Trump Fires Three-Star General for Leaking to Press, Lying In Three Failed Polygraph Tests
Alexandra Ingersoll
@AlexIngersoll NEW: On background from a War Department official: Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, who was part of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was fired by Secretary Hegseth for severe misconduct. Although Sylvia's title was director of the Directorate for Strategy, Plans, and Policy at the Joint Chiefs of Staff, known inside the military as the J5, he was NOT a central planner for the Iran War. That is the responsibility of CENTCOM and its commander Admiral Cooper. Sylvia is the subject of an investigation for leaking classified information about the Iran War, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and more. Due to the Pentagon's media policy requiring journalists to have escorts in the building, Sylvia began meeting with journalists outside of the Pentagon in order to leak classified information. Sylvia failed three polygraphs which questioned him about leaking classified information. The investigation into him remains ongoing and has been referred to the Department of Justice for further action. The extent of his leaking became so critical that Secretary Hegseth took immediate action and fired Sylvia in order to protect national security. Urgent action was needed and could not wait another second.
Beege Wellborne saysthis comes after a story leaked to Steve Jobs' Widow's Vanity Magazine The Atlantic, claiming that Pete Hegseth is incompetent. Fox News:
War Secretary Pete Hegseth fired one of the Pentagon's senior strategic planners amid an investigation into allegations he leaked classified information to journalists about the Iran war, Russia's war in Ukraine and other sensitive matters, a Department of War official told Fox News. The official said Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia failed three polygraph examinations related to alleged disclosures of classified information. The investigation has been referred to the Justice Department. Sylvia is also accused of meeting journalists outside the Pentagon with the alleged intention of leaking classified material after Hegseth imposed new media restrictions requiring reporters to be escorted inside the building. Fox News Digital has reached out to Sylvia for comment but did not hear back at time of publication. The Justice Department declined to comment specifically on Sylvia but said it has "ongoing investigations related to possible leaks of classified information" and works closely with the Department of War. Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell said the personnel action followed "an extensive Air Force OSI investigation," though he did not identify Sylvia by name in his statement or provide further details about the investigation. Parnell issued a pointed warning to those suspected of leaking classified information: "Our commitment was not an empty promise. We vowed to find you, and we meant it." ...
The official stressed that Sylvia was not a central planner of the Iran war, which falls under U.S. Central Command and its commander, Adm. Brad Cooper. ... Sylvia is the second officer leading the J5 to be removed under Hegseth, following Lt. Gen. Joseph McGee. Hegseth also removed Lt. Gen. Douglas Sims, then director of the Joint Staff, earlier this year. President Donald Trump told reporters Sylvia is going to have "big problems, long term problems" on Thursday.

(Jump to bottom of comments)Feds Raid "Adult Day Care" Centers In New York That Are Almost Entirely Fraudulent and Used to Steal Money from the American Taxpayer and Send It Back to... the Chinese Communist Party
NYC's biggest fraud scheme? Feds RAID adult day cares across the cityOh sure I'm certain she's right on top of widespread immigrant looting of the American taxpayer. Video report here.
The feds raided at least two Brooklyn adult day cares on Oct. 20 as part of a sweeping probe into more than 100 sites suspected of Medicaid fraud involving everything from money laundering to kickbacks, officials said. The crackdown is part of a monthslong "massive effort to combat fraud and abuse" involving taxpayer dollars and some of the state's most vulnerable people, Gov. Kathy Hochul said.
Audit: New York State is permitting B I L L I O N S in Democrat constituency groups' theft of taxpayer funds.
Wall Street Apes
@WallStreetApes INSANE 🚨 100% of New York adult daycares that were audited WERE FRAUD "We audited 15 of these -- There's no record of a single meal, activity, single hour of supervision" ILLEGAL KICKBACKS were also reported with these adult daycares. How the scam works is the daycares will sign people up and offer them $1,000 per month cash The adult daycare can bill about $120 per day to taxpayers. So they make about $3,600 per person and give the person $1,000 of it per month back as a kickback So they pocket $2,600. The person with the Medicaid insurance gets $1,000 Taxpayers are being robbed blind
Oh, you mean exactly the credit card zip code checker that could immediately block foreigners from donating to Democrats which ActBlue specifically disabled so that all the illegal money would flow in? Isn't that odd that the same things keep happening, and it's all part of what prosecutors will one cay call "a common scheme or plan." Let foreigners loot the taxpayers, then take kickbacks from those same foreigners illegally donating to the very politicians who enabled their plunder.
A new report examining New York state audits found billions of dollars in Medicaid payments lacking required verification, an estimated $11 billion in improper unemployment payments and widespread failures to enforce financial safeguards. The report, produced by the State Financial Officers Foundation and OpenTheBooks.com, reviewed findings from the New York State Comptroller's Office between 2018 and mid-2026, identifying oversight problems involving Medicaid, unemployment insurance, local governments and affordable housing. Among the largest findings, New York paid approximately $31.5 billion for Medicaid personal-care services between January 2021 and March 2023, but $14.5 billion -- roughly 46% -- lacked matching electronic records verifying when services occurred or how long they lasted. A 2024 Comptroller audit found that the state had a system capable of blocking certain payments without the required Electronic Visit Verification records, but the feature was not activated.
... Auditors separately flagged $21.3 million in potentially improper Medicaid payments, including visits billed while patients were hospitalized or lasting too briefly to qualify for reimbursement. "This audit found a disturbing lack of oversight and failure to comply with the required service verifications," New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said in the 2024 audit. "The state Department of Health needs to do a better job of protecting the integrity of these services and safeguard Medicaid funds."Meanwhile, Democrat judges are absolutely insistent that illegal aliens' illegal votes for Democrats be counted. Jennifer Van Laar:
Judge David Carter of the Central District of California ruled against the Department of Justice's emergency motion to require California and Los Angeles County election officials to sequester ballots returned by those on a list of 20,000 people the federal government had determined to be "likely noncitizens." In a scathing 26-page order, Carter likened the federal government's effort to prevent illegal aliens from voting to efforts to keep black Americans or women from voting, and to Jim Crow-era laws like "poll taxes, literary tests, and other obstacles to prevent people from casting their vote." In the introduction, he wrote:Now the woke judges are all about States' Rights. Sure.
Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional elections procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch. In bringing this lawsuit, the Executive would have this Court believe that it reigns as a sole sovereign. But California and its people are sovereign, too.

"Ma'am, this is fraud."
Dr. Oz confronts a New York City senior day care director during a surprise visit, questioning Medicaid billing records that appear to show more seniors receiving services than are actually present. Dr. Oz presses the director over the discrepancies as federal investigators expand their crackdown on suspected fraud at senior care facilities across the city. The director disputes the concerns, but Oz isn't finished asking questions. See what else investigators uncover during the surprise inspections: https://t.co/XXBgS4qi5W @foxnewspolitics— Fox News (@FoxNews) October 20, 2026

There is one key difference in Carter's attempt at argument by analogy. The examples he cites are where the federal government was interfering with the ability of AMERICAN CITIZENS to vote.
Illegal aliens have ZERO right to vote in ANY election in the borders of the United States.

It's all redundant and obvious and yet somehow needs to be noted. Behold the arrogance and illiteracy of yet another idiotic federal judge. The federal government going through an open, painstaking, completely documented process of identifying a small number of the almost certainly yuuuuge number of *ineligible voters voting* in CA this cretin likens to racial bars to voting.
Again, as is my annoying habit only because it is obviously the larger key point - imagine the degradation of the electorate, civic culture, judiciary etc that would treat this judge's absurd statement as anything other than the spittle-flecked rantings of a homeless addict on the street corner.
Oh yeah yeah process will give another bite at the apple. We're far past where that is any solace. The damage done to the country and society by unaccountable lawless power mad racist and totalitarian judges has long since passed the point where undergraduate awe and worship of the process is anything but pathetic.

Things like this widespread fraud really bug me in the way they don't attack it. Cut off all of the adult daycares in NYC. Just don't pay. Make them sue to get it back on, and then make them bring receipts to court. It just doesn't make sense to go after one by one. But that's the govt for you.

Sounds like aiding and abetting election fraud, and accessory to commit election fraud before, during and after the fact. Arrest that man in the black dress.

Judges SHOULD be arrested for aiding and abetting criminal activity based on their own actions.
They let murderers wander freely in the streets.
By any reasonable standard, the judge is responsible for the criminal actions of that individual if the judge was in a position to prevent it from happening.

This is perhaps the most perfect example of recent government corruption. There was a big outcry: women need more daycare centers! There was a solution: the federal government will fund and encourage creation of daycares!
And fraudsters immediately took it and made it work for themselves.

Other than playoffs they never filled half of the seats they put out, plus they were handing out free tickets like mad. If you were at the casino when they were playing a game you would be handed free tickets if you wanted them and still over half of the seats were empty.

Does California have a fine for false accusations of this nature?
Non-citizens can't vote. This is just more of him setting the stage to claim "election fraud" and usher in J6 around the country.
When you have zero shame, you keep going with this nonsense in the hopes of eventually getting a favorable/incompetent judge to side with you. All it takes is one to open the floodgates.
Who could have imagined the party of pedophiles and rapists, would not understand the word no.
Its a republican practice to cheat elections. Never forget Jeb Bush disenfranchised black voters in Florida for his brother George against Al Gore.
Despite that, Al Gore still won and the election was stolen.
And trump and Republicans set up a fake elector scheme in 2020 to rig the elections. They also allow musk to make up fake lotterys to buy votes for trump. Cheaters gotta cheat

Things like this widespread fraud really bug me in the way they don't attack it. Cut off all of the adult daycares in NYC. Just don't pay. Make them sue to get it back on, and then make them bring receipts to court. It just doesn't make sense to go after one by one. But that's the govt for you.

Okay, I have another idea. Cut off the daycares and tell them to go to their elected state officials for their money. State officials, those nonpareils of efficiency and responsiveness, must forward their requests to HHS officials. HHS officials will audit the requests on a quarterly basis and if irregularity exceeds 4%, the whole budget is denied. Lather rinse repeat until your state officials learn how to submit a proper request.
Just spitballin' here, that's how it would go in the real world.

O Captain: Patrick Stewart Dead at 86
He's been looking more and more frail for years.
Stewart died Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles following "a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia," longtime spokesperson Kelly Bush Novak announced. "He has been held in the warm embrace of family and friends, surrounded by live music, prayer, tears, laughter and the kind of profound emotion that only he could inspire after a lifetime of devotion to us all," Bush Novak wrote. "We will forever cherish the peaceful ease and reflection on his face, an enduring reminder of his invincible grace."Please feel free to use this thread to talk about off-topic stuff, like movies or shows or books you'd recommend. I had not planned a mid-day entertainment thread, so I have not much to add here. I wasn't a fan of Star Trek: TNG or Stewart for that matter, but I know that many people were. As everyone always points out, he was one of the first knights to declare for Arthur in Excalibur. Which, as everyone also always says, was filled with no-name actors who would soon become big names: Gabriel Byrne and Liam Neeson, for example. Plus Helen Mirren and the great Nicole Williamson, who had previously dated and absolutely loathed each other and had to be cajoled into working together. But I think they were already kinda well-known, and they didn't become big stars like Byrne and Neeson. So here's what I'm watching: Elementary, again, and Person of Interest, this time, for the third time. Both shows are good but Person of Interest continually surprises me with how many genuinely good moments it has and how much smart science fiction stuff. It was commenters who recommended it to me, ten or twelve years ago. I think maybe Garrett said it was "Daredevil in a business suit," which is semi-accurate, but actually downplays how good it is. If you don't know the premise: An ultra-reclusive computer genius with the fake name "Harold Finch" created an artificial super-intelligence after 9/11 to scan all of the trillions of megabytes of data being hoovered up to find the actual terrorists and their plots. But the ASI, called "The Machine," was too good at its job and didn't just find terror plots, but any kind of premeditated crime like kidnapping and murder. It began alerting the government to these threats, but the government wanted to limit what The Machine did, largely because the entire scheme was unconstitutional and illegal and they didn't want to have to explain how they're suddenly showing up at murder scenes before the murder is committed. They can tell some lies to explain how they foil the occasional terrorist attack, but they don't want to like 1,500 times a year about the murders they thwart. So they declare all non-terrorism-related threats "irrelevant" and ignore them. But Harold Finch is haunted by these preventable murders that he could stop but doesn't. So he uses the backdoor he built into the computer to tell it to send him the social security numbers, and only the social security numbers, of people The Machine predicts are either going to be the victim of serious violence, or the perpetrator. And because he's a pencil-necked geek, he recruits a special forces ex-terrorist-hunter with the pseudonym "John Reese" to be the strongman of the team and actually deal with the threats. So the premise is: This is a murder mystery show, but we enter the murder mystery before murder happens, and if we can figure out who is being threatened and by whom, we won't just solve the murder, we'll prevent the murder. It's a great premise. Many shows would just take this premise and run with it, ignoring the background story of how this is even possible. But Person of Interest takes it to the next level and also features stories about The Machine itself, and specifically, dangerous foreign nations who have figured out that America now has an ASI and want to seize it for themselves. Most episodes are about stopping murders and kidnappings, but a fair number are about the fight to keep The Machine secret and safe from the very dangerous people who would like to hijack it. And the sci-fi and legal framework is solid. For example, the reason the government says it's legal to scan everyone's emails and bank statements is that it's just a computer looking, and it doesn't count as a "search" until a human sees the information. (That's why Finch's machine only supplies social security numbers -- the humans have to do the real digging themselves.) The point is: this isn't just something they made up for the show. This is the real-world government legal position on the use of computers and artificial intelligence to search and analyze records. The show doesn't treat you like a moron (mostly). For example, we'll see a POV shot from Reese, where he looks down at a man's pantleg and there's a slight bulge at his ankle. He doesn't say "ankle gun" to the audience. The show relies on you having seen the bulge yourself, so you know why Reese reaches for the man's ankle after punching him in the gut. And it has a lot of espionage stuff too. It's basically a mix of your four favorite genres: Mystery/detective, spy action-adventure, science-fiction, and street-level superhero.
Highly recommended, including for a rewatch, if you haven't seen it again. It holds up.

Patrick Stewart was wasted on Star Trek.
The plot was just...ugh.
ToS had issues but it was FUN. TNG was just kind of boring.
Oh in this episode there are bad guys that won't listen. Patrick Stewart offers them tea. They fire phasers. Worf says to kill them all. Stewart tries to talk to them. Worf phasers them a few times. Now they listen. And we find out in the end they just needed to learn to listen and about the power or friendship blah bah

I mean, the state of Oregon Department of Revenue and Department of Human Services Employment Division apparently can't figure this one out and they have all the databases.

SSN fraud comes up in the show a few times. For example, in one case, two people are associated with the same SSN because one is an identity thief, but they don't know who is who.

TNG was best when it didn't follow the formula (which, as 18-1 notes, existed).
I might go watch Yesterday's Enterprise again. Alternate-reality where Picard helms a warship. Third season is where TNG starts arising from the bullshit of the first season and the writers-strike of the second [although I do like the ep where Riker is an officer for the Klingons]

loved that dude
anyway, sad news. he had a good run tho
watching Dark Matter season two which is pretty much terrible. season one was great! it didn't need a second season.
Carrie was good I thought, but again, not excited about the continuation into a second season there either. not sure why I guess bc King and Flanagan are best bros now

As everyone always points out, he was one of the first knights to declare for Arthur in Excalibur. /i]
OPutside of Star Trek, that's what I remember him for, along with 'Gurney Halleck' in Dune (1984).
And of course, Professor Xavier, in X-Men, which he did a really fine job with.
I liked Stewart in some other things as well.
His Ebeneezer Scrooge wasn't bad, and he did that Moby Dick movie I watched once.
I'm glad he got a chance to do the Picard series, even if the first and second season pretty much sucked, the third season was a nice little reunion show of TNG, so I enjoyed it.
Sucks about Stewart's politics, but he was a Brit, so you get what you get.
RIP Captain.

His Ebeneezer Scrooge wasn't bad, and he did that Moby Dick movie I watched once.
I'm glad he got a chance to do the Picard series, even if the first and second season pretty much sucked, the third season was a nice little reunion show of TNG, so I enjoyed it.
Sucks about Stewart's politics, but he was a Brit, so you get what you get.
RIP Captain.

The problem with PoI is the secondary characters are cardboard and annoying clichés. The first season nails the spot well, but the successive seasons are just more CBS crimetime stuff. Elementary did a better job avoiding that weekly bad guy, solve the crime, IMHO.

I honestly don't know, but my two favorite Patrick Stewart moments:
The Ice Bucket Challenge (some time in the 2010s?): All the other celebrities get doused by ice or what not. He gets a bucket of ice next to a really nice chair and writes a check for whatever the cause was supposed to be. Then pours himself some alcohol. Because the point was raising money.
Telling about his time on the set of Dune, where he meets Sting and unintentionally humbled him because he honestly had no idea who Sting was. Absolutely hilarious.

For anyone using Proton, this story might interest you.
In internal communication, an employee noted they weren't doing penetration testing (checking to see how easily it can be hacked) and pleaded for time to do it before release. The CEO said that's bullshit and loser thinking.
Proton bills itself as a service for those who are interested in security and anonymity. Apparently the CEO doesn't have the mindset to maintain that illusion.

The plot was just...ugh.
ToS had issues but it was FUN. TNG was just kind of boring.
Oh in this episode there are bad guys that won't listen. Patrick Stewart offers them tea. They fire phasers. Worf says to kill them all. Stewart tries to talk to them. Worf phasers them a few times. Now they listen. And we find out in the end they just needed to learn to listen and about the power or friendship blah bah

I mentioned this the other day and got willowed, so since this is sorta a movie thread, I'll state it again.
A movie based on the country music song, Ol' Red, has been green-lit. Pre-production starts early next year with filming to follow.
There have been many threads on Reddit over the years asking opinions on which songs would make great movies and Ol' Red is almost always one that is mentioned, multiple times, even.
No idea who is going to star in it, and you won't find this being reported on the internet movie sites yet, but my information comes from a source about as close to the horse's mouth as one can get.

i don't think I agree. Fusco and Carter are good, and then Elias is interesting, and when they add Root at first she's amazing, though then she turns into a lesbian ninja cartoon, but that's only towards the end. Shah is mostly good though I guess you can say she's the standard girl badass. I think she's better than that, thoujgh.

And the sci-fi and legal framework is solid. For example, the reason the government says it's legal to scan everyone's emails and bank statements is that it's just a computer looking, and it doesn't count as a "search" until a human sees the information. (That's why Finch's machine only supplies social security numbers -- the humans have to do the real digging themselves.)
The point is: this isn't just something they made up for the show. This is the real-world government legal position on the use of computers and artificial intelligence to search and analyze records.

Man, I hope the humans never have to lie to a FISA judge.

I met Patrick Stewart before he was PATRICK STEWART. It was 1980 and he and his then-wife were giving lectures around CSUN, where I was a theater student. I had a lot of free time that day, so I followed him around from venue to venue. At the last venue, a seminar room, we found it was locked and someone had to get the key. So he and I were sitting on the hallway floor waiting, and he asked me if I was an actor. I shrugged and said, "Such as I am.". He smiled and said, " Such as any of us are."

Because it's an open thread by my love, Ace the Great, I'm going to post a blues song I love. Not because I have the blues, just the doldrums.
Things are looking up as I now don't have to cook dinner, which leaves me more time to do the dreaded chores that are going away soon. I love to cook when there is not stuff to do.
My dude is a blues acoustic man by hobby and innate talent. Taught himself piano and guitar as a teen, and hardly reads music. Probably due to being a math genius. He can hear a song and play it on the piano.Not how he made his money to provide for us, as that involved computers and stuff I don't understand at all.
I don't have the blues (just the procrastination), but I love the guitar on this song as well as the entire song. He introduced this to me on a car drive up the mountains many years ago.
He's a walking juke box. We hear a song in the movies and I ask who did that...and he knows.
He's a big Moron but just hasn't met you...after all he married me, and God help him, he's stuck with me.
Still Got the Blues

Toilet paper here, all of them, have this stupid thing where they have on the package "30 = 62" meaning you're buying 30 rolls of toilet paper, but the value is so great, it's like buying 62 rolls!
Like how blue states count Dem votes.
Is that a US thing too?
100 small KitKat, Aero, CoffeeCrisp and Canadian Smarties were $12.99 Canadian. Not too bad.

Well, Eraserhead, Lynch had total control. Spent a year in editing because it was an independent film he'd mostly self-financed over a five year shoot.
He did not have any editorial control over Dune and was contractually obligated to turn in an edit no more than 2 hours and 17 minutes long.

>>>82 Worf was badly mistreated in TNG IIRC.
I saw people note that they did the same thing with Worf that they did with Superman on Justice League.
Whenever they wanted to prove that a new villain was tough and powerful, they'd have him come in and immediately one-shot and rag-doll Worf (and Superman).
I know the writers of Justice League realized that after they'd done this 20 times, they had inadvertently turned Superman into "the guy who immediately goes down in a fight."
and then I saw a compilation of Worf being used the same way, as the object that gets smashed to prove the new threat is serious.
(Kind of the same problem the Leonardo DiCaprio character had in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. )

ToS had issues but it was FUN. TNG was just kind of boring.
Oh in this episode there are bad guys that won't listen. Patrick Stewart offers them tea. They fire phasers. Worf says to kill them all. Stewart tries to talk to them. Worf phasers them a few times. Now they listen. And we find out in the end they just needed to learn to listen and about the power or friendship blah bah

Like TOS, there were some very good TNG episodes. But with more than double the numbers of seasons/episodes as TOS, they can get lost.
One of TNG's problems was giving everyone and their dog spotlight time. No one gives a rat's hindquarters what Cabin Boy Wesley is up to.

I always thought Next Generation was pretty bad, very inferior to the original series, despite having a much better budget. But Patrick Stewart was a very good actor and I liked him in a lot of other stuff.
He was great in Excalibur and I, Claudius, and of course Dune.
The story goes that he was so stiff and formal an actor, so professional that he had a hard time with Star Trek's themes and the other actors until he learned to loosen up and just have fun.

Unfortunately a post-scarcity economy has never and will never exist and who knows if FTL is possible
I can just imagine the protests against dilithium crystals thought, now that would be funny.

Picard was the intellectual's captain.
He really tried to avoid violence unless necessary but he did get pissed off enough a few times where he turned into a madman.
Picard was a very human ST captain.
One of his best episodes, and one of Stewart's best job acting, was an episode where he returned home to France, "Family", to be with his brother and his wife & son after the Borg had transformed Picard into 'Locutus of Borg'. Picard at that point was considering leaving Starfleet, but decided not to after a fight with his brother in the family wine vineyard over Picard being afraid to get back to his life again and head back to Enterprise.
It's a very powerful episode, but it's definitely not Captain Kirk.

I'm sure this has been done before, but what about this for a show idea: A crime drama. Starts off standard. Detective solves crime. Yay. Then as the season progresses, you start to notice that the solutions to the crimes are getting sloppier and sloppier, with bigger holes, and even the judges and lawyers are starting to realize the guy is slipping and they can't even prosecute his shit anymore. Then it turns out the detective had been the murderer all along. And probably also a drunk. They always have to be a drunk, for some reason. I don't know why.
yeah.

It took my mom in about 6 years and it destroyed me to watch what happened to her.

> Kind of the same problem the Leonardo DiCaprio character had in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
I liked that part of the movie. It's an interesting conversation about realistically examining your position and your options. Sure, you're in Hollywood and appearing on TV and movies. But you're the "heavy" and you're always going to lose. The audience knows you, but will always associate you with the losing position. Why not go to Italy, make some money, be the winner for a bit, and enjoy the break?
The conversation feels real, and it does a good job painting the picture for the audience. This is a journeyman actor who is on the way out.

I'm sure this has been done before, but what about this for a show idea: A crime drama. Starts off standard. Detective solves crime. Yay. Then as the season progresses, you start to notice that the solutions to the crimes are getting sloppier and sloppier, with bigger holes, and even the judges and lawyers are starting to realize the guy is slipping and they can't even prosecute his shit anymore. Then it turns out the detective had been the murderer all along. And probably also a drunk. They always have to be a drunk, for some reason. I don't know why.
yeah.

Person of Interest is one of my favorite shows ever. Great premise, acting, and story arcs.
That was well written. The characters acted like they should have in their situations and did what they reasonably should in their situation with their abilities. Its so frustrating watching 99% of shows where people don't do things they ought to because it would harm the story the writer wanted to tell.

31 watching Dark Matter season two which is pretty much terrible. season one was great! it didn't need a second season.
Yeah, pretty disappointed myself. It just seems to meander around. It introduces "mysteries" that are not very mysterious, the resolution of which is sorta boring. Doesn't help that it hops around between different versions of the same character and keeps introducing new characters.

The way I would write this (we've talked about it before here) is to have it run exactly like an Agatha Chrsitie-type adventure. She comes up with this complicated solution that makes the police detective with a simpler answer look foolish and nails someone. But after a few books, the detective eventually proves she's killed all of those people and framed others.

I have heard that the 1989 British TV version is even better, though it doesn't have the super-atmospheric sets and lighting of the Harry Potter version.

I've never seen the TV version, but that HP version is just dripping with dark atmosphere.
And, it's well lit at the same time.
Also, the director and writer, James Watkins, just released Clayface, which is supposed to be pretty good.

Andrew Robinson, and he did indeed do a damn fine job with the Garak character. That was a truly Interesting character.
You'll see Robinson in a lot of the older shows, Mannix, Barnaby Jones, etc, etc, running on MeTV. He could play a good creepy villain type.

I'm watching Enterprise now, while doing my project.
Very fun show. In terms of Captains Archer was up there because everything was new. They were hesitant to use the transporters unless it was an emergency.
And they made it a point to expose as much of Jolene Blalock as they could.
And that was a good thing.

The Traveler was some kind of alien that could manipulate space, time, and warp fields with his mind.
Supposedly he recognized this same gift in Wesley and offered to take him to train him, kinda like a Jedi as far as I could understand.
Wesley agreed and he was gone after that episode.

I enjoyed TNG when they stuck to classic SciFi themes. Exploration, problem solving, perseverance, unknown threats, and situations were all fun things for the characters to experience, explore, and overcome. But I could never fully embrace the concept because I simply don't understand why anyone would choose to be a secondary character on a star ship. You can go find any life you want.
If you want to be a big fish in a small pond, you can find a sparsely populated, beautiful planet and thrive. You ship in a replicator and a nearly endless power unit and you're all set for life.
If you have political aspirations, go do that. If you want to create, go do that. If you want to be a hedonist, go do that.
But why would you bust your butt to get into Starfleet academy only to end up a third tier night shift maintenance man? All of the work, danger, no pay, isolation, etc. for what benefit? You get a small bunk, a small job, and no recognition. The best part of your day is Troi walking by and you get a glimpse of her butt. Why would you live that life?

The original 80s Fright Night is fun, and not too scary or gory. I recall a 2009 movie called The Hole that was very creepy, but not so gory. Or you could say "fuck normality" and watch "Rubber". It isn't scary, but does have gore. And it's made by a crazy Frenchman.

🚨BREAKING: Jane-Michelle Arc, a biological male from the San Francisco area who identifies as a woman, left the United States for the Netherlands and applied for asylum, citing fears about the political climate and personal safety.
He arrived at the Ter Apel asylum registration center, the main entry point for asylum seekers in the Netherlands. The facility has long struggled with severe overcrowding and repeated security problems. The Netherlands Red Cross recently paused some outdoor services at the site after a rise in violence that local authorities linked to a disruptive group inside the center.
Conditions at Ter Apel have been difficult, with ongoing reports of tension, limited safety, and strained resources.
According to reports, he apparently now wants to come back to the US.

Started watching ST:TNG when it first aired, but fell off fairly quickly -- think it was seeing an episode that was just a meh rewrite of an episode from the original series that did it. Saw the movies, though, and liked Stewart well enough but haven't seen him in much else besides Dune.
Ciaran Hinds -- there's a strange little flick called The Eclipse, with Hinds, Aidan Quinn, and Iben Hjelje. A sorta kinda ghost story maybe set around a small literary festival in Ireland. Worth a watch.

I saw people note that they did the same thing with Worf that they did with Superman on Justice League.
Whenever they wanted to prove that a new villain was tough and powerful, they'd have him come in and immediately one-shot and rag-doll Worf (and Superman).
I know the writers of Justice League realized that after they'd done this 20 times, they had inadvertently turned Superman into "the guy who immediately goes down in a fight."
and then I saw a compilation of Worf being used the same way, as the object that gets smashed to prove the new threat is serious.

It's such a trope that TVTropes calls it "The Worf Effect."
And illustrates it with a panel from a Superman comic.

Saw a creature feature on Prime titled, "Hungry".
About a group of tourists in the Louisiana swamps to see gators and instead run afoul of a very territorial hippo or two.
I'm not going to tell you that it's a great movie but it is a very entertaining one. Well worth a watch.
There will be chomping!
BONUS! You get a minor history lesson. The story's premise is based on a 1910 Congressional Bill to introduce hippos into Louisiana to alleviate a meat shortage. In reality the bill didn't pass. In the movie hippos were brought in anyway.
Check it out.

The Conjuring is great.
There's a movie that's like the Pulp Fiction of horror, with four separate stories that cross into each other like Bruce Willis crossed into John Travolta's story.
Trick r' Treat -- gory, but not like extreme gore that makes you uncomfortable, more the gore that just gives you a jolt and then a laugh

As for their economic system, yeah, that was TV magic, and they contradicted themselves over and over as the shows went on.
Their economic system in TNG was basically the replicator.
Without that thing the entire system fell apart.
And as for recreation for maintenance crew, they could date and have sex with real people on the crew or in the HoloDecks.

+1 for The Long Good Friday. Bob Hoskins gives a terrific performance, with one of the best acting jobs ever in my book in the very last scene. He doesn't speak in that scene. He gives the viewer a progression of facial expressions with accompanying body language, showing a range of emotion, that viewers will immediately understand and can sympathize with. I won't give any spoiler beyond that.

The 2nd season of "The Terminal List" is now showing on Prime.
When we left our hero at the end of Season One, he sailed off to die at sea from a brain tumor.
Surprise! he didn't die and now has been roped into a mission to stop a new Al-Queda terrorist cell.
The once the show actually gets going. It has some spectacular action, very fun, tense watch, buuuuuut it takes you around 4 episodes to get there.
If you can put up with the slow plot mechanics, you'll have a great time.

The replicator (or "duplicator") was noted as a problem for global economics as long ago as George O Smith in "Special Delivery".
Smith solved it with an irreplicable substance. DS9 had latinum, a liquid at room-temperature but could be encased in some noble metal that wouldn't alloy itself with it. This tended to be gold.

How could he go from frickin' HAWK, badass on Spencer for Hire...to that flouncing "Captain" of the Enterprise on a show that shouldn't have ever been called "Star Trek" in any way, shape, or form?

"Hope" is not good. Surprising, given who wrote and directed it, but it is.
Once you get to the end, you'll be rolling your eyes and muttering "Oh, fuck you "Hope"!!!!"

Highly recommended, including for a rewatch, if you haven't seen it again. It holds up.
I caught Person of Interest first run from about mid season three to the end. I'm trying to work my way from the beginning to that point now. Hopefully Amazon will continue to keep it on Prime until I can finish. >8^O

Yes, that's what mean, by the time DS9 was on you'd hear about gold-pressed latinum every episode.
Mostly because of the Ferengi but the humans weren't above using it.

Almost the premise of a Henry Kuttner (Lewis Padgett) story about a dude trying to get away with murder in a world where the cops could look back in time after the murder looking for clues. Has a twist ending. Called Private Eye.
Alfred Bester's Demolished Man was a murder investigation where the cops are telepathic but have to find real world evidence. Another twist at the end.

No. We're not in a "post scarcity" world. If your choice is working in the local factory, working a farm, or military, lots of young guys will choose military. You get the GI bill. You get a good disposable income. You might get to play will expensive guns. For many decades, the US military was a pretty good option compared to some of the alternatives.

One of the mentally ill ones is a woman who's -- I can't remember, something like "trans nonbinary." She's got 2 gender things going on, and somehow she has a partner.
Anyway, she's been on her channel sobbing hysterically as she throws away or gives away or sells all her stuff, leaves her office that she'd painted and decorated just so, says farewell to her family, because the Trans Krystallacht is coming. She just doesn't know what form it will take.
She makes it to Canada and immediately starts begging her followers for free or below-market rent, Must Have! a separate room for her office and allow a large dog.

There was a pretty funny series of stories by John Brunner about a future "Consumer Reports" review of futuristic products. One was 'automatic twin-tube wishing machines' that could produce anything. One of the 'tubes' was the moderator that limited illegal or immoral wishes but one incident with a single tube model was a family on a planet whose 5 year old son, angry at being sent to his room started producing nuclear armed robots 3 meters high and took over the planet.

From Yahoo News, TV ratings so not totally out of entertainment field.
"Fox News is suffering a catastrophic drop in viewership, which has plunged to historic lows just before the midterm elections, according to new data.
Preliminary Nielsen ratings obtained by Status ahead of their official release show that the Trump-friendly juggernaut is on track to post its lowest-rated month in total day viewers since December 2023, averaging just 1.1 million total viewers throughout October 2026. However, last year's ratings were buoyed by huge stories, including the Gaza ceasefire and the hostage release.
Among the key 25-54 demographic coveted by advertisers, the outlet is headed for its lowest-rated month in a quarter-century, averaging a paltry 98,000 viewers. It places third in that group, and fifth among 18-49 demos.

The collapse represents a brutal 27 percent drop in total viewers and a 32 percent dive in the 25-54 demographic compared to last October.'

>>one of my favorite 80s horrors, along with The Thing.
True story. I played in a company softball league when I first got out of school. After one game we went over to one of my teammates apartment to watch The Thing.
His former roommate showed up with his girlfriend and they brought a literal plastic garbage bag full of this new cheese popcorn thing they invented. It was delicious. A bunch of us powered through the whole bag.
They decided to take their popcorn idea and make it into a company. They called it Smartfood.
Now every time I eat Smartfood I watch the dog. Just in case.

There was someone else in that movie other than the atomic hot alien vampiress bitch who was naked the whole movie?
That is my recollection of the movie as well. I am sure there were other people in that movie but its like how the sun blots out all the stars in the sky.

It was a prestigious thing to be in Starfleet.

Ha ha ha ha ha
In a society with replicators FREE EVERYTHING and nobody has to make anything or pay for it.
People were motivated to go into space for years, at risk of life, and take orders . . .
because of they could have holodeck sex. RIIIIIGHT. Cause sex simulations or the real thing would only be available on a space ship.
Naw bro. You can't have all that they had in a free society. Utopia is fake and gay. Those people were all under orders.

But the ASI, called "The Machine," was too good at its job and didn't just find terror plots, but any kind of premeditated crime like kidnapping and murder.
Here's the problem I'd have with the show:
90+% of murders are just gang members and streets criminals shooting at each other randomly with their Glocks held sideways, often hitting bystanders.
Drivebys.
Fentanyl-addict liquor-store robberies gone bad.
Low-IQ pimps flying into a rage and killing their street hookers.
Etc. etc. etc.
And most of the remaining 10% of murder are semi-spur of the moment domestic violence flipouts.
Which leaves us with maybe 1%-2% of murders at most[/b[ that are premeditated Agatha-Christie-style planned murders. They're actually comparatively rare.
But in the show, it is depicted that all these thousands of murders can be "predicted" because they're "planned ahead of time." Nuh-uh. In the real world, it ain't like that.

I was there and disagree. Kirk was Kirk even before the movie was out, and the trinity of him, McCoy and Spock let them do humor, action, tension, anything. Wrath was just the apex of the TOS arc.

If you like your Halloween treats in bite-sized portions, you could do a lot worse than revisiting The Ray Bradbury Theater. Quite a few of those episodes make perfect Halloween viewing.
My own favorite from the series isn't exactly a ghost or horror story; it's "The Town Where No One Got Off," with Jeff Goldblum. Worth a look if you haven't seen it.

Good movie, but "The Wicker Man"ishness of it robs it of a lot of tension.
I suggest you pair "Midsommar" with "The Menu" for a Flambe' Horror Saturday Night.
In certain ways they are mirrors of each other.

Which leaves us with maybe 1%-2% of murders at most that are premeditated Agatha-Christie-style planned murders. They're actually comparatively rare.
From cops I know and have read about say the hardest murder to solve is the passing through. Two guys get in a fight or just road rage, or some crazy shoots someone as they pass through town and are in another state by the time the body is found.

I just finished binge-watching Season 5, and I think they're setting up a possible ending for River in S6, just in case. Final S5 episode, he tells Louisa that he's leaving MI5. And Diana definitely said that she didn't want him back from Slough House, despite Lamb going to bat for him to return to regular service.
I'm starting S6 tonight, so I'm wondering where it's going from here.
As for Lowden, I think he'd make a pretty decent mid-level Bond, and he's the right age. Needs some creatine and gym time though, but if Amazon throws money at him, he'll put in the work.

Most spaceships in science fiction television/movies have artificial gravity, right? (keeps budgets down)
So do they have standard toilets like we do here on Earth?
What happens when someone is using it and the artificial gravity fluctuates because of a technology glitch?

In theory they could use the transporter to beam the poo out, but in the printed plans to the enterprise there were bathrooms in the cabins and toilet-equivalents. Never shown on camera.

Gary Moore was Irish, loved blues but never went to MS. Tin Lizzy to the blues.

Others were influenced by Blues Revival, such as Jimmy Page and the Rolling Stones, growing up listening to their music. Some learned from blues/jazz singers/guitarists touring in the UK like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and BB King. Kim Simmons of Savoy Brown also grew up listening to R&B.

