FBI: We Arrested 4,000 Nasty Criminals In the Last Two Months
Kash Patel said he would reorient the FBI away from the Democrat/Wray model of unending election interference on behalf of the communists towards arresting criminals.
These arrests are proof his word is good.ICE is being harassed by violent antifa retards who provoke them and attempt to ram them with vehicles. And then, when ICE responds with appropriate deadly force, they weaponize ICE agents' understandable desire to protect their own lives. ICE is considering arming agents with shock gauntlets to give them a less-lethal response to antifa terrorists. Look, I'm with you -- I like the lethal responses better.
The FBI said Wednesday that Operation Summer Heat, now in its second year, has resulted in over 4,000 arrests and 1,500 indictments in just the past two months. "Week after week, FBI teams across the country remain committed to confronting the most egregious threats," the bureau said on X. "All the efforts coming from our agents, intelligence analysts, and support staff directly support our mission to be a trusted partner to the nation. "We all joined the bureau with the same dedication in mind," it continued. "Operations like Summer Heat demonstrate that commitment every day." The bureau said its teams arrested three members of the Mexican mafia last week who were convicted of murder in 2023, and a member of the Houston street gang Rich Kings. ... The update comes after the bureau announced Tuesday that it has arrested over 6,600 people in Washington, D.C., over the past year as part of its Safe and Beautiful initiative.
That's dumb.
ICE agents may soon have gloves that can deliver electric shocks to combative individuals To deliver the painful electric shock, they must be applied directly to someone's skin, which helps the officer gain compliance within seconds, according to the manufacturer. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers may soon wear gloves that deliver electric shocks to combative individuals. The agency plans to spend up to $20 million to purchase the "conducive distraction and de-escalation devices," according to the Associated Press, citing a Department of Homeland Security notice. The devices are manufactured by Compliant Technologies LLC of Lexington, Kentucky. The company calls them G.L.O.V.E., which stands for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter. Some jails and law enforcement agencies are already using the devices.
The company said the devices function as normal gloves until activated, which enables them to deliver a painful electric shock. They must be applied directly to someone's skin, which helps the officer gain compliance within seconds, according to the manufacturer.But shock gauntlets might make for good videos. Steve Inman could get some mileage out of Blitz Mitts. The media continues showing that they are pro-crime, pro-terrorist traitors.
North Carolina pastor taken by ICE had a stroke in detention, family saysThe stroke happened two weeks later? Well, obviously ICE caused it. No 55-year-old men living stressful lives of constant criminality ever suffer stroke, except due to the White Supremacy Sorcery of ICE. My only comfort is that given that this career criminal is 55 years old, at least they won't run pictures of him from his high school graduation to garner sympathy and show us what great promise this 55-year-old career criminal had. Oh wait, my bad, that's exactly what they're doing:
Authorities took Gabriel Johnson, 55, to the hospital after he had "stroke-like symptoms," leaving his family fearful for his well-being. By Daniella Silva A little more than two weeks after her father was arrested by ICE, Gabri Johnson received the call she had been dreading: Her father, a pastor in North Carolina, was in the hospital in Texas after having a stroke, she said. Since then, ICE has kept their family in the dark about his medical care and her father's condition, Johnson said.

So ridiculous. I'm 49 and high school feels like multiple lifetimes ago. I keep up with a couple of friends from that time, but they were part of my life after high school. I don't care about reunions. I don't care about their football team.
Other lifetimes since then:
College
My time with two serious girlfriends
Early work career
Mid work career
Marriage
Fatherhood
All of these run together in some ways, but they are all somewhat distinct in their own ways. I changed during those times in significant ways.

Well, back you your day, college was for above-average students. Even before the "demographic cliff," the universalization of college had brought the average IQ of matriculating freshmen down to the national average IQ. Then, adding Didn't Earn It on top of that forced Ivy League schools to add pre-makeup math to cover the 4th-grade-level material that they would need to understand the makeup math that they would need as a foundation sufficient to pass a basic math class that meets graduation requirements.
Now the long-predicted demographic cliff has finally hit, and even public universities (such as Portland State) are closing entire programs (an implicit no-confidence vote on state finances). So if you thought admission standards had nowhere left to fall, you were wrong.

Nothing, but they have their own use case.
A taser typically is a gun-shaped object that you hold in your hand. You can't easily grab with two hands when you're holding it. Some morons even mistake their actual gun for their taser and shoot people they intend to tase.
The glove is useful because you have both hands free to grab a person AND you can tase them on top of that. It's not going to be mistaken for a gun. A subject has to work a lot harder to take it from you and use it against you.

Hospitals Defraud the Federal Government, Disguising Costs of "Gender Affirming Care" as Something Else, Claiming It's For Something Else; Hospitals Referred to DOJ for Prosecution
"They should go to prison," JD Vance writes.
This may shock you, but Planned Parenthood may be at the heart of the fraudulent billing. Which is a nice way to say "theft."Related: A fraud-mill in NY collected $32 million in sham Medicaid payments and just happened to be donating to NY governess Kathy Hochul while they did so.
A day after the Trump administration ended federal funding of "sex-rejecting procedures on children," otherwise known as gender affirming care, Vice President J.D. Vance and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. referred hospitals and gender clinics identified in a new HHS billing fraud report for prosecution and investigation. Vance's letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche asks the Justice Department to investigate whether flagged providers violated the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, False Claims Act and federal fraud and conspiracy laws by "intentionally" miscoding treatment to "secure insurance coverage for gender-transitioning interventions that insurance would not otherwise cover." If so, "they should go to prison." "More than just pushing these procedures on kids, hospitals and providers may have been defrauding Medicaid and private insurers by using misleading or fraudulent billing codes to get insurance to cover the costs," Vance said in an X thread on the report and criminal referral. ... The secretary's letter identifies four fishy cohorts: claims for puberty blockers with endocrine disorder diagnosis on the same claim with "no gender diagnosis" and "no precocious puberty" diagnosis, ages 9-17; claims for puberty blockers with precocious puberty diagnosis, 13-17; claims for "primary gender dysphoria" diagnosis with a cross-sex hormone prescription "written the same day" in a state where that's prohibited for minors, 17 and younger; and affiliates to whom prescribers billed at least 95% of their claims in a prescription year and are registered at one of their addresses, all of them Planned Parenthood clinics.
Kathy Hochul received $55,000 in campaign contributions from social adult daycare centers (SADCs) in fraud-plagued Flushing, Queens, records show. Almost half of those donations can be linked to two men: local powerbroker Baoli Zhang, and Jiemin Shang -- who own two of Flushing's biggest daycare businesses, both of which were empty of patients when visited by The Post last week. Zhang, 69, personally donated $10,000, as well as another $5,000 through his Bao Kang Adult Day Care, financial disclosures show. Zhang's various businesses have claimed at least $32 million from Medicaid since 2018, on behalf of tens of thousands of patients. Shang runs Livingwell Day Care, which donated $5,000 to Hochul in 2022, the same year it billed $5.8M to Medicaid. Another $5,000 came from Finest Adult Day Care, which Shang also runs. "In 2021, [social adult daycare centers] were dying due to COVID. Someone threw them a lifeline and must have said something like, 'Take care of me, I'll take care of you.' They're making more money than ever now," an industry source claimed to The Post. Federal figures back this up. Business has exploded at Livingwell, which billed $114,000 in 2018, a number that increased to $8.05 million in 2024. Bao Kang went from claiming $1.5M in 2018 to $7.22M by 2024. Monthly revenue for daycares across Flushing overall has nearly doubled compared to pre-pandemic numbers. Only nine of the city's nearly 400 SADCs made contributions over $5,000 to Hochul's first gubernatorial campaign in 2022. Those same nine businesses accounted for billing Medicaid for an eyepopping $49 million in 2022, The Post's investigation found.

The inflation is occurring because we are borrowing made up money by the Federal Reserve to cover the massive deficits. Interest is now larger than the current Medicaid and Defense budgets at 1.1 trillion. This is how soft defaults begin. Devaluation of the money but the bankrupt governments trying to buy enough support to lurch further into bankruptcy for a time.
So you get subsidies that are not sustainable at the same time your interest payments start to eat up the rest of your ability to spend. So the pressure goes further to turn those printers onto max.
It is going to take leaders in the West to cross the Rubicon which in turn will provoke some horrendous backlash. Whether they are from the left or from the right remains to be seen. But this is not sustainable even now in Japan--they can't save the yen from crashing even with help.

I don't have any envelopes lying around, but I'd be willing to bet based purely off guesswork that 25% of our GDP going directly out of the pockets of the productive and into the pockets of the actively destructive is doing far more heavy lifting to ruin the dollar than regular old monetary inflation.

Gosh, is that correct. That person is probably old enough to have a father or other relative who served in WWII . I can even image the mindset of someone who made a choice to do that, unless leftism is her religion and she bizarrely thinks in some way she's getting back at Trump.

Kathy Hochul received $55,000 in campaign contributions from social adult daycare centers (SADCs) in fraud-plagued Flushing, Queens, records show.
Almost half of those donations can be linked to two men: local powerbroker Baoli Zhang, and Jiemin Shang -- who own two of Flushing's biggest daycare businesses, both of which were empty of patients when visited by The Post last week.

Prosecutions are virtually meaningless. The dollar amounts involved make this analogous to the drug trade: jail or kill as many as you want, the stakes are worth the stretch, especially to groups that don't view fraud as inherently wrong as a matter of their home culture, so others will replace them. The only solution is radically shrinking the size of federal and state governments. They are fraud magnets.

PDF of filing to Dismiss: https://tinyurl.com/2s36wjrd
Dismissal is required for several reasons. First, Plaintiffs fail to allege a single deceptive statement by WPATH, much less a statement to consumers. The “core deceptive statements” the Complaint purports to identify from SOC-8 are non-actionable opinions about subjects on which there is “medical and scientific uncertainty.” United States v. Skrmetti, 605 U.S. 495, 524 (2025).
The Fifth Circuit has held that “merely publishing a medical opinion—even a hotly debated one— in a peer-reviewed journal cannot give rise to a misrepresentation claim.” Torrey v. Infectious Diseases Soc’y of Am., 86 F.4th 701, 704 (5th Cir. 2023). All statements Plaintiffs identify have extensive citations to peer-reviewed scientific studies that Plaintiffs simply ignore. Plaintiffs further ignore that WPATH expresses these scientific opinions not to consumers, but to the professionals best able to evaluate them: doctors.

I had a colleague of mine from way back reach out to me about a job at his company. I said yeah looks interesting I’ll have a conversation. So he submitted me to his company’s Workday. A few days later a recruiter from the company asked me to be a connection on LinkedIn. Then nothing. I checked on workday and my application was changed to no longer under consideration.
So I got back to my guy there and asked what’s up? Turned out the HR woman got me confused with someone else. She wanted to interview me and reject him but did an oopsie and cancelled my application. She eventually did get back in touch.
This is how fucked up hiring is these days. An endless series of workday black holes and incompetent HR people with AI slop thrown in for good measure.

You are thinking in view of traditional western justice. Under the nature of necessity for a new regime, there will be head chopping and lopping simply to reestablish order and the courts will comply as they want to keep their heads as well.
The West is heading for a discontinuity because those in the West that should know better from history are pushing a societal collapse for some reasons--perhaps thinking they will rule over the ruins, perhaps some sort of euthanizing the 90 percent of the rest of society, to bring about the revolution of the proletariat, who knows. But the rules of the new game are going to be harsh and have to be--so the wreckers and looters will get the noose or bullet as the case may be to bolster the new regime. Same reason that the Chicoms did mass public executions of druggies and their drug lords in public stadiums. The outrages encourage the rest to avoid such a fate.
I had a Chinese defense lawyer in one of my classes, he mentioned he met clients the morning of the trial, the presumption was guilt, and his client would be executed by evening. That is what is coming when the finances collapse.

I find the "affordability crisis" conversation fascinating. The left wants the discussion to begin and end with Trump. The right seems to be a bit fragmented.
Some try to argue there is no crisis and you just need to get good at cooking at home or cut back on frivolous purchases. Some try to argue it's mostly inflation due to Covid spending and other waste. Some point to more systemic issues like fraud, illegals, massive government burdens, etc.
I tend to agree with the last group that it's all of the above. But I sure do wish we could fix this crap. Food is damn expensive. Housing is damn expensive. Gas in my state is damn expensive.

Not necessarily. A foolish coup generally gets the participants getting the bullet. I think they go authoritarian and that is what provokes the new civil war because dominating the cities is not the same as dominating the rest of the countryside regardless of how many nukes you control or the army or whatever. Revolutions that are city based always have the weakness of cities---food, water, and trade come from the outside, not from inside the city. And our gutted cities are not strongholds in the traditional historical sense but only a bunch of hungry mouths.

And the way to do that is to deport the illegals at the low end and end the outsourcing and hiring H1Bs, OPTS, and other low cost labor from abroad.
That would give the US a narrow path to avoid the downfall by reducing inflationary pressures on housing and goods like food in the US. Corporate America though will hate it because it means destroying the idea of massive profit growth via inflation from unsustainable growth in demand.

Not necessarily. A foolish coup generally gets the participants getting the bullet. I think they go authoritarian and that is what provokes the new civil war because dominating the cities is not the same as dominating the rest of the countryside regardless of how many nukes you control or the army or whatever. Revolutions that are city based always have the weakness of cities---food, water, and trade come from the outside, not from inside the city. And our gutted cities are not strongholds in the traditional historical sense but only a bunch of hungry mouths.

This is the reality of the tech revolution - big cities have become borderline liabilities in an economic sense. This is not unheard of as the British discovered in the American Revolution.
But cities can now also become net negative economic income centers, meaning there are all the other problems with cities as a locus of power getting isolated, but they are not nearly as strong economically as they used to be. The left is weaker than they think.

If you are bored, you can look up the Federal Sentencing guidelines for the recommended sentence. For a judge to go above or below that 'average' sentence, they have to formally depart by an opinion from that guideline sentence either upwards or downwards and give specific allowable reasons why they departed. Both the prosecutors and the defense then are allowed to appeal the sentence. The feds will also do a full workup for sentencing with the Probation Service noting all mitigating and aggravating circumstances plus prior criminal history for the judge in a formal sentencing report. Normally, not always, that sentencing report nuggets are used if the judge wants to depart from the recommended sentencing range.

The 620 range is purely hypothetical and even then is way optimistic. Maybe 400-450 miles if not driven hard. Which defeats the purpose.
I instruct at a race course and every once in a while some dude will bring one of those 1,000+ hp super EVs. At full track speed, it will not last more than maybe 30 miles. Not joking. You can literally see the "charge" gauge going down in real time.

Yes and no, by reducing the size of the consumers in absolute terms, it lessens internal pressure on goods like rentals, houses, food, at the same time raising labor prices. What you will probably see is a drastic reduction in profits for companies as labor costs are one of the largest components of production costs for goods. That leaves companies either doing without, mechanizing, or paying the piper. Tariffs remove the obvious response which is off shoring and if the misused H1Bs etc. become no longer competitive or legal to hire, then you end up with increased labor costs and decreased demand for your products.
Home market is a microcosm---reducing demand for high end houses in Texas by H1B departures, leads to a glut of houses, leads to lesser home prices but a drastic loss in developer profits while eliminating illegals from their construction crews means much higher labor costs. So the developer's wallet get squeezed in both directions.
That will be reflected in the stock and lending markets as the system shocks continue.

Lotsa reasons and the lower-end beef is still pretty reasonable. The high end stuff is very expensive, but then it always was.
Beef has exploded in popularity both on the home table and at restaurants. High-end steakhouses are the new rage. All that demand drives up prices.
Steak was once a men thing. Now it's a woman thing too. Go to any high-end steakhouse webpage, and it will almost certainly feature attractive ladies in $2000 dresses and $1500 shoes. Beef made a big push into this demo, and it worked.

Beef Herds in the US are the lowest that it has been for decades. Add in the screwworm problem affecting cross border calving and imports. Takes a lot longer to increase beef production as in years than it does for chickens, turkey, or pig production.
And if you bring in imports to lower the price, you stymie increases in the US herd recovery and become dependent on foreign beef.

Trump stopped Bidenflation and we are back to normal 2-3% levels, but if you want it lower or actual deflation you are going to need DRAMATIC spending cuts on the order of "government does not do social spending outside of SS anymore"
So if you are a young person complaining about affordability you need to not only no longer vote leftwing, not even GOPe, not even MAGA, but elect a majority of the "audit the fed" types.
Yes that means no more tranny virtue signaling, Guatemalan nannies, or feed the world and our bank accounts NGOs. I suspect that much of this demographic would rather have the 3% inflation...

You cannot have a rational discussion with leftists. Instead, it is better to pelt them with rhetoric to make them feel bad and flee and ignore trying to make the dialectic argument whereas the Right will always be wrong because of whatever talking points they parrot from media.
Better off just insulting them and making them feel bad, psychologically it depresses them far more than a dialectical argument which gives them satisfaction, (hubris of course), that they really showed Rightie who was correct.
Nowadays, I find it much more peaceful to avoid discussing politics with leftists--I had to do the dialectical thing for too long as a professor instead of telling them they were idiots for believing such and they needed to step away from their virtual world into reality.

If spending goes up without a companion tax increase you get...inflation.
Yes, you can raise taxes but that is only a short term fix because this will lower overall economic activity.
So really the only lever to stop inflation is reduce spending. Now that doesn't mean that whatever "charity" type cause you believe in has to be defunded. But it does mean it has to stop being funded by the government and instead be funded by YOU.

It isn't going to stop at 3 percent. Some president is going to do the King Henry the 8th and defund the secular religious centers like NGOs and universities because that is where the money has went. 13.2 trillion or so which is roughly one third of our current total debt. So you liquidate those organizations to pay off the debt.

Went to 5 Guys yesterday, and while I was eating my $13 cheeseburger I started doing a little math (I know that's discouraged here...sorry). But the burger had about 1/4 lb of beef. I can get about 1.3 lbs. of beef at the grocery story for under $10. So, I can make 5 burgers for less than they charge for one, AND I'm sure that their cost for hamburger is a bulk discount price, so call it six burgers. That's quite the mark-up profit margin. Now, I'm not retarded, I know they have a significant number of other costs (rolls, toppings, licensing, WC, insurance, rent etc). But, when all is said and done I'll bet their profit margin sits at about 100%.

Federal Court draws jurors from a broader area than the state charges would. Plus, I'll bet that Mangione had done other crimes or had perversions that he did not want revealed in court. The other crimes might have been committed in other jurisdictions like Thailand for example. Or perhaps he took the rap in order not to have fellow conspirators charged as accessories. But the feds obviously had a club ready to use on his ass and multiple charges of other crimes like sex tourism, or charging friendz or loved ones is just that type of club.
You don't just snap and commit murder, there is generally a line of prior, uncharged sometimes, but other crimes committed before the big Murder One.

