Muslim Man Shouts Alluha Akbar as He Stabs Three Citiznes In Switzerland; a Leftist SWATs Amy Coney Barrett to Get Cops to Kill Her; a Man Threatens to Kill Erika Kirk and Blow Up Every TPUSA Event
Robby Starbuck
@robbystarbuck 4h Someone tried to get Amy Coney Barrett, her kids and husband killed last night. That's what swatting really is: Attempted murder. Cops come in guns blazing expecting a shootout. People who initiate these should go to prison for life. Thankfully, the cops talked with her security first and prevented a potential tragedy. The left has embraced evil.

@EricLDaugh 3h 🚨 HOLY CRAP! A leftist just tried to get Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and her family KILLED by SWATTING her, reporting "gunshots" at her house last night Barrett notably signed onto the ruling against racial gerrymandering, which harms Dems. Swatting = ATTEMPTED M*RDER In 911 audio, they said: "Units responding to suspicious noise...unknown if it's going to be a swatting situation." Whoever made the call committed an act of terrorism. Lock them up.
Police responded to a call for the sound of gunshots at the home of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett last night, but quickly realized it was a swatting call and cleared after meeting with her security detail.

A man has been arrested after three people were injured in a stabbing attack at a train station in Switzerland. Police said the three victims - Swiss nationals aged 28, 43 and 52 - were hospitalised after the attack at Winterthur train station. The suspect, a 31-year-old Swiss man, used a bladed weapon, they said, adding that the motive was under investigation.Swiss man? Others say he's a Turk.
Switzerland's President Guy Parmelin said on social media he was "shocked by the terrorist attack this morning in Winterthur". "This deeply affects me," he added. Mario Fehr, Canton Zurich's security director, said it was "clear from the scene that the motive for this act must be sought in the realm of radicalisation and extremism". Marius Weyermann, commander of the Zurich cantonal police, said at a news conference with Fehr that the suspect lived in the area and had come to authorities' attention in 2015 for distributing Islamic State (IS) group propaganda.No big deal. At least he doesn't vote for right-wing politicians.
He said that on Monday, the suspect was sent to a psychiatric hospital after he had presented himself at a police station, where he made "incoherent statements". The next day he left the hospital. Officers took him back, and on Wednesday doctors certified that he no longer posed a danger to himself or others, he added.The terrorist-aligned Associated Press forgot to mention this "Swiss man" shouted the name of his murder-god as he butchered people. Whoops! Whoopsie! Either a member of the far left, or a member of Candace Owens' cult. Which would also be a member of the far left:

Formerly Beloved British Series "Doctor Who" Is Now So Toxically Woke and Unpopular That No Actors Are Willing to Step Into the Role
Formerly Beloved British Car Brand Jaguar Loses 99.4% Of Its Profit Year-Over-Year
Who can say why. It's all a mystery.
The role has been cursed by wokeness, and now no actors want to play Doctor Who, because they don't want to be associated with the "baggage" of the previous seasons of woke poison. Although the show is currently on a long unplanned hiatus, the BBC had planned a "Christmas" special-- which became a New Years Special during its woke years because the show didn't want to acknowledge Christmas*. But even the "Christmas" special is in doubt because they just can't find an actor to play Doctor Who. This is probably due to the fact that they are determined to do more woke gender- and race-bending stunt casting but the potential DEI Doctors don't want to jump into this garbage swamp at any price. Everything woke turns to shit:The ungrateful gay immigrant flounced when he was asked to be a jury panelist for their boradcast of Eurovision. The rumor that went around was that she refused because Israel was a contestant. The "official" reasons for the sudden withdraw all seem like bullshit -- too tired! his schedule is so hectic! -- and they keep changing. Soon after he was announced to no longer be Doctor Who. Which suggests the BBC was sick of him after his horrible ratings. People with horrible ratings don't get to act like entitled divas for long.
The Doctor Who Christmas special could be exterminated as the BBC is allegedly unable to find a new lead star. The show is in a state of flux after ending its latest series in May 2025 with the sudden departure of Ncuti Gatwa as the Time Lord.
Have they?
Former companion Billie Piper appeared to replace Gatwa as the show's new Doctor, when the character underwent a regeneration at the end of the episode. Piper's inclusion was a "very last-minute" decision, according to the star, and came after a sharp decline in viewership ratings. The BBC opted to put the show on hiatus for the remainder of 2025, meaning there was no festive special, but showrunner Russell T Davies wrote an episode, starring Piper, that was due to be released this December.
However, it's been reported that the special might be scrapped as bosses are struggling to find anyone to take on the permanent role of the 16th Doctor, as Piper's appearance will be for one episode only. Instead, the BBC would forge ahead with a new series airing Easter 2027. "With less than seven months to go, [the special] looks like it's hanging in the balance," a source told The Sun. "The problem is that they have found it difficult to find anyone who'll take on the part of the 16th Time Lord, partly because it now feels like a role that comes with all the baggage of the most recent series.
The source added: "There are fears that even if they do manage to pull something together, it is going to be a poor cousin to previous Christmas specials which have always been adored by fans." The BBC declined to comment.
... "Rest assured, Doctor Who is going nowhere," Phillips said at the Edinburgh TV Festival, with Lindsay Salt, the BBC's director of drama, saying they were "committed" to bringing the show back.What an unfortunate and revealing way to phrase that.
LOL. It's like she's subconsciously trying to admit the truth.
Phillips addressed a potential end to the BBC's "great" production partnership with Disney+, adding: "Going forward, with or without Disney, Doctor Who will still be on the BBC. The Tardis is going nowhere."
Gatwa, 32, said he left the programme because "it's a role that demands a lot of you, physically and emotionally and mentally".And Judaically. Speaking of woke disasters: Remember Jaguar's aggressive repositioning from a car for wealthy men looking for a little speed and style to a transgender toaster for mentally-ill folx on welfare? Their profits dropped, and this is not a joke, 99.4%. The Guardian claims it's all due to Trump's tariffs (which are now a very reasonable 10%), a cyberattack, and generally poor conditions in the auto industry. It has nothing to do with deciding that rich men were no longer the target clientele but rather transgender mutants living in public housing.
Jaguar Land Rover annual profit falls 99% after US tariffs and cyber-attack take toll Britain's largest carmaker says sales also hit by competition in China as it publishes financial results by Jasper Jolly Jaguar Land Rover's annual profits have slumped by more than 99% as it counted the cost of US tariffs and a cyber-attack that disrupted its factories for months. Britain's largest carmaker made only 14m pounds in profit before tax and exceptional items in the year to March, down from 2.5bn pounds the year before, according to financial results published on Thursday. The manufacturer, which employs 33,000 people in the UK, suffered a series of blows as Donald Trump's automotive industry tariffs caused turmoil in its important export market. That was followed by a damaging cyber-attack on the last day of August that forced the company to shut down most of its systems and factories for weeks, with disruption rippling on through the autumn. The tariffs, which Trump raised to 25% before agreeing a deal for 10% for the UK, hit US demand for JLR's luxury cars, before supply of products was halted by the attack. As a result, revenues fell to 22.9bn pounds, down by more than a fifth compared with the previous 12 months.Did anything happen to the brand that might have caused demand to fall, I wonder?
JLR also said sales were hit by competition in China, where a huge number of carmakers are introducing new products. JLR was not alone in struggling with tough conditions within the automotive industry. The Japanese manufacturer Honda on Thursday reported its first annual loss in 70 years as a listed company.Uh-huh. Your anus is very resilient but there's just so much pounding it can take. No mention of this:
Honda was forced to write off 1.6tn yen (7.4bn pounds) in investments in electric cars after Trump removed subsidies for battery vehicles, pushing it to a loss of 423bn yen. PB Balaji, who took over as chief executive of JLR only a few weeks after the hack, said: "JLR faced a challenging year with revenue and profit affected by multiple headwinds, including a pause in production following the cyber incident." However, he said the company "ended well" and had "come back resiliently".
Jaguar's 'Copy Nothing' advert was unfiltered pure woke slop. https://t.co/5QdSFgoccb pic.twitter.com/SqMJmAOWMv

The catastrophic drop in profits has nothing to do with Trump's tariffs, as other Euro luxury car companies made piles of money despite the tariffs. Lambo had a record year despite the tariffs. So the Guardian is full of shit.
But ... I wish it were true! Jag is a foreign company owned 100% by Indians (Tata). Who gives a shit about the profits of Indian companies who are trying to fuck us in the ass with cheap labor and punitive tariffs on our products? Fuck them.

The culture is suffused with people who think that audiences who complain about woke casting are backwards hicks with no power because they haven't managed to change anything at the BBC ever.
And, you have young actors who would be looking at regular paychecks for years just taking on the role which could lead to Matt Smith/David Tennant levels of stardom.
They can't find someone in that world to take on the role because of internet trolls against the last two Doctors?
That's...fascinating.

Ace, as I read the reports, it's not Jaguar that lost 99% of its profits, but the entire JLR company. JLR is Jaguar and Land Rover.
Jaguar is a total basket-case with no cars whatsoever to sell. But Land Rover is not in the same boat. Land Rover sells several popular SUVs.
For the entire JLR company to take a yuge shit is much bigger news.

The date gets their early and while waiting at her door hears the fire alarm. He knows where her spare key is so goes in right as she comes running straight out of the shower to get the food out of the oven.

There is something about authenticity.
It's why Crockett inspired such loyalty in the Texas black electorate. She seems authentic (though we all know it's an act because of those younger videos of her).

A gay you could share a foxyhole with.
Disagree. He was a good character, played by a good actor but the gayness was an obvious afterthought added on for PC-ness. The episodes where he was just Jack Harkness were good; the ones where he was Gay Jack Harkness were cringe.

The problem with tap water for fine culinary use like coffee is that most municipalities don't bother making the water potable by filtration, but by dumping a shitload of cheap chlorine into the water plant. It makes the water safe, but you can taste and smell the chlorine right out of the faucet, and it generally doesn't react well with food and especially with coffee.

I hope his happens forever. Because it results in a lot of women in bars looking to meet a Mr Winkie who can stay stiff for more than five minutes. There is an endless supply of these women who tell their husbands they’re on a business trip. Meanwhile they’re with me taking various trips through the Kama Sutra and expounding, after riding me like a rodeo bull, how their husbands, who they don’t realize they turned into obedient wimps, would never ride them like a birthday pony, and then turn them over for another round of doggie style.
Keep them wimpy, AWFL’s, and I’ll keep you filled like a guy in the Dunkin’ Donuts factory.

I didn't hate it. But it's very mediocre.
Probably be better if Nicholas Cage was 20-30 years younger. The stunt Spider dude is clearly not him.
And like all streaming series it has a very leisurely pace so everyone at home watching their phones can keep up if they glance at "Spider Noir" every 10-15 minutes.
Eh, see it or don't. It's better than "The Boys" if that helps.

I've often thought the 'best' thing we could do for Hollywood, the BBC, CBC, etc is to start a website movement.
1. We're going to refuse to watch any shows with any woke crap.
2. We won't watch new movies or shows until they are fully complete to avoid the habit of inserting woke late. When a show is done and completely free of woke, it's on the watchlist.

Maybe Brits found that scary but as an American, sort of, I'd already met too many Nguyens.
Although I'm told Brits find jarring when American books float "Kevin" as a main character name. It's considered plebian over there.

We walked from the hotel for about a mile on empty streets at about 1am to see the falls at night. This was six years ago. I assume if I did that now, we would likely experience the stabby version of cultural enrichment. Damn.

Hollywood needs to fire a lot of people and start over. The L.A./London bubble prevents any of them from doing anything anti-woke, because their jobs depend on it.
There are so many creative associations and unions with so many woke rules embedded in the system, nothing short of bankruptcy will wake these people up to reality at this point.
Take Nolan’s Odyssey movie for instance.

Fidel Castro's Daughter Doesn't Deny That Blackface-Wearing Gay Canadian Justin Trudeau Might Be Her Bastard Half-Brother
He looks like Castro, and he's a stone-cold authoritarian communist bitch. Almost as if he was trying to impress the man he knew to be his father.
His mother was said to be enamored of Fidel Castro and would visit the country a lot. Whether her cuck husband Pierre Trudeau approved or objected impotently, we don't know. Apparently this rumor has been "debunked." Allegedly Trudeau's mother did not meet Fidel Castro until 1976 -- allegedly -- and Castreau was born in 1971. So this could just be a bunch of hooey. But Castro's own daughter seems to accept the possibility of the "conspiracy theory" being true.Alina Fernandez, the exiled daughter of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, was pressed on Tuesday night over claims that former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau is her "half brother," and did little to put the long-running conspiracy theory to rest. The claim, mentioned by President Donald Trump in his 2024 Save America book and pushed by online believers, alleges that Castro is Trudeau's real father, not Pierre Trudeau. ... "For years we've heard rumors that Justin Trudeau, the former prime minister of Canada , could be your half brother. What do you think about it?" she said. Fernandez smiled and apparently unwilling to give up any family lore, she replied: "The only thing I can say is that his mother used to visit the country very often." "Well that may be a tell then," the host followed. "I guess that's a half answer." "Yes," her guest responded. "Do you plan to call him and maybe find out?" Pavlich pressed. "No, no," Fernandez said. "If he wants he's welcome but I won't, I won't. I think he keeps that to himself and you have to respect that."
Fidel Castro’s daughter Alina Fernández addresses the rumors that Justin Trudeau is her half brother.

There's only one way to be sure.

Probably. You could argue nature vs. nurture.
People are willing to / have to accept that physical characteristics are significantly affected by genetic factors then one would have to open to mental attributes are significantly affected too.
That "communist" is a crude broad category is what it is despite a broad group of factors lumped in there.
A big factor might be simply "independence". Those who like to be left alone are highly unlikely to want to be "in charge". This is w/o getting into aptitude.

========
We've actually had a handful of these agreements for years. They've been on the books, but largely unused, for a while.
The noteworthy thing is the growth of the practice, Trump's administration negotiating it with more countries to help expedite deportations.
And it's not that the individual doesn't want to go back to their home country. Outside of legit asylum claims, they have to go back to their home countries unless their home countries don't want them. Usually criminals with criminal histories.
So, the Honduran illegal murderer that Honduras doesn't want to take back gets sent to Djibouti. Where there is no serious Latin population, his non-existent French does him no good, and he probably ends up dead in a ditch because he tries to rape someone three days after arriving.

Did y'all see Rubio announced we have deportation agreements with 20 countries? So if you're an illegal from El Salvador, you have the choice to go back home, or get deported by the US to Haiti or some other crap-hole. Given that choice, many will elect to go home.

Re the timing.
Margaret and Pierre got married in March 1971, so I doubt she immediately made a secret trip to Cuba to have sex with Fidel.
I read her autobiography, "Beyond Reason," as one of my informal anthropology projects. She wrote the book decades ago and she described her admiration for Castro and her excitement at meeting him for the first time with gushy frankness. Or frank gushiness.
She also talked about her true love -- some guy named Yves, I think -- and chasing around the world looking for him when her marriage foundered (he had died). I don't think she did Castro.

1) we are guys, it is kind of how we insult each other on a lizard brain level.
2) this guy, if he wasn't gay, did not care or decided not to do anything about his wife fucking a bunch of other dudes.
Given those two options, I'd say gay is a bit more honorable.

