sincerity to dive into a new civil war themselves as quickly as possible.

It will, I hope, be very different from the war between North and South in the 19th century and will be waged using aircraft, tanks, artillery, MLRS, all types of missiles and other weapons.

The "technique" is blackmail. Wander off the reservation and nice gentleman from the IC will show you parts - the tame parts - of your dossier and let you know that there is *much* more where that came from.

And since you are a politician and you're among the worst people on the planet, you will immediately guess the things that might be in the pages you didn't get to see. You know what you've done and so you know just how bad your dossier *could* be, but not how bad it actually is.

But you walk away from the meeting knowing that you - and everyone else - must *never* find out how much they know. So you do as you're told, and serve the Party.

And yes, Ukraine is losing this war, despite all the amazing!!! videos on Youtube that indicate otherwise.

It is sad, but the saddest thing is all the Ukrainians getting slaughtered in combat for a lost cause.

211 The BBC has issued an apology for running a false report on Harry Potter novelist J.K. Rowling’s comments about transgenders, admitting that its reporting was “inaccurate” while also admonishing its journalists about the “importance of accuracy.”

In its original April 2 story, BBC Scotland reported that police declined to arrest Rowling for describing some transgender “women” as men. Apparently unhappy with the decision, the outlet erroneously claimed that the Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 “makes it a criminal offence to make derogatory comments based on disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex.”

Since public polling is about shaping narratives, it's just a sign that the whole, "Replace Biden with someone else," period is over. Democrats aren't going to replace Biden and everyone knows it now. So, it's time to shape the narrative that Biden is going to win in November.

They can make it an issue by picking up the phone and calling their buddies at a network.

It isn't just the IC, it's everyone. The system runs on blackmail, hate and fear - and everyone plays. Everyone has something on everyone else, but nobody has everything on anyone. Everyone is kept guessing just enough for the web of coercion to continue operating, and as a result essentially everyone is stuck. There is only one single safe play: be a "team player" and do what the Party's top apparatchiks demand (and, of course, to choose *your* apparatchik wisely).

280 One of the great moments in lack of self-awareness occurred last week when former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appeared on a podcast produced by a Democratic group called Defending Democracy on Democracy Docket. At one point, Clinton said Trump deeply admires Vladimir Putin because "Putin does what Trump would like to do." Among the things Clinton said Trump would like to do is "imprison his opposition."

At that very moment, Trump was sitting in a Manhattan courtroom, facing a maximum of 136 years in prison on charges of falsifying bookkeeping records of an entirely legal nondisclosure agreement he reached with a porn actress, Stormy Daniels

To be fair, there was some time later They sent some speedboats at night, took some film and sped homeward. They got picked up at night and the convoy got shot up by Russian aircraft. They could have just used a beach in Ukraine for the film crew and lied about it.

The obsessive focus on Crimea by part of the leaders has to be the Brits. Nobody else is dumb enough to think it is vulnerable. The dopey US advisers wanted the "drive to the coast" from the southern lines. Actual Ukrainians wanted to fight in the Donbass.

I, personally, don't agree with this. Christians are Christians because they acknowledge that they are sinners. If there is sin in one's life, and there always is, when someone points it out, it can be acknowledged and let go.

This is made more difficult because, as Putin pointed out in the Tucker interview, TPTB own the media and will only allow out what they approve, so one who fights will always be attacked and not allowed to present the other side of the story. Accordingly, someone who is always attacked, I see as someone who is trying to do good.

Hey, SiD. It's your day today.

Scream Day, celebrated on April 24, sounds silly at first but the day has its merits. Modern-day hustling has led to a lot of pent-up anxiety and pressure, which we all need a healthy way to channel. While meditation is a go-to way to relax, many psychologists are convinced that there is nothing like good old screaming to let it all out. Releasing built-up frustrations through screaming is surprisingly calming for the brain.

Wednesday Morning Rant

In Name Only?

"Republican In Name Only" has been a pejorative for about as long as I've been politically aware. I remember it being bandied about often during the Bush 43 Administration, and less often but still commonly during the Clinton Administrations, when it was apparently first attested in print. It's been in use for an entire generation now, and been in frequent use for more than 20 years.

It remains evergreen despite the arrival of new and even more hostile appellations like "C*ckservative" (I'm not sure if that one will cause advertising grief in the main post, so apologies for the asterisk) that are also quite popular. Something about "RINO" just works and so it remains popular. It has an "X-factor" as far as political insults go and I doubt it will ever leave common parlance. That's too bad, really, because it should - or at very least, it should stop being an insult and become a compliment.

RINO is perhaps the least accurate political insult ever used. The fact that it has been in existence for so long and is still so useful is a testament to that. We don't still have "Nixonian Republicans" because it quit being relevant. We don't still have "Me Too Republicans" or most of the others. But we do still have the misnamed "RINOs" and the term isn't going anywhere because the disconnect between what the Republicans actually are and what their voters perceive them to be has never been solved.

Consider those who are famously "RINOs." They are men like John McCain and Mitch McConnell and Mitt Romney and Adam Kinzinger. The list goes on. And on. And on. It's probably easier to name Republicans who are not "RINOs," and that should underscore the problem with the term. If virtually all of the prominent and powerful Republicans are "RINOs" and have been for decades (though with even greater concentrations today), the term is internally contradictory.

These men are not RINOs, they are "Republicans In Good Standing." These are not phony Republicans who work against the interests of the party. They work against the interests of their constituents, and of the people more broadly, but not of the party. They are not merely titular Republicans. These men and all of their fellow travelers are the Platonic Ideal of Republicans. They are the GOP. This is what the GOP has been for ages. This is what it wants to be. This is the party that puts forward red-meat legislation like ending Obamacare or improving border control when it can't possibly pass, and then refuses to even consider such unseemly things when they are actually in a position to make them happen. We also call this "failure theater," and it's part of the same concept. It's the GOP's modus operandi.

Those who do not behave this way - the odd man who seems to at least occasionally try to do something else - are the real RINOs. They are the ones who do not behave like Republicans. If someone is "in name only," it's the person who is hated by the rest, and the person whom the rest resent for bucking their trend and their norms. Those who normally get called "RINOs" don't deserve to be because they're the real, true, effective, "team player" Republicans who serve in the manner demanded by the party.

If you're looking for a RINO, don't look for a Nikki Haley or Paul Ryan, look for a Rand Paul or Matt Gaetz - or, if you are a Republican, you can probably just look in the mirror. These are the real RINOs.

One could make the argument that the republican party is at it's core, the ideals that are espoused, not the people that occupy the positions. therefore, the miserable twat waffles who are the "nominal" heads of the party are in fact RINOs because they violate the core tenants of the party, thus making them the GOPe, since they're currently in charge.

Tons of variables. You have to do your homework and really look at the offering closely.

For my folks, Advantage was a good move. Theirs is from a real insurance company and doesn't have tons of "extras" like the ones on TV ("free" shoes or groceries or whatever). That real insurance company, however, has an excellent network where they live and there are *more* doctors available to them than there are with regular Medicare. A lot of docs that don't accept Medicare patients will accept a UHC or Blue Cross patient or whatever, depending on where you live.

The plans with lots of "freebies" are usually bad value. The plans from real mainline insurers could be quite good, depending on what they cover and the strength of their network (and participation) in your locality.

45 Yeah, Joe, I think you are right...also think that does not bode well for the future at all. If we are a minority in our own Party, what chance do we have to change things in any timeframe that will matter? ...

I'm less pessimistic about it, actually.

The base is not a minority within the party, the base just isn't in the party. Not really, not anymore. The party doesn't serve its base and doesn't do what it claims. People have started to figure that out, but old habits die hard.

But that also creates opportunity. Maybe the GOP will change and become the party it claims to be, but I doubt it. The GOP may also die and be replaced by a party that is more or less what the GOP claimed to be. That would be fine.

But it's too obvious now what the GOP is, and it isn't what it claims to be or what people (decreasingly) believe it to be.

68 The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID) is a systems thinking heuristic coined by Stafford Beer, who observed that there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do."

The term is widely used by systems theorists, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it.

When a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behavior is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behavior with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.

A (small town) friend chose Advantage and discovered that there was only one (1) doc in town who took it. The next year he had to drive to the next town for the only one (1) who took Advantage.
A year later he was dead. - I think because of the physician's lax practices and procedures.

With Medicare A&B you can choose the best hospital then check which docs have privileges there and pick your Primary and/or specialist. Bam! I had top of the line -brain fart- insurance before retiring and Medicare is better and easier.

The real battle was never at the top. It gets all the headlines, but you're never going to change the party by getting one guy to replace another guy.

The real battle is happening at the ground up. The donor class cares a whole lot less about what elected GOP does at most city council levels. It cares only slightly more about what GOP state reps are doing. Hell, GOP governors can be raging conservative on certain levels. It's just once they get to the federal stage that the corruption really takes over across the board. The corruption at the lower levels are simply of a different character. Real estate instead of military, that sort of thing.

So, that being said, it's places like FL (obviously) and TN (rumors of turning down fed education dollars) where the change to the party as a whole come from. This was always a fight that was going to take at least a generation. The Tea Party was just over half a generation ago.

Rarely - and the big stuff that could be scary is rarely covered - like implants. Dental insurance is a bit of a racket. We all paid for it through our work. We pay a monthly premium to get access to somewhere between 1000-1500 a year in financial support, much of which has significant co-pays attached. It is capped. If something real bad happens, your dental insurance doesn't help very much at all.

173 68 The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID) is a systems thinking heuristic coined by Stafford Beer, who observed that there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do."

The term is widely used by systems theorists, and is generally invoked to counter the notion that the purpose of a system can be read from the intentions of those who design, operate, or promote it.

When a system's side effects or unintended consequences reveal that its behavior is poorly understood, then the POSIWID perspective can balance political understandings of system behavior with a more straightforwardly descriptive view.

There's a fundamental flaw with that approach. It entails that no system can be said to fail, because it is, by definition, doing what it does, and this is its purpose.

So, e.g., our school system is excellent.

Really, concepts such as success and failure, rottenness or excellence, are meaningless by that standard. Everything does what it does, and so everything "succeeds".

203 Another thing to consider with the traditional Medicare vs. MA decision is that in nearly all states the only time you can get a a Medicare supplement plan (which covers the costs that traditional Medicare doesn't) without medical underwriting is during your initial Medicare enrollment period. After that period, it is difficult or impossible to get a supplement plan at a reasonable premium unless you remain in near perfect health. Now, many people are on traditional Medicare without any supplement, but I didn't.want to take that risk as the uncovered costs can be high. In essence it's easy to go from traditional to MA, but not easy to do the reverse. So I decided to go with traditional plus a supplement.

I recommend the book "Medicare for Dummies."

It's funny. I was at a GOP orientation for new RTC Chairs this past weekend, and someone actually said something to that effect. It didn't go well in the room.

When asked what issues we should run on, the answers are Taxes and Schools. All well and fine, but the schools failed us bigly during COVID, and there is absolutely no appetite to hold them to account. In fact, we're racing the Dems to see who can fund all the special remediation programs to get our kids back up to pre-C19 standards first. No talk about funding government at pre-C19 levels either. It's like its a political Third Rail. Everyone wants to MoveOn.org, and not even talk about the last four years.

A challenging environment, to say the least.

