Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, aka "Ilhan Omar," When Asked If She Married Her Brother: "NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE"What I'm about to say is very obvious but you've come to expect that from me. When Democrats are lying, and realize they're about to be exposed as lying, they begin shifting their denials from objective denials to mere subjective denials. The Clintons, of course, are infamous for this. Bill Clinton first denied, objectively, that he had had no sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky: "I never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." Later, when it was proven that he That Woman Miss Lewinsky had performed both fellatio and analingus on her, and that he had penetrated her vagina with a cigar, he claimed, in his mind -- subjectively -- that he didn't think that oral sex qualified as sex so in his completely subjective view of the world, they never had sex and he was telling the truth. I mean, "oral sex" contains the word "sex" but Bill Clinton claims that, in his mind, in his subjective idiosyncratic worldview, he didn't know that "sex" included oral sex. Because he was doing a lot of parsing and quibbling and evasion in his testimony in the Paula Jones suit, lawyers asked him something that he could not parse his way out of later: They asked him if he was ever even alone with Monica Lewinsky. He claimed, objectively, that he had never been alone with her. Never. When it was proven that he was getting his chocolate starfish serviced by Lewinsky while using her as the world's sweatiest humidor, he claimed that because there were many people in the huge building called the White House, he didn't subjectively believe he was alone with Monica Lewinsky when she was blowing him in the Oval Office. "Maybe I was alone with her," he later conceded, "but I never thought we were." Hillary Clinton perjured herself when she claimed, as an objective fact, that she never, ever worked on the Whitewater account. When it was proven that she had worked on it, and had committed perjury, she denied having subjective knowledge that the account was the Whitewater account. She claimed she only knew the account by its billing code, which was something like "WHC," and had no idea whatsoever that this referred to the Whitewater account. She is claiming that in none of the many hours she billed for Whitewater did she come across a single document containing the word "Whitewater." And of course when she violated the public records act by denying the people of the United States the full documentation of all of her correspondence, by hiding her email communications in a secret bathroom server, she claimed she hadn't done this to keep her communications from the public. Why, she didn't do it for that reason! She just was in love with her Blackberry and this was the simplest way to handle Blackberry messages. I didn't commit espionage by deliberately using an unsecure server which was invisible to the American public (and federal prosecutors) but very visible to the Chinese. I had no idea that would happen! I just wanted to keep my Recipes and Yoga Routines on a special server, for convenience. No "intent!" The Clintons' defense is always: We didn't Knowingly Know what we Doingly Did. I could say that "All liars do this," but that's not true: It is insulting to the hearer to lie in this way, claiming that you didn't know what you were doing when you did it, so most liars avoid this high-risk Lie on Top of a Lie. But Democrats know their supporters are vicious cultists who know they're lying but just need any possible excuse to support the lie, and so will never convict them of perjury if they play the We Didn't Knowingly Know What We Doingly Did Card -- "no intent!" -- so they do push this absurd non-defense. So now we come to Ilhan "Omar," real name Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, who married her actual, biological brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. She knows the feds have her DNA and can easily prove she is Amhed's brother, so she shifts from her prior objective denials -- it's absurd and racist to accuse me of marrying my brother -- to a mere subjective denial -- If I married my brother, I didn't know it was my brother when I married him.Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., denied Wednesday that she married her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, to commit immigration fraud and pushed back against claims that they are related. But when asked if there's any familial relation with her ex-husband, Omar admitted, "Not to my knowledge." The interview marked the Somali-born congresswoman's first time speaking with the media since federal agents searched her Washington, D.C., residence on Oct. 12. The congresswoman's office has not responded to Fox News Digital's repeated requests for comment regarding the investigations and raid on her home earlier this month.
I Didn't Knowingly Know I Was Brotherly Marrying My Brother. Oops! Oopsie! How awkward! There's other evidence for this. Ilhan Nur Said Elmi had a third child with her real Muslim husband. This is the one she was married to when she also married her brother. She later "divorced" Ahmed Nur Said Elmi when he stopped seeking a Green Card -- reportedly, he withdrew his application when they began questioning him about his marriage -- and remained married to her real Muslim husband. Ahmed Nur Said Elmi commented on a Facebook post announcing her third child. Scott Johnson reported on this strange comment. Elmi said, of this little girl, that she was "straight from the vagina" -- which is bizarre enough -- but also called her "my niece." Niece. Meaning, the daughter of your sister.

Some people may have done some things. Mistakes *may* have been made. If so, they were done in the enthusiasm of the moment. What difference, at this point, does it make? Old news. Time to move on. Posted by: (D)emocrats & the MSM at October 22, 2026 12:33 PM (0sNs1) The Morning Rant![]() According to Elabe, a French polling firm, Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally (RN) party, leads the field for the 2027 French presidential election, with 32 percent support. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the far-left France Unbowed party, is on 15.5 percent. Former French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, leader of Horizons, an establishment-aligned centrist party, also secured 15.5 percent. Raphaël Glucksmann, leader of the center-left eurofederalist Public Square party, secured comparable support, with 15 percent. This follows Glucksmann’s successful bid to obtain the endorsement of the Socialist Party after running in the party’s primary.Is she going to win? Maybe, but don't count out the establishment elites of France who are terrified of a Le Pen win and will do anything to prevent it. Remember, she is still under what is essentially house arrest that has been stayed during appeal. But the bigger question: is she the best candidate for France? And the answer is a resounding 'No." Eric Zemmour and his Reconquête party are clearly the best choice for a shot at an economically powerful and culturally healthy France. And he is polling as an also-ran, so it just isn't in the cards, which is too bad, because he would truly throw the bums out! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

I don't see a lot of evidence that Le Pen will be better. She can almost not be worse though.

So let me get this straight, if you cause enough chaos and unrest and anger at the government, even if it is only coming from a minority of the people, a country can be changed forever?
Its easy to go from High Trust to Low Trust, just a few in-your-face betrayals and a constant stream of nihilistic black-pilling. Moving from Low Trust to High Trust involves slaying your dragons, spiritual renewal and a complete ideological re-centering on transcendent moral authority. That is why Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, those who didn't fully believe in the Bible agreed with the other Founders that the "Exodus From Europe" away from the tyranny of Rome and Royalty was a recapitulation of the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt. That is, America is a divine black swan, never to be repeated again. Posted by: Community Notes at October 22, 2026 11:20 AM (/TiS1) 56

I know it sounds bad, but Le Pen and her party can be best described as 'Nationalist Democratic Socialist'.
She is typical left-wing French when it comes to the welfare state, unions, protectionism, etc. The only real issues NR departs from the left on is immigration and the EU. They will be slightly more fiscally conservative, mostly because they have no choice with the bond market revolting, but they will never go full blown American capitalism. If Le Pen wins she will face the same kind of friction and resistance that Trump has faced, and who knows how that will work out in riot-prone France. She may be end up as a band-aid on a limb that's about to be amputated. Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 22, 2026 11:21 AM (6ydKt) 60

How about that. Posted by: JackStraw The 3.5% rule is a political science concept stating that when at least 3.5% of a country's population actively and nonviolently participates in a sustained resistance movement or peak protest event, the government is very likely to fall or meet the movement's core demands. Formulated in 2013 by Harvard political scientist Dr. Erica Chenoweth, based on an analysis of 323 violent and nonviolent political campaigns between 1900 and 2006. In the U.S. population, 3.5% translates to approximately 12 million people. Advocacy groups like the Center for American Progress are actively teaching the rule to demonstrate that resisting authoritarian policies doesn't require a majority vote, but rather a dedicated, highly organized minority. The "Hands Off" and "No Kings" Movements: Mobilizations against administration policies—such as the massive "No Kings" rallies—explicitly cite the 3.5% metric as their ultimate organizing target.