DOJ "Aggressively Investigating" Democrat Plot to Defraud the Voters of Alaska as Mary Peltolta Continues Lying About Her Role in the Election Interference
Yesterday I mentioned a NYT report that establishes that, despite a year of lying about it, Democrat Congresswoman Mary Petolta, now running for Senate (and endorsed by "Republican" swamphag Lisa Murkowski), is behind running a man called "Dan Sullivan" to siphon votes away from the real Dan Sullivan, the incumbent Republican.
The New York Times: Yes, the shifty Democrat socialist whore Mary Petola is behind the recruitment of a nobody loser named "Dan Sullivan" to run against the incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan.
Operatives aligned with Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates in an effort to dilute support for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan on Alaska's crowded ballot, according to The New York Times. The effort, internally dubbed the "ballot composition project," included an early directive to a Peltola staffer in the summer of 2025: find as many people named Dan Sullivan as possible in the state. The goal, the report says, was to land another Dan Sullivan on the ballot to create confusion and siphon votes from the incumbent. ... The staffer complied, combing through voter records to produce a list of Dan Sullivans from across the state. This was no random request. Dan S. Sullivan is the name of the state's Republican senator. And if the Peltola campaign or its allies could track down and persuade another Dan Sullivan to run for Senate, the confusion could cost the senator crucial votes on the state's unusual, four-person ballot. The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan. The Peltola campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement in his candidacy. But The Times has found, based on interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Peltola's team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run for Senate, but the effort was much broader. The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race, to dilute the incumbent's support and help catapult the Democrat to victory.Despite being busted by the leftwing New York Times, whose report is based on inter-campaign emails and other documentary evidence, Mary Peltola continues to insist that she didn't Knowingly Know what her entire campaign Doingly Did. Boy Democrats sure get a lot of mileage out of that "defense," huh? Her campaign put out this lie:
"The Alaskans for Mary campaign has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign. Like Mary, our campaign is focused on lowering costs and fixing the rigged system in D.C. and did not recruit any candidates into the race," the Peltola campaign said in a statement to NewsNation affiliate The Hill. The DSCC also told The Hill in a statement it had "no involvement" in recruiting the other Sullivan. Peltola's campaign did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.She's also getting mileage out of the Democrats' other "defense" -- we shouldn't be talking about my election interference. conspiracies to defraud the government, or family stocked foundation to roof with Muslim Brotherhood terrorists, we should just focus on affordability (for which I have no plan except claiming Trump Did It.
Now comes word that the DOJ has in fact launched a criminal investigation, and that the subpoenas are flying like crows towards peanuts:
Reportedly -- according to Mark Halperin -- the Democrat lawyer/fixer who quaterbacked this criminal conspiracy to defraud the voters of Alaska is... the guy who attempted to defraud the voters of all America by quaterbacking Hillary Clinton's RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION hoax:
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ 1h BREAKING: Colleague @davidspunt reports via two sources familiar that there is an ongoing DOJ "aggressive criminal investigation" into Daniel J. Sullivan appearing on the ballot for US Senate in Alaska, and the investigation has intensified in the wake of the bombshell NYT report today. DOJ sources tell David that multiple grand jury subpoenas will be issued in the coming hours and days, and there are preservation orders to cell phone companies that are being prepared regarding text messages and emails that may build a timeline for how Daniel J. Sullivan was placed on the ballot. The investigation is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Alaska and federal prosecutors are interested in potential charges relating to the depravation of rights of Alaska voters. The investigation is expected to go beyond Election Day and has been underway for several months.
John Reese - Person of Interest
@Rickisback_ON_X Just In: Per Mark Halperin on Megyn Kelly, the Marc Elias law firm was involved in the fake Dan Sullivan Candidate search in the Alaska Senate race.
🚨Mary Peltola in August:
“It should be a criminal offense to lie or mislead the electorate. YES!” https://t.co/oemOFQJxKZ— Senate Republicans (@NRSC) October 28, 2026
Marc Elias's name just landed in the "second Dan Sullivan" scandal.
The New York Times reports that Peltola aides, DSCC staffers and the CAMPAIGN'S LAWYERS helped push a retired teacher named Daniel J. Sullivan to run against Sen. Dan Sullivan. Peltola's lawyers in Alaska? Elias Law Group, which is now fighting Trump's DOJ to make sure the result gets certified. Mark Halperin says Elias's firm was involved in the search. That's his claim, and the firm didn't respond to Reuters. Peltola's ex-campaign manager said Peltola was "definitely aware." Peltola and the DSCC deny it. Alaska, vote for the REAL Dan Sullivan. 🇺🇸— Mila Joy (@Milajoy) October 28, 2026

Because of if I were a someone from Alaska and looked at my ballot and it had the candidates with the same names ,I'd say "What the heck?!!" and ask for clarification from an election official. I have to give a backhanded compliment to the people on the woman's campaign who thought this clever crookedness up.

Nothing will happen. The election is lost. The Democrats will take over and jail all those who called for Mark Elias to be punished. Mark Elias will laughingly laugh as he strolls down the cell block of all those wrongfully imprisoned for trying to protect electoral integrity.

Democrat socialist whore Mary Petola is behind the recruitment of a nobody loser named "Dan Sullivan" to run against the incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan.
We'd like a few words with this "Dan Sullivan" guy.

How many ads did this Other Guy's campaign cut? How much air time did they buy?
How much of his campaign funding can be traced directly to Peltola's campaign?
Is there any indication at all that this Other Guy is running an actual campaign beyond getting a slot on the ballot?
(To be honest, if you're so damn stupid you can't figure out to vote for the guy with the R next to his name and not the other guy, then your vote shouldn't count anyway and you should just stay the fuck home. But ammunition is ammunition so fuck 'em.)

Actually a trial judge chucked him off the ballot and the Alaska Supreme Court ordered him back on. Now they have had their faces rubbed in this shitty decision and are likely to screw Peltola and her lawyers for lying to the court. Fake Sullivan may be in trouble too.
Hopefully this will put a curtain on the whole RCV shitshow voting procedures in Alaska and elsewhere now. It is a bullshit procedure guaranteed to be gamed to benefit losing candidates that can suddenly win.
Scotus should have killed this RCV scheme and the stupid all party blanket primaries as well which are equally susceptible for rigging.

BREAKING: The DOJ’s “Operation Ghostbusters” has flagged 830,840 potentially fraudulent federal student aid IDs, tied to nearly $130 million, in a scheme that allegedly used stolen American identities to enroll fake “ghost students” and send the aid money to Kenya.
5 charged, $32M+ in confirmed losses so far, $750K+ in crypto seized, and DOJ estimates the total fraud since 2021 at well over $200 million.
Posted by: weft cut-loop
Trying to figure out how this would work.
So... if it's federal student aid, it has to be disbursed through a university. The university gets its cut (tuition, fees) before the remainder is ever given to the student, after classes start.
If the student withdraws from the university before the drop deadlines... I don't know if that money is refunded to the student or handed back to the Feds. Probably refunded to the student.
So I guess they wouldn't need the willing cooperation of a university, or they could have made up their own school.

Speculation on X is that the scheme originated at the DSCC which means Democrat sitting senators are possibly at risk from an investigation. With Elias involved, that makes it a national scheme, not just a local story.
So they detonated the landmine to blow up Peltola to save the rest of it. Possibly Dems have already given up on that race anyway from stats. Peltola is supposedly running well behind what is necessary for Dems on Rez voters.
Blowback may also sink the Democrat candidate for AK Governor and right now all the pols in AK are running away from this stinkbomb.

Polling in AK is worthless more or less due to RCV voting and how it works. Plus you can refuse to put any other votes in your ranking which makes the second and third rounds where you add in second and third ranked choices difficult to predict. That is why RCV is junk as a voting standard.

I remember reading a while ago that Schumer personally recruited Petola. Every single Democrat in DC knew the Russia collusion shit was a lie. They knew the Ukraine phone call was a lie. They knew all the lawfare against Trump was a lie. They knew this fraud was done intentionally by their party.
I can absolutely understand being pissed at the do nothings in the Republican Senate. I can't understand for the life of me being angry enough about it to not vote against actual criminals who would throw any or all of us in prison for no reason if they could. We are about a tick away from being Brazil. I will crawl to vote against them if I have to.

77 Another win for rank voting in Alaska.
Posted by: AZ deplorable moron
An initiative to kill RCV for 2028 and after is being voted on in the same election. This might get it over the top and a controversial 2024 initiative vote appeared to end it until suddenly enough votes were found to continue it. Murcow is the reason it failed in 2024. Not sure she has much to argue about keeping it now this stinkbomb has blown up and thrown brown fecal matter around.

The only turd in the pucnhbowl I can see is that the Donks gerrymandering in Cali is probably going to net them 5 extra donk seats.
Can the GOP redistricting offest that? Perhaps, but it's already a knife edge and I don't really see the GOP picking up donk seats.

Eh, a lot of blackpillers want a boogaloo to begin right now and want to burn the place down. Same with the lefty version of modern Fire Eaters aka DSA types.
But in truth, only a sociopath WANTS to accelerate political crises into a hot Civil War because once they start, it is hard to finish without a bloodbath. And the US has nukes galore and we might just see the first civil war with nukes being used on the homeland. For that reason alone, pushing a domestic hot civil war only benefits our outside enemies.

I hope this GOP woman wins, it is concerning that Murky supports her. But whatever!
I'm still tired from yesterday's wacky day altho I slept well. Not that anyone cares as I bark at the moon, which reached it's peak and is a Waning Gibbous. Not to be confused with Raylon Givens of Justified, whom I happen to love. Where am I?
I have the doldrums. Now I wonder if the Dims had any humor or IQ to use this against Robert Dole in the campaign against him. Because my brain is a map of tangents firing off sparks of almost connecting synapses under a bath of CFS.
This acryonm is not to be confused with chronic fatigue syndrome...which I don't think I have unless faced with chores I don't want to do, or most days due to procrastination.This should not to be confused with predestination. Altho it is true that I was predestined to be a procrastinator.
Or container freight station, clean fuel standard, or creative financial standard.
Need to do some dreaded chores. Start dinner. Dude arrived home & girls flirted with him today, he reports. I widened the door for his ego.
We both still got it.

Actually a trial judge chucked him off the ballot and the Alaska Supreme Court ordered him back on. Now they have had their faces rubbed in this shitty decision and are likely to screw Peltola and her lawyers for lying to the court.
Not to get all Clintonesque but is it really lying to the court if they know you're lying but just want to go along with it?

I don't think any entity in history has had a civil war much like what we would be entering. Most civil wars are peasant vs peasant. We happened to have one that was American vs American, but it was still a damned nightmare.
This mess shaping up now though is basically Cowboys and Terrorists. And terrorists can't win a war, they can only fuck up someone else's Peace. Once the limiting agent is gone to keep the Cowboys from killing the Terrorists outright, no "rules of engagement" or "Fwendsh acwosh the aisle", then they'll flee into the woodwork and let America breath free for a couple generations until they're inevitably back once again. Maybe as commies. Maybe as rugfuckers. Maybe as something not yet invented. Who knows.

Becerra's flacid imitation of Joe Biden is hurting turnout in CA versus Hilton. Kliley who went technically independent but caucuses with the GOP is in a close race and might win. Daladao is also in a close race. Dunno about the Issa seat. That were several flips the Dems counted on in CA.
CA also has the gerrymander problem of when you maximize seats, you spread your voters too thin making a turnout more important in a marginal race.
Blake's stronger run in NY is shoring up Lawler and the candidate (Constantino I think) running for Stefanik's seat there in particular.
The importance of good GOP candidates for top line races like governor in blue states like NY and CA have downballot turnout effects for GOP in those states win or lose.

139 There are actually THREE of them.
Daniel S. Sullivan: legit R, current Senator
Daniel A. Sullivan: legit R, former Anchorage mayor. Not running for anything this time. Has endorsed Daniel S. A bit of a prick, based on my personal interactions with him, but not fake.
Daniel J. Sullivan: fake D-controlled ringer
Moral: if your name is something like Sullivan, name your kid Marmaduke or whatever if you think he might go into politics.

Easy, if real Senator Sullivan wins in AK, he changes his first name to Senator. As in the earlier thread, we now have a General Admiral USA. So why not Senator Sullivan who is a senator.

The importance of good GOP candidates for top line races like governor in blue states like NY and CA have downballot turnout effects for GOP in those states win or lose.
Posted by: whig at October 29, 2026 03:54 PM (E4rtv)
========
Long story short:
Probably not enough.
All estimates of the House assume CA maxes out for Dems. GOP could have gotten 5 or so more seats from redistricting in certain places that would have probably gotten them right to a fairly certain, and very bare, majority.
So, it'll be down to like a dozen coinflips to see who manages a caucus with a majority of about 5 or so.

Yesterday, I had a colleague develop an entire eCommerce website, from nothing other than a bunch of scanned PDFs of parts catalogs from the 90's and early 2000's ... in an hour. It's fully functional, graphically sharp and modern, and capable of accepting live orders right now.
He used a network of AI agents. He owns his own software company - except he has no employees. He has an org chart made up of solely AI agents - at the top is an AI Agent called "Chief of Staff" which coordinates all of the subordinate AI Agents. All of them. Claude, Grok, OpenAI... multiple accounts on each platform. Each working independently but coordinated by a literally agent org-chart.
Imagine someone using a system like that to compromise systems. Nothing is safe anymore. I'm actually contemplating taking all of my money out of the bank and burying it under a rock in the back yard.

Long story short:
Probably not enough.
All estimates of the House assume CA maxes out for Dems. GOP could have gotten 5 or so more seats from redistricting in certain places that would have probably gotten them right to a fairly certain, and very bare, majority.
So, it'll be down to like a dozen coinflips to see who manages a caucus with a majority of about 5 or so.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
I don't see a contradiction. GOP has to hold as many of these seats they already have to versus the ones they lost. Bad candidates for governor in CA and NY make it harder to hold seats like Stefanik's in NY or Issa's in CA.
It is a turnout game now as polling and prediction markets are going to give way to facts on the ground as to votes outstanding, votes remaining, holding serve on ticketsplitting, etc.
Watching blue tsunami dreams die bit by bit with each new voter drop and the Dems version of Steiner will come is that yutes under 40 will storm the polls in the last of EV or Election Day. Which contradicts all past history of their voting behavior.
Ohio has voters under 40 at about 12 percent of votes so far. Overwhelmingly Gen X and Boomers voting.

Lying is fundamental to both communism and islam. At this point, the Republicans need to stop playing the whole we can work together game and straight up start with the default position of whatever the democrats say or do is a lie, bad for the country, or evil in general. They should vote and act accordingly. Any republican that wants to play nice with the democrats should be told to gtfo and never run for any public office ever again. It will, however, be up to the voters to hold them accountable to this.

1. I hate prank YouTubers
2. Don't mess with people
3. You never know what people are going through, don't add to their stress
That said, his reaction seems out of proportion to the offense. The guy claims he was able to take a small amount of money off the guy's phone. Then he confesses it's a prank. Laugh a little and move on. It's not that serious.

> 120 So the woman making you decide between Dan Sullivan and Dan Sullivan is a bona fide member of the Yupik tribe?
They're a type of Eskimo (not, repeat NOT "Inuit"), and don't usually use the word "tribe", so as to avoid being confused with Indians/"Native Americans". I think the feds may use "tribe".
Alaska has two major types of Eskimo, Yupik and Iñupiat.
The Iñupiat are fairly close to the Canadian Inuit, but don't usually call themselves that.
The Yupik do NOT like being called "Inuit".
The languages are in the same family, but quite distinct.
Historically the two groups did not get along.
At all.
Calling a Yupik "Inuit" is sort of like insisting that a Spaniard is "French" just because they both speak a Romance language... in other words, it's the kind of thing that might get your ass kicked.
Stupid white Canadians have spread the idiocy that all Eskimos are "Inuit". Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Both groups also hate being called "Indians" and the Alaska Indian tribes (there are a bunch of them) detest being called "Eskimos" with the burning fury of a thousand suns.
Unless you're SURE what an Alaska Native is, it's safest to just use the word "Native".

She's also getting mileage out of the Democrats' other "defense" -- we shouldn't be talking about my election interference. conspiracies to defraud the government, or family stocked foundation to roof with Muslim Brotherhood terrorists, we should just focus on affordability (for which I have no plan except claiming Trump Did It.
This is why I think the Dems are going to do way more poorly then the polls are claiming.
They are running on the fact the price of things hasn't declined enough from Biden's peaks by...running on Biden's policies.
Yes yes LIVs...but really if you are a LIV you are going to vote for the guy that doubled the cost of everything versus the guy that cut your costs by a few percent?

Senate is probably GOP 52-54 seats. House is about a dozen or so. Seth Keshel has it at about GOP at about 212-213, Dems at 210-2011, tossups at 11-13. As TJM said, flip a coin but no sign of massive Dems gains in votes cast so far. Election will be older and whiter electorate as young people are just not showing up and have at best 2-3 days of EV left and Election Day which is always predominately GOP as much as 60-40 in places like Ohio.
Contest becomes a math race to chase votes--Dems voted early as they tend to do via mail or first EV days, then GOP catches up with later days of EV and Election Day being dominated by GOP votes. So you get into the weeds of low propensity, primary voting or not, past presidential voting or not, past midterm voting or not, etc.
GOP is running a much better turnout model this year than previous and focusing on rural voter turnout

Unless you're SURE what an Alaska Native is, it's safest to just use the word "Native".

Bernadette is Aleut. So, yeah, Native. She's also Wally Hickel's granddaughter, which makes her Alaskan royalty, politically. She doesn't brag on any of that. She just gets to work.
And BTW, there are Yupik and Cupik. They are not the same. The Athabaskans chased the Yupiks out of the area that is now Eklutna a few hundred years ago, so they went into Cupik land farther west. Yupiks and Cupiks know the difference, but nobody else can keep them straight.
Meanwhile JKT and Murkowski dress up like Natives to pander. I can't figure out why that is any different than wearing blackface, honestly. Both are whiter than a halibut belly.

I’ve been red pilled, black pilled, white pilled, clear pilled. All the pills.
I don’t even know which one this is, but it’s one of the strongest ones I’ve had in a long long time. The desperation in his voice. You can see the sight of his kids in his eyes when he says he’s supposed to be home with them. You can see the math he’s doing in his head as he calculates how much money he has left, and how much he needs for his mortgage, and when it’s due.
What the hell is the American dream anymore? Is this what it’s about? Is there anyone who would say this guy isn’t working his ass off? For what? So that 25% of his income can go to a government that wastes it on a bunch of shit he didn’t vote for? Subsidizing the food he stocks grocery stores with for people who don’t work a 1,000th of how hard he works to buy groceries with EBT cards that he pays for, which then drives up the cost of groceries for him and his family that he pays for out of his paycheck because he’s doing it the right way.
This entire system is shit. It’s shit. There is no nicer way to put it. It is dog. shit.

It really doesn't take much of a shift to produce that result. If say like 1-2% shifts in the wrong direction, they just start sweeping these races.
1994 wasn't supposed to happen either and it did.
It just feels like there is a huge amount of discontent and anger.
About the only silver lining I've seen is minority and young turnout seems low energy so far.

Theft is murder by inches. Every dollar you steal from someone else is you taking the portion of that persons life that they spent to earn that money.
And if your finances are already strained, even that little bit of extra stress might be too much.

Actually, for Senate races, it takes a whole lot more of a shift for that to happen.
Senate races drive up turnout to reflect overall PVI of the state.
Which is why no state has gone 10+ one party in the presidential to the other party winning the senate race in the next midterm since 2006 (2006 was a VERY bad GOP year, and Tester got in in Montana).
Didn't happen in 2010, 2014, or 2018, all wave years.
And that's what needs to happen to get KS, IA, OH, TX, and AK to flip.

> Athabaskans chased the Yupiks out of the area that is now Eklutna a few hundred years ago
Closer to a genocide than a chase, as I've heard it, and it happened long before Whitey came on the scene.
Then there was the charming habit the Tlingit had of enslaving other tribes. They used to run slave raids as far south as California. They even enslaved a few white sailors as I recall.
The last slaves freed in what is now the United States were the ones held by the Tlingit, who became free when the Alaska purchase from Russia became finalized on October 18, 1867, more than two years after the U.S. Civil War ended.
So put that in "Juneteenths" pipe and smoke it.

As for the house, dems only need a 3 pickup which doesn't feel out of reach for a midterm. I don't know how the re-districting war ultimately came out, but with 90%+ re-election rates, it probably won't be a big majority for the dems. But it will still get them committees and DSA shenanigans up the wazoo.

Prank the guy, then prank him again before he realizes what's going on but now he's actually $10 up, and you go on your merry prankster way while he's still wondering what the heck just happened and $10 richer. You get your fun. He's no worse off. Audience thinks it's great. Everyone's happy.
Don't just piss a guy off and say "LOL" and demand he just be cool with it.

The President of the European Central Bank suddenly announced she's stepping down. Watch the video, it's strange as hell. She's got a bandage across her face and the whole video has a hostage feeling to it. I have a feeling something bad happened behind the scenes and she had no choice in her resignation.

I watched the entire series of ST: NG when it was still on Netflix about 10 or 15 years ago, along with every other ST series except TOS, because I ran out of time and patience, but I'd already seen a lot of TOS before then.
The episodes were much better without commercials.
I enjoyed Picard most of the time, and TNG.
DS9 is still a pretty good ST show and probably the best for me.

Yeah but in their RCV primary, you have to get at least in the top four of vote getters to proceed to the general election. Last time I checked, TN was the easiest to get on the general presidential ballot required a small number of petition signers and very lenient standards. One election, I think they had over thirty or so candidates for President.
And remember, if you do this, you can have a great line on your resume--presidential candidate in 20xx.

Proton bills itself as a service for those who are interested in security and anonymity. Apparently the CEO doesn't have the mindset to maintain that illusion.

"Illinois Man" of No Apparent Political Leaning Sends Hoax Anthrax Letters to Four Members of Congress; Quickly Arrested by the FBI
At least on political affiliation the leftwing Democrat Propaganda Media is willing to report.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- A 37-year-old Illinois man is charged with sending threatening letters to members of Congress containing a white powder, including one with a note reading "HAH enjoy the gift," according to federal court records. The criminal complaint unsealed Monday claims Matthew Ungelsbee sent at least four plain white envelopes with a powdery substance to elected officials in Chicago. They were postmarked in Springfield, Illinois, on Oct. 19 and had Unglesbee's name handwritten in the return address section. Unglesbee, of Quincy in southwestern Illinois, is charged with mailing threatening communications and perpetrating a hoax... FBI agents interviewed Unglesbee at his home on Sunday and he told them all the letters contained salt, court records show. He claimed he'd sent the letters after hearing someone talk about similar mailings in the news earlier this month. Testing confirmed the white substance was not dangerous. The records did not identify the substance. A motive was unclear. But Unglesbee said he knew the congress members would "take it serious" because the powder might be perceived as anthrax, which he knew was dangerous and could prompt a response by hazmat teams, according to the complaint. "Unglesbee claimed he was joking but recognized the recipients would not know he was joking and could perceive it as a threat," the complaint stated. ... The investigation began after an anonymous tipster reported overhearing Unglesbee in a restaurant talking about mailing a suspicious substance to members of Congress. The tip was received Oct. 16, and the FBI tracked Ungelsbee down after the envelopes arrived at the congressional offices days later.The failure to state his political affiliation is interesting because you know if he were a Republican, it would be mentioned in the first paragraph. And the second paragraph. And the third paragraph. And then it would be missing from most of the fourth paragraph but make a last-minute 11th hour appearance in the last sentence. But there's no mention of any party registration. This guy says that your suspicions about that are completely accurate:

Registered Democrat Facing Federal Charges After Mailing Hoax White Powder to Multiple Members of Congress A 37-year-old Quincy, Illinois man identified as Matthew Unglesbee faces federal charges for allegedly mailing threatening letters containing a suspicious white substance to multiple Illinois members of Congress. Reports indicate that Unglesbee is a registered Democrat in Adams County, Illinois. The federal investigation initiated after the FBI received an anonymous tip from an individual who overheard Unglesbee discussing the letters at a restaurant. In videos published to social media prior to his arrest, Unglesbee spoke explicitly to fellow Democrats, saying, "Let's flip the House and the Senate Democrat" and urging people to vote to change policies. Despite these statements, his specific actions targeted Democratic congressional offices, creating severe disruptions that prompted emergency law enforcement and hazardous materials responses. Envelopes were delivered to the offices of Senator Tammy Duckworth, Representative Mike Quigley, Representative Jan Schakowsky, and Representative Brad Schneider. Subsequent laboratory analysis determined that the enclosed white powder consisted of harmless table salt, accompanied by handwritten notes reading "Haha" or "Ha enjoy the gift". During interviews with federal investigators, Unglesbee reportedly admitted to sending the items as a copycat action. He acknowledged that recipients would likely perceive the substance as dangerous materials like anthrax and experience concern for their personal safety. Court records show that Unglesbee has an extensive criminal background, including previous convictions for child sexual assault, impersonating law enforcement, and threatening a local police chief. He is currently listed as a registered sex offender.

Despite these statements, his specific actions targeted Democratic congressional offices, creating severe disruptions that prompted emergency law enforcement and hazardous materials responses. Envelopes were delivered to the offices of Senator Tammy Duckworth, Representative Mike Quigley, Representative Jan Schakowsky, and Representative Brad Schneider. Subsequent laboratory analysis determined that the enclosed white powder consisted of harmless table salt, accompanied by handwritten notes reading "Haha" or "Ha enjoy the gift". During interviews with federal investigators, Unglesbee reportedly admitted to sending the items as a copycat action. He acknowledged that recipients would likely perceive the substance as dangerous materials like anthrax and experience concern for their personal safety. Court records show that Unglesbee has an extensive criminal background, including previous convictions for child sexual assault, impersonating law enforcement, and threatening a local police chief. He is currently listed as a registered sex offender.— Matt Robinson (@mattrobinson) October 27, 2026
The Canton Police Department in Georgia said Tuesday that three people have been arrested in connection to a foiled plot to shoot up a school next year after the FBI reportedly spotted social media posts regarding the plot. The FBI notified Cherokee High School in Canton of the plot after seeing "threatening social media posts," and the school notified local police, according to the Associated Press. Cherokee was the alleged intended target of the shooting, which arrest warrants claimed was scheduled to take place next August. The arrest warrants identified two of the suspects as 17-year-old Shane Keith Taylor and 21-year-old Michael Brandon Terry, who allegedly reached an agreement with an unidentified juvenile suspect to provide weapons and had planned outfits and discussed buying body armor, video cameras and combat boots. Taylor is considered an adult under Georgia law. It is not clear how the suspects know each other, and the third suspect, who is still a minor, has not been identified. However, he was arrested on Oct. 20 and is tied to the town. Cherokee County School District Superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis reassured parents in a video message that local and federal law enforcement had successfully disrupted the plot, but acknowledged the terror of the planned attack.

This guy looks like a total idiot wanting to flip the House and Senate Democrat and then sending the threats to Dem Senators.
Now if he'd sent threats to GOP legislators and said he wanted to flip the House and Senate conservative, that would make sense.

Oh, so he IS a registered Democrat.

Matthew Uglybee is apparently retarded based on is lame video.
The newscaster said "it is very hard to identify who mailed the letter." No it's really not with all the cameras floating around and an ID quickly given from the box it was posted from. Which is why I don't post stuff like flaming dog turds to Congress (I also don't want to fool with flaming dog turds, even on a bad day).
I guess, in his fabulous thinking (say this like you need an adenoidectomy) he thought, "Duh, if I send this to Dims they will think a MAGA sent it!" Der! *cuts a squirrel killer*
I doubt it sent people flying to ED's like the real anthrax wahoo of 2001. The ED where I worked finally posted a sign at triage that said, "These are the symptoms of anthrax (listed them). You probably were never exposed, however, we will see you once you've been triaged." This is paraphrased, but I'm telling you that there were a LOT of people coming to the ED scared...and we were over 2hrs away. Probably a lot of gheys showed up thinking, "monkeypox" when it was a zit.
Granted it was 2001 and we were all waiting post 9/11 for the other shoe to fall.
Thanks for the video of the dunderhead, Ace.

"The arrest warrants identified two of the suspects as 17-year-old Shane Keith Taylor and 21-year-old Michael Brandon Terry, who allegedly reached an agreement with an unidentified juvenile suspect to provide weapons and had planned outfits and discussed buying body armor, video cameras and combat boots." -- Misty Severi, Just The News
Seriously? You don't need combat boots to shoot up a school; tennies would work just fine. Ditch the flip-flops, sure. But to say, "Oh no Chuck Taylors aren't good enough, I need combat boots for traction on.. uh.. pavement and manicured lawns," you're just trying to look cool. And if that's your real goal, you could just get the boots and not shoot anyone; it's perfectly allowed.

During interviews with federal investigators, Unglesbee reportedly admitted to sending the items as a copycat action. He acknowledged that recipients would likely perceive the substance as dangerous materials like anthrax and experience concern for their personal safety. Court records show that Unglesbee has an extensive criminal background, including previous convictions for child sexual assault, impersonating law enforcement, and threatening a local police chief. He is currently listed as a registered sex offender.

He may or may not be retarded.
Until about 10 years ago, I never encountered adult rhotacism (baby talk) in people of otherwise normal intelligence. Since that time, I started seeing it both on the internet, and with young adults and teenagers in meatspace.
Speech therapists notice it too, and treat it as some big mystery. I think it's obviously of a piece with the general loss of ability in younger people to hold normal conversations, maintain eye contact, follow nonverbal social cues, and so forth - they're regressing in communication skills because of the phones.

Second, no matter how high taxes were or old people getting a pension, our public schools and universities went full leftwing starting in the 90s after the fall of the Soviet Union, Bill Ayers, among hundreds of thousands of other ‘educators’ across the world, made it their missions to turn Millennials, and every generation afterwards, into full-fledged socialists from kindergarten on up.
And it worked brilliantly.
Nobody was getting participation trophies in the 1960s.
The Top Tax Rate was 91% in 1963.
Some of you ... yeah, Boomers ... absolutely kill me.

The only thing she ever did that entertained me was on The Tonight Show where she was being interviewed by Jay Leno and he asked her what she meant by "Rita Hayward gave good face."
"Well, it's not like giving good head or anything....."
Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at October 29, 2026 02:54 PM
The reason she was popular - for some version of popular - was because she just said the obvious.
Mel Brooks did. More shocking, really. And the friggin' 80s and 90s went on a mini-version of now and tried to stop that. PMRC and all that.
Madonna got credit for at least saying, bluntly, what we were all thinking.
Its really dumb. The generation that spent it's entire youth high and screwing suddenly became prudes as soon as they found themselves in charge.

🚨BREAKING: President Trump PARDONED Bevelyn Williams, the pro-life advocate sentenced to 41 months in federal prison for her actions outside a Manhattan abortion clinic. Her conviction under the FACE Act came from preaching, praying on the sidewalk, and blocking access to the entrance during a protest in which a staff member claimed a hand injury.
Williams had served only a few months of that sentence when the pardon was issued. The clemency also freed 22 other activists convicted under the same law for similar protests at abortion clinics — cases where prayer and direct efforts to prevent abortions were treated as federal crimes punishable by years in prison, while attacks on pregnancy resource centers went largely unprosecuted.
The pardon makes clear that defending the unborn should not be a jailable offense. Religious expression and peaceful opposition to abortion should be protected, not singled out for federal prosecution.

Due to Fabianism it has slowly crept into every government on the planet over that time.
Were the 1960s as socialist as the 1860s?
In Europe maybe, but mot in the USA.
To say that there were as many socialists in the United States in the 1960s as the 2020s is idiocy, and the reason we have so many more socialists today is because, once again, by the 1990s the educators of America let the freak flag fly and turned the brainwashing machine up to 11.
The result is the DSA doing a hostile takeover of the Democrat party, something they tried and failed to do in the 1960s - 1970s because only the most radical people in the most radical cities would vote for a socialist in a primary.

Madison Cornbread Is the Latest Beneficiary of Corrupt DC Democrat Jury Nullification
Democrats have been rigging juries for decades, refusing to convict any Democrat politicos and throwing the absolute book out of any poor Republicans caught in James Comey's dragnet.
Madison Cornbread is the latest Democrat partisan let off the hook by No One Is Above the Law DC juries:The Washington Post
@washingtonpost Breaking news: A grand jury rejected the DOJ's attempt to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for the account she gave lawmakers of President Trump's actions during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to people familiar with the matter.
Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew 18h This is why they took the case with the 2 FBI Agents before a Magistrate judge yesterday. The DC Grand Juries are going to nullify any noteworthy case they hear.
Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke Oct 28 One of the most important priorities of the past two years should have been to break Washington DC's monopoly over the adjudication of virtually anything that can be connected to the capital, however remotely. The system is totally dysfunctional and fundamentally unfair, whereby anyone who is not a Democrat has no chance of receiving a fair hearing, let alone justice, while Democrats themselves are completely shielded from accountability. That was painfully clear during Trump's first term, became even more glaring with the January 6 prosecutions, and was illustrated yet again by travesties such as the grotesque $1 million judgment against Mark Steyn for criticizing climate change "research." The constitutional promise of a fair trial and jury of one's peers is completely meaningless in DC for anyone who is not on the far left. None of this is new. Many of us have been warning about this problem for years and proposing various ways to address it. Yet, predictably, absolutely nothing has been done, and nothing will be done.
Skeptical StoicThe DSA is hosting "trainings" where they teach their communist insurrectionists to vote against the clear weight of evidence in favor of the left and always against the right.
@StoicSkeptic
In case you want to know how bad things really are... For the last several years, left-wing activist groups have hosted information and training sessions for prospective jurors in DC. This is part of an organized effort to nullify the DC jury pool in order to give Democrats and their allies in DC de facto immunity for politically motivated crimes while subjecting anyone they suspect of being a political opponent to a "guilty until proven innocent" standard. It's a complete perversion and total inversion of what the justice system in this country is supposed to be, but Democrats care more about protecting Democrats and hurting Republicans than they care about the justice system, let alone the country. No doubt Democrats and the legacy media (but I repeat myself) would be wailing like banshees on crystal meth if the situation were reversed.
The U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee announced it is investigating "left-wing activist groups in the District of Columbia" who allegedly provide jury nullification initiatives to teach potential jurors how to influence the outcomes of criminal cases and acquit criminals.But not a single Republican will propose a law granting prosecutors or defendants the right to change venues in politically-sensitive cases in venues where the last election went by more than 58% (say) for one party. Republican corporate clockpunchers continue living in fantasy, high on nostalgia for a country that stopped existing by 2008. Now they're escalating, preparing How To Guides for jury corruption.
"Free DC, in coordination with Harriet's Wildest Dreams, has held jury nullification training sessions to instruct potential jurors in how to navigate juror vetting and subvert lawful prosecutions in the District of Columbia," wrote House Oversight Chairman James Comer. "Leaders at these public sessions brazenly declared radical intentions. At an August 12 training, Qiana Johnson, who serves on the Board of Harriet's Wildest Dreams and is a 'conductor of legal defense' for the organization, told attendees, '[y]ou have this superpower, and that superpower is you are able to nullify that goddamn jury. In conducting these trainings, your organization is blatantly facilitating the violation of the constitutional right to an impartial jury and undermining the rule of law in the District."
In a letter to Free DC Executive Director Keya Chatterjee and Harriet's Wildest Dreams Board Member and Former Co-Conductor Qiana Johnson, Comer raised concerns that "they are training activists to conceal their biases during jury selection, infiltrate juries, and acquit criminals based on political agendas rather than the law and evidence. Chairman Comer is requesting all documents and communications related to their jury nullification training sessions, coordination with outside partners, and funding."
The Oversight Committee added in a new release that, "these sessions instructed activists to falsely present themselves as unbiased and conceal their ties to prison abolitionist groups during jury selection. Free DC has also publicly touted its juror training efforts as a source of power to halt prosecutions. Free DC is fiscally sponsored by organizations financed by left-wing dark money groups that also support other entities conducting jury nullification workshops." "It is clear that the position of Free DC and Harriet's Wildest Dreams is that potential jurors should not make decisions impartially based on applying the law as instructed to the facts presented before them in the case, but based on their subjective, personal beliefs and activist agendas."
The plan reaches into GRAND JURIES.
It describes educating community members to: “reject improper prosecutions when serving on grand juries” For investigations used to pressure unlawful compliance, it prescribes immediate framing as intimidation aimed at overturning an election.— Natalie Winters (@nataliegwinters) October 28, 2026

>>>Honestly asking, but what exactly do you do here? They are trying to prosecute, but unless we change who lives in DC, seems a hard problem to solve. I literally just said: People are allowed to ask for changes of venues if the local juries can be shown to be overly prejudiced against the defenders. Trials for notorious murderers are routinely held a few counties away from the scenes of the crimes for this reason. What I am proposing is a rule that recognizes, in cases involving political figures, that having a jury pool that is 58% or more tilted to one party counts as "overly prejudiced" and removal to a more balanced venue is authorized.

All the people that Trump is running around boosting could feel that Trump has to do this to receive slightly less resistance in Congress.
They could actually feel they owe him nothing.

Yup, this has gotten to be a structural flaw. Democrat politicians and officials operating in DC are literally immune from prosecution. Is there any way to remedy this? I don't know the legal or constitutional foundation for prosecuting a federal crime in the state or district where it was committed.

Democrats and their co conspirators know that undermining the judicial system is key to gaining a maintaining power. Forever. Look at every corrupt country, and most in Latin America that have escaped the communist left. In almost every case they corrupted the judiciary.
The judiciary is the weak link in our republic. I do t know how many times those alleged and under oath pledging to protect it will watch the judiciary destroy it without any attempt to intervene. There is a point at which people sense it is slipping away and take matters into their own hands. That’s just history.

I literally just said: People are allowed to ask for changes of venues if the local juries can be shown to be overly prejudiced against the defenders. Trials for notorious murderers are routinely held a few counties away from the scenes of the crimes for this reason.
What I am proposing is a rule that recognizes, in cases involving political figures, that having a jury pool that is 58% or more tilted to one party counts as "overly prejudiced" and removal to a more balanced venue is authorized.

I suspect the DC juror problem is actually deeper and more insidious than the simple fact that DC is deep deep blue.
Even if you're pulling from a deep blue jurisdiction, the odds are you'll get at least some jurors who aren't blue or who at least will vote fairly.
I think what is really going on is juror manipulation so that only the most viciously partisan blue-fuck fuckers get seated on these GJs.
Just like every single politically-charged case somehow always randomly ends up with the same hard-left partisan judge, I'll bet that the juror selection system is just as corrupt.
Count on it.

Singapore did away with jury trials because none of the minority groups would convict someone from "their" side.
it may be that jury trials must turn into merely a question of whether the facts are correct and founded, and if the logic is reasonable, not on guilt.
The one trial I had to sit through was really long on pathos, involving a serial wife beater who's victims were doing meth along with the defendant, and not so long on actual evidence which both parties actively participated in destroying.

What I am proposing is a rule that recognizes, in cases involving political figures, that having a jury pool that is 58% or more tilted to one party counts as "overly prejudiced" and removal to a more balanced venue is authorized.

Come to think of it, yes, prosecutors could have been asking to transfer the venue all this time? Probably very hard to get on the basis that "based on prior verdicts, the jurors in this town clearly are biased hacks," so the political affiliation rule might work. How do you do it? Voter registration records?

