Saturday Evening Movie Thread - 11/01/2025
Mario Bava
Mario Bava is as emblematic of Italian cinema as Federico Fellini, Vittorio di Sica, or Roberto Rossellini. Moreso, perhaps. His dreamlike visions of gothic horror, that which he's known best for, is part of a package that includes spaghetti westerns (The Road to Fort Alamo and Jay Colt and Winchester Jack), Giallo horror (The Girl Who Knew Too Much and Blood and Black Lace), and sword and sandal epics (Erik the Conqueror and Knives of the Avenger), all popular genres in Italy that sold as well, if not better, than the more high brow counterparts and contemporaries aforementioned.
But he's not taken seriously because he worked in genre, which the critical crowd long held as impersonal and beneath serious consideration. That's changed recently (a positive change in the critical community matched by a host of negative things that far outweigh it), so it makes me wonder what would Bava's career had been if he had made Black Sunday or Kill, Baby, Kill in 2015 rather than the 60s and 70s.
The story of Bava's career is far from smooth, though. Working in the Italian film industry, looking to entertain and without some kind of cult following of investors willing to throw a million dollars at him just to make anything, he was constantly working with independent producers, trying to get anything off the ground. That's what really created his varied filmography of different genres, a good bit of which were chasing trends rather than trying to create them. Still, when Bava worked...he worked.
Style over Substance
Style over substance is typically viewed as a bad thing, an empty exercise is formalism without anything to say about the human condition in order to connect with audiences. However, I do think that it can mesh well and create really entertaining packages that Bava exemplifies.
Take his first film, Black Sunday. A black and white gothic horror piece, it's a very simple story of a witch, trapped by magic (or something), broken free by modern men in the late 19th century and then goes on a terror rampage in the vaguely Eastern European backdrop. Characterization is thin, and the plot is barely existent, but it's a really fun ride in large part because the storytelling is so wane. This gives Bava plenty of space and a simple palate on which to paint his gothic horrors. This gives him time to use images to actually heighten the simple storytelling, creating implicit thematic meaning through explicit imagery that no one actually talks about. It becomes a heavily Christian film about the power of the Christian belief over evil, and it's in large part because Bava has the time and space to use imagery to help imbue meaning.
I'm not here to imply or explain that that's how all of his films work, or even all of his best films, but there is something to embracing stylistic excess that can lead to increased meaning. I mean...I don't think there's anything like that in Blood and Black Lace, but it does heighten the realities of movies like The Whip and the Body and Planet of the Vampires, creating moods and atmospheres that become compelling on their own. I mean, the smoke-filled dreamlike realities of the sadomasochist nightmare that is The Whip and the Body and the Technicolor alien landscapes of Planet of the Vampires are just fascinating to look at, even if the actual stories are threadbare. That's a specific skill that Bava brings to the table, and it's his strongest attribute. However, like many directors, he had weaknesses.
Narrative
Holding together the needs of a film production in one's head is not a small task. You write down everything you can and you delegate to department heads to handle much of the work, but holding a vision in one's head to provide orders to writers, set designers, cinematographers, and actors all while fighting off producers is difficult. Combine that with the normal hectic nature of a film set where things constantly change because locations become unavailable, planned shots can't be executed, actors resist direction, and lights blow out, and the director must keep the production moving forward, all while having to pivot and improvise doesn't undermine the basic ideas of the script. Assuming the script is worthwhile at all. Which is to say that the toolbox a director needs to master is very large and very difficult to master.
Having the skillset to manage all of that is rare. Most directors are workman who can find perfectly acceptable solutions to these kinds of problems, but rely on the script to support them. Bava was seemingly like that, I think, with the added benefit of being visually stylish. He had writing credits on most of his films, but never sole writing credit, the credit he did receive being usually one of at least three, sometimes as many as six total writers. And the writing quality varied greatly, but the key for Bava was matching his stylistic approach with the right kind of script: spare horror, mostly.
The real problem came when he was matched with the rising popularity of Giallo cinema. Largely started by Bava's own The Girl Who Knew Too Much (retitled The Evil Eye in its American release), the genre grew to develop its own conventions without him, largely dictated by other Italian filmmakers like Dario Argento, and they were almost all whodunit proto-slashers that relied on investigation, larger casts of characters, and playing coy with the audience (often by outright lying to them about the secret identity of the killer). This sort of complexity was something that Bava seems to have had real trouble matching with his dreamlike stylings, so he could create works of deep frustration like Blood and Black Lace or Five Dolls in August or Hatchet for the Honeymoon that simply don't connect like they should because he doesn't have the space to play stylistically because he has to dedicate so much time to movements of plot and keeping track of large casts of characters, some of whom could be the real killer.
The Hunt for the Genre Killer
Bava is really known for his early career, dominated by gothic horror, and his later career which includes his most obviously influential film, A Bay of Blood, which is a massive inspiration for the Friday the 13th franchise and American slashers in general. However, its his middle period, from about 1964 to 1970, that I find the most interesting but deeply frustrating. It's where he became lost in the search for box office success by mimicking other people.
The big signal is the spaghetti westerns, The Road to Fort Alamo and Roy Colt and Winchester Jack. The first is a largely dull and uninteresting entry in the genre, made in the same year that Sergio Leone made A Fistful of Dollars, but the second is perhaps more interesting. Roy Colt and Winchester Jack was Bava taking on the assignment of a film and deciding to purposefully make a hash of it by turning it into a comedy. He made three comedies in his career (Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl-Bombs and Four Times That Night are the other two), and only one of them is anything close to good (the last, which is like Rashomon while considering a failed one-night stand). Roy Colt is deeply unfunny and frustrating as it navigates the conventions of the spaghetti western, which I found to be a very interesting choice. It was obvious that Bava was allowed to just make whatever he wanted, and instead of pushing the film towards his obvious natural inclinations like turning it into a gothic horror western (which would have been awesome, possibly), he went the "easy" route and tried to turn it into a comedy. I say easy because directing actors to be silly is less demanding financially than building and lighting sets to accommodate the needs of something like gothic horror.
This is also the period where he was most obviously chasing the runaway success of the Giallo genre. Giallo means yellow in Italian, and it refers to the yellow binding on cheap pulp novels, most of which were horror, that animated Italian pop culture for a time and influenced the genre. The conventions ended up being mysteries about a killer, usually of women, the killer typically being dominantly portrayed as a pair of gloved hands holding some kind of weapon like scissors for most of the runtime while a policeman or often an American actor playing a writer or something would pair up with a young woman to investigate, eventually finding the killer to have some kind of perverted motive. As I previously indicated, Bava's talents did not lend themselves to this kind of complicated storytelling, so we end up with damp squibs of films like Five Dolls for an August Moon.
Late Stage and an Early Death
My favorite Bava film (this is very much an unpopular opinion, by the way, its IMDB rating is in the low 6's) is Shock, his last filmed project (Kidnapped was filmed before but released in one form about fifteen years after Bava's death). And it represents what I think could have been his evolution into a new era where the gothic horror didn't sell. It's set in modern day, about a woman with a new husband and a child from her first marriage. There's a haunting, potential possession, and lots of creepy imagery that reminded me, in particular, of the creepy visuals from John Carpenter in Prince of Darkness.
And I think it works because the narrative is very spare, giving Bava time to dwell on the eerie. There's little to no plot as the mother tries to figure out why her kid is being so creepy (yeah, it is one of those movies), and things just get weirder, lines between reality and her nightmares blending the more the film goes on. It's the kind of narrative structure that Bava needed to flex his stylistic skills even if removed from the obvious original visual space of gothic horror.
It was obvious that the money side of things was becoming extremely difficult, though. That movie Kidnapped that he didn't get to finish and was only released fifteen years after his death? He'd filmed, reportedly, about 99% of it, missing only some inserts to tie scenes together, when the producer went bankrupt and took the print away from Bava so he couldn't finish it. Bava's son, Lambardo, eventually put together a cut that is probably pretty close to what Mario intended, and Mario died in 1980 of a heart attack at 60.
He'd spent twenty years in the film industry before he ever directed Black Sunday in 1960. He was an uncredited title designer on Scipione l'africano in 1938, working his way through assistant cameraman on projects to cinematographer for people like Rossellini on a couple of his short films, eventually becoming an assistant director in the late 50s, even completing projects for people like Riccardo Freda, and finally getting his shot at directing which he blew out of the gate with Black Sunday in stylish fashion.
He probably made films in the wrong era, but when he worked, he was cookin'. His stylish features like Black Sunday, The Whip and the Body, Planet of the Vampires, and Kill, Baby, Kill match with less obviously Bava-esque successes like Four Times that Night and Knives of the Avenger (Shane but with Vikings) to create an interesting, worthwhile body of work that may be uneven (Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl-Bombs is...not good) but has real gems within.
The Ultimate Bava
I am always on the search for the film that can define a filmmaker in microcosm. Usually it's some kind of example of their unique traits in the most obvious form (North by Northwest for Hitchcock or Gremlins 2 for Joe Dante) or the culmination of his talents in the most unified form (The Age of Innocence for Scorsese).
With Bava, I could go in two directions. There are the films that are most thoroughly and distinctly his, that most encompass his cinematic style. Films like Black Sabbath or Kill, Baby, Kill, filled with horror, the macabre, and Technicolor visuals.
However, I end up trending towards another film: Danger: Diabolik. I think of it because it feels like the perfect encapsulation of both the stylistic highs that Bava reached for but also the narrative struggle lows that hit him time and time again. It's essentially two films in one. The first focuses on the eponymous Diabolik, the master criminal, and his girlfriend Eva, and it's all dreamy looks at Mod-esque attitudes and ornate set design that is just weirdly compelling to watch. The second is this slapdash of a host of revolving door characters, almost all policemen, who are trying to come up with ways to catch the criminal which is deeply frustrating and not all that entertaining.
Is there a better microcosm of Bava overall? I don't think so. Danger: Diabolik is definitely not his best film, but it is the one that most fully defines him, I think. I'd sooner watch Planet of the Vampires, though.

Knives of the Avenger (Rating 3/4) Full Review "IHonestly, it feels like he's growing as an artist, which is a very nice thing to see." [Library]
Kill Baby, Kill (Rating 3/4) Full Review "It's a stylistic flex on his part, throwing as much fog and shadow and color into frame to make every moment interesting." [Personal Collection]
Danger: Diabolik (Rating 2/4) Full Review "So, it's frustrating as a whole." [Kanopy]
Four Times that Night (Rating 3/4) Full Review "Something of a small gem in Bava's career, all the more noteworthy for its differences from his more well-known work." [Library]
A Bay of Blood (Rating 2.5/4) Full Review "However, I end up enjoying the film a decent bit simply because Bava tries so hard. I really wouldn't call it good, but it's a fine, thing, stylish entertainment." [Amazon Prime]
Baron Blood (Rating 2/4) Full Review "I'm far from hating the film, but this is less than what I had hoped it would be. It's...fine. Not terribly engaging, but with moments of fun." [Amazon Prime]
Lisa and the Devil (Rating 2.5/4) Full Review "It's not some great piece of horror cinema, but it's solidly entertaining and showing that Bava could disappear a bit into gothic horror, subsuming his more outrageous stylistic flourishes in favor of a more muted visual tone. I'm kind of glad that Bava didn't rewrite it, is all." [Kanopy]
Shock (Rating 3.5/4) Full Review "I don't know if he would have been able to replicate the quality here, but I think it's evidence that he wasn't done yet." [YouTube]

Hobby Thread - November 1, 2025 [TRex]
Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. A spin of the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies (TM) landed on online or video gaming.
Are you thinking "I don't even know what that means and I'm not wise in the ways of computer games but I'm eager to learn more. I can't wait to get into the content!" I knew it. Enjoy.Specifically, tanks. Yes, tanks. And planes. And warships. Big ones. From WWII and later. In January 2010, World of Tanks began their Russian closed beta test. This game is the first of the now-quite large market of WWII/Korean War lobby games.
The Belorussian developer, Wargaming, opened up the US beta test in July 2010.
In 2013, World of Tanks income exceeded that of World of Warcraft, earning the developers $372 million dollars - for a free to play game.
There is also Naval, ranging from Torpedo Boats to Battleships. I'm not any good at those so I don't play them, but you can also use dive bombers and torpedo bombers on the same map as the ships. Only some maps are combined forces but it is available in Arcade as well as Realistic, so even if you're just starting out, you can enjoy jumping into a plane and bombing your enemies while they light your tank on fire.
The "World Of..." games are all hitpoint based, pretty simple to get into. War Thunder is module based - you see your shot (for example) richochet off the commander's hatch, splinter and spall fragments, that slice through your entire crew and detonate your overfull ammo rack. I prefer the more graphic, hideous death of War Thunder. Plus, the planes are just better. Things go boom. What's not to like?
Words of wisdom:
"Because despite all our troubles, when things are grim out in that wide round world of ours, that's when it's really important to have a good hobby." Posted by: tankascribe at June 22, 2024 07:41 PM (HWxAD).
If you have trouble finding something in the content or comments that resonates with you, contribute something from your personal hobbying. We will feature a different theme next time. What are you hobbying? We love showing off Horde hobbying. Send thoughts, suggestions and photos of your hobbying to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Do mighty things.

I remember arcade games in the '80s. Primitive by today's standards, granted, but fun. I got good at Battlezone, the one with the tanks sketched in green lines, because I found out that if you went into reverse as a tank came at you, it eventually faded away and you could continue the game and make some more kills. There was one with a WWI Ace in his biplane, and you could really do spins and fly upside down -- that is, the horizon flipped on you. That one floored me.
Major Havoc was my favorite. It took some thinking. You had to leave your spaceship in a spacesuit, go into a station, avoid a bunch of hazards, turn off the overloading reactor, and get back out before your suit air ran out. Anybody remember that one?

Wolfus,
I always liked the feel of that Canadian style. Very comfortable. However, be careful with the shaft as it can be a bit fragile. That's why I only have one left in that shape.
BTW, I ordered some Sutliff Burley J4 and Sutliff Rum and Maple from Pipesandcigars. I thought those had been discontinued when Sutliff was bought out but maybe not. (The HH series is gone.) Been in a mood for lightly sweet aromatic blends lately and these are good examples.

It's been fun learning about the history of all these games while I've been putting it all together.
For those interested in the tech, I'm keeping it simple to make sure parts are replaceable. Raspberry pi 5 with 8 GB (might be overkill), HORI fight commander USB gamepads, and a case with active cooling. Loaded with Lakka 5, which has all the emulation cores and controller profiles built in.
I'm adding a crapload of console games too, but I'm doing that last since that doesn't need testing.

I played the crap out of Civilization 2...and then the next versions got too dang detail-focused. Same for Front Office Football. And the Sims. I like simple, straightforward game play with "just enough" details when I game. Not insane amounts.

It also has a lot of fan-created community content so you can jump in for a few minutes, solve a map, and then quit.

That was a major problem with some of them - some of the puzzle solutions made absolutely no sense, and you would get to almost the end and realize you were fucked because you didn't keep some obscure item in your inventory. You had to trial and error a bunch of stuff sometimes. Planetfall and Stationfall were pretty logical though IIRC

I truly grew up in the golden age of computer games as I suspect most of us 20 YO's did. Dad brought home a Pong game, but since he bought everything from Sears, it was the Sears version.
Played my first adventure game on a PDP-11 which is where I also got my first computer porn off the line printer: Eva.
Anyway, recently son invited me to an arcade day... two hours of pinball and Stargate and I had sore arms the next day! Way out of practice!

The old Infocom games were written in a specialized interpreted programming language. Free interpreters for that language exist, so if you have the old games (or can hoist the Jolly Roger, so to speak) you can play them on whatever computer you have. I have even played one (I think it was "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" which I bought new back in the day) on an Android phone.
Playing an text adventure game on a phone is not recommended.

We had 2 arcades in the local mall. One wasn't actually an arcade, it was a store called Lampstons. I don't even remember what they sold, but they had a long line of pinball machines along the wall by the exit. The other was a dedicated arcade called Spaceport, and that had all kinds of games.

We’d get new games in, and replace the locks and put security bars on them so you couldn’t pry open the coin door before i delivered them to convenience stores and a couple other arcades/businesses.
Many nights after 5, with a 12 pack playing for free to our heart’s content. Often till midnight.
Plus, the “collectors” who gathered up the coins out of machines, were all under 21. So i was elected to collect from the few strip clubs we had machines (not high revenue places) and not as exciting at the time for me, but I REALLY thought some of those strippers liked me!
But maybe that was because i told them I left several credits on the machine…

The problem I had with those is I could never figure out or remember what text commands did something useful.
There was one where you start as a lady in a room, having been kidnapped by pirates maybe? and you had to escape. but you entire inventory consisted of what was in your reticule. I don't think I ever got out of the room on that one.
Adn then there was Sierra and their Kings Quest games. Talk about "save early, save often" and "Here go back hours of gameplay for using the wrong item to solve a puzzle."

I grew up around video games they were a major source of entertainment and is still a time sink for me.
Luckily, early video games weren't that great, so I really fell in love with reading.
But I loved going to the arcade with two bucks and seeing how long I could keep games alive. My great achievement is beating Ikari Warriors on one quarter one summer in Arnold's Park, Iowa.

Step 1: accumulate enough health
Step 2: stand still for a few hours, shooting large ghosts non-stop
Step 3: shoot Death until the score is right
Step 4: stand still while grunts finish you off
(At some 7-11 -- no arcade would've tolerated Step 2...)

Ugh, I'm sorry I missed this thread. I've been playing OpenMW (rebuilt engine for Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind) all afternoon. I've adored Skyrim, but hit my head on the modding wall a few too many times, and decided to take a break and try the rest of the series. Arena was too primitive, and while I liked Daggerfall Unity, I was getting too many random crashes.
I'n looking forward to Skyblivion, though I want to wait until after it's release for a while, since it won't include all the DLC off the bat, and you know there will be something modders want to fix (levelling system and unlevelling the world, I'm hoping).

My mom was from Arkansas and moved to San Diego to marry my dad in 1941.
Dad was 4-F from total hearing loss in one ear from Scarlett fever.
In 1959, IIRC, both the Dogders and the Giants moved to California. My mom became a Dodgers fan. I remember her sitting at the kitchen table watching the Dodgers will listening to the Metropolitan Opera on the radio, while also working on a crossword puzzle.
She never got alzheimers. Sharp as a tack all the way through.

First Dog I Ever Rescued Dear K.T., This guy showed up at the garbage cans by the highway the week before Christmas last year. He followed me home & adopted us.
He was skin & bones, filthy, and full of fleas, ticks & heart worms. I called him Zeke and he was just so grateful for any kindness. After 10 months of good food & lots of love, he’s now 90 lbs. of muscle . . .
We think he is an Anatolian Shepherd - Lab mix. Here he is with my Golden, Maggie.
You just never know what might show up on your doorstep one day. Regards, Dino58
So my brother completed the shelter for our adopted stray, Sammy, last weekend. Then the damned cat disappeared on Monday. Four days, and we feared the worst. Purry was so glad "that guy" wasn't around anymore. I think Della missed him staring at her through the sliding glass door. Then this afternoon (Friday) he showed up ravenous. Maybe he was locked in a shed or garage, but we're convinced it's a Halloween miracle! I don't know if you can see that inside of the styrofoam, there's a sherpa-lined cat cube. MileyLooks very cozy. What experience has The Horde had with kitty shelters? Here's the photo of Della (on the chair) and Sammy from last week. Evidence of a black cat Halloween miracle when Sammy returned!
Was taking care of the grandkids and dogs. We were raking leaves into a pile for some fun. Turned around and the 2 dogs had set themselves up for a perfect photo. Duck is the Rottweiler x mastiff and Bruce is the Golden Retriever.Duck and Bruce were having a great time! Bet the grandkids enjoyed watching them, too! Thanks for sharing such a fun time with us!

(Bride of PI and myself are both cat people, yet still failing on this.)
We have a cat that has de-trained herself from using the litter box for both #1 and #2.
Clean bill of health from vet, we have tried about everything else - extra litter boxes with different litter, hidden litter boxes for added privacy, spraying vinegar water in favorite spots. Nothing has worked.
I am thinking about building a 4x4 "crate" and treating her like a dog.
Anyone have any better ideas?

The concept was mine, the execution my brother's. I realize that we should have made an extended plexiglass balcony, so Sammy can see down the walkway behind the shelter. His head's on a swivel most of the time.
But there are limits.
Last night Purry discovered, to his chagrin, that Sammy had returned. There was a tussle with some yowling and Purry shot down the walkway to disappear around the garage. Sammy strutted around with a ridge of fur along his back, tail a bit fluffed out. Did I mention he has a 13" tail? Yes, I measured it. There's something about a long-tailed cat.

No, Stirling the Great Black Cat did not take advantage of Halloween last night to scare anybody, or even sit in the window with a light behind him. This cat has no sense of the dramatic. He and little Dagny were just sleeping with me during my nap. She is doing well too.

I now skim the box twice daily, which helps somewhat. I laid a giant doggie pee pad underneath it. She pees on that sometimes.
I've heard that excretion issues are often emotional (like a strange black cat that stares through the window at you). Any new stresses in your house?

Unfortunately, the guy is afraid that their big Maine Coon will hurt it, so he asked my sister if we would take it. All our rescues and county shelter are full.
If the guy decides to keep it, great! If we end up taking it, the kitten will have two other kittens to play with. My sister did tell the guy that it can take a week or so for cats to adjust to each other , so I am hoping he gives the two a chance.

It can take a while. My late Arizona and the cats he reluctantly lived with never did become more than barely-tolerated, distant acquaintances -- Arizona's fault. On the other hand, Wolf and Chekov, when introduced, sniffed each other, walked in diminishing circles around each other, and then in an hour they were sitting the window together watching birds.

Yeah, I really hope he gives them a chance to maybe become the best of friends or at least tolerate each other. At least he knows we will take it if it doesn't work out. Our shelters are so full, our cat only rescue ended up taking in a dog. They are also full, but the situation was so heartbreaking, they couldn't say no to the owner who was desperate for help.

Yes. Clumping, non-clumping, scented, unscented.
She is a sometimes outside cat. I will let her in, and then find a piddle in the house 30 minutes later.
I think her preference is smooth floor.
I have even put two ceramic floor tiles in a flat tray, which she used a few times and then stopped.
I think she is operating on a random number generator, and I can't break the code!

That looks (and sounds) kinda like a Malinois pup with that baby. We didn't get to enjoy Daisy as a pup; she was found running down the highway as, about, a teenager, not a puppy but not fully grown (as we found out).
In fact, none of our dogs has been a puppy; they all were found or wandered up as m/l adults. Never had to do any house-training, but miss having had a pup.
Here's another baby-and-critter vid I just happened to find on my way here.

We have no new stressors (that I know of), and moved our oldest cat (17 y.o.) to my son's house for extra TLC in a lower stress environment. The peeing cat occasionally bullied the older cat, so I don't think she misses her - and the poor toilet behavior started before then.
I will keep trying.

Son and daughter have been bringing their two (each dogs by for visits frequently lately. Daisy gets so excited when they show up, and she has some fellow creature to roughhouse with (Ony the old black cat not being much fun). When all five dogs are here, it can get wild. Daisy actually went over the line to almost-fighting a couple of times the other day. Nobody severely injured, but it sounded bad.
Strangely she doesn't tangle with son's gigantic Alaskan Malamute, about twice Daisy's weight!

Gardening, Home and Nature Thread
Usually during Kansas summers the problem in the garden is not enough water. Once in a while we get a wet summer, though, and this year’s has been the wettest I can remember. We got heavy rain nearly every week, often three or five inches at a time. It’s still happening; it’s only Tuesday, and already this week an inch and three-quarters has fallen. The problem is compounded by topography. I live in one of the flattest areas of one of the flattest states, and there’s very little slope in my yard. Insufficient moisture can be remedied with a hose, but a surplus is not so easily dealt with. Some of the plants in my garden like all the water, as do weeds and mosquitoes. Others don’t. I’ve been experimenting with dryland plants, which often do well out in the prairie, and everything looked happy and vigorous back in June. But the rains never stopped, and I’ve lost a number of species I had high hopes for. For those interested in Penstemons: species native to Kansas did fine with all the rain. P. strictus and P. barbatus also look healthy despite the downpours. I’ll have to wait and see on the others.Below, a few snapshots from summer. More at the link above.
Also check out Don's recent Tunes of the Day and ghost story (sort of). He has good taste.
Edible Gardening/Putting Things By From By-Tor:
I found a Key Lime tree, known as Mexican lime tree in California, at work, that had dropped a grocery bag worth of fruit on the ground.
Fifteen minutes of squeezing yielded a full quart of fresh lime juice.
Good for Key Lime pies, obviously, but also marinating meat, putting in drinks( ginger ale and 7-Up for me) and making limeade.
I’m thinking with an acid content of 5% it should stay good in the fridge for awhile.
More of a Spring picture than a Fall one but I keep forgetting to send it. For size reference, that's jeans denim weave. OddbobCould be laying eggs in our stucco by this time of year.
Adventure Friends saw mountain goats while hiking in the Superstition Mountains.
Hi K.T. - I'm ready to turn the calendar page to November, but my climbing roses are still putting out buds and blossoms like it's summertime. Even the "pinkie winkie" hydrangea blooms continue to hang on and provide a nice pop of color for the garden. Cheers, The Pilot

no recipe for Key Lime Pie, however, I love love love to consume it!
coincidentally, I saw a video a couple days ago of how to make lime pickle, a condiment used in Sri Lanka. The channel owner is Rajiv Suvedra, he posts all kinds of arts and home-crafty things. He often demonstrates Tamil cookery, and the pickled lime is just the latest example.
It is not for those who like quick fixes or dishes that are easily prepared, there is a time factor involved.
The result is a sweet/hot condiment that can be used however one sees fit.

We let our trail camera run while we were gone, to check on Collin the barn cat. He's definitely using the shelter we built for him - large cardboard box, thick insulation blocks as liner, with a waterproof, temperature-controllable heating pad underneath, and a fuzzy scrap of blanket for comfort. (Maybe this note would be better left on the Pet Thread, but caring for Collin is a part of our Yard Work, so I put this note here.)

