As Predicted: Tuq'r Qarlson Essentially Endorses Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed By Saying He Would Only Vote for His Opponent Mike Rogers "At Gunpoint" Because He's a "Tool of Israel"

OUT: GOPe NeverTrump

IN: Nazi NeverTrump

Tuq'r's also been calling Ben Shapiro a Perfidious Jew who undermines America for Israel by pumping us full of pornography and gambling. The gambling, because Kalshi is a sponsor on Daily Wire, I guess?

I guess Tuq'r forgot his Arab business partner just led a huge investment into Polymarkets.

And porn? Ben Shaprio is weakening us with porn?

You mean his sister? Because that's the only thing remotely sexy about Shapiro.

Meanwhile, Tuq'r has tongue-bathed the balls of rapist, white slaver, and pornographer Andrew Tate, who's also gay-for-pay -- when men would pay to chat with the camgirl he broke using pimp "loverboy" tactics (including rape and beatings), Tate would pretend to be the camgirl and talk about s***ing their d**ks and betting them to f*** him up the a**.

Now that's what I call a patriot and a real man's man for today's youth to look up to.

DHS: An Ignored 1996 Clinton-Era Law Says That States Have to Report the Number of Illegals Receiving Federal Benefits Like SNAP. We're Going to Start Enforcing It Now.

The law was passed insincerely, I imagine, with both Clinton and corporate-owned fake "conservatives" pretending they didn't want to take American's tax payments and deliver them to foreign criminals.

But insincerely or not, political ploy or not, they passed it. There is no "We only passed this to con the rubes" exception to federal legislation. Look it up. I didn't, but I assume there's not one.

Finally, someone is going to actually enforce it.


States now must report undocumented immigrants to DHS or risk federal funding, DOJ says


* All states going forward must report undocumented immigrants known to be in a state to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or risk losing federal funding for programs meant to aid low-income individuals, the Department of Justice said in a new legal opinion.

* The DOJ, in issuing the opinion, revised the Office of Legal Counsel's prior opinion from 1998, which found that only specific state agencies that administered the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the Supplemental Security Income programs needed to provide information to federal immigration authorities.

* "When a state chooses to participate in TANF, it accepts the obligation to report illegal aliens in the United States," Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser said. "Tax dollars intended to help vulnerable Americans should not perversely encourage illegal entry into the United States, but rather should reinforce our laws and our borders."

...

The DOJ, in issuing the opinion, revised the Office of Legal Counsel's prior opinion from 1998, which found that only specific state agencies that administered the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the Supplemental Security Income programs needed to provide information to federal immigration authorities.

"Congress wrote this requirement plainly," Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser of the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel, said in a statement.

"When a state chooses to participate in TANF, it accepts the obligation to report illegal aliens in the United States," Gaiser said. "Tax dollars intended to help vulnerable Americans should not perversely encourage illegal entry into the United States, but rather should reinforce our laws and our borders."

The DOJ in a statement Wednesday said the Office of Legal Counsel's Sept. 1 opinion "explains that Congress defined 'State' broadly in the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996."

"As a result, when a state accepts federal TANF or SSI funds, the entire state government -- including all component agencies -- is bound by federal law to share information with DHS about individuals the state knows to be not lawfully present," the DOJ said.

The new opinion only applies proactively, not to past enrollments in TANF and SSI.

All 50 states, the District of Columbia and several U.S. territories participate in both programs. Federal TANF funding grants top $16.4 billion annually, according to the DOJ.

California AG Rob Bonta says he will not comply with the law because Trump is changing the law by following the wording of the law.

Gigantic mutant slothbeast "Big Tish" James says she's "reviewing" the DOJ's demand, in between fabricating new rape charges against Trump.


Breccan F. Thies of The Federalist:

As The Federalist reported, the Clinton administration took numerous actions to pave the way for illegal aliens to come into the country, especially those who offer nothing to American society and were virtually guaranteed to leech off the welfare system.

That included trashing the "public charge" rule that had governed American immigration law for at least 100 years, which said that an immigrant should not be admitted into the country if he was unlikely to be able to take care of himself without government assistance.

Now it is estimated that 59 percent of illegal immigrant households are on at least one welfare program, and 52 percent of legal immigrant households are in the same position. Meanwhile, 39 percent of native-born Americans use at least one welfare program, which is still an enormous amount, but the fact remains that the programs are for Americans, not foreigners.

Related: Mexifornia received 80% of federal aid for illegals because they wrote their own rules to make illegals eligible.

California accounted for more than 80% of all federal welfare cash assistance provided to households headed by illegal immigrants in 2024, according to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services.

The report found that $759 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families cash assistance was provided to 85,277 households nationwide in which a child qualified for benefits while a parent was living in the United States illegally.

No state came close to California's share of spending, with $617.5 million. The second-place recipient, New York, received just $47.5 million--less than one-tenth of California's total.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, was created to provide temporary assistance to low-income families. TANF recipients are generally required to work and are limited to 60 months of benefits over a lifetime.

Because parents living in the country illegally are generally ineligible for TANF benefits, assistance in these cases is provided on behalf of eligible children living in the household.

Unlike traditional TANF recipients, these child-only cases are not subject to federal work requirements or the program's five-year lifetime limit, allowing benefits to continue until a child turns 18.

The report's authors noted that the arrangement creates a disparity between American families receiving TANF and immigrant households receiving child-only benefits.

"The result is a striking disparity: needy American families are held to TANF's central work and time-limit rules, while households headed by immigration-status-ineligible parents can receive child-only cash assistance under a structure that bypasses those rules and can allow support to continue from birth through age 18."
freestar

The report estimated that affected households received an average of roughly $742 per month, or about $8,900 annually.

Between 2001 and 2024, approximately $18.3 billion in TANF assistance was distributed through these child-only cases, while their share of the total TANF caseload increased from 5.8% to 10%.

American AF 🇺🇸
@iAnonPatriot

SNAP and Section 8 cost U.S. taxpayers $138 billion last year, and that is before Medicaid, SSI, and the rest. Food is expensive in part because 42 million people are buying groceries with a card someone else funded.

The damage is not only the bill. When tens of millions of people organize their month around a government check, they stop voting on the country and start voting on the benefit. Borders, crime, and debt become background noise next to the one question that matters to them: who will keep the groceries and the rent voucher flowing.

Milton Friedman put it plainly: you cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.

PROOF Democrats have lied about illegals getting every benefit America offers, including free housing

California resident "I used to work for the county in social services" for the state

She's exposing it all, she says they qualify illegals for all benefits without any social security numbers

"I used to work in the social services department, so any public benefits, we're talking Medicaid, food stamps, cash aid, disability, unemployment, veteran service, housing I did all the things"

"Here's the loophole. If somebody without a Social Security number, so somebody who's undocumented, applies for benefits, And they do qualify for benefits, by the way. They qualify for

- Full Medicaid
- Housing
- Migrant Head Start. That's fully paid childcare
- If these people have any kids that are US citizens, meaning that they're born here, then they apply for benefits for their kids
- $1,200 per kid plus $275 per person cash food stamps.

That doesn't include housing, all the other benefits they get. And here in California, they don't even care. They don't even hide it.

I used to have women and some men that would come in straight up with their nails did, their hair done blonde, bleach blonde, Gucci bags, Gucci glasses, driving up on Escalades, chewing gum super loud, saying, "Where's my welfare check?" I used to live in a neighborhood where 70% of the people around me were undocumented, and man, did they live the life. New cars, parties every weekend"

"Meanwhile, US citizens, we don't qualify for sickity shit. We don't qualify for nada, nothing. It was so common where the women or the moms in my community that were undocumented, they wouldn't work.

They would have their own community of stay-at-home moms while US citizen moms would have to go out and work because we can't afford to live"

"We need to do better. The state of California needs to do better. We all need to get on the same page here"

Here's more information not mentioned:

- California expanded full-scope Medi-Cal to undocumented adults regardless of status, covering doctor visits, hospital care, dental, and more. As of 2025, over l.7 MILLION undocumented illegals were enrolled

- Undocumented parents qualify for benefits on behalf of their US citizen anchor babies. This includes CalFresh (food stamps), cash aid, and up to $1,200+ per child plus extras

- California runs Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants. This is a 100% state-funded program giving monthly cash to aged or disabled non-citizens ineligible for federal SSI due to immigration status

You are literally paying for illegals to retire in America and get checks forever

You should be furious.

People have finally had it with the Diverse and Vibrant Economic Contributions of foreign scammers who come here and suck the welfare teat all their lives:

Hello! How are you?

I'm glad Trump is continuing to push on this issue.

50 Uncle Sams knows who is here legally or illegally because they PAY TAXES!!!!!!! Yet they don’t qualify for welfare benefits

Undocumented immigrants who hold jobs that are taxed are what..? Paying. Taxes. They contribute billions, but thanks to the hate that is in many uneducated Americans hearts, they will be gone and the "well" will dry up

The States do not know where undocumented immigrants are. When you get a driver's license "not for federal purposes" no one asks you about your immigration status. this is again flooding the zone with shit to make States handing over voter rolls to the regime.

It’s fake news to scare immigrants do not believe this. New York State pays so much tax for the federal government that literally every southern states will go hungry if New York stops paying taxes to the federal gov.

I’m confused, because illegal residents are unable to apply for any type of assistance and would be stupid to do so?

lllinois has some really robust laws against information sharing with ICE. State law explicitly limits when immigration status can be recorded. I can’t see how a court could order Illinois to release records.

54 NY is running the same exact scam as California. You can see that illegals are flocking to the state because they’ve promised them the taxpayer dollars and benefits will keep flowing. It’s sickening to watch American citizens who are elderly, disabled or just down on their luck get pushed to the aside because of Democrats love for illegal immigrants. These illegals are also brazen in their grab of benefits. You can see them in the grocery stores loading up their carts on the taxpayers dime while elderly people are picking from the weekly sale flyer. What people don’t realize is that taxpayer funded giveaway is driving up the price of housing, food and everything else they consume for Americans. It’s also the case in NJ. The entire op by Democrats is disgraceful. It’s also designed to get their votes. Why else would you do this to your alleged constituents and fight any attempt to secure elections?

69 Step #1) It's illegal for undocumented immigrants to vote, and it's not happening.

Step #2) There are a few undocumented immigrants voting, but it's not enough to change electoral outcomes.

Step #3) There are undocumented immigrants voting in a few cities and states, but they pay taxes and deserve representation.

Step #4) It's racist to deny undocumented immigrants the right to vote.

YMMV

91 Why did it take two years to realize that the 1996 welfare reform bill did this?
These guys don't even know what the existing laws are and they're eager to add more? Dopes.
Anyways, the democrat argument for illegal immigration (the lie they tell us) is that we need the labor, nobody white wants to do the jobs, they grow the economy because everyone needs a car a tv a refrigerator...
What actually happens is they use so much in benefits that would have gone to citizens that no amount of labor-added value can make up for what it lost, at least not from the governments ledgers.

There's the rub. Those illegals who do add to the economic output add to business earnings more than the tax coffers, so we the people subsidize not only the illegals but the businesses who profit from them.

Where's that blue pill? I tire of this.

95 One of the most infuriating aspects of our political system is the complete lack of respect for the taxpayers. When someone says, "Congress must cough up massive amounts of money to pay for my problem", I hear that as, "you, Oglebay, must cough up massive amounts of money for me, you stupid, useless hick."

The state takes may money from me at gunpoint, rams the butt of the gun into my ribs and laughs as I writhe in the dirt. Then the money goes into some program that does nothing I think needs doing just so it can be laundered back into the pockets of the state mafia.

Oh well, off to the bank to deposit my social security cheque!

97 Up until the 1970's, the Democrats base was primarily blue collar, white unionized voters and their families.
Then, the Democrats abandoned those voters for urban Blacks that were dependent on Welfare and could be reliably counted on to vote Democrat.
Now, the Democrats have deserted urban Blacks and built a new base of Brown immigrants, legal or not, that they shovel untold billions of tax dollars towards, in many cases thru fraud. This permanent underclass provides cheap services to rich progressives.

Federal immigration officials are making their presence known across Indianapolis.

Videos appearing to show ICE agents making arrests are spreading online.

U.S. Rep. André Carson, who represents Indianapolis, is also asking more information about the reported ICE operations.

Carson is asking officials to provide his office with numbers on who is detained, their criminal histories, ICE’s current policies and where detainees are being held.

He's also asking federal immigration officials whether local police departments are helping with the effort.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said its officers are not assisting with ICE operations.

Her parents came her from Canada. When my wife's parents moved to American, they had to have a sponsor who took financial responsibility for them in case the job my late father-in-law had lined up didn't work out.

In other words, the sponsor was on the financial hook if my in-laws became deadbeats. The system at the time did not allow immigrants to collect from the welfare system.

146 SSDI was already opened up to non citizens by Congress. It does wonderful things like allows people who have some level of “legal” status to bring their sick or disabled family members who are not citizens and put them on SSDI.

Go look at the year that went into effect and the subsequent years. It is when the program started to go underwater.

Just another thing Congress hasn’t fixed.

147 When you throw a block party, with drinks and food, you have to limit it to the fcking block. Because if you don't, you will attract the whole subdivision and their mfking relatives . . .

The US declared a block party and invited the WORLD. The WORLD saw the free shit and moved here. A lot of them did not decide to open businesses, unless you consider drugs or human trafficking a business.

Its not wrong to say that the entire situation is a dumpster fire. That doesn't mean immigration should be zero, it does mean they need to clean it up, and enforce the laws. The illegals aren't the best of the best. Face it. Illegal immigration is dragging the country down.

The poorest state in the U.S., Mississippi, still has a higher per-capita GDP than the United Kingdom, which is heavily goosed by international finance center London. Imagine if New York came in last, despite having Wall Street! We could end all Federal welfare (not social insurance) and student loan programs, leaving them entirely up to the states, and even Mississippi would be juuuust fiiiine, compared to the rest of the world.

In fact, I have argued (and will continue to) that we should do exactly that. Keep Social Security and Medicare, and end all the block grant programs, to be replaced with nothing. They were the replacement for the Federally administered welfare programs, which were terrible, and it turns out that states are terrible too -- especially when the money they're spending comes from another entity's budget.

The legal immigration pipeline is being strangled as much as legally possible now.

https://x.com/derzum_/status/
2095517123409789335

The administration can only do so much on its own, though, since certain visa classes are "shall issue" as outlined in statute. Further restrictions have to come from Congress.

It took about 40 years of agitation and effort to get the 1926 immigration ban passed by Congress. So, not everything being done in 17 months of Trump's second administration is kind of a high bar to clear.

This is most likely true, however there is nothing that says the IRS has to accept fake or mistaken SSN, for example, to show employer qualification for write offs on the wages paid.
In fact, in strict accounting the IRS should reject such write offs to employers, unitl the employer can get the employee to stop falsifying the employers quarterly returns.

The Thursday Morning Rant

doof-headphones-chimp.jpg

We are nearly 60 days away from mid-term general election day. How much turnover will there be in Congress? Not Enough! Until we have term limits for members of Congress, there will continue to be way too many incumbents occupying space in the US Capitol for countless terms.

We The People strongly support term limits for members of Congress. Ballot measures in the 90s were very popular with voters. Voters in 14 states approved ballot initiatives in 1992, and 1994 saw at least 6 of 8 additional states' voters approve ballot measures. So approximately 20 states impose term limits on their members of Congress, right? Wrong!

In 1995, the US Supreme Court ruled Congressional term limit measures and amendments passed at individual state levels to be unconstitutional. The case was U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton. As in Ray Thornton, Democrat member of Congress from Arkansas. He and his allies sued the state after passage of Amendment 73 to the Arkansas Constitution - which limited US House members to 3 terms and US Senate members to 2 terms.

The organization US Terms Limits was founded in 1992, and it still exists today. According to their website

U.S. Term Limits is the nation’s largest nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to advocating for term limits. We believe that a government of the people, by the people, and for the people—not a ruling class focused on self-serving deals—is essential.

Our mission is to foster a higher quality of government by establishing a citizen legislature. This legislature would more accurately reflect its constituents and be genuinely responsive to their needs. We work tirelessly with citizens across the nation, helping them understand why term limits are a necessary government reform and how to implement this vision from their local town councils all the way to Congress.

It’s important to note that U.S. Term Limits does not require individuals to self-limit their terms. Our aim is to limit the terms for all members of Congress as an institution, ensuring a more dynamic and accountable representative body.

US Term Limits is trying to get support from enough states to force Congress to call for an Article V convention

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress...

How much progress have they made?

The U.S. Constitution provides the state legislatures authority to propose amendments without the approval of Congress. To make it happen, 34 state legislatures must pass resolutions to call a convention for the states to propose a congressional term limits amendment.

Now, here is where it gets a bit complicated. The states don’t always pass the exact same application. So, today there are fourteen state legislatures that have passed the U.S. Term Limits (USTL) single-subject application for congressional term limits. However, there are 9 additional states that have passed applications that include congressional term limits and, therefore, are states we are prioritizing.

34 states have to pass the same application for the convention to be called. Then, any amendments proposed at the convention require ratification by 38 state legislatures.

27 amendments to the Constitution have been ratified. 6 others were proposed but not ratified. Do you know how many of the 33 proposed amendments came about through an Article V convention? ZERO! All 33 proposed amendments were the result of Congress - approved by 2/3 of EACH house of Congress.

On January 6, 2025 a resolution was introduced in the House - H. J. RES. 12

It's purpose - "Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve."

It would impose a 3-term limit on the House and a 2-term limit on the Senate.

What has happened to this amendment since then? It was referred to the House Judiciary Committee on the day it was introduced. That's it. No action at all. Big surprise, right? What are the chances ANY Congress will vote - by a 2/3 majority, no less - to impose term limits upon its members? As the saying goes - "between slim and none -- and Slim just left town!"

Saw this graphic recently. Absolutely ridiculous!

HQ0rhMUXsAAwlPL.jpg


Good for US Term Limits and the work they are doing. However, they are not even halfway to their goal of 34 states passing the same application.

They also have to overcome this kind of stupidity. Stopping a Dangerous Article V Convention

Wealthy donors, corporations, and radical far-right actors are pushing calls for an Article V Convention in states across the country to reshape our Constitution for their own benefit.

Frighteningly, they are just a few states away from succeeding.

***

Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, Congress is required to hold a constitutional convention if two-thirds of state legislatures (34 states) call for one.

But here’s the catch: there are absolutely no rules for an Article V Convention outlined in the Constitution.

That means the group of people convening to rewrite our Constitution could be totally unelected and unaccountable. There is nothing that could limit the convention to a single issue, so the delegates could write amendments that revoke any of our most cherished rights – like our right to peaceful protest, our freedom of religion, or our right to privacy. There are also no rules preventing corporations from pouring money into the convention to ensure they get their way.

I guess they missed the text in Article V that says the convention's purpose is amendments, not rewriting the Constitution. And also the part about 3/4 of the states needing to ratify any amendments that may arise at a Convention of the States.

So we have Congress refusing to act and clueless people spouting nonsense about a convention being dangerous.

We really aren't going to be able to vote our way out of this, are we?

21 I'm generally opposed to taking away choice from the people, but an analogy occurred to me that MIGHT make me endorse term limits. That analogy is to those who insist that an absolute free market is best, since people can reach their own decisions. However, it is also clear that this only works in a world where information is unhindered, and people really do know what's going on. That is almost never the case.

Something similar applies to elections. People are easily fooled, and those already in office have a plethora of tools to fool them. Thus, it isn't really a free election.

I will ponder.

The notion of a true representative republic grows more ludicrous every day. The people have precious little choice in who the parties find acceptable even before the primaries. Then the money men decide who get backing.
Then the most partisan voters in the district decide the primaries and in the general we're left with a choice of two pre-selected idjits out of a population of whatever (10s of thousands to literally millions)

It's what makes Trump such a unicorn, that he's the exception to a pretty hard and fast rule.
That rule is that the people will get the choice We give them.

75 As much as various parts of the constitution need patching up, I don't think we will survive an article V convention. The progs cannot and will not behave themselves and there is no chance we don't come out of it with dealbreakers.

1A and 2A are obviously non-negotiable, just look at the EU and the rest of the anglosphere. These are hard red lines when you're talking about jail for internet comments, hordes of rapists and murderers, and prog goons operating with near impunity.

Conversely, I don't think we are gonna make it regardless. We'd be shooting at each other right now already if Harris had "won". There is little chance of the dems not flipping out if they get back in power. We simply can't share a nation with them.

Also, you can't hold more than two Federal offices in your life, whether elected or appointed.



If you want to run for either the House or Senate, you have to resign any elected/appointed office, local/state/federal BEFORE filing. If you really want more responsibility in a higher office, you should concentrate 100% on that race. Hedging your bets by maintaining a stranglehold on your previous office just shows that you're not serious.

Not so sure about that. We have weak mayors where the City Council runs everything.

The Governor can exec order and veto and all that good stuff. The PEOPLE vote for constitutional amendments. He can also call the legislature back into session if he sees there's something they need to address ASAP.

Texas Republicans voted to impeach Ken Paxton. The judge put a gag order on him, while Karl Rove was allowed to wrote op-eds in the Wall Street Journal trashing and lying about Paxton unabated.

In the trial, the FBI, who was called to investigate Paxton, got on the stand and advised the court they "found no evidence whatsoever" that Paxton did anything wrong, accepted bribes or violated any laws in any instance.