Yes Judy Holliday and Faith Ford. The thing about ditzy is it doesn't always mean dumb.
Sandy from the book City Primeval is a great example. Then when they adapted and ruined it for TV, the actress played the character entirely straight. Which meant boring and uninteresting.

I don't think these opposition "protest" parties have a deep bench.
Experts are overrated, but governing can still be hard and there will be traps. Also, many people are compromised or have hidden agendas; shouting loudly doesn't mean they are competent or clean. See Carlson and Owens. Such issues were also visible during Trump's first term. His second term is almost a miracle, so far. Posted by: PG at October 22, 2026 11:48 AM (JzEAP) 146

So when you start to question them, if you start getting into specifics and why what they believe is totally impossible, the fight or flight response kicks in and they go the arrogant aristocrat route who is too good to lower themselves to debate with you.

Peninsular War?
Posted by: Bulg Nope. Latin-American Wars of Independence. From Wiki: "Manuel Atanasio Girardot Díaz (French: [atanazjo ʒiʁaʁdo]; May 2, 1791 – September 30, 1813) was a Neogranadine military officer and one of the heroes of the Colombian and Venezuelan wars of Independence. He is famous for having died during the Battle of Bárbula, trying to plant the republican flag on Bárbula Hill." Posted by: Bulg at October 22, 2026 09:36 AM (77rzZ) 19

The historical content for the painting is unimportant. It could stand for any righteous rebellion and those committed to it, even to death. The dead and wounded, the broken swords, the pose of the dying Giradot, still resisting, against the bright sky and colorful flag (which s not damaged) makes the sacrifice all the more poignant. It is an effective, emotional painting that goes beyond the actual event.

An amusing anecdote to add to the "leftists are all hypocrites" pile.
Stuart Gordon, film director of the first Re-Animator and fairly far-left political voice, spent a few months discussing sequel ideas (Bride of Re-Animator) with his producer David Yuzna. However, Gordon's agent convinced him to not do the sequel because it wasn't good for his career to do a sequel. So, Yuzna took over the writing on his own. However, Gordon wasn't happy. Yuzna was using ideas that they had discussed together. If Yuzna was going to use those ideas, Yuzna had to pay Gordon. Now, this is fairly standard stuff in the film industry, but Gordon is a radical leftist who hates capitalism. Who won't let a fellow creative, someone he worked well with, just have some ideas that they worked on together without causing problems, much less demanding personal lucre. Extremely minor point of film history and an example of hypocrisy that will convince no one of anything other than that leftist love money for themselves no matter what they say. Still, it entertained me. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, precisely framed and deadpan with Wes Anderson at October 22, 2026 10:17 AM (qGAQr) 126

Obviously, back then, there would have been nothing gay about this. Unfortunately, in our age of stupid, guys moving like this would raise alarm bells. And the flag doesn't help.

A man and his wife check into a nice hotel. The man notices a woman in the lobby and tells his wife that she's a hooker.
The wife says no way... she's just wearing sexy clothes for a party or something. To prove his point, the man approaches the hooker and offers her $50 (intentionally low-balling it, because he doesn't want her to actually accept). She refuses and tells him it's $200. The man has been been proven right. Later in the evening, the man and his wife are eating dinner in the hotel restaurant. The whore walks in, spots the couple, and says to the man: "You see?

It's worth noting that they ran a first attempt at it last year (in the form of a military coup) with the Seditious Six, led by walking penis Mark Kelly. That failed because Pete Hegseth's done a decent job clearing out the dead wood in the services. I'm not sure how their current attempt is intended to work.

Do you remember the other day when the WaPo reported that "national security experts" were briefing governors and other state level pols on the possibility of Trump rigging the midterms and options for response? At least one of their tactics appears to be claiming Trump rigged the elections, call the federal government illegitimate and corrupt, you know like they do in all color revolutions, and have at least some states that are run by fine upstanding Democrats refuse to cooperate with the federal government.

La muerte de Girardot en Bárbula, 1883
Cristóbal Rojas Wikipedia: The death of Girardot in Bárbula Interesting facts: In the painting, Atanasio Girardot is shown falling wounded and draped in the yellow, blue, and red flag. According to historians, he was actually draped in the flag of New Granada. --- AI Overview: The New Granadan colonel, Atanasio Girardot, died on September 30, 1813 during the Battle of Bárbula (in present-day Naguanagua, Carabobo State, Venezuela), at 22 years of age.

The country best known for its cuisine, its arrogance, and its readiness to surrender at the drop of a hat is scheduled to host a regular-season NFL game in Paris between the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game is still on for Sunday, October 25, in spite of the fact that the U.S. Embassy in France is warning Americans to avoid areas of unrest in the country. The million-dollar question is, how do you avoid “unrest” if it decides to come to you? No doubt the orchestrators of the violence will know that disrupting an NFL football game in Paris will get the attention of America. With that in mind, you almost have to assume that the game already has the attention of the “mostly peaceful” violence planners. . . In the face of this, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell feels good about the security measures the league and the French government have in place for Sunday’s game. Of course, that doesn’t speak to the safety of every American fan who will be staying in the city but not under the same protection from armed guards as the players and coaches. You know, the paying customers who will have made the trip across the Atlantic for the game.Hopefully those unlucky and stupid enough not to have cancelled their trip will be fortunate enough if all they encounter is a mostly peaceful hockey game breaking out or Muslim gang-raping on their way to the game. And then we have the blathering of this emotionally disturbed yammering sewer rat: On Tuesday, MS NOW’s The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell made the claim that “America lost the Cold War” due to President Trump’s recent diesel deal with Russia. O’Donnell launched into his hunch that Trump “now has surrendered” to Vladimir Putin. Also in on the guesswork was foreign affairs analyst and Daily Beast columnist, David Rothkopf, who argued that the president has since gone soft on Russia, reversing all the progress from the Cold War with Trump “doing his bidding”Funny but where was this douchebag when Jimmy Carter handed Iran over to the Mullahs, the Panama Canal over to Omar Torrijos and Zimbabwe over to Robert Mugabe while pressuring Israel to hand over chunks of its ancestral homeland to Islamic terrorists and on and on. And I'll bet he was as morose as Putin when the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed, much like Bernie Sanders and his fellow travelers in the Democrat Party, who are now hell bent for leather to re-establish Soviet-style rule here in America while alternately scheming to pack or dismantle the Supreme Court, abolish the Senate and in truth the Constitution amendment by amendment in the name of justice and democracy! And because of all of that and the platform of most if not all of the current crop of Democrat candidates running in the midterms and sadly a horrifyingly large percentage if not overwhelming majority of their voters... Perhaps O'Donnell's statement that "America Lost the Cold War" might be closer to the truth than he thought, and certainly not in the way he thinks. It is he and everyone like him who has nearly brought us to our knees, so thank you and fuck you Lawrence O'Donnell. So you can "stop the hammering" ... and the sickle-ing!!!! Even staunch Lefty Bill Ackman has had enough. Bill Ackman used to be a reliable vote for the Democrats. Today? Not so much. During a recent appearance on a podcast, Ackman described the Democrat Party as crazy, radicalized, and anti-American. It is near to impossible for the average voter not to notice what Ackman is describing here, especially with the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).Good of Ackman to acknowledge this but whether he admits it or not, his party has always been this way, it's just that they did their best over the years to hide it and their totalitarian intentions, to varying degrees of success. Its record of destruction, dissolution and Anti-Americanism is well known, or at least used to be until successive generations of American school children were prevented from properly learning about it from an educational system that is now fully a Leftist brainwashing and propaganda machine. “Reading, writing, arithmetic, and resistance? Students across the country have been taught to join the “resistance” against “settler colonialism” while being taught a sanitized view of Islamic jihad, a damning probe into major school districts revealed Wednesday. House Republicans released the findings of their investigation into multiple school districts after complaints of teachers pushing anti-Israel activism in the classroom. Parents send their children to school to learn reading, writing, and math — not to be taught to hate Israel or embrace radical political causes. Yet that’s exactly the kind of material our investigation uncovered,” Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) told The Daily Wire. The report from the lawmakers focused on curriculum used at school districts in Philadelphia and Berkeley, where parents have complainOn these and all the other mostly depressing links, 70 by my count, I nevertheless bid you all to have a good day.