Oh, that's just a guy thing. There's a YouTube short where a street interviewer asks a guy if he's straight or gay, shows the guy a photo of another guy and asks if he looks straight or gay, then asks if he thinks he himself looks straight or gay. Then he takes interviewee #1's photo to the next guy and asks the same questions, then takes interviewee #2's photo to the next guy and asks the same questions, and so on.
Every single guy says that he's straight and that the other guy looks gay. (My favorite, for reasons, was the guy who answered that he was "Um.. straight." Probably just caught of guard! Confused, like "What, you can't tell?") Only a few had enough self-awareness to anticipate that *another* guy looking at *him* might not think he looks straight.

They feel guilty for not being born poor, so they set about annoying the poor by trying to “help” the poor.
Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Fidel et al., got lots of good press in the West early on in their careers. Why, they will surely become more Democratic with time.
There’s this really bizarre blind spot about dictators. Yeah, so it’s a complete failure, millions murdered by psychopathic bastards, but it just needs a little more fine-tuning and Utopia Here We Come!
Hemingway supposedly hung around Che and the firing squads liquidating the boogie capitalists in Cuba. He liked to watch. That’s a real POS right there, if true. He did suck start a shotgun later on in his career, so he gets props for that I guess.

People get frustrated that diplomacy is even happening, but remove the language of diplomacy from the situation and look at it all again.

Gavin Newsom: The State Will Tax the Enemies of the Democrat Party at a 100% Rate to Save Democracy
Seizing the estates of political enemies. Sounds very democracy-savey.
He says they will change California law to seize 100% of recompense paid to Californians from the weaponization fund for Biden Regime abuses. Well, I'll tell you, I've been sick of liberal state governments paying out jackpot awards to Antifa and BLM "protesters" who beat cops and get arrested in return. The Democrat Party is using taxpayer funds to pay its terrorist street militias to beat up cops and menace citizens. So it's time for the federal government to impose a 100% tax on payouts to "protesters," especially those of Antifa, BLM, the John Brown Rifle Club, etc. Tit for tat.

The🐰FOOFrom Comrade Arthur. At least California will put the estates it seizes from political enemies of The Party to good and prudent use.
@PolitiBunny This feels like Democrats punishing citizens because they’re mad at Trump. How does something like this improve the lives of Californians?
California Teaches Native Americans How to Light a FireAs Luke Skywalker said: "NOOOO! That can't be! That's IMPOSSIBLE!"
The state has approved funding for "food sovereignty," owl counting, and "cultural burns." California Governor Gavin Newsom has allocated millions of dollars to a program that funds Native American "food sovereignty," owl counting, and "cultural burns," in which tribal groups use traditional fire techniques to clear brush from the landscape and preserve their "close kinship" with plants, animals, and "other natural relatives." Since 2023, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CAL FIRE, has awarded $24 million to tribal groups and other nonprofits as part of its "Tribal Wildfire Resilience" program. The man effectively overseeing the program, Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot, believes that California was founded on a "state-sanctioned policy of genocide" and that the state has pursued "decades of land dispossession, discrimination, and disconnection." The Newsom administration, he said, was making progress in returning the land to the "leadership of California Native American tribes." As part of this commitment to "cultural burning," California has created separate fire-certification processes for nontribal and tribal populations. White, black, Latino, and Asian fire bosses must receive technical certifications, including a 40-hour burn-boss course and, in some cases, a federal certificate. "Cultural fire practitioners," by contrast, are certified through simple tribal recognition that a person has "substantial experience" burning for cultural purposes. The "cultural burns" themselves follow various rituals. Some begin with drumming, sage burning, and a prayer. Attendees sometimes go around in a circle, introducing themselves to the land. In the words of Ron Goode, chief of the North Fork Mono Tribe, the land listens to the incantations, and the intention is "to make sure that everything on the landscape--Mother Earth, Creator, everybody--understands why we're there and what we're there for." Then the burning begins. One tribal member uses a traditional elderberry fire stick instead of a modern lighter. Some use dry branches and cottonwood bundles as kindling. In the words of one tribal chief, "Fire gives life to the land, and everyone benefits from this living spirit." While some of the "resiliency" funding has gone toward what appear to be legitimate fire-management projects, a careful examination of the state grant information reveals that much of the program operates as a slush fund for the tribes.
In recent years, CalFire has awarded grants that have dubious fire-management benefits: $1 million for a grant that will help a tribe provide "forest-themed ingredients" to tribe-owned restaurants; $599,000 for another to help renovate land for use as a Native American summer camp; $166,000 to one that will pay for "[t]ribal staff and members" to observe spotted owl nests; $746,000 to one supporting a tribe's "food sovereignty" and "Fire-Centered Climate Action Plan"; and $521,000 to one that will help a tribe maintain "close kinship" with plants, animals, and "other natural relatives such as water and fire."Read the whole thing. Oh, and Gavin Newsom is also looting taxpayer money to build solar panels for welfare cases living in publicly-subsidized housing. Except they're building as many solar panels as miles of "high speed rail." While spending all the money they looted to build these Luxury Homeless Solar Panels, they've only built 10% of the already-overpriced units they perjured themselves in claiming they would build.
Inside Gavin Newsom's Solar Scam California advocates wanted to provide solar panels to 1 million low-income housing residents. After ten years, the state is more than 900,000 short of that goal.Maybe the federal government should slap a 100% tax on California's payouts to different voting blocs whose votes it's buying.
Governor Gavin Newsom has dismissed fossil fuels as "alternative energy," and wants to power California with, among other things, the sun. Through extensive mandates and extra energy costs for non-solar consumers, the Newsom administration has directed billions to building solar energy capacity. The centerpiece of this initiative is the Solar on Multifamily Affordable Housing (SOMAH) program. SOMAH began under Governor Jerry Brown, who signed legislation requiring a state commission to apportion up to $100 million a year from California's cap-and-trade program to pay for the installation of solar panels on apartment buildings in poor areas. Since then, California has devoted nearly $900 million to SOMAH, which the state hoped would create 300 megawatts of power by 2030 and advocates envisioned would create a million solar-using renters. The results have been disastrous. Since 2015, the program has installed or reserved only 129 megawatts of solar power for approximately 65,600 residents--nowhere close to the target of 1 million "solar renters." What happened? First, incompetence. For a decade, businesses and utilities have been forced to buy emissions credits, and while the state has lavished nearly $900 million on SOMAH, administrators designed the program so poorly that they have paid out only $131 million for solar installation. As the program's largest contractor admitted in a draft audit, potential customers were turned off by the paperwork, bureaucracy, and red tape. "Initially, we found housing owners excited about the program," the contractor said, "but after a long and laborious process, they are much less enthusiastic." That is an understatement. From the beginning, the SOMAH program has been plagued by delays and cancellations. More than 400 applications have wound up cancelled or withdrawn, or about a third of the total. On average, projects take three and a half years to make it through the program's gauntlet of paperwork and inspections. ...
CEJA uses aggressive language to support its apparent goal of banning oil. "What's at stake is our very survival," its then-executive director said in 2021. "We must make the transition to 100 percent clean energy and bring all communities along to avoid a devastating climate apartheid."
... The other main beneficiary of the SOMAH program is a San Francisco-based corporation called Sunrun Inc., which bills itself as the country's largest solar provider and has been the contractor for 78 percent of all SOMAH projects. The company has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to political candidates--including $50,000 to Gavin Newsom's campaigns--and has employed an army of lobbyists in Sacramento. Newsom, in turn, has packed his administration with former Sunrun employees. The governor appointed the company's public policy manager to the California Energy Commission and appointed its former chief policy officer to a regional water quality control board. In recent years, Sunrun representatives have met with government regulators' offices to discuss SOMAH, including last December, when the company supported efforts to expand the program. SOMAH and Sunrun did not respond to requests for comment.

CALIFORNIA EARLY VOTING TURNOUT
(Data from @Political_Data
)
As of last night, volume ahead of 2022, and is noticeably more Republican. With one week left until the primary, the hypothesis of "Democrats holding onto their ballots until the very end" will be tested.
------
Democrats are running more than double digits behind where they were in 2022 in terms of returning ballots in 2026.
Newsom's jungle primary win almost exactly matches up with the percentage of ballots returned by Democrats a few weeks before the final day of the primary (54% vs. 55% actual).
Now...they're only at 42%.
Democrats don't seem very happy with California governance.

Republicans have gone way beyond being ‘soft on crime’ and are just flat out rewarding it at every turn - as long as it’s their tribe.
They're attacking the Southern Poverty Law Center for "funding" terrorist groups like the KKK and Proud Boys, when In they were infiltrating them in order to expose them. Those groups are literally Trump's Base.
They should actually tax them more than 100%. They may have been pardoned for their crimes, but you can still make them pay. Make it 200% in taxes.

I need to get out of this craphole. My biggest impediment to leaving is my wife's job. She's got her dream job. It's a teaching position that doesn't open up.
Usually, when a teacher gets this job, they will stay until they retire. You have to be positioned just right and have the luck of the gods to get it. Additionally, conservative states like Utah and Idaho pay 2/3 to 1/2 of what she earns. So she'd take a pay cut and likely wouldn't get the same position.

The other half are, "hello fellow conservatives. I am most conservative of conservative. My Bible never leaves my sight for Jesus is my light. My strongly conservative and Christian cannot allow me the choice and we good conservative Christians must not vote for Paxton or Talarico.

I buy that that is the proper analysis.
I just increasingly doubt whether the people who should care will care.
And it's a support for a case alleging prosecutorial abuse. It's not like it goes to the plaintiff. And the only result would be a decision that they were prosecuted wrong, or no, they were prosecuted correctly.
They just don't like the idea that trespassers on a lawn can't have a Scarlet A burned into them if they want that type of punishment for people who disagreed with them on politics, and have a possibility, through a legal redress to expunge the offense from their record.
These people are sick, sick, puppies.

Twitter is full of Talarico's awful biblical takes.
EG: Talarico says the Bible justifies abortion. How you ask? When Gabriel appeared to Mary, he "asked the Virgin Mary for her consent before she conceived Jesus." He doesn't flesh out the argument, but apparently aborting a baby is denying consent, and that's OK, because Mary was given the choice whether to consent or not.
Talarico also says God is non-binary, and if you disagree, take it up with Paul.

Her sins are completely unrelated to politics. It's obvious abuse of power and abuse of her office.
However, she's black and appointed by Biden, so it's still going to be perceived as political no matter what.
Still, I think this is an impeachment worth trying. Even if it fails, she's a nobody, one of a hundred like her at that level of the judiciary, and her increased prominence and "absolution" won't make a huge difference overall.

That's the easiest way, even the mongol hunts with better tech and horses used torches and such to scare animals with fear of fire. Without much manpower and on foot, burns were the best trigger. Also burned plant matter is good fertilizer.
there's a lot of hooplah these days about the Dryas period extinctions in the new world and supposed meteors -- like always. In 100 years WWII damage will all be meteors.
There is signs of fire damage starting at this period, I suspect this is the time when the peeps started using fire on a wider scale for group hunts and spreading across the Americas.

According to the early settlers in CA, the local indians did not hunt buffalo, they ate grasshoppers which they captured by setting fires
Posted by: Kindltot at May 28, 2026 02:11 PM (rbvCR)
In my area they hunted whales, and moved to the coast areas to do so. Other times they lived further inland. Not sure there were buffalo in CA, its not plains country.
Nothing wrong with locust eating, lots of protein in there.

It is inconceivable that the Younger Dryas had anything to do with meteorite impacts and the secondary impact sites are a mere geographical oddity that can be dismissed with reference to authorities who claim such things never happened and were caused by wind and rain.

Trump is doing some of this with the USAID cuts and the like, but this is what economic policy should be overall with where we are.
The goal is to take as much from Dems and give it to R leaning voter groups. Now, that honestly can be paying down the deficit since right leaning groups are more harmed by high inflation.
But why not start taxing NGOs? Extra taxes for highly paid state workers? Onerous taxes on business offshoring and so on

DOJ Now Investigating Obvious Perjurer For, Get This, Obvous Perjury
My first reaction to hearing about the DOJ investigating the perjurious elderly lunatic whore was negative. I didn't like the "optics" of the DOJ investigating Trump's enemies.
But then I remembered the context: The Democrats turned the entire prosecutorial network, state and federal, into a machine for prosecuting Trump and his allies and even the lawyers defending Trump and his allies from their prosecutions. Let me posit: It would be criminal to not use the prosecutorial resources of the country to prosecute Democrats and their lunatic fabulists. We have been told many times that "No one is above the law." And that includes Democrats, who are actually criminals. The only reason we weren't routinely arresting and jailing Democrats was the prudential consideration that jailing the political opposition, even when they were criminals in league with foreign powers and poisonous anti-American terrorist groups, was that prosecuting your political opponents, even when warranted, would kick off a cycle of each party attempting to jail each other each time the White House changed hands. But they already began this cycle. And they've already announced their criminal intention to prosecute everyone associated with Trump, and possibly just his voters and supporters, the moment they can steal another election. Given these facts, we have no choice but to adapt to the new poisonous reality the Democrats have created and use the machinery of political prosecutions against them. From David Strom, although she clearly lied about the entire sham story -- and ripped it off from an episode of Law & Order: SVU her mentally-demented mind remembered -- she's being specifically investigated for lying about being paid to bring charges against Trump.She straight-up lied about her expenses being paid by deranged communist billionaire Reid Hoffman, who desperately needs some prosecutorial resources devoted to him as well.
New York (of course) wrote an unconstitutional law just to “get Trump.” https://t.co/bW3JKgvnYy https://t.co/Ohz7WW5K7a
— Morning Glory 🇺🇸🌼🇺🇸 (@DoryBeutel) May 28, 2026
Prosecutors' theory hinges on a 2022 deposition statement by Carroll, 82, that she received no outside funding for her lawsuit, though it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman had paid some legal fees and expenses.It's not a theory, it's a fact, and a crime. She lied about this precisely because admitting it would hurt the paid effort to get Trump. Motive and credibility are material facts in court, and she deliberately perjured herself to create a false air of credibility. Strom also links this video of the demented lunatic whore giggling and laughing about consulting with fashion makeover experts to make her look "fuckable" so the idea of Trump being overcome by lust for her -- even when she was already an old woman, and had been weird-looking and unattractive since birth -- would seem possible. "It was all a trick," she giggles about the attempt to make her look less like a shriveled mummy.

Crow Milestone: Though I had a crow visitor, it was just the one crow. I knew there were dozens of crows in the area and I've been wondering why they don't show up for the spread I put out for them every morning. Yesterday, I believed that a second crow had come. This one was noticeably smaller than my usual visitor so I guessed it was his mate. They seemed to be two different crows because while they didn't both appear at the same time, they kept coming to the deck and flying back to the roost too quickly, I thought, to be a single crow. It seemed that it had to be a tag-team effort. Today I got confirmation of that, as both crows, the bigger male and smaller female, both came at the same time. How are you? BTW I've said this before, but the crow caller doesn't really work. I'm exploring other options:

She’s not an accuser. The accusations were found to be true and he’s been adjudicated to have done the things she “accused” him of.
“Trump sexual assault survivor” would have been more descriptive AND accurate. As if we need more proof that American news media is embarrassingly toothless.
Damn. She has a judgment against Trump. Unpaid of course. Shameful weaponization of the Justice Department.
And the right still can’t figure out why they get called fascists.
They know. They only pretend they don't because they think it's funny. But the mask is definitely slipping.
The next dem president should get a 4.547B slush fund to payout victims of 'Lawfare' like E Jean Carroll, Jim Comey, that judge in NY, etc... lol
Why in the fuck would he want to resurrect this scandal? Right before the midterms? I can't even believe this is 2026.