I had a planter full of mixed coleus and 'black'-leaved sweet potato vine. Didn't take pictures while it was so lush and full looking, but did remember to take pics of the cuttings I took last week.
Sweet potato cuttings will root in water in less than 48 hours! Coleus... take longer.

One graham cracker pie crust
1/3 C key lime juice
4 egg yolks ( reserve whites)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Bake crust for ten minutes or so
Beat egg yolks, juice and condensed milk until creamy, about two minutes
Pour mix into crust; bake at 350 ten minutes.
Merengue
Beat egg whites at high. As they get fluffy slowly add in about 2-3 T sugar, and a few drops of vanilla. When merengue is stiff and glossy, top pie and bake until very light brown.
Chill in fridge at least 3 hours before cutting to allow pie to set

Do tomato plants require another tomato plant for cross-pollination?
Posted by: Pillage Idiot at November 01, 2025 01:35 PM (HlyYF)
Not really. What they do need is cooler temperatures. I am told when it is too hot the tomatoes will not set fruit.
I am not sure what to do in that case besides rig sun cloth and spray water.
Posted by: Kindltot at November 01, 2025 02:53 PM (rbvCR)
I separate one egg white from the others and beat thst until fluffy and fold into the condensed milk filling. It makes for a little lighter filling.
Can also be done with a regular pie crust, you just have to pre bake it until light brown. I like this better than Graham cracker crust.

I go out early in the morning and give them all a good shake. Tomatoes are self-pollinators, so I figured this would be a way to shake the pollen loose into the blooms. I've had good luck doing this. I also compliment them on their lovely blooms and foliage and give them pep talks about fulfilling their tomato destiny.

A battery-operated electric toothbrush can be used to vibrate tomato vine stems ... Either reserve a "retired" toothbrush head (rather than tossing) and dedicate it to gardening service, or enclose a still-being-used head with plastic wrap or a food storage bag.

I have the same combo of Sweet Caroline ‘black’ sweet potato vine and coleus, they look atriking together when they fill out. I planted mine with white alyssum and impatiens, and some petunias and snapdragon volunteers filled in some gaps. The volunteers were in the pink and lilac range.
When the afternoon sun hits the black sweet potato vine, its true color of a deep garnet red is revealed.

Teddy Roosevelt, Heroes, Villains and Demons
We must ever bear in mind that the great end in view is righteousness, justice as between man and man, nation and nation, the chance to lead our lives on a somewhat higher level, with a broader spirit of brotherly goodwill one for another. Peace is generally good in itself, but it is never the highest good unless it comes as the handmaid of righteousness; and it becomes a very evil thing if it serves merely as a mask for cowardice and sloth, or as an instrument to further the ends of despotism or anarchy.
We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong. No nation deserves to exist if it permits itself to lose the stern and virile virtues; and this without regard to whether the loss is due to the growth of a heartless and all-absorbing commercialism, to prolonged indulgence in luxury and soft, effortless ease, or to the deification of a warped and twisted sentimentality. Moreover, and above all, let us remember that words count only when they give expression to deeds, or are to be translated into them. The leaders of the Red Terror2 prattled of peace while they steeped their hands in the blood of the innocent; and many a tyrant has called it peace when he has scourged honest protest into silence. Our words must be judged by our deeds; and in striving for a lofty ideal we must use practical methods; and if we cannot attain all at one leap, we must advance towards it step by step, reasonably content so long as we do actually make some progress in the right direction.Nicely free from utopianism, I think. Insane? Heroes, Villains and Demons Some people think of Teddy Roosevelt as a hero. Some think of him as a militaristic villain. And we have just been through the Halloween season of demons, echoing last week's discussion of C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters, which discusses the ways demons can encourage people and even nations to take enticing, but stupid, paths. Following, some updates: Last week we discussed how Marxism led to a repressive form of feminism in Russia, leading to a backlash when Putin appeared on his horse, baring his chest, appearing to be a competent man. The early adoption of abortion as birth control became restrictions on abortion as the government desire for more children increased. And this week, Stephen Green:
SAD, BUT HARDLY UNIQUE TO RUSSIA — PUTIN’S STUPID WAR JUST SPED THINGS UP: After the Purges and the Wars: Why Russia Keeps Running Out of Tomorrow. “Slogans can’t hide the hard truth: Too many people have died, too many women have left, and too few believe the future is worth having children for.”
From our own feminist wars:

261 Lewis helped me remake myself. My fav is The Inner Ring: "Of all the passions, the passion for the Inner Ring is most skillful in making a man who is not yet a very bad man do very bad things." I'm expect most of you, being so Good and Wise have read it. Like Chesterton's Fence, it's a must read. But it was so influential in making me a better person that I feel obligated to link to it, just in case someone missed it. https://tinyurl.com/msj6ydjz Posted by FenLewis discusses the perils of being associated with demons. Meaty stuff about the "inner ring" later.
Thanks KT… the reference to CS Lewis and exquisitely tailored suits reminds me of his book That Hideous Strength… in that book the evil doers were part of the ultimate bureaucracy N.I.C.E. which is populated with polite nicely tailored bureaucrats… but demons are behind the whole enterprise Posted by LinusVanPeltArtificial Intelligence coming up . . .

Lots going on this Halloween week, but hands down the number one story in the world of memes is the trick that Zohran Mamdani is about to play on New York City. Suffice it to say that memesters are not happy about it. Nor are they happy about the continuing Schumer Shutdown, while at the same time they seem to have mixed feelings about the impending loss of food stamps by 8% of the American population. And President Trump’s renovation of the East Wing is still prompting some meme amusement.

Maybe.
The key is to understand that the second quote is only true when seen in context of the first quote. Fighting for virtue is only good when the virtue is true. When your religion (Progressivism, Islam) has warped virtue out of line with the Christian virtue that built Western Civilization, then it ceases to be good.
Because there is only one ultimately good set of morals in the world. A few others come close. But only one is good in such a way as to build freedom and a "high trust society."
Also, Teddy was a Progressive, so read everything he said and wrote with a critical ear. (Yes, a mixed metaphor. Deal with it.)

I think they've operated domestically, pretty much from the start.
Put it this way: The ones who are overseas, mucking things up, are a different part of the agency. There are people who have worked for the CIA for decades, who have no idea what other divisions do, or who they are.

Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared.
From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Jan Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor."
I wonder what Roosevelt would say about Islam conquering Europe and the USA today and Christianity doing nothing to stop it.

Russia is having a demographic crisis, but only to the extent that most developed countries are having a demographic crisis.
Pretending that Russia is having some sort of unique, unprecedented population collapse is simple wrong.

All with someone else doing the work since I do t know one end of an hammer from the other. And I’m still probably at least 5X better off than having rented the equivalent for the past 20 years.
Remember when doing the rent vs buy you have to do like for like. Can’t compare owning a 2500 sq ft home with renting a 2 bedroom apartment. Has to be vs renting that 2500 aq ft home.

Islam has been slowly conquering the US since 09/11/2001.
People warned in 2007 and 2008 about Obama's radical background and his plans to destroy the country from within and they were right. The only difference between Mamdani and Obama is Mamdani is honest and open about his radicalism, whereas Obama pretended to be a "moderate" to get elected.

Now, those states are long gone to radical leftism with no relief in sight. Especially with illegal aliens taking over those states and major cities.
I doubt Minnesota was radical Left and conquered by Muslims 30 years ago. But 30 years later, that is the reality.
Dearborn, Michigan was 93.7% white in 1995, with ~25-30% Muslim population. Muslim population increased to 33-35% by 2000 and stands at 50-55% in 2025.
When cities go radical left, they don't go back to normal, they are conquered. And then Muslims use those cities and states as blueprints for the next areas of Western nations they will conquer.
So to just write off New York City - arguably the United States' greatest and most recognizable city - to Muslims and radical Marxists is foolish.

Bought my first house in 2003 for $162,500. Laid off in 2008 with the economy crash. Tried to short-sell my house, even for as low as $87,000. No luck. Lost it to foreclosure after 2 years of unemployment in 2011.
Been renting ever since, because I have no faith that the powers that be will not deliberately fuck up the economy again and put me back into that same situation.
Sure enough, last March I was laid off from Stellantis. This time, I did not have to worry about losing a house to foreclosure. I also was only unemployed for a month, as I was able to go back to my previous job as a contract hire. But that's never guaranteed.

I've got a flat roof, which mystifies some roofers. The one I got now is a white membrane of Miracle Space Age Material that has surpassed its estimated 15-year lifetime.
The first one was a tearoff, followed by polyisocyanurate insulation, followed by a roll of asphalt shingle. They didn't nail finishing metal sheet on the edges, so starlings quickly began to undermine the roof by pecking out the insulation. To the roofer's credit, he fixed it gratis.

It seems crazy even in a climate where you don't have to worry about freezing, wouldn't the cold water be nasty warm in the summer time? Perhaps that's why the fridge water dispensers got popular, I just think of them as a burst pipe waiting to cause a lot of damage.

Property assessment is around $120K.
The "for sale" assessment is closer to $200K. It's the location and the property. And the fact the house is 1/4 mile off the road, up on a knoll with views, but not visible from the road (except during winter.)
I have a similar place in West Virginia. That one is near the Ohio River. Same price points.

I bought this house in 2013. It was a spec build so brand new but I had no say in anything other than appliances.
The whole house is plumbed with PEX. It gave me pause when I bought it cause it looks so flimsy but so far no leaks (knock on wood). But I can't say I'll be surprised if I wake up to a dripping ceiling someday.

The institutional damage from the destruction of the East Wing is far greater than the loss of historic fabric. Trump is pushing other grandiose projects, such as an arch at Arlington Memorial Bridge and a Garden of American Heroes. If those projects go through, and if new federal buildings are designed according to his personal taste, he will reshape Washington much as the illiberal leaders Viktor Orbán and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have reshaped the capitals of Hungary and Turkey.

FCA (Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles) under the leadership of CEO Sergio Marchionne was great. I think he was the last of the automaker CEOs who refused the EV nonsense. He stated rightly that EVs were a money loss for his business and he was not going to build or sell any more than was required by the ridiculous US government EPA standards.
After he died in July of 2018, the company management did a complete shift in company direction to EVs. With the Plandemic in 2020, FCA took advantage by cutting all contract engineers. After the merger to create Stellantis, new CEO Carlos Taveras then worked to push out almost all American engineers and managers and replace them with outsourced BCCs (Best Cost Country) cheap labor in India and Mexico.
That combined with the then new Dare Forward 2030 campaign to make all EVs, that destroyed the company and culture. It has not yet recovered.

He was a Progressive when it was still a new and shiny political concept. I suspect that he would be horrified at what Progressivism evolved into.
I doubt he was aware of the concept of "Chesterton's Fence" that postulates that limits frequently exist for a reason.

Saw a commercial played during the World Series broadcast earlier this week that used video of some old speech by Ronald Reagan. I didn't catch the whole thing, but it seemed to be using Reagan's words to rip on Trump's tariffs.
I think this is it:

They did not quote Reagan verbatim. They switched the order of sound bites in his speech, and fabricated sentences by joining fragments of other sentences. Very dishonest.

It's because the overwhelming majority of people have no idea what a tariff is, how it works, and have never even heard of one other than Smoot-Hawley which was the wrong thing and the wrong time, and can only compute "tariff bad!" Add in the modern phenomenon of people thinking what the MSNBC tells them to thing, so now it's "Tariff bad! Trump bad! Trump tariff bad!"

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't other countries already have tariffs on American imports to their countries for years (decades?) prior to President Trump enacting his tariff policies this year?
From what I understand, Trump enacted the tariffs to get the negotiations going to:
(1) get trade back to being even across the world, instead of USA goods having tariffs in other countries, but the USA having no tariffs on other countries' imports to the USA and
(2) get American companies to stop outsourcing everything to other countries and bring back production and jobs to the USA.
But they were never intended to be permanent... unless other countries refused to negotiate their own tariffs and unless USA companies refused to stop outsourcing operations and jobs.

Tariffs in one form or other have been around since the existence of trade. Like Phoenicians and Mesopotamians existence of trade. So the OMG TRUMP TARIFF FASCIST REEEEEEEEEEE thing is born of phenomenal ignorance of history in addition to the brainwashed two-minutes-hate these people have adopted toward this President.

The Classical Saturday Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Darboy) 1)This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate.
2) Be kind, be nice until the water cannons come out.
3) No running, jogging, sprinting and/or dashing with sharp objects.
4) Have a wonderful weekend!!!
5) And don't forget to fall back with the end of Daylight Savings.
[Could there by a Mystery Click? Hmmm.......]
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 9/11 – D sent an update for Susan, his wife, and her battle with cancer: Thank you, everyone, again for your prayers for Susan. Her cancer markers went down at the last Dr visit, but she is back to having abdominal pain that is making it hard to eat right. They are trying to get her weight up and thank God for the good days they do have. The really good news is that she is able to walk around again without the fear of falling over.
9/23 Update – The pain has started coming back, so they went to the hospital and found a cyst. They are trying to determine if it is infected.
10/16 Update – Susan was hospitalized for 3 weeks. They removed the cyst and her gallbladder. The chemo continues; it’s rough so far, but the cancer only grown 1 mm, so it seems to be working. Thank you to everyone for their prayers. 9/28 - Teresa in Fort Worth gave an update: It has been 1 year since Teresa started “down the cancer rabbit hole”. She sends her thanks for the prayers as they have buoyed her and her family through this year. She has been blessed to exceed the original 6-12 months predicted, by the grace of God – and the prayers of many people. Her next CT scan is in November, and the surgeon is pretty sure that her tumors will be small enough to remove/destroy.
10/7 Update – A recent CT scan shows lots of calcification (indicating tumor cell death), and the oncologist didn’t see any sign on the small tumors. The area where the largest tumor was now shows lots of calcification and the largest tumor has shrunk by almost 90%! Her next CT scan will be 11/3, and they assume they will be discussing surgery to remove the lobe of her liver, where the tumor is located. Timelines are uncertain, but she is hopeful that she will get to spend Christmas with her family at least one more time, if not more! Thanks to EVERYONE who has been praying on her behalf. 9/29 – toby928 asked for prayers for a brother named Joe, who is being crushed by grief. Joe’s wife is in a coma and will likely die in the next few days.
10/12 Update - – Joe’s wife did pass away. She is safe in the arms of our Savior.
10/18 Update – Joe could still use prayers. Losing both parents and his wife in one year has hit him hard. 10/1 – Duke Lowell sent an update. He is home now, after 8 days in the hospital and every antibiotic known to man. He sent thanks for the prayers, and thanks to God for granting him another day in this glorious world He’s created.
10/11 Update – After a second stint in the hospital, Duke is home now. He was recovering nicely, but something “knocked him sideways”. Severe dehydration put him into renal failure. He is on the mend now. 10/2 – Bluebell passed along an update: grammie winger sends her gratitude for all the prayers – she feels they are working. On Oct 6 she will be starting a cancer treatment program because her doctors are “cautiously optimistic” that they can give her some more time. Monday she gets the port, followed by 6 hours of chemo infusion on Tuesday. The Rev is doing better because now he has some hope. Please pray for her as she starts this treatment program because in her words, “prayer changes things”.
10/18 Update – grammie winger sent an update, that she has had her first chemo treatment. There were no side effects. She noted “God is very kind.” 10/4 – Legally Sufficient’s “Boss” will be undergoing intestinal surgery shortly. It looks scary so prayers for him and his medical team are appreciated. 10/4 – The Fabulous for safe travels as she travels to visit her oldest daughter who is about to be a mother of a baby girl. Prayers for the mom to be and her child. 10/4 – Skip requested prayers for his dad, who fell at church back in August, hitting his head. He fell again at home and has had back pain since then. He is going in for more tests on 10/8.
10/11 Update – Dad has a brace to wear and has pain medication, so is doing OK for now. He will need an outpatient procedure soon for an injection in his spine to fill a void. Continuing prayers will help.
10/18 Update – Dad is in the hospital, needing some blood clots cleared up, and will soon have the outpatient operation for his back.
10/25 Update – Dad was released from the hospital and is in a rehab center near his home. 10/4 – Our Country is Screwed sent thanks for the prayers over the past year, during breast cancer treatments. The prayers have sustained, through surgery, chemo, and now through radiation. 10/4 – Random Dave would appreciate prayers from the Horde. He is one of the 5% of government workers that make the other 95% look bad, and he is trying to move to the private sector. He has found a good possibility to meet/exceed his pay and do an interesting job that is a good fit for his skills and interests. Praying that if it’s where God wants him, He will make it clear and the road smooth. 10/4 – DenverGregg asked for prayers for Ana, a lady from his church who is experiencing unemployment and mental illness, which tend to exacerbate each other. 10/4 – Longtime Lurker, Morgan, offers praise for financial blessings and petitions for safety in upcoming travel and coping with social isolation and loneliness, including finding a church home. Blessings upon Ace, the COBs, the other site workers and all the blog lurkers and participants. 10/4 – Mrs. Leggy asked for prayers for a young girl who is suffering from leukemia and now has a horrible infection of the colon. Surgery may be required and because of her weakened condition, this could kill her. Thanks so very much! 10/6 – Inogame sent happy news about his wife and baby. The 20 week ultrasound was completed, and there is one baby girl with all the correct parts in the correct places. Mom and baby are doing well, though mom could use a nap or 20. 10/7 -CW is a long-time Horde member who could use prayers. His relationships with his son and his daughter have deteriorated recently, and his daughter has cut him off from the grandchildren. 10/8 – fourseasons asked for prayers for a brother-in-law, Chris, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He had another scan last weekend and there is another tumor. He is losing his vision and has lost his ability to speak. He will have surgery on 10/10, and the surgeon said he will probably lose the ability to walk. The family is devastated. Chris is a wonderful man and has always been healthy.
10/11 Update – Chris is recovering from surgery to remove his brain tumors now. He was talking last night, which he wasn’t able to do before surgery. They are hoping for a full recovery. 10/11 – NuclearJim requests prayers for spiritual strength to defeat prostate cancer. 10/11 – the lower depths asked for prayers for his/her mother Gail and her eyes (macular degeneration) and knees (bone on bone) failing. 10/11 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her son. He needs a job and has been diligently looking for one. His degree is in botany. 10/11 – tbodie Lurker requested continued prayers for a son with pancreatic cancer. He has been through 3 months of chemo that significantly shrank the cancer. This week he had surgery to remove the remaining cancer. They also removed his spleen. So far things look good. Thank you. 10/11 – Brother Tim asked for prayers as he has two more sessions of radiation. Prayer works and God heals.
10/18 Update – Radiation is done and now Brother Tim is recovering from the effects and praying for a clean PET scan. 10/11 – Ben Had asked for prayers for a very special man we know as olddog. May his medical issues be benign and full health restored. 10/13 – K requested prayers for a co-worker (Grant). Grant and his wife are expecting their first child, and they are experiencing some complications. K would appreciate prayers for peace and a healthy baby for Grant, his wife, and their unborn child. 10/15 – Bulg asked for prayers for an elderly neighbor, who used to babysit for them, is undergoing chemo for colon cancer. 10/16 – jrgunn5 asked for prayers for a son who is going through a very trying time. The son is almost finished with his teaching credentials and Master’s program. He sees other students being offered positions that he is more qualified for, yet he is ignored by the schools where he is working. He is becoming angry and despairing of gaining a position to pay off the enormous debt he has taken on to pursue this career. He needs to hear God’s voice, and a door opening soon would be appreciated.
10/18 – rhennigantx asked for prayers for his friend John. John was a functioning alcoholic while working, and then retired about 2 years ago, and is now in rehab. Prayers are also needed for Toni. She had to have a kidney stone crushed and says she will never do surgery again. 10/18 – From about That Time can use prayers, as a biopsy revealed some sort of lymphoma. 10/18 – J.J. Sefton wrote:
First of all I cannot even begin to express my appreciation for all the love, good wishes, support and of course prayers for me over this past year. On a positive note, I am essentially cancer free but glioblastoma being what it is means having an MRI done every 2 months to monitor for any new growth.
Right now, I humbly ask for your prayers for my spouse who was recently diagnosed with NPH, (normal pressure hydrocephalus) She's scheduled for a spinal tap to both drain excess fluid to relieve pain and hopefully restore her ability to walk and engage in routine physical activity. Then an MRI will also help them decide if she needs a shunt to be inserted into the brain to drain excess cerebral/spinal fluid away and into her stomach. I'm guessing she'll likely need it, fingers crossed that we can speed up this process and get her back to 100% ASAP.
God bless you, Prayers from me to all of you who are suffering, 10/21 – TecumsehTea wrote with prayers of praise that she has recovered from her heart attack. Areas of concern, though, are that they cannot keep her blood pressure stable and in a desirable range. This has brought several additional trips to the ER to bring it down and for observation. She is asking for wisdom and guidance for the doctor, and patience and peace for herself. She says this has been a scary ride, but God continues to show His faithfulness. 10/21 – Grateful wrote to ask for prayers for Pillage Idiot, that God would guide him in his search for employment – resulting in an opportunity that makes the best use of his unique skills. And that PI be blessed with acceptance of their love and caring for him, as he does for everyone else. 10/22 – Pennsyltucky requested prayers for his dad, who underwent cancer surgery on 10/21. Everything seems to have gone well (they’re confident they got it all!) but due to his age, his hospital stay and convalescence will be longer than usual. Dad is doing well, is awake and alert. A full recovery is anticipated but it will take a while. Thank you so much. 10/23 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant asked for prayers for TheJamesMadison, who recently lost his job. Please pray that he finds a new job quickly, and that God grants him peace of mind and calmness of spirit to face this unexpected trial. 10/25 – M&B would like prayers for M's sister. Suddenly, she got dizzy, and with no other symptoms, was diagnosed with a stage 4 glioblastoma brain cancer. Surgeons said that they were able to remove most of it but gave her an 18-24 month survival. She's just finished the first round of chemo and radiation, and she just feels awful. She has that "deer in the headlights" look, since this all happened so fast, with no real symptoms! M&B have been searching through all the recent news about other medicinal options that are working for this type of cancer. We are grateful for all prayers! 10/25 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for her retired organist Jessie, whose dear daughter, S, died of cancer recently. Also prayers for Korean War vet, R, who has cancer and is not expected to live long. 10/27 – N asked for prayers for her youngest daughter, "LK", who needs prayers for safety and peace, and her best friend "C" for health and that stress not cause a flare up of psoriatic arthritis as they and another roommate work with the police and the landlord to have the 4th roommate "M" evicted because she is threatening them and making the living situation a nightmare. “M” is bipolar and medicating with alcohol. Prayers for her healing and that she find salvation from the self-destructive path she's on would also be appreciated.
For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.
“God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next. Amen.”

Make it a Not for Profit Corp and put major airlines on the directors board.
I always thought that people with skin in the game would do a better job of screening their fellow passengers before boarding an airliner.
Run it like a office fire drill, segregate everyone who is to board a particular flight, and give them a moment to self-assess their crew and manifest.
Can't sue Uncle Sugar or the airlines for any profiling performed by other passengers. And no explanation is required for rejecting any passenger. A curious side effect is that over time there will be fewer Healthy At Any Size™ while the dress code will greatly improve.

I self deleted that observation, but since you brought it up and after seeing some of those more wild Carnival's Section Ape cruises, I'm not sure that the completely segregated planes are all that bad an idea.
As for the "visibly Orthodox Jews", the TSA's budget, not including the tens of billions in deferred defined benefit pensions, is over $11B. I'm sure that the powers of corruption and grift will find a way to handle these hypothetical corner cases from the savings of dismissing this totally Unconstitutional agency.

We spent Halloween at our daughter's and son-in-law's house. Many ghouls and goblins showed up.
Grand-daughter and her hubby came with their two little girls. The older great-grand was dressed as a wolf, and the littlest was a pig. Our grand-daughter wore a headband with pig ears, and a pig nose. The plan was for the family to go Trick-or-Treating as the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs, but her hubby refused to wear a pig nose.
I assisted my 15 year-old grandson distribute candy. I told him he was being too stingy in giving-out the candy. He replied, "The more that's left, the more I get to eat." We had to have a little discussion about selfishness! LOL!

I never knew of anything like that when young. I started to get suspicious when 2 nephews and a niece in the large extended family were diagnosed with that, or other neurological disorders (one had a stroke out of the blue at age 36, fortunately recovered). Asked and all 3 had experience with medications that were supposed to be for various psychological ailments, one had been on Ritalin for example. They weren’t drug abusers, it was all prescribed by reputable physicians.
Long story short, started me to thinking even more about how our medical system is creating at least as many problems as they’re fixing.

I'm thinking along those lines as well. Or it's something environmental. I did read a study, a while ago, that suggested a link between untreated Lyme Disease and glioblastoma. It was a very small study, but Lyme was found in 5 our of the 6 brains studied. I have no idea how to find that information again, but I found the premise interesting.

My neighborhood aged out about 15 years ago with Halloween. Used to be a lot of kids around but now we get none. It's weird as there used to always be a new area with young parents buying the houses that everyone would go to but those have aged out now and all of the new construction is mostly these disgusting 3 story cookie cutter crap apartments that all look the same. They are everywhere and a crime against humanity. No kid wants to do 3 flights of stairs for a nibble sized Milky Way.

Because I'm over 29, my wife pushed me to get a primary physician. I fired the first one because he was such a pill-pusher. The replacement also pushes pills, but knows her place.
It's pretty simple: if you give me 2 or 3 meds at a time, how do I know which one is causing side effects? I won't go along with that. We do one, observe the results, and then, if necessary add another. Even with just one, she wanted to up the dose. I had to point out to her that the label specifically says it takes 2 to 4 weeks to reach full effectiveness and it had been all of 10 days.

The diseconomy of scale in the welfare state is simply staggering. Local charities carry most of the actual weight, with actual poor people relying on them rather than the federal benefits, which mostly go to grifter non-profits for staff salaries.
The whole sector needs to be abolished. If we got rid of all corporate taxes, revenue would go down, but spending would drop by an even greater amount as non-profits wouldn't be applying for grants and passing the dough around.

His doctor was all about checking his diet, even though he always ate healthy and nothing had changed. He was on some medications for a lung ailment, and he himself researched and found that the contraindications between two of them caused uric acid to precipitate in the body, ie gout. Dropped them and it went away in less than a week.