Actually, numbnuts, Trump is doing the bidding of truckers, farmers, and every American who needs to see the price of diesel go down so they don't have to take out a payday loan to fill the tank up. If Trump did not have to do it due to obvious circumstances he would not be making a deal with Putin at all, other than to end the war, which this deal may help lead to. So, now we're back in a Cold War? Putin called Obama and told him the 80s were back on? Posted by: SpeakingOf at October 22, 2026 07:20 AM (6ydKt) 15

Don't make the mistake of thinking that "Rule of Law" and "Civil Rights" are actual values of the Left. To the Red-Globalist-Green alliance, they are tools to be used to advance the Revolution/Jihad against their common enemy. Sure, the long term goals of the Party and the Ummah differ.

Ackman, your cohort was *exactly* the same, and you were just willfully ignorant of it - and you were able to be willfully ignorant, because you grew up with an actual opposition that kept your leaders in check back in the day, and enough dissenters among the populace to keep your fellow Dem voters from running wild.
But your movement's march through the institutions is complete, there is no organized opposition Party to stop anything, and *these* little monster babies have never heard a discouraging word.

t Trump “now has surrendered” to Vladimir Putin.
A statement that only could come from the mouth of a retard. While whole articles can be written on unpackaging this insane, lunatic statement, I'm more interested in this constant vilification of Vladimir Putin. What exactly are Putin's crimes? (insert long list). How are their crimes and motives any different? We have the Left boasting about once "regaining power" how their plans, including violence, against their political opponents will make Putin's actions to keep and maintain power look normal. They tried to kill Trump several times, they killed Kirk, they jailed and destroyed thousands of Trump supporters, they burn down cities, steal trillions of dollars, destroy borders, murder tens of millions of children, tear down statues, hold the nation hostage in refusing to pay ATC and other employees, flood the nation with violent, criminal invaders, permanently mutilate children, cripple the energy and industrial sectors, and work to erase our history, traditions and character. Most of this is pure sadism and hatred - things that are harder to assign to Putin. Posted by: Community Notes at October 22, 2026 07:46 AM (nAS9C) 55

Now, the election officials in that most populous county in the country in the most populous state in the union admit their voter rolls are a complete mess. And they like it that way. They don't want to know if their voters are illegally voting, even though it ruins the sanctity of elections and tramples the rights of U.S. citizens.
There is a hypothetical remedy: Article I §5, c 1 in the US Constitution where the House and Senate can declare the seats vacant effectively requiring a new election under applicable law. But the US doesn't have anyone of character in either House or Senate to even state this out loud. Posted by: Community Notes at October 22, 2026 08:02 AM (nAS9C) 79

Parents send their children to school to learn reading, writing, and math — not to be taught to hate Israel or embrace radical political causes.
Parents have a choice, if they utterly hate their children and want their lives destroyed—go ahead and send them to government schools. May God have mercy on their Souls. Shmucks like me are stuck holding the bag, forced under the barrel of a gun and eviction / confiscation of my home to pay for this sedition.

But I still think W’s second term was so bad, it set the stage and created an atmosphere where Obama could thrive and McCain would look weak.
There were clues that 'W' was tired of the position and spent the last few years mailing it in. But what I thought was most revealing was the cryptic statement surrounding the ME imbroglio and Grand International Looting Event that made many centillionaires, was that "Obama isn't a threat, he really has no choice". From that, I think even a child could understand that at this point in History, the Establishment fully owned what the rest of us called The Uniparty. The Tick-Tock of Republican than Democrat where the Republicans could burden the US with "patriotic" departments and surveillance apparatus (ATF, EPA, DHS, etc.), and the Democrats could grow Leviathan with "Compassion" atrocities like Open Borders, DACA, Obamacare, etc. Trump broke that teeter-totter swindle and they are out to kill him for that breach of political etiquette Posted by: Community Notes at October 22, 2026 08:36 AM (/TiS1) 136

Zelensky being willing to 'freeze current borders'. 1) is he pretending that means 'official borders' vs the current battle lines? 2) is he gonna renege? 3) does this mean Ukraine isn't doing nearly as well as he pretends, so he is less willing to fight to the last drop of other people's blood?
Posted by: RandomDave at October 22, 2026 07:25 AM (aJQbY) == Zelenskyy will take whatever partition he can get, Putin is the lynchpin. His domestic political situation requires he at least get all the Donbas. That would require Zelenskyy to cede more territory Putin has not captured. That isn't going to happen. And Russia cannot physically get it without massive casualties. And I mean truly massive, so much so that he knows he cannot do it. We essentially have a WWI trench warfare situation with both sides having limited options for advancement. Putin is in a box, Ukraine's drone activity is doing significantly more to disrupt Russia than vice versa. I don't see a solution.

Finally watched 1965's The Ipcress File last night, the film which introduced Michael Caine as British agent Harry Palmer. It's very much an anti-Bond movie, more like a Le Carre spy novel where the supposed good guys are not necessarily to be trusted. A trivia bit from IMDb: Bernard Kowalski, who directed the pilot of Mission: Impossible in '66, was inspired by the look, pacing, and urgency of TIF and strove to achieve something like it in his directing of the TV show. I'm not sure I see it, but the two are somewhat similar.

I think that is the plan. Trump is asking Congress to cough up $1.5 Trillion and that isn't just to pump up RTX and GD. Restoration of industrialization and manufacturing in the US is going to require far more electrical generation than what is available now—nevermind the data centers. No one wants to invest in a project that will take a half generation from idea to producing energy, they require commitments—ideally from industry but everyone knows that politics can turn around and burn down a billion dollar project like Keystone XL and because the US is ruled by absolute retards and sadists, there has to be really deep pocketed "client" which just so happens to be the DOW. Because the US is a Low Trust, Post-Modern, Post-Constitutional, Post-Christian society with Communism and Islam in ascendancy, this is the only way. Get your ass out to the polls now and tell The Producers that you have their back. Posted by: Community Notes at October 22, 2026 09:08 AM (rgGn5) 249

Wow. I've just been going to my usual morning websites before computer AND LAWNWORK and the dems are REALLY GOING full out Nazi outright telling people what they want to do.
I'm kind of hoping stuff happens to a bunch of them so they can stew in private. The things don't even qualify as human. I saw Pixy's thread. It had this. I'm not a gamer but damn... We haven’t heard many details about Microsoft’s upcoming “Project Helix” gaming hardware since the company announced it in March as a device that will “play your Xbox and PC games.” In a new wide-ranging profile of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, though, Fortune alludes to a dual release strategy for upcoming Microsoft gaming hardware, with “a next-generation handheld device” planned by the end of next year and a 2028 holiday season console release that could cost between $1,200 and $1,800. At that price point, it better look and function like 25 year old Summer Glau from the Terminator tv series. Posted by: Stateless - Ralphy - 106 years old!