237 I was elected chair of my town's Republican Party last month. CT is a very tough state to be a conservative (RINO) in, as the party feels in their bones that the only way to win is to be moderate, and avoid the hot-button issues that we all know the Dems will target in November - abortion, and Trump. Now that I'm trying to walk the talk in the real world, I certainly understand the pull of that argument. If we had a record of winning with that strategy, I'd understand it more. However, we're not winning. Fortunately, there are a small (and growing) group of CT GOPers that want to change tactics as well.

Meh. Just mileage would be fine. If you drive an EV, you pay a mileage tax when you register or renew your car. Check the odometer, do the subtraction, pay the tax.

But that makes too much sense, doesn't expand the panopticon, and doesn't offer lots of graft to a powerful person's cousin. So when they impose mileage taxes - and I suspect they will - it will apply to everyone (not just EVs, so IC drivers will get double-taxed) and they will enforce it with GPS trackers but that's okay because they promise not to use location data for anything other than calculating the taxes. Swearsies.

267 There are also high deductible supplement G plans that kick in when your annual out of pocket expenses hit a certain amount (which goes up every year and is currently around $2000). After the deductible it pays for everything . The premium for the HD G plan is much lower --mine is around $40/month-- and if you aren't sick a lot you will likely save money going this way as most years your out of pocket expenses won't be that much.

Don't forget if you choose traditional Medicare you also need to get a Part D plan to cover your prescription drugs. There all all different kinds of these plans depending on how many / how expensive your Rx are. And you can change Part D plans every year.

Pooky got put on Medicare because he's on SSDI (his premiums are being taken out of his monthly check). But he kept the Medicaid, as well as VA benefits.

298 253 When you sign up for Medicare, make sure you do the prescription part right away. I just did the minimum when I turned 65, and found out later in the year that I'll have to pay an additional amount every month as a penalty.

That works...unless you get a cancer treatable by new immunotherapy drugs. They are considered part D b/c they are pill form (so not chemo covered under Part B)...and they will bankrupt you, even at low % splits this year (when Medicare puts in a ceiling, if it does, next year, maybe it won't be so bad).

FYI - retail price of my future meds is $165K-$191K/year for 1 of them. Then you have other meds you take with them to make sure nothing goes wrong - those are cheaper.

324 Medicare Advantage is basically drug coverage. You have Medicare A & B for doctors and hospital. And I don't know why someone would think optical and dental care is something easy to cover.

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

Um no. Medicare Advantage is "Medicare-like" coverage that is administered by private companies rather than by the government. If you have MA you DO NOT have Medicare Part A or B... although you continue to pay the Part B premium. You have similar services as traditional Medicare, plus drug coverage. But the way they operate is totally different.

Posted by: Notsothoreau at April 24, 2024 12:25 PM (yeEu9)

This isn’t entirely accurate. Medicare advantage is a replacement for traditional Medicare. It is NOT traditional Medicare with drug coverage tacked on. It also replaces a Medicare supplement plan in the sense it will have a stop-loss provision for the 20% of traditional plan B coverage never pays.

But there is a trade-off.

It it also is a private company managing your care, where you can go and who you can see is typically limited - a lot.Refusals to pay or delays in authorizing treatments have been a huge problem, enough that these plans have been derided as scams. Cost shares and high deductibles still exist though there is a stop loss.

I would recommend that anyone who can afford it stay on employer paid insurance as long as possible under the rules, then get traditional A &B with a separate D plan and Medicare supplement. The latter come with de minimis is or high deductible versions, but are needed for stop loss and out of network protections.

359 This post describes the GOP, not Republicanism. A Republic sends its representatives to the legislatures as representatives of the citizenry interests. What the GOP does is NOT representative of the citizenry interests; they are not Republicans. It's that simple.

Why do we keep sending them? Our binary system mostly limits us to two horrible choices, one of which is slightly less horrible than that other. That makes them our representatives, but they don't represent us when they get into office. They are not Republicans. It's that simple.

The article is correct, though, that RINO should be retired. Those who deserve the contempt originally embodied within the acronym now wear the title with pride. The usefulness of the term has expired.

I don't know what to replace it with - something to give the flavor of GOP but not Republican.

Mid-Morning Art Thread [Kris]

Lonely Dwelling
Alfons Walde

Lonely Dwelling is a view of the Tyrolean Alps of Austria. The first thing I noticed about it is its texture. The mountain in the background is craggy and rocky, with high, steep cliffs created by Walde’s application of thick, heavy paint. It is caked on in a way that makes the work look three-dimensional, shaping the surfaces and creating sharp edges and deep crevasses. The artist sculpted this picture, not just painted it. In art, this technique is called impasto.

Along with impasto, Walde also uses chiaroscuro, a heavy use of contrasts between highlight and shadows, usually for dramatic effect. In a piece as quiet as this however, chiaroscuro is used instead to shape and define some objects and frame others. Look back at the blue mountain in the center and the buildings on the edges. There are no clouds allowing strong sunlight. The sun is also low in the sky — either mid-morning or mid-afternoon. This creates long, dark shadows and bright highlights. On the mountain, the blacks work with the thick paint to visually build up the crags and boulders even more. The mountain is solid, massive, and steep, and towers over the dwelling.

Walde’s use of steel-blue creates the illusion that the mountain is in the far distance. Called atmospheric perspective, this technique implies great distances in art and creates an illusion of depth on flat surfaces. Notice how the mountain fills the background even though it’s far away. Walde emphasizes the massiveness of the mountain. In the foreground, the deep black shadows frame the bright mountain and draw my attention to it even more.

Another trait of atmospheric perspective is as an object recedes into the distance, it will get hazier because the air diffuses light passing through it. Here the mountain is crisp and clear, however. Walde might be trying to convey thin air and high altitude. To me, this implies a physical toughness in the people that live here.

In contrast, the foreground is occupied by two plain buildings and two small figures – all painted in browns and black. Here too, Walde’s impasto sculpts and defines the buildings. Almost windowless, the houses seem roughly constructed. Walde’s brown paint creates a plastered-on effect on the outer walls, like a wattle-and-daub or adobe-type construction. To me, this makes the buildings look simple and rough and unassuming. A clue into the lifestyle and personalities of the people who choose to live here.

The mother and child are interesting. Walde painted this family in the same black and tans as the buildings, except for a small, blue cloth on the mother’s lap, the same blue as in the mountain. I think Walde is trying to create visual connections between the Tyrolian people and their region through color. He uses chiaroscuro to shape them. Rather than human forms, they seem to be constructed from blocks and without the heavy shadows, I think these figures would look flat and lifeless and might get lost within the painting. The chiaroscuro gives them mass and dimension.

Walde uses texture, color, and light to define the rough and rugged terrain, and through that, its people. Walde was Tyrolese himself. His later career focused on bright and positive depictions of this region, advertising its virtues and features, and portraying its people. I think his hometown-pride shows in works like this.

Yes -- sort of like the Cliff Dwellings in the Four Corners region, except the mountains are bluer. This is good stuff.

I thought the adult figure was a father with his child rather than a mother; the hair is so short as to be almost invisible. But the adult also seems to be wearing a skirt. (No, I won't get into *that*.) So, mom and child, I guess.

49 When Kris sent me this piece, my first thought was, "Rock-'em Sock'em Robots!"

I appreciate the description of the technique, but it seems to me that the artist got so wrapped up in it that he forgot to put some humanity in it.

Or...Austrians are cold, inhuman people, which is certainly possible!

53 Minor technical question...

When in click on the image to see the larger version, the larger version looks *different* than the one posted within the page. The red splotch for instance, is clearly a blanket or something in the embiggened version. Looks very different and it located in slightly different part of the painting.

And, wisely, they located their dwellings on the south side of a cliff that ran east and west, so the lower winter sun would shine in for warmth, but the higher summer sun would not beam directly in and their homes would be less hot in the daytime. I want a house that's oriented in the same way.

FTC’s final rule will generate over 8,500 new businesses each year, raise worker wages, lower health care costs, and boost innovation

Today, the Federal Trade Commission issued a final rule to promote competition by banning noncompetes nationwide, protecting the fundamental freedom of workers to change jobs, increasing innovation, and fostering new business formation.

“Noncompete clauses keep wages low, suppress new ideas, and rob the American economy of dynamism, including from the more than 8,500 new startups that would be created a year once noncompetes are banned,” said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan. “The FTC’s final rule to ban noncompetes will ensure Americans have the freedom to pursue a new job, start a new business, or bring a new idea to market.”

125 There are some interesting ancient...or very old dwellings among the extinct volcanoes in the Canary Islands. The first settlers there were very shrewd about land usage. With arable land so scarce on the islands, the settlers carved their homes into the mountain sides, leaving the valleys below for agriculture.

It always amazes me, that these islands so far from mainland Spain, have been a part of Spain since the 1300s.

I think, for everyone's safety, we should lock down and cancel in-person voting for the Nov election. Just mail every household a stack of mail in ballots and ask that they only fill out one if they are a registered voter. But also send a stack of voter registration cards with the ballots. It is the only way to ensure safety from the ultraviolent maga right. If it prevents just one person from feeling unsafe...

I'd read he was discouraged because he'd written Eiger the novel as a subtle send-up of James Bond novels and movies, and none of that was translated to the screen. For instance, the hero is named "Hemlock," and he contracts for a U.S. intelligence agency called CII (because it was the result of combining 102 other useless agencies into a single incompetent one). And his boss is named, wait for it . . .

29 The local news chuckleheads just gave their smiley weather forecast. Looks like five days of rain, sometimes heavy. Fools were smiling, saying it will "green things up". Had a pattern like this a few years ago, about this time of year, and had heavy flooding, bridge closures, and the loss of a beloved liquor store.

About a dozen or more people join any given call, though no one takes attendance. Some group members wouldn’t describe themselves with any partisan or ideological lean, but most are united by their dislike of Trump.

63 The ‘whistleblower’ who sparked Donald Trump’s first impeachment was deeply involved in the political maneuverings behind Biden-family business schemes in Ukraine that Trump wanted probed, newly obtained emails from former Vice President Joe Biden’s office reveal.

The emails show Ciaramella expressed shock – “Yikes” is what he wrote – at Biden’s move to withhold the $1 billion in aid from Kyiv, which represented a sudden shift in U.S. policy. They also show he was drawn into White House communications over how to control adverse publicity from Hunter taking a lucrative seat on Burisma’s board.

121 This is absolutely incredible to me, considering the majority of Americans are highly alarmed and unhappy with the crush of 8-10 million illegal aliens swarming every state. Not to mention, it's an election year. A sure winner for Republicans. There is something really, really off going on here.

I don't want anything passed and am completely fine with it *IF* they explain that laws already exist and are not being enforced. The problem is they want to pass new spending bills, too, but the Democrats keep stopping them from passing their new spending bills.

The Senate will never pass it, so it will never be passed by Congress. There's still a House bill dealing with border security in Congress from this session passed by the House and sitting in the Senate untouched. I mean, there's no point sending another. Johnson has pissed me off this week, but this one is reality.

I'm just going to throw out that traveling in 2024, in any conveyance other than your own vehicle or that of someone close to you, is an exercise in dealing with a continual assault of bullshit and, frequently, discomfort without managing to do something which will cause a video to go viral.

May as well be comfortable.

128 G'morning, all.

In many municipalities, the portion of a private driveway which is in alignment with the sidewalk on both sides of the driveway is considered to be a sidewalk for pedestrian safety and traffic/parking laws and policies.