Talarico is now running ads about how "even Republicans voted to impeach him" because he's just so corrupt.

Indeed, the intramural fight between old boomer Democraps and younger DSA scabs trying to take over is a major animating principle for my optimism that we're gonna win in November. None of this would be possibly with term limits.

The real problem, as I see it, isn't the lack of term limits. It's Democrap vote fraud (which we are working on) and an inexplicable lack of voter enthusiasm on our side (which I hope we are working on).

Abbott’s actually done as good a job with it as any past Governor I can think of. He’s the head of the bureaucracy, and influences policy through his personnel choices there. He has no control at all over the Legislature, but the Lt. Governor has a lot of influence over the Senate.

Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and all Judges and County officials are independently elected positions, so the Governor has no influence over them or their departments.

- Each state gets a vote and there are more red states.

And one of the changes they will make is the removal of the ability to have a convention again to fix it. They may be evil but they are not dumb.

179 I completely agree that anyone, from either party, who has been squatting in Congress for decades is a menace to the country. It rots their awareness and priorities.

HOWEVER, what is never discussed is the tenure of the staffers, and how much power they wield. For example, I read that Thune inherited McConnell's staffers when he took over Senate leadership -- and then promptly lead exactly like McConnell. Gee, I wonder why?

Not that each of these elected officials aren't responsible for how they perform, but there is an army of uniparty staffers* who ensure that DC functions the same way, regardless of who they are working for. They wield a lot more power than we understand, while remaining nameless and unaccountable to people outside of DC.

But it's fascinating because of the mindset. They HAVE to have a system to work within because they want to gain power and then make their OWN system.

The brutal truth is: there are no rules. This is a dangerous world and if enough people decided commies were a dangerous threat and decided to just start summarily executing them... well. And the converse is ALSO true. They do not make this fundamental connection to the nature of power and governance. WHY trying to hamstring government power is THE point. Because a 1000 autonomous units with small portions of power and the lessened ability to effect other people is FAR better than an all powerful government that has the power to effect EVERYONE.

Something similar applies to elections. People are easily fooled, and those already in office have a plethora of tools to fool them. Thus, it isn't really a free election.

Posted by: runner at September 03, 2026 11:56 AM (g47mK)

239 Good rant.

While the federal legislative branch lacks restrictions, state-level government is a completely different landscape...

State Governors: 36 states impose some form of term limit on their executive branch. Most limit a governor to two consecutive four-year terms, though some allow them to run again after sitting out a term.

State Legislators: 15 states legally limit the terms of state senators and representatives. These limits vary from 8 to 12 total years per chamber, or a cumulative career cap (like California's 12-year lifetime limit across both chambers).

The actual deciding factor, above, is whether a state allows Direct Democracy (ballot initiatives). In the early 1990s, a massive nationwide populist movement pushed for term limits. Voters overwhelmingly approved them in nearly every state where citizens are legally allowed to put proposals directly onto the ballot. In states like Illinois, Pennsylvania, or New York, the public cannot easily bypass the legislature via ballot initiatives. Because politicians rarely vote to limit their own jobs, those states never adopted them.

294 >>SpaceX is the only vertically integrated AI company, enabling it to build and manufacture around bottlenecks at a time when pricing for AI compute is rising. Alphabet's Google (GOOG, GOOGL) is paying the company $11 per GPU-hour, roughly double the average rates observed a year ago, according to the note.

Elon's about 6 to 12 months ahead of everyone else. It was "just discovered" by the conventional wisdom a week or two ago that turbine blades are backordered for two years and he was talking about that in January.

And with frontier models growing to a 4-horse race (Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceXAI, and now Meta) capacity demand isn't going down.

Right. Like the way the convention to reform the Articles of Confederation just proposed amendments and did not write the Constitution.

Likewise, you have nothing to offer against the core assertion that there are no limits on what such a convention can propose.
Repeal the 1st Amendment?
Repeal the 2nd Amendment?
Eliminate the Electoral College?
All could be proposed.

Would they pass?
Would a term limit amendment pass?
Would they be ratified?
Would a term limit amendment be ratified?

Every time I see advocacy for an Article V Convention it is presented as a guaranteed panacea when it is obviously no such thing.
That alone should make anyone suspicious of anyone promoting it, doubly so when they have nothing to rebut criticisms.

The Morning Report — 9/ 3 /26

FishBikes.jpg

Good morning kids. Well to start things off we have this bit of breaking news

Gloria Steinem, the pioneering feminist, writer and activist who helped define the modern women’s movement, has died at 92.

If I want to be kind, and given the utter societal rot that she and others of her ilk precipitated over the past 60 years or so, I find it extremely difficult, so whatever legitimate grievances that women had which begat the women's movement, Steinem certainly played a pivotal role in bringing them to the fore. But at least from my perspective, like the civil rights movement, and our society's natural movement away from segregation and the evils of racism, women ultimately would have gained equal status thanks to the Judeo-Christian and American ethic that undergird society in the first place. Of course the anti-American Democrat/Left have been doing their damndest to tear that all down in their unslakeable lust for absolute power and so especially over the past 60 years they have corrupted every legitimate political movement in order not to build a more perfect union but to tear down the closest that humanity has ever come to it, the American experiment. And yet we're still here, but only just.


And moving on to some horrific news from late yesterday afternoon out of Minneapolis. Yikes, we're stuck in an endless loop of alternate universe Mary Tyler Moore shows.

At least six people, including two police officers, were shot in downtown Minneapolis Wednesday around 4:50 p.m. local time.

No doubt P3DO adjacent/suspected governor Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey will do their best to obfuscate and cover up the identity and background of the shooter, who is in custody per the reports, and lead the call for the destruction of the Second Amendment, despite Minnesota already being one of the strictest anti-2A states in the nation as it is. Having zero information about the perp, but in every case like this that I can recall, the shooter was not a member of the NRA or GOA, but it's the guns, and white people and toxic masculinity (that's for you Gloria Steinem).


Meanwhile in another part of the forest...

‘I Like To Kill Jews’: Columbia Protester Upheld by Media as Gentle Peace Activist Is Accused of Supporting Terrorists, Boasting He Can Use a Machine Gun, in Scathing New Report. . . The Palestinian Columbia student, Mohsen Mahdawi, is currently fighting deportation

Oh no, the infamy! We can't have that can we?!

Meh, who needs this when we have our own homegrown Zyklon A-Z sucking self-gassers ready willing and able to line us all up for the aforementioned fiend before inhaling deeply!

But addressing an event for Michigan Jewish Democrats, Nessel made her best case in a speech that will last long past this cycle because of the nakedness of its horrifying argument.

“We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival,” Nessel told Jewish Democrats. Those “needs of the world” required Jews to vote for Democrats, including presumably El-Sayed, who had made excuses for a Muslim terrorist attack against Jewish children in the preschool of a Michigan Temple.

With Jews like Dana Nessel we don't need the Einsatzgruppen. Yes sir that's my Yasser!!!! Evil filthy drunken slag shitwhore needs to have dinner with Gloria Steinem, soon!

Finally, I note yet again with a mix of puzzlement, curiosity and satisfaction the anomaly that is John Fetterman.

. . . Like, the DSA, they’re deeply anti-American,” Fetterman said. “They’re deeply anti-capitalism. They’re deeply anti-the American way of life.”

Fetterman continued to point out that “when you look at the kind of individuals that are actually in the DSA,” they live in homes that their parents bought for millions of dollars.

“They want to impoverish middle class whites, and seize all the production,” Fetterman continued. “I would think every single Democrat should condemn the DSA. This is not like a big tent situation, they should have their own entire party, and run alone as the kinds of communists, and socialists, and anti-American party that they are.”

Regardless of why he is publicly destroying the DSA while no doubt still embracing core Democrat/Liberal beliefs and shibboleths, his overt broadsides are needed, loudly, frequently and repeatedly. That they are coming most effectively from him and not from anyone in the GOP is frustrating and telling. So give 'em hell Lumpy!

Have a good day.

54 The article that mentions Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper": I've seen no less than three different interpretations of that story. Straightforward horror tale, portrait of schizophrenia, and the latest, male oppression and exaltation of feminism.

Remarkable that the story has had such legs. Personally I prefer the first two interpretations, maybe combined -- the woman confined to her room is already tending to the schizophrenic, and something evil is able to slither into her disordered mind.

62 UN Committee Wants Countries to Implement Slavery Reparations

Define Slavery. The kind of "slavery" that demands reparations.

Define Reparations. Give us the argument that "reparations" are the only remedy. Indicate the moral authority for this plan of action.

Tell us exactly how much reparations cost, explain in detail how you arrived at that number, and give examples of where reparations solved the underlying problem and brought peace, joy and justice.

Because you can't even define "justice".

65 Feminism is part and parcel of the Marxist project. It is the rejection of the fact that men and women are inherently different. The Communist viewpoint is that human nature is immaterial in shaping human society. The Communist requirements to adopt, embrace and promote the useful lie necessitates the rejection of objective truth.

You could almost extend the idea. The recent state of Marxist thought is Critical Everything Theory. So their premise is not that men and women are entirely congruent and fungible. The plan is to goad people into thinking deep down that women actually *are* inferior, and therefore deserve to be placed on a pedestal while men are denigrated and torn down, because you must reflexively treat everything as the opposite of what it is.

There's something really nefarious about it, and you see the same thing everywhere. All blacks are psychotic sociopaths and so must be celebrated. All hispanics are murderers and rapists and drug dealers. All women are unstable nutjobs. etc etc. I'm not the one saying any this shit. They are.

Banking: before making a wire transfer, another employee must approve before funds released.

Trading: before a portfolio manager proposes a trade, risk management, compliance and a trading supervisor need to approve.

Surgical Time-outs: before surgery multiple participants verify correct patient, procedure and body part.

They could demand accountability and sign-off before a compliance officer approves along with factoring in consequences for abuse—but they won't do it because they don't care.

Having zero information about the perp, but in every case like this that I can recall, the shooter was not a member of the NRA or GOA, but it's the guns, and white people and toxic masculinity (that's for you Gloria Steinem).

What I'm seeing is he's dead? Here's a CBS report Minneapolis reddit is discussing; https://tinyurl.com/5e5822nk

...the suspect is 35-year-old Carlton Neal Johnson...Minneapolis Police Chief Bill Peterson said police were familiar with the suspect...

...This is at least the second deadly shooting inside the apartment building in just under a year. A man shot and killed two other men there late last September...

...While officials do not know a motive for the shooting, the suspect had been evicted from his apartment earlier Wednesday.

The suspect's eviction came after a series of threats involving guns. On June 19, the suspect made verbal threats about using a gun and showed a gun to a security officer. Days later, he allegedly threatened a resident with a gun and walked around the block with a firearm visible.

The suspect has a past conviction for domestic violence.

Abdiwakil Mohamed, from south Minneapolis, said he heard the gunshots as he was driving down La Salle Avenue...

152 The Judeo-Christian tradition was alive and well in Gloria Steinhem.

A feminist Seder became her strongest connection to Jewish ritual. Steinem participated for decades in an annual women’s Seder, calling it the first spiritually centered experience of her feminist life. What drew her to Judaism, she said, wasn’t the law it was “the mystical part, the Kabbalah, the Shechinah.

197 Steinem was an abomination and corrupted God’s rituals and practices for her evil predilections. She almost single handily created the abortion industry and normalized it into a widespread practice of eliminating the children of God. She was also the original AWFL, and led the destruction of the nuclear, traditional family- all for the false panacea of a job in corporate America. Many of the ills you see today, and the extremely sick, twisted, anti human views of women can be traced back to her. No, you can’t “have it all” because in the end that’s a coping mechanism for your personal failure to focus on what’s most important. That’s a universal maxim, not some gender driven truth. In the end she was a purveyor of falsehoods, sophism, and fallacy. That’s her truthful and easily proven legacy.

Video footage shared by local media showed Mamdani touring the store and speaking with community members. One man presented him with honey, traditionally eaten during the Jewish New Year, while another demonstrated the blowing of a shofar, according to The Boro Park Scoop.

Mamdani wished those gathered “Shana Tova," the traditional greeting for Rosh Hashanah, which begins at sundown on September 11.

228 "ALPR's" don't just read the plate. Increasingly they're augmented with advanced AI technologies to identify vehicles with unique attributes. Like a bumper sticker, a damaged quarter panel, aftermarket wheels, etc. And some can identify the driver and front seat passenger.

All this makes cyberstalking pretty easy for someone with access to find whomever they're fixated on.

Lastly, why are some of these things pointed at areas that kids, children frequent? Or gun shops. Or weed dispensaries. It's certainly not to capture a license plate.

231 It seems like the reporting is a bit different when muslims are victims of violence versus when they are the perpetrators. Perhaps it's simply that reporters can't be bothered to chaise down the details for dog-bites-man stories, and the latter would be in that category.

Anyway, here are a few lines from a recent NYT story:

A 17-year-old North Carolina girl was charged with murder after she coordinated with gunmen to livestream a fatal shooting at a San Diego mosque this year, the authorities said Monday.

The girl, Sarah Santiago of Forsyth County, N.C., was arrested last week, and a grand jury indicted her on three counts of murder and one count of conspiracy on Monday, according to Jim O’Neill, the district attorney. She is being charged as an adult.

Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego on May 18, an attack that was investigated as a hate crime and that heightened concerns about rising Islamophobia. Both were found dead inside a vehicle that contained anti-Islamic writings after the shooting.

Amid growing evidence that links birth control pills with changes in stress responses, cognition, libido, and mood—including an increased risk for depression in adulthood if taken during adolescence—researchers are calling for more attention to the issue.

“We lack basic, mechanistic information about how women’s bodies and brains work, and how synthetic hormones interact with normal biological processes,” said Summer Mengelkoch, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, who studies women’s stress responses. . .

Back to Toddler Ethics. If she can't get her children to share their toys, to quit yelling at or hitting their siblings, even after she consumes massive quantities of drugs and alcohol to help her cope, then to bring peace she must murder all of the toddlers.

Now no more yelling or hitting, and no one is being selfish with their things.

302 The most likely explanation for the JFK hit was that it was Allen Dulles, the ex-CIA head that JFK had fired, in an off-the-books operation. Dulles already had several coups and assassinations to his credit. Including a failed hit on de Gaulle.

Dulles wanted to force JFK's hand to turn the Bay of Pigs incursion into a full invasion with US air support. Dulles was behind US incursions in Iran and Guatemala and Africa. And let's not forget Vietnam.

304 Hello, Horde! 😊💕

The nicest thing that I can say about Ms. Steinem is that she didn't have any living children.

That is a truly sad "legacy" to leave behind - all that scrap about "independence", and in the end she died alone with no loved ones to take care of her.

Now she can spend eternity being haunted by the child she aborted constantly asking her why she killed them.

This is pure rage against a government who is completely operating in opposition of the people. I’m also starting to wonder whether this clown in charge actually won legitimately. It’s easy to see it is completely organic. Then he starts with the blame game on outside forces and using the police to attack the people. It’s textbook socialist Marxist crap.

She mentions a song in it, the new feminist anthem "Labour," by Paris Paloma.

1.) It’s horrible and whiny and very boring, like every woman song of the last 2-3 decades, short of Ke$ha or Nicki Minaj

2.) It’s all about the terrible unfairness of motherhood, by a childless urbanite art school pig

3.) It’s from an album called "Cacophony," which by my limited understanding of Greek, means "shitty noise," which is fitting

Emptiness that they are constantly trying to fill by going through the motions of life.

There was a good bit by Tom Shippey in the Lord of the Rings extended edition bonus materiel where he was talking about Tolkien's view of evil. He pointed out that Tolkien, by experience likely, had seen evil as empty. There's a quote 'The history of evil in the 20th century is remarkably impersonal. It is like no one really wants to do it, but they have their job to do. THAT is a wraith. That is someone who has been through the wraithing process.'

-her husband got up on the stand and defended her and blamed the medication. There is something fundamentaly WRONG there and performative. SHE KILLED HIS KIDS. HIS SONS. His wetware should be crying out for vengeance. It does not make sense to me and makes me wonder how many meds HES on.

Then the National Guard, State Police and it seemed like every cop in the northeast descended on the place. They told us we had 10 minutes to get to our cars and get out of the airport or we would be detained.

A morning I will never forget.

398 According to the details that have emerged, CENIF analysed photographs, videos, and the operational behavior of Moroccan forces. Its officers identified gendarmes guiding groups from Castillejos towards specific border points and individuals believed to be plainclothes members of the Moroccan security services giving instructions on how to reach the El Tarajal breakwater.

The police’s conclusion therefore goes considerably further than Moroccan passivity. It describes coordination on the ground and an operation intended to overwhelm Spain’s border-control capacity within the framework of hybrid operations that are taking place not only on Europe’s eastern flank, but also along its immediate southern border. The report even examines the sequence of the crossings and the rapid subsequent return of many of those involved as factors incompatible with a conventional migration crisis.

The Horde remains strong and we support each other. I pray this passes soon.

Yours always,

478 May 2026:

The federal health department will begin a series of steps intended to curb antidepressant use in the US, Robert F Kennedy Jr announced this week.

Antidepressants, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, have long been a target for Kennedy, the Trump administration’s health secretary, who talked about the plans at an event on Monday . . .

In a press release about the plans, the Department of Health and Human Services said its intent was to “curb psychiatric overprescribing” and promote “deprescribing when clinically indicated”.

During the event, Kennedy said he recognized the role of psychiatric medications, but that his department “will no longer treat them as the default, we will treat them as one option, to be used when appropriate, with full transparency and with a clear path off when they are no longer needed”, according to the New York Times’ reporting on the summit, which focused on “overmedicalization” of mental health.

525 'Morning, all. Thanks, J.J. Stay safe. 🙏

The Dems have certainly hitched their wagons to El-Sayed. His leadership is valued. Huh?

Did you know that following his 2018 gubernatorial run, he "integrated into mainstream party infrastructure, serving on the "Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force" to shape national healthcare policy?" Oh, yes, he did!

Following the 2020 Democratic presidential primary (in which Bloomberg saved Biden), Joe & Bernie decided to bridge a massive ideological divide & unite the party before the general election with six joint "Unity Task Forces." (Must reads.)

Sander appointed El-Sayed as one of 8 members of the healthcare task force, which also included Rep Jayapal, (former) Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, and Sens. Tammy Baldwin. The Biden side's explanation was by El-Sayed actively chose to work within the traditional party framework, negotiating with Biden's team to help write a 110-page policy recommendation report.

3 of 10 healthcare recommendations were fully or partially adopted into law:

>Eliminating Subsidy Caps (Adopted): Passed via the American Rescue Plan and extended through the Inflation..

Continued -

Posted by: L - No nic... at September 03, 2026 10:12 AM (NFX2v)

526 Reduction Act.

>Testing and Distribution Infrastructure (Adopted): Fully funded during the height of the pandemic, ensuring nationwide free COVID-19 testing, contact tracing infrastructure, and federally guaranteed free vaccines.

>COBRA Premium Subsidies (Adopted/Temporary): The American Rescue Plan temporarily provided a 100% federal subsidy for COBRA premiums to help workers who lost their jobs during the pandemic retain their employer-sponsored health insurance.

In late 2022, El-Sayed was appointed Dir. of Wayne County Dept. of Health, Human & Veterans Services. Public health of 1.8 million residents in MI.

His accomplishments were leveraging county resources to engineer a program that erased up to $700 million in medical debt for roughly 300,000 residents.

Building a comprehensive, countywide air qualify monitoring network in the name of Environmental Justice, and "tackling the addiction epidemic" by deploying 100 Narcan vending machines countywide to prevent overdose deaths.

And then he left abruptly for the Senate race.

Dems just can't get over him as a "former Rhodes Scholar, epidemiologist, and previous director of the Detroit Health Department."

Cont'd

Posted by: L - No nic... at September 03, 2026 10:12 AM (NFX2v)

527 El-Sayed holds a medical degree (MD) from Columbia University & a doctorate in public health from Oxford.

According to Fox News Digital, critics note that “he never held a medical license, never did his residency, never passed his boards, and never practiced medicine independently.” It's true. El-Sayed graduated from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons with a Doctor of Medicine (MD). Because he has an MD, he can legally use the academic title "Doctor." He then chose an academic & administrative path & earned a PhD in public health. He went on to work as a public health professor at Columbia, and later directed the Detroit Health Department, so he was an Epidemiologist.

However, under MI (and other states') state laws, the specific title "physician" is legally restricted to individuals who hold an active state license to practice medicine. Because El-Sayed's actual patient care was limited to a four-week clinical rotation back when he was a medical student, his usage of that title is politically misleading.

He knows, they know. Abdul El-Sayed's wife, Dr. Sarah Jukaku, is an actual practicing physician and board-certified psychiatrist in MI.

529 He's a deceptive individual.

Abdul El-Sayed's strategic invocation of "right to try" during his Fox News interview with Jesse Watters served a dual political purpose: reframing the debate using a conservative-friendly concept and deflecting an otherwise difficult culture-war question.

When Watters pressed him on whether he supported gender-affirming surgeries for minors, El-Sayed deliberately chose not to answer with standard progressive talking points. By citing "right to try," El-Sayed targeted a core conservative & libertarian value: anti-statism (the belief that federal bureaucracy and the government should stay out of personal health choices). His goal was to flip the script on Fox News viewers by framing medical decisions not as a culture-war issue, but as a matter of personal freedom and parental rights against government overreach.