Food Stamp value was a real food item like 1 pound of meat or 1 pound of rice. Essentially Big Govt Dept of Ag buying foods from the farmer or rancher and delivering same to the family in need. EBT is just fungible dollars so that cash (legal and illegal) is conserved for other activities (legal and illegal) with ZERO.ZERO regard for farmers and ranchers.
EBT needs to have a life of no longer than a season (90 days) plus 5 to 14 weeks (average time for 70% of unemployed to find work).

The archetype was the charitable "nonprofit" in L.A. that crowed about how it provided tents to hobos on Skid Row. It turns out that so much taxpayer loot went into the organization that if you divided it out among the tents, each tent cost about $40,000. For a shitty little $200 tent.
But somehow, the selfless dedicated administrators of the nonprofit owned pricey real estate in the best areas and tooled around in expensive automobiles.

Marxism is weaponized envy, an ideology that is nothing more than trying to make a virtue out of coveting your neighbor's goods. People trying to prove it doesn't work are wasting their time because it was never about prosperity and always about theft.
It caught on in part because the industrial revolution increased productivity to the extent that people talked about "the problem of abundance," but there's never too much that we can't make a shortage.

Income taxes were 2% on 100k.
100k in 1910 is about $3.4 M today.
Somewhere around 647,540 people made a seven figure income in 2024.

Across the country the Democrats are paying the price for the complete absence of any serious, intelligent leadership. Because of that the socialists, communists and Islamists are now moving to completely dominate the Dem party. Most don’t want to believe it yet, but Jasmine Crockett looks very likely to win the Dem Senate race primary next year. AOC, Crockett, and Mamdani - those are the new leaders of the Dem party now.

I believe in a caste system. If you are a member of a tribe that lives off the generosity (or plunder) of others, then you get tossed in the Sucks To Be You Caste.
One of many ways to implement this:
Two expiration dates on a package of food. The near date is for those of us who pay for our own food. The late date is for those who have me buy their food.
Cheaters forfeit their entire EBT that month with a reward/bounty going to the cashier who catches it.

Modern liberals have no connection to the actual poor, and measure their virtue by how they feel, not what results are achieved.
Older folks understood that if you give someone money, they will likely waste it - they are poor for a reason. So you feed them directly, and you move the commodities directly, which makes theft much more difficult (trying fencing a case of mayonnaise vs redirecting a cash deposit to "overhead").
That's all been lost, which is how we have the current Dem leadership. Also trannies, because reality is now optional, and if people don't go along, you punish them, not accept that your fantasy is just that - imagined.

I doubt it, certainly in the short-term. We are seeing the end result of multiple generations of people being told that they're worthless and will never amount to anything, all because of an "oppressor", and are entitled to a stipend.
If you tell people that their lives have no value, many will internalize that and live undisciplined lives with the corresponding drug/alcohol abuse, sexual license, and sloth. Interestingly, there was a reaction to the doctrines of John Calvin: if one's behavior did not affect God's selection of the Elect, there was no reason not to eat, drink and be merry -- so why not party and fornicate?

I've written about this before. I had a route with a courier company in the late 70's. Boxes of food stamp booklets. NO sign out to pick up and no sigh in for receipt. And I know from personal observation that the Cadillac queens picking up their booklets is true.
Physical coupons are as easy or easier to sell or trade than the swipe cards. There is likely less stigma now than then.

Just shut the whole thing down completely. It doesn't work.
My wife is volunteering with St. Vincent and they do all their work in actual food, actual clothing, etc. The people they serve are invisible to the feds, the poorest of the poor, but none of the aid reaches them because the non-profits suck it all up with bogus projects and of course all the retailers allow "working poor" to buy non-food items by relabeling them. It's a pure game, and people who could go to work figure out that it's more profitable to scam the system.
Meanwhile people who happen to fall on hard times due to job loss cannot navigate the maze of regulations and jump through all the hoops, so they go to the local outfits, who actually know and keep tabs on their clients.

We've had this conversation before, and I'm in complete agreement. People lecturing us on how to spend Other People's Money need to be confronted on how THEY are helping the poor.
After Billie Eilish's smug "billionaires need to give away their money" what occurred to me was that she was not taking any personal responsibility to help the plight of the poor. I donate thousands of dollars every year to my parish, what are you doing Miss Eilish? I suspect the answer is very little.

Japan really does have a bear problem as well as a wild boar problem.
Bear attacks have happened even in southern prefectures not known for having bears.
This week a female politician got up and gave a speech lambasting the bear hunting allowed and policies in general as not effective, she introduced a bill, IIRC, to make hunting both bears and boars quicker. Right now it's up to the police who take in general 2-9 hours to show up after a bear attack.
The problem, of course, is that citywards and Japanese AWFLs don't want the "cute and cuddly" bears to be harmed.
And I guess I can see that, bears sure do look both cute and cuddly, and even fluffy,
until they start eating you.

There's very much a strain of American philosophical thought that people are poor as a result of a character defect and deserve to suffer for it. To be sure, poverty can be the result of bad life decisions, but it can also strike down otherwise hard-working folks and my experience of FUNemployment was very instructive in how the system actually works.
We've gamed it so that collecting the benefits requires quite a bit of work, supposedly to prevent waste (HAH!) but it really served to filter out everyone but the professional poor and their patrons. People recover despite the system, not because of it.

In "The Red Thread", Diana West thinks Niebuhr was basically communist (iirc). I'm not sure it is that clear cut, but never had the determination to really study the issue deeply.
In Niebuhr's book "Moral Man and Immoral Society", he basically says (imo) some men can be moral, but larger groups always push their own agenda.
That seems kinda "anti-communist", but it all depends on the application, I suppose. It also seems a bit "anti-Christian", though he is probably speaking about earthly groups, not the actual spiritual church with Christ as the head.

My wife and I have seen that personally. When our daughter divorced her first husband (a total POS that later went to prison for conspiring to cook meth), she was destitute with a little 2 year old girl. She went to the Welfare Office and was told to get pregnant. She was indignant, and replied, "I'm not a looser and I'm not doing that." Needless to say, she never got a penny of Welfare money.
She and our grand-daughter came to live with us for a few years. She later met a great guy, they've raised a great family. My son-in-law raised our grand-daughter as his own.

Two years ago, when we were vacationing in Nashville, Tenn, we walked past a woman that attracted my attention. She was sitting looking very dejected, holding a bottle of water and one leg of her trousers were split at the seam. I gave her $5 and told her that, "Jesus loves you." She began to cry and kissed my hand.
If $5 made such a difference, people with more resources could have an even greater impact. Well, Jesus Christ teaches us that we can either serve Mamon or God, not both.

I have a very similar experience. My daughter was evicted from her apartment because her abusive (soon to be ex-husband) took all their money. Multiple meetings with social workers, the judge was sympathetic, but gosh, can you believe that there is zero money available for rental assistance for battered single moms?
That was literally what they said. She was in an apartment complex that accepted Section 8, but she would have to be made homeless before she could apply and there was a waiting list. So all this money washing around, none of it able to help someone in dire need. Again, all this was extensively documented, and they still shut off the power and evicted her.
Absolutely useless. The only people who tried to help were the religious local charities who of course get slammed because they are the only ones who actually do the things and everyone goes there first.

One notable difference between DO and MD training is that DOs spend an additional 300-500 hours to study pseudoscientific hands-on manipulation of the human musculoskeletal system (osteopathic manipulative technique) alongside conventional evidence-based medicine and surgery like their MD peers.
"evidence-based"? Like, maaaaaskses for woofloo?

J.D.Vance's life is a true tale of rags-to-riches. But, since he's not a Commie, the usual suspects ignore his life story and denigrate it.
The contrast between his up-bringing and that of Zohran Mamdani is intriguing. Mamdani is a true child of privilege, while Vance grew up dirt-poor. Mamdani promotes "Democratic Socialism" (i.e., communism wearing a Smiley Face mask), while Vance promotes free markets and made his fortune in business. Mamdani is a Muslim, while Vance converted to the Roman Catholic Church.
J.D.Vance could have very easily been just another rich guy lecturing the ignorant on how to spend other people's money. I think no clearer example of the spiritual conflict can be seen.

DOs are like Chiropractors with good medical training so they don't have to rely on voodoo.
I knew a great DO. Taught at the local DO college. Was still working into his mid-90s(!).
Dude was amazing. I had frequent back issues due to my job and hauling youngsters in and out of the car. Anywho, he never failed to cure my issues instantly.
Chiropractors never ever were able to do anything.

When the manufacturing plant closes and sends its jobs to Mexico to China, that's not a character flaw of the workers.
This was a deliberate strategy to screw over working class Americans - and the jobs they directly supported. Profits soared, but whole communities were gutted. I've been having conversations locally about what would happen if a new assembly plant was built in this area - the instant increase in prosperity, the knock-on jobs to serve the workers, the boost in revenue and charitable contributions.
Weird how globalization wasn't a natural process but a specific decision that could in fact be reversed, and it was born of an unholy alliance between greedy corporatists and Marxists seeking to build a permanent electorate dependent on handouts.

I don't want to take anything away from your argument, but US labor, energy and regulatory costs are very high inducements to leave.
if you want to find a "singular" agent in moving manufacturing overseas, blame Malcom McLean for bringing in containerized shipping. Absolutely revolutionary and making it economically feasible to outsource manufactured goods to areas on the other side of the globe without the absurd labor, energy and regulatory costs.

Sorry to recall the bad old days, but as an example, both of the DOs I know risked their licenses by treating Covid with remedies they had selected by considering the scientific studies: one used HCQ and the other used ivermectin. Both knew Remdesivir was harmful and wouldn't administer it.
One of these doctors recommended an effective and least harmful treatment for my IBS that I still use as needed, enteric-coated peppermint oil. My MD wanted to put me on lifetime pharmaceuticals that gave me heartburn.
I like DOs.

Always demanding more, delivering less, bitching about everything.

Weird that the same people who think it is wrong to limit executive pay have no problem with "excessive" wages as an excuse to gut whole communities.
Who decides how much is too much? If you can pay slave wages overseas, does that justify you forcing people in a prosperous society to accept a reduction in standard of living?
Why does that only apply to some of the people? What do the rich have to sacrifice, or are they morally better?

TecumsehTea, I also had dumping symptoms as well. I'd head straight to the bathroom after meals and the results looked like I hadn't even chewed my food. My limbs got skinny and my abdomen was bloated. I was really sick, but still not eligible for disability benefits.
Things that helped: enteric-coated peppermint oil, frequent walks, especially after meals, avoiding being seated for long periods, getting the best sleep I could, and changing my job. I just can't do a desk job, so I stick with jobs that are moderately active.

even if the greeks sent q50k rounds along, this is still not a game changer despite the blast radius of a HEC round.
Counter battery fire will take care of some but must will get the ick from 300$ drones which the Russians excel at.
600 howitzer would not be enough to help. 6000 might be a good start.
Better to send a few hundred 50 megaton nukes and just get the world over with.

Yes, our altruistic corporate leaders were forced, FORCED to export jobs to those Mexicans and Chinese, who are known for their strong work ethic, cultural obsession with quality control, and total disdain for safety standards.
Short of becoming China or Mexico, those jobs were always going to go away once there was profit to be found. If blaming the workers helps you rationalize rampant corporate greed, I don't know what to say.

No one cries for the IT people who saw their jobs go overseas to India via the Internet.
The useless creatures that AH Lloyd is worshipping respond to the job loss by sitting idle and drowning their sorrows in alcohol and substance abuse while their dwellings collapse due to neglect.
While out enjoying a few days of PTO before the next big push at work, I stopped off in Washington AR to look at the antebellum state park. A lady volunteering at the candle shop told how she was in IT and Tyson sent her job to India. She started her own business getting small merchants internet marketing exposure, developing eCom sites and helping them build their business.
She can afford now in terms of time and money to do things that she enjoys.

A good amount if it was financialization of the industry, where it was more profitable to finance than to build. This is caused in large part by the USD being the currency for international commerce. Since everyone needs dollars, then they are more valuable, and when that happens it is more expensive to make here than to buy it from overseas.
Second, regulations are often pushed by the big companies to force smaller companies out of competition because the smaller companies can't afford the cost of compliance. Often "the industry" is asked to help write such laws and the big ones have more pull. This reduces the breadth of the manufacturing and services, and often those companies are willing to boost their earnings by outsourcing overseas as well.
financialization is the big thing, it destroys companies and alienates industries, and it turns people who could be part of a company making things into low-grade, interchangeable service employees, and consumers scraping by.

There are some really good blends of probiotics available these days, but it might require some medical help to see what particular blend would be most helpful in your son's case.

Top Story
- AMD has explained that when they said that drivers for their RX 5000 and RX 6000 graphics cards (and integrated graphics with the RDNA 1 and 2 architectures respectively) were entering maintenance mode with only bug fixes to be released and not optimisations for individual games, they didn't mean maintenance mode, they meant maintenance mode. (Tom's Hardware)
Everyone clear on that?
Good.
Long stupid story short, they will still be updating the drivers for related boards and APUs, just not promising to address the quirks of every game that comes along.
Also, the release note saying they were dropping support for the USB-C port on RX 7900 series boards was bullshit. Yes, it's in the official release notes; yes, it's officially bullshit.
The previous generation - the RX 400 and RX 500 series, which were the same thing with different numbers - is still kind of dead but we already knew that. You can still find new-in-box RX 580s but they're starting to dry up now. The XFX models I grabbed early this year are completely gone.
Update: Turns out my supplier found another four of them hiding somewhere. Priced around $100 including sales tax.
Tech News
- Some crazy person has created a version of Windows 7 that fits in just 69MB of disk space. (Tom's Hardware)
Considering that a decent SSD costs about 5c per GB, that's about 0.4c of space.
Also, it isn't actually useful for anything. It runs, but it doesn't run most software without you manually installing a bunch more system files.
- Those videos explaining how to bypass Windows 11's online account requirement during installation that YouTube has been merrily deleting? Blame AI. (The Register)
YouTube hasn't said anything, but when a video is taken down instantly, and an appeal is also rejected instantly, that's AI.
- YouTube was probably too busy to comment on the situation because the people at the top are occupied with laying off the people at the bottom to focus more heavily on the AI that is already destroying the site. (CNBC) (archive site)
Oh, good.
- Testing Highpoint's RocketAIC 7608AW. (Tom's Hardware)
This is a PCIe 5.0 card with a PCIe 5.0 switch chip on board and eight PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots. So it's fast, but it's also very expensive with the bare card priced at $1999.
The fault there seems to be mainly the PCIe 5.0 switch chip. There don't seem to be any products out there at a reasonable price.
The QNAP 4-port M.2 card that I have costs less than $200 on Amazon, but that's PCIe 3.0. Anything more recent will cost you an arm and a leg and a kidney and maybe a cornea.
- Israel demanded Amazon and Google use a secret "wink" code to sidestep legal orders. (The Guardian)
Warrant canaries. What these subliterate fascists are talking about are warrant canaries.
A warrant canary is a thing that appears to be normal until and unless the company receives a warrant with a gag order attached, the reasoning being that while gag orders are still legal, they can't compel you to keep your pet canary singing.
Particularly if they don't know you have a pet canary.
No fault attaches to Israel in this. All the blame attaches to the totalitarian regimes that necessitate this sort of warning mechanism.
And their pet media mouthpieces.
- When Canva bought Affinity in March last year, everyone wondered how long it would take them to fuck up a good and affordable multi-platform product range. It turns out the answer was 19 months. (Ars Technica)
Good news first: The whole Affinity product range is now free, bundled into a single application simply called Affinity.
Not really a problem news: To get the full functionality you need to pay $120 per year for a Canva subscription, but the only function gated behind the paywall right now is AI slop. The free version does everything the three Affinity apps could do before, except...
Problem news: Affinity v3 can read but not write Affinity v2 files. If you use the new app there's no going back, unless you re-export to a third-party format and lose internal history.
It could have been much worse, but they could also not have done this at all.
- A new mathematical proof debunks the idea that the universe is a simulation except it does nothing of the fucking sort. (Phys.org)
"It has been suggested that the universe could be simulated. If such a simulation were possible, the simulated universe could itself give rise to life, which in turn might create its own simulation. This recursive possibility makes it seem highly unlikely that our universe is the original one, rather than a simulation nested within another simulation," says Dr. Faizal. "This idea was once thought to lie beyond the reach of scientific inquiry. However, our recent research has demonstrated that it can, in fact, be scientifically addressed."
No it hasn't.The team demonstrated that even this information-based foundation cannot fully describe reality using computation alone. They used powerful mathematical theorems - including Gödel's incompleteness theorem-to prove that a complete and consistent description of everything requires what they call "non-algorithmic understanding."
Yes, that's cute. But we already have Gödel's incompleteness theorems (there's two of them) and this doesn't seem to tell us anything new at all - just a limit in the ability to determine the truth of certain mathematical statements.
The second problem, though, is that no-one has ever shown that "non-algorithmic understanding" exists, could possibly exist, or has any kind of clear definition.The team's conclusion is clear and marks an important scientific achievement, says Dr. Faizal.
There's just one small problem here: This is completely false.
"Any simulation is inherently algorithmic - it must follow programmed rules," he says.
- Speaking of every game that comes along Escape from Duckov, a combat game involving ducks written by a five-person team in China, has sold two million copies in two weeks, while western titles with budgets in the tens of millions of dollars continue to flounder.
Just a month ago, Megabonk, written by a one-man team, sold a million copies in two weeks... While western titles with budgets in the tens of millions of dollars continued to flounder.
And before that it was Silksong, written by three guys in Australia, selling 6 million copies, and before that it was Schedule 1, written by just one guy in Australia, selling 5 million copies.
It starts to feel like the established video game companies are doing something wrong.
-
Meanwhile Nintendo's patent on capturing monsters and putting them in your pocket, which the company planned to use as a legal bludgeon against Palworld, a game where you capture monsters and put them in your pocket, has been rejected by the Japanese patent office for being "boring and stupid". (MSN)
Actually they just said the patent lacked originality, which of course it fucking does because Nintendo waited thirty years before trying to patent it.

For the past few hours I've had a rapid, intermittent stabbing pain in the left side of my head, just above the ear. It isn't a tick - at least, I don't see one - and I think it might be just some odd muscle twitch, as it hurts when I rub a hand across the area.
So, because of that, I've been up working since about 2.30am. I had hoped it would take my mind off the pain and let it fade away, but no luck. I'm going to wrap up what I have left and take some aspirin to see if it helps; I certainly won't be able to go back to sleep.

Today is day one of our two day gem and mineral show.
Setting up the hall yesterday went swimmingly, due in large measure, I might add, to putting my suggestion into practice of having the rental firm deliver the two lengths of tables in specific quantities near the center of each hall.
All of that arose out of my insistence during last year's takedown that stacking tables at multiple locations around the hall according to their length as they were released by the dealers was to our advantage. "They come and pick these up with a truck, which can go anywhere easily, and trumps the need for us to haul tables long distances to create very few caches," I opined. That and my refusal to load dollies with tables to have them hauled clear across the room. We in the "tote that barge" crowd had finally put down our foot.

The person ringing me up kind of gave me a pointed look at all the meat and junk food, and actually asked me, EBT card? I felt embarrassed, like I'd done something wrong. It's amazing, and a little sad, that you see a certain kind of cart, though, and it instantly stereotypes you as "oh she's an EBT user." It shouldn't have a stereotype, but it does!

My favorite Halloween memory was the year after I graduated college. Living in a rundown row house with a couple friends, I got really excited and bought several bags of candy. But our outdoor light was broken, so that + the shady environs meant no one showed for hours.
I was very disappointed.
As my roommates and I were drinking before the party we were going to, around 9 pm some brave kid and his brave dad knocked, at which point I ran to the door, flung it open, and handed him the CVS bag containing 3 large bags of candy.
I will never forget that kid’s eyes, like giant moons, or his dad’s, looking at me like “What the hell are you doing”
God bless them both. I love Halloween.

As a kid, I was taking my little brother and sister around. Stopped at a house and rang the bell. Guy answered and said, "OMG, is it Halloween?" Handed us each $20, closed the door, and turned of his porch light. That was mid-70s so it was a fuck-ton of money.

There are only a handful of live TV streamers to choose from.
Hulu Live TV - Disney is planning on folding Hulu inside Disney+, so who knows if Live TV will make it? Maybe they”ll call it Disney+ Live TV and keep it going.
Sling TV - Has all the basic channels but you have to get the blue & orange plans to get them all, and no live local stations like Hulu & YouTube have.
Philo TV - Cheaper ($28/month) but not as many channels (83 total), and no news, sports or local channels.
Fubo - Mainly focused on sports channels.
Frndly TV - $8.99/month for 43 channels.
Most have some kind of cloud DVR feature.
Philo is probably the best if you don’t watch much news or sports. Fubo if you really like sports. Frndly if you want some basic channels and that’s it. YouTube TV or Hulu Live TV if you want the closest thing to cable/satellite without the cord or dish.
I looked into all of them a few months ago to get out from under Dish. I was thinking YT TV, but they don’t carry A&E networks, no History Channel so no bueno.

That's an algorithm programmed to do what it's programmers want it to do, autonomously, but since we're dumbing down what is called "AI," sure.

For decades now, when trying to provide a materialistic template to explain God's Creation, the Great Simulation is a wonderful means to comprehend the concept of being omniscient, omnipresent, able to alter time and space (aka miracles), to transcend time (time travel and locality are not simultaneously possible) to know the future and know all the things simultaneously happening.
It would take an infinite mind because of all the things going on. It would also require establishing the rules and orders, the constants of the algorithm.
How God could simultaneously run the simulation and be fully part of the simulation. (to be fully God and fully man during the Incarnation) breaks my mind.

The propaganda machines have been running full tilt to generate sympathy for the land whales on the mobility scooter who have chronic metabolic dysfunction due to their SNAP dependencies.
Its like people don't know what any of the letters of SNAP stand for:
• Supplemental
• Nutritional
• Assistance
The way the narrative treats SNAP, its critical, it clearly isn't focused on nutrition and "assistance" is not a synonyn for "dependent".

I think AI has devolved into a generic sound/"word" that means "the computer did it without direct human supervision" or for those on the left side of the bell curve: "magic".
In any case, it is an ersatz Svengali Effect, a mastermind gets a minion to do the wet work so the mastermind is not held legally culpable.

The EBT is ghetto Bitcoin. EBT credits are often traded for drugs, alcohol, weaves, tatts, sex, etc.
There are miners who have dozens of active EBT accounts and have traded in their winnings into expensive European cars and luxury handbags.
While YT may be banning work-arounds for account-less Windows 11 installs, the "algorithm" still lets tutorials persist on how to game the FedGov Entitlement Scams into a flourishing pseudo-crypto business.

I hope this isn’t what I’ll have to deal with.
I just got one of those printers in September.
I don’t use it every day but it’s working fine so far.
Some tips on inkjet printers, though.
Print something, anything, out at least once every few weeks to keep the heads from clogging.
Invest in a printer cover that will fit your printer.
I found one on Amazon that slips right over my Epson for like $10.
Dust and disuse are the mortal enemies of inkjet printers.

I just got one of those printers in September.
I've had this one for more than a year, and this is the first time I had to clean the heads.
Word of warning: when you get refill ink - use as much as you need to refill the tanks then throw the bottles away. Don't try saving the bottles for a second refill. Exposure to the air that replaces the drained ink will turn the ink into a goo that will clog up the print head and feed lines, ruining the printer. Don't ask how I found that out.

it's a physics simulation
that's why it has physics, which you can go outside and test yourself
this makes absolutely zero difference to anyone living inside it and does not imply, in any way, the existence of a "simulator" or anything else outside of itself
furthermore, Bell's Inequality already proves there are no hidden variables hidden at the bottom, and MWI has shown all the quantum outcomes really happen, so it really makes no difference
all that said, the universe does seem to have some interesting limits on computation (the limits imposed by too many Higgs field calculation in too small a space or time, i.e. time dilation)
but keep in mind, time is just an increase in entropy, and there's no evidence the universe actually experiences anything like time per se... we started at the lowest possible entropy (Big Bang) and end at the highest (heat death) but that's really just an artifact of the fact we can only measure "time" via entropy
otoh if QMM is right and all information is preserved then the Tipler cylinders really are going to be built

Posted by: Bullshit! at November 01, 2025 10:49 AM (C4nCF)
as there's no reason to think those calculations ever happen more than once, there are no other "times" that exist to go to
but if Tipler was right, the information necessary to resurrect the dead is encoded in the fabric of the universe and it's just a question of cost

Our neighbor from across the street came over and sat on our porch and helped hand out candy with us - it was a lot of fun to hang out together and ooh and ahh over all of the cute kiddos in their costumes 🧙♀️🎃
This year we put some "fairy wands" out in the yard so that everyone could see to get up on our porch. They worked out so well that we decided that next year we might hand those out in addition to candy so that everyone can see the trick-or-treaters and vice versa (our neighborhood streets are pretty dark at night).
We gave some out with swag bags at our anniversary party, and they were a huge hit with our younger guests 😊♥️

First, the (D)s have contempt for their own base, and they're not entirely wrong, but they're sociopaths in a bubble. They really don't have an accurate view. I think that they think that if the (R)s nuke the filibuster, they can call it "violating the Minority's rights" and their base will hear RAAAAACISM. But through end of business Monday, that is completely defanged and Uno-Reversed if folks hear that (R)s got them their EBT over (D) objections.
Second, (D)s will cave on Wednesday, or maybe as early as Tuesday, and then claim that they finally got the (R)s to do the right thing. And the blatant inversive lie will work on dummies, so there is a very short window to pre-empt it.

That is engineer thinking. I'm talking about the affect on political fortunes, not the flow of electrons through the circuits. And giving people relief from a personal crisis is absolutely massive. You are literally making a category error.
Also, I'm speaking of a targeted nuke of just cloture for continuing budget resolutions. For a general nuke, I would want to see the House first passing a massive flotilla of bills on every subject under the sun, for every MAGA and MAHA base priority ever conceived. But that's not what I'm talking about.