THE MORNING RANT: Alberta Independence Is a Necessary Bulwark Against Canada’s Capitulation to the Enemies of Western Civilization
Canada is becoming one of America’s most underestimated national security vulnerabilities: a permissive northern platform through which mass migration, organized crime, and hostile foreign influence can reach the United States.In the early 1960s, Canada’s population was 97% European, based on ethnic origin. That declined to just 52% by the 2020s, due to a mass-immigration regime that rejected Canada’s heritage and intentionally sought to alter the cultural makeup of Canada.
Canada embraced state-sponsored multiculturalism. Former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau even described the country as the world’s first “postnational state,” with “no core identity” and “no mainstream.” Canada has combined mass immigration with an increasingly vague idea of national belonging.If Canada is “post-national” as Justin Trudeau boasts, then Alberta is entitled to be a country of its own, since Canada has ceased to be a nation. The two greatest foreign threats to the United States, in my opinion, are: 1) The 21st century Chinese empire, which is trying to expand its influence into the western hemisphere. 2) A global Islamic caliphate, which is really just part of the ongoing 1,400-year war between the Christian West and Islam. Both of these threats are establishing North American toeholds in Canada.
China presents the gravest strategic threat. Beijing does not need to turn Canada into an outright enemy of the United States. It needs only to use Canada as a gateway into the North American system. Canada’s decision to allow Chinese electric vehicles into the country at reduced tariff rates shows the risk. Modern electric vehicles are not simply cars. Their cameras, microphones, sensors, software, and remote-update capabilities can collect enormous quantities of data. That policy could put tens of thousands of Chinese surveillance platforms on American roads, gathering information near military bases, power plants, communications infrastructure, and other sensitive sites.The United States also has a virtually unsecured border with Canada. When Canada was still a 1st-world, pro-western nation, we didn’t have to worry about it. That is no longer the case.
When the United States tightens its southern border while Canada maintains looser entry policies, the northern frontier becomes an escape valve for foreign nationals seeking unlawful entry. The danger extends beyond illegal immigration. Criminal organizations, foreign agents, and potentially terrorist-linked individuals can exploit a border designed around an older assumption of trust.Getting back to the Islamification of Canada, even the prairie provinces are submitting to government-sponsored Islamic indoctrination. Authorities in Saskatchewan have acquiesced to a mosque’s demand to blast Islamic calls to prayer through downtown Regina, so as to “help introduce” Islamic rituals and obedience to the non-Muslims in Regina. “Regina's New Friday Soundtrack: Islamic Calls to Prayer” [Juno News – 6/22/2026]
Canadians living in Regina’s downtown core were subjected to an outdoor Islamic call to prayer broadcast out loud from a mosque for the first time just steps from City Hall. The Regina City Jamia Masjid used rooftop speakers at its McIntyre Street location to project the Adhan at 1 p.m., marking a trial run approved by police and set to run at least through mid-July. Anisur Rahaman of the RCJM broadcast told CTV News it would “help introduce” the mosque to both Muslim and non-Muslim residents from its downtown location.We cannot surrender any more North American ground to the enemies of western civilization. The salvageable parts of Canada must be saved, and it needs to start in Alberta. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

The other thought I've had about Canada is that it's slightly larger than the US, but has about 10% of the population. Hardly anybody there. If Canada ceases to function as a nation, and remains a growing threat, maybe...

The Mexican border is bad, but it's mostly 3rd world and cartel issues that are a threat. Canada openly works with the Chinese military.
Which is worse? Both are pretty bad. Closing both borders will probably become a necessity.

Well, what we have now is nothing, and it's too expensive to attempt to wall the whole things. So, if 48 can start the process, the 100 miles can be expanded to 125, 150, 175 in each direction over time.
Of course, you also have the problem of the Great Lakes. There are a ton of limits to what one can do to secure those shores without depriving Americans of the ability use their shoreline property.

He's not necessarily done things wrong, and I appreciate his efforts on spearheading coordination to weed out some of the fraud. But DeSantis has by far the most proven track record, and Rubio has been nothing but stellar the past few years.

Sorry bro. I've been in your shoes a number of times and wish I had a good explanation or words of wisdom for you. The whole job seeking thing went to shit some time ago and from what I can see is only getting worse. My only thought is networking, which I personally suck at, but meeting people and making connections seem to go much further than resume, experience, competence, and work ethic. I also hate to tell you this but if you're identifiably middle-aged you are going to be ice skating uphill, the ADEA notwithstanding.

My video tour this morning of a new 2BR/1BA property went so well, I decided to put in an offer on it! If the owner accepts, the inspection will tell me (as it did on the previous house) if the place is as good as it looks. It's a nice little corner house with a shade tree in front, a foyer, a deck the owner will re-stain, a good basement, a 2-car garage, and a little shed that will need some paint work -- but that *appears* to be the only thing that will.

Unfortunately it’s not just one poll. It’s a lot of them. And they all say 25-30% support. I think there was one that showed 35% a few months ago as an outlier.
Brexit polls showed remain winning but it was like 3% lead to remain and leave won by 3%. Polls can be off as we all know.. But we’re taking polls showing 60-30 remain with 10% not sure. Unless something insane happens, that isn’t turning into 51-49 leave.

Five words or less?
server, automation, innovation
(two words to be determined later)
My 'programming knowledge' has been focused on (Windows) server scripting and administration for the last 20 years, so general 'write an app' or 'serverless database' or 'must have experience building and supporting kubernetes clusters' stuff isn't going anywhere fast. Innovation - I prefer to be doing interesting things like building new systems or automating maintenance or writing code.
I have some cloud experience, and I understand a little more than just the basics of firewalls and networking and storage arrays, but when they want '5+ years administering storage arrays and managing routers', I can't claim that. That was the job of two other groups that I knew how to explain my needs to and how to diagnose when they got it wrong.

The only thing I can offer is perhaps doing informational interviewing of people in the field you want to work in. If you are not seeking a job (at least not directly) and simply discussing someone's work, that gets you away from the HR screening apparatus that is designed to keep potential job seekers away from bothering employees. What Color is My Parachute is the one book that has preached this since 1960's and it is successful and stayed in print for so long because it is a useful technique.
Libraries or Ebay have this book and I advise reading it for the nuances of doing this. Worked for a number of my students fwiw.

>>My 'programming knowledge' has been focused on (Windows) server scripting and administration for the last 20 years, so general 'write an app' or 'serverless database' or 'must have experience building and supporting kubernetes clusters' stuff isn't going anywhere fast.
Unless you got a friend that's going to set you up, you need to brush up on Python, JavaScript, C#, Java, and Lua.
The fastest way in would be to try to get a junior web-dev, if you want to continue the tech route.
There are a lot of job postings for programmers that can program UI's and control systems for AV integration.
Take a look at every crash course video on YouTube.
If your current skillset is just general bash or powershell scripting, that's going to be tough.

Okay, so listen. If you see a role that says this and you have 60% of what they want, throw your hat in the ring and create a nexis between what you do know and how you can close the gap. You are a salesman in your interview and you are selling you. The very best you that exists. The other thing is if you are seeing roles pop up that consistently require this skill set, go find some free class on it, even if you know more than the instructor. 1. It opens networking and 2. In your interview, you are going to say “I have recognized this trend as a needed skill. I wanted to close the gap in my tool kit, so I have taken course z, etc etc.” shows recognition of skill gap, recognition of emerging trends and initiative to resolve.

We had a muslim soldier in our unit in 2006 that was a riot and was and damn good soldier.
That said, he was pretty much marinated in the good 'ol USA, and he loved him some bacon.
Basically, he was as much muslim as Biden and Pelosi are Catholics.
The ones coming here to get their jihad on, and spitting out little jihadists are the ones I'm concerned with.
Sadly, since the muslim community are unable/unwilling to police up their own, they too will get caught in the crossfire if things continue to escalate.

Headhunters, only incidentally - applications turn out to be to companies that are actually staffing/placement companies, kind of thing. And weirdly, most of those never get back to me with 'well, what about this job' after the one I apply for falls through before I even get an interview.

I expect so. An independent Alberta would become a Republic.
I don't place any credence in the so-called "legal" mechanism for Alberta to leave Canada. When the time is right, it will be a unilateral declaration of independence.
And the troll Pawl ought to remember that only about 30% of the population of the 13 Colonies were strongly in favor of independence.

We don't like to hear such things but the good ones are here to do things that they could not do in their home societies but that does not make them amenable to supporting Us versus Them when the inevitable crunch occurs. Seen it happen in real time during times like 9/11 or tensions in the Middle East.
Lee Kuan Yew was correct unfortunately--and that is because most people are followers and not ideological per se.
It is when a crisis occurs and a choice must be made, they side with one or the other side and that is going to be who they identify with. For Southerners in the time of the Civil War, they sided with their homes, kin, and friends. For Northerners, the same. And the few dissenters on either side were silenced or worse.

Dave - IT hiring is some of the worst about doing what you describe. Apply for it anyway, highlight the hell out of the things you can do. Realize unfortunately some of those companies are looking for someone who doesn't exist - some of them may just be essentially ghost jobs to fulfill an in ternal recruiting requirement. Current "Talent Acquisition" practices suck, as do the bosses running those sections. Sorry about that.
And networking is the biggest key - even if you suck at it, lay out a network map, and start filling it.

Yes, those hiring view such as disposable, dated, and are far more critical of them than justified. It is the one form of bigotry still allowed combining age with racial discrimination. It is ingrained into corporate think. This is not the job market of even 2016, it is infested with those making decisions doing so in view of what they think the organization, not them, value. And that marketplace does not value older white men. Tech has become particularly vicious about it.
Small business is less likely to do that because they are often more on a knife's edge of survival but has its own problems simply to keep running and make a profit.

Mid-Morning Art Thread
Pablo Picasso One of the assumptions I make when searching for sources of the art I want to post is that the museum that possesses the work has the most interest in using an accurate version of the piece on the internet. There are plenty of brighter and and more brightly colored versions of this Picasso all over the web, so if you like art that looks like a neon sign...have at it! But The Art Institute of Chicago has this version, and I am going to trust them, even though they are probably filthy blue-city commies!

This never happened to Pablo Picasso
He could walk down your street and girls could not resist to stare, and so
Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole
Well, the girls would turn the color of the
Avocado when he would drive down their street in his El Dorado
He could walk down your street and girls could not resist to stare
Pablo Picasso never got called an asshole

There was a guy, can’t remember his name but became semi-famous because he could free-hand very authentic looking dollar bills and higher denomination US currency. Boggs maybe was his name.
He wouldn’t try to pass them off as legal tender, just order a meal and then hand them one and say, “hey isn’t this really cool?” and it oftentimes worked. The Secret Service, then under the US Treasury was in charge of going after counterfeiters and they determined he wasn’t doing anything illegal. He termed them “art” or whatever.

True enough, but both ideologies are in service to Satan (whether they acknowledge it or not). Some of Marx's writings admit to demonic influences, and Mo wasn't taking dictation from the Archangel Gabriel (I find it very revealing that Mo's version of Heaven was very carnal, while Jesus Christ taught that even married couples would be celibate in Heaven).
But ... Satan always eventually breaks his tools.

But I will raise a point of order: there was no Mohammed. he was created after the fact. The same """scholars""" who nitpick the Gospels and Greco-Roman philosophers and historians are completely silent on the lack of any contemporaneous reference to Islam's purported founder.

Salvatore Dali did something similar. He woukd actually pay the bill.
With a check. Then he would add a little doodle on the signature line and hope the restauratuer would prefer to have an original Dali work than cash the check.

Aldi is selling Crystal Clear Frozen Ice Cubes as a 4-pack for $4.99. They’re about 1.8 inches across, made with reverse osmosis (RO) purified water, and are designed to melt more slowly so drinks stay colder with less dilution.

That would account for the odd and contradictory passages in the Koran. Of the contemporary Koran, there is only a couple of pages that have been dated to when Mo supposedly existed. The earliest nearly complete Koran is dated nearly two centuries later.

Röntgen only discovered X-rays in 1895, so it must be a new wave of art criticism to admit how tech-savvy Picasso was.
This would have never hung in the waiting room of my principal's office. Guitar playing of any sort was officially frowned upon: it was a pastime for complainers and wastrels, and this was in the hard-strumming Kingston Trio days (only serious radicals knew those Weavers songs).

There was a "burning of the books" a couple of century after "Mohammed" and the Caliphs kept the book under tight control. Even today I think all Korans use the same version commissioned in 1922 or thereabouts. When they find older versions, they hide them.
Actual Western Islamic scholars are like Cold War spies, using fake names and moving to safe house-style libraries.
An Islamic version of "The Davinci Code" would be lit - and probably fatal for the author.

I've read your previous posts, and agree with you: China can't successfully mount an amphibious invasion. Besides a lack of a warrior culture, their engineering is correctly-assessed to be inferior. Big copiers of stolen technology, they lack the ability to execute it well. I remember reading an article years ago in which the Chinese were bragging that they had finally been able to domestically manufacture the micro-perforated balls necessary to make ballpoint pens.
Plus our punitive expedition against Iran has revealed that the vaunted Chinese HQ-9 SAM is garbage. We knocked-out all three SAM batteries in about an hour with zero launches.

I'm working on a draft that discusses their equipment and that will feature prominently.
Taiwan is the true China, the China of meticulous craftsmanship and quality work. The China of artists and beauty. I have a Mauser Kar98k that was made in China in 1945. Lots of people don't know that the Nationalists got training and equipment from Germany in 1935, including tooling for the Kar98k. These are fully parts compatible with the German-made ones, and in fact mine (which must have gone through a lot before coming here as a trophy) has a German stock and bolt. It was captured by the Communists, who struck out Chiang Kai-shek's name and stamped militia marks on the stock.
It was probably sent as aid to Vietnam and captured there. I found a book documenting Vietnam trophy weapons and our boys picked up a lot of crazy stuff.

You're just mad that "Left" is actually synonymous with "Communist." The old-school Democrat politicians were perfectly content to hide their Collectivist-bent while enriching themselves. The Democrat Socialists of America loons are just claiming the Communism out loud.
Psaki was (and is) a paid liar. She sees everything from the perspective that there will be "Heaven-on-Earth (tm)" if people she liked controlled every aspect of our lives. She's yet another huckster promising free stuff paid for by other people. Just another person conflating charity for collectivism.
This always ends the same way: millions of dead and misery.

The US shut the door on immigration for this reason. The ethnic blocs were not assimilating, and organized crime was getting out of control (exacerbated by Prohibition).
Prohibition itself was strongly Nativist.

And if you didn't have socialism, you couldn't be as "democratic".
So it's not like "democracy" hasn't been tied to "socialism" by some major figure of Marxism, itself.
And I've heard some of the socialists in Washington, and have heard that respond in sync with that relationship, before.
So, if socialism makes "democracy", what the heck is different about "socialism with democracy"?

Atheists certainly tend toward that extreme. Few have the stomach for Marcus Aurelius Stoicism, easier by far to fall into libertinism and then cast Christians as villains depriving the atheist of fun and games. Muzzies though also fit the description intentionally because the whole basis for the religion is 'submit' and then sotto voce, or 'die'.
And they endlessly recite their Koran without thinking as many of them don't actually understand Arabic and those that do, thinking is dangerous as the entire religion condones killing heretics and those that lose the faith. And when that document is examined, it is found to be full of holes, contradictory, and lies. As if the purpose was to create a political and military movement to supplant the existing Christians in the Middle East and displace them as king of the hill.

What's interesting is that today's Communists are not of the Marxist-Leninist wing but the Anarchist one. That's part of why I keep getting Spanish Civil War vibes these days.
Also worth recalling that there were three Anarchist rebellions in the runup to the actual war, followed by a major insurrection in Asturias that required the Foreign Legion to suppress.
I suspect if the fall elections disappoint the Dems, we will see more overt violence on their part.

Islam started as a Christian heresy, and it was later retconned into a faith to support the new Arab empire. The gaps and contradictions are where Christian teachings were inconvenient and papered over because of pressing dynastic needs.
Thus: Mohammed was given license to do nasty stuff because that was what the rulers were doing and they wanted a precedent to legitimize it.

Psaki, I'm pretty certain, had no problem with people involved in the January 6th "Insurrection (tm)" being tossed in prison for the crimes of walking on the grass, not even walking through doors that had been opened for them.

The GOP is slowly but systematically being purged of the old Establishment hacks. It's Trump's party now, and you either adapt or you will get flushed out. This is particularly true at the local and state level, and those people will go on to run for governor and congress in the coming years.
The Dems have a serious problem with succession because the old guard never retired, and is impossible to remove, so they are dying off leaving much younger and more radical successors who have never had power and the discipline it brings. That's why their Gen X politicians are all perverts and Nazis, because the mainstream was locked down by the Pelosi/Schumer generation.

Gramsci is who the current Marxists follow and it was he, in Italian prison, that formulated the ideas that the left, in order to have a successful revolution in an industrial society, had to at first destroy the existing society. Marxism after WWI had a problem in that the predicted revolutions by Marx were failing or non existent in industrialized societies and were only finding ground in more primitive ones like Russia, China, etc.
Gramsci is the one that provided the framework for the Frankfurt School to demoralize and destroy Western society by harping on its faults and claiming its successes were in fact evil.

What did Trump say when he came on the scene.
He wants to ban muslims. He wants to punish women and doctors for abortions. Then he "softened".
But he was one guy. You are seeing the same thing being done now, but from the other side of the fence. The extreme views are getting air time and now just significantly leftarded things suddenly seem "moderate". And they get to play both sides of it which keeps them impossible to pin down. This is a controlled demolition of the Democrat Party.

This is exactly what they did in Spain. When the Popular Front gained power in 1936, they emptied the jails, unleashing an orgy of violence and that was what ultimately pushed the generals into mounting a coup.
The problem the Dems have is that they are likely going to be locked out of power due to more honest elections. Our elections have been broken for about a decade, but Trump is cleaning it up, and the courts are belatedly recognizing the mortal danger of continuing to turn a blind eye to the problem.
That's why I see armed rebellions, and Trump is slowly building the case for going after the leadership.
I want to add that all the stuff we are seeing about El-Sayed and all the other candidates was held back for a reason. It is very old news, but kudos to the Michigan GOP for keeping it under lock and key until after the primaries.

The question for all of us is whether we will get backsliding when Trump is gone in 2028. The problem is that the GOP donor class WANTS cheap labor and new consumers from immigration. And they want to be able to send work abroad to fatten profits to slowly strangle and impoverish American workers. So you keep seeing candidates push amnesty like Mike Lindell or talk frankly off mike to those donors like the current governor of Idaho talking to Ag employers. Those people, including many small businessmen, view cheap labor as their right and that is because it fattens their pocketbooks. And those in big corporations want a borderless world--food stamps for all plumps Walmart, endless Medicaid, plumps Big Medicine and Pharma, and sending work abroad and H1Bs lessen labor costs so that top executives get fatter salaries.

If you look at the painting carefully, you'll see the ghost of another painting underneath it. Picasso was dirt-poor in his blue-period years, and it was common for him to reuse his canvases by just painting over them.
As for Canada and Alberta, I lived in Canada for five years, and my impression is that Alberta will make noises about going independent, but what Albertans really want is a better deal from Ottawa - something akin to the special treatment that Quebec gets now - to give them more control over their natural resources. I would be stunned if it led to a full-blown independence movement, let alone petitioning to join the United States: the ties to Confederation are simply too strong, and the barriers to independence too high.