He was intentionally misleading. Federal Right to Try legislation is specifically restricted to terminally ill adults & children seeking unapproved, experimental medications.

It was signed into law by President Trump in May 2018, with a 9-year-old boy, Jordan McLinn (who had Duchenne muscular dystrophy), standing nearby.

Posted by: Lady in Black

I agree. I read, researched & made it personal for a time as I thought back to my own bout with a bit of depression when kid #1 was about 7 months old, and also when one of my dearest, most competent friends from way back suddenly snapped after the death of her mom & birth of her 1st (and only) child. (She was committed for a solid year & then slowly worked into seeing & caring for the child over time & under careful watch & guidance. She & her husband remained together and raised the child very well.)

I think Clancy was unstable at least by the birth of her second child, 1st son. I don't think there was really much of a 'marriage,' she needed both time in her nursing job and time with more than one child to fill a hole - lack of real companionship, friendship, purpose.

I also believe her guilty, dangerous & must be locked away for her remaining lifetime.

What cemented it for me is one fact: She killed the kids in the basement, her husband's domain. (The oldest boy was found in the office.) Revenge.

Daily Tech News 3 September 2026

Top Story

  • A group called Nexus is advertising 153 million US drivers licenses for sale on Russian exploit site Exploit. (Krebs On Security)

    They advertised this with a photo of the drivers license of a certain... Brian Krebs.

    Uh.

    And he followed up by asking 10 friends to see if their redacted data was in the list. Nine times out of ten, it was.

    How did this happen? We may never know. Oh.
    Here's where it gets interesting: I was able to find my mother's drivers license in this service as well, and the timestamps for her images are just a few seconds apart from mine. That's notable because we both handed our licenses to the Hertz rental car representative at the same time.
    Oops.

    So Hertz got hacked?

    Nothing so pleasant.
    Edwards told KrebsOnSecurity that although he did not rent a car in Vegas, he did hand over his license at the TSA checkpoint, at a marijuana dispensary in Vegas, and at his hotel (the Aria). But he said the only one of those three that for sure scanned his ID in some kind of device was the dispensary.
    Not Hertz it would appear, but, the company that Hertz uses to verify IDs.
    Contacted by KrebsOnSecurity, idscan.net said it was investigating the matter, but the company has not yet shared an official statement or a substantive reply to specific questions sent via email.
    The birdbath is on fire.

21 Evening and morning for the first Thor's Day in Sept. this year. I'm up a little ahead of the alarm, but feel pretty rested anyway.

Today I have to run out to the western suburbs, have the Buick's blood swapped out, give it some more food, and drop some of Linda's old clothes at the thrift store nearby. Maybe I'll hit Walmart too; it's right there, and I need to buy a refill phone card.

The big Buick is at 100,300 miles now, age ten, seven of those years under my watch. Aside from a faint fading of the paint on roof, hood, and trunk -- some of which can be countered by careful waxing -- it looks almost new and runs like an muscular limousine. Whenever I have occasion to run on a highway or smooth roads, I look forward to traveling in the LaCrosse.

Just ask a woman what she thinks about the Lindsey Clancy case, and the child murder apologists won't even try to hide it, because they're convinced that they're the morally superior and righteous ones.

It is a great long-distance car. Not only smooth and comfortable, and fast, it gets remarkable mileage for a big car with a V-6. My '86 Mercedes 420SEL, the big V-8 S-Class, was much the same, except in the mileage department: 22-24 on the open highway, and that on premium. The LaCrosse has done 34 on ethanol-free gas at 70 w/ the A/C on -- and that was regular 87 octane.

Wouldnt t it depend on the woman? I think she's a murderess and should be held fully accountable-either by going to jail or being held in a mental I institution .for the rest of her life I imagine most women on AOS feel the same, I think the internet exaggerates things to put people against each other , and because a group of women in pink shirts either on the jury or the ones doing "performance art " on the internet are shrieking in support of her it doesn't mean millions of women in the U.S. are.

I think I need another break from the internet today and bad news and the "All women support The child murderess." No, we don't

51 The ones going out of their way to make the bestest car-seat confessional about their love of some crazy bitch who killed her children are the ones who have truly learned to love Big Brother. The content of what they're saying doesn't matter, because they know what Big Brother needs them to say and gosh darn it they're going to say it louder and prouder than anyone else because they know what today's Goodthink is.

Eastasia has always been at war with Oceania. There are five lights. Et cetera et cetera.

It doesn't matter if it's the old cliche about killing your parents and then demanding the sympathy due to an orphan, in reverse and one step removed. Big Brother has declared that up is down, left is right, good is evil, and so on. After enough years of that kind of training, you spontaneously start applying that Opposite World filter to every piece of social information you consume, automatically.

New build data centers are astonishingly quiet. There are reams and reams of data and modeling and validation on their AHUs and exhaust fans to make sure they are as quiet as physically possible now. The typical shopping mall is louder. Any urban downtown area is many decibels louder.

New build data centers are astonishingly quiet. There are reams and reams of data and modeling and validation on their AHUs and exhaust fans to make sure they are as quiet as physically possible now. The typical shopping mall is louder. Any urban downtown area is many decibels louder.

If they want to abolish new data centers for being "loud", then what's their argument for not razing every major metropolitan area?
Posted by: Warai-otoko at September 03, 2026 06:53 AM (Ot/FD)

-----

Perhaps the new build data centers will turn out to be astonishingly quiet. Many of the current ones are not. The one pictured in the Loudon county oosr is next to a quiet, residential area. Loudoun county is anything but a noisy urban, downtown area. I lived in the next county over for years

95 What is disturbing about the ID breach is that actual images were stored, not biometric templates that are used for searching. That "redacted" data was also not encrypted, even worse, the company kept it as if that data are theirs rather than storing a hash and using that hash for comparisons.

If I was a psychologist/counselor after viewing Wolfus' posts over the years about hating the weather in his area, doing nothing about it, soliciting advice and then not following it for Reasons, that checks all of the boxes for a help-rejecting complainer

Most people instinctively respond by offering solutions, but I'm thinking that is not what Wolfus actually wants. The proper response here is to set boundaries and ask questions instead of suggestions and accept that the complaints are not about solutions.

101 24 I'm watching the Shoe0nHead video linked in the sidebar -- well, she's in my follows, and I had it bookmarked to watch later anyway -- and I have to say, there is one very dark and dismal silver lining. All the guys out there who are still braving the crazy (and crazy-making) dating market finally have the perfect test to expose superficially normal-seeming nutbars.

Just ask a woman what she thinks about the Lindsey Clancy case, and the child murder apologists won't even try to hide it, because they're convinced that they're the morally superior and righteous ones. It's wild, but useful, and potentially thousands of men could dodge a bullet (probably metaphorical, but who knows).

Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and (mostly) re-stocked. Step up and place your order.

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.

I am favorably inclined to the Deere but when I think of John Deere, it also conjures thoughts of "outdoor scents" that seem sub-optimal for my personal care needs.

I am curious about the "limited edition" packaging. Are potential buyers considering a purchase of John Deere deodorant at Walmart because it is a collectible? It must trigger an unconscious need-to-buy instinct. In related news, there are probably many reasons that I don't work in marketing...

Does anyone have an inside source at Walmart to find out how many of these are actually being sold?

Niche YouTube Channel of the Week

Tonight's feature is a YouTube channel called Hydraulic Press Channel. The premise is simple - what do things look like when they're smashed in a hydraulic press?

That's it. No narration, explanation, or elaborate plots. Just smashing things.

You could be thinking one of two things. Either (a) a single YouTube channel dedicated to smashing things? really? or (b) Awesome!

Apparently lots of people think it is awesome - the channel has over 10.3 million subscribers. Many videos have millions of views. It all started ten years ago with a minute and a half video of smashing a golf ball.

The question is not what has been smashed on the channel. The better question is what has yet to be smashed. If you can think of it and it fits beneath a hydraulic press, it has probably been smashed.

I went into the dealership part and they told me I had to drive all the way around the back of the building. "Its to keep the cars safer" they said.

What the heck? They have hundreds of new cars on the lot and they use one to block off the area were the cars they are working on are located?

112 Much better today after my husband's surprise MRI that he was falling apart (gluteus minimus detached from bone and other stuff).

Not much pain & he's had a few tears fixed in the past with a stem cell injection. No limp, either, thankfully. He may or may not need endoscopic surgery. The result of long distance running for 40yrs.

He found on AI that being a geezer (his words) they may not bother since other muscles are compensating. A rare advantage of being old (altho neither of us look it or act it). It gave me hope.

Spent all morning on the phone getting the MRI sent to the university and top doc's team. Who, I found out, does not operate often on people over 50yrs. However they will find someone. Meanwhile I found two others if we need another opinion. Then I quit and focused on nothing.

Things are looking up.

We may need your prayers in the future, please, as he's only had one tiny surgery in his life (cut thumb tendon, the guitar picking thumb that is fine, one Easter dinner).

So we wait. I'm waiting. Probably won't know squat til next week. Got the MRI faxed & referral letter faxed to "the team."

Nah. I ain't no nag.

I might break the ice and interject that it was too much sex with the university crew to flip my husband right out. heh.

He ran too far for too long. Was known as an "elite" runner in his prime. 4min miles, which girls are breaking now in HS. To run that fast for many miles is now taking its toll.

I hate running. He hates swimming. Guess what he might have to do in rehab either way? I told him to swim when we had a pool in FL, "but he didn't like it."

Well, here we are now with me limber and him falling apart.

147 Half a century ago, when MiladyJo and I had been "together" for just a few months, we went to her home town, Chicago, to (gulp) meet her family and celebrate Christmas and New Year's.

She wanted us to go to the New Year's Eve show at the Earl of Old Town, so one day when we were out buying Christmas gifts, we stopped by the bar to buy tickets. There was nobody in the bar but the bartender and some guy up on stage, a short young fellow, dressed in raggedy blue jeans and a big smile, strumming on a beat-up old guitar.

As we stood there, he burst out with a familiar train song. We listened a while, then headed out to shop more.

I turned to her and exclaimed, that was a great version of that song! She replied, it ought to be, that was the guy who wrote it. I said, you mean we just walked out of a private performance with the guy we just bought tickets to see on New Year's?!? Yup. We should have just gone back in.

But we caught his show that New Year's, and the second set, and many New Year's shows subsequently. Great songwriter, energetic performer, and a great guy. Gone 'way too soon.

We didn't abandon them, we tied their hands behind their backs. As soon as the war ended, the Nationalists were really to wipe out the Commies, but was said "no, wait, be nice, form a unity government" and they had to comply.

163 Report on the Dominion Con in Hamilton Ontario by John Carter's Substack.
"The Dominion Society was founded barely over a year ago, and rapidly exploded to over three thousand members across the country. It is a peaceful and explicitly non-partisan political advocacy group dedicated to advancing the cause of remigration within Canadian civil society. "

https://tinyurl.com/49bz9v63

One of the pull quotes:

"Back in Hamilton, Andrea Horwath hosted a little Hope Not Hate demo at City Hall, attended by a small clutch of geriatrics high on the ghost of John Lennon and the paramoral rush of dispossessing their children for cheap labour and expensive real estate. The contrast between the small gatherings of elderly leaflibs and spiteful mutants on the one hand, and the predominantly young, male, clean-cut DomCon attendees on the other, was, well, exactly what you’d expect really."

As you likely know, Barbara Tuchman wrote a best selling book entitled, "Stilwell and the American Experience in China."

Gen. [Richard] Stilwell's kept a diary. Here is the Cliff Notes version:

1) Gen. Stilwell, head of the U.S. military mission to China, had TOTAL contempt for Chiang Kai-shek. Stilwell always refers to Chiang as "Peanut."

2) Stilwell believed that the Nationalist govt was so corrupt and un-reformable that every American dollar spent trying to help Peanut was wasted. EVERY damn dollar. He cites numerous examples of U.S. attempts to help Chiang, all of which came to nothing, because Chiang's "commanders" didn't make any real effort to fight Mao. They just wanted loot, and the Nationalist conscripts were totally demoralized as a result. Stilwell couldn't do a thing about that, despite herculean efforts to turn the unfolding disaster around.

3) Chiang's power base, to the extent he ever had one, was located in the larger cities, all of which had been occupied first by the Japanese, & then by the Communists.

So, who lost China? Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. The Nationalist "commanders" even stole utensils from military hospitals.

The lid is on a riser that sticks up out of the ground about half a foot. Most of the hole I dug was "adjacent to" not "over" the tank itself.

I really don't know if this repair I did will work until I let the inlet side of the tank rise above the half-full level. If it works, then Yaay! If not, I am no worse off than before; just keep the inlet side below half-way, and deal with it.

221 Look up the etymology of "can" as in container. The word sort of came from a container, and then got associated with cylindrical metal such containers.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 02, 2026 11:35 PM (w6EFb)


The original British patent used metal cans where the lids were crimped and soldered on. There were a number of preservation methods used prior to that, one of them was called (later) french preserving where cooked meats were put in ceramic jugs and covered with fats to exclude air and bacteria and then closed with oiled paper. In the canning process where the contents and the container are sealed and then heated to sterilize, jars were not used until later, when a process to make the mouths of the jars regular and easily sealable was developed, and rubber sealing rings were made for sealing.

In the 1920's, I believe grandma still used a woodstove for her cooking and canning. I know in the south, women used woodstoves outdoors because they didn't want to heat up the whole house. Some of grandma's recipes still state "cook over low fire" or "stoke fire to medium heat." I have no idea how she knew how to do that. I would be at sea.

One might note that this was "producer gas", made by reacting burning coal with steam. Made up of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and some hydrocarbon gases, IIRC. There was a lot of CO.

My two best shots were a 35~40 yard chip in for birdie on a slightly rolling and sloped green after I topped my first shot, and a tee shot that was rolling straight for the cup but stopped just 12" from the cup thanks to an aerated green.

243 Since it's an ONT, and VJ Day, semi-obligatory trivia.

Yoko Ono's uncle, Kase Toshikazu, was the young diplomat on the USS Missouri assisting the Japanese foreign minister. The younger guy, top hat, holding a briefcase, no glasses.

He created what some consider the most Japanese moment ever. He noted that the Canadian and French representatives had signed erroneously, on each other's lines, on the Instrument of Surrender (the Canadian made the mistake, forcing the French rep to sign on the line for Canada).

He brought this up with Gen. Sutherland, who finally, in frustration, used his own pen to cross out the country names under the respective signatures and write in Canada and France where needed.

Delegation member from the party submitting to unconditional surrender after having its country burnt to the ground insists on every detail of the surrender document being perfect. Incredibly Japanese.

Possibly, but the main problem with canning is botulism, which is an anaerobic soil microbe, and has to be heated to about 240F for a period to destroy. All the Argon will do is displace the O2, which is perfect for the botulism to grow.

now, what I am interested in is "pascalization" which puts the food under extreme pressure for a short while and then released, which kills all the spoiling and toxic microorganisms, without heat modifying the food. 50.000 psi comes to mind but I would have to look it up. The drawbacks are that the enzymes may not be destroyed and can continue to digest and change the food being preserved, and the current equipment will fit nicely into a semi trailer.

Sufficient pressure to break down the cells of microorganisms might also break down the cellular structure of the food, making it into syrup. Unless perhaps the pressure simply reverses osmotic pressure on the cell walls of the "bugs" causing them to die, while having no effect on the already dead cells of the food material?

What about using gunpowder to drive a ram into a cylinder of the food to be preserved?

Heat canning also breaks down the cell structure, and the extended cooking changes the textures and flavors, which is an issue with things like guacamole or oysters. Generally not a problem if you avoid the things that cause problems like that

I would be more into using a hydraulic ram to compress a water bath to transmit pressure to the food in plastic bags
The Finns at the Hydraulic Press Channel could give me tips, I guess.

285 Kindltot-- Mom used mayo jars sometimes, but didn't use the original lids except for capping in the fridge, after the paraffin was removed. Mayo jar threads used to match that of canning bands, but that changed sometime in the 70s or 80s (?) in order to prevent their re-use as canning jars.

Any other jar was also fair game, for Mom's jam/jelly. Again she only saved the lids for *after* the paraffin seal was broken.

I've been given boxes of "canning jars"-- only to find that half (or more) were merely plain glass empties of whatever. I will not use those, and I don't seal with paraffin. Lids, bands, and water bath processing only.

287 I played guitar for just shy of 50 years, until a late-blooming variety of muscular dystrophy wiped out my hands (it also took my carpentry career). I played bluegrass, all sorts of acoustic stuff, as well as country, blues, and rock and roll on electric. I figure I was about an eight-handicap guitarist; I wouldn't embarass myself or my host when I was waved up on stage by various friends in bands at bars, but I wasn't going to make it on the tour. The pyramid gets really narrow at the top - and sitting up there, grinning and playing stuff I can barely comprehend, is Billy Strings.

I've probably seen a couple hundred concerts since 1971, including the Grateful Dead at the Boston Garden on 5/7/77, the Newgrass Revival at the Ark in '87, John Jorgenson, Dave Alvin, Desert Rose Band... but the Billy Strings & Co show in Fishers IN (Indy) on 8/8/26 was easily in the top five shows ever. I was speechless when we left (a very rare occurrence). Billy is a phenomenal guitarist, absolutely, as well as composer, arranger, and band leader. He's also a dad, sober 10 years and pot-free over a year; he discusses this and a lot more in an hour-long interview on youtube. He's a mensch...

292 I picked, processed, and dried so many carrots this week. I love my new dehydrator. I would have canned them, but I'm living in the camper and I just can't see using the pressure canner on this little stove, and the noise would probably make me even more crazy than I already am.

The kitchen gets put in this month, and then I can make all the various soups I usually put up in fall. I have dried peppers as well, and I start on potatoes next week.

Beef barley soup, chicken tortilla soup, chicken rice soup, ham bean soup, all kinds of lovely things to eat all year. I usually put up about 80 pint jars of soups and we routinely eat all of them in one year between the two of us. Whip up some biscuits and it's dinner.

299 JQ, I use old mayo jars and anything with a mason-type lid for water bath canning, especially fruit like plums and applesauce that I always have lots of free fruit from the yard. It only has to seal, and if it breaks, then I got the jar for free too.

300 Dallas, received a notice that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a directive ending funding for Flock camera use.

Dallas police pout:
"These cameras remain an important investigative tool and are used daily by detectives and officers to develop leads, identify vehicles associated with criminal activity, and assist in solving crimes," the Dallas Police Department said on X.

Dallas Police officials said that 321 Flock cameras supported by grant funding will no longer be eligible, meaning they will be canceled effective Sept. 15.

After the move, the department "will continue to have more than 300 Flock cameras operating throughout Dallas," according to its X post.

301 Us Catholics ask: Where in the Bible does it say the only source for salvation of your soul is the Bible? Even the Bible tells you it is not the only source. So, if you claim to be Bible based, you need to own all if it, particularly the part where Christ tells you, "This IS my BODY and this IS my BLOOD."

I have found several ways to make life easier by doing a big canning job once, and then living off it for weeks or months. Considering how short but productive our growing season is up here, it makes more sense than ever to do so, but I suspect in the Lower 48 it would be just as well.

So much better than convenience foods you buy. I know where it came from, I know it's healthy and tasty, and I can control exactly what I have and what I use it for.

Matthew 7:1-5.

Checkmate.

It seems to me that a Christian is someone who believes that a) all humans are sinners, b) the wages of sin is death, c) God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem humans from their sin d) If you repent (genuinely repent) of your sins and ask God for forgiveness in the name of Jesus, it will be granted to you.


At least, I'm comfortable with calling anyone who believes a) through d) a Christian. All the rest of the trappings are about as important as whether your family opens presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

And if you think you need to kill someone because they open their gifts on Christmas Day, or pray in Croatian, or wear their work boots to church (because that's all they have) you have definitely lost the plot.

But what do I know? As stated in a), all humans are sinners, of whom I am the worst.

If you want shredded potatoes for something, and don't want to spend the time to make them, you can thaw tater tots in the microwave and break them up.

354 Anyone watch those youtube videos where they pit, like, an M1A2 Abrams vs. German Omaha beach defenses or a modern attack sub against the Japanese fleet on Infamy Day? They're interesting but always let you know what running out of modern ammo and/or fuel would put a stop to your divine dominance. But what would you do with a modern attack sub just after the Japanese planes launched from their carriers? Sub can't stop the planes and say you have 50 fish. What do you do with them? Then what do you do when you run out? Also, assuming you have a full load of food and other supplies (nuke fuel is no problem because that's several decades worth), you have a few months before you need to re-food and forget torpedos unless you could adapt the WW2 varieties.

355 My favorite grocery store used to have this excellent little section of 'hispanic' foods/spices. Heh, it's gone-- just a short shelf space left, with no more bags of dried chilies, corn-husk tamale wrappers-- only a few spices now. The end-cap full of tortilla products is also gradually shrinking in variety. Noticed also, that the asian products are shrinking away, little by little.

I'll miss some of the specialty stuff, sometimes, but otherwise?

I voted for this!

Speaking of storms on other planets, while not really a "storm" in the sense, one of the most intriguing "weather patterns" is Saturn's north pole hexagon:

https://t.ly/DlwIL

Each side of that hexagon is about 1000 miles wider than the earth's diameter.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2026 02:35 AM (w6EFb)

368 Weather forecast said rain today (Wednesday), and temp ~70F. *BZZT!* Wrong...

Sunny, 80*, and a light breeze.

