The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

It is difficult to be sanguine about the current Supreme Court's chaotic approach to the clear and unambiguous 2nd Amendment. Aside from the two stalwarts -- Justice Clarence Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito, the court whipsaws back and forth with competing rulings.

The decade began well, with a solid ruling in the Bruen case, slapping down New York's onerous and blatantly unconstitutional carry licensing scheme. That sent ripples throughout the country's blue, anti-gun states, forcing them to shift from the nonsensical "may issue" to a more sane "shall issue." But the fascists in the blue states promptly attacked the ruling with a series of onerous modifications to their gun laws, including vast areas of their states that were newly restricted to concealed carry, and doubling down on magazine restrictions and "assault weapon" bans.

And the cowardly worms on the Supreme Court sank to the occasion and declined to address these clear violations of our God-given natural rights to self defense and resistance to malign government.

Supreme Court Declines to Challenge Maryland 'Assault Weapons' Ban: The Supreme Court also rejected a challenge to Rhode Island's magazine ban, leaving both laws intact for now, with three justices dissenting.

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear two high-profile challenges to state gun-control laws—one in Maryland banning semiautomatic rifles such as the AR-15, and another in Rhode Island prohibiting magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

Both denials came in a June 2 orders list that did not provide an explanation for the denials. However, three justices—Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch—dissented, indicating that they would have taken up the cases.

In the Maryland case, sometimes referred to as an “assault weapons” ban, Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred with the majority in its decision to deny review, but said the Supreme Court “should and presumably will” address the constitutionality of AR-15 bans within the next term or two.


Kavanaugh, otherwise known as J. Wellington Wimpy, assures us that the court will...eventually...maybe...take up these cases in the future.

Well! I am relieved that my 2nd Amendment rights are defended by such capable people!

There is no rational reason why the court can't strike down these various unconstitutional state laws by simply referring to their own previous holding in Bruen. Only a deeply dedicated anti-gun zealot could claim that AR-15s aren't in common use, since it is the most popular rifle in America. Only a deeply dedicated anti-gun zealot could claim that 30 round magazines aren't in common use. Hell, that's what the AR-15 was designed for! And most of all, only a deeply dedicated anti-gun zealot could carefully ignore the clear link between the 2nd Amendment's protections and military weapons. Militias aren't groups of hunters on leisurely walks through the forest on deer hunts. The security of a free state is not dependent on access to shotguns for upland birds.

The 2nd Amendment protects our right to arm ourselves with the military weapons of the day. Muskets and single-shot rifles in 1791, and the closest the horrid National Firearms Act of 1934 allows us today... the ubiquitous AR-15.

In a country that respects its founding documents, that would be an M-4 (full-auto), but the idea that we must be restricted to 10 round magazines and something other than the AR-15 is simply not backed up by any intelligent reading of the Constitution.

So...do we have six deeply dedicated anti-gun zealots on the United States Supreme Court? The evidence suggests that we do.

I suspect the theory that Thomas, Alito, Kav, and Gorsuch are keeping 2nd amendment cases away from Roberts and ACB is true.

Kav's explanation pushes me further into believing it.

16 Gee, do you think it's possible the Court is getting cold feet on gun rights because they know they are provoking Americans more and more with each passing day, and are planning to scuttle representative government altogether during this final phase of our conversion into an authoritarian hyperstate?

I don't know what you can say.

As long as Roberts thinks his job isn't to uphold on the letter of the Constitution, but instead-

titrate the voters preferences to make sure that progtards policies still stay in play in some magical balanced way cuz the voters voting and getting what they voted for is a terrible thing. then-

the US cannot stabilize, heal, and adapt to new circumstances.

If Roberts was found to be a tool of the Chinese, it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Think the equivalent in men in the charming, yet hardcore one night stand dude who is magically transformed into loving, monogamous BF (e.g. Wedding Crashers, Best Man)? A sort of "manic, flirty boy."

You could be right, but I think that's more an example, in both those movies, of the "magic pussy girl".

The gal who once the flirty boy sleeps with her realizes how empty his life has been and marriage to her would make his life better.

I believe making his life better is always the key component to most rom-coms.
Because it makes the girl the hero as it were.

32 Here is what I want someone to explain to me.

1. If somebody presents a gay marriage license from VA to an official in CA, the CA official is required to accept that document by the Constitution as valid. However the Constitution does not require that same official to accept a VA issued Concealed Carry License. Even though the Constitution says nothing about marriage, and does mention a right to bear arms. How does that work exactly?

2.The basis of the NFA was the taxation power in the main body of the Constitution, even though the Bill of Rights came after and modified the powers granted in the main body. Can the Taxation power be used to overrule 4th amendment rights also?

As far as I can determine the legal answer to both my questions is "Shut your mouth, boy".

35 Goes to Breitbart:

Justice Clarence Thomas: ‘AR-15s Are Clearly Arms Under the Second Amendment’s Plain Text’

To start, AR–15s are clearly “Arms” under the Second Amendment’s plain text. In District of Columbia v. Heller (200, we held that the term “Arms” in this context covers all “‘[w]eapons of offence, or armour of defence.’”…Thus, “the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding.”

In a land torn by turmoil and strife
It was painted by Pavy
Who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life

81 I enjoy this kind of painting with the wonderful use of light, detail, composition, and pose of the figures. I find the scene with its romanticized realism draws the viewer in as they notice more and more of all the subtle and bigger details of the painting. Then the questions begin: Who is the girl? What is her situation? She is clearly comfortable and at ease but not wealthy. And what happens after she leaves the alley?

Reminds me of many NC Wyeth illustrations. They show the immediate scene but the sense of what happens next is always in the viewer's mind.

Wolfus,
I read somewhere that the war in Algeria, 1954 to early 60s, really messed up harvesting the briar and it didn't come back to the same degree. (The Frogs fire bombed the area that had the most briar.) There is probably some still available but les than before. Also, What makes Algerian briar so good requires a much longer growth period and years of seasoning.

No.

It'll be 10,000 times worse than the constant howling of the lie "even the government admitted he was wrongfully deported!"

It will completely destroy any trust conservatives have that Trump has built.
It will be a total win for the left.
And he'll completely destroy any chance of future deportations.

I really fear that the Uniparty has finally gotten their hooks into just enough of the right people in the administration to stall, delay, misdirect and scuttle any further advance of Trump's agenda.
And one of them is now trying to sell this deal with the malicious lie that a little retreat here will lead to big gains later.

I used to kinda care but I’ve reached the point where I give zero fucks. Very liberating to reach that point.

I'm retiring shortly before the end of the year... counting down the days until I tell them... and I don't get bothered by the stupid. The company won't collapse before I leave and they won't listen to me anyway so, whatever.

I feel like not getting bothered by things over which I have no control is something women would call personal growth.

257 The original on-stage 1964 Felix was . . . Art Carney, famous in the previous decade as Ed Norton. Jack Lemmon played him in the film with Walter Matthau re-creating his role as Oscar. Then came Tony Randall, who made the character a lot more fussy, which was even funnier.

There was a remake a few years ago with Matthew Perry as Oscar and some actor I don't know as Felix, and it was as unfunny as you might imagine. Perry might have made a better Felix if they hadn't wanted the character to seem gay.

262 Wiki on Tony Randall:

"Randall was married to his high school sweetheart, Florence Gibbs,[20] from 1938 until her death from cancer on April 18, 1992. They had no children. On November 17, 1995, at the age of 75, he married 25-year-old Heather Harlan,[21] an understudy from the production of The School for Scandal in which Randall was starring at National Actors Theatre; the ceremony was officiated by Rudy Giuliani.[22] They lived in a Manhattan apartment and bought a vacation apartment in Key Biscayne, Florida, in 2003. The couple had two children, Julia, born on April 11, 1997, and Jefferson, born on June 15, 1998, and remained married until Randall's death in May 2004.[23]"

Doesn't sound gay to me.

Wikipedia, in part, "The painting was one of a series of paintings Pavy produced after he traveled in North Africa in the 1880s. It is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1]"

It's a nice painting; again, pretty colors, beautiful detailing & highlighting. (However, posing was probably arduous and the rather fair skinned young women looks like she'd like to kick a pigeon or two.)

Would like to see the other paintings in the series & would consider hanging the current offering. Thanks.

You could be right, but I think that's more an example, in both those movies, of the "magic pussy girl".

The gal who once the flirty boy sleeps with her realizes how empty his life has been and marriage to her would make his life better.

I believe making his life better is always the key component to most rom-coms.

The Morning Report — 6/ 3 /25

BolderBoulder.jpg

Good morning kids. in the main, I am extremely pleased with the direct results of President Trump'spolicies as well as the indirect effect of them causing the Left to tear itself apart as their opposition and personal animus towards him have alienated vast swathes of the American public across the board and as a number of the links show have them forming a circular firing squad. It's a glorious thing to see them in one of the biggest gordian knots imaginable. Even they understand it is no longer an effective strategy to attack President Trump personally and worse (for them) to go after his policies when from trade to inflation, the economic outlook is growing rosier and rosier with prices falling, ditto inflation and revenue via the tariff regime and the path towards rejiggering the balance of global trade more in our favor increasing and most crucially on immigration with the latest round of barbaric assaults have shown.

The Democrats must somehow convince the American people that open borders, anti-law enforcement, pro-transsexualism continuing the drumbeat of fictitious white supremacy, misogyny and abortion as healthcare are the sane, moral and righteous things to support lest one be an anti-Democratic Nazi/fascist, etc. etc.

Newsflash: it's no longer cutting the mustard. Despite some Democrats knowing they're in deep shit and desperate, there really is nothing they can do. Here's the SHOT:

Democrat New York Rep. Ritchie Torres expressed concern during a Monday podcast that his party’s frenzied opposition to President Donald Trump could damage its electoral prospects.

Well, as much of the interview shows, Torres and his ilk are still clueless as this next quote clearly indicates;

“I feel like there’s a symbiotic relationship between the far left and the far right. The far left has no greater friend than the far right, and the far right has no greater friend than the far left,” he said. “It’s Newton’s laws of physics, right? Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. And I feel like Donald Trump produces a reaction in the form of an emboldened far left. The far left had far less relevance under Biden than it has in the present moment.”

There is no such thing as a far left and a far right. The only thing the Left and Democrats crave is absolute power. What the disagreement is is upon how far and how fast they think they can go in order to achieve their goals, and at one point can they just drop all pretense of being the sane, normal defenders of "our precious democracy" and on "the right side of history" bullshit. It's not about messaging, Ritchie. It's about your message and your intentions.

As for the Right, far or otherwise, that is normal America, the so-called Silent majority who, if Torres and his ilk have their way will soon become the SILENCED majority.

With that shot, we now have the chaser;


Jasmine Crockett Vows To Launch Impeachment Inquiry Into Trump If She Becomes Chair Of Influential Committee

No need to go beyond that headline, except to say thank God for our enemies.


And yet, despite all of the above President Trump still on occasion engages in some head-scratching moves. In particular this drive to keep the Iranian mullahs in power by thinking he can convince them to renegotiate the insane in the first place Nuclear deal.

The U.S. will reportedly allow Iran to enrich civilian-grade uranium in a proposed nuclear deal, marking a major concession from American negotiators, sources told Axios on Monday. U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff reportedly offered the deal to Iranian officials Saturday, with the proposal apparently including provisions to restrict uranium enrichment to civilian-grade 3% purity in strictly above-ground sites, and also to allow oversight from the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA), two sources with direct knowledge of the deal told Axios. Trump administration officials have previously insisted that any possible deal with Iran would not permit domestic enrichment.

Iran does not need nuclear fuel. It''s swimming on top on an ocean of oil and natural gas. It wants nukes in order to do to Israel and the West what the Egyptian illegal alien Religion of Peace Peacenik did to that elderly Jewish couple in Boulder Colorado.

The only thing Iran needs is regime change. No I do not mean via American boots on the ground. And that should've happened long long ago, but alas here we are. And who the fuck is Steve Witkoff. In one sense I understand Trump going to an outsider and not trusting a DC Foggy Bottom bottom dweller the likes of whom have burned him in the past and likely are still infesting all if not most of that town and in particular the State Dept. But Witkoff likely has ulterior motives, such as that potential deal of transforming Gaza into Monte Carlo 2 as well as having some shady dealings with the Qataris IIRC. Ugh.


In any case Psaki-Psircling back to Boulder Colorado, this is a golden opportunity for Trump to investigate and completely shut down the sources of incitement from CAIR to SJP, to a whole host of domestic scum and thugs who have a hate on not just for Jews but for America itself and have for years. Pull on the thread and the whole rotten tapestry will unravel. I'm sure beyond Soros you have the panoply of charitable foundations that have funded the poisoning of the Ameican mind for generations. It's a target rich environment. Yeah, go after Harvard but these organizations are a big part of the problem.

Knowing what that is, I decided to try it last night just to see how it would affect me. Within half an hour, I was feeling a slight buzz and within an hour I figured that I should not take this during the day unless I am staying home.

17 Trump wouldn’t do anything on Iran without Israel’s approval or at least ‘meh’ acquiesce. I’d love to see a much harder line and the IDF launch a massive attack to rip the nuclear heart out of these swine.

It. Ain’t. Gonna. Happen.

Israel barely has the stomach to fight a gaggle of subhuman trogs who directly started a war. Israel ain’t going to war against a much bigger, much richer, much more internationally influential country that hasn’t directly drew blood.

The reality is that when it comes to Iran, the strategy of both the USA and Israel is managed resistance, delay delay delay, lots of dick-jerking, and kicking the can down the road. Maybe at some point there will have to be a reckoning. But nobody has the stomach for it now.

19 HA has been following an interesting story about Starmer in the UK. A couple weeks ago someone threw a firebomb at the door of his private home, and then also set his personal car (which he had already sold!) on fire. Looks like a terroristic political attack, right? Except that they’ve arrested four suspects, and they’re all Ukrainians! And better yet, all four are young “pretty boys” who seem to be male prostitutes, and the attack is starting to look a lot more personal than political. Love life gone bad, Prime Minister?

They yell and scream and bitch and moan, they play silly parlor tricks, always trying to win on the cheap, always getting caught in lies.... so there's a strong demand for actual Opposition out there.

46 Polls say Demorats are not popular...why!? We are for: Healthcare for all, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Unions, Voting Rights. How is this unpopular?

Because we're not viewed as fighters. We don't have a leader right now or a coherent message. I think/hope that will change as we near the midterms.

Theory vs practice, probably. Anyone can promise stuff, but what is actually delivered (or not) makes an impact on people's opinions of the promisers.

We need to message more like a high school football hero, and less like the debate team members.... sad but true.

repukes are treated like white men, dems are treated like women and POC - we have to be ten times as good to be considered half as good.

Democratic policies always poll well, but not Democrats. People don't perceive us as for those things. They have other associations, which I won't get into now because it will piss people off.

Who cares about being popular? Winning elections is more important

Because of propaganda. Democrats have no media to counter the right wing noise machine that has been at it for many decades. Propaganda results in brainwashing

I'm surprised that the discovery senior members of a previous FBI adminisration, Comey, McCabe and others, intentionally hid Russia collusion exculpatory information on the FBI records keeping system, Sentinel, and then lied about it to investigators, Congress and basically us, isn't getting more coverage. At least in conservative media.

I realize Russia collusion is old news but that level of corruption is a big deal. It probably also help explain why Comey posted his Trump assassination fantasies online.

51 Court records reveal that during his arraignment, Gao was ordered to surrender his Chinese passport and remain within the state. The passport he turned over had a serial number ending in “1332.” Gao later failed to appear for scheduled court hearings on March 6 and April 24. Last Friday, federal prosecutors disclosed that Gao boarded a Delta flight from Detroit International Airport to Shanghai, China, on January 19, using a different Chinese passport with a serial number ending in “7137.”

My guess is many Chinese have double passports.

I'm not a fan of the idea. If I were a seller and got one of those, I'd roll my eyes and then go with the highest bidder. 'Cause I'm such a softie.

If the realtor knows the seller is attached to the house, it works. It’s how we got one of our houses, the seller wanted a family that would love the house as much as they did while they were downsizing. The idea of another family making memories like they had sold them.

Musk lost a LOT of money, mostly through his businesses being hurt and stock prices dropping. He was once a media darling and popular, and now he's a pariah, relegated to a much smaller number of right-wing outlets.

I'd imagine that kind of punishment sends a message to anyone one else rich and famous that working with Trump is going to severely hurt you. It's a scare tactic.

And when what they say turns out to have been completely false, they never retract, they just go onto the next lie.

189 I hope some White House staffers and a handwriting expert are looking at every official document signed by FJB going back to his inauguration day executive order signing-fest. I had a crazy thought late yesterday. What if the autopen was used to cover-up FJB's infirmities? Did his actual signature begin to significantly change as the months went by in his term? Autopen could cover that up. How many documents supposedly signed by FJB have identical - autopen- signatures? Did all FJB signatures become identical after some date? When?

Routine FJB autopen use would have allowed unscrupulous slimes like Anita Dunn to use it to approve whatever she wanted, without FJB's knowledge of the details.

In the local new commentary after yesterday afternoon's press conference, they mentioned the same state and federal prosecution division of charges approach was used on the Colorado Springs nightclub shooter. Specifically, that they used the threat of federal charges with death penalty ensured a swift plea deal on state charges (IIRC)to avoid a lengthy trial. The feds haven't said they'd charge him with something that could result in the death penalty yet, though.

I would prefer death penalty, but after watching Colorado take years to finally convict the King Soopers shooter, can understand the desire for a plea deal to make this guy go away.

— and will no longer attract “principled individuals."

“It is just so similar to the totalitarian regimes that I saw overseas in terms of making sure that the security services are doing the bidding of the political leader."

“That's why I think that the FBI is going to have a tough time attracting individuals that have that type of principled approach to government service."

244 >>Barack Obama's mother worked for USAID so yeah this stuff goes way way back...

Jimmy Carter was actually responsible for taking down a large part of the CIA operational wing because they had been out of control for many years. USAID and an army of basically unregulated NGOs were built as a replacement. Regime change and other dirty tricks don't pull themselves.

Guys like Fauci and Epstein and groups like Clinton Foundation are the public faces of evil that goes a lot deeper. That's why they are so hard to prosecute. The family has a lot of buffers, Senator.

It was not a coincidence that USAID was among the first targets of Trump and Musk.

Before the move, all of her education was taught in Arabic. As with most high school graduation prerequisites, a foreign language class was required at Maclaren. Habiba not only worked to improve her English, but she also signed up to learn German.

“People around me were impressed by my ability to learn two new languages at the same time,” she wrote in her application for The Gazette’s Best and Brightest scholarship application, “but in reality, I was struggling.”
In fact, Habiba described her sophomore year as a social and academic disaster. Her inability to speak fluent English meant she had no friends and was often alone. Since then, she reaches out to new students to make them feel welcome.

A lot has changed since those early days, Habiba organizes events that build school spirit, she started an Arabic club and participates as a Big Sister helping middle school students feel more comfortable with high school.

Valued at $1.5 billion after a $445 million investment by Microsoft, the company claimed to leverage artificial intelligence to generate custom apps in 'days or weeks,' which would produce functional code that had less human involvement.

Now they've gone cloth-off... as Bloomberg reports they had a 'fake it till you make it' strategy while having inflated 2024 revenue projections by 300%. Instead of AI, the company was actually using a fleet of more than 700 Indian engineers from social media startup VerSe Innovation for years to actually write the code.

In part, "What To Know
The Department of Education's review found that, over the previous three years, more than $30 million in federal student aid was paid out to thousands of recipients who were already deceased. These payments included both loan disbursements and grant funds.

Officials identified the problem by cross-referencing student aid records with the Social Security Death Index. They stated that the lack of real-time data sharing contributed to erroneous payments, as outdated records failed to flag recipients who had died, allowing automatic disbursements to proceed."

That's 3.18 BTU. Now, let's convert to watts...

Let's say you can do one search every 4 seconds or so. So 15 per minute, that's 900 per hour. That's 839 watts.

Perhaps the Perfesser might mention the book Around the World on a Bicycle by Thomas Stevens. He began his journey in 1884 on a 'penny-farthing' (big front wheel, small rear wheel). Volume 1 takes him from San Francisco to Tehran and Volume 2 carries him the rest of the way.