I mean, Sting wrote all the songs and had a pretty successful solo career.
I would say Andi Summers was more essential than Stewart Copeland to the overall sound of The Police.
Copeland was a great drummer though but you could have gotten any number of drummers to fill in for him.

You could make a rule just for D.C., which after all is unique, that either the defense or the prosecution can have proceedings removed to the jurisdiction of the defendant's residence. This cannot possibly violate their right to a jury of their peers, even for Democrats that might prefer a jury of rabid partisans.

DC should have to draw for grand juries from across the country. Housing, travel and per diem paid for by whoever is bringing the case until resolution.

You have to understand what the enemies of our republic want more than anything is chaos. They want division. They want intolerance and violence. That all leads to an inevitable breakdown in society that allows them to seize power by any means necessary.
Understand this basic fact, and everything makes sense.
Do not let division take root in your heart. Fight the good fight only when the need arises, and when necessary. “Love your neighbor as yourself”.

Seems like the obvious reaction would be to charge each offense individually, let the DC Grand Jury waste time nullifying that charge, then file another charge for an offense that happened at the same time. Rinse and repeat.
Gum up the works with a bunch of separate charges, rather than trying to get indictments all at once.

But simply put, Ace's solution does not work. US Constitution trumps statutes.
Amendment VI
In all criminal prosecutions, . . ., by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, . . .
---
This was put into the Bill of Rights due to the British taking Americans beyond the colonies to either Halifax for trial or even to London to prevent pro Americans in the colonies from being able to acquit on the jury.
Easiest way by statute is to abolish DC or restrict it just to the Mall and Capitol so that most crimes by bureaucrats, etc. would be tried elsewhere. Cede the rest of it to Maryland.
Although, I suppose you could create a new capital district in some other place and then return the lands to Maryland of the existing DC. Keep the old buildings as a federal national historic monuments with ceremonial meetings only like Independence Hall.

Copeland was a great drummer though but you could have gotten any number of drummers to fill in for him.

There was a Neil Peart tribute gathering not long ago where various drummers got together and attempted some Peart drumming.
All involved said that the best of all of them attempting was Copeland.

Young men becoming religious has been a trend for like 2-3 years now. JD Vance mentioned his neighbors were shocked when their son went to college and returned a baptized Catholic. I imagine God looks pretty good when you're on campus with today's 65/35 ratio of Lucy Craigs to dudes.

Agree. Frankly I prefer Congress to be distributed back to their home states or at least the House.
But an easy fix for Congress on committee hearings with witnesses that tell Democrat lies is to hold the committee meetings out of DC. Well within the rules and has been done on occasion already. Having committee fact finding committees meeting outside the Beltway is a lot more 'inclusive' than having the same tired interest group reps spout off canned talking points.
In a government of 300 million plus, we have to reduce the distance (and thus insulation) between our decision makers and common citizens.

Okay, that's where I was asking about constitutional restrictions.
So TJM suggests we move a few departments. I suggest sending DOJ to Florida.

It is typically viewed as a defendant's right under the Sixth, not a government power (governments cannot have 'rights' technically). A few obiter dicta decisions resting on something else allow government to have a 'fair trial' guarantee but not on change of venue.

I literally just said: People are allowed to ask for changes of venues if the local juries can be shown to be overly prejudiced against the defenders. Trials for notorious murderers are routinely held a few counties away from the scenes of the crimes for this reason.
________
Note that those kind of rules are designed to favor the defendant, so he or she gets a fair trial.
The history of how criminal law got written is based on the idea that defendants should be protected from bias and hang-em-high juries.
It wasn't contemplated that one day juries would be so biased against the prosecution that it would be the prosecutor who wants to change venue.
But that day is here.

This was put into the Bill of Rights due to the British taking Americans beyond the colonies to either Halifax for trial or even to London to prevent pro Americans in the colonies from being able to acquit on the jury.

Bill of Rights gives defendants the power to challenge venue, not government. The real problem is that the Democrats have been allowed to create a rotten borough in DC of judges. The response of the GOP should be create a bunch of new judges and pack the court there. Or create a National Court of Appeals dealing with conflicts between the circuits or to do cert.
Abolishing DC as a federal district and returning the land to Maryland would be another option--no more Dem ran DC Circuit and no potential to create a new Democrat state with two senators.
Fedgov already gave back the Virginia portion of DC in the 1840's.

I think such grand jurors and jurors are asking for violence to be directed at them and their families. Violence is what happens when courts don't work.
That's not a wish. It's just predictable.
If the government wants this to stop, prosecute (and persecute) the training organizations and their personnel. Get creative.

Yep. I think Scotus blew that one myself. And that is because Buckley v. Valeo which Citizens United did not overrule, is bad law equating money with speech. So Buckley created this wonky balancing test that allowed money given to politicians was protected by the 1st Amendment but yet could be regulated because it had the option to corrupt. That meant that wealthy individuals could spend all they wanted (or borrow to be paid by after winning) but others were bound to campaign limits on contributions. The justification is that wealthy individuals could not be corrupted by contributing to themselves and thus their First Amendment rights to speech would be quelled.

MAGA was the last, best hope for a genuine grassroots political movement to form a third party and break the grip of these DC bastards on the rest of us. But, the clock has run on out on MAGA. It has nowhere to go from here.
Now, this kind of thing is what we're going to get as long as we're in this ridiculous federation. It's DC's plaything and we're stuck with it. 350 million people at the mercy of a handful of buttfucking Communist elites.
So I've moved on to the obvious next (last) play: secessionism.
Given that I want to carry through an unconstitutional State usurpation of federal power, I think that NPV compact is the template.
Set an arbitrary number of States - I think 13 is a good number, as a nod to our amazing forebears. Once 13 States pass it, it triggers. In the meantime, while waiting for the laggards, signatories focus their resources on maximizing the size and power of their National Guards, and reforming infrastructure in preparation for border closure.
By the time it happens, the federal government will be in deep shit without *any* material preparation on the part of the rebellious States, but that's no excuse for sitting around.

Trump had actively blocked her from joining the team in Palm Beach but she remained for nine additional weeks on GSA's WH transition payrolls working in VA.
Later, U.S. taxpayers funded Cassidy Hutchinson’s private security detail for approximately six months, spanning from immediately after her public testimony in late June 2022 until the House January 6th Committee officially disbanded at the end of December 2022.
She's quite the connection for the aray of investigations & punishments.

From above, "A grand jury rejected the DOJ's attempt to indict former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson for the account she gave lawmakers of President Trump's actions during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol..."
Which account?
Vice Chair Liz Cheney was her primary institutional champion. Critics argue that Cheney used the committee's official congressional budget to insulate and shield Hutchinson, creating a protective environment where her late-stage, uncorroborated "recollections" could be safely added into the record without immediate pushback from other White House staff.
In the end, proving Hutchinson deliberately fabricated her testimony, rather than just misremembering secondhand details, carried too high a legal burden for an indictment, so they say.

NYT: An Obama-Era Investigation Concluded That Ilhan Nur Said Elmi Entered Into a "Sham Marriage" With Her Likely Brother (But Dropped the Investigation, Of Course)
This is all just a big Right Wing Conspiracy Theory and RUSSIAN Disinformation Campaign, H8rz.
"Some evidence" = "literally all of the evidence so we dropped it like a hot potato so we could later say 'we reached no firm conclusions'"
Several current and former law enforcement officials said an Obama-era investigation found some evidence that Ms. Omar had entered into a sham marriage with a man suspected of being her brother. The federal investigation of Representative Ilhan Omar is focused in part on whether she entered into a sham marriage in 2009 to help a man suspected of being her brother obtain a green card, according to current and former officials familiar with the matter. The F.B.I. and Department of Homeland Security investigated the marriage in summer 2016, during the Obama administration, and found some evidence that it was fraudulent, current and former officials said.
Speculation that Ms. Omar committed marriage fraud with a brother has shadowed the Minnesota Democrat's political career for more than a decade and President Trump repeated the accusation last week. She has long called it a right-wing conspiracy theory that federal officials debunked during her first race for elected office in 2016. But that case stalled chiefly because prosecutors concluded that the potential crime, a felony, fell outside a five-year statute of limitations, according to the current and former officials, most of whose law enforcement careers spanned several presidential administrations.When Ilhan Nur Said Elmi answered the question "did you marry your brother?" with the answer "not to my knowledge," it immediately struck me that she might have been counseled to avoid directly lying, because a lie could be said to be a continuation of the original conspiracy which would therefore extend the statute of limitations clock. I didn't mention it because it seemed too speculative. But given that Ilhan Nur Said Elmi must have known she was investigated by Obama's DHS and FBI, and given that she was surely warned by Obama that she could face potential consequences, maybe it's not such a big speculation to say she's avoiding saying things that could be argued to re-start the statute of limitations clock.
Now the Trump administration, whose top leaders have long reviled Ms. Omar, has revived the scrutiny as one element of a sprawling investigation into the Omar family's journey to the United States as refugees from war-torn Somalia. At issue is her marriage in 2009, when she was already a U.S. citizen, to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, a British citizen whom she divorced in 2017.See, it's not that No One Is Above the Law or that cheaters and immigration fraudsters should face justice -- no, it's all about Trump "reviling" this poor immigrant stronk empowered black Muslim woman and daughter of a schoolteacher. Be better, Trump. #BeBetter. Democrats are "distancing themselves" from this smelly pirate hooker.
Dozens of House Democrats are keeping their distance from Rep. Ilhan Omar as the Minnesota "Squad" rep faces a federal investigation -- even as party leaders rally behind her and demand that the Trump administration back off. A letter led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and signed by 175 House Democrats accused the Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security of weaponizing law enforcement against Omar, whose Washington DC home was searched by federal agents earlier this month. Around 40 Democrats declined to sign the letter from the 214-member caucus.Trump was seeking re-election as the real president of the United States and Democrats charged him with four absurd non-crimes and arrested him. I thought No One Is Above the Law. No? Was I misinformed?
"Congresswoman Omar is seeking reelection in Minnesota's 5th congressional district in just one week. News of the search warrant, whether properly predicated or not, could affect voters' decisions, which is exactly why federal law enforcement should not engage in such conduct when voters are casting their ballots. This type of interference strips Minnesotans of their right to a free and fair election guaranteed to them under the Constitution," the letter states.
However, a number of House Democrats declined to sign the letter, a notable show of distance from Omar, who has frequently drawn controversy over her outspoken criticism of Israel and other positions on foreign policy. Among the lawmakers who didn't sign were Reps. Tom Suozzi, Laura Gillen and Josh Gottheimer, who all represent a district in either New York or New Jersey, where political calculations could make embracing Omar a liability. Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, also chose not to sign the letter even though current Democratic leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) did. Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, a Washington Democrat who represents a competitive district, also was not on the letter. Their absences suggest that while many Democrats are willing to defend Omar against what they characterize as a "politically motivated investigation," others may be wary of tying themselves to the progressive just days before Election Day.
Glenn Beck
@glennbeck Oct 27 We received an HSI memo from inside the administration revealing federal agents spent 8 months building a case on Ilhan "Omar" before ever knocking on her door. The leaked document requests her complete, unredacted passport history, targets potential federal violations for false passport statements and false claims of U.S. citizenship, and explicitly raises the prospect of civil denaturalization! That paper trail explains why two dozen federal agents walked out of her home with her phone, files, and her DNA, and why those grand jury subpoenas went out to her family. Now, is she going to be convicted, stripped of her citizenship, and deported? Proving this in a courtroom is still a major hill to climb. But if federal law enforcement actually has the receipts to back this memo up... OHHHHH BOY.

>>>An Obama-Era Investigation Concluded That Ilhan Nur Said Elmi Entered Into a "Sham Marriage" With Her Likely Brother (But Dropped the Investigation, Of Course)
This all goes to the notion that, under democrats, the DOJ had too sole purposes, while they became a joke about true known wolf threats.
First, it was weaponized against conservatives, Tea Partiers, J6ers, etc.
Second, and probably primarily, it served as a Kompromat generator for its masters.

I have a SPARE square.
By the way, has anyone considered that they dropped the investigation, but used the information to get Ilhan Nur Said Elmi to dance like a puppet?
I don't know. Maybe setting up a money laundering operation through a fake winery, to clean fraud funds that were orchestrated through her state's benefits, and siphoning a portion back to the DNC and various other parties sypathetic to Obama's world stance. While simultaneously setting up a facet of Congress to push Socialist mantra.

The people repeatedly saying "I researched this and while there's no evidence of crime or wrongdoing, the things I have read uncritically from the fever pits of the internet make me think its FISHY" are just running the Pizzagate / Long Form Birth Certificate con again.
1. It is not a federal crime to marry your subling, even if he is, which I doubt.
2. The guy is not a US citizen, so claiming she married him to get him citizenship is absurd.
Call me when we prosecute Melania and Musk’s immigration fraud. 🥱
Careful! My account was banned for a week for Hate because I called a vulnerable trillionaire PedoNazi an illegal immigrant.
Conservatives have been crying about this for damn near 10 years and have failed to produce a shred of evidence. Trust me, if they had it we’d have heard about it by now!
My money is they lied on the warrant which is why they are fighting to keep it sealed and are using this as an opportunity to smear dems going into the midterms. Huge push in Minnesota is Somali fraud and nearly every right wing media outlet is hammering the constituents nonstop with that narrative and of course Omar's investigation.

Feminists have always been weird about this - remember they called Roy Moore a pedo for marrying a 24 year old when he was in his late 30s.
The left broadly has started calling everyone they don't like a pedo though because they believe the Epstein stuff hurt them in 2024. That's the simple reason. None of them actually believe it and if you pushed them on "Should any homosexual or trans adult be prosecuted for grooming a child" their answer would be hell no, that's a perfectly ok thing for an LGBTQ person to do

Inversion is a thing. They themselves support pedoes and not sees but the left know the normies hate it. So they think calling everyone on the Right as pedoes and not sees will cause the Normies to turn on them. Same as their widespread use of racists, White Supremacists, etc.
And on social media, easy for bots and the simple minded to chant the tagline.

For those who don't know, Roblox is a very popular game environment where people can create their own worlds and mini-games. It's poorly regulated and it's very popular with young kids with over 120 million active daily users.
Roblox has had a seedy pedo underbelly for a long time, but it's hidden enough and small enough that many parents either don't know it's there or think it won't affect their kid.
My son has never been allowed to be on Roblox. His peers were all on it and he asked to play many times. Fortunately his peers have moved on to other games and he doesn't ask anymore.

I've even seen them call him an "incel".
Dude has *at least* 14 children by a long succession of extremely hot (if sometimes a little crazy) women..
But sure, "incel".
Me, I tap out any time someone starts jabbering about the "Epstein files".
Dopey Joe and the Ho had four full years to "release the Epstein files", but they didn't. Not even when the Ho was in a close election battle with Trump.

I read somewhere that Ilhan's sister Sahra came up with the idea for the siblings to get married. I wonder if that's why she was also subpoenaed and her phone confiscated. On top of the accusations of being involved in the FOF fraud.

If that sister was not also investigated earlier, then the conspiracy against her is still available, which could, I suppose, re-implicate the Smelly Pirate Hooker in a conspiracy indictment.

OT- from Rufo in City Journal. Can't afford $5 lettuce but can afford a manicure???
-----------------
"Salmon, beef, organic produce, and Amy’s Kitchen meals: these are just some of the luxury foods that California welfare recipients can get delivered to their homes each week, for free.
Californians like TikTok user “Lupita” are taking full advantage. Earlier this year, she posted a video of herself opening a taxpayer-funded grocery box, apologizing to her manicurist as she unboxed it by hand. Inside, she found carrots, heads of broccoli, apples, oranges, celery, rice, lettuce, and more.
“Yesterday, I was like, ‘I need some lettuce,’ but the lettuce was like five dollars,” she said. “And look at this. Fresh lettuce! Thank you, God.”

They're persistent, I'll give them that. Anyone who is stupid enough to think the Democrats will increase affordability is too stupid to vote.
THEY’RE FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND THEY’RE HERE TO HELP: ‘Affordability’ Is A Trojan Horse For Democrats To Bring Back The Biden Years.
By “restore money that was improperly cut,” the Times means that Democrats will refuse to pass budget bills that don’t include funding for all the multibillion-dollar scam projects that help fund their cause, like USAID and every anti-American NGO. When they say “scientific research and disease prevention,” that’s what they’re referring to.

"You won't need to save for retirement. If any of the things that we've said are true, saving for retirement will be irrelevant."
Sorry, no. I'm not taking this advice.

Illhan simply committed the same sort of immigration fraud that every previous administration, D and R alike, have ignored and/or winked at.
She made the mistake of getting herself into politics and then Congress. Actually, it only became a mistake under Trump, because he's been the only one enforcing the law, the law which is enormously popular among the hoi polloi if not the politicians.

The only reason Roblox """tries""" to stop groomers now is that Chris Hansen publicly dragged their lousy asses for it in a book, and then a bunch of State AGs sued them.
Up to that point, they dug in their heels and refused to budge on any kind of groomer-controls.

That's when Schlep did a video which he introduced "I take a seat with Chris Hansen", mega-lolz. And when Louisiana's AG sent out legal letters to Roblox.

62 The left broadly has started calling everyone they don't like a pedo though because they believe the Epstein stuff hurt them in 2024. That's the simple reason.

It's going. We still have a bit to go....and fitting 26 years into a singlewide trailer (temporarily, we pray) is proving quite the mission.
We close on Tuesday, so we are getting low on time. It's supposed to rain this weekend, so trailering stuff will have to wait a bit........
I'm pretty tired......First Lady's knee isn't holding up very well and Sponge Bro (from anotha' mutha') has been a Godsend for most of it.

While Jimmuh Peanut was the Worst President Ever, right up until Jugears took office, I always did find his brother Billy amusing.
Someone asked if he'd be part of his brother's administration, should he win. "Yeah, I told him I want to be in charge of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms".

My old friend has money, and I'd guess her current husband does as well. She doesn't post much political stuff though. Beck does seem to offer some insight, like his long lists of Soros connections.

Too many of these activists nowadays for even billionaires to support now that AID is shut down. Billionaires operate using other people's money, not their own. Almost always, (Trump is a notable exception), they are cheapskates.
Regarding Soros, I always thought of him more an someone willing to be an open funding bundler to the left, useful to the CIA and other intel agencies for regime change as needed so funded, and using his civic foundations and pull to cause market fluctuations to make himself richer.
Dude believed in no one but himself--that is how he could seamlessly move from working for Not Sees, being a good little boy to get a visa from Hungary from the Commies which did not hand those out lightly, and so on. Now his mind has gone and he is rotting in human form in a mansion room waiting for death to release him.

New cell phone rule (allowing jamming) is likely causing huge "instability" in the prison population that has cell phones (the gangs). When I was on the Board of Corrections from 2009-2012, we wanted jamming badly but FCC would not oblige. That rule is now done, decades after we needed it, but it is likely in part why they are on lockdown."

The Morning Rant
Things are changing enough that CNN noted a drastic falloff of Jewish support for Democrats on the generic ballot in New York. Not that surprising since the New York Jewish vote tends to be some of the most traditional in the country. But the generic ballot usually trended Democrat because Democratic congressional candidates would try to appeal to Jews. We're now in the era of the actively antisemitic congressional candidate like Dariazila Avila Chevalier, who celebrated the Oct 7 attacks, Claire Valdez and their gruesome toady, Brad Lander. No surprise that Jewish support for the generic ballot is crashing. But a McLaughlin poll claims that overall Jewish support has flipped on the generic ballot.
I find it almost incomprehensible that any Jew, no matter how assimilated and contemptuous of his ancestral religion and culture would vote for those who support the destruction of the Jewish people. Are they finally waking up? Here's some of the data from the McLaughlin poll:
Among the voters in our survey:
- Protestants, who account for 38% of likely voters, favor Republicans for Congress by 51% to 43%, an 8-point advantage.
- Catholics, representing 24% of likely voters, favor Republicans by just 48% to 46%, a narrow 2-point margin.
- Evangelical Christians, who make up 29% of likely voters and overlap with other Christian categories, support Republicans by 56% to 37%, a strong 19-point advantage.
- Jewish voters, representing 4% of likely voters, favor Republicans by a striking 64% to 33%, a potential major shift from historical voting patterns.
Here is FrontPageMag again...
Do I buy that shift? I think the number of Jewish voters polled is too small to put too much weight on it. But the level of everyday antisemitism that has been normalized among leftists is mind-blowing. You don’t have to go far to see Goebbels degree rhetoric. It’s leaking into not just the internet, but social circles and everyday interactions. (This isn’t just limited to leftists, but Jews live in liberal areas and encounter liberals more than anyone else.) I think that there is a growing sea change. I suspect it’s not quite as extreme.
Yes, it is a small poll that is only a snapshot, and very possibly not indicative of a lasting trend, but it is certainly interesting. For a lasting shift to occur among American Jews, the inertia of 110 years of voting for leftist policies and candidates, popularly known as Democrats, would have to change. Rabid, open, obvious Jew-hatred might be the force that pushes American Jews to a more sane approach to their political support. It has been self-destructive for a century, and ignorant of reality; perhaps open discussion among the darlings of the left of American Judaism as intrinsically evil, and Israel as a illegitimate and dangerous country is finally being heard. Color me skeptical (you would understand if you met some of my relatives!), but even a small shift is important. [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter]. And if you folks who are on X/Twitter would follow me it would be much appreciated!

It's possible that the obvious homosexuals (James Martin, SJ) and various other limpwrists in the Church hierarchy is making the Church's appeal more selective. Talk about an institution in need of an enema.

That's theologically impossible. Yeah I know I know..."No true Scottsman" fallacy. But nevertheless, one can't be "Catholic" and support demonic entities running on a platform of abortion-right-up-to-and-including-birth and then go participate in communion afterwards. I get that the current fake pope isn't going to call them out for it, but I don't understand why more of the local priests aren't willing to take a stand.

"I find it almost incomprehensible that any Jew, no matter how assimilated and contemptuous of his ancestral religion and culture would vote for those who support the destruction of the Jewish people. Are they finally waking up?"
Short answer: I think so, yes. It would be interesting to see this broken down by age. I suspect the biggest shift to the right -- or, more accurately, away from the left -- among Jews this election cycle is younger Jews.
Why younger? Because they've seen first-hand the viciousness and destruction the left has for Israel and Jews in general. And unlike older Jews, the younger ones don't have mostly obsolete fears of the KKK, Nazis, and the classic anti-semites.
The older Jews just can't seem to shake these old fears, and have a harder time seeing the real threat: their fellow Democraps. The call is coming from inside the house.

These ethnic (and religious) polls are...issue filled.
Never mind the fact that progressives are more likely to actually go through the polling process which creates response bias issues, you have to get a lot of Catholics to get a representative sample. Which is difficult and expensive to do.
They're always...suspect.
I take the exit polling from 2024 with less of a grain of salt than any other polling in this area, and exit polls have their own issues.
So, I doubt the Catholic vote has shifted about 10 points to the left in the last 2 years.

When so-called Jews reject their religion, do not follow its precepts, are openly antagonistic to those who follow the Torah, we call them...Jews? Why?
Because "Jew" can be ethnic, cultural a/o religious. That Venn does have overlap but is not a circle.
Trump's daughter: a proselyte, not ethnic or cultural — a religious Jew.
Bernie Sanders: ethnic and to a much lesser extent cultural Jew, not religious.
The problem is cultural, not religious. The cultural part provides a Diaspora mindset and the concept of as a Chosen Race, according to Dennis Prager, has a duty to guide everyone else to fall in line with their understanding of how the world ought to be.
Cultural + Religious gives us the so-called Judeo-Christian ethic for as much as Free Will is compatible with Divine Providence. The duty to guide others into a monotheistic drive for righteousness is ideal for the US, anything less is Anti-American and is completely incompatible with a Western 18th Century Christian worldview.

Statistically speaking, the Jewish vote is insignificant, representing a little over 2pct of the electorate.
What is significant is how wealthy Ideological driven Jews allocate their resources politically.
If Mark Zuckerberg is not throwing around Zuckerbucks that's more significant.
Groups will vote how groups will vote, and no matter how much you believe they are voting against their self interest, they don't believe that, and there is nothing you can do about that.

My take:
Catholicism can be considered a "blue collar" congregation. Traditionally Democratic. Generally speaking, the ones who get out and vote are the older people - many who still subscribe to the Democratic Party they grew up with and continue to vote that way. Even when the Democratic Party has morphed into the DSA.

Being Jewish is both religious and racial; that is something that may be unique to being a Jew.
Hitler didn't go after Jews because of religious hatred, but rather racial hatred.
The difference today is that the hatred of Jews by the Left is of the Notsee and Islamist bent, hatred of all Jews regardless of faith, which may be the impetus for changing voting patterns.

I'm shocked if that poll is accurate...
BUT, the fiancé of the losing Democrat candidate for Senate (she and he are both Jews) has publicly stated he's voting for the Republican.
If an actual, politically active Jew is being that vocal, I think it's likely that poll is true.

I wish we had SC judges as bitterly ideologically partisan as the two commie DEI retards.
Democraps understand this is a blood sport. GOP does not (outside of a few people like Trump). Is that changing? Maybe. I sure hope so.

Catholicism can be considered a "blue collar" congregation. Traditionally Democratic. Generally speaking, the ones who get out and vote are the older people - many who still subscribe to the Democratic Party they grew up with and continue to vote that way. Even when the Democratic Party has morphed into the DSA.

That's theologically impossible.
Depends on the theology.
Generally Speaking Roman Catholicism leans towards salvation through the Church. Due to its corporate nature, and the Second Chances concept of Purgatory, a Mob Fixer can perform a hit on the way to Mass and that is acceptable. So aborting children has its place in Rome.
This is in contrast to Confessional Christianity with a foundation within the Doctrines of Grace that, because of spiritual regeneration and sanctification would make it inconceivable for the Elect in Christ to vote for a pro-abortion candidate. The renewed mind finds that sin to be a characteristic of the unregenerated

I agree with TJM,
On any survey of 'values', there is an obvious selection bias problem first---poll respondents have become a special class of their own while non respondents do not follow the same distribution of responses.
So any 'poll' is missing data and the missing data is not 'random' which makes any claims that a poll percentage is a true representation of the whole population, survey-able and nonsurvey-able.
Within those willing to be polled, you then have the problem of socially acceptable answers--in many social interactions, people fudge the truth and make their answers 'fit' what they expect the other person wants to hear. 'Values' questions are particularly sensitive to this sort of 'noise'. Classic example, non religious, is that polling repeated overstates those that claim to have voted or will vote. It is because nowadays, someone sensitive to social norms dislikes revealing that they did not vote while society has been pounded with the idea that they must vote.
You also see this problem with post election polling where invariably, a percentage claims falsely voting for the winner when they voted for the loser.

I've never voted for a party because it was f*cking 'tradition' in my family.
My dad's side of the family were union guys. They started out voting Dem, I'm sure, however, became VERY conservative later in life. My uncle, recently retired, has been a STAUNCH conservative for years.
I only vote straight R now because the Dems are batshit f*cking insane and want to destroy EVERYTHING the Founding Fathers built.
That being said, even though I've never voted for a Democrat, I have voted for an independent or 2 over the years.

What do you think will happen if democrats get in and abolish drilling and coal? Sunshine and roses? Plus they happily vote in new taxes that raise the gas tax... but they vote for it because it's "for the children."
I can't help these people. They vote against their own interests and then wail when there's consequences to it.

It’s hard to convince people as they get older. Their bias becomes more ingrained, and they are suspicious of material facts. That’s why a lot of older Democrats will vote for the party that wants to euthanize them, and kill their grandchildren in the womb.
You see, it’s all Republican propaganda, despite the fact that you show, in the verifiable words of Democrats, exactly what they want.
There is as a time when you could compare the parties, surmise they are a few degrees apart and let apathy rule. That time is far in the past. You only need to read what Democrats are proposing.

"Among the voters in our survey:"
Why would any of those religious groups vote Dem in significant amount? They are hostile to religion and don't even try to hide it any more. Are they all LIV's? From the ones I know that would seem to be the case.

Those of us who pay attention find it hard to grasp how much many people's political thinking is based on conditions generations ago that they don't even really think about. In AZ along the border there are Dem sheriffs, who by modern standards would be right wingers, but in the mid to late 1800s Republicans were carpetbagging Yankees and the locals were Confederate sympathetic Dems. So they see themselves as Dems. This is actually the political subtext behind the whole Earps and Tombstone story. Earps were northern carpetbaggers out to make some cash and Ringo and the rest were locals who resented that. Catholics, Jews, Irish were all the underclass 100 years ago and the Dems were their champions, and the Reps were the champions of the English types who got here first.

They're Bush people. They want a polite aristocracy - where they're the nobles - and people bow as they pass. They want to replace Americans with foreigners because all of the social safety net is predicated on an ever growing population and foreigners, so they think, are more likely to accept the nobility of their betters than born Americans.
They were able to appear wise, and patriotic, briefly but then the Great Unmasker arrived on the scene.

I'd further argue that transgenderism violates the Noachide laws. Although (obviously) not a Christian doctrine, I think Christians do understand there exist commandments inherent to Creation, not just to the moral order.
G-d created us. Some of us were born with defects, which G-d is pleased to allow us to fix with our technology. Being a male is not a defect, much as we morons sometimes annoy our moronettes.

70 I've never voted for a party because it was f*cking 'tradition' in my family.
My dad's side of the family were union guys. They started out voting Dem, I'm sure, however, became VERY conservative later in life. My uncle, recently retired, has been a STAUNCH conservative for years.
I only vote straight R now because the Dems are batshit f*cking insane and want to destroy EVERYTHING the Founding Fathers built.
That being said, even though I've never voted for a Democrat, I have voted for an independent or 2 over the years.

My Dad voted Dem when he was younger, but started voting Rep in the 1950's due to his disagreements with Truman. His parents voted Dem, in general until they didn't (and now all three might be voting Dem again since they passed).
Mom voted only when she became a citizen (and might also be voting Dem now as she's also passed).

Nope, Erickson is controlled opposition and is globo homo. IRRC, he grew up overseas in the Persian Gulf as his dad was in the oil industry. Got prominence by becoming a Macon city councilman and claiming to be opposing the Muzzies back then. From there, he left political office to create a media online project with others, Peach Pundit IIRC. From that, he built Red State which he sold to Salem roughly in Trump I term and his Red State soiree for GOP presidential candidates in late 2015-16 had Erickson refuse to invite Trump, ostensibly because of the Megyn Kelly blood coming out her whatever comment. Really, it was because Erickson was GOPE to the core. He had a part time gig as commenter at CNN, about like Scott Jennings did back in the day, and lost that.
So this is a guy financially well off (unless an idiot with money) but he craves to be a mover and shaker. Giving its too late to run for office, he aims at media influence to become a king maker.
Gamma personality secret king shit.

Because their priests and the news media all tell them that voting Rep = Voting Notsee, and you don't vote for Notsees.
It doesn't matter who the REAL Notsees are. When asked about specific policies instead of parties, they tend to be quite conservative.

I think that watching the pattern over the years is instructive from an internal Catholic Church perspective. If the laity in the US is trending to the right, how does the USCCB react when the bishops seem to remain to the left?
But, yeah, from an American politics point of view, it's not very useful for explaining much of anything.

Statistically speaking, the Jewish vote is insignificant, representing a little over 2pct of the electorate.
—
Nationally it’s 2% but it’s heavily concentrated in just a few areas. Michigan is one of those areas. As is Ohio. So it could make a difference in a very close race.

Being a Catholic means you follow Catholic teaching and doctrine.
Not some of it. All of it. It isn’t a Chinese menu.
You can call yourself a Catholic, and support the Democrats agenda of abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality and their host of abuses antithetical to Catholic doctrine, but then, you’re not really a Catholic.
That is just reality. He is watching;
“ the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.”

Honest question: When has Erik Erickson been conservative or on our side? Ever?
Never cared for him, read him initially and decided not worth any attention. Like the NRO and former Weekly Standard (whatever they are now) freaks, these people are as bad, if not worse, than the Mitch McConnels in DC.
He does not speak for me, does not inform me, and could disappear tomorrow and I would not notice.

In the early 2000s (before he got Alzheimer's) he realized that the Democrats were no longer the party of the working man and didn't care about the "little people".
He was not a deep thinker. He didn't even graduate 8th grade. But he could see what was going on.

That is not for me to say and I would never say that. Jesus and the Father do eternal judgment, not me.
But despite considerable misfortune in my life, I never blamed the Lord for it. The very thought of it is repugnant to me personally as arrogance because it inverts the hierarchy. But Jesus forgives and cleanses whatever sins if you ask.
Just never diss the Holy Spirit though. Pretty clear in the Bible that is pretty much an unforgivable sin for whatever reason the Father and Son chose that to be.

It's not just Jews voting against their self-interest. It's most of the semi-normal Left. Voting for people who would take what's yours, who would enslave or subjugate you, spiritually if not literally, who would defile pillars of morality and decency, makes no sense to me. Some are fooled by the "helping others" bullshit, but most of it goes much deeper. It is both guilt and envy, in some bazaar combination.

So that 25% of his income can go to a government that wastes it on a bunch of shit he didn’t vote for? Subsidizing the food he stocks grocery stores with for people who don’t work a 1,000th of how hard he works to buy groceries with EBT cards that he pays for, which then drives up the cost of groceries for him and his family that he pays for out of his paycheck because he’s doing it the right way.

Many of the colonies had an official church which was politically powerful in the colony. What they did not want was some sort of state religion that could be used to disenfranchise those churches in a power move, since they had already had to put up with that in England and they didn't enjoy it the first time.

I saw this 10-15 years ago when I used to argue with woke college kids on FB. They are convinced that understanding computer world tricks makes them the smartest people that ever lived. I used to ask them if they could operate a three masted sailing ship, or harness a team of horses, or tune a carburetor, and then if that made them stupid that they couldn't because earlier people could. Few of them could even get my analogy.

Catholic laity is shifting back to tradition. And the church knows it. Part of the problem is many priests climbing the Catholic Church hierarchy are part of the battle and that included the last pope. They have become more biased in their politics, and more active in their opinions about it, than loosely associating their musings with the Gospels. Gospels which people can read for themselves and decide whether they personally believe this proclamations are true. Hint, a good portion of the laity doesn’t. Especially when you throw in organizations connected to the church that are clearly left wing, like Catholic Charities.
There is a real battle going on for the soul of the church. Politics and those in office will never change that. Ever. That’s in your own soul, and won’t be stolen by any person.

Can't see how any Catholic could vote for today's Democrats. Abortion and homosexual marriage are white-line violations of doctrine. And you can't be a Democratic candidate without being on board with the whole set of evil.

I put this on the priests/pastors/bishops of the Catholic Church. So worried about offending a parishioner (especially a wealthy one), that they'll never speak of the evils of abortion, etc.
I've seen 2 priests who came to the USA from Poland, went to a Polish Seminary in the upper midwest who have been removed from ministry. BS reasons provided, but it came down to they were hardcore, and the congregation was not. A few phone calls to the bishop, and they are removed from the parish.

The school is self-selecting for conservative people, but that tracks with your stated trend. (We had a discussion about what "Orthodox" means: the denomination, not the word. )

A guy dies and goes to Heaven. He sees all the town drunks, whores and hobos there, looking at him strangely. He asks St. Peter, "How did they get in?" St. Peter replies, "They're wondering the same thing about you."

I've seen 2 priests who came to the USA from Poland, went to a Polish Seminary in the upper midwest who have been removed from ministry. BS reasons provided, but it came down to they were hardcore, and the congregation was not. A few phone calls to the bishop, and they are removed from the parish.

Which means the church upper management cares more about money than souls...e.g. the Catholic Church (at least in certain locations and at certain levels) is a business.

I saw this 10-15 years ago when I used to argue with woke college kids on FB. They are convinced that understanding computer world tricks makes them the smartest people that ever lived. I used to ask them if they could operate a three masted sailing ship, or harness a team of horses, or tune a carburetor, and then if that made them stupid that they couldn't because earlier people could. Few of them could even get my analogy.

Hitler didn't go after Jews because of religious hatred, but rather racial hatred.
If you ever watched "The Eternal Jew" one of the peculiarities of it was the demonization of The Jews™ for the crime of being leaders in the professions. They had Power Point slides showing how The Jews™ dominated in legal, medical, mercantile, accounting and politics professions. Not by a little, but by a lot.
I think that has much to do with the Diaspora mindset that says learn skills that can't be taken from you. Having a higher IQ in general and a culture that drills young minds into studious minds is a major plus.
Nevertheless, The Jews™ were likened to rats and vermin most likely as a way to manipulate the smooth brains the leadership would count on to perform the physical work of genocide.

Faith is not church. The world is full of frauds and liars especially when it comes to faith.
No, Faith is not church. Briefly, it's faith in the salvific power of the risen Christ and the continuing presence of the Holy Spirit. You don't have to go to church to be a Christian. However, I went to church for years before I was ordained. I appreciated the preaching, the hymns, the beauty of the sanctuary, the Sacraments, the foundational words of Scripture and the fellowship with other believers who were on the same page theologically preaching. My world would be much lessened were I not part of a church community. And I'm not longer preaching except to the ladies at the monthly service at the nursing home (which is done as a volunteer, so it's not as if I making a haul from being a pastor.

This scares me even as a non-Jew: Cali enacted SB 1387, making it the first U.S. state to recognize Jewish identity as an optional ethnicity or race on official demographic forms.
Effective January 1, 2029, state agencies are required to provide an optional check-box for Jewish ethnicity on data collection forms (such as health, education, and social service forms).
The checkbox is completely optional & does not create a new legal protected class or alter religious classifications.
Will it help accurately count the state's roughly 1.2 million Jewish residents to better track healthcare needs, educational outcomes, and resources to combat antisemitism? Groups like Jewish Voice for Peace have raised concerns.

Unitarian Universalists (UUs) are post-Christian/Pluralist, 🤷♀️ "broadly considered one of the most politically progressive religious traditions" in the nation.
Quakers have a unprogrammed branch (liberal) & a pastoral/evangelical branch often referred to as Orthodox that leans more 'mainstream' Protestant.

The whole postmodern idea that the Founders were Deist is overblown. A few might have been but the majority were not. As Kindltot noted, there were established state churches in the colonies (CofE in most, Congregationalist in MA (including ME at the time), and Maryland was founded Catholic.
What you might not have known is that Brits seriously considered at least twice, requiring installed bishops of the Church of England in the American colonies and mandating the colonies, whatever their existing church, be forced to be CofE as their official state religion. So you would have bans on Catholics in office mandated (some colonies had that), treating Congregationalists, Quakers, and Baptists as nonconformists under the law, and all other religions beliefs being taxed to support CofE institutions.