The Morning Report — 8/ 14 /26
really reflective of a national trend towards socialism, but if so then why is the Democrat Party establishment so desperate to put a muzzle on freaks like EL Sayed, Talarico and of course Hong and all the rest. And so with that as a set-up, there's this piece...
Are there Republicans who’ve doctored their resumes? Sure. But faking your past, or your views, or the sound of your voice seems to be a job requirement for Democrat politicians these days. The Talarico campaign distanced itself from these folks after their cover was blown. But everything about Talarico is as fake, from his Christianity to his barbecue photo op. Around the same time, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, last seen trying out a fake southern accent at an event in Memphis, was trying to pretend that she’s not a crazy leftist despite being a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, which wants to defund the military, close prisons, open the borders, eliminate the Senate, the presidency and the Supreme Court, and nationalize various industries. When ABC News’ Jonathan Karl asked about her past statements, she laughed that “woke 1 was crazy,” and blamed COVID because “I think that, you know, during lockdown, of course, rhetoric in that time is not rhetoric that we would use today.” . . .Our best guess is that Democrats are more likely than Republicans to do this because for most Democrats, their only interest is getting and keeping government power. They love government and want to control its every lever. And if that means pretending to be a normie for the rube voters, so be it. But, shucks, whadda we know? We’re just a buncha gosh-darn banjo-pickin’ hillbillies from yonder flyover country.Sure the Democrats either outright lie about their true intentions or else do their best to cover them up. To me it's another puzzler, do the Democrats really think they can bamboozle a significant portion of normal America into voting for them? But lest we forget, anyone with eyes to see and more than two functioning brain cells could plainly see the dangerous fraud that was Barack Obama and yet there he was in 2008 and then again in 2012 winning the presidency and the fuse was lit. As CBD noted on the podcast, horrid as the purple-lipped closet-queen America-hating thug was and still is, he was slick and polished enough to really fake it all the way. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens both this coming November and then two years after that to see if Trump and the MAGA movement are just speed bumps on our inevitable road to hell or if they are please God a real course correction back to American restoration.
Until then we'll be enduring this depravity.
The National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., was vandalized Thursday with red graffiti reading “Clean Hands Dirty $,” while soap dumped into its fountain filled the memorial with bubbles. Authorities blocked off the fountain Thursday afternoon as U.S. Park Police investigated the vandalism. The Interior Department called the incident an “utter disgrace” and vowed to find whoever is responsible. “The World War II Memorial is a sacred place to honor the service of our members of the Armed Forces and the over 400,000 Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice in WWII,” the department said. “The vandalism that occurred is an utter disgrace and will not be tolerated.”Were I a betting man, I'd lay odds that the piece(s) of shit that did this are registered Democrats or full on DSA freakazoids. He/She/It deserves being bull-whipped on live television preferably by any WW2 veterans of which I'm sure there'd be volunteers out the wahzoo. And then, speaking of fakers and takers, there's this horrendous outburst for which there is no rational excuse.
Curtis Sliwa on Thursday told relatives of 9/11 victims who want New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani kept away from this year’s Ground Zero commemoration to “stop being sore losers,” arguing that they should respect the office even if they disagree with the person holding it. “He’s the mayor. Stop being sore losers!” Sliwa told reporters Thursday. “You knew this is Zohran Mamdani. He was never a fake, phony, fraudulent, fugazi like a lot of politicians. He told you who he was.”Yes, asshole, he told us who he was and what he said and what he is utterly underscores justification of his being barred from within 10,000 light years of Ground Zero Forever. Curtis Sliwa's logic would allow for a furlough from prison and a limousine ride to the 9/11 ceremony for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Sliwa should only die, be cremated and his ashes dumped in the Marianas Trench next to Bin Laden. Seems appropriate. I lost an old schoolmate and was nearly a victim myself that day, you Scumbag. On these and all the rest of it, I nevertheless bid you all to have a great weekend!

When Obama's brand of Leftism was the most potent brew on offer, they chose that. Now their own cohort is growing into power as the boomers and silents die off, so it's getting more and more potent.
Soon, a huge number of those older people will die off, leaving only the small cohort of Xers, who will not have the numbers to matter in context of the much larger Millennial generation.
Everything goes full tilt at that point, because Millennials will be able to completely actualize their politics and give us the full Mangione. That's when the DSA types drop the "D" pretense altogether, and say "we're the vanguard of the woke folk, all hail the Party and its Maximum Thought Leader, Oliver Logan al-Amriki."

"New Data"—No sources of this "New Data"™ are cited, which means it was pulled out of some politician's ass who is trying to flee the 90% demand for the SAVE America Act.
"Healthcare" is always an issue, if the issue is: How can we steal even more money and obtain more power in Babylon DC
Why? Because no one on planet earth can define "healthcare". Its one of the most eisegeted words used today (along with "Racism")
The other clue: "too much money is going through the insurance companies"
Translation: Babylon DC demands a bigger cut.
So instead of SAVE America Act, we are supposed to embrace even more government takeover of one-sixth the total economy.

Based on their commentary on social media, it seems to be more along the traditional lines of "I made bad decisions. I don't have everything I want and other people have more so the government should take from them."

Healy is nominally Roman Catholic, like Biden, and like Pelosi.
The RC church needs to get tough on abortion and start visibly excommunicating these people, and not just quietly bar them from taking communion (a debarment I doubt Pelosi takes seriously anyway).

During the last mayors election I wondered why Sliwa was not taken seriously as a candidate, so I read as much as I could find about him. And I was surprised to find, from the sum total of what I saw, that most New Yorkers considered Sliwa to be a constantly self promoting, Jew hating nutcase. This story serves only to support that conclusion.

What I can't figure out is, are the frightening polls including by our wonderful friends at the Heartland Institute really reflective of a national trend towards socialism, but if so then why is the Democrat Party establishment so desperate to put a muzzle on freaks like EL Sayed, Talarico and of course Hong and all the rest.”
I believe that this is yet another sign that, even when the numbers come from people who are our allies, polling is now worthless except as a propaganda tool (which is it keeps being done)
The problem is not just bias of the pollster; the problem is that the entire mathematical underpinnings of polling is no better than phrenology or divining chicken entrails. It’s like expecting pinpoint accuracy to come from reading a horoscope.
Add to that the sad fact that political attitudes are now treated like fashion statements by much of the electorate.

The Fox news polls are the worst though...they literally reflect nothing of reality on the ground in politics and never had - their track record is the worst among pollsters - yet the hosts of the news programs (all liberals) try and make their hapless guests answer to them...it's the point of these polls, to get conservative guests to admit somehow that no one wants them out in the heartland - it's purpose is getting them to admit to a lie.

“58% of likely voters aged 18-39 support government-run grocery stores in every town in America.” 58% of those 18-39 want stuff that is cheap or free and haven’t thought about it any more deeply than that.
“62% of likely voters aged 18-39 said they would support more government housing and nationwide rent freeze.” Ditto.
“44% think their economic future and personal happiness will be worse than their parents, only 22% believe it will be better.”
44% have seen the way things have gone the last 20 years and drawn a rational conclusion. It’s the job of any who wish to lead to convince them that this trend can be reversed. Very few republicans “get” this simple fact.

Big business (and their lobbyists that work Congress over to get the desired result) couldn't care less about America. As long as they can make money by paying less in wages, that's where their loyalty lies. It's disgusting.
In reading Ron Chernow's Washington, during the Revolutionary War, Washington would be apoplectic at the big farmers and others selling their wares to the British, not because they were Loyalists, but to make a boatload of money. Who cares if the Continental Army had no provisions and barely any money to survive and just might lose the war because of it. All they cared about was the money they could make, even to the detriment of the patriots. Some things never change.

ANY poll showing him within a country mile of Paxton is full of shit and just more of the theft attempt of every f*cking election of this country.

I've tried my best to explain my perspective from the start...
It's WWF style infighting. The DNC gets to push hard toward socialism without having to completely own it. Maybe in case the push goes tits up, but I think more because they have their candidate picked and it will be a "bridge" candidate that will satisfy the establishment, the normies (by seeming safe), and the DSA who will get some big wins along the way.
Like maybe the DSA get to knock Kamala or Newsom out in some showy WAY. They feel they are making their mark. This is how I expect it to go.
Always remember the Left plans 3 to 5 years in advance. They have the media, intelligence agencies, and half or more of the opposing party. This "popular" move toward socialism is a yuge psy op, not unlike covid, blm, metoo. It's designed to fool even people like us.

Exactly. There are multiple videos out there where they've figured it out. The left is paying the pollsters to come out and publish ranting bullshit in effort to skew the voting public to either change their vote or scare them away.
And our side is stupid enough to stay home, as they showed in the past couple election cycles.

Exactly this. It’s a psy-op. There’s an interesting perversion of this technique used in business and academia. Originally it was developed by the Rand Corporation as a method of refining expert opinion.
It’s called the “Delphi Technique” for dealing with contentious issues in group settings. Local governments use it a lot, and you’ll see it at fake “Town Halls” sometimes. Generally anytime they start talking about neutral “Facilitators” being brought in, or breaking down everyone into smaller groups.

One day in the next year or so we are going to wake up in a new world, and not even know what happened. Republicans will be the old tired eatablishment. Democrats will be the "working" (har) man. All the cultural and psychological seeds are being sown for it.
I keep saying (though I wouldn't bet) I think we are headed toward a male nominee for the Demorats. Women seem to be being beaten back hard, suffering a lot of cultural blows at once, that all seem disparate. Could just be "zeitgeist" driving those things but I don't think so.
Tea leaves have been read. Trump's drive toward masculine leadership, mostly the day he got shot, put paid to their First Woman bs. This is now convenient for the Left who are at present kissing up to their new friends in Islam. The Left will always push - and they will step on anyone to do it. And they will lie, so women won't even know it's being done to them.

If they don’t, we lose.
There is only one way to beat their fraud machine, and Trump exposed it. Show up in large enough numbers that a win for the other side is statistically impossible. It’s math.
There is also a dearth of responses to people who have legitimate concerns. You cannot win only talking about how bad the other guy is. Even of that is the honest truth. People don’t seem to understand just how bad things will be under Democrat rule. It wasn’t that long ago they were in charge. We are still trying to drag ourselves out of the malaise they created. Going back will only make things worse.
We’ve become terrible at making cogent, understandable arguments to people about the policies we have. X and tv sound bites are no replacement for speaking with people directly.

Examples of government action are the purported kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer. False flag ops.
"In April 2009, Obama's Department of Homeland Security assessment warned of a rise in right-wing extremism fueled by the election of the first Black president. An internal intelligence memo titled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment" was distributed to law enforcement. The memo suggested that disgruntled returning military veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan would be recruited by right wing extremists to become political assassins.
It was, of course, all a lie. There were no violent right wing extremists. The SPLC had to create their own by funding nut jobs to do their dirty work and blame it on Republicans.
Racial hatred is the only lasting impact of the Obama administration."

In the states we are lucky they only did this at the small to medium city level in most places, and that PDT has largely stopped it. And, of course, lucky that unlike the poor doomed brits, we are armed (which is why they couldn't take it as far or as fast here)

I'm sorta with you. Sorta.
Look at Silents, Boomers, GenX, and Gen Z - none of them are political monocultures.
But my generation, who I grew up with, are. I'd reckon fewer than 10% of us are right of center, and the majority of the rest are *far* left of it (as such things are defined at this moment). We were perfectly and completely indoctrinated in a way that wasn't possible before or since. We're the best they can ever do, vis-a-vis the New Soviet Man.
For the next several decades, we're the majority.

I believe there’s evidence to support the idea that this was actually connected to a large online betting site.

Whoever should have run ads showing this with sad music and Abdul smirking face instead of ads disrespecting bitches like Whitmer and Mooch.
Far-left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has campaigned heavily on his credentials as a doctor and public-health official, is under fire over his time leading the Detroit Health Department, during which the city’s animal-control operation euthanized more than 4,000 dogs and cats.
According to records obtained by the Daily Mail, nearly 4,680 dogs and cats were put down by Detroit Animal Care and Control between 2015 and 2017 while El-Sayed served as executive director and health officer.
In 2015 alone, the facility killed 1,988 dogs and 272 cats, accounting for more than a quarter of all dogs euthanized in the county that year.

Every politician, political party, corporation, etc., that wants to get a fairly accurate targeted audience perception of candidates, products, corporate reputation, etc, commissions and purchases private polls. Or has it's own internal polling operation. Both types run by personnel with proven track-records of utility and accuracy of results. Hillary's 2016 private polling was famously inaccurate. That's why we've never since heard of her now-infamous campaign manager, Robby Mook.
Publicly-released poll results by 'pros' are worth what the public pays for them. Nothing.

But the answer isn’t to go back to that. It’s counterintuitive. That’s why I don’t believe any of the polls that state people trust Denton the economy. You have to be a deep space alien not to know what’s happened since Biden and Democrats took over.

Remember that one time years ago you got drunk, and the hangover lasted for a week. The one where you promised yourself you would never drink again? That.
I don’t believe people understand just how much damage Democrats did to the economy. They flooded the country with money that wasn’t productive and used Covid as their excuse. It turned every economic incentive upside down and beat the productive sector with a lead pipe.
Think about the macro cycle associated with that paradigm. You steal money from taxpayers at confiscatory rates. You hand it out to people who don’t produce anything. Almost zero economic payback. Worse, it becomes inflationary as the people you hand it out to spend that largess on everything and distort the market. Add to that millions of illegal immigrants who produce almost zero economic activity getting huge taxpayer funded handouts. That undermines all our social welfare programs and makes them fiscally unsound. They also distorted (read inflated) the cost of everything from housing and food to medical care. There isn’t even enough room for me to continue, but you get the point. Two years ain’t enough.

C.S. Lewis: favorable conditions NEVER come
There are always plenty of rivals to our work. We are always falling in love or quarreling, looking for jobs or fearing to lose them, getting ill and recovering, following public affairs. If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work.
The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable. Favorable conditions never come.

----- Save your stuff on devices you own. Music, photos -- yeah, we all know that. It even applies to TV broadcast footage!! PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data comprising 70 years of TV history after contracted cloud storage vendor goes defunct
Nine PBS is afraid that it will lose over 70 years of archival materials and programming after its contracted cloud storage vendor has apparently gone out of business. According to Current, the channel used Open Source Storage, or OSS, for storing over 50TB of data — but it suddenly lost access to its data earlier this year. Nine PBS has been working with OSS and its predecessor since 2019 and intended to renew its contract on March 6 of this year. The company never responded and abruptly cut off the station’s data access even though it still had 30 days to retrieve its data after the contract ended. The station dug a little bit deeper when it discovered that the OSS website no longer existed and was listed as delinquent under the Colorado Secretary of State. It also discovered that OSS utilized Iron Mountain’s services, so it sent a demand letter to the latter to preserve its data and to "pay any reasonable costs associated with its demand." At the time, Iron Mountain did not confirm or deny that it possessed Nine PBS’ data.
This wouldn't have been an issue if the organization bought a $1,000 NAS and populated it with a few hard drives.
100.7 "The Bay" - Classic Rock radio station in Baltimore went off the air last night, just before Midnight. The station was sold and the frequency is now a Christian Contemporary music station. The folks at The Bay posted their playlist from their final hour on the air. Seems like they had fun taking a poke at the new format.

Not exactly growing up. By the time they brought out the PC in 1981, I had already been computing on my Radio Shack Model I for three years. It was the FUTURE!
I skipped the PC and didn't upgrade until the PC-AT. Did get the Shack Model 100 "laptop" in the meanwhile, and logged into CompuServe, pre-wwweb.
I knew every chip in that Model I and even messed with some of them in ways I never could later.

A buddy and I bought the Borland C and split the cost ($500). My middle son was writing software at the his age of 16.
He got his MS in Comp Sci 15 years ago and is now ridiculously wealthy.
In hindsight, it was cheaper than putting him through college, although I did pony up the $5,000 that he owed the Univ. of Toronto so he could graduate.
I think of it as a great investment in my son's future.

I like Phil Keaggy, because he was a virtuoso guitar player who used his talent for Christ. Sadly, a lot of "christian" musicians these days want to use the genre to jump into mainstream pop. They can't write, they can barely sing, and none of it is worshiping God, it seems to worship the singer. Hubby calls it worshiptainment. It's not a compliment.

Same thing, but Lewis and Floorwax in Denver. I was on my way to work, and they were talking about a plane hitting one of the buildings, and were watching it on one of the news stations; and then they watched the second plane hit. Wait, what?
25 years later it still hurts. Fuck islam. Fuck mohammed. Fuck allah.

I have yet to see a flock camera. I guess either busy driving or spaced out, but am going to look and wave.
My 95yr old mother, in the boonies, called about some excitement down the road (which I find fit for Morons).
Apparently there was an ambulance, fire truck, sheriff and hwy patrol car at a farm. I still haven't figured out the hwy patrol, but whatever.
A woman walked 3 miles or more to get in a neighbor's pen of baby goats and frolic. When the owners told her to get off their property she claimed dehydration and walked into a large pond up to her head. At this point 911 was called.
When the deputies got her name they called her husband who refused to come pick her up.
Therefore the ambulance took her away.
Cue song: "They're Coming to Take Me Away" Hahaheehee. 1966 Napolean XIV

But it can be a problem for anyone, even doctors.
And when Constipation occurs, it's interesting to see just what doctors consider important about a laxative they might use or recommend.
Well, a majority of the doctors we heard from had this to say.
A laxative should be effective, gentle, as close to natural acting as possible, and a medicine that can be used with complete confidence.
Now, Ex-lax has been popular with many doctors and millions of people over the years because pleasant-tasting chocolatey Ex-lax is effective.
Overnight it helps you toward your normal regularity.
Ex-lax is gentle.
Next morning it gives you the closest thing to natural action.
And that's why many doctors and millions of people use Ex-lax with complete confidence.
Ex-lax, the laxative that helps you toward your normal regularity, gently, overnight.
Is Ex-lax in your medicine cabinet?

There is something about a dish pan full of nice warm soap suds that makes a woman feel that her dishes will come out really clean.
Every tiny granule dissolves completely in your dishwater, whips up to billowy clouds of suds and White King suds rinse away quickly and completely too when you douse your dishes with hot water.
Leave china, glassware and silver so extra bright they dry in a jiffy.
White King soap is extra kind to hands too.
It is so easy on lovely hands that thousands and thousands of ladies who use it say I love White King.

Over 30 high school students from Humble ISD's Kingwood High School and Atascocita High School were taken on a school-day field trip to the Centro Islamico, operated by IslamInSpanish in the Houston area.
The visit included a tour, lunch from halal food trucks, observation of midday prayer, and a presentation. Students were even provided scarves. A CAIR Houston representative spoke to them about their "rights as Muslim students and allies."

He had the light pen, and a program that displayed options for crust, size, ingredients of a pizza. The computer would dial the pizza place. The artificial larynx (Speak & Spell, Stephen Hawking) would place the order. Pretty slick.
I should add, he modified the kit so instead of sixteen lines of 64 characters each in b&w, his had a full 16-color CGA of twenty-four lines of 80 chr each (wasn't it?). It displayed a bit oddly, filling in the 16*64 first and then painting the rest of the screen, but it worked.