The picture of the shooter - he looked haunted, possessed.
Thought Experiment: When you encounter a demon possessed person, lock them in Super Max so that the demon and its corporal sponsor will be removed from the public. If you just up and execute the human, the demon looks for another host and you are back to the original problem. That assumes that demons hang out in a body until death. Passage in Matthew 12:43-45 suggests otherwise outside its obvious use as an analogy to "this evil generation" Posted by: Community Notes at October 22, 2026 09:16 AM (rgGn5) 272

I still think Dems take the House slightly.

I respect your thought process here. We could have a good discussion over a MoMeet-style bacon fest. The expensive recount in Florida is forgotten now, but it showed Bush to be the legitimate winner of the State. The Left memory-holed that fact. Posted by: NaCly Dog at October 22, 2026 07:47 AM (u82oZ) Also memory-holed was that Gore lost his recount bid because he was restricting the recount to only democrat majority districts. He wasn’t asking for a state-wide recount, just where he could gain votes. Also quietly forgotten was the suppression of panhandle voters by calling the state for Gore while their polls were still open. The panhandle of Florida is strongly republican.

Good late morning! Thanks, J.J.
*ucking Irish. The Cold War was declared over Dec. 1989; the USSR dissolved in 1991. The ghosts of Hilliary and O "resets" with Russia strike again. Hillary Clinton & the big red button debacle. On March 6, 2009, then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva, Switzerland, to symbolize a fresh start in U.S.–Russia relations. The State Department's gift fell victim to an awkward mistranslation. When Clinton handed over the yellow box with the large red button (which ironically looked like an industrial emergency-stop switch), she joked, "We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?" Lavrov bluntly replied, "You got it wrong." After explaining that it meant "overload," Clinton laughed it off and replied, "We won't let you do that to us, I promise." Both diplomats ultimately smiled and pressed the button together for the cameras. Posted by: L - No nic... at October 22, 2026 11:02 AM (NFX2v) 313
The Russian media widely poked fun at the error, with newspapers running headlines like "Sergei Lavrov and Hillary Clinton pushed the wrong button." Critics and political commentators often brought up the event as a symbol of poor preparation, and many historians note that the "overload" misspelling proved to be a dark omen.
And President Barack Obama and his famous "hot mic" comment to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on March 26, 2012. The conversation specifically focused on highly contentious negotiations surrounding a U.S.-led NATO missile defense shield in Europe. But also in 2012, Putin returned to the Presidency & Obama also won reelection. The Missile Defense talks collapsed, Congress passed the Magnitsky Act and, in immediate retaliation, President Putin signed the Dima Yakovlev Law.

Back to Larry, who - like many - remembers his glory days, working for Senator Moynihan & serving as the Democratic Chief of Staff to the Committee on Environment and Public Works and the Finance Committee, '93-'95. (The Slick Willie early years.)
Reportedly, he was the legislative strategist steering the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 through a thin Democratic Senate majority. (The tax package raised the top marginal tax rate to 39.6%, created new corporate tax brackets, and expanded the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).) It got not one Republican vote, and VP Gore cast the tie-breaking vote. Now it seems Larry is caught up not only doing O's & Hillary's bidding but also Bernie's. 🤷♀️ --- And screw the NFL and the fans willing to piss away their money and maybe get their a**es kicked, or worse, in Europe for a game.

Electronic Arts finally drove a stake through the chest of the shambling corpse of BioWare.
Closest analogy for EA that I can think of from the movies is the monster in John Carpenter's "The Thing". It kills/absorbs the original, mimics it for a while, and then turns into something horrific before your eyes and tries to go after another one of your friends. Get the flamethrower...

I am kind of sad to hear about Bioware although it's the kind of sadness from hearing about a friend you lost touch with dying from a terminal illness. The staff was very determined to force The Message!™ down the throats of gamers once they got rid of the good people and they insisted that their beliefs weren't to blame.

Also in my dream last night, someone had bought one of my favorite houses in town near my old employer. He was renovating it by putting in what looked like a giant sand dune instead of a lawn. He was also giving away some books, so my co-workers and I walked over . . . but the catch was the new homeowner had a huge black Great Dane who lunged at you when you approached the book table.

Mayor Helena Moreno is heading to Paris along with the Saints and their fans for the Saints-Steelers game. She's paying for the trip herself, and says, " 'The very first meeting when I get to Paris is a meeting with city officials, essentially the leadership of the Public Works Department for the city of Paris,' she said. 'They’re going to show what is their largest stormwater basin that they have in the city of Paris that they built just a few years ago that holds about 13 million gallons of stormwater.' "
So, unlike her grifting predecessor, she's going on her own dime and combining it with a work meeting. An incredible improvement. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 22, 2026 06:34 AM (wzUl9) 78

Looking at it and getting it done are two different things. They've been "looking at" expanding and improving the storm & tide water drainage in downtown Charleston for about 50 years now. They've also spent a lot of money towards the goal. Yet every time they have a hard rain, tropical storm, or high/king tide, half of downtown still gets flooded.

I was surprised at the Hall of Fame ticket prices. AMERICAN DOLLARS?????? To put things in perspective, I asked AI how much tickets were to the happiest place on Earth. The Obama Presidential Center opened to the public on June 19, 2026. Here are the official admission prices: Ticket Price (USD) Adults (12+) $30 Children (3–11) $23 Children 2 and under Free Illinois residents (adults) $26 Illinois residents (children 3–11) $15 Guided campus tour, including museum $75–$95 Bragging rights alone might be worth the cost.

What happens when a lefty believe their own propaganda about the ease of buying a gun? This, this happens:
@ginamilan_ 🚨 Florida attorney Lisa C. White has been arrested and is being held without bond in Mississippi after threatening to kill ICE agents. According to the criminal complaint, White went to a gun store in Long Beach on September 23, identified herself as an activist and protester, and said she wanted to purchase a firearm to kill ICE agents. She reportedly asked whether the guns could penetrate body armor, adding that if they couldn’t, she would aim for the head, shoulder, arm, or leg. Store employees refused to complete the sale and reported the incident to authorities. White has been a member of The Florida Bar since 1995 and previously practiced law in Broward County.

Yeah, the Baseball hall of fame is ridiculous. First of all, it has absolutely not "legitimate" connection to Major League Baseball, which seems to be a contradiction within itself.
If you look at their finances (which you can since they claim to be operated as a Non-profit)....they seem suspect. Supposedly, they have about 250,000 visitors annually, along with special events like induction ceremonies and exhibition games. They list their revenue as follows: Total Annual Rev: $17.16 Million Operating expenses: $16.48 Million (yeah...right) Reinvested surplus: $683,112 Total employees: 236 (that seems high for the size of the place) Posted by: Orson at October 21, 2026 10:18 PM (dIske) 59

weft, excellent point, hadn't thought about it. The savvy move would have been to get her ID.