It's available on Project Gutenberg, but also as a physical book. I've had a copy for over a decade, but never yet finished it. Not because it's bad, but because I am lazy.

39 @21/FenelonSpoke: "Thanks, The old broken phone didn't have a physical SIM. It is an e-SIM."

Hopefully the battery will just die by the time you need to ship it then.

Thanks for the reminder about e-SIMs being a thing. I'd completely forgotten that was an option. I ordered my new (and first ever) smart phone with a physical SIM because I don't trust that the phone wouldn't glitch and lose track of the e-SIM credentials at some point in the future, causing me a whole mess of trouble. That and if the phone got damaged, I knew I could move the SIM to a new replacement phone and keep on truckin'.

Oh, and by the way, that phone has become quite useful for things like "reminder alarms", using Waze as a backup GPS, receiving messages and emails from dispatch, and a few other practical things. I've seen them become focus-points (even addictions) for some people though, something I will stalwartly avoid.

Apps that get yappy at me with too many notifications get "notifications" permission removed from them. I did just fine in life without those notifications before, so I don't need them now. Have to keep that in mind.

Speaking of trees talking to people, there was a project queued up and completed about eight years back at a scout camp to build a teaching area (finally), including a pavilion for instructing the scout skills merit badges (orienteering, first aid, camping, cooking, pioneering and the like). To do this would involve (gasp!) cutting down some trees.

Just prior to the start of the building, when the plans had been announced, former and current members of both the nature and scout skills instructional staff had gone on a hair shirt-donning, rending of garments, and loud wailing kick in an online forum dedicated to said camp about "those poor trees".

Rather than propose any workable alternate path, they fixated on "What about the trees?" and one went so far as to warn that "the trees would extract their revenge". A scout from my troop, who was in charge of the scout skills' program, came into this de facto wake for the doomed trees to warn those speaking of trees getting "their revenge" that they had best knock that off if they had any intention of being employed at said camp for the upcoming summer. The wailing of the banshees stopped right quick.

49 @19/NR Pax: "Looked up the potential cost of going to Netgear's headquarters to inflict mortal terror upon them."

Reminds me of many many years ago in the 90's when I bought one of the first CD-R drives (an external) from Yamaha, their CD-R 100.

It had cost me $1,000 USD back in 1996 ('97?) and it died on me just after one year, just past the warranty period. I contacted the company. They told me it would be $350 just as a bench charge to look at it to see what it would take to repair it. I got an RMA number just in case I decided I actually wanted to go through with the repair, but by that point, there were replacement drives on the market by multiple manufacturers that were priced less than the blasted bench charge from Yamaha, so I bought a Plextor and kept soldiering on.

I was sorely tempted to take that Yamaha drive to the range and put a few .50 caliber holes in it and send it back with the RMA number with a post-it note that said, "RMA THIS (you bastards!)"

But... I didn't want them to actually charge me that $350 bench charge, and they might have. :-)

Why do you need a fake Bible verse to affirm your brokenness? That means that you fundamentally accept that Scripture is a valid foundation for ordering your affairs. And yet, you reject it out of hand and refuse to accept or engage with even the most rudimentary aspects of it.

Why not insist someone fan-fic a new chapter of the Avesta or the Bhagavad Gita or the Chilton's Manual for a 1978 Chevette for you? Why is it the record of the doings of Christ in particular that you feel needs "updating" to fit your particular brand of brokenness?

Nothing is really different with AI being wrong about stuff. People who are given more authority and deference about stuff than they deserve have been wrong since the invention of speech. The question of "What is True" has the same answer now as it's always had. Discernment. Experience. Wisdom. Patience. It doesn't matter if it's an overgrown calculator or a monkey creating statements and propositions. Truth is still Truth.

I understand why people would be resistant to AI, but there are certain aspects of it that are magical and time saving.

I needed to create a dummy database for my ERP, I fed in the criteria to ChatGpt and it was able to spit out a 1000 entry database in seconds, reviewed the database, asked to modify it, and it performed the modifications and spit out the new DB in a couple of seconds.

Once my program is ready, I will take manufactured price lists and feed them into chatgpt to create the final master vendor database and subsequent db updates.

The time saved is enormous.

Long Extension Cord?

Electric Ferry Boat

doof-electricferry.jpg

An electric ferryboat has gone from Spain to Africa and back in the same day, proving decarbonization of strait crossings is possible.

The Swedish-made vessel traveled from Sotogrande, Spain, to Ceuta, North Africa-a 24-nautical mile trip-in just over one hour, matching the speed of conventional fast ferries. After recharging, the vessel returned to the Spanish mainland the same day.

GNN previously reported on the Candela P-12 electric ferryboat entering service in Stockholm's public transport system ahead of its mass-production roll out last year. In 2023, it had passed all of its performance tests with flying colors, achieving 30 knots per-hour with a battery life of 50 knots.

***

Beneath the surface of the Candela, two hydrofoils-or underwater wings-lift the C-8 above the water, drastically reducing drag and cutting energy consumption by 80% over conventional fast vessels. This breakthrough enables the long electric range needed to cross the Strait of Gibraltar-one of the world's busiest shipping lanes-for the first time.

What say you, boat-loving Hordelings? IS this actually a cool thing, or another electric fad?

Paraglider Nearly Freezes to Death After Being Sucked Up 28,000 Feet into Clouds

doof-cloud-suck2.jpg

A seasoned paraglider miraculously survived a rare and dangerous phenomenon that saw him being sucked up by clouds to an altitude of 28,210 feet (8,600 meters). Photos and videos of Chinese paraglider Liu Ge trying to keep his cool (pun intended) as he experienced dangerously low levels of oxygen and temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius (-40 Fahrenheit) went viral on social media this week. In them, the experienced paraglider's clothes and face are covered with ice, and he struggles to breathe and keep from passing out because of the low oxygen. On May 24th, Liu Ge took off from about 3,000 meters in the Qilian Mountains, on the border between western Gansu and northeastern Qinghai, but as he was paragliding, a cumulonimbus cloud appeared behind him and he ended up being lifted higher and higher, above the clouds.

'Cloud suck' is a well-documented phenomenon where paragliders and hang gliders experience a significant lift caused by the thermals under cumulus clouds, especially towering cumulus and cumulonimbus. It is typically associated with an increase in thermal updraft velocity near cloud base. Pilots who have experienced the phenomenon have reported being unable to descend in strong cloud suck, even after bringing the canopies of their gliders into deep spiral, which would normally result in a rapid descent. Because he didn't plan on going up to extreme altitudes - Chinese regulations restrict flights to below 16,405 feet (5,000 meters) - Liu Ge didn't have an oxygen mask or thick clothing to help him endure the freezing temperatures and low oxygen concentration. Still, he remained in contact with friends on the ground via intercom and was eventually able to descend.

***

Although many were talking about his flight being a record-breaking one for paragliding, Liu Ge pleaded with social media users to stop making a big deal out of it. He probably fears that his feat could have serious legal repercussions.

41 Evening, folken,

We just finished watching Hitchcock's 1956 The Man Who Knew Too Much, w/ James Stewart and Doris Day. A fine film, beautifully paced and filmed. And unlike in today's movies, you can actually *see* what is going on, even in indoor scenes.

Contrast the glop that is The Little Stranger, a weird film set in 1948 Britain. Everything in it is murky and grim, misty, and poorly lit. Except for certain indoor scenes, where the windows glare with outdoor light but the room is not lit inside, so you can't make out faces easily there either. I am beginning to believe modern filmmakers do this to conceal some poor technique or cheapness of makeup or acting or sets. Plus Ruth Wilson, talented though she is, looks something like a frog.

I would not recommend this movie.

45 16 >>>'Cloud suck' is a well-documented phenomenon where paragliders and hang gliders experience a significant lift caused by the thermals under cumulus clouds, especially towering cumulus and cumulonimbus.


This is how hail forms. Small ice balls that would melt before they reach the ground (rain) get lifted up and get another coating of ice. Rinse and repeat enough times and you get baseball or softball size hail.

60 I just saw this discussion at the end of the Paris thread, and had a point to contribute:

Napoleon had the right idea (right after the Terror) about how to control violent mobs: shoot the first 300, then you won't be able to find the second 300.
Posted by: Beverly

There is almost no way this line of thinking can be justified. Within 300 people it is highly unlikely that they all deserved to be killed.
And even more unlikely that the next 300 also deserved to be killed.
And that's without getting into what constitutes a "violent mob."
Posted by: Thiker


We had similar situation with BLM rioters and Kyle Rittenhouse. Shot 3 people, all were convicted felons, with charges like domestic battery, sex crimes with children, and burglary. If you shot into a crowd of BLM protestors during the day, who weren't rioting, results may differ, but THAT crew, coming in during the evening? I bet the world would be a better place with the vast majority out of 300 removed.

Before the cartridge era, didn't firearms require caps in order to fire? By the TG era, a lot of the old cap-and-ball pistols had been converted to fire cartridges, but surely Pepper -- who looked to be a hard forty if he was a day -- would have known and used guns of the earlier type.

Most boats I see around here have at least two outboards.
Four isn't even remarkable.

Even small inland lakes it is a good idea to have one main and a small trolling for backup.

It came with an expansion box containing a 5.25" floppy drive and a 5MB hard drive, the latter partitioned in huge 1MB sizes and acting as individual disk drive, so A, C, D, E, F, G. (I omitted the colons, sorry Bill G). It was all aluminum and had a beautiful power supply.

I started with a PC with 20MB Seagates, then 30MB (remember those RLL - run-length limited?) and eventually 40MB. I still have some of those!!

The occasion? I think I have symptoms of a mild hernia. No pain or discoloration, but it's sort of noticeable to me. I'm hoping the surgery will be as mild and that there'll be no real discomfort afterward. Anyhow, I'll see what the dr. has to say.

I'd made an appt. with the Oak Street Health people this weekend, but it's not until the 10th. If my regular guy doesn't reschedule, I'll call OSH on Wed. afternoon and cancel. Anybody ever use them?

110 When I went to Airborne School, on one of the 5 jumps a guy got stuck in an updraft. He just hung up there in the air at about 500 feet for several minutes before he finally descended.

That was no mean feat, because the military static-line parachute is designed to deliver large numbers of soldiers from the airplanes to the ground with a uniform drift (so they don't get entangled with each other) as quickly as possible (so they don't get shot in the air) with an acceptable percentage of injuries. So it's fairly porous and you fall pretty fast.

I second that to not putting it off, I noticed my left eye going for a long time and then it hit that cliff where it could no longer be corrected and it's a real pain in the ass trying to code with one eye, actually, doing anything with one eye is a pain in the ass.

I had a detached retina once. The way they fix it is to fill your eye with pressurized gas to push the retina back onto the back of the eyeball. But your eye is accustomed to focusing through fluid and it can't see through gas. So at first, you have one eye that can see and one eye that can't -- everything is just gray.

Then the eye with the gas starts to fill up with fluid over the next few weeks. Now, we're not aware of it, but the lens projects what it sees upside down on the back of the eyeball, and the nerves/brain correct it. So as the fluid starts to fill up the eyeball, it seems like it's filling up from the top down. And you get to a point, after a couple of weeks, when the eye is about half full, and you can tilt your head back and see through the top half of your eye, while the bottom half is still opaque. It take a lot of getting used to.

176 One of the more intriguing ideas I heard suggested when electric cars were becoming more mainstream (and this is something that could never be done, because people are terrible and ruin everything), was the idea of swappable batteries. Rather than try to make the charging faster, drop off your used up batteries, and pop in new, fully charged batteries.

Impractical for cars, again because people are terrible (and no doubt there are about a million snags that would need to be worked out), but it might be feasible in limited application, and a ferry might be one of them.

Oh, and 30 knots per hour, with a battery life of 50 knots? They don't quite get what a knot is, do they?

Darned if I can remember any of the lines. Then I became aware I somehow had drawn a thin line of blood along my throat and under my chin with an X-Acto knife, which in real life I don't own one of. I asked a passerby, "Does this look bad?" And he said, "Yeah, it's bad."

Then I realized it was 6:30 pm, that I had a show to do (maybe that was the reason for the MI jokes) at 7:00, and my watch had not only stopped, the crystal had come loose and the minute hand was dislodged. Then I woke up.

In the 1920s the US Navy believed it was oh so clever installing turbo-electric propulsion in battleships and battle cruisers. The battle cruisers were mostly canceled due to naval treaties. Two were modified into aircraft carriers, the USS Lexington and USS Saratoga. Saratoga was torpedoed by Jap subs several times in 1942, shorting-out and messing-up the electrical stuff. Back to a West Coast port each time for the necessary repairs. This is why Saratoga was not available for Midway, one of the carrier battles off Guadalcanal, and other missions in the latter half of 1942. Clever.

A majority of countries at the IMO (That's the UN Extortion Entity) voted on Friday to approve a scheme that from 2028 will charge ships a penalty of $380 per metric tonne on every extra tonne of CO2-equivalent they emit above a fixed emissions threshold, plus a penalty of $100 a tonne on emissions above a stricter emissions limit.

The deal is expected to generate up to $40bn in fees from 2030, some of which will go towards making expensive zero-emission fuels more affordable.

Yes, specifically when both batteries are owned by the same person or company. The whole idea of stopping at a gas station and getting a battery that was exchanged earlier by someone else and recharged could only have come from someone who never expected to use an electric car themselves.

Such a system would quickly divert all good batteries to a grey market, leaving only failing batteries in the “legit” pipeline.

Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at June 02, 2025 10:57 PM (/lPRQ)

Well, it'll be two years before I can even consider gettting it done. I hope the small incision way is the preferred method then. That one long cut hurt for a year.

226 176 One of the more intriguing ideas I heard suggested when electric cars were becoming more mainstream (and this is something that could never be done, because people are terrible and ruin everything), was the idea of swappable batteries.

You'd pretty much need a forklift and an overhead crane to change out EV batteries, they weigh about three Lizzos each. Too much cost for too little benefit. I would imagine a ferry boat battery bank to be an even bigger PITA to replace.

274 An overlooked feature of the electric ferry is that it has to spend a good part of the day in North Africa. And if there are problems with the charging, then overnight. Doesn't sound like a boat I would want to depend on.

Posted by: haffhowershower at June 02, 2025 11:32 PM (144I4)

275 "What say you, boat-loving Hordelings? IS this actually a cool thing, or another electric fad?"

The proponents doesn't really understand that having electric motors on vehicles doesn't auto reduce carbon emissions. Unless you're getting your electricity from "renewables" (Wind, Solar, Hydro) they burned hydrocarbons to produce it - you're just moving the location of the emission from the vehicles to a central plant.

Depending on where you live, on average 20-30% of your electricity is "renewables" sourced. That really can't be increased much more with current (no pun intended) tech because hydro is actually being curtailed for environmental reasons (usually an endangered species) and Wind & Solar are intermittent - so over-reliance results in brown and black-outs.

296 "In 2023, it had passed all of its performance tests with flying colors, achieving 30 knots per-hour with a battery life of 50 knots."

knots = nautical miles per hour.
Thus, there is no such thing as "knots per-hour."

A battery life of 50 nautical miles per hour ("50 knots") makes no sense.

The GoodNewsNetwork.org author is ignorant of things nautical and battery.

297 Good shop day today. Crawled under the Zip Van, and got the fuel tank lowered to the ground. It had about 3 gallons of very nasty smelling orange fuel in it. I emptied it into the burn barrel, and had a cheery blaze for an hour or so. Bottom of tank was covered in gunk. I poured in about a pint of caustic soda "liquor", the saturated caustic solution on top of a pail of what was once flake lye. Plus some crystalline crust. Added several gallons of water.

Put the tank on my redneck firepit, loaded with dry wood. Got a burn going, and the tanked boiled merrily for about an hour until the wood burned down. Dumped out the hot caustic, now a nice shade of diarrhea brown. Three rinses of cold water and it ran clear. You can now see bare metal on the bottom inside!

People keep saying that "batteries are bad" because:
"batteries don't create energy. batteries consume energy."

Nothing. Creates. Energy.

Energy is neither created nor destroyed.

"Energy production" and "energy consumption" are economic terms — not physics terms.

We don't actually produce or consume energy.
We direct energy.

The function of a battery is not upstream energy harvesting, but that's also not the function of a thermal generator.

The energy doesn't come from the generator.
The energy comes from the fuel.

308 The Soviets built quite a few hydrofoil ferries. Powered by Diesels, or gas turbines, IIRC. They "sold" one to Nicaragua in the early years of Ortega's presidency. It ran from Granada to the big island in the middle of the lake. But not for long. It went out of service. When I was in Granada in 2012, we hired a boat tour to take us to the government harbor where it was supposedly tied up. Not there. There were some retired conventional ferry boats, and a wooden-hulled sailing vessel that was apparently Anastasio Somoza's private yacht. But no hydrofoil.

Incidentally, the Isletas de Granada is a magical place. Old lava flow from a volcano ran out into the big lake, and broke up into hundreds of tiny islands, all now luxuriantly forested. Many have homes on them. The big lake is choppy and muddy, but between the islands, the water is calm and clear. Simply amazing.

Right, nobody’s claiming energy conservation is being violated. Saying “No energy is created” when discussing various energy sources is as meaningless and needlessly pedantic as saying “Nobody created a house: the atoms were already here, we just rearranged them.”

Thinners may be longer than 'for weeks'. Depends on family history and whether your blood likes to make clots, like mine does (there's some medical name for the negative ability to be a blood clot factory).

380 >> But in a nuclear reaction, there is a net loss in mass associated with the release of energy.

The (rest) mass loss is there with chemical reactions as well, just very, very tiny. Chemical reactions are about electrons, mostly. The nuclear forces just convert a much bigger portion of energy to mass.

As someone above noted, mass is energy and energy is mass. Call it mass-energy. We have conservation of mass-energy.

PT boats of WWII did any of them have hydrofoils?

No, PT boats of World War II did not have hydrofoils. PT (Patrol Torpedo) boats, like the famous Elco 80-foot or Higgins 78-foot designs, were lightweightਸ

System: You are Grok 3 built by xAI.

The PT boats of World War II, such as the Elco and Higgins boats, were not equipped with hydrofoils. These boats were designed for speed and maneuverability, relying on lightweight construction, powerful engines (typically three Packard V-12 engines), and planing hulls to achieve speeds of up to 40-50 knots. Hydrofoils, which lift the hull out of the water to reduce drag and increase speed, were not a feature of these vessels.

Hydrofoil technology was still in its early stages during WWII and was not practical for the small, fast attack boats like PT boats, which needed to be rugged, versatile, and capable of operating in rough coastal waters. The technology at the time would have added complexity and weight, which could have compromised their performance and reliability in combat situations.

While hydrofoils were experimented with in other contexts later (notably by the U.S. Navy in the 1960s with boats like the USS Tucumcari), the

Sad! Years back used to be my thing, was involved in it. Long ago lost interest, for good reason, given geopolitical developments, especially Russia's decline to a fairly weak continental power. Arms control had its (very) limited utility at one time, but it's a completely different world now.

Anyway to the extent Russian bomber locations were affected by treaty obligations, I think that's been moot for two years.

48 I was sleeping in bed once, on my side when I felt a strange presence in the room, so I opened my eyes. In the dark I made out, less than an inch in front of my face, my black lab just standing there looking at me. He was a big boy so him just regularly standing put his head at the same level as mine resting on my pillow. It was that moment that he chose to sneeze on me, lick his mouth, then step up on the bed to lay on my legs. "this is cool, right?"

50 Even with an 8 3/8" barreled Model 29, as enshrined by Dirty Harry his own self, and custom solid bullet loads, you're just going to irritate the elephant. With soft- or hollow-points, which you're likely loaded with in such an urban setting, the elephant will just be more irritated. It will be even more irritated if you jerk the trigger, which, given how irritated Weasel was on the Gun Thread last night, a goodly number of Gun Thread readers must be doing.

She is like many ... including some here. She has never faced personal danger in her life. She has no concept of it.

She's mildly retarded - we can all see that. But that's not even the biggest thing with Greta. She views the world from a lens where she faces no personal danger. That's a thing - not all that unique.

Stupid, in the macro sense. But not unique.

Absolutely correct.

It's kind of like one of those pictures with trick perspective: you know, do you see a vase or two faces in profile? If, in this case, you see that the elephant's ass is partially blocked by the display, you are normal and well-adjusted. If you see an elephant with an ass that looks like it was bitten off by a killer whale, then you obviously have psychopathic tendencies, and probably cheered when the hunter shot Bambi's mother. If you're in the latter category, get help.