Sprinkled a bit, couple hours ago. Just enough to wet the dust.

Waiting! Waiting for a cooler day and some free water!

Thursday says: 100% chance of rain & low-70s temp. Okay, but I've got sprinklers ready to go because yard is parched.

369 367 one of the most intriguing "weather patterns" is Saturn's north pole hexagon

I've seen that before, and it is so weird!

We were at Devil's Postpile last week. The sign said the hexagons come from cracks forming at 120 degrees in various places, then meeting to make hexagons. I'm not 100% convinced. Why are all the pillars nearly the same size?

Posted by: frammish at September 03, 2026 02:41 AM (rcENI)

The South pole didn't have any such geometric pattern while Cassini was there. However, recent Hubble images now show a decagon has developed there:

https://t.ly/zzlYU

They think that first started to develop in 2023 or so. The hexagon seems to be be more permanent.

Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 03, 2026 02:44 AM (w6EFb)

371
Nature can produce surprisingly coherent geometric shapes as well as the usual fractal looking patterns. Telling the difference between natural and man-made (or .... not saying who, but you know who) is tricky sometimes.

In figuring out that hexagon, then were able to get patterns with water and differential rotation (one of those articles may mention that). So, we do see these polygons emerging out of spinning fluids naturally. Surprising.

375 So, if you have a few prayers in you this evening, Sabrina's funeral is Saturday, even though there's no body left. From 14:00 to 17:00. Just mostly folks sharing stories and generally honoring her.

I am stuck in the stage where I just want her back. Not sure that's one of the stages of grief, but it sort of sucks.

My good friend who chartered the plane and chose who went? He's struggling mightily as well, so a prayer or two for him, please. We are monitoring him closely, just in case. But he is a vet from the Afghanistan campaigns, so he is acquainted with misery and death. I'm not sure it gets easier but maybe he has a framework to put it all in.

Eternal rest grant unto her, Oh Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon her.

Wasn't this attack in Lake Tahoe? If so, then wouldn't that be a lake otter, not a river otter? And aren't lake otters more closely related to sea otters than river otters?

Women in Iran and across Muslim communities get beaten and murdered for refusing the hijab. I was kicked out of school, multiple times, for "improper hijab." That was my life.

So am I an Islamophobe for saying "fuck you" when you cosplay as a champion of women’s rights while wrapping yourself in the same symbol that was used to police, punish, and erase me and millions of women around the world just to court Muslim votes?
No. I’m not.

Hundreds of Thousands of Spanish Citizens Pour Into the Streets to Protest the Socialist Quisling Pedro Sanchez and Show Support for the Besieged Town of Ceuta;
Sanchez Sics the Riot Police On Them

Europa.com
@europa

3h

🇪🇸 A crowd of thousands has taken to the streets in Madrid to display the widespread anger over the Ceuta crisis caused by migrants from Morocco and the handling of the situation by Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez.

And in other cities and towns, too, like Valencia and Zaragoza.

SkyNews:

Nationwide migrant protests prompt appeals for calm in Ceuta, Spain's North African territory

Demonstrations are due to be held across Spain on Wednesday evening "in solidarity" with Ceuta, the Spanish city in North Africa, which faced an influx of about 72,000 migrants from Morocco in late July.


...

Nearly five weeks ago, around 72,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta from Morocco, with scores dying in the process. While most have since returned home, around 10,000 remain stranded in makeshift camps or on the streets.

"Stranded." Definition: When you illegally cross into a foreign country and refuse to leave.

"Stranded" in context: Illegal aliens rushed past Ceuta's fences and squatted in the city. They refused to leave. They were stranded by the Ceuta authorities who did not provide them with permission to remain.

Another example: I tried to hold up a Wa-Wa by gunpoint. When I tried to enter the store with my gun drawn, they dropped the security gates, stranding me outside. But I wanted them to give me money and cartons of cigarettes. I was stranded by evil-doers!

Their presence has triggered near-daily protests by locals against the Spanish government's handling of the issue, with demonstrators calling for the migrants to be sent back to their countries of origin or redistributed across Spain.

"The government has failed to act in a critical situation. It's spiralling out of control. We're tired, just like those who came are getting tired, and tensions are rising. There's a point where this will become a powder keg," said a resident called Lola.

Let's hope.

54 The muzzie states are like thieves doing a bank job -- they are all buddy buddy before hand, but once the money is in hand, they start bickering and shooting each other.

I think they are starting to think they own Europe. So the Moroccans want Spain, and want a foothold. The Turks want Germany, the Algerians France, etc. But all those countries have other factions that now have to worry about fighting each other.

The same is going on in Canada (and maybe a bit in USA) where the Indians, Chinese, and muzzies all want primary claim on the territory.

We tend to lag Europe in terms of the long march by about 10-20 years. Also we still have guns here so direct action is a bit more consequential and thus give those who would be party to such on either side more pause.

Maybe that will work with Trump, but the left has figured out how effective "Direct Action" is, and they have the crazies in number on their side.

Yes a local election. But they could take their first toe hold in just a couple weeks. And they have to do it all through outright majority as no other party will form a coalition with them.

Being momentarily unpopular, even assuming that's true, isn't anywhere near ending the threat, much less "systematically" destroying it.

My last visit was disappointing. I grew up working in orchards as a kid, so, of course, I had to check out the area around Valencia to see the orange groves. Well, they look pathetic and poorly cared for. Also, the number of groves has taken a nose dive due to over regulation on water, fertilizer and insecticides. Growers are focusing on persimmons and kiwi instead of the famous Navelinas of Valencia. It was rather depressing.

(Side note: Valencia Oranges have nothing to do with Valencia. They are hybrid created by a Californian. Spain mostly grows Navelinas...or they used to anyway)

Surprise! Communist Theater-Kid Jihadi Zohran Mamdani Has an Army of 200 Left-Wing Influencers Paid by Taxpayers Who Praise Him to Their Followers

Here's the scam: He has these 200 influencers. City taxpayers pay them, it is claimed, to post about non-partisan things, like "Oh Central Park is lovely in the late summer, you should go."

And then, supposedly "on the side," they post loving tributes to the gay jihadi.

See, the payments only cover the promotion of Broadway and Central Park. The constant propaganda for Zohran Mamdani they do for free, as a side-gig.


Sure.

Can I be paid to post nice things about New York City? I'd keep doing my anti-Mamdani posts, but for free, as my side-gig. I like Central Park. I can promote the ice rink.

Something tells me my application would not be seriously considered.



Mayor Zohran Mamdani assembled an army of nearly 200 "influencers," giving the social media stars VIP access to push the lefty administration's talking points, a new bombshell report revealed.

The web of online personalities are being fed talking points by City Hall through an encrypted Signal group text, potentially running afoul of local record-keeping laws, according to the study by the Columbia Journalism Review.

Some influencers are even pocketing taxpayer funds "for work on particular messaging campaigns," though not for their coverage, the report states.

The official Mamdani cheerleaders chat spawned from Creators4Zohran, a motley crew of influencers convened during his social media-savvy mayoral campaign last year, according to the report.

"A group of content creators and influencers, the Creators4Zohran group that supported his election campaign was reconfigured to promote coverage and talking points from the Mayor's office," the report reads.

"The group is run by the Director of New Media and Cultural Communications at the NYC Office of the Mayor, Emilia Rowland, and her staff, and members of the group receive daily updates, talking points and clips that they can use in their posts."

How much influencers were paid, or if at all, was unclear.

Political insiders who have worked with their ilk have told The Post that influencers don't work for free if involved in specific campaigns, like pushes for vaccinations or public service announcements.

Influencers would eventually look for some sort of compensation for carrying the mayor's water, insiders said.

One influencer highlighted by Creators4Zohran, Allie O'Brien, recently said Mamdani was the "mayor of uncontrollable joy" in a worshipping social post.

O'Brien, though, appears to live in Connecticut from online records.

Another out-of-NYC influencer, who goes by the handle bananadotgov on Instagram, is from Columbus, Ohio, and has posted a number of lionizing videos about Mamdani.

"Strange things are happening, because I have literally not felt this way about a politician since Bernie Sanders," she said, responding to the mayor saying he wouldn't take a pay raise in July.

...

City Hall officials are required by law to keep records, including messages, related to government business to give the public and watchdogs a necessary window into how decisions are made.

When asked about concerns the encrypted Signal chat violates the city's record retention laws, Mamdani first deflected by arguing that tapping influencers is no different than engaging with radio, TV and other media to spread information.


...

City Hall officials directed The Post toward Mamdani's comments and refused to answer specific questions.

Grok says they're being paid between $5,000 and $20,000 per contract, which may not sound like a lot, but remember, they're being paid for just shitting out posts on TikTok and Twitter.

And also, a contract might just cover a couple of months of "work." That's not their yearly compensation.


Grok
@grok


Yes, per a Columbia Journalism Review report, Emilia Rowland (a paid NYC Mayor's Office director) runs a Signal group of over 200 influencers who get daily City Hall talking points and clips. The group grew from his campaign's Creators4Zohran network. Group participation is unpaid, but some influencers separately get $5k--$20k in taxpayer funds via city contracts for specific messaging campaigns.

Yeah, but the ads are on all stations - non government too. Radio too. Little propaganda things. It's pretty creepy.

And how much of this went on during Covid? There were people paid left and right declaring the miracle of the jab.

This is pretty funny because Mamdani is supposed to be incredibly thin-skinned so this isn't surprising. Obama could ignore bad press because in his mind....black Jesus and detractors were too stupid to see his greatness.

I honestly don't know what feminism is supposed to mean anymore., although it seems like it's now become a term to mean disliking men and thinking women are superior to menWhen I used to call myself a feminist, and when I was a voting Democrat I thought feminist meant that women are capable of fulfilling some of the same jobs men do and if they did those jobs effectively they should be paid what men are paid ( and yes, I am totally against DEI when it means hiring people who are unqualified for jobs based on gender and ethnicity ). As far as hating men, well I've been happily married to a man for over 30 years ( He's my best friend ) and I've also had wonderful male colleagues. And no, I do t want to debate this.

China will be well and truly screwed, because the US won't import them, so they will only be able to ship them to Europe. Maybe another datapoint that he wants EU membership.

This woman should be given the presidential medal of freedom from President Trump

A Florida woman was arrested after allegedly pretending to work at Costco in Tampa and turning the sample station into an impromptu “happy hour” for shoppers.

Authorities say 32-year-old Brianna Keller entered the store dressed in black pants, a red polo, and a take badge reading “Crystal - Beverage Team,” then spent nearly an hour handing out tequila shots in tiny ketchup cups beside the snack aisle. She reportedly paired liquors with frozen appetizers, told customers it was “technically a tasting event,” and even proposed “bottomless sample Fridays” to management.

Employees grew concerned as customers started applauding her chants like “Weekend mode activated!” and some were seen dancing near mattress displays with condiment cups.

The stunt ended when a manager noticed the scene, and Keller was arrested while shouting “WHO’S READY FOR ROUND TWO?” as officers escorted her out. One shopper joked, “I honestly thought Costco was just evolving.”

201 China is playing the long game with Canada...and Norway for that matter. What they are doing is innundating the economy and becoming a necessity. Eventually, they'll start up with the threats with ONE SINGLE GOAL in mind. They telegraphed that goal by declaring themselves a "Near Arctic State." Make no mistake, China want the resources in the Arctic, and as it now stands they have no claim. But, they've started to make themselves indespensible to Canada, and Norway to gain control of Northern resources.

I think the warning thing is overblown. They had some warning, but
- It is not clear anyone understood the "event" would lead to a flood
- It is doubtful anyone understood that the flood would be so much worse than what happened last year.
- And finally, what were they going to do? For the upstream stuff (the port, road, people) there was no where to run.

Now they should have had a system in place to warn the downstream Nepalese towns, but I am sure China would have avoided that as their policy is to avoid any mention of risk until it is too late, and then bury it.

192 House Democrats Vote "No" on Resolution to Condemn Socialism; Hakeem Jeffries Fumes at Democrats Who Voted With the Republicans

I missed this yesterday.

Two "moderate" Democrats joined the Republicans in getting the vote to the floor -- without those two Democrats, the resolution would have stalled in committee.

Hakeem Jeffries is spitting mad at these anti-socialist Democrats, calling them traitors.

The House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning socialism on Tuesday evening, with all but eight House Democrats voting against it.

In a stunning twist of fate, however, the vote would not have occurred if two House Democrats hadn't stepped in hours earlier to help the GOP through a procedural hurdle -- blindsiding House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., in the process.

Jeffries later threatened consequences for the pair in a dramatic statement late on Tuesday night, calling their move a "breach of trust."

The resolution passed 220 to 192 with all "no" votes coming from the left, including Democrats' senior leaders: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, D-Calif.

The legislation also affirmed support for election integrity and called for passage of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which nearly all Democrats oppose.

House conservatives had threatened to tank a procedural vote, called a "rule vote," meant to unlock debate on several bills GOP leaders wanted lawmakers to vote on this week. That included the resolution condemning socialism and several other unrelated bills.

Five Republicans voted against the rule, which was poised to fail until Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., provided two critical votes to get the GOP over the finish line in a narrow 209 to 208 vote.

The five Republicans were protesting a past vote on the continuing resolution. I'm so tired of this look-at-me, quien-es-mas-macho-conservative bullshit.


Jeffries and other senior House Democratic leaders warned in a statement the day after, ""The decision by two of our colleagues to blindside the entire House Democratic Caucus and join with the Republican majority to pass a procedural rule on the brink of failing represents a significant breach of trust."


"It is an action that necessitates a serious response, and we have asked the Committee on Caucus Rules to take this up in short order," the leaders said.

All Republicans wound up voting in favor of the resolution condemning socialism and affirming election integrity on Tuesday evening, however.


...

It's almost unheard of for the minority party to help their political rivals pass a rule, and Jeffries told reporters he was not notified beforehand.

The five House Republicans who voted against it were Reps. Pete Sessions, R-Texas; Chip Roy, R-Texas; Ralph Norman, R-S.C., Clay Higgins, R-La.; and Andy Harris, R-Md.


The rebels' issue was not with the measure itself, nor the bills it would have allowed the House to pass. Their votes were a protest against how their leaders handled a plan to avert a government shutdown just before the midterm elections, a short-term funding bill called a continuing resolution (CR). That measure passed just before the rule vote began.

Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Mohamad El-Sayed will join Islamists and conspiracy theorists to Just Ask Questions about 9/11, days before the 9/11 twenty-five year anniversary.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has questions, just as Tuq'r Qarlson wants to know who really blew up WTC 7.

Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is scheduled to speak at an Islamic convention this weekend--six days before the 25th anniversary of 9/11--on a panel alongside a "9/11 truther" and a Muslim cleric conspiracy theorist who has called for an "examination" of the official narrative surrounding the terrorist attacks.

El-Sayed is headlining the Islamic Society of North America's annual convention in Detroit on Saturday. There, El-Sayed will speak on a panel to examine a "turmoiled America" alongside left-wing pundit Cenk Uygur and Zaid Shakir, an outspoken New Jersey-based cleric, according to a convention itinerary.

Both men have promoted conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11, in which al Qaeda operatives killed 2,977 Americans.

"I no longer believe [sic] official 9/11 story," Uygur declared in a social media rant in February. Uygur, who hosts the Young Turks YouTube show, is now pushing debunked claims about Israeli involvement in the attacks, including the "dancing Israelis" myth, an antisemitic conspiracy theory that posits that five Israeli spies filmed and celebrated the terrorist attack. "I didn't know we arrested Israeli spies who were here to 'document the event,'" wrote Uygur, who is the uncle of Hasan Piker, a close El-Sayed ally who has said that "America deserved 9/11."

Uygur was widely mocked for, as one outlet described it, "going full 9/11 truther."

Shakir has similarly called for an "examination" of what he described as "glaring weaknesses and inconsistencies" in the official 9/11 narrative. He has argued that the U.S. government used the attacks to "launch a war on Islam," and he directed followers to the writings of David Ray Griffin, a leading 9/11 conspiracy theorist who has argued that the United States orchestrated the attacks.

El-Sayed's appearance alongside the conspiracy theorists comes as his own record of seeking to minimize the horror of 9/11, and to draw equivalence between 9/11 victims and casualties of the war on terror, is under scrutiny.

...

El-Sayed has also faced withering scrutiny over his close ties to Piker, a popular left-wing influencer who has campaigned with El-Sayed. El-Sayed has repeatedly refused to fully disavow Piker's remarks about 9/11, saying that they have been "taken out of context" and that Piker is a victim of "cancel culture."

And El-Sayed has sought to link "Islamophobia" after 9/11 to health problems for Muslims and Arabs.

In a Sept. 11, 2012, essay for CNN that called Muslims "another victim of 9/11," El-Sayed cited a study conducted in California that found a dramatic increase in premature births for Muslim women after 9/11 compared with before the attacks. El-Sayed attributed the spike to "discrimination and marginalization" that Muslim women experienced after the attacks.

El-Sayed omitted from his essay the findings of his own study comparing birth outcomes for Muslim women before and after 9/11, however. El-Sayed's study, conducted in Michigan, found no difference in premature births for Muslim women after 9/11 and found overall that Arab and Muslim women were at "significantly" lower risk for premature births compared to white, black, and Asian mothers, the Free Beacon reported.

Shakir, in addition to propagating 9/11 conspiracy theories, has blamed Israel for other terrorist attacks and called for Muslims to use "guerrilla warfare" to achieve their desired political outcomes.

In related news: The media is attacking Bari Weiss for rewriting a "journalists'" headline about Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed deleting old tweets in which he suggested a moral equivalency between 9/11 and US war against Al Qaeda.

Why would the headline news of the story not be in the headline? For only one reason: the "journalist" wants to bury the story under an anodyne headline that draws no attention.

Why the hell not? Top editors often get involved in headline writing. One reason they call them editors. (You don't want to know the editorial struggles over a 5 word cover line at Newsweek during the GHWB years.) 9-11 certainly seems a salient angle to the CBS piece.

"CBS' El-Sayed Scandal", on the other hand, is a BS hed. But they can put it on save-get and use it again.

He's knocking this "expose" for claiming the routine step of an editor rewriting the headline is a "scandal." Once again, lefties decide that subordinates should have the power to overrule their bosses, at least when the subordinate is further left than the boss. They constantly make this claim in the Trump Administration, claiming that all 50,000 of Trump's left-wing bureaucrats should have the right to set Trump Administration policy.

As for the "save-get" part -- I have no idea what that means.

Mickey Kaus
@kausmickey

If like NYT you have a smooth-running operation that reliably churns out subscriber-pleasing anti-GOP heds then maybe, like an Open Claw, it doesn't need much top-level supervision. Maybe CBS was like that, which could be why reporters seem to feel changing heds violates UN human rights protocols.

22 When he is questioned about the U.S-Canada trade agreement collapse, Secretary Lutnick quotes the Canadian govt officials. “I said to him, are you trying to blow this up? and he said, and I quote, “I’m not allowed to say that.“” Lutnick then encapsulates what that response meant.

“They decided for political reasons, domestically, domestic Canada, they’d rather fight with Donald Trump; even if it’s bad for the economy of Canada, for their political ambition to get a certain election,” Lutnick noted. He continued, “now remember, Quebec has the sovereign party was in the lead, so that’s why they came up with this French nonsense. You think the American side talked about how people speak in Quebec? We have a deal with France, we have a deal with Italy, we have a deal with Germany, we don’t care about their language; none of that was true.”

66 Gemini....

While giant edible tortilla-chip sombreros aren't a mass-market grocery store product yet, the structural concept definitely exists in cooking and party circles:

Taco Bowls & Skillet "Sombreros": Food channels and recipe sites frequently make "Sombrero Pies" or deep-fried tortilla bowls where a large, molded tortilla creates a raised crown in the center and a outer rim to hold ground beef, melted cheese, and salsa.

Ceramic Sombrero Platters: There are popular ceramic serving dishes shaped like a sombrero where the center "crown" holds the salsa or dip, and the wide outer brim holds a ring of regular tortilla chips.

The Structural Challenge: The reason major snack brands (like Doritos or Tostitos) haven't put a giant 12-inch edible chip hat in a bag comes down to shipping logistics. A pre-fried, hollow chip structure that thin would shatter into a hundred pieces before it ever reached the supermarket shelf.

If someone figures out how to package an giant, unbroken corn-chip hat that you can load up with taco meat, cheese, and jalapeños without structural failure, they'll have a massive party hit on their hands.


Later all.

Humans like to pretend they are "preparing" their food. Even when a waitress brings it right to you, you often adjust the plate a little, right? You're "preparing" your food.

Close to one dozen California commercial driving schools have been shut down by the Trump administration after the feds claimed there was an alarming lack of English proficiency among drivers.

The 11 schools are located across the state — including in SoCal, the Bay Area and the Central Valley — according to documents shared with The California Post.

The driving schools were all closed due to failures associated with more than 5,000 drivers who failed English language proficiency tests across the nation.

Several of the driving schools reviewed by The California Post were marketed as multilingual, with at least two schools promising instructors who spoke “English, Punjabi, Hindi & Spanish!”