Went to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto years ago. Was good. The Cup was on display, if I recall correctly - or maybe just the retired rings full of names? Anyway, was fun to try to spot the fake names (guys who weren't on the team but had their names engraved, in the early wild years). And also to find one name that was real, dad of a guy on my recreational team who was a Bruins pillar during the Orr years.

We've traveled through Nashville a handful of times, staid over once or twice. Thought we'd tour the HoF ... saw the price and toured the gift shop instead. Even that was very meh ... Much more fun to be had at the eateries and honky-tonks. Have done Cooperstown back in the last Century. The Hall was okay ... highlight for me was the Honus Wagner card. Heh, I was the only one to stop and look at it. The ball field was open and a person could walk around, see how small it was, admire the stream ... I didn't walk the base-paths. Maybe a sense of respect/awe?? Don't know. I believe the field's locked down these days. A real shame if that's true. I came away with a real sense of a "smaller" game, much more personal and alive, kind of thing.

Mr Aspirin Factory, it really is. Names of the winning players forever etched on the trophy (well, it's stand). Over a century old. Nothing else like it.
And, even before the 10-month 127 game seasons, one of the toughest trophies to win (of course all major sports competitions at top-level are incredibly difficult, a universe beyond what normal people can imagine). Also - and I hope this is continuing - a cultural/social treasure being chased by the players. Still remember a story in the WaPo, 90s?, sports writer rode the bus with the Bruins, who'd just eliminated the Caps (SOP back then) in the semis, I think. Writer asked some of the players - so how much do you get ($) for winning this round? Empty stares. "We don't know. We want to win the Cup". They wanted the ring, their name on the Cup. Certainly an artifact of hockey's social origins in that era (predominantly Canadian kids from middle or working class backgrounds, from small towns). Very striking.

I saw Van Gogh's Starry Night up close and personal at the Met Museum in NYC. The paint was thick with a pallette (I guess, maybe his tongue or nose as he was in the asylum). No glass barrier at the time to keep tomato juice from thugs. Just me and that painting.
The type of painting is called impasto. I'd never seen anything like it before and stared a long time in surprise. In places the paint was at least .5" thick. I used to spend days alone in the Met when my dude went to NYC on business. I loved it. Read a book about his sister-in-law, Johanna Van Gogh Bonger (fiction) called The Secret Life of Sunflowers, written by Marta Molnar. A good book. Van Gogh's SIL is who made him famous by selling his art after his death. His art was rejected by the Paris Salon of the time of Post Impressionalism. He only sold one painting...to his brother. However, he kept on painting in his unique fashion, while dealing with depression and poverty.

Used to go to Quebec City every winter for x-c skiing, and eating.

Rhomboid ... Envious that you've played pick-up and have that kid of relationship with family friends who played. V cool.
We live in Chicago's north suburbs (Arrrrgggh) and can attend either the Wolves out in Rosemont or the Admirals up in Milwaukee. Have done both this last year. As a kid growing up in WI, we'd fiddle with the old antenna in the attic until the Blackhawks came through, sort of. Lots of memories of watching those teams on a snowy BW set. Remains my favorite sport, though the exhibition baseball league up in Kenosha is fun too. Not quite the feel of AA or AAA, but a great place to go to a game.

You're the Sabres fan right? Just FYI, back in the early 90s, in Russia (Far East), I actually used a discussion of hockey, specifically Alexander Mogilny, to break the ice (groan) with a Russian MinDef guy whose facility we needed to use. Mogilny was the star of the Far East elite Soviet team, Central Army Sports Club/Khabarovsk. When I mentioned I'd seen him several times in the NHL, the conversation just changed. (For others - Mogilny was the first Soviet hockey defector, always wore #87, for the year he went on the lamb in Sweden) The NGO guy whose operations needed the warehouse asked me after "WT hell were you guys talking about?". He was amused and happy with the results. Posted by: rhomboid at October 21, 2026 11:21 PM (U/Byj) 234

JQ - yeah, electrical, and yeah, the other large burner works fine, if I don't see any damage to the socket (or some simple fix like a loose wire) after I drop the belly-pan I can try that swap. Unfortunately it's one where I have to go in from underneath to service. My biggest complaint about the design, honestly... well, that, and the fact that they didn't put the two large and two small on the same sides, they did them alternating, so it's terrible for things like two-burner griddles.

Haitian mobsters kidnapped four El Salvadorans who were piloting a humanitarian mission. Buckele published a note to the mobsters, in part:
- But I want you, the gang leaders, to understand something clearly: today’s attack is nothing in front of what is coming if you do not hand over the four hostages alive. And don’t take our words for baseless threats. We already end up with the gangs in El Salvador, and you can end up with us too. You still have time to avoid that. - Naiy Buckele https://tinyurl.com/ykchr4wu Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 21, 2026 11:35 PM (vOxCS) 248

That's one thing we had around here in spades. Growing up in the Boston area in the 70s we had awesome hockey at all levels including D1. Even the high school hockey was great. I played against Tom Barrasso and John Tortorella in high school. Bobby Orr lived on my street. And we had great college hockey in all divisions all over New England. Even now I've got Brown, Providence College, URI all within easy driving distance. Great thing about hockey at that level even at the amateur level is the difference between them and pros is not that huge. Posted by: JackStraw at October 21, 2026 11:50 PM (viF8m) 267

And another thing that really got me. Mama had used a hair dresser in Greenville for decades, and I didn't know how long, but it went back to the early '80s turns out, and she was on the first customers of this hairdresser when she was just getting her business started. There was a long list of people to be contacted, and she was on, and I can thank Miley for remembering -- I wouldn't have even thought of her. She immediately, upon hearing the news, wanted to do Mama's hair for burial. Do her hair one last time. I didn't even know that was done, thought it was all done by the Morticians (and it often is), but yep, hairdressers (of a certain constitution you might say) do indeed do this. And it turned out that was easily accomplished, the funeral director said it is often done. That was just so touching to me, I couldn't even....

I just saw the funniest flat-earth self-own I've ever seen. Dave McKeegan is one of the best flat-earth and moon-hoax debunkers on Youtube, and posts some funny videos. Here it is (this is a bit long and in the weeds, and some of you might not find it all that interesting, so be warned): https://t.ly/mCUkk In a nutshell, surveyor, for purposes of showing earth curvature, shoots a lighthouse across a body of water about 15 miles away. Due the earth's curvature, the drop of the top of the lighthouse below the "level horizon" is quite significant. To correct for that and calculate the actual height of what you're shooting, you have to correct for that, based on a formula using the earth's mean radius. It's just basic geodetic surveying methods used forever. A Flerfer (who actually knows some elementary trig) tries to explain that "R" correction. It's not because the earth is round with a radius, not it's due to "visual angle limit" error. An arcminute is always 1.15 miles (sound familiar?), which is based on this visual angle limit. And the base value there just happens to be exactly to the radius of a sphere they say doesn't exist.... Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at October 22, 2026 01:06 AM (w6EFb) 333

Old science said men think about women every 5 seconds.
Is it possible that thinking about women is a causation or relation to testosterone levels?* Is it possible that all of the negative cultural bias against male to female relationships caused young males to think about things (games) other than creating a personal relationship with a female? *the more you think the more you generate, the more you generate the more you motivate Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at October 22, 2026 01:11 AM (vOxCS) 337

I know a little about that World's Fair. In the astonishing space of 9 months, Walt Disney's Imagineers designed and constructed "it's a small world," a test of the viability of a second Disneyland in Florida. The attraction was wildly successful, even though it was one of two in the entire fair that charged admission. Another triumph for the lead creative, Mary Blair, who dominated Disney artistry in the 1940s and 50s and who continues to inspire industry artists to this day. A rather sad soul who was not treated well by her male co-workers at Disney, and who passed her final years utterly stunted by her addiction to alcohol. Well, that's what I know about the fair anyway. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 22, 2026 01:27 AM (mmrXZ) 356

Seattle's World's Fair in 1962 was a hair brain scheme of the local visionaries that realized the city was perfectly located for international trade and all they had to do was get past two big hurdles: in 1962, Seattle was in the middle of nowhere and was perceived as smelling like pulp mills and rotting salmon.
They succeeded beyond their wildest expectations and set Seattle's course for the next 40 years of growth. What they never saw coming was it would be all destroyed by a bunch of blue-haired Communists who who consider public defecation and drug use as a sign of enlightenment.