227 Dr. who was always supposed to be a campy, surrealistic show. If you like that sort of thing, then it’s been pretty good from its inception for what it was. The issue is it started to take itself way too seriously in the modern incarnation.

But having said, of the modern era I’d rate Tennnet, Smith, Ecclston and Capaldi 1 to 4 in that order, Whitaker and the gay dude are not worth a second of thought or consideration.

They have GPS sensors in Wash/Oregon area and they show that strain built up gets bled out up there with tiny microquake slips as the area rotates against the rest of continental NA. They can see the GPS slide over a day or so rather than one snap.

Paris Breaks Out in Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Riots

Paris' soccer team Paris-St. Germain won the League of Champions tournament on Sunday.

Shortly thereafter, "French soccer fans" began setting cars on fire, attacking cops, and looting sneaker stores.

Some Racists say that these were not French soccer fans at all, but illegal alien conquerors using the cover of crowds to loot and pillage like the barbarians of old.

Below, you can see "French soccer fans" shooting fireworks at French police officers:

The alleged "center-right" newspaper in Paris blames cops being put into comas by fireworks on... the availability of fireworks.

Adrien Bez
@bez_adrien

Pourquoi est-il si facile de se procurer des feux d'artifice en France ?

Des centaines ont été lancés ce week-end pour feter le sacre du PSG. Un policier a meme été placé en coma artificiel, touché par un pétard.
Décryptage de @PaulineLdB
pour @Le_Figaro

Translation:

Why is it so easy to get fireworks in France?

Hundreds of people were sent out this weekend to celebrate PSG's victory. One police officer was even placed in an induced coma after being hit by a firecracker.
Decryption of @PaulineLdB
for @Le_Figaro

The cop was apparently put into a medically-induced coma in order to treat his extensive burns and injuries.

"Fusion Ken" Dilanian -- who, along with fellow propagandist/Deep State operative Natasha Betrand, was FusionGPS's main man for getting its rancid disinformation into the press -- is thinking along similar lines with regard to the pro-Palestinian Muslim illegal immigrant who set Jews on fire.

Isn't the real problem the fact that Elon Musk's company once sold some flame-throwers, when you think about it?

Note: the flame-thrower used here was a DIY "makeshift" weapon, not the one sold by Elon Musk, so... what the fuck even is this?

Ken Dilanian
@KenDilanianNBC

Worth noting that flame throwers are legal and commercially available for sale. Elon Musk's company even sold some several years ago.

Meanwhile, Scott Jennings lectures Jake Tapper and David Axelrod:

Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh

SCOTT JENNINGS: "This 'Free Palestine' movement is nothing more than a domestic terror organization right now.


"The rise in the number of people who have come to America, who hold anti-American views, anti-western views, and anti-Semitic views and are now willing to act on it."

10 During the riots in Paris last night, in many shots, there doesn't appear to be an ethnic French person in sight.

The violence and arsons appear to be nearly entirely the work of foreigners or French citizens of migration background.


They've assimilated so well, they're taking over the hooligan jobs of the ethnic French! We should be inspired to rise up to their example!

24 I asked Grok to come up with a Shakespearean sonnet to describe what happened in Paris last night -- it took approximately five seconds to generate this.

Alas, fair Paris, city of delight,
Last eve thy streets did burn with chaos’ flame,
Where joy for vict’ry turned to savage fight,
And revels wild did tarnish thy good name.
On Champs-Élysées, where the throngs did sing,
For PSG’s great triumph in the game,
The mob’s exulting took a darker wing,
With fire and riot, casting France to shame.
Two souls, untimely, met their mortal end,
And hundreds more with wounds did bear the cost,
While officers, with tear gas, sought to mend
The peace that hooligans and hate had lost.
O Paris, mourn thy night of broken peace,
May concord soon restore thy heart’s release.

78 These French riots are truly terrible. Hopefully it'll help Le Pen and the French Right gain that little bit more vote to actually seize power and start fixing shit. Thankfully, the American Left has moved from the similarly destructive BLM riots and is adopting much more embarrassing ideas:

‪@halfwaypost.bsky.social‬ BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly worried thousands of protesters will come to his birthday parade dressed as chickens and handing out free tacos to everyone.

I forgot about protesters! That military parade has had me upset but now I realise protesters can make it a great day. Especially with this type of creative TACO protest.

All anti-trump seamstresses and tailors,should start making chicken suits for the protestors. We could have thousands by 6/14!

He should be worried the military doesn't honor their oath and arrest him as a domestic enemy for his attacks on the constitution.

Actually, NO KINGS is not hosting events in D.C. on 6/14. Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we encourage you to join us in Philadelphia, or your local NO KINGS protest!!!

84 Rush Limbaugh said several things on repeat that I've never forgotten, and I was a liberal at the time I first began listening to him. One of the 1st things he said that resonated with me was "Public safety is the FIRST job of government. Don't EVER vote to approve one of those "penny sales tax raises" for fire and police departments. Public safety should be the FIRST dollars spent...have a vote for "penny sales tax raises" to see if the public wants anything else beyond public safety.

Most of the world governments are no longer focused on basics like public safety. In some parts of the US, the riots will eventually be just as bad as what Paris saw last night--some of our governments aren't serious.

93 Ace, I saw a report on this (on Rumble) that said they started rioting before the game was even played; continued rioting during it, and on well into the night.

And that this crowd does the same whether PSG wins or loses games. So, no connection to game results, positive or negative.

95 Had a friend who was stationed in Greece. When I remarked on the almost perpetual demonstrations going on (this is years back), he said the people in the front of the rally were legit demonstrators, and the throngs grew as people joined in just for the party atmosphere, and didn't even know what the people carrying signs up front were going on about.

TACO stands for "Trump Always Chickens Out", as in, backs down on tariffs and international negotiations when he gets pushback. Hence the chicken costumes as well. It's really, REALLY retarded, hence the doubling down on it.

They even got a reporter to ask Trump about it at a press briefing, and the Left collectively orgasmed over his "raging" response (he didn't rage at all, but they all repeat he did): https://tinyurl.com/5c7x2dad

Yes. This is the new thing - they claim the opposite of reality is true to comfort their mind-numbed robots.

See, Trump is caving on tariffs, which is why he has cut the trade deficit in half. By losing.

Corporations Are Feeling Less "Pride" this June for Some Reason

It's almost as if corporate "Pride" bombing was always an empty political gesture.

How is your Shame Month going so far?

PBS is shrieking that it's Trans Holocaust (TM) All Over Again (TM).

They're propagandizing your children on your taxpayer dime, of course. See the end of the post for that.

It's June, so it's natural that PBS would kick off "Pride Month" by broadcasting a completely one-sided interview condemning Trump's "horrific" actions directed at the T in LGBT. On PBS "News," transgenderism is almost always celebrated and defended. Somehow, it's not one side of an ideological battle. The Left thinks there's just glorious LGBTQ orthodoxy, and there are hateful bigots who don't deserve any air time.

Here's how Sunday's PBS News Weekend kicked off the show with openly gay anchorman John Yang:


JOHN YANG: And World Pride celebrations underway in the nation`s capital in the shadow of Trump administration policies targeting the community.

JUNE CRENSHAW, Capital Pride Alliance: The Trump administration wants us to disappear and really showing up for World Pride is a direct "No" to that request.

The half-hour show concluded with the pro-Pride package, which began like this:


JOHN YANG: WorldPride, the international LGBTQ plus celebration is underway in Washington, D.C. against the backdrop of the Trump administration rolling back LGBTQ rights and protections, particularly for transgender people. The co-creator of the ACLU's "Freedom to Be" campaign, which advocates for trans people's rights, says that makes the event all the more significant.

GILLIAN BRANSTETTER, ACLU: There is nothing that Donald Trump has done or can do to LGBT people that we have not faced before. We have to show up for one another and show that, no, the power actually lives with us, the people. And if, you know, he wants us sitting in our home, scrolling on our phones, terrified of what will come next, I think what`s important for us to do is remember that courage is contagious.

PBS is clearly part of the contagion of "courage." You can see that this year's "Pride" parades are anti-Trump, carrying banners saying "WE RESIST." There wasn't even a sentence of opposition from Team Trump or anyone else opposed to the transgender agenda.

But other corporations whose income is not forceably extracted from the public seem less "courageous."

Including 12 NFL teams.

12 #NFL TEAMS DID NOT POST LGBTQ PRIDE MONTH MESSAGES ON THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA.

• #Jets
• #Ravens
• #Bengals
• #Browns
• #Steelers
• #Colts
• #Titans
• #Chiefs
• #Raiders
• #Cowboys
• #Seahawks
• #Saints

Last year, nine teams did not post messages.


Some very large corporations have also resisted changing their corporate logos to "pride" designs:


A lot of game companies stared into the abyss and decided that maybe they'd skip out on divisive culture war messaging this year:

Here's what PBS is doing with the taxpayer money they're using government thieves to steal from you:

7 I think the pedo-pervert Pride movement has been neutered to a degree, in part because of cuts to leftwing slush funds like USAID and the billions to colleges.

But don’t kid yourself. Pedo-perverts are evil, and evil never rests. They may be less high profile in public now. They will still be just as active and dangerous grooming and destroying kids and society.

In the earlier seasons, he never claimed to be nonbinary, didn’t wear women’s clothes, and was just a gay man — and not even that effeminate. I guess at some point he decided that he was living a lie for 30 fucking years, and was really nonbinary. Yea ok. He became nonbinary for attention and career opportunities.

Perhaps with a lot of management, but there is a core in almost every corporation that is 100% committed to this insanity, and many of them are in HR, where they can do a lot of damage.

But several big parades were canceled because of lack of sponsorship as well. Basically most companies are giving up on the full in on perversion as a write off, and only a few are clinging to it. Even Target is backing off it at least in some areas.

If it were tied to genetics, it would not be a choice. That is their argument, which goes against everything they claim to know about evolution. It offers no advantage.

If it is not genetic, it is a choice. That means it is something they chose to do, and can also chose not to do. This is the reality they deny and they scream so loud about it because they need to drown out reality.

130 A modest list of some of the reasons I reject "Pride" month.
1. Pride is one of the seven deadly sins. Celebrate sin? No thanks.
2. Engaging in gay sex is a sin. Ditto
3. Even if you don't care about what the Bible says, normal people don't define themselves by their sexual practices and it is no reason to 'celebrate" someone.
4. 'Pride month' rejects the fact that the world needs traditional families to survive.
5. "You must accept Gay" quickly turned in to "you must accept trans" which quickly turned to "you must let mentally ill grown men pee and shower with your high school aged daughter", which quickly turned to "there's nothing wrong with grooming grade-school aged children".

Mateen and his dad were FBI assets, and I figure most of these guys are. My idea is that most of these dudes are pointed by our spooks in a lot of different directions, but never at the Empty Closet Lounge, and the Mateens just went off-script. A little "evening at the improv."

There's plenty of shit that's "genetic" that still isn't acceptable. Most of the world's religions boil down to lists of crap we do that's "genetic" but we aren't supposed to do if we have any interest in progressing beyond a fucker/murderer society, and we just wanted a codified system to point every other asshole at and say "see, it's not just me saying it, you actually are an asshole, and God thinks so to."

"It's genetic." Big fucking deal if it even is.

155 My company is still doing the pride thing but mostly it's internal. There was a communique that had people's testimonials about what an inclusive place it is. The common sentiment throughout was how nice it was to bring their "whole" selves to work. And that they could express "their" truth.

Ya know, just show up and do your job. No one cares what you like to stick where, so shut up.

1) Women find out how few guys are as tall as they demand
2) Women find out how much guys will lie to get laid

But I told a gay friend who was happy about the Obergefell decision that he should be less sanguine, because gays just lost their field marshal's baton in the culture war, and trannies would pick it up.

He thought I was nuts for about six months, when it started happening. Predictable as the sun rising.

Here best role was Tar, but I loved her The Talented Mr. Ripley, which might have produced the best roles for everyone in that film, although Clive Owen in Gosford Park is a revelation.
Posted by: Thomas Bender at June 02, 2025 06:12 PM (XV/Pl)

=======

She is a very good actress.

A good example would be Knight of Cups. Not because her role is great. It's small, but the production process was so fractured with almost no actors meeting each other that Blanchett being able to pull such strong moments was really something.

My least favorite Malick movie, but interesting nonetheless.

171 My late mother really liked Arby's so I took the dog there today after his vet visit. Two small, bit good burgers for $5 Canadian.

And the dog always gets a pup cup of meat.

Tim's gives him free timbits. Which he loves.

But free meat....Sweet.

Apart from the extreme far left, nobody actually cared about 'celebrating' Pride, they just did it because they would be ostracized if they didn't 'celebrate'. It's like Soviet applause, you can't be the first person to stop clapping.

But now the illusion is broken. Normies are comfortable with saying that not only do they not care about 'celebrating' it, but they find the ones that actually do care insufferable and are no longer afraid to say so.

Well there is something to that. The more a civilization degrades and collapses, the queerer it gets, not just homosexuality but overall perversion and debauchery. While it might seem repressive and not as fun to go back to the 50s sexual mores, its a hell of a lot more productive for a society and gives better structure for family and culture.

Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices to make things work. That's part of being part of a society: I give up some things so we all benefit from the others.

Almost immediately after The Mask she got near-anorexic level skinny and stayed that way. Did not look good on her. Her perky boobs, though modestly sized, went away entirely. The figure she was rocking at the Coco Bongo Club turned into a broomstick. Sad!

While it might seem repressive and not as fun to go back to the 50s sexual mores, its a hell of a lot more productive for a society and gives better structure for family and culture.

Sometimes you gotta make sacrifices to make things work. That's part of being part of a society: I give up some things so we all benefit from the others.

Its the Game of Thrones of the NFL. Paul Brown was turfed out of his own team, named for him. He formed another team to get even in a rival league that soon merged. Then the asshole who fired him moved to Baltimore to get away and the people there made a NEW Browns team to get even. The first team became the Ravens.

285 Culture is changing, man.

For the past several years, thousands of major corporations rushed to change their logos at 12:01 AM on June 1st for ‘Pride Month’

This year? It’s really hard to find a Fortune 500 corporation engaging in the ritual.


Yeah, because they don't have to change their logos anymore. "Gender" madness is ingrained in the legal system of the entire country. "Gender identity" is a legal protected class. Meaning that "gender identity" is legally recognized by the US legal system as a real thing.

Until that is eliminated and the legal system recognizes there are only two sexes and no "gender identities", this madness will continue. Every institution in Western civilization is captured and is pushing this. And they have the full support of the legal system.

CBS "News" Ditzy Dingbat AWFL Margaret Brennan Embarrasses Herself Yet Again

Once again, she brings Democrat Talking Points to a factfight and loses.

She repeatedly attempts to claim that Trump's tariffs will cause rampant inflation.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calmly points out that this dizzy bitch made the same claim in March, and inflation then collapsed.

If you come at a career business savant like Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, you better not miss. CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan hilariously had to learn that the hard way on Sunday.

Brennan tried to corner the Treasury Department head from a number of fronts on the economy, such as tariffs and inflation. In response, Bessent repeatedly made Brennan look completely foolish.

Regarding inflation in particular, Brennan whipped out a piece by anti-Trumper strategist Karl Rove (whom she dubbed a "conservative"), arguing that Walmart wouldn't be able to break even if it just ate the tariffs President Donald Trump was placing on imported goods, thereby leading to higher prices on consumers. "Before consumers, the reality is there will either be less inventory or things at higher prices or both."

Bessent was quick on the draw, and reminded Brennan that she was one of the Armageddon geniuses prophesying the supposedly impending catastrophe of spiking inflation since March, which has not materialized. "Margaret, in March you said there would be big inflation. There hasn't been any inflation," Bessent retorted. "Actually the inflation numbers are the best in four years, so why don't we stop trying to say this could happen and wait and see what does happen?"

The uninformed-yet-arrogant hack then insisted repeatedly that large corporations dependent on Chinese imports like Walmart and Target forecast the "most probable" economic outcomes in their quarterly reports. Bessent responded "Actually no Margaret," and pointed out that these reports are required by law to discuss the worst-case possibilities to apprise investors of risk, or else face lawsuit for not disclosing material possibilities. She once again insists that they're warning of the "most probable" outcomes, and I think it's pretty clear she's a bullshitter who is asking questions straight from the DNC's talking points.

Full hostile interview here.

This non-expert non-medical-doctor then repeatedly insisted that healthy pregnant women should all get the dangerous, untested covid vaccine because Biden-era "studies" insisted the vaccine was completely safe.

The Trump Administration official points out that randomized clinical trials to test the "vaccine's" safety in pregnant women had been scheduled -- but then called off, for some reason. He says he wants to see the actual science, and not just rely on "The Science (TM)."

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Fed's growth tracker now predicts a very strong 4.6% GDP growth rate in the second quarter:


I think it was the Atlanta fed that predicted -3% GDP in Q1.

It was not -3% GDP in Q1. It was -0.3% GDP, entirely and completely driven by a massive spike in imports.

27 Hmm, the trade deficit has been cut, tariffs are generating significant revenue, it appears spending will at least be somewhat static....and there are tons of investment money coming into the US.

And, if President Trump has his way, there may actually be somewhat of a dent put in medical spending, through reducing Medicare and Medicaid fraud and reducing drug prices.

About time someone told the rest of the world they were no longer allowed to live off of America.

Two points: in the time before government had a monopoly on currency, banks did inflation all on their lonesome. There isn't something special about government fiat that private fiat also has issue with.

...The cratering on leadership is directly related to the fraud Democrat leaders perpetrated on American voters over the last four years regarding Joe Biden's clear cognitive incapacity for office, which Biden is helpfully continuing to demonstrate publicly. When the entire party establishment has been exposed as co-conspirators to that fraud, or too gutless to speak out against it (with the notably courageous exception of Dean Phillips), the only real surprise in the leadership question is that the score for Democrats is as high as 19%.

Yeah its like that queer guy who keeps asking everyone at the red carpet if their movie is the "GAYEST EVER." They want someone to screw up so that their interview goes VIRAL, BABY!!!

Also, I think that with the old guard retiring and being crushed out by MeToo, the younger interviewers are of the generation that kept yelling at the TV "Don't let him get away with that! Don't let them tell their side!" Now they are in the job.

DC is like high school for old retards. The same sort of social dynamics, the in crowd, mean girls, spazzes, the whold gamut.

There is nothing, absolutely nothing, more important to them than being able to hang with the cool kids and for decades that meant Democrats. Republicans were the spazzes and nobody wanted to hang with them and the mean girls like Maggie kept their status by going after Republicans. Didn't matter if they had a clue what they were talking about, the barking seals that make up the DC crowd would clap along.

And now Democrats aren't the cool kids anymore. They don't know what to do now that the clapping has stopped.

Cynthia Erivo is addressing the criticism over her casting in the upcoming three-night production of Jesus Christ Superstar.

The Wicked: For Good star shut down the negativity around her, scoring the titular role of the Hollywood Bowl production.

“Why not?” she told Billboard about the outcry from conservative critics. “You can’t please everyone. It is legitimately a three-day performance at the Hollywood Bowl where I get to sing my face off. So hopefully they will come and realize, ‘Oh, it’s a musical, the gayest place on Earth.

Well, if you start with, "inflation is a monetary phenomenon" then tariffs cannot be inflationary.

They increase prices of good, but, assuming the supply and demand curve otherwise remain constant, it will actually decrease demand of those goods. Which is, if anything, deflationary since fewer dollars will be spent.

Specifically, it prohibits a district court from issuing an injunction unless the injunction applies only to the parties of the particular case before the court."

China is the place where it might really atter, but the whole points to force US supply chains out of China. because a) China is collapsing and b) they are getting ready to invade Taiwan. If we tank their economy maybe that invasion doesn't happen, and we avoid WWIII?

Most day to day purchases of Americans are food. Something like 90% of our food is domestically produced.

Energy costs will have a greater effect on that than massive, retaliatory tariffs on the world that mostly affect electronics, cars, and medicine (the last of which people don't know the prices of because of insurance anyway).

SPOILER ALERT FOR BOOK AND SERIES MAGPIE MURDERS.