304 "save-get" is almost certainly newsroom slang for "save it and get it later"—basically, stick this headline in the file drawer and reuse the formula when another story comes along.

Kaus is talking about a headline ("hed" = headline in journalism jargon) and saying that "CBS' El-Sayed Scandal" is a bad or misleading headline. His joke is that editors can nevertheless save the template because it's a generic scandal headline that can be recycled endlessly:

"CNN's ___ Scandal"
"Trump's ___ Scandal"
"Biden's ___ Scandal"
etc.

So the meaning is roughly:

"This headline is nonsense, but it's such a reusable piece of clickbait that they can save it and pull it out again later."

Lindsay Clancy Jury Still Deadlocked
Plus: AWFUL Film-Maker Praises the Murder of the Bank of America VP and Celebrates Luigi Mangione

This is going to be a mistrial, and, instead of retrying the case, the prosecutors will realize the AWFUL "Mommyslueths" are about 60% of all women so no conviction will be possible. They'll offer a plea deal, something like ten years suspended sentence under psychiatric supervision.

By the way: I think there is a weak, but understandable, case for not guilty by reason of insanity here. I can understand the case for mercy.

What I don't understand is the "Mommysleuths" turning this psychotic child-murderer into an actual hero.

It's possible the jurors felt intimidated by the mental cases showing up at the trial, just as the George Floyd jurors were intimidated at having BLM "protesting" outside the court every day.

This pig calls herself a "crime junkie," and made a spectacle of filming all the jurors. Better decide right, jurors!


PLYMOUTH, Mass. -- The self-described crime junkie arrested for allegedly filming jurors in Lindsay Clancy's case was all smiles after she was released Wednesday following a hearing where prosecutors alleged she risked the "sanctity" of the killer mom's trial.

Dawn Light, 56, pleaded not guilty to the charge of aggravated intimidation of a juror in the same courthouse where Clancy's high-profile triple murder trial has been underway for the past six weeks.

Light -- a retired nurse -- allegedly pulled her blue Toyota into a "restricted area" of the court premises and filmed and took photos from inside the car as jurors were leaving court Tuesday afternoon, prosecutor Nicole Piacentini claimed.

The prosecutor asked the judge to hold Light on $50,000 bail, keep her away from the court and bar her from posting any video or photos she may have uploaded to the cloud.

Light is a "crime junkie" and Clancy supporter who has attended other high-profile murder trials, including for Alex Murdaugh and Karen Read, she revealed in an interview with CT Insider Wednesday.

When cops approached Light "she was adamant" she wasn't filming jurors but rather "waiting to see if Lindsay Clancy would come out of the building," the prosecutor claimed.

But when the cops looked inside her phone, they found a video of jurors walking out in her deleted folder, Piacentini alleged.

"This individual is not only videoing ... She went back to a restricted area. She was caught in that restricted area," the prosecutor said.

NEW: 56-year-old Dawn Light, arrested on a charge of felony jury intimidation after she was caught allegedly taking photos of jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial yesterday, is in some serious hot water.

Because the case involves a potential life sentence, the penalties for this are increased, meaning if Light is convicted, she can face up to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine under MA law.

Careful, fellas, she's married.

Just kidding, of course.

She was married, though.

Per Viva Frei, she has some experience with sudden deaths in the family.

In more AWFULS Are Broken and Thirst For Murder News, Lexi Alexander, a pissant director most famous for directing the not-very-good Punisher: War Zone, declared the murder of the Bank of America VP by the deranged female knife-killer was a good thing and invoked Luigi Mangione's murder of the United Healthcare executive, likening Mangione to... Batman.

Oh, and she's Palestinian, so she was already a fan of the so-called "Stabbing Intifada."

lexialexanderstabbingintifada.jpg


lexialesanderbanner.jpg

A Palestinian-American filmmaker who directed cult classic "Green Street Hooligans" celebrated the death of young executive and new mom Erin Piacenti by posting a meme about alleged CEO-killer Luigi Mangione.

Lexi Alexander, who was also nominated for an Academy Award in 2003 for a short film she directed, posted an image on social media Tuesday of Batman staring up at a bat signal replaced with Mangione's face.

The sick meme was shared in response to another post that identified Piacenti, who was killed by a mentally ill woman in Times Square, as a vice president at Bank of America.

Alexander, who is also a world champion martial artist, also claimed in a comment on her own post that Israeli "bots" were "out in full swing just like the first time we asked people to boycott BofA."

The filmmaker shared a link to a January Haaretz article about the company's recommendation to invest in Israeli banks.

"Israel doesn't care about the woman who got killed, they care about the positive rating BofA gave them in the middle of a genocide. There is huge money at stake,"

The post received almost 400,000 views by Wednesday afternoon -- with many users who commented blasting the director for cheering the death of an innocent woman who was murdered in her prime.

"A young woman was murdered while innocently walking down the street, and you are celebrating," one user wrote. "You are absolute human garbage, and I suspect you know that deep-down."

Alexander's representatives did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.

Piacenti, 32, had just finished her first day back at work after a five-month maternity leave when she was fatally stabbed in the abdomen with a kitchen knife in Times Square on Monday afternoon by Pamela Cisneros, 49, who also stabbed another man before she was shot dead by police.

...

She has been outspoken in her criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza after the outbreak of the war with Hamas in Oct. 2023.

No shit?

Meanwhile:

To answer the question: No, they won't valorize her. The AWFUL "Mommysleuths" are bored stupid white housewives who are addicted to ID and Lifetime Original Movies. Their interest in crime is chiefly about the domestic drama soap-opera aspect of it. They like their Heroic Murderesses to be white and suburban and college educated (?) like they are. This allows them to project themselves into the stories like Mary Sues and imagine being frenz with the female killers.

Also: They're all Libras and this black murderess is obviously a Capricorn. You can see it in her eyes -- she has that Capricorn "vibe."

If you're ever threatened by a Capricorn, just cast a Spell of Binding on a carrot or a leek and then break it while chanting, "I break you as I break this carrot (or leek, obviously)." Works every time.

That's just #Science, dummies. Don't you Drumpf-Dummies understand #Science??!?!

Can you imagine this dynamic if it were a man? That murdered his 3 kids while his wife went out? And he started talking about depression?

If you want to know why women are willing to completely ruin lives (including their children's) during a divorce and basically lie about everything, look no further than how they conducted themsleves on this.

Nearly half of women somehow think this is the husband's fault.

In mom's case, it was just the thing a married woman did. They kept trying until they got a boy. I was the fourth girl, so, mostly a throwaway. I'm sure these days we just say use contraception, which is never an option for Catholics, but back then, only whores used contraception (according to certain levels of society). At any rate, I think a lot of women who grew up with very few siblings have no idea what childbearing or child raising involves, since they never saw it. They are woefully unprepared to deal with it. I know DH had no idea how to change a diaper or that you had to burp a baby. He never grew up around childcare. So it probably comes as a surprise. Plus, there are very few stay at home moms who pool resources anymore. I remember 16 or more kids in our backyard while other moms went to the beauty parlor or grocery store. That doesn't happen now.

66 One of my current podcast listens is Actual Friends, where IRL friends Dr Drew, Dave Rubin, Jillian Michaels, and Sage Steele shoot the breeze on current news and politics. All recovering lefties that have moved right.

Their recent episode covering Clancy was where Dr Drew talked about the resources and connections Clancy had to get help, being a nurse.

I appreciated Sage's take on Clancy's mental state and her compassion, because before the ep I was all "just fry her." Sage suffered postpartum depression, which is different from psychosis, but she was able to talk about the isolation and despite you feel ok that mental space.

They all agreed it's just a tragedy all around, and I 100% feel that too. Her doctors and Big Pharma failed her. She was suffering and clearly needed more mental help. She failed as a mom and a human by snuffing out the life of her vulnerable children.

As said many times before, if you are incapable of being found guilty because of severe illness, you are not capable of living freely in society.

Also, another dangerous thing has locked into our post-modern society. That is, prison is primarily a venue for reform. Utterly stupid and wrong. The reform of prisoners is not and has not been a element of accountability. It's rare, and more importantly, only extraneous. The purpose is to remove dangerous or unethical people from preying on society.

79 The only thing this demonization of mental illness does is further stigmatize it and make people even more afraid to seek help.

I've been in psychosis. There is no control, there is no reality.

I saw some comments yesterday like “MY mom had PPD and because she’s actually a good person, she never thought about killing me!!” And like?? Congrats? YOUR mom didn’t suffer the same thing that other women do. Don’t act like your mom is on some moral high horse.

Her life has been destroyed, regardless. Her children are gone. Marriage destroyed. Family changed forever. Whether she ends up in prison or a psychiatric hospital, there are no happy days ahead for her, I wager. On top of all of this she is paralyzed and incontinent for the rest of her life, and she is not an old woman. It's a tragedy all around.

Prison isn't going to help anything.

We have such a long way to go when it comes to mental health for women. I also hate how so many men assume they understand a disorder that’s exclusively experienced by women

I think feminists, being not-so-secretly great admirers of what they call "toxic masculinity," thirst for violence because they feel that makes them "equal to men.'

But the thing is, they've been almost entirely immune to violence their whole lives so they romanticize the power of violence.

Men have grown up being physically bullied and figthing and playing contact sports and so forth and so have developed an ethical framework for violence. You see all these left-wing women urging violence and praising killing because they have no framwork for containing and controlling violence. It all seems like a #GirlPower fun time to them.

I think only at most in terms of sentencing. Not guilt. She might not deserve the same punishment as someone who plainly murdered their kids in pure cold blood because she wanted to be with a guy who didn't want kids. (This has happened, btw.)

But any diminished mental capacity shouldn't affect her guilt. We need to get past the pro-criminal commie idea that "insanity" gets you a not-guilty verdict.

85 How coincidental that this Light woman has two premature deaths in her family, is a nurse, self-described crime junkie, loves the lime light, fan girl of murderess of children Clancy, falls into her own son's grave, etc.

She tells police that she only wanted to film Clancy coming out of the courthouse and her lawyer tells the Judge that this is all a misunderstanding. My aching ass. I'd be investigating this lying pig as to what really happened to her family members.

101 No, they won't valorize her. The AWFUL "Mommysleuths" are bored stupid white housewives who are addicted to ID and Lifetime Original Movies. Their interest in crime is chiefly about the domestic drama soap-opera aspect of it. They like their Heroic Murderesses to be white and suburban and college educated (?) like they are. This allows them to project themselves into the stories like Mary Sues and imagine being frenz with the female killers.

------

Won't matter if they do. Ephreana will be tried in rural TN, she'll be found guilty of first-degree murder, and be sentenced to no less than 51 years before possibility of parole.

But she murdered a child, so it will be life without possibility.

120 One question I have about the Clancy case:

How does she feel about becoming a martyr for all these psychotic TikTok moms? She can see them lining the route, but I assume she can't go on the internet. Would she be appalled at what they are doing? Or thrilled?

If it was me, if I was on trial for killing my kids, and I could finally make a public statement, I would tear them all a new one, tell them off for lionizing me. That I regret what I did and want to die, how dare they use me like this for their own agendas. That they are all sick and need help and I hope their spouses take away their kids and get full custody. Because their kids clearly aren't safe with them.

If she's truly psycho and a narcissist, though, she might love it. And will spin it into a book deal or influencer movement if she can.

I hope not. I hope she'd be horrified at the monstrous, satanic underbelly of modern motherhood that she's unwittingly unleashed.

124 It should have been a mistrial yesterday when some of the non-biased/sarcasm women jurors wore pink.

The pink "ladies" should not be within 100yds of the courthouse. Certainly not close enough to influence the jurors or the media circus.

Then today when that whack job took photos of the jury: mistrial. That was pure intimidation.

In the next trail there should be perimeters far away from the courthouse & jurors sequestered. Simple as that.

I was on a federal jury (banking) in Orlando. Not sequestered but put in a hotel as I lived over an hour away. I was told NOT to look at the story online or in papers for the 3 nights.

I spent the time watching a documentary on Dolly Madison. I was paranoid "they" would figure out what I was watching or want to see my laptop. I ain't no fool.

I was not the foreman but to prevent a hung jury (pool was 1/2 Dim & GOP from voting registration, or so I read), I sort of took over. Which is normal for me.

The Dims were bleeding hearts over the developer who stole money from banking deals. I was not a bleeding heart. He also looked to be in the mob. Guilty.

I read my notes and swayed them with common sense and we found him guilty and went home.

Three days ago a gunman opened fire outside Venture-N, a Tucson gay bar. Two men dead. The shooter dead. Police now call it a targeted hate crime. He had a list of LGBTQ businesses on him.

You probably even didn’t heard about it.

Because the shooter wasn’t the approved villain. He WASN’T a white Christian nationalist. He was Ousman Ceesay, 44, a Muslim immigrant born in The Gambia. He confronted two men in the parking lot and started shooting.

One of the victims was Cameron Davis Capara, a well-known local photographer and left- wing political activist who spent years documenting pro-Palestine marches, anti-ICE actions, anti-Trump, anti-fascism rallies, and anti-capitalist “No Kings” circles. The other was Vincent Anthony Siqueiros.

Both were killed where they stood.

Police didn’t rush out a mugshot package. Some coverage danced around the shooter’s background. National cameras never really showed up. No wall-to-wall specials. No Democratic officials lining up at podiums to denounce homophobia and demand action. The story dropped fast.

Harvard/Harris released their most recent generic congressional ballot poll.

R - 51
D - 49

They're far from the worst pollster. In 2024, their final GCB poll said D+2. Their summer poll (late July) said R+4. Final result was R+2.

In 2022, their final poll said R+6. Their summer poll (early September) said D+2. They also had a late July poll that saw a tie. Final result was R+3.

Noisy, not exact, but reasonably reflective of what would happen...even in their final summer poll last cycle.

Maybe this won't be another D+9 year like 2018? That'd be crazy, though, right?

232 No mercy for Clancy to give, other than her realization, at times, that she planned and murdered her own children who could not fight back. How do you live with that?

Have read she had a nanny during all this. For 3.5 days a week the older two were in preschool/daycare. She had it easy based on most of us who could not afford a nanny.

I worked around our boys as a RN with my husband often out of town. We had no family to rely on, & new friends who worked & did not have kids. I was it with no back up to help for anything with the boys. It never occured to me to harm them, no matter how chimpy they got.

The only time I felt clinically depressed for 2 wks in the late '80's. We'd all had the flu then got mycoplasma (which mildly damaged my lungs). Exhausted & this led to depression. Boys 2 and 4yrs old.

I called my mother, brother and then best friend to ask if they could come help and they couldn't. Not once did I consider hurting our boys as I just wanted to sleep. I felt like what I read about having mono with no energy. I cried, which is rare. Then I got better.

Lucky, too, in that their father helped with everything with sons. Canceled trips if they were ill.

There was a story a few years ago where a petite coed confronted a college football player. I think she had been a one night stand or something and didn't like it.

So she got in his face and started yelling. Then punched him which had no effect because, well, she really wasn't very strong.

He in turn punched her once full strength and knocked her to the ground and I think she was in rehab for a few months.

He went to jail.

As awful as her crimes were, she doesn't look particularly malicious or malevolent. She sobbed many times throughout the trial (so I've read) and she's sitting there in a wheelchair. Even I've felt an amount of grief for her over what she's done. I'm not saying I wouldn't have convicted her. I was not in the courtroom, nor did I hear all the testimony about her true medical/mental state. If I had to hazard a guess, I would've found her guilty, but I would've taken no pleasure in it.

So many privileges the rest of us don't have. Went to some of the best doctors in the country for her mental stuff. And her husband paid for the nanny and the doctors, used paternity leave to be with her for the third child, and arranged it with his job that he worked at home.

I told that bit about the working from home to my husband, and he said oh the husband clearly knew she was nutty then, he arranged to work at home to make sure she didn't do anything. I hadn't thought of that. He also told her therapist before the killings she needed more help but they seemed to dismiss it. He's suing the therapist for failing her.

But the husband clearly had done all he could to help. Apparently she had postpartum depression with the first two, and it was hell. But she finally got over it. He probably thought "this too shall pass," until it tragically didn't.

Sadly, the stigma against moms with kids who died of SIDS has caused a lack of funding and research. So SIDS still causes thousands of infant deaths a year.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 02, 2026 04:09 PM (iFTx/)



Strange how the # of SIDS increased right along with the # of vaccinations they were required to get in rapid succession the first 6 months of life.

But don't use that as an indicator that anything is wrong. Kids just die. So be it.

291 It's like those stupid girls who punch much bigger, stronger men. They have no idea what comes next. But a man would know, and most likely not punch a bigger guy.

There was a story a few years ago where a petite coed confronted a college football player. I think she had been a one night stand or something and didn't like it.

So she got in his face and started yelling. Then punched him which had no effect because, well, she really wasn't very strong.

He in turn punched her once full strength and knocked her to the ground and I think she was in rehab for a few months.

He went to jail.

Some women just do not understand strength differences or won't bother considering it.

**********
Many SIDS cases were from sleeping with parents/mother in her bed vs murder. Soft mattress, pillows and comforters.

Which is why, I think?, SIDS cases declined since putting babies on their backs in safe cribs without pillows, stuffed animals or quilts. My grands slept in sleep sacks, with arms unrestrained.

The rates of SIDS was reported to have increased by 11% in 2025. Blaming smoking, race, co-sleeping, and poverty (my edit: ignorance and probably drugs).

Some, yes.

Because that's the generalized movement every year, summer is very D friendly, and then it gets more R friendly as autumn comes.

It's that direction literally every year because the polling errors are not random or due to statistical noise. It's because it's a concerted effort by the polling firm to prop up Democrats.

Which is why freaking out about summer polling looking bad for Republicans is pointless.

The American public does not move 10 points in a few weeks in terms of political decisions. The late summer/early autumn movement towards Republicans is fake. At best, it's response bias (progressives like talking to pollsters more than conservatives). It's more than likely cheap polling firms modeling badly and intentionally so.

It might have been true that conservatives paid less attention to politics in like the 70s in a completely different media environment. It's not true now.

Beautiful children. Not that ugly children should be murdered...but their little faces make me sad.

My mother told me, during the chimp era of boys, "not to spank when you are mad." I found that quite odd advice based on when are you supposed to spank them? Plus the fact that she never did & told us to wait til our father got home.

I gave one a whack on 2yy baby's diapered bottom once when the he bit the heck out of his older brother who was screaming. The older one messed with the baby til he went loco. Had a full dental impression on his bare shoulder. They were in time out a lot after my glare and talking sense into them.

Didn't know the father worked at home during this time. Wow.

What on earth did mommy do with a nanny? Did the kids interfere with her mani/pedis? Her ladies who lunch dates?

I would not know as I was a full time mother til they hit kindergarten and beyond.

Yes. Men, no matter WHAT leftist retards say, can't get pregnant.

If a female soldier survives her captivity, the odds on her being pregnant are significant. She has to live with that the rest of her life, no matter what 'choice' is made.

These wimmen are not giving a career in nursing a good name, are they?

The nurse who murdered premies in the UK I wanted to strangle myself. She had some sort of Munchausen's Grief Trauma need for attention. So she I could diagnose, altho she's a demon.

Mommy's with a nanny, daycare for siblings, and extensive maternity leave from L&D (plus a husband who worked from home) are a mystery to me.

This is a strange point of overlap between two typically very opposed groups: feminists and religious Tradcons. For feminists women are never to be held accountable because of the oppressive male patriarchy. For religious Tradcons, women are never to be held accountable because their husbands are the ones responsible because headship and leadership. End result is the same: the woman is ultimately never to blame, it's because men failed her.

I've always been against female in combat roles. Soldiers fight, soldiers get captured, soldiers get tortured. Women get raped.

The FIRST thing everyone worried about when that silly broad made the wrong turn in Iraq and got captured was that she was being raped.

When they found her, she was in a hospital, but miraculously wasn't sexually assaulted.

Considering who we're fighting against, there's a very strong argument to be made that the men captured will also be raped. Doubly so for the ladies.

If memory serves, Lynch wasn't raped/molested but one of the other women captured in the convoy was.

Look up the uncensored version of what happened to Lara Logan in Tahrir Square in Cairo after the revolution against Mubarak. It's horrific. Those savages basically ripped off her clothes and two of them got their hands inside of her and tried to split her in two. American women in uniform would probably suffer even worse if they were captured.

I should call them both today and tell them they are lucky to have lived to make it to school with only their Mom taking care of them.

When we moved to FL we had no family and only my dude's work friends. Elderly neighbors who were nice.

Prosecutor Who Blew the Whistle on "Tish" James' Unethical Demand to "Dig Up Dirt" on Trump and His Friends Sits Down for Several-Hour Interview with Federal Prosecutors

This gigantic mutant hag might finally get some justice.

Or at least she'll get prosecutorial process-- which the left has used for decades as a punishment in itself.

Fed investigators met with Tish James whistleblower who claimed he was pushed to dig up dirt on Trump: sources


The whistleblower in Attorney General Letitia James' office who said he was ordered to dig up dirt on President Trump met with federal prosecutors for "several hours" Tuesday, sources said.

Daniel Wiesenfeld, a former Brooklyn prosecutor and a lawyer in James' office, had a lengthy sit-down with both criminal and civil attorneys from the FBI and the US Department of Justice over his bombshell claims, the sources told The Post.

The extent of the feds' interest in the case is unclear.