If we went back to executions and long prison terms like we had in the 50s we'd have the crime rates of the 50s.
But the government isn't interested in that. So instead they offer endless monitoring that only ever results in them telling us "we were monitoring that killer before he killed. And its a good thing we were monitoring him because otherwise, uh, well, he would have killed people without us monitoring him first!"

So there's a bullshit commercial on here showing a dude dipnetting claiming that somehow Sen. Sullivan is decimating the salmon population, which of course, he is not. The dude says dipnetting is his only way of supporting his family and his COMMUNITY.
It is illegal to sell dipnetted salmon, or to take more than the family limit, so what is he saying here, exactly?
Fuckwad.

Funny story - the guy that I was dating at the time had never kissed a girl, either. So we kinda looked at each other. He asked if I knew what to do. I said no. He said he didn't, either.
So he said he would ask his older brother how to go about it, and we agreed to go out again the next week and try it out. Which we did. Over and over. Fun times.
We were good kids, though - both of us went to our respective spouses as virgins (I always figured that with my luck I would end up pregnant the first time I had unmarried sex, and I didn't want to have to tell the parental units that their innocent little girl wasn't quite so innocent 😂

The Buckner Building was built during the Cold War as a self-contained facility, so yeah, that was the idea. I think the Begich Towers work sorta that way, it's all condos although some of them are relet, so that people who fish out of Whittier have somewhere to shack up. No idea why else you would live there, unless you run the tunnel or the ferry terminal. But, when you drive in, you bring whatever you need, because there really is nowhere to buy groceries or necessities. There is a pretty good ice cream joint, but only during the summer. I have no idea who lives there year around. Not many.

This is the second time ever I was given a task to complete in a dream before a dead loved one showed up to shoot the shit with me. So weird.
In this case I was looking through documents in boxes. It's almost like the task comes along to keep me engaged and "in it". I have since researched and seen similar reports in what seem like "visit" dreams. I embraced her and then she had to go. I couldn't hold on but the dream world stayed which is very different from how lucid dreams go. Those vanish entirely. I was sad all day today, it was like losing her again.

I lost my BFF in first grade to a brain tumor. Linda Austin. She was amazing in every way. When she lost her hair, mom let me shave my head to be in solidarity with her.
She died when she was nearly 7 years old. Not a day goes by when I don't offer up a prayer for her. Sometimes I dream of her as well. I don't think I can quite summon up her face when awake, but I seem to know her immediately when I'm asleep.
It isn't weird. It is confirmation of love. Don't be sad. Be very, very happy at being blessed by a personal visit after the fact.

Anywhere you go there are cameras. Any store you go to. And if you go into a bank, a drug store to a wal mart a hardware store. They have them looking down streets, and high crime areas. Big deal. I don't care. If they help stop crime, great. If you don't like them, why? You doing something wrong? If not why do you care? Suppose some sorry ass decided to key your car and got caught on a flock camera and the sorry ass got thrown in jail, would you hate that? I don't think so.

The headless rats? I must bag & dispose of... somewhere.
If it's close to garbage day, I'll put it in my own can. If it's *merely hours after* weekly pick up I'll take it to a gas station or some other store-- where it will be taken out to a dumpster within a few hours and won't bother anyone else.

Something that isn't wrong today might be wrong tomorrow.
And we've already seen people retroactively punished as a rule for just that. Ruined by something they tweeted in 2011 when they were 17 and people had a sense of humor. As a rule.
So it's not that I'm bothered by flock or not bothered, just that I am not particularly comforted by the logic.

It wouldn't take a Flock camera to do that; an ordinary monitor camera could catch that act. Flock cameras are automated license plate readers, so the database knows who you are, and everywhere you go. I'm sure they, or the police, combine that with cellphone geolocation data, and God knows what else. The potential for abuse is enormous, and numerous abuses are already on record.

"Leandra's Law"
Leandra, age 11, was unfortunately killed in a drunk driving incident. Horrible, no doubt about it.
The thing is, it was ALREADY illegal to drive drunk and ALREADY manslaughter to kill someone while driving drunk.
The drunk driver in this case pulled a 4-12 year sentence, BEFORE "Leandra's Law" was a thing. You could argue that should've been more, and I wouldn't dispute it.
The new "law" provides for a sentence of up to four years and a fine of $1000–$5000.
In other words, less than the perp got under the existing law.
But everyone got to grandstand for the cameras instead of doing actual useful work.

When hubby first got sick and I ended up "retiring" from job to care for him-- older bro called and when I told him what's going on, his only reply was a *very sarcastic* "good luck with that."

I often bitch about my neighbors on here. It reached a pinacle last Monday. Both parents arrested for felony neglect or abuse. I don't think there was physical abuse as I know the kids pretty well. The neglect part I can believe. The mom is shit. Antifa minded twat. The dad is somewhat okay but he keeps her stupid ass around so... I won't even go into the dude with blood all over his face telling me as I drove past I should stay away from them. Like I don't know that. Their kids on the otherhand I have known since 2 yo and birth. They are friends with my grandkids. They are also a bit slow. They also instigate a lot of shit. I keep them on a tight leash when they are here.
Gahhh. I don't even know what to think about this. Now I get to explain to my grands why their friends aren't coming over.

Indeed. Guevara hates da gheys. He begged for his life at the very end.
" Guevara dropped his own fully functional rifle, with a near full magazine, and begged, 'Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot! I am Che Guevara and I am worth more to you alive than dead!' As his small guerilla force was being decimated below, in the very trap he had led them into, Guevara’s only concern was for himself as he continued to plead with the Bolivian Rangers not to kill him."

Abdul keeps getting better and better. The Dem establishment tried to br___ him down with commercials saying he disrespected women.
They should have used this...
Abdul must not like dogs.
Far-left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has campaigned heavily on his credentials as a doctor and public-health official, is under fire over his time leading the Detroit Health Department, during which the city’s animal-control operation euthanized more than 4,000 dogs and cats.
According to records obtained by the Daily Mail, nearly 4,680 dogs and cats were put down by Detroit Animal Care and Control between 2015 and 2017 while El-Sayed served as executive director and health officer.
In 2015 alone, the facility killed 1,988 dogs and 272 cats, accounting for more than a quarter of all dogs euthanized in the county that year.

I was surprised that ATF didn't ask for a stay but they still have another 50-something days to file an appeal so anything can still happen. That said, I'm not sure how many people who wanted one were still being put off post-OBBB. Some for sure, but tens of thousands? Millions? I dunno.
When OBBB passed, my prediction was that increased demand would lead to increased prices which would lead to increased production and/or new producers which would lead to decreased prices. That actually doesn't seemed to have happened. So will it happen now? Again, I dunno. It still seems reasonable to me but I'm a proven loser at predicting what other people will do.

Quick Hits
Joshua CarrAnd if you thought "they'll next accuse Tyler Robinson's lawyers of being part of the conspiracy to frame him because they admitted he killed Charlie Kirk," step up to the cashier to collect your winnings. Huh: Scott Bessent says that George Soros, who he used to work for -- on the financial side, not the civilization-destroying foundation side -- tried to tank the markets after Trump's 2016 win, selling off everything to move the markets down. Bessent said he seized on that as a buying opportunity and made a fortune.
@Joshua_the_car I debated a Candace Owens fan last night. I kid you not he opened with this: "We all know this case is fishy because we've all watched CSI and Dexter and know how a crime scene works."
This behavior is normalized, indulged, and encouraged. We have been demoralized to the point where our weaklings and cowards, which is most of us, especially those politically-attuned enough to rise in woke bureaucracies, are too afraid to say "this is wrong and will be punished." Oh no, Hollywood wash-out "Lily" Wachowski, who now pretends to be a woman, cries that he can't get funding for a movie with an all-trans cast:
I saw someone mocking a leftwing female director for being just absolute crap. Then he pointed out, "It's funny that the 'Wachowski sibilings' haven't made a good movie since they became 'women.'" I think that's actually true. When was the last time they made a good movie? To be honest, I never really gave a shit about The Matrix and I don't understand why people are so ga-ga for it. But fine, I'll count that. What since? The sequels were trash. Didn't they do that terrible Stallone/Banderas dueling assassins movie? That was horrible. Then they did Jupiter Ascending, an infamous bomb. I've heard Cloud Atlas is decent but here's the thing -- I never believed that. Gavin Newsom visited early-primary-state Michigan to talk up how similar California and Michigan are. That's the whole problem, says Justine Bateman.
Justine BatemanAnd how did this little ponce's visit go? Not well. His tour of Michigan was marked by cancellations and pitiful crowds.
@JustineBateman LOL. Your comparison between these two cities is very significant. Detroit's main industry of automotive production was destroyed and left the town hollowed out. The same thing is happening with Los Angeles. The entertainment business has been steadily drained from this place for at least a decade. LA will soon be hollowed out just like Detroit. It is becoming just sprawling city with no central industry at all.
Calling it Newsom's "swing (and miss) state tour," Politico reported on Wednesday that his "buzzy X posts and vertical videos" from Michigan "this week suggest a slam dunk trip to an early nominating state." But even though Newsom's social media feed racked up "a million views of a 65-hour tour," Politico noted that "the posts may also be the latest sign that social media is not real life." Translation: It was a trip notable mostly for bad execution and embarrassing turnout.
Saying Ann Arbor has a small Democrat donor base is like saying you couldn't spot any tech bros in Palo Alto. "He had a lot of good meetings," Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel told Politico, adding Newsom was a big hit at a local barbecue. I believe this was the barbecue:
Some Michigander politicos pointed out that Newsom canceled a fundraiser with state AG nominee Eli Savit that included the controversial host Kelly Neumann, according to an invite obtained by POLITICO and circulated to some Democrats who didn't realize the event was canceled when Newsom's team was made aware of Neumann's background. Newsom initially planned two competing fundraisers in Ann Arbor on Sunday, one for Savit and one for the state House Democrats. When the latter found out about the Savit fundraiser they pulled out, citing a small Ann Arbor donor base.

Michigan gaybros are you voting for Abdul El-Seyed?
I’m a white gay who’s been out for nearly 30 years, and met and befriended many Muslims, I’ve never felt an ounce of judgment. If anything a sense of camaraderie in that we’re both “othered” in US society.
I used to lived in San Francisco Castro (gay district) and some of the businesses are owned by Muslims in the area. They are the most friendliest people I know.
Yes, vote for him! Not only this guy has all the dreamy qualifications one can ask for, but he is also a vocal, progressive ally with a track record that is endorsed by LGBTQ organizations.
He's the quintessential American dream (boat). An Ivy League graduate, a Rhodes Scholar, plays lacrosse, and he's extremely well-spoken. An epidemiologist? It's time for dumb-dumbs to go bye-bye.
He and Mamdani are FIIIIINE.
I can’t believe some gay men are so islamophobic they’d rather a Republican win 🥲

Oh, Deadline had this....
As trans onscreen representation takes a hit in Hollywood, Lilly Wachowski is attempting to make a film with an all-transgender cast… if only the industry will let her.
The Matrix co-auteur recently explained that despite some excitement over the script, financiers “really don’t want to make” her dystopian political thriller The Hunted, which is co-written with partner Mickey Ray Mahoney and budgeted at $10 million, due to the film’s “wall-to-wall trans cast.”
“People like it, but they really don’t want to make it because it’s wall-to-wall trans cast,” said Wachowski on KCRW’s The Business podcast. “I have to get creative and figure out different ways that I can get this in front of people.”

The 1960 presidential election is the most famous instance where Chicago corruption allegedly helped elect a U.S. president, with Mayor Richard J. Daley credited with steering Illinois and its electoral votes to John F. Kennedy through "dirty tricks" and a suspicious 450,000-vote margin in Cook County. While Kennedy won the state by only 8,000 votes, rumors of "voting from the grave" and machine manipulation persist, though some accounts suggest fraud was limited to about 100,000 votes and that Kennedy's strong support among Black voters reduced the need for widespread theft.

The WNBA ‘felt like a lifeline’ for LGBTQ+ fans. Anti-trans attacks are testing that refuge.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham’s remarks opposing transgender athletes in women’s sports injected political debate into a league with no openly trans women players.
...Vázquez, who is Black and queer, saw themself reflected in both the WNBA and its fanbase as they attended more games in person. “It felt like a lifeline to queer community at a time when I felt really disconnected from it,” they said. “It was really important to me that I would see intergenerational queer communities, like queer families and older lesbians, and it just felt so special to me in a way that I hadn’t seen in other sports.”
Jen Barnes, founder and CEO of Rough & Tumble, one of the nation’s first women’s sports bars, said Freedom’s and White’s declarations for the draft were “absurd” and misogynistic.
Hultquist, who works for an international LGBTQ+ nonprofit in the Seattle area, said “A very small number of people — probably not actually even fans of the league — are trying to use this opportunity and this issue to divide fans and divide players,”

I liked the first Matrix because the special effects were groundbreaking at the time. "Bullet time" was new in that film and made me wow. And I'm a sucker for power fantasy/chosen one plots.
But yeah. The sequels were mostly bad with a few bright spots, like Hugo Weaving's Agent Smith.

Maybe the special effects are why Star Wars, The Matrix, Jurassic Park, and Avatar were such big hits. How many of them would have been a footnote on MST3K without those features? And without the nostalgia filter, how would more modern audiences rate them?

Peak Cultural Enrichment: Muslim-Dominated City Council of Hamtramck, Michigan, Votes to Permit Animal Sacrifice in People's Backyards, Over Objections of Non-Muslim Minority
Hamtramck City Council votes to allow animal sacrifice for religious purposes in the city After months of debate, the city council has voted to allow the practice of animal sacrifice, for religious purposes, in Hamtramck. The decision ultimately came down to a more than 30-year-old U.S. Supreme Court ruling that says cities cannot infringe on religious freedom under the first amendment.This is the media, so they're lying to you (of course). The case they're talking about is the Santaria animal sacrifice case. The court did not find that people had a right to sacrifice animals. It found only that a law specifically passed to block a religious minority (Santaria) from sacrificing animals was a violation of the right to free exercise of religion. In other words, it is perfectly legal to generally ban animal sacrifice, or the slaughter of animals outside of a slaughterhouse and apply that law to religious minorities. The Supreme Court only said you cannot ban something specifically to thwart the practice of a religion. Presumably, slaughtering animals is already illegal in Michigan (except in licensed slaughterhouses) or else they wouldn't have had to pass an ordnance permitting it. So they're lying to you, as usual, giving it the "what's the big deal, the Supreme Court decided this in 1993 already" treatment. But it's a lie. And either these "expert journalists" can't be bothered to look up a major Supreme Court case, or did look it up, and chose to consciously lie to readers to convince them this is No Big Deal.
English speaker fluency level: Beyond native. In fact, there's already work-around for Muslims: They can just pay a butcher to slaughter an animal at the bucher-shop. But they're whining that that's not good enough. They want the Caliphate to exist here in America:
The act of animal sacrifice is often practiced among Muslims during Eid. "Our city is dirty enough. We don't want to make it more dirty," a Hamtramck resident said during a city hall meeting. "Really ridiculous catastrophic resolution," another one said. "If it's not passed then we are ready to take it to courts for religious rights because it is constitution."
Many Muslims pay a butcher to perform the religious sacrifice but for some families, it's just not practical. "A lot of families will typically do it in the confines of their property like in their backyard or their garage and dispose of the animal accordingly," Director of Safe Spaces at Cair Michigan Nour Ali said.
In Hamtramck, the first Muslim-majority city in America, an all-Muslim council just legalized backyard animal sacrifice.

Animal sacrifice is always tied to religion, even if it is satanic worship or something. At least as far as I know. What other situation would there be an animal sacrifice? Who would the animal be sacrificed to?
I haven't read the old decision, but it seams like it would be impossible to pass a ban that complies.

They specifically rely on demographic dominance to overwhelm the region before war, and even between wars they try to insert their kind into, or near, Christian villages or valleys and then out breed them so they will have an advantage when the war comes.
What we are seeing in USA is not a new response to new political conditions, it is their same old practice that they have used for centuries, and I am sure they are teaching this in mosques here and at the source countries to encourage people to migrate.

And that is a way that would pass SCOTUS scrutiny. Not a ban on animal sacrifice, which would always have a religious component, but on animal cruelty.
Animal cruelty is something that does not hinge on religious beliefs and so can be banned for all.

So they're just slaughtering animals for food? Same as everyone else on the planet? But they're brown, so let the bigotry, racism, and ignorance flow from there.
No one cares about Larry sharing the deer he processes in his garage, but God forbid Amir slaughters a goat all under the supervision of religious leader (in most cases, you know "halal") in his garage
If you've had Kosher or Halal food then you have had "animal-sacrificed" food. It's not like they're doing some ritual of burning an animal alive for the sake of killing an animal.
Spent 15 months in Iraq and broke bread with community leaders and religious leaders. You think they had the cleanest work stations in there run down facilities? No, but boy did that goat Smack

Children tend to be protected from the reality that animals are killed for humans to eat. It is terrorizing to allow the slaughter to be done in public. imo

Stop treating it like one.

The Left loves its concept known as "Orientalism" -- the notion that westerners like to fetishize and "exoticize" the east (including the Middle East) and apply western standards to it, because we simply can't understand it with our limited western worldview.
But that's exactly what happened when the West encountered the thing called "Islam." Because we int he West had no word nor any concept to characterize the all-encompassing philosophy/lifestyle/military doctrine/economic system/social conformism/personal control of Islam, we just shrugged and called it a "religion," even though the followers of Islam itself did not think of it as a "religion," but simply "the only allowed way of existing."
That Western "orientalist" mischaracterization of Islam as a religion persists to this day.

And the Cross ended animal sacrifice. And 70AD made sure that there wasn't a Temple to do animal sacrifice unless God's Message wasn't clear.
If the Muslim savages feel a need for animal sacrifice, they have their own region of the world to do that in. Slaughter away and deal with God's Wrath from thousands of miles away.
This isn't about animal sacrifice. Its about colonization and conquering.
The depressing part is that the former United States no longer has the ability to slay its dragons, but instead wants to mate with the dragons.

On primary night, Flanagan showed a promising pivot toward the fall campaign, all but calling Tafoya “MAGA Michele” from the First Avenue stage.
It was pitch perfect.
Minnesota’s fraud is a stain that requires systemic correction. But the scope and reach of Trump’s self-enrichment and ransacking of the federal government continue to obliterate on a daily basis anything that has happened here.
If elected, I’d expect Tafoya to support most of Trump’s actions just as the Republicans in the state’s congressional delegation have done. Unless Tafoya, and Demuth as well, acknowledge and call out Trump’s historic grift, they should get no traction with voters.

So they're just slaughtering animals for food? Same as everyone else on the planet? But they're brown, so let the bigotry, racism, and ignorance flow from there.
No one cares about Larry sharing the deer he processes in his garage, but God forbid Amir slaughters a goat all under the supervision of religious leader (in most cases, you know "halal") in his garage
If you've had Kosher or Halal food then you have had "animal-sacrificed" food. It's not like they're doing some ritual of burning an animal alive for the sake of killing an animal.
Spent 15 months in Iraq and broke bread with community leaders and religious leaders. You think they had the cleanest work stations in there run down facilities? No, but boy did that goat Smack

This is America. We don’t do that you do that in your country and I got actually kicked off the site For that.
Probably being run by a left-wing woman or a Muslim. I don’t know but we can not allow this to happen in our country. We do not kill these animals cruelly it’s bad enough we kill them. We are not gonna put them out there and kill them cruelly. Can you imagine None of these people probably know anything about how to sacrifice this animal and a way that it is not cruel this is gotta stop.