Best selling murder mystery author, creator of detective Atticus Pund, and murder victim Alan Conway is killed because he wanted to publicly express his hatred of his creation Pund and the entire mystery genre that would cost a lot of people a lot of profit they would have made by selling Pund books. His method is to reveal that "Atticus Pund" is an anagram of "a stupid cunt."

It's all so tiresome. I've seen so many people doing Zapruder frame by frame analysis of Musk's gesture and arguing it's exactly the same as the NAZIs. But if you look at actual WWII photographs of NAZIs, not only is Musk's somewhat different, the NAZIS THEMSELVES were not always consistent.

Hitler's salute often has his wrist broken downward slightly and nearly always has his thumb tucked weirdly beneath his hand. You can also find plenty of WWII NAZIs doing a sort of informal "Hi, how are you" salute.

So stupid.

@CollinRugg

19-year-old student reportedly has a panic attack and unbuckles her seatbelt while parasailing in Montenegro.

Tijana Radonjic sadly passed after falling into the Adriatic Sea from 160 feet in the air.

The owner of the parasailing company says Radonjic was in a cheerful mood before taking flight.

"Before we set off, she waved to her friends on the beach and they waved back. Everything seemed fine. We don't know why she unbuckled her seat belt and harness and jumped out."

"I guess she didn't do it consciously, but in a moment of uncontrollable fear."

The family says Radonjic was not su*cidal.

Republika was on vacation with her aunt when the tragedy happened in Budva, Montenegro.

118 It's all so tiresome. I've seen so many people doing Zapruder frame by frame analysis of Musk's gesture and arguing it's exactly the same as the NAZIs. But if you look at actual WWII photographs of NAZIs, not only is Musk's somewhat different, the NAZIS THEMSELVES were not always consistent.

Hitler's salute often has his wrist broken downward slightly and nearly always has his thumb tucked weirdly beneath his hand. You can also find plenty of WWII NAZIs doing a sort of informal "Hi, how are you" salute.

So stupid.

🇨🇦 CANADA’S IMMIGRATION GRAPH JUST TURNED INTO A ROCKET SHIP

Canada's bringing in 2.5 million people by 2025.

It's the biggest peacetime immigration spike ever for a country its size.

The chart literally goes vertical after 2021.

Blink and the population jumps 25%.

At this rate, Canada’s about to gain a whole new Toronto every year.

Hope they’re building houses faster than that line’s climbing.

131 At the heart of the matter was a controversy between Dudley and another medical college professor, Dr. Drake, over methods used by Dudley in performing the autopsy of "a drunken Irishman." Dudley ultimately challenged Drake to mortal combat which Drake refused but his friend, Richardson, accepted. At the appointed hour and place, Dudley and Richardson faced each other at 10 paces and at the signal, fired. Dudley was untouched but Richardson fell to the ground, profusely bleeding from a gunshot wound to the groin. Realizing Richardson would quickly bleed to death, Dudley stepped in to stop the hemorrhage and sew up the severed artery, saving Richardson’s life.

Posted by: LizLem at June 02, 2025 04:16 PM



They already have.
In the larger urban areas of Canada new homes cost C$1 million+..

In the rural areas prices are more normal but most young Canadians can’t afford a house payment and to drive an hour to work every day.

In Toronto and Vancouver it’s even worse, prices from C$1.5 - 2 million, easy.

That’s why the Conservatives did much better with younger voters during the election, but they were all outvoted by Boomers who already own a home or two, enjoy those high values for the equity and voted to stop the Trump Hitler not giving two craps about the younger people who probably won’t be able to afford a home until they are 65.

Carney’s made a lot of big promises of lowering construction taxes and building more modular homes for first time homebuyers. He also is invested quite heavily in a corp called Modulaire which makes those homes coincidentally.

Biological Male Cheater Steals Titles from Girls In California Track Championships

Their "compromise" with Trump's order to enforce Title IX according to the actual law was allowing the girls this man previously eliminated from competing for the championship to compete against him again, and lose to the male cheater again.

Which is exactly what happened.

Obviously. Track and field is not a sport with a lot of unexpected upsets. You can mostly project the winners based on their past finishes.


A transgender athlete in California took first place in the girls' high and triple jump championship events Saturday, as Donald Trump threatened to cut funding.

AB Hernandez, a junior at Jurupa Valley High School in Riverside County, won the events but shared the spotlight for first place due to a policy change from the event organizer, according to the New York Post.

The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) announced a rule change Tuesday stating that any biological female who placed behind a transgender athlete will retain her original placement, according to the outlet. Additionally, the rule allowed for an extra biological female to compete in any event that included Hernandez.

This policy change came amid threats from President Donald Trump to withhold funding from California due to Hernandez being allowed to compete in female events.

"California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow 'MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN'S SPORTS,'" Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday.

"THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS. Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to," he went on to say. He also called for local authorities to intervene if Hernandez was allowed to compete.

During the track-and-field events, a plane flew overhead that read "No Boys In Girls' Sports," according to a post to X.

Below, a lawyer who opposes this lunacy refuses to go along with the perpetually PMSing CNN anchorette's use of the fake pronoun "her" to describe AB Hernandez.

Notice how easily the CNN propagandist is reduced to babbling when someone simply refuses to repeat their lies.

They're used to winning every single culture war offensive by dictating how the issue can even be discussed. That's playing politics on easy mode (or, as many say, on "game journalist" mode).

When you change the game to normal difficulty, they're stymied.

Well done:

Benny Johnson
@bennyjohnson

Julie Hamill just flawlessly shut down and humiliated a CNN anchor labeling male athlete AB Hernandez as a woman:

CNN: "For her to compete for those who are competing against her. What, what would that kind of structure in competition look like?"

HAMILL: "Who is her?"

CNN: "AB"

HAMILL: "Okay. A.B. hernandez is a male who identifies as a female. What would be fair is to have Hernandez competing in the male category. It is not fair to the females competing to compete with a male."

Meanwhile, a DNA test has reportedly proven that the Iranian "female" boxer that competed in the recent Olympics has XY chromosomes, also known as male chromosomes.

27 Willowed:

When I was a grader in the CS dept as an undergrad, someone had the bright idea to crosslink classes from different departments. CS and EE in the engineering school had been doing it for a long time as you might expect. This time they cross linked the CS advanced track with the Liberal Arts Linguistic classes.

It was a blood bath. The average grade on a test was 32 and not normally distributed. The CS majors had decent grades....while the LA group got about 0. And we sure tried to find some points to give out.

That's not really true. Even the most elite competitors lose races or events. Usain Bolt at the height of his dominance was upset several times. He actually had a rivalry with an American runner (I forget his name) who beat him. That's one of the greatest runners of all time.

Something I tried to warn about during Trump 1. There's effectively no such thing as a reliable judge, because judges are the lowest form of human life there is. I reckon it's a stretch to call them human at all. The profession naturally attracts the grossest, most corrupt and venal pigs in society, and for every Clarence Thomas there are a thousand John Roberts.

The best thing to do is see if a judge can pass a confirmation, and then hang the motherfucker right there in the well of the Senate.

Justice delayed is justice denied. This court has no intention of restoring the Second Amendment to these states where it has been usurped by the government. The states have only grown more bold in their violations of our rights. This has been accomplished with the courts imprimatur. The states will continue to write more violations into their laws so this becomes a protected battle enabled by the courts open willingness to delay and deny the rights clearly afforded under the constitution. Justices like ACB should be hounded by gun owners, respectfully, in the same dogged way the liberals do it. There is no reason for denying these cases until the next session. Zero.

89 56 It's hard to get past how, after fighting for Women's Sports and Woman's Rights for 50 years or more, the Left has now turned on a dime and is working to destroy all of it in favor of gender freaks.
If this isn't stopped, within 10 years there will be no actual women left in "women's sports", because who will want to train and work for 10 years for something in which you know you'll get your ass kicked no matter how hard you try?

That's the kind of story that could be easily transplanted temporally and from one city to another. It doesn't square well with Jews being one of three "peoples of the book" that got favored treatment.

If this issue of trannies had come up back then, I would have seriously considered pulling my team from any game with a male opponent.

103 I came to the realization this weekend that women brought on this crap themselves.

Women insisted decades ago that men were not allowed to have single sex spaces. They invaded cub scouts and Boy Scouts and card rooms and country clubs. How about the bimbo sport reporter ettes in the men’s locker rooms? They tried to invade some men’s sports, but aside from the rare place kicker in football, they simply cannot keep up.

Now, men are invading women’s spaces, dressing rooms, locker rooms, spas….. and sports

When women allow men to have their space, then perhaps women will be allowed to get theirs back.

110 Writing for the majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh emphasized that,

“NEPA does not allow courts, ‘under the guise of judicial review’ of agency compliance with NEPA, to delay or block agency projects based on the environmental effects of other projects separate from the project at hand”.

Translation: judges can’t play fortune teller and block infrastructure because of speculative “ripple effects” on theoretical future projects. In other words, environmental lawfare just hit a serious snag.

As Justice Kavanaugh rightly stated, courts are not meant to

“micromanage those agency choices so long as they fall within a broad zone of reasonableness”.

This ruling reinforces that principle and restores a shred of common sense to environmental regulation.

Note that Griner found "reasons" to not join the women's Olympic team even though he was automatically on the team.

Which "reasons" were totally not related in any way whatsoever to the fact that the Committee required blood testing, which screened for testosterone levels, at that time.

243 Major layoffs are underway Monday the Walt Disney Company, with several hundred employees impacted globally, Deadline has learned. The bulk of them are across divisions of Disney Entertainment, including marketing for both film and television as well as television publicity, casting and development. Also affected are Disney’s corporate financial operations.

I was living in Chicago in the Jordan Years and the Rodman teams were amazing. When they got in sync teams would just not be able to score. They get the ball, go down, shots passes are contested and one shot goes up...and Rodman rebounds (or Pippen or Jordan) and the offense can do what they want. Jordan misses, Rodman rebounds and that's 20 seconds more off the clock.

320 I grew up watching the Yankees and Phil Rizzuto was an announcer. He would start talking about cannolis , guys he used to play with and Mr and Mrs this or that from New Jersey. That was something bti listen to , but today it couldn't happen

That, and the old best announcers were great at knowing how to fill a gap with a good story or analysis. Dave Niehaus and Vin Scully always had an amazing anecdote or tale to fill when the manager went to the mound or there was a short delay of some kind. They kept the game interesting no matter what was going on the field.

326 270 At this time a massive emergency response is currently underway in Weslaco, Texas, where a standoff has unfolded involving a male suspect stranded atop a water tower. Authorities say the man climbed the structure earlier today and became stuck, prompting law enforcement and rescue teams to respond. Negotiations are ongoing, and the motive behind their actions remains unclear. Emergency crews are now working to bring them down safely, with specialized equipment on standby as a precaution.

Bottom line. For six freakin decades we've been getting this feminist nonsense that Males and Females are exactly alike. In order to defend females in the present they feminists have to overtly admit that their six decades of diatribe was nonsense. I enjoy the squirming. And, I'd like to see males rule the female sports genre (including the Olympics). It would be hilarious, and half of the country wouldn't understand why.

CNN and the Leftwing Media Falsely Reported Israel Was Machine-Gunning Palestinian Supporters, Taking Hamas' Newest Lies as the Gospel.
That Night, a Muslim Illegal Alien Began Setting Jews on Fire

The media claims that Trump was directly responsible for the four-hour riot on January 6th because he pushed "lies" about winning the 2020 election.

CNN's lies are therefore directly responsible for the latest case of "globalizing the intifada" that CNN also supports.


CNN and the BBC ran with false reports Sunday, blaming Israel for deaths near a humanitarian aid site in Gaza--claims pushed by Hamas and later debunked by the IDF, drone footage, and U.S.-backed aid sources.

Key Details:

Hamas alleged Israel killed over 30 Palestinians at a U.S.-backed Gaza aid site.

IDF denied firing on civilians, blaming Hamas for staging violence near aid centers.

CNN and BBC ran the claims without verification, echoing a pattern of uncritical reporting on Hamas narratives.

Diving Deeper:

Two of the world's largest news outlets, CNN and the BBC, once again found themselves promoting unverified claims from Hamas, falsely accusing Israel of killing dozens of civilians near a humanitarian aid site in Gaza on Sunday. The claim, which quickly spread across Western media, was later disproven by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and drone footage showing Hamas operatives attacking civilians.

The original reports, citing Hamas sources, alleged that Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinians at a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) food distribution center. However, a source within the GHF, a U.S.-backed group supported by the Trump administration, told Breitbart News that Sunday was the calmest day since the operation began. Over 4.8 million meals have been delivered in less than a week, with no civilian casualties reported until the Hamas-fueled narrative surfaced.

Responding swiftly, the IDF issued a firm denial. "False reports have been spread, including serious allegations against the IDF... our inquiry indicates that the IDF did not fire at civilians at or near the humanitarian aid site," the statement read. It further emphasized that Hamas is actively undermining aid efforts and endangering Gazans to maintain its control.

Drone footage released later that day reinforced the IDF's statement. The video captured masked and armed terrorists throwing rocks and firing at civilians attempting to access aid. The clear implication: if anyone was responsible for the chaos and violence, it was Hamas operatives--not Israeli soldiers.

...

A GHF source expressed deep frustration over Western media's complicity. "It's extremely disheartening," they said, "that major outlets repeat fabrications without even basic verification." The source also pointed a finger at the United Nations, whose aid efforts are often co-opted by Hamas and which has declined to work with the GHF.

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also criticized the media's eagerness to amplify Hamas propaganda, singling out CNN and the BBC for broadcasting falsehoods that put lives at risk and undermine legitimate humanitarian efforts.

While the GHF continues its work to provide direct aid to Palestinians--cutting Hamas and the UN out of the process--the danger isn't just on the ground. It's in the headlines too, where Hamas's disinformation campaigns are too often given a megaphone by a compliant press.

CNN gladly ran yet another Hamas blood libel fabricated to activate their network of terrorist supporters.


It worked. CNN got their Fiery But Mostly Peaceful Burning of Jews.

A suspected terrorist launched a violent, anti-Israel attack Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, setting a woman on fire and injuring five others during a peaceful event honoring Israeli hostages.

Key Details:

The attack occurred around 1:26 p.m. at the Pearl Street Mall during a weekly walk organized by "Run For Their Lives," a group advocating for the release of Israeli hostages still held by Hamas.

Witnesses say the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, was waiting outside the courthouse with bottles of a clear liquid, which he ignited and threw at the group.

One elderly woman was engulfed in flames, and all six victims--aged 67 to 88--suffered burn injuries. At least two were medevaced, and one remains in critical condition.


Obviously, the attacker was one of Biden's illegal aliens.


The suspect accused of launching a fiery antisemitic attack during a pro-Israel event in Boulder, Colorado, is reportedly an Egyptian national who entered the U.S. on a visa under the Biden administration and never left.

Key Details:

Fox News' Bill Melugin, citing three senior DHS officials, reported that the suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, entered the U.S. on August 27th, 2022, on a B1/B2 tourist visa, which expired in February 2023. He overstayed and remained in the country illegally.

On September 29th, 2022, Soliman reportedly filed a claim with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)--possibly an asylum request--and was granted work authorization in March 2023. That work permit expired in March of this year.

FBI Special Agent Mark Michalek confirmed that six elderly individuals were hospitalized with burn injuries after Soliman allegedly hurled incendiary devices and used a makeshift flamethrower while yelling "Free Palestine" during the attack.

...

Michalek confirmed the agency is treating the incident as a terror-related act. "Sadly, attacks like this are becoming too common across the country," he added. "This is an example of how perpetrators of violence continue to threaten communities across our nation."

Video from the scene appears to show Soliman shouting phrases like "end Zionists" and "Palestine is free" before the attack. Witnesses said victims were part of a walk organized to draw attention to Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza.

@BillMelugin_

NEW: In wake of Colorado terror attack by Egyptian national in US illegally as a visa overstay, DHS announces it is revamping the 24/7 ICE tip line and will be beefing it up with additional personnel and resources.

Meanwhile, disgraced Criminal Cop Andrew McCabe chided the FBI for correctly identifying this as Globalizing the Intifada, claiming that Boulder's leftwing mayor must have better information than the organization he used to claim could see into Trump's mind and identify him as RUSSIAN AGENT.


Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe criticized FBI Director Kash Patel Sunday during a CNN appearance, claiming Patel prematurely described an incident in Boulder, Colorado, as terrorism.

Patel posted on X that the FBI was investigating a "targeted terror attack" in Boulder after Mohamed Sabry Soliman allegedly used Molotov cocktails and a jury-rigged flamethrower when he attacked an event supporting hostages taken during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by the radical Islamic terrorist group Hamas that killed over 1,200 people in Israel. McCabe said that local officials, who he claimed had "better information," had not called it terrorism.

"They don't have a clear idea that they're willing to communicate to the rest of the world yet of even exactly what happened, who was there, how they were attacked with fire, and what the purpose or the motive of that attack might have been," McCabe told CNN host Jessica Dean. "So he was very, very clear to say that they're not drawing any conclusions about terrorism or anything else at this point. They're trying to figure out who they have in custody and what that person might have done and who he -- who he was trying to hurt with that action."

Update:

picture of Boulder Colorado perp with his Molotov cocktail bottles. Looks like a MAGA to me. Fox implies he is a Hamas sympathizer. As this was a Jewish march, it could be either.

What about his appearance makes you think that? He has been identified as Mohamad Soliman.

When I see a heavy-set white guy in jeans and no shirt carrying bottles of alcohol, I tend to see MAGA and steer clear.

Looking forward to the typical evolution of a terrorist attack on Jews:""He's MAGA!"

Just like the DC attack. Just give it time.

So the guy was a visa overstay? I'm seeing reporting that he violated his immigration status, over-stayed, and then applied through USCIS for employment authorization

Great. more anti immigrant fuel for MAGA.

It would be the news story of the year. Every politician would be asked how we can stop violent religious fundamentalists. Everyone in the terrorist's life would be investigated and imprisoned if they gave any material support or even knew about it.

But because this is a Muslim murdering Jews it will be out of the news by next week and the same people that prepared this guy for the act will prepare dozens more for future attacks

Therefore, any media outlet who unquestioningly repeats a Hamas statement is blatantly and knowingly promulgating anti-Semitic propaganda (because all Hama lies are about slandering Jews).

Meh, who gives a rat's flying fuck in the ass. I don't care about dead Palestinian "civilians." There's no such thing as a Palestinian "civilian." Every single one of these oozing cockroaches is directly involved in their endless war against Jews. Yes, even the "women" and "children."

It's amazing to me that Israel never even bothered trying to make this point. They just let the lie of innocent Palestinian "civilians" fester into the world's consciousness. Do they really want to win this war?

One of the news sources claimed that the Israeli forces opened fire on a huge crowd of people with "tanks" and killed 26. I mean... how do you only kill 26 people in a crowd with a tank??

But if you read the names of the reporters its all stringers. All of them have Abdul-type names.

As others have pointed out what woudl the "national discussion" be if in 2 months

-a right wing mob tries to burn a Jewish governor's home down with him in it.
-two Jewish girls are hunted down by a right winger and shot in the street
-a right wing man firebombs a Jewish event

I like that Trump is deporting a lot of Aztec street gladiators.

But I might suggest that Arab foreign nationals overstaying visas should perhaps be the very highest priority. I assumed it probably was.

I'm pretty damn disappointed that Trump's DHS and State Department weren't all over this Egyptian Koranimal in Boulder.

If anybody from an Arab state comes into this country on a travel visa (NOT A FAN OF THIS), and their departure can't be certainly confirmed by it's expiry, it should trigger an automatic, up-the-ass-with-flashlight investigation by both State and DHS. This was a sad failure.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at June 02, 2025 01:45 PM (2VST1)

Well, any man-made obstruction on the ground can alter local wind patterns, and affect microclimates. Shelter belts, buildings, bridges, etc. Mostly, we accept this, because the changes are actually desirable (in the case of shelter belts), or are an acceptable trade-off for the utility of the structures.

Wind turbines don't deliver on their promises, so you the adverse local climate effects, without any of the expected benefits.

In part, "The suspect entered the U.S. in August 2022 on a B2 visa and filed for asylum in September 2022, according to DHS.

But his B2 visa — which is typically a tourism visa — expired in February 2023.

The suspect was granted a work permit after his B2 visa expired, a senior official told ABC News. That work permit expired on March 28, so he has been in the country illegally since then, the official said."