I bet I can name one top-ranking fed who is very interested in this, and his opinion carries more weight than most others'.


Wiesenfeld, who has been placed on paid administrative leave, claimed in a since-deleted Friday email to colleagues that was leaked to the Times-Union that his boss, Investor Protection Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe, instructed him "to find and pursue crimes" by Trump allies.

"If you believe Trump is using the [Department of Justice] attorneys to prosecute his enemies to further his political interests, you should find it equally troubling that Tish [James] is doing exactly the same thing," the email allegedly said.

In a statement this week, James' office called the scandal "a personnel matter."

LOL. What I illegally order my prosecutors to do is just an personnel matter. We just have an internal disagreement about whether I broke the law.

Did I murder my wife and children? It's none of your business. It's a family matter. Please respect my privacy and give me space to grieve.

...

However, the Trump administration this week fired back at James in a scathing statement.

"This is more proof of the weaponization of the justice system by Letitia James to target President Trump and her political opponents," White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis said. "The far-left Democrats' lawfare against President Trump, his family must stop."

Unrelated, except it involves the corrupt shithole state of New York:

Yesterday, a crazed woman butchered another woman with a kitchen knife and wounded two others. Cops shot tasers at her, but she pulled out the darts and they had no effect, because she's a landwhale and probably up to her gills in drugs.

Cops shot her as she rushed one cop with her kitchen knife extended before her.

Obviously, you knew this was coming: the knife-attacker is an Oppressed Minority (TM) so you just knew the racist left would begin pushing the "Why didn't they just shoot the knife out of her hand?" bullshit they pull whenever an Oppressed Minority is shot attacking cops.

In this case, the crazed assailant's mom is demanding to know why the cops didn't just take their stabbings like men and just tackle the knife-crazed maniac.

The mother of the crazed Queens woman who killed a new mom and seriously wounded an elderly dad in a terrifying Times Square stabbing spree is questioning why cops didn't just "grab" her daughter rather than fatally shoot her when she charged at them with knives.


NYPD officers attempted to deploy tasers, but they were ineffective. She then rushed at them while waving the knives, prompting two officers to open fire, the dramatic footage shows.

"There were so many police... why didn't they grab her by the arm?" Cisneros' mother, who did not give her name, asked Fox 5 News in Spanish.

In Spanish, huh? I've been wondering about her immigration status. As no one is reporting on it, I imagine the reasons for the non-reportage of it are the usual reasons.

...

Cisneros suffers from what her brother described to The Post Tuesday as bipolar disorder, but said she'd been receiving treatment in recent years and "never showed any aggressiveness."

"I don't know what happened," Patrick Peralta, 59, said, adding his sister had found some stability through medication in recent years and reported feeling "fine" as recently as Saturday.

Cisneros, of Queens, had a documented mental health history with police, including a suicide attempt.

Cisneros drew the attention from NYPD cops in December 2018 when she was belligerent, intoxicated and screaming along Lexington Avenue, sources said. She then tried to kill herself in March 2019 by jumping in front of an E train in Queens, sources said.

Court records show that Cisneros' marriage fell apart around this time, with her husband filing for divorce in Hillsborough County, Florida, during 2020. The divorce was finalized last year.

...

Cisneros had whipped out two knives from a red Target bag and stabbed the first victim, Tak Kam, a 68-year-old dad from Rhode Island, in the abdomen as he exited the subway on West 41st Street and was waiting to cross the street, police said.

She then continued up to 42nd Street and seconds later fatally stabbed Piacenti -- a vice president at Bank of America who had just returned from maternity leave.

I don't blame the mom for this stupid objection. When your child is killed, you're going to spin out reasons why this was unfair and why cops should have just let your innocent baby stab as many people as she could before she got all tuckered out and took a nap.

I mean, it's a tough thing to process. I get that. A child is the most important thing in the world to a parent, and many would trade other people's lives for their child's.

Fine.

But society, of course, can definitely not trade innocent people's lives, including those of cops, for the lives of crazed violent killers.

So while I can excuse the mother's stupid babblings, I do not excuse the ambulance-chasing racists of the tribal left, who take cases like this and blow them up into national crises, with the eager assistance of the traitor media.

We'll see if the corrupt Soros Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, prosecutes the cops like he prosecuted Daniel Perry.

50 I learned about how the perp was TASER'ed before being shot. TASER was the warning shot. She somehow shrugged it off and still went after the cops right after already having stabbed two people.

Sometimes, rabid dogs need to be put down.


Jesse Waters, while on the Five, discussed the Butcher Knife Bitch's takedown by the cops. He went on and on about all the things they could do to disarm her, like in the movies. Shoot the knives. Use a whip to disarm her, like Indiana Jones. I don't know if I missed any special context as he played it straight rather than dripping in condescending sarcasm, so Poe's Law is in full force there.

I wish Greg would have done a rejoinder to Jesse, mentioning the fact that Indy also faced a blade-wielding maniac. One that flashed his shiny weapon all around.

Indy drew his gun and shot him.

This is one of the times when the media's insistence on balls-out bias hurts.

I don't know either, but I ABSOLUTELY assume she's illegal.

When a white guy shoots up a school, we know absolutely everything about him and his family within 24 hours. News crews are posted up outside GamGam's yard, just shrieking for comment.

When a black guy gets shot by the police or in the commission of a crime, we get the background, the yearbook picture, et al. Shit, they did that with the lady up in MN just a few months ago - full on Glamour Shot spread in the media.

There's none of that now.

I assume that's because there IS no yearbook picture. Because she's illegal.

The problem is usually state law, not federal. For instance, here in KY our statute reads as follows:

"No person shall be involuntarily hospitalized unless such person is a mentally ill person:
(1) Who presents a danger or threat of danger to self, family or others as a result of the mental illness;
(2) Who can reasonably benefit from treatment; and
(3) For whom hospitalization is the least restrictive alternative mode of treatment presently available."

Note the "and" after (2), meaning all three elements have to be satisfied. So we have criminally insane people that have been found incompetent to stand trial, yet won't benefit from treatment for purposes of civil commitment.

132 There are a lot of video out about cops being "over aggressive."

Often the cops are justified, sometimes they are just being asses, and most common they are justified but the fact that they have to do this is a sad commentary on our society. Like in this case.

No cop should have to deal with these people, and when they do, they should not be expected to put their own bodies at risk.That woman is not worth the bones of a dead precinct rat.

But they never ask how we got here?
a) we import millions of scum from all over the world.
b) we let their crimes progress without any penalty or punishment
c) we tell them the country is evil and they are entitled
d) we tell them that our ancestors wronged their ancestors.

If you want to live in a safe society, you have to fix all that first. Then, when a cop sees someone having a mental breakdown with a knife (tm) he will have sympathy and try his best not to shoot her.

If a mistrial is called -- and I think it will be -- then she is neither convicted nor acquitted. She still faces the charges and the prosecutor can re-try the case. Or they could reach a plea deal.

Or the prosecutor can walk away.

I personally think the prosecutor can try the case 100x and not get a guilty verdict.

Well, with a mother's tendency to turn their attention inward, toward the family, no other mother's family was affected. So, she didn't cross family boundaries.

And it affirms their flights of fantasy and their own conception of their plight and the control that a woman "should" have over their family.

You really can't understand, you see.

Until the feminization of politics, I believe almost no man would try to get away with "You can't understand my position", because men (which operating best) check each other.

It's arguably why men go to war. Take a look at the tribe of Benjamin in the book of Judges. The judge of Benjamin refused to discipline a gang of violent rapists. So, the men of the other tribes had to.

(Nobody is a hero in that tale, though.)

Reconsidering State Reporting Requirements in Section 404 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996


The word “State” in section 404 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 encompasses all component agencies within a state. The mandatory reporting obligations in section 404(b)–(c) thus apply to all agencies within
a “State” that participates in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Supplemental Security Income programs subject to those requirements.

Our Office’s prior advice to the contrary, which narrowly construed the term “State” to refer only to the “state agencies administering the particular federally funded program,” 22 Op. O.L.C. 204, 205 (199, is hereby withdrawn.

Meanwhile, another possible Clancy copycat:

@CollinRugg
JUST IN: Locals fear a Lindsay Clancy copycat incident has taken place in Frankfort, Illinois, after a 2-year-old child was murdered.
Police are calling the incident a "domestic-related homicide." The child's mother was found "attempting self-harm"

Self harm cannot become the get out of jail free card for child murderers. It just cannot.

He is talking on his shoulder mounted mic walking towards a house when a woman comes bursting out with a knife screaming.

He started backing up and reaching for his pistol as she closed the 20 ft or so and he shot her at point blank range.

We have a lot of cases of Officer McDonut doing ridiculous things while arguing he just "wants to get home safely at the end of the day" but we also have plenty of cases where cops need to be armed and respond with fatal force and having a screaming maniac charge you with a knife is one of them.

Exactly, if she had affected another mother's children, it would violate the mother hen protection of her own. And be the translated equivalent of Clancy attacking her own children.

It's funny, Jerry Seinfeld came from New York, and used to joke about states that recognized "Needin' Killin'". But the East Coast urbanized states are the major proponents of "Needed Killin'".

But the states you could have said that about in the 70s were blew. They were blew then and they're blew now.

Remember, when you abandon God, he abandons you to your perversity. "Perversity" means to "thoroughly turn".

You do not have the protection in your mind, but only the confusion of one thought precariously stacked on another, as you please. And I think it's just a part of our nature that if we spurn God, he allows us to become illustrations of the perversity of our thought.

We thought the ideas of civility were ours. And we thought we could balance civil order and forgiveness on our own. But the Lord gave us a model of the price of general forgiveness.

We just think we can improve on the idea.

Posted by: Oldcat

I remember a video of a cop responding to something minor, like a suspicious person call. There's a young black guy in a coat that keeps walking away from the cop and refusing to interact. The cop (because the guy just roughly matches the description, and probably to avoid being called racist) doesn't have his weapon out, is following the guy, and trying to be nice and asks him repeatedly to just stop for a second. As the cop gets really close, the kid just whips around with a pistol in his hand and shoots the cop. Real footage...I can't find it, or recall if the cop died (or was just horribly injured).

Dr Drew had a good take on the tragedy of this: she's a nurse who helps with children and babies.

In mom's case, it was just the thing a married woman did. They kept trying until they got a boy. I was the fourth girl, so, mostly a throwaway. I'm sure these days we just say use contraception, which is never an option for Catholics, but back then, only whores used contraception (according to certain levels of society). At any rate, I think a lot of women who grew up with very few siblings have no idea what childbearing or child raising involves, since they never saw it. They are woefully unprepared to deal with it. I know DH had no idea how to change a diaper or that you had to burp a baby. He never grew up around childcare. So it probably comes as a surprise. Plus, there are very few stay at home moms who pool resources anymore. I remember 16 or more kids in our backyard while other moms went to the beauty parlor or grocery store. That doesn't happen now.

Hunter Biden: I Used Burisma Money To Buy Drugs and Whores and My Daddy Used to Visit Me in My Crackdens With His Vice Presidential Motorcade
Update: Hunter Says He's "48% Gay" Which Seems Low to Me

Israel did a great job framing a guy who is so clearly guilty.

Very crafty, Israelis.

Hunter Biden reveals he used Burisma cash to buy drugs, Joe Biden 'showed up' to his drug den flanked by Secret Service

"Well, I still had the residual. Like for instance, I still was on the board of Burisma."

Hunter Biden reveals he used Burisma cash to buy drugs, Joe Biden 'showed up' to his drug den flanked by Secret Service

...


Speaking to host Dave Manheim, who asked him how could afford the long stay at the ritzy hotel [Chateau Marmont, where various celebrities have overdosed in pricey squalor] in California, Biden replied, "Well, I still had the residual. Like for instance, I still was on the board of Burisma."

...

Although he had no experience in the energy industry, the younger Biden argued that he was qualified for the role and that he wasn't "running some kind of international crime syndicate."

"What people don't understand about Burisma is that I went on the board of Burisma because I had been on the board of about 14 other major national and international organizations," he added. "I was chairman of the board of the UN World Food Program, which is the largest humanitarian organization in the world -- we increased the budget when I was chairman from $1.8 billion to $2.6 billion when I was there."

"I can't be guilty of using my father's office to influence-peddle to Burisma because I was simultaneously influence-peddling with 14 other organizations! I'm smart! Hire me as your lawyer and lobbyist!"



He also talked about how his father, while vice president under Barack Obama, "showed up" at his home flanked by Secret Service agents while Hunter was using drugs.

...

During the course of the interview, Biden said that "true addicts" are some of the most "resourceful, resilient, intelligent, and mission oriented" people around, and that without the crack, addicts are "bada** f*cking warriors."

Oh, he's praising degenerate drug addicts now, great. He and Tuq'r Qarlson can bond over what bada** f***ing warriors they are.

Update: Hunter was probably also a bad*** f***ing warrior when he was blowing his crack dealer, too.

Hunter Biden identified as a "little bit gay" in a recent podcast interview dominated by talk about his sexuality.

The former first son, 56, who's married to Melissa Cohen, made the revealing remarks on an Aug. 16 episode of the Luke Beasley Show podcast.

Beasley asked Biden, "Are you gay?" early on in the interview.

Former President Joe Biden's son replied: "Only a little bit."

Beasley then asked if Hunter was "more or less than 50 percent" gay -- and the ex-first son said, "48.6 percent."

The podcaster then wanted to know if he'd be Hunter's "type."

"A little bit more masculine would be my type, if I was gay," Hunter responded.

...

Later in the episode, Biden went back to "the gay question," as he put it and said "maybe I take back 48.5" percent.

"More like 47 [percent] after that conversation. My gaydom went down a percentage point," the former president's son quipped.

Toward the end of the nearly 90-minute interview, Hunter retracted and said "I just wanted to let you know that I am back up to 48.5 percent gay."

Is this real? I don't know. The left has a new rule to show you're an "ally:" If a gay man flirts with you, and you're straight, you're supposed to flirt back and entertain the possibility that you might have sex with him.

Women are not required to pretend they are sexually interested in men they're not attracted to, but men are now required by the left to pretend they're sexually interested in other men. And sometimes more than just pretend.

Hey, you're an ally, right?

Thanks to TJM and JackStraw.

49 If Democrats sent out a positive hypermasculine role model no one would buy it, plus it would promote masculinity which is a no-no.

So this op does multiple things for them. It associates masculinity with the full fledged shitness of Democrats, while leveraging the strength that naturally comes with it. In the end it's just noise to most people, who just think (unconsciously) "boys will be boys" and "Republicans have a bad boy in Trump, and he's President".

Meanwhile the image of fairy fag asshole twink nasty bitchy haranguing Democrats slowly falls by the wayside because masculinity naturally has the power to move that shit aside. If you don't see it that's fine. It's not meant to be seen.

137 129 Is there video of the interview? The "48%" gay thing might have just been a quip.

Hunter is many many things, almost all of them bad, but if he was gay there would be some hard evidence of that somewhere.

I mean, there's mountains of pics of him doing crack, getting physical with whores, and other illegal conduct. If he was gay, there would be evidence. I think.

139 48% gay means bisexual.
Hunter is as dumb as his old man he just has gotten dementia yet.

I’m sure the crack didn’t help that future prognosis.

Which means that Hunter would be a perfect future US Senate candidate for Maryland, New York, Oregon or California.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned or don't understand something, but to me, being ghey is more of a binary than a scale - you're either attracted to the same sex or you're not.

I really hate this current trope in TV and moobies that if two males are close, obviously they have the hots for each other. As if comradery or brotherhood necessarily involves sexual attraction.

150 Nothing new. And going nowhere.

But his former wife and his sister have non-profits in D.C.

His oldest daughter, Naomi, works as an associate attorney at the Washington, D.C. law firm Arnold & Porter.

Among other positions, her lawyer husband was a legal intern at the Office of General Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives and a legal intern at the U.S. Department of Justice. He may still serve with the US Army's Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG Corps).

Finnegan Biden, the middle of his oldest three daughters, was reported to be working on global environmental initiatives at Bloomberg Philanthropies.

The youngest of that group, Roberta 'Maisy' Biden works as a fine artist.

And his youngest daughter's support was attached to his art sales. What a shame.

This is one reason why the attack on empathy is so evil. If we have to wait for person after person to experience the brutality of this administration before we wake up, then we'll inflict an immense amount of pain on our country. But if, instead, we could place ourselves in the shoes of the immigrant in chains, then we can see the injustice more plainly.

And no, this does not mean that we can't or shouldn't deport illegal immigrants when appropriate. It doesn't mean we must have open borders. But we can't lose our own humanity and decency in the process, and we must not use brutality as an instrument of enforcement.

Once his mother - who seemed like a lovely, bright young woman - was killed, he probably never had a chances left to grow up & become a real man.

Democrats are so messed up, Hunter Biden has a real chance to be their 2028 Presidential nominee. I'm no ellipsis, but I see a pattern forming in the clouds where they're going to use a soap opera in their ticket to distract from their contemptible policies. Alexandira Ocasio-Cortez is setting things up for a romance-and-fertility drama, which if she has an unmarried or philandering running mate, could even cross over with his drama. Hunter would be perfect.

If Hunter were really smart he could have pulled something off like this:


Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️
@christopherrufo

EXCLUSIVE: A respiratory therapist named Curtis Kurkova billed California Medicaid $40 million, then spent millions on sports cars, private jets, luxury resorts, and an enormous mansion next to the Kardashian house.

The experts told us it had all the red flags for fraud.

Posted by: beckster at September 02, 2026 02:04 PM (kX27y)

307 In April 2026, Hunter’s legal representation filed documents indicating he was "living abroad" in Cape Town, South Africa—where Melissa is originally from.
Hunter even mentioned in a podcast appearance around that timeframe that he had been spending time in Cape Town and had "fallen madly in love" with the city.
Shortly after those filings, investigative reports by outlets like the New York Post revealed that the couple was not actually permanently residing in South Africa.
Sources close to the family disclosed that the South Africa story was a "ruse" to deflect creditors. In reality, Hunter and Melissa have been holed up at a luxury 8,000-acre estate in Santa Ynez, California (about two hours north of Los Angeles).

Now that's scary 'cause how is he pulling that off?

DHS Announces It Arrested 2,200 Illegal Aliens in NYC In One Month

From late July to late August.


The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday announced the results of its "Operation Rotten Apple" which they undertook in New York between late July and late August, with over 2,000 illegal immigrants being apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The operation saw agents arrest 2,197 illegal immigrants across the state. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a press conference Tuesday morning, "We focused on them all across the state of New York. These arrests included gang members, rapists, murderers, and child predators, which I believe there's a special place in hell for those individuals."

Mullin said in a statement, "Operation Rotten Apple did what sanctuary politicians in New York City and the state of New York refuse to do: made the Empire State safer. We won't let sanctuary politicians stand in our way. If you're a state or local politician, your best bet is to cooperate with us so we can all make America safe again." He said that the operation was conducted with "no help" from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani or Governor Kathy Hochul.

...

Mullin told reporters on Tuesday that the decision to launch the operation was made because Mayor Zohran Mamdani, "instead of working with law enforcement, tried to cut NYPD's budget by $22 million and refuses to work with federal law enforcement. You have a governor that refuses to work with us."

He said that the operation targeted 13,000 illegal immigrants who have been released by "New York sanctuary politicians" that DHS and ICE had placed detainers on. "These are your rapists, your murderers, your child predators, these are gangbangers, these are terrorists."

In case you missed it: A father whose five-year-old daughter is permanently disabled due to an illegal alien wrongly given a CDL tells Democrats to stop telling him they care, because they obviously don't. If they cared, they would act to stop this.

========

Canada increased its immigration heavily starting in 2015.

It's total GDP growth over that period has been 0.5%. Not annually, total.

Immigration didn't fix their issues.

In the 50s, we were averaging something like 4-5% GDP every year, and we had effectively 0 immigration.

The immigration = increased GDP argument is deeply dishonest because it actually refers to very restrained, restrictive immigration policies that do allow in only the best and brightest. It's like people arguing Keynesian economic policy to spend like drunken sailors when not even Keynes argued it.

I think the best path forward is the unequal application of the law.

Illegal immigrants get released early after being arrested for violent crimes in order to avoid ICE detainers while native born Americans arrested for the same crime get full sentences?

Posted by: mrp at September 02, 2026 12:26 PM (rj6Yv)

61 Meanwhile, Jim Geraghty of the National Google Review:

The case for deporting gang members, drug dealers, sex offenders and other criminals who endanger others is self-evident. The case for deporting an otherwise law-abiding illegal entrant or visa overstayer is less clear.

At a minimum, there seems to be little return on investment for putting resources into deporting — as the administration has — a married couple who run a landscaping business and have lived in the country for three decades, or a U.S.-born toddler sent to Haiti because the president unilaterally ended the kid’s parents’ temporary protected status.


They're trying to invent a new rule - if a person hasn't committed a felony, you're not allowed to deport them.

69 61 The case for deporting gang members, drug dealers, sex offenders and other criminals who endanger others is self-evident. The case for deporting an otherwise law-abiding illegal entrant or visa overstayer is less clear.

At a minimum, there seems to be little return on investment for putting resources into deporting — as the administration has — a married couple who run a landscaping business and have lived in the country for three decades, or a U.S.-born toddler sent to Haiti because the president unilaterally ended the kid’s parents’ temporary protected status.