To each their own. I am not fond of licorice but I do like aguardiente. If you mix it with cold water the anise oils turn milky.
I will soak anise and star anise in cheap white rum, but I really don't drink enough to keep in around.

And they keep coming back and leaving cards and stuff on our porch. Normally you tell them once that your Catholic and they never come back. Not these folk.

I hear them multiple times daily when I'm home, and when I don't hear them, one of the neighbor dogs makes sure I know (he howls at them).

Had a couple of Jehovahs Ws come to my door, and one said he really liked my T-shirt...
Yeah... uh... it's Fenris... the Wolf that will Kill Odin during Ragnarök.

"Put a gargoyle statue by your front door." said a guy I worked with, after I'd mentioned being visited by JWs.
Apparently, his wife had placed some garden statue-- a gargoyle with gazing ball (popular in the 90's)-- near their entry & the JWs just stopped coming to their house.
"If only we had known! Took a while to realize that must have been what did it."

We've had so many problems with the Census People this year. It for some stupid survey they do in the off years from the actual Census.
They are sneaky too. They'll leave a leaflet in between the storm door and the front door than the assholes wait down the street watching to see if you open the door to get the leaflet.
We always keep the storm door locked now.
Oh, then they started texting and calling us and we never gave them our telephone numbers. It was a nightmare for about 5 months.

So, YoutubeTV (Google) and Disney are having a tiff over $$$. Both corporations are evil and deserve a smiting, but that won't happen. Not yet, anyway. That means no ESPN or ABC on YoutubeTV until the sniping stops. Thankfully, most of my college football teams I follow, suck. Pitt and Virginia are doing alright. VTech, WVU, and Penn State aren't. I watch mostly racing and golf anyway.

She got Musk to knock her up with space babies. And then, in Musk general fashion, he got bored and dumped her, she got jealous, there's some sort of legal thing going on.
Nobody looked good, the crew she was hanging out with, including babylon bee and for some time turning point, weren't great in this, somehow involved in setting them up.
She should have known Musk was a 55yo peterpan dipshit that wasn't going to sweep her off her feet to live happily ever after. She was young but not that young.
Musk making a big deal about how she wasn't as young as he wanted. Dude, you sick ai gooning mfer.

Did twelve hours of Scary Count Miklos today. First part was at Walmart, part of the script I was given was about "you can buy still candy on SNAP today, last day"
Or "Ultima Dia" in the Spanish script, which was about 75%.
I was encouraged to be "scary" so I started with Hola! Count Miklos Immigra de CBP!"

I have a much better Hungarian Count outfit, don't wear it for work, because the temp agency does not pay for dry cleaning.
So the temp agency sent me to some bars and clubs. Hourly rate the same, but they buy you drinks.
Anyway, I insisted on being paid hourly by Venmo, money to Eyegore to stock the bar back at the ruined castle and start the Gulyas.
Now back at the castle, fire in the large fireplace. Changed out of that polyester crap into my favorite silk smoking jacket. Brushed teeth/fangs.
Now we await the cute chicks in the Slutty Vampire costumes. Slutty Nurses etc. are quite welcome.
Eyegore gets the best chicks. Girls like guys with the "hump" thing going.

She only made them at Christmas because they were so difficult.
Other than delicious, they had to be made up and baked a bit then taken out and allowed to rise, then baked to finish.
Almost ivory color with a thin crust about an inch or so high. Looked like two pieces the base cookie shaped with a dome.
She took the recipe with her.

"[He] broke loose upon [his victim] like a thunderclap. Oaths rolled from his lips in a continuous stream. And they were not namby-pamby oaths, or mere expressions of indecency. Each word was a blasphemy, and there were many words. They crisped and crackled like electric sparks. I had never heard anything like it in my life, nor could I have conceived it possible. With a turn for literary expression myself, and a penchant for forcible figures and phrases, I appreciated, as no other listener, I dare say, the peculiar vividness and strength and absolute blasphemy of his metaphors. ...
I was shocked. Oaths and vile language of any sort had always been repellent to me. I felt a wilting sensation, a sinking at the heart, and, I might just as well say, a giddiness ... While I appreciated the power of the terrific denunciation that swept of [the coprolalian's] mouth, I was inexpressibly shocked, The scorching torrent was enough to wither the face of [its victim.] I should have not been surprised if his beard had frizzled and curled and flared up in smoke and flame."

I had to replace the heater/AC control panel this year. I took a chance and bought a used one online for $90. I couldn't figure out how to get the old one out, even with the new tools they told me to use, so I took it to my regular mechanic to put in, and they graciously charged only $100.
They hesitated at first, because the wiring harness behind the panel is a bit charred. I said, well, we're this close, so shoot the moon, and got lucky.
Dealership would have charged me probably $1500 for that job.

It was bad. You do one pair, another waits and then moves in. It's like they wanted me just to stand there, serving them one after the other. Some of the loons didn't even have their bags out, like I have time to wait for them fumbling with their gear.
But we're good. It was almost pistol time, but they ran out of bodies.

Mrs B went to a wedding with her friend tonight. Halloween themed. She had to wear a costume. She holds up 3 costumes. One was a cheerleader, not bad since she was one in high school. The second was a ballet chick, also not bad since she did that for years. The 3rd was a witch. I said well, you would make a good witch. She looked me. I followed up quick with " well you were never a witch before". She says "nice save". At that point I'm glad I didn't add that it was a bit more age appropriate. lol
She did actually look good as a witch. She had a cool choker necklace with little bats, the dress was kinda Elvira like, and wore her black harley boots.

I think Glenn Reynolds (and certainly Ed Driscoll) are still dreaming of "Big Tent" conservatism, which is why NeverTrumpers get linked so often - although they're usually cagey about it; they'll go back 8 or 10 years to find a quote from, say, Jonah Goldberg that is consistent with garden variety conservatism (the same with Kevin Williamsom and others of that stamp). The problem is, the only interest the NeverTrumpers have in a big tent is to get in out of the rain occasionally and mooch the BBQ.

Actually there's no joke.
"Flow" is about a sheltered teenager Dara Lund (hey, swedish name, might this be a self-insert...) who gets that first titular flow in a summer camp, and is of course bullied by girls who should know better, because girls are evil. They convince Dara she is cursed so get her to do humiliating rituals.
Now all the girls are grown up and are experiencing supernatural curses of their own.
Apparently Stephen King (who is an asshole) knew what he was talking about with Carrie and that is why women are still taking it seriously.

Pamelyn Ferdin played his daughter and she hated it. Worse was that she had to be replaced as Edna Unger on The Odd Couple, a job she really loved. Both Klugman and Randall treated her like a niece.
Lynde never called her anything but "kid" and she didn't like him as he as always cranky.
One minute quips on Hollywood Squares or pop-in as Uncle Arthur, Lynde was bearable, sustaining a series-NO!!

I've never understood the hype around Heinlein. I read Starship Troopers. It was...fine. OK. Not fantastic. I've read several other books of his and felt the same way. He's a good writer, but not top tier science fiction, IMHO (which is probably wrong, but whatever).

I was thinking Romeo13 was doing a little tongue-in-cheek there.
Whatever Verhoeven's intentions, imagine the movie really happened to us. Wouldn't it be GREAT if humanity really could be as nobly motivated and organized and united as the "satire" movie depicts? It shows the best of the best for us to laff at, but you can react to it positively too.

Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed. Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter.
I am hereby making Nigeria a "COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN" — But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like is happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done!
I am asking Congressman Riley Moore, together with Chairman Tom Cole and the House Appropriations Committee, to immediately look into this matter, and report back to me.
The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!

I did a search on her when people first started going gaga over her. Yeah, there are some pics of her that are not that good, and her face is weird. But, there are other pics that look really good. With her it seems to depend on makeup, expression, and angle of the pictures. She doesn't have much makeup on in a lot of the pics, and she still can look good. Its a mixed bag, but she is not ugly by any stretch of the imagination.

Well, Ace, according to the Internet: Twix was invented in 1967 in the United Kingdom by Mars, Inc.. It was initially sold under the name "Raider" in the UK and other European countries before being introduced to the United States in 1979 and renamed Twix.

*This is a concise, values-driven leadership mantra rather than a traditional mission statement. It’s written in the first person, all-caps for emphasis, and uses the word “BECAUSE” as a hinge to connect vision (boardroom elevation) with rationale (strategic integration) and secondary focus (next-gen leaders). It signals an executive who sees resilience not as a buzzword but as a strategic capability that must be governed from the top.
Most execs talk about resilience; this one talks governance of resilience. Positions speaker as strategic translator between board and middle management."

Objective surface beauty is something for art. Actually beauty goes a lot deeper.
The most beautiful face can cover the nastiest person you've ever met. Eventually, it shows.
Youth fades, for both men and women, but I still think DH is the most handsome person I have ever met. He's gone gray, gained weight, farts a lot, and long ago abandoned the mullet (thank heaven), but I think he is positively adorable, so I adore him.
YMMV.

"Love didn’t just happen to us. We built it slowly over the years, stone by stone, for you, for your brothers and sisters, for all of us. It is not as exciting as secret passion in the woods, but it is stronger. It lasts longer,”
I've been head over heals in love, for 10 years. Moments of pure bliss, moments of debilitating pain. It was wonderful but unhealthy. I have felt the full power of Aphrodite and she is no sexualized bimbo. I'm lucky to have experienced that but it wasn't sustainable. Better a cozy winter blanket than sexy lingerie.

The Week In Woke
UK Glamour has chosen its "Women" of the Year.
Nine transgenders, Bigots!
The Department of Justice has reportedly launched an investigation into whether the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation misused millions of dollars in donations collected during the 2020 George Floyd protests. According to the Associated Press, federal agents have issued subpoenas and executed at least one search warrant as part of the probe, which is being run out of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. Sources familiar with the matter told the AP that the inquiry began under the Biden administration but has recently gained new momentum under President Trump. The Justice Department has declined to comment publicly, but the investigation centers on allegations that BLM defrauded donors who contributed during the nationwide unrest following Floyd's death in Minneapolis. The Black Lives Matter Foundation raised more than $90 million in the months after Floyd's death, when cities across the country were rocked by protests that in many cases turned violent, resulting in deaths, fires, looting, and widespread property destruction. Critics of the organization have long accused its leadership of withholding information about how those funds were spent.
Remember when CBS morning show host Tony Dokoupils interviewed racist radical Ta-Nehisi Coates about his pro-Hamas screed against Israel (and Jews)? He pushed back against Coates, which is, you know, illegal. All media personnel are required to pretend that this low-IQ racist's every stupid statement is received wisdom from God Herself. Dokoupils was forced to attend a struggle session by CBS. He probably would have been fired or suspended, save for the fact that Paramount's owner at the time, Shari Redstone, is Jewish and thought he acted like an actual journalist.
I bring that up as background to the new news: The "Race and Culture Unit" that Bari Weiss fired en masse (save for a single guy) was the group conducting that Struggle Session. They attacked Dokoupils for challenging Coates, and even faulted him for his... "tone and posture."
During the interview, Dokoupil asked some pointed questions to Coates about the book, including "Why leave out that Israel is surrounded by countries that want to eliminate it?" He also told Coates: "I have to say, when I read the book, I imagine if I took your name out of it, took away the awards, the acclaim ... the content of that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist." After the interview, CBS News executives fielded complaints from staffers and then held a meeting on the unfortunate date of Oct. 7, the one-year anniversary of Hamas' attack on Israel. At meeting, CBS News CEO and her number two, Adrienne Roark, called out Dokoupil, who is Jewish, for the interview, saying it did not meet the network's editiorial standards. Those words were questioned internally by supporters of Dokoupil at the meeting, as well as by Shari Redstone, the chair of CBS-parent Paramount Global, who backed the anchor, saying he had done a "great job" with the interview. Redstone added that CBS made a "mistake" in reprimanding Dokoupil and in saying it did not meet their standards. Paramount co-CEO George Cheeks rushed to the defense of McMahon, backing her decision, while also saying the company needs to have "substantive dialogue" about perceptions of bias and "inconsistent treatment."
Moms for Liberty activist defeats a defamation suit after calling a DEI employee a "woke white savior" with a "god complex." As you know, truth is a defense in defamation. Though that's not why the case was thrown out. To defame someone, you have to make a factual claim about them which is derogatory and untrue. Opinion doesn't count. Note that leftwing judges routinely claim that factual claims that liberals make about conservatives -- like that Nick Sandmann approached and bullied the "Native American elder" -- are just "opinion," while they simultaneously argue that clear statements of opinion by conservatives, like that someone is "woke," are factual and thus defamatory. In this case, the left-wing censorious judges claimed that her speech was so "hyperbolic" that it somehow transmuted opinion into fact.
I can personally attest that conservatives accused of defamation will be destroyed by any left-wing judge hearing their case.
A Moms for Liberty activist in Wisconsin described a onetime "social justice coordinator" in the local high school as a "white savior" and "woke" woman with a "god complex." She said the employee is emblematic of diversity, equity and inclusion specialists who earn more than the district's teachers, "woke lunatics ... bullying you into silence and compliance," and should "forfeit her job to a person of color" if she "really wants to promote equity." Scarlett Johnson spent nearly 1,100 days defending herself against a defamation suit by the coordinator, Mary MacCudden, before a divided state appeals court cleared her name this week, overturning a lower court that said a jury should consider whether Johnson's hyperbolic language implied factual assertions about MacCudden. The duration of the litigation shows the ongoing legal and financial peril for parental rights activists who criticize government employees using language typical of conservatives against those they consider progressive, authoritarian and hypocritical.
But the process is the punishment, as I can also attest. Canada's top general, everybody. She literally cries about "structural racism." The University of California system -- taxpayer supported -- now employs a test to determine if you can even enroll in the school. A quiz asks you what pronouns you should use to refer to a transgender, and if you don't say whatever fake pronouns the transgender wants you to use, you're scolded for "harrassment" and blocked from registering.
"The defamation lawsuit against her was meritless and should have been promptly dismissed," Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty deputy counsel Luke Berg, whose group represented Johnson on appeal, said in announcing Tuesday's verdict, three years to the day after MacCudden filed the complaint in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
Read this. A woke Fairfax County, VA prosecutor appears to have deliberately engineered a constitutional violation to set free a repeat sexual felon who accosted a "heavily pregnant" mom and her daughter in a women's bathroom.
When I finally took the stand, the attorney for the Commonwealth asked me if the man who was in the bathroom that day was in the room. I paused, confused--because I knew what was going to happen next. The courtroom had been packed all day but as case after case was handled, ours was the last one--now it was just the judge, court reporter, bailiff, the defendant, his lawyer, the Commonwealth attorney, and I. The arresting officer wasn't in the room. The other victim and her husband had been given a new court date and sent home. I adjusted my baby against my chest and looked at her as she repeated the question: Do you see the man you reported to police in this room today? Why was she doing this? What was she doing? I was sweating in my oversized cashmere nursing sweater and I felt prickles down my back. Everyone was staring at me. I'm not a lawyer. She asked me a question... and she was "on my side" so I should answer it, right? I adjusted my baby again to give myself a free hand--and I pointed to him. And just as I expected, his lawyer immediately pointed out there was nobody else present in the courtroom who it could be and therefore we had violated his constitutional right to due process. The judge agreed. Hell, *I* agreed--but then I asked WHY hadn't the Commonwealth given me a photo array to choose from? Why did she ASK that? Too late. It didn't matter that he was on surveillance footage entering the bathroom before us and pushing past us as we fled. He was set free. As I walked out of the court room the arresting officer spotted me from down the hall and ran over to me "Is it back in this courtroom? Is it starting?" No, I told him, it's already over. He had been sent to another courtroom "by mistake." He didn't even get a chance to testify. He looked horrified. The Commonwealth attorney and "victims advocate" that morning assured us they were going to fight for us. They were SO SORRY this had happened to us. They were SO GRATEFUL that I had come to testify in my condition. Instead they seemingly intentionally let the monster walk free. It's been two years. Yesterday he was released on bail for yet another crime--one of at least THIRTEEN he's committed since that day in court--including sexual abuse of a child under 15. His arrest record from just the last 5 years spans four pages on the Virginia court website. Look at how many women--and CHILDREN--he's victimized since that day. Look how many times his victims have gone to court just as I did only to see him set free again and again and again. This is NOT happening by accident. This is deliberate.More here. The guy is constantly sexually assaulting women and masturbating in public and flashing women. Steve Descano, the prosecutor who keeps setting him free is, get this, a Soros prosecutor.

A black principal was suspended (or fired, they won't say) from a Dallas-area high school for taking black students aside and telling them that they're the reason the school is getting mediocre ratings from the accreditation boards. You're not allowed to say this. You're allowed to scold white children for things they never did, like owning slaves, but you're not allowed to take black students aside and tell them they're bringing the school's averages down.
In a letter Monday to parents and teachers at Woodrow Wilson High School, Dallas ISD officials named an interim principal and said they are investigating a "recent incident" at the campus. The letter comes after Principal Chandra Hooper-Barnett held a meeting with the school's Black students about their academic performance, two parents told The Dallas Morning News. Hooper-Barnett acknowledged she held a meeting during an advisory period last week that "caused concern within our school community," according to a letter she sent to families Monday. "The decision to hold that meeting and subsequent discussion that transpired was not appropriate. I take full ownership and responsibility for what occurred, and I want to assure you that it was never my intent to single out or cause harm to any group of students," Hooper-Barnett wrote. In the letter, she said she is "committed to learning from this and rebuilding the trust that has been shaken." Woodrow Wilson, located in East Dallas, served nearly 2,000 students last school year, per state data. Black students made up 6% of the campus population in the 2023-24 school year. The school received a B in this year's academic accountability ratings. Neither letter addressed the status of Hooper-Barnett, who has led the school for three years. Danielle Petters -- who served as principal of J.L. Long Middle School for seven years and H. Grady Spruce High School for four -- will serve as interim principal of the campus, according to a letter from Aaron Aguirre-Castillo, executive director of Dallas ISD's Woodrow Wilson vertical team. In her letter, Hooper-Barnett said she would "do what is best for our campus, even if that means stepping aside to allow for healing and growth."Speaking of grades: A Harvard report faulted professors for giving 60% of students "A's" in their classes, stating that the grading system no longer served the purpose of distinguishing between students in terms of achievement. Harvard students are crying about it.
Steve McGuire
@sfmcguire79 Harvard reports that it is "failing to perform the key functions of grading." Its grading practices are "damaging the academic culture of the College." "Faculty newly arrived at Harvard are surprised at how leniently our courses are graded." Students say academics feel "fake."
Jack Mac
@JackMacCFB Harvard just released a fascinating study that shows they've made their school too easy. They've been giving out too many A's and passing too many students. In 2005, 25% of grades were A's. In 2025? 60%!!!! How did this happen? They forced their professors to adjust to "less prepared students" and those with "imposter syndrome" or other forms of stress. Everything is fake...including grades at Harvard.
Steve McGuire
@sfmcguire79 13h
These Har
vard students...did not react well to the report on grade inflation: "The whole entire day, I was crying. I skipped classes on Monday, and I was just sobbing in bed because I felt like I try so hard in my classes, and my grades aren't even the best. It just felt soul-crushing." "What makes a Harvard student a Harvard student is their engagement in extracurriculars. Now we have to throw that all away and pursue just academics. I believe that attacks the very notion of what Harvard is." "I can't reach my maximum level of enjoyment just learning the material because I'm so anxious about the midterm, so anxious about the papers, and because I know it's so harshly graded. If that standard is raised even more, it's unrealistic to assume that people will enjoy their classes."
It’s not just Harvard, and grades are going up while academic ability is going down.

These weeping moms have one thing in common. All got their pre-teen kids phones thinking it was for their safety, so as to have an electronic leash. A tether.
Any smart mom, and none of the examples were, would be smart enough to take away their kids devices that can connect to the toobs, the moment their behavior became suspect. Not one second later.
They are and were stupid, and now they grieve their dead little morons. And don't know why. They blame the AI bot, and are hoping for big settlements.

So far...holding the moral line brings them back. Spouse's sister told his parents they were the worst who ever lived and left in her early 20s.

Its not you, its society that does this. I see it so many times. Good families who do everything right and the kids just go off the rails. My cousins kid was a normal dude, republican, smart, from a great family. Went to college, now wears a fucking dress and adopted a female name fit for a pole dancer. He showed up at a party recently for his 90 year old grandmother dressed like a woman. My brother, for the very few here that met him, walks up to him, sticks out his hand and says 'sup dude. lol

I firmly believe--and I've told her---that she's the reason I lived, because I was not going to die while she was angry. Period. I would not leave her that to live with.
Ten years later she was wonderful. And is.
When I talk to people with girls in that age range, I don't even ask how horrible it is. I just say, you can't believe how much better it's going to get.

Yep, and it was true. Those who made it to senior year were like a grizzled squad of veterans. We tended to consult on classes because it was openly stated that one person alone could not do all the readings - it was expected that people were to form a group, distribute them and then give summary reports.

I we had a birthday dinner with my daughter and sra blaster kept trying to say him and instead kept saying her and it was even worse.
I decided then and there that I would not play the pronoun game or use another name.
She claims she started living as a man when she was 15. The school participated in the cover up as did her mother.
She's twenty now and revealed her transition before last Christmas. THAT was a holiday party let me tell you!
Maybe she will realize the truth later.

When I was in college there was a battle for As and Bs because there would always be a defined small % that were allowed to get As Bs. I wasn't competitive. There was this one gal, from Greece, incredibly attractive, and a lowkey genius. Straight As, but she earned them the vertical way.
Only a few times she would ask to study with me because I did well on the homework when everyone else didn't. Didn't happen often because I'm dumb. We'd be going over homework and I realized, because for a brief moment gazed into her eyes, that she was an IQ vampire! I knew she would go into that next test and ace it now and I would just stumble and that's exactly what happened!
Really she was just super smart and whatever she wanted, she would go and take it. I was a little in awe. I assume she's running a multibillion $$$ international crime ring now or something.

The boy started calling himself by another name. He thought I should do so as well. I told him that I named him, I was satisfied with it, and so should he be.
He also yelled at me that he was gay. Couldn't be further from the truth, but you know, he thought it would prove that I was a horrible, intolerant parent. Told him I couldn't care less. He got over it.
Kids like to poke the bear. They like to feel put upon, for some reason. That doesn't give them license to treat the parents badly. Don't let 'em, and mostly it will come out right.

Out of the blue one day I thought of him and looked him up on LinkedIn. He’s an accountant for a big 4 firm. Good job and money and all. but I expected someone on that level to be an Sr VP at Google or something. Or start his own Google.

That fucking sucks. Wish I had some words of wisdom for you. I guess all you can really do is let her know you love her but hold your ground on reality and leave the door open, metaphorically speaking. Having seen some other family rifts up close it will probably be unproductive for you to go running after her - it will likely be unreciprocated and make her dig in harder. You know her better than I do obviously but that's the kind of thing I've seen in other family craterings.

33 Chat GPT says this about Harvard students receiving A's in classes in 1990:
"One source indicates that in 1966, about 22 % of all grades awarded were in the “A” range; by 1996 that had risen to about 46 %"
"Another piece of data: In a 2006 article, it was noted that A grades accounted for ~23.7 % of all grades in one recent year (1999-2000) at Harvard."

But even back then Harvard graded high. They justified by saying these were all really smart kids.
In the school I went to, a top 10% GPA in the hardest engineering major was under 3.
I took many classes where the dean had determined the curve would force 70% of students to retake or switch majors (only 30% got C or above.)
And yet 10 years into my career I managed all the stupid harvard fucks who thought they were smart cause the got all A as Haaaavad.

You can be super smart but lack the characteristics needed to climb high on the corporate ladder or to be a successful entrepreneur. If you don't have the necessary extroversion and ruthlessness you won't get far in corporate promotion, and if you don't have extremely high risk tolerance and ability to operate with no external structure then you won't make it as an entrepreneur.

"Rising Democrat Star" Arrested for Covertly Filming Two Political Opponents Having Sex to Blackmail Them
This is the Democrat-Antifa-Media Party.
A Maryland state senator once seen as a rising Democrat star is facing explosive allegations that she conspired to secretly record and blackmail her political critics. Federal prosecutors have charged State Sen. Dalya Attar, her brother Joseph "Yossi" Attar, and Baltimore Police Officer Kalman Finkelstein with conspiracy, extortion, illegal wiretapping, and violations of the Travel Act -- a slate of federal offenses that could bring decades in prison if convicted. According to a newly unsealed 20-page federal indictment, Attar and her co-defendants allegedly set up hidden cameras disguised as smoke detectors inside an apartment belonging to two of Attar's critics -- one of them a former campaign consultant who had worked on her 2018 campaign but later supported her political rivals. The second target was reportedly in a romantic relationship with the consultant and married to someone else at the time. Prosecutors say the trio not only filmed the pair in bed together but used the footage to intimidate them into silence. Investigators claim the covert operation was designed to protect Attar's political standing as she eyed re-election and higher office. WhatsApp messages cited in the indictment suggest the senator herself discussed the scheme and its potential leverage. "We have a very easy ... simple way to get her to just shut up and leave us alone," Attar allegedly wrote in one message. "She's worried about her kids' shidduchim." In another message, she added, "I'm not saying we leak this anywhere or ever do that ... but I'm saying we warn her ... 'If you go ahead and screw with me, we're going to leak it.'" The intimidation campaign allegedly escalated in December 2021, when Joseph Attar met one of the victims at a Baltimore shopping center and issued a chilling threat: "I have hours of footage of you in bed with [Victim 1] ... Go to [Victim 1] and say leave Dalya alone ... or I'll share this video with everyone you know -- every Rabbi in town, your kids, your wife, her daughters." Federal prosecutors say the threats continued into 2022 as Attar's team sought to keep both victims quiet ahead of her re-election effort. To cover their tracks, the indictment alleges, the defendants coordinated through encrypted WhatsApp messages and routinely deleted their communications. Attar, a Democrat and former Baltimore prosecutor, was first elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2018 and appointed to the state Senate in January 2025. She had been viewed as an emerging figure within Maryland's Orthodox Jewish community, where she built a reputation as a tough prosecutor and vocal progressive on local issues.Bonus: Kamala Harris shares the heart-breaking moment when she learned she had lost the presidential race. She said there were 200,000 votes she needed to win that her campaign manager "couldn't find." She uses the same word -- "find" -- that Fatty Fanny Funstuff claimed proved a criminal intent to order Georgia's election officials to fake the vote. Seems like it's a normal bit of campaign jargon.
Kamala says she thought she was going to win, and went into a “state of shock” on election night when she realized she was done.