Seldom enforced in some areas, but vigorously enforced in others.

That's hatred for you too.

Anyone who voted Republican will be a target.
They are going to bring that to your future.
To your cities, schools and churches.
No, the FBI won't stop them.
No, your sheriff won't stop them.
No, your police won't stop them.
Did you forget whose side they took in the Floyd riots?
Did you forget whose side they took in Covid?

This is state-sponsored hatred of anyone not on their side.
Not just Middle East countries sponsoring it, but our own government illegally occupied by Democrats.

Now, the BBC reports the protestors have another demand before they leave: Amnesty for those suspended. Of course.

229 Since JJ is having his consult today, here's a Jewish joke I like:

There was once a famous rabbi, and everywhere he traveled, he was treated with respect and honor. One day his driver said, "Rabbi, for a long time I've wanted to be cheered and applauded like you. At our next stop, do you think we could change places?"

"Of course," the rabbi smiled. "But remember, if you get into any difficult situations, be very careful."

The driver agreed, and when they reached the next synagogue, the rabbi was behind the wheel while the driver stepped out, arrayed in the rabbi's clothes. As he had hoped, he was cheered and made to feel an honored guest. The driver thought it was the best day of his life.

But then, someone asked an obscure question about the Torah. The driver froze for a moment, then smiled. "Why would you ask me such a simple question? Why it's so easy, even my driver could answer. Driver, come here and explain the Law to these muttonheads!"

230 Sounds like a Colorado Supreme Court decision to me. Court orders Elon Musk's X to block Sydney church stabbing footage - Australia's online safety watchdog said the social media platform should shield the "graphic" video from all users, not just Australians, saying it would cause "irreparable harm" if it continued to circulate, leading a court to order a far wider block.

What rule requires the Speaker to keep the House in session?

I mean, the Constitution requires the House to go into session in January after the election.
But after that, what stops him from .... doing nothing?

That is what make this Ukraine bill such a betrayal-- he didn't have to pass it, he didn't have to bring it to a vote: He voluntary chose to.

But, but, but! If one more resigns, the Democrats will have a majority and pick a Speaker and ban Trump from the ballot!
Because they are already doing that with the trials.

And, as noted above, if they try that, nothing in the Constitution says the Speaker can't adjourn the House until next session--January 2025.

That Rabbi joke reminded me of this (from memory):
The Pope is being chauffeured around by his usual driver. After many stops at this basilica and that basilica, the Pope is getting bored so he says, "You know, I haven't driven for quite a while. Let's swap places and I'll drive for a while." They do that. Unfortunately the Pope gets too excited and has a lead foot so not long afterwards they get pulled over by a traffic cop. The cop takes one look and goes back to his bike, picks up the radio and calls his boss. The Captain asks him who is in the limo and the cop says, "I don't know but he's got The Pope driving for him!"

324 The Hill: Bannon says House Republicans secretly want Trump to lose...tore into House Judiciary Committee chairman, Jim Jordan, arguing that the Ohio Republican’s support of Trump has been entirely “performative.” “Don’t go on ‘Hannity’ and tell me everything you are gonna do and send some tweets,” Bannon quipped. “Nothing’s happening to support President Trump. Let me repeat that. Nothing".

Some of them might like not taking orders from Vladimir Putin.

Some Repugs may realize MAGA and Trump are a losing long term proposition. Maybe some solid and logical conservative concepts like in the old days may get them back to some level of respect and ability to govern.

Go serve your sentence, you sack of excrement! Bannon was convicted on two charges of contempt of Congress or the United States Capitol attack, and sentenced to four months in prison and a $6,500 fine. He is appealing against his conviction and sentence, and his sentence was put on hold pending the appeal.

348 When I was in college I was an engineering major and didn’t have time to attend protests of any kind…. Even if there were some protest I agreed with (there were zero protests of consequence in all my years on campus), I had to attend class and study… and I had a bit of a social life and went to church. Those things took all my time. No way I could camp out on central campus for a week or two and keep up with class. These protesters either aren’t students or they’re flunking….

I've been at a STEM institution for over 30 years (first as as student, then as an employee). I can count on one hand--with fingers left over--the number of times we've had any major protests during that time. There may have been some protests during the 1960s but that was long before my time.

That much floor space going on line requires a huge infrastructure to support it. Everything from power, water, sewage to parking along with every sort of retail and service that would backstop the daytime and night time operations of those who are in it.

417 407 398 My house is 130 years old and still has some original stuff.

I grew up in not one but two different historic homes. My husband only one but it was older than either of mine (due to where he lived, there were no houses here then just trees and bunnies).

Sinks can last. The floors were kept up. Leaded windows need work but we had the originals. Slate roofs have parts replaced but still with slate so...

We both had basement spring set ups to get fresh water - worked just fine. Most things in the kitchen I remember were original, probably just not fittings and such. around here loads of business for restorers.

Right, with Whatley portrayed by the great Bryan Cranston (AKA Heisenberg).

I read a really good behind-the-scenes book called "Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything."

In it they tell the story of how a member of the lighting crew or something was up on a ladder watching them film the classic scene where Whatley is about to put Jerry under ... and in between takes, the crew-member says to Cranston: "You know what would be funny? If you dentist character takes a hit of that laughing gas first."

Cranston loved it; didn't tell Seinfeld, and on the next take does it -- and he said Jerry nearly fell out of the chair laughing ...

Heh. You’re not wrong.
Every time we have a major repair I say, well we signed up for this.

But the charm part is worth it. And not just the house but the neighborhood. Every house in my hood is 110-140 years old. With 100 year old maple and oak trees. Every house is distinct, no cookie cutter stuff. And it’s downtown and walkable to everything. It’s a small city downtown, ie not an urban hellhole like Chicago downtown.

She's very accomplished and has been involved in a lot of interesting things, mostly based in the UK as she holds dual citizenship, such as: In 2021, she was appointed to the Pandemic Preparedness Partnership (PPP), by the government of Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Safik was appointed as a trustee of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in January 2022.

448 CHICAGO -- According to dispatch recordings, a ShotSpotter sensor alerted police to the shooting that killed Chicago Police Officer Luis Huesca nearly 5 minutes before the first 911 caller early Sunday morning.

Mayor Brandon Johnson on Monday was asked repeatedly about this revelation and his plan to scrap ShotSpotter technology.

The first sign that Officer Huesca was in trouble came in at 2:53 a.m. Sunday, in the form of a ShotSpotter alert for four rounds fired at 5501 S. Kedzie Ave. It was not for another 4 minutes and 50 seconds that a 911 caller picked up the phone, reporting a man on the ground about a block away at 3135 W. 56th St.

450 Thanks, MisHum, and good morning, all.

PA Primary yesterday, the very 1st time my polling area used poll books (Knowink). It was very interesting because the power failed in the specific area in which voting was taking place, so electrical power cords from a powered area of the building had to be ran to the 2 recording voting machines and all poll books in use.

Polling official took name, found it on a poll book and I signed on it. After other officials verified party and voting number, I received a tiny piece of paper on which that info had been annotated and then I handed it to another official who handed me my paper ballot. Made my written selections, went down to the assigned voting machine and fed the ballot in under the watchful eye of another voting official.

Here in FJB's pocket, not much difference but for signing in & recording party & voting # on the poll books but the lack of paper backup makes me wary: 03/07/24, WHYY, Elections 2024 Elections - '101: What to know about electronic pollbooks, which Pa. counties use them, and more.

West side: >National Review, News Elections, April 23, 2024, '‘Squad’ Passes First Ballot-Box Test Since 10/7 as Anti-Israel Dem Wins Pennsylvania House Primary'
In part, Progressive “Squad” member Summer Lee won the Democratic nomination in Pennsylvania’s 12th congressional district on Tuesday night after relentlessly criticizing Israel in the wake of the Hamas attack of October 7.

Lee handily defeated moderate challenger Bhavini Patel after a primary race that came to be defined by the incumbent’s hostility to Israel.

After Israel launched its military operation in Gaza in October, Lee hammered the Jewish state for carrying out airstrikes over the territory, calling for an immediate cease-fire before the IDF had the chance to significantly degrade Hamas. Patel quickly seized on Lee’s anti-Israel comments, arguing that the progressive incumbent is out of touch with her suburban district, which is home to the Tree of Life Synagogue where Jewish congregants were murdered by an anti-Semitic gunman in 2018.

And as CNN writes today: Reagan-era emergency health care law is the next abortion flashpoint at the Supreme Court

In part, A 1986 emergency room health care law brings abortion back to the Supreme Court
A bipartisan Congress enacted EMTALA in 1986 to address the issue of “patient dumping,” the practice by hospitals to refuse emergency room care to patients, often uninsured, in order to save costs.

The Justice Department sued Idaho under the law just over a month after the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling cleared the way for the state to enact a strict abortion ban, and within weeks the administration secured a lower court order blocking Idaho’s abortion ban in scenarios of medical emergencies. Until the order was put on pause by higher courts, including the Supreme Court, it was the rare example of a successful action the Biden administration was able to take to try to mitigate the effects of Roe’s reversal.

Top Story

Legislation to force Bytedance to sell TikTok or shut it down has passed the Senate, lathered in $90 billion of pork, and is headed for President Biden's desk where he is expected to ceremonially smear it with pudding thus passing it into law. (The Verge)

Expect TikTok to start claiming its first amendment rights to act as a spy and propaganda agency for America's enemies tomorrow.

Also... TikTok is banned in China.

Tech News

The FTC meanwhile has voted 3-2 to ban almost all noncompete agreements. (NPR)

The minority pointed out that while this might be a worthy idea, it is not within the FTC's mandate and will simply be struck down by the courts.
Apple has cut its expected sales of the $3500 Vision Pro in half, noting that it is horribly expensive and basically useless. (MacRumours)

It's unusable for gaming (and far too expensive), has almost no dedicated software, can't be plugged into... Anything... And is far too bulky and heavy for AR use (where images are overlaid on the real world).

There are some things even Apple's cult followers won't swallow.
IBM is expected to acquire Hashicorp. (CNBC)

Hashicorp makes... Terraform, that's right, which is for infecting all of your computers with Docker, and Consul, which I have actually used and which sucks.
Samsung has announced mass production of its 9th generation VNAND flash chips, with a capacity of 1 terabit and a transfer rate of 3.2GHz. (AnandTech)

This is TLC NAND too - what passes for the good stuff these days. I think 1 terabit flash chips already existed but only in QLC devices.

13 While on the surface, it would seem that Tik Tok has a arugement, it really doesn't.

Bytedance is not an American company, Congress has in the past forbidden non American companies (or putting restrictions on them) from operating in the US. This is old law, upheld repeatedly.

Sucks to be ByteDance.

(Side note, it's either promting the common weal or national defense this falls under, depending on the arugements. This is well within Congress' authority to forbid non American (citizens) people/companies from operating or owning American assets.)

14 Darn it, I hesitate to post, finally decide to and the Tech thread comes up. I'm a bit of a neurotic mess this time of night as Bailey is again puking.

Odd experience today. Went to see Randy to give him towing bill, covered by insurance. He always had his big dog Wrigley there, part yellow lab he looked just like our Bailey, about the same age, but a bit bigger. Maybe topped out at 120 lbs vs Bailey at 102.