The wise Hungarian peasants try to warn the polished, worldly Renfield not to go to Dracula's castle. He dismisses them. Goes and gets warped into a strange half creature by the predatory Dracula.
There is a metaphor in there of wise conservatives, the classic Democrat or Jewish voters, and the predatory DSA.

The wise Hungarian peasants try to warn the polished, worldly Renfield not to go to Dracula's castle. He dismisses them. Goes and gets warped into a strange half creature by the predatory Dracula.
There is a metaphor in there of wise conservatives, the classic Democrat or Jewish voters, and the predatory DSA.

My dad was a Texas Democrat as everyone else in Texas. The party left him and he was as reliable a Republican vote as you could find.

Because in simplistic terms the Holy Spirit is the roadway.
Those who claimed it was demonic were essentially literally shutting down their own path to redemption, forgiveness, mercy, Jesus, the Father etc.
It's not so much that God would not forgive it, it was that they were severing their own pathway to His forgiveness. That's how I make sense of why that is the only unpardonable sin.

Most folks define blasphemy as you do, but it's more that that. In Jesus' case, he was accused of it because he claimed to do things only God could do. Things that went contrary to the Torah, as his accusers saw it.

Several states had state religions after the Constitution was signed. Mass, NH, and CT with their Congregationalist Churchs, Southern colonies with the Episcopalian (really Anglican without recognizing the king as head of the church) in southern states, IRRC the last of them abandoned them by the 1830's. Massachusetts I think.

Alaska has the highest Quaker population per capita of any U.S. state

You had many Jews leaning left for a few reasons historically:
1) They considered themselves a discriminated against ethnic minority. No one else does. To right leaning people they are white and to left leaning people they are uber white devils.
2) Large numbers of Jewish people didn't really believe their faith, and like all atheists voted hard left - as you note demographics seems to be resolving this issue
3) The left wing political establishment rewarded left leaning Jews - look at how failed commune member Bernie Sanders is now rich...but the entry to politics for Jewish people in the Dem party is closing
4) The argument re: Israel was always that Israeli hardliners were the problem and if Israel just negotiated enough the problem would go away. Well Israel gave Hamas their own land and they used it to plan an attack to rape and murder peace-nik Israelis.

There is no useful thing to say about "the Catholics" because as a group all Catholics split exactly as the population as a whole. If you divide Catholics into groups based upon Mass attendance, regular church goers are to the right of Evangelicals and those that never attend are to the left of mainline Protestants.

Depends on the theology.
Generally Speaking Roman Catholicism leans towards salvation through the Church. Due to its corporate nature, and the Second Chances concept of Purgatory, a Mob Fixer can perform a hit on the way to Mass and that is acceptable. So aborting children has its place in Rome.
This is in contrast to Confessional Christianity with a foundation within the Doctrines of Grace that, because of spiritual regeneration and sanctification would make it inconceivable for the Elect in Christ to vote for a pro-abortion candidate. The renewed mind finds that sin to be a characteristic of the unregenerated

New CAtholics and a purging of the old has made the catholic population more gospel focused in probably the last 100 years. The old liberal catholic dioceses are dying. Catholics will trend GOP more strongly going forward. Geography will impact that.

"Hitler didn't go after Jews because of religious hatred, but rather racial hatred."
NAZI policies were mostly the latter - you couldn't escape the Gestapo by converting to Christianity or Islam.
But many NAZI leaders also complained that Christianity was also a Jewish religion and it had made the Germans weak.
Now of course prior to Christianity Germans were backward barbarians but history was never a NAZI strong suit

Do you know where the Baptist Church in America was founded? Wasn't in the south. It was in Rhode Island.
Oldest standing synagogue in America is in Newport.
As I said, the concept of separation of church and state came from the teaching of Roger Williams. Render onto Caesar and all that.

Growing up in small-town Michigan, my Presbyterian church did a lot of stuff with the Methodist church. I didn't think there was much difference between them theologically.

In my case, it was Methodist/Episcopal. The town was so small that there were not enough kids in either denomination/age group for the churches to have younger and older youth groups. So, the younger kids attended the Methodist youth group, the older, Episcopal.

The argument re: Israel was always that Israeli hardliners were the problem and if Israel just negotiated enough the problem would go away. Well Israel gave Hamas their own land and they used it to plan an attack to rape and murder peace-nik Israelis.
That's why I'm convinced the stupidest most suicidally empathetic people on the planet are Israeli leftists. I can kind of get falling for the Free Palestine (with purchase of equal or lesser value) thing when you're 10,000 miles away. When Palestine is actively launching rockets at your apartment it's a whole other level of stupid.

Depends on the theology.
Generally Speaking Roman Catholicism leans towards salvation through the Church. Due to its corporate nature, and the Second Chances concept of Purgatory, a Mob Fixer can perform a hit on the way to Mass and that is acceptable. So aborting children has its place in Rome.
This is in contrast to Confessional Christianity with a foundation within the Doctrines of Grace that, because of spiritual regeneration and sanctification would make it inconceivable for the Elect in Christ to vote for a pro-abortion candidate. The renewed mind finds that sin to be a characteristic of the unregenerated
Posted by: Community Notes at October 29, 2026 11:19 AM (a3CJ+)
Not an accurate characterization of Catholic theology on any point. Purgatory has nothing to do with second chances, that's Confession. Abortion etc. carries with it automatic excommunication.
Usually Protestantism is stricter about actual membership being requisite for salvation, and their shift to the right on abortion is relatively recent, happening late in the 20th century.

I've mentioned my older relative here before (given that I'm older than dirt, you can imagine how old he is).
Hates illegal aliens
Hates abortion
Hates taxes
Hates communism
Thinks people in the US should speak English
Votes a straight D ticket every election.
Why? Because his daddy did.
I've given up on talking to him about politics. If you point out that 95% of his political views correspond to those of the Great Satan, Trump, he just gets angry.
If a person has a mistaken (but rational) belief you can persuade him out of it by citing evidence, noting logical flaws, and so on. Not so with an irrational, cult-like belief, and the Democratic Party is just that: a cult.
>, support people and policies that are antithetical to the very idea of Judaism!

While Hynde isn't based by any means, she's pretty far away from being woke. It's not just the Rush theme. Some of her other views are contrary to the woke agenda.
This has caused her some grief among her peer group, as one would expect.

Hynde is indeed great. The Pretenders as a group, though, never did recover from losing two of their four founding members to drug abuse within a year. The rotating personnel since then just doesn't capture the same vibe, IMO.
Don't do drugs, kids.
Trivia: the original name of the Pretenders was Mike Hunt's Dishonorable Discharge, a rather more typical name for punk bands of the era, though the Pretenders were never really punk per se.

Unitarian Universalists (UUs) are post-Christian/Pluralist, 🤷♀️ "broadly considered one of the most politically progressive religious traditions" in the nation.
IIRC The Unitarians do not believe in either the divinity of Christ (or His salvific work) or the Holy Spirit.
By definition, they are not Christian, even if they have all the other trappings.

She told me that, if I EVER needed to go to the Hall to ask to have anything done, the first thing they were going to look at was the little letter behind my last name. If it wasn't a 'D', everything you said after that was ignored … lesson learnt early. It's still that way today, too.

1928 is a little early for the WPA, but social realism was already in the air in the art world. The small building with the conical roof could be a water tank for the factory, then the so-called ramp could be a spillway if they wanted to empty out the tank.

Basquiat had some talent, and he certainly knew how to manipulate homosexuals like Warhol, but he basically painted the same thing over and over ... and over.

“Here are the people that are spreading the Ebola virus through people’s toilets and rivers!” the angry group of local residents shouted, summoning an even angrier band of youths armed with clubs and machetes. The nurse died at the scene after the mob attacked.
A few days before that deadly incident, another community worker in the area was attacked by a mob and escaped with his life, but the mob set his house on fire.

Painting a dog is one thing, but painting a cat is quite another.
Posted by: tubal
I suppose it's harder to paint a dog because dogs are expressive and their personality shows on their faces. Much like painting a person. It looks off, if you don't get the character right.
Cats have almost no expression or personality on their blank faces beyond oh..say, a yawn.
That's why their portraits are so often anthropomorphized or given the AI treatment.
A cat is a cat is cat, except for color. So boring.

Phony painting due to the lack of ads on the buildings.
This is a masterpiece of American landscape painting. It touches geometric abstraction in how the buildings are represented and at the same time are perfectly understood as real objects. The colors are spectacular and ground the scene in a serenity; Edward Hopper went here all the time - this is completely American. This period of American art and photography has become my favorite.

Johnathan Andrew Tijerina is accused of spray-painting the address of his anti-gun website over the engraved names of some of the 2,977 victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, Islamic terrorist attacks.

What they love more than anything is demoralizing us.
But you know what they love more? Demoralizing their own people. And faking polls before an election could accomplish both. Us before and their own after.
With their own people shattered they get angrier, more disappointed, more miserable.
And our celebration if it happens will be short lived because they just start demoralizing with something else shortly thereafter. Kamala being unstoppable or whatever. And. It. Works.

I was grabbing some popcorn to see if things went hands-on at the UN with Mike Waltz and Cuba’s foreign minister. Waltz served in 19th and 20th SFG. He has two Bronze Stars with v devices, the second one got him an oak leaf. Read the first citation if you get a chance. He was basically standing in a field with no cover shooting at positions with automatic weapons. When he ran out of rounds, he went to his pistol.
I’m pretty sure he’s not intimidated by a bunch of commie dick jugglers. Pretty sure.

All I'm saying is we know they lie and we know polls are bs. We just don't know the extent until the actual election. Meanwhile they have kept our side miserable for months. By nothing more than printing lies. Mission Accomplished.

There's a short promo of Asteroid City, filmed at the outdoor set, with Murray and Jason Schwartzman. No idea why Muray didn't play a bigger role, there was obviously some level of availability (and Anderson talks about how he uses schedules creatively to afford his casts). I do think the role would have been better in Murray's hands than Hanks'.

Amazing. Rapaport was a HUGE lib. They LOVED him. A real outspoken ass.
He split with them on ONE thing - Jews - and overnight became a MAGA pariah even though he had at the time stayed a mega progressive socialist.
Just amazing. He is a rare one who COULD have his eyes opened all the way. I doubt it but it will be interesting to see where he goes. At the moment he's probably just enjoying pissing off the people who turned on him. Many of us were there at one time. Watching leftards turn on you for merely disagreeing ONCE.

So, it's all propaganda polls up to the last minute.

He's always been a flaming commie cocksucker. But his career is in the shitter, has been for years. Honestly, I think that he's trying to be clever in switching over to the right wing, either to get acting jobs with the new right wing production companies or to set the stage for lawsuits against the traditional commie studios for blacklisting him.

233 Why do people keep including the House?
The House has a teeny-tiny majority. Johnson gotten bill after bill passed.
The Senate needs an enema. The time to do that is in the primaries.
Posted by: Ann at October 29, 2026 10:39 AM (SHHm+)
========
People include the House because we remember the ACA repeal bills easily passing the House under Paul Ryan and then suddenly not even being brought to the floor once Trump was president.
The skepticism is historically warranted.
However, Johnson did pass the OBBB which tripled ICE and cut off a bunch of benefits to illegals, which the Senate then passed. So, I suspect that Johnson is different from Ryan.

>>They are going to need to crank up the printing presses and mail in fraud to pull that off. And the Feds are
The donks control the entire apparatus in NYS so they can pretty much do what they want.
Basically Blue states are becoming bluer, red states are becoming redder and since blue states tend to have bigger populations, I think we are starting to tend back to a point where everything is locked in and the donks will have a slight numerical edge going forward.
I fully expect them to whittle down the Cali and NY congressional GOP to next to nothing so, I think they take control of the house.
And since the GOP in many places doesn't want to rock the boat and redistirct, the Donks will have the numerical edge for a while.

TJM is right.
Michael Rapaport is developmentally disabled. It's not sarcasm. He probably puts his clothes on backwards and stuff like that.
Much as I hate Leftists, I don't really hold it against him. You can't take people like him seriously when they say what they "believe."

They're being paid directly by Singham, Mark Cuban, Laurene Powell Jobs, and Alex Soros now instead of with our tax money. So that's something.

That comparing day to day from 2026 early voting to 2024, the county level analysis of voting in Texas is showing that the electorate in Texas today is slightly to the left of what it was in 2024.
In 2024, Cruz won by 9 and Trump won by 14.
So, assume that Paxton wins as many Republicans as Cruz did (only 6% of Republicans voted for Beto in 201, and you're looking at Paxton on track to winning by about 7.

It's a standard crossover rate, roughly 5% or so.
The only time something exceeds that is usually incredible controversy (Mark Robinson in the NC governor's race in 2024, you should have heard the ads using his own words over and over again). And as much as Democrats want Paxton to be like Robinson, he's not.

It has taken me a long time, in my 29+ years of life, to understand this life is a test, and tests are by their very definition hard. That struggle is an essential part of it. And maybe god gives me hard things to work through BECAUSE he loves me, not because he hates me. And he will be with me every step of the way, if I lean on him.
Whenever Billy decides to talk to God again, God will be right there. He cares about us even we don't care about him.
The most poignant scripture to me at the moment is "Jesus wept." He knew he was about to resurrect their brother from the dead, and yet he wept and mourned with Mary and Martha. He weeps with us every day. And roots for us every day.

Anyone reading the Book of Job or viewing the sacrifice of Jesus in the New Testament along with the grisly martyrdom of saints should get the message.
During bad times, I was never tempted to blame the Lord, but instead blamed myself and individuals that were responsible. Prideful individuals though believe their good fortune comes from being good people rather than being humble despite repeated admonitions that one must be humble before the Lord. Even Moses nearly got killed for disobedience and was punished by never being able to enter the Promised Land.
Instead of reading the Bible, I think many of societal elites get their religion from attending services and it is not too popular nowadays for ministers/rabbis/etc to emphasize unpleasant truths in the Bible/Torah. We gloss over the bad things happening documented in the Good Book at our peril. And these even occur to those that the Lord views as his favorites because his plans are not ours.

The Morning Report — 10/29 /26
Several Americans are believed to have been injured in a high-speed train collision that killed at least 68 people in Spain on Wednesday when one train collided with another that had stopped on the tracks. The crash took place in Spain's Castilla-La Mancha, with the regional government confirming the death toll and adding that another 58 people required medical treatment in hospitals. Several Americans are believed to have been hurt in the crash, according to the State Department.Prayers go out for all the victims and their loved ones. Yikes, having traveled extensively in Spain many years ago via their rail system, I can just imagine the carnage. Of course with everything else going on in Spain and Europe vis a vis the violent riots with its roots in Islam and their allies of convenience in and of the Left whose common enemy is Western civilization itself and the possibility of terrorism immediately comes to mind. You may recall the attack in Madrid at the Atocha train station shortly after 9/11 as well as the fact that Spain has been dealing with the terrorist Basque separatist group ETA for decades and so Terrorism cannot be ruled out, unless of course you're the Media channeling the specter of Yasser Arafat correcting that word as Tourism, which no doubt they're doing as we speak sincerely one day later and there's but one link I can find to this story. No doubt the Media and the Left but I repeat myself has its hands full trying to preserve protect and defend the election thievery in Brazil and more importantly run cover for whatever they have planned for next week here in the USA. The mass bloody carnage of a grisly train wreck, what a perfect metaphor... On that note, we have a couple of items that underscore that threat which seems to be solidifying into a very distinct possibility, regionally in several crucial races if not nationally. First up there's this vile Gestapo-like action from the direct descendants of Goebbels and the Gestapo:
Investigative journalists James O’Keefe and Cameron Higby have been hit with felony charges by left-wing Minneapolis prosecutors for their video exposing vulnerable loopholes in Minnesota’s elections. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty accused conservative media personalities O’Keefe, 42, and Higby, 26, of “try[ing] to sow doubt about Minnesota’s secure voting systems” on Wednesday . . . “Mr. O’Keefe and Mr. Higby filmed themselves and posted the videos to social media to try to sow doubt about Minnesota’s secure voting systems,” a press release from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office reads.I'm not familiar with Minnesota's state criminal code, so will someone kindly enlighten me to the exact law or laws that these gentlemen broke? I ain't no F. Lee Bailey or Ironsides but I can't seem to find “try[ing] to sow doubt about Minnesota’s secure voting systems” anywhere in my dog-eared copy of "Understanding the Minnesota Criminal Code For Dummies/Dhimmis." Meh, let's not lose our heads over this. They're will be plenty of time for that under Potus El-Sayed and VP Omar! Over the top? You tell me; the battle lines are being drawn, "For What It's Worth?!" That garbage in Mecca-macacasota is bad enough but this next item is murder!
And yet after the DOJ identified illegal voters in Washington state, Gov. Robert Ferguson decided to invoke the National Guard. Gov. Bob Ferguson on Tuesday criticized a federal request that Washington state set aside the ballots of more than 400 voters over citizenship concerns, calling the move “disappointing” a week before Election Day... Department of Homeland Security investigators claim, with a “high level of confidence,” that the voters in question are not U.S. citizens, according to a letter sent to Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs... National Guard personnel in plain clothes? What police state nonsense is this.Someone set three ballot drop boxes on fire back in 2024 and destroyed a few hundred ballots. Not sure how unarmed Guardsmen in civies are supposed to stop this. . .These bastards are playing with fire. Meh, we've been saying this since forever and yet the Democrat Party and Leftists have metastasized like a cancer all over the place. Even if we the people of WE THE PEOPLE turn out like never before next week, there's just no way in hell that these bastards are going to allow their power to be denuded if they can help it? But it raises a broader and more serious point that we touched upon in the latest episode of the podcast (linked here) as well as in the sidebar and on the popular outlets listed at the bottom of this post. Western Civilization and arguably its high water mark the American Revolution and the Republic it spawned are on a knife edge of being destroyed. So, my fear is that we can vote for Donald Trumps all up and down the line all for election after election And Make No Mistake, we Must!!! but at what point will voting harder and harder and harder just not cut the mustard?! Horrid as the prior two stories are, we have already witnessed and lived through many more since before Trump descended the golden Trump Tower escalator 11 years ago now? So Psaki-Psircling back to the podcast, when do we the people of WE THE PEOPLE dare "take arms against a sea of troubles?" and as I pondered (not necessarily weak and weary) is resorting to the tactics, specifically the violence (albeit in true self defense) of our enemies, who as we have seen are in every sense of the word mortal enemies, isn't the negation of the very things we are trying to preserve? The Democrat Party and Leftism must be completely removed from every position of power and influence in and out of government and society at large and never be permitted to rise again. We must fight evil remorselessly and relentlessly lest it once again rise to hold a rusty hacksaw to our neck! It's us or them. And that's the plain unvarnished truth, like it or not. And so with that bitter pill I nevertheless bid you all to have a good day.

Several Americans are believed to have been injured in a high-speed train collision that killed at least 68 people in Spain on Wednesday when one train collided with another that had stopped on the tracks.
Clearly the cause is school conditions, Global Warming, Trump and late-stage capitalism.

We will do nothing except vote, then shrug our shoulders when we lose by cheating. No large scale armed resistance will happen, because the first one to start shooting usually loses. People like us don't want to kill, but the other side has no qualms about it. Only direct danger to our own families will make us shoot. They will shoot when they get told to, no matter who the target is.
I think there's a book that outlines the whole scenario.

The Left is a direct threat to me, the life I have made, and all the values I hold dear. Maybe my late wife was on to something when she told me she would not visit me in jail.

I'm curious about the trains. With 68 dead, was that because they hit at tremendous speed? Or...
The first word I noted was "packed" in the first headline I saw about that. Is that a normal condition on Spanish trains, from, let's say, 20 years ago?
Or would that be more like the third world "packed" where it's standing room only, elbow-to-elbow? And something that's new?
Does anyone here know much about this?

Membah how James Comey used his scum journalist friend to plant false information in the media which he then in turn used as a predicate to open an investigation?
All the polls are similar bullsh*t, meant to spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

I used to think I didn't want to kill, except Iranians IRGC and terrorists while in the service, but my views are evolving. Iranian Uber drivers are safe from me.
The Left is a direct threat to me, the life I have made, and all the values I hold dear. Maybe my late wife was on to something when she told me she would not visit me in jail.

I still don't want to, but it seems they won't stop what they're doing until somebody does something against them.
People who believe in a good higher power aren't usually going around murdering others because of how they vote. Those who don't seem to have no qualms about it because they think nothing will happen to them after they've passed, will do it if they think there's a benefit to to them.
I have tools for self defense, but I don't want to use them unless absolutely forced to because, where do you stop?

Thank you JJ
I noticed a strange thing yesterday… MN senate race. All recent polls had Tafoya within a few percentage points of Flanagan. Then… poof, a poll comes out showing Flanagan ahead 54-40… and of course RCP includes this poll in their average even though it’s a way-out-there outlier. It reminded me of that Des Moines register poll late in 2024 that showed Trump losing Iowa.
My two takeaways: 1. Most polls are propaganda and 2. Dems are gonna cheat cheat cheat in this election

We still use paper ballots here. Make your selections marking the ovals, walk your ballot up to the machine processor, insert it. Each ballot is assigned a number which you see. Not fool proof I realize, but seems a fairly good method.

The Dems seem to be getting more insane as the election bears, if that is possible. A Trump supporter got stabbed at a Trump rally yesterday.
Also it's interesting watching Mark Halperin walk back his talk of a Blue Tsunami. He must be seeing the same signs the Horde has been talking about for weeks.

What I think I now understand is "Deep Hate."
Like where the Russians in 1945 paid back the entire nation of Germany once the Red Army crossed the border.
Like Hamas and the Peace Festival.

Hegseth has found a leaker, apparently:
“Army Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia, who was part of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was fired by Secretary Hegseth for severe misconduct. . .
Sylvia is the subject of an investigation for leaking classified information about the Iran War, the war between Russia and Ukraine, and more. Due to the Pentagon’s media policy requiring journalists to have escorts in the building, Sylvia began meeting with journalists outside of the Pentagon in order to leak classified information.
Sylvia failed three polygraphs which questioned him about leaking classified information. The investigation into him remains ongoing and has been referred to the Department of Justice for further action. The extent of his leaking became so critical that Secretary Hegseth took immediate action and fired Sylvia in order to protect national security. Urgent action was needed and could not wait another second.”

The enshittification continues...
Just moments ago, a notice to Garmin InReach users saying that the SMS messages will no longer go out with a click-able link to the message location, rather just a lat/long and the recipient is expected to cut and paste that coordinate into their favorite mapping software.
Garmin InReach is a service where a Garmin sports enthusiast, when doing an activity that involves a changing location as a key element of the activity, can provide a way for the SMS message recipient to track the athlete in near real-time.
The map-link version went to a map where the location was dynamic (sort of like Glympse) and provided things like heart-rate, pace, etc. It also reports incidents like crashing.
This is useful in a low-trust society as riding a bicycle exposes one to getting murdered by shit-head motorists. The map would show me stopped with a 0 BPM heart rate.
They stopped the link provision for US customers because of Carrier/A2P anti-spam compliance and SMS aggregator requirements.

It follows the NYT report that Peltola-aligned operatives recruited spoiler candidates, including one with the SAME last name as Sen. Dan Sullivan, to peel votes from him.
- - - -
Marc Elias's name just landed in the "second Dan Sullivan" scandal.
The New York Times reports that Peltola aides, DSCC staffers and the CAMPAIGN'S LAWYERS helped push a retired teacher named Daniel J. Sullivan to run against Sen. Dan Sullivan.
Peltola's lawyers in Alaska?
Elias Law Group, which is now fighting Trump's DOJ to make sure the result gets certified.
Mark Halperin says Elias's firm was involved in the search. That's his claim, and the firm didn't respond to Reuters.

And Caesar’s spirit, ranging for revenge,

Because of POS's like John Thune, who could've at least tried to have some integrity and restore trust in our elections, we only have had some tweaks here and there in various states. IMO, each and every voting fraudster and cheater deserves, at the very least, a long federal prison sentence.

But after hearing the escapades of Train Hoe, and the universe of OnlyFans, violent rape might be part of the kink.

And in SC, you can full-on carry your weapon unconcealed thanks to a lawsuit brought about against some Karen who complained about being "scared and uncomfortable" when she saw some man's weapon under his shirt when he reached for something in a store. Thanks to that dumb broad, we can now carry unconcealed firearms. I hope it made her cry and "literally shake."

Cleta Mitchell is awesome from JJ's link:
So what was the reaction of the pro-corrupt election crowd to my post on X? Democracy Docket and its principal, Elias, screamed that I had called for Lutnick to “seize the voting machines.” The next day, Elias and Stuart Stevens, Mitt Romney’s former chief strategist, publicly declared that I should be indicted on RICO charges because of my X post on this topic.
Media Matters included my comments in its article headlined “Election Denial Movement Sets Stage for Chaos on Election Day and its Aftermath.”
What is wrong with these people?
Why are they opposed to taking steps to protect against potential manipulation or exploitation of electronic voting machines? I have never said, nor do I believe, that anyone should “seize” the voting machines — or inspect any parts. I merely reiterated the mitigation plan that DHS outlined earlier this year.
Marc Elias is screaming at others in hopes of deflecting from his career in subverting our elections. May the Alaska investigation into his latest activities there be successful.

I suspect the voting shenanigans will be off the charts next week. They really no longer care if it's obvious. And why would they? They never pay a price.
--
It only gets more refined with each passing election. I truly and deeply believe they have stolen 100s if not 1000s of elections big and small over the years. And yes, most never pay a price.
Because of POS's like John Thune, who could've at least tried to have some integrity and restore trust in our elections, we only have had some tweaks here and there in various states. IMO, each and every voting fraudster and cheater deserves, at the very least, a long federal prison sentence.

If one acknowledges the centuries of blood, treasure and duty that was invested in creating this Exceptional Nation that has showered the globe in wealth and human flourishing, when a relative handful of demonic people and their stupid, selfish minions working to secure the cheat, it should be seen as not just mere federal crime like draining a wet-land without permit, but what it really is: A declaration of war against humanity.
They should be shot and killed in the streets, without remorse for their crimes are not like stealing sodas from a vending machine, but with the intent to put billions of people into a Thousand Years of Darkness, poverty and misery.

Smarter journalists would have breathlessly concluded that he CAN run for President in 2028. They'd spend several paragraphs wailing about his impending dictatorship before, in paragraph 30 or so, admitting that while he could run, he could not actually be elected.

A scholarly review found only three state convictions of lawful permanent residents for unlawful voting or registration in Minnesota across 2015–2024, despite over 13 million ballots cast.

"no real need". True, but is trying to ignore the 800# gorilla.
Mimetic Theory.
The proven idea that most people don't know what they desire and obtain those desires through external sources. Generally, we are social creatures and need of affirmation and peer approval. Thus arise cultures because influencers implant desires. This is how gold teeth and spinner rims become Must Haves in some communities.
Madison Avenue and spam would not be effective if Mimetic Theory was not true. Propaganda works. Marketing works. How else do people eat shitty fast food unless smiling happy people implant the idea that you need to kill yourself with poor diet?
So yes, polls are extremely effective in implanting certain desires in a very large majority of people.

But they justify this by nationally Trump approval is in the 30s and Talarico has mid-50s approval.
None of them poll Trump's approval among Texas Republicans....

All of the unquestioningly repeating his false claim that he had over 4k attend.
The venue has a max of 2.6k.
Trump had over 5k inside watching and estimates of another 10k milling about outside.
But the only story the left is pushing (even NBC nationally) was the 4k lie of Talarico.

- A loving reminder to those who claim the name of Jesus...
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Read the finish in Matt 5:46-48

https://sensurround.substack.com/p/i-didnt-leave-
the-democratic-party
It's very well thought out.
I agree with her basic conclusion, cuz I've thought the same thing myself.
TL/DR?
FIIIIIIINE. I want a Democrat Party that's not insane. I want a Democrat Party that doesn't make it easy for Republican candidates to go "Hey, you're not going vote for insanity are you?" as their sole platform and not deliver on promises that make my life and the nation better cuz well, hell, the Democrats are crazy, mentally unbalanced, loco in the coco.
I'll never vote Democrat because their basic ideas of governance are incorrect at best. But, what I'dd like is two parties fighting hard for the middle.
That means the Democrats have to embrace the Constitution and not Marx or faggy French philosp[hical retards.
Jeffersonian/Hamiltonian arguments we can and should have. Destroying the country and Constituion arguments - naw, son. Do not want.

The Democrat Party are the Left. Whether they were taken over at some point because the Left will colonize anything eventually or whether it's just what that Party is, who is to say.
But the toothpaste is never going back in the tube.
They got away with pretending to be reasonable and sane while beating the hell out of the country and looting it, for years and years, particularly from 2006 on. The beatings were always going to get worse and they were always going to wear the mask of beauty and love.
But then Trump came along and forced the rats into the light and they had no choice but to claim the mantle. I just hope no one thinks what the Left is doing, abusing, jailing, killing their enemies is some kind of "response" to Trump. The only thing that's really a response, is them deciding to own it now. It was their only play. But the idea of a party that is gonna go back to centrism and reasonability, forget it.

However, they CAN tie him up legally and require him to spend lots of money on lawyers trying to keep him out of court. Their tax dollar pockets are a lot deeper than O'Keefe's private donation pockets.

Hard to believe PDT'S approval rate is as high as 30% when all they poll are dems.
Posted by: Ben Had at October 29, 2026 08:52 AM (8Uo7a)
Current polling should be declared illegal and current mainstream pollsters should be put in front of a firing squad.
It's 100% voter intimidation and election fraud at this point.

All over Texas in mostly red districts, the early voting has been at or above 2024 levels. And its not even the traditional day most Republicans vote, and that is on this Tuesday.

Mark Halperin says Elias's firm was involved in the search. That's his claim, and the firm didn't respond to Reuters.
--
I guarantee he was involved.
Since 2019, he and his firm have been a clearinghouse, a central hub for coordinating all the lawfare against Trump.
They have also been the back-channel work-around that judges, Dem lawyers and Dem prosecutors have been using to avoid ex-parte communication ethical violations.
This is also how these judges always seem to be miraculously available and instantly ready to issue orders blocking Trump.
And yes, he'll be indicted by the FL grand jury after the midterms--he's been a key player in the coup, every step of the way.
Seizing his electronic communications will be a full confession and indict the entire Dem Party.
He thinks he's smart when he's just a cheater who's been protected.

There are simply not enough Democrats in Texas to overcome the tidal wave already cresting in late early voting and will overwhelm them on election day.
Democrats have burned through their most loyal voters already, and they're losing ground every day despite getting some kind of early lead.
Republicans vote more on election day than Democrats do. It's been that way for like a decade or longer depending on the state and how long they've done early voting.

TX being close and a purple state is big money for both parties, and it's not going to stop any time soon.

It is an open secret in WA - by which I mean the state gov knows, and the conservatives know, but the Subaru driving dangerhair chekist cat ladies, trannies, and hordes of Indian H1bs do not know - that ballots from outlying areas on the wet side determined to be largely non-leftist are rejected en masse via signature challenge.
They just don't count them. I am not sure exactly how they manage this, but entire areas will get their ballots sent back with signature challenges. Like every single house on a given street. Media won't touch it, which means for all the regular prog zombies it didn't happen. Not that they'd care.

Beginning in 1955, we went on a spit session due to all the new housing construction, along with the new GSP that brought families in from the cities...Newark, Irvington, Jersey City, etc. Finally, in 1959, 5 new schools were built including 3 Junior high schools in the township. In 1964 a new HS opened as well. Our graduating class in 1966, if we all attended the same HS, would have consisted of over 1100 students!

Former President Obama criticized President Trump’s war with Iran while campaigning for Democrats in Georgia on Wednesday, less than a week before the midterm elections.
“This happens to be something I know a little bit about,” Obama said. “I didn’t fire any missiles, I engaged in diplomacy.”
The war with Iran, which began in February, has cost the U.S. military at least $47.1 billion as of mid-October, according to a new estimate from U.S. Central Command obtained by CBS News.

Read a couple of the designer egg cartons - they assured me that the chickens involved were leading their Best Lives Ever, happy in every way, only eating the highest quality organic chicken feed, with ample play and socialization times. I am not, for the most part, making this up.

He talks out of both sides of his mouth because the Left has more projection than Space X and because he has a penis in it.

Former President Obama criticized President Trump’s war with Iran while campaigning for Democrats in Georgia on Wednesday, less than a week before the midterm elections.
“This happens to be something I know a little bit about,” Obama said. “I didn’t fire any missiles, I engaged in diplomacy.”
The war with Iran, which began in February, has cost the U.S. military at least $47.1 billion as of mid-October, according to a new estimate from U.S. Central Command obtained by CBS News.

Oh,voting does matter. I started voting again now that I'm in a red State with a pretty based GOP. I want the most right wing State government I can possibly get. But I will continue my boycott of voting for federal offices. I no longer consider DC legitimate and voting in those elections is counterproductive.
Sadly, the extremist I voted for in the gubernatorial primary exceeded all expectations. He won 5 counties, when he was predicted to win 0.
So, not this time around, but there's always next time. One of these days, we'll ram it home to his boneless GOP detractors good and hard.

I am willing to pay a lot more for eggs. I love the orange yolks (unwashed eggs) I get at the local farmers market.
We barely use 2 dozen per month, so paying up is not a problem.
For families? That eggs are back to 99¢/dozen is fantastic as eggs are used in so many things and are a good source of protein.

There's nothing which can come out late which would cause me to either vote blue or, by my inaction, allow a blue to be elected.

Obama said. “I didn’t fire any missiles, I engaged in diplomacy.”
On December 12, 2013, a drone operated by Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), an elite United States military division, launched an airstrike on a convoy of vehicles Aqabat Zaj, an area near the city of Radda in al-Bayda Governorate, Yemen. The convoy was a wedding procession transporting the bride to the village of the groom. As it stopped for a vehicle with a flat tire, four missiles were launched at a Toyota Hilux carrying three people, who had escaped before the missiles struck.

Alaska's governor is ordering an investigation into Democrat Mary Peltola's Senate campaign over an alleged scheme to confuse voters by recruiting a Senate candidate with the same name as Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan.
The governor cited new reporting suggesting an organized effort to misdirect votes and directed state authorities to determine whether any laws were broken or charges are warranted.
Peltola's campaign has denied involvement in recruiting the candidate.
"The evidence will determine what happens next."
... now compare that to ...
“Avoid the line. Vote from home.”
“Text ‘Hillary’ to 59925.”
“Vote for Hillary and be a part of history.”
The scheme was charged as conspiracy to interfere with voting rights under the Ku Klux Klan Act

Good morning, and thanks J.J.
"Investigative journalists James O’Keefe and Cameron Higby have been hit with felony charges by left-wing Minneapolis prosecutors for their video exposing vulnerable loopholes in Minnesota’s elections."
Seems to tie into the abundance of 'news,' nationally and locally, of PDT (administration) & possible interference with the mid-term elections elections.
A few examples: 'Inside the DOJ's Unlawful Push to Interfere in the 2026 ...'; "The New Worst-Case Scenario for Election Officials: Federal Interference” and "Trump Appointees Asked a Federal Cybersecurity Agency to Secretly Acquire A Voting Machine - and Hack It.'
And online alerts: Trump appointees - unnamed, stationed at DHS - asked cybersecurity agency to SECRETLY HACK voting machine ahead of midterms, and the results of the secret hack were to be passed directly back to the White House.
Did it happen? Reportedly, DHS and CISA declined to deny the event and the White House issued a broad statement defending the President's overall record.
So what? Trump is the head of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government and CISA has only been strengthened over recent years.
"Investigative journalists James O’Keefe and Cameron Higby have been hit with felony charges by left-wing Minneapolis prosecutors for their video exposing vulnerable loopholes in Minnesota’s elections."
Seems to tie into the abundance of 'news,' nationally and locally, of PDT (administration) & possible interference with the mid-term elections elections.
A few examples: 'Inside the DOJ's Unlawful Push to Interfere in the 2026 ...'; "The New Worst-Case Scenario for Election Officials: Federal Interference” and "Trump Appointees Asked a Federal Cybersecurity Agency to Secretly Acquire A Voting Machine - and Hack It.'

Around since about 2007, but with it's "official" launch in 2018, CISA's powers grew from being a passive advising agency to operational cyber defense. (2021, given administrative subpoena authority and via Executive Order, Mandatory Federal Cyber Defenses. 2022, Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure; 2024 designation as National Coordinator for the Security and Resilience of U.S. Critical Infrastructure. 2026, Information Sharing Protections were reauthorized by Congress.)
It's much stronger & more legally empowered than it was at its inception in 2018, and has a newly released 4 year roadmap.
But for some who've formerly worked for or with CISA's election teams in past years, election interference is always possible 'cause Trump & DOGE.
By mid-2025, nearly 1,000 CISA employees, roughly one-third of the agency’s workforce, had left or been removed from active service. True.
However, CISA relied on massive networks of federal contractors to handle everything from soup to nuts. They were rarely based in D.C., often working remotely from home and/or at regional tech hubs nationwide. When congressional watchdogs & agency defenders complain

about less staffing, they always mix fulltime civil servants with contract operations AND unneeded administrative positions and 'probationary hires' that DHS brought into federal service. (And not everyone who departed chose to leave contracting with the federal government nor were given the gate by CISA/DOGE. Many were reassigned to work for other federal agencies.)
The President leads the Executive Branch and is the only executive official elected by the entire nation. The elected position has authority to redirect agencies like CISA if/when it's believed the agency is overreaching or misallocating taxpayer resources. (Restructure departments, reallocate budgets, place officials on leave when necessary to align with the administration's goals.)
Former career officials & state administrators argue for an independent bureaucracy when it comes to national security & law enforcement.
State officials point to the Constitution which gives states the primary authority of managing elections. To them, Federal agencies exist to support them as partners, thus requiring "voluntary trust" on all sides.
And for all times, sour grapes towards PDT, Elon Musk & all not in step.

On Oct. 28, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office charged both men with two felonies: unlawful voting and identity theft.
Basis: During the Aug. 11 primary, Higby and O’Keefe allegedly went to four Hennepin County precincts and used the names of four registered voters without their permission. Some of those voters were deceased, and one had already voted. Neither man received a ballot or signed the vouching oath. Moriarty says giving false names and starting the process is enough for the charges, which she says are unrelated to their politics or costumes.
Penalties and next steps: Each charge carries up to five years, but Moriarty expects presumptive probation if they’re convicted. Both will be summoned rather than jailed, and their first court appearance is Nov. 16.
Response: Higby denies breaking any law and is fundraising on the case. O’Keefe’s group says no one voted and that the goal was to test Minnesota’s vouching law.