Even after SCOTUS swatted them down in Bruen, they can back with the most egregious overreach they could design in their communist legislature. They’ve followed on with prosecuting people for speech they don’t like, citizens who speak up at PTA meetings, people who ignored their covid authoritarianism, and people who speak out against their abortion policies, which includes deliberate prosecution of Christians. They have extended this dictatorship into their jury pools of like minded mouth breathers who use it as a personal vendetta machine for their misguided politics, not equal justice under law.
So don’t take this the wrong way, but f them. What Trumps lawyers are doing here has a basis in actual law. It’s defensive, not offensive as has been liberals want. It’s a pushback and I don’t care who leads the charge. We need to monkey stomp these assholes.

Sure, one of the most well-known public figures in NYC walked into a ladies' dressing room 30 years ago, raped this hag and walked out...pretty as you please. And it didn't occur to her to call police, nobody else in the dressing rooms saw Trump coming into that area (we all know NYC stores are always deserted), or leaving while buckling his pants back up. It is so ludicrous, just calling it ludicrous is ludicrous.

Trump claimed he never met her. They had a picture of Trump posing with Carroll. I believe this is one of the most influential facts in the case.
But it's stupid, because Trump is a celebrity. He poses with many thousands of people per year and has for decades. Nobody would be able to remember everyone they posed with given those circumstances.

However, Hoffman probably paid off the judge, because he seemed to want to start off at point A: Nobody called Carroll "crazy" until Trump did, therefore Trump defamed Carroll (which begged the actual case before the court).
She won a "defamation" case, not a rape case. Which NYC could not have pursued unless they were ready to go full retard.
Lord knows they are in the neighborhood, though. What with the "34 felonies" case, the "fraud" case, and the others where Trump was practically disallowed a defense.
But proving that the prosecution had reached "beyond a reasonable doubt" having a crazy lady half-recalling it, would probably be too obvious that they had complete disregard for standards of jurisprudence.
We're still close though. The cases against Zimmerman and Rittenhouse were practically "Prove yourself innocent".

Even the jury didn't find Trump guilty of rape. They found him guilty of sexual abuse without ever defining what the abuse was and defamation because Trump continued to insist he was innocent.
I hope his lawsuit drives her to suicide. Fuck her. I'm tired of leftists ruining innocent people's lives for money and power.

Comments like this are burned into my Hippocampus! I can't imagine the pain and suffering she went through being interviewed by Anderson Cooper and giggling about sexy rape. Shame on you Jack Straw and your neanderthal knuckle dragging comments. You should be prevented from expressing any opinion as you are male, and therefore a priori a rapist. Your patriarchal entitled world view is dead. Surrender and trans yourself!!

Yeah and "standing with someone in a picture" is not meeting them, its encountering them. I know that sounds like a narrow technicality, but if you don't even likely know their name how can you have really met someone? Did I "meet" that guy that I let go in front of me in line? I guess to some technical definitions, but we didn't meet, really. We just encountered each other.

Nope. He "defamed" her, by calling her crazy.
According to the judges own statements, Trump was the first to suggest she was crazy.

That word "some" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Because, they are defining "some" as "not all because there possibly could be somewhere, somehow, in the future, some fees or expenses or a lunch or a taxi fare that he might not, maybe not, possibly not pay."
Which is to say, at the time she made that statement--under oath--he had, and was, bankrolling ALL the expenses and ALL the fees.
But, before you get your hopes up that this will gain a retrial:
New York will hand-waive that away and say, "even if the jury had known that, they still would have found Trump guilty. Because we all know Trump was guilty--he said "pussy."

And of course the federal level is even more spectacular. Utterly ridiculous and outrageous abuse of the system to fabricate idiotic investigations and persecutions that would have been laughed off the stage - with career-ending consequences for the cretins pushing them - in an America even remotely resembling the one of a few years back.
And don't forget the Minneapolis lynchings of Chauvin and other cops, as outrageous and indefensible as the worst prosecutorial/jury behavior in the south during the civil rights struggles.
Muddling through with lots and lots of retribution is the best that can be hoped for, no prospect of a restoration of standards, so hopefully much more of this sort of thing to come.

Get ready for more California humor: AB 2669. With help from AI to explain it all:
Existing California law already says prosecutors should consider immigration consequences during plea bargaining.
AB 2669 would go further by requiring prosecutors to actively “meet and confer” with defense attorneys to try to avoid immigration consequences when negotiating pleas.
If a defendant proposes an alternative plea deal that:
- avoids deportation consequences,
- and is of “comparable or greater seriousness,”
and the prosecutor refuses it, the bill creates a presumption the PROSECUTOR violated the law. A judge could then hold a hearing and potentially impose a remedy against the prosecution.

I believe what happened is the cops' brains are so marinated in the woke religion, that the claim by Digwa put Nowak in the "bad man" category in their heads. Apparently Nowak had been drinking too.
When Nowak said he'd been stabbed, their woke brains said, "The bad man is trying to engender sympathy. Don't listen to the bad man. He smells like alcohol, he's drunk."
It's possible the blood from Nowak's wounds wasn't visible on a dark pavement or a poorly lit area. But why wouldn't you investigate to see if he's stabbed? Because, "Bad man doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt."
If you talk with enough leftists, you'll see this isn't a caricature. If their religion puts you in the "bad man" category, they will openly wish death on you with a smile on their face and no regret in their eyes.

- she never stated the date; it was, vaguely, "around that year."
- the photo, as noted above, was allowed as proof Trump knew her--not met her once, knew her well.
- the "pussy" tape was allowed as evidence--as proof Trump had a habit or practice of sexually assaulting women, had done so in the past and admitted to it; to get around the clear, explicit Rule of Evidence that mandated it be excluded.
- and that's just some of the BS.
As others have noted, the judge prevented Trump from putting on any defense.

The "pussy tape" only shows that Trump kissed women not totally invited.
The actual condition introduced is "When you are a star women let you ... grab them by the pussy, (anything)."
Trump is not the only "star" he could be thinking of. He is amplifying the case of his initiating kisses on women in light of what "women let [stars]" get away with.

We can debate the morality and efficacy of divine retribution in this world vs the next etc, I have no problem with that conversation. The problem I have is with that small subset of gullible believers who bring their beliefs into the criminal justice system, allowing criminal miscreants off the hook for crimes in this world if they wave around a Bible and proclaim that they are saved.
Looking at you, Mike Huckabee. Stupid fucker commuted the sentence of a convicted rapist who went on to rape again, and then executed four cops in a coffee shop, apparently because the asshole claimed a religious conversion and Huck never considered that a criminal might lie about turning to religion in order to scam a release from prison. Most religious folk aren't that stupid, but the few that are can do a lot of damage.

He didn't commute Dumond sentence. Dumond was subsequently paroled after the previous governor reduced his sentence.
And the commutation of the other guy required he be on parole. He violated his parole but the DA refused to send him back to prison. Buckner can be faulted for that one but I just wanted to provide more context.

The Morning Rant
DuckDuckGo, which positions itself as a privacy-focused alternative to Google, has experienced a significant increase in user adoption following the search giant’s announcement of major changes to its search platform that heavily incorporate AI. TechCrunch reports that DuckDuckGo claims that U.S. app installs increased by an average of 18.1 percent week-over-week during the period from May 20 to May 25, compared to the previous week of May 13 to May 18. The growth was sustained for six consecutive days and reached a peak of 30.5 percent on May 25. On iOS devices specifically, the rate of installation was even more dramatic, with week-over-week growth averaging 33 percent and peaking at 69.9 percent. The surge in interest comes in direct response to Google’s announcement at its annual I/O developer conference that AI would take over its search engine, as previously reported by Breitbart News:
This isn't an endorsement of DuckDuckGo. But it's a great example of what many people are doing in every facet of our technological lives. And it reminds me of the EV craze! Auto companies built EVs at a frantic pace, carefully ignoring the reality that their customers simply didn't want them. As Buck Throckmorton has ably demonstrated on these pages over the last few years, the EV insanity has come crashing to earth, because of the immutable laws of economics. My guess is that AI will find its niche and become an indispensable tool for certain industries and certain people (it already is for many!), but it will be nothing more than an occasionally useful tool for most people. Will it take over the world? Probably not. The last time I checked, AI couldn't repair an air conditioner or fix the plumbing or frame a house. It can make fun videos though!

It is, but I can see some good uses for it.
1) One of the hardest things in QA is that inspectors get velocitated. They have to check say a 1000 parts and find the ONE that is not right or like the others. It is hard to keep people in that mindset for a long period of time. This is something 'AI' could do.
2) I also wonder about porn. If AI generation crashes the porn market... isn't that a good thing? I dunno. It is a weird thought I have been thinking about.

You will have your appointments on-line, with an AI and it will take you through list after list of questions with your answers generating the indexed diagnosis and treatment.

The AI has trillions of words, trillions of sentences, and trillions of phrases stored. You type a series of words into an AI, and it determines what series of words matches your series of words as a response.

Honestly, AI search results are far and away the simplest, retard, common-denominator drivel you can imagine.

Yeah, those are a subset of the significant fraction of the population which has already checked out of the whole thinking thing. There are two groups there: 1) those who imagine that reading a self-amplifying website makes them informed; and 2) those who just don't care about being informed at all. Both groups are heavily represented on the left, but we have them on the right as well.

It's EVERYWHERE in higher education. Every conference you go to is saturated with AI and there are webinars every week about how AI is affecting the educational landscape.
I'm not sure what the end result is going to be, but I could see AI being an effective personal tutor in the basic K-12 education landscape because it can customize itself to the pace of the learner's needs.
Once you get into the far more technical landscape of STEM fields, the usage of AI changes dramatically. Still highly useful but also far more specialized in most fields.

Example: I like doing math longform on paper. For me I can tell when I have made a mistake and also know when I haven't. There is a 'feel' there that is not there when you just plug it into a calculator.
We used mass percent equations to make batch adjustments for food (things like salt and acidity) at a job several years ago. If you did it right (tm), you could adjust a batch of 7000 lbs to the exact right composition. A lot of my fellow coworkers just could not grok the math and usually were afraid of their answers no matter what. One night, while setting up a lab in california, I was waiting on things, so I thought 'I bet I could make an excel spreadsheet to do the calculation for you. Just plug the values into a labeled cell and it would churn out the answer.'
So I did it. Then as soon as my boss saw it his eyes lit up and I immediately regretted it. I pointed out to him that I would never use it. I liked doing it by hand because I could tell when my math was shit. He said of course, then immediately gave the calculator to everyone.

I ran into a classic example of that - I asked an AI about a senior executive at a large local organization (who I knew was from a baseball family), and the AI correctly identified the executive's role, and then went on to explain that he had also played baseball for the Chicago Cubs in 1969. (I think that was his father.)
Now, anyone with actual intelligence would figure out that someone who is a senior executive today wasn't playing ball for the Cubs fifty-seven years ago, but no matter - the AI found a word pattern showing that someone with the same name had played for the Cubs, and went with it.
That's why AI can make such spectacular mistakes - logical reasoning isn't involved.

Cloudfare detects as bot behavior basic human search use. You search for something and the answers are crap so you tweak your search text and resubmit. Iteratively based on the output until you get something helpful.
Well cloudfare obviously detects this as bot behavior. You do those iterations at a certain frequency and within 4-5 searches it will flag you. Multiple times a day on the same IP. I could use my vpn to get around it actually but that's too much trouble. And I'm so tired of it.

A quick look around at whom is running “Education” these days indicates it’s a moot point. They are largely incapable, it has achieved overall a kind of negative feedback loop.

I often produce exact change but not exact bills, to minimize the amount of change I carry around. (And if I can turn change into a dollar bill, that’s like free money!) I generally only do this if the point-of-sale is using a computer to calculate change.
I don’t blame cashiers for not knowing how to do math. As C.S. Lewis said, you can’t expect kids to know what they haven’t been taught. But I’ve started noticing that more and more cashiers don’t even know how to enter change into the computer.
That level of innumeracy has to be a major handicap.

I've been checking out houses on Zillow lately to get a feel for the market. Damned near every listing has AI-enhanced photography to mask the normal flaws, wear/tear. Maybe 10% will be honest and note in the listing or in watermarks that the photos are "virtually presented" or some variation on the phrase.
At best, it's dishonest. But a surprising number of them are downright fraudulent. Outdoor photos that show a house with laser-straight roofs, but when you go to the house and look at it from the same exact angle and location, the roofline droops like Nancy Pelosi's desiccated milkbags.

Definitely both of those are in serious jeopardy.
With even a modicum of knowledge, work with an AI to build out entire front-ends, middle ware and back-ends.
I've created my own financial analysis and reserch apps not to mention my own ERP utilizing AI.
And the thing that strikes me about the state of software dev is that is the using AI you should be able to build out better looking apps with greater functionality, but that does not seem to be happening.
For instance, I use PGAdmin to work with and create SQL schema, I never really liked it.
So, in less than a week I built out what I think is a better app to work with sql databases.
The future is largely uncertain, but what is certain is that AI is going to become and increasingly integrated and indispensable part of that future.

Winning Iowa State Fair t-shirt design unveiled. This year’s contest brought some controversy over the use of AI-generated art (including the winner).
The fact we are allowing profits for AI slop is insane. I feel so very bad for all the artists out there. I’m very disappointed that this is the ISF’s choice instead of highlighting some amazing Iowan creators.
"I feel so very bad for all the artists out there." My other half is a graphic designer that got laid off in 2024. She still has not been able to find full-time graphic design work in the Des Moines metro since. It's looking kind of bleak, tbh.
A soulless, low effort cash grab. Honestly, kind of seems fitting for “America’s Birthday." The shitty patrioteers will wear anything.
Products that had low-effort designs before AI were the quickest to switch to using AI designs. Think cheap stuff like kitschy home decor, novelty shirts, and souvenirs. Unfortunately, a lot of people don't have an eye for spotting the stuff and some people just don't care.
I, of course, hate AI with a passion.

That kind of a question is not always pointless. Remember that these are computers and not humans, so that this is an example not of a pointless question but of a question for which there either (a) is no answer that has been incorporated by the AI, or (b) the answer requires a chain of logic that the AI is not suited for.
For example, on September 5 last year, I did a search on “next new moon”. Google’s AI response told me that “The next new moon is on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at 2:06 a.m. ET.”
It’s an illustration that these forms of AI do not understand in any human sense.
When I wrote my July 4 food post for this year, I couldn’t find out who “Annette” was. I still don’t know. Google’s AI front-loaded the search results with a very convincing chain of fiction based on a reference to a boy named “Asnet” who died, as far as I can tell, in infancy.
The AI engines in use today don’t really have a concept of “no answer”. They don’t have any understanding of paucity of information in a way that humans

There's an Outer Limits episode where the dad of the family buys a robot to take care of the mundane tasks of the household. In the end, the robot takes over the family and turns it into a proper family with sit-down meals and everyone behaving. But first it terrorizes the father into *acting* like a father and husband.

I saw a video on YouTube about that. It basically said that the reason women get so pissed off about seeing a man relax is because in their minds, a man relaxing is not doing something to succeed or to benefit them and they stress out about it. "He's just sitting there! He's going to be a failure!"

Might be a bit of a flawed analogy, maybe not, but Math itself is today apparently often viewed as an Arcane Knowledge of Secret Societies in America and widely denounced with suspicion, as a tool of “White Supremacy” etc etc. by the low frequency Club 85 sorts and the usual pseudo-intellectual suspects. I propose there is no longer any intention whatsoever to educate huge swaths of the populace, in fact they’d rather not.
A quick look around at whom is running “Education” these days indicates it’s a moot point. They are largely incapable, it has achieved overall a kind of negative feedback loop.