As Bailey has been failing I wondered if I would see Wrigley. No Wrigley so I asked Randy, he said Wrigley died Feb 11, then looked at the calendar, said no, was determined to figure out the exact day. Finally said it was Feb 16, it was important to him to get the exact date right to tell me.

I gave him my sympathies and told him Bailey was on her way out, just turned 14 on Apr 14. Big ole labs just don't live as long as smaller breeds.

As I drove away from the insurance agency the song that came on was "Forever Young". I thought of Bailey as a pup and almost teared up at her current decrepit state.

We finally decided Sun to have her put down and the appt is Thurs, this intervening time is bittersweet.

This is part of the problem with the whole "WE'RE AT WAR!!! IT'S WARTIME!!! WAR!!!" silliness since 2001 where we're still at war and kids in college have grown up in a world where the U.S. was constantly "at war."

It's nonsense and no one believes it.

And now here we are with an "ally" actively engaging in war against us and our youth, and it's not war it's freedom. Because one doesn't mean anything any longer and the other means less and less every day.

Because everyone knows if you make a law, people will adhere to that law, so more laws will reduce lawlessness. Sounds par for the course. Genius, indeed.

25 My heart goes out to you Farmer - show Bailey in every way you can how much all of you love her, and when it's time - this may sound harsh, but it will mean something - if you can, be in the room with her. Hold her head and body as comfortingly as you can. I've had vets tell me it makes it so much more of a calm and peaceful experience for a beloved pet to have the one they love the most there with them.

Again, I don't mean for it to sound harsh, and please don't take offense, but it will make a positive difference for Bailey, and for you.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — An Oregon felon wanted for second-degree kidnapping, reckless endangerment and illegal gun possession charges was tracked down in a porta-potty after he allegedly led authorities on a three-day chase through rural Lane County.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office said that 33-year-old Andrew Hamilton Dimmick of Crawfordsville was seen wielding a sword and huffing nitrous oxide at 11 a.m. near Terwilliger Hot Springs on Saturday. Dimmick left the area before Oregon State Police arrived on scene. However, a sheriff’s deputy found Dimmick driving in the area and attempted to make a traffic stop. Dimmick allegedly fled from the pursuing deputy, who chased him down a gravely U.S. Forest Service road.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A $12 billion passenger bullet train linking Las Vegas and the Los Angeles area was dubbed the first true high-speed rail line in the nation on Monday, with the private company building it predicting millions of ticket-buyers will be boarding trains by 2028.
“People have been dreaming of high-speed rail in America for decades,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg before taking a stage with union representatives and company officials at the future site of a terminal to be built just south of the Las Vegas Strip. “It’s really happening this time.”
Buttigieg cited Biden administration support for the project that he said will bring thousands of union jobs, boost local economies and cut traffic and air pollution. He was also heard to utter the following, "Well, fvck me to tears!"

From the country that established the Reinheitsgebot ("purity order for beer") in 1516 and Oktoberfest in 1811, beer is something where Deutsche obsessiveness has led to wondrous things. Denmark has been giving them a run for their money with Carlsberg, and some people (not yours truly) like the Dutch varieties, but Deutschland does some world-class brewing.

My wife and I have often joked about how, if the stars align properly, that we would make the pilgrimage to Theresienwiese and might even wear the Trachen for Heilbromm, the Stadt my father's family came from. Or from mom's side, where we'd have the choice of Leuthen or the Swiss Canton of Thurgau.

Conundrum:

1) Biden's JA (Job Approval) today is 39 in the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll. That's the lowest it's been all YEAR. However...

2) The RCP summary of betting markets today (Predictit, etc.) has Biden favored to beat Trump by 1.6%. As recently as Feb. 24th, Trump led Biden 44-26 in this metric.

There's no question that Biden has been improving rather dramatically in the polls, even as his Job Approval rating remains at historic lows.

Why? Lawfare, maybe. Improving public perceptions about the economy going forward? Seems likely to play into it.

I like trains too. I have ridden trains in Europe (rode the TGV in France once, at 180 mph), and trains in China, etc.
And they are all...sort of, subsidized. For instance, the pension fund for railway and transit workers in France is financed by gasoline and diesel taxes (at the pump).
And a lot of things in China are subsidized by the government, because for a long time, they were running huge trade surpluses, which are falling now.

So, who is funding and organizing this? My guess is Neville Singh, a maoist millionaire who's wife helped found Code Pink. He stays out of the headlines, but is the one behind all sorts of nastiness going on in the US.

If you haven't heard of him, you'll ask "is he affiliated with Iran? Or some other muslim country?" and the answer is no. He has always gotten a great deal of his fortune from the Chinese Communist Party, and he acts as a high level agent for them in the financial sector.

So the calculation that the potential users do is this: do the savings on fuel, and the slight savings in time justify the cost of a car rental or Uber while in Vegas, plus the aggravations of being stuck in a metal tube with a bunch of other assholes for 2 hours? Or should I take a commuter jet, and be there in 40 minutes.?

Word is that it's Qatar's government is behind a lot of it. They have provided shelter and support for Hamas leadership (more so than Iran... which more or less just funnels weapons to them.)

And... a large number of these "protesters" are Qatar leadership's kids here on visas.

But... the funneling of money for it is allowed by the junta. So, that's a problem.

2) The RCP summary of betting markets today (Predictit, etc.) has Biden favored to beat Trump by 1.6%. As recently as Feb. 24th, Trump led Biden 44-26 in this metric.

There's no question that Biden has been improving rather dramatically in the polls, even as his Job Approval rating remains at historic lows.

Why? Lawfare, maybe. Improving public perceptions about the economy going forward? Seems likely to play into it.

Progressive Rep. Summer Lee fended off a primary challenge from Edgewood Borough Council member Bhavini Patel, NBC News projects, in a race that served as an early test of how Democratic voters feel about the Israel-Hamas war and concerns over rising antisemitism at home.

With 99% of the expected vote counted, Lee held a 21-point edge over Patel.

In a victory speech in Pittsburgh, Lee said, "This movement is stronger than whatever they want to throw at us" and is "stronger than every GOP billionaire." She called for peace "from Pittsburgh to Palestine."

Progressive Rep. Summer Lee fended off a primary challenge from Edgewood Borough Council member Bhavini Patel, NBC News projects, in a race that served as an early test of how Democratic voters feel about the Israel-Hamas war and concerns over rising antisemitism at home.

With 99% of the expected vote counted, Lee held a 21-point edge over Patel.

In a victory speech in Pittsburgh, Lee said, "This movement is stronger than whatever they want to throw at us" and is "stronger than every GOP billionaire." She called for peace "from Pittsburgh to Palestine."

334 If you want to get somewhere in a hurry (or even on time ) a train is not for you. OTOH, if you enjoy siting in your own private (liitle) room, reading, or sitting in the bar car with a drink in your hand watching America go by, it's great.

I've ridden the Broadway Limited, the Capitol Limited, the Empire Builder and the California Zephyr. Ulcer inducing if you're on a schedule, relaxing as hell if you aren't.

I think the Bright Line to Vegas will be successful. If you're heading for Fremont or the Strip for the nightlife, you don't want your own car. Traffic is a nightmare and parking is expensive (For those who haven't been to LV for awhile, free parking at the Casinos is a fond memory). Take the train, avoid hours of boredom, take Uber and avoid frustration, expense and the possibility of a DUI.

365 That same professor -outwardly very mild-mannered, but word got out that he had done some sort of work in Army Counter-Intelligence. That might have been the reason he was posted as a military attaché, not sure.

But it does underscore the way he interacted with students - namely, his office was on the west side of the academic hall, and office hours were in the afternoon. When you came by, the curtains were fully pulled back and the window was full of blazing sunlight, and he had his desk positioned where he was directly in front of it, so that all you saw was something between a blur and a silhouette. There were no chairs for students, just an under-stuffed bean bag. You'd sit there, barely able to hold your balance, shifting and shuffling, while he said, "So, Mr. Drake, what brings you here today? Did you want ... something?" It was like Interrogation 101 - very unsettling.

With that guy, I do honestly wonder - he was LDS and very devout, and looked wholesome as all get out, but there were little quirks. For example, he would say, "Let's see, we've got a quiz scheduled for Thursday of next week, yes?" Way off from the actual date. Some idiot would take the bait and say "Yes!" Then his expression would completely change and he'd say in this very cold "now I've got you" voice, "Then why did I tell you before it was going to be *this* Tuesday?" The whole class would be stunned and that kid probably felt like he was about to be sent to the gray-bar hotel.

He was a great professor, but nobody messed with him, and I'm pretty certain that anyone contemplating cheating in any of his courses would reconsider. I mean like big Life decisions reconsider, shuddering at the very idea of it.

394 I'm actually surprised and a little miffed that we haven't launched more 'Voyagers' of even better technology, better instrumentation and better power generators.

403 Odd experience today. Went to see Randy to give him towing bill, covered by car insurance. He always had his big dog Wrigley there in recent yrs. Part yellow lab he looked just like our Bailey, about the same age, but a bit bigger. Maybe topped out at 120 lbs vs Bailey at 102.

As Bailey has been failing I wondered if I would see Wrigley. No Wrigley so I asked Randy, he said Wrigley died Feb 11, then looked at the calendar, said no and was determined to figure out the exact day. Finally said it was Feb 16, it was important to him to get the exact date right to tell me.

I gave him my sympathies and told him Bailey was on her way out, just turned 14 on Apr 14. Big ole labs just don't live as long as smaller breeds.

As I drove away from the insurance agency the song that came on was "Forever Young". I thought of Bailey as a pup and almost teared up at her current decrepit state.

We finally decided Sun to have her put down and the appt is Thurs, this intervening time is bittersweet.

405 Farmer -that is horrible, and my heart goes out to you. Use this time you still have to show Bailey how much all of you love her, and, when it's time, be there in the room with her for the process. It sounds harsh, but vets have told me it actually makes the procedure go more peacefully for the pet. Hold her head and hold her as much as you can - it calms her down and makes the process easier for her.

These days what happens is a show can escape notice by the suits and wokists for a season, maybe two but if it lives that long then the execs descend on it and start remaking it into the cult's vision and you can give up on it.

It used to happen in reverse. The old Family Ties show at first wanted to be about the parents more than the non-liberal kids but when the materialistic Mallory and Capitalist Michael got popular they de-emphasized the liberal parents and went for it.

The director might have taken longer to lose it, he spun out Buffy for a while. But the last one in the sequence has some bounty hunter threatening to rape the nice girl and the movie apparently had the other young girl go all super-magical power girl so it might not have had as much time as all that for the show to be about adults and reasonable situations.

First mistake, deleting how alien the Cylons are and thus depriving him of an actual 'other' voice to examine the Human Condition.

Second mistake, the big reveal of the other Human toasters in the third episode of the mini-series and then having to create a series.

Third mistake? Well let's see. The entire stupid 'insurrection' plot with Cain.

Fourth? Oh yeah the ending. When the remaining true Human Colonials decide to go native, give up their technology, and hope the Cylons they befriended don't revert. Plus the whole pigeon instead of dove metaphor.

Also, my roommate in college was from Zambia, and while showing me photos of his home and environs, one thing that popped up a few times were Hippo Crossing warning signs. I laughed, but he was deadly serious and said that they were among the deadliest creatures in Africa and frightened him more than lions and mambas and the other usual suspects.