Yeah "spotted owls only nest in old-growth trees." So they let all the trees grow. And the barred owls used the new plethora of trees to migrate into spotted owl territory. And they're better at owling than spotted owls, so now spotted owls are going extinct because there are too many trees, rather than because there aren't enough trees.

for Oct. 24, the government has decided to send the military into the streets, with soldiers preparing to help police control any unrest.
The government announced on Tuesday that it would reinforce police forces with soldiers and carry out a massive security operation ahead of protests planned for Saturday ---- Are they going to use those newly purchased Berreta pistols and H&K machine guns or are they going be stuck out there on their own?

When I was little, I wanted a Strawberry Shortcake Short Bake Oven. So I could have secret snacks when I was supposed to be sleeping.
No dice. Didn't want those secret snacks to give me an appetite for gay sex. Prudent. Posted by: it puts the lotion in the basket at October 22, 2026 02:38 AM (5FlBj) 408
I just looked it up. The Easy Bake Oven chamber was designed to trap heat, and with that bulb it reached 300–350°F. JQ, you have cookie cutters??? Treasures! Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 22, 2026 02:47 AM (mmrXZ) 409

The local Chevron Station converted to.a Sinclair about 6 months ago. As of last week, when I drove out without getting gas, they still.haven't got the pay-at-the-pump system working.
The gas is good, the price is the same as all the other stations (which is the difference between its previous incarnation, where Chevron was 5¢ to 15¢ above), but walking in, handing the clerk my credit card, pumping the gas, walking back in to get my card back is just too much of a hassle, not to mention having my card off my person for that time.

7 Reports that Tucker blew a penguin have been discredited after it was revealed that he actually prefers sucking penguin ass.
I mean, I'm reading this stuff and I'm like wha-wha...like, where do they get this stuff? Seriously, I find it so bizarre. I mean, I blow penguins. Of course I do. I've always blown penguins. I've blown penguins all my life. I mean, you can ask anybody who knows me and they'll tell you-I blow penguins. I'm not particularly proud of blowing penguins. But I blow penguins. It's just something that I do, something that I've always done. The only source I can think of that would spread this kind of misinformation, that I don't blow penguins, would be that it's coming from Israel. I mean, think about it. It's the only thing that even makes sense. Posted by: T'qar Qatarlson at October 21, 2026 07:50 PM (2Drhq) 34

Virginia man Terry Ward stands accused of tying his wife to a chair and leaving her restrained in the basement of their home while he watched football upstairs.
The incident occurred on October 11. The two teams playing that night were the Baltimore Ravens and the Atlanta Falcons, a game the Ravens won 30-23 in overtime. Richmond Police say they received a call around 11:30 p.m. for a reported domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, they spoke with an adult woman, who identified herself as Ward’s wife. The responding officer revealed that the woman stated Ward had previously tied her up to a chair using tape in their home’s basement. Police said that the woman had marks and sticky tape residue around both of her arms. She told police she had been tied up for between 30 and 45 minutes while he watched the Ravens and Falcons upstairs alone.

Posted by: Bulg at October 21, 2026 08:04 PM (77rzZ) I only remember a handful of words. Use it, or lose it. The texts and study materials I had for Russian (this was 1983 and 1984) were so....Soviet. Other language classes had shiny, interesting, textbooks and study guides. Russian was a small, almost cube-shaped book, black and white drawings when absolutely necessary, but very basic and spare. Posted by: Dash my lace wigs! at October 21, 2026 08:12 PM (zYpTz) 108

Now, they're very careful. They don't say, "He was never naturalized." They say, "We can officially certify that there is no record of him having ever been naturalized." You don't know what you don't know, and maybe semi-intangible space aliens infiltrated their facility and stole the record. The point is, what I heard is that it's gone beyond just "we can't find it" to "there is definitely no such thing in our possession."

Well, actually there is one of her cousins at her generational level that still survives, daughter of my one of my maternal grandmother's kid brothers (who lived to be 98 himself). She's 91 (or maybe 92). Anyway, as part of the SC law about death certificates, they needed to know the full names of both of the deceased parents. And I was at a loss for her father's full name, knowing only the middle initial. The 91 yr old cousin knew. She didn't remember it off hand, but she knew where to find it in all her stuff.

Lost my russki books in a move (disaster, really) but some of them were modern, shiny (western-published). All from the Cold War era. Also lost lots of interesting profanity and specialty books/booklets. And books and pamphlets I bought while in the USSR and shipped back.
Use or lose is true for most foreign languages, some more than others. Thing is now, with the interwebs, easy to listen to radio, watch TV and movies, read media in all those languages in a way not possible way back when. Had a short-wave radio to listen to Radio Moscow (and Deutsche Welle for krautish) back then. Was lucky to finally use the Russian, mostly post-Cold War, but it's been a while. But now with so many emigres, use it with some frequency. Russkis and Ukes have taken over independent washer/dryer repair here, so always amuse and surprise the guys with Russian and questions about their home cities when they arrive.

Washington Examiner: Elissa Slotkin faces ethics complaint over warning to young Trump staffers
By Kaelan Deese Published October 20, 2026 11:19am ET | Updated October 20, 2026 2:01pm ET The Center to Advance Security in America shared the complaint exclusively with the Washington Examiner. The document, dated Tuesday, asks Senate Ethics Committee Chairman James Lankford (R-OK) and Vice Chairman Chris Coons (D-DE) to investigate whether Slotkin’s remarks violated Senate ethical standards. tl;dr John Thune still hasn't emitted so much as a squeak about this glow-in-the-dark CIA stooge.

Teaching kids foreign languages from an early age is about the best thing that can happen to them.
JackStraw above mentioned how perfectly fluent some Dutch guy was in English. It's standard there, has been for generations (in Band of Brothers and I think A Bridge Too Far, the easy English conversations between local Dutch and Allied troops was no movie fiction, it was accurate). Dutch, Danish - usually flawless American-accented English (thanks, postwar American cultural dominance). Many Swedes too.

Language is what we make of it.
Tolkien and "Orwell" Blair thought that language would force our minds along certain pathways. Maybe that's true in the short term. Kevin van Bladel is saying the old Persian language got pushed into a debased creole over the span of the Achaemenid empire. I'm sure that ruined a lot of the old Persian poetry. But the newer Persian gave us the Shahnameh, Rumi, and Omar Khayyam. If Big Brother lost his hold, even his "Newspeak" might end up better than it started with.

Franpsycho good friends (who live a few houses away from Lixiduatlwhatever, he used to go by somethingGoth here) have two adopted Chinese daughters, think they tried but failed to get them into the elite Chinese language school there. But one at least had a Chinese language element throughout at least K-8 IIRC at a public school over near the Mission. Mom is Chinese-American (Cantonese and Mandarin) so they had a good environment to reinforce the basics.