* Firefighters alerted a battalion chief that areas of a New Year's Day fire in Pacific Palisades, known as the Lachman fire, were still smoldering the next day, according to text messages. * The firefighters were ordered to pack up and leave anyway, instead of monitoring the burn area for reignitions. * Federal authorities say the blaze reignited on Jan. 7, destroying thousands of homes and killing 12 people. Firefighters mopping up a small brush fire that authorities say reignited as the Palisades fire five days later were ordered to leave the original burn scene even though they complained the ground was still smoldering and rocks remained hot to the touch, according to firefighter text messages reviewed by The Times.As we ask every single day: If they were doing this all deliberately, how would their actions look any different?
To the firefighters' surprise, their battalion chief ordered them to roll up their hoses and pull out of the area on Jan. 2 -- the day after the 8-acre blaze was declared contained -- rather than stay and make sure there were no hidden embers that could spark a new fire, the text messages said. On the morning of Jan. 7, according to federal authorities, strong winds stoked the remnants of the New Year's Day blaze into the firestorm that killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes in Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Topanga.
In one text message, a firefighter who was at the scene on Jan. 2 wrote that the battalion chief had been told it was a "bad idea" to leave the burn scar unprotected because of the visible signs of smoldering terrain. "And the rest is history," the firefighter wrote in recent weeks.

They were planning on doing a repeat of 2020, but the 2024 election wasn't close enough to steal.
Remember, Kamala's undelivered Election Night speech said that the election was very close, and that it was going to take days and days to count the votes, and that no one should assume who the winner was until all the votes had been counted.

AOC is "meh" in looks. She's not ugly, but she's not "hot", nor "hawt". And her physical measurements have never been what some in this forum seem to be so fond over. Using the scale of "Pick a number between 1 and 10 and you can't say 7", she's a 6 simply because she can't be an 8--there's just nothing "there...there" to throw her out of the 6's and launch her up into the 8's.

Wikipedia:
Attar was born fourth of six children to an Iranian-Jewish father and a Moroccan-Jewish mother.[1] She was raised as a Sephardi Orthodox Jew in Baltimore,[2] where she attended the Bais Yaakov School for Girls.[3] Attar later graduated from the University of Baltimore, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in criminal justice in 2011, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore, where she earned her Juris Doctor degree in 2014.[4]
While attending the University of Baltimore, Attar worked as a paralegal for Greenspan, Hitzel & Schrader until 2015, when she became a trial attorney for the firm.[5] In the same year, she also began working as an assistant state's attorney in the Baltimore State's Attorney office, prosecuting narcotics and firearms cases.

Interesting indeed. It probably wouldn't look very different because doing the maximum amount of harm seems to be the aim. It doesn't make a lot of sense but it's all they do so at some point you just have to accept that it's their raison d'etat.

Another perspective (I am not sure which way I lean) is that civilization is a very fragile thing. It is like a complex machine that requires 70 or 80% of society to all act in controlled and positive ways. Any small deviation from the prescribed boundaries is OK until they build up past that limit and then it all turns to shit.

This is my inclination too. I have not checked the emails closely, but there are always complications.
When this first got revealed a few weeks ago, I asked about thermal monitoring. Well now they are saying their IR sensors only detect about a foot deep, (Which I am sure is deep enough but they claim no.) and that makes me think that maybe they did not even bother checking.
Also drones with IR, or satellite services. ...
I said back then that in Japan the firemen drive around town on windy days telling people to mind their cooking stoves. Really they are just looking for fires to detect them as early as possible. LA has other ideas.

AOC is "meh" in looks. She's not ugly, but she's not "hot", nor "hawt". And her physical measurements have never been what some in this forum seem to be so fond over. Using the scale of "Pick a number between 1 and 10 and you can't say 7", she's a 6 simply because she can't be an 8--there's just nothing "there...there" to throw her out of the 6's and launch her up into the 8's.

Me? I set up a table out at the road (my driveway is 1/4 mile long through the woods). Years back I bought one of those tire store dancing characters (where you run a fan underneath and it dances). I dressed it up like a witch and really is quite disturbing when it dances. I have black lights in the woods, and an old boombox playing a Halloween tape (which I go out and switch sides sporadically). Table is all lit up with plastic pumpkins filled with candy, fruit, and... drinks (non-alcoholic). My security camera chimes every time someone comes by, and I can talk to them through the speaker.
It's been fun. At least 20 kids so far. I might need to restock pretty soon....although these are country kids with manners, and they aren't hording.

It's what happens when a neighborhood is built and families with kids move in and age together. Then the kids go away but their parents age in place.
We're seeing the last of the 'founders' move out and there is surge of little kids roaming about. Whether the show up is another story...

It is ludicrous to believe that Congress can create a court two echelons below SCROTUS where a judge can arbitrarily "veto" a Presidential action, a power Congress itself does not have can not deligate.
Sure, they can collectively impeach, but no one legislator has the power to block anything POTUS does.

Yup, that was the trend. My neighbors eventually got old and died, next to me, across the street from me, down the street from me, all gone. Their kids sold the houses to younger couples. The people who bought my house had a 2 year old, so it seems like it was slowly rebuilding.

WSJ Op-Ed: "Transgenderism" Is a Social Contagion, Science Shows
Trans Extremists Push Suicide of a Trans Athlete As Proof Women Should Allow Men In Women's Sports and Changing Areas
Colin Wright wrote an op-ed for the WSJ. He says that the trendlines for transgender identification show that the phenomenon is, as has long been suspected, a social contagion spread by tweens much like many other viral contagions.
The article is paywalled, but Outkick the Coverage digests it."If transgender identity were an innate trait, like left-handedness, we would expect identification rates to rise at first when it became socially acceptable, then plateau and remain stable at a fixed level," Wright wrote. "If the phenomenon were instead driven by social contagion, we might expect a boom-and-bust pattern: a spike followed by a rapid decline once the social forces driving it weaken." But Wright notes that the data doesn't support the idea that trans identity is an innate trait. "An analysis of campus surveys by Eric Kaufmann of the University of Buckingham and the Center for Heterodox Social Science found that the share of college students identifying as transgender fell 50% between 2023 and 2025," Wright noted. "Psychologist Jean Twenge's analysis of the annual Cooperative Election Study, administered by YouGov, found that transgender identification among 18- to 22-year-olds declined by nearly 50% between 2022 and 2024. She concluded that 'it looks like the peak of trans identification is in the past.'" While transgender activists argue that transgenderism is inherent in humans, data shows that most cases are much more likely to be a social contagion or cultural fad.Trans enthusiasts reacted to the article by stating that the author "needs to be hunted down." Meanwhile: A trans pyrsyn has committed suicide. It's getting press because despite the claim that this always happens, it doesn't actually always happen, so the trans extremists have to milk every actual suicide for all it's worth. Trans extremists are using the suicide to, get this, pressure women into letting men beat the shit out of them in sports and change in their locker rooms.
Wright's cited surveys are consistent with a recent pattern among newly released data. A recent study out of England showed that "incidence rates of recorded gender dysphoria/incongruence increased from 0.14 to 4.4 per 10,000 person years" from 2011 to 2021, which represented a 3,000% increase. That came on the heels of a German study that showed "for most young people, the gender-identity related diagnosis (F64) does not persist after 5 years." Essentially, trans identity suddenly spiked in the middle-to-late 2010s, and it's now starting to fall. That pattern more closely resembles a cultural fad or social contagion than the discovery of a new disorder, as Wright argues. "The overwhelming majority of those driving the trans craze fall into the 'nonbinary' category--adopting identities which are said to be neither, both, or somewhere between male and female. These include labels such as 'demiboy,' 'genderfluid' or 'two-spirit.' These are social identities, not biological ones," Wright said.
As a black woman of color and gender, let me add that if your "solution" to trans suicide is just to make every person in the world pretend that men are women, you've failed. That. Is NEVER. Going. To Happen. Trans extremists are selling confused mentally-ill people on the idea that one day straight men will have sex with them and marry them because, goshdarnit, they're 100% women and it's their right to insist that everyone acknowledge this "fact." And when this doesn't happen, they get more depressed and sometimes kill themselves. So stop selling them on an absurd fantasy that straight men (or lesbians) are going to treat men with dicks-and-balls as if they're Real Women. We're not, they're not, and you are setting up mentally-ill people for a crushing disappointment they're not mentally or emotionally equipped to handle. Only about 10% of men are willing (or eager) to pretend that men are women. We call this the "Jonah Goldberg Cohort." Trans advocates are deliberately over-promising the results of "transitioning" and then turning around to the rest of us and telling us, "Well we already promised them they would be accepted without question as literal, real women, so now you have to make good on the promise we made or else they'll kill themselves out of remorse!" Instead of demanding the rest of us make good on your absurd promise, how about you just stop making that absurd promise? Maybe trans people wouldn't be so suicidal if you stopped setting them up for the massive fall. Meanwhile, the world's loudest and crappiest bartender doesn't feel she's getting enough attention.
Kim Shasby Jones
@KimJonesICONS This post from @AriDrennen infuriates me. For so many reasons. First, any taking of life is tragic. This is a sad ending for Lia Smith. It is grotesque and depraved of Drennan to use this tragedy to emotionally blackmail women and the public into holding women responsible for a man's suicide bc they didn't want to undress with him or let him compete in women's sports. Women are NOT responsible for the mental health of men and certainly not required to give up their rights and bodies for a man's emotional well-being. The age-old threat used against women trying to stop abuse, "if you leave, I'll kill myself", is exactly what Mr Drennan's message is. Emotional blackmail is NEVER acceptable, not in elite sport, not in "just D3" sport, not in elementary school. Not in locker rooms at the Y. To tell a young man that he can be accepted as a woman, that he should get to compete against women, that he should be allowed into womens spaces, that he can become a woman - this is setting him up to fail. It is NOT a failure of women to accommodate his desires, it's a failure of medicine, leadership, and culture for not holding firm the boundaries of reality and helping him figure out how to navigate them. Women are not tools of affirmation for the emotional support of men.

1. Brought by community groups... not the State, nor anyone getting food stamps, thus, no standing as THEY are not damaged.
2. All the Programs are actually STATE programs, which are then reimbursed by the Feds... so the lawsuit would have to be from someone on food stamps (damaged) and they would have to sue the STATE... State would then have to sue the Feds for non payment.
3 Judges now have said Feds have to keep paying...
How come standing only is counted if there are conservatives involved?

Do I think it would have been more polite to not call a group of guys a "bunch of girls"? Yeah, I do. Which just goes to show you, politeness was a choice, not a requirement, not a right.

The term for musicians in high school was 'band fags.' This was known and accepted. When I got to college I was surprised they were called 'bandos,' but the drumline had some serious hard-core types that would kill you as soon as look at you, so it made sense that they were more respectful.

Football coaches calling the team "ladies" was a classic motivational tool.
There was some cross-dressing going on, but it was either a callback to Rocky Horror or some sort of stunt. One of my friends wore a skirt on a dare (flowing hippie thing) and it actually turned a lot of female heads because it took balls to do that back then.

I am very socially conservative, but also have a pretty wide libertarian streak, so my take on trans stuff used to be, "eh, they're adults, adults do weird things, just don't make me pay for it." And then there was a cluster at my aspie daughter's school (that she in God's kindness, very narrowly escaped) and I started to learn and try to understand so I could push back.
Let's just say that my position is no longer live and let live on this topic. It is mental delusion to the point that the person is not in their right mind to consent to "treatment". Anyone advocating for this horrific mutilation should be shamed out of society, anyone espousing it to minors should gain a designation akin to a pedo, any doctor mutilating a healthy body should lose their license and be jailed. I would also be ok with firing squads and heads on pikes.

The language got corrupted. We started substituting "gender" for "sex." There are two sexes. There are three genders in English and German, two in the Romance languages.
For whatever reason, the very word "sex" was offensive to the feminists, and so the groundwork was laid to later say "gender is not equal to sex."

That’s why they are shooting up kindergartners. That’s kinda the point. These are wind-up toys, the product of roughly 100 years of programming and deconstruction, social research, propaganda, drugs, you name it. They have a plan, even if it isn’t apparent.

Nah, just point out that Food Stamps are STATE programs, that the Fed then reimburses.
So anyone not getting food stamps would need to Sue the STATE, not the Feds.... and then the State would have to sue the Feds for non payment.

Not playing in garage bands, not racing motocross, or looking forward to getting my license, or even graduating. It was the first time during the tube top era rolling a tube top down over a nice round pair of boobs and pressing my fucking face into them, and palming that nice smooth female ass like a frigging cheeseburger. I practically looked to the heavens and yelled thank you god for making me a red blooded male. Nothing will ever, ever replace that, ever. The trannies, the fags, whatever, can go play with each other's hairy man ass, but I have been to the top of the mountain, and it is GOOD, and they will never, ever, alter my course.

Of course it is. The only thing necessary for evil to conquer is the inactivity of men. If you are pro-murder, then you are part of the problem. You keep saying for us to raise them all. We are all here in like to do so. But the inactivity of those who prefer to not look at the real issue and then pass laws making it necessary to NOT murder babies stands in the way.
There are thousands and probably millions of couples waiting to adopt, who will never be chosen because women prefer to abort. The excuse is growing thin.

In high school I got very little action (IOW none - I was a skinny unremarkable kid). But, I knew early on that I was not a homo. The girls in my school wore Levi's 501s or Wranglers. Not a lot of makeup or mall-hair (Wyoming). And aside from some cheerleader snots, most of the girls would be nice to me, even if they weren't interested in dating me.
Anyway, to sum up, I love women.

It was not long after the awful necessity of cancer treatment that I heard one of these ghouls snap at an interviewer that girl could "just get them put back on".
Absolute brazen lie. I was so furious I narrowly stopped myself from chucking my laptop into the wall. There is NO going back, it will NEVER be the same and that's entirely aside from the pain, infection and cancer risks of these horrific procedures! And then the awful meds they put these kids on - a lifetime of issues.

AOC is "meh" in looks. She's not ugly, but she's not "hot", nor "hawt". And her physical measurements have never been what some in this forum seem to be so fond over. Using the Kevin Daniels scale of "Pick a number between 1 and 10 and you can't say 7", she's a 6 simply because she can't be an 8--there's just nothing "there...there" to throw her out of the 6's and launch her into the 8's.
Abortion is always immoral, regardless of whatever statistics might be available about who is and isn't most likely to use them. "Republican" women who silently or not-so-silently support abortion are part of the reason this country has never had the moral reckoning on this issue it so desperately needs.
The doctors performing "trans" surgeries violated their most sacred oath and in a just world would be prosecuted and given lengthy jail time.

Trump: Nuke the Filibuster, Pass the CR
Around the country, air flights are facing 2-3 hour delays because air traffic controllers aren't being paid.
The heads of United and Delta demanded the Democrats pass the clean CR.Delta and United Airlines are demanding that Democrats stop holding the government hostage and vote for the clean continuing resolution Republicans already passed, warning that the standoff is punishing federal workers and starting to rattle the economy. Speaking to reporters Thursday, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby praised air traffic controllers, TSA agents, and FAA staff for keeping flights running under crushing pressure but said Democrats' inaction is pushing them to the brink. "They've minimized delays. Fewer than two percent of flights have been delayed so far because of air traffic control shortage," Kirby said. "They've done a great job, but it's putting stress on people. It's not fair to those people. It's also putting stress on the economy." Now at Day 30, Kirby said, the Democrat-led shutdown is beginning to show real economic fallout. "The first couple of weeks had no impact on the economy, but as every day goes by, the impacts start to grow," he said. "Airlines are a pretty good real-time indicator of the economy, and we're starting to see minor but steep booking impact. We put the whole economy at risk." Kirby said he has no interest in Democrats' attempts to spin the fight into a healthcare debate, calling instead for Congress to "pass a clean CR" and hash out policy differences "behind closed doors, without putting American workers and the economy at risk." Delta issued a similar demand, urging lawmakers to "immediately pass a clean continuing resolution," adding that "missed paychecks only increase the stress on these essential workers, many of whom are already working mandatory overtime to keep our skies safe and secure."The CBO estimates that the Democrats have already succeeded in shaving $14 billion out of the US economy due to the chaos they've caused. Trump now says: Nuke the filibuster, and pass the CR with a simple majority.
President Trump is done letting Democrats hold the government hostage. On Thursday, he called on Senate Republicans to "play their Trump card" and invoke the nuclear option -- scrapping the filibuster and ending the month-long shutdown with a simple majority vote. "It is now time for the Republicans to play their 'TRUMP CARD,' and go for what is called the Nuclear Option -- get rid of the filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!" Trump wrote in a fiery Truth Social post after returning from a five-day swing through Asia. He said world leaders kept asking how "the Democrats SHUT DOWN the United States of America" and why Republicans allowed it to happen. "Majority Leader John Thune, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, are doing a GREAT job," Trump said, "but the Democrats are Crazed Lunatics that have lost all sense of WISDOM and REALITY." He blamed the standoff on a "sick form" of Trump Derangement Syndrome -- the obsession, he argued, that's driving Democrats to damage the country rather than give his administration a win.As expected, Thune is refusing to nuke the filibuster, because he believes, naively and insanely, that the Democrats will not themselves end the filibuster the moment it becomes useful for them to do so. Politico:
Republicans are quickly tamping down President Donald Trump's call to eliminate the Senate filibuster as they try to keep pressure on Democrats to end the 31-day government shutdown. GOP leaders believed Thursday they were on track to reopen agencies as soon as next week. Then Trump threw a fresh complication into their laps overnight when he revived calls for Republicans to invoke the "nuclear option" and eliminate the 60-vote threshold for passing most legislation. Without it, Republican senators could reopen the government on their own. But many GOP senators have vocally defended the filibuster, including Majority Leader John Thune, calling the 60-vote rule a fundamental feature of the Senate and one that works to conservatives' benefit in the long run. Thune has defended the filibuster multiple times during the shutdown, calling it a "bad idea" to suggest eliminating it. "The 60-vote threshold has protected this country," he said earlier this month.The Democrats have eliminated the use of the filibuster every single time the Republicans used it to block them. Republicans used it to block federal court nominations; Harry Reid nuked it. It's crazy to think the Democrats would ever allow Republicans to pull their own shutdown stunt in the future. The GOP is always being taught lessons, but never, ever learns. It might not matter. Sources say that Democrats plan on ending the stupid shutdown after election day. So shutting down the government is officially, admittedly just a base-stoking electioneering stunt.
Stephen NeukamSome unrelated matters: A Mexican senator says Trump esta dijando la verdad.
@stephen_neukam NEWS -- There's a sense within the Senate Democratic caucus that next week will bring significant movement toward ending the government shutdown, multiple sources told Axios. Likely after election day on Tuesday. Lawmakers have made progress on talks around packaging approps bills with a CR. The major sticking point remains around ACA subsidies. Dems know it's incredibly unlikely any extension passes the House.
Working group and a floor vote on ACA extension are potential offramps.
A prominent Mexican lawmaker has delivered a stunning rebuke of her country's leadership, agreeing with President Trump's long-standing claim that Mexico is effectively controlled by drug cartels. In a video message posted this week, Mexican Senator Lily Téllez declared, "He is not lying -- it's the truth, and the people of Mexico know it." Téllez, a leading member of the opposition National Action Party (PAN), said that Trump's assessment "doesn't shame us as good, honest Mexicans -- it exposes the corrupt ruling class of MORENA," the leftist party led by former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and his successor, President Claudia Sheinbaum. "Claudia, you don't represent the Mexican people," Téllez said bluntly. "You represent the MORENA Cartel. You lack any dignity." The senator accused López Obrador and Sheinbaum of colluding with powerful drug syndicates to secure political power and then allowing them to expand their grip on the nation. "The cartel problem didn't begin with MORENA, but under them, it has exploded," she said. "They surrendered national sovereignty and absolute power to organized crime."

He communicates with Thune directly. Vance actually went to Thune and straightened him out on some things in a meeting.
This is, "We'll do drastic things to stop Democrat obstruction," in public while just largely being fine with things behind closed doors. Trump has spent the last few weeks busy with international affairs, where he actually does care.

1. This is show theater. Trump has no intention of nuking the filibuster. It's more negotiating tactics and leverage. Democraps surely do not want the filibuster nuked now, when they are not in charge.
2. I highly doubt any flight delays over the last few days were because of ATC not being paid. As I mentioned in the previous post, there has long been an ATC shortage.
Plus, there was terrible weather across large swaths of the country in the past week.
I flew in and out of CLT (from EWR) without any issues, despite the storms, other than the usual 15-30 minute delays for something or other.
3. Be very skeptical of media reports or interested parties like Delta Airlines blaming Problem X on the shutdown.

It's a vote for a concept that doesn't exist anymore. It was supposed to be a vote to "close dialog".
We all know there ain't no dialog going on these days.
I think the Dems might have done so much damage to their brand, that if the Republicans nuke the cloture vote, pass the CR and reopen the government so that everybody gets paid, who knows that the Dems can ever regain the Senate.
All the same, it's an antiquated idea.

The filibuster isn't anywhere in the Constitution and the way it is being used today has nothing to do with the original intent behind the procedure. All it now takes is for one Senator to say they want a filibuster and it's on.
It's a dumb Senate rule left over from the days when there was some actual collegiality in the Senate. Those days are long gone.

Yes, they will get paid, but for many, timing is everything.

In a video message posted this week, Mexican Senator Lily Téllez declared, "He is not lying -- it's the truth, and the people of Mexico know it."

I was against it because then the competitive advantage for CRs would make them even more tempting than they were already, and I pictured a future where 500 years later, the budget is still just a CR of the 2024 budget. However, it is of course possible to have a short CR to keep things going while you negotiate the actual budget bills, which is what the Republican caucus very reasonably attempted, and should have been able to do.
I am still against broadly nuking the filibuster as a whole, not because I think Democrats won't, but because it would be a political loser, or at least less of a winner. It would add political cost to no greater benefit over a narrow nuke, which we already know is possible, because it has been gradually nuked over time from just excepting Supreme Court justices to now excepting nominations for the judiciary and cabinet members.
But proving to dimwits that it really was the Democrats blocking Republicans from paying food stamps and air traffic controllers is a massive win.

The recent history of shut-downs is not impressive.
Obama got everything he asked for + 33% and the Dems withstood the demand that they put Congressional staffers on the Obamacare exchanges.
So, even though it sounds like we're doing more to keep a open-ended cloture vote to "resist CRs", in the end it's not doing anything but paying bureaucrats for a whole batch of not working.

That’s a mighty nice filibuster you have there. It’d be a shame if you got rid of it in time for democrats to use it to pass any number of long standing priorities
That’s assuming there’s elections in the future that are free and fair. Remember his “joke” to Zelensky about “no votes when at war? Okay better remember that one.” As he is manufacturing justification to invade Venezuela now.
Republicans have been trying to sell the point that the Democrats are keeping the Government closed. If they use the Nuclear Option, then that destroys their narrative, because the average person will then be told 'see, the Republicans had the power all along, and they failed to use it 30 days ago."
if the Democrats did this in 2010 when they had a f---ing supermajority, we would have had single payer healthcare. Not "Obamacare", but something resembling Medicare for All.

Ummmm, did you just sock an Artillery Munition?
Overview of DPICM in Vietnam
What is DPICM?
The Dual-Purpose Improved Conventional Munition (DPICM) is an artillery round designed to release multiple submunitions upon detonation. It is effective against both armored vehicles and personnel, hence the term "dual-purpose."
Historical Context
Development: DPICM projectiles were developed in the late 1950s, with the first model, the 105 mm M444, entering service in 1961.
Usage in Vietnam: During the Vietnam War, DPICM was used extensively. It was found to be significantly more effective than standard high-explosive rounds. For example, it required only 1.7 DPICM rounds to kill an enemy soldier, compared to 13.6 high-explosive rounds.
Types of DPICM Rounds
Caliber Variants: DPICM rounds were available in various calibers, including 105 mm, 155 mm, and 203 mm.
Submunitions: A typical 155 mm DPICM shell could contain up to 88 submunitions, which would spread over a wide area to maximize impact.

If they do nuke it, Dems have NO leverage when this CR runs out in three weeks. NONE. No extension of subsidies whatsoever. GOP just passes another CR with no Dem input.
From there, think what you could do if you just nuked it completely. End vote-by-mail nationwide, require voter ID in every state, exclude illegals from the census, whatever. If you did that it would be almost impossible for Dems to ever win any branch again because they're so concentrated and reliant on ballot fraud and illegals both voting and being used for apportionment.
Risk of them retaliating is less when they end up with no plausible path to retaking power absent a return to some form of sanity.

Seen it recently.
Went to dinner with another couple and my buddy got chicken with "Alabama White Sauce" as one of the sauces.
We discussed what it could be. He said it tasted like mayonnaise and we concluded it probably was mayonnaise based. I made a mental note to look up "Alabama White Sauce", but I did NOT get to it.
A couple days later, I see "Alabama White Sauce" on my Youtube feed, the video being a couple of years old.

I still think Trump read the riot act to Obama back at Jimmy Carter's funeral. The lip reader caught this:
Trump: "We need to talk."
Obama: (annoyed look, surprised, then a nod)
Trump: "Not here. Somewhere private"
Obama: (another nod)
I'm going to speculate that Trump basically said he was going to dismantle a lot of what Obama and Eric Holder put in place. He likely gave Obama the choice of sitting by silently. Or if he challenged his actions, Trump would pursue him relentlessly for all discretions and illegalities. For a while after that funeral, Obama was very quiet and off the radar. Recently, he has jumped into the limelight. Trump doesn't have a history of making empty promises.

It all comes down to illegal immigration. All of it. Dems have spent years flooding the country with illegals. So much so that illegals ARE there base. If they can't deliver on free health care for illegals, THAT hurts their real base. That is what the shutdown is all about.