Nothing wrong with that, a lot of good SF borrows the setting from something we know and explores the world from there. The Original series was pretty much a WWII ship doing exploration like they did in the 1500s to 1700s where you docked your boat off a newly discovered area and played the rest by ear.

First mistake, deleting how alien the Cylons are and thus depriving him of an actual 'other' voice to examine the Human Condition.

Second mistake, the big reveal of the other Human toasters in the third episode of the mini-series and then having to create a series.

Third mistake? Well let's see. The entire stupid 'insurrection' plot with Cain.

Fourth? Oh yeah the ending. When the remaining true Human Colonials decide to go native, give up their technology, and hope the Cylons they befriended don't revert. Plus the whole pigeon instead of dove metaphor.

That's not the hard part. Warring against those countries, targeting is the hard part.

If your artillery is a few feet off in any direction, you wind up at war with Austria or Italy or somebody. And if you were expecting to take over Liechtenstein or San Marino, you probably only brought five or six shells.

My dearly missed Molly Dog would pull the laydown stunt if she didn't want to head home from a walk in the woods around the house or if we were at the dog park and I told her it was time to go home. A 115lb field trial strong Labrador with a field trial attitude makes for an impossible situation. She could be so adamant about what she wanted to do.

Mitch McConnell blasted former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, claiming he was part of the reason some Republicans have been hesitant to send more aid to Ukraine in its war with Russia.

“I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who in my opinion ended up where he should have been all along, which was interviewing Vladimir Putin,” McConnell said, according to The Hill. “He convinced a lot of rank-and-file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake.”

The Grand Duchy of Fenwick was brilliant - start a war with the U.S., lose it, then rake in those sweet millions from their own mini-Marshall Plan. I loved the sequel too, where they launched their own space program. (The novels the films were based on have a third and fourth installment, The Mouse on Wall Street and The Mouse That Saved the West. The author, Leonard Wibberley, got the idea for the first novel when he saw the generous aid package the US supplied to Japan in the Treaty of San Francisco and wrote a satirical piece suggesting his home country, Ireland, declare war on America in hopes of getting the same deal, and realized he could turn that into a novel.)

Speedy Pummelling

The Bee:

Non-Prince Harry is now fully a US resident.

And Harry continues doing the laying about that Americans just won't do.

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, has formally confirmed he is now a US resident.
The acknowledgment is said to underscore the prince's increasing estrangement from Britain, after he and his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, walked away from royal duties four years ago.
A travel company he controls has filed paperwork this week informing British authorities that he has moved and is now "usually resident" in the United States.
The paperwork was filed by Travalyst Ltd, a company at least 75% owned by Harry and which was founded in 2020 to "to promote global awareness of the importance of sustainable tourism".

Meahwhile, a "royal expert" says that more employees of the monarchy will come forward with stories of being "bullied" by Meghan Markle.

Royal expert Tom Bower, author of "Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors," believes more information about Meghan Markle's alleged bullying will come to light now that a former aide has officially spoken out.
"The trickle of information will, soon enough, become a stream," he wrote in an editorial for the Daily Mail, published Tuesday.
Bower's statement comes one week after former palace aide Samantha Cohen confirmed in an interview with the Australian Herald Sun that she was one of 10 staffers who were questioned about allegations that Markle, 42, "bullied" staffers during her time in the palace.
In 2017, Cohen, who had previously worked for Queen Elizabeth, was tasked with getting Markle ready for the royal family.
Bower wrote on Tuesday, "Certainly, I believe that Ms. Cohen was soon exasperated, within six months or so, and that Meghan either disagreed with, or failed to understand, the non-negotiable elements of royalty. I also believe that members of Samantha Cohen's team viewed this as an irresponsible self-indulgence. Both sides would blame a clash of cultures."
Cohen, who resigned in 2018, said that she was "treated harshly" and compared her former job to "working with teenagers," according to "Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown" by Valentine Low.

I'm telling you it's a slow news day. I almost made these two piece-of-shit stories their own post.

The Voyager probe had stopped sending data and was Mostly Dead. But now scientists have remotely fixed it, and it's sending data again.

Turns out all they had to do was try turning it off and then back on.

The US space agency says its Voyager-1 probe is once again sending usable information back to Earth after months of spouting gibberish.
The 46-year-old Nasa spacecraft is humanity's most distant object.
A computer fault stopped it returning readable data in November but engineers have now fixed this.
For the moment, Voyager is sending back only health data about its onboard systems, but further work should get the scientific instruments back online.
Voyager-1 is more than 24 billion km (15 billion miles) away, so distant, its radio messages take fully 22.5 hours to reach us.
"Voyager-1 spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems," Nasa said in a statement.
"The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again."

Weirdly, it says its new mission is to "find Creator Kirk." No idea what that means. I guess we'll find out!

A woman riding the LA Metro died after being slashed and stabbed in the neck by a homeless man. No big deal, just all part of California's plan to bring "a diversity of travel outcomes" to riders.

A homeless man with a criminal record was arrested for the stabbing death of an unidentified woman on the Los Angeles Metro train system while she was on her way home from work on Monday morning, officials with the Los Angeles Police Department say. Forty-five-year-old Elliot T. Nowden was arrested for the murder and robbery of the unidentified female victim, who was found with a stab wound in the neck at the Studio City station.
Advertisement
According to police, Nowden approached the 50-year-old victim while still on the train and repeatedly stabbed and slashed her throat before taking her purse. The victim was able to get off the train at the Studio City Station, where she collapsed from her wounds. Police say LA City Fire officials were dispatched to the platform at approximately 4:59 Monday morning regarding a person down call. While responding to the call, dispatchers were updated with several calls stating that the victim was bleeding, but no one approached the victim to ascertain anything about her condition. When authorities arrived, they found the victim bleeding from her neck and transported her to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Cameras located at the station were able to record most of the incident on video and show Nowden leaving the scene immediately after. Police officers were able to apprehend Nowden approximately 30 minutes later, roughly half a mile from the scene of the crime. After being interviewed by homicide detectives, Nowden was subsequently arrested and charged with murder and held on $2 million bail.

Holding a killer on bail -- now there's an innovative concept.

Germany has passed a law facilitating gender transitions for children This is just about as young as five years old.

This is all about what the kids are telling us, right? Not what their genderblending teachers and evil parents are telling them, right?

At REDUXX:

The German Parliament, or Bundestag, passed one of the world's most far-reaching sex self-determination policies on April 12, despite protests from women's rights campaigners. The Self-Determination Act (SBGG) establishes 'gender identity' as a protected characteristic and allows parents to change the sex marker on their children's documents from birth.

That's misleading, and why I didn't publish this earlier. It lets parents change their child's sex from birth but not at birth. That is, they can go back in time and change the (paper) gender of their children as if it was determined to be the opposite gender at the time of birth.

But they only have to wait until the kid is five years old to do this.

Five year olds are fully-grown adults with mature minds, right?

Supported by Chancellor Olaf Scholz's three-party coalition and promoted and supported by the Socialist Democratic Party (SDP), the SBGG also creates the potential for citizens to be fined up to €10,000 (approx. $10,800 USD) for revealing a person's given name and birth sex without their permission -- an action that trans activists staunchly oppose and refer to as 'deadnaming.'
But arguably the most troubling aspect of the law relates to a portion of the bill which permits parents to alter the recorded sex of children beginning from birth. From the age of five years old, it allows for name and sex changes if there is "mutual consent" between the child and their parents.

Oh, and it lets you change your gender ever single year, but only once per year. If you decide you're a woman in April but then decide you're a non-binary trans-trending male in August, sorry, buddy, but you'll have to wait until the following April to make that official.

...
Crucially, the law includes a ban on disclosure that prohibits naming the sex and former birth name of an individual. This prohibition also applies to family members in the SBGG. Anyone who violates the ban on disclosure will face a fine of up to €10,000, which could discourage family members from coming forward to discuss how the identity change impacts them.

The Real Mike Rowe
@mikeroweworks
For a guy who runs a foundation that sends young people to trade schools all over America -- trade schools where I'm pleased to report, no one is calling for the extermination of Jews -- today's headlines are once again offering another excellent reason to consider redirecting whatever financial support you might earmark for the Ivy League, to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation. Why? Because the Ivy League has truly lost its mind.
Consider the latest madness at Columbia University, where the president, Minochuhe Shafik, has announced a new round of remote learning - effective immediately - in response to a noisy rabble of thugs and bullies calling for the eradication of Israel.
If I had a kid at Columbia, I'd be livid. It's simply mind-boggling that the president of this university would rather consign her students to another crucible of remote learning, than permanently expel the protesters. I mean, seriously, what does it take to get expelled from Columbia? These creeps are on camera, literally screaming into the faces of Jewish students.
"They yelled at us to go back to Poland, said we have no culture, and chanted, 'Strike, strike Tel Aviv," said one terrified student. Followed by, "Burn Tel Aviv to the ground," "Go Hamas, we love you, we support your rockets, too."
In a now-infamous image, one demonstrator appeared before a group of counter-protesters holding Israeli and American flags with a sign pointing in their direction that read, "Al-Qasam's next targets."
That's what you get for $68,000 a year at Columbia -- an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies, and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus, than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews. For the love of God, expel them. Calling for murder is not protected speech.

Via Instapundit, the Telegraph reports that this honey of a firethrowing robotic dog is now on sale.

Called the Thermonator, the four-legged robot comes equipped with an ARC Flamethrower mounted on its back, which is capable of shooting jets of fire up to 30 feet.
Designed by Ohio-based firm Throwflame, the $9,420 (L7,600) robot is not advertised as a weapon, with the manufacturer suggesting possible uses include wildlife control, snow and ice removal and general entertainment.

JUST IN: Columbia University has announced classes will be remote for the rest of the year as anti-Israel protests rock the school.

There are now growing calls for tuition refunds for the $70k a year college now that it has practically turned into an online school.

"It’s vital that teaching and learning continue during this time. We recognize conditions vary across our campuses and thus are issuing the following guidelines," the school said while making the announcement.

The German Parliament, or Bundestag, passed one of the world's most far-reaching sex self-determination policies on April 12, despite protests from women's rights campaigners. The Self-Determination Act (SBGG) establishes 'gender identity' as a protected characteristic and allows parents to change the sex marker on their children's documents from birth.

We're told by our sophisticated betters that the disappearance of religious belief will usher in a new, scientific, rational society.

89 Prince Harry, you say? So not part of 'Biden Weighs Giving Legal Status to Immigrant Spouses of US Citizens,' WSJ yesterday. WSJ played it down a bit writing that would only means the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who've entered the country illegally would be eligible for work permits.

The NY Post article of today, 4:16 pm, is stronger worded, though it also refers to the WSJ article: POLITICS, 'Biden weighs amnesty for 1M illegal spouses of US citizens before election: report'

In part, "The White House is considering granting deportation relief to more than one million people who entered the US illegally before marrying American citizens.

The assist to so-called “mixed-status couples” is seen as another concession to would-be Democratic voters ahead of the Nov. 5 election — and would follow potential executive action by Biden to tighten border security, the Wall Street Journal reports.

The outlet added that administration officials believe any backlash over an amnesty order would be tempered by voter sympathy for the couples.

A final decision is not imminent, but the Journal reported the idea has been gaining traction since the summer of 2023."

So, bet on it.