You could build little space stations that collect all the junk, then bring it all to an orbital recycling station, and refine it back into components that could be used to build and repair other orbital vehicles without needing to bring new material up from Earth.
Eh, who am I kidding. They'd just pretend they're recycling it and then throw it out anyway.

Starship uses methane and liquid oxygen. The plan is to have tankers in orbit to fuel trips to the moon. If water (ice deposits) is found to be abundant, production of liquid oxygen will be much easier than shipping it to the moon. Half of the production of fuel for missions to Mars would be solved.

I don't forsee China continuing to exist as a unified state much longer.
Yes, yes, thousands of years, blah de blah, but as a State they've only existed for a few generations. They can't continue on the trajectory they're on, and their perverse lazy idiot version of smash and grab authoritarianism, which frankly is infecting the entire world again these days, has proven time and time again to be less than helpful for a nation's longevity. The State can't change without ceding the fragile, fake, fear-based pseudo-legitimacy it still has, so it can't adapt. Which means, it will inevitably die.
So hopefully we only have to deal with the crooked little bastards shitting up our orbit for a few more generations.

The key to good propaganda is that it has some kernel of truth to it, and it's the skillful sleight of hand that bends that truth into a lie that's perceived as truth. (Heck, in some cases the point of propaganda is to replace an easy lie with a difficult truth... but that's not my point here)
Propaganda is not merely lying your face off. That's just called "Lying Your Face Off".

It's become very easy for "legacy" media outlets to tell bald faced lies and get no pushback. It's as if the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect has been short circuited, because that effect relies upon people having some level of expertise in at least one topic to use as their standard to perceive when a previously trusted source has just told them a naked lie.
If you don't know anything about anything, then you'll never be able to use that handy mechanism to escape the hamster-wheel of shiny idiots in business wear shouting nonsense at you as if it were holy writ, never to be questioned.

Hmm, a 22kW standby generator installed costs maybe $20k, as long as the state of California hasn't banned it. Ford Fathom supplies 10kW, costs $30k, doubles as transportation in case of emergency, and probably gets you a rebate in California. Nope, still not a good deal.

Maybe there's some new variant of Gell-Mann Amnesia that I'm falling prey to, here.
Your receptors can become too finely tuned to picking out even the trivial, inconsequential lies and errors in the daily fire hose of news-slop we're all subjected to against our will. (Why is there "news" on my damned refrigerator?!?!)
Then, when they drop a real top-shelf cutting-edge doozy of a clanking lie in your lap, it pegs your meter and flings you into the kind of tantrum that makes you look like a nutjob to any sane person with a life....
Call it the "Waraiotoko Bullshit Effect", I guess.

Radio Havana wasn’t too objectionable at all, at least during their top of the hour news roundup. It seemed to be relatively even handed and authoritative recounting world news. Their editorial stance was lunatic insane, but there was a clear and obvious demarcation.
This is modern “journalism” now for decades in the West. Puff piece, left wing twaddle, amateurish opinion pieces passed off as straight “news”.

A good evening and morning for a Thor's Day. satellites and satraps!
Microsoft is offering buyouts? I remember when my old employer did that back in about 2016. If I'd been prepared to retire then, I'd have grabbed it. They told us the package included assistance in finding a new job. I was the only one who asked, "What about if you want to relocate?" The people running the seminar looked at me as if I had two heads -- as if nobody would ever consider leaving Da Swamp.
Anyway! Whassup?

But they'll never consider axing the hundred odd people who created the situation where sixty thousand people had to be let go.

Happy Thursday, everyone. Time to share a nice story.
Dad got his disabled veteran plates and he and mom were having a tough time installing the front one. They finally ended up at the local AAA office. The kid working at the repair department asked if he could help. Once mom explained what was going on, he and brought out Allen Wrenches and put on the new plate in the front. Mom asked him what she owed and he said no charge.

Oh, my problem with time.gov vanished on its own. I checked my laptop at the coffee shop; still the same problem. The site worked fine on a library computer. Then, on my third refresh of the site (Command + R on a Mac), the actual times came back; same for my desktop. And so they have remained. Odd.
I did call up Spectrum and got their 1 Gb speed package, 2x my current setup, for $40/month less than I'm paying now. They're shipping me the modem/router; should be easy to hook up. Then I'll bring the old unit to one of their local offices. The lady I spoke with was in Kansas and was very sharp. A major improvement over customer "service" with the old firm, Cox.

The only people that are not exploited are govt. workers. In most cases, they are paid more than they are worth.

Microsoft was also the largest filer of PERM applications, the first step in the permanent labor certification process, according to Labor Department data.

You can buy three 3600w battery packs with 15amp inverters for about $3k. They can even be recharged from a vehicle with an internal combustion engine. One that can go get more fuel instead of sitting their like a brick.

The worst are when the entire review process is handled like all the engineers are working in the marketing department .. they give you the objectives of the marketing department and tell you to evaluate yourself based on metrics like company ROI.
Others will express their support (or lack thereof) thru the stock grant program. When you have to be in the top level to get a promotion, it pretty much signals when you might want to be ready to find the door.

This is the problem with the Yankees. Their team is built around two pillars: hitting home runs and striking opponents out. If they can't do that, they can't hit for contact, move from station to station, run the bases or field the ball.

You can run minimal house needs off a commodity 7500 W generator for quite a while for comparative pennies.
Inverter generator, which doesn't run at 3600RPM ALL THE TIME, of that class 1-2 gallons per hour. Some people use/store ethanol free gasoline since ethanol destroys small engines and their fuel lines. So what? $4/gallon? 24 hours, not doing laundry, not doing dishes, not taking long showers, not running the A/C—unless its a variable speed, LED lighting...
Still going to be a whole lot more expensive than a utility bill on a per/day basis, but yes, cheaper than an EV truck.
Ford did make a gasoline hybrid that people in Texas, during the Freeze-Out of Feb-2021 were using to power their homes for the week of intermittent (at best) power.

SpaceX has told the FAA it is planning for 10,000 launches per year.
Could you imagine their fuel bill?
Falcon-9:
• 350-380 metric tons of LOX
• 120-150 metric tons of RP-1 kerosene (40k-50k gallons)
• 500 metric tons of propellant
Falcon Heavy: 1300-1500 metric tons
Starship: > 4500 metric tons (based on load-out)

Wednesday Night ONT - October 28, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and fully stocked. Step up and place your order. JQ has the bar keys, so be nice.
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: Half price pumpkins before Halloween at Home Depot? Sign of the end times for sure.]1) Reese's Pieces - after Mars turned down the product placement opportunity for M&Ms, ET made Reece's Pieces famous in the 1982 film. They had only been introduced in 1978. The candy color mix is reportedly a mix of orange (50%), brown (25%), and yellow (25%). 2) Reese's Peanut Butter Cups - these consistently rank at or near the top by sales volume and revenue. They are the top candy by ounces sold and the top seller in 40 of 51 states plus Washington, D.C. Pretty good for a candy that was created in 1928. Remember the famous commercial: "You got chocolate in my peanut butter!/ You got peanut butter in my chocolate!"
Correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com where it will be sorted and processed and filed. Are you lurking ????

Christmas candy is displacing Halloween candy on the store shelves. Of course, trees and decor have been up for a couple of weeks now.
Looked everywhere and couldn't find a turkey tree. Such a mad rush from trick or treat to ho ho ho.

Reese's was acquired by Hersheys in the early 1960s. Over time Hersheys substituted cheap synthetic ingredients for the original recipe. "Chocolate compound covering" anyone?
They got called out for this a few years ago by one of the Reese family. The Hershey CEO sheepishly admitted the crappification of the product and vowed to restore the original standards.

Well, I found something AI is good at. I asked it to list occurrences where a gray Hyundai Tuscan was used to steal ATM machines and had a NJ Plate.
Besides the Pittsburgh one....another occurrence took place in Fairfield NJ (unsuccessful). And, another in Worcester, Mass. Same type vehicle. NJ plates...and they got away that time.
Apparently, this is an organized crime issue. And, they use stolen Hyundai's because they don't have an engine immobilizer (thus a walk in the park to steal).

No shame. I like them too but only around this time of the year. There's a reason they are still made despite what the candy snobs say. I even like the occasional circus peanut. They still make them too for some reason despite absolutely nobody liking them.

Neighbor texted me yesterday, that they're going hunting this weekend so their boys won't be treat or treating this weekend.
I'd already bought candy: special stuff for the boys, plus a bag of mixed goodies for anyone else that may show up.
So, I bagged a bunch of it and took over to the mom today. She said the boys were slightly bummed about missing out on candy, although they were excited to go hunting, and will doubtless appreciate the treats.
Wonderful neighbors. Great people.

Marines birthday is Nov 2.
One year, he asked for a peanut butter cup.
I found a recipe, and a false bottom shallow scalloped edge pan and made one. Melted good chocolate, made my own peanut butter cream. It was awesome. And quite large. Suffice to say, it was enough for the party.

Always have a small bowl of candy corn out this time of year. The extent of my seasonal decorating. Used to carve 2 pumpkins and answer the door on Halloween, but have become lazy.

Years ago I got shikwasa-flavored gummies on Okinawa (another east Asian citrus variety). Fantastic. Have never been able to find them on mainland Japan again. Or online.

Twix or Kit Kats for me as favorites. Hated Almond Joy.
We used to give out normal size bars and a huge bowlful or two. Very popular. I got tired of kids taller than me showing up with a lame pillowcase. Plus kids and parents driving up the mountain for the good stuff. We are done.
Most of the kids on the street are older now and we are bah humbug. Turn our porch light out and hide with most of the lights off watching tv til 8pm.
We do give stuff to our grands as we love them...not much candy, though as they get tons trick or treating.
It's been awhile since Halloween was on a Saturday. This one will be rocking! I remember one in college and always, always a kegger and total insanity. No one died, dropped a pitcher of beer, or harfed at my keggers. I don't know how but it's true.
I don't put out our fall wreaths til Nov. 1st due to the potential thug issue being mad at me for not answering the doorbell. We did our part for a decade, plus 30yrs in FL, and are retired from stranger's children.

I was too young to realize how funny it was at the time, but he kept a ball peen hammer in the kitchen utensil drawer to divvy out pieces. You had to let it sit for a while to soften (which is when we caught up). Very good stuff.

Sorry I'm late, the biology lab needed help. Apparently somebody misplaced some chicken named Abby's brain. We still hadn't found it when I left.

It's just a brain. How far could it get on its own? That doesn't sound normal.

We had zero trick-or-treaters last year, which was unusual. So in the spirit of hope, I got a couple small bags of M&Ms for the lil' goblins this year. If no one shows up, the goodies will be gobbled in-house.
I prefer my chocolate plain, unless it is Enstrom's Toffee, which is glorious! Thankfully, they ship world wide.

My favorite candy bars are Zero, Hershey's Special dark chocolate bar, and Chuckles, which are gum drops. The last time I bought Reese's Peanut Butter Cups they were awful. The filling had almost no peanut butter flavor. I do like licorice, red, black, and Allsorts.

My favourite is Coffee Crisp.
What bugs me though is how much the bars have shrunk in the last 20 years.

One of the highlights of the Hershey "Factory" tour is that you can design your own candy bar, which they will make during the tour. Then you can design your own label.

@NBCNews
Although Brazil's presidential election took place more than 4,000 miles away, the baseless conspiracy theory that it was stolen raced through the American right-wing media.

Does NOBODY at NBC have ANY journalistic integrity? Lol, yeah I know--that made you laugh! Just the same, let's explore the errors in this less-than-100-characters tweet:
* "Although Brazil's presidential election took place more than 4,000 miles away...": You're NBC FRICKING NEWS--are you pretending that your entire organization can't perform accurate and detailed research regarding something "more than 4,000 miles away"? What the hell? From AI:
AI Overview
The longest road distance between two cities/points in the contiguous (continental) United States stretches approximately 3,689 miles...
So NBC basically says that if it didn't take place in the continental United States that THEY aren't competent to report on it and nobody else can either???
* "...the baseless conspiracy theory that it was stolen raced through the American right-wing media". How could a story that isn't even 36 hours old be declared "baseless" by a supposed media outlet?

In junior high and HS at school, 50 in each class, total of 200 in HS, we had a "store" for recess. We could buy candy and Coke and other stuff. I think pencils but no one bought those.
A friend in junior high got a Reese's Peanut Butter cup with a worm in it and I haven't eaten one since. She also used to buy a packet of peanuts to put in her Coke. I never figured that out. I got a Coke and chips.
A junor high or HS kid ran the place behind a half door and were fine, upstanding students, unlike me.
Special Ed shared the junior high bldg with us, which made it more exciting.
One guy who had googly eyes rode the school bus with us. Older and pervy. Lived on a chicken farm and often had chicken poop on his arm on the bus, which was hideous.
My friend's older college brother drove one year and Charles had to sit on the front seat behind the driver. He still tried to look up our dresses and we'd yell at Jimmy (driver) and he'd wearily tell Charles to turn around. It was hard to tell which eyeball was actually looking cause they rolled around.
I'm sorry this tangented out of the candy bar discussion. Reese's cups brought the memories back.

Necco Wafers for sure, but never saw Canada Mints. Could be a regional thing.
This thread is making me want some evil sweets. All I have is good Japanese chocolate and some good Alaska Airlines chocolate. Guess I'll survive.
In Japan Kobe (and not just that city) has amazing confectionery companies, usually with German or Russian names. European-style chocolate with Japanese precision and packaging. See's Candy is a big hit there because it's a very different chocolate recipe than Belgian, French or Italian, and of course because it's American, and hard to get. Always the standard gift when visiting.

I had the Koof last fall and my tastebuds are still out of whack. A staffer at dialysis said it took two years for hers to revert to normal. I was a very serious chocoholic but it just doesn't taste right, no matter the form. So I've pretty much given up on it. And, sadly, chocolate isn't the only problem; practically everything tastes not good. On the plus side I've lost enough weight that I had to buy a whole new winter wardrobe.

The Big Twelve decided to make its life more difficult:
"The Big 12's conduct policy at athletic events will now include an automatic minimum $100,000 fine and a warning after a first confirmed incident. A second incident at the same game will result in an in-game penalty, such as a 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty in football or a two-shot technical foul in basketball."
How stupid. We're now affecting the outcome of an athletic event because 1 or 10 or 100 people in the crowd want to shout something that was the not-polite equivalent of "Screw the Mormans"? Really, are entire athletic departments supposed to be on alert about what their crowds might chant?
I can't wait to the completely-unpredictable outcome where a berth in the college football playoffs is more or less determined because 25 college kids chanted something and a penalty or foul was called.
Is EVERYONE in college sports just *retarded*?

Just before I left the east coast for 'splodier climes, See's had started to rent empty mall store space and have stores open from Black Friday to Christmas. Just pre-packed boxes, not choose-your-own. Imagine they did pretty well. And airports in the west used to have See's kiosks.
The See's factory in SF is near the airport, and even closer to the national cemetery. Some time I'm going to drop by that location on the way to see Nimitz's grave at the cemetery (and Turner's, and Spruance's, and Lockwood's, I think, all together).
Stopped by that factory on a ski trip once and saw a tanker (spotless) pull up and connect a hose to the huge "Milk Chocolate" connection out front.

It's funny, half the candy I pretended to like as a kid, I actually didn't. I ate it because it was frowned upon.
Necco Wafers we played Holy Communion with. Any other Catholic schoolers?

You are a sweetheart. For some shifts in hospitals that might serve as dinner for most of the staff.
In the ED someone would make popcorn, put it in a bedpan in a kitchen, and we'd go to town as we passed by. I always liked the vessel chosen.
If an ED doc bought pizza on a horrible night we were like honeybadgers. There was no time for dinner as it was that insane. I look back now and honestly don't know how we did it. I'd still trust any of them with my life or those I loved. It was a great experience for five years and I was honored to be a part of that group. Some saw me years later and about knocked me down with hugs when I appeared to say hi.
It's possibly a little known fact for many that nurses sometimes used to forget to pee it can be so busy til the end of the shift. Bladders? What are they?

A nice thing happened to me yesterday. I was buying a lottery ticket ( which I rarely do expect when it gets very high) I put in the money. It now costs $3.00 and I don't have dollar bills so I put in a $5.00 but had wandered away and forgotten I had extra money. This was 6:00 inthe morning . A man waiting to use the lottery
Found me and said "You have extra money left over on the machine. " I thought that was very honest of it. He could have used it on himself but didn't. I won $5.00 so I hope I might see him again so I can pay him back.

Sees is insanely good, but I never get the prepackaged boxes, and if someone gets me one, I feel disappointed. Their fudge is the best. Chocolate Creams verrry good. Victoria Toffee aaghhh (Homer Simpson salivating sound). Others, I know what they are but I don't know the names.
Fredericksburg Fudge in Texas to my sadness has disappeared, into some outfit called "Sweet Fred" that I haven't tried yet. Their Black Forest Fudge is sold out right now, but I'm on the notification list when they make more. I intend to try it out against a copycat recipe.

With regard to local candy, Chicago has Frangos, which are chocolate-covered mints. For years, they were sold by the late Marshall Field's. I don't know if they're still available; but they were awfully good.
In Ontario (yes, I know, Canada, but bear with me), the Laura Secord chain of candy shops sells something called "almond bark", which is a slab of white chocolate with lots of almonds embedded in it. If you're a fan of white chocolate, like I am (which of course makes me a racist), almond bark is outstanding: I have to stay away from it, or I'll eat myself sick.
And I have to mention my wife, the lovely and accomplished Annalucia, who makes a version of almond joys but with dark rather than milk chocolate. Outstanding! But available only to our friends and family.

Alas, Laura Secord is much harder to get in Canada, with all the store closures. And they're not shipping to the States. Better for my waistline, though.

Another example of tone-deafness:
Why does MLB's Commisioner's Trophy get handed to the team owner first? Nobody knows who that is. Nobody cares. Nobody cares when he dedicates this win to his wife Debbie.
The BREWERS won the World Series. "The Brewers" are interpreted by the general public to be the 25 players on the World Series roster, their head coach, and...maybe...another coach or two. None of us give a crap about who owns that team.
I hope he enjoyed his 5 minutes. I'm sorry I sat through it, and I don't even recall his name.

Today I got out of the shower to hear some alarms, sort of like our smoke alarms, & a voice repeating something twice that sounded like my voice. I had a second to think, "Is this the radon gas alarm, oh, lawsie."
I yelled for my dude, no answer. He had my phone downstairs doing something to it so I had no phone nearby like I usually do.
Our house is very big and you can't hear each other, even on the same floor as the walls or thick (I guess). I threw on my nightgown to go find him, thinking he was outside. About that time he wandered inside with me yelling on the deck.
He'd gone out to check his tomatoes, without his phone, & didn't turn off the burglar alarm. I started getting texts from the alarm company *just* before they called the law. I wanted to kill him and tell the alarm people, yes, come get him as he's burgled my brain this morning.
I guess he sashayed outside completely oblivious. Which he's never done before. He was apparently downstairs in the basement & had to see his tomatoes while I was upstairs. He may soon have a leash if this happens again.
The police would have arrived to see me po'd in my nightgown with wet hair & him yammering about his tomatoes.

Mmmm... Abba Zabba's cousin Big Hunk was my favorite of all - a flat bar of hard nougat with peanuts sprinkled throughout. When I moved from California to New York umpty years ago, I discovered to my horror that you could not get either of those candy bars, or the others that Annabelle made (Rocky Road and Look), on the East Coast. A West Coast friend shipped me an Annabelle assortment for Christmas, but they arrived all melted and yucky, having gotten too warm in transit and leaked out of their wrappers and into the box itself. The same friend later sent me a refrigerated shipment of another assortment, and they were good, but not good enough to spend a day's salary on to procure! Looks like these candy bars still exist. If you have cavity-proof teeth, I highly recommend all of them.

Banana Ball is the way to sort out who *really* likes excellence in a sport versus those that aren't that selective. Its akin to those people who a decade ago pretended to like women's basketball rather than any of the men's versions--"they just try so hard".
Yeah, and its *terrible*. The best baseball in the world takes place in the Major Leagues, even if their owners and commissioners are absolutely clueless.
The best basketball takes place in the NBA, even if they too are clueless and readily willing to fellate China and the Arab Emirates.

I woke to a text from my bro that our 95yr old mother was going to not need sitters once she's home from rehab and the glue repair of a fractured lumbar vertebra. Her royal decree. She's alert and was living independently. I said, nope to this. A case manager also said nope and that was a relief as she will have sitters the rest of her life at home.
Then the talking alarm just about did me in.

For those results are you depending on "moderate fraud" or "a crazy level of fraud"?

237 I ignore my neighbors but talk to their dogs. It gets awkward
Posted by: NCKate
I nearly got in trouble last week for talking to someone's cat. I ride my bike over the same 12 mile route about 3 times a week. I always carry dog and cat treats and have some steady customers when they are outside. The owners are fine with it. There's a pretty tuxedo cat who was always skittish and would run when I got close, but this time it was laying out by the end of her driveway and I stopped to talk to it and see if it wanted a treat. I was in the road and not on the property. Just then the lady of the house drives up with a scowl on her face saying, "Are you looking for me?" I kind of laughed and said no, I was talking to your cat. I could tell she didn't believe me and I wonder just who she is hiding from. Awkward and weird, but amusing.

In today's further adventures with the Honda generator, I was able to get it to run with the ignition module driven by the generator's own "twelve volt" output. It would not start that way; had to connect a 12 volt battery to start it, but once running, the battery could be disconnected. The 12 volt output makes only about a 0.25 volts at cranking speed. Unfortunately, I metered it at 17.6 volts at normal running speed, with no load. That's a little salty for the long-term health of the HEI module, I would wager. Not to worry. I have on hand some little adjustable IC buck regulators. I will build one in, along with a filter network to smooth the DC from the bridge rectifier, and probably also a 12 volt pilot lamp, to serve as evidence the battery is charged. And I ordered a small 12 volt AGM battery from Amazon for 20 Loonie dollars, which will become part of the finished machine. It ought to last years, being asked to put out an amp or two for less than half a minute, and then being put on float charge for as long as the generator runs.

It would not start that way; had to connect a 12 volt battery to start it, but once running, the battery could be disconnected. The 12 volt output makes only about a 0.25 volts at cranking speed.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 29, 2026 12:37 AM (Asc1p)
So If I'm following right, it isn't producing enough voltage during cranking to power the ignition. We have those problems with certain hot rodded harley engines with big compression. Most of the ignitions won't power up below 9 volts, and with bigger compression the starter will draw the battery below the 9 volt mark and they don't fire. There was a device we used to wire in that had two 9 volt batteries in parallel so the ignition always had the voltage needed. That came out with better cures since then. Now we use a relay that applies battery voltage right to the ignition during cranking. Did you figure out why its only producing 1/4 volt during cranking?

Because the force cranking it is my left elbow? It's a permanent-magnet alternator, like you find under the flywheel of a Japanese single motorcycle. There is no regulation at all, and like any dynamo, voltage output is a function of RPM. I'm using a GM HEI module as my spark controller, and they are designed to run off a 12 volt battery. There is another winding, called the "exciter winding" that puts out 3 to 5 volts AC at cranking speed, but I really doubt there would be enough current to run the HEI if I used a transformer to step it up to 12 volts.
But the little puppy runs nice and quiet.

The differences between an apprentice, a journeyman, and a master...
They *all* make mistakes, BUT handle them thusly:
Apprentice, must ask a journeyman to help him correct it.
Journeyman can fix it himself.
Master, will convince all that he *intended* it that way.

For the Harley problem: find an ultracapacitor that can be charge up to 12.6 volts, and hold enough juice to operate the ignition module for say 5 seconds. Connect that right to the ignition module (and ground, of course). Feed that from the ignition switch via a diode.
Key on, ultracap charges up, ignition module sees 12.6 volts. Crank engine, voltage sags, but ultracap maintains 12.6 volts to module. If engine fails to start on first go-round, ultracap recharges in a few seconds with key on.
Downside? Shut key off, engine continues to run for 5 seconds until ultracap is discharged. Adding a relay would solve that.

I'm not expecting too much of a crowd for Halloween, the neighborhood has changed and there aren't so many kids. For a few years we had all sorts of foreign children dropped off by vans to trick or treat on our street.

Same here, Debby. All the children have grown up or moved away, except for the near neighbors' boys... who will be hunting instead of TT this weekend.
I took some candy to them this afternoon, so the boys will have their sugar-fix anyway.
There may or may not be other kids from down the road, I'm not sure who lives at the far end anymore.
Certainly, there won't be any 'drop offs' from elsewhere, as houses are too far apart for making quick scores/big hauls of candy, out here.

Italian police arrested the person who was a chief organizer of the riots. A judge released him. Meloni called the act 'shameful',saying,
"I think this is an unbearable humiliation of the work of the police and investigators," she said in a video posted on social media.
"I really don't know how a normal state can defend decent people in the face of these decisions by certain sections of the judiciary,".
The court judges rebuked her, saying, - Meloni's remarks were "unacceptable", reflecting what they described as "a poor understanding, whether real or feigned, of the legal institutions of a state governed by the rule of law".

And they would derive from some ridiculously high energy conditions where, topologically, spacetime would not be "simply connected".

I need to quit thinking about this stuff for a while, I think. I nearly sprained my brain trying to get my head wrapped around "topological defects" in spacetime that might have formed in the early universe. These things would be sort of "kinks" in spacetime. And they would derive from some ridiculously high energy conditions where, topologically, spacetime would not be "simply connected".

I don't think about any of it. I read a book on particle physics one time and my head hurt for a week, and I never get headaches. I look at the stars and I remember some old philosophy quote "I see, therefore it is". Fuck it.

I very vulnerable to "nerd sniping", a term I only recently stumbled on, and it comes from the xkcd comic. Throw some deep problem (math, physics, etc) at a nerd, and he stops what he's doing, becomes totally distracted, and obsesses over the problem.
Apparently that has real life inspiration. Some mathematician was posed some question and he just stopped and started thinking about it, and nearly got run over in traffic.

She's still a global warming enthusiast and thoroughly a product of the Left Wing campus environment. However, she seems to actually be able to do math which doesn't lend itself to the Narrative. She may have been red pilled by some e mail she got from a colleague urging her to shut up because whatever she was saying wasn't helpful. She made a video about it. It's kind of a crazy video, I'll see if I can find a link.

>> Maybe a presentation us commoners
could understand?
Simply connected means in a space, you can shrink a closed loop down to a point without hitting anything. Non simply connected, you can't. Well, I don't know how rigorous that definition is, but that's the gist of it.
Now imagine the surface of a donut, a torus. Imagine a loop going around the outside surface. You can't shrink it down to a point. And imagine another loop on the very inside, going around the hole. You can't shrink that down.
There are other loops you can make that you can't shrink down, but many loops you can't.
The topology prevents that loop from contracting. This has profound constraints on the way physics fields can work on that space.

I first saw that "nerd sniping" thing with something about the "chain fountain" behavior (look that up, it's mind blowing).
There was some disagreement on some of the nitty-gritty of what was going on, just how the forces worked. That could be settled by doing some experiments with little chains in zero-g.
They got Don Pettit to do it aboard the ISS on his last stint, and succeeded because he was a sucker for nerd sniping.

That got me. LOL. But I cheated and looked it up. The exact solution to that is the equivalent resistance is (4/pi - 1/2).
And this is the discrete equivalent of the capacitance/resistance of a continuous medium, which Laplace's equation governs. It has nice solutions in 3D, well-behaved and allows for a "resistance to a ground plane at infinity" to be defined. The notion of "resistance to ground" of a ground rod is just this, approximating the earth as a infinite conducting medium.
Howeve, it 2D, because of the way Laplace's equation works, that thing diverges at infinity. The resistance between two points is finite, but the resistance to ground is infinite in 2D. In 3D it's finite as well.

Well, you could get some apples and pears... or put cut-up veggies into zip bags...
But, where's your Halloween spirit? I mean, there are the commercial aspect, an eco-granola-healthy-eating aspect and an extra-dietary-fiber aspect that must be introduced to the people ...
Heck, it's probly cheaper to just buy candy.
I guess that you don't really get into Dark Ops, do you.

Reminds me of the dude at work, that had these 5 kanji symbols tattooed on his arm. Swore that they "spelled [his] name" LMAO!
I tried to explain that kanji didn't work like that...
"OH, NO! THAT SPELLS MY NAME! _ _ _ _ _!"
Uh, yeah ok, sure bud... that spells your name. *snort!*
(Wonder what it *really* said?)

Could have been katakana? That's sort of angular and pointy like kanji, and it's used to "spell" foreign loan words and names. Or maybe it's some weird self-made mash-up of the sound-reading of each kanji that vaguely resembles the guy's name? That would be super weird though. Like a Chinese dude with "Ching Chong" tattooed on his back but the g's are 9's, or something....

There's a defunct blog called "hanzismatter" that answered questions about misused kanji/hanzi characters. He found out there was a "tattoo manual" that gave kanji-to-English-letter "translations" that were completely made up.

It got to the point where 4 out of 5 of his posts were about tattoos that used that book.

Kanji is super weird. There's a generic "this is the sound it makes" reading, the "this is the original Chinese meaning" reading, the "this is the Japanese meaning", and the "This is the japanese word for what the ideogram literally means in Chinese when you read it as its individual components, regardless of what it means in Chinese now" reading. And I think some even have a "screw it, it can sound like this too because why not" reading. I'm sure i'm butchering all that, but it's that sort of thing, and each way of reading a character has a name in Japanese and the hell i'm going to actually remember what any of those names are.
So one character can be read a whole bunch of different ways depending on context.

Means "strength" or "honor?"

It means "queer tattoo....."

mikeski-- that looks plausible. Except for the "t"-- not enough brush-strokes there.
All of his "letters" looked so complex... but what do I know? I can't read kanji, after all.

Why get your own name tattooed on yourself in a foreign language/script, even if you did manage to do it correctly?
Are you worried you might get bonked on the head and wake up Japanese and have no idea what your name is?
Imagine waking up with amnesia but you're Japanese now, and you look down and see "Dave" tattooed on your arm and you think "Well shit, I guess I'm gay."

That drunk man vs drunk bird thing is the "random walk" problem (which is related to diffusion). You start out at a point. You take a step of some finite distance, just say 1 unit in a random direction. And you keep doing that with each step. One unit is random direction. That models a drunk.
Now, ask the question. What is the probability that the drunk will get to some destination point? That is, if he starts out at point A, will he ever get to point B? For 1 and 2 dimensions, that probability is 100%. It may take a loooongg time, infinite in fact, but it's certain the drunk will get to any other chosen point in the space.
Now, for 3D and higher, that probability drops off. In 3D space, the probability, even after an infinite number of steps of getting to point B is only 1/3.
And all that is the same problem as the infinite grid of resistors.

The joke in Washington during the Manhattan project, you could always tell when Niels Bohr was soon going to show up at your office soon, because you’d hear brakes howling and tires screeching. He was well known to be absent minded, the security services tailed these guys and wrote that he seemed to pay no attention or regard to traffic. He needed his wife to keep his clothes straight, he would show up for work at the T-area at Los Alamos with horribly mismatched clothes, and a Jethro Bodine style rope-belt when she was out of town.

A man knocked down a basement wall, finding a 2,000-year-old underground city
Chasing his chickens through a hole in his basement during renovations came across an abandoned underground city that once housed 20,000 people The ancient city of Elengubu, known today as Derinkuyu https://t.co/0y5SxlSUP9— Massimo (@Rainmaker1973) October 28, 2026
More than 85m beneath the famous fairy chimneys of Cappadocia lies a massive subterranean city that was in near-constant use for thousands of years.
Violent gusts whipped loose soil into the air as I hiked through Cappadocia's Love Valley. Pink- and yellow-hued hillsides coloured the rolling landscape scarred with deep red canyons, and chimneystack rock formations loomed in the distance. It was arid, hot, windy and devastatingly beautiful. Millennia ago, this volatile, volcanic environment naturally sculpted the spires surrounding me into their conical, mushroom-capped shapes, which now draw millions of visitors to hike or hot-air balloon in the central Turkish region. But beneath Cappadocia's crumbling surface, a marvel of equally gargantuan proportions lay hidden away for centuries; a subterranean city that could conceal the whereabouts of up to 20,000 inhabitants for months at a time. The ancient city of Elengubu, known today as Derinkuyu, burrows more than 85m below the Earth's surface, encompassing 18 levels of tunnels. The largest excavated underground city in the world, it was in near-constant use for thousands of years, changing hands from the Phrygians to the Persians to the Christians of the Byzantine Era. It was finally abandoned in the 1920s by the Cappadocian Greeks when they faced defeat during the Greco-Turkish war and fled abruptly en masse to Greece. Not only do its cave-like rooms stretch on for hundreds of miles, but it's thought the more than 200 small, separate underground cities that have also been discovered in the region may be connected to these tunnels, creating a massive subterranean network. According to my guide, Suleman, Derinkuyu was only "rediscovered" in 1963 by an anonymous local who kept losing his chickens. While he was renovating his home, the poultry would disappear into a small crevasse created during the remodel, never to be seen again. Upon closer investigation and some digging, the Turk unearthed a dark passageway. It was the first of more than 600 entrances found within private homes leading to the subterrestrial city of Derinkuyu.

BREAKING: Colleague @davidspunt reports via two sources familiar that there is an ongoing DOJ "aggressive criminal investigation" into Daniel J. Sullivan appearing on the ballot for US Senate in Alaska, and the investigation has intensified in the wake of the bombshell NYT report today.
DOJ sources tell David that multiple grand jury subpoenas will be issued in the coming hours and days, and there are preservation orders to cell phone companies that are being prepared regarding text messages and emails that may build a timeline for how Daniel J. Sullivan was placed on the ballot.
The investigation is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Alaska and federal prosecutors are interested in potential charges relating to the depravation of rights of Alaska voters. The investigation is expected to go beyond Election Day and has been underway for several months.

Derinkuyu was only "rediscovered" in 1963 by an anonymous local who kept losing his chickens. While he was renovating his home, the poultry would disappear into a small crevasse created during the remodel, never to be seen again.
==================
Great setup for a horror flick about ghost chickens.

Damn, those people diving into the water from crazy places are darwin awards waiting to happen. I know 2 people, friends of mine who died doing that. One was a kid I went to school with. 1 day after graduation. They were jumping off a bridge. He misjudged the jump, and broke his head open like a melon when he hit a chunk of concrete under the surface. The next one was a few years later. He jumped off a cliff a little over 100 feet up at some quarry. Never surfaced. Divers had to find his body. People are frigging nuts.

Skateboard height jumping dude ain't going to live long based on his choice to jump into boulders under the water from that bridge. He was lucky.

Lawyer-client privilege. Democrats use law firms to hide dirty political jobs. Reason why Marc Elias worked at Perkins Cooie before they parted ways. Perkins Cooie reported had its own SCIF where Democrat operatives who were also contractors for the FBI used NSA and other classified databases to spy on GOP members of Congress, GOP political operatives, donors etc.
Smith took it a step further during his quest to put Trump in jail and included even people buying MAGA hats and small time donors number thousands of people.
Democrats are basically using national security databases to spy on GOP and anyone getting in their way. And corrupt pieces of shit GOPe operatives like former senator from NC Richard Burr knew this (Senate intel chair and ranking member before retiring). Burr kept quiet because he used similar data to get his family generational wealth through trading and investments.

Puff and Ruth to the vet today for their annual exam and shots. Considering they're both wild children, they behaved fine. They were found to be in good health. Doc is always amazed at how clean everyone's teeth are.
I'd like to think our vet wished all her clients were like us. Our dogs are well taken care of, well maintained and well socialized. We can discuss problems and solutions intelligently. And if the time comes, we accept it and stay with them to the end.

85 I never saw much daylight between Robert Maxwell and Rupert Murdoch. They were both running tabloid trash papers in London.
The only difference is that we know the geo-coordinates of the pedo island for the first one's family.
Posted by: 88C+u
=====
We know Maxwell was also an intel asset for at least two spy agencies, mebbe three. CIA and MI-6 used him and his academic publishing company as a conduit to Leonid Brezhnev as Maxwell published some of Brezhnev's writings and as a result Maxwell got to spend alone time with him.
Given his state funeral in Israel attended by high ranking officials of Israel after his death, would not be surprised that he was a Mossad asset on occasion as well.
Ghislaine is just the type that would slide into Maxwell's role.
The Murdoch family probably also has intel ties. Rupert had a Hong Kong wife, Wendi Deng, at one time, had Saudi Prince bin Talal as a major silent investor, and Mick Jagger's ex Jerry Hall among others. Now married to a former Russian. Dumped a fiance in between hall and the Russian due to the fiance being a strong Christian which gave Rupert heebie jeebies.

nope, seattle. and that's a fact. Seattle was prone to flooding so they re-graded the city and buried the first two (?) floors of buildings under fill and made the old third story "street level."

Bradbury Bldg. the one from original Blade Runner? It's right across the street from the Grand Central Market in LA, which is worth visiting (lots of good Mexican and other cuisines, pretty authentic).
Without any arrangements at all you can walk in the Bradbury and look around (ground floor) during regular business hours. There are also tours by arrangement. Just walking in and looking up/around you get the bulk of the Blade Runner thing.

Benjamin Netanyahu - @netanyahu
Translated from Hebrew
Likud:
The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters.
The Likud party is transferring to the police, the Shin Bet, and the
Central Elections Committee hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence
envelopes with cash and Ra'am slips, threats and violence against polling station members, multiple voting behind the curtain, voting with double identities, discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters, the use of prohibited mobilization software, and more.
We demand from the police and the Shin Bet a thorough investigation into the election theft by the Arab parties and the full prosecution of the criminals.
We demand from the Central Elections Committee an immediate response to investigate these criminal offenses that have severely damaged the integrity of the elections in Israel and the election results.

Why do Arabs even have a party in Israel?
Posted by: fd at October 28, 2026 08:12 PM (MWfyi)
Because there are a lot of arabs who live in Israel.

I think they are on their third iteration of Underground Atlanta. Version one got did in by crime, Version two, ditto as no one wanted to go downtown to that area as there were safer places to party, now they are on Version three.

The parties are aimed at grifting and destruction of the Jewish state. Sooner or later, the Arabs figure the left will get desperate enough to join with the Arabs to get a majority coalition.

Thanks Ben Had, yep, what we call absentee they call double-envelope (for a similar arrangement with the registration info outside, "privacy" envelope with ballot inside).
Thanks Braenyard, meant to post that Bibi statement. It's pretty strong and specific by Israeli standards. Reports that Israeli intel/LE tracking down the source of the payments. Not entirely clear on Bibi's implication here. Most Arab Israelis vote for Arab parties, historically. So he either means bribed to vote, period, or bribed to vote for one particular Arab party.
Think preliminary estimate for turnout was in high 70s%.