There is a non-disprovable hypothesis that the private security industry's body double service -- originally to fake out paparazzi/stalkers/assassins on your actual destination -- morphed and metastasized into a full-spectrum service that the rich and/or powerful (incl. U.S. Senators) can use for damn near anything. Fetterman is held up as a non-disconfirming example who may have been originally hired by his staff to keep up appearances, since he had several different looks and demeanors in his early recovery (or "recovery") from his stroke. Maybe he never recovered, one opportunistic actor went rogue and took over, and everyone involved has too much to lose to call him out.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy Cancels 7,200 Truckers' Licenses for Failing to Meet the Requiremnt of Speaking English
More than 7,200 commercial truck drivers have been taken off America's highways since the Department of Transportation (DOT), under Secretary Sean Duffy, began enforcing new English language proficiency standards in May -- part of a Trump administration effort to strengthen safety rules gutted under Barack Obama. "[DOT] requires commercial truck drivers to speak and understand English to operate a big rig -- or they will be taken out of service," Duffy wrote on X. "This is about [President Trump] and his administration making America's roads SAFE again!" According to the DOT, roughly 7,250 truckers have been placed out of service for failing the reinstated English standards, which the Obama-era DOT had weakened to accommodate foreign drivers -- many of whom, officials say, lacked even a basic ability to read road signs or communicate with law enforcement. Duffy said the new standards are designed to crack down on the black market trucking industry that relies on cheap foreign labor with limited or no English proficiency. The announcement follows a series of deadly highway crashes involving foreign or illegal alien truck drivers. In one recent case, an illegal alien from India allegedly killed three Americans in California -- a sanctuary state that issued him a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) without enforcing the federal English language requirement. "My prayers are with the families of the victims of this tragedy. It would have never happened if Gavin Newsom had followed our new rules," Duffy said. "California broke the law, and now three people are dead and two are hospitalized. These people deserve justice. There will be consequences."No more Third World Assassins driving their Murder Rigs over American citizens.
Duffy is reportedly weighing penalties, including withholding millions in federal funds from California, for failing to follow the Trump administration's CDL standards. Another similar case occurred in Florida, where an illegal alien -- also from India -- is accused of killing three people after making an illegal U-turn on a highway. Investigators discovered the man had failed a written driving test 10 times but was still granted a CDL in both Washington and California, two sanctuary states. After the crash, DOT officials administered an English proficiency assessment, which the driver failed -- answering only 2 of 12 verbal questions correctly and recognizing just 1 of 4 traffic signs.
We will not let ANYONE compromise the safety of the American people.

It's difficult to imagine a valid company putting one of these illiterates behind the wheel of a rig, the tractor alone costs $150K plus the trailer and its contents. And the liability. A thousand years ago a $million dollars liability per truck was requisite.
The whole thing is bizarre and unfeasible.
Who owns these trucks? What are the company names?

BACKFIRED: Spanberger’s Preferred Climate Policy Caused 2.1B More Pounds of CO2 Emissions
Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger supports a climate project that actually increased the carbon emissions Virginia caused—and cost residents more money—according to the commonwealth’s Department of Energy.
That project, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, “was supposed to decrease emissions, but it actually increased emissions,” Glenn Davis, director of the Virginia Department of Energy, told The Daily Signal in an interview Tuesday. He called it a “bait and switch.”...
So, how did the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a program aimed at decreasing carbon emissions, actually increase them?
“RGGI penalized utilities for emissions generated by in-state generation facilities, but it did not address any out-of-state generation facilities, so Dominion [Energy] decreased their power generation on their natural gas facilities in Virginia and supplemented it with their coal-burning facilities in West Virginia,” Davis explained.

Except the the shipper and the receiver may not even know if the trucker is illegal, if they are using a freight brokerage. Also what do you do with an impounded load of perishable food?
1. Arrest the driver on the spot.
2. Seize the truck and trailer on the spot. But...
3. Put a DOT-hired driver in the seat, and let him complete the run, and make the delivery. Consignee is assessed a 20,000 dollar fine for being a party to the use of illegal labor, which can be waived if they cooperate in the prosecution of the trucking company or crooked freight broker.
4. Once trailer is unloaded, DOT driver takes it to regional impound lot, where they are held until the auction date.

Speaking of entitled princesses and illegals, that Kat Abughazeleh who's running for Congress in Illinois and got indicted on federal charges for impeding federal law enforcement and other charges can NOT take the heat up close and personal, even when it's more like a cozy warmth.
Tara Palmieri can't even open a conversation with her about it. What idiocy. Palmieri might have given her a sympathetic hearing.

Went and looked.... if there was NOT an Asset Limit when you are over 64? I'd get SNAP here in Calif.
Funny how a couple years ago I would have qualified... but now don't because I'm two years to old.
Oh, and the asset limit does not include a House or Car, but does include stocks or a bank account, and that limit is only about $4500... which is clearly stupid because with a large enough family, you can MAKE more than $4500 a month, and qualify for the program.

It’s not even about the issue, per se. It is about delineating the powers of our branches, especially the judiciary which has way overstepped their boundaries. We can check that now since Republicans have power. But it’s arguable the judiciary underwrote most of the constitutional subversion the occurred during the Biden years. We need to ensure the courts are never in the position again to play dictator and let authoritarian poltics rule over constitution.

Hmmmm. I don't think I like it. It doesn't seem like the punishment fits the crime.
Where the trucking company has an illegal alien driver and the there can be little doubt that company *knew* the driver was an unqualified illegal - "No Name Given" or can't speak English, etc. - the truck *and* its cargo should just be seized under civil asset forfeiture and then auctioned off. Make that shit sandwich of a law for work for our side for once and make the penalty stupendous. Losing a truck is a big deal. Losing a cargo is an even bigger deal. Insurance won't cover it (due to the fraud involved) and shippers will start looking up the trucking companies' asses to make damn sure their freight isn't facing that risk.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke

He'll be dismantled by his counterpart in the 2028 campaign -- whether he's top of the ticket or #2. I think the problem is, people generally have no idea what the Transportation Secretary does unless they do something like strip 7,250 drivers of their licenses and (please God) sue California for granting illegal CDLs. That 1) Buttigieg is gay, and 2) the roads didn't get swallowed up by the earth and planes didn't fall out of the sky during his tenure is good enough for Dems.

Possibly true, but these guys are from a trucking organization, so what else are they gonna say but that this is a limited, isolated problem? I suspect the problem is much deeper. Companies are always looking to reduce labor costs. Hiring cheap illegals is often the go-to move. So long as a truck has his papers and CDL -- and these illegal murder-machine drivers apparently did -- then it's easy to look the other way and pocket the savings.

I'm of the opinion that seizing the cargo might often wind up costing the government money, rather than make it. Of course the trailers should be searched, because there might be contraband on board, too.
But say I was shipping you a used radiator for your Studebaker, and the freight company puts it on illegal's truck, and it gets seized? We are both fucked, out of no fault of our own.

These "ground stop" orders are common and happen even without a shutdown. There are too few air traffic controllers to begin with, and the volume of planes going into and out of three major airports only 25 miles apart -- JFK, LGA, and EWR -- makes it very difficult to keep the flights all going on time. It's been a decades-long problem.
There was a 30-minute ground shut-down into Newark when I was coming back from Charlotte on Wednesday. I suspect it was more weather-related than anything, but it was blamed on the shutdown.

Point was that it would not be hard to get insurance and such if someone owned the truck. Hell... have not met my insurance folks in decades.
So... Brother Achmed buys the truck... hires Brother Mohamed to drive it... who has a CDL from somewhere like Ill or Calif... then they subcontract using the independent trucker network...
Keep the truck owned by the company, and different companies for each truck (so if sued, its a minimal loss).

Prince Andrew Now Stripped of All Titles and Honors Over His Friends-with-Benefits Relationship With Jeffrey Epstein
He'll now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, which... sounds an awful lot like a royal name.
I see this as mostly a lateral move. Except the part where he's kicked out of his free 30-room mansion.Andrew will no longer be known as a prince and is to leave Royal Lodge, Buckingham Palace has confirmed. In a bombshell statement released tonight, Buckingham Palace said he will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor - with immediate effect. It comes as the palace said the 'censures are deemed necessary' amid the ongoing scandal over Jeffrey Epstein, whom Andrew lied about cutting ties with. 'His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew,' the statement said.A commenter yesterday wondered about this, stating that he didn't think they could take away the "prince" title, as it is conferred by birth not granted by grace of the king. But you know the thing about kings-- they kind of make up their own laws as they please.
Per Google AI, "peppercorn rent" is...
'Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence. 'Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease and he will move to alternative private accommodation. 'These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him. 'Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.' ... Although the former duke has been stripped of all his remaining titles those of his daughters, Princess Beatrice, 37, and Princess Eugenie, 35, will remain. ... It is understood Prince William and the Royal Family fully support the King's leadership on the recent move. Andrew's recent departure from the Royal Lodge, where he paid 'peppercorn rent' over 20 years', comes amid an ongoing row over the residence since his dukedom title was stripped earlier this month.
... a nominal, token, or symbolic rent, often as low as one peppercorn per year, used in a lease to meet the legal requirement for a two-way exchange to make a contract binding.So essentially he was given a 30-room mansion for free. Update: Via the NY Post, he did plow his own money into renovating the mansion:
Andrew has not paid rent on Royal Lodge for the past 22 years, according to UK reports, because he paid a large sum -- around $10.7 million -- to renovate the residence.I don't know what 30-room mansions usually rent for.
However as of today, it is understood Andrew has been served notice to surrender the lease at the 30-bedroom mansion and will move out of the residence as soon as practically possible. ... The move was entirely down to the King and his advisers, without pressure from the government or other family members, such as Prince William, sources told the Daily Mail.The British site GBNews says that this also serves as a warning to Prince Harry and his awful SJW influencer wife.
... It comes as His Majesty had made it clear he would not hesitate to take 'further action' if his younger brother continued to cling on to his dukedom and other honours after he lied about cutting ties with paedophile financier Epstein, the Daily Mail previously revealed. And despite the tsunami of growing evidence mounting against him, the 65-year-old was understood to still be 'digging his heels in' with a 'startling lack of contrition', in a situation the King deemed 'intolerable', sources previously said. ... Earlier today, anti--monarchy campaign group Republic said it has instructed lawyers to investigate the prince and, if appropriate, press ahead with legal proceedings. The Daily Mail understands the allegations it is focusing on relate to allegations he sexually assaulted Giuffre, that he asked a royal protection officer to look into her background and impropriety when he served as an official UK trade envoy. But Republic said it is mounting its own bid to take him to court because the legal and political response to the claims has been 'weak and inadequate' to date.
The fact that the King was able to bypass Parliament, with the support of the Government, to take action against a fellow royal is incredibly significant. It could even have set a precedent that future monarchs use to sanction other members of the Royal Family. The King's eldest son and heir to the throne, Prince William, fully supported the action taken against his uncle. The Prince of Wales is known to have a strained relationship with his brother, Prince Harry, with the pair avoiding each other at several events over the last two and a half years. The current bitter and broken relationship between the King's two sons stems from the Duke of Sussex's decision to launch multiple public attacks on the Royal Family from 2021 to 2023. Prince Harry did several TV interviews, firing digs at the monarchy alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, with the most notable taking place in March 2021 with Oprah Winfrey. The Sussexes' interview with Ms Winfrey sent shockwaves across the world and led to Prince William telling journalists: "We're very much not a racist family." The Prince of Wales's frustration with his younger brother grew stronger over the following two years as Prince Harry discussed royal matters in a Netflix documentary in 2022 before issuing a tell-all autobiography in January 2023. Prince Harry did several TV interviews, firing digs at the monarchy alongside his wife, Meghan Markle, with the most notable taking place in March 2021 with Oprah Winfrey. | The memoir, which contained several attacks on key members of the Royal Family, including William's wife, Princess Kate, was the most damaging blow in the feud between the brothers. Since then, Prince William has kept his distance from Prince Harry and has not been involved in talks with the Duke of Sussex when he has visited the UK.Update:
Daily Mail has had several articles on this quoting a handful of palace insiders saying the de-Princing of Andrew by Charles was at the request of the future King, William so that he wouldn't have to do it, which he would have. Chuck obliged. Posted by: one hour soberI know this is a controversial #HotTake here in America, but I think that kings and princes are silly. Except... if...

In a bombshell statement released tonight, Buckingham Palace said he will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor - with immediate effect.
It comes as the palace said the 'censures are deemed necessary' amid the ongoing scandal over Jeffrey Epstein, whom Andrew lied about cutting ties with.
Since he is no longer beholden to the royal family, the tell all books should be illuminating.
Especially the one about Charles & Diana.

Daily Mail, 'Fergie's Mask Slips' Fergie 'is set to leave Andrew alone' as he demands TWO homes so they can live apart after leaving the Royal Lodge
In part, "Andrew has only paid 'peppercorn' rent for the last 20 years, and while he initially tried to dig his heels in by citing the terms of his 'cast iron' lease with the Crown Estate, it is understood he will finally move out.
The prince still has 50 years left on his pre-paid lease and it not known exactly how much money he could receive in compensation for the £7.5million he has spent on Royal Lodge renovations."
They've been divorced since 2008.
I imagine Harry and whatshername are joyful over the news.

It is amazing how little attention has been paid to the fact that the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and several other senior Trump officials are having to live on military bases with their families, due to threats against them.
Imagine if right-wing threats forced several Obama officials to live on military bases - there would be constant calls in the establishment press for a mass roundup of conservatives.
Some leftists who have noticed this are claiming that living on a military base is just a wonderful perk that these evil Trump officials are taking advantage of.

Yea, this seems like mostly fake bullshit to make it look like the odious royal family of skanks, turds, perverts, leeches, and oily scabs (with a few rare exceptions) is disciplining their most notorious grotesque, when in reality nothing will change.
There's been ongoing disputes over Andrew living in that mansion for years, IIRC. He was gonna be kicked out regardless.
In a way, Meghan Markle has done more damage to the royal reputation than Andrew has. He was a known scumbag who's scumbaggery was decades ago, and despite the pious incantations of those pretending to be appalled at his behavior, the Brits (and especially royals) always had a taste for sexual perversion.
Meghan shitting all over the royals, calling them racist and abusive, has gotta hurt their egos more than some middled-aged sleaze macking on teenage girls.

Another unpopular American take: "Andrew," as we will now call him, still denies all the criminal or very untoward things, and I don't know of any evidence other than Virginia Giuffre's accusations and other circumstantial and testimonial stuff.

Supposedly, he's worth ~$4.7M (converted from pounds). He has an annual pension from the Navy of ~$26K - he served for 22 years.
My guess is that he blows through that and relies on his daughters who're married to very wealthy men. They may have actual jobs also but I don't care enough to try and find out.

The intro was fun for maybe one time but I think too long for regular viewing. It'll just be skipped anyway.
Maybe a 10-15 second Intro max.
With you picking out the blu-ray box to be talked about as the last shot. Having a different movie than the one talked about is confusing.
Anyway, congrats on your first review on youtube.

I think we should have more Gov Housing for both Administration and Congress folks. Just like Base housing for the military, its owned by the State or Feds, and you get to use it while in that office or position.
The idea that you are a House member and have to buy or rent a yugely expensive DC place to live for a couple of years... while also retaining your original Home? financially tough.
Same with folks who are appointed to the administration... which is one reason we see DC insiders inhabiting every administration... they already live there.

Peppercorn rent is a legal fiction designed to satisfy the legal requirement that all contracts (including leases) have "consideration" (value) going from one party to the other and vice versa. Otherwise, there is no legally enforceable contract.
I assume what was really going on what that Andrew was allowed to live in the mansion rent-free as part of his title. But without any sort of "payment" from him at all, there would be no binding lease, and possibly even claims by him that he owned the property through adverse possession.
I assume the peppercorn arrangement is common among royals and aristocracy, as a means to allow family members to live on properties owned by the family for generations.

Wrong. There is no precedent. He's a g-ddamned King. If outside influences determine whether to depose a Prince for crimes against the laws of subjects, they can be used to depose a King. People don't get a say in the affairs of monarchs. If they do, monarchy means nothing. If a family member is unsuited to royalty, you kill him yourself as an act of State, without reference to the subjects.
I hope Donald I understands this.

I think that's a fair question. The post isn't throne-sniffing it covers a culturally and internationally relevant event. BUT I have never understood the fascination that certain people, and especially a certain cadre of Americans, have with royalty. The whole Kennedy Camelot mythology made me want to puke (and still does), and the obsession over here (almost exclusively among chicks) with Princess Diana was psychotic. To me it's all of a piece with whatever drives celebrity-worship, but I've never related to or connected with the mindset that drives it. And I'm still not even sure what that mindset is, exactly.

King Chuck ought to take his position in British Society more seriously.

Next he might take his role as Head of the English people seriously and drive all the rapey wogs into the sea....No boats. They can swim their way to Frogville.

But their lives are not their own, really. They don't get to have "normal" lives, simple lives. So many choices are made for them from protocol, tradition etc and they have so many expectations put on them.
Of course, I'm speaking about those born to this -- not the ones who willingly join in by marriage. They have to know what they are choosing.

In modern form, royal families exist as an insurance policy if things go really pear shaped. They are a perpetuating line of people who have every interest in the continuation and success of a country. So if there is ever a "constitutional crisis" or a coup, or whatever and somebody needs to have absolute right to decide who gets to run things, you want a king who knows that if the country really goes to shit he, and his family and entire line, will be dead in a ditch.
Even still it doesn't always work out, but what else is there? Think of it as a very expensive insurance policy where the public pays millions every year supporting these grifters and hope they are never needed.
For this reason, I think the late Queen did a horrible job at her only job - raising decent kids.

I don't know what cluster B is; I heard Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm convinced she had something very wrong with her.

She was between a rock and a hard spot. Queening is hard work, lengthy travel, long days, endless banquets and teas and ceremonies and events -- a highly demanding career. If you don't do these things, you're not queening. At the same time, you're supposed to put your body to the service of the state and produce heirs -- but you're not allowed to take the time to raise them.

Enjoyed it! But agree that the intro needs to be a lot shorter. What you could do, once you have a few under your belt, is to use that intro for a "welcome to my channel" video.
And if you want to vary the shots, do that quick cut thing that everyone does. Also: churn out some shorts. Like 30 seconds of "my top ten christmas movies" or some dumb thing. You can do those eve more easily - no talking head required. Use Canva or something, use movie posters/cover images and do a voice over.
Good luck with this and with the job search.

And if you want to vary the shots, do that quick cut thing that everyone does. Also: churn out some shorts. Like 30 seconds of "my top ten christmas movies" or some dumb thing. You can do those eve more easily - no talking head required. Use Canva or something, use movie posters/cover images and do a voice over.
Good luck with this and with the job search.

Where? Seriously, because most of what Romans says about government from reading chapter 12 is that government is God-appointed and you have to obey. Nothing much about any burden or responsibility of governing authority, but rather a burden and obigation on the part of the subjects to capitulate. So I'd honestly like to know the source of your conclusion.

The solution is simple. The Windsors need to learn how to tell their advisers to sod off. Before Prince Harry turned into Markle's cuck, he served in the British Army in Afghanistan twice... at least until some douchecanoe Limey reporter published photos of him in field gear during his first deployment. The Army pulled him early because they chickened out on letting him take the same risks as his fellow soldiers.
I never understood why he didn't loudly bitch about it. I'd have had more respect for him if he had.

It's funny, because Octavian was basically the opposite of that - nobody thought of him as a potential inheritor of Julius Caesar, precisely because of his martial incompetence. Always runty, frequently ill, and forced to retire from his campaigns for convalescence. Everyone thought it would be anyone else.
But Julius knew he'd be the best leader, and secretly adopted him.

He's supposedly not the sharpest tool in the shed, to begin with. He was indulged through most of his young wild days by pretty much everyone, wink, wink, "Randy Andy." I think he's being punished not so much for what he did, but for being caught.
But he's been condemned mostly by a woman who was mentally unstable, and from a book, that may or may not be accurate. She's now dead, so there's no way Andrew can get at what is inaccurate about it out. I've never really trusted her claims. They're was the whole "maybe she was mistaken about Dershowitz's identity" and she seemed to be suing anyone left and right. I think Andrew was pressured to settle rather than fight and that's led to this. I am willing to bet some of it was based on reality -- Andrew probably did have sex with her -- but I doubt he was aware of the sliminess Epstein engaged in, and I bet he thought she was a willing (and of legal age) participant.
Back to "not the sharpest tool in the shed": Reading about his post military life, he seems like some idiot who thinks of people as, "Well, he's a capitol chap!" or they aren't.

They were well served by a Viking invasion in the York area in the North under another Harald. They had to march all the way up there, beat them then heard of the Normans and had to march all the way back to Hastings.

I have zero sympathy for the Epstein girls, who knew exactly what they were doing. But Andrew and Sarah are both tacky, shady idiots and Epstein is not the only unsavory character they associated with.
All Andrew ever had to do was keep his head down and not do anything too outrageous. Apparently, that was beyond his abilities. He was always jealous of Charles, I imagine. I always liked Sarah, but she has a shopping addiction and is lacking any sort of discretion.
I think William is behind every bit of this, again, to crush his obnoxious brother. I think he's covered for him his entire life, and is done playing.
He probably started planning this after the Oprah interview, but Nutmeg's behavior towards Catherine and toddler Charlotte in the run up to the Sussex wedding probably sealed their Fate. Nutmeg is also alleged to have been caught trying to get pictures of the kids, Charlotte especially, sleeping during her first and last visit to William and Catherine's private residence.

I despise Hawwy, the beady-eyed ginger balding ponce with the IQ of a rutabaga. Man, he's fugly.
Much gossip with photos show his wife as a Epstein yacht girl for hire. It is said Andrew, of all people, tried to warn him. MS 16 supposedly has the information. And she also supposedly pretended to be pregnant and that's why the ponce married her skanky ass. And the ginger children are either not real or surrogates.
It is all one giant mess. While I agree with Ace about monarchy's, I do like Princess Catherine and Prince William. Yes,I know he's liberal. I hope he undoes his ugly brother forever and may the ponce go to Botswana forevermore and fades away to spare my retinas.

FBI Foils Halloween Terrorist Attack in Michigan; Bloated Blood Sausage JB Pritzker Demands Trump Suspend Deportation Operations So That Illegals Can Enjoy the Noted Religious Holiday Halloween "In Peace"
UPDATE: The planned terrorist attack originating in Dearbornistan was "ISIS-inspired."
CNN -- The FBI averted a potential terrorist attack planned for Halloween weekend, the agency said. The plot was inspired by ISIS, two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the case told CNN. The two law enforcement officials who spoke to CNN said the plot unfolded in online chatrooms. An FBI undercover person was introduced into the chatroom in the early stages of discussion, one of those officials said. Two participants have been arrested, and three others are being questioned, that official said. Agents became concerned that the plot might be imminent around the Halloween weekend when a reference to "pumpkin day" came up in discussions with the group that law enforcement was surveilling, and a decision was made to go in, one official said.H/t Captain Fantastic. Back to original post: So, I like Halloween well enough, but it's just absolutely preposterous that Governor Supersize JB Pritzker is demanding an end to deportations so that illegal alien criminals can enjoy the sacred Joke Holiday of Halloween. In NYC, they call Halloween "Gay Christmas" because of the largely-gay Halloween parade. I guess that the Democrat-Antifa-Media Party has officially sacralized this pagan/gay holiday as among the holiest of the year. For those of you too young to remember religious holidays: Think of the Islamic holiday of Eid. I know you know that one because the Islamic-dominated government never shuts up about it. Democrats always claim we cannot attack our terrorist enemies on Eid. Just like now they claim we can't deport illegals on Halloween, which, to the extent it's a holiday at all, is only a holiday to the English and Irish and that's pretty much it. MXM news:
llinois Gov. JB Pritzker has once again revealed his misplaced priorities--this time pleading with the Trump administration to suspend immigration enforcement so that illegal aliens can "enjoy the holiday in peace." In a letter dated October 29 and addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, and CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott, Pritzker demanded that all ICE operations be halted from October 31 through November 2. The Democrat governor argued that immigration enforcement during Halloween could "traumatize children" and "force families to live in fear," citing unverified reports that federal agents deployed tear gas at a children's parade in northwest Chicago. According to Politico, Pritzker's letter accused federal agents of "targeting Black and Brown people" and violating constitutional protections. He wrote that "families deserve to spend Halloween weekend without fear," and insisted "no child should be forced to inhale tear gas or other chemical agents while trick or treating." But ICE officials have not confirmed the alleged incident. Federal authorities said their agents had been "boxed in by agitators" and only used tear gas after warnings were ignored. No credible evidence has yet surfaced to support Pritzker's claims.Incredibly, the Healthy At Any Size Influencer Pritzker called ICE operations an "imminent threat," like they're terror attacks being conducted by law enforcement.
Democrat Governor JB Pritzker says he has sent a letter to DHS asking them to pause immigration enforcement operations over Halloween weekend: "There is no imminent threat that should disrupt the children's holiday." pic.twitter.com/UVxBQA0vlh

FBI Director Kash PatelVia Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, the terrorists were arrested in the Noted White Supremacist Bastion of Dearborn, Michigan.
@FBIDirectorKash This morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend. More details to come. Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.
Four senior law enforcement officials familiar with the case said the FBI in Detroit apprehended a group of young individuals into custody today who were plotting some form of attack with a possible reference to Halloween. Those officials say the group has a nexus to some form of foreign extremism, but did not say if it was ISIS, Al Qaeda, or some other similar ideology. Officials stressed there is no current threat to the public, One official says some of the arrests occurred in Dearborn and Inkster, Michigan.Oh, let's definitely stop deporting illegal aliens on the Not-Holy Day they plot to murder us on. On a lighter Halloween note: Trump and the First Lady handed out YUGE Hershey bars with gilt edges to trick-or-treaters last night.
President Trump returned from a five-day trip across Asia just in time to host hundreds of costumed children for Halloween at the White House on Thursday evening, greeting families on the South Lawn with chocolate, handshakes, and plenty of laughter. With the U.S. Air Force Strolling Strings performing "Thriller," President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump emerged under the South Portico, surrounded by pumpkins, hay bales, and autumn leaves. The evening drew a crowd of military, law enforcement, and families, along with administration officials and their children -- many dressed as superheroes, princesses, and classic Halloween figures. Trump delighted the crowd, chatting and joking with the kids while handing out commemorative chocolate bars stamped with the presidential seal.
Only gilded jumbo-sized candy bars for Donnie Two-Scoops.