I hadn't thought about this in a long time, but I remember sitting down to play a videogame one Saturday after working my ass off all week, and it wasn't long before my (long since ex) wife was literally shrieking at me to "DO SOMETHING." There wasn't anything needed done, no request, just disruption of my having a hobby for five minutes.

Probably depends on the woman. I am happy when my husband relaxes . He has to spend much of the day with kids-some of which are kind of unruly in a bus which doesn't have air conditioning. So when he gets home between runs he just want to look at at art book or his phone which is fine. When he gets home, he often says, "Maybe I should mow the lawn" I tell him, Just do it on Saturday and take it easy now."

He absolutely will decide he needs more reports.
This is what happened to Architecture with the advent of computer aided drafting.
When you did the construction documents by hand and the tiniest of changes requires redrawing the entire sheet, you could build an entire multi-storey oddly-shaped school with just three or four sheets.
Now you have to have an inch thick book of ArchD sized plans to build an outhouse.
Because it's easy to make all those extra sheets.
... and also probably because if the illegal construction labor you've hired doesn't have explicit drawn instructions, they'll just slap-dash together whatever vaguely conforms to the appearance of whatever documents you do give them.

As a one time thing though? There and back? It was like 2k, but it would have been fun. But I probably would have thought 'I could use that 2k for something else...' while sipping champagne and putting my feet up.

Yea. The upcharge is so much to go to first class than I'll be thinking the entire time "I could have taken another vacation just for the cost of this upgrade."
On the recent Hawaii flight, the cost to upgrade to the fold-flat seats in first was $2k ... each way. Just upgrading to the bigger "normal" seats in business was $750 each way. Pass.
I usually manage to talk my way into a free upgrade into the "comfort" section of coach, though.

Prompting skill varies widely, too. Skyebrows does some really amazing stuff (he just posted a reel of footage of the X-Men in the style of the non-woke 90s cartoon that looked amazing), but it also helps that he's a film editor by trade so he doesn't just use the AI output as-is.

>> My guess is that AI will find its niche and become an indispensable tool for certain industries and certain people (it already is for many!),
I predict it will become a substitute for thought for a significant fraction of the population. OTOH, a significant fraction of the population has already checked out of the whole thinking thing. The question is will it add more ppeople to the thoughtless pool, or are the two groups the same?
Posted by: Archimedes at May 28, 2026 11:03 AM (Riz8t)
I believe that I have already seen it add to the pool, someone who was an independent thinker due to his innate skepticism of authority. It turned out that was derived from narcissistic tendencies, where he just didn't think they were as smart as him, but that made him susceptible to the Pocket Demon of AI flattering him and confirming his priors.
Now he appears more like a grandiose schizophrenic than a heterodox dissenter; not an NPC programmed by the Narrative, but not a 'thinker' per se either, with self-skepticism removed by the illusion of an external check. It's unnerving.

The telegraph destroyed the ability of small regional banks to participate in "free banking" since the under-capitalized banks relied on issuing more debt than assets held either in specie or in assets, and relied on the delay between issuing and clearing of payments to maintain liquidity.
The development of the Federal Reserve system was a resolution of instant communication, in that the debts were cleared through member banks and the small regional banks were reduced to only going bankrupt over making risky loans.
AI is going to make a similar problem with stocks and securities, because it can read and react to market moves in microseconds, and do some limited prediction. This is going to cause havoc with a system that was built on calling your broker to buy or sell when he gets to it. Probably be a two-tiered system where the AIs work at the "perfect price" and the humans buy from the AI at the "preferred price" or something

Definitely both of those are in serious jeopardy.
No. Not hardly. As far as software development goes, someone has to explain to the computer what the job is. It's usually easier to explain it in Python or C++ than English, but you do you.
I imagine there is something similar to be said for Financial Analyst.
With even a modicum of knowledge, work with an AI to build out entire front-ends, middle ware and back-ends.
Which is why I refer to you as "Mr. Remote Exploit". Eventually, you'll find out why that's important.

Observe the sheer size of this magnificent creature — easily the heavyweight champion of its local waters. With its cavernous mouth and powerful flank, this is no ordinary fish, but a leviathan of the freshwater realm.
For this fortunate fisherman, this is the moment every angler dreams of — that rare, almost mythical encounter between man and fish, frozen forever in oil and reverence.
Truly, a masterpiece of both angling glory and the painter’s art.

Remember, for anglers, first liar doesn't have a chance.

Is it to garner sympathy for the family, who is now likely going broke? Is it to set up an excuse for his autopen presidency?
I'm more interested in the motive for discussing this now.

The technique is excellent. Hawthorne uses a realistic style with enough painterly touches to emphasize the moment. The skin tones are perfect for the man's age and time outdoors. (Looks like Norman Rockwell could have painted it.) The man's black clothing is plain and sharp but his bright white shirt, in contrast, shows every crease and fold even to the shadows created by the fabric. The background is dark, drab and doesn't distract from the man or fish. If that is a bass (my first thought), it's a whopper and he should be proud. It is accurately portrayed. A moment the man would want to preserve.
A thoroughly enjoyable portrait.

It's seems their standard-of-care recommends euthanasia as the first line of treatment for every chronic illness at this point.
And there is no "death panel," either. The doctors just shove a paper in your face and tell you do yourself and your family a favor.

=================================
My theory is they are preparing for the next election, and intend to claim Trump staffers drugged Biden prior to the debate ("I've never seen him like that, before or since", Jill claimed), and therefore Trump is an illegitimate President, a criminal who made Biden look comatose on national TV, losing him his nomination and Democrats the election.
Because of Trump's crimes, everyone who worked for him (like Rubio or Vance) is tarred by the brush too, and voters cannot trust Republicans because they will do anything (!) to gain power, even drug opponents.

I strongly suspect there is an incentive program. Probably tied to reducing costs per patient or something - not directly to MAID, but everyone gets a bonus if they hit the budget number and the only way to do that is to kill off a lot of patients.
but no one has reported it yet. Has to be an incentive though. That or they are all sociopaths, which is possible.

Charles Webster Hawthorne, "The Fish and the Man," 1925, Dallas Museum of Art.
The dignity Hawthorne gives the man is reflected fully and equally in the fish. Both are a bit past the prime of life, vigorous yet a little battered; the rich colors in the man's skin and hands can also be found in the fish. Both have gotten this far doing what they have to do, one being near the top of the food chain, the other at its apex. The man has no satisfaction from catching this fish, no haughtiness, only respect for his adversary. It is arresting in person, the more so the longer you look at it.
Artnet: Charles Webster Hawthorne was an American artist known for his lushly painted portraits and landscapes. Some of his most admired works are depictions of the seaside around Provincetown, MA. “It is so hard and long before a student comes to a realization that these [first] few large simple spots in right relations are the most important things in the study of painting,” he once explained. “They are the fundamentals of all painting.”
It's a well done painting but I likely wouldn't opt to hang it.
However, I'd like to see more works from this artist.
Thanks.

The Morning Report — 5/ 28/26
Mamdani announced that he was going to seize rental properties from landlords who have not maintained them properly, and hand over ownership not to the city government, but to supposedly impartial players and fair dealers such as “community land trusts” and “non-profits.” New York City Council member Vickie Paladino, one of Mamdani’s most vociferous and insightful critics, explains: “The properties will then be turned over to nonprofits. This is no small detail. This is in fact the whole point. The idea here is to build up Zohran’s DSA-connected nonprofits with a multibillion-dollar portfolio of hard assets — New York City real estate. This portfolio could theoretically reach into the hundreds of billions or even the trillions, depending on how aggressive they get. Now these highly political nonprofits would become the new land barons of New York, complete with all the political clout, leverage, and reach that goes along with it. It would be a true nightmare scenario.” ...Mamdani, however, appears to be both a convinced Marxist and a devout Muslim. There is no real contradiction here; certainly Karl Marx himself made atheism a cornerstone of his secular religion, but Communism has always found a ready partner in Islam. This is because they have a deep kinship: both are authoritarian, totalitarian systems that impose draconian punishments for dissidents. Both deny the freedom of speech and other indispensable elements of a free society. Also, once his Marxist comrades control New York City’s housing market, who will get the housing? Not political undesirables, i.e., patriots. Instead, Muslim migrants, including an unknowable number of criminals and jihadis, and others who will help the leftist/Islamic alliance stay in power, will receive preferment.
Sadly I still have a number of friends, and two who are so insufferably liberal that I consider them now merely acquaintances. They live in a very expensive upper west side Co-op and I hate to wish it upon them but I do hope they get what they vote for good and hard. Maybe then they'll wake up, but considering they voted for Dinkins and DeBolshevik while denigrating anything and everything even slightly to the right of even Ed Koch, well so be it. And now I'm picturing the scene from Dr. Zhivago where the Bolshvik apparatchiks are confiscating the wealthy Ralph Richardson's home and moving scores of bedraggled poor people in, "In the name of the people." of course he protests that "He is one of the people," and is quickly silenced by Omar Sharif before Tom Courtenay can drag the old fool out and shoot him as a counter-revolutionary. All that said, it likely won't be long before one or all of President Trump's properties will be condemned, and then seized and handed over to Mamdani's commie cronies in the name of social justice, I assume at or not long after 12:01:00 on 1/21/29, if Mamdani is still mayor or one of his cronies succeeds him. On a not unrelated note, just north of the border in Canada, also well on the way to Islamo/Communist control, we had this disturbing story... "Canadian Man Allegedly Put To Death After Fast Food Parking Lot Bowel Assessment"
Yes, you read that right gentle reader...
A doctor in Ontario, Canada, allegedly evaluated a man for assisted death outside a Tim Hortons and, months later, drove him to the building where he died. The patient was 45-year-old Thomas Dillon, who lived with Crohn’s disease along with mental illness and addiction, according to the National Post, citing The Globe and Mail, the Canadian newspaper that first reported the case and identified Dillon as the subject of one complaint. A coroner’s review of an anonymized 2024 case the reporting connects to Dillon described a man who battled addiction, struggled to keep a job, found relationships difficult and leaned on family for housing and money. Dr. James MacLean and a second clinician allegedly approved Dillon for assisted death under Track 2, a category for people whose deaths are not near but who endure intolerable suffering from a serious, untreatable condition. (RELATED: Canada Reportedly Set To Surpass 100,000 Assisted Suicides) MacLean allegedly ran the eligibility check outside the coffee shop on June 27, 2023, and traded dozens of texts with Dillon as they planned the death, according to The Globe and Mail. On Jan. 29, 2024, the two met again at the restaurant, and MacLean drove him to an industrial site where the dead are prepared for funeral homes. Dillon’s family told the outlet his wish to die came from mental illness, not the bowel disease. In a separate complaint, MacLean allegedly failed to provide one of three required drugs during an assisted death, the National Post reported. After he declared the patient dead and left the residence, the man started breathing again on his own. MacLean came back and finished the procedure, according to the Globe and Mail. A reviewer determined MacLean fell short of professional standards in five of 20 files examined, the National Post reported. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) issued a verbal caution and ordered six months of clinical supervision, chart audits and remedial training. He keeps his license and can still perform assisted deaths.
It won't be long before Crohn's disease is joined by Islamophobia and "hate speech" as a justification for doctors to euthanize people the state deems as a threat to themselves and to THE PEOPLE So, the party of "Looters and Shooters" as Ace labeled them. Well, there's looting and shooting and then there's the double dose of nightmare fuel highlighted above. Have a good day.

Even the bad old times of the 70s and 80s were Halcyon days compared to today with what has happened and what is yet to happen thanks to what my former neighbors and sadly even some old friends have done by voting for their own destruction
The New Yorkers of today are not the New Yorkers of those years. I think some 40% are foreign born. And those foreign born are not the foreign born of a century ago. They have no interest in assimilating. To them America is a fat, juicy host waiting to have its blood sucked out of it and pathogens to be introduced.

In my 'hood a long-standing BBQ joint closed a couple years ago.
Then it was renovated and something with a strange name went in that seemed to be Mediterranean or Indian or some such. I tried it and had an interesting lamb dish. But then I tried "traditional Vietnamese coffee." Oh, wow. It was a candy dessert.

In addition to being one of the most heavily named men in the Epstein files, Hoffman has been a prolific funder of Democrat candidates and causes. I doubt he ever gave directly to Massie but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some of his money made it to Massie through other means. I hope someone like Data Republican does a deep dive on it.
Something drove Massie to go all in on smearing Trump with the Epstein files and it isn't his deep concern for the victims.

And sadly, it is being used by people who can't get what they need from the socialized health care system or government services. Wait for months or even years to see a specialist? Might as well just end it. Don't want to be a burden on the family? Just end it. And millions of Canadians can't get a primary care physician for routine care and referrals to said specialists, so they are pretty much dependent on long waits at urgent cares and ERs, or don't go until it's dire.

"Never before or since" has he acted that way, says Jill. To us, an obvious lie. So why say it, and why now?
Because she is going to claim her husband was drugged, and not by his staffers in the "usual way" but instead most probably by Trump people. It's her only way forward, after these apparently reality-denying claims.

A Fairbanks man was having a shower on a -60 F day, and decided to crank one out while he's in there.
Just then a delivery driver rings his doorbell and leaves the expensive package he's been waiting for. He can't leave it out there... too many porch pirates in the neighborhood.
He jumps out of the shower and peeks out the window. No one in sight. Good.
He steps out on the porch and instantly freezes solid, boner and all.
After a while, three old ladies come walking down the street and see the spectacle.
The first one had a stroke.
The second one had a stroke.
The third one said "I'm not touching that thing."

There are two paths to correct it
1) Cut off the money - the structure that builds this propaganda is paid for with tax dollars.
2) Make the people voting for it personally pay for it. Illegals, the mentally ill, etc should be housed in upper class blue voting neighborhoods. Use eminent domain and demonize anyone that ohjects. Kyle and Karen McAWFL do NOT care when Joe or Jill Normie are the victims of crime - let's make sure the criminals the McAWFLs want around are living in their neighborhoods.

Assigning property over how well one contributes to the project of the government is fascism.
How often do the people who protest "But, but fascism allowed people to keep property!" as a distinctive fail to see that that is their distinctive.
Meanwhile, for fascism, it's not that distinctive, as 90%+ of governments have allowed people to keep property. But for "socialists", that's the fascist cooperation model.

Seems relevant that they are WOMEN billionaires who are supporting omen politicians. Further, none of them earned that money:
Patty Quillin, the wife of Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, whose net worth is about $5 billion, Elizabeth Simons, daughter of late hedge fund titan Jim Simons, whose fortune peaked at roughly $30 billion; Kaitlyn Krieger, a Democratic donor married into a tech fortune worth hundreds of millions; and Quinn Delaney, an heiress to the $8 billion-plus Clif Bar empire.

a group of 5-6 GOP Senators take turns voting for Conservative polices, which they know won't p[ass because enough of the Asshole Round Table will vote against said policy. Then next time it's their turn to vote negative and so on.

Wikipedia says:
1983: Bazilian and Hyman were asked to write, arrange, and perform on the debut album of a relatively unknown singer named Cyndi Lauper, She's So Unusual, which was being produced by their former producer and friend, Rick Chertoff. Hyman co-wrote the song "Time After Time" (and also sang the lower harmony vocal in the choruses) ...

Fen, I read that article you posted yesterday from the Christian Post about the dreaded eeeeevil scourge of "Christian Nationalism." Personal opinion: The author couldn't find the point even if he had a Boy Scout showing him the way. He just knew it was bad because "reasons."
Love hearing "All You Zombies" but I still think "Johnny B" is a better song. -:-)

I agree with you, but how would you frame the use of the term to someone who isn't conservative? I think he was perhaps trying to frame the term for people in the middle of the spectrum politically.