It is disappointing that BioWare went full retard and sunk their business. Dragon Age: Inquisition is an amazing game. And the thing is, there was a female-to-male tranny NPC in that game. But you didn't have to interact with it enough to get into that. You could, but it didn't matter. And it made a funny joke offering to teach a male non-human character how to bind his pillowy man bosom. It really didn't bother me because it didn't matter and it certainly didn't preach.

One of the best recent russki encounters were two 20-somethings (late 20s) at the range, one guy had a DP-27 light machine gun. He'd welded the receiver from a kit back together, of course it was semi-auto. He was testing 54R loads for it. Had the pan magazine and everything. Very cool to see a real one, shooting. They were a bit taken aback at my enthusiasm for WWII Soviet hardware and Great Patriotic War topics, but enjoyed it. Both had been in the Russian army before emigrating.

Turkey under Erdogan is something else. Now they're cruising for trouble in the Med - with Egypt, Israel, Cyprus, and Greece. Via a ridiculous maritime agreement with *Libya*, er, *both* Libyas. East and west. Country and western.
I don't even know what the two Libyas call themselves. I'd suggest some reliable historic names. Cyrenaica and Tripolitania. Even the Romans figured it was best to split the place. Oh and Russia's got its mangled fingers into the Libya situation as well. This may rival Lebanon in the 80s for geek entertainment. Posted by: rhomboid at October 21, 2026 09:00 PM (U/Byj) 245

The point is, what I heard is that it's gone beyond just "we can't find it" to "there is definitely no such thing in our possession." So she is absolutely for sure not a citizen -- most likely thrice over (due to having been an adult and not his daughter), but the one is enough.

In 3rd grade I picked out a tiny white kitten from one of my grandmother's fertile white Persian. I named my kitty, "Snowflake." He never answered to anything and I called him Boobie for reasons unknown. I'd made him a rug to sleep on in in my grandmother's sewingroom. I hung out there with her often, reading her magazines or sewing scraps. Boobie never slept on my rug.We had an apartment on the other side of her house. He grew to be a giantic Tom cat. Once we moved to the farm (which traumatized him for a few days as he stayed up in a tree until he came down), he'd catch rabbits for us. Jump a chain link fence with a grown rabbit once a month or so. To display in all it's gore outside the sliding door on a step to the patio for our breakfast view. Thankful!? He lived to be an old Tom cat. I thought the name, "Snowflake" was pretty but he preferred Boobie. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at October 21, 2026 09:11 PM (hzuYO) 272

No danger of me marrying him, Omar! This baby girl was the surprise to everyone in 2025. A bonus grandbaby. She, like the other two, are crazy about their grandfather, who loves babies. The girls vie for his attention and sometimes attack him and I fall more in love with him weekly. Both girls, unlike our sons or grandson, have also tried to remove his moustache as infants.

Ben Weingarten (@bhweingarten) wrote a book on Ilhan 6 years ago, think much of what's being discussed was covered in it. Also an independent (real) journalist, David Steinber (@realdsteinberg) dug up most of the case against her over the last few years. I'd guess DOJ used those sources as a trail map.

It made the same assumptions about facing a large, entrenched, lumbering, cautious Establishmentarian foe, who will always wait too long to do anything and then overreact. Being the lumbering Establishment, and having a proactive opponent creating new realities (and storylines) every day, is outside of expectations.

I can't stand when people are rah rah for no reason. But I've been saying since the polls started coming out they were designed to depress us but would tighten as we got to election day. Guess what's happening? They do this every frigging election. Abdul was always a shitty candidate. Same with Talarico and Peggy Flanagan. We are doing better in early voting in a lot of areas. Lots of stuff is going our way. Doesn't mean we are going to win but we have as good a chance as the left, we just don't have a media megaphone blasting propaganda for us 7 x 24. Why not be positive?

"Interfere in the Elections"Well at least these " " " intelligence " " " officials are presenting us with very specific, very actionable "intelligence." "Something bad might happen. We don't know what it might be. We should prepare for a wide range of events, including the Null Event where nothing happens at all. In fact, maybe we should put our money on that last one." The WaPo propaganda piece offers no specific evidence Trump is going to deploy the military or immigration agents to voting locations or confiscate ballots and voting machines or otherwise interfere in the election. In fact, the Pentagon has denied it has plans to deploy troops to voting locations and the Department of Homeland Security stated it will only respond at polling locations for genuine public safety threats. There is no reason to even write this article other than to elevate the fever dreams of the "resistance" and cultivate paranoia.... Just this past weekend, one of CBS's imbecilic journalists, Leslie Stahl, questioned Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon about sowing seeds of distrust in the election process by prosecuting people who voted illegally.As usual, Democrats claim that anything a Republican says which raises the prospect of election cheating is a crime against democracy because it undermines faith in elections. Meanwhile, they shart out their 19th conspiracy about Trump doing something to hijack the elections.

You really should look up the last 4 or 5 threads DataRepublican has put up starting yesterday. This color revolution is being run by a bunch of former USAID and NGO drones along with former "national security" types. It's highly organized and well funded. DR believes the WaPo piece you linked was specifically to get in front of her reporting. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is a seditious conspiracy designed not to just take Trump down but to take down the federal government and replace it just like they did in Ukraine and just like they are attempting to do in the EU. It's the same groups funding all of this. Posted by: JackStraw at October 21, 2026 06:40 PM (viF8m) 13

OT - first I've heard about this: Dr. Maalouf @realMaalouf · 3h Two days ago, Australian MP Helen Haines was deliberately run over twice by a pro-Palestine activist outside her office. Today, both her legs were amputated. Despite her speaking out about Gaza, he still didn’t consider it enough, so he tried to murder her.

Let's see if I have this right.
If the Republicans hold or increase their margins in both the House and Senate then the elections were stolen, all Trump administration officials need to be immediately arrested and jailed, charges to be determined shortly, 6 to 10 years, tops. And the elections are invalid and will need to be held again, entirely by mail. If the democrats win both Houses, the elections were just fine, anyone who questions any of them will be immediately jailed charges to be determined shortly, 6 to 10 years tops and impeachment votes for all impeachable Trump administration officials will be held in the House as soon as they can select committee chairs and members.

So, what's the plan if he manages to interfere enough to actually steal the election? A few more years of impotent online complaining until 2028 when he steals the next one? Then more of the same after that?
the revolutionary and civil wars took over a decade to turn into armed conflict, so I wouldn’t expect any immediate reactions such as that. Regardless of historic platitudes of Americans being something different. Just because people aren't posting their intentions on social media doesn't mean people aren't planning for these possibilities. Get off Reddit and look around your community if you want to find out what's happening and participate. 100% It kills me how many people shit on "No Kings." The point of No Kings isn't to maintain a constant, distruptive protest movement. It's intended to connect people and start to build grassroots movements though those connections, which is literally what happened to me. Speaking of election interference, it still blows my mind that the whole Jan 6 thing with him actively leading the attempt at the subversion of democracy in America didn't disqualify him from future office.

You know, sources tell me there may be illegals voting in the midterms. So we should probably bomb all of the polling places from orbit, just to be sure. Or some such shit.

And marxists. Unlike us, leftists have no problem hitting the streets and rioting, looting, assaulting, burning and even murdering. All these things like Slotkin and designed to enrage the leftist mutants and convince them if Trump wins it's illegitimate. Hell, if he loses it's illegitimate.