266 Yep lots of Caucasus languages are "lost" languages, or at most have one surviving cousin (making them, technically, part of a "language group").

Historically in the North Caucasus, often, when a marriage took place between people of different languages (all of them small, often confined to one topographic area), the children were raised with the "smaller" language. This helped preserve these languages.

Georgian sounds like Klingon. Written version could easily pass for fantasy or sci-fi invented language as well. But Georgians were always the easiest bad-Russian language people to deal with, as they spoke a simplified Russian, didn't palatalize, and generally were fun. Armenians spoke perfect Moscow U. Russian with barely an accent (possibly unscientific sample of educated and guvamint types). Azeris sort of squeak, not as high-pitched as Central Asians, but funny.

Violent known criminals obviously get top priority, as we have been seeing.

But historically the large numbers lie in categories like visa overstays, and otherwise-law-abiding long-term illegals with jobs/lives.

Thanks to the insane lawless vandalism of the Biden crew, there is now a very large new category of fake asylum petitioners (or the ridiculous mass TPS-recipients, Haitians/Venezuelans, DHS now trying to revoke). Plus new illegals who fit more in the welfare-dependent category.

306 The City of Chester, PA is currently under state receivership and bankruptcy proceedings. The city was first declared a financially distressed municipality in 1995 and has been under state oversight for nearly 30 years. Chester was placed under receivership in 2020 and then filed for bankruptcy in 2022.

Also for many years, money from Harrah's Casino in Chester, PA, directly benefits the city. The casino pays Chester a significant amount annually, which is a substantial portion of the city's operating revenue. This revenue is used to lower taxes, invest in infrastructure, and reduce tuition for Chester residents at a local community college.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The Dawes Rolls still rule for the 5 biggest tribes, you have to have all kinds of proof you are related to the person listed on the roll and close enough of a relative for it to matter, The tribes listened were considered civilized. For almost all tribes, you have to give a ton of proof on your blood quotient, and different tribes have different thresholds for what they consider enough to give you a card.

It was a blood bath. The average grade on a test was 32 and not normally distributed. The CS majors had decent grades....while the LA group got about 0. And we sure tried to find some points to give out.

Trump-Backed EU Skeptic Wins Polish Presidency

The office of the presidency in Poland isn't the head of the government. That's the Prime Minister, who is currently liberal Donald Tusk.

But the President has the power to veto the actions of the PM, which presumably is what the new President will do.


In a dramatic political upset with wide-reaching implications for Europe, right-wing nationalist Karol Nawrocki was declared the winner of Poland's presidential election late Sunday night. Backed by the conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS) and U.S. President Donald Trump, Nawrocki won 50.89 percent of the vote, edging out centrist liberal Rafał Trzaskowski, who took 49.11 percent, according to Poland's electoral commission.

The results overturned earlier exit polls showing a slight lead for Trzaskowski and sent a clear message from conservative voters eager to push back against what they view as the creeping influence of globalism and liberal social values. Voter turnout reached 71.6 percent, reflecting the high stakes and deep divide across Polish society.

...

The result deals a major blow to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, whose pro-European government will now have to navigate a combative and politically opposed president. Though Poland's presidency is largely ceremonial, the office wields the power to veto legislation -- a power Nawrocki is expected to use often.

Analysts suggest a tense political period lies ahead. "Nawrocki's presidency means a high-level conflict between the president and Tusk," said Joanna Sawicka of Polityka Insight. With Tusk's coalition unable to override presidential vetoes, his legislative agenda is effectively gridlocked for the foreseeable future.

So, he'll open the borders to Putin and make Poland part of Russia? I guess the stupid isn't just in the US.

This isn't a flip, it's a continuation of the existing deadlock. Liberals still control Poland's parliament. Nawrocki will veto everything PM Tusk tries to do, just like the guy before him, but he can't claim supreme executive power.

Eloon??? Could Eloon have fixed contributed to Nawrocki‘s victory in some way??

Eloon in conjunction with Putin. I wouldn't be surprised if Team Putin, with help from Eloon, had filled Poland with misinformation and outright lies leading up to the election, just as they did here.

This is a terrible blow to NATO and Ukraine.

85 I didn't know until recently but the Polish language is closer to Ukranian than Russian is to Ukranian.

Is that accurate ?
Posted by: polynikes

Depends what you mean by "closer." Historically, Russian and Ukraine are sister East-Slavic languages. Polish is a West-Slavic language, along with Czech and Slovak. However, Ukrainian has a lot of Polish loanwords and some grammatical influence from Polish as well, I think. So, it's more "Polonized" than Russian.

Note: I do know Russian, but I don't know Ukrainian much at all. Just going on my general linguistic knowledge here.

92 Istanbul talks twixt Ukes and russkis were brief. Non-starter comprehensive proposals were presented by each side. Real business was done however, on small and humanitarian stuff.

Exchange of POWs, exchange of dead soldiers, start of military talks to establish procedures for local ceasefires for recovery of dead in the field (oughta be easy, given the surveillance drones now provide).

And - of course - no big Russian action in response to the bomber caper (losses do appear to be on low end, guess we'll eventually find out). We've had 3 years of Uke stunts followed by Russian .... continuation of their plan and ongoing operations. Maybe we'll see some russki spectacular (like the Oreshkin MRBM kinetic hit on Kharkov) yet, but meh. The Gletscherkrieg continues to grind south, west, and north, and doesn't appear Uke resource problems are easing.

not quite. basically you have Rus and Slav. Poland and Western Ukraine are essentially the same phenotype and their languages are super close. my friends can speak to other Ukes, and Poles, but not Russians.

What happened was, the Soviets moves tons of Russians into easter Ukraine to dilute the native population and increase Rus control over those pesky slavs. so right now you have a lot of Rus/Russian speaking people living in Ukraine, especially to the east.

but the true Ukrainians are slavs, they speak Ukrainian and they can converse easily with Poles. and now they live mostly in Western Ukraine and/or have left their country entirely.

Well, as I said, Ukrainian has had a lot more Polish influence than Russian has, so that would make sense.

But, "genetically" speaking, Russian and Ukrainian are more closely related. They are sibling languages, whereas Polish is more like a first cousin to both.

Oh, and now all the submissions are by query, so you have to fill out this questionnaire that asks things like "do you have an agent," "did you publish before," and "how many books you sold?"

Years ago in Brazil they broadcast Spanish-language novelas (prime-time soap operas) from Spain as is. Brazilian novelas, the other hot ones at the time, were broadcast (at least in Uruguay and Argentina) with sub-titles or voice-overs in Spanish. It's a weird one-way membrane I saw in Brazil a lot. At a bbq in Curitiba I had to (crudely) translate for German-speaking Chileans who of course were also native Spanish speakers but couldn't get much out of Brazilian Portuguese.

Lindsey Graham was purportedly in Ukraine days prior to the drone attack. No word on who else was there. The Ukes are all over the socials describing how they pulled this stunt off. Not good OPSEC. So... they probably had help.

Russia has a pretty good supply of non-nuclear cruise missiles and ballistic missiles they can ready and launch at Ukraine when they feel like it. I would expect if this is what Putin orders it will be a significant strike. And if Putin believes NATO and/or the US was involved in any aspect of the drone attack, he'll dish out some payback on that account too. Probably some asymmetrical horseshit like cutting fiber-optic cables under the Atlantic or disabling pipelines we're using. Or if he's really pissed at us, something a bit more unnerving.

This was not my experience. I was at Huachuca after DLI for Russian. One of my buddies there was a Ukrainian speaker. He could understand most of what I said in Russian; I could understand about 30 to 40 percent of his Uke gibberish. (But he was a native Ukrainian speaker; so maybe he had Russian experience in his background too.)

How do the accents compare? I've heard that *written* Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are easy to understand for native speakers of any of the three, but the Swedes and Norwegians have a hard time understanding spoken Danish.

225 Lindsey Graham was purportedly in Ukraine days prior to the drone attack. No word on who else was there. The Ukes are all over the socials describing how they pulled this stunt off. Not good OPSEC. So... they probably had help.

Russia has a pretty good supply of non-nuclear cruise missiles and ballistic missiles they can ready and launch at Ukraine when they feel like it. I would expect if this is what Putin orders it will be a significant strike. And if Putin believes NATO and/or the US was involved in any aspect of the drone attack, he'll dish out some payback on that account too. Probably some asymmetrical horseshit like cutting fiber-optic cables under the Atlantic or disabling pipelines we're using. Or if he's really pissed at us, something a bit more unnerving.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at June 02, 2025 12:56 PM (Q4IgG)

I sure hope Graham was fellating the Ukes (and the Brits and Germans who are on the ground), and it gets back to Trump that he's being undermined by that fairy.

So what?

There's no deal. The war is still on. Neither side is under any obligation yet to stop trying to win. If there were already an agreed upon ceasefire, then we'd have a damn ceasefire and there would be nothing to agree on agreeing to discuss agreeing on, because they'd have already done so.

My biggest annoyance with this stupid ass war that has nothing to do with me is the amount of whining and bitching and tattle-taling going on. Just please one of you shut the fuck up and win, already, and quit all the fake ass puffed up bitching. It's pathetic. One guy is mooching around for coke money while the other is trying to min-max the asshole out of the whole debacle just to see what the absolute cheapest price tag you can possibly have on a war victory is, time and lives be damned.

What premise there is for continuing this war, from the Ukrainian side, ONLY makes sense if you're going to commit Nato troops.

Otherwise, the clock is ticking on how much longer Ukraine can hold out. And the ONLY reasons they've held on this long is because we fund everything they do... and the Russians are waiting for us to come to our senses.

If they decide we're not going to do that, if they think Trump is an idiot, being dragged further into this, they'll just level Kiev, and have a surrender ceremony in the smoking ruins of the Ukrainian capitol.

Yea, I'm aware of that and will try that too. Thanks.

My book isn't really sci-fi or fantasy, although it has fantasy elements. The thing is the reader and characters don't realize that until big reveals towards the end. For 2/3 the book, its a "normal" coming-of-age story -- albeit a fantastical one with talking animals -- with only hints that things may not be what they seem. Then the reveal that the characters have been living in a fantasy world the entire time, without them (or the reader) knowing it.

THE MORNING RANT: Dramatic Solar Panel Fire Causes Clean and Renewable Evacuation of a Maternity Hospital - Women and Children Hit Hardest

Solar Panel Maternity Fire - 1.JPG

This story actually qualifies for the famous media headline, “Women and children hit hardest.”

A massive fire atop a maternity hospital in Bristol, England was caused by faulty solar panels. Terrified women, some pregnant, some cradling their newborns, were forced to evacuate from the burning building.

Is this the “clean” part of green energy, or is it the “renewable” part? It certainly doesn’t look very “sustainable.”

“Faulty Solar Panel Blamed for Maternity Hospital Fire; Pregnant women and babies were evacuated from St Michael’s Hospital in Bristol on Thursday afternoon” [The Telegraph – 5/23/2025]

Pregnant women and babies were evacuated from St Michael’s Hospital, on Southwell Street in the city centre on Thursday afternoon. Footage shared on social media showed women cradling babies being escorted past fire engines and under police tape to buildings opposite as smoke billowed above.

The roof of the hospital has one of Bristol city centre’s largest solar panel installations, unveiled in 2014 and delivered in partnership with the council. On Thursday, Ian Fergusson , a BBC forecaster, shared a still image from a skycam showing the scorched remains of the hospital’s rooftop solar panels. He said there was “virtually nothing left of the rooftop solar panel array after this fire”, adding: “A very worrying and scary event for folks at the maternity hospital.”

Solar Panel Maternity Fire - 2.JPG

Per a BBC report about the solar-induced hospital fire:

Avon Fire and Rescue Service station manager Ben Thorpe confirmed the cause was "accidental" and "due to a fault in the solar panels". Mr Thorpe said there had been an increase in fires caused by solar panels. "I think the statistics are showing that they are on the increase although of course solar panel installations are on the increase," he explained.

A commenter here at Ace once offered up a statement that summarizes the view of those “green” elites who, in service to their net zero agenda, are willing to deny energy, food, fertilizer, and shelter to the rest of us: ”Some of you will have to die, and that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.” Killing off pregnant women and babies with “green” energy is an effective way of furthering the left’s anti-humanist agenda.

*****

My latest piece has been published at The Blaze, “One town got a nuke plant; the other got a prison … and regret.”

It discusses two southern towns named Hartsville, both of which were chosen to be the sites of nuclear plants 50-plus years ago. One plant was built and the town thrived, the other was not built, and that town went into decline.

Hartsville, Tennessee — with its decaying cooling tower looming over a long-abandoned project — stands as a monument to the dismantling of reliable energy and the destruction of industrial jobs. This is the green, globalist vision for America. By contrast, Hartsville, South Carolina, with its thriving industrial base and a product globalists love to sneer at, represents the America-first alternative championed by the MAGA movement.


It's behind a paywall, but if you have a Blaze subscription, I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

Generally, no. Because hobbyist panels were never meant to carry that kind of juice. When you start getting up into panel sizes that imitate electrical switching yards, I don't think they are built sturdy enough. They are all built to one standard, but then they are connected to each other in crazy amounts.

We know it there. But the industrial software the commercial panels utilize at scale cannot be "unhacked" to remove this malware. Malware that permits the Chinese to shut off or otherwise render the panels useless.

The same industrial software that runs many power plants, traffic systems, water treatment facilities, etc. is also infected with this malware. And for whatever reasons, it can't be removed without rendering the software unusable.

62 I worked with a bunch of green-energy frootloops who wanted to install solar panels on the roof of our facility. They were crunching ROI numbers and puffing their little chests about how fucking smart and woke they were.

When I reminded them that the facility was structured to be a plain and simple warehouse and was not structurally designed to bear the load of all of those glass panels and converters, they got pissy with me and I was ejected from the team.

Ultimately, they didn't reinforce the roof or install the project as planned.

75 Solar tech is getting better and has its uses. Wind power is a huge fail imo though it can also have its uses for individual off grid projects.
Posted by: polynikes at June 02, 2025 11:08 AM (VofaG)


Solar, and possibly wind, can have value for small, fairly constant demands. You can power a house with either - assuming sufficient sunshine and/or wind coupled with enough battery capacity to get you through downtime.

Industrial demand, however, isn't going to be met with either source unless you significantly reduce the amount of demand that industry needs... but that would require killing off a significant portion of the human population.

Not really. Either way you'd cut the connection to the grid so new power, not coming from the array, could not enter it and then it pretty much just a standard "flammable shit" fire. If the array is still producing electricity it could be a concern to people using water to try and extinguish it but that's the case regardless of where the fire started.

97 I worked with some of this so-called "industrial systems software" before. We were trying to get it to automate a building's HVAC system. Spent some big monies on baffles for vents, valves, switches, etc. that were supposed to open, close, turn on/off various fans and things on a schedule and/or as conditions warranted.

Buggy as hell. And the components we had, for the most part, were made in China and debugging the software with the American company that sold the stuff to us, was useless. We'd try to fix something only to render the entire sub-system non-op. By design.

Eventually we gave up and pulled it all out. Took a lot of heat for it but it just wasn't going to work the way the building tenants wanted.

152 Trump has issued some pretty good EO's on getting more power plants, especially nuclear.

But, he's gotta stop with that single-front attack:

He needs to run a pincer with the agency heads also firing out new rules and regs--force the left to fight their inevitable lawsuits on multiple fronts.

Then, open up a third by issuing memos (not an EO, something like "Response to Agency Request for Executive Action") waiving all red tape blocking the new rules and regs.

Then, revoke the EO, move to dismiss that lawsuit, then issue a new EO on the new rules and regs.

Then move to dismiss the rule and reg lawsuit because it's moot due to the new EO.

Just basically spinning the left around in an endless cycle of issue and revoke--while constantly advancing to the objective.

Tolkien denied any of his stuff was allegorical, but I find it hard to believe they were not essentially the ghosts of kings past, who are suffering the consequence of their sins. Sometimes the sins were mainly that of hubris and selfish accumulation of wealth and power.

So they serve the source of evil. They can't repent, they can't turn on their master. They can only be saved (killed) by the act of one who is not a man.

I don't think Tolkien was suggesting his woman warrior was a god, but that she was an instrument of God. Not unlike, for example, Joan of Arc.

Further evidence, regardless of Tolkien's protestations, the Nazzies were just historical figures, who were venerated by a nation that refused to acknowledge its own sins.

30 This is from 1923? That would have been during Georgia O'Keeffe's summer visits there, to Taos anyway. GO did not think much of Albuquerque or Santa Fe, even a hundred years ago.

It must have been quite the slog to get there in the 1920s from New York. The train doesn't stop in Santa Fe proper, and didn't even then; it stopped at a little town outside, and you had to hire a car or get a lift to the town.

50 It must have been quite the slog to get there in the 1920s from New York. The train doesn't stop in Santa Fe proper, and didn't even then; it stopped at a little town outside, and you had to hire a car or get a lift to the town. To get to Taos would have required an even longer drive -- and probably over badly rutted roads, impassable in bad weather.

You can book a cheap train ticket from Lamy, NM to Winslow, AZ from $50 (€45) with Amtrak. The direct trains cover the 440 km distance in an average of 6 h 38 m.

78 I miss the food in northern NM. On my first visit to ABQ/SF in '92 I had enchiladas with green chile sauce and blue corn tortilla chips. You can buy those and the sauce in a lot of stores now, but I'd never seen them before that. The chile sauce (red is also available) is *hot*. So they have a basket of sopaipillas, hollow flaky biscuits, on every table, and a dispenser of honey. Honey will kill the burning.

Sopaipillas are essentially beignets without the white powdered sugar on top.

You are typecasting us as one-dimensional. We are far more nuanced than that. In fact, it's rare to find people as nuanced as the average 'Ron commenter here.

It's the synthesis of three rare things that are intriguing.

166 Off topic, but noteworthy.

The new variant of COVID spreading in China currently has been named NB.1.8.1 by the WHO.

China, as usual, is being cagey and all we have are social media rumors about this strain which has “heightened immune evasion capabilities”.

There are outbreaks with spikes in cases around the country with some provinces closing schools or quarantining infected students, but no widespread deaths or overwhelming of the health system as yet.

There have been a few cases detected in the U.S. so far, but nobody is hitting the panic button yet, as it isn’t an election year.

I think this happened for these reasons: NM finally was a state, autos made it far easier to get there, the place was pretty exotic compared to NY or LA, and has a clarity of light that is unparalleled due to the elevation and lack of humidity.

Today's painting is remarkably accurate in how Lamy would have looked and how it affected a visitor. I have been to Lamy and much of what is in this work is still hanging around and still has the same impact.

Living here has allowed me to chase down a number of the spots that inspired these works and in the case of photography the actual locations. It has been wildly instructive in learning how translate land to composition.

I also learned that Ansel Adams was not the get the shot at any cost type of guy. Rather he would drive around, and go ooh, that's nice, get out, take a picture and become immortal. I follow the same technique but with Edward Weston's drinking in the local bars in the evening.

Would hang this one loud and proud.

The Morning Report — 6/ 2 /25

BookerAdolf.jpg

Good morning kids. I hate to throw a big wet blanket (without smallpox) on your kickoff of Pride Month, but the big story is yet another attack on Jews. Of course, intersectionality and Leftism been what it is, there's no better way to celebrate the rainbow of diversity than by a violent attack on an elderly Jewish couple, the symbols of Islamophobia and the evils of colonialist America, Israel and Judeo-Christian Western Civilization. As our friend Prof Victor Davis Hanson notes.

Surprise surprise, an illegal alien from Egypt let in by Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants.

The Egyptian national accused of blasting a group of Israeli hostage supporters with a homemade flamethrower and Molotov cocktails during a Colorado solidarity walk Sunday was in the United States illegally after his visa expired in March, according to a report.

Terror suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, originally entered the country through the Los Angeles International Airport on Aug. 27, 2022, Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement sources told Fox News.

Soliman arrived with a non-immigrant visa and was permitted to stay through Feb. 26, 2023, according to the outlet. Instead, he outstayed his original visa.

“A terror attack was committed in Boulder, Colorado by an illegal alien. He was granted a tourist visa by the Biden Administration and then he illegally overstayed that visa. In response, the Biden Administration gave him a work permit. Suicidal migration must be fully reversed,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller wrote on X. . .