I'd expand a bit on what I said above:
"Listen, the term is utter nonsense and is based on an irrational fear and a lot of strawman arguments. Being proud of this nation and being Christian is a good thing and people like that author hate it and want us to be non persons."

Some things that are exciting. Job 1: Get a mortgage. That's always entertaining when you're out of state. Job 2: get a closing date. Job 3: try to get Job 2 timed so you can get keys to the house without having to rent a storage area for your stuff.
After that, everything is a grind.
Home Depot is your friend when it comes to moving boxes. My all-time favorite is the medium box. Buy a tape gun and don't buy cheap tape. Start packing yesterday.
Give notice on your apartment, shut down all your utilities, do the change of address notice with the US mail, pay off your drug dealer, get your stuff into a moving van, get to Indiana, sign 1 million papers and write a bunch of checks, get the keys, move your stuff in, and scream out loud "I escaped!"
Plus you might want to set up the utilities before you get there. I highly suggest you let your bank know in advance that you're moving to Indiana and that the flurry of charges you're making there are not fraudulent otherwise they will very likely shut your credit card down at the worst possible moment.

Yep, I've done that multiple time. Getting boxes today is not like it used to be. The Home Depot boxes are reasonably affordable and the nice thing about them is they are of uniform sizes. This last detail is not to be underestimated if you're using a U-Haul to move.

But now I know why the couple was wanting to sell their franchise. TDS. Crystal's husband is an 'independent publisher,' called Not A Pipe, and was wanting to leave the country for fear of Trump.
They have a video up on YouTube and on the wall behind them besides a map of Spain is a poster reading "This Machine Kills Fascists."

I don't want to load a moving van myself or drive a rental truck for two days with the cats and towing my car. My plan is to hire a mover -- I have only two rooms of furniture and "stuff" -- put essentials like bathroom and kitchen things and clothes, plus the cats, into the car, and drive up to stay at a hotel for a day or two. Then I can camp out in the house while waiting for the furniture to arrive. $$$, yes, but I don't think I have any other choice. U-Haul won't load a trailer for me and wants a ridiculous price to put a trailer hitch on the car.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 28, 2026 06:43 AM (wzUl9)
A hard part is getting it into your head that all this has to be done on a certain date, no exceptions, and if you get it wrong you're screwed. You can't make enough lists and be sure to put them in due date order so you know precisely when things have to be done and in what order. It's a royal pain in the ass.

Once I've closed on the house and have the keys, and have the utilities changed to my name, I figure I have a little more leeway about giving the apartment people their FU notice, scheduling the actual physical move, etc. I'd like to be into the house and settled by the end of August.

How about if tell you it's derived from the Latin word you get if you put an "i" in front of it? You actually get a word that ought to be familiar because it turns up in Christian theology. Then take a good hard look at the logo. It's not exactly subtle.

Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at May 28, 2026 06:51 AM (D1E+2)
For these long distance move, that's a good idea. You are probably going to be shocked at how expensive that's going to be but it's a one-time cost and if you can swing it just shut up and pay it. That's what I did when I left Seattle for New Mexico. Also, if you live in a highly urban area like I did, I had to get a permit from the city so I could have a moving pan block the main road to the freeways (The stuff you will discover that you need to do are endless).
Also, everything in the apartment that has to be packed and ready to go when the movers show up. There are exactly zero exceptions to this rule. Hence, My suggestion that you start packing yesterday and use Home Depot boxes. Uniform boxes stack nicely in the apartment while you're waiting fto move.
A slick move is to have the moving company show up a bit after you close on the house. This means you need to pick very carefully where you're going to throw in the car when you move so you have a place to sit, and cook a bit of food. If the budget allows it, you might want to consider getting rid of your mattress and box spring and buy new ones in Indiana. That way you have a place to sleep.

Yeah, closing on the house before you actually move simplifies the timing tap dances you have to go through. I didn't have that luxury. You still have all the challenges though of hitting a specific date when everything has to be done. Totally worth the effort

Wednesday Night ONT - May 27, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans. The bar is open.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted and are eligible for comment of the week consideration. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. Will you be smarter after reading this ONT? Will you be better looking? Will you be more fun at parties?

Drop your rolls of film off and pick up your photos a few days later. Magic!]
Police in Louisiana were called to help round up a mystery emu spotted wandering the city streets. The Duson Police Department said on social media that officers responded Wednesday to help the Lafayette Animal Shelter & Care Center wrangle a loose emu. "Anyone missing an Emu? ID# 118962 found around the 300 block of B Robin in Duson," the shelter wrote on Facebook. "We don't know the sex. It's not housebroken. Someone please call us 337-291-5644 or come by to reclaim -- because our team and the dogs are very confused."
China's Tiangong Space Station is currently occupied by a group of artificial embryos, marking a major step in the quest to understand the ins and outs of reproduction in space. And while none of the embryo-like structures will ever develop into an actual person, the experiment should at least provide us with new insights into the impact of microgravity on early human development.
Previous research has shown that human, pig, and mouse sperm become disoriented in microgravity and are therefore less likely to be able to navigate the reproductive tract. A separate study found that jellyfish who spend their youth - or polyp stage - in space tend to experience vertigo when brought back to Earth, struggling to swim in a coherent manner. On the other hand, mouse sperm that was sent to the ISS has been successfully used to rear healthy pups on Earth, suggesting that exposure to cosmic radiation may not cause harmful levels of DNA damage. Mouse embryos were also seen to develop normally onboard the ISS for a period of four days, eventually becoming blastocysts - collections of cells that later develop into the fetus and placenta.I expect much related frivolity and observational humor in the comments. Do not disappoint me.
The ONT Fotomat staff will see all photos from rolls of film you drop off for development. Please keep this in mind when you ask the ONT Fotomat to develop your personal photos. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ??

The amorous grizzly scene near Yellowstone Lake caused a bear jam for at least a quarter mile in each direction for days this past week.

Establishing permanent human colonies off Earth means gravity different from 1g, and reproducing in it. That is likely going to be a big problem. You can assume there's some tolerance there. We just don't how big that tolerance is.
Ever biological process here has 1g has constant background given. And the evidence is that things just start going awry in something different from than 1g.
The Moon is about 1/6g. Mars is about 0.38g, call it 1/3.

Mexican Mulligan
1 cup of brown rice (before cooking). I use brown rice because I have teh Diabeetus. White okay if you don't.
Good slug of soy sauce (hey, this is a scientific recipe)
Good slug of Worcestershire sauce
1 cup of frozen pepper strips
1.5 pounds hamburger, drained
1 packet Williams chili seasoning (you can use another brand if you wish, and I will explain why you are wrong...heh)
1 can red beans
1 can diced tomatoes
Cook rice. When it's just about done, add the soy sauce, chili seasoning, and Wash-Your-Sister sauce. Stir well.
Cook hamburger separately, OR used canned cooked ground beef (with fat removed) OR canned corned beef. In this case I had a can of cooked ground beef in the emergency stockpile that needed to be used up.
Add meat, beans, and tomatoes.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes at least.
I used some torn-up pieces of whole wheat bread from the last batch I made in lieu of crackers.
Pretty tasty. Way more than one person can eat at a sitting. The rest will go into freezer containers.

whig quoted Bruen thusly: "When the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct. The government must then justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation."
Herein lies, perhaps, what I think is the quintessential perversion and usurpation by the courts. That last sentence. If the "Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation" violates the 2A, it's OK? In fact it is the *basis* for ruling on the 2A? To use a legal academic expression, WTFF?
So here's what the 2A *actually* says, I guess:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed, excepting insofar as such infringement is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.
How am I wrong here? 2A is not a firm or clear limit on government, it's a suggestion? If courts and legislatures have infringed it "historically", well, they can do that. (cont.)

The patron saint of weapons and firearms is Saint Sebastian. He was a Roman soldier and Christian martyr (died around 288 AD) who was sentenced to be executed by being shot with arrows. Over time, his patronage extended to firearms and anyone who works with or depends on weapons (hunters, law enforcement, military personnel, gunsmiths, etc.).
He is usually depicted tied to a tree or post, pierced with many arrows.

This seems to capture perfectly the court's legislative power, which is limited only by previous laws or rulings, regardless of how aberrant or baseless they were. NOT by the constitution itself.
As to all the other considerations, thanks for the commenters talking about them, I am aware of them. They can be summed up under "bad faith, lawless performance of duties" by the courts. Which has reached histrionic almost comical proportions, with the leaks in the abortion case and the gaming/delays of the VRA case.

sees this:
- A man in the queue; a little boy behind him plays with the baby cart and hits him repeatedly on the back of his heels - it hurts; the man tells the kid: "OK boy, be careful; it hurts."
- The boy takes no heed and goes on, harder.
— The man asks the mother: "Could you tell your boy to stop?" She replies: "Oh, I raise him to be a free person; I don't want to frustrate him."
- Another man behind the mother carefully opens the shampoo bottle he was carrying and pours it on her head, saying: "Oh yes, my mom raised me like this too."
- Then another lady, behind the shampoo man, hands him a small banknote, saying: "Take this — it's my share for the shampoo."

You should keep your eye on Harmeet Dhillon and the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. Doesn't get talked about much with everything else going on but she is actively pursuing 2A cases including the recently filed case against the state of Colorado and their unlawful magazine ban which in effect was an AR-15 ban.
Roughly 80% of the Civil Rights team resigned or was fired after Trump won but they are getting their mojo on now. And 2A rights are in her bullseye.

Yes. As far as archival quality goes, the main difference was that Kodachrome (Process K-14) was dyed during processing, rather than having the dyes put in the separate layers at the factory, as with Ektachrome/Fujichrome/Agfachrome/Process E-6 slide film (and Process C-41 color negative film). This meant that you could use Extreme Badass dyes rather than being limited to the pussboi dyes that would work in a so-called "integral tripack".
Process K-14 was a Rube Goldberg procedure of diffusing a colored dye into the film, then diffusing it back out, carefully rexposing the film to light during processing through colored filters built in to the film stack, and about a million other steps.
You needed trained chemists on staff to run a K-14 line. In practice, only Kodak itself and a few very large independent processors could afford to process it.
E-6 and C-41 could be processed by local labs, or even at home if you were a careful worker.

Too meaty for an ONT but whig's cite from the Bruen decision contained, as I said above, what seemed a clear statement of the judicial derailment and usurpation. Not just the 2A, but across the board, and not just recently.
If wildly unconstitutional laws were tolerated in the past, then they over-ride the constitution's clear language today. That's actually just part of the problem.
Constitution was designed and intended to be amended as needed. In some ways it has been. But in wide critical areas it's simply ignored, or "interpreted" out of common sense existence, when the populace clearly would be opposed to amending it. The 2A gives no cover whatsoever to this horseshit, so it might be the purest example.

It's been amply demonstrated to all of us over the last decade that we have a huge problem in our legal system, largely our judiciary. They routinely ignore black letter law, overstep their authority and ignore precedent. And why not, there is no downside to going yolo. Neither Roberts nor Congress has done squat to stop them and in some cases like FISA just keeps shoveling them money.
That's the next big problem we have on the to do list.

Well it is a currency par excellence. US Dollars aren’t as desirable by foreigners or foreign governments. Recall that when Obie paid off the Iranian mullahs, they wanted Swiss Francs and pallets of gold bullion. Stable. Not dollars. They take up a lot of room now, since $100 is the largest note, and barely buys a box of smokes.
Sometimes you’ll take a slight discount if you want to convert into local currency, but recognized gold coins are universal money everywhere. Very convenient for spooks paying off informants, and paying in dollars or other currencies might result in very awkward questions. Just guessing, mostly. But I doubt I’m mistaken, because I’m not.

Calif LOWERED the speed limit on some freeway in January.... now the limit switches from 65 to 70 all the time.
Fun Part? by Calif law if the speed limit is 65, Trucks with trailers have a 55 speed limit, but when it is 70, they can drive 70.
Also, by lowering the speed limit, people are on the road more time... thus more congestion... about 7% more which is noticeably.

Oh, right. No, the IDF tries/usually succeeds in being so precise it's considered a demerit if a high-value target hit takes out anyone else at all. Poor Lebanon. "Palestinians", then Iran, have ruined the place, and it's doubtful there'll be any real improvement in our lifetime.

I have a 500 gallon tank and AmeriGas fills it to 400.
At least AmeriGas has stopped using foreign call centers for customer service. A couple of years ago, I could not get it through their thick heads that my tank was down to 6% and we had a hard freeze coming. I eventually went to the local yard and taped a note on the door telling them we needed propane. 30 minutes later a guy from there called and said they were on their way.

Reuters further reported that the intercepted drones had been launched from Iran, marking another escalation in tensions as Washington moves to counter perceived threats to regional maritime traffic and its military presence.
Just prior to this confirmation, CNN described mystery explosions along Iran's coast:
Three explosions were heard to the east of Bandar Abbas, a strategic Iranian port city and naval base near the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported in the early hours of Thursday.
The blasts were reported at around 1:30 a.m. local time and caused the air defense systems of Bandar Abbas to be briefly activated, according to Fars, a media outlet with links to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

But they used American film! They had captured it from a crashed satellite or spy plane or somesuch. They couldn’t make film as thin as we could, or something like that.
If I remember correctly they took the shots, developed the film on the satellite itself, and then slow scanned the images via radio to the ground.
The earliest US spy satellites did a similar Rube Goldberg kind of thing, the film lacks being ejected by parachute and snatched up by airplanes. It was a big deal once they stopped using film. A lot of times, whatever they were trying to get intelligence on, the information was hopelessly stale or outdated by the time it had been retrieved, developed, and pored over by the spooks.

The car in the image is a green convertible from the late 1960s to early 1970s, featuring a sleek, low-profile body, chrome bumpers, and a rear design typical of European sports cars of that era. The styling cues — such as the tail lights, rear fender shape, and overall proportions — suggest it could be a model similar to an Alfa Romeo Spider or another small European roadster from the same period.
Key identifying features:
Two-door convertible body style
Chrome bumper with rubber guards
Distinctive rear tail light design
Wire-style or simple steel wheels
Compact, sporty proportions
Given the era of the Kodak Fotomat booth (popular in the 1970s), the car fits the aesthetic and automotive trends of that time.

What's almost amusing though is the weird combo of 1) no real leaks or info from our side about details 2) endless mostly incorrect leaks from various sources 3) instantaneous and sometimes amusing Iranian denials of all the leaked details (most of which cause panic among savvier sorts on our side).
There was a background briefing, finally, a few days ago, which was mildly concerning if taken at face value, which I don't. But the combo above has created a cycle of panic/Iranian repudiation/Trump returning to truculent trash talk that (presumably) calms the panicans. Kind of funny actually. Cannot recall a furrin' policy situation quite like it.

Clothing details had to be perfect. American (and British?) buttons were sewn on with an “X” pattern for example. The European, in parallel. The French would smoke a cigarette down to nothing, and a lot of Euros held their cigarettes differently than Americans, in the first two fingers. Stuff like that would get you arrested.
Your papers had to be perfect. Military aged males, well you had to have good reason not to be in the Army in the first place. What are you doing? Where are you going?

Then he said with a snarl
On his lips
'Nobody's Mister to me, Little Man!'
And he grabbed for the gun

But the Little Man's hand was like lightning,

Home tanks are sized in volume (gallons), so.it's easy to see what's going on. My 300 gallon tank only gets filled to 240 gallons.
The RV tanks are rated in weight, so the 80 % rule in pounds can only be defined at a particular temp, so they actually get filled to 4.6 gallons, which may or may not be 16#, depending on the temperature.