204 Actually what the NASA engineers did was give Voyager 1 a POKE command that made it transmit a system dump.

Studying the system dump, they discovered a few bytes of memory in the FDS, I think that's what its called, had been corrupted.

So now they are trying to figure out how to work around the bad memory.

It takes about 22 hours for a command to travel from Earth to Voyager 1.

Mind you, she didn't limit it to deaths in a school setting, she meant any firearm-related death for any reason at any time anywhere in the Volunteer State. Her logic ... escapes me.

261 Asshole kraut eating bastards.
Posted by: Hairyback Guy

As someone who thanks God on a daily basis that my Kraut ancestors (on both sides) had the good sense and the courage to make their way here nearly three hundred years ago, I can tell you one thing about the Old Country: Deutschland doesn't do "middle ground" very well. They tend to bury the needle on the right or the left, and especially post-Adolf, it's been on the left (modified with special circumstances during the Cold War).

In a lot of ways, that's been a good thing - a pacifist, pluralistic Germany with a zero tolerance policy for anything Nazi is desirable for the well-being of their European neighbors. But in the last three decades, they've drifted into territory that makes the Weimar period look strait-laced and puritanical.

And the problem is that any reaction to move away from that is - see above. As a positive, sauerkraut can be quite good if made according to the old Deutsch recipe. What most people encounter here is a rushed, pickled nightmare that goes from bad to wurst.

Minnesota State Senator and Democrat AWFL Arrested for Burlarizing Mother-in-Law's Home

She's immune to charges for robbing every other Minnesota citizen.

Minnesota Democratic Senator Nicole Mitchell has been arrested on suspicion of first-degree burglary, just days after posting in support of creating "safer communities" on social media.

Sen. Nicole Mitchell was arrested early Monday in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, following a 911 call about an ongoing burglary at a local residence.
The arrest comes at a critical time for Senate Democrats, who currently hold a slender majority. Mitchell's likely absence could jeopardize the passing of any narrowly supported legislation.
Before her political career, Mitchell served as a meteorologist and is a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard. She was elected to the Senate in 2022.

BREAKING: Minnesota State Senator Nicole Mitchell (D) was just arrested for 1st-degree burglary.

This comes a few days after she publicly advocated for building "safer communities."

He tells another guy a few minutes later, "You see that guy over there? His mother named him Lieutenant. She named him that because when she saw him for the first time, she knew he was a piece of shit."

65 "dispatchers received an urgent 911 call from a homeowner reporting an active burglary. Detroit Lakes Police responded promptly, arresting Mitchell at the scene."

was it the MIL that made the call? or a neighbor?

seems weird ... "active burglary"? Was she loading things in her car? They say "early Monday" ... was it 2am, or 7am? ...

another source "When authorities responded and searched the home, they found Mitchell inside and took her into custody. The home was that of her late father and where her stepmother still lives.

The Becker County Attorney's Office is now reviewing the report before determining whether Mitchell, who is a first-term Democrat and was elected to a four-year term in 2022, will be charged. "

Two-Tier policing:
Metropolitan police deploy police horses after deliberately kettling and cornering a group of English patriots waving English flags, attempting to stop their march.

A scuffle then ensues with police labelling those celebrating St Georges Day as “far right groups and groups linked to football clubs travelling from elsewhere in the UK.”

Metropolitan Police have been widely criticised on X for two-tier policing for their handling of patriotic English demonstrators compared to the way they police pro-Hamas protests, where incitement of hate and violence towards the Jewish community are regularly on display- with limited police response.

Oli London @OliLondonTV
Metropolitan police deployed in full riot gear to stop a march of English people waving English flags as they celebrate St Georges Day.

Contrastingly, riot police are never seen being deployed for any of the pro-Hamas hate marches.

===
It's not horrible. Somewhat realistic space combat. But some of the characters behave in what I call periodic psychopathy

When the story needs drama, the writers have a character do crazy out of character shit. Which is unexpected because out of character. Then after a character arc, they revert to normal. It's got some interesting characters, that said. It's not awesome. Decent.

"JERUSALEM (AP) — The severed head and decapitated torso of a 25-year-old Palestinian were discovered on the side of a road in the occupied West Bank, police said Friday, confirming gruesome details of a killing that shocked Palestinian society.

But accounts that the victim, Ahmad Abu Murkhiyeh, was a gay man who feared persecution for his sexuality and had sought asylum in Israel two years ago turned the terrible crime into a socially and politically explosive case."

She took all of my dad's personal effects out of his condo- they were separated but not divorced when he died. A lot of items that were of no real value but were sentimental that would have meant a lot to my brother and I. I was angry but the reality is - if he didn't leave us those things in his will, then they are hers. It never would have occurred to me to break in to her house to steal them back.

Yes. It's very good. I haven't gotten all the way through it, yet. I need to watch Season 6. Nothing to do with the series, I'm just lazy. I'll get around to watching it, before the year ends. FYI, The Critical Drinker loved it. He seems to have a pretty good feel on what is entertaining and what isn't.

151 If she didn't take anything from the house ... is it burglary? ... She just waited for the cops? idk.
Posted by: illiniwek

Yes, burglary is just the breaking-and-entering part. Theft is a separate crime.

Kind of like "assault and battery." It's still assault if you don't touch the other person, but since it's not usually charged unless there's also battery, people think of "getting punched in the face in a bar fight" as "assault."

152 sort of news : "The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday banned employers from using noncompete contracts to prevent most workers from joining rival firms, achieving a policy goal that is popular with labor but faces an imminent court challenge from business groups.

The measure, approved by the agency’s Democratic majority on a 3-to-2 vote, marks the first time in more than 50 years that FTC officials have issued a regulation to mandate an economywide change in how companies compete. The commission has historically operated like a law enforcement agency, investigating and suing individual companies over practices or deals deemed to violate the law."

But for those in the Biden family and those expressly employed by his administration, every other vote in the nation should go to Trump. The "whopping" 11% margin is a gap that should be between a literal handful of gravel versus Biden.

Our national IQ has sunk so low. "Unexpectedly."

The second attempt was a SciFi Network attempt, and it was ok too. Some miscasts (William Hurt, great actor, but wrong role here), but overall, it was ok. Again, Dune is very difficult to put on film.

Illinois politics have been corrupt for so long that corruption is viewed as the normal affairs and outside reformers are viewed with suspicion.

3, NV and 4 are not the original games though.

Didn't work for me. The sandrider scenes were exhilarating, but the rewrites to make it fit 21st century thinking were distracting and not terribly well done. Best casting: Oscar Isaac as Duke Leto and Stellan Skarsgård as the Baron. Dave Bautista was adequate to the role of Beast Rabban, and Josh Brolin worked well enough as Gurney.
Didn't think he handled Chani or the BG well. There's a difference between grrrl power, and powerful women. (spoiler- Villeneuve doesn't get it)

294 I think Dune 2 is a masterpiece. The cinematography is on level with "Lawrence of Arabia". The Lady Jessica character is spot-on. The BG development is a bit thin because the main focus is on the Atreides: Team A vs. the Emperor vs. the BG vs. the Harkonnens vs. Arrakis. Each of the Atreides' opponents must be confronted, and a two-part film (Dune Part 1 and 2) doesn't leave much room for connective plot and character development We don't see the Guild's participation nor much of Count Fenryg (sp?). But both parts progress smoothly and logically, the action scenes are very good. The Stilgar character is weaker than he should have been. It's the best movie I have seen since Return of the King.

Already Facing a Boycott Over Its Transgender Policy, Planet Fitness Doubles Down and Hires a CEO Specializing In, Get This, "Diversity"

There will be a diversity of penises in the girls' locker room for your daughters to choose from.

Planet Fitness, which plummeted $400 million in value in March after gym-goers boycotted the franchise over a transgender policy, announced it was hiring a new CEO Tuesday who has a history of pushing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
Colleen Keating headed FirstKey Homes for the past four years, where she signed onto the "CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion pledge," which promises to "continually strive to diversify our workforce, hiring through a DE&I lens to find talent in multiple locations and backgrounds," according to The New York Post.
In LinkedIn post from two years ago she said she signed the CEO DEI pledge "to crystallize my unwavering commitment to advancing #diversity, #equity and #inclusion in the workplace and the communities we serve."
"I was proud to be a part of this critical conversation with my peers who are equally committed to making our workplaces trusting places to have complex, and sometimes difficult, conversations about diversity and inclusion, implement and expand unconscious bias education, share best practices (and lessons learned!), and create and share strategic inclusion and diversity plans," the post added.
In a 2022 interview with Triple Pundit, Keating said ensuring the corporate DEI push isn't just a flash in the pan but "starts with DEI being embedded in a company's culture and clearly demonstrated in words and actions across the organization. When we stop thinking about DEI as a 'program' and recognize it as an imperative that's woven into the very fabric of our company then DEI can't be a half-measure or a failure."
When reached for comment, Planet Fitness pointed to its press release announcing Keating's hiring.

In other words: They declined comment.

...
The Western New England University graduate is set to replace Chris Rondeau as CEO of the "judgment free zone" gym on June 10. The Post reports Planet Fitness shares fell by an additional 1.7% earlier this week.

The decline started with the story of Patricia Silva, a Planet Fitness regular in Fairbanks, Alaska, who sparked outrage on social media by recounting her experience of seeing "a man with a penis" shaving in the women's locker room in front of what appeared to be a 12-year-old girl.

Meanwhile, demonstrating that the trans movement is at heart just a movement about "love," the pediatrician who wrote the Cass Report, Hillary Cass, which cautioned about the anti-science behind the trans movement, has been warned to stay out of public transportation for her own safety.

The doctor behind a landmark review of the NHS's gender identity services for children and young people has said fears had been raised about her personal safety amid online abuse after the report's release.
Dr Hilary Cass told the Times she wished to address the "disinformation" circulating about the findings and recommendations handed down by the Cass review when it was published on 10 April.
She said she had received online abuse in the wake of the report and had been advised to stop using public transport.
The report said the evidence base for gender medicine in young people had been thin and children had been let down by a "toxic" public discourse around gender.
Thanks to Cass, evidence not ideology will be used to guide children seeking gender advice

Cass told the Times: "I have been really frustrated by the criticisms, because it is straight disinformation. It is completely inaccurate.
"It started the day before the report came out when an influencer posted a picture of a list of papers that were apparently rejected because they were not randomised control trials.
"That list has absolutely nothing to do with either our report or any of the papers."
Referring to the online abuse she had received, she said: "There are some pretty vile emails coming in at the moment, most of which my team is protecting me from, so I'm not getting to see them."
She added: "I'm not going on public transport at the moment, following security advice, which is inconvenient."

She's been scared out of doing a similar report on adult transgender "therapy:"

NHS England has since announced a second Cass review-style appraisal of adult gender clinics. Cass confirmed to the Times that she would not take part in the adult report after the abuse she suffered in recent weeks.

She said: "You heard it right here: I am not going to do the adult gender clinic review."

She knows better than to blaspheme against the trans cult a second time.

82 I think a lot of their business is corporate. At least in CA it is. They have various scams where employees get free membership, or just a discount but the return is very good since it is access to a larger pool of members, and these members don't really attend.

The corporations do this to qualify for reduced rate on group health insurance. I don't know a lot about this (calling WD?)

So I am not so sure how much this trans stuff will impact many of the clubs. Not because the members don't care, but because most of their revenue is from people who don't show up anyway.