I've seen several videos of human prisoners of various military and terrorist groups have their throats slit. The absolute panic and fear in their eyes certainly led me to believe it was tortuous.

I love my grandkids. The baby is easy (well, not yesterday as she wanted to be held vs playing). The 5yr old girl tested what is left of my patience today but I held on to my sanity. Grandson was fine and 8yrs.
Fine until parents arrived to change clothes to meet their new teachers (private school, in uniforms).
I asked the grandson nicely to "please go away" as he was messing with the baby I was quickly feeding a bottle. He then announced that I had been "mean" all day. I wanted to say, "Boy, you don't know what mean is" but did not. Later asked for an example and he grinned and said, "many examples." I told him this was baloney. Yes I was not my sizzling self as I am tired, but I was not mean to anyone. GAH

So lowering your taxes, deporting criminals, ending multiple wars, shrinking government, reducing fraud, restoring trust in the institutions (as far as what can possibly be salvaged), reducing inflation, restoring energy independence, removing crippling regulation, fast-tracking the development of new grid scale energy sources, de-weaponizing the federal agencies, while not taking a single dollar of payment from the taxpayers (e.g. donating his entire salary to charity) is "self-enrichment" and "ransacking".
Typical Leftist. Instead of accepting any responsibility for your own failed policies, wholesale looting of the treasury, fighting for foreign invaders to continue to slaughter and rape - just make up lies about Trump. This isn't even DARVO because they don't bother with even Denial just jump straight to Attack.

Once the old Dodge Main assembly plant in the heart of town closed down in 1980 and was torn down in 1981, Hamtramck began its downward slide. The Michigan State Supreme Court allowing GM to eminent domain parts of Hamtramck and “Poletown” to bulldoze it for a GM plant in the early 1980s further accelerated its fall. As families moved out or older people died off the Muslims moved in.

El-Sayed Also Hates Thanksgiving, Wants the Day to be for the Remembrance of the "Slaughter" of "Indigenous Peoples"
It's weird how these foreign anchor-babies keep turning out to be so thoroughly anti-American, isn't it?
You'd almost think they were foreign sleeper agents placed inside an enemy country they planned to subvert and harm from within. Before getting to Thanksgiving: It also turns out that this son-of-a-bitch oversaw a high-kill shelter where animals were kept in appalling conditions before being slaughtered.Clown WorldThe love of dogs is a Western thing. Many Muslims regard dogs as "unclean" and in fact propose banning dogs from public streets so that Muslims aren't forced to encounter these filthy animals.
@ClownWorld Michigan Democrats just nominated Abdul El-Sayed for Senate. He oversaw Detroit's animal shelter where the kill rate hit 74%, whistleblowers called it a slaughterhouse, and the city paid $63,000 to settle a lawsuit over the conditions. Feces backed up into kennels. Rats and cockroaches everywhere. This is the guy they want representing Michigan. He can't even take care of dogs. And he's supposed to represent you. Michigan deserves better.
The most basic and wholesome bits of American culture are anathema to him and must be destroyed:

It was not the nefarious design of the Europeans, but the natural response of the connection of populations without any historic immunity to new diseases.

During World War II under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, military guards shot and killed a small number of Japanese Americans and Japanese nationals detained in American confinement facilities.
While mass executions did not occur, isolated fatal shootings happened when guards claimed prisoners attempted to escape or during unrest.
Just a wee small number.
---
President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in February 1942, leading to the forced removal of over 120,000 Japanese Americans into remote camps.
The camps were managed under armed military guard, creating a volatile prison-like environment where rule infractions or perceived threats led guards to use lethal force. (AI)

They conquered and enslaved entire populations from differing tribes long before whitey came on the scene and it was business as normal among them all. The white settlers and government just upped the ante and conducted the same policies on an industrial scale.
Where he is wrong is that you can't go back and right a wrong that occurred 300+ years ago, there is no remedy for people who have long since died. There is not a living soul alive or that was directly affected by any of the policies of the US government during the expansionist period.

I know we like to dunk on FDR, and he was absolutely an evil bastard and the worst president we've ever had.
BUT the internment of the Japanese was a perfectly understandable response to the actions of many of those of Japanese descent in the United States. Michelle Malkin has a great book about the classified information they were acting on. (In addition to publicly know information)
I think it was wrong, but it wasn't a "THEY WERE ALL JUST RACISTS!!!" issue.

On Wednesday’s broadcast of “CNN NewsNight,” Washington Post Intelligence Lead Global Security Analyst Josh Rogin said that the real story from Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary is “that progressive whatever it is message, is gaining steam, even in Wisconsin, compared to yesterday, compared to last year, and will continue to gain steam.” And Francesca Hong “didn’t lose because of the message, she lost because the voters questioned her electability.”
Rogin said, “I think a lot of people are missing the story here. It’s not that she lost, it’s that, weak candidate, without any establishment support, almost won. She got 39% of the vote in Wisconsin, okay? And that’s not the state where the DSA is supposed to win. And, but for those stumbles in the final weeks, she would’ve won. And that is the trend. It’s not that she didn’t win the race, it’s that that message, that progressive whatever it is message, is gaining steam, even in Wisconsin, compared to yesterday, compared to last year, and will continue to gain steam. And, in effect, she didn’t lose because of the message, she lost because the voters questioned her electability.”

Seems Americans were much more fair about compensating and dealing with Indians, than the Indians were with other tribes, or with white Americans. They needed to trade with us since they had no metal, and no guns.
Squanto said he preferred to live with the whites, for their better culture. Massasoit said their problems would not come from the white men, but from other Indian tribes.
If we want to go back in time, then I still carry a grudge over Islam murdering and pillaging their way through the Christian lands about a thousand years ago. We have reparations coming from Islam, right?

'Fireworks suck’: Removed El-Sayed videos urged getting rid of the 4th of July tradition, raised replacing 2nd Amendment
I think I can live with this opinion if the other guy is an election denier. Pretty easy choice.
I'll be happy to campaign against this guy when we have a normal and sane GOP that believes in the Rule of Law and democracy, which is to say never again in my lifetime.
MAGA and their sympathizers are really contorting themselves to find ways to attack people like El-Sayed. No one cares about any of this. Imagine believing this was in any way relevant to a Senate election against an extremist election denier.
Are you so sure that there aren't enough moronic voters out there that this stuff won't matter? The last 10 years of politics has humbled me in this regard. However dumb you think our politics is, you can still be surprised.
This is why they say Talarico is a a vegan doctor who personally transes kids. (They will just make stuff up if need be)

One of the great American Tragedies is that the traitorous actions of only three Japanese-American individuals in the Niihau Incident was the final catalyst for Democrats to round up every Japanese-American they could get their hands on, ACTUALLY steal their land, money and possessions, and lock them up in concentration camps.
And the response was that the Issei and Nisei men locked up in these same camps turned out to be by far, the most ferocious soldiers to ever wear an American military uniform and defend this country.

The thing is they had more advanced cultures in N. America way back in the past. They were building towns of tens of thousands around mounds, etc., similar to Aztec and Maya but on a smaller scale.
If that evolution had continued the natives could have been a lot further ahead here than they were.
Something happened several millennia ago which destroyed that culture. The archaeologists and historians like to blame "climate change" (drought), of course, but it could've been something as common as economic collapse, loss of faith in leadership, and large-scale civil wars for all we know.

Islam is a political domination system that requires a religion-like fanatical adherence. It is a heresy of Catholicism, but one that takes out any personal responsibility for morality and moral behavior. It requires only submission to a god who is not knowable, and capricious, and demanding. Because their god is unknowable, there is no regard for investigating natural systems (i.e. science) nor any action by any person that would bring them closer to any ideal. Only submission, and jihad as commanded by their god.
It is worship of Satan, who can only destroy.

My favorite "fun fact" about Berkeley:
Just as in Anchorage, there were roving bands (not entire tribes) of Native Americans who had seasonal camps on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, attested by the occasional subsequent discovery of "shell mounds" -- garbage dumps where the natives would toss their oyster shells over the centuries.
Problem is, one of the shell mounds was in Emeryville, a boring industrial city, and another one was in Richmond, a run-down slum.
Desperate to claim some of that Indian authenticity, the city of Berkeley tried to trumpet the important of its purported shellmound -- even though there was no above-ground evidence of it anymore (presuming it ever even existed). The problem? All the shells now piled up there were actually from a modern seafood restaurant now on the site! Oooops. Carbon-dating showed no evidence of Native American presence after 780 AD, when they abandoned the site for unknown reasons.

WNBA: We Tried to Figure Out What a Woman Is But The Task Is Beyond Our Capabilities.
In fairness -- they're not biologists.
Collin RuggAmusing video of Enes Kanter working out, with her breasts censored.
@CollinRugg 6h NEW: The Women's National Basketball Association was unable to determine what a woman is during a meeting on Wednesday. A WNBA task force met to talk about transgender athletes, according to ESPN. "Today's meeting covered a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes..." the WNBA said in a statement. "We will continue to engage all league stakeholders in the coming weeks and months." "We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and in alignment with the values of our league. There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA." Remarkable. The Women's National Basketball Association needs months to figure out what a woman is.
EssentiallySportsWesley Yang pointed out, correctly, that you cannot separate "good faith efforts" to say that intact men can play women's sports from "bad faith efforts" to say intact men can play women's sports because both claims are the exact same claims. There is no difference between a good-faith argument that 2+2=4 and a bad-faith argument that 2+2=4. It's the same claim. The "faith" of the claim doesn't enter into it.
@ES_sportsnews
The WNBA has officially responded following a virtual task force meeting led by Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. Addressing both ongoing discussions around transgender athlete eligibility and online harassment directed at players, the league released a statement clarifying its stance: Key Takeaways From the WNBA Statement: - No Immediate Changes:
The league confirmed that "there are no immediate
eligibility matters affecting the WNBA," reiterating that current policy (Article XIII) simply states "only players who are women are eligible to play." - Denouncing Online Abuse:
The WNBA strongly condemned the "continued hate and vitriol directed at players online" and called out "bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others." - a direct response to recent announcements by former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring their intention to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft

@waltermasterson As a progressive, I fully support Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring themselves for the WNBA. I only ask that they commit to the bit. Medically transition. Take HRT, take blockers. Show us what your performance looks like when your body is at a deficit of both testosterone and estrogen. Do this for 2-3 years. Then show up to open tryouts and show us all how well you perform after gaining 30% in fat mass and losing 5% muscle mass. Go ahead Enes and Royce, chemically transition, or STFU.
Royce White 🇺🇸This is a great point: I see a lot of Yt men objecting to Kanter and Royce joining the league as the Proud Trans Women they are. Is this just Racism Straight-Up?
@Highway_30 Genitalia doesn't determine gender. That's a cis normative fallacy. My trans-affirming doctor told me I can think of my genitalia as 9 inches of clitoris. Royce White for President

Wesley Yang
@wesyang 4h Michelle Goldberg wrote a piece in Slate more than a decade ago trying to alert the world to the fact that under the new rules governing gender identity, any man who declares himself to be a woman is entitled to recognition as a woman. Since then, a few things have happened: 1.) the governing institutions of the Western world have all worked feverishly to inscribe this standard into law and policy, 2.) an army of hundreds of thousands of young people were memed into existence claiming cross-sex identities, only a small minority of whom have medicalized in any way, 3.) the state has promised this army a right to violate sex-based boundaries on the basis of a claim to a cross-sex identity, 4.) while the public somehow remains oblivious to this fact and cynical trans activists and allies lie and say that medicalization is required when it serves their interest to do so.
Wesley YangIf these Proud Trans Women aren't real Trans Women because they haven't had any medical "confirmation" of their perceived gender -- can we now say the 87-95% of trans "women" who also haven't had such medical "confirmation" are Just Dudes as well? Because I'll take that deal. (As a first step.)
@wesyang
What did y'all think "gender identity" meant? It means that male rapists and murderers can sue the state for entrance to women's prisons and win. It means that the European Court of Human Rights can declare that requiring genital surgery for cross-sex recognition is a human rights violation. It means that an unfalsifiable, unprovable, non-observable subjective inner state knowable only through self-report becomes the basis for conferring a right to recognition on anyone claiming it and a duty of affirmation of that claim on anyone interacting with anyone claiming that state. It means that under NY state law, former NBA players who declare themselves to be women can declare themselves to be women and apply for entrance to the WNBA and sue under New York State Human Rights Law, which contains no provision requiring any medicalization or demonstration of "sincerity" on the part of the plaintiff to quality as a "woman," if they are denied entry.
Mark Hemingway
@Heminator It's kind of amazing that they are now trying to create a specific definition of what a trans person is all in order to avoid having a specific definition of what a biological woman is.

Some are autistic people who knew they were different, and someone convinced them that meant they were trans. Some are low status lefties who know embracing trans makes them a special hero. Some are easily gulled people who want to be special. A great deal have multiple psychological issues and collect trendy self-diagnoses like Pokemon cards. Another large contingent are hyper-sexual freaks who are emotionally broken.

Actually, it's worse than that - most lesbians don't want anything to do with trannies, and so becoming an openly tranny league repels their main fan base.
It''s why we've gone from hundreds of lesbian bars forty years ago to less than twenty today - there is no way to keep the men wearing dresses out of the bars, so actual lesbians don't want to hang out there.

If a male has gone through puberty, they have gained all of the physical advantages over women regardless of having parts lopped off or hormone therapy.
I also seem to remember that even with cross sex hormones, trans women (dudes who want you to call them Loretta) still have 10x the testosterone of actual women.
So all this talk about the steps one needs to take to be considered a woman is so much hand waving.

Notice that, whether pro or con, the entire bitter argument revolves around *men impersonating women,* rather than vice versa.
That's because there are no societal or financial benefits to being a man.
When one of these crazy broads glues a toe to her pussy and goes around saying "yeah, homey I'm a total dude, bro, high five and fist bump, my man," everyone just says "ok, lady. You look like a huge fag. Welcome to manhood. Enjoy getting the short end of every stick, but I guess you're used to it, what with the toe thing. Try not to get confused and falsely accuse yourself of rape, or sue yourself into the poor house because you want to fuck your tennis coach on a trip to Ibiza."

The black lesbian WNBA players can certainly identify the white women who play well and bring in increased income and popularity for the league. They beat on them during games. And the management and coaches are fine with that, since they selectively excuse the beatings.
They seem to prefer the league as it was -- a money-losing DEI grift for the untalented that extorts money from the NBA (i.e. actual players) and lets the lesbians' freak flag fly. The double talk is because they can't say that out loud.

Based on this then any person born being the wrong gender that they think they are because of a biological error then it is our duty to correct this mistake that was made prior to birth.
Thus, also if a transgender male stimulates his Mangina by jerking off than this considered the equal to stimulating the vagina tract with a false a dildo or finger......

The sad reality is that the NBA and its owners (and players) are so fucking stinking rich they can subsidize a dozen dogshit WNBA leagues of nasty black lesbians.
The money they piss away on the WNBA is pocket lint to them. Rounding error. It's well worth the virtue signaling and -- more importantly -- to buy papal indulgences for the violent thugs in the men's NBA.

“The WNBA should be courageous. Stand for women. You can’t stand for something you can’t even define,” she said. “Acknowledge that the inherent differences between men and women were the whole reason we needed the WNBA in the first place.
“Boundaries, clarity and exclusion are not hateful in sport... they’re the prerequisite to playing and loving the game. Without the lines, without the rules, without the honesty about who’s in and who’s out, there is no fair competition.”

I'll bet the case of Yuengling Dark in my fridge that they change their new franchise by-laws in the next few months to reflect vague, non-committal and highly aloof language giving them the opportunity to turn down new franchises for "unexplained" reasons. That nulifies the Clay Travis team troll...and gives them plausible deniability.
Travis, and attorney (and a rather good one from what I'm told) will counter by establishing costs associated with setting up a new franchise and stick the WNBA with the bill.

“I said it in 2019, and you know if you listen to the full conversation, you very quickly understand what I’m talking about,” Piker said. “I should have phrased things better.”
Piker made the vile comments in 2019 during a broadcast on Twitch.
The full quote was, “This is so insane. America deserved 9/11 dude, fuck it. I’m saying it… We totally brought it on ourselves.”
...
“I apologize for those who I have offended, but most importantly, apologize for giving an opportunity to the right to just like use this against me,” he continued.
...
Elsewhere in the podcast appearance, Piker defended his use of pejoratives for Israeli settlers calling Republicans ‘inbred hicks’.
“I’ve called Republicans inbred hicks my whole life. I call, you know, Nazis inbred. I call them pigs. You know all these different things. I’ve gotten banned for this,” said Piker.

The Left's Dreamboat Assassin Luigi Mangione Close to Pleading Guilty In Execution of United Healthcare CEO and Father Brian Thompson
These are federal charges, so they plea deal is being negotiated by "Trump's" DOJ. But we all know about the Southern District of NY, where Comey's foul daughter worked.
If this is a sweetheart deal -- if it's anything less than life in prison without parole -- then every single corporation should immediately evacuate New York City, as this communist shithole has been determined to be a place where a jury won't convict a leftwing killer. And if Trump doesn't like the deal, he should overrule "his" lawyers and yank it off the table.I fear that's exactly the plan.
"Could"?
Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty Friday to federal charges in connection with the 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan, according to sources familiar with the matter. The expected plea change comes less than a month before Mangione, 28, is scheduled to go to trial in a state murder case in connection with the fatal shooting of Thompson, 50, a father of two. Luigi Mangione was meeting with his lawyers this morning at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn in advance of tomorrow's federal court hearing in Manhattan, according to a source familiar with the matter. Lawyers for Mangione declined to comment. The Justice Department and a court spokesperson also declined to comment. It is unclear if Mangione will plead guilty to one or both of the two stalking-related charges in his federal case. While details of Mangione's plea are not immediately clear, he could reverse his decision at any time, even during the hearing. Sources familiar with the matter stressed that plea negotiations are ongoing and that nothing is final until Mangione himself accepts or enters into a plea deal. If he is convicted, he could face a life sentence.

United Healthcare, whatever their faults, were not responsible for the medical state of Mangione's back injury nor his de facto impotence. He had access to the best treatment, with or without UHC, and his problem was incurable. His life sucked and he felt like shooting somebody.
Posted by: Semi-Literate Thug at August 13, 2026 02:47 PM (VWtfl)
I think there are enough stupid people they could get on that jury to convict unfortunately. Look what happened with OJ on the reverse side.
The OJ jury wasn’t stupid. They knew full well what they were doing, as retribution for Rodney King
The charges they’re planning to plea guilty to are the 2 federal stalking charges so that they can potentially use these charges to argue that New York’s Double Jeopardy law would make it so the state murder charges couldn’t be charged since the stalking charges are directly linked to the murder case. Maybe plea to those stalking charges and they drop the state charges to only a few and ask for concurrent sentences to do like 25 years. Better than life I suppose.
Jury Nullification was actually promising in this instance. I understand the option and choice to plea for a lesses sentence; however, this was a chance for the general public to show up for him and send a message of utter disdain towards insurance companies as a whole with a not guilty verdict.
Or, he realized that the real world is not Reddit and he doesn't have the blind support he has here.