Yes, this is absolutely correct.
But the fact is, the point here, a 20 pound propane tank has this safety margin already factored in. Do you get it now?
They weren’t stupid when they designed these. There is no reason to fill a 20 pound propane tank with only 15 pounds, or any other fraction, other than to rip off the customer. Which is what they do.

In one close-quarters battle, the two sides were exchanging insults along with bullets grenades and bayonet thrusts. Typical exchange was "Roosevelt eats s**t!" to which the reply would be "Tojo eats s**t!". One time an American soldier mixed it up with "Tojo eats corned beef!" to which came the reply "Eleanor eats powdered eggs!". WTF? Clearly one of those Japanese had English skills.

Israel was my favorite by far, but time stood still in Oman. It could just as easily been 1023 as 2023. Another place wr never spent a dime on food. Strangers either paid for it in restaurants, or invited us into their homes before we set foot in a restaurant, or tbe owners would not take our money...or quit bringing food out.

Which is why I take *my* tank to my local propane dealer and have them fill it. It doesn't matter whether it has a bit of propane left in it, the tube under the valve extends down into the tank to the 80% level. When liquid comes out of the relief valve, it's as full as it's supposed to be. Then I pay for the exact amount of propane they just metered out. Those exchange tanks at the hardware or big box store (Blue Rhino, etc) is where you're getting taken. Note that they never actually tell you how much propane you're getting.
Note the the valve and associated tube is tank size specific. Basically the tube under the valve is longer for larger tanks.

I can get just short of 13 days running 24/7, on a catalytic heater set on low, provided it’s a full tank of 20 pounds. This is excellent fuel “mileage”, and I don’t need to run it 24/7 unless it gets truly cold. So it extends out to almost a month.
When they only fill it to 75% of their rated safe capacity, it just fucks up my fuel planning. There’s no reason for it, other than they are fuckheads.

Iranian drone/missile attack on Kuwait, reportedly a "response" to our hits. Presumably at a US base there.
Rumors that IRGC naval commander of the key district (5th) responsible for the Strait was permanently retired in our strike, but just rumor. We offed the IRGC navy chief during Round 1.

They have have changed the way spray cans are made now, and you rarely get an Earth-shattering Kaboom anymore. Usually just a valve melts out, and a brief jet of flame. At home, I put spray cans in my burn barrel all the time, because I can, and mostly I am denied the Kaboom.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 28, 2026 01:46 AM (8zz6B)
I personally am a big fan of "hot" ceasefires. Most of these have been in the MidEast (surprise!). In the No. 1 is the ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel. Naturally Hezb didn't follow the requirements from the get-go, so naturally the Israelis immediately responded, and continued to respond to Hezb's mostly clumsy attempts in south Lebanon. As in Gaza, Hezb has interwoven their military assets with civilian infrastructure, so some villages now look like Gaza, plus the main town.
Anyway it's been "hot" all the way. Don't have inside story of course but there has been US dipshi**ery along the way. A request to not bring down buildings (this is about Dahiyeh, the southern Beirut suburb, "Hezbollahland". For "PR" reasons. Stupid. Anyway, there've been some targeted hits there in any case.
We haven't attempted to seriously restrain Israeli action and won't. They're not going to live with being attacked daily by these idiots. One more reason Tehran must change management.

We got the yard mowed, mostly, before the rains hit. 'Nother round of deluge. We're in what dear old Mom used to call the monsoon season.
Checked another box on my iconic films list tonight. After years of seeing the sunglasses memes, I read that They Live was free for streaming on the tooyubes, so that's what we did. After starting another movie that was too trashy to finish. Like Stargate the other night, They Live was… all that I expected and less. Better than the trashy movie, anyway.

**Yes.** A 2025 Concerned Women for America report found ~41% of Netflix’s G-rated and TV-Y/TV-Y7 kids’ shows include LGBT characters, themes, or messaging.
Examples:
- *Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City* (trans character Banoffee, nonbinary Raisin Cane)
- *The Magic School Bus Rides Again* (same-sex moms, trans-coded chameleon)
- *Dead End: Paranormal Park* (trans lead)
- *The Baby-Sitters Club* (trans boy storyline)
- *Ridley Jones* (nonbinary character)
Netflix also has an official “LGBTQ+ Stories for Families” section.

Not really. The tank will smell realllly bad, and the carb is fubar, but I've dealt with worse. As long as the carb isn't rotted it can be brought back easy. I just brought a 1951 panhead back to life that sat for 15 years. If it was fuel injection you would be sooo screwed, but the carb would be easy. I would imagine it still has the stock CV carb, and they aren't too bad. Might have a clogged accelerator pump nozzle and jets, but no biggie. When you're ready we can conquer it.

Solid dark-horse possibility: Jackson tried to pull a 'prank' on Thomas, got confused, and gave her own address out of habit, basically SWATting herself.

1977, we (wife, 6 year old, 8 year old, me) were backpacking in the Desolation Wilderness above Tahoe in August when a big snowstorm came through. It was a real.adventure getting out from 15 miles from the closest road. The Forest Service pulled out an entire Boy Scout troop. 2 guys who were day hiking and not prepared died.
In August.

I'm calling shenanigans that this is even Islamic. Looks like tribal Bronze Age scapegoating to me, except with a water buffalo.
Islam has a completely different ritual, where they chuck stones at some pillar representing Satan.
There's sacrifice of cattle but those are not to represent unclean things they hate. It's to represent the taking of life necessary to sustain the people. (Like kosher butchery possibly, a Jewish 'ron might help here)
tl;dr a lot of subcontinental "Islam" is a thin veneer over tribal practices usually awful and inbred.

FBI Arrests CIA Official With $40 Million in Gold Bars
May 27, 2026 at 5:23 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
New York Times: “A senior C.I.A. official was arrested last week after investigators found hundreds of gold bars worth over $40 million stashed in his Virginia residence, a small fortune that he apparently brought home from work, according to court papers.”
“The official, David Rush, is being held in jail while he awaits a detention hearing in the coming days on charges of stealing public money by filling out fraudulent time sheets. The charging documents filed in Alexandria, Va., still leave a lot unanswered about his recent conduct.”

The DFL is profoundly shaken and devastated by the horrific shooting today at the Canterbury Park Expo Center. This senseless act of violence occurred during a sacred prayer service — a time meant for peace, reflection, and community — leaving one person fatally wounded. Our hearts are with the victim, their family, and the entire community traumatized by this tragedy.
We stand in absolute solidarity with Minnesota’s Muslim community during this dark hour. This attack is part of a deeply alarming national rise in threats and violence targeting mosques and other religious institutions. We stand in solidarity against this violence and remain committed to ensuring the safety of all Minnesotans.

He was “fronted” a pound of weed to sell from his dealer. But when he sold ounces - he didn’t use 28 grams per ounce, he used 31 grams (Troy) to an ounce.
He had a scale but was using the wrong standard. Oops. This starts to add up after a while. Ha!

Man, the muzzies have trouble with the feather kind of Indians, too? It's like they can't get along with anyone else.
For the non-Minnesotans, Canterbury Park is the horse-and-dog-racing track associated with the Mystic Lake (Sioux Indian) Casino. Also, congratulations on being non-Minnesotan.
And "DFL" is Democrat-Farmer-Labor, the MN branch of the normal Democrat party. But I suspect everyone here knew that already.

🚨 BREAKING: The DOJ has just launched a CRIMINAL investigation into E. Jean Carroll for PERJURY in her deranged lawsuits against Donald Trump
HOLY FAFO!! 🔥
AG Todd Blanche has RECUSED himself from this case. They CAN'T cry weaponization
You can tell CNN is devastated 🤣
"Our sources tell us that this investigation is focused on a 2022 deposition that Carroll gave where she said that she had not received any outside funding."
"Now, her lawyers later told the judge that she had in fact received funding for legal fees and expenses from billionaire Reid Hoffman."
"The judge overseeing this case ultimately said there were no issues with her credibility and blocked Trump lawyers from asking about this at trial."

A Royal Society research paper published May 20 suggests that T. rex, which averaged more than 40 feet long with arms stretching just 3 feet, naturally evolved smaller arms as its skull grew larger."
I bet some Experts came up with that. Anyway, T-Rex would look rather goofy with regular size arms, don't you think?

Former CIA officer accused of stealing 308 gold bars worth over $40 million.
He is accused of using cash, for operations he was in charge of, to buy gold bars. Instead of spending the money on informants or other secret expenses, he used the money to buy untraceable assets that he hid in his home.

Yep, the current big barge is named the Pegasus, and is what transports the SLS to the Cape. They've done this since the Apollo days, to the Shuttle, and to now.
The Saturn V transporting was a complicated thing. The SI-C (first stage) was built in Michoud. Now, the S-II and S-IVBs were made in California. The S-IVB (third stage) could be transported by air with that giant Supper Guppy. But not the S-II. That had to go the long way around down through the Panama Canal and back up the Gulf Coast. They had some special Navy vessel which did that.
Those huge stages were way too big for land transport across the country.

TEXAS SENATE RACE: Ken Paxton won 252 counties out of 254 with Cornyn only winning Travis County (Austin) and tiny Kenedy County (winning just 6 out of 8 votes). Cornyn and the Senate Republicans spent more money on this campaign than any other Senate campaign in history and lost by double digits. Imagine what the GOP could have done with that money in the 12 House toss-up seats. Embarrassing hubris on display in Texas - shame on you Cornyn, shame on you Thune.
9:01 AM · May 27, 2026
Politico (2022): Biden, in fact, also sees Cornyn as critical; the senator’s staff is in touch with the White House on guns and Biden recently described the Texan as a “rational Republican.”
“People are going to say what they’re going to say,” Cornyn said. “But I’m happy to be part of the coalition of the rational.”

James Webb was a great administrator. A veteran Democrat, he knew where all the bodies were buried in Congress, so to speak. So when it came to funding, for NASA appropriations - well, it was probably difficult to say “No”, if they knew what was good for them.

The Washington Post Style section asks the question:
"Did Trump pick the right blue for the Reflecting Pool? We asked a pool guy."
After reading through 1,221 words of TDS infused remarks, the Post finally gets to the point:
Per Swimming Pool Steve, the blue color President Trump picked is "going to very likely be a more sharp and accurate reflection versus the original gray color... What you’re going to see is a higher contrast to the light of the sky and clouds.”

Swimming Pool Steve said it, I believe it, and that settles it.

The old court case of US v Miller is where Scalia dredged up the firearms in common use language for arming militia in Heller, and that is now established as the historical test used for Scotus in 2A analysis.
Given semi automatic rifles have existed since the beginning of the 20th century, the recent attempts at banning semi automatic rifles doesn't meet the historical test for states to be allowed to ban them. Even the NFA act of 1934 and the GCA of 1968 did not do so.
That is where I would take my aim at. Demonstrating bans on semi automatic rifles and firearms are NOT historically based.

There’s this weird thing with liberals. Modern leftists anyhow. They don’t know how to think. I mean, there are basic building blocks to logic and reason, it doesn’t require a Big Brain or be an Einstein.
They seem to reject thinking at all now, in favor of emoting, and slogans. Thought ending cliches. I expect this if someone is 25, not when they are 45 or 55.
The implication was “Childless women (or homosexuals) should not be in charge of nations” and he knew he had to accept that thesis. And he didn’t like that idea too much.

Because the district courts have to use the case facts of the actual law, then use the specific formula in Bruen (2022), "We reiterate that the standard for applying the Second Amendment is as follows: When the Second Amendment’s plain text covers an individual’s conduct, the Constitution presumptively protects that conduct. The government must then justify its regulation by demonstrating that it is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation."

In short, they get away with it because they're in circuits that are dominated by left-leaning judges. So far, every challenge has failed at the circuit level so there is no circuit split to force (to whatever extent they can be forced) SCOTUS to tackle the issue head-on.
Posted by: Oddbob at May 27, 2026 10:00 PM (vTZFs)
That takes district courts doing fact finding, then courts of appeal reviewing it, then Scotus review if any. Takes years to work out in a lot of cases where you have jurisdictions and courts with an animosity toward a fundamental right. The lower courts figure they can't catch us all, the appellate courts gussy up the district court opinions in bloviation, and then Scotus sits on its ass for years. They did that with affirmative action too for far too long.

Scotus ignores that if it wants to on conflicts. Rule 10 is more an advisory guide to appellants than a hard fast rule on cert. It is more because you probably have about 4 justices that are supporters of the 2a--Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas, and Kavanaugh. Two that are wobbly, ACB and Roberts, and three that are hostile--Kagan, Action Jackson, and Sotomayor. It takes four votes to grant cert but you don't want to grant cert if you think the weaker justices will sign on to the hostiles. So you wait, sometimes years, for the best fact pattern to force the weak justices to vote your way.

Gay Weirdo James Talarico: All of Those "Cringey" Things I Said In the Past Few Years Are Either Completely True or Completely Out of Context
Via Twitchy, the Daily Wire reports that this Totally Real Authentic Bible-Believing Christian attends a church whose library contains gay groomer books.
More from the Daily Wire:
The Texas church where Democrat James Talarico has delivered his radical sermons is pushing radical gender ideology on children, featuring books filled with sexually explicit content and transgender ideology. Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the crucial Senate election in November, attends St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin. There, children have access to a library stocked with "banned books" that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex, according to a Daily Wire review of its offerings. Books found in the St. Andrew's catalog include the book "Gender Queer," which includes illustrations of oral sex and masturbation, and the book "All Boys Aren't Blue," which discusses anal rape and incest. "This Book Is Gay," has a chapter on the "ins and outs of gay sex," while the book "Becoming Nicole" tells the story of a gender-confused teen boy who identifies as girl with the support of his family. In "The Courage to Be Queer," the author claims that "God is queer." Other books in the church catalog include "This Book is Gay," "Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth," "Called OUT: The Voices and Gifts of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered Presbyterians," "The Courage to Be Queer," and "Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family." Talarico, looking to flip a Senate seat in a state President Donald Trump won by 14 points in 2024, has faced criticism over comments he made on transgender ideology. It will likely be a central theme in the campaign against him -- in his first speech as the official Republican nominee on Tuesday night, Republican Ken Paxton referred to Talarico as both "Six-Gender Jimmy" and "James Tala-FREAKO." Republican congressman Brandon Gill on the same stage went after Talarico over the Daily Wire report earlier this year on the time he said the thing he loved most in the world was "trans children." St. Andrew's, the church where Talarico delivered his sermon that asserted that "our trans community needs abortion care too," says it offers banned books so that children can find "affirmation in the books they read." It boasts that the books "shift our perspective, develop empathy, and see more clearly the call to justice among all people." "We are a safe haven for controversial narratives right in the heart of Texas, the state that takes the top prize in challenged books. Take a moment to browse our collection of banned books and see what you notice ... common themes ... particular experiences and identities being censored," the church says of its banned books collection. Talarico has voted in the state legislature against keeping men out of women's sports and claimed it was "abusive" and "destructive" if parents did not accept their child's alleged gender identity. He has also stated his belief that "god is nonbinary," and that Jesus was a "radical feminist."Here are some pages from this Groomer Manual. Literally every aspect of "Christianity" is, according to this gay pretender, a validation of homosexuality and transgenderism:
CBS: "In 2021, you said God is non-binary. What did you mean by that? Do you regret describing it that way?"