"What are Druze? Are they muslim or something else?"
A question left open pretty intentionally by the Druze themselves. Pretty rational approach over the centuries of various sects over-running the area. In Israel the Druze are well integrated some of the few Arabs who serve in police and IDF. Bibi made a fairly explicit public security guarantee to the Druze of southern Syria - who often demonstrate with Israeli flags and portraits of Bibi. Obviously there's zero trust, or should we say an abundance of caution, with regard to the new Syrian regime.
Bedouin Arabs also serve in the IDF. Some of the Israeli heroes of 10/7 were Druze and Bedouin.

The Druze speak Arabic and follow a variant of Islam, but they're always categorized separately from Arabs.

The underground city thing is cool but if it only fell out of use in the 1920s, wouldn't there still have been people around that knew it was there when it was "rediscovered " in 1963? Seems unlikely that everyone could forget an underground city that housed 20,000 people in just 43 years.

Hadash: Communists
Ta'al: Sort of in-between those others

PLUS I had a suprise nap during a TV show, upright and normal. Just dropped off the planet. Dude had to say my name a few times. I reckon the month's long insomnia has reached the peak and I will start having narcolepsy.
I was thinking this when lyft Rashad picked me up...
Have read at least twice about young girls getting into a car alone with a strange man, thinking he was their lyft or uber driver.
I have to assme they both were totally inebriated. Both guys said my name after they rolled down the rearview mirror. You get notification with a photo of the car, etc.
A real stupid way to die,girls.
I'll bet ole Rashad is still mad at me as his ego seemed fragile. At least he did not go snack bar on me or drive to another state. I told my husband about the 40min hwy tale he told me (the first guy got me there in 17min going my shortcuts). I may be blonde but I ain't stoopit.
I went along with it as wth, I'm not in danger yet and started reading.
I did like when he said, "I am an expert driver" like Rain Man. I didn't laugh.
Maybe he thought I was kidnapping him! I should have rebel yelled on arrival.

The underground city thing is cool but if it only fell out of use in the 1920s, wouldn't there still have been people around that knew it was there when it was "rediscovered " in 1963? Seems unlikely that everyone could forget an underground city that housed 20,000 people in just 43 years.

Hazy memory but I think there were some Israeli kinetics agin' the bedouin elements Damascus was mobilizing against the Druze. Other than that, intimidation (credible, for obvious reasons), and arms and training to the Syrian Druze in the area. All vaguely recalled or imagined. That is, better than most "reporting" you'll find.

Hey, Paul. It's been a minute. God bless you.
I know you're grinding out a wage, typing what you are told to type (but really copy/paste, amirite?). But there is a better way.
You joke about transgenders, but these are human beings. What is more important? The most vulnerable, hopeless people, confused people, are being told to castrate themselves, mutilate themselves.
Why do you think only old people care about that? Do you have any children? Can you have any children? Imagine your only child being brainwashed into self-castration and eliminating the joy of being a parent and you becoming a grandparent? Is that not an existential level of evil?
God is waiting. I have prayed for you.

runner, that's what I alluded to up above - Bibi's statement was pretty detailed and strong.
Have no idea what the software bit is about.
Do know that there should be no software or electronics of any kind involved with the voting process. At most, electro-mechanical card readers. Paper ballots. Hand counts (except for the case just mentioned).
There is literally no reason or defense for electronics involved in the voting process (possibly in checking registrations or IDs, but not in the voting or tabulation itself). It's one of the most absurd and pernicious indefensible things in the world today, which is a high bar.

What if the Druze are actually the real Islam? We know that "Mohammed" did not exist. He was created to legitimize the Caliphs after the fact.
And by "real Islam" I mean "closer to the Christian heresy that became Islam" than the present version, which went through a major revision and burning of books to clean everything up.

gp, that's what I was referring to. Properly used - and always backed-up by a hand count if needed - punch cards and readers offer no potential for f***ery.
Recall (well, it's a closely held secret, if you quizzed the country) that the initial final result announced by the FL SecState election night *was in fact the correct result*. Subsequent independent recounts confirmed this.
Those kinds of machines can be checked and calibrated without limit. Their accuracy can be checked constantly. Their results cannot be altered electronically.
One of the things that made the FL case a fiasco, and which ultimately led to SCOTUS shutting it all down, was the ridiculous idea of "curing" or figuring out voter intent. Nope. Never. The fucking voter has 100% responsibility to vote properly. Period. Election officials aren't even clerks, they're automatons. Any unclear or improperly marked/punched ballot is either void in its entirety, or those sections improperly done are void.
Those who want to be able to steal elections want to have such outrages as "curing", etc. included. Nope. Self-disenfranchisement of a voter by his own errors is not a public interest.

Although Brazil's presidential election took place more than 4,000 miles away, the baseless conspiracy theory that it was stolen raced through the American right-wing media.
N-BS and their cohorts (C-BS, A-BS, PBS...) have been quite good at collecting conspiracy theories and claiming they're the truth, while calling things done by the Dems and the Left (BIRM) as conspiracy theories. It's almost like they're the spokesholes of commies in the US, like a 5th column...except they aren't secretive about it.

Ok...over the years and other recipes I've perfected it but will try the crock pot o' onions this winter mentioned Sunday. Also a trick to carmelize the onions in the oven vs stirring. I've always used sliced red onions as that was the original I tried as a newlywed.
Once you have your onions carmelized & are adding beef broth, add at least 1/2 cup white wine as well. You can also use wine to deglaze the pan of onions as more wine never hurt anyone. Add herbes de provence. I never measure, but about .5-1 TBS to to your taste.
Before adding the onions/broth to the oven-proof soup bowl, put 1 TBS cognac or brandy on the bottom of the bowl & proceed with onions/broth and slice of bread and shredded Guyere cheese til it browns in broiler.
I don't know what magic the cognac does, but it works for me.

A.H., I still don’t buy the idea that Mohammed didn’t exist. I think that he was an actual person that a lot of weird legends accrued around, for whatever reasons.

But what is that based on? Go ahead, try to find a single contemporaneous source talking about Mohammed. There are none. Gibbon pointed this out more than 200 years ago. It's a known problem.
Pick a conqueror. There's always some dude who had dinner with him. The Byzantine Empire was a thing, and do you think some Greek dude wasn't dying to meet the guy ravaging the eastern provinces? Do you think the great conqueror didn't want to have his story told by his enemies? We have first-hand accounts of Atilla the Hun at dinner. Why are there zero accounts of Mohammed doing...anything?
It's funny how there are still retarded "Akshually, Jesus didn't exist" articles when Mohammed is much more problematic.
Oh, and why did "Islamic era" coins still have Christian symbols on them?

There are some good vids on EweToob about it, and how contemporaneous sources don't mention him, and even hundreds of years later, how Islam was portrayed by the first crusaders doesn't exactly fit.

Ukraine is over 5000 mils away and the Ldft supported the allegation that Russia stole the election which led to the 2014 coup.
Even though the elected government agreed to have another early international monitored election. The first election was monitored also but it didn't matter either to the CIA and Ukrainian crooks.

N-BS and their cohorts (C-BS, A-BS, PBS...) have been quite good at collecting conspiracy theories and claiming they're the truth, while calling things done by the Dems and the Left (BIRM) as conspiracy theories. It's almost like they're the spokesholes of commies in the US, like a 5th column...except they aren't secretive about it.

Thank you. Copied and printing and will go into my recipe file. I will give it a try.
My mom's dad was from Switzerland so it's entirely possible that genes force me to find a reason to eat gruyere. New Years is always a cheese fondue night.
But I could pretty much live on a great onion soup, fresh baked bread and gruyere. Ok, the occasional rib eye, lobster and maybe some other stuff. But I do love onion soup.

Just treat the false prophet as if he were an actual historical figure and move on, pointing out how false his teachings were.

Well, kinda. I do have a history major focusing on the Middle Ages.
But the burden of proof is on Islamic scholars, not on me. Show me the documents! Edward Gibbon exposed all of this more than two centuries ago. Are you saying Gibbon didn't do research into ancient sources? That he didn't know Greek or Latin?
Every frickin' Easter some retarded atheist scholar says Jesus didn't exist, and we have to dump the immense volume of material showing that He did. Not just the Gospels but Roman records that are far from favorable.
No such scrutiny is given to Mohammed. It's time we stopped being pussies and just called the whole thing out: show us this guy. Meet the Jesus standard of proof.

Jack...you are very welcome. We love it also.
I love fall/winter and cooking. Am not a summer cook with any enthusiasm.
Fall/winter/snow does it for me. I must be a throwback to Scots Highlanders as my love of mountains and snow has baffled my entire family in MS since I went to college here. I'm Scots-Irish-French-English.
I loved living 1/4mi from the Atlantic for 20yrs (and 1/4mi from the Intracoastal Waterway aka Indian River) in FL. Great place to raise our babies and we moved there when they were 2yrs and newborn. Baby took his first steps in the sand. The second he heard the surf he was out for a nap before he got to the beach. It was grand to live on that barrier island.
However, the mountains are what we love most. And we're back for 11yrs after meeting 50yrs ago this month in college.
I plan to make many soups, stews, etc as the frost should be on the pumpkins soon. We used to get our first snow below the high peaks in early November (there's snow up there now). Gorgeous. Ski country.

Yep. That's what we missed the first autumn in FL. The seasons are subtle there. January/February gorgeous.
Moved there for his job and to be a bit closer to my parent's farm in MS...a 13hr drive. We'd go twice a year and they'd fly to us twice a year. Worth it as my boys got to know my grandmother's and aunts and my family.
We missed these mountains badly. Love FL but love it here more.
I know RI is beautiful. It's too bad our former SIL is such a weirdo and tossed us aside when MIL died (actually before she died). She's of the uber snotty kind of Rhode Islander, for reasons unknown, as her family, to my knowledge, were not of the upper crust in Newport to sneer at us. As far as I know Kingstown. It is all very weird on her part.
I insulted her once (without meaning to) asking if it was spelled Kingston like Charleston. She went off, man. hic Probably during my college daze. Her husband, my late BIL, loved me and that's all that counts. We shared a lot of laughs while she had migraines at family parties here.

The Mob Lawyers for Cuba's Kleptocrats Attempt to Intimidate US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz, Who Informs Them He Has Chunks of Guys Bigger Than Them In His Stool
And the Cuban delegates assaulted an American staffer.
Bomb them.Hey, that's a Jim Acosta move. And Acosta is, in fact, of Cuban descent.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz got into a shouting match Tuesday with Cuba's foreign minister on the floor of the UN's General Assembly hall while detailing the communist regime's ill-gotten wealth. Waltz called out the Havana government for profiting off of the forced labor of its own citizens sent to concentration camps while using confiscated "businesses, farms, factories, homes and the savings of generations of hardworking Cubans" to line the pockets of its leaders. As Waltz spoke, Cuba's delegation banged on the table near their seats to express disapproval before Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla charged toward the rostrum and accused Waltz of lying, causing the US envoy to shout: "Back up!" "He doesn't like hard truths," Waltz told the delegates. "You can come and intimidate all you want." "He's not going to intimidate me in the United States of America -- like he tries to intimidate political prisoners," said Waltz, raising his voice at Parrilla as UN officials tried to restore order. "I know that you don't like to hear these hard truths, but I am speaking for the Cuban people," Waltz added. "And ever since 1959, this government in Havana would have you believe that everything in Cuba has just disappeared; that they are the victim; that it's someone else's fault." A video obtained by The Post showed fellow US diplomat J.P. Freire being assaulted by another member of the Cuban delegation who tried to grab Freire's iPhone as he was recording the confrontation.
... The broadside against "corrupt Cuban elites" at one point featured Waltz displaying a photo of late dictator Fidel Castro wearing two Rolex watches worth around $40,000 in today's money. "According to the regime's own statistics, that would pay for 55 years of an average Cuban wage," Waltz noted, before showing a photo of Miguel Díaz-Canel and saying, "It didn't just start with Castro. This is the current Cuban president, also with a Rolex on." The former Florida congressman highlighted reports on the Cuban military-run conglomerate GAESA amassing $18 billion in assets that have enriched regime elites, showing further photos of them flaunting their wealth.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz just WENT BERSERK at the Cuban official who tried INTIMIDATING him in the middle of his remarks
"BACK AWAY. THIS ISN'T HAVANA. You're NOT gonna intimidate ME! Do you understand who you're dealing with? This is AMERICA...SIT DOWN." 🔥🔥🔥 "I'm the representative of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA — BACK UP!" "You can bring as many people as you want, PLEASE SIT DOWN." The moderator got flustered! The UN is a total crapshow! I think these Cuban communists just KNOW what is coming. Rubio told Cubans to partner with the CIA, and they're shook now.— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 27, 2026
The Castro regime has profited at the expense of the Cuban people with luxury cars, expensive watches and a private island resort. As I shared this with the world, regime thugs rushed the stage to interrupt my speech.
They can intimidate their own people in Cuba but think again about trying that nonsense in the United States of America.— Ambassador Mike Waltz (@USAmbUN) October 27, 2026

I spent almost three years stationed at GITMO from February 1993 through October 1995. The people in that country are literally prisoners. I witnessed three people killed while trying to cross the minefields to get into the base.
The cubans never made maps of their minefields so they could not be sold on the black market. Once every few years they would light the minefields on fire to burn them off so they could start over. Those minefields burned for 4 days. Thousands of mines cooking off from the fires for days on end.
In 1995 castro decided to open all of his prisons and herd all of the prisoners to the beaches and force them into the water on whatever they could find that would float because he knew we would rescue them.
And we did, the Navy and Coast Guard rescued over 10,000 of them and brought them to GITMO Some of them were political prisoners but most were murders, rapist, thief's and other petty criminals. A bunch were HIV positive and every single one of them eventually got a plane ride to the US and were granted green cards.

Keep the UN in America. Just move its location.
A good spot would be about a 100 miles SW of Barrow, Alaska, right in the middle of the North Slope area.
A little frozen tundra might do them all some good.

So James Comey is claiming he had the authority to declassify as head of the FBI.
If you're keeping score, then:
Who does have authority to declassify - the FBI Director
Who does not have authority to declassify - The President of the United States, who is the Chief Executive and boss of the FBI Director
If you stupids went to Harvard, you'd understand that.

So James Comey is claiming he had the authority to declassify as head of the FBI.
If you're keeping score, then:
Who does have authority to declassify - the FBI Director
Who does not have authority to declassify - The President of the United States, who is the Chief Executive and boss of the FBI Director
If you stupids went to Harvard, you'd understand that.

comey has just hoisted his a$$ with his own petard. He was on multiple news shows as an "expert" on classified documents after the raid on mar a lago.
I would have to go back and find the interview but he was on cnn or msdnc and claimed that no one including the president had the authority to declassify any documents without having them go through an intelligence team at DIA and getting to them to bless the document(s) to be declassified after they retracted damaging stuff.

Is financial literacy racist?
NBA Legend Who Earned Nearly $200 Million Admits He's Broke As Wild Spending Habits Revealed
The Basketball Hall of Famer claims he has just $300,000 left in the bank and approximately $3 million in property holdings, despite reportedly raking in $195 million over his 19-season NBA career.
The court filings also offer a glimpse into Pierce's lavish spending habits.
The former Celtics superstar reportedly spends a whopping $7,000 per month dining out, $5,000 on groceries, $8,000 on childcare, $3,500 on entertainment, $3,200 on utilities and another $1,000 on clothing.
The expenses come on top of approximately $28,000 in monthly child support and $20,000 in spousal support, pushing his reported monthly financial obligations toward $75,700

New: FBI agents have expressed deep concern that they could be ordered to take legally questionable steps to investigate dubious claims of election fraud, and state officials are wargaming how to deal with federal intervention.

At first I read that from below and thought, "yeah, of course there are still rouge agents."
Then I see it's good ol' Fusion Ken and it's even stupider:
Replace "FBI agents" with "bitter, and fired, deep state hacks trying to recruit active agents"
And it's another brick in the color revolution they are fomenting.
Here, that you can't trust the FBI because those investigations are made by "bad" agents--"good" ones would have refused false and baseless claims.

Two questions. Why am I just hearing about the Dems paying a random Dan Sullivan to get on the ballot to confuse voters.
The whole 'ranked choice' voting in Alaska seems wrong, but the talk radio folks made it seem like the ranked choice nuttiness made this trick more likely to work. Does Alaska not show the party affiliation on the ballots or is this con guy Sullivan also running as a Republican? (How did the GOP let that happen if so)

$12,000 per month on food is nuts.
$8,000 per month on childcare? What does a live-in au-pair cost? Even a nanny shouldn't be $8,000 a month.
$3,200 on utilities? Does he keep the house at 60F, light up every room and outdoor shrubbery 24/7, and have a heated outdoor pool?

It's done, peltola's campaign lawyers lied under oath in federal court claiming that they and her campaign had nothing to do with finding this guy to run.
The odd thing is the NYT broke this story and they could have sat on it until after the election was over. That leads me to believe that they were trying to get ahead of another outlet that was getting ready to drop this news.

Top four advance and another Democrat took a dive during the primary so that Peltola would be facing three supposed Republicans. Due to RCV voting rules, you rank order your choices as 1-4 and cast your ballot, then you get a complicated Rube Goldberg calculation that takes into account the rank order, those that put no other candidate on the ballot, those that put one other, etc. etc.

FACT: James and Cam exposed the absurdity of the state's vouching policy in which one individual, without an ID, can claim to be a registered voter, and bring in 8 other people without IDs, on Election Day, and "vouch" for them as legal voters. It's all on an honor system and votes are automatically counted. These are not provisional ballots.

Seth Keshel has it about about 212-213 likely GOP seats and likely D 210-11 on Monday. About a dozen or so seats are tossups dependent on turnout. He relies on polling, spending, past voting history in the district (aka normal vote), and I think candidate quality to make his calls.
But it is clear that the Dem tsunami is not going to happen unless the yutes below 40 suddenly storm the polls in the remaining couple of EV voting and on Election Day. Their absence in EV and mail in ballots so far is why national pollsters are getting nervous and down to D+3-4 in national generic polling now. Some states, yutes are down to single digit percentages in turnout so far while the blue tsunami requires a much greater voter participation than that.

Judge James Boasberg — the same federal judge Trump called a "Radical Left Lunatic" after he blocked Venezuelan deportation flights — has been assigned to oversee the fight to unseal the FBI search warrant used in the raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home.
The case lands on Boasberg's desk as two separate federal investigations into Omar are underway: one examining alleged discrepancies in her financial disclosures and another probing whether her father misstated her age on citizenship paperwork in 2000, potentially allowing her to obtain citizenship as a minor. Trump has long accused Omar of committing immigration fraud, including allegedly marrying her brother, and called for her to be "put in jail" in the weeks following the raid on her D.C. home.

MILLIONS of shekels originating from hostile enemy states were allegedly funneled into Israel to finance large-scale vote-buying operations in Arab communities.
Note that this money didn't just buy votes for Arab candidates, it bought votes for anti-Israel anti-Jewish factions of those candidates.
It wasn't Nestorian Christians from Arbela and Kirkuk buying those votes.

GA is being called for Ossoff by analysts because of polling and incumbency but Jackson (R) in the governor's race to replace Kemp.
NC has a relative unknown Whatley (R) taking on a former two term governor of the state and the Dems have held the governor's mansion for the last 10 years in NC while the GOP holds the State House, Senate, and Supreme Court. Cooper probably has a hard upper cap on his numbers due to a variety of factors including Western Carolina Hurricane response but has the name recognition, money, and ties in the more populous east and mid part of the state. Again, depends on turnout and perhaps degree of ticket splitting. NC is one of the states where they redistricted and there are two of the tossup House races there--one had an incumbent drop his reelection requiring GOP to put someone in that race and the other is a redrawn district that is competitive.

Surprise! French leftists follow the lead of Spanish leftists and propose granting amnesty to hundreds of thousands of Muslim illegal aliens, even as they loot stores and burn down city halls and vandalize churches and synagogues.
Via Politico.eu:Lawmakers in the French National Assembly will vote on a Socialist Party proposal to grant amnesty to an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 unauthorized immigrants employed in France. The measure is expected to be supported by center-left presidential candidate Raphaël Glucksmann, whose campaign is eager to find some breathing space between centrist candidates like Gabriel Attal and Edouard Philippe, and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, his rival on the radical left. Glucksmann has previously expressed support for such a step in multiple interviews. The proposal, introduced by Socialist lawmaker Paul Christophle, hails Spain's Pedro Sánchez for having "chosen to provide foreign nationals with the legal means to settle and work" instead of "trying -- in vain -- to control migration flows."Trump advises "allies:" There's a strike coming on Iran after the midterms.
The U.S. has told several allied nations in the Gulf to be prepared for a short, intense military campaign following the midterm elections next month. The communications went through diplomatic and military channels, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unnamed sources. The claims are among other indications that the U.S. and Israel are preparing to launch a new round of combat operations in Iran. The U.S. military is sending an additional Patriot system to Israel from Texas, which will improve missile defenses. The U.S. has also moved troops off bases in the Middle East based on U.S. intelligence suggesting Iran is preparing to attack Americans.
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's top campaign aide called Biden a "dipshit" and a "rapist" and said America is "cringe." Two out of three ain't bad.
A top aide to Abdul El-Sayed has publicly called former president Joe Biden a "dipshit" and "rapist" and blasted the United States as "cringe" on July 4, a Washington Free Beacon review of now-deleted posts shows. It's not the first time Roxie Richner--a far-left operative who, as El-Sayed's communications director, often hovers just behind him when he's speaking to reporters--has made news over her fiery X account, though the most recent posts unearthed by the Free Beacon have not been previously reported. "#IBelieveBiden raped tara reade and needs to be held accountable," Richner said in May 2020 as then-candidate Joe Biden faced allegations of rape by a former congressional aide, Tara Reade. "He's a rapist," she told a Democratic activist who urged his party to unite around Biden for the general election. El-Sayed, by contrast, has been walking a tightrope when it comes to Biden. Black voters--whose support El-Sayed badly needs--are strong Biden supporters, while El-Sayed's Arab base despises the 46th president for providing Israel with financial support after Oct. 7. El-Sayed has kept his public criticism of Biden limited to Gaza. Richner showed no such hesitation. While Biden made history by elevating the first woman to the vice president's office, Richner made it known that she was unimpressed. "Yeah but does it matter if his vp is a woman if he's literally a rapist?" she asked in April 2020. In March 2020, she said she "cried" after hearing the Reade allegations. "I'm sad for her because she tried to tell her story and no one listened," Richner said.
Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed -- who has no terrorist links or terrorist sympathies, Racists, and you should be ashamed for documenting his clear terrorist links and frequently expressed terrorist sympathies -- objected to the drone strike that eliminated the Al Qaeda mastermind who planned 9/11.
Abdul E-Sayed wrote that it was "troubling" that the United States killed the al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri--who is widely considered the mastermind of 9/11--in a 2022 targeted drone strike. Killing al-Zawahiri was "a fig leaf" to cover up the disastrous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, El-Sayed wrote in 2022, the Washington Free Beacon can reveal. In the piece, "Projecting Strength Abroad Isn't Simply About Killing Terrorists. It's About Standing Up to Despots, Too," which was published in the New Republic on Aug. 5, 2022, El-Sayed spoke out against the CIA drone strike that successfully took out al-Zawahiri, a fellow Egyptian who'd joined the Muslim Brotherhood as a teenager and ultimately rose to lead al Qaeda.Hey wait, Abdulrahman Mohamed Al-Sayed is an Egyptian with strong family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. Small world!
"President Biden is using the strike to bolster his approval here at home. It is troubling to watch yet another American president flog 'War on Terror' themes to resurrect a laggard term," El-Sayed sniffed in the article.
The Bee:
Of course. Catherine Selgado:
The New York Times: Yes, the shifty Democrat socialist whore Mary Petola is behind the recruitment of a nobody loser named "Dan Sullivan" to run against the incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan.
Maine Absentee Ballot Envelopes Ended Up at a Soros-Tied Organization in Maryland
The state of Maine seems reluctant to look further into a 2025 case in which hundreds of absentee ballot envelopes ended up in a different state and at a location with ties to the Soros family money machine. A local outlet says state officials closed the case, even though they had not produced any answers or solutions.
Advertisement UPS told Attorney General Aaron Frey's (D-Maine) office that it required a subpoena before it would release any details about the envelopes, and Frey decided he would rather not know. He didn't think there was sufficient evidence to justify a subpoena, according to The Maine Wire. Why worry about 500 ballot envelopes ending up at a sketchy NGO headquarters in another state? It is not clear why the NGO might have wanted the envelopes, of course. And it's strange that the envelopes were separate from the ballots. The Maine Wire's Steve Robinson already put out a detailed examination of the case and the records he was able to obtain, noting that the NGO, which operates out of a residential home in Maryland, has lobbying connections to more than one Maine Democrat official.
Operatives aligned with Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates in an effort to dilute support for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan on Alaska's crowded ballot, according to The New York Times. The effort, internally dubbed the "ballot composition project," included an early directive to a Peltola staffer in the summer of 2025: find as many people named Dan Sullivan as possible in the state. The goal, the report says, was to land another Dan Sullivan on the ballot to create confusion and siphon votes from the incumbent. The White House communications department weighed in with a firm rebuke of the reporting that has come out after nearly 60,000 early votes have been cast in that election thus far, according to The Associated Press The staffer complied, combing through voter records to produce a list of Dan Sullivans from across the state. This was no random request. Dan S. Sullivan is the name of the state's Republican senator. And if the Peltola campaign or its allies could track down and persuade another Dan Sullivan to run for Senate, the confusion could cost the senator crucial votes on the state's unusual, four-person ballot. The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan. The Peltola campaign has repeatedly denied any involvement in his candidacy. But The Times has found, based on interviews and text messages, along with documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the campaign, that not only did Ms. Peltola's team work with people trying to recruit Mr. Sullivan to run for Senate, but the effort was much broader. The group worked to coax other would-be spoilers into the race, to dilute the incumbent's support and help catapult the Democrat to victory.Lisa Murkowski just endorsed -- get this -- the Democrat cheater.
🚨 BREAKING: "Republican" Sen. Lisa Murkowski just ENDORSED Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins for Governor of Alaska — stabbing President Trump's endorsed candidate, Bernadette Wilson, in the back just 7 days before Election Day
THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! There are THREE Republicans on the November ballot — Trump-endorsed Bernadette Wilson, Dave Bronson, and Treg Taylor — and Murkowski passed on ALL of them to back the lone Democrat in the race Her father, former Gov. Frank Murkowski, also joined Democrat Tony Knowles and Bill Walker in endorsing Kreiss-Tomkins today At this point, why does Lisa Murkowski even pretend to have an "R" next to her name?!

Nothing to see here, just a Somali ‘community leader’ openly calling for jihad inside the Minnesota State Capitol.
How did it even get to this point? https://t.co/xkGESxxUUu— Dr. Maalouf (@realMaalouf) October 22, 2026
Democrats keep trying to change the subject, but the subject is Somalis and, by extension, the Democrats' deep ties with and advocacy for their community despite all the trouble they are causing.
"'The Republicans have their best shot in 20 years at winning the state,' Hamline University professor of political science and legal studies David Schultz told Newsweek, crediting the state's issues with corruption and 'Democratic Party fatigue' as reasons why Republicans might secure a win. He added that he would not be surprised if Tafoya won the election."

arlier this month, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten pulled the final polling averages for Senate races decided by five points or fewer, using surveys conducted in the last 21 days of each campaign. Those aggregates missed the final margin by an average of 3.7 points. Almost every race Enten examined fell within that range. "This, to me, is the big siren warning sign for Democrats right here," Enten said. "Because I know you feel like it's Lucy and the football. You've seen yourselves ahead before. And then Election Day, the votes are cast and counted, and the Republicans come out ahead." That's an uncomfortable message for a party that has spent months convinced it's headed for a big win. If the polls miss again, a lot of Democrats are going to learn on election night that they've lost. Enten also gamed out what that would look like. If Republicans beat their polling averages by 3.75 points, the map transforms. The GOP wins in Maine, Michigan, Texas, Kansas, Iowa, and Alaska, and leaves with a 52-48 Senate majority.
UNDERCOVER: GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS THE DSA IS "GOING TO BE DOMINANT" AND "MAINSTREAM" IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
"The DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that's going to be a mainstream Democratic movement. Absolutely. No question about that." That's California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential candidate, speaking to an undercover journalist while campaigning in New Hampshire. Asked by a "younger voter" who said "we don't want Kamala Harris, we want more democratic socialist policies": "No one is arguing to manage the status quo and fail more efficiently." "You can't play in the margins anymore. The system's broken. It's completely unbalanced, and we can't manage the decline. We have to completely reimagine."— Townhall.com (@townhallcom) October 26, 2026

The Term "DSA" is BS.... There is no such thing...
The Acronym contradicts itself....
DEMOCRAT - SOCIALIST is a play on words to attract the Idiots to vote for "The Garden of Edan".
SOCIALISM is total Government control..
Democracy is freedom for all...
So, the Hippies of the 1960's now support the DSA ???
What happened to "Not Trusting The Man" ?? or
"Do not Trust Anyone Over 30" ???

In the piece, "Projecting Strength Abroad Isn't Simply About Killing Terrorists. It's About Standing Up to Despots, Too," which was published in the New Republic on Aug. 5, 2022, El-Sayed spoke out against the CIA drone strike that successfully took out al-Zawahiri, a fellow Egyptian who'd joined the Muslim Brotherhood as a teenager and ultimately rose to lead al Qaeda.

I've had a day from hell from the moment I woke up from a text from my brother (regarding mother's idea she didn't need sitters anymore at home) til now and realize I will probably survive.
I had to take a lyft to an appt to top it all and other stuff that happened; and a certain Rashad probably wanted to go jihad with me.
I suggested a different route from the Interstate, he argued 20min vs the 40min I suggested. Being smart I said ok (he said he was an "expert driver" which reminded me of Rain Man).
I was reading and looked up and we were on my short cut with less traffic and suicide, as that was on his app. When I got home I said, "Well, that wasn't so bad!" He snarled at me. It took us 20min my way. HA! Score! He'll probably return with a machete.
Even with all this I don't (thankfully) look as cranky, bitter, and dessicated as Murky Murkowski. That old beetch.
I think general crankienss seeps from inside to your face and she's a fine example of this theory.
If I remember correctly she was elected by a hair or possible fraud, but I am too tired to look it up. I don't think buzzards would bother if she was road kill.

Illegal election violating plain letter Alaskan law when she lost a primary to Joe Miller during the Tea Party years. She ran as a write in which required by AK law that her name be completely and correctly spelled for it to count. Some Murkowski crime syndicate judge allowed those to count. Just like this recent op by Peltola which the AK Supreme Court needs smeared across its rep for being willingly gullible in accepting Dem lies.
State's pols and courts are bad enough that it reminds me of Arkansas during the Clinton heyday.

I can answer some of this from before and after photos.
She had her naturally hooded eyes worked on. A blepharsty. Her eyes look ok,but not herself beforehand.
I don't understand at 36yrs why, but that's all natural me.
Her cheeks were rounder, which actually makes you look younger as I sport them still.
The trend in Hollyweird is to have buccal fat removal to enhance cheekbones. Gross. If you do this with the magic Ozzy pill you then look half dead on top of different.
As I've said, from having needed, horrific, and it turned out great from a spot on my nose years ago, it would require me going through a windshield for plastic surgery. Not just my advanced age but even when I was 30yrs younger. Nope!
The dermatologist told me today, for my yearly check up that I look 30yrs younger and have amazing skin for all the sunbaking I claim. At 32yrs when you get your first basal cell it tends to change your tanning at the beach or pool. On my forehead, plastic surgeon removed, and I can no longer find the scar.
Use SPF I weakly cry.

The only way I can rationalize such detachment and indifference is to believe that in order to want to protect and save your nation, you must have a certain pride in it.
I don't think the Europeans have that. I would expect more from Canadians. Yet, they have no real conservative movement. No true conservative leaders. And, a lazy attitude when it comes to using critical thought to truly understand the issues rather than serving up animosity towards the President of a separate sovereign nation.

Far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen officially launched her 2027 French presidential campaign on October 25, 2026, in Orléans, promising to restore law and order, tighten immigration controls, and revive national sovereignty amid widespread social unrest.
So lawmakers in the French National Assembly will vote on a Socialist Party proposal to grant amnesty to an estimated 300,000 to 400,000 unauthorized immigrants employed in France, largely because Raphaël Glucksmann and other prominent challengers are significantly trailing Marine Le Pen in early polling for the 2027 Presidential election.
And we'll all see how dumb the French voters are.

I once spent a day outside at a Civil War battlefield re-enactment facing the same direction and had blisters from the top of my hand all the way to the ears. No more sun for me! I wear long sleeves for hiking and hats

And in putting debt on future people category?
Calif is about to sign a 10 year contract with Siemens, for 3 High Speed Rail trains, and maintenance.... on a 10 year contract from 2030 to 2040.
Once signed... it's a debt... on trains that will never run, on tracks never laid... but they want to get the contract signed before a new Governator comes in.... so the current graft will stay where it is.

DSA’s rise puts left flank at center of Democrats’ 2026 fight (and I'd argue 2028 as well -Intrepid)
Been 45 years of Reagan and 30 years of Clinton. The areas that have cut taxes (Reagan) and services (Reagan & Clinton) the most have not risen to become top 10 economic hubs or anything like that. Center and right have failed America, keeping us running on fumes.
Today's Republican "center" is far to the right of Richard Nixon' policies; today's center is pretty much John Birch Society. FDR and Truman policies are far closer to DSA than to the Democrat leadership of today
Mamdani implemented in days/months what corporate dems have been talking about doing since 1990. Tangible example of if they wanted to, they would.
We've been trying the moderate side since at least the Clinton administration. Obama took a tippy toes step to the left. Can we try an actual progressive side of the party now?
Do you know how funny it is for DSA to win THE MAYORAL ELECTION OF NEW YORK CITY and for people to still pretend they're irrelevant or unpopular?
Fascists taking over the country and dems worry about people who want universal Healthcare.

As far as Europeens are concerned here's how it will go. The invaders at some point will gear up and start killing lots of people. When enough people are killed, the natives will get the point and either submit or fight. That's the plan in America too.

"...investigate dubious claims of election fraud..."
The FBI investigated that "noose" found in Bubba Wallace's garage, right? With about 20 agents? Investigating dubious (in that case, obvious bullshit) claims of racism seems to be (or was) a top priority of the FBI. I think they can spare a bit of time to investigate claims of election fraud, which are far more likely to be actual crimes than Bubba's little hissy-fit.

Ace's beauty tips!
SPF 30 daily in moisturizer since 32yrs on my face, neck and hands. I have no sunspots and am ancient.
From age 13yrs (pool) to 32yrs (snow ski, pool, beach) I baked every summer. Mostly wore a hat as my face didn't tan well for a green eyed blonde, my body tanned well and I loved it.
Some people are lucky and some are not in regard to UV waves changing DNA. However, the lucky ones, and I know many my age, have severe sun damage and spots...whether they turn to cancer or not.
I had one spot no bigger than a fine tip marker dot, on my shoulder, black, flat, looked different. Fooled PCP and derm: .32mm melanoma. Measured in depth vs size.Now sport a 3" incision for that one and no more (thank God and 25yrs ago).
I'm also lucky in that I have virtually no moles and if stuff shows up I run to the doctors who are with the university.
I'm one of the lucky ones. Skin cancer survivor.

Yep...you don't want it hitting circulation or lymph!
If I had a lot of moles I would have not seen it fiddling with my hair. Docs were amazed as it was not textbook. They both called me to tell me I'd be fine. They watched liver enzymes and a chext x-ray for 2yrs then told me to behave with sunscreen. I have. Wore a pressure bandage for 3wks and kept working in the ED. I wanted no pity from anyone with that diagnosis.
I got the basal cell on my nose from several bad sunburns as a youth...looked like a clogged pore vs the typical one at 32yrs, pearly, etc. Thought it was nothing yet my doc said, oh, yes it is!
A MOH's hole too big to heal, grew underneath skin, and then plastic surgery...2 scars from above nostril to the corner of my mouth & dimple. Called a shark pedicle repair. My dude changed the dressing each night, telling me it would be ok, when it was not ok at all in my opinion.
Within a few months the healing was amazing. Now you have to look for one scar, as the other one vanished somehow. They do work magic.

Doctors, Engineers, Flying Car Mechanics From Well-Run and Peaceful Countries Continue Culturally Enriching Americans One Murder At a Time
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ 17h NEW: Multiple federal law enforcement sources tell @FoxNews that the man who was shot and killed by an off-duty FBI agent in Chicago last night was a Venezuelan illegal alien who was seen shooting into a homeless encampment. Per sources, the FBI agent was driving alone when he saw 27-year-old OSCAR D. CORRALES shooting at people in the encampment, and the agent stopped and shot CORRALES, killing him. Fox is told CORRALES was previously caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in October 2023, and he has a previous arrest in California in which he was released from custody with an ICE detainer ignored.
Bill Melugin:
NEW: Multiple DHS sources confirm to @FoxNews that the suspect charged w/ murdering a Walmart manager in Philadelphia, PA on Wednesday is a Haitian illegal alien who flew into the U.S. via former President Biden's CHNV mass parole migrant flights program in 2023. Per sources, 23-year-old Destino Jean-Louis flew into the US on 11/24/2023 via Fort Lauderdale International Airport, and his legal status was revoked on 6/12/2025 after President Trump terminated the program. According to investigators, Jean-Louis had previously been married to the victim he killed as part of an immigration-related sham marriage arrangement that was designed to help get him get a green card in the US. But after DHS denied the application in July, the victim, Latosha Cooper, withdrew the petition and cut off contact with him, and Jean-Louis became angry. He is accused of shooting Cooper in the head outside of the Walmart on Wednesday after finding out about her work schedule. He previously worked at the Walmart with her. The DA in Montgomery County, PA has now charged him with murder.

ICE is pushing back heavily on this story from @WTOP. ICE says this "youth baseball coach" is a Venezuelan illegal alien who has a deportation order after his green card was revoked following immigration fraud proceedings and he also has a prior arrest for gun & drug offenses.