First, "unwavering." Good. I think that will be tested. I hope it is, and that she proves it out, and tanks her company.

Who are FirstKey Homes? It's a corporate landlord that lets out single-family homes in a few big blue cities. Per a Moody's assessment of a couple of the company's special-purpose trusts, leverage is over 90%, plus this gem:
Tenant quality: The tenants are of a weaker credit quality compared to other SFR operators. ... almost 52% of the tenants are not paying through ACH, which is the norm for the SFR sector ... . Some of the tenants are paying their with a credit card

So she's a DEI aficionado and her last job was running a company that is leveraged to the hilt and rents out properties in a handful of big blue cities to subprime renters.

Great choice, guys.

100 One has freedom of speech, freedom of religion ... with the small caveat that you must praise anal sex and trannies as "brave and exciting, and righteous" ... thus denouncing your silly old Christian beliefs.

Same goes for your scientific beliefs (fake vax is bad, climate change is a hoax and con) or your heritage beliefs (Western culture offers the most liberty and greatest success).

You still have all your freedoms, you just have to accept/praise the new National Religion of Woke as superior to your old beliefs.

105 I'm also surprised YouTube didn't pull the podcast because both Tucker and Rogan refer to trannys as trannys which is typically a code violation.

You can't even say the word tranny in the comments without being banned.

It's still used fairly regularly on automotive-related channels. I'm sure that drives YT nuts, but they can't claim it's a hate crime in that context.

Unconscious bias training puts employees in a completely unwinnable situation. If it's "unconscious" how can we know what it is?

Also, factors unrelated to race, gender, ethnicity, and so forth are never part of the bias metrics (e.g., "Are all of your fellow employees assholes?")

I knew this would end poorly and ignored it as I had always done.

Not long after a female employee noticed a male, muslim employee follow her in. She demanded he not do so and...it led to an incredible arguing match.

They both went to HR. He claimed she was racist and bigoted against Muslims. She claimed he was a misogynist who hated women.

He "won" as she was told to shut up and not bother muslims again...because at the time Muslim was higher on the victim stack then AWFL and the company was very woke but...the company then sent a follow up email telling people to NOT argue with others coming in the door...

From what I recall Texas law prevents any child under 10 from being charged with a crime. There were two brothers recently in Fort Worth that attacked an older lady in her garage and stabbed her multiple times. She recovered but it was close. The 12 yo was charged with assault but they could not charge the 8 year old because of Texas laws.

What is a "real gym?"

One of the benefits of loser gyms like PF - before it went woke, but I'm talking about the model - is accessibility. There are a lot of them (easy) and it's far less humiliating to be a fat weakling just getting started there than it would be at, say, a Gold's Gym franchise.

I suspect part of the tranny mania from the elites is they know they've created a shortage of available women - both through de facto polygamy for elites and turning so many women into spherical harridans with danger hair.

So how do you deal with all those low status men that will never get a woman? Convince some of them to become women and the rest that getting a transwoman for a partner is perfectly normal...

Well, it's an informal fallacy, even as fallacy.

But I agree. And I have often said that when you're talking about people--and specifically about "progress", "Slippery Slope" isn't quite the fallacy that strict Logic makes it.

Also, in good narcissistic form, eschewing the review of their own violations: the lefties make all sorts of Slippery Slope arguments (and their equivalents) about every hour.

You can't elect a person who closes the border--That's FASCISM!

Nope, fascism is a much more pervasive form of government that doesn't just start with control of borders.

Actually, I'll amend what I said: It's hard to find a political expression on the left that intends to shame conservatives that is NOT in form a "Slippery Slope" argument.

But the left just dispenses with the more arguable form of it: "X leads to Y" and simply says "X IS (effectually) Y"

Basically correct. The Space Marines are the most popular army in the game...genetically modified super soldiers, fighting for humanity and the emperor of mankind against a relentless onslaught of various aliens hellbent on eradicating human kind.

For 40+ years, Space Marines have all been male, due to a variety of story reasons (validating issues with original female space Marines models not selling, as I understand, when the game was young).

Now, not only have they added female Space Marines suddenly, they've made them part of the Emperor's elite bodyguard. Worse yet, when fans pushed back, Games Workshop responded by saying "there have always been female Custodes (the bodyguards)", which the abundant lore of the last 40 years shows is false. Worse still, fan favorite Games Workshops sites have revealed themselves to be shills, parroting GW's lies and attacking fans as toxic.

Below, aggressive "protesters" demand that Jews leave "their space," which is Columbia University's grounds, where the Jews in question are paying a hundred grand a year to attend.

They also demand that spectators observe their self-declared "community guidelines" and not photograph them as they publicly protest in a public space.

Also, pro-Hamas, pro-war leftists chanted "kill another [Jewish] soldier" and "Burn Tel Aviv to the ground."

The New York Times decided that the most accurate way to describe these criminal protests was to highlight the... dancing and pizza.

OUT: Mostly peaceful

IN: Mostly pizza

Colonizers at NYU have decided to, in solidarity with the foreign colonizers at Columbia, occupy lands that don't belong to them and demand that people who have the right to be there leave.

On Monday morning a "Liberated Zone" encampment was set up at New York University's Gould Plaza by pro-Hamas agitators, in "solidarity" with their comrades at Columbia University. The protest from the encampment became disorderly, and protesters have now breached the university's barricades and are refusing to leave.

Administrators initially allowed the protest to continue and added the "safety requirement" that no additional people enter the zone. Not surprisingly, the protesters didn't comply with that requirement and breached the barricades around NYU buildings by early afternoon.

#BREAKING NYU University students have now ALSO established their 'Liberated Zone' encampment in solidarity with Columbia University.

Despite violating the law and even the suspension-of-the-law rules the university offered the "protesters," no police have been called to arrest the colonizers.

49 On Monday morning a "Liberated Zone" encampment was set up at New York University's Gould Plaza by pro-Hamas agitators, in "solidarity" with their comrades at Columbia University. The protest from the encampment became disorderly, and protesters have now breached the university's barricades and are refusing to leave.

Administrators initially allowed the protest to continue and added the "safety requirement" that no additional people enter the zone. Not surprisingly, the protesters didn't comply with that requirement and breached the barricades around NYU buildings by early afternoon.

The moment NYU turns water cannon on the "protesters," I'll consider whether to reassess the university's stated position.

From Slate, an interview with the current editor of the student newspaper, Colin Roedl..."The university introduced security forces to disrupt peaceful protest simply because they want to appease the people who are watching the congressional hearings and who are asking questions in bad faith...

...There are alarmists framing this all around antisemitism, or a crusade against Jewish students, whom are hiding or being pushed out of campus. I don’t think any of us have seen that."

Joy Reid interviewed one of the student organizers, and she was adamant that the anti-semitism was not from them but from outside groups protesting in a different location. She indicates their protest is about peace and advocating for violence against Jews would be against all they stand for. I believed her.

We have to be careful about the videos online. Two of the worst ones I have seen (including Go back to Poland) were shot on public streets near the university, not on campus. The president of Columbia can hardly be expected to police those areas.

"On February 3, 2014, IWI entered into an agreement with Vietnam to produce the IWI ACE under license.[9] Production was made in a joint production facility."

So what is it? The best option is to disperse them back into the muslim countries in the region (where most of them came from) and I do not like excuses for why the most reasonable solution is unworkable.

But even then, it would not necessarily be moral. (which is actually an argument or the argument the commies use to disable vote protections.)
-
Well, no, morality isn't the purpose of voting.

The point of voting is to put decision making power in the hands of the people who bear the consequences of the decisions, rather than the few who tend to be able to insulate themselves.

The accumulation of consequences, one hopes, might lead to more moral understanding, though I don't see much of that.

On Friday night, May 3, 1970, the "peaceful Viet Nam war protesters" set fire to and burned down the ROTC building at Kent State. The prevented the local fire dept from responding. Large crowds roamed the streets, and it was beyond the ability of the local police to control the town. The people that lived in Kent were terrified. The Ohio State Highway patrol was on the scene, and relayed this tactical report to Governor Jim Rhodes, who mobilized the National Guard to restore order on May 4, 1970.

263 The point of voting is to put decision making power in the hands of the people who bear the consequences of the decisions, rather than the few who tend to be able to insulate themselves.

The accumulation of consequences, one hopes, might lead to more moral understanding, though I don't see much of that.

Which is why in the Founder's day, you had to either own property, or pay a poll tax, to vote.

ie either financially support the government directly, OR have property so that you would have skin in the game as to who was running your government.

Howz about, no Representation without Taxation? ie, if you get more from the Gov, then you pay in taxes, no vote.

Fire hoses cannot be used for riot control and crowd dispersal, because - you know - they are a Symbol of Racial Oppression in the Sixties.

The Euroweenies use them, along with vehicle-mounted water cannon, because they work. We cannot because the Leftists say so. What other group gets to verbally shame law enforcement to abandon one of its most effective tools for riot control, clearing blocked streets and highways, and clearing occupied public and private outdoor areas?

283 Two points.

1. muslims often say the palis or the muslims in the West are bad, and in Egypt, Syria, Jordan,... everyone behaves. The problem is that comparing crime rates in S. A to crime rates when in Western countries is irrelevant. Their ideology creates a problem which can only be solved by the tyranny of their ideology. So our open societies accept them, they protest, crime, and terrorize, and then the solution is to convert to sharia. This is unworkable.

2. The muslim countries like to say that palis are not their problem and they can not be expected to take them. That is their negotiating position and it does us no good to concede that point up front. Especially since they created the problem and that is the only solution. By saying "oh the palis caused trouble in ...." we are arguing for perpetual war on the West.

Note the way these people talk about masking: "my wife wore no mask." There's nothing "brave" about refusing to mask during an ongoing pandemic, meanwhile the peaceful activists behind her are masking bc they have solidarity w oppressed groups and care about not harming others

Romanticism is one of the movements that splits in a lot of different directions, so you can't draw a straight line from it to Hitler.

However, one strain of it definitely contained a lot of fascination with "creative destruction" and the power of sheer human will to remake existence, and in that sense there is a connection to Nazism. Not to mention Marxism.

Agree.

When a group of people are famous for being unstable, you can't really characterize their full potential one way or the other.

The hippies were simply reactors. They were like children acting out. They claimed positive motives mostly as cover, and a way to attack the older generations for falling short of their own standards (which at least they had, to some degree or other).

You're being facetiious, but the term was coined by race-theorist boneheads in the 19th C. to specifically mean "anti-Jewish," which I guess didn't sound sexy enough. They were the ones who conflated language groups (Aryan, Semitic) with races.

That's because they are first narcissists. And a narcissist lacks the ability to self-reflect and self-correct. You're "a Nazi" because they don't like you and you might want things they don't want for themselves.

For themselves, they will never be "Nazis" unless "Nazi" loses its stigma. On the other hand, they can end up doing almost anything the Nazis did.

2) Biden is gaining in the polls, clearly & undeniably. The betting markets (Predictit, etc) now have Biden as the favorite to win re-election. Two weeks ago Trump was heavily favored.

My only guess as to why Biden is on the upswing is the lawfare. Plus, I suppose, the jobs numbers-- altho these are in dispute if you look at some of the details. Consumer confidence has been improving as well.