![]() Cucked coffinrobber Emmanuel Macron says ignore all the video showing black and brown looters and palestinian flags, none of the looters are immigrants and Trump is a big liar. French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday hit out at the "unacceptable and stupid comments from many foreign leaders" in the aftermath of unrest which rocked several French cities over the weekend. "Some people have claimed that we've been overrun by hordes of migrants and Islamists, which is completely false," Macron told reporters during a trip to Qatar. His comments were a clear swipe at U.S. President Donald Trump, who this week railed that France is "being conquered, looted, and burned to the ground by migrants, jihadists, and Communists." While hundreds of thousands of protesters in France demonstrated peacefully over the cost of living and school conditions at the weekend, the mayhem -- including public buildings being set on fire, stores being looted and clashes with riot police -- sparked widespread condemnation in France and abroad, including in the U.S., where Trump is using the French unrest to rally voters ahead of November's midterm elections.You know who doesn't love France? The hordes of angry, violent Third World conquerors you invited to live off the French welfare system before they seize the country entirely. Right-leaning leaders in other European countries like Hungary and Poland also tried to pin the unrest in France on immigration to justify their countries' hard-line policies on the divisive issue. Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar said on X that the chaos that engulfed several French cities makes it "clear to everyone why Hungary advocates the strictest possible approach to migration."Of course the savages aren't all immigrants. Many a stupid, lazy, envious, venemous communists. I linked a tweet about this rich bitch communist influencer. Here's an article about her: A woke French student has become the běte noire of the protests after she mocked business owners who lost their stores in the riots. Lola-Fleur Whittaker, a leftist political influencer who studies at the prestigious Sciences Po Paris, appeared on a TV show Monday to defend the rioters. "Your little shops, that's real cute," she said during an argument about who was to blame for the weekend's violence on her appearance on La Grande Confrontation. But the privileged student was confronted by Jhemima Sheilha, owner of a chain of bakeries who had seen her businesses looted. "It's my life, Lola," Sheilha said. "We've had to see our businesses smashed. What justifies terrorizing people's lives?" Whittaker subsequently tried to paint herself as a poor victim, claiming that her mother is a teacher who eats cookies for lunch because she can't "pay for the cafeteria." But she was quickly outed for a social media profile that revealed she's more bourgeoisie than proletariat. She regularly shares pictures of vacations in exotic locations around the world, including Sicily, Greece, Malaysia, Egypt and Oman.The NFL has one of its international matches scheduled for Sunday in Paris. Apparently they're going ahead with the game despite the obvious security risks. Marco Rubio says "It'll be fine, mate." I don't know about that. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said on Wednesday that he's "leaving shortly" for France to attend the first-ever NFL game there and he's confident it will be safe to attend and play the game due in no small part to assurances he received from United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio, which were confirmed to OutKick by Rubio himself. "We're involved at the highest levels both in France on a global basis with our officials here, including, I had a conversation here with the Secretary of State a couple of days ago," Goodell said at the close of the Fall League Meeting in New York. The terrorist who paraded the naked body of a murdered Israeli woman just got a one-way ticket to hell. Tuq'r Qarlson maintains that Hamas is only "supposedly" a terrorist organization, and "seems like a political organization to me."

Right-leaning leaders in other European countries like Hungary and Poland also tried to pin the unrest in France on immigration to justify their countries' hard-line policies on the divisive issue. Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar said on X that the chaos that engulfed several French cities makes it "clear to everyone why Hungary advocates the strictest possible approach to migration."

From ESPN:
Tennessee Titans coach Robert Saleh passionately defended Jordan Elliott's character and said that last week's gun-related incident involving the defensive lineman was "a call for help more than a criminal act." Saleh confirmed that Elliott attempted to retrieve a gun from his car last Thursday following an altercation with a teammate at practice. The first-year Titans head coach vouched for Elliott, calling him a "good man." "[Elliott] had a terrible lapse in judgment that I recognize as a call for help more than a criminal act," Saleh said Wednesday. "It's unfortunate the way it went down. As far as Jordan's concerned and the locker room and all that, I think people see it differently here than the knee-jerk reaction of the world."

.... the federal judge overseeing the case involving the alleged 20,000 non-citizen voters in California has been switched from Judge John W. Holcomb (Trump appointee) to Judge David Carter (Clinton appointee). This switch will be seen as a win for LA County/California. Judge Carter previously dismissed a DOJ lawsuit against CA last year that accused the state of not following federal laws on proper maintenance of voter rolls.

Late to the thread, so this has probably been asked, but why is the illegal alien mayor still in the country? Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 21, 2026 06:35 PM (mmrXZ) 186

You slap on some DEVO. Your chances of getting laid just declined 300%.
You slap on some Gino Vannelli. The gal has already taken half her clothes off before the first song ends. Posted by: naturalfake at October 21, 2026 06:19 PM (YSUhf) Get laid music?

NFL Game in Paris?
Which team is the 'designated' home team for this game? Will that team be penalized by the (surviving) refs when the red-green mob storms the field, commences killing everyone on the field and sidelines, and as a final insult, tears down the goalposts? What would the resulting unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against the home team for unruly fans be? 15,000 yards? Maybe the home team will be instead be simply forced to forfeit? Maybe Goodell makes an executive decision and rules the game a tie? Asking the important questions now. The ball is in your court, Roger! Posted by: Gref at October 21, 2026 06:39 PM (5rh/l) 191

Burning cars and gunfire. Half the NFL player will feel right at home in France.
Posted by: Blake - semi lurker in marginal standing What if the French "students" decide to make burning the stadium "the thing" on Sunday? Game cancelled. I never understood Paris anyway. The French in general and the Parisiennes in particular hate anything American. Why would the NFL think they'd like a football game? They'll boo the national anthem.

Michelle Rempel Garner says Liberals brought in "too many immigrants too fast" as Canadians line up for scarce jobs and wait 20+ hours in ERs. Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab insists the reforms "are working."
I vote left, but admit the level of immigration is insane. At least spreadem out, not all in Ontario. ya and not all from one single country PLEASE my god. do equal percentages, or a flat 20k cap for the one country, they are simply fully overtaking entire sections of cities its bad. having a poor and large population benefits the billionaire overlord class(mark carney himself) the most so.. goodbye old Canada I'm a dyed-in-the-whool socialist and I think we have a severe immigration problem. It's clear the Liberal governments have a conservative immigration policy: one which serves corporations, universities/colleges, banks and landlords. A socialist immigration policy would bolster public services with doctors, nurses, daycare workers, social workers, etc. It would increase refugee resettlement; people who, in my professional experience, development a high level of gratitude and love towards Canada and their new communities.

Not surprised buy this rich French bitch, lives off the hog and is a Revolutionary. Most Revolutionaries are well off living off their parents.
Posted by: Skip at October 21, 2026 06:13 PM (Ia/+0) More 'living ON the hog', but yeah. Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at October 21, 2026 06:17 PM (zZu0s) ==== In these parts, we'd say she's living high on the hog. A Limousin liberal. Posted by: mrp at October 21, 2026 07:22 PM (rj6Yv) 198

The Slap. I remember the first time I the Slap.
Early 1970's, on Empire Blvd, at the Blue Gardenia. Anthony gave Frank a Slap that stopped the chewing. All worked out, with Anthony getting blowed up later. My guess, some boys from Sicily gonna take the whole country over. For the better.