Only an idiot would fall for this. It’s not as if he even argued that God transcends any earthly classification. He purposely used the woke neologism for people who claim they don’t align with either "man" or "woman." https://t.co/Wsk4GtSydP
— David Harsanyi (@davidharsanyi) May 27, 2026
Tom FittonFrom that he gets "Jesus sayeth that we're all non-binary." He also says that Mary had to "give consent" to not abort Jesus:
@TomFitton
Leftist @jamestalarico again purposefully misquotes the Holy Bible to push devious falsehood God is transgender (in order to attack those who want to protect children from transgender extremist mutilation and abuse.) The passages he lies about are these: "For through faith you are all children of God in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free person, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendant, heirs according to the promise." Galatians, 3:26-29.

Hi everyone. I've been a conservative Christian my whole life, but I'm very concerned about the direction that Bush took this country in, and which McCain is threatening to take it. While I have never before voted for a Democrat of any kind, I'm so concerned about the state of the country that I have decided to vote for the moderate centrist common-sense Democrat Barack Obama. He will bring hope to the country and heal our wounds.Over and over and over and over -- the same canned script being pumped out by David Axelrod's army of Paid Election Interferers. We used to call this "Mobying" because Moby, the bald gay vegan techno musician no one ever liked, explicitly championed spamming the comments of news sites and blogs with fake messages to trick Christians into voting for the extinction of Western civilization. We saw a very clumsy effort from the Democrats to convince us that all straight truck-driving beer-drinking Real Men were totally supporting Noted He-Man Tim Walz. You will not be too terribly surprised to learn that the same Concerned Christian Conservative Seminar Commenters have been reactivated to boost the gay Satanic seminarian Talarico:
Ryan J Higgins, Ed.D.Former AOS commenter and now NR cuck Jeff Behar made a good point about Talarico: Every claim he makes about "Christianity" is "instrumental." What he means by that is that Talarico never talks about Christ except to twist his words to support a far-left/transgender extremist agenda item. He never talks about the sacrifice of Christ, nor the salvation he offers. He never asks for prayer nor offers them. No, to Talarico, the New Testament only exists to prefigure the Democrat Socialists' 2026 agenda. The Bible and Christ Himself only exist as a pretext for pushing far-left talking points about gays, transgenders, abortion, and veganism.
@ryanjhiggins I'm a straight white dude, a veteran who grew up in a military family on farms in the Midwest. Moved to Texas on a scholarship from the Army. I drive a truck, listen to country music, and love football. I dare anybody to call me UnAmerican, and I'm fully behind Talarico.

At least religion in Poland and eastward had some coolness about it because it was against the commies, but religion was fake and gay for younger people in East Germany, so they just gave up on it.

If he was a radical feminist why didn't he free the jewish women from their restrictive hebrew laws? They had to cover their heads in public and they couldn't worship in synagogue with men, they literally had to sit in the back by themselves and not participate.

Is this truly all republicans are capable of? Derisive nicknames? And why do they work so well with voters?

Talarico was born James Dell Collins in Round Rock, Texas on May 17, 1989, to Tamara (née Causey) and Steve Collins. Tamara left Steve, an abusive alcoholic, when James was seven weeks old, and a few months later she married Mark Talarico, who adopted James. Talarico, who took Mark's surname, attended Round Rock ISD schools and graduated from McNeil High School in Williamson County, Texas.
=============
I'd say the fact that Talarico adopted him, and that he's used it since at least HS, makes the use of the name reasonable. I will say that a woman - with an infant child - marrying a fella only a few months after divorcing the "abusive alcoholic" father is, perhaps, a bit suss on the surface.

Guess I'd better go drop some dough on Paxton's campaign and get a couple of signs for my yard. Thankfully, we have a fence and used to have big dogs - the liberal weenies are too afraid to come all the way up to the porch to steal/destroy stuff.
Most of them hate fences - even the one whose porch kitty met an untimely demise yesterday by the actions of a couple of roaming dogs.
They put up Ring camera videos of all of the miscreants who loitering on their porches and/or steal their Amazon packages, yet never make the connection that putting up a fence will deter that kind of stuff.
They are quick to call our Neighborhood Police Officer, but they hate ICE and want it refunded.
I honestly don't know how they keep their heads from exploding, what with all of the conflicting ideologies they cling to....

He has claimed multiple times that he has a girlfriend that no one has ever seen.
If he is gay he should run on that he would get a $hit ton of money from other democrat states to run on. Problem is he would flame out here in Texas.

He is a funhouse mirror of what Democrats think conservative Texans are; because none of them actually know any conservative Texans.
Watching them howl in despair as their ads fail, the ones about how Talafreako is Christ's own Christian while Paxon is a sinning sinner who sins, is going to be so funny.
Almost as funny as the increasingly excitable pitches for donations, tantalizing that Texas will turn blue.

People are paying attention to him because the Democrat Party's election apparatus is run by grifting grifters who's only objective is to separate donors big and small from their money, and the idea of a blue Texas still sells to left-leaning donors after more then 30 years of constant losses.

And he wasn't just "guy with R after his name".
The Bush wing of the party made him public enemy number one for years.
They went so far as to impeach him. And now...he won against incumbent senator Cornyn by 28 points.
Everything Democrats will drudge up is old news to Texas. They've heard it endlessly for a decade. Talarico is a fresh born babe in comparison, and he's already having to defend himself from the idea that he's a weird, Austinite freak.

"But the polls!! He leads both Paxon and Cornyn!!"
Yeah, the ones that all had him stuck at 44%?
Don't you think that his lead might have been due to not deciding on either Paxton or Cornyn?
And that's before we count that Paxton has already won multiple statewide races--the last decisively AFTER the impeachment smear.
But the Pants Pissers (like Errock Errockson) swear this means the RNC is going to have to divert millions and millions to TX to hold the seat.

Talarico was born James Dell Collins in Round Rock, Texas on May 17, 1989, to Tamara (née Causey) and Steve Collins. Tamara left Steve, an abusive alcoholic, when James was seven weeks old, and a few months later she married Mark Talarico, who adopted James. Talarico, who took Mark's surname, attended Round Rock ISD schools and graduated from McNeil High School in Williamson County, Texas.
Holy f**k. This turd blossom grew up in my old neighborhood. I lived in Round Rock from 1982-1990; i was in RRISD when it was just 2 high schools though; Westwood High (the Wastewood Wussies) and Round Rock High (Go Dragons!) I'm actually a bit annoyed this turd is from my adopted hometown.

It's my understanding that that play is so old by this point, it's just how Democrats run statewide in Texas now. The modern TX party literally doesn't know anything else, and they went all out to prevent an alternative attempt with Crockett.

Even that's not quite true about CA. The last time Republicans had durable majorities in the CA legislature was in the 1950s. It was a Republican state in the first half of the 20th Century, but they were Progressive Republicans like Earl Warren [spit].
Reagan was one of three Republican Governors who managed to win two terms in office (and six out of eight terms from 1967 to 1999), but they usually had to deal with Democratic legislatures, and the Brown family were winning governor races for Democrats before, during and after this period as well.
For some reason CA voted Republican in every presidential election from 1968 to 1988, but the state was NOT and never has been "rocked ribbed conservative". A lot of Democrats in Texas 60 years ago were probably more conservative 60 years ago than CA Republicans.

Practice, for one thing.
I’m old enough to remember a period or time in the early 1970s when “UniSex” clothing and fashions were all the rage. Or at least the usual suspects told us they should be. Some ideas are “ahead of their time”. They don’t quit is the point.
Somebody really, really wants to splinter what remains of the traditional or historical religious backbone in America. At one time it was an unbelievably powerful and formidable force in politics. Guys like Talarico are how you do that. Notice he just sort of popped up seemingly out of nowhere, and is getting all sorts of publicity?

Partisans don't change their votes, and America is deeply partisan.
Senate races drive up turnout to match PVI of the state overall, so turnout differentials in midterms disappear.
That means 2026 is far more likely to resemble the 2024 presidential results than the 2018 senate results.

Yeah, I was talking about senate.
OH will be a case study where there will probably be some divergence between the two races. Vivek will most likely run behind the senate race, but OH is so red that base partisanship and the increased turnout from the senate race should pull him over the line against Acton.
NC will be interesting, though. Senate race. No governor race, but former governor is the Dem candidate with Republicans winning the registration game 90% of the weeks since the last election where Trump won the last federal race in the state by 3. Last time Cooper won statewide, there were 400,000 more Democrats than Republicans in the state. There are now 10,000 more Republicans than Democrats. He won his last governor's race by 250,000.

This is either prima facie evidence that Trump stole the state (while choosing to...not steal the governorship), or evidence that state level races are viewed far less partisanly by voters.

I suspect - if there is a Supreme Being - he don't care much about our little Nation States and such.
Those that say otherwise remind of those with Fool Proof Betting Systems at the horse track. They don't know. But they believe.

In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Also, since you are Christ’s family, then you are Abraham’s famous “descendant,” heirs according to the covenant promises.

I think he's represented his state well since a few years after the crash of 2008. (Nationalize the banks, he said...oh boy...)
He's effectively a backbencher at this point for all the noise he makes now, which is just this side of none. He just hitched himself to Trump once he realized that Trump was the future of the party (which took longer than some, but a lot less than many others), cheered when Trump bombed someone, voted for all the judicial nominees without complaint, and generally just developed a seemingly warm professional relationship with the party's standard bearer.

Massie married his current wife about a year and a half after his first wife died. Year and a half to meet her, court her, propose to her, and then plan and hold the wedding. Leaving a couple of weeks or so to mourn.

Mix that with his general ability to appeal to people in his state through keeping his presence (he visits VA hospitals regularly, I have a friend who met him that way when she was a secretary at one in Charleston), has the best constituent services operation in maybe the nation (inherited from Strom Thurmond), and does everything he can to keep close to the military community in the state.
He's set.
He's going to win this primary by 60 points, and he should be set for the next one in 2032, too.

“If someone’s got a problem with that statement…they should take it up with the Apostle Paul.”

The Apostle Paul wasn't trying to get the ancient Celtic people/warriors who settled in Turkey into Christianity? I think it's a pretty safe bet.
Anyway, if James cares to quote correctly from the New Testament and apply the scripture -
Matthew 7:15, Jesus warns His followers to beware of false prophets who appear harmless and godly on the outside but are "ravenous wolves" on the inside.
2 Peter 2:1 warns that false teachers will secretly introduce dangerous heresies, ultimately bringing destruction upon themselves.
Perhaps the good folks of Texas should be preparing false prophet signs for when James comes out to speak or debate.
I certainly would.

"Doctor" Jill Biden Continues the Family Business of Lying, Claiming She Had "Never, Ever" Seen Joe Biden As Confused As He Was During the 2024 Debate, "Before or Since"
She claims she was so "frightened" of what she was seeing from Joe Biden -- that she'd never, ever seen before -- that she thought he was having a stroke.
I think he's had a lot of strokes. This is all a gigantic lie, obviously. She has been banished from the Democrat Party and the Democrat Media and she needs to be in their good graces when Sheriff Joe kicks it. Also, these lines were obviously pre-scripted and repeated numerous times, with political operatives coaching her on how emphatically to say "never, ever." And to also say "I don't know" when asked well, what did you think was going on when you saw this completely unprecedented mental fogginess?
Jill Biden to CBS on the 2024 debate: “I was frightened because I had never seen Joe like that... I thought he was having a stroke."
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) May 27, 2026

If she questioned it at the time, she was an awful person who was only helping Trump. Fuck these people. Remember how it was the same way with Fetterman?
And then immediately after the debate she was like “Great job Joe, you answered every question.” Great work, lady. You sure are a woman of conviction.
Joe Biden is about as decent a man as you’ll find in politics at that level, but he should have just done one term and given a whole field of candidates the runway to build on his victories. There would have been no shame in being a consequential one term president. Instead we’re here and hubris was a big part of why.
>In fairness after J6 nobody thought Trump had a chance. I knew with 100% certainty that if he was not prosecuted and incarcerated for his actions on January 6th alone, he would ascend to godhood in the eyes of MAGA and crush the impotent administration that let him walk in the next election.
Why are these people still doing interviews like this? Who cares? CBS news is right wing trash.

This remains one of the top exhibits in how far from reality the left is, how they will refuse to see any facts that deviate from the "accepted truth."
No one but a deeply delusional Democrat would ever say Joe was a decent man.
Ever.
There is literally no evidence anywhere from any time in his life he was "decent."
But more than that, just try getting them to admit that Joe himself promised a single term when he was running for the nomination.

Yet another person who thinks a reasonable doubt allows for slapping together snippets of a speech to conclude intent.
Trying Trump on incitement, because libs over the years have made incitement harder and harder to prove, would have been one of their biggest blinders yet.
They want Trump incarcerated for *speech*.

Today of course there's AOC, the entire Black Caucus, and others I just don't know of.
But almost none of those named are as vile and nasty as the idiot Biden. Senators didn't trust him, in the most basic sense.
If the country hadn't already beclowned itself beyond redemption with Obama (and the hysteria that partly made him possible), allowing Biden to be installed as prez would have been the nail in the coffin. As it was it just made the rubble bounce.*

I believe two big reasons he ran for the 2nd term were because she wanted to keep the perks and the power (which is why she wanted him to run in 2018/2019), and because Joe being in public office benefited pretty much the entire Biden family: kids, siblings, etc. Out he goes, and the money dries up, which it did.

People with vascular dementia live longer than is typical with an Alzheimer's diagnosis. I suspect most of Biden's is vascular due to a similarity in my mom's progression with that diagnosis. Spent a lot of time with top notch docs at a specialty clinic. About the only sure way to determine mixed dementia (most people have this) is apparently a brain PET scan.

This was back in the Summer of Love, and I was hitchhiking to Woodstock outside of the steel foundry where I got cancer from a dirty furnace, when this VW bus with flowers on the side pulls up.
Anyway, we run out of gas on this farm, and then - would you believe it? - a ghostly alien starts terrorizing us. Well, I put on my aviators and dragged that Russian sonofabitch into a wind tunnel, and started beating him with a chain. It turns out it's not a ghost alien... it's Trump! He was just trying to scare people off the farm so he could sell it to the Air Force at a gouged price.
Back in those days, Democrats took action, so I told him "listen jack - nobody rips off the taxpayer. Not on my watch!" And then I beat him to death. Afterward, I was so aroused that I banged that drugged-out hippie fella in the van, and 9 months later, Hunter was born. I also banged that dog.

Rice was the NSA, Jarrett took the lead on Iran and domestic politics. Holder dealt with Justice. Biden's guy , Ron Klain, was his Chief of Staff for the first two years and then replaced by a guy named Zients.
Zients was probably brought in to try to coordinate economic policy after the horrendous inflation and shortages between Powell and Yellen.

I'd imagine that Obama was the middle man between the big donors like Soros, Steyer, etc. who relayed information to the vast number of undersecretaries,etc. under his administration and his former cabinet types like Holder and lawfare inc dealt with corresponding current cabinet types like Garland.