I don't know if you're history buffs like I am, but Adolf -- Hitler, I mean -- became bitter and radicalized when he failed out of his chosen occupation of being a McDonald's fry cook in Vienna.

Halloween seems like it should always fall on a Friday but it rarely does. It falls on a Friday, by my rough calculations, about one in seven times. Weird.

Buick's LaCrosse in my year (2016 ) had a hybrid model, or whatever eAssist is. I never saw one for sale used -- I guess people hang on to them. The ICE engine in it is the 180-hp 4-cyl. that I found anemic in the Regal, so I wanted the V-6 model. Which I have. It returns amazing fuel mileage for such a big car: on ethanol-free gas on my IN trip, at 70 mph w/ A/C on, it clocked 34.7 mpg.

Actually, the Village parade is one of the few events that started as almost all-gay and was later coopted by straights. The "parade" started decades ago in the Village -- then a homo hotbed -- as a small gay gathering on Halloween. It wasn't really a parade.
Over the years, it's turned into a major event, probably the largest Halloween event in the country if not the world. There are tens of thousands of people in costumes and million+ spectators. It's insane. I've gone a few times myself.

At 1 minute in the clip, the left's Joe Rogan, Jennifer Welch, recounts how a homeless bum was masturbating, and reached completion when he saw her. She liked it and took this as confirmation that she's still got it.

Such gilded excess in the name of naked propaganda is particularly distasteful and tone-deaf in the current moment.
ICE and CBP goon squads are disappearing people into concentration camps
The Republicans have shut down the government in the name of punishing migrants and in so doing will starve the Americans they claim to love so much
The government has assaulted the neutral press by eliminating public media to ensure only pro-administration propaganda gets published
We're engaged in a campaign of military assassination on the high seas
Trump is working to destroy the climate by ruining international cooperation and regulation on which the future depends.
It's gotten so bad that people throughout the world are weeping with hunger pangs as they cower under the multi-stranded lash with which Trump is whipping them while he boils their oceans makes acid rain down upon them - and he hands out gilded chocolate bars to the children of cronies for a photo op.
It's revolting.

Indeed!
And if I could get the whole "total Biblical Angel" package with the "make everyone cower in terror" aura, I'd be totally down for it. Doesn't every single angelic appearance in the Bible come with something like "don't be afraid!" as the first words?
Sadly, I don't think I can get the whole terrifying angel aspect down.
It would totally rock as a costume though, if I could. Being the Archangel Michael about to lay some smackdown on Satan? Gotta be worth a few full size candy bars....

Buy any can of compressed shaving cream. Barbasol menthol was the preferred can of the day, since it was cheap and the cream really stung when it hit your skin (bonus damage!). Take off the large round spray top. Replace it with that tiny spray nozzle from an aerosol can like oven cleaner or insect spray. The key was to replace the big nozzle opening on the shaving cream can with one that was designed to shoot thin streams.

I have to disagree with your overall philosophy there. Doing the absolute raw bare legally required minimum of feeding and sheltering your kids doesn't make you a good parent or even cover the job of parenting.
But I think the point here is that a lot of people here, including myself, were physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually abused by our parents. In spades. For years. And in some cases, wrapped in the guise of good Christian parenting (no shit - I had plenty of pointless beatings getting scripture quoted at me, use a rod, obey your parents, honor your father and mother, etc). You give a narcissistic abuser religious sanction to justify that they can do no wrong and you can do no right...holy fuck.

I dressed up and went trick or treating as a kid; it was fun. Last time i remember dressing up was in high school for marching band; we marched at a game in halloween costumes rather than our band uniforms; that was fun.
College for me was working full time and failing at dating; somewhere along the line i started being annoyed by people my age going nuts dressing up and decorating for this holiday.

Family can be assholes. To this day there are some family members who think I haven't had a job in years. All because I didn't take over the family business to pursue music. I always had a job. When music was great, that was the job, when it started to falter I had backups just in case. Lots of backups. There's a dozen different trades I can do and do well, but in their eyes I don't have a job because I was never just a number with bosses in the same building for 40 years. They can kiss my ass.

It's sufficient parenting. Not good or bad. It does cover the job.
I had good parents. I try to be a good parent, and I do love my kids. But that is not a requirement. Parents are required to do certain things, and loving their kids just isn't one of them.
I hear far too many people try to explain their flaws because dad never came to their baseball games. My dad loved me and never went to a single rugby game, or school event, or anything like that. He was too fucking busy and tired from earning a living so we weren't starving in the dark.
This isn't to excuse horrible parenting - just to say that we have vastly expanded the definition of that in my lifetime.

And if you want to vary the shots, do that quick cut thing that everyone does. Also: churn out some shorts. Like 30 seconds of "my top ten christmas movies" or some dumb thing. You can do those eve more easily - no talking head required. Use Canva or something, use movie posters/cover images and do a voice over. Good luck with this and with the job search.

THE MORNING RANT: Periodic Roundup of the EV Follies – 10/31/2025
Ford’s management shows wisdom in shutting down Lightning production. The electric pickup never sold well, suggesting its launch was a terrible mistake. Additionally, the U.S. EV market is dying and will not bounce back soon. The $7,500 EV tax credit expired at the end of the third quarter.[h/t to Ace of Spades reader “Tad P.” who not only emailed me this headline, but his subject line also properly referred to the F150 Lightning by my preferred moniker, the “F150 Conflagration.” Good job, Tad!] The F150
F150 is still selling like crazy. In fact, Ford is re-allocating pretty much all of its workers who had been assembling electric F150s to a nearby plant that produces ICE F150s.
“Ford F-150 Lightning Production Halted Indefinitely After Supplier Fire” [EV.com – 10/24/2025]
Ford plans to boost F-150 output by 45,000 units in 2026 through workforce redistribution and plant upgrades. Roughly 1,200 [Rouge Electric Vehicle Center] employees will transition to the Dearborn Truck Plant, supported by 90 new hires at Dearborn Stamping and 80 at Dearborn Diversified Manufacturing. The Kentucky Truck Plant will also add 100 employees to raise annual production by about 5,000 units.Regarding the supplier fire in that headline, Novelis supplies aluminum to several manufacturers, and its Oswego plant had a fire that put it out of commission for a while. This is a handy excuse as to why Ford is suspending production of its electric pickup truck. But Ford is not suspending production of the ICE F150, which also uses plenty of aluminum. And coincidentally, the entire Lightning workforce is being repurposed to assemble 50,000 additional gas and diesel F150s per year. The suspension of EV production is not a supplier issue, it’s a lack-of-customers issue. I’ve noticed over the years that pretty much every time a manufacturer suspends production of an EV, the official reason is that there is a supplier issue or a supply-line problem, when the reality is that there is a glut of unsold inventory. Ford has lost $3.6 billion on its EV program through the first three quarters of 2025, with the full-year loss expected to exceed $5 billion. This comes on top of losses of $9.8 billon over the previous two years for Ford’s EV unit. The best time for Ford to pull the plug on its disastrous EV program was several years ago. The next best time is now.
“Rivian to cut over 600 jobs as EV demand flags after tax credits expire” [Reuters – 10/23/2025]
Rivian Automotive is laying off 4.5% of its workforce, or over 600 employees, an internal email showed on Thursday, as the electric-vehicle maker contends with weakening demand following the expiry of key U.S. tax credits.Rivian lost over $10 billion in the past two full years, and it’s on track to lose more than $3 billion this year, even thogh this year included nine months with the $7,500 federal tax credit in place. I am saddened about the laid-off Rivian workers losing their jobs, but it can never be forgotten that Rivian’s business plan was reliant on the government making it illegal to manufacture and sell traditional ICE vehicles, thus causing mass unemployment among legacy auto manufacturing operations and their suppliers. It should also never be forgotten that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R?) threw $1.5 billion of taxpayer money at Rivian in the hopes that it would prosper if/when his climate-alarmist friends in the Biden administration successfully snuffed out legacy auto manufacturing.
It would behoove Georgia Gov. @BrianKempGA to start trying to claw back some of the $1.5 billion of taxpayer money he threw at @Rivian before it goes bankrupt. His left-wing foray into venture socialism relied on gas-powered vehicles being outlawed by government. https://t.co/6EV9ibrmIG
— Buck Throckmorton (@BuckThrockmort) October 23, 2025
Rivian has agreed to settle a 2022 class-action lawsuit by paying $250 million to some shareholders who had alleged the electric vehicle maker defrauded investors over vehicle prices when it went public, according to a court filing on Thursday. The lawsuit claimed that Rivian during and after its blockbuster 2021 initial public offering concealed that it had underpriced its EVs, leading to unpopular price hikes later.Rivian is burning so much cash that another $250 million out the door further accelerates the day that checks start bouncing. But this lawsuit is also kind of preposterous in that anyone investing in a start-up EV manufacturer with no customer base and reliant on government outlawing its competition, is an investor who deserves to lose his investment.
General Motors will record a negative impact of $1.6 billion in its next quarter after tax incentives for electric vehicles were slashed by the U.S. and rules governing emissions are relaxed.This CNBC piece also states that GM has an ongoing “reassessment of its EV capacity and manufacturing footprint.” I can help. Whatever the current “EV capacity and manufacturing footprint” is, that is too much. Eliminate it. An otherwise good quarter for General Motors was ruined by its EV red ink: “GM Profit Down 56% As Revenue Holds Steady During Q3 2025” [GM Authority – 10/22/2025] GM’s profit in Q3 of 2025 was $1.3 billion. Its profit one year prior was $3.0 billion (or $1.7 billion higher.) Pretty much the entire difference this year was the massive $1.6 billion EV charge off.
General Motors' BrightDrop electric delivery vans are no more. The automaker made the decision to shutter production of the commercial vehicle at its CAMI Assembly plant in Canada and announced the news on Tuesday alongside its third-quarter earnings. According to GM, the reason for the shutdown is "much slower than expected" development of the commercial electric delivery van market.“…slower than expected”?? Frankly, the failure of this awful product is exactly what I expected. Had any of GM’s executives or directors asked me about the prospects for this abomination rather than following the instructions of Klaus Schwab, there would be no surprises about the demand that never developed. Since it’s hard to keep up with all the failed EVs that are being discontinued, Car and Driver magazine has helpfully put together an article documenting them all: “Here Are All the EVs That Were Canceled or Discontinued; As demand for EVs cools in the United States, several electric models have been killed off after just a brief time in the spotlight” [Car and Driver – 10/26/2025]
One of the futuristic features of many EVs is that the door requires electrical commands to open rather than opening via the mechanical action of pulling the inside door handle, an action which also overrides the door lock on cars with traditional mechanical handles. Relying on an electrical command to open a door means that when there is a loss of power, the driver can get locked in.
Similar tragedies have struck Tesla models in Germany, Canada and the US, where crashes left victims trapped inside burning cars after power failures disabled the doors.It’s not just after crashes that people get stuck in their EVs because the door won’t unlock: “Arizona Man Was Trapped in Tesla on a 100-Degree Day” [USA Today – 8/02/2023]
An Arizona man told a Phoenix TV station that he was trapped inside his Tesla Model Y during a 100-degree day with no knowledge of how to get out. "I couldn't open the doors. I couldn't lower the windows," Rick Meggison, a 73-year-old resident of Peoria told ABC-15. "The computer was dead, so I couldn't open the glove box. I couldn't open anything." Meggison said his lithium-ion battery had plenty of range on it, but a 12-volt battery inside the vehicle that powers the items that weren't running was dead.Now that the Trump administration has eliminated almost all market-distorting government influences on auto manufacturing, it sure would be nice if someone would start building cars with fewer electronic gimmicks, focusing instead on analog controls, an absence of lithium batteries, and good old-fashioned, manual door handles.

Suggesting. Suggesting? Usually when you spend billions on a highly-pimped "this is the future" product, and the product sells so poorly you cancel the whole fucking stinking thing after only a few years, that does more than merely "suggest" the product's launch was a terrible mistake. It proves the launch was a terrible mistake.

But there is no argument for an electric pickup at all, and the Ford implementation of it was just execrable. It's one of the very worst automobiles ever created - I'd rather have it than a Trabant or Wartburg, but not a Yugo or even a Lada.
I'm not quite savage to say "the wrong Farley died," but the Lightning is a solid argument for the Ford investors who I'm quite sure are saying that.

A guess I have is that they all succumbed to the lure of "secret knowledge" from government sources, such as being assured that all governments were about to ban IC trucks and autos. Whereas anyone standing outside the system could look at that and see that this was a completely ridiculous proposition, and that any government that tried such a thing would fall. But no, Auto execs decided to jump in the boat and sink their own companies right along with everyone else.

Eh, probably not. EVs are niche market, but a real one and there's probably a place for the GM juggernaut in it. But a small place, justifying a small division.

I was in Spartanburg earlier this week, and took the BMW plant tour. It's manned almost entirely by bright orange robots built by Kuka in Germany. They twist and twirl and swing around metal components weighing 100s of pounds, with the grace of a ballet dancer. It's almost impossible to believe what you're seeing is real. If I saw this in a vid, I would think it was CGI.
Probably 95% of the car is built like this. Humans do almost nothing other than ensure the material bins for the robots are stocked. In some more advanced factories, like Porsche in Germany or Lambo in Italy (build by Audi), even the restocking is handled mostly by robots.
Well ... if the robots build the cars, who builds the robots?
If you're ever near Spartanburg, I highly recommend the tour. I tried to find a good vid that shows the robots in action, but there seems to be none available. The tech is highly secretive, so I'm not surprised.

Go and look at Jaguar's website, and all they are selling currently is a lonely SUV model. Nothing else. A marquee name does not survive when all the factories shut down and make nothing, much less any dealerships. My prediction is that given market conditions, the new All Electric models will never be launched, and the few fragments left of Jaguar will be transferred to other companies held by Tata. Of course they may trot out the name every so often, just for branding purposes; but that will be all.

That isn't going to happen. Not the analogue controls part, anyway, in large part.
All of those switches and dials are software now. The physical stuff like door locks and handles needn't be fully electric and shouldn't be, but things like the air conditioning, lights, wipers, etc. are all networked and don't have direct connection. There are some pretty good reasons for that.
It also isn't new. I'm increasingly of the opinion that automotive engineering may have peaked in the late 90s or early aughts. There were enough electronics to make everything work really well and efficiently and flexibly, but it was still serviceable and wasn't locked-out and DRM-protected to hell. You could still usually replace parts and fix things and there weren't so many electronic controls and components that it jumped the shark in terms of system complexity.

That has been much more recent, but the level of electronic integration and connectedness has made it possible. But I don't blame the excessive amounts of software and programming and radios for the development. They were there, and the executives found a way to ... ahem ... "monetize" it.
BMW is egregious in this regard. Most of what they build is top-spec because it's cheaper to assemble one or two variants even if it means they're assembling everything with every option. Manufacturing is so much cheaper that it still works out. That's cool. Good industrial efficiency and customer wins.
Except that the customer doesn't win, because he has to pay a subscription to turn on hardware BMW put in the car but won't let him use. That is bullshit. The customer paid for that hardware.

Not gonna happen for a million reasons, the primary one being that buyers want this shit, and are willing to pay for it.
That might not be true in the future, but right now buyers are giddy for as much electronic and digital stuff in the car as they can get. In almost every instance where a digital option is available to replace an analog one, the buyer chooses the digital option.
Some of the newest and most expensive vehicles have entire dashboards that are one yuge touchscreen.
People want driving aids and the advanced "self-driving" tech. They want screens and moving icons and flashy tech. In a few years, the passenger-side touchscreen will be in almost all new cars.
This trend will continue for the foreseeable future. There's no turning back now.

True, but the 80s tech wasn't ready yet, and after the initial buzz wore off, buyers recognized they were essentially alpha testers. The tech is 100x better now, and can do things the 80s tech couldn't dream of. Some of the stuff is indeed useful and clearly a step forward from analog.
A few companies are toying with the idea of stepping back from digital, but the reaction has been "this sucks." Bentley has a rotating dash feature where you can hide the touchscreen. I've tried it; it's more trouble than it's worth. Ferrari doesn't have touchscreens in some new models. It's a disaster. Etc.

Parking sensors are superior to backup cameras, in my opinion. Audible cues during maneuvers that don't take eyes off mirrors and windows are great.
I hate blind-spot detection. Every one I have encountered thinks the "blind spot" is big enough to comfortably hold a couple of buses. I am not a crazy aggressive or cut-it-close kind of driver, but those blind-spot detection systems were designed by ninnies.
Adaptive cruise control is cool, though.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at October 31, 2025 11:46 AM (kBSKe)
What you do need a subscription for, however, is to use the company's wireless network service to remotely turn on the car and activate the heated seats. That involves apps, cell and digital networks, and the company's cloud infrastructure. That's not a feature "built into" the car.
I don't like paying for that either, but that's not the same as buying a car and not being able to turn on heated seats without a monthly fee.

Yes, it is.
The heating elements, control mechanisms, interlocks, etc. all already exist. They are built in, just turned off and disabled you can't use them unless you pay more to use what is already there. That the company has to stand up a major IT infrastructure to handle the on/off call is beside the point. They wouldn't have to maintain that infrastructure if they *weren't* rent-seeking in the first place. They would just turn it on at the factory and ship it.
And yes, OTA updates are a thing now, too - but that infrastructure is needed for that anyway and it is paid for through savings at the service department. Exploiting that infrastructure to enable rent-seeking and then blaming the costs to run it in order to justify the rent-seeking is bullshit.

Parking sensors are superior to backup cameras, in my opinion. Audible cues during maneuvers that don't take eyes off mirrors and windows are great.
I hate blind-spot detection. Every one I have encountered thinks the "blind spot" is big enough to comfortably hold a couple of buses. I am not a crazy aggressive or cut-it-close kind of driver, but those blind-spot detection systems were designed by ninnies.
Adaptive cruise control is cool, though.

I once hated blind-spot detection, but the newer systems are more advanced and useful. In places with a lot of traffic, the detection does help to warn you of idiots doing idiotic things.
Most cars have backup cams and parking sensors. The future is 3D overhead views of the car that are so realistic and accurate you'd swear a film crew is on a crane above you. A few cars already have this, but it's an expensive option.

I bought an electric range from Amana. Good product. Now the original warranty is about to expire and they want to sell me extended coverage. Not for a one time price, but for a subscription of $9 a month. In perpetuity, for as long as I want the coverage. Depending on how long I live, I could end up paying more than the price of the range.

Yes, and it's BS there, too, if you actually can't use it without the subscription. I get the subscription thing for Peleton, because there is value there. Real-time classes, special "course" configurations, tuning to your usage, etc. But if you don't see the value in that or think it's too expensive and just want to ride but it still won't work because there are no unlocked local controls (I don't know if there are or not, as I don't own one), then that crosses the line into rent-seeking bullshit.

The software used in most vehicles is very similar and pretty unsophisticated for what it does. Thieves were able to reproduce the keyfob tech to open, and then steal Kia's by the thousands not long ago.
Then someone figured out how to steal a vehicle more complicated than that by tapping into the "network" by plugging a laptop with software on it into the vehicle's headlight fixture. Tap a few keys, open the door and do a remote start. Drive off.

That is a service charge. The equipment is *mine.* If I choose to subscribe to services, cool. But locking out core functionality by choice in order to extract more money from the customer is still a load of crap. The two things - remote control services and subscriptions for fixed hardware enablement - are not the same, even if they share a common delivery infrastructure.
One requires real-time support and access. The other requires a software "switch" to be flipped to turn on stuff that exists in the vehicle. I can use my phone without a network connection to use software I have locally installed. The phone doesn't suddenly say that some blocks of local storage capacity or processor cores or parts of the screen or whatever are unavailable if I don't pay Samsung a monthly vig.

It depends entirely on initial configuration.
You can pay the dealer up-front and they turn it on and it stays on. If you don't, you can turn it on later and pay a subscription. Either way, it is an upcharge for kit BMW installed at the factory. You get to choose the depth and vigorousness of your butt-pounding, but not whether you receive one. Every BMW shipped has heated seats, even if you don't get that package or whatever. The payment is to turn it on, since they decided they just couldn't bear putting a "premium feature" on every model just because it saved a bundle on supply chain management and assembly.

I agree. And hybrids are a lot smarter and more useful than pure EVs. You have the advantages of both, although is usually more expensive as a result. Prius are a really successful example of this idea, largely ruined by how they are generally owed by self-promoting leftist twerps.

Well, if EVs are so much better, they will take over the market without incentives. That is how the marketplace works. If they are so clearly superior, they will win out.

Yes, but the left doesn't believe in the free market, the intelligence of the general public, or the strength of their own ideas, so they force the ideas upon everyone by the power of the government.
Turns out that incandescent light bulbs really are a poor choice compared to new tech, but the left didn't believe that anyone would figure that out, and forced crappy inferior choices that cost a lot more on everyone through law. Eventually everyone would have gone to the newer bulbs on their own but it would have taken too long, I guess.

Buck,
No mention that the subsidies continue ever after the tax credit is gone.
Does anyone know how much Tesla makes on each car selling CAFE credits? That is another subsidy but instead of coming from tax payers, it comes from ICE buyers.

Buick's LaCrosse in my year (2016)had a hybrid model, or whatever eAssist is. I never saw one for sale used -- I guess people hang on to them. The ICE engine in it is the 180-hp 4-cyl. that I found anemic in the Regal, so I wanted the V-6 model. Which I have. It returns amazing fuel mileage for such a big car: on ethanol-free gas on my IN trip, at 70 mph w/ A/C on, it clocked 34.7 mpg.

If you're talking about the one I'm thinking of, the problem was that one pilot was commanding the nose up and one was commanding nose down after the pitot probe had iced up so the FMCS couldn't fly it.
The inexperienced pilot in the left seat didn't realize that the aircraft was in a stalled attitude and so kept commanding pitch up because the indicated airspeed was over Vne and the more experienced pilot in the right seat did recognize the stall, so was commanding pitch down, but the left seat always overrides the right seat or some such.
The problem with highly automated systems is that they can have surprising behaviors that you may have to figure out on a moment's notice. Or you die.

The EV that caught fire in Syracuse, NY, was identified as a Tesla, although it clearly isn’t one.
The driver who burned alive? That incident involved a Xiaomi SU7 in China—a vehicle recently introduced and not yet sold in the U.S.
And the “Arizona man trapped in his Tesla on a 100-degree day”? Yes, that was a Tesla—but the car has a manual door release, which the 73-year-old driver apparently couldn’t locate.
Is Tesla at fault here? Maybe, maybe not—but that doesn’t seem to matter. The goal is simply to attack Tesla and spread misinformation, for reasons best known to the accuser.

"...My Daughter has a Tesla and likes it... Got it a year ago right before the election... Of course they have gas cars for any long distances.. "
Why do they need a gas vehiche for long distances? Have they ever even tried to do a long distance trip with their Tesla? Or do they assume that is going to run out of juice before they arrive at their locations? I travel from DC to New York a few times a year to visit relatvies and I see Tesla's on the highway all the time doing. I see them at rest stops recharging (you can add 200 miles of range in 15 minutes). People have to stop to rest anyway, at least every two hours of driving to rest, take a leak or whatever, so what's the concern?
Posted by: DominicanVoices at October 31, 2025 01:28 PM (9IJFs)
"Glenn Howerton (Dennis Reynolds on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") has an amusing story of his own Tesla follies. He parked his car in an underground parking garage and it lost power or something. He was not locked inside the vehicle. Instead he was locked out of it. Because it was underground, it couldn't connect to the wireless network in the region. It took him about three days to get that car out of the underground parking garage when all he needed was a bit of juice."
That's not what happened. The problem with Howerton’s Tesla Model X was caused because the key fob failed in an underground garage with no cell signal, locking him out—not in—and the battery never died. The ordeal lasted just over 24 hours across Friday night to Saturday evening, not three days, and the fix required a flatbed tow, not “a bit of juice.

"No mention that the subsidies continue ever after the tax credit is gone.
Does anyone know how much Tesla makes on each car selling CAFE credits? That is another subsidy but instead of coming from tax payers, it comes from ICE buyers."
These subsidies are called "regulatory credits" and they were eliminated too back in August. It's hard how much the company made per vehicles as they are not allocated in a uniform manner. It represented from 1.5% to 2.8% of Tesla's revenues and last year it represented 43% of net income in the first three quarters. They are still used overseas, so Tesla is expected to get $1.5 billion this year, but is expected to fall to about a third of that for 2026.

"I never said that the car that spontaneously burst into flames in Syracuse was a Tesla, nor did I state that the crematorium on wheels was a Tesla. But they were EVs, which is my point"
You didn’t—and I should have been clearer about that. I did say you were spreading falsehoods about Tesla because the report from Syracuse was inaccurate. That’s not a Tesla; the 'reporter' was never on-site (it’s a studio recording), and they’re merely commenting on a video apparently provided by someone else. That’s low-quality journalism, and you’re linking to it.
As for the fire in China—that speaks more to abysmal quality control there. I get it: you don’t like EVs, and that’s your right. But I have to say, you seem more focused on narrative than accuracy. At this point, I’ll assume that’s your general approach—not just in the claims I can fact-check, but in everything you write.

Looking at some of his other paintings, you can see Andrew's influence but it's not just a continuation. Jamie has his own viewpoint and imagination. I don't know if it's been done, but a comparison of the various Wyeth's art over the years would be interesting.

All DEI hires in nonsense jobs like marketing or social media out reach or what have you.
And today amazon CEO basically said the same thing. We let these people to for “cultural reasons” LOL. He didn’t say it was DEI hires of course but if you read between the lines you get it.

At least they're better than they were the last time I went job searching. The extraction from resumes is much better now. Before, I'd submit the resume and then do the inputs into their forms manually. Now, I just need to review it to make sure that everything it fine.
And, so many people using WorkDay, it's almost second nature going through that by now.
Thanks.
Also, new video up. I put the link in the sidebar.