DHS released a partial list of Doctors and Engineers arrested and deported to third-party countries due to Excessive Cultural Enrichment:
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ 19h NEW: In wake of 60 Minutes segment on ICE's deportations to third party countries, DHS has released a list of some of the most egregious illegal aliens they've removed to third party countries because their own countries wouldn't take them back, including murderers, pedophiles, and rapists. Via DHS, some include: Yosmel Luis Palomino Galan, an illegal alien from Cuba, deported on August 15, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for two counts of premeditated murder with a deadly weapon in Florida. Roberto Mosquera-Del Peral, an illegal alien from Cuba and Latin Kings gang member, deported on July 14, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for first-degree premeditated murder, aggravated battery causing bodily harm or disability, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, vehicle theft, andreckless driving in Florida. Thongxay Nilakout, an illegal alien from Laos, deported on May 20, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for first-degree murder, attempted murder, and second-degree robbery in California. Tuan Thanh Phan, an illegal alien from Vietnam, deported on May 20, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for first-degree murder and second-degree assault in Washington. Jesus Munoz-Gutierrez, an illegal alien from Mexico and Brown Pride Aztecas gang member, deported on May 20, 2025. His criminal history includes a conviction for second-degree murder in Florida. Jose Manuel Rodriguez-Quinones, an illegal alien from Cuba, deported on May 20, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for first-degree murder with a weapon, firearm possession by convicted felon, possession of paraphernalia, cocaine trafficking, and arson in Florida. Orville Isaac Etoria, an illegal alien from Jamaica, deported on July 14, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for murder and robbery: forcible armed theft with a deadly weapon in New York. Luis Vieira Andrade, an illegal alien from Cape Verde, deported on August 15, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for rape of a child with force and assault and battery of a child under 14 in Massachusetts Dung Tien Nguyen, an illegal alien from Vietnam, deported on July 14, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for indecent or lewd act with a child under 16 andsecond-degree rape in Oklahoma. Zakaria Farah Abdi, an illegal alien from Somalia, deported on August 15, 2025. His criminal history includes convictions for second-degree murder while committing a felony and receiving stolen property in Minnesota. ... DHS statement to @FoxNews
: "Thanks to these third-country agreements, we have been able to deport some of the worst criminal illegal aliens from the United States, including those who are so barbaric that even their home countries won't take them back, such as murderers, pedophiles, rapists, and drug traffickers," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "For far too long, illegal aliens ordered removed by a judge have avoided deportation simply because DHS had no place to send them. Through engaging in fully legal third country removals, the days of avoiding deportation are over. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to make America safe again. The Trump Administration will NEVER apologize for putting the American people first and deporting dangerous criminals from our country. America is no longer a safe haven for the world's criminals."
Meanwhile, the Islamist UK government continues promoting the most energetic of Cultural Enrichment Officers.

NEW: ICE sources confirm to
@FoxNews that they've arrested two more Haitian illegal aliens accused of illegally collecting SNAP benefits in Ohio. Both have final deportation orders, and both were allowed into the country by the Biden admin, including via the CBP One cell phone app. Details per sources:
CLAIRINOR DUCLERC, arrested by ICE in Columbus, Ohio yesterday. He is a Haitian illegal alien who first entered the U.S. via the Biden era CBP One cell phone app at the San Ysidro port of entry in California on 3/29/2024. An immigration judge issued him a final deportation order on 1/20/2025 and he has an active bench warrant out of Franklin County, OH. He told agents he lives with his Haitian wife and their 1-year-old US citizen son in Ohio. Photo courtesy of ICE source. (left)
ICLES CERMOME, arrested by ICE in Westerville, Ohio on Monday. He was caught and released by Border Patrol during the Biden administration after crossing illegally into Brownsville, TX on 12/29/2023. An immigration judge issued him a final deportation order on 1/30/2024, roughly one month after he entered the U.S. illegally.

I'll add this here, from below:
Making the rounds on X is a video of a black dude getting more and more angry at a bunch of cops standing calmy around him.
"Please step away from the knife."
He grabs the knife off the ground and lunges at the cop about 7 feet away, and damned near gets him, before the cop ever gets his gun out.
Other cops had theirs out and ... he dead.
You should watch it. Lots of lessons.

Per sources, the FBI agent was driving alone when he saw 27-year-old OSCAR D. CORRALES shooting at people in the encampment, and the agent stopped and shot CORRALES, killing him.
Couldn't the FBI agent on scene wait until the shooter ran out of targets or bullets before killing him DRT ?

They're using the immigrants to start their precious revolution in all western countries.
Feeding and housing the newcomers gets a lot of sweet government lucre and votes.

There are no border crossers now, effectively. The few that do make it through the increased border walls (three times as high as before, Trump got A LOT of money for border wall construction in the OBBB) immediately get deported again.
All ports of entry use facial recognition, so if they've been deported, they show up in the system and get denied (Milo got deported this way, he went to an airport with an active deportation order).

If you're doing it right, all the deportees are on a no-fly list and have "Do not admit" on their immigration database entry... assuming such a thing exists and is accessible by border guards.
But this is why we need The Wall (TM): to reduce possible unguarded entry points.

103 years ago, the world was using us as a dumping ground for their refuse. We were on the tail end of an 80 year process where the world had done that.
And then the 1924 Immigration Act was signed by Calvin Coolidge and we had effectively closed borders (there were small quotas to fill, but nothing else) for 60 years. And America didn't become a backwaters territory with no economy, for some reason.
In fact, we thrived through WWII and became the superpower of the planet.

I gotta believe it was a bit easier to integrate Irish, Italians, Germans, and all shapes and sizes of Eastern Europeans at the turn of the 20th century than it will be to integrate the motley crew of tribes we've imported since Teddy got the immigration bill through.
I guess it's not impossible, but a lot seem to have dug in and aren't going to give their 'culture & community" up so easily.

New study pushes for cats to go vegan

Cats fed vegan diets appeared less likely to be overweight than those eating conventional meat-based foods. In the initial analysis, vegan-fed cats had 24% lower odds of being overweight.

Last night, Zohran Mamdani was bragging about approving 10,500 street vendor licenses EXCLUSIVELY for Halal food trucks, calling it “Halalflation.”
Laura Loomer called him out, and he quickly deleted the post and now wants to pretend it never happened.
This is literally religious-based employment discrimination. It is ILLEGAL. Mamdani is an Islamic supremacist.

Little Italy wasn't a thing because Italians were integrating easily. Ethnic enclaves were common, and they spoke their own languages.
There were riots when some Italian Marxists were arrested, convicted, and executed by the US federal government by Italians in America. Vincenzi brothers? Something like that. Not looking it up.
And all the same arguments back and forth were happening in the late 19th century. "Jobs Americans won't do," was said about factory work.

Heh, I've asked various AI bots a few times for these lurid details, but they only answered with speculation.
NPR has helped out recently with some sad-sap video about Central Americans who were in the US for 5 years, 8 years and speak no English, now in Liberia. It seems they're in "immigrant hotels" in unpaved suburbs guarded by armed Africans. Complaining about the language barrier, the lack of gainful employment, the strangeness of the land.
I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping for some Mad Max stuff.

Someone recently pointed out that until the GOP stops being the GOPe we're never going to be able to enforce laws in places like Minnesota, California, Oregon, New York, etc. The example given is the "blue slip" which is a "courtesy" that must be done away with. That "blue slip" is what keeps law-and-order judges from ever being seated in those areas, and consequentially why we keep seeing so many cases dismissed and incorrectly ruled upon by whack-job judges.

The term "Americanization" would likely cause today's airhead racist-totalitarians (er, "progressives") and even dumb suburban "liberals" to faint. Yet this was a key concept during the period of mass legal immigration/assimilation.
Along with that you had a mindset among most immigrants - not entirely absent today, esp. among east Asians of certain flavors - that their kids would be *Americans*, dammit. The tenement dad telling his kids no Ukrainian or Polish or whatever outside the home - that was for Sunday school. The east Asian immigrants voting en masse to end CA's idiotic "bilingual" "education" programs. As a friend at the time put it, these parents would be thinking "I f***ing swam to get here so my kids would be Americans, and you want to teach them Kmer??!!!".

To be fair, late 19th century factory work was awful. In iron and steel work, 220 people per 100,000 were killed. It's closer to 26 per 100,000 now.
Something on the order of 50,000 people a year were killed across all manufacturing sectors per year.
It was nothing like the sterile, relatively safe factory work you see today.

The problem isn't stupid. We've always had stupid in the government.
They aren't purposely flooding the country with illegals because they are stupid. It's a plan. The illegals serve many purposes for them including the census, voting and street muscle and all it costs them is to take our tax dollars and make them dependent on the government.

We need to have a common sense test given to anyone who seeks employment with the government, and they have to ace that test.
The problem isn't stupid. We've always had stupid in the government.
They aren't purposely flooding the country with illegals because they are stupid. It's a plan. The illegals serve many purposes for them including the census, voting and street muscle and all it costs them is to take our tax dollars and make them dependent on the government.

> And all the same arguments back and forth were happening in the late 19th century. "Jobs Americans won't do," was said about factory work.
To be fair, late 19th century factory work was awful. In iron and steel work, 220 people per 100,000 were killed. It's closer to 26 per 100,000 now.
Something on the order of 50,000 people a year were killed across all manufacturing sectors per year.
It was nothing like the sterile, relatively safe factory work you see today.

And farmers would leave the fields every year to work in the factories, cause you might lose a finger but you won't starve to death like you might on a farm.
Those crappy factories with kids sometimes doing scut work in them led to....a huge increase in the life expectancy of children.

OK. Over 1,000 coal miners died per year from 1900 to 1945.
What's the point of asking me to do coal mining next? That factory work in the late 19th century was a better job than coal mining? All of those jobs suck. Sure, Americans will do them if they don't have much choice. If you were a kid in a coal miner town in the late 1800s, you probably thought anything other than mining was a pipe dream.
I'm not saying we should import people to do those jobs. But I can still plainly see those jobs are awful.

She was one of the very unlucky ones who get involved with a sham marriages. They're all over the place...all counties, many ethnic groups, educated and uneducated folk, and so on.
Investigators stated the shooting was a targeted ambush connected to an immigration-related sham marriage dispute between the two. She was 45 years old, a mother of three, and a grandmother.
Reportedly, following an official immigration interview, authorities flagged the marriage as fraudulent. Cooper subsequently withdrew her visa sponsorship petition in July 2026.
According to the arrest affidavit, Jean-Louis - age 23 - targeted her because he believed she "messed up his life" by canceling the sponsorship, and he claimed she owed him money.
Jean-Louis is young enough to create even more hell & havoc in his lifetime.

OBBB tripled the size of ICE.
Border enforcement is less necessary than before, so Border Patrol is actually doing more work on the interior rounding up illegals than anything they're doing at the border.
287g agreements with local jurisdictions have exploded from about 150 to about 2800, meaning local cops who find illegals in their day to day arrest them on immigration charges and then hand them off to ICE.
This has been going on all year and from before (OBBB didn't take effect until January 2025).
There's a reason our population declined in 2025 for the first time since the 60s.

89 Got booted from a guitar forum (again) a few nights ago for having the audacity to refer to John Lennon as a great songwriter and yet not much of an economist. Any internet site that is not *explicitly* conservative becomes whack-a-doodle leftist.

Some people try to feed their cats only chicken or beef without adding taurine and they make their animal sick. I think they need calcium too in a certain ratio and the cats get this from bones or marrow?

Cats eat the whole thing, so lots of bone, internal organs with their minerals and stuff. Manufactured dry food trys to duplicate that, but then getting cats to drink is an issue. I give wet food that helps them avoid putting strain on the kidneys and fountains, with dry for nibbling in between. No overweight cats.

Dogs at least can survive without meat, though I assume like us its a lot harder than having some meat for the missing essentials. The dirty secret is a lot of 'herbivores' will gobble down the odd bit of meat that crosses their path.

Yes, there's a reason why the lone miner, crazy coot is a stereotype. 95% of people just don't do well living alone for years on end. It's kind of like the feral child tragedies, but, instead of not being raise in a family/village setting, the loners gradually loose that humanity.

My grandparents came to this country as indentured servants. They paid off their servitude.
Posted by: Ben Had at October 28, 2026 04:47 PM (8Uo7a)
My great Grandfather came from Denmark and farmed ice in Minnesota, which was one of the most dangerous jobs around. He died doing it, leaving my great-grandmother and her 6 children, including my grandmother who was about 5.

My great Grandfather came from Denmark and farmed ice in Minnesota, which was one of the most dangerous jobs around. He died doing it, leaving my great-grandmother and her 6 children, including my grandmother who was about 5. Great grandma spoke only Danish so after a short time, gave up and returned to Denmark with the younger children. The older boys - who were 12 or so, stayed in the US and went to work.

I wonder if cats can get Prader-Willi syndrome.
A neighbor had a 20-pound cat that was so huge... the vet said that from its head size and length it should have been more like six pounds. The family tried every diet imaginable, and it just ate three times the diet food.

well dispensing the dry in less than full bags is the first step. Then getting the cat to work harder.
I think that is as much psychological as physical. Stress or boredom eating.

Communist Dictator Lula Orders Arrest of the True Winner of the Presidential Election and Demands His Passport be Seized; Marco Rubio Quarterbacks Operation to Evacuate Him from the Shithole Country
Will Chamberlain
@willchamberlain Flavio Bolsonaro's passport was cancelled and he was forced to flee the country by Lula, Alexandre De Moraes, and the insane Brazilian regime. His brother Eduardo has an arrest warrant out for lobbying the US. His father, Jair Bolsonaro is serving 27 years. Victims of political persecution, all of them. It's time for the Brazilian left to face the full force of American diplomatic and economic sanctions until they stop acting like a banana republic. The Trump administration lifted Magnitsky Act sanctions on de Moraes, his wife, and his holding company last December. They should be immediately reimposed. Further, visa bans should be imposed on every government official who has touched the Bolsonaro investigations - and their families too. Finally, Section 301 tariffs on Brazilian goods should be quadrupled. The Brazilian regime should look carefully at what has happened to Venezuela and Cuba, and remember that this hemisphere belongs to the United States of America.
Simón Levy
@SimonLevyMx As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State @SecRubio. From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula.
Dictatorship on full swing in Brazil!
A PT congressman, member of Lula’s far-left party, incredibly admits today on the House floor: “I have information from the Federal Police that they’re going to arrest many Bolsonaro supporters.” Hear it for yourself! https://t.co/xIZhPBsewG— Marcel van Hattem (@marcelvanhattem) October 28, 2026
@MikeBenzCyber This doesn't sound like the actions of a legitimate winner. Lula needs to be Maduro-ed.

@EmmaRincon 14h Translated from Spanish Lula threatened Bolsonaro in the debate, telling him to be careful because he would lose his immunity. Not even three days have passed since the election, and he had to flee Brazil because Lula was going all out to have him arrested. Is this a democracy?
Lula amenazó a Bolsonaro en el debate, le dijo que tuviese cuidado porque perdería su inmunidad.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump indicates Brazil and Lula likely STOLE the election from Flavio Bolsonaro
"[Democrats] cheat SO WELL...although, BRAZIL's doing a pretty good job, also, aren't they? Did you see that one? That was not nice...I did NOT like, it did NOT look too good." And now, reports say Flavio is coming to FLORIDA and he will be granted asylum in America Brazil is being taken over by fraudsters and cheaters, and it COMES TO AMERICA if we let Dems win!— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 27, 2026
Gina Milan
@ginamilan_ 17h Let me break down the Flavio Bolsonaro situation and why he is in the United States just hours after the election... First, they imprisoned his father. They sentenced Jair Bolsonaro to 27 years and placed him under house arrest after he challenged the 2022 results and was accused of plotting to overturn the election. In this recent election, Bolsonaro was ahead. Lula and his thugs, including his former corruption lawyer, who now sits on Brazil's Supreme Court, requested a two-hour extension that miraculously produced enough votes for Lula to win. That extension added only about 35,000 votes, roughly 0.03 percent of the total, which is nowhere near enough to explain Lula's final margin of roughly 4.4 million votes. Bolsonaro immediately challenged the election because anyone who is not a communist and has a brain could see that the election was stolen from him if they actually paid attention to what was happening. President Trump called the outcome a rigged election and said it looked very bad. Hours later, they accused him of trying to overturn the election, EXACTLY as they did to his father, and accused him of inciting "violence" in the streets. Then they prohibited him from leaving the country, even though he had committed no crime, and canceled his passport to make sure he could not leave. Fortunately, Bolsonaro had been working with the United States. They extracted him in an undisclosed operation before the authorities could throw him in prison just like his father. Meanwhile, while ALL of this is unfolding, Lula's little tranny lover, Erika Hilton, who is a "Congresswoman," is publicly calling for the Brazilian government to seize Bolsonaro's and his wife's assets and freeze ALL their bank accounts. DOES THAT SOUND NORMAL TO YOU? A man challenges an election, and suddenly the Brazilian government is coming after him for doing exactly that. THIS IS COMMUNISM. So while you see Democrats across our country congratulating Lula on his victory, including Alex Soros, the biggest demon of them all, understand exactly what you are looking at. These are the people cheering on a government that is targeting its political opposition. They are the enemy, and they will attempt the SAME thing against a Republican here in America, just as they did to Trump. This is EXACTLY why it is essential to vote RED and make absolutely sure our country NEVER becomes what Brazil has become. ONCE YOU GO COMMUNIST, YOU CAN NEVER GET OUT OF IT.

So while you see Democrats across our country congratulating Lula on his victory, including Alex Soros, the biggest demon of them all, understand exactly what you are looking at. These are the people cheering on a government that is targeting its political opposition. They are the enemy, and they will attempt the SAME thing against a Republican here in America, just as they did to Trump.

They are telling us who they are and we should believe them. The real trick is what to do to prevent them from doing what they plan.

Lula was a big part of the Sao Paulo Forum when it was formed back in the 90s.
Lula and Fidel Castro were the main instigators behind this idea after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Basically, it's a large conference of leftist parties from around South America and the Caribbean, they also allowed leftist parties from the rest of the world as well.
A lot of the '21st Century Socialism' that Chavez won on in Venezuela were based on ideas, strategies, and tactics developed at the SPF.
It's been a poison in Latin America, but especially in Brazil where there younger generations are all totally brainwashed by an education system that is all the woke of American, Canadian, and European education and then some.
Between Lula, and his chosen successor Rousseff who was ultimately impreached, Brazil has been ruled by the PT (Worker's Oarty) since 2004. The only break from it, and the only man who ever had a chance to win those two decades, was Jair Bolsanaro winning in 2017.
The PT is dug in like a tick now, and they aren't letting go.
If we, in America, can take anything from the situation it's that this is a vision of the future for us if the Dems take control in 2029.

Military has long lost its apetite for intervening, I think. Recall that as in other neighboring countries they were drawn in in the 60s/70s by actual insurrectiony action by commies and others. Different times.
Brazil unfortunately has a brutal class system overlaid with racial red lines, so commie populist appeals of the worst sort will always have traction. But I think the military wouldn't think of getting involved absent major civil violence or threats to its own status.

Brazil unfortunately has a brutal class system overlaid with racial red lines, so commie populist appeals of the worst sort will always have traction. But I think the military wouldn't think of getting involved absent major civil violence or threats to its own status.

I wonder where that number comes from?
People are not skeptical enough, they should say "the regime *claims* the extra two hours only resulted in 35,000" votes but only a fucking moron would believe a word those commie pricks say."

I hesitate to ask, but is it possible that the Brazilians are stupid enough to elect Lula for real? I don't know Brazilian people or politics at all.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 28, 2026 03:30 PM (mmrXZ)
Lula is a hero to many Brazilians.
He was a dirt-poor nobody and eventually rose up to become a union leader during the military dictatorship from the 60s to the 80s.
He is idolized by the Brazilian left.
They've made feature films about his life.
He is popular in Brazil, but for a decade, similar to here, the Brazilian right has become a force again because of the constant march to the left of the nation, and corruption that is endemic among all politicians and bureaucrats.
Brazil has its own Religious Right and plenty of anti-communists because they aren't stupid and see what it does to a society.
Something unprecedented has happened with Lula covering an 11 million vote spread from the first to the second round while the right won the legislature outright.
I believe the race was close, because they are as divided as a country as we are, but no way do I believe Lula pulled out 4.4 million extra votes on Sunday to win.
How they cheated, I have no idea.

I was there in 1985 when the military relinquished rule to an elected civilian government. Things were completely pacified from the late 60s, when there was lots of spicy violent action on the streets.
My favorite part of Lula's quite implausible explosion of 2nd round support was that a lot of it came from states in the south that are the last place Lula will have much support. Parana, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul. Fairly European, prosperous, etc. "Conservative" culturally and politically.

The fascism in world governments become more visible step by step.
Fascism didn't die at the end of World War II. It seems it's pessimistic/realistic theory bled into all the worlds' governments.
Russia grew into a state socialism with international aspirations. So aspirationally pure Marxism, but functionally national socialism, i.e., fascism.
Even the post-Russia criticism by socialist theorist of Russia was that it doesn't exhibit socialism at alll. No, Russia was "state capitalism". It's just the State played the role of the Capitalist, selling Russian labor in a world market. (Just like North Korea is doing now.)
Despite that this argument is a mite specious, it's not a model that we can't work within. There was no pure, lasting Marxism, outside of Cambodia--and that didn't exactly last.
Plus a stage of Marxist history is the Dictatorship (in the Name) of the Proletariat, which is a fascist-equivalent state with the social goal of changing man's nature to what is fit for "communism".
Thus Marxism has an inherent fascism problem, because it's simply the strongest variation.
Among Marxish variations, it really is the survival of the fittest (to survive).
Fascism didn't die at the end of World War II. It seems it's pessimistic/realistic theory bled into all the worlds' governments.
Russia grew into a state socialism with international aspirations. So aspirationally pure Marxism, but functionally national socialism, i.e., fascism.
Even the post-Russia criticism by socialist theorist of Russia was that it doesn't exhibit socialism at alll. No, Russia was "state capitalism". It's just the State played the role of the Capitalist, selling Russian labor in a world market. (Just like North Korea is doing now.)
Despite that this argument is a mite specious, it's not a model that we can't work within. There was no pure, lasting Marxism, outside of Cambodia--and that didn't exactly last.
Plus a stage of Marxist history is the Dictatorship (in the Name) of the Proletariat, which is a fascist-equivalent state with the social goal of changing man's nature to what is fit for "communism".
Thus Marxism has an inherent fascism problem, because it's simply the strongest variation.

Most Brazilian coffee goes to the European market I believe.
Back when I was last there, gas stations often had a weird sweet smell to them - gasohol, with alcohol distilled from sugar cane (so, kinda like rum that took a wrong turn). And back then they had enormous farms of sugar cane still going, with a permanently down world sugar price.

That's the thing about Lula.
He's taken the country to the left, but he really hasn't gone after agriculture.
Nationalized Petrobras, added and expanded welfare programs, and raised taxes.
But he's never gone full Chaves/Maduro so far.

"Bright idea" government will always have a fascism problem.
There are no hard-fast rules of governance, and the people have to be managed. So, the means depend on the argued need of the ends.
(The most farcical thing was Marxist spreading the slogan that the "Ends don't justify the means" post Viet Nam war when that's pretty much Marxism.)

Like I said, Brazil is saddled with a very bad de facto class system, with a racial overlay. So commie/populist appeals (understandably) have a lot of traction.
As in other regional countries during the turbulent 60s/70s, military rule even with its uglier side had support among the middle class, for obvious reasons. I don't think Lula's move to become a TEMU Peron or Mussolini will resonate well outside the favelas and usual brain-dead leftist demos/institutions.

The legal system in America is slow, but the key is that the DOJ didn't start anything in the last few months like the RNC would normally do when it needed to put on a show of some legal recourse to obvious bullshit on the horizon.
They started suing blue states for their voter rolls the moment Harmeet Dhillon was appointed to the DOJ Civil Rights Division (it took a few months after the inauguration to get her through the Senate on April 3, 2025). And they just keep grinding away at it, no matter the push back from the judiciary.

We went to South America this past spring. We had only been to Colombia in SA before.
Hubby wanted nothing to do with Brazil, calling it "bad news" for years.
We started in Bueno Aries for a week, then got on a ship around the horn (top 5 travel experience!) up the west coast and on through the Panama Canal from the west ending in Ft. Lauderdale.
Great trip and we did not miss Brazil even a little bit.
Our son and DIL went about six weeks later - started in Chile (for Machu Picchu) ended in Argentina and also really enjoyed it. They too skipped Brazil with no desire to go there.
Brazil may be pretty but it is too dangerous for us. I doubt it is getting any safer.

We all know what needs to be done, but none of us have the stomach for it.

This is the news media testing out the right spin for when Democrats win and start prosecuting Republicans for just being Republican. "See, Republicans are hiring lawyers and trying to avoid prison--they must be guilty."

Depending on your age, interests, and situation, I wouldn't skip Brazil for tourism. It's got a lot to offer, and a tremendous cultural vibe and energy that is the envy (literally) of places like Argentina.
Crime? Haven't kept up, but probably not a big issue in the places I spent most of my time - not Rio or SP. Most Americans have never heard of the best places down there. Again, depending on age/interests/situation, I am confident still a lot of potential. I rarely go to popular places or otherwise travel like a tourist, and for that Brazil is spectacular.
I went there many moons ago and stayed for over 6 months, traveling all over the enormous country. One of the best things I've ever done.

It was a retirement plan, the endless cruise. Rather than paying a mortgage, etc etc, you just cruise your live long days away. In theory. A lot of money was given, as I understand it. I didn’t remember it as a get away from Trump thing, but if that was the reason, how hysterical it is that the Trump admin will have to be the ones to save their sorry patoots.

Lula gets more support from the north of Brazil, where the population is full of descendants of slaves.
The right in Brazil is in the south, especially the far south, where all the Germans and Italians immigrated to.
The largest cities, Sao Paulo and Rio, are both leftist, but are surrounded by more conservative regions.
If they had a civil war it would be centered on the cities and the northeast.

Just to update, in the CA case:
- CA has admitted they don't check citizenship
- CA has admitted they do not have any way to check citizenship
- Article II is clear that Congress can pass laws regulating who can vote
- Congress has passed a law that only citizens can vote
- Congress has passed a law that it is crime to knowingly allow someone to illegally vote
So that is why the cartel judge is going to rule:
1) there is no standing for the DOJ to determine who votes in federal elections in CA,
2) it is not a crime to illegally vote in CA if you don't know that it was a crime, and
3) if CA elections officials knowingly let illegally registered voters vote, it is not a crime because they had no way to know they were illegally registered to vote.
Plus, as I mentioned, he'll discard all the evidence and then find there was no evidence of vote fraud or people not eligible to vote, voting.

> Yanomami myth
A vagina lined with pirhanas. Yow!
In other vagina-related mythology, this time from Alaska.
In the beginning, Raven was the only creature who had fire, and he guarded it jealously.
One winter was extremely harsh, and the humans started freezing to death. A woman volunteered to attempt to steal some fire from Raven, as otherwise she would die anyway.
She made up a basket full of Raven's favorite foods and went to his house and sat outside. "Oh, here I am with this delicious food, but I will certainly freeze to death before I can prepare it."
Raven heard this and invited the woman in to warm up, on the condition that she share her food.
After dinner, Raven went to sleep. The woman quietly picked up a burning coal and put in her vagina (yeah, I know, ouch!), then quickly left. She came home and kindled a fire and the people were saved.
When Raven found out, he was angry, and yet, being a trickster himself, he admired the woman.
"Your punishment will be this: From now on your vagina will itch and you will long for a man to make it stop itching. When you find a man who can make it stop itching, you will wish for a different man to make it itch again."

There's a fun trend I've been seeing on Twitter where people are putting their new smart TVs on debug mode, pointing an AI agent at the TV, checking out all of the spyware on it, then doing a bunch of cleanup.
The TVs are watching to see if you're paying attention to the screen. The TVs are watching the screen to detect food, text, sports, which video game you're playing, etc. The microphone is on, listening for certain phrases. They're even counting times they hear a baby crying or pets making noise (barking, meowing, etc). Some will even look for Bluetooth devices that have a microphone if they don't have access to a live mic and try to gain microphone access that way.
Lots of people are reporting their TVs go from sluggish to snappy when you remove the spyware and bloatware.
Some of the models will refuse to "hack" devices you own. But there are a lot of AI models.
If you're not a tech person, I'd suggest not plugging these devices into the network. If you ARE a tech person, try it out. Point a grokbot to your device and see what you can see.

"Please step away from the knife."
He grabs the knife off the ground and lunges at the cop about 7 feet away, and damned near gets him, before the cop ever gets his gun out.
Other cops had theirs out and ... he dead.

Well Ann as I said, depends on personal druthers etc. I imagine you should stick to conventional and more well groomed destinations.

I am glad you enjoyed yourself.
Not sure how well groomed where we went was - well, except Buenos Aires which is basically a cross between the United States and Europe - I'd rather just go to Italy.
Patagonia was fantastic, the bottom of the world was
phenomenal, loved Chile, Peru was butt-ugly but interesting, and Ecuador was better than expected.

They'll just burn down the rain forest to clear new land. The ashes leach down into the upper layers of acidic soil for a couple of years, so you end up with maybe 2 years of decent crop yields at most. Then it turns into a desert, and you move on to burn down another several thousand acres of rain forest. Rinse and repeat.

He grabs the knife off the ground and lunges at the cop about 7 feet away, and damned near gets him, before the cop ever gets his gun out.
They literally show cops training videos about knives. The fun experiment is to give people water-soluble markers and white clothing. tell them to use the markers as knives with a judge to tell if someone has won.
See how many marks you have on you at the end. Now, granted, you and I are not experts in knife combat, but its very very enlightening. Knives are scary and deadly.

The Economist Publishes Chart Showing That Immigrants, Especially From Afganistan, the Middle East, and North Africa, Commit a Grossly Disproportionate Amount of Sex Crimes in England, Wales, and Denmark (But Then They Try to Hide the Ball)
Here's the thing, though: Because the discrepancies were so enormous, they attempted to hide just how grossly disproprtionate the rates of sex offense are.
They put the numbers on a logarithmic scale --which deliberately squashes numbers together to disguise just how great the differences are -- to hide the full extent of the disparity. But people normalized the scale into a simple and clear linear graph. Here's the graph the pro-open-borders Economist published. Note the scale at top shows rates of sex offense jumping from 1, to 2, to 5, to 10. That's to hide the outlier here.There it is, ladies and gentlemen. The Economist has finally published a graph on migrant crime levels. I’m sure the usual suspects will be absolutely furious to discover that the data has once again refused to cooperate with their preferred narrative. https://t.co/6Wh9sQSUhg
— Mike Jones (@technopopulist) October 26, 2026
The Economist article this chart comes from (https://t.co/LCDzKKfW5L) tries to play down the discrepancy. But the data (shown on a linear rather than log scale as in the original article) is alarming indeed. The Economist's conclusion, that in absolute terms the difference in sex crimes is not alarming, hides the fact that migration is a real issue and there is a clear impact. 🤷♂️

@jonatanpallesen This figure from the Economist looks bad, but reality is in fact even worse. Sexual offences is a broad category. And as a rule, the more severe the crime, the higher the over-representation of perpetrators from the Middle East and Africa. We can see this in the data from Denmark, which has the best quality crime data in the world. Here we can break down both by ancestry and by severity of offence. The figure shows that in Denmark people from Middle East and Africa are vastly more over-represented for rape than for sexual offences. The same is likely the case for England as well, so if they had the data available to draw the red rape circle, it would be much further to the right.

Do immigrants from some countries commit more sex crimes? A hard look at Britain’s data suggests so. But it is hardly an epidemicTren de Aragua only took over a few apartment buildings in Colorado. The article is paywalled and conspicuously absent from Archive.is, but here are some quotes found on a Reddit thread about the article:
Ten additional rapes = no big deal. But we should also hang the Cornell 7, who are guilty of zero rapes. The Economist attempts to make the numbers look better by weighting for age. Now, it is true that men aged between 17 and, say, 35 commit the great majority of crimes, and most of the immigrants coming over from these shithole countries fall into that age range. An invasion of "military aged men," as they say. But this does not help their case, because they're advocating for a continuing flow of men from these countries at the exact ages most likely to rape or commit violent crimes. The anti-immigration or immigration-slowdown crowd makes the case that we cannot absorb so many military-aged men -- or, perhaps we should say, rapist- aged men -- in so short of time. And also: This kind of numbers-massaging doesn't make the great disproportion in sex offenses go away. It just reduces it from "terrifying" to "highly alarming." The Economist says we can and should and that the additional rapes and sex attacks are just the cost of boosting our GDP (by importing huge numbers of nonworking males with no skills who will be on the dole their entire lives). My citation for that? Why, another graph prepared by the gonzo open borders woke magazine The Economist, showing that immigrants from the "MENAPT" countries -- Middle East, North Africa, Pakistan, Turkey -- contribute the least to the Danish economy by far. Note the second lowest line represents other immigrants -- also a small contribution. Also note that this is based on age, so all groups drop to very low levels of economic contribution as they go past retirement age, as of course they would. But look at the very low levels of economic contribution for immigrants in what are, in the West, considered the "productive years" of a man's life:
This suggested Afghans are convicted of sex crimes at seven times the British rate--a far cry from Mr Timothy's "over 20 times", but disturbing nevertheless (see chart)." "here age-standardised analysis exists for those countries, the over-representation shrinks, as in Britain, but it does not vanish.
"And the numbers need to be kept in perspective. In 2010-12 Afghan nationals were convicted of 92 sex crimes; in 2022-24 the total was 102. Ten additional sex crimes, after the Afghan population has roughly tripled, is not an epidemic."
The Economist, in another article, says that riots in Europe have nothing to do with culture:
The Economist
@TheEconomist Oct 24 Donald Trump's diagnosis of the protests is plain wrong. The problems facing Europe's liberals are not about race or religion--and are much harder to fix
Rule of Law ⚖️
@MovetheWorld9 Oct 26 The Economist and The FT have been left-wing publications for 20 years. They are not pro-capitalist publications at all. That ship sailed decades ago. They are left-wing on every other issue not just on immigration.

Here, I have to get back to work. This is from FoxNews on a New York Times report.
Operatives aligned with Democratic Senate nominee Mary Peltola spent months recruiting candidates in an effort to dilute support for Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan on Alaska’s crowded ballot, according to The New York Times.
The effort, internally dubbed the “ballot composition project,” included an early directive to a Peltola staffer in the summer of 2025: find as many people named Dan Sullivan as possible in the state.
The goal, the report says, was to land another Dan Sullivan on the ballot to create confusion and siphon votes from the incumbent.
The White House communications department weighed in with a firm rebuke of the reporting that has come out after nearly 60,000 early votes have been cast in that election thus far, according to The Associated Press

The Economist may be the best example of the decline, verging on collapse, of civic culture, knowledge, and thinking in the Anglosphere west.
Forty years ago it was excellent. A one-stop quick look at the world, mostly by knowledgeable actual journalists, well written, crisp.
Now it's the high school level garbage that makes up almost all of the "press" and public square. No reason to think the audience, such as it is, isn't as degraded, and didn't in fact drive the decline.

Because a collision of atheist "bright ideas" still are scuttling our change at reproducing our population.
They've been spinning the plates of politician promises covered by new revenue for a long time, and that would come to a crashing halt when all these anti-reproduction "bright ideas" are combined with a cessation of immigration.
They've sold the welfare state, now they need more people to pay in so their promises don't fail on their watch.
They will use other words, but it illustrates the same system.

Reality is a harsh mistress.
But every woman north of the Mediterranean knows the reality -- being alone, or isolated, with a man from "MENAPT" means you are very likely to get raped.
Even leftist/liberal woman know this.
And this fact utterly destroys their entire worldview -- openness, cultural relativism, "anti-racism," white-shame, The Noble Savage, "equality" -- all proven false or counter-productive or disastrous.

Another important point: that graph is based on criminal convictions from 2020-22. Thus, latest data is at least 4 years old.
Anyone here think African and Muslim invaders got less rapey in the last 4 years?
And why only England and Wales. What about Scotland?
I have to say, the graph looked like it underrepresented the African/Muslim sex crimes as compared to the rest of the population.
Now I think I know why. It's been 4 years of these animals getting away with all sorts of crimes, from rapes to murders to thefts, and I'm sure it emboldened them.
Plus, there are a lot more of these mongrels in the UK now.
So I would add 25% at least to their lines on the graph.

And what do you want to bet this is one situation where sex crimes are under-reported? A lot of the assaults are probably against women of the same culture, who are silenced and barely allowed out of the house.

Loons like The Economist want you to believe universities are chock full of rape gangs but that men from cultures steeped in misogyny are just misunderstood.

the most bizarre feature of the economist's analysis -- especially in light of the fact that it is a british journal -- is that, while afghanistan is broken out as a particular country of origin, pakistan (the origin of the majority of the perpetrators of the "grooming gangs" tragedy) is lumped into "south asia", almost certainly elevating the statistic from that region while (conveniently ?) obfuscating what is likely to be a pakistani overrepresentation.
afghanistan -- another particularly problematic country of origin -- was noted specifically, and the study was published despite its lack of coordination with the pertinent leftist narrative, so i don't mean to suggest the economist has fully hidden the ball here, but it's a peculair omission nonetheless to exclude pakistan.

Notice the word "convicted". That pulls a lot of weight for the collaborators. Islamists don't get "convicted" if they are never prosecuted in the first place. The fact that even convictions are this high for the favored groups tells you that the true numbers are likely apocalyptic.

I think it was Denmark or the Netherlands where the "national origin" of rapists was, well, um, rather glaring. Meaning very few native citizens.
A court (not sure which level) squelched the fight against the ridiculous "Dan Sullivan" ballot confusion operation up in AK.
This, plus "ranked choice voting" (how TF is that remotely constitutional?). AK is a weird state of course, but it's sad they now probably exceed Berkeley, Santa Monica, Ann Arbor, and Boston in their descent into un-American low IQ undergraduate shenanigans as public policy.

We are seeing right now the final push of the entrenched global elite and their attempt to wrest back control of narrative and $$.
Voters so far seem to be having none of it, and they are panicking. From Davos to the color revolution stuff coming from Data Rep indicates they realize they are in grave danger of losing everything. These midterms are the warmup. They are not going to settle much in the US, we will remain pretty much similarly divided afterwards. But this is to set the stage for 2028, where they could receive a death blow. Going to be continually ugly here for the next 2 years. Especially if you live in a blue state.

All single, military age (20 - 40) and likely still here. Because they're not here for the welfare. Or jobs.

Explain to me how the west gains economically by allowing the free migration of people who offer barely any contribution to the economy at all but are huge consumers of welfare and social services paid for by the economically-contributing natives?
The left needs voters to replace the voters who voted against them.
Socialists will gladly print money to cover the cost.
Presto, economic growth on paper.
And if you don’t agree, they’ll put you in jail until you do.