And ye both of these violent leftist maniacs are popular (so we are told) because lonely AWFLs find them "handsome" or "hot" -- if you get your panties wet over some guy, then apparently you adopt their demonic political philosophy as well.
But seriously -- both of these guys are "mid" at best. Maybe compared to the typical low-T soyboy creep-nerds these woman are used to dating, Mangione and Piker are hot stuff?
Or it is the reverse: The media glamorize them as hot for the very reason of trying to get women to adopt their toxic politics -- even though no one really thinks they're hot?
Someone clue me in on this.

I thought the issue was "he could face a death sentence", and avoiding death was the purpose of Luigi taking a plea deal. Or do prosecutors think a jury will likely have at least one that secretly believes Mangioni is a hero?

If I was on a Murder One jury, and the jurors were dead-locked between the death penalty and the prison, and the judge offered life without parole (LWOP) as a compromise when I thought the accused deserved the death penalty, I would have taken LWOP to ensure a conviction.
But now I can't. Democrat-run jurisdictions have now released murderers in prison for LWOP on many occasions.

Ukrainian Drones Outmatch US Army in Exercise.
Ukrainian troops from the battle-tested 412th Regiment of Unmanned Systems Forces, known as Nemesis, effectively eliminated a U.S. armored brigade during the Combined Resolve exercise in April and May. Roughly 3,500 American personnel, primarily from the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, participated.
Ukrainian reconnaissance drones quickly located American armored vehicles, whose movement kicked up dust and made them visible from above.
Explosive-dropping and first-person-view, or FPV, drones then moved in.
The Ukrainians were registering simulated kills so rapidly that American vehicles had to be returned to the battlefield, or “re-spawned,” to keep the exercise running, according to the Journal.
The Americans adapted during the two-week engagement, improving their use of dispersion, concealment, and electronic warfare.
Ukrainian operators eventually switched sides and helped U.S. forces employ drones offensively, where the Americans performed more effectively.

“Nice SROs did not want to arrest children. Nice police officers thought of themselves as well-meaning. Yet, they expressed being required to arrest children because of real or imagined mandates. They used niceness as a strategy for upholding a system of Whiteness that systematically privileges White people and excludes those who fall outside of Whiteness. Niceness hinders possibilities for the types of political, communal relationships central to authentic care.”
“SROs used niceness as Whiteness in their recounts of arrest … by highlighting the positive relationships they had with students they arrested…As with highlighting their own goodness, highlighting these positive relationships reframes violence (i.e., arrest) that contributes to racial inequality as a positive, since students still like the SROs. This strategy emphasizes the officer’s ability to retain his niceness—by virtue of the maintained interpersonal relationship—despite having arrested the student.”

The only video they have of CEO's murder doesn't show the killer's face. They have no eyewitnesses that can identify Luigi as the murderer.
There were issues with chain of custody and warrantless searches. The judge said some of it can come in as evidence, but some not.
The case is circumstantial. I think it's powerful evidence in total that he did it, but juries often don't trust circumstantial evidence. They want to see the guy commit the crime, or hear from someone who did.
All you need is one weak or soft juror -- or a corrupt one -- and the jury is hung. There's a chance of that happening in this case. That's why there's talk of a plea deal.

if there is anything the uke war has shown it is if you can see an enemy you can kill it. So tanks and APCs are not as useful as they once were.

I assume the original expectation was the conflict wouldn't drag out as long as it has, so they may very well be low on some supplies. Plus, it's a long time at sea crammed into tight quarters in probably challenging operational posture. As reports have noted, "This current mission has established a new modern record for consecutive days at sea without a port call"

I will say I think we made a mistake in the way we labeled things back in 2001. This issue wasn't terrorism per se, the issue was radical islam declared war on the west and chose terrorism - targeting civilian targets to induce fear - as their means of war.
All wars, well ones you want to win, target reducing your enemy's will to fight. So while we spent 20 years giving jihadis the martyrdom they wanted and then paying their families for it, they killed random people and reduced our ability to live normal lives.
If we had responded to 9/11 with Tokyo style firebombings of every Taliban held city and Sunni Arab city in Iraq I suspect
the last 20 years of war would have looked very different.

I have a leggings or capris rule at my studio. I do not want your booty cheeks on my floors or mats. Thank you kindly.
Just out and about I see a fair number of women in leggings that let me know they are in fact 100% XX genetic women with the original equipment

If the state can't prove its case, it shouldn't be charging the defendant in the first place.
Note that I do believe that the overwhelming majority of people in prison are there justifiably.
But...I also believe that of the small fraction of innocent people in prison, the overwhelming majority are there because of a plea bargain.

We could just split the country up. We can have our awesome murder-free areas and they can have their awesome kill-orgies all day.
We can clean up our murder-holes at bayonet point. They can, I dunno, jail anybody who doesn't have enough holes punched on their Murder Cards, or something.
Everyone gets what they want.

Karoline Leavitt Will Leave Her Job as WH Spokeswoman at the End of the Month
Karoline Leavitt
@karolineleavitt
Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours in the Oval Office, flying around the world and meeting foreign leaders, and traveling across our beautiful country and meeting Americans from all walks of life. Most of all, I am thankful to the President for entrusting me with the distinct privilege of speaking on his behalf at the White House podium. I have spoken with great pride about the many historic accomplishments of this Administration, and I have relished holding the liberal media accountable and ensuring the American people hear the truth about President Trump's successes. Being a mother and welcoming a new baby while working in one of the most demanding jobs in the world has been the most rewarding yet challenging season of my life, to say the least. The truth is since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary -- and that is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life. President Trump has asked me to continue serving as a top advisor to him on the outside, and I will always remain a vocal advocate for MAGA and the Republican Party. Our country is facing an existential threat from an increasingly extremist Democrat Party that seeks to destroy everything great about America, and I believe it is incumbent upon all of us who care about this country to fight back against that threat. My fight is entering a new phase, but it is far from over. Thank you again to the President, the First Lady, and the entire Trump family for your kindness and generosity over the years. Thank you to our amazing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles for empowering me since the day she hired me on the campaign, and to the President's cabinet, my staff, colleagues, and friends at the White House who work so hard on behalf of our nation. It has been a privilege to serve alongside so many accomplished and impressive people, and I look forward to cheering them on over the next two and a half years. And of course, thank you most especially to my loving and supportive husband and family for the sacrifices they made for me to serve in this role.

Family. That’s what it always is with these ghouls. They want you to think they have morals but it’s just a facade.
The tales she'll be able to tell her Grandkids! "Let me tell you how I helped make sure your entire life will progressively get worse as you house floods, burns down, and you die of chemical exposure."
History will remember her as a vile, lying enabler of one of the worst humans to ever unfortunately stumble into power.
If you don't think this administration (including Leavitt) will be examined and studied for its corruption and lawlessness, I don't know what to tell you. Her lies and obfuscation are big parts of how they've been able to largely avoid consequences and accountability from the general population.
She's not a run-of-the-mill press secretary.

There are so many "rules" about this ritual that don't make sense to me. Why can't the Press Secretary refuse to take questions from organizations that continually lie? Admittedly, she'd be taking questions from just a handful of organizations, but they could rotate in high school or college journalists, maybe some of those freebie Coast Weekly publications -- as they're called in California. Probably have some name like Plains Weekly elsewhere.

FWIW, Ace, Pixy's story below today indicates that Cloudfare is getting ready to block a lot of the webcrawler activity that Google depends upon for access. And that the publishers have figured to do the same. That cripples the search engine acquisition of new data. My guess is the AI companies writ broadly want that new data for themselves, not the dying search indexing model web browsers.
I think AI augmented web browsers are going the be the first AI killer application that average folks have of AI along with virtual pron. Whether google retains the crown and revenues or slumps into IBM decline depends on their AI model ironically and Google in turn is depending on Android to bring that crown home, not desktops.

For my part, I don't believe her. She's a DC lizard. She's either fired, or left because there's nowhere further to go on this path. Look for her in some other seedy little venue soon.

So does the Kill Tony guy.
And to be honest, it is long past the time to recognize that press conferences are dead--there is no news in them--only competing narratives between partisan players. And even worse when a Democrat is in the WH--then it is the media servicing the Dem propaganda machine by augmenting WH narratives.
Just put out press releases and live video if you are not Trump that enjoys dumping on the enemedia. No need to feed the hamsters pretending they are actually objective seekers of the news instead of partisan hacks.
The form exists but the underlying spirit of the idea is long dead and the media killed it along with any pretense of objectivity.

Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon’s true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.
Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this caramel hell-planet. The delectable Caramel Chew may be one such portal.

I know I could have some fun with it. Anytime someone in the front row asks a stupid question, I'd make them go to the back of the room until they can think of a non-stupid question. Then they have to wait their turn to move back to the front. Whoever was behind them moves up a seat.

==================
I have a different concept: make them police themselves.
You do this with a new rule: the first overtly stupid question is the end of the press conference. This puts pressure on reporters to prevent stupid questions.
The reporters might do this by working out a seating arrangement, whether by vote or committee or whatever (it's up to them) that sets apart the Question Pool. Press Secretary picks from them. If you ask the stupid question that ends the conference, you get expelled for a week and someone else rotates in.
Something like that, needs finesse, but basically they police themselves and a stupid question from one gets a punishment for all.

I also thought of a game-show style approach.
Contestants are called down to the front row at random. We show them a media clip and they have to bid on how many lies are found in the media clip. The closest bidder (without going over) gets to ask a question and survives to the next round. Losers get kicked out of the Press Room until the next day.
We could call it "The Press is Wrong!"

Grossly Ugly SPLC AWFL Who Funneled Money to Her KKK Boyfriend So He Would Give Her a Pity Nazi-Bang Arrested for Money Laundering
Former SPLC official arrested as feds expand case over alleged $4M scheme involving extremist groupsShe's the White Fani Willis. I wonder who her Darius "Sweetdick" Honeycum, Esq., is.
Federal indictment alleges donor funds were secretly funneled to groups like the Ku Klux Klan
A former top Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) official was arrested on charges Wednesday as federal prosecutors unveiled sweeping new allegations that donated money was allegedly secretly funneled to extremists and used for activities including recruiting members, staging rallies and buying materials for Ku Klux Klan robes and cross burnings. Heidi Beirich, 59, of Palm Springs, California, was charged alongside the SPLC with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to submit false statements to a federally insured bank. The second superseding indictment also charges Beirich with a conspiracy to commit concealed money laundering. Beirich was served with an arrest warrant Wednesday morning, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Alabama. Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed the arrest during a news conference Wednesday in Washington, D.C., and said the federal investigation remains ongoing. "I think, as alleged in the indictment, this individual participated in the scheme as alleged," Blanche said. "I believe she was part of the effort to open bank accounts and complete fictitious companies names and make payments that to individuals for reasons that were not, that were not accurate as described."' FBI Director Kash Patel also weighed in on the news via X, writing that Beirich was at the "center" of the bureau's ongoing investigation. "As alleged, Heidi Beirich was at the center of our ongoing investigation into SPLC and their previously alleged criminal activity - where SPLC knowingly misled donors, who believed their money was being used to dismantle violent extremist organizations - when in fact, part of those donations were instead being used to pay senior leadership within those extremist groups," Patel wrote. The 26-page indictment obtained by Fox News Digital alleges the SPLC secretly funneled at least $4.1 million in tax-exempt donor funds between 2007 and 2023 through bank accounts supposedly belonging to businesses unaffiliated with the organization. Prosecutors allege the money paid "field sources" who were leading or affiliated with violent extremist organizations. Prosecutors allege donor money was used to attend and host extremist rallies, recruit members, grow and create extremist chapters, publish extremist literature and buy materials for KKK robes, hoods and cross burnings. The indictment also alleges two KKK members who wanted out of the movement were encouraged by the SPLC to remain and offered monthly payments and expenses. One of the most explosive allegations centers on a source identified as "F-9," whom prosecutors say infiltrated the neo-Nazi National Alliance and received more than $1.2 million from the SPLC during the period covered by the indictment. Prosecutors allege Beirich oversaw payments to F-9 while also having a romantic relationship with him, with the pair sharing a home and two bank accounts.
Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donor money flowed from the SPLC's operating account through a "Tech Writers" account and ultimately into joint bank accounts held by Beirich and F-9, prosecutors allege. The indictment says the money accounted for approximately 66% of all funds deposited into their joint accounts and alleges Beirich used donor money to pay the couple's personal living expenses.
FBI Director Kash Patel
@FBIDirectorKash Following an FBI investigation with our DOJ partners: today we are announcing a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center's Director of Intelligence, Heidi Beirich. As alleged, Heidi Beirich was at the center of our ongoing investigation into SPLC and their previously alleged criminal activity - where SPLC knowingly misled donors, who believed their money was being used to dismantle violent extremist organizations - when in fact, part of those donations were instead being used to pay senior leadership within those extremist groups. According to the indictment and our investigation, Beirich played a primary role in this scheme. From at least 2007-2023, Beirich allegedly helped orchestrate this fraudulent activity worth approximately $4.2 million, conspiring with SPLC to defraud donors, obtaining money through these materially false and fraudulent pretenses and omissions to pay leadership of the very violent organizations SPLC claimed to oppose. Beirich was arrested today - charged with crimes including wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to submit false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering. This is an ongoing investigation. This FBI will find anyone who exploits the trust of the American people and our financial system.

Correction: Trump’s weaponized justice department arrests expert...
More accurate would be "Fascist American regime abducts expert on fascism and far right."
MAGA is seeking revenge on anyone who fought the KKK and other right-wing terrorist groups. They see the SPLC as part of a broader Jewish conspiracy to 'replace whites' and turn America Communist. That's why the right always calls the SPLC Communist.
Arrested for paying spies to infiltrate white supremacist groups. Instead of arresting her, why not hire her to do that? Am I alone in *wanting* people to be infiltrating these groups?
What I'm reading is she's a hero...unless you have a stake in shutting down organizations that do this kind of work in order to promote white supremacy

And that’s exactly what the manufacturers calculate and why everything is such shit quality now.
And this is part of the inflation number that doesn’t show up. Sure dishwashers are cheap compared to 20 years ago as are most appliances. But 20 years ago you bought one and it lasted 20 years. Now you have to buy them every 3 fucking years. Which makes them 600% more expensive relatively speaking.

I guess this intrepid commenter didn't get down to the part where the KKK used the dough to EXPAND and CREATE NEW chapters.
That's not exactly my idea of infiltration and subversion.
It would be hilarious if the DOJ subpoenas KKK leadership and asks them if there was any understanding between them and SPLC as to where the dough would go. Because, you know, "Here, Mr. Wizard, take this big fat check" isn't the same as spending your money to set up double agents and send them on secret missions.

The right, by and large, does not have a large population of ne'er do wells that can be activated as a mob by cash. The left creates them by the score.
The Jacksonian right, by and large has a binary switch between kill them all and avoidance of conflict.
Violence then is not calibrated like it is for leftists and indeed most of the world. Most of the world uses political violence to force others to do what they want without widescale destruction. The dominant strain on the right in the US is Jacksonian. Law abiding until it is not.

To the left, they care not about the organizations but the cause. So Acorn's peeps drifted to new organizations doing the same crap, BLM, ditto. What drives it is large pools of cash, often derived from local, state, and federal coffers plus foreign money and domestic traitors like Soros, Hoffman, etc.

Per Tucker Carlson, @benshapiro was "created" by Israel.
"They" got him "into Harvard Law School" & made
@realDailyWire successful by getting the company a "deal with Facebook that no one got."
Tucker added that Shapiro's views are actually "the opinions of the people who prop up Ben Shapiro, who created Ben Shapiro. This is what they think."
While Tucker mostly avoided naming "they" — initially calling Shapiro an "employee... of larger interests" — he eventually let the mask slip.
At 2:35 of this clip, Tucker refers to "Ben Shapiro's employer's foreign policy."

For example, Detroit has LOTS of empty buildings. If its leaders were smart, they'd be reaching out to NY businesses and its Jewish community to take advantage of cheap rent, less insane policies and an existing Jewish community.
I'm going to bet that Detroit doesn't have leaders smart enough for that. Like most other big cities in the US.

Germans have a term for it, schadenfreude. Ahem, "the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of the troubles, failures, pain, suffering, or humiliation of another."
Miserable people want others to be as miserable as they are because they suck. Not exclusively leftist but all ideological leftists (other than the psychopathic leftist leaders) are miserable because they have substituted government for Christ.

Detroit doesn't. Surrounding communities, yes.
Interestingly, Detroit imported a LOT of Iraqi Arabs in the 70s. Mostly Christians who live in the northern suburbs. The Muslim Arabs came more recently and took over Dearborn which is one of the southern suburbs.
The northern, Christian, Arabs are on good terms with the local Jewish community, which is also in the northern suburbs.
There's a lot of people in the area who've already escaped musselmen occupation and won't be too pleased to live under it again.

In free markets, you *have* property. Property implies control.
Thus decision-making is distributed. The more you allow a private individual to control--as long as it doesn't adversely affect other self-determination, the more distributed decision-making is outside the government.
This is why free economies should not die.
Marx supposedly wanted to restore to man his "dignity", but as long as there is a state, they decide what is enough "dignity" for you.
Cliff notes: This is NOT dignity.

Marx being the degenerate he was failed to reckon Locke's property included the person's life. As did Rousseau, thus they are free to murder enemies of state (taking the most valuable property of all--a life).
Protection of property is designed to protect someone's life as even depriving someone of the wherewithal to sustain their own life is no less than killing them.

My concern is movement through the states like locusts. I *itch all the time about the NY mass movement to PA during C19. Well, it continues & grows. (There is NO street or parking lot without an abundance of NY license plates.) And now, after Wolf, Gov. Shapiro.
Old, I remember some of the Vietnam War. The idea that communism grows and must be stopped in Southeast Asia was known as the domino theory, the belief a primary reason the United States entered the Vietnam War. But while neighboring nations, Laos and Cambodia, also fell to communist governments, the wider global domino effect did not happen as predicted.
However, Vietnam did not abandon socialism because capitalism became mobile; rather, in 1986, the ruling Communist Party deliberately introduced market reforms known Renewal to rescue a collapsing command economy.
Rather than failing, the state retained a monopoly on political power and control over key economic sectors, creating a "socialist-oriented market economy" that, reportedly, dramatically reduced poverty.
If true, it's that brand of socialism I fear might consume the US, especially to support greed & the influx of undocumented since +/-2006.

States just default on bonds but it hasn't happened since Arkansas in 1933. But still, I think bondholders will just expect some sort of bailout.
If it's made clear that the US government will NEVER bail them out, then maybe funding would dry up.

All just restatements of the Levelers, the radical city Anabaptists in Germany in the Reformation, and demented musing of Rousseau and Marx.
Democracy is to them another name for Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Soviet Union had elections too for the Supreme Soviet, which in turn ratified everything that the Politburo wanted. Courts as well with a generous bill of rights, which were in turn whatever 'justice' corresponded with what the Politburo wanted in a particular case.
So in their case, "Democracy" is a euphemism of an oligarchic state run by insiders like her with the sole purpose of the electorate ratifying the decisions of the oligarchy. And in fact misapplied to the US and its Founding. It is a republic (as was the Soviet Union in theory) and voters cannot ratify decisions of insiders to violate the very Constitution that their power is based upon.