I like giving out candy. It's nice to see kids having fun and some of the costumes are really good. Last year, I had an extremely elaborate and well put-together Wednesday Addams who obviously put great creative labor into her costume. It was definitely not an off-the-shelf item and she had some real talent.
Superheroes fell out of fashion the past couple of years around these parts. Harry Potter had a resurgence, along with more classics like vampires. It's also fun to watch the trend.
It's a fun holiday. Enjoy it if that's what you're into!

Until the girlboss power move in the final season that revealed her for a complete psychopath (which I thought was obvious from very early) was so blatant (and had her attacking white people, not brown people) that it turned off her fanbase.

Feast and famine.
When I was laid off, I spent six moths job hunting and applying, an average of 8 applications per week from damn-near entry level (I'm not) to aspirational stuff I was barely (or flat out wasn't) qualified for. Crickets across the board.
Then, inside of a single two-week period, I was slammed with interviews and three offers landed the same day. One was from a job board, one from a direct application, one from a network contact.
There was no rhyme or reason to any of it that I could see.

Dems will do it anyway if they ever get power back, I am 1000% sure they will end the filibuster if given the chance. So to be sure that they don't, I think it is a good idea to have it work for us for a change. We need to remember that we should not hold ourselves back from doing what needs doing, for the fear of a maybe dems will retaliate and do it to us They will regardless of our actions.

Wyeth's self-portrait Pumpkinhead — Self-Portrait (1972), depicting a figure in black standing in a field with a pumpkin over his head, is as self-effacing as his father's self-portrait Trodden Weed (1951), showing only Andrew's legs from the knees down. Jamie Wyeth submitted it to the National Academy of Design as a required response to his invitation to join, but it was rejected. He then submitted a half-length nude self-portrait against a dark background, securing his membership at the young age of 23.

For me, I’d say that justification would fall under violations of the Vienna Convention of 1961 (the embassy is not operational but its premises are still inviolate). Or something along those lines.
The isolationists and Code Pinkers might be surprised by my thinking. But while I firmly advocate Peace Through Strength, we should utilize DIME, and not rush to military ops as the first resort. This is one of those times. Let the Maduro regime be toppled by organic means. It will mean a great deal to Venezuela too.

Fixed Income Strategies
Here’s the maximum Social Security full retirement benefit for 2026, after the 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment, by Lorie Konish
Key Points
The 2.8% Social Security cost-of-living adjustment for 2026 will push up the maximum full retirement benefit, as millions of monthly checks increase starting in January.
Additionally, workers who are under full retirement age and claim benefits face new limits for how much they can earn before their benefits are reduced.

Bran the Crippled becoming King with Tyrion saying that the storyteller should rule us is...illuminating. Martin thinks highly of himself, and he wrote himself into Bran as the ultimate bringer of peace to the world.
Yes, it's his ending.
And the Snyder Cut is...fun. Ponderous, yes, but epic in good ways.
It's much, much better than Sucker Punch or Rebel Moon.

Is he competent? Yes, seeing as he had moderate success in science fiction before he tackled epic fantasy.
The problem is he thought he could write epic fantasy after seeing the success of Tad Williams and Robert Jordan (who suffered his own issues in that area...).

That's actually a good point. He's mentioned wondering what the tax policy of Middle-Earth was like after Aragorn was crowned king (or something to that effect). GoT doesn't read like most epic fantasy--it's mostly about horrible people doing horrible things to each other with little regard for consequences.

I'm BLOODY ANNOYED at the fact that his failure here has actually genuinely hurt the entire genre, and it's much harder to get a fantasy epic published now because of him.

The Morning Report — 10/31/25
If you’re not familiar with Democrat influencer Jennifer Welch, co-host of the popular I’ve Had It podcast, you will be, because as conservative activist and author Allie Beth Stuckey put it on X, Welch “holds the fate of the West in her hands.” On the Monday edition of the show she hosts with former attorney Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, Welch unloaded with a typically profane commentary in which she not only reveled in the politically motivated assassination of late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, but demanded that her fellow Democrats “get onboard” with this murderous agenda or else they’ll be targeted too.
I would assume that this beast, and that's putting it mildly when you see her headshot let alone hear the venom dripping from her reptilian maw and fangs, has been deplatformed everywhere. Of course that would be a completely foolish assumption given the nature of the media landscape.
Jennifer Welch Is Proof the New X Platform Algorithm Is Messing with Conservatives — It’s been more than a month, and more than a few conservatives have been complaining about a major algorithm shift on the X platform. Instead of seeing posts from people they follow or may like, the “For You” feed is serving up to conservatives all of the most hard-core leftists who didn’t take their ball and go home when Elon Musk bought Twitter.Well, it certainly seems as if some in her audience have heard what she said and took it as marching orders
A federal grand jury in Chicago indicted six people, including a Democrat congressional candidate and other local politicians, on charges of interfering with a federal agent during a chaotic protest outside an immigration detention site last month.For those who think what she did was no big deal, to date we have had ICE and other law enforcement officers assaulted and even firebombed and shot at. And it's not just some random podcaster inciting violence, it is major and minor Leftist political figures and Democrat party leadership itself that is shrieking loudest and shrillest in calling for the heads of their political enemies up to and most of all that of President Donald Trump.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, whose Day One memo had ordered prosecutors to give armed robbers a pass, has announced that he’s looking into prosecuting ICE agents.While Bragg had let a man accusing of raping a teenage girl go with 30 days and probation so that he went on a “sex-crime spree” attacking four different women until one of his victims hit him on the head with a hammer, he aggressively pursued President Trump and subway hero Daniel Penny who had prevented a crazed homeless man from attacking fellow passengers. . . . . . The move by the California state government to create the legal infrastructure for trying to arrest federal law enforcement personnel marks a major escalation that could easily tip into violence. Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has recognized the dangerous futility of local prosecutions now, threatening ICE personnel, “that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration.” . . . California, Chicago or Manhattan are no more entitled to protect their insurrectionist ‘sanctuaries’ for illegal alien criminals from federal law enforcement than Confederate forces were to shell Fort Sumter. Complaints about how ICE agents go about their work are a fig leaf that may pass muster with the type of federal district court judges that the ACLU has on speed dial, but won’t work at either a higher legal level let alone in an armed military confrontation. Sanctuary state Democrats are playing a foolish game that can only end in a civil war.With all due respect to the estimable Daniel Greenfield, it can only end in a civil war if President Trump, whatever allies he has in government and the vast majority of the citizenry stand shoulder to shoulder with him when and IF he decides to wield a terrible swift sword of justice against Pritzker, Newsom, and the Democrat Party as a whole by removing them from office by force of arms, abolishing their party and putting this insurrection down, once and for all. Likelihood of that happening is slim to none. So some time down the road, when Democrats assume control of the Executive and Legislative branches (likely by more election thievery) they will not let go and what was unleashed on candidate Trump and then President Trump starting 10 years ago and then on all of us who put him in office will be repeated by orders of magnitude. Evil never rests and on top of attempting to ensure they have absolute power forever, they will seek revenge and retribution against all of us. Trump or no Trump, and whether the MAGA movement is a force to be reckoned with or if the miracle of Donald Trump's ascendancy is merely a temporary setback for the forces of darkness and evil that have been on the march for 200 years to destroy the American experiment is TBD. IF you thought what we've experienced was nightmarish enough, the next 5 to 10 years and beyond may well be worse. God help us. On that note, and also as a bit of tease, stay tuned for the podcast where our friend the estimable Robert Spencer will join us to discuss the rise of Zorhan Mamdani and the nightmare it portends not only for NYC but for America and the wider world. Should be posting later this afternoon in the sidebar and at CJN as well as the usual platforms below. Have a great weekend, and a fun and safe Halloween for all the kids, of all ages, out there. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

Y'know, the world is a funny place. I have long had the opinion that a nullification crisis would be preferable to outright civil war, because it provides an opportunity to avoid a war. Not a guarantee, but an opportunity. Nullification can easily result in war, but it at least has the *potential* to avoid it.
I saw it happening in conservative enclaves, particularly (or acting as a trigger) in opposition to federal oppression in the areas of environment, drugs, border or sex.
I did *not* see it happening in leftist enclaves in opposition to enforcement of laws they had been ignoring for decades.
It's fascinating.

Not at all. That *could* happen, but at that point, it stops being a nullification crisis and becomes open war. It's also unlikely, since that would be a discrete and nameable escalation and nobody really wants "started a war of choice between the states" on his record. It's why nullification is a hairy problem.
It is much, much more likely, IMO, that Trump will respond with soft power. Amped up enforcement directly by federal agents (already happening) over the opposition of the nullifying government, and the revocation of cash assistance (pending) or the institution of punitive civil measures (higher taxes, special regulations, etc., for the nullifiers), which I see as unlikely at least for now.
War is always a possible outcome, but I think it's unlikely anyone jumps right to the finish line. The point of a nullification crisis the desire to avoid the war.

Personally I don't think she's up to the task, which is why she's inciting others, but I do think the left would benefit from martyring one of their own for the cause.

But they're nullifying stuff that they have no authority to nullify. Stuff which has a negative impact on every other state. This isn't going to not cause a war.

Kamala says she thought she was going to win, and went into a “state of shock” on election night when she realized she was done.
Maybe she didn't bother to read her own campaign’s internal polling.

That depends entirely on a handful of conditions, namely:
1. How many AWFLs follow her?
2. Of her AWFL following, how many are in a position - or can quickly acquire a position - to realize her desires?
3. How many men will do what those AWFLs tell them to do?
I am not familiar with Welch, but I am familiar with her type and their followings are almost entirely comprised of fellow women. Radical women can be extremely dangerous, but their power is *usually* wielded by proxy. Do they have proxies? I dunno.
But Stuckey may be overstating it. I doubt very much that Welsh has that kind of power. The AWFLs as a group very well might.

They have the right to nullify anything they please. That's sort of the point. Nobody, arguably, has the "authority" to nullify *anything* outside of the established processes of legislation and litigation. This is why the act of nullifying can cause wars. But they have the "right" to try, even in the absence of the "authority" to do so.
As to the second point, it makes war *more* likely, not less, IMO. If CA wanted to nullify the federal DOT on asphalt composition regulations for controlled-access highways, for example, nobody is going to raise up arms about *that*. They will succeed with it, authority be damned. But the risk of war is precisely because of the interstate externalities of their policies.

Senate Votes to Overturn Trump’s Global Tariffs in 51-47 Decision. (What treason is this?! - jjs)
I think the Usual RINO Supects voted to cancel Trump's emergency tariff authority for their local political purposes. (Except Rand Paul - he's being Rand.) I don't know their exact political calculations. Anyway their votes are effectively meaningless, for show only. Because Johnson won't bring this to the House floor for a vote. If it ever does pass the House due to more RINO/Anti-Trump treason, Trump will veto the bill and neither Senate nor House will get a 2/3 vote to override.

"House of Dynamite" on Netflix a couple of nights ago.
And had the exact reaction to it as did Critical Drinker, except-
CD could think of no reason why this film was made, because it literally has no resolution.
and I'm here to 'splain it to him.
Netflix intertwined itself with Obama and Big Mike which is common knowledge.
During his second term, on the 4th of July(!), Obama gave a speech where he said he wasn't worried about an atomic bomb hitting a major US city like NYC. Obama said that the US was so big and so wealthy that we should not retaliate. We should take the hit and absorb it.
I think this is what happened to "House of Dynamite", is that in it the Mary Sue Obama (he can actually shoot a basketball!) just can't decide whether to retaliate small, large, or extra crispy or to not retaliate at all.
And that's where the movie ends- with no decision.
My guess is that the original ending was Obama Influenced and had Preezy Mary Sue deciding not to retaliate, because Hell, man. We're the United States. We can take atomic missile hits all the do-dah day.
Our Netflix Betters thought that was a stupid, tone deaf ending and cut it.

This is the dangerous part of the game for the Dems. I wrote a word hole on it last week (and was wrong - I expected Schumer to blink by today, since after 30 days, Trump's administration gets much wider powers in workforce reduction). It isn't that the Democrats "care" about government workers, it's that the government workers are in fact the fabric of workaday Party operations. They aren't just a political interest group, they're one of the most important means of implementing the Party agenda, and they are extremely reliable.

A memo buried in the middle of the 235-page evidence production that Patel sent the House Judiciary Committee this week chronicles how the FBI’s Washington Field Office rifled through financial records and campaign expenditure reports producing a “tactical intelligence report” trying to link payments between Trump’s re-election campaign and a vendor named American Made Media Consultants (AMMC) to possible casino gambling.
In short, the FBI agents believed an employee of the campaign went gambling at a casino after AMMC got money for campaign work. Not exactly the crime of the century.
Putting the "October" in "October Surprise"
Remarkably, the bulletin was produced on Oct. 21, 2020 — just two weeks before the Election Day when Trump lost to Joe Biden — and it recommended taking further actions toward opening a “a predicated investigation into Federal election crimes” even though it admitted its assessments that a crime occurred were with “low confidence.”

Even the old hands on the extreme left knew and admitted the Democrats were completely and utterly fooked this cycle. Harris never had a chance, you can’t swap out candidates like that.
That was the big split. That was why they wanted to insist Biden was just fine, as it was the only chance, drag his corrupt ass across the finish line.

because they didn't know for sure who launched and well, they could just sit around and eat Domino's pizza, until the next shoe dropped.
They were going for a truly stupid, tone-deaf, ignorant of human psychology ending (Obama's Wheelhouse),

It does not matter if Usha Vance converts or not; her children are already not Hindu. Erasure of Hindu identity has been programmed. This is the tragedy of the adjusting Hindu, the pliable Hindu, the gracious Hindu. When my daughter told me in college that her best friend, a Christian told her she always prayed that she would one day embrace Christianity, I knew about this problem. Imagine in today's polite world where people are 'evolved' and have studied in top universities, they still have the audacity to speak about erasing the Hindu identity. It is a wonder that we Hindus are still standing, still proud and still holding on to our devatas and traditions.

Also, today I learned that "Hindu Identity" is akin to the Hotel California, where one may never leave.

Yes and yes - she decided to employ the Biden strategy, disappear completely, and hope Abigail gets her over the line...the Jones thing plus the "Ai debate" Reid did (b/c Hashmi wouldn't debate) also blew that up for her (her polling also dropped about 8-10 points this month)...
Rs gotta drop in line for Reid and vote him though...originally they all wanted him out and there had to be Kumbaya in the spring to keep him (the original R desired LT Gov candidate who was a shoo in got cancer and dropped out and Reid was the only other guy declared so automatically won b/c Rs follow the law here) - hopefully those same Rs turn out now for the greater good...

This is going to be the most important issue post shutdown. It’s rumored that some Republicans are already using biased studies such as this to justify extending the Obamacare subsidies that Democrats so badly want. It will end up making the ACA permanent and destroy private insurance. Johnson has said the committee is coming up with alternatives, but some in the caucus want to simply dump more money into Obamacare and continue the COVID subsidies.

So how do you explain Disney's serial failures across all properties (except Lilo and Stitch, the odd man out) for years, including well before Trump's resurgence?
It was too woke for the population as such. Trump isn't why. It's because nobody likes your crap.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at October 31, 2025 08:44 AM (kBSKe)
So am I. For months I kept telling anyone who would listen that the Trump RNC was different and had learned about the Democrat cheat and how to combat it. And they did. There was still some low level cheating but it wasn't nearly enough to prevent Trump from winning the popular vote and all swing states.
Why do you think one of the first things Trump did after being sworn in was go after USAID and other corrupt elements in the bureaucracy that helped rig elections? Why do you think Patel is going after things like Arctic Frost, the name of a kind of orange by the way, and Jack Smith?
It's not solely about revenge. It's about taking down the apparatus the left uses to cheat and rig elections. And now Republican states all across the country are redistricting. Things are changing. For those who really know politics.

As it was presented, the math didn't work. At least in the one I saw. What it really said was that 59% of illegals were on EBT, not that 59% of EBT recipients are illegal.

But the Left *is* making its move, right now. They’re not as strong as we make them out to be. One part is this idiotic government shutdown, which they thinks helps them but won’t. (Trump is wrong to call for an end to filibuster rules). The second part is them going hysterical about illegal aliens - because obviously they know that is their only path to retaining power.

Things never stay the same. We were all here for all those things and look how the country reacted. The Republican Party is almost done with its remake as a populist nationalist party and the Democrat Party is in the midst of its own civl war and the radicals are winning. They are loud and noisy but not that numerous with a relatively small ceiling.
Take a look at what is going on on college campuses across the country. All of these young people were also here for everything including Kirk's murder and they are overfilling arenas supporting our side. These aren't the college campuses of even a few years ago. These are smart, engaged, energetic young people who will help make up the new base of the party.
The left had a huge head start and has been dominating us for years but that doesn't mean they will forever. We are only just beginning to fight back but we are winning huge battles and they know it.

I think you are correct. I may have conflated that with the data that shows that more than two thirds of total EBT spending is on foreign born people.

Again, look at what is happening on college campuses. TPUSA chapters are surging and so is membership. It has more than doubled since Kirk's murder.
If they expected to silence us by murdering Kirk it backfired in spectacular fashion. All you have to do is watch a couple rallies like the one the other day at Ole Miss to see the unstoppable enthusiasm for a return to conservative values on the young vote. That has been the domain of the left for decades and it is slipping away. Young people don't want the world the left/uniparty has created for them and they won't accept it.

The most dangerous people in our country today are in the judiciary. These unelected judges are what the Framers and Founders most feared. They are not answerable to the people, and their rulings are anchored on politics not law. The constitution is very clear on the role of the judiciary, and their powers do not lie in any of the actions or views they express today. They have become a fifth column of authoritarian tyrants, determined to subvert our government from within. Until Congress realizes they are usurping the people’s power and decides to finally start impeaching and removing them, this will not stop. We are overrun with cowards and caitiffs too afraid to act when they must.

But they are supposed to be essential workers, why are they on food stamps?
My guess is some of the illegal workers are not on it, but they also bring with them their extended families, who are on SNAP ad other benefits. Biden was covertly flying them in to Hinterlands USA for four years, and leaving the cartels to bring a steady flow across the border unchecked.

Occasionally lefties will argue its Trumps fault because he didn't bring prices back down but Bidenflation destroyed about half the value of the dollar.
Absent significant deflation, which is rather unlikely to happen, prices are not coming back down. Trump stopped their further accelerated increase but this is the price we all collectively have to pay for allowing a Democrat to assume the title of President

The position suggested they were locked in combat at their death and burial.
Unearthed in Montana, the “Dueling Dinosaur” fossil included Triceratops and a small-bodied tyrannosaur.

It never really did...All Saints Day and All Souls Day are the back-to-back religious biggies. it's like saying Christmas Eve has the religious basis...but that's really Christmas...
The actual trick or treating did originate from a religious practice by the UK for All Soul's Day. The poor would go door to door offering to pray for the deceased of the house and asking for soul cakes in return. And thus trick or treating for treats was born...
Jack O Lanterns have a similar religious practice start.

If they expected to silence us by murdering Kirk it backfired in spectacular fashion. All you have to do is watch a couple rallies like the one the other day at Ole Miss to see the unstoppable enthusiasm for a return to conservative values on the young vote. That has been the domain of the left for decades and it is slipping away. Young people don't want the world the left/uniparty has created for them and they won't accept it.

I'd go further.
Nobody for whom a majority of their income is from government sources should be allowed to vote. This includes, obviously, government employees and contractors for whom a majority of their income comes from government contracts. It could go even further and be classified as "anyone with a net-negative tax burden shall not vote," but that would be much harder to work out.
But if most of your income comes from the government, you're voting for a living and it represents insider dealing. It should not be permitted, at least not at the federal. The states and localities can make their own rules, but I'd support it at those levels, too.

Hindsight is 20/20 Jack. You are completely missing the point.
The perception, rightly or wrongly, is that leftists have been stealing elections large and small for decades, and increasing in frequency and severity in recent decades, culminating in what many believe to be an outright stolen election in 2020.
Given all of that, it is not unreasonable to suggest that most people were skeptical about Mr. Trump’s chances in 2024. Not in the genuine ballot. See the difference?
No sane person believed Biden or Harris had any chance at winning a free, fair, and legitimate election at any point in time. No chance. The leftists knew this implicitly and said so. The media has a vested interest in drumming up viewers.

Of course I see the difference and it's not hindsight and I'm not missing the point. You are.
Far too many people get caught up in the idea that what happened in the past is a prelude to what will always happen in the future. They refuse to look at new information and new facts and make a judgement about how the future might be different.
If things never changed we would all still be living under a king as feudal slaves. But history does not show that at all. It shows that a group of bold people who fully understand the situation they are in and are willing to fight to make changes for a new future happen all the time. And that is exactly what happened in 2024 and is continuing to happen all around us every day.
The country and government today are fundamentally different than they were even a year ago and it continues to be reshaped. We are not doomed to live as we did if enough people fight back and we finally are. And we are winning.

Suffice it to say that, although mine was not PHYSICALLY abusive, I had a considerably EMOTIONALLY and PSYCHOLOGICALLY abusive childhood (both parents alcoholics, father abandoned the family when I and my brothers were five and younger, an extremely co-dependent relationship with my mother which eventually resulted in her suicide, and I could go on and on).
And yet ... I have been truly blessed and despite the carnage and wreckage of relationships, jobs, and opportunities ... achieved The American Dream (which I thought was dead before Trump revived it, at least temporarily for now).

Jennifer Welsh & Halloween. Bingo! "Perfect together"
Honestly, never heard of her & her former show(s) on Bravo, the Real Housewives channel. (Never saw one of those shows, either.) Apparently, she had or has a decorating business in Oklahoma with only those who can afford six figures +. Then she went onto a gab session/reality series on Bravo with a now comrade, "Pumps," another woman & ex-husband but that didn't last. Now that brings us to the current AWFL podcast with lawyer comrade, Pumps, from Bravo series. 🤷♀️
Welsh is the mother of two boys, roughly 20 years old plus, and has been back living with Ex who was an attorney & has been fighting drug addiction for many years. He's 'clean' & the sons need a father. Comrade is an attorney also raising three kids with Ex. (Ergo, not feminists' feminists are they?) The past "press" includes People magazine. Welsh reminds me of an even lower-type Cecile Richards, now mort, who went onto head PPH.
The UK Guardian recently (Oct 25) ran an article on Welsh and Pumps: US politics, 'How two blond suburban moms gave Democrats an answer to the rightwing media ecosystem'

Reportedly, Welsh is moving to NY (following the sons) & comrade Pumps says she will too. Why not? They're highly usable by progressives, reinforcing AWFLs that their lives and opinions are common. And, isn't that what's going on with progressives' Maine Antifa oyster man, Mamdani, etc. - and didn't it begin, in a sense, with Tampon Tim? And then Jasmine Crockett? Even now Gavin Newsom? They're being palmed off to the gullible as Renaissance people.
Their lives, and the lives of those to which they're most attached, tend to crash so much more publicly than the norms. Who cares?

179 I know a guy supposedly a published author who does all his work on a smartphone, without a full-sized keyboard or a monitor. I said hey, you can put those on there for about $100.
Nope. He's a stubborn old guy who won't change his ways. He KNOWS how to touch type on a real keyboard. It makes no sense to me.

270 ...So I arrive and the first thing the shift lead asks is, did I bring a mouse?
"No, just a very tired gerbil."
The room was tough that night my friends.
Anyway, I assured them the platform froze due to a memory buffer overflow. I just clear the buffer, and everything will be fine. Less than five minutes later, I announce my success. Shift lead comes over and he moves the mouse around to confirm the cursor tracks like it's supposed to. Then he turns it over (this is where you recall that this is an optical mouse).
"What about this?"
I inspect the bottom of the mouse, "uhhmm?"
He points to the LED...the red LED, "It's still in alarm"
Please understand that I was sleep-deprived, and a bit loopy from the two-hour drive to get there. For a nanosecond, I thought that I was in the presence of an unsung comic genius. I was about to explode in gales of laughter, punch him in the shoulder, and surrender any claims of having any wit while in the presence of this...this...true god of comedy.
In the next instant, I realized he was serious...and the rest of the shift nodding their agreement...

I used to work at XM before the merge. Honestly, it was a fun job and it was tough to leave.
One day, I'm helping out the Accounting VP with an issue. Pretty simple fix and done in less than five minutes. Once finished, he looked at me and said "You ever get a call that makes you think 'What kind of an idiot is this?' "
I stopped my initial response because I really did like the job. My reply was "This is what I do so a lot of stuff becomes mundane to me. If you were to put me in your section and ask for a quarterly earnings report from last year, you'd think of me as stupid."

Facebook's answer to protests against the increasing amount of AI slop in its products is more slop.
Literature that speaks of times past relates how chambermaids in cities would empty chamberpots of night soil (human waste) by dumping them out of windows onto streets below. If you, a passerby, received some or all of that bounty on your person then, "So, what?"
Welcome the return of such times and practices!

I ordered a pint of "atomic pumpkin" ale with my evening meal yesterday. It was satisfying enough, as an adult beverage goes. At least it wasn't any Facebook slop straight out of the chamberpot.

I used the term 'Trumps shutdown' because the media is using that term. Of course I didn't mean it, but most Democrats are calling it that. No way are they going to blame themselves, like most politicians, the other side is always at fault.

Their CEO Kirtley also shared that their direct energy recovery of inputs is a whopping 96%. That means to get net electric power from a pulse (i.e. generate electricity) they only need to raise the average energy of the plasma (using fusion) by 5%. Since their reactor is basically a sub-ms pulsed RLC circuit they avoid nearly all the plasma stability questions by just not waiting long enough for any of that stuff to happen.
but they are not sharing a lot of other results from Polaris
Helion is in an odd position wrt results because useless government tokamak boondoggles immediately report all their commercially useless data, but Helion is a real company that could be sitting on a moderately profitable (the new electric generation market is just not all that large) idea and China is already trying to steal their tech
so we may only hear "Polaris has met its goals" and that only because funding was contingent on it
all that notwithstanding I asked them to share an emoji when Polaris achieves a net power pulse (hopefully this year)