RCV got passed because the entire proposal included language that purportedly stopped dark money from the Lower 48 from influencing elections going forward. Of course, that was a lie. I know nobody who voted for RCV, but enough did that it barely passed. If you knew who counted the votes in Anchorage, you would know that count was suspect as well, but as goes Anchorage, so goes AK.
It will be repealed during this election, not to worry. Everyone is sick of the nonsense and the lack of party control over who ends up on the final ballot.
Likewise, nobody is going to vote for the fake Dan Sullivan unless they are totally leftist and retarded. The dude is a drunk from Petersburg, for heaven's sake.

On the second chart, not the little asterisk where it is not just immigrants, BUT THEIR DESCENDENTS in the statistics... which shows me a lack of generational assimilation.

Translated from Hebrew
Likud:
The elections in the State of Israel were stolen by Arab parties that support terrorism and the elimination of the Jewish state through serious criminal offenses of bribery, threats, violence, forgeries, and the use of prohibited software to mobilize voters.
The Likud party is transferring to the police, the Shin Bet, and the Central Elections Committee hundreds of testimonies and pieces of evidence regarding election theft in many Arab polling stations—thousands of envelopes with cash and Ra'am slips, threats and violence against polling station members, multiple voting behind the curtain, voting with double identities, discrepancies between the number of envelopes and the number of voters, the use of prohibited mobilization software, and more.
We demand from the police and the Shin Bet a thorough investigation into the election theft by the Arab parties and the full prosecution of the criminals.
We demand from the Central Elections Committee an immediate response to investigate these criminal offenses that have severely damaged the integrity of the elections in Israel and the election results.

Murkowski came out to endorse JKT, who is a leftist fag from Sitka and would be a disaster as Governor. She did so because Trump endorsed Bernadette, who should really win the whole thing. The problem is that Bronson, who claims to be a Republican, is so butt-hurt by being beat by a woman in the primary that he won't drop out of the damned race like he said he would, and he is going to split the vote and ruin Bernadette's chances. Same with Trig Taylor. Neither one of those men are the least bit honest and have egos the size of.... well, bigger than their dicks, certainly.
Alaska politics is entirely local.
I met Bernadette at the State Fair during Mass offered for the volunteers at the Catholic food barn. She's a fire cracker, that one.

84 Government doesn't feel like explaining anything to taxpayers because they have "to hell with them" attitude towards us. They run the country so sit down and shut up. This is the reason so many people hate the government. They are suppose to be working for us instead of pushing us around.

Best estimates I've seen... 47% of the total GDP is spent through combined Government spending (State Local and Fed added up).
Now, Government does not produce anything EXCEPT order... it produces no products, no wealth... just enforces rules and regulations.
So when 47% of your total wealth, is either used for control, or given to someone else in your society (which is also a form of control)... of course the normal citizen has no real chance.

As for rapists, AK has one of the highest percentages of rape convictions in the country, but it is all in the villages. Rape and incest are part of the "vibrant Native culture" the Native Corporation ads keep touting. If you leave out the Natives, AK has one of the lowest percentages of rape convictions in the country. Yes, it is cultural, and not a good culture, either.

75 Explain to me how the west gains economically by allowing the free migration of people who offer barely any contribution to the economy at all but are huge consumers of welfare and social services paid for by the economically-contributing natives?
The government can print money.
Cooperations can not print money.
Flooding your nation with low-wage shitskins to compete against whites drives the cost of labor down for corporations, increases the demand for rental housing for corporations and any increased costs are borne by the state, who can simply print more money.
Or put another way, even if only one sand-n*gger or regular n*gger winds up being competent out of ten that are imported, the corporation doesn't bear the cost of the 9 failures. In fact they profit from it, because the corporation produces the free food, phones, clothing, and housing that the government pays for by printing money.
Having an extra bunch of layabout retards is good for corporations that contract with government.
Hotels can rent you a room for $200 a night for your one week stay in Paris. But they can rent the government the same room for $300 to the government for 3 months to house Dindus

Remember Bornheim, Germany. They barred adult male asylum seekers from its public indoor swimming pool. The reasons line up with this report. Sexual nature, and not just with women.
Dresden and several other major German cities (such as Munich and Leipzig) dealt with a wave of similar complaints, local policy adjustments, and safety debates.
Here's a clue. Savages don't much care if you put up posters suggesting it's a bad idea to grope women, children etc.

Explain to me how the west gains economically by allowing the free migration of people who offer barely any contribution to the economy at all but are huge consumers of welfare and social services paid for by the economically-contributing natives?

Modern communists are not the communists of the 20s and 30s.
Communists of yesteryear saw value in work, that everyone would gleefully contribute to the stateless, classless society as faithful workers to the global union of humanity.
Communists of today want someone else to do all the things so they can do art or whatever.
The leadership has the same motives, of course: feudalism with another label.

Log scales can be quite useful and help show things better (with exponential/geometric growth, it becomes a straight line, for example). And also compress something down that spans a wide range. But they can also be used to deceive as in this case.
It's the same as specialized jargon and highly specialized language. Things can be very complex and require careful description, and so specialized terms are developed.
The difference is always intent. Is the use of the jargon intended to clarify, or is it intended to obfuscate?

More Ilhan mysteries -
Laura Powell
@LauraPowellEsq
1h
EXCLUSIVE
When her father died in 2020, it was Ilhan Omar who provided the information for the death certificate. She claimed her father’s name was Nur Omar Mohamed. She also claimed that her paternal grandfather was named Omar Mohamed and that she didn’t know her paternal grandmother’s name.
Oddly, his gravestone only includes his first name. It reads, “Aabe [Father] Nur, Son of Awo Yusuf.” “Awo” is a female given name, so Awo Yusuf must have been his mother’s name. It’s strange that her name was considered so important that it was the only one included on the gravestone, yet Ilhan denied even knowing her name.
In any case, none of this explains why he was always called Nur Said Elmi by those who knew him, or why Ilhan’s full name is Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. According to Somali naming traditions, if her father’s name was Nur Omar Mohamed, she should be Ilhan Nur. Where does Abdullahi come from?
It’s incredible that we let people into our country without confirming their identities, much less grant them citizenship and a seat in Congress.

>>>The Economist originally posted this graph with a normal linear scale, but then deleted it and replaced it with the deliberately-misleading logarithmic scale when lefties and open borders advocates (but I repeat myself) complained that the graph was accurate and therefore racist.
LMAO.
1. Most people, pro or anti open borders, won't read it.
2. Those who do who have their preconceived notions about it will not have their mind changed on the left, and will have their notions reinforced, regardless of the data shenanigans.
3. So the Economist clowned themselves in the eyes of the only people who might be interested in such data, for no practical benefit.

But as the first public hospital in history was expressly Christian (St. Basil) and Christian hospitals swamp whatever numbers "atheist-built hospitals" without once pressing on the Christian conscience to contribute to the effort, it's unlikely that wholly secular effort would produce a single hospital.

That's the bind. We are forced into Christian-themed actions, but because of the principle of separation, we are not allowed to acknowledge that he is the force of the action, and ask him to bless it.

Bearing the burdens of others is centrally Christian, but doing that so that you can inch along a godless timeline of "progress" is not.
Sacrificing of yourself for the benefit of others, is Christlike, but when you have a government so hostile to religious expression as "entanglement", you can't really believe in the spiritual aspect.

The problem with all this government "largesse" that they expect Christian sentiment to be beaten into is that it is all to laud some secular enlightenment and progress.
The Lord's insistence in being named is so that you can avail yourself to the source of his blessing and teaching, so you can see the light of the lighthouse.
Thus, although I'm a hard-fought separationist at long last, a trade-off is a trade-off.
And we're still subject to atheist "bright ideas" of how the world should be. And how they are going to show everybody by fixing it.

By saying the below, I am not saying that a lack of a belief in God is inherently some irrational proposition.
Even as a Christian, I don't find that to be the case.
What I say is most atheists are sloppy thinkers.
The goal state is "I don't have to believe in God." And once they make that justification, rarely does an individual atheist do more but to expect that prior ages are filled to the top with nonsense.
And that by removing themselves from the belief in God they have graduated into a class of nonsense rejection.
The beliefs atheists generate for themselves is the part of what is the problem. The problem is the blind faith of atheists.
These days, their intellectuals would dissuade you from believing you have agency ("free will"), that you are just a cloud of random elements somehow "experiencing" things.
It's not a class, it's more of a behavioral cluster.

Peak earning for MNAPT people (35-40 years of age) is BELOW what Danish people make when they are 70.
I.e. a retired Danish person is more productive than a prime of life MNAPT person. let that sink in.
A huge amount of the problem is many MNAPT women simply never work, at all, their whole lives. When they do work, they are even less productive than men, being woefully undereducated and lacking any skills. Unsurprisingly women in Bukas can't and won't work very hard.

Netanyahu's Party Wins More Seats Than Opposition, Garnering a "Clear Majority" of Jewish Votes; Left Wing Coalition May Cross the Rubicon and Ally with Arab Parties Which Support Hamas
Explaining a bit: Netanyahu's party won the most parliamentary seats, but not an outright majority of parliamentary seats, which means the next government will be supported by a coalition of various parties.
The Arab parties won a highest-ever 19 seats-- which would be enough, if combined with the left wing Jewish parties, to take a majority. But the Arab parties are, get this, pro-Hamas, and there is a longstanding taboo in Israel against allying with terrorist-supporting groups. For some reason. I don't know why. But my guess is that the left wing has abandoned all restraints in Israel, as they have in America, and will in fact implement the Red-Green Alliance, even in Israel, which just experienced its own 9/11 three years ago.Huh, polls overstated support for the left and understated support for the right. Must be the first time that has ever happened.
Netanyahu survives another day with unexpectedly clear backing of Israeli Jews
By Steven Scheer, Rami Ayyub and Lina Obeid
JERUSALEM, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Benjamin Netanyahu won the support of an unexpectedly clear majority of Israeli Jews in an election billed as a major turning point in his nation's history, apparently ensuring he will survive as prime minister at least in a caretaker role. With nearly 86% of votes tallied on Wednesday morning, Israel's three main broadcasters reported Netanyahu's bloc of right-wing, far-right and ultra-Orthodox parties on course to win 53 seats in parliament, well ahead of the 48 for the opposition bloc of rival Gadi Eisenkot.
I wish I believed that. But the left is now untethered and is increasingly comfortable with supporting actual terrorism and murder against their opponents.
Parties representing Israelis of Arab descent would win an unprecedented 19 seats, following high turnout from passionately motivated voters. The results could still change as counting continued, but a victory for Eisenkot appeared increasingly out of reach, as his bloc of anti-Netanyahu parties from centre-left to hard-right underperformed pre-election polls that forecast a tight race. While Netanyahu lost his bloc's narrow majority in the 120-seat Knesset, his opponents were left with scant hope of unseating him without an unlikely deal to accept broad backing from Arab parties, which many Jewish leaders reject.
... Trump, who had called on Israeli voters to keep Netanyahu in power so the two leaders could "finish the job" in Iran, said Netanyahu had done "very well" thanks to his own endorsement that "helped him a lot".Of course.
Ed Morrissey adds some analysis.
The election was the first held in Israel since Hamas-led fighters killed 1,200 people and carried off 251 hostages in attacks that shattered the country's sense of security and plunged it into war in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. The war in Gaza, which flattened the territory and killed 74,000 Palestinians, has left Israel increasingly isolated on the world stage, with a decisive shift in global public opinion against it, including in its closest ally the United States.
None of the Arab parties will declare Hamas a terrorist group, nor will they stand for Israeli policies in either Gaza or the West Bank. While Israeli politics is famously fractious and far more to the Left than the US, those positions are far enough to the extreme that most other parties will not abide a coalition that includes the Arab parties. That may be even more true after the October 7 massacres; voters blame Netanyahu for ignoring the threat, but they are not going to back a government that has to let Hamas off the hook to boot Netanyahu out of office, either.Yeah I don't know about that.

Israel is a Muslim-hating, Muslim-genociding, filthy zionist regime that murders Muslim babies for baby oil.
Israel also has so many Muslims that can vote in Israel's elections that they elect a bunch of Muslims to the government.

Meanwhile the rest of the left sees them as uber white devils.
Now orthodox Jews seem to get that they have no home on the left, perhaps some atheist/conservative/reform Jews are waking up the fact the left doesn't just hate Israel and observant Jews?

But I think for now sane common sense on security matters prevails.

I'm sure the polling firms that said El-Sayed would win by 13 points in the primary (which he won by 1), have fixed all of their response rate issues from the rural whites of the state and the polling now is just spot on.

We will know in a week but again that post wasn't a prediction, just saying that a swing to "60%" of Jews is not incredibly significant to me compared to who they might gain in the process of embracing terror with a hunky smile.
I do not think he will win but I do think he will "win". And I think the gap in polling was a cover for cheating him in in the primary.
No one questioned the win since he was "so far ahead". What if he was far behind in the polls but then won by 1 point? Different postmortem, no?

There are no genes that a DNA test can reveal to show 'palestinian.' They do not exist as a people different from Jordanian / Egyptian / Arab.
Its even worse then that.
While there were people living the Holy Land, prior to Zionism the population was light - the Ottomans didn't develop the land and it wasn't that important to Muslims.
Zionism then brought in European Jews with money and modern science/economics which led to an economic boom
In turn this lead to Muslims leaving the surrounding areas to move to Israel to work for the Jewish population

UNfortunately they are employing a definition that the United Nations developed, which broadens the meaning to be nearly devoid of significance. You know why the extremist cranks keep yelling "trans genocide"? Because it fits the definition the UN came up with.

I should start a charity to donate money to the IDF. Have the ads showing strikes on Gaza, with The Cure's "Killing an Arab" playing in the background, and a voiceover saying "your generosity helps reduce terrorism, genital mutilation, female slavery, and cousin-marriage around the world, and the pain of innocent human beings living near Muslims."
As the footage plays of Yahya Sinwar feebly attempting to ward off a drone with a stick during the missile strikes that killed him, the voiceover will solemnly intone that "for just $5 a month, you too can be the stranger killing an Arab."

Where do most of the families who used to live in British Palestine live?
In Jordan. The British split off 80% of the territory, in spite of the Balfour resolution, and gave it to the non-Jews, and they called that area "Jordan".
The people of Jordan are 100% genetically indistinguishable from "Palestinians".
So where is the state for the "Palestinian" people (former denizens of British Palestine)?
In the 80% of land given to that ethnicity before half the remaining 20% was split off for Israel, aka Jordan.
There is such a history of disingenuousness in this discussion.

One of the more comedic things that leftists are yelling on Twixxer is that "20 million Arabs aren't getting their say in this election!"
Which is technically true, but the part they leave out is that these are people living in Gaza and The West Bank which both are technically their own nations with their own elections. Not that they have any any for a while, 20 years or so in Gaza.
Its like complaining that Mexico doesn't get a vote in our elections. Why are 150 million Canadians not voting in the USA??

I'm also happy to be wrong. I'm sure I was wrong once sometime in the 90's.

I scoff at the people who insist there is genocide in Gaza. After all this time, if the Israelis were serious about genocide, Gaza would be empty by now.
It isn't.

A first-world military, trying to "genocide" a third-world population, in an area smaller than Rhode Island.
With 80 years to do it, they've now got a population of genocidees that's bigger than what they started with.
I think these crafty Joooos may not be quite as crafty as they're purported to be.....

OT, related to ceremonial voting:
Judge disqualifies the US attorney overseeing the 20,000 suspected noncitizen ballots in California. Order temporarily stayed.
(different) US District Judge will issue ruling on the case of the as-yet-unsequestered ballots later today. If the DOJ loses, back to the Ninth Circuit.

I went to Israel a dozen years ago. We were on a little guided tour of some ruins near Tel Aviv; there was much friendly discussion between the guide and the small group of tourists. The guide was a leftist and very free with his criticism of Israel. One of the tourists, an American-born professor at some college in England, started heavily criticizing Israel as regarded the current Palestinian situation. The guide quickly turned on him and if you had just shown up you would have thought he was a right-wing nationalist.
From my limited experience, Israeli politics and identity are very different from what we think of here. It probably comes with being a small country surrounded by enemies and living next to a terrorist state.

From Amit Segal's It's Noon in Israel newsletter. They are looking at the Arab vote -
On election day, police detained three Negev residents, one of them a senior figure at Siyua 48, the charity widely seen as part of the parent organization behind Ra’am. According to police, they were carrying tens of thousands of shekels in cash, packed in envelopes marked “A gift from the Islamic Movement.” Overnight, according to right-wing lawmakers, polling observers in Arab towns reported voters arriving at the ballot box holding fuel cards and gift cards they had been handed at the entrance, and some voters allegedly said the cards were payment for voting Ra’am.
If cash envelopes and gift cards moved even a fraction of a seat, in an election decided by a handful of seats and a 3.25 percent threshold, they could have decided who clears the line and whether Netanyahu or Eisenkot gets to 61. The Central Elections Committee and the police now have one week until the official results to show the public that the count can be trusted.

Mainly because it's the "Arc of History". To Marx is was "inevitable" as the progress of history, but to later Marxists, it is nonetheless the way it should go.
The theory just has a totalitarian stage, though. After that we're all living in freedom on communes, where all the barriers to "dignity" are removed and everybody contributes because they have been given their dignity.
But yeah, they have to take over everything to beat Man into a shape where he inherits the benefits of Marxism. There is nothing that should resist it.

I proposed a constitutional amendment years back where every time there is a trial in DC it is instead handled in a random state, since DC is not technically a state and is merely a support structure for the federal offices.
Congress can do that without an amendment.
The Constitution says that Congress determines where Federal trials are held when the event being litigated occurs outside of a state.
Washington DC isn't a state.

Somebody would have to explain to me how you have an insurrection that's more orderly on the inside of the "Seat of power".
That whole drama with breaking the windows and Babbitt happened 15 minutes after the last Congressfool was evacuated from the building.
But you have to pay attention to the timeline--and a lot of lefties were totally incapable of understanding the timeline of the Trayvon Martin killing.
Also, very much not known was the crush where the authorities gathered in riot gear ~ 3:15 trying to crush "protestors" against the back wall of the rotunda.
That's probably where some fucking damage was done!!
I wanted nothing to do with January 6th--but what I've since seen is appalling. How fucking rigged this incident still is by mainstream press.

I had it pointed out to me that the US and the USN, unlike the Euros and most of the rest of the world, consider that any shipping carrying US cargo to or from US ports are considered under US protection, no matter what the flagging.
Should France or England or Holland decide to interdict Russian flagged shipping carrying oil or diesel to US ports, they have just recreated the crisis that brought on the Quasi War with France or the War of 1812.
Now the Euros have not problem with buying diesel that comes from Russia, France is still buying lots, but they have a problem with not being able to seize Russian shipping as they see fit. Blumenthal is probably just acting on this European reluctance.

Naturally, because before the terrorist 10/6 Palestinian invasion, "global public opinion" was favoring Israel and Israel wasn't "isolated on the world stage". You see, contemporary history only began after Israel responded to an existential enemy hellbent on River-To-The-Sea ideology. Nothing predated the hostility and global opinion was amicable.

Well that's some crazy dem early voting numbers in NJ, in such a traditionally deep red state too!
And the great thing about early voting is you get to vote over and over again.

Israel is so isolated their defense industries are rationing their products to foreign buyers, even limp non-entities like Germany are punking their Arab investors to co-produce Israeli defense gear, countries are moving their embassies to Jerusalem, and trade of all kinds is booming. Not to mention a de facto economic/strategic alignment with Greece and Cyprus gaining momentum.
Remember kids, many around the world hate the US (true), hate Trump especially (true) - which provides exactly zero substantive information on whether the US is thriving, pursuing the right policies, etc. The same ridiculous propaganda for retards "press" that generates anti-US and and anti-Trump animus is the one creating a climate of hate for Israel.

#HeToo: Scientist Falsely Accused of Sexual Harassment Proves Case and Wins $6 Million Defamation Judgment
Wait until you find out what the "#HeToo" in the headline means.
'I lost everything': Ex-MIT scientist David Sabatini goes on camera for first time since $6M verdict By Ted Daniel, Boston 25 News BOSTON -- A Boston jury has awarded former MIT biology professor Dr. David Sabatini $6 million after finding that a former colleague, Dr. Kristin Knouse, defamed him. The verdict came years after her sexual misconduct allegations cost the renowned scientist his lab, his job, and his reputation.Women never lie about rape or sexual harassment. Never, h8rz. Never never never. Do better, h8rz. #DoBetter.
Here comes her #HeToo admission: A text in which she admits she was "quite aggressive" in entering his hotel room for sex, and then joking she nearly raped him: she called it a #HeToo encoujnter.
The jury's verdict was announced on Oct. 16 after a three-week trial. Sabatini had sued Knouse for defamation and that she wrongly interfered with his job and his future career opportunities, according to court documents. Knouse filed a counterclaim accusing Sabatini of sexual harassment, creating a sexualized hostile environment and retaliation. The jury rejected her counterclaims. "I lost everything. There was nothing left of my normal life," Sabatini told 25 Investigates' reporter Ted Daniel in his first on-camera interview since the verdict.
A leading scientist's fall For about 24 years, Sabatini led a research lab at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge, which is affiliated with MIT. His work focused on cell biology and its connections to cancer, aging, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. His breakthroughs once made him a potential contender for the Nobel Prize. His downfall began in 2020, when Knouse, an early career postdoctoral researcher at the Whitehead, accused him of sexual misconduct and harassment. She claimed Sabatini coerced her into a sexual relationship that lasted more than a year. Arguing before the Supreme Judicial Court, Knouse's attorney, Ellen Zucker, said Sabatini had sex with Knouse while she was a student and "continued having sex with her in a way that made her uncomfortable." ... On TikTok and across social media, Sabatini was labeled a "predator," an "abuser," and a "creepy dirtbag." When New York University considered hiring him in 2022, students and faculty protested, chanting, "What do we want? Safety!" NYU did not offer him a job. "It was horrible," Sabatini said. "'Rapists roaming the halls of MIT' was basically what was said."
Sabatini's sued Knouse over the accusations and his firing. In court, Sabatini and his legal team, led by Lisa G. Arrowood, argued the relationship was consensual. They also presented evidence they said showed Knouse had become jealous of another woman Sabatini was interested in and had sought to have him fired. "She took what to me was very apparent from all our messages, a fully consensual relationship," Sabatini said. "She converted that into a coercive relationship, which then you can also sort of see the escalation of that to claims as horrible as rape, and then sexual assault." Text messages entered as evidence show some of the exchanges between the two. On Jan. 5, 2020, Knouse wrote that she would "fixate on how I'm being held as a backup and competed against other women," adding that the anxiety was "not healthy for me, my science, or our relationship." On Jan. 17, after Sabatini told her he had kissed another woman, Knouse replied, "I'll be honest and say it definitely hurts to validate some of my anxieties in light of our closeness and discussions over the past few weeks."
In a video deposition, attorney Arrowood questioned Knouse about other messages. Knouse confirmed that she had written, "I know what I want, and I go after it." Asked about a message in which she wrote about visiting Sabatini's hotel room late at night during a work retreat, "In hindsight, it was quite aggressive, #hetoo," Knouse said she "was just making a joke about how I was being forward in that moment."Women never lie about rape. Never. They never use such allegations for vengeance against a lover who has rejected them.
Documents from the case show Knouse called her campaign against Sabatini "Covert Operation Dethrone." In one message, she joked about buying a "Lambo" if she won a settlement.
Below: The lying criminal who defamed him and ruined his life attempts to explain away a text in which she wrote that she was "aggressive" when she went into his rom to seduce him and then joked that she almost raped him, writing #HeToo. In other words, he was a #MeToo victim, but he's male, so it's #HeToo. She's joking about the rape but this casts rather a lot of doubt on her claims of being relentlessly sexually stalked by this man and "coerced" into a sexual relationship against her will.
"In hindsight, it was quite aggressive, / #hetoo."
That’s MIT based biologist Dr. Kristin Knouse being asked about text messages she exchanged with Dr. David Sabatini, a world renowned former MIT biomedical scientist. Sabatini was once considered a potential Nobel Prize candidate for his breakthroughs in understanding cancer and aging. The deposition is part of the evidence I reviewed in a defamation and work interference lawsuit Sabatini brought against Knouse. Sabatini watched his career, his lab, and his reputation collapse under the weight of campus protests and social media attacks after Knouse accused him of coercing her into a sexual relationship that lasted more than a year, according to court documents. 🚩Sabatini gave me his first television interview since a Boston jury delivered a stunning $6 million defamation/interference verdict in his favor.🚩 The interview airs on #Boston25 News during our 6pm newscast. I will post the full report after it airs.

Men get a bad rap as sex pests and predators, but so many of their problems could be avoided if they just kept their cocks in their pants at work and around women that have power or authority over.
This is not hard, guys. Don't stick your dick in crazy, we all know that one, right? Well, don't stick your dick in coworkers either, and especially not subordinates. 95% chance it ends badly.

Well, MIT's fake and gay inquisitorial courts (which were held not liable btw in litigation) sure screwed Sabatini in the ass without lube. Poor guy fled to Europe.
Academic courts of today remind me of medieval clergy demanding their own pseudo courts to try clergy rather than regular courts.

I disagree. Many people meet their spouses at work, as I did. The answer is not to avoid relationships with the people you see the most, it's for people to be held accountable for provably illegal behavior, and not because they're part of a disfavored demographic. At the moment, we have the latter, but I wonder how many more incidents of gross abuse of rape allegations will be enough to make people rethink "believe all women". I hope we're getting close.

I suspect that there are fewer incidents of false accusation than real rape, that there are more times a man has raped a woman than a woman has falsely accused a man in court of raping her.
The difference is one of attitude and consequences. When a man rapes a woman, the other men want to beat him to death with axe handles. He goes to prison for decades and the other prisoners treat him like the scum he is.
When a woman accuses a man of rape, she's immediately supported by most men and all women. When its proven it was not rape many women continue to support her and a large percentage of people demand she be left alone because a woman's accusation is sacred. If you punish her, that will scare women off from accusing women of rape!
And the man's life is still ruined he forever after has a blight on his professional and personal relationships. It can end careers, end friendships, get them shunned even if its proven false.

You have to continue that list, schoolmates, rando strangers, etc. Nowadays, even prostitutes at the Bunny Ranch are suspect at claiming you raped them if they decide to do so.
I was around enough young male college students several years ago to see that many of them simply have decided not to bother with women around them. Not gay but not interested in getting screwed by institutions for being a guy if the girl decides later to revoke consent for any reason. Saw one poor guy get railroaded over it complete with a restraining order.

Sabatini's sued Knouse over the accusations and his firing. In court, Sabatini and his legal team, led by Lisa G. Arrowood, argued the relationship was consensual. They also presented evidence they said showed Knouse had become jealous of another woman Sabatini was interested in and had sought to have him fired.

His downfall began in 2020, when Knouse, an early career postdoctoral researcher at the Whitehead, accused him of sexual misconduct and harassment. She claimed Sabatini coerced her into a sexual relationship that lasted more than a year.
This woman isn't some doe-eyed, innocent ingenue, she's a f***ing PhD at one of the world's top institutions. Suggesting that she lacks agency is risible. How did he coerce her? Did he physically threaten her? Did he make her employment conditional on having sex with him? If the latter, she could report it, and move to another group.
In a word, she needed to man up. However, I don't think this was such a relationship. She clearly just didn't get out of it what she had hoped for.

Doesn't help that the apps have every reason to actually mess up matches because it keeps subscribers rather than a successful one that ends the subscription.
Modern life is full now of bad incentives which in turn lead to bad behaviors that are destructive to civilization.

Fair points, but one should still be able to express interest in a potential partner without it turning into a criminal case. The problem is the suspension of all judgement and logic when it comes to one of these incidents.

I still contend that it should have been thrown out immediately because the plaintiff could not provide a specific date of the alleged rape or even something close to it . That is highly prejudicial to the defense because they cannot attempt to provide an alibi defense.

Did y'all hear this story about the mother who left her kids and went to Vegas?
When I first heard about it, I couldn't imagine being so neglectful. But when I read more about it, I sided with the mother.
The oldest was 14. Most of us grew up with babysitters younger than that. The other kids were 12, 11, and 9. We're not talking about infants or toddlers. Many kids at that age are pretty easy to take care of.
She had an adult checking in on them after school.
She wasn't going to Vegas to party, she had a work trip.
She fully stocked the fridge and left money for pizza.
The kids' father is allegedly abusive and was out of the picture.
The 9 year old dropped a 5lb dumbbell on his head and the older kids knew to call 911 and get help. This could have happened just as easily with mom in the other room.
The system's response to this situation was to put the kids with the abusive father. Something tells me that's not better.

Posted by: Elric The Blade
Ordinary guys are screwed on the apps due to hypergamy. And like the in person dating meetups, guys have simply checked out. Ratios of men to women are absurd and getting worse rather than better.
Doesn't help that the apps have every reason to actually mess up matches because it keeps subscribers rather than a successful one that ends the subscription.
Modern life is full now of bad incentives which in turn lead to bad behaviors that are destructive to civilization.

None are Chads or drive Lamborghinis. None of the girls are model-pretty. They are all normal people, with normal jobs, and all found a mate online. It can be done.
It all depends on (i) which app you use and (ii) whether your expectations are reasonable.

their problems could be avoided if they just kept their cocks in their pants at work and around women that have power or authority over.
Power is an aphrodisiac for many women so these sort of junior female/senior male relationships are going to happen.
The old way this was resolved was separate male and female spaces but that idea is long dead.

Honestly? It's the lack of consent that makes having sex with toasters so hot. Knowing that they only want to make toast, but will only be receiving three inches of fully erect penis.

Bodycam footage shows Florida deputies arresting a mother at an airport after authorities say she left her four children, ages 9, 11, 12 and 14, home alone while traveling to Las Vegas for work.
Irene Miller, 50, was taken into custody Friday as she stepped off a plane. Two days earlier, one of her children had called 911 after a dumbbell fell on her 9-year-old brother's head.
When deputies arrived at the family's Kissimmee home, they found the children without adult supervision and had the injured boy taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. Miller now faces four counts of child neglect.

I think that Gaiman is a really weird dude with very strange fetishes, but nothing she described sounded like she was being coerced or forced. There are more than a few young women who will go after famous and influential creators hoping to get their career kickstarted -- and it works -- and are willing to do what it takes to make them happy even if it involves a gallon of yogurt, a kiddy pool, and three pygmy goats.
That they can complain about it later for more fame and clout is just a bonus.

Amanda wanted full custody of their son so she set up the babysitter as the accuser when she found out Neil was hooking up with her (consensually and they were separated).

Link doesn't work. But males are increasingly checking out of higher education and thus not even in the running for institutions anymore.
Political socialization is a vast topic where family, friends, and schooling all have effects and they are differentiated by the degree sought, the level of competition to get into the school, and first job network effects. Not my particular area of interest but was my wife's (also piled high and deeper before she went into econ). My focus was more political mobilization for a time as a masters and beginning PhD student. But yes, I am well aware of the literature albeit a bit old and moldy by now.

Women never lie about rape or sexual harassment.
Never, h8rz. Never never never
Last time I looked at the numbers between 2% and 80% of claims of sexual violence are false. The 2% number comes from studies where they only considered a claim false if the nominal victim confessed to making up the claims, the 80% comes from only 20% of cases reported to the police leading to a guilty verdict.
Feminists will quote the 2% number which is a silly stat, and you'll find anti-feminists quote the 80% which is also silly.
But since it is such a wide range it doesn't really tell us where the real number is.

My mom used to babysit for neighbors when she was 12. She's a boomer. It was common at the time for 12-14 year old girls to babysit.
Now? That would be considered child abuse.

I don't care for Neil Gaiman's writing, whether he's a grooming perv or not. Maybe the second most overrated writer out there this side King.
Taking the most generous view of Gaiman's antics, it sounds like he couldn't get laid in whorewhose with a sack full of bearer bonds and the world's last piece of chocolate.

Feminists will quote the 2% number which is a silly stat, and you'll find anti-feminists quote the 80% which is also silly.
But since it is such a wide range it doesn't really tell us where the real number is.

Selection bias and all that but people lie which is why the biblical commandment on Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness is in the top ten.

Irene Miller, 50, was taken into custody Friday as she stepped off a plane. Two days earlier, one of her children had called 911 after a dumbbell fell on her 9-year-old brother's head.
When deputies arrived at the family's Kissimmee home, they found the children without adult supervision and had the injured boy taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. Miller now faces four counts of child neglect.
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Where's My Cookie? at October 28, 2026 12:40 PM (ndZc7)
Well, I would say, technically she is guilty of child neglect, if child neglect is defined as lack of adult supervision for X time frame. She could have avoided this charge by simply hiring a minder for the kids to be there for the duration of the trip. I would not regard her as a bad mother for not doing this, but she had to know she was taking a risk.

Good! Fuck those pretentious commie pricks. I knew one of those "doctors" ... total arrogant asshole as well as a creep and surely a sex pest. I was 99% certain that all his "charity" work in 4th-world shitholes was to have easy access to desperate girls (or boys, I never was sure).

She's a DEI hire, too - apparently her publications record is very thin for a tenured MIT professor.
Well, then there's you answer. I wonder if he was on her tenure committee. Even if he wasn't, his opinion would have carried weight with those who were.

80s latch key kids say otherwise. During the day, a 14 year old is incredibly able to watch kids. People are around and easily contactable and available to help.
It's only overnight when unforseen crap can happen, help isn't easily available, and folks have to respond right out of sleep that you want an adult around.

About "V - (formerly known as Eve Ensler)":
“She is no longer Eve Ensler, not since writing her memoir, The Apology, which excavated the dead father who violently abused her throughout her childhood. She is now V, joyously freed from the last vestige of that prescribed paternal identity.”
– Arifa Akbar, The Guardian
V is a Tony and Obie award-winning, New York Times best-selling playwright, author, and activist with plays and books published in over 48 languages and performed in over 140 countries. The founder of V-Day, the global grassroots movement to end violence against all women and girls (cisgender, transgender, those who hold fluid identities, and nonbinary people), and the planet, she is also the founder of One Billion Rising, the biggest mass action campaign to end violence against all women and girls in over 200 countries, and the co-founder of City of Joy, a revolutionary leadership center for Congolese women survivors of violence in Bukavu, DRC.

Oh, that's not the worst of it. Steven King's middle-aged stand in character was part of the gangbang to "celebrate life".

Here's a good example of how dumb early vote analysis can lead one astray (note, the link is not to dumb analysis, but I will continue):
https://x.com/IAPrairiePop/status/
2115485927178936687
"Iowa Dems are up 15% in early voting in Iowa! It's a bloodbath for Republicans! They have no chance!"
Same day from 2022 when Reynolds won by 18% shows that Democrats were winning the early vote by 23%.
So, is the proper analysis to assume that this shows unusual strength from Democrats in Iowa? If you are a fucking retard, yes.
Otherwise, you look at it and realize that Democrats are running 8% behind the year that they lost the governor's mansion by 18% in early voting, when Democrats are at their strongest, and just write off the state as lost.

That said, there's a reason its good to have a mom and a dad around. Mom envisions everything that can go wrong, dad says "they will be fine, let's go."

My best friend's parents worked together and would leave him home alone at 14 for *weeks at a time.* Granted, there were other families on the street he could go to in an emergency, especially mine.
in that case, was the 14 year old watching younger children? no?
then NOT THE SAME

Because the left is full of terrible analysts, and the right is full of fear mongers who need you to click to up their engagement and pay their rents.

I had a Chemistry prof who started dating one of my undergrad peers. We all felt a kind of contempt for the guy, but she was of age and knew what she was doing.

The Chem professor in the lab next door did that. My girlfriend heard her complain that "yah we had sex, but I still got a C in Organic Chemistry. "

The mother missed her chance at redemption.
She should have said she was gambling in Las Vegas.
Then everyone would have said "Oh, it's her addiction" and would nod knowingly.
"Here's your kids back, and don't you do that again!"

I found out something in the last couple of weeks.
As I eschew blurring detail that blurs important distinctions, I want to make a note of it.
Land-owning head-of-household women could vote prior to the 19th amendment.
Women could vote--if they were in the same position of men that voted--save by that time unlanded bachelors could vote, I believe.
The 19th amendment was a move to individualism, where wives could offset their husband's vote.

80s latch key kids say otherwise. During the day, a 14 year old is incredibly able to watch kids. People are around and easily contactable and available to help.
It's only overnight when unforseen crap can happen, help isn't easily available, and folks have to respond right out of sleep that you want an adult around.

I started watching my siblings when I was 11.
By the time I was 14, I was babysitting neighbors' kids, as well as watching my siblings.

GOOD...VERY GOOD NEWS FOR MEN!!!
I hope $6 million will recoup his financial losses and help fix his reputation for future jobs.
Again a revenge #MeToo for this pathetic woman who felt rejected because he kissed another woman. In reality she was climbing that corporate ladder as well as having a fling, feeling dominant and going to his hotel room like a hussy.
While he's not bad looking, he's not a knock out, putting notches in his belt. He looks kind in photos, not the smexy professor of conquest.
Her? She looks average. Probably very brainy, considering the profession. However! Because there's always a however with me: someone needs to help her with her eyebrows as she's plucking too much near the end of her eyebrow. Not that that matters as she's a mean ole beetch and has beady eyes. Her reputation, at least with future men, is now in tatters.
I bet she railed and wept and pounded out a story to a sub reddit after the verdict.
She didn't think it would go this way in a liberal state. Well, finally, it did!
THIS time, vs Title IX in universities, texts of consensual sex mattered. Hallelujah!

If anybody wants to know how insidious this plot against him was they need to watch this video.

Pay particular attention to how a legal team was hired to destroy him and how they overlooked all the objections and steamrolled over student witnesses to paint a picture that wasn’t true.

And this is why you never f*ck your students, your employees, or your co-workers.
If your university doesn't have this as a written policy, that even consensual sexual relationships between persons in these categories are forbidden, they're just asking for trouble.
At least this one didn't end in a murder-suicide like the one at my university (prior to the "no fraternization" policy) did.

> Don't stick your dick in crazy, we all know that one, right? Well, don't stick your dick in coworkers either, and especially not subordinates
Women seek out powerful (rich, influential, charismatic) men for sex. Many men in positions of power are fully aware of this and leverage it. From the sounds of things, Sabatini was tomcatting around the workplace. This wasn't "I thought she was the one! How could she do this to me!", this was "Miss Chesty, can you join me in my office for some dictation."
That doesn't justify what she did, but exhorting people like him not to have relationships at work is missing the target. For people like him it's a perk of the position.