I was there until 2008. The hilltop area was getting pretty scary. I remember going to one nearly abandoned mall there at the time. I was worried about my car the entire time.
I was close to Hilliard. The Meijer's and Big Bear stores were really nice. It was a nice area back then.

I don't think Illinois made theirs tradeable to others. Eventually Illinois borrowed enough and increased taxes enough to drop the practice for now.
Cut enough federal fraud though, I suspect a number of blue states are going to go into a fiscal death spiral. They have been using fraud in Medicaid and other fed programs to pay the "Pauls" in their states by robbing 'Peter'--the federal government. They can do this in Medicaid from putting up illusory 'matches' by taxing medical procedures then billing the fedgov for their share of the match. Other fiscal tricks on grants, etc.

Renting a U-Haul in CA to bug out is expensive, but it's because of demand, mostly. But the state could implement legal hurdles too, if it wanted. Or tack on a disconnect fee for utilities that's unreasonable. Stop refunding deposits or money spent on something that you no longer need in the state you're moving to.
There's no end to lengths they'll go to make it hard for you to bug out.
A year after transferring a vehicle from CA to WV I was still getting nasty letters telling me my registration was expired and they were going to repossess the truck. It was paid for. And in another state. Registered and titled there.

During the initial rollout of Renewal in the late 1980s and 1990s, the immediate casualties of dismantling the old socialist safety net were the working class and rural poor.
(The wealth had quickly concentrated in industrial hubs like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.)
Under strict socialism, the state provided basic healthcare, education, and food rations.
To transition to a market economy, the government instituted user fees for hospitals & schools. Poor families suddenly could not afford medical treatments, whereas the emerging elite could buy high-quality private care.
The rising middle class bears the heaviest structural tax burden; the ultra-wealthy found loopholes to retain their capital, and the poor initially bore the brunt of slashed state services before broader growth lifted them up.
Who still paid/pays the financial burden? Middle class. Who paid the initial systemic price? Poor.

Democrats have no interest in a 'democracy' but instead use 'votes' as ratifying what Democrats have done and will do. The actual existence of a voter is irrelevant just like it was in Venezuela. What matters is the veneer of approval just like the Supreme Soviet voting to approve whatever the Politburo did.
And that is how you get a communistic dictatorship of the proletariat disguised which is simply a rehash of a warped aristocracy that treated peasants as property of the lords over them. To do with as they wished. Kings were actually brought about being given 'divine right to rule' in order to crush the rapacious nobility that had every interest in keeping their form of forced labor. And Kings in turn became decadent and evil because absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Bond holders get nothing. They were happy enough to give out loans to deadbeats and in return get sweet higher than average interest payments until they stopped. Same reason why I had no sympathy for those that kept buying Argentinian bonds for decades at nosebleed interest rates which inevitably resulted in default. Instead, the bondholders should be able to pursue the wealth of all the politicians and their corrupt cronies that issued the debt in lawsuits. That way the real culprits are punished.
You want to break the cycle, then the incentive for bondholders is not to lend to deadbeats--if they do, they will have to take the high interest they demand as sufficient return. The incentive for the deadbeat is they don't get any money except at nosebleed interest which takes away their cash to operate to buy votes and steal wealth for themselves. The incentive for the politicians is to avoid themselves losing their generational wealth from a state going insolvent.

I asked Gemini to give me a list of the most remote Swiss villages by distance to the nearest Swiss city, while still having high-speed internet, supermarkets, schools, and restaurants. It spit out the three most remote, which are all out in the Alps near Chur.
The distances from each village to Chur are:
Andeer: 37 kilometers (approx. 30 minutes driving or 43 minutes via direct bus)
Splügen: 51 kilometers (approx. 39 minutes driving or 58 minutes via hourly bus)
Scuol: 118 kilometers (approx. 1 hour and 45 minutes driving or 2 hours via regional train)
Yeah I was right, that redditor from the last thread lives in a suburb of some Swiss city and he acts like he's out in the hollers of West Virginia. These people are wildly delusional, lol.

Blame Scotus--see McCulloch v. Maryland 1816. Marshall's opinion rested in part on the power to tax is the power to destroy. If you did in fact have federalism, then the states could not tax the federal government or its 'corporations' lest that meant that the states could destroy the federal government that way. But the converse was true too, the federal government could not tax the states and their policy instruments lest they be able to destroy the other sovereign governments of the states.

So the states going more and more socialist will see their richer people move
The one exception to this are those who are politically connected where paying 10% in taxes might not matter because most of their income comes from laundered tax payer money anyway - so sure they lose 10% off the top but they make way more since government will give them more.
Amusingly in this regard they are more like the dependent class then the wealthy members of the productive class

--> Sure ya can! Dem-ruled shitholes will pass LAWS demanding that if you want to move your business out of their shithole you must pay an "exit tax" equal to three times your business's last state tax bill.
Most businesses will ditch plans to flee, hoping the situation will improve. A tiny few will leave without paying--and the host state will sue. And leftist judges (which rule every lower court) will rule in favor of the Dem shithole states.
So in a matter of months, the notion that you can move businesses and capital to more welcoming states--though *technically true,* will be effectively nullified by leftist judges under the "full faith and credit" clause.

So the states going more and more socialist will see their richer people move."
Cuba has taken this to the extreme. Although they try to stop it, the young, healthy, and ambitious have been slipping out of the country for decades now, not all to the US, many to South and Central America.
consequence - besides the communist government, the core problem that all other problems flow from is that Cuba for the most part is now occupied by the sick, the elderly, and the mentally defective. I suspect that's one reason why the US is in no hurry to push things there; when the current regime falls, there's no human capital there worth working with.

Yep. Same thing at Torrey Pines down south. My first round there, I was playing the south course with a local guy who'd played it many times. I'm on the fourth green, which runs along the ocean, lining up my putt. Dude says, which way do you think it'll break? I said about two cups right (away from the ocean). He says, nope, aim two cups right, it'll break left toward the ocean.
He was correct.

There's an old Punch cartoon from the early 1900s that shows a mother gesturing to the governess and telling her daughter to kiss her goodnight.
"I won't," says the daughter. "She slaps people's faces when they try to kiss her."
"Oh, such nonsense!"
"It's true, Mama. Just ask Papa."

"I wanted a ukulele, you see. A ukulele I could play along with my sister, Clarice.
But, my parents...my parents never loved me enough to buy me that ukulele. My dreams were shattered.
They bought me a kazoo instead.
Oh, what bitter music it played....*weeps*

"Well, Marie, as Leonard Cohen often says:
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
I often think of this as I watch the hummingbirds flit about our honeysuckle arbor."

I like it. Captures the current and recent past summers in SE PA. Hot and humid, absolutely miserable unless one can escape... perhaps to the shore or Pocono mountains. (Pass on the latter if relatively normal).
The artist has a lovely and extensive body of work.
Wikipedia, in part: Santiago Rusiñol, (Spanish: Barcelona 25 February 1861 – Aranjuez 13 June 1931) was a Spanish painter, poet, journalist, collector and playwright. He was one of the leaders of the Catalan modernisme movement. [2] He created more than a thousand paintings and wrote numerous works in Spanish and Catalan.

“ US is very poorly managed in rural areas.
Here in Switzerland the small villages in the middle of nowhere have everything and are an amazing place to live. I have 10gbit fiber internet, train, bus, poste office, school, restaurants and a super market in a village of 1000 habitants in the middle of a valley away from the cities.”
This guy thinks having internet, a school, a supermarket and some restaurants in a small town doesn’t exist in the US. Lol
Remember those videos of Europeans being shocked by American during the World Cup? We need a lot more of them.

Because almost all major U.S. airports are publicly owned by city or regional governments, the airport management governs the leases, footprint, and policies of the chapel. They treat chapels as leased or designated operational spaces, not self-governing sanctuaries.
Because airports are nonpublic forums, airport authorities regularly step in to regulate or alter chapel use based on safety, crowd control, and structural neutrality.
Legally, the doors cannot be locked or restricted to exclude the public, thus U.S. Rep. Chip Roy's inquiry.
While a chapel may be located deep past a TSA checkpoint, the space itself remains entirely under the jurisdiction of the municipal airport authority, which balances travelers' religious freedom with terminal safety and operational flow.
TSA's only involvement is ensuring that anyone entering a chapel located on the airside (post-security) has been successfully screened.

The Morning Report — 8/ 13 /26
Republicans, however, suspected that the winning tactic was that Democrats in states in which they controlled elections legalized election fraud with mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and the abandonment of voter ID. In addition, Trump supporters looked at data from the six states in which, for the first time in election history, vote counting stopped for hours, only to resume with Trump’s lead destroyed and Biden suddenly winning. The data look suspicious. Wisconsin was one of those swing states. Looking at how Francesca Hong lost yesterday, there’s an eerie similarity between her loss and Trump’s in 2020.Whether she legitimately lost or the powers that be rigged it in favor of her opponent. Let's take a gander at the "winner" Crowley.
David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive who pulled off a stunning upset over the summer’s socialist surge, has blamed systemic racism for police shootings, opposed legislation to protect law enforcement, and declared Wisconsin the worst place in America to raise a black child. In August 2020, Crowley went all-in on the Black Lives Matter narrative surrounding the domestic disturbance call that ended with the officer-involved shooting of Jacob Blake. The then-29-year-old, who had a felony warrant out for his arrest, was armed with a knife and was attempting to get into the driver’s seat of an SUV when he was shot seven times, triggering widespread unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and setting the stage for the later acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse. . . Before the so-called “summer of love” in 2020, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee also opposed “Blue Lives Matter“ legislation that would’ve added law enforcement officers to the state’s hate crime protected categories, saying the proposal “only furthers the divide between the urban communities and police that serve them.”Okay, either the electorate legitimately or the Democrat Party leaders swapped out the candidate who advocated abolishing Thanksgiving and the 4th of July for someone who insists the nation is a racist white-supremacist police state intent on the genocide of colored people of color. However you slice it, all the Democrats succeeded in doing was changing their name from Hyman to Seymour. In the last analysis is Crowley really any less toxic/palatable to the general public (if that is the Democrats' actual concern) than Hong? Their quest for the seeming holy grail of being perceived as moderate continues...
The ‘moderate Democrat’ is a campaign myth meant to deceive voters into electing leftists.. . Crowley may be less radical than Hong, but being less radical than a racist, anti-American Marxist doesn’t make you a moderate. On unions, wages, abortion, and immigration, Crowley’s positions are decidedly left-wing. The only real big distinction is he hasn’t said he hates Thanksgiving or called for abolishing the Senate. But what the press and even regular people are doing is allowing Democrats to redefine “moderate” to mean basically anyone standing even half a step to the right of their most extreme member. Once the standard is set, the entire “moderate” claim becomes merely a campaign myth meant to deceive voters into electing an actual leftist who cosplays as a moderate but will still deliver Democrats’ overall left-wing policy goals.Moderates would be the Nazis who favored Gas chambers and crematoria over the mass shootings into mass graves by the Einsatzgruppen. Speaking of a prolonged and festering stench from Wisconsin...
On Wednesday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) responded to fears that Democrats are moving too far to the left by saying that “Republicans have loved to use democratic socialist over and over, and now they’re calling us Communists.” And “they don’t understand the definitions of what they’re calling us.”We understand very well, you degenerate lying scumbag. Your own mentors/precursors in Marx and Engels defined Socialism as merely the precursor to full on Communism. Democrat/socialism is the precancerous stage to full on Stage Four Terminal Cancer. So the question is, are we as a nation and society in that precancerous stage or what the hell is going on? Beyond Hong and Crowley, Leftists/Democrats at every level have been shrieking their lungs out about packing the Supreme Court, abolishing the Second and every other amendment and the Constitution itself for years now. Hell, the dead and moldering Ruth Bader Meinhoff Ginsberg proclaimed the South African Constitution as superior to our own, despite the fact of supposedly swearing a sacred oath to uphold the latter in her tenure on the Supreme Court. The Democrat Party has had a lust for absolute power for over 200 years, to the point of seeking the destruction of this nation as founded in order to acquire and hold onto that power forever.
. . . “I think the Republicans have loved to use democratic socialist over and over, and now they’re calling us Communists. Like, they’ve lost any credibility. They clearly haven’t taken a high school or even a junior high civics class recently, because they don’t understand the definitions of what they’re calling us. But what people do know is they’re paying more out of pocket for goods, because of actions of Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress.”
Furious Hasan Piker melts down over Francesca Hong’s loss: ‘Outlaw Thanksgiving and outlaw boomers’Hey, maybe Piker's a moderate and wants to outlaw boomers via gas chambers and not mass shooting. Meh, whatever his reach is it's his words that are horrifyingly reflective of a not insignificant number of our fellow citizens in name only. So, to sum it all up, I ask what does all this mean? is the Democrat Party really scared that most of America still is sane and repulsed by the views of more and more of their base? Hong, Crowley, Piker et al are bad enough but the Schemers, Bidens, Pelosis, Clintons and all the rest via the things they have supported over the years have no problem with the former, at least until they train their rhetorical and ultimately literal guns on them for not delivering the keys to the kingdom and the head of America as founded to them on a silver platter.

I believe this crazy lady won her primary, but it was snatched from her by the Democrats for various reasons.
What I really can't determine is what frightens me more...that she could actually be elected or that the fraud it just so institutionalized and common now that we'll never, ever be rid of it. Meaning, of course, that The People have zero election integrity and tptb are going to "elect" whomever they want. It's only getting worse with each election cycle.

Not really a surprise. The left has a very strong lock on the law enforcement mechanisms of densely-populated urban areas.

Presumably this is in Colorado? If so...
Colorado’s Romeo and Juliet law, codified under C.R.S. § 18-3-401.3, provides a close-in-age exemption to statutory rape charges for consensual sexual activity between minors and older partners who fall within specific age gaps. While the general age of consent in Colorado is 17, this law allows for legal leniency to prevent the criminalization of relationships between teenagers close in age.
Unless the girl accuses him of rape, I don't see where this has even a remote legal justification.

Police departments are a relatively new phenomenon historically. The Sheriff can basically “draft” the citizenry when required, to chase an escaped felon for example. That’s what a posse is about. It’s actually a crime to refuse this. Sort of like jury duty or whatever.
One can sort of predict that a system where enormous amounts of taxpayer money is allocated towards a police department that cannot be effectively used is going to cause people to start asking questions. Although the public school systems, the other half of this compulsory funding operation seems to be chugging along fine, and minting freshly mind laundered agitators at a pretty good clip, so who knows.

After being sold for $10B less than 2 years ago. That pace of turnover in ownership is very unusual…. I don’t get the $12B. The Lakers are probably the most valuable franchise in the NBA but the NFL is way more popular and the Seahawks just sold for $9.3B IIRC….

Adoption is obviously different but agreeing to sell a baby at birth violates the babies rights not to be chattel. Womb rental is one thing , the outright purchase is very different

Are there any examples of this in past elections in WI or really anywhere?
So the specific set of conditions:
In a primary the more extreme candidate is way, way up by 20 or more points and they then lose because 20% of the electorate changed their mind when they got to voting because they worried their preferred candidate wasn't electable
Because the other answer to this - enough votes were produced to give the more moderate guy the win because that's what the Dems want is way simpler.

Technically, the surrogate does not make money. Legally, the only thing that can be paid for is expenses related to the birth of the child. So it has been dealt with, but clearly there are still huge issues.

What I think you're referring to is the candidate was "up by 20 or more points in the polls..."
Polls are irrelevant now, thanks to technology. Random sampling is next to impossible. It changed rather rapidly and we the voting public haven't adjusted to it. We are so conditioned to decades and decades of semi-reliable polls as a predictor that we still pay attention to them.
Polls are worthless now.

Uneducated guess: It was done with consenting adults and was not really publicly talked about prior to cases like this. I'm not even sure it could be defined as slavery since you have a man and a woman making a child that grows inside a third party with the understanding the baby would go to the parents.
But demanding the child be aborted just because of this is outright evil.

Ultimately lower costs = Put more and more people, especially illegals, on welfare and on Medicaid (continue to look the other way on fraud with FedGov dollars, tasking state employees to develop harder-to-discover fraud schemes)

Related - Recently watched a youtube explaining why mattress stores are all over the place. They rent properties thought to be in areas of future commercial expansion and just sit on them till the landlord of the strip mall or whatever wants them out for tenant that will generate greater foot traffic, and then negotiate a buyout that gives them a profit. Or if the contract permits, sublease at a profit. No significant cost in converting the property since a mattress store is basically just a big open space to begin with.

I think it was just another rope-a-dope played on conservatives.
I have a circuitous 'logic' but here goes: Abdul El-Sayed is from MI. His August 2026 primary victory came in the most expensive U.S. Senate primary ever.
Jim Clyburn had "criticized him over a perceived lack of diversity and Black support at his campaign rallies" but El-Sayed would win by heavily dominating university areas and younger demographic groups, sweeping every major college town in the state.
The 'old' Democratic party, which for the most part is all in with the 'new' socialist aspects, absolutely knew he would carry the state.
>Michigan Advance, High turnout shaped Michigan primary, boosting El-Sayed and Lawrence to victory, Aug. 6, 2026
In part, John Sellek of Harbor Strategic told the Advance on Thursday that the only other time Michigan has, in the last 20 years, seen this level of turnout was when U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) was on the ticket.
“So it’s unique, but it is a sign of real difficulty for Republicans currently taking the blame for high prices, tariffs, the war and more,” Sellek said.

Why are 12 state attorneys general, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and New York Attorney General Letitia James, leading the effort? Why all 'liberal' states? (California & New York joined by Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington.)
Had to ask AI. The answer, in part, "The involvement of exclusively Democratic ("liberal") state attorneys general boils down to a mix of ideological approaches to antitrust enforcement and a highly contentious political battle over the ownership of CNN."
Republican critics accuse the 12 liberal AGs of abusing antitrust powers purely to preserve CNN's liberal bent.
Liberal AGs argue that allowing two of Hollywood's remaining five major studios to combine will severely harm labor (like the Writers Guild of America, which has filed its own companion lawsuit) and raise subscription prices for the working-class consumer.
Think I got it: CNN and TDS.

Last night I dreamed that I had gone away to college, an Ivy League or similar place, and was in a "temporary" dorm suite with a number of other guys. Two of them woke us all at 6:30 am, saying, "We need to smoke." Which made me realize that I had not brought a pipe or tobacco with me. Nor, it seemed, had I brought more than one change of clothing; I thought in the dream that I'd have to have my mother ship a *lot* of stuff to me. Plus there were no branches of my bank in this college town.
My suitemates began to head out -- we were all moving to our permanent dorms, it seemed. I was trying to pack when a young girl about five feet tall knocked at the door, and asked me, "Have you heard about Janix?" Before she could explain whether that was a person, a product, or a movement, I woke up.