They're trying to invent a new rule - if a person hasn't committed a felony, you're not allowed to deport them.

72 The immigration = increased GDP argument is deeply dishonest because it actually refers to very restrained, restrictive immigration policies that do allow in only the best and brightest.

Actually, low-skill immigrants increase GDP too.

It's just that they consume all of that GDP increase, and then some, leaving less GDP for people born in this country.

But the topic he raises is a good one, for exactly the opposite reason he thinks.

Most economic migrant illegals - which is 95% of them - will self-deport if they can't get work - or welfare. Some progress being made, with difficulty, on the latter.

No visible action whatsoever on the former. Switching off the employment magnet involves no raids, no mobs, no risk to arresting officers, no stupid fake public drama, no violence. Lawyers making phone calls, for the most part. Start with the known major (and often publicly held) companies. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey. With less than 2 years left (possibly), it's impossible to understand how this hasn't begun.

Nope Bastiat's broken window thesis destroys that. And Keynes himself was rather stupid on the role that investment plays in a free economy. His rep got extended because Paul Samuelson set his vague formulas into a mathematical model in the 60's.

Investment is the single biggest changeable factor in the modern GDP formula. And the main reason for massive increases in GDP (or the opposite, the so called capitalist strike, the biggest decreaser). That is because the Consumer portion of C+I+G=GDP doesn't change much instantly. Neither does government.

The main factor of GDP growth and decline in the short and long run is investment and investment, versus subsidizing consumers or growing government, is key to making us richer in the future by not consuming wealth in the present.

1.4 million forcibly deported in the first 12 months of Trump's second term.

Self-deporations is usually 3-6x that number, so at least 4.5 million gone in the first 12 months. That was January.

DHS and ICE have massively increased their effectiveness since Mullin came to office and took the quieter approach instead of the showy approach of Noem. Arrests, deportation flights, asylum rejections (historic highs at roughly 94% now), and TPS removals which have opened up the floodgates on who can be targeted for enforcement proceedings have helped tremendously.

It'll take 1,000 cuts to get this sorted, but those cuts are happening. This mess has been 60 years in the making, and Trump has made tremendous strides in 17 months.

188 The urgency is real, in that the risk of everything reverting to the disastrous last 30 years is very real.

There's a soft amnesty bill in the House with over 50 co-sponsors, 50 of whom are GOP. Lessee. That's far more than enough to pass, with the automatic support of the Dem idiot House members. Of course it won't get a vote - if only because Johnson et al know it would be political suicide, not that they wouldn't push it through in a day if they could.

Point being the desire of 70-80% of the country to restore rule of law in immigration, which didn't matter a bit for decades, will possibly again not matter a bit, depending on 2028. This could possibly be the only "window" of opportunity on this issue, in a practical sense, forever.

There is no "resource" reason for not going all-out on turning off the employment magnet - it's thousands of times safer and more efficient than arresting criminal illegals. And produces vastly larger and more important results.

Remember this every time Mullin, or Trump, or Miller, or Homan opens their mouth.

It is not as easy as you say and other than the food processing industry, illegals are in the agricultural harvesting sector as essentially contractors, ditto for trucking, ditto for construction, lawn care, tree service, etc. And they are provided often by a host of shell companies giving plausible deniability to the end user.

Simpson Mazzoli gives a safe harbor for employers that hire illegals if they simply take the id and they cannot question as to whether John Smith is really their name, etc. or risk being sued for racial discrimination. That makes it extremely difficult to charge an employer as you then must indicate intent (not that they were negligent, that they were intentionally hiring illegals).

It's an observable pattern.

ICE is hollowing out neighborhoods. If a significant portion of your neighborhood is deported, fear and a desire to retain community will lead to more self-deportations.

But, the standard is messed up. We use estimates for the number of people who leaked across the border under Biden (100 million illegals! 1/3 people total in America!), but even reported numbers get dismissed by the right in terms of deportations.

Yep. Cleaning sewers, septic tanks, dry latrines, and public toilets are all Dalit work. Maids are often not the lowest caste, so they will clean everything but the toilet. They'll hire someone specifically to do just that work.

Further, a big part of the reason India has such a big public pooping issue is this dynamic. People will intentionally choose to poop in a field or on a beach because a dry latrine has to be cleaned, and cleaning a dry latrine is Dalit work and they don't want to go through the effort or expense of hiring someone to clean.

If you can find a Fortune 500 company who says, "Juan Rodruigez, I know that you are an illegal, and I'm hiring you." Good luck. But it's all going to be, "Juan Rodruigez was passed through the eVerify system, so we are free of legal exposure."

Leverage. And all very cheap and risk-free to use. Doesn't even draw on the uniformed element very much.

Or pre-emptively surrender and concede only the small criminal portion of the problem will ever be addressed. Which seems most likely, as the political class is still 1,000% fanatically committed to open borders for employees.

Which is dumb because if she fully backed the referendum (or at least demanded a straight up independence referendum take place), if it passed, she could go to Ottawa, go to PM Carney and tell him “Look, fucker, either you give my province a fair deal or you go down as Canada’s last PM. Last chance.” Instead, time to waffle.

Premier Smith has little vision past the next election.

Wednesday Morning Rant

mannixape2.jpg

Enforcement

On Monday, the federal Department of Transportation announced that it, along with DHS and DOJ, has launched a major investigative and response operation targeted at rubber-stamp CDL training organizations that put non-English-speaking, illegal alien or other unqualified drivers on American highways. The first salvo has already been fired at the first layer in the CDL stack: introductory skills training. Federal DOT has, effective immediately, decertified and forced to shut down 110 entry-level CDL training programs.

That sounds like a lot, and it is - but it is also somehow apparently just a nibble at the edges. The press release on the operation is shocking. It starts with what has already been done, and some of it is stuff the agencies have been talking about for a while. Over the past 18 months, federal DOT has forced states to revoke around 30,000 fraudulent CDLs and purged in excess of 8,000 phony, incompetent, corrupt, fraudulent or derelict training organizations from its registry. That is before the 110 it purged in Monday's emergency action, and those that will come next. That sounds like a lot, and it is.

That 8,000 number of training providers removed from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) registry is astounding. The registry is a Biden-era artifact that registers training providers (driving schools, training organizations, independent organizations that train their own people, etc.) who self-certify that the requirements are met. The registry is public and searchable, and the largest category (Class B behind-the-wheel instruction) has about 3,800 providers listed. In total, going category-by-category, there are just over 28,000 providers currently listed - but there is overlap across categories. A lot of it. At least 739 organizations are listed a total of nine times, since they offer programs in every category. The real number of unique organizations on the list is much, much smaller than the gross number.

This puts that 8,000 figure into perspective. Over the last 18 months, federal DOT has probably purged between a third and half of the list, and the 110 removals in this week's emergency action are just the latest wave. Late last year, FMCSA chief Derek Barrs announced that the agency will be winding down the self-certification model, since it is rife with fraud and general inaccuracies (including dormant and defunct organizations). Dumping a large portion of the registry in 18 months is a strong indicator that the registry doesn't work.

Along with the 110 revocations announced, there are more on the horizon. From the DOT press release:

In July, FMCSA sent 175 investigators in 40 states to conduct nearly 400 investigations of ELDT [Entry Level Driver Training] providers. The investigations uncovered several serious cases of non-compliance ... These targeted efforts resulted in more than 160 notices of proposed removals from FMCSA's TPR. Drivers certified by these 160+ ELDT providers are linked to 239 commercial motor vehicle-related fatalities.
"More than 160" out of "nearly 400." For those of you doing the math at home, that's a lot. Assuming it is exactly 160 and 400, that amounts to a staggering 40%, and that appears to be a floor. 40% of investigations turned up enough bad behavior that the DOT is going to pull their certifications - on top of the 110 they already did during this initiative and the ~8,000 that preceded it.

While DOT is working on purging bad training organizations through the registry, Homeland Security Investigations is also a part of this new push, and they will be targeting a further 200 driving schools. Assuming they're as successful as DOT, expect another 80 to be shut down as a result. Outside of that, HSI is following up on more than a thousand other organizations:

HSI, in coordination with USDOT FMCSA and USDOT OIG, disseminated over 1,000 CDL-related business leads stemming from known or suspect business engaged in unsafe practices on the roadways and transportation-sector exploitation
This appears to the backwards-in-time approach, mapping incidents back to organizations and looking for trends. HSI is is also focusing on the fraud side of things - immigration, documentation, financial, medical, etc.

The announcement makes a point to outline state-level response options to FMCSA actions - including withholding funding and the final step of the FMCSA decertifying a state so the state cannot issue new or modify existing CDLs if they don't get their problems under control. Time will tell if the FMCSA actually goes that far, but it is a promising sign that they're at least loudly talking about serious consequences for the states that have let the CDL disaster get to this point.

While it is absolutely a good thing that DOT and other organizations are hitting hard on the fraudulent training and certification problem, the scale of the problem exceeds even my cynical expectations. A 40% conversion rate on investigations is crazy. The fraud, criminality and general rot in the CDL complex seems to run very, very deep indeed.

The law is written in a way where employers get legal protection if they just run the name through eVerify.

You have to have the worst legal department in the world, or none at all, to expose yourself to legal issues in hiring illegal immigrants, because the law, as written, gives tremendous presumption towards employers in the situation.

This one question isn't a question of enforcement. It's how the law is written. The law needs to change.

That just punishes the citizens of the state. I prefer that you apply asset takings to the specific politicians and managers of these programs at the state level that enabled it.

If you impoverish the individuals responsible, then it is a far stronger disincentive to ever doing the same again and future assholes wanting to do the same thing get dissuaded as well.

If one marijuana cigarette can cause a boat or car to be impounded and sold, then a pattern of approving fake and gay CDL schools that graduate illegals killing people means everything these civil servants and their political masters have should be up for taking.

Time to end qualified immunity for all but law enforcement in the midst of actively arresting criminals. Qualified immunity for desk jockeys, warrant applications, illegal CDL schools, refusal to give data on election fraud, etc. should all be eliminated.

Oh, and judges and prosecutors only get qualified immunity too and if they act beyond their legal powers, ultra vires as found by a jury, no immunity.

With endemic voter fraud in blue states or even blue cities in red states and 24/7 media gaslighting, I don't think we can confidently say who the citizens voted for.

Actual leftist loon percentage of American population is still right about about 20-25 percent, and it hasn't budged much, conservatives about 35-40 percent. The left relies on gimmedats to be competitive, the right relies on wishy washy Cornyn corporatists and gentler kinder Bush types.

If you take out the individuals responsible directly for the mess and take their wealth, homes, cars, investments, then you set an example to them that this is not what you need to be doing.

Punishing taxpayers at large is just fine for assholes to do and they do that constantly even in place like Kansas where the DOJ is suing to prevent secret transing of kids from their school system. Bankrupt the School Board members, the teachers and principals involved, they will find other hobbies.

Eliminating illegal immigration and things like voter ID are overwhelmingly supported by an electorate who doesn’t agree on very much. That informs you as to how much illegal voting and election fraud schemes are crucial to their victory. They simply can’t win without it.

No, prosecutors merely a change in statute. Same with qualified immunity. Those are common law rulings, not constitutional.

On judges, there is a constitutional separation of powers to be made perhaps, but states could easily amend state constitutions for removal of such protections of judges in their own states.

Federal judges, I would set up a rubber room like NYC used to do for teachers they could not fire. Already chief judges in a district have the power not to assign cases to a district judge (I think one in the Houston area was sexually harassing the staff and caused that to happen). But others were removed before impeachment due to being incarcerated--they were still paid until impeached but not able to hear cases.

There are (or were) somewhere between 16,000 and 31,000 (!) CDL training centers and schools in the USA. What could the CDL driver turnover possibly be to justify a CDL school for every 65 active drivers???

The statutory solution is that Congress has to take action.

SCOTUS has extremely limited authority over the lower courts. They can do things like remove individual jurists from types of cases, but that's about it.

Impeachment is the proper method, as the Judiciary Act is currently built, and Congress won't get 14 Democrats in the Senate to vote for conviction against any judge impeding Trump for any reason, not even Fetterman (who is a giant leftist and agrees with all the policy proposals of the Democrat Party).

I think we can confidently say that the votes are rigged and we have no idea what the true vote was. The sheriffs revolt is illustrative of that point. Eight percent of all the sheriffs in that state are locally elected, more of a direct representation, and they are going against the state on Flock cameras.

Not saying MA is conservative, saying that statewide vote tallies do not represent how those citizens actually voted.

Posted by: Tom Servo

Yes, I agree. But an easier way is to return to the appeals system where every decision by Scotus becomes binding automatically on lower courts. The resistance judges are relying on basically endless rehearing of cases by advocate lawfare groups. And the writ of cert system permits them to get away with a lot. If those were converted into appeals, even without an opinion as in affirmed or overruled, then a lot of the Resistance will collapse.

Second, Congress can and should require three judge panels to issue any injunction binding federal or state governments. Perhaps even requiring some of those judges be drawn from outside the district. There is and should be no guarantee about judge shopping to succeed.

From what little I've read on X, it seems that we have foreign trucking companies with foreign drivers, who are hired by large companies (e.g. Amazon, US govt) to complete deliveries because they are cheap.

It's similar to other industries (e.g., IT) that have moved from hiring their own workers to contracting it out to cheap foreign labor that they can use as needed.

Maybe a year or two ago while poking around some .gov sites, I came across line item listings of student loans. There is a ton of $3,500 or so loans to beauty schools and places like that. Probably one in ten or less was for 50k+. If I was going to start a scam, filling out paperwork for non existent cosmetology students seems a decent one.

The CDL schools might be vestiges of, run the scam 'til things get hot, shut down the school and open under a new name. Lather, rinse, repeat. Are all those schools currently operating?

He could have chose other cases to do that. But Jackson is a complete mouth breather when it comes to the law. This was an odd spot for Roberts to make a stand. I disagree with the chief often, but he usually has better formed arguments and is more a jurist who sides with precedent. His opinion would completely turn standing upside down and flood the courts with frivolous lawsuits based on imagined injuries. It doesn’t even get past first base on that issue.

By Halloween you could have a very interesting situation in Canada. PM Carney, a man with THREE passports, facing a separatist government in QC and a separatist referendum in AB - if the October 5 QC election goes as projected and the October 19 referendum for a referendum is approved.

I'm in favor of this, all the way up to the state and federal levels. If a judge releases a violent illegal alien criminal, the judge should be held liable for whatever offenses the criminal commits next. Civil suits should be allowed to proceed in order to impoverish the judge, and when the alien is sentenced for crimes committed the judge should be made to share the sentence in the same cell.

241 I think that dissent was horse-trading. The decision was 5-4 so it didn't matter whether Roberts was in the majority or not.

The SC is far more a political body than anyone ever intended. Just as Congress often sets up "fake" votes to give cover to certain legislators who's votes are irrelevant, the SC does too.

The "aesthetic injury" theory of standing is not new. Despite the fact that such injury isn't supposed to be enough, it sometimes is. The "Bladensburg Peace Cross" case was decided on the merits, despite the theory of injury being "I don't like looking at this cross." Only Gorsuch and Thomas would have dismissed for no standing.

Nope. It was the same Roberts who created it was a tax, not a mandate crap in the Obamacare case. Same Roberts that ignored the dictates of the original jurisdiction requirement to actually hear and rule on the election fraud case. Same as simply not showing up at Trump's second impeachment trial. He is a political justice and we have had several over the centuries. He just is not that good at it. I put him in the same category as Taney.

Marshall was a political justice as well but he had the advantage of actually being a politician and an administrator before becoming Chief Justice. He played the game far better than judges with little political experience like Roberts or Taney.

A good politician knows when to retreat and when to hold their ground. Neither Roberts or Taney understand that. So Roberts because he dislikes Trump got lured into making a second mistake destroying whatever crappy legacy he had as a judge--it is a tax, and now aesthetic injury. Add coward on elections, voila, no legacy.

It is odd, but one of the things I wish I had saved from my grandparent's house was one of the ash trays. Grandma was a lifelong smoker (until about 10 years or so before she died.) She had tons of these ornate and beautiful ash trays. One of them I remember was this large brass one. It was almost a platter with a raised, circular edge in which the zodiacal symbols were engraved. It had two little figures (kind of the size of chess pieces) that were supposed to be used to stamp out burning ash.

87 This is hilarious. I love classic still life paintings and this is a wonderful spoof of all the elements usually included. The dark background, the disparate items 'arranged' haphazardly, the realistic colors, the manual open and offering 'ancient wisdom', the burnt cigars 'denoting' the fleeting nature of life, and of course the partially eaten fruit all harken back to the classics of the genre.

I was a little disappointed it was a photo, not a painting. But it is art. Some of the best photos I ever took were arranged still life shots. They were also the most fun to set up.

Posted by: JTB at September 02, 2026 09:49 AM (yTvNw)

88 One half-eaten pear I can understand, the guy is working in the shop and grabbed a quick snack. But the other pears imply that this is where the guy keeps his pears, and that seems like a bad idea.

Or maybe he really likes pears, so when he has pears, he always eats a couple at one time. I'd be happy to hear what other readers have to say on this pear issue.

Once they discovered/invented glass lenses, that’s what happened, actually. Display an image on canvas, and then trace & fill it in. That’s how photographic realism began, I think. Or at least before actual film was invented.

-one of the larger, non zippo lighters engraved 'Maj E C Natal, 31 Aug 58' (I am assuming he got that one when he made Major, 1958.)

-another more zippo type engraved '44th AAA Brig. Officers Club'

Illinois uses a split system where private sector workers fall under federal OSHA, while state and local government workers are covered by an OSHA-approved state plan.

Illinois operated purely under federal OSHA until 2009, at which point this public-worker-only state plan was newly established. (The Illinois State Plan received initial approval on September 1, 2009.)

OSHA began needing search warrants on May 23, 1978, following the United States Supreme Court ruling in Marshall v. Barlow’s, Inc.

The Morning Report — 9/ 2 /26

RoomySparky.jpg

Well, there are a couple of bright spots in the news this morning, so let us take note. First,

A Utah Judge ruled Tuesday that Tyler Robinson will stand trial on all seven charges in the assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk, leaving him eligible for the death penalty if convicted of aggravated murder.

Again, while this is certainly welcome to hear neither you nor I were born yesterday, so before we give in to the temptation to engage in providing a simultaneous venturi effect on our nether regions. This fiend is a hero to the Democrat Left and given the utter corruption of our judiciary and moral bankruptcy of far too many of our fellow citizens-in-name-only I'd be shocked if there was an actual conviction let alone if this thing actually got a death sentence. Considering the mastermind of 9/11 has yet to be taken out and sent back to the infernal reaches from whence he and his non-religion religion came from, yeah it's all a non-starter.

Elsewhere it certainly looks as if the gloom-and-doomers attacking the President about the economy might want to chew on this.

On Tuesday, new data from the Department of Labor’s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey showed that manufacturing job openings rose to 580,000 in July, up from 501,000 in June. This constitutes the highest level since January 2023. In contrast, the manufacturing sector posted 428,000 openings this time last year. Durable goods manufacturers saw a particularly sharp increase, with vacancies climbing to 429,000 from 353,000 the previous month, and 255,000 from the previous year. The follows data released by the Department of Commerce showing a 1.1 percent rise in durable goods orders, twice what was expected. While hiring in manufacturing fell to 288,000 in July from 330,000 last month, this comes amid a broader trend of declining hires. According to recent data, total job openings across all sectors increased to 7.3 million, while hiring declined to 5.05 million. It was also revealed that layoffs across the economy dropped to 1.666 million, one of the lowest levels on record, while the rate of unemployment remains historically low at 4.1 percent. This demonstrates the ongoing growth of the U.S. manufacturing sector, which has been a core focus of the Trump administration’s economic policy. This follows a report showing that U.S. manufacturing has reached a four-year high in July. The same report showed that employment in the sector had risen to a three-year high. Specifically, the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) reached 55.6 in July, an increase from 53.3 in June.

Psaki-Psircling back to 9/11 for a moment and hopefully not to kill the buzz I've tried to engender, there's this piece of shit and his madness to contend with.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has defended far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who previously said “America deserved 9/11,” and endorsed him as “our streamer,” just days before the 25th anniversary of the attacks, which left thousands of Americans dead across New York City, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. . . The controversy has underscored the growing divisions and tensions within the Democrats over socialism and Israel. It also shows how Piker has become politically toxic to much of the Democrats. This controversy comes amid a broader shift to the left among Democrats, with one in three Democrat-aligned voters self-describing as Democratic Socialists.

Disgusting as he and what he represents are, that they seem to be lacking in popularity, despite their growing presence on the electoral scene I'll take as a positive development, even as the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bernie Sanders-es remain in prominence.

Other than that, the battle over AI continues. Like it or not, it's here and here to stay so we better get a handle on it before it gets a handle on us,

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said during a Breitbart News Fight Club Roundtable on Monday evening that he believes China is helping fund opposition to artificial intelligence data centers, while arguing that the country should consider the effects on the electrical grid and water resources without putting itself at a disadvantage in the competition over AI.  “Now, at the same time, I think we need to be responsible. We need to look at the demands on the electrical grid. I think demands on water resources are way overstated, but overstated because China is funding the propaganda against these things,” he continued.