“As a result of these preliminary facts, it is clear that this is a targeted act of violence and the FBI is investigating this as an act of terrorism,” FBI Denver Special Agent Mark Michalek said at a press conference.


But was it really "terrorism" or was it, as Yasser Arafat pronounced it merely "Tourism!"

Naturally, let's hear from an unbiased expert!

So far, pretty straightforward. A man firebombs Jews and allies while shouting pro-Hamas rhetoric? That’s a textbook act of terrorism. But not to CNN, which dragged out none other than disgraced former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe—yes, that Andrew McCabe, the one fired for lying under oath—to cast doubt on the FBI’s assessment.

You really can’t make this stuff up. CNN’s Juliette Kayyem tried to set the tone: “Local authorities are saying one thing, and the FBI is saying something slightly different.” Enter McCabe, who immediately downplayed the situation: “Yeah, that’s never a great start… I think that the press conference we saw, one thing was abundantly clear, is they—the local authorities—were being very, very careful, and I think that’s the right approach at this point. They don’t have a clear idea…”

Of course, the real issue for CNN and their pals like McCabe isn’t that they think the FBI jumped the gun—it’s that the bureau dared to call out terrorism when it didn’t fit the preferred narrative. . .

. . . Riiiiight. If the Boulder firebombing had targeted a pride parade instead of a pro-Israel event, the media would’ve immediately blamed conservative Christians—just like they did after the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting. Back then, the press rushed to frame the massacre as an anti-LGBT hate crime driven by Christian bigotry, despite the shooter being a Muslim who pledged allegiance to ISIS. Later, even left-wing outlets admitted the attack wasn’t motivated by anti-LGBT hate at all. Still, the false narrative persists, As for what happened in Boulder, since the attacker was parroting Hamas talking points, we have to “wait for all the facts” even though the suspects motives are quite clear.


You cannot hate the media and traitorous scum like Andrew McCabe enough. He should only fall asleep on a NYC subway train and wake up en flambé.

Speaking of Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants, The autopen and of course its use and abuse in the wake of his Dementia and now his cancer diagnosis is now a thing. Mostly as a result of Fake Jake Tapper's so-called "Exposé" which of course is merely an attempt at CYA of the Democrat/Media propaganda complex, since anyone with eyes to see knew Biden was essentially a braindead stooge since well before the 2020 election and his entire term propped up behind the Resolute Desk.


Watchdog’s Biden Autopen Review Finds ‘Criminal’ Evidence of ‘Impersonating the President’ . . .

“You know, I get so angry when I have these conversations about this because I deal with the people whose livelihoods were destroyed. It takes a lot of effort to not curse and be profane because what they did to the American people is not just criminal, it’s evil,” Turner told radio show host Matt Boyle. “It’s genuinely morally reprehensible. The damage that we did, that we continue to do, to the American people, all because we’re ‘worried about Donald Trump.'”

"Impersonating the President!" That right there is a howler, considering as I stated Biden himself was impersonating a president as a result of his party stealing the 2020 election.

From just about any point of view, the 2020 Presidential Election was bizarre and abnormal -- the high number of votes recorded, increased mail-in/absentee voting, voting rules changed, etc.

To judge voting claims, one needs a standard for comparison. The 2024 presidential vote totals are a public record. Also the 2020 census data, including state (and county) populations, is a public record. Thus the 2020 vote count adjusted relative to 2016 and 2024 vote counts -- two years for standards -- can be examined.

There are 50 states and DC: 51 national voting units. But population sizes differ among states. Wyoming is small and California is large. To account for this, we adjusted votes by state population -- vote count divided by population ´ 100 -- to give the Voter Participation Rate, VPR. Historically, the VPR ranged from 15 to 30 percent for each party, but more recently it has been higher.

VPR allows apples-to-apples comparison of states by their population. The contrast (or jump) in 2020 VPRs versus the average of the years 2016 and 2024 tells us if the 2020 count is normal, or if something smells off. Specifically, we looked at how the jump in VPR differed between Democrats and Republicans for 2020 versus the average for 2016 and 2024?

Looking at the data, we unsurprisingly saw a jump in 2020 -- overall average for 51 voting units of 2.19 percent. The jump was larger for Democrats than for Republicans, average of 3.08 versus 1.29 percent.

Sorry for the shameless plug, but as some or perhaps all of you may know, I wrote a book about the theft and the immediate aftermath.

Elsewhere, despite the fact that the real economic news is showing that the President's economic policies are reaping real results, the infuriating thing is the radiant chutzpocrisy from the Left that the budget cuts are going to literally kill people, and then two seconds later these same bastards are freaking out that the budget will add trillions in debt and saddle future generations with unsustainable debt. This after decades of claiming that government cannot be cut, ever, and that the government borrowing and spending is irrelevant and a good thing.

Here's noted yammering coprolite Hakeem Jeffries:

Jeffries said, “Trump’s one big ugly bill narrowly escaped the House of Representatives, and we’re going to continue to press our case across the country, partner with Senate Democrats in making clear to the American people the type of damage that this bill would do if it ever became law. This bill actually hurts everyday Americans in order to reward billionaires. It would strip away health care from approximately 14 million Americans premiums, co-pays and deductibles for tens of millions more will go up. Actually, if it ever were to be implemented into law, hospitals will close, nursing homes will shut down, and people will literally die.”


But of course it's okay for Hakeem's pal Cory Booker to give a Nazi salute, but for Elon Musk to supposedly give one (he didn't), that's an infamnia that can never be excused!


The question this garbage human and his coven of demons in the Democrat party refuse to answer is, How many black lives were utterly destroyed in the wake of the Democrat economic/societal genocidal War on Poverty, which continues to this day, on top of Planned Parenthood's Margaret Sanger-inspired elimination of the mongrel races of which she'd consider Jeffries a part.

Because the Biden Family mafia needs the money and Don “10% for the Big Guy” Biden is the only one capable of bringing in the cash.

96 My favorite origin hypothesis at the moment is that we are all living past the singularity in a black hole formed in another universe, and that every black hole in our universe is an opening to another universe.

In this theory, somewhere in our universe at the beginning there was a white hole where all of the material from the black hole exited to create our universe, which would have long since closed off and dissipated by now.

Once you get into the theory it makes some sense and fits with the Big Bang.

Russia has many ballistic missiles armed with conventional warheads. They used several in an attack on Ukraine last year, IIRC. It stirred up some... concern.

The Russians have, or had, a respectable non-nuclear air launched missile inventory as well. Now... do they have the platforms to deliver them? Probably fewer than they did last week at this time.

No aircraft in the strike package. They would be more useful glide bombing a section of the front line to allow a breakthrough.

Missiles are the way to go. Run the Patriot round total down, then throw in better missiles.

Drones and cruise missiles do not need Patriot missiles to stop. Use then on the front lines also.

In cases of cosmology, time generally equals distance. The cosmologists have, theoretically, calculated the size of the universe via extrapolations from several theories that no one is permitted to challenge. Given the theoretical rate of expansion, they project backward to the point when everything was glommed together.

This is in opposition to the steady-state universe model to which they objected, if memory serves, because the observed expansion would require the creation of matter - which is impossible unless it happens all the once and then explodes for no known reason.

All the senior astronomers have based their entire career on the BB so it's not permitted to be questioned. Younger folks may not accept it but they'll keep quiet until the old farts retire and then someone will put out a new theory of a slightly more gradual, but still inexplicable, non-creation creation of the universe which happened several billion years earlier than the BB supposedly happened and that will become the new scientific dogma.

Actually, that is the exact opposite of how it works. it took six days to perfect the Earth, the stars, planets, comets, et al came a few days into the Creation process.

If you are looking for a Big Bang, you look not at the beginning, but the end where the Apostle Peter writes in his second letter "But the day of the LORD will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up" (3:10)

It is just a new take on the old idea of spontaneous generation honestly. The answer science gives is "we don't know and we don't have anyway to establish what caused the creation of the universe"

But the government-scientific complex can never say they don't know. So they come up with bullshit that has no relation to science.

I don't read "Got Questions" because most of it is heretical, but the whole meta narrative needed a stage.

If we believe that God loved and knew His Elect in eternity past, then the inclusion of a temporal element is needed to link eternity past with eternity future.

Furthermore there are other elements, particularly Job 38:4-7 where "morning stars" and "sons of God" sand and shouted together when the Foundations of the earth were laid. Apparently the perfection of some Divine work was coming together which brought the house down in cheers when the Heavens and Earth were formed and the show began.

226 One of the signs it was time to leave CO for me was when Antifa murdered a Trump supporter at a Trump rally in Denver. Walked up and drew a pistol on the guy, who then and only then pulled out some pepper spray in a vain attempt to save his own life, and then the Antifa guy capped him.

The whole thing was caught on video - not a grainy cell phone video, either - it was on the damn news camera from 9news, for whom he was working as an "Antifa Sherpa."

The DA dropped the charges on the grounds that the Antifa guy was defending himself from the Trump supporter's attempt at self-defense. You see, since he hadn't actually depressed the trigger yet, that guy shouldn't have taken out that fascist pepper spray of his.

They walked a guy on a stone cold, broad daylight murder in front of dozens of witnesses and a rolling news camera Because Trump.

Nobody died in this case, so I assume this sandmaggot will get the keys to the city.

As Newsweek reports, recent college graduates who majored in computer science are facing high unemployment rates alongside the increasing probability of being laid off or replaced by artificial intelligence if and when they do get hired.

In its latest labor market report, the New York Federal Reserve found that recent CS grads are dealing with a whopping 6.1 precent unemployment rate. Those who majored in computer engineering — which is similar, if not more specialized — are faring even worse, with 7.5 percent of recent graduates remaining jobless.

I remember a previous case where a MAGA guy was videotaping some leftwing rioters.

They started mobbing him when they realized who is was, threatening to kill him. He drew a pistol he legally possessed and the mob ran.

The cops arrested him for brandishing and he got a couple years in prison

241 I don't believe that God gave us the power of reason and then set up a bunch of false logic traps across the universe as a prank.

There, clearly was an "expansion" at the beginning whether or not you want to call it the Big Bang.

The contention really only boils down to two things:

1) What was or initiated the "First Cause"?

2) Could and did an all-power, all-omniscient Being control this "expansion" to allow universe and us to come into existence?

Neither one of these can be proved, as of yet(?)

So, faith or not, does you has it?

258 I took a spill at work back in March that caused a sprained knee.

A sprained knee is a very serious injury. A sprain is where the tendons become detached from the bone. In the knee these tendons and muscles are involved in holding the bones in position. It took me 8 months to recover from a knew sprain. Of course I was old (75) at the time, so that slowed things down. Sorry, wish I had better news. Get a top quality knee brace, that helps a lot.

It's just going to be something new we learn about the thing He made. If there appears to be some kind of conflict, it's only because we're either not modelling the system correctly or we have incomplete information about it. Throwing up your hands and saying an apparent conflict can't be reconciled is just being lazy and uncurious. Incurious? Not curious? You know what I mean. Discrepancies aren't a problem to be fixed.

Inflation has dropped dramatically.

But tariffs cannot cause inflation anyway all they can do is reduce it since they are a form of tax.

Inflation is caused by the government spending money it doesn't have. Every extra dollar Uncle Sugar prints reduce the value of the existing dollars already out there. Inflation is decreased then by cutting spending or raising taxes.

And...everyone knew this when Biden exploded the budget. They knew it would cause hyperinflation...and it did.

Haoxiang Gao was attending the Ann Arbor-based university in October 2024 and lived on campus, authorities said.

During Gao's arraignment, a judge ordered him to surrender his Chinese passport and not to leave Michigan, according to the criminal complaint. The passport handed in had a serial number ending in "1332."...Gao boarded a Delta flight from Detroit International Airport to Shanghai, China, on Jan. 19 using a Chinese passport in his name with a serial number ending in "7137."

this seems like a waste of the Bureau’s time except for pursuing a political agenda. Millions of legal American voters were removed from voting by a right wing organization called, “True the Vote” in 2024 and I don’t see the FBI after them.

The only other site I go on with religious debate is "Christian Post" which has some interesting articles but the progressive Christians ( or so they claim) going against conservative Christians is just some sort of equivalent to the WWP. Yes, people are fairly restrained here because we're all conservatives.

338 Democrats’ Brilliant New Strategy: Learn To Speak Like An American

As Democrats wrestle with who to be in the era of President Donald Trump, a growing group of party members — especially centrists — is reviving the argument that Democrats need to rethink the words they use to talk with the voters whose trust they need to regain.

Earlier this year, a group of centrist Democrats gathered at a ritzy resort in Loudoun County, Virginia, the richest county in the country, to talk among themselves about how to regain working-class trust.

Among the recommendations: “get out of elite circles and into real communities” and embrace “traditional American imagery.”

347 People are laughing at the long-range Russian bombers being left out in the open, vulnerable to attack. However, the bomber visibility is required as part of several nuclear agreements between the USA and Russia (SALT and START). Our U.S. long range nuclear capable bombers, covered under the same agreements, are also visible. Ukraine President Zelenskyy is playing with fire by targeting them, which also explains why Zelenskyy never told President Trump in advance.

To be eligible:

• Get a video of inappropriate behavior
• Document who the corporate sponsors are
• Send evidence to EliminateDEI@protonmail.com
• If I use it, I’ll send you $500
• MUST be an original video you filmed

Corporations who sponsored inappropriate events will come to regret their choice

10 My workout yesterday was a forty-minute fast walk in the dawn along the riverfront about fifteen minutes' drive from my house. Not too bad, but it used a few different muscles from my usual walk/trot. Said muscles are complaining a little. I'm resolutely telling them to shut up.

Why did I change my workout? I believe I have developed a hernia, or it's in its early stages. It's mild; no pain -- but the jarring of my workout last week made it a bit more obvious. I'm calling my regular doctor today. However, I don't expect to be able to see him soon. I've made an appointment with the Oak Street Health people for next Tuesday. I've never been there; any experiences with one near you?

The irony of it all is that when I was done and things were finished, I realized that I probably don't need the laptop and should contemplate recycling it.

The underlying OS on Mac is Unix. You can pretty much do any Linux operation on Mac OS.

True; I've bookmarked a site with a number of useful Unix/MacOS commands, and have played around with their Terminal application. As for Homebrew, I tried to install it a while ago and ran into troubles, which I don't understand. The OS version I'm running on the iMac is 10.15. Homebrew said it was fine with versions after 10.12. I can try again.

The MacBook, with only 4 GB of memory, is fine with version 11.7. Yet the advice I see online suggests that iMacs as old as 2013-14, which mine is, should not install the latest MacOS. Not a matter of memory, but (they say) possible hardware issues (?).

Turns out they upgraded my service, and the coax cable from the box outside the house won't carry all the Megambobytes of data now available to me. Ok, so I was able to fish tape the new Ethernet cable through the wall and connect the spiffy new router.
It still won't activate.

But these girls worked hard to get where they are. For many of them, this is a chance to shine and get noticed by college recruiters. Refusing to compete takes that away from them.

The versions of MacOS for the past several years only really work with the new M chips which are all ARM based. Older Macs, like mine and yours had Intel x86 chips.

There are workarounds using bootloader software to make newer OS versions work, but it probably isn’t worth it unless you really like the Apple ecosystem and want to be able to sync and use it with other products like iPhone & iPad.

Besides, at 4GB and a hard drive instead of a SSD, it would be a painfully slow experience.

These are more for developers, and in particular AI developers. The main feature of the card is not that it is slightly faster, but that it has 96GB of VRAM, enough to run fairly high-end AI models by itself.

Also good for high-end video editing and 3D rendering, though in those cases the advantage over a regular $2000 model is much smaller.

64 Why do lawyers keeping using ChatGPT? (The Verge) (archive site)

Because they're stupid and lazy.


I'd say stupid, overworked, and don't actually care about their clients. But you'd think their instinct for self-preservation would kick in at some point.

Sunday Overnight Open Thread - June 1, 2025 [Doof]

Feel good story

He Traveled 10,000 Miles To Thank The Man Who Saved His Life

doof-donor.png

In a powerful moment years in the making, two strangers who now share an unbreakable bond finally met face to face in the town of Preston, England—half a world away from where their story began.

Luke Melling, 31, from Melbourne, Australia, had battled Hodgkin lymphoma since he was 16. After several relapses and years of grueling treatment, he was told that his only hope for survival was a stem cell transplant. With no match found in his family or even across Australia, the search went global.

After six long months of uncertainty, the answer came from 10,000 miles away: Alastair Hawken, a father-of-three from Lincolnshire, UK, was a perfect match.

***

Alastair, who runs a gingerbread business, sees his donation as part of his legacy.

“If I achieve nothing more than just seeing that smile on your face, then I’ve achieved everything I need to achieve.”

Now fully recovered, Luke has even run a marathon and is urging others to consider joining the stem cell donor registry.

Alastair hopes their story inspires more people to register.

“There’s nothing that makes you feel more complete as a human being—and when it’s a success story like this, it makes everything worthwhile.”

Challenge for The 3D Printing Hordelings

Can you do better?

Tor Alva – The World’s Tallest 3D-Printed Building

doof-Tor-Alva-3D.jpg

Towering above the rooftops of Mulegns, a picturesque village in the Swiss Alps, the recently unveiled Tor Alva (White Tower) is the world’s tallest 3D-printed building.

Mulegns, a tiny village of only 12 permanent residents nestled at the foot of the Swiss Alps, hardly seems like the perfect place to install the world’s tallest 3D-printed building, but local authorities decided that the unique installation could help revitalize the slowly fading community. Tor Alva stands 30 meters high and has a modular design featuring a total of 32 individually printed columns connected by giant screws and steel cables rather than glued with cement. No steel frame was used when printing the tower’s pieces, but its creators claim that the technological innovations showcased by the tower make it both extremely safe and easy to dismantle and move, if necessary.

***

Tor Alva was unveiled on May 20, 2025, in front of a crowd of about 300 excited people who were then able to climb the 3D-printed stairs of the tower all the way to the top floor, which acts as a domed theather for various artistic performances, but also as a platform for taking in the breathtaking alpine scenery.

It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.

------

sí, sí, puedes!

Summer 2025 is heating up and cut- out dresses are on point. From subtle key holes to more daring reveals, there are multiple options available to rock this trend with confidence!

• Daytime Chic: For a casual summer look, opt for a flowy maxi dress with side cut-outs in vibrant hues or floral prints—both are trending heavily this season. Pair it with strappy sandals and a woven tote for a beachy vibe.
• Evening Glam: For date nights or summer soirées, go bold. Metallics and jewel tones are making waves this year. Elevate the look with statement heels and minimal jewelry to let the dress shine.
• Layering for Versatility: Pair with a lightweight blazer or denim jacket for cooler evenings.

A few options to consider:



You know I love a good Farm Rio dress! This Off-White Palm Euroflax™ Maxi Dress screams summer and the cut outs offer a more modest approach to the trend. The fabric is breezy and the print is so fun.

IMG_4222r.jpg

IMG_4223r.jpg



Another option from Farm Rio that is a more covered up version of the trend is this Off-White Richelieu Euroflax™ Maxi. The shoulder straps are adjustable. Remember, Farm Rio makes a really nice product, but their sizing is very inconsistent. Read the reviews before purchasing as you may need to size up or down.

IMG_4224r.jpg


This dress is from Beyond Yoga and gives a more relaxed option to the trend without being overly revealing. I have it in navy, it’s one of those dresses you can just throw on with white or tan Superga mules and go in both comfort and style. Sandals, espadrilles, flats are all easy to wear with this dress.

IMG_4226r.jpg

IMG_4227r.jpg

IMG_4228r.jpg



Interested in a higher end option? Ivanka Trump wore this Joanna Ortiz Into the Wilde dress to the Style Saves event. Style Saves is a non-profit that raises funds through fashion focused events to provide underprivileged students with new clothing, shoes and accessories. Yes, that is Rachel Sager with her.

IMG_4219r.jpg

I could not go this week without highlighting our Second Lady!


Usha Vance wore a gorgeous Badgley Mischka square neck floral midi dress to the Military Mothers celebration on May 8. The shoes are Stuart Weitzman Nudist Block Metallic Leather Sandals in gold. Very on trend!

Any of you sufficiently North morons get ready, there's likely a nice aurora tonight, starting about in an hour. We're likely gonna hit G4 again.