I touted the virtues of Josephine Tey's last novel, The Singing Sands. It has "cozy" elements: no gore or explicit language or sex; it takes place mostly in small communities in Scotland; and the sleuth, even though he's a Scotland Yard inspector, is on medical leave (an attack of claustrophobia!), so he's sort of an amateur detective in this story.

Trevor Noah, The event MC, is a tech illiterate who probably carries an iPhone.
Cell phone design and implementation maxed about 5 years ago, it seems, and has barely advanced since then. For example, a Pixel 11 key feature is an LED on the back camera bar that lights up when one of your favorites calls you. Yeah! Somehow this is supposed to make it easier for cell phone addicts to not interact with their phone.
AI jammed into every conceivable nook and cranny of these electronic surveillance devices now makes electronic surveillance acceptable.
Plus the prices are higher.

Sheckley was kind of a gadfly of SF magazines in the '50s -- very prolific, using at least one pen name, and producing a raft of stories with his brand of poker-faced humor. Sort of like William Tenn.
One Sheckley story in Galaxy, "A Wind Is Rising," features humans stationed on a planet where the winds blow at over 100 miles per hour nearly all the time. A very tense story that would have made a fine Outer Limits, old or new, had they possessed the budget for it.

It has occurred to me, as a fan of LitRPG, that if a movie is to ever be made of one of my faves, it would fall to me to learn how to use GenAI for video. My experience of creative endeavors tells me that there would be very limited benefit from learning how to do short-form works like music videos; once the tools were mastered (after the first one or three), the workflow would be so different, it would be time do dive straight in to the deep end.

The Kollidge that I attended brought in people (for a fee) to speak and inform/entertain. The contracts said that they had to spend an hour after with the student speakers' committee in a kind of reception. I was never a member, but disregarded the student committee pissants who tried to keep me out.
One was Graham Chapman of the Pythonites. The students were always shy about approaching the Famous People, I wasn't, so Mr Chapman and I were having a conversation in which I knew not to ask about Monty Python, or repeat any usual question.
Then two from the Official Committee came over and said "we love your British humour, more sophisticated than American".
Chapman looked at them and said "we did fart jokes, you know"

Nothing about what you are famous for
Nothing particularly personal
Look around-same or different (to them, not me)?
I asked if the same cheap (but French, must be French) wine was all the universities he did his appearances at (Yes, good laugh)
Do you have time to eat some New Orleans food, do you know where to go? (No actually, do you have any suggestions)
Well, I made you laugh, do I have a career in comedy (perhaps, probably not, it is a funny business).

Right, Dominican was up the street, about a block past Broadway. Loyola took the buildings over in the late '80s or early '90s -- at least Miss Linda was staying there during her first semester of law at Loyola. Not sure if they are still owned by Loyola, though.

For many years the grad student apartments used to stand on the north end of campus, a long walk from anything else. Katrina finished that off. For a time Two-Lane leased apartments in a Garden District-area building, and they had some apartments as late as 2015 down by the med school and the public library.
They built some new grad housing, I think, but I'm not sure where.

Looked like Stalinist communal housing.
As a student, I was....involved in a satirical weekly for which Two-Lane was a target rich environment.
One of my first published pieces was after the old Sugar Bowl Stadium was demolished was a mock Official Study that determined the best use of the old stadium site was for a stadium.
Lot of housing there now, or so I hear. AND A POOL

Was that the satirical paper that referred to the official campus newspaper, the Hullabaloo, as the "Hullabaloser?"
When the future Mrs. Wolfus No. 1 was a student there in the mid-'70s, the pool was in the "basement" (really the ground level) of the UC. Along with a barbershop!

The old stadium was practically across the street from the future Mrs. Wolfus No. 1's dorm. Neither of us had any interest in feetsball. We'd walk (yes, it was possible to walk pretty safely after dark in certain areas then) over to a nearby restaurant for some pizza; there'd be nobody there. As we came back, the game would be over and everybody would be streaming *away* from the stadium.

The pool was only for the swim team, not for regular students. The barber shop charged $3 for a simple and quick ROTC cut, which was OK with me.
The Hullabaloozer was based on the name of a professor named Radomir Lujza who was quite good, but whose son (a Junior of the same name ) attended for free (perk of being on faculty) and had written inbecilia in the Hullaballoo and was thus dubbed Radical Loser.

In my case they each worked, and lived, at opposite ends of town. A workout it was for my little Ford Escort, since I lived in a third area, about halfway between them.
One was ten years younger than me; the other about five years older. An interesting contrast.

Well, I have capital, but no equity. And it would be hard to replace a lot of my furniture, which is real solid wood, including my desk -- which dates to about 1960 and was my dinner, homework, and hobby table growing up. I'm scared to see what a Mission-style armchair would cost nowadays. I'll leave my ancient box spring and a fe other things behind and buy new, though.

Thought experiment, or at least a paper exercise.
Make it a small move.
Get rid of everything except the bare minimum you need to exist as if you were camping. One table, one chair, one lamp, one place setting, an air mattress and a single set of sheets.
Get rid of everything else. Give it away, because selling isn't worth it, unless you can find a company that does an online estate sale for you.
Make your footprint so small it will fit into a small u haul trailer.

Wednesday Night ONT - August 12, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and (mostly) re-stocked with Tab. Only the best for the Horde...
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. [Top photo from NASA: Shock waves are visible around a T-38 trainer aircraft during NASA's Air-to-Air Background Oriented Schlieren flights in 2019. Schlieren imaging makes normally invisible changes in air density visible, giving researchers a way to see the same shock waves that can create sonic booms on the ground.]One of the big lessons of the past twenty five years is that the preening self-regard of the laptop class is largely unjustified. There's a lot of ignored wisdom out there. Third, speaking of the laptop class, the press is much, much worse than I thought it was at the beginning of this exercise, and I was pretty skeptical about the press then.Read the whole thing.
Heh.
Thijs de Buck, an MRI physicist based in Utrecht, the Netherlands, recently posted on Reddit that he built a speed and distance tracker for his hamster's wheel, with the data automatically uploaded to Mollie's own Strava account. Mollie, his 10-month-old hamster, is now committed to logging nightly runs with distance, pace, and time. One recent activity showed 6.06 miles in 4 hours and 37 minutes. The next night, Mollie logged 5.55 miles in 3 hours and 56 minutes.
And the little guy's not exactly phoning it in. De Buck said Mollie is averaging almost 10 kilometers per night, with a current record of 10.8 kilometers after the first week of tracking. "I really believe he'll be able to exceed that soon," he said. Mollie also has a weirdly consistent schedule for a hamster. Over one seven-day stretch, he started within the same 10-minute window on five nights, between 9:54 and 10:04 p.m. He tends to run in short bursts, sometimes reaching about 4 to 5 kilometers per hour on the live monitor, then hops off for water.
Let's pause a bit and talk about the 'rules' for callsigns. It's rumored that Air Force fighter jocks get to pick their own callsigns... which is where you get things like 'Ripper' and 'Ace' and 'Thor.' Not in the Navy. Callsigns are bequeathed for doing something stupid or memorable. The more you fight the more it sticks. Usually a new guy in a squadron is given something like 'FNG' (Fucking New Guy) or 'New Jack' or 'Don't Speak.' Eventually, someone does something noteworthy, and the King (or Queen) of the JOPA [Junior Officer Protection Agency] calls a kangaroo court known as a 'callsign review board.'
Some of it feels a little like a science class. Some of it feels a little like a technology class. Some of it feels like madness and giggles purely for the sake of having fun. Over 45 million people have watched their video on how a TV works. Their video showing popcorn popping has over 24 million views. Spinning a record to pieces? Spinning a CD to destruction? Paint vibrating on a speaker? Airbag deploy? Camera shutter? They've got it all. When things happen so quickly, we miss what really happens. They've been at it for 15 years and have over 15 million subscribers. This is a favorite:
There is no truth to the rumor that TRex is set to be announced as the new White House Press Secretary. Correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com where it will be promptly be ignored. Are you lurking ????

This is absolutely, categorically, and completely false.
Air Force callsigns are about puns and embarrassing incidents. A pilot who overshot the runway and ended up in sand is "Baja." Get it? Baja racing. It's all in-jokes and also name puns. Ask me how I know.

Not in the Navy.
Callsigns are bequeathed for doing something stupid or memorable. The more you fight the more it sticks.
In my scout troop, the youths set one rule, "Own Your Nickname, We're Not Changing It". One time a scout noted that he had no nickname despite hsving been in the troop for a couple of years. I informed him that one almost always acquired a nickname after having done something extremely stupid. From this, the young man told his mother that "Mr. Krebs thinks I'm smart." "Why is that?" "Because he said you earn a nickname if you do something stupid, and I have no nickname."
I told his mother that I never said that he had not done stupid things. What had bappened was, of the many stupid things he had done, none rose to the level of being stupid enough to call down a nickname upon him.

I hope they make this movie!
They need to make this movie!
We got screwed out of black Superman. We deserve this.
As trans onscreen representation takes a hit in Hollywood, Lilly Wachowski is attempting to make a film with an all-transgender cast… if only the industry will let her.
The Matrix co-auteur recently explained that despite some excitement over the script, financiers “really don’t want to make” her dystopian political thriller The Hunted, which is co-written with partner Mickey Ray Mahoney and budgeted at $10 million, due to the film’s “wall-to-wall trans cast.”
“People like it, but they really don’t want to make it because it’s wall-to-wall trans cast,” said Wachowski on KCRW’s The Business podcast. “I have to get creative and figure out different ways that I can get this in front of people.”

They work. The excesses of the original have aged well. I wrote a scathing denunciation of the sequel, and have never been happier to have been completely wrong.
As a side note, I considered trying to switch over to the Navy so that I could score the trifecta, having done Army and Air Force.

Sure, it might, or at least burst into flame, in addition to giving you one hell of a tongue burned by caustic.
Thing is, though, reactive metals like the alkalis are stored in an oil to stop them being exposed to air or water, so you'd have to contend with that gustatory delight first and foremost, as it would coat the metallic morsel.

I wandered onto a youtube (it could have been from here) about the different jobs on an aircraft carrier. While I would have loved to have flown just once with a pilot, the most dangerous jobs are the guys on the carrier.
They all are in different colors and on this one the guys in green who launch and recover the jets with cables. Hook runners.
It was a very cool youtube. I think this is the one.

I don't wat him dead, and will try to clarify that Israel may have their own issues, but Islam is actively taking over Europe, and Minnesota, and much of the world.
How much of the "Alt-Islam World" is actually "Western", idk. Saudis and others kinda pretend, but where we really stand with them, idk. They have a lot invested in our markets, and that has made them even more wealthy than their oil ... and they must love our military helping them. sigh

Not entirely. Real callsigns are assigned - albeit less formally - by others. Sometimes they get assigned right out of pilot training*. Some people manage to not do anything ... notable after that. Others get picked up for being an oddball or quirky**. And not just pilots, but crewmembers and anyone pilot-adjacent.
Now, some people are lame enough they do pick their own. Nobody cares enough to assign them one. Nobody socializes enough with them to see the sorts of social faux pas that often lead to them.
(* "Flame-face" Martin. Yes, there was alcohol involved.)
(** "Skippy" - assigned because he packed peanut butter when we went to Thailand for exercises. He really couldn't handle Thai food.)

I forget. It might just be something that sits at too high a temperature for too long? I would say Brit Lass's beeswax went considerably higher than 212. I recall reading some things were worse than others.
It's also bad luck because it has to do with existing bubbles in the glass. I personally wouldn't heat anything in pyrex in the microwave for very long.

Uppercase label - PYREX is made in Europe and uses the original formulation of Borosilicate glass.

The American crap will put up with high heat better than standard glass, but it won't take quick temperature changes anywhere near as well.as the European or "old" Pyrex.

Somewhere in the northern part of the city. No street, you'll see why. Caller owns an Airbnb and walked in on two women really enjoying the bed part of the Airbnb together. Caller is mad and wants them kicked out.
So why did the Airbnb owner think he could just walk into the house, much less the bedroom, while the house was rented out?
Or were the engineers stress-testing the bed trespassing?

It is rare to have post-op teaching for surgery these days. So I will teach you (if you see this).
You will have pain but it is going to get better every single day. I had 2 c-sections and remembered all the nurse teaching I gave.
1) You will be asked to take deep breaths and cough to rid lungs of remnant anesthesia gunk. Brace your belly with a pillow and hold it. You need to do this to prevent pnemonia. Also use the incentive spirometer.
You don't realize how much you use your abdominal muscles when you sneeze. Brace, baby, brace with that pillow for a few days as it helps.
2) The first time you get out of bed it will hurt. After that not as bad. Keep moving and it gets better daily.
You will do well and I want to hear how well you are doing. XXXX

Absolutely right. I suppose there was a contract that said the couple would call the shots in such an event -- or any event -- but ts.

Sorry for such a day-walker question, and don't answer if you don't want to go there, but what's with those 5 empty USB drives in Wisconsin?
Like, election officials at some polling place(s) failed to properly download data and it wasn't discovered until these 5 sticks were delivered to... a tabulation center?
I'd have thought digital data could be tabulated on a server and wouldn't have to be physically transported.

It might've been better if Wong had won, from the standpoint of the GOP picking up that seat.

My now and then wise mother told me to consider a nice ring vs class ring for about the same cost.
We went to the jeweler and my parents bought me a diamond and sapphire white gold "dinner ring" for my right hand. Have worn it daily since I was 16yrs old, swimming, skiing, and mountain hikes. My engagement and wedding bands are the same stones. It worked out well! It is promised to our 5yr old grandgirl once I clock out.
Our nieces did the same thing vs a class ring that is good for about a year.

A lot of epoxy formulations require heat to set up. Check with the supplier you bought the stuff from. At one place I worked, we bought a fiberglass "doghouse" to mount some comm equipment out in the boonies. At one point we made some mods to the gear which required cutting some parts of the casing, and then building a little box around it. We dutifully made a disposable mold to build this on, then matted and "goo'd" the thing together. Next day, no setup. Finally called the supplier. "Oh, you have to have the stuff at over 120°F to kick off the catalyst." We rigged up a box over it out of rigid foam panels and stuck a heater in it. It set up fine.

This is polyester resin, like what boats are made of. It gets slow acting in cold weather, but temps in the 50's or higher should be no problem, and it has been in the 60's here last few days. Heat accelerates it, but the reaction itself is exothermic, and a thick application can get quite warm of its own doing.

Dealing with some high current electric stuff for years, I was never comfortable wearing it. I explained this to my wife about 2 months after we were married, and she had no problem with me not wearing it. Now that I'm retired, I got it out... and it doesn't fit. Which is not surprising because I weigh about 60# more than the day we were married.
In the army, I and my cow-orkers would get regularly hassled for not wearing my dog tags. Finally, had some General write us notes, like in high school, giving us permission to carry them in our pockets. Carried that piece of paper in my wallet. Bending over a piece of equipment featuring 350V B battery and having your dog tags swing into it was not anything any of us wanted to experience.

It's a demand thing. The eclipse was going to happen there when people were getting off work, which is a peak demand period. And they're dependent on the solar farms for some fraction of generation, and the heat wave and high market prices cut into what reserves they had.
It's just a stupid thing that anybody with any knowledge would know would be a problem with solar and other "renewable" sources. Tthey are unreliable -- there are these things called clouds that cause that the solar irradiance curve to be quite erratic, and wind is erratic. Erratic and unpredictable is not what you need for power generation.

I worked on many EU-funded energy research projects about "renewables" and other energy topics. There were time when I would wake up in a half-dream of nothing but algae (algae is the Future!).
Not a single one made economic sense, other than one that theoretically could produce electricity from all spectra (not just visible light) at a theoretical efficiency approaching 100%. Very different kind of solar collectors, little nano-sized antennas.
But alas, when I found that Idaho National Laboratory had been trying that and run into technical issues, the University of Vienna physicists said "but ours will work!"

There is a predicted island of stability way up there with certain magic numbers of neutrons. The problem is they can get the desired number of protons, but getting something with the predicted stable number of neutrons is much harder to do.

Element 118 there is named Oganesson. It should be a noble gas. But it is not. Well, it's not predicted to be -- they don't enough of a sample of it to actually see what it would be like.
The nucleus has so much positive charge the inner shell electrons are "orbiting" near light speed, and there are strong relativistic effects which just mess the expected classical behavior up. It will be solid, and likely a semiconductor at room temp, they think.

Well, this got me off on a nuclear tangent. There are other islands of stability predicted at higher Z's, 126, and way up at 164. This would be *massive* nuclei indeed.
And beyond that, there is some theoretical reasoning that a "continent of stability" might exist well beyond that. At that level, you would have nuclei as we think of it, but a quark soup. This would be quark matter for the nucleus. And yes, it could still form atoms of a sort with electrons around it.
This would be truly "exotic matter", beyond any of our kin. Who the hell knows what it would be like.

I'm thinking if any experimental physicists get any ideas about how to create some of that quark soup matter, they might want to hold off on it.
Might better not try that anywhere on Erf.

Dump your coffee can full of coins & let it whirl. Pretty soon, it spits out a ticket that you take to the teller window to get cash or make deposit. (also kicks out the damaged coins and pocket lint)

They really dislike coin-like things that aren't quite the right size or weight, too.
I had a couple Cayman Islands coins in a batch I ran thru the one at my credit union. It made a huge marbles-in-the-clothes-dryer racket, and eventually dumped those coins back out. Which was nice, since I meant to keep them as souvenirs. Not sure how they got stuffed into the spare-change jar.
It never had an issue with Canadian coins, which show up fairly often in MN, and generally get treated as equal to American ones. It probably wouldn't know what to do with a Loonie, though.

I will say this *one time only*--
When I worked in a military club, overseas... my waitressing shift was often scheduled in the area where funk/dance music was DJ'd. Very dark crowd, IYKWIM. I was often propositioned, but thankfully had a very good Master At Arms to protect me & other staff.
I overheard convos that would (or maybe not?) curl your hair. Very derogatory toward YT wimmen. VERY! And we're talking about early 1980s.. can just imagine how much worse it is, since obastard.

For the bubble to pop, they have to see that their bets won't pay out the way they hope. For it to pop gently, they still have to pay out a bit. And we need for them to be at least somewhat wrong, since their bets are so massive I suspect that for them to fully pay off, we'd all be paying them for every bit of compute we need. Personal computers exploded in popularity for a reason, and a world without them would be a human dystopia.
There is a narrow channel of possibility where both the things we need can happen. A technology that enhances productivity can improve the value of the employee to the employer, if it is not able to replace him entirely, due to enabling the creation of more saleable value per man-hour. If the bubble pops from realization that there is no GenAI coming, no "synthetic cognition" or 'singularity', just another productivity tool, then maybe it could pop gently and in a pro-employment way. So, I know what to pray for.

Yes. I dreamed that I ran into the ex-Mrs. Wolfus No. 2, and it scared me, so that I wrote a story in which a man and a woman, two old lovers, meet. During the course of their conversation, we realize that they used to abduct, torture, and murder young runaway girls back in the "good old days." A very disturbing story for sure.

My Buick hit 100,000 miles yesterday evening. On the way to the book club meeting, I saw it had 99,999, so I drove into a bank parking lot and made a few circles until it clicked over. Miss Linda took a pic of the odometer. Not bad for a ten-year-old car, 65K of it under my ownership.