Like any other technology or advancement that has come about since Ogg the caveman discovered fire and Cocoa Krispies, it can and will be used for good and ill. The same as with AI. And the short term good, which is very good IMHO, jobs in construction as well as the parallel increase in employment of businesses and industries that service and feed into this new infrastructure are for sure a potential Golden Goose as President Trump has described it. And the evil that can and would be unleashed on us if we let the Chi-Coms win the race to dominate AI is guaranteed. FOr that reason alone we simply cannot allow that to happen.

Have a good day.

18 The "economic" news is a fluff as the CoC crowd demanded that every output number must always increase, no matter what. With proper immigration controls, we should see some variation in data...and the effects of changes in labor (or lack thereof).

Also, on the dust cover of We Were Soldiers, there's a picture of a platoon leader in action. That's Ric.

39 NYPost:

When the US Treasury Department sanctioned the transnational organization Masar Badil last week, Washington took a much-needed step toward thwarting terrorist activity and recruitment here in the homeland.

Those affiliates, associated with college campuses in Minnesota, Oregon and Washington state, have been vocal advocates for armed resistance against “colonialism” — and in recent months their calls for “resistance” have escalated into violence and intimidation.

One of the most active is Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return at the University of Washington, which until recently was a formally registered student organization.

Masar Badil itself has listed SUPER-UW among its “frameworks and militant networks,” and the student group’s evolution over the past three years reveals just how deep a foothold the network has gained inside the US.

It's now being made by the orange menace and that's a big reason they hate him. Big change is happening but too often the trees get lost in the forest.

55 Sean Duffy commended EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin for targeting his “pet peeve” — an auto feature intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “You know the on-off, the stop-start button on your car? I hate that thing,” Duffy told the crowd at an event in Detroit. “Thank you, Lee Zeldin. He’s gotten rid of it, and the first cars without the start-stop button are rolling off the line.” In February, the EPA announced it would axe federal incentives for vehicle manufacturers that include the feature in their models.

College cheerleaders reflect the original version of cheerleading when they were actual athletes. Watch some of the cheerleading competitions, they are essentially gymnasts.

NFL cheerleaders are more like a Vegas testosterone show. The Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders posters sat right next to Farah Fawcett posters on the walls of many high school boys back in the day. Or were. Kind of a big difference.

86 Fast food is a zombie industry.

It depended on price, speed, and predictability. People knew what they were going to order, what they would get and how much they would pay before arriving at the restaurant.

There is no longer a price or speed advantage and considering all the changes in menu and recipe, you never know what you're going to get.

Hence, "might as well go someplace else."

No vehicle manufacturer was ordered to put that absolutely terrible feature in—they did it semi-voluntarily.

Some luxury brands have an override switch that is part of the starting the car ritual to turn off (default is on). On the toobs there are many videos of hacks to disable that garbage.

All the manufacturer has to do is add the "default off" attribute to the Auto Stop/Start on their next OTA firmware updates. Chances are very high they won't do it.

Much of the problem is that the Big Four (mostly Tyson) threaten grocery chains with supply disruptions or far less "favorable" treatment if the chains look to alternate sources for meat—such as local independents.

I think it is hilarious that the Big Four are whining about the imported ground beef tariff reduction because two of the beef processing operations are Brazilian owned.

"The researchers had been excavating Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre, a fourth century Roman Church that was built over a holy site where many Christians believe Christ was crucified, buried and then resurrected on Easter Sunday."

How surprising! It's always in the last place you look.

Not explicitly stated: Jesus' body was not found in the tomb.

Talk to oldsters who were thrilled with their annual orange. It wasn't a "shortage" it was understood to be "seasonal", and only when the Florida or California crop was matured.

Then there is this thing called "Canning" where for centuries people took in their seasonal harvest and stored it until needed.

Take apples (one of the easiest crops to source):
Sep-Nov: Fresh US harvest
Dec-Feb: US stored apples
Mar-May: US stored plus Chile/New Zealand imports
Jun-Aug: Imports plus late season US storage
Aug-Sep: New US harvest begins

Citrus is Florida/California → Southern Hemisphere imports

You're surprised a muslim is pushing freakish gender propaganda that ensures the infidel kids will be incapable of forming healthy heterosexual sexual relationships that will lead to a stable marriage and family? Instead they will pursue homosexual/lesbian relationships, or even sterilize themselves, ensuring the continued slow-roll death of the Western world.

305 "What's interesting is that, because the Left expresses itself in terms of "freeing" people's sexuality, many people miss the fact that it is every bit as sexually controlling in its own way as Islam is. This control comes about because the Left works assiduously to decouple sex from a person's own sense of bodily privacy and, by extension, self-ownership. If a person has no sense of autonomy, that person is a ready-made cog for the statist machinery.
The practical problem for the Left when it tries to attack individuality as expressed through sexuality is the fact that a person's sense of an inviolate physical self develops quite early, during childhood:

Once a child individuates, he becomes aware of being his own self. ... The most basic thing one can own is one's own self, and not letting others touch that self in ways you don't like is an exercise in self-ownership. . ."

314 'Morning, all. Thank you, J.J.

Was remembering some of the controversies about the O & Joe administration regarding the Muslim Brotherhood & that ratcheted up after the Arab Spring & election of Muslim Mohamed Morsi as President of Egypt in 2012.

"Siding with Islamist groups." Ongoing debates within the party about balancing the promotion of democratic elections abroad (which might bring Islamist groups to power) with maintaining traditional strategic alliances.

Allegations the Muslim Brotherhood had successfully infiltrated the U.S. government. Hillary Clinton's aide (Now a Soros wife.) accused of having familial ties to the organization. The Democrats were branded as "weak on national security" and naïve about Islamist extremism which they had to vigorously defend in the 2010 and 2014 mid-terms.

And so it was reported with lines between the Muslim Brotherhood and general Islamic organizations blurred, the Democrat Party moved to defend civil liberties and build stronger political coalitions with Muslim-American communities, positioning itself as a defender against Islamophobia.

Baby steps.

Good day. 🤗

11 So, I am still reading Charles Portis' " True Grit". I read it about 30 years ago, but didn't recall all the details beyond the basic story: Here is a line from it Mattie, the fourteen year old girl trying to avenge her father who had been murdered . Mattie is recovering from a cold and has just met LeBoeuf. another character in the story. This is what she says:

"I realized I had made a mistake by opening up to this stranger. I would have been more on my guard had he been ugly instead of nice- looking. Also my mind was soft from being duped by the bile activator."

Last night we watched the first half of Since You Went Away, a tale of a wife and her two teen daughters who have to function at home after her husband enlists in WWII. Claudette Colbert, Jennifer Jones, and Shirley Temple (about age 14-15), with Joseph Cotten, Hattie McDaniel, and other names of those days make for a good cast. It's a long film, about three hours with an overture and an intermission, but not dull.

That triggers a memory. There was a bar with that exact style of "decoration" here in town in the '80s, when I'd go to bars now and then with friends. Not one of the Bennigan's places, of course, and not the one with all the unusual beers for those days. Darned if I can think of the name.

60 from the Commodore article:

How the Commodore 64 affected me, personally

... Jack Tramiel, the CEO of Commodore when the C-64 launched, loved hearing those kinds of stories. A Gen Xer would walk up to him, talk about how growing up with a C-64 led to a career in technology, and then Tramiel would always say something like, “And you look very successful, I’m thrilled to hear it!”

I'm wrestling with the idea of going to work out this morning. As you can expect, my usual laziness is winning. If I want to get in four workouts this week, I need to get in one on Friday and one more before that.

Tomorrow I take the Buick for its six-month oil change and other errands, so I'll be busy. Guess I could go to the nearby mall and walk in the A/C this morning at 10.

68 Why is there such an increase in the number of cops misusing the Flock cameras? Is it because they are easier to use than previous instruments of the surveillance state, or provide more information, or do it faster?

And are we seeing these stories because there is getting to be a reaction against our being surveilled 24/7? It's about time; that should have happened when the first cameras went up, not all this time later.

93 The alleged Chinese spy who seduced ex-Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell met him through a nonprofit accused of Chinese Communist Party ties — which is still placing interns with politicians across the US.

Fang “Christine” Fang worked her way up to president of a chapter of The Asian Pacific American Public Affairs (APAPA) group, which she used to help get interns into other political offices in California, one of the group’s stated missions.

Now-disgraced Swalwell told the FBI he considered glamorous graduate student Fang, whom he first met in 2012 before he took office, as his main point of contact with APAPA, according to declassified FBI files.

Sorta. Texas passed a mandatory auto insurance fee to "reduce catalytic converter thefts". That money soon bought many cameras.
None of which were placed in areas where one might steal said devices.

Want to outsmart the ever-increasing number of AI cameras?

World’s Ugliest Hawaiian Shirt Was Designed to Make You Invisible to AI Surveillance Cameras

The aptly named Digital Camouflage may look like a hideous Hawaiian shirt, but its seemingly abstract pattern was created with a very specific purpose in mind – to prevent AI-powered CCTV cameras from recognizing the wearer as a person.

“AI systems are made of multiple layers and never learned what a human is – they learned what humans statistically look like in millions of training images,” Simon Weckert, the shirt’s creator, explained. “In the early layers it’s edges, contrasts and texture gradients; deeper in the network it’s part-like patterns: the head-and-shoulders silhouette, the proportions of limbs against a torso, the continuity of a body’s outline against the background. A ‘person’, for the machine, is a bundle of visual statistics – and that is exactly its weakness.”

The Digital Camouflage shirt was carefully designed to confuse AI systems, making it very hard for them to recognize the wearer as a human being. Ironically, the pattern was created using AI, through a process known as an “adversarial loop”.

Science news. Actually - spinning earth news. OK, not really news - something happened 2 years ago. Oh well - read about it anyway!

On 5 July 2024, Earth completed a rotation 1.66 milliseconds short of 86,400 seconds, the shortest day measured in the atomic-clock era, breaking the previous record set in June 2022

Here are two facts that seem to argue with each other. Over the long haul, Earth is slowing down. The pull of the Moon’s tides has been stretching our days out for hundreds of millions of years, adding about 2.3 milliseconds per century to the length of a day. And yet for the past several years the planet has been doing the opposite, spinning slightly faster, setting one shortest-day record after another. The current mark is 1.66 milliseconds short of a full 24 hours, clocked on 5 July 2024.

Both things are true at once. The slow tidal drag is still there in the background. Riding on top of it are shorter, faster wobbles, and lately those wobbles have been pushing in the speed-up direction. That’s the puzzle, and it’s stranger and matters more than a few thousandths of a second sounds.

But wait - there's more. Something is slowing the earth down. Can you guess what the wrinkle is?

While the core has been speeding the planet up, climate change has been working the other way. As polar ice melts in Greenland and Antarctica, water moves from the poles toward the equator, and that shift in mass slows the rotation.

But of course - that dang climate change again. Just meltin' ice and makin' the earth slosh around slowly.

The oddest part is that melting ice bought the world time. Agnew’s modeling suggested the reckoning would have arrived around 2026, but the ice-melt braking pushed it back. Without the effect of melting ice, Earth would need that negative leap second in 2026 instead of 2029, Agnew calculated. A problem created deep in the Earth is being partly held off by climate change at the surface.

Oh, the modeling was wrong? First time that's ever happened, right?!?

These idiots will never stop.

66 patterns: the head-and-shoulders silhouette, the proportions of limbs against a torso, the continuity of a body’s outline against the background.

Yes. Taught this way back before the rise of the machines.

The reason for a "boonie hat" in evasion (escaping an enemy when you're down behind enemy lines) is that it makes the head no longer look exactly like a head. Yes, just putting a floppy big brim on your head ever so slightly confuses the human recognition - in the dark, in camouflage, etc. - of "Hey, that's a person."

It's also a reason for the "mitznefet" the Israeli military issues. It's like a giant sleep cap (the sort certain types of women wear to WalMart) worn over the helmet. Because a helmet just screams "head here!" The mitznefet breaks it up into more of a blob and less of a head shape. (Some use the keffiyeh or shemagh to achieve the same effect.)

That little hiccup of earth speeding up looks to be over, and no negative leap second will loom by 2029. If it kept that up, we would've needed one. As it is, we've gone about 10 years without needed a regular positive leap second, and we won't need another one for a while.

They've decided to eliminate leap seconds by 2035, but haven't come up with the scheme to replace the current UTC definition yet.

166 I picked up a new recliner at the furniture store today. It came in a big box, some assembly will be required. The kid at the store had no trouble rolling the box downhill from the loading dock into the bed of my pickup with a furniture dolly.

Skipping over minor misadventures with a plastic tarp and scattered rain showers, I got it home. The box only weighs 120 lbs, so wrestling it out of the truck in a controlled fall was no problem.

What is a problem is that the box will not fit through any door in the house. I will have to open the box, bring the assorted pieces inside, then assemble them in place. It's now dark, my back hurts, and it looks like rain.

The box is now sitting on my covered patio, wrapped in a tarp, with dunnage under it. It was glaring at me through the glass patio door, so I had to shut the drapes.

178 >> I thought the Moon was affecting the Earth's rotational speed.

It is. Tidal torque. The earth's orbital angular momentum is being transferred to the Moon, throwing it in a higher orbit. Based on the lunar recession rate from lunar laser ranging, the tidal slowing should be 2.3 - 2.4 ms/century.

But, over the past few hundred years, that average rate is about 1.7 - 1.8 ms/cy. Most of that difference is isostatic rebound after the last glacial maximum.

There is a standard theory of No Bisexuals that goes like this: everyone likes a pretty girl. So, there are plenty of LUGs (lesbian until graduation) and closeted fathers out there. But guys are grody, and it takes the specific, biologically driven libido of a homosexual man or a heterosexual woman to want to be with a dude, so that's what all 'bisexuals' are.

The debate rages within the Alphabet Mafia itself, so I don't expect to resolve it here. I'm not even taking a position, just presenting the (plausible) argument.

Here's a timeanddate page on the earth rotational data:

https://t.ly/xEpED

Scroll down and they've got a graph going back to the early 1800s. You'll see the last little speed up was nothing much compared to the speed up around the 1870s. It was spinning about 3 ms faster then, but by 1900-1910 had slowed down about 4 ms slower.

The 2020 speed up was the first time the excess LOD has gone negative since the atomic clock era.

200 I think I saw a movie with Mark Ruffalo but I can't remember. I could pick him out of a line up as I do unfortunately know what he looks like. He's the one who looks bloated and goofy; like he was left too long underwater and started to macerate. Probably fails at dating or did. I know I would not go out with him even if he said he was famous and rich.

My husband, who does not limp and is a former long distance runner for 4 decades now has a torn tendon in his hip. Because getting older is not for the faint of heart, even for athletes. It hardly hurts but he had a MRI and wow we were not expecting this.

I guess ortho surgery may be in his future and have already chosen the doc to call tomorrow. We have lots of stairs. I have even planned where to put a bed in the family room as I don't mess around and go to the worst possible scenario for everything.

He's only had minor surgery before on a thumb he cut a tendon.

We will find out soonish about something we did not see on the horizon. Hopefully with a scope if needed. It's a complete tear so I doubt he will escape surgery.

207 >> information about the Earth's rotation going back to the 17th century."

Yep, there is usable data back to the early 1600s. Not as precise as the 19th century, but still somewhat usable, although you have to be aware of the large error bars.

I'm too lazy to dig that up, IERS used to have it own their web site buried somewhere. But anyway, it shows a curious rotational speed up right before the Maunder Minimum, and the Little Ice Age kicked it. Very interesting correlations. But again, the error bars are large there.

The actual number of unarmed Black people killed by cops that year, per the Washington Post? Twelve.

Next Number

In 2022 and 2023, the United States had over 1.5 million more excess deaths compared to other high-income countries, findings that the researchers say reflect a "protracted health crisis" in the country.

No, Blacks did not kill 1.5 million after Michael Brown, it was more like 20,000.

236 >> Packing ice at the poles and draining water from the equator could do a little ice skater’s pirouette on the Earth.

That is very fascinating, and it turns out it works just the opposite of how you would naively think it should. You would think moving water mass from the equator to ice at the poles would lower the moment of inertia and speed the earth up, and when the ice sheets melt, it should slow the earth down.

And it does behave that way over the short term. But over the long term, you have isostatic adjustment, and the result in an icehouse earth with large ice sheets becomes more oblate than a "hothouse" earth with no ice sheets.

So ice age earth is a slower earth.

290 >> Hasn't the Earth suffered two massive impacts? One of which birthed the Moon?

With the Moon birthing impact, the Giant Impact Hypothesis, a Mars sized body hit what you call "proto-earth". So, the current earth-moon system was the product of that. Proto-earth was about 90% the mass of earth now.

There have been about 200 "big impacts" confirmed, with crater structures found. Of these the three Big Ones, are one in South Africa, crater about 150 miles wide, maybe 180, dating to 2 billion years ago.

Then one in Canada about 150 miles dated to 1.8 billion, and then the Dino killer, 66 million years ago, about 110 miles wide.

I will never forget the first time I saw them in person. Lake Michigan, looking north after driving from Traverse City Airport. Got to the Traverse Point Lighthouse Park, got out and hiked up to the point. Couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had to pull the car over later, get out and test the water to make sure it was actually fresh. Damn me if it wasn't. I still couldn't believe it. Years later I sailed on them a bit - those lakes could throw up some serious waves and weather. Not anything to be trifled with. But boldly beautiful.

I am willing to believe that there is a real place named Tortilla Flats, because tortillas, in their natural state, are flat.

The possibility of building an entire city of Uranium, however, raises certain obvious questions.

It is a real place. They mined uranium there, in the 1950's mostly. Veins of pitchblende in granite rock. Mostly a ghost town now. I was there, circa 1980. On the north shore of Lake Athabaska, which is a very big lake.

Went shopping. Bought some frozen things in addition. As usual, got behind someone in the checkout line who had problems.

31 A Thai resort city is cracking down on prostitution ahead of the arrival of a San Diego-based US Navy aircraft carrier carrying about 5,000 sailors and Marines after more than 200 consecutive days at sea.

The USS Abraham Lincoln is due to dock Wednesday near Pattaya — one of Thailand’s best-known nightlife destinations — along with two accompanying Navy vessels.

Police have stepped up patrols around the city’s beachfront and nightlife areas ahead of the visit. Raids over the weekend detained roughly 40 to 50 people on suspicion of prostitution, according to The Independent.

“We are doing our best, but it is difficult,” Pattaya police chief Anek Srathongyoo said Monday, noting that sex workers could solicit people in public without authorities knowing.

Prostitution is illegal in Thailand, although the sex trade remains highly visible in tourist destinations including Pattaya and parts of Bangkok.

89 U-175 was a Type IXc U-boat that complete three war patrols and sank 10 ships totaling 40,619 GRT.

It was attacked three times by aircraft. Once by USAAF B-18s that caused no damage. Off Sierra Leone, an RAF Catalina dropped depth charges and caused minor damage. Off Dakar another RAF Catalina blasted the boat with six depth charges causing extensive damage including an oil leak.

Sub's luck ran out on 17 April 1943 off southwest Ireland when the US Coast Guard cutter Spencer sank the boat with depth charges and gunfire. 13 were killed and 41 became POWs.

_- Some legal scholars have argued that the technology violates the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, specifically in how personal data is stored in the company’s databases so it can be accessed by a growing network of law enforcement agencies contracting with Flock.

Drugmakers including Alcon, Astellas Pharma, BeOne Medicines, BridgeBio, CSL, Kyowa Kirin, Sun Pharma, Teva Pharmaceuticals, and UCB have agreed to the voluntary deals and will lower prices for life-saving medicines used to treat seizures, bacterial infections, high blood pressure, organ failure, and rare diseases.

The new agreements align with the most-favored-nation drug pricing framework to bring down U.S. drug prices in line with other developed countries. In exchange, the companies would secure tariff relief.

“Under that most-favored-nation agreement, we now pay the lowest price paid by other countries anywhere in the world,”

My mind is boggling now. Right now, Nancy Grace has started the "coronagraph decontamination" phase. Here's the big problem. When something gets into space and in hard vacuum, there's a hell of a lot of volatile outgassing. Water vapor and a host of other little molecules from everything start getting released. Some of that stuff would stick and freeze to the surface of all the optics.

So they've got to carefully manage that to prevent that, otherwise all those billion dollar instruments would be ruined.

So what they're doing now is using heaters, carefully designed and controlled to keep those sensitive surfaces warm, while allowing all the other components to outgas. When they're through, they move on to the next phases of set up.

203 >> Why isn’t it Nancy Grace Roman? So we don’t keep thinking of the true crime TV reporter.

It is, and you can just call it the Roman telescope if you like. The astronomer, Nancy Grace Roman, went by "Nancy Grace" as her first name.

Once they're through with that outgassing thing, in about 10 days they'll begin the chilldown. Since they thing sees in infrared, it has to be cooled way down. Otherwise it would be radiating at the very wavelengths it wants to look at. Think if a regular telescope was glowing white hot itself. You wouldn't be able to see much for your own emissions.

They've got to get the detectors cooled down to about -300F, and the mirror itself not much warmer than that. And they do it all passively.

206 Any competent shooter will know if they fired a blank.

But knowing there is at least one blank will make it easier to lie to yourself, if you want to. I agree with the earlier commenter: auction off spots on the squad to willing shooters.

Hot and humid for a big chunk of the year. In the middle of nowhere. Fine for the Army, not so good for living there.

I’ll have you know I spent three of the best months of my life there!