Not as spectacular as last May, nothing this far south, and it's so hazy now, it wouldn't matter.

That's due to Canadian wildfire smoke, and also some Saharan dust drifting here. "Seeing" as the astronomers say is piss poor.

Sufficiently, but not too far.

We're into the part of the year when it doesn't really get dark here in the 907. I'm not far enough North that the sun stays up, but it just barely drops below the horizon.

It's easily bright enough to read at any hour of the night.

87 Meanwhile, in Ukraine:
1. Ukraine commandos blew up two railroad bridges inside Russia, about 50 miles inside the border, with accompanying wreckage of trains. This may affect Russian logistics for the battles now happening in the northeast for perhaps a week.
2. Using trucks carrying cargo containers with drones in hidden compartments, the Ukrainians made multiple attacks on air bases deep inside Russia, damaging or destroying numerous aircraft (40 by Ukrainian count, 10 by Russian count.) It is unknown if any more drone trucks are still in Russia.
3. Talks between Russia and Ukraine are still scheduled for Monday in Istanbul. Expect the Ukrainians to demand an immediate ceasefire, based on their "incredibly successful attack." Expect the Russians to ignore them and instead hand them their latest conditions for Ukraine's surrender.

168 I wantched a few youtube vids of people who lived in Dubai then left. Businessmen. Since UAE is now soooo popular! Youtube then decided to show me horror stories about Dubai and the weird shite that goes on there. Remember the story of some young Russian (?) woman, only fans "model" (so an escort) dumped at some construction site ? Found her mangled and broken, still alive. There is a creepy sub-culture of sheiks hiring these women to do unspeakable things. Dubai 20 years ago would not let an unmarried woman into the country. Now ? It is all escorts from all over the world.

The reality is that you aren't stopping them down there with guns anymore than the northeast you guys rip on daily.

I worked in Boulder up until 6 years ago. About 30 minutes drive from where I live. When I was fairly south of 29, I spent much time on the Pearl Street mall. It was much fun then. Since retirement, I absolutely refuse to go to (spit) Boulder.
Those peaceful folks who have walked the mall for almost 2 years deserved none of this...
I like the idea of an insanely hungry boar, a pit, and the terrorist...

Wormhole over Lawson, Missouri
seen ejecting multiple objects

We received the following information and witness photo on May 9, 2025 from Margie Kay, MUFON’s assistant state director in Missouri. She also is a licensed private investigator and paranormal investigator who is very thorough in confirming information before presenting anything on her KUNX Digital Broadcasting Network or in her Un-X Magazine. – The editor

Jennifer Regan was the first to report a “sky show” over Lawson, Missouri in May 2025. She believes she saw a wormhole open in the sky and then she witnessed a large vertical beam of light with multiple objects ejecting from it. That was in the daytime on May 1, 2025.

Then on May 3, 2025 another woman in Lawson was walking her dog at 4:40 a.m. and saw multiple objects coming down a strange, large, bright beam of light. She counted a total of 38 different objects. Like the first witness, she believes the light beam came out of a wormhole in the sky.

MUFON investigators confirmed that no objects were seen on radar and no satellites were in the area at the times of the sightings.

The Band did something like that, too. Their big "final concert" The Last Waltz, held, IIRC, at the Fillmore West, was supposed to be their last concert. Later that year, minus one or two members, they did an outdoor show in Canmore, Alberta, that I attended.

I predict we are going to have an October 7th style attack here in the US. How soon before one of these Islamic jihadi illegals goes door to door in a Jewish neighborhood or holds a Jewish school hostage?

I really feel like this is going to happen.

Especially since GOP members of Congress do nothing to speak out about the threat of jihad in America.

I pray I am wrong. But the Democrats have emboldened the Free Palestine movement to get away with murder in broad daylight.

288 One of the founding members of the Muslim Brotherhood that spawned al Qaeda and eventually led to the worst attack on the US homeland ever was Sayyd Qutb. He was an Eqyptian Islamic retard who spent a couple of year in Colorado at some bozo college supposedly doing research and learning about the west.

He went back to Egypt and became more radical than ever and preached about the decadent west who allowed things like men and women dancing. While he was in prison in Egypt for even being too batshit crazy for them he met a doctor, also a fucking full on crazy asshole. His name was Ayman al-Zawahiri. He was bin Laden's right hand man and far crazier than even bin Laden.

You probably see where this is headed. Colorado, crazy mutant Islamic psycopaths. Bad JuJu.

When I was a teen (which, granted, was...a while ago) I don't recall the girls wearing stuff with 80 year old men on it.

As a mid 70s teen, I can tell you that even the Rat Pack era stuff which was 15-20 years old at the time might had been ragtime and Al Jolson to us. Heck, the 35 year old at the time actual Stones were considered "old" (but still revered)

In between it said, "We refuse to serve a burger that costs less than a can of dog food." Burger was pretty good, btw. Got engaged that weekend! Kauai.

I posted late just because of the late late crowd and not wanting to have my nonsense take over.

New drugs are three days old, so I notice no real change yet. Maybe I will. The blood work in a month will tell more of that story.

And I think I'm supposed to have my final colonoscopy this year. Final? You say. Well, I was told after a certain age the risk of the procedure is more than the reward of the procedure. So there's that.

345 That Vlad guy - he was obsessed. Every single time royal protocol demanded that he be invited to Castle Orlok, I would have to ask, "Most serene and noble voivode, what would be your dining preference?" And every single time he would say "Stake!" And all of us had to laugh for an excessive amount of time because he was the Voivode of Wallachia. And you know what he did to those who ended up on his bad side. This continued until we fragged him -cough cough - that is to say, until he perished in battle at Snagov in a manner most befitting a brave voivode. Yes, that's the ticket, Vlad fell at Snagov, and was definitely not taken out by his own forces. Such a thing would be unthinkable.

348 I think I'm supposed to have my final colonoscopy this year. Final? You say. Well, I was told after a certain age the risk of the procedure is more than the reward of the procedure.

Curious to know what that age might be. Colon cancer took my father a few months after he turned 87. He had been getting regular screenings but let eight years elapse since his last one due to distractions. My mother blamed herself through her final years for not keeping on top of that..

Posted by: JQ at June 02, 2025 02:50 AM (rdVOm)

350 Joe Kidd,

First off, my comment was about people who have regular colonoscopies. Most people do not. All mine are in the hospital as I have an ICD. My first time was, in my late 50s, when I was in the hospital with something else. Mentioned I needed one. Saw a Doc. Few days later, it's done. But I have to go to the hospital every time. Unfortunately, as a cardiac patient, I'm a big deal.

So I'm not a fair criteria to judge the age by, considering my other major health issue. I was told somewhere in the early to mid 70's for people with no real polyp/issues before. If you have a polyp history, it can get extended. But the problem with the polyp history extension is if you have a certain number of polyps, 5-10, you have to have coloscopies every 3 years, instead of the normal 5. If you have more than 10 polyps, you need colonoscopies every year.

Again the problem/issue my current doc tells me is the anaesthesia. Some people don't react well, and less so with age. At a certain point, do you want to keep rolling those anaesthesia dice?

Posted by: RickZ at June 02, 2025 03:02 AM (gKDq2)

351 Thanks for the clarification, Rick. My family medical history puts me in the high risk category, but fortunately my screenings are done on an outpatient basis. Your situation justifies a more considered approach, obviously. Prayers for an uneventful procedure and a quick recovery.

Gun Thread: 1st June and June 1st Edition!

060125 calendar scaled.jpg

Howdy, Y'all! Welcome to the wondrously fabulous Gun Thread! As always, I want to thank all of our regulars for being here week in and week out, and also offer a bigly Gun Thread welcome to any newcomers who may be joining us tonight. Howdy and thank you for stopping by! I hope you find our wacky conversation on the subject of guns 'n shooting both enjoyable and informative. You are always welcome to lurk in the shadows of shame, but I'd like to invite you to jump into the conversation, say howdy, and tell us what kind of shooting you like to do!

Holy Jumping Atomic Shitballs! Not only is this the 1st June edition it's also the June 1st edition! Mind. Blown. This is both amazing and wonderful in it's mysterious complexity and I may need to sit down and reflect on the amazing and wonderful nature of the universe for a minute.

With that, step into the dojo and let's get to the gun stuff below, shall we?

FUNdamentals

Last week I posed the following question:

So fundamentals. I advocate focusing on one of four fundamentals, stance, grip, sight alignment and trigger pull/squeeze/press/manipulation every time you're at the range.

Assuming you're not focusing on fundamentals, as I suspect many of you are not, it begs the question; precisely what are you focusing on? Anything? Anything at all?

Please let us know in the comments.

Given the resultant paucity of responses, I am left with no alternative but to assume "you people" are, for the most part, not focusing on anything at the range. So I will ask you again; what in the ever-loving hell is going through your mind when you're blazing away at the range, if you are not focusing on fundamentals each and every time you yank on the trigger?

Guns of the Horde

This week our pal Ed L saves us from another week of Weasel's lame-o content!

IMG_1199 2 scaled.jpg

The Heckler & Koch (H&K) CC9 micro compact 9mm pistol is a new (fall 2024) entry in the small, concealed carry 9mm pistol market. H&K is a late entrant for this crowded market, trailing well behind its competitors. H&K says the CC9 has been in development for nearly seven years because of H&K&'s rigorous testing requirements, which is why it's taken so long to get the CC9 to market. Is the CC9 worth the wait and the relatively high ($699MSRP) price H&K wants for it?

IMG_1206 3 scaled.jpg

IMG_1207 4 scaled.jpg

The CC9 comes in a soft case with two compartments. The first holds the pistol and a spare magazine. The second has space for more spare magazines, the "operators manual," spare backstrap, and a lock.A quick look at the CC9 shows that right out of the box, the CC9 has full ambidextrous controls (slide stop, magazine release). H&K fans might be disappointed with the use of button magazine releases vice the H&K standard paddle magazine release, but there's no doubt that button magazine releases are far more popular in the US market. The CC9 comes with a very short section of Picatinny rails on the front dust cover. The CC9 has a trigger safety and an internal firing pin safety to stop negligent discharges due to dropping a loaded pistol. Unlike most other micro-9 pistols in its class, the CC9 comes with adjustable backstraps. The CC9 ships with a "normal" size backstrap installed. If you have larger hands or long fingers, you're well-advised to replace them with the "large" size backstrap. It will significantly improve your grip on the CC9.

IMG_1200 5 scaled.jpg

IMG_1204 6 scaled.jpg

IMG_1205 7 scaled.jpg

This CC9 shipped with one 10 round flush fit magazine and one 12 round extended magazine. The 10-round magazine improves concealment, but the 12-round magazine gives you just a little bit extra grip space for your pinky finger. This small change makes for a noticeable improvement in the shooting experience. The CC9 is still controllable using the ten-round magazine. But the 12-round magazines are a bit more shooter friendly.

The front sight is a large tritium lit dot, while the rear sight is a blacked out square notch. The CC9 uses a large, easy to use takedown lever. The takedown lever has a magazine disconnector, making it impossible to move he takedown lever until the magazine is removed and the slide locked to rear. Rotate the lever and hit the slide release to remove the slide from the frame. There' no need to pull the trigger to disassemble the CC9 for cleaning.

IMG_1194 8 scaled.jpg

IMG_1195 9 scaled.jpg

IMG_1202 10 scaled.jpg

The CC9 comes optics ready with the plate in front of the rear sights. Most of H&K's testing involved feeding the CC9 a wide range of 9mm ammunition types to ensure the CC9 can reliably feed most 9mm ammunition types. My testing used three different types of ammunition. Here are pictures of the groups I shot with each.124 grain Federal Syntech. The first target is a 10-yard target shot with both hands and a 12-round magazine. Second photo is a 7-yard target fired with the strong hand only using the 10-round magazine.

IMG_1196 11 scaled.jpg
This target is for 124 grain +P ammo.

IMG_1197 12 scaled.jpg

This target shows the results for 147 grain Federal HST at 10 yards. Thanks to its trigger, the CC9 is capable of good accuracy at 7 and 10 yards. Felt recoil is significant, but well within what should be expected for pistols within its class. The slide release was stiff to operate but does appear to have improved after firing the first 50 rounds. I experience no malfunctions with any of the ammo I fired so far. So, is the H&K CC9 worthy of making it to your short list as a potential purchase? If you're a lefty, have large hands, want something with H&K's reputation for reliability, or prefer a handgun that doesn't make you pull the trigger to disassemble it for cleaning, the CC9 might fit the bill for you.

Very nicely done! Thank you, Ed L!!!

2025 NoVAMoMe

060125 hello-moron scaled.jpg

Note: One of the great joys of NoVAMoMe season, at least for me, is being able to cut and paste the entire block of text below and haranguing you to attend the event. Are you attending? Are you focusing on the fundamentals of attending?

Alright, guys and gals, the long awaited and highly anticipated details of the 2025 NoVAMoMe are here! That's right, I finally got my act together and updated the information page for 2025, and need to go over a few details. First, the date is June 21st, 2025. Nextly, my bestest blog buddy bluebell and I have decided 2025 will be a year of NoVAMoMe simplification, and want to pass along the changes from prior years.

First, no more registration and no more advance charge for food. If you would like to attend, send an email to WeaselBell Productions, and let us know. You will be directed to a sekrit webpage with all of the details. We do ask once you have decided to attend to let us know so we can coordinate an expected count with venue management. Once there if you are hungry or thirsty simply order from the onsite menu and pay separately. Cash and credit cards accepted. Next, although fun, we have decided to take a break from the raffles and mug sales this year. Depending on how it goes, that may be something we bring back in future years. While your generosity is always appreciated, with no prize table, please leave donations and contributions at home, but bring your appetite for a great afternoon spent with your imaginary online friends.

A NoVAMoMe PSA from our pal bluebell

Hi folks - just a quick PSA. If you write for info about the MoMe, please give us a few words in the body of the email just so I know you are a Moron and not a spammer (moron). I do receive spam on this email account because it's sitting right here in my nic, so that's why I'm asking. I don't want to give our details to a spammer. Also, remember to check your spam folder if you don't receive a reply email.

Thanks.
bluebell

Seriously, just send an email then go to the website with the password provided. If you forget, a link to the email is on the main page, left sidebar. If you do not sign up, bluebell will be disappointed. Weasel will be disappointed, too, but it's bluebell you need to worry about.

That's it, people. Email WeaselBell Productions today!

Cigar of the Week

060125 Diogenes Carrillo Encore Majestic scaled.jpg

This week our pal Diogenes scores again with this excellent review of the Carrillo Encore Majestic

So my son-in-law shows up with a couple of sticks and we set about creating fire and fine drink with which to enjoy them. All I can say is my daughter chose wisely as he gave me a box pressed Carrillo Encore Majestic. He told me later is as rated at 96 points in Cigar Aficionado in 2022. I believe it. The Majestic comes together with immaculately detailed flavor that ranges from oak and tea to a slight background of caramel. I also caught some orange-like hints. None of these are overpowering and there is little initial taste. The light is easy and the ash burns evenly. The product is a rich, almost dense smoke that is aromatic and pleasant. The Encore features all Nicaraguan tobacco that's been aged and married in tercios together for two years. (Tercios, or bundles of tobacco held together by royal palm leaves and rope. I didn't know this.) The result is something I've never smoked before and I discovered a balance and smoothness I seldom find in a cigar. The first third of the Encore was a simple introduction to the cigar and the tastes ebbed and flowed a bit. Nothing bad, just interesting. The second third began to mellow with some creaminess starting to develop that not only softened the profile, but add subtlety. It finishes the same way. Hard core cigar smokers might find the Encore too mild, although it is rated in the medium range. It is an easy cigar to smoke and I think it is worth the $10 or so cost. Smoke it to the last inch, and you will find yourself sorry it has ended.

Excellent, Diogenes! Thank you! Thank you very much!

Here are some different online cigar vendors. You will find they not only carry different brands and different lines from those brands, but also varying selections of vitolas (sizes/shapes) of given lines. It's good to have options, especially if you're looking for a specific cigar.

A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid

Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

Pondering which victim to pick out of the tupperdor and go burn it on the porch while absorbing gunz stuff here.

Diogenes, wow! Great review. Have to look up the details. I know that Carrillo stick was cigar of the year a few years back. Have never picked one up, but my regular brick & mortar always has them, so definitely in my near future.

8 Evening folks, no range report. Spent the past two weeks serving my civic duty and also trying to squeeze a couple hours of work in. :-)

Next weekend should be another matter, just hope the weather that is forecast-ed decides to rethink what it wants to do and do the right thing.

9 Good afternoon. Thanks again, Weasel, for the thread.

As for fundamentals, draw, press toward target, pull trigger, checking for any "diving into the shot" nonsense.

When on the rifle, make sure nothing is wobbly and I don't slowly let the rifle creep forward from shot to shot. Controlled breathing, squeeze off the shot and, hopefully, I've just put another round through the same hole.

One of the fundamentals I focus on is not yanking on the trigger.

19 And to the range yesterday and focused on a new grip technique taught to me by a guy who should be a professional instructor. He’s awesome.

Anyway, he had me pressing my palms together and pulling my elbows in slightly to steady the pistol instead of squeezing with my hands and fingers. He had my thumbs up higher than I’m used to as well.

I shot well. And my hands and wrists were not jolted.

56 We got to the range with full contingent DMV MGC today.

Good shooting. Good people.

Took Sra blasters Kimber CDS9 out for its maiden voyage. Some teething issues it needs lube. Slide won't go all the way back in battery sometimes. Oddly like swa's Kimber Aegis.

Also stupid green coated ammo is still stupid. Two rounds got stuck in the chamber at different times.

Had some issues with zeroing the dot. It came with iron sights and probably should have shot it that way first but put the dot on. I have not had one be as far off from the boresight laser as this. Not sure why. We got it dialed in fairly well but not enough loctite it came loose and lost zero.

BUT - shoots very nice! Even with the dot off target the groups were quite tight. The all metal gun absorbed recoil better and did not tire Sra blasters wrist which was the desired outcome.

Needs to go back with bench rest to zero but it seems like a good addition to the laager.

57 Actually Ben Had according to cigar experts box-pressing can/does alter the flavor experience. Don’t axe me to explain - though clearly it’s how the burn proceeds, ratio of wrapper to filler (higher in box-pressed), etc.

I have the SP101 DA only version in 357 although I only use 38 specials in it. It's a bit heavier than many other snubby revolvers but that helps with recoil and control. Unless you are looking for the least weight, go for it.

68 Always yield to temptation, you might not get a second chance.

I was doing my daily browsing of the Bud's Gun Shop website, when a Tisas 1911 caught my eye. Now, Tisas pumps out Turkish 1911 clones in an amazing number of variations, but this one had a checkered front strap.

Why manufacturers continue to make modern 1911s with a smooth front on the grip puzzles me, as nowadays it would just need one more stop at a CNC station to fix the problem, but they do. I Believe I have singlehandedly kept the Pachmayr company in business, buying their rubber wrap around 1911 grips, to fix the issue.

This model had a "sale" price shown. Quickly checking my other favorite online retailers I found it was out of stock elsewhere. I am awash in 1911s, and have no earthly need for another one, let alone a full size, steel frame, 45 ACP model. So of course I bought it.

Finishing the order, I went back to the website to check on something, and found I had gotten the last one in stock. Bawahahaha!

I've been getting light primer strikes with my 'new' (not new at all, unknown round count) G26 upper and my G30, which WAS my EDC but has now been demoted.

I did a detailed clean, paying close attention to the striker channel. After the clean, the G26 run 100 rounds with no light primers. The G30...no, had 3 light primer strikes in 20 rounds of Fiocci 230 gr FMJ.

Not amused.

I have a new striker spring ordered, so going to replace that and see if it fixes the issue. I hope so. The G30 is easier to carry than the G21 and is almost more accurate, if that's possible.

Good to know, thanks! I would have expected it to be slightly better, but not hugely. I concur that the 365 flat triggers feel a little better than the curved. It's not that hard to swap in a flat trigger, if you're so inclined.

Posted by: Duncanthrax at June 01, 2025 07:56 PM (0sNs1)

88 RMBS, Hands down, the 6.5 Creedmoor is the better round for long range shooting. At least out to 1,000 yards.

308 just isn't as efficient at those distances. Also, recoil from the 6.5 is much easier to handle versus 308.