Democrat Party Takes a Cut of Donations for Bail for Pro-Hamas Criminals;
NFL Donated to Group Providing Free Bail to Terrorism Supporters

The Soros-backed Tides Foundation is bailing out the criminals shutting down our key infrastructure in an effort to strangle the country into compliance with the terror agenda.

And the Democrat Party is actually taking a cut of these bloodstained donations. The Democrat Party's funding platform, ActBlue, is raising money for the "A15 Action and Community Justice Exchange," which is bailing out the terrorists.

And ActBlue takes a piece of each donation.

Police across the United States arrested dozens of "Free Palestine" protesters Monday as part of a "multi-city economic blockade" targeting major airports, highways, and bridges. Those defendants are set to receive free bail money and legal assistance thanks to an online fundraiser hosted by ActBlue, the Democratic Party's primary fundraising platform that earns a cut off of each contribution.

The "bail and legal defense fund," organized by A15 Action and Community Justice Exchange, remains live on ActBlue's website roughly 24 hours after the protests caused chaos in cities such as San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York City. The fundraising platform--which is used by President Joe Biden and every major Democratic congressional campaign--earns a 3.95 percent transaction fee each time a donor contributes to the fund, according to its policies.
ActBlue's website states that its fundraising platform is exclusively available to groups whose "work is not at odds with values including, but not limited to, social equality; women's rights; LGBTQIA2S+ rights; racial justice; diversity; freedom of speech; disability rights; and respect for scientific inquiry, discovery, and data."
The link between ActBlue raising funds for activists that deliberately "coordinate[d] to disrupt and blockade economic logistical hubs and the flow of capital" in solidarity with "Palestine" highlights the blurred boundary between the Democratic Party's anti-Israel faction and its mainstream establishment.
ActBlue did not respond to a request for comment.
Protesters on Monday aimed to disrupt economic "choke points" to maximize financial disruption, as stated on their website. Activists were advised to refrain from engaging with police, with the promise of receiving "money bail, court fees and fines" and other legal services from Community Justice Exchange upon arrest.

That's the old news -- the new news is that the NFL is also funding the Community Justice Exchange.

Or at least they have funded it, as late as 2022, and are still promoting it on their website.

The left-wing nonprofit that bailed out anti-Israel protesters who blocked bridges and highways across the country last week was a multi-year partner of the NFL's "Inspire Change program" whose work is still promoted on the NFL's website.
Community Justice Exchange set up a "bail and legal defense fund" for those arrested during last week's A15 protests. The protests targeted major airports, highways, and bridges in dozens of U.S. cities including San Francisco, Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia. Their explicit goal was to disrupt economic "choke points" to maximize financial disruption, as explained on their website.
The online fundraiser, hosted by ActBlue and organized in conjunction with A15 Action, told donors that the funds will "support community members who are criminalized in the U.S. for their solidarity with Palestine."
As an official "Inspire Change" partner, the Community Justice Exchange received grants and publicity in its work "to end money bail and pre-trial detention at the local level and immigration detention at the national level." The NFL's partnership with the Community Justice Exchange was last extended in June 2022, according to an announcement from the league. The league touted the left-wing group's "work with organizers, advocates, and legal providers across the country that are using community bail funds as part of efforts to radically change local bail systems and reduce incarceration." The grants went toward "coordinating and supporting the 100+ local protest to bail funds and a centralized rapid response fund to support those protesting for racial justice."
The partnership appears to have since lapsed--the nonprofit wasn't on the list of grantees announced in May 2023. The NFL's "Inspire Change" website lists Community Justice Exchange under "Previous Grant Recipients" and still includes a link to the group's website.
The NFL's promotion of the left-wing group underscores the extent to which anti-Israel groups have been propped up by major donors and institutions in the United States. Community Justice Exchange is also a project of the Tides Center--a left-wing dark money network funded by George Soros and other prominent liberal billionaires like Pierre Omidyar. The Tides Center serves as a hub for a variety of left-wing groups, channeling substantial funds from affluent donors and functioning as a "fiscal sponsor," enabling them to sidestep IRS registration.
Neither the NFL nor Community Justice Exchange responded to requests for comment.

All of the terrorist satellite organizations, from the Democrat Party to the NFL, are refusing to comment.

ActBlue still has to identify the donor. They don't have to report on it, but they do have to collect it IIRC.

The fake conservatives are there to fund raise and not to do anything that the DeepState expressed through the Uniparty does not want.

Essentially, the GOP is there to prevent reform of the current system by acting as the supposed opposition and channelling/smothering dissent to the Uniparty. Twill fail as it always has but the tragedy will be the blood spilled by innocents in the mean time.

I stopped watching a long time ago, but always thought it was "funny" how games would be decided in the fourth quarter all the time, after 3 plus quarters of teams not being able to score. Suddenly they were trading touchdowns, and inevitably the team that was trailing would have the ball late, marching down the field.

I don't believe the players were throwing the games, but I believe the refs either blew or put away their handkerchiefs, based on some standard we were not allowed to know about.

Posted by: BurtTC at April 23, 2024 01:40 PM (Pfem1)

85 ActBlue still has to identify the donor. They don't have to report on it, but they do have to collect it IIRC.

The FEC could launch an investigation and subpoena those records - and hold ActBlue accountable if it cannot furnish them - but it won't. Nor will it do so for WinRed. The spice must flow.

115 Soros is rich, but he's not *that* rich. He's barely in the top 500 richest men list. He's worth under $7 billion. He's a bit player in the top-of-the-top-of-the-top rich guy game.

$7 billion is a shit-ton of money, but Soros seems to have outsized influence, even in his shitty group. As near as I can tell, one of two things is going on:
1. He's the world's most capable "value investor" in activism, and sees tremendous ROI, allowing him to make relatively small moves and yet still buy huge results (the DAs would likely be an example)
2. He's a front man, and much of what says "Soros" on the package is actually financed by others.

I strongly suspect most of the reality is through door number two, and that he's essentially a money launderer and public face. I don't know, though, and I have no idea who the many sources of capital are if so.

I strongly suspect that it's more sophisticated than that. You don't want to use random names, because the odds of getting caught goes up and you could cause real problems. If you use John Doe as a borrowed name to donate a total of $2,500 and then he tries to donate $2,000 to his candidate, it's going to be a problem.

But they are a real fundraising org and have real donor lists that are already vetted. It would be easy to find people who have made small-money donations in the past then filter it for people who only donate small total sums. There, you have a good pool of borrowed names with both a history of political giving *and* a history of leaving you room to maneuver. And if you ask those people, "did you donate to ActBlue," they just answer, "yes."

The Republican Party has been rotting from the head for decades, has done everything it could to undermine its own voters and policy preferences in favor of the policy preferences of its larger donors, and it's been openly at war with its own base for decades. Also, every "campaign finance reform" bill gets massive Republican support in Congress even though all of them have these mysteriously unpredicted knock-on effects of making donations more centrally controlled rather than less.

But sure, it's reasonable to assume that they do no hankey-pankey with donation money.

145 And the Democrat Party is actually taking a cut of these bloodstained donations. The Democrat Party's funding platform, ActBlue, is raising money for the "A15 Action and Community Justice Exchange," which is bailing out the terrorists.

And ActBlue takes a piece of each donation.

imo, most of the DC area riches come from lobbyists buying favors from corrupt government. Spend $10M buying politicians and receive $1B+ in special contracts or various forms or graft. Control of those favors comes from lobbyists in the DC area, instead of the usual supply and demand.

There are also foreign entities buying DC favors, and then the cartels ... but not much US tax money goes into making the area rich, not directly at least.

157 Since Democrat voters want money from the government and Republican voters want to reduce the money government spends it would be easy for the GOP to dramatically reduce spending any time they control any of the House, Senate, or Presidency (though the House is the easiest).

Just reduce something that only the left wants in your budget and...go home.

They have have half of HUD or none. Half of the DoE or none...And so on.

The GOPe doesn't do this because the GOPe does not want to do this.

There are also foreign entities buying DC favors, and then the cartels ... but not much US tax money goes into making the area rich, not directly at least.

It's a bit more complicated than that. The DC suburbs consist largely of highly-educated middle- and upper-middle class people. The working class and the poor are relatively small fractions of the population, at least in NoVa. There are more of the really wealthy than there used to be, but not that many more. In addition, there are lots of people who work in IT and related disciplines.

171 But they are a real fundraising org and have real donor lists that are already vetted. It would be easy to find people who have made small-money donations in the past then filter it for people who only donate small total sums. There, you have a good pool of borrowed names with both a history of political giving *and* a history of leaving you room to maneuver. And if you ask those people, "did you donate to ActBlue," they just answer, "yes."

Much safer and harder to detect

Disagree in part. Using the names of frequent small-dollar donors is a dangerous game because if that person donates even $5 after someone else donated $196 in his name, he's pushed over the reporting threshold and his name now appears on an FEC report with his dollar amount next to it. Someone asks him why he donated $201 to the candidate and he can show he only donated $195, that's a problem.

But they never spoke to the impact this spending has on the ever-expanding deficit and inflation. Nor any discussion about the bill funding the NGO’s that are facilitating the invasion! No discussion of issues that affect Americans in the short term. Fuck the whole lot of em’ including Trump..

The Act Blue Money Laundering Scheme – What Can You Do to Help?

This article has been written to support a video I recently launched describing the ActBlue Campaign Finance Money Laundering scheme. In that video I provided a brief reference to how interested activists can help document the part of this conspiracy or money laundering operation which may be occurring near where you live. If you want to better understand how this apparent campaign finance money laundering operation works, you can watch the video below.

261 ActBlue: The Left’s Favorite “Dark Money” Machine

https://bit.ly/44f0NCP

As InfluenceWatch explains, ActBlue is a service for left-wing groups and Democratic politicians to fundraise without setting up an online donation infrastructure themselves. Money passes through ActBlue to the ultimate recipient and ActBlue collects a fee as payment. This also has the added effect of obscuring the ultimate recipient, since money passing through ActBlue looks like a donation to ActBlue -- not to, say, Black Lives Matter.

Hundreds of groups ranging from left-leaning to far-left use this platform, funneling an incredible $1.5 billion into political causes so far in the 2019-2020 election cycle. Its proved so successful that it spawned a conservative analogue, WinRed, which has raised $235 million for Republicans in the same period.

But the trick to ActBlue is understanding that it’s a single brand encompassing 3 separate nonprofits: a 501(c)(3) called ActBlue Charities, a 501(c)(4) called ActBlue Civics, and a PAC (also called a “527” simply called ActBlue. These groups all share leadership and office space but are legally distinct entities.

Posted by: t-bird at April 23, 2024 03:29 PM (GN7By)

263 ActBlue: The Left’s Favorite “Dark Money” Machine

The real story missed by the media and pundits is far more disturbing.

ActBlue Charities and ActBlue Civics file Form 990 reports with the IRS, meaning that their top-line finances are publicly disclosed. (ActBlue PAC is governed by the Federal Election Commission and so files different reports.) In 2018 (the latest year available), ActBlue Charities reported almost $24 million in revenues and ActBlue Civics took in an impressive $49 million.

But nearly all the money ActBlue Charities and ActBlue Civics paid out is reported generically in one lump, as "passed-through contributions" -- meaning those ActBlue nonprofits don't have to disclose which groups they passed money to or how much each group received in total.

Considering the Left's loathing for untraceable "dark money," that's shocking hypocrisy.