89 RedMind, I've had way more fun with a 6.5 Creedmoor than I ever had with a bolt .308. There is, however a new caliber Creedmoor now that is supposed to be even more fun. I love to spot and a .308 is like watching a school bus go thru the sky.
Creedmoors are more sporty to spot. The .308 boys were sucking air @ 1300 yds at the Gunsite advanced precision rifle course and my partner and I with 6.5's went on and played past 1500. I have a simple Savage 110BA LH with a Vortex Razor MRAD and am on my second barrel.

I'd add the Ruger LCP II to the list. I add a Hogue overgrip to it; it increases the thickness a bit, but makes it much more shootable. You will (or should) have it in a holster for pocket carry, and that makes any additional thickness moot.

Posted by: Duncanthrax at June 01, 2025 07:59 PM (0sNs1)

95 42 During the ammo shortage of 5 years ago 9mm was the most available round, and because I like the simplicity of a revolver, I'm thinking of getting one of these...

Would.
Gun is miserable, just miserable, in .357. 9mm should be fine. Ruger revolvers run forever, so should be very durable.

The 6.5 kicks less, shoots flatter, and is much friendlier for punching holes in paper during sunny days on the range.

OTHO, During the Burning Times, you will be able to delink 7.62 machine gun ammo to keep your .308 shooting.

For such a small handgun, the ergonomics make shooting with defense ammo or +P rounds tolerable. The DMV MGC all tried a few rounds of +P and the 147 grain HST and still got groups similar to mine.

There are a couple of things at work here. I shoot 30.06 and I'm still using a bipod. Due to recoil from the 06 cartridge, when I get the rifle back in line for the next shot, I've noticed I have a tendency to lean into the rifle a bit more, which move things forward a bit. If I'm not paying attention from shot to shot, things creep forward, which is no bueno @ 1000 yards.

I shot the best with my B48 iron sights and Ed's CC9 which I eally really like. Fit my hand well and I did not notice recoil even though Ed to,d me to expect it.
Also did well with Blaster's Sig with red dot but had mediocre outing with my G48 with green dot.
I had a spectacular day last Monday at the range where eyesight seemed to be working perfectly. Not so much today. May have been a bit overly optimistic.

The US (and probably the Brits, too) had "Admiralty courts which determined the monetary value for things taken into navy service (i.e. ships, guns, etc.) and oversaw the sale of stuff that wasn't (cargo, etc.).

And what if the loot turns out to be Bitcoin that was paid as ransom for releasing the Somali pirates' victims? What happens if you kill the only pirate that has code to the Bitcoin wallet?

162 Thinking about adding a new long range rifle to my collection. I don't shoot long range often, and not beyond 1,000 yds, so this is basically just a fun gun. What are the Horde's thoughts on 6.5 Creedmore v. 308?
Posted by: RedMindBlueState

I am by no means an expert or even that knowledgeable on long range shooting. I have a bolt action 30-06 that I have shot out to 500 yards. A former co-worker WAS pretty good at long range shooting.
From his experience and training with a retired Marine Gunny:
6.5 Creedmore is pretty lousy outside of 1000 yards. The wind does a lot of funny tricks with it.
.308 is better, but again a lot of it depends on the rifle.

He used .30 Win Mag, which is a pretty powerful round. He bought an $800 bolt action rifle for a .30 Win Mag cartridge, then had some specialist gun smiths make a great shooter's rifle out of the action for $5000. He could hit steel targets at a mile.

(2 of 2)
The last "prize money" awarded to ships' crews in the USN was in the waning days of peace in November 1941. USS Omaha and USS Somers boarded a US flagged vessel that turned out to be the German blockade runner SS Odenwald carrying nearly 4,000 tons of rubber. Sailing under "false" colors is a no-no and is, under the law of the sea, tantamount to piracy. Although US and Germany were still at peace, the USN task group commander reported the capture of SS Odenwald as a "suspected slaver" whose cargo was forfeit to the USN. Although the court case wasn't resolved until 1947 (thanks to WWII), each member of the boarding party got a bit over $3k. Each member of the ships' crews not part of the boarding party got an extra two months pay and allowances.

I liked shooting hers today and I think once we get the dot dialed in it will be a great carry piece. But my EDC is a P365 XL with a Romeo Zero on it and it is completely dialed in. It works well for me. I don't actually want a Kimber CDS9 because I am very happy with my carry gun.

But in the same price range is a MAC-5 which is a Turkish SP-5 clone AND I happen to know the owner of the company that engineers and imports them. That would go against the two of everything plan, but rules were made to be broken.

They don't have any shit, that's why they're pirates.

As far as their captured ships and crews -- the only lreal value these things have is their ransoms. No real resale value in the modern world.
Western, non-criminal people can't ransom crews, the cargoes are spoiled or rusted from sitting in the Somali heat, and the ships have many unsightly stains and cigarette burns. And what's that terrible smell?

Shooting the pirates to pieces as they approach is where the money's at, but that job is already taken.

The first time I took mine out, the side of the frame started flexing enough for the trigger bar to come loose and result in a dead trigger. Sent it in to Ruger's Mayodan facility, replaced the trigger, bar and frame and turned it around in about a day. No issues the last time I shot it.

246 Hey, Weasel--

Put me in the "I'm always thinking about fundamentals" category--any time I pick up one of my pistols: at the range, or doing dry fire at home with a laser cartridge.

I mean, how else can you improve your marksmanship? Like any other complex skill--my other big personal interest is playing music--it's all about mastering fundamentals. And mastering fundamentals is an endless pursuit; there's no upper limit on how good you can get. The cool thing is that the better you get the more you can enjoy doing it.

Food Thread: Baguettes And Gummies And Chicken (and other) Breasts!

baguettes2025.jpg

I have had some very good baguettes in the United States, particularly in the San Francisco Bay area. And even around here there are a few excellent bakeries that make serviceable ones.

But at a ridiculous price! $3...$4...even $5 each. That's just stupid.

Sadly, I have become addicted to this staple of French cuisine, and the spectacular ones I can get just a few minutes from my apartment are €1.40. The ficelles (thinner and smaller, almost all crust!) are €1.10! That is not to say that all of the bakeries make great baguettes...most of them are just fine, but not great.

Regardless, there is nothing quite like a fresh baguette and some wonderful cheese. Or just mopping up the juices from something roasted!

So I will need to revisit my thoroughly mediocre results of the last time I tried to make them at home. I have gotten much better at handling dough, so I am confident that my efforts will be better. How much better is the real question. I'll probably start here, with King Arthur Flour's Classic Baguettes recipe. Their stuff is always at least good, although their recipes tend to assume a minimum level of dough-handling expertise.

Part of me hopes that I will fail again. Because bread and cheese is not a wonderful way to lose the weight I am putting on in France by eating...bread and cheese!

******

I had a hoagie yesterday that was excellent, and it came from a large Pennsylvania sandwich chain called Primo Hoagies. And even more embarrassing, it was called "The Bada Bing!" Chicken cutlet, sharp Provolone, and Broccoli Rabe. Simple! But the Broccoli Rabe was excellent, the Provolone was sharp, and the bread wasn't a doughy mess.

Just because it was a chain doesn't mean that they can't make good food.

So...what food chains are solid at what they do?

******

Why doesn't my wife have friends like this?

From a long-time reader (and lurker):
BerkshireLurker.jpg

A friend's wife said "I can get a Berkshire hog for $2.50/lb!"

I said "Great, I'll take half."

Her "I bought it! We have to cut it ourselves!!" 😳

So, I spent last Saturday cutting up a 176 lb Berkshire hog. I've done deer, moose and bear before, so no worries, but it wasn't fancy.

Anyway, I cut some good chops, kept some pork belly and most of the rest was kept in pieces for making pork kebabs.


******

Wait...what? I love those things! Haribo recalls sweets due to cannabis finding.

Somebody please explain to me how this happens. Does Haribo have a product line of cannabis gummies? Because I can't think of another way it could happen without some major league breakdown of their procedures.

******

Giada cleavage.jpg

Well, I got you to look!

She seems to be a bit of an airhead, and certainly seems to be somewhat disrespectful of her marriage vows, but she can cook.

I needed a quick meal, and her Chicken Piccata is just perfect. Fast and tasty, and it requires very little modification.

I sliced the chicken breasts in half and then pounded them a bit, because that tenderizes them very quickly. And I shouldn't have used as much oil as she calls for, and instead replaced it with more butter.

If you want a thicker sauce, don't shake off the flour as much. But it's a solid dish even as is.

There are all sorts of these kinds of foods that are easy to make and absolutely delicious! Rillettes and Pâtés and meats in aspic and tons of other things that are wonderful, and usually use inexpensive cuts of meat!

I thought France would have good garlic, but the Frogs seem to have the same problem we have in the U.S. At least they don't import filthy garlic from China. Pork is great here, but no game, so send all of your extra antelope to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

Who are those poor deluded souls We know who shakes their Manhattans! These are the same people who drink fine bourbon with coke, and probably shake red wine with ice too.

$1,200 for a bottle of bourbon is just stupid, insulting, and a ghastly affront to most people's palates and wallets. I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.

The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

25 So, tonight my daughter is flying international late, so she got dibs on dinner. She's my veg forward kid. So, to make her happy, along with Trader Joe's meatballs in tomato sauce with pasta, I'm making my 1st ever (vegan) stuffed portobellos.

Now, this is vegan the way it's intended - grab a bunch of dang veg and herbs, mix with some panko and good olive oil, and stuff it in and cook.

So, I have 6 portobellos stuffed with a completely non-measured mix of basil (and entire bunch), spinach, arugula, jarred banana peppers, green onion, a 7th protbello and the mushroom stems, garlic, salt, and pepper with the panko and olive oil and nutritional yeast (parm is the dairy sub). Gonna toss them in the oven on the airfryer function at 375 til it's done. I did salt and olive oil the caps before stuffing.

Daughter says it's looks like a semi-stiff pesto (yes, I kept the crumb and oil lower b/c it's a veg for her)...1 heaping TB spoonful per cup (you know, the real spoon, not the measuring one)...

I still also have to make an acai smoothies - but that's frozen acai, banana, and strawberries in a blender...and the tasting til I like...

The exchange rate was 10 Fr to the dollar, so fifty cents for lunch every day. Add an apple or a few grams of apricots or cherries from the fruit market next door, and maybe it was a buck.

52 HONEY DILL SAUCE ... Supposedly a Manitoba favorite dipping sauce for chicken nuggets ... Made from mayonnaise, honey, dill, and garlic (optional) ... Recently made a batch which received only "It's okay" reviews by our resident nugget snobs ... However, rather than toss the leftovers, I added some basil and salt, slathered it on boneless chicken, processed it 2 hours with sous vide (while I took a nap), reverse seared to add color, and was happily surprised with the results ... Am planning to prepare chicken thighs this way next time, then finishing on the grill for added color.

Oh, spouse just had one of his top 5 ever in New Orleans last weekend.

Kid ordered it - spouse couldn't stop trying to steal it. And not a bad price for New Orleans.

If you are ever there, go to (Cochon) Butcher - they used to be the full name, and their website still is, but they are trying to brand stand alone.

Once there, order the Buckboard Bacon Melt with Collards and Swiss on white. $14 of pure magic according to the spouse.

101 I have been playing with variations on Japanese "Shokopan" which is a type of milk bread that is started with a sort of roux.

The first step is to cook a tablespoon of flour with a cup of water and salt into "gravy" and then let it cool. This I am told geletanizes the flour. Then you mix in the rest of your water flour and yeast. it makes a sticky dough for rolls or bread, that turns out far more like commercial bread loafs than anything I have tried to date.
So, make gravy with a cup of liquid and some flour, and then add the rest of the ingredients in, let it rise twice, and then make a loaf to bake.

124 So, mushrooms got destroyed (as did the rest of dinner - I think it was gone in 12 minutes).

Spouse said he's literally never had the mushrooms like that before, and loved them...and now wants more for the future.

So, when you're swimming in spring or fall greens and big portbello caps are on a big sale (mine were half off, and I got 1 lb for $4), try it out.

For the record, I airfryed them for about 40-45 minutes at 375 with my oven's air fry function...but your mushroom size and desire for mushroom doneness may vary...

PS - smoothie was also loved, but they are always loved. I don't make them more b/c they are always loved. So, it's special occasions...

128 Recently learned that Lodge cast iron is discontinuing their Enamel USA line. We had the 6 quart dutch oven and just got the 4.5 qt version. These are quality pieces, easily the equal of Le Cruset: 3 layers of enamel, carefully applied. And priced well below most Le Cruset costs. With normal care they should last for decades and even generations. People kept saying they wanted an enameled cast iron dutch oven made in the America but weren't, apparently, willing to pay for the quality. Lodge will continue to use China for their inexpensive line like they have done for a long time. They make the cast iron pot here and ship it to China for the rest. I don't trust Chinese enamel cookware: one layer sprayed on and who knows what is in the enamel.

I'm pissed off that this is happening. Lodge went to major expense to meet a supposed demand and turned out a good product. Bad reviews were about the cost, not quality. They are selling the remaining stock until it's gone.

Funny online, if you look for recipes, you get them stuffed with cheese, nuts, or meat...no one seems to want to just stuff with veg (I did a search for vegan nut free stuffed portbello) and got nothing. So, I made these to prove the concept. Well, that, and with my spouse's 1 meal a day, he was eating a dang veg bomb, especially since my daughter asked for a veg bomb (and yes, she loved them, too)...

It has turned out pretty much 100% so far, where my sponge recipe does mostly work. I don't use milk because I am not fond of milk bread, my one complaint is that it makes the bread too soft for my taste, but my wife likes it very well.

I did forget one thing, I use finely ground amber malt in the bread too, that pumps the dough up fast.

I am thinking of entering the County fair this year, they want you to list the ingredients but aren't worried about the techniques.

One of the problems my daughter has found with online recipes is that they are wrong. Really wrong. Published cookbooks tend to have been tested and retested. Online folks, of which I one, tend to just make something once, like it, and post it as best they remembered...which isn't well, and which normally involved my type of measuring (not to mention missing ingredients...

It's why online should always be inspiration...if you want to follow a real recipe, get a book...

Posted by: PabloD at June 01, 2025 05:24 PM (MFOoB)

I usually set my menus based on the weekly food circulars. I'll pick out 2-3 proteins and do them in different ways. Fridays and Sundays are usually set menus (pizza and steak, respectively), so in reality, I'm only planning four or five meals every week.

Maybe tweak your routine to include one adventurous meal per week. Pick an ingredient, plug it into a recipe search, and evaluate the results. Do that for a few weeks, and you suddenly have a new set of meals to add to your rotation..

Maybe that's my next version - ground up onions, roasted bell peppers, and even change up the herbs (my garden is swimming in dill, sage, mint, and basil...maybe I can buy cilantro and go with a chimichurri type flavored filling with some of that). See possibilities are endless.

I thought about tossing yellow squash in today, and fennel, but saved those b/c I wanted all greens. I decided one was too wet, and one was gonna be too off the flavor I was going for...

But next time (and of course, I can still now do a stuffed squash).

Summer - the time your fridge should be overflowing with your area produce, b/c then it's a simple protein and bountiful produce and dinner is done...

171 The pork butt we cooked this week was a major success: herbs and spices rubbed on the fat cap, left in the fridge overnight to let the flavors meld. slow roasted for about 9 hours.

Some recipes call for trimming the fat cap before applying the rub. They are wrong.

My local Vons (Safeway) made a pretty decent baguette. Crusty, chewy, and when you got there in the afternoon, you could get them right out of the oven. About 1.99 each, in the Beforetimes...

Of course, some California regulation/restriction/tax/fee, made production of these things impossible, so I now get to pay 2.99 for some off-white mediocrity that, even when obtained warm, is just a warmed-over mediocrity. No thanks...

216 Closest grocery store (very close) is very $$$ and upscale, so only go there for last-minute produce needs (prices/quality on those are find), or fish/Harris Ranch beef on sale.

Or to get some great bread, made by a local bakery (Cie). Kind of pricey, so don't do it all the time.

However, surprised at how good my no-knead simple Dutch oven bread made at home is. Need to experiment a bit, but perfectly decent bread, rustic and tasty, with almost no effort.

Still experimenting with 3 methods of dough-making - by hand using baker's cutter thinggy, grating frozen butter into flour, and food processor. So far, no clear winner.

222 naturalfake, how did the fajitas turn out in the new grill?
Posted by: Ben Had at June 01, 2025 06:27 PM (NVNRw)


Excellent, Ben Had.

I kept the skirt steak enlarger pieces so I could get a great sear on both side then sliced them smaller after cooking.

Chiken thighs got a nice sear as well.

And since this was a big ole griddle I could use the meats, juices and fats, and seasoning while cooking the onions and peepers at the same time.

Very nice and very easy. Thanks for asking.

Oh! Tortillas heated on the griddle too and plenty of guac and margaritas to make the party sing.



Sidenote: We didn't burn our avocados to carbon and ash as CBD suggested before making guacamole. Gah, I threw up a little bit in my mouth just thinking of that heretical gastronomic horror.

228 Ben Had the yield is different every year, both in terms of numbers of fruit, and size thereof. This year is a medium-strong one, numbers-wise, and medium-sized.

Actually over-due to make a second batch of preserves. After that, some pickled, and perhaps limoncello (still have some in the freezer from previous efforts, though there is a small band of friends who want more here).

Made a good Meyer lemon upside-down cake for an Easter event. So easy, so dang good.

Picked up a pint of berries and combined them with a cup of sugar and about 3 tblspns of flour (I used wheat flour, because I had to use that up, too). Spooned this onto the pie dough, then folded it over like a calzone. Baked it per usual (425 for 20 minutes, then 350 for another 20.

Morocco recently hosted the head of the Israeli Air Force - quite a thing in context, but Morocco has long had good (secret or open) ties with Israel. And Morocco is still involved in a tussle with various unsavory forces over the Western Sahara. The most interesting part of that taffy-yank is that one of the players has the longest acronym of any "independence" group in modern memory. POLISARIO. 100 quatloos to anyone who can expand that without looking it up.

277 Ben Had thanks. No great insights on the novel festivities in Russia. Clever application of new technologies. If initial Russian reports are accurate, limited impact. In any case, just like all the other Uke stunts the last year involving attacks inside Russia, hard to see how they move the needle where it counts - the front lines. Which have generally been moving in the wrong direction for Kiev, for almost 2 years now. Very slowly (Gletscherkrieg), but that's the nature of the beast.

Meanwhile the russkis continue to make high-value hits with Iskanders (shorter-range ballistic missiles), and drones, all of them more pertinent than hitting a refinery in Saratov. Usually military equipment and personnel - where Ukes can't sustain the losses as readily.

But the fundamentals remain the same. Enormous asymmetry in national interests, and resources, between the two sides (esp. the western part of the Uke side), as has been the case from the start. Those fundamentals have always favored Moscow, still do.

299 When I was a kid, my dad would trade a bottle of hooch or a 12-pack of beer to the neighbor, who worked at Sinclair Packing, a hog slaughtering facility, for a hog's head, sans brain and eyes.
As an aside, the neighbor, an old (to me back then) black man, would start grilling Friday night on his charcoal with the starter fluid on an old Weber, and not stop until Sunday morning, when it was time for church. The smell of that charcoal starter was amazing, but even more amazing was the smell of the added charcoal as he continued slow grilling meats throughout the weekend. That got me hooked. Now, back to the main point of my post...
My dad gave me a blade to shave the hog's head while he got the cauldron ready for the stove top. Thick, coarse hairs down to finer hair, nothing could be left. We'd wash down the hog's head outside with the hose, then carry it back inside and measure out the right amount of water so it never boiled over, but was always covered. If we had to weight the head down, it'd be with stones specifically for the process, lodged in the mouth. Boil the hog's head, then make Head Cheese with the meat, day-old bread, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.

301 You are so awesome! I do not believe I've truly read through something like that before.
So great to find another person with some unique thoughts on this subject matter.
Really.. many thanks for starting this up. This web site is one thing that's needed on the web, someone with some originality!

303 Can I comment this late? I hope so. Primo's is great! Every Wednesday is $3 off all Primo size. With the seeded bread. Saves some $ on an expensive sandwich. My youngest and I will pick a couple up and go to a local brewery. The SheDevilRider loves the Bada Bing. Chicken bruschetta, and pesto.