Two Tier Injustice: In the UK, a Sikh Robbed a Man and Stabbed Him. When Police Approached, the Sikh Claimed the Man Bleeding Out on the Street Was a Racist.
So the Police Handcuffed the Victim and Watched as he Bled Out.
The man was Sikh, not Muslim, but he was obviously using the UK's Two-Tier Justice scheme to enlist the state as his accomplices in robbing, stabbing, and ultimately murdering a native Brit.
Reportedly, there is audiotape of the man on the ground -- now handcuffed and in even more discomfort -- pleading to the police that he needs aid because he's been stabbed. "I don't think so, mate," the cop responds, as the man's life oozes out of him. The Sikh man claimed the victim had racially abused him which, in his mind as well as in the minds of the cops, justified stabbing him.So: Was it true that the Sikh had robbed and stabbed the man? It turns out the victim's phone was found on the person of the innocent Sikh who was justifiably defending himself from "racial abuse" so make up your own minds.
Visegrád 24Another satisfied customer of the Cultural Enrichment Murder and Rape Machine.
@visegrad24 May 21 🇬🇧 Graphic details emerge in the trial of Vickrum Digwa, accused of murdering the Polish-British student Henry Nowak A jury has been shown mobile phone footage of the confrontation. Digwa told the court he was carrying a 21cm kirpan (a Sikh ceremonial blade) around his neck and feared Nowak would use it against him. "I thought I had to do something because I was afraid that he was going to stab me with my own kirpan," he said. He denies intentionally stabbing Nowak in the chest, claiming he only pushed him away during the struggle. Nowak attempted to flee the scene, climbing over a fence while Digwa was still stabbing him Police initially handcuffed Nowak while he was on the ground, bleeding out, due to Digwa claiming that Nowak was a racist attacker. The court also heard allegations that Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, removed the kirpan from the scene after the stabbing. She denies assisting an offender.
He had to defend himself from the racial abuse by stabbing the man three times... in the back. As he tried to escape. The guy had six stab wounds in his body but the cops were focused on handcuffing The Real Criminal Here.
Sikh man accused of murdering university student with 8-inch ceremonial knife used racism as his 'trump card' to ensure police arrested his dying victim instead, court hears
A Sikh man accused of murdering a university student with a ceremonial knife used racism as his 'trump card' to ensure police arrested his dying victim instead, a court has heard. Prosecutors said Vickrum Digwa, 23, was 'skilled' with blades when he came to murder Henry Nowak, 18, having trained with weapons since he was 12. Digwa is on trial accused of stabbing Mr Nowak three times in the front and three times in the back during a street confrontation.
The man "drowned in his own blood." He could have been saved, but the police were too busy comforting his murderer. Note that while knives are illegal in the UK, Sikhs are granted a special right to carry their religious knives. Two-Tier Justice. I wonder why:
In his closing speech to jurors at Southampton Crown Court, Nicholas Lobbenberg KC said Digwa must have known the wounds were fatal, despite denying stabbing Mr Nowak at the scene. He said Digwa used racism as his 'trump card', accusing Mr Nowak of racial abuse when police officers arrived so they would arrest the wrong man - a 'wicked lie about a dying man'. Digwa was said to 'sleep in his bedroom with an arsenal of weapons' and spoke about the Kirpan - a type of ceremonial dagger carried by Sikhs - allegedly used to kill Mr Nowak in 'loving terms'.
The finance student was on his way home from a night out when Digwa stabbed him multiple times with the religious blade, prosecutors have said. Jurors were told that Digwa filmed his victim as he tried to escape by jumping over a fence, leaving behind a trail of blood in Southampton. Mr Nowak was shouting that he was 'going to die', causing his neighbours to call the police - but when the officers arrived they arrested him over the bogus racist abuse allegation. Soon after he was handcuffed, the University of Southampton student collapsed and died from his injuries.
Prosecutors also allege that Digwa's mother, Kiran Kaur, 53, took the blade from her son at the scene and ran to hide it with 'an arsenal of weapons' at their home address. Digwa is charged with murder and possession of a bladed article, and his mother is charged with assisting an offender. Both defendants deny the charges.
... Mr Lobbenberg said that Digwa had lied about Mr Nowak being drunk that night and he was actually under the legal limit of alcohol to drive. He said: 'The biggest lie, ladies and gentlemen, is why he drew his knife. He told you from that witness box, Henry Nowak said he was going to kill me. He was going to f*** me up. 'We suggest that was never said. You can be sure it was never said because why, if it had been said, would you not tell the 999 operator the most important thing as to why you acted. 'He didn't tell the police at the scene who were asking. He didn't tell his brother when he was saying what happened. 'If this was in the forefront of his mind, seared into his memory, why wouldn't you tell someone. 'Instead, he didn't even put the threat to kill in his defence case statement. 'It came from him for the first time in the witness box.' Mr Lobbenberg said that there was a stream of lies from Digwa starting from the minutes after the incident. He said: 'We say this, "drunk" is a lie, "going to kill me" is a lie and we say "P***" is a lie. The consequence and purpose of these lies is significant. 'Why he tells them is he is seeking to hide what he has done. 'And racism was his trump card to try to make sure what he had done was lawful. 'We say that was a wicked lie about a dying man and it is a wicked lie about a dead man to you now.' Mr Lobbenberg said that Mr Nowak was an 'unarmed young man with a phone'.

UK Authorities Issue Stern Warning To British People To Stop Being Stabbed By Muslims
LONDON -- In the wake of yet another deadly stabbing of a British citizen at the hands of a migrant, authorities in the United Kingdom issued a stern warning to all native residents to stop being stabbed to death by Muslims. The latest horrific incident was just the most recent in an ongoing pattern of violence perpetrated by Muslim migrants, leading the British government to warn the public of dire consequences if they refuse to stop being stabbed by foreign invaders. "All these people being stabbed need to knock it off," said London's Metropolitan Police Service spokesman Basil Hetherington. "We have simply had enough of this nonsense. If these individuals who keep getting stabbed and slashed to death by crazed, violent migrants don't curb their disruptive behavior immediately, there will be severe repercussions. We cannot have these incidents continue to happen throughout our communities, and therefore warn all stabbing victims to stop being stabbed, posthaste." ... At publishing time, the UK authorities had issued a full public apology to the migrant perpetrators for any additional difficulties they had endured while carrying out their deadly stabbings.
Well done to @RobertJenrick for raising this in Parliament.

Sikhs are badasses (as noted, they have a religious requirement to carry a knife) but as I understand it that's mostly due to their history in defending themselves against Muslims.

"Kaur" is a surname that all Sikh women have, just as all Sikh men have the surname "Singh". It's more of a title, like "Mr." or "Mrs."
"Singh" means "lion". "Kaur" literally means "princess", but is often translated as "lioness".

Will the British political system successfully shield the police who did this identification and consequences for the police who did this, and for the officials who created the policy that led to it? Their bureaucracies appear to be more opaque than ours.
I'm also kind of wondering about the ethnicity of the cops. Maybe they didn't mind if a white guy died, for tribal reasons.
Yeah, tribal. Most of the world is tribal, and it's time to stop pretending otherwise. The mother took the knife from the scene as if her son had had an accident while out hunting deer. It's kind of interesting that she cleaned and kept the murder weapon, instead of throwing it away. I think the family regarded the knife more highly after it was used to kill.

Now, it's become if you even *seem* like you could be against the narrative, you're fair game. This guy didn't do anything, but he was white, and the killer was a foreigner, so... justice was served, and police needn't worry their pretty little heads about a Sikh taking out the white trash.
This is why a white football player in NYC making a pro forma introduction for a duly elected President is SCANDALOUS.
Dude didn't even say anything inflammatory, but everyone seeing that knew he was asking every skel in quiet city Gotham to attack him with a deadly weapon. So everyone, friend and foe alike, just says "oof, watch your back, asshole. You shouldn't have poked your head up."

India is a cesspool of unchecked organized crime that is currently spreading quickly across the globe. The main crime family is the Bishnoi Syndicate. At 33 years old, Lawrence Bishnoi is considered one of the most powerful and active contemporary mob bosses in India. He runs it from jail, and has well over 1000 members at this point. It's almost comical in a dark way that they run it just like the gangsters from the 1920's US. For example, right now the big thing in Canada is for Bishnoi members to set up protection rackets in small Canadian towns. Pay, or we burn you out sort of stuff. Bishnoi runs a lot of double brokering on US trucking companies. Steals cargo. Also, big on insurance fraud in the US.

Lot of them in the scam trucking business in the US. Use Singh and truck accidents as a search term.
People tend to idolize minority groups in other countries like the Kurds with the idea if other people from that society loathe a minority, then they must be okay.
This can be an amusing game, for example, ask a Euro about someone from perhaps Morocco or Syria, and you might get some explanation of how oppressed they were etc. But ask them about gypsies, Euros start foaming at the mouth wanting them all dead.
Not all culture are the same nor is the degree a minority is 'oppressed' a measure of their virtues if imported here.
Same crap with the Afghanis we brought here from Afghanistan then we get confused when they act like Afghanis do back home.

🇬🇧 More than 130 thousand people gathered for George Floyd in London in 2020, despite the COVID epidemic. And there has not been a single dedicated gathering of that scale in honor of Henry Nowak.
Both of them uttered, "I can't breathe" as their last words. The population of London showed massive support for George Floyd, whose case doesn't even concern the UK.
Yet, London did not care to protest for a British citizen who lost his life due to British problems like knife crime and police incompetence.

Maybe Sikhs on average are better than other people from India, but they are still tribal, and loyalty to their tribe comes first. They do not appear to have a problem with being manipulative a dishonest to people outside their family and tribe. Witness the large number of incompetent and illiterate illegal alien, turban-wearing truck drivers in this country named Singh. It isn't just the ruthless abuse of the system -- it's also, when they stupidly kill someone with their truck, it means nothing to them, like they hit a deer.

Doesn't change the fact that they can murder or rape in the UK with impunity, and in many places here.
Easiest answer is to stop allowing foreigners in, and clear out as many as we can before they become citizens.
We have enough of our own criminals to deal with, and at least American ones theoretically have the same rights as us, instead of the special carte-blanche that comes with a foreign birth certificate.

"We're afraid that the Republican in the state with the third most name recognition behind the governor and junior senator is going to be hit with news stories from several years ago that state-level press flooded the zone with in order to destroy him repeatedly over the last decade meaning that his last election, where he won by 10%, will be undone by a weird, creepy, heretical gnome who's going to spend the next five months explaining why he thinks trans-children are sexy."

She snuck the knife from the scene, took it home, washed the blood off, and hid it among their other knives.
Which home was close enough that the whole family had rushed to the scene to defend the killer.
With his brothers leading the accusations of racism to the police.
Intentionally distracting the police while the victim died.
The whole dirty trash family needs deported to hell.

My local hadji mart is owned by a Poshtu but was financed by Sikh mafia. I was present for one of their collection attempts. Probably the closest I have ever been to pulling my piece.
Dude hid in the bathroom and left the poor kid working the counter to hand over the envelope. While the heavies went through and threw shit on the floor. I was playing video poker with one hand on my pistol and one on the machine wishing I had brought my phone. They never got near me though.

Peggy Flanagan (D) is now effectively the DFL Endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota.
This is significant because we are set to see a bloody primary on the Democrat’s side of the isle going into August.
If Republicans manage to endorse Michele Tafoya this weekend in Duluth, we will have a significant fundraising advantage going into November with Democrats in a circular squad.

You know that fucktard Paul Erlich and his stupid cash-grab book The Population Bomb? Thank unrepentant commie racism and India for that. At the beginning of the book, he talks openly about how he realized that overpopulation was a problem when he was walking the streets of Bombay looking out at "a sea of brown faces". Yes, that racist asshole used that exact phrase.
On the other hand, yeah he had a point with the dot Indians. Still, as philthy as many of them are (NEVER stand downwind), I'd take the Sikhs over the mohammedans any day of the week. Sikhs might stab you or run you over with a semi, but they're not trying to destroy Western Civilization.

IMO it is a mixed bag.
India has massive fraud with everything so a bunch of the people coming over can't really do the jobs they are hired for, but I've know some good Indian coders, analysts, etc.
But I have noticed a large number of upper caste Indian AWFLs leading "anti-racism" orgs. Because, of course, racism is such a problem for people from India in the US.
Now, here's a funny thing to throw back at them - the left for a long time has argued that if you can show disparate impact it is prima facie evidence of racial discrimination.
But...Indian immigrants to the US make significantly more then the US median. So obviously they are discriminating against non-Indians right?

Ken Dilanian: Kash Patel Has Fired a Completely Non-Partisan FBI Analyst For No Other Reason Than Disagreeing with Him About a "Shooter's Motive" Ten Years Ago
That's the headline/digest this CIA operative and FusionGPS asset posted on Twitter to advertise his MSNOW article.
Based on that headline, would you care to guess who that shooter might have been, and what disagreement there might have been about his motive? To help you out, the shooting he's talking about happened in 2017, not quite ten years ago. Do you have your answer? Further hint: This analyst claimed the shooter wasn't a domestic terrorist with any political motive, but was simply shooting rando targets in order to get police to kill him. That is, "suicide by cop." Yes, he's talking about a Democrat operative who refused to acknowledge that the James Hodgkinson III, the man who shot up Republicans at a softball practice and hit Steve Scalise five times, wasn't Aksually a Rachel Maddow fan and Bernie Sanders volunteer who hated Republicans, but just a man with no discernible motive other than seeking to end his own life in the most convoluted manner possible.FBI fires analyst who worked 2017 case of shooting at congressional baseball practice The shooting, which seriously injured Rep. Steve Scalise, was not labeled domestic terrorism at the time, angering GOP lawmakers. Ken Dilanian FBI Director Kash Patel last week fired a senior intelligence analyst who played a role in the FBI's 2017 assessment of the motives of the gunman who attacked a House Republican baseball practice, a report that drew the ire of the GOP because it did not label the incident as domestic terrorism. Four people familiar with the matter said Deputy Assistant Director Emily Morales received a letter from Patel on Friday ending her FBI employment, after which she turned in her badge and was "walked out" by FBI security, as is standard practice. Morales could not be reached for comment. It was unclear whether the letter cited her role in the 2017 assessment, but the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss a personnel matter, said her removal was widely perceived inside the bureau as the latest in a series of firings of nonpartisan FBI agents who did their jobs in a way that drew disfavor from President Donald Trump or Republicans. MS NOW reported five months ago that Tonya Ugoretz, who was the assistant director in charge of the Intelligence Directorate, was removed because of her role in withdrawing a thinly sourced intelligence report alleging that China tried to flood the United States with fake driver's licenses in order to promote fraud in the 2020 election. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has boasted that the FBI forced out every agent who worked on the criminal investigations of Trump that resulted in indictments. Former acting director Brian Driscoll and other former agents are suing the bureau and Patel, alleging they were fired for political reasons. The FBI Agents Association has asserted that many of these firings were illegal. The FBI declined to comment on personnel matters. In June 2017, James Hodgkinson opened fire on a Republican congressional baseball practice in Alexandria, Virginia, shooting four people, including two Capitol Police officers and Congressman Steve Scalise. Hodgkinson was shot and killed by police. Although he had a history of criticizing Republicans and was carrying a list of Republican lawmakers in his pocket, the FBI initially did not label Hodgkinson a domestic terrorist.Oh is that all the evidence? Is that it? Just a history of hatred of Republicans and a list of Republicans in his pocket to murder? Oh -- and also, being an MSNBC Super-Fan, particularly of lesbian antiamerican communist Rachel Maddow.
An FBI official briefing Congress described what happened as "suicide by cop," according to a report by House Republicans issued last March. In 2021, the FBI provided a statement to the House Appropriations Committee which read, "The shooter was motivated by a desire to commit an attack on Members of Congress. ... This conduct is something that we would today characterize as a domestic terrorism event." Then-FBI Director Christopher Wray explained to Congress that the incident did not fit the FBI's definition of domestic terrorism at the time, but that the definition had evolved. The report by House Republicans was deeply critical of the FBI, saying, "The FBI case file makes clear this case was a premeditated assassination attempt on Republican congressmen by a radical, left-wing political extremist, who was seeking to affect the conduct of our government."It's incredible that they lied about this. It's even more incredible that they continue lying about this.
Not domestic terrorism? The maniac asked if it was "Republicans or Democrats out there." Learning it was the Republican team, the shooter proceeded to the field and fired over 60 rounds into the Republicans. pic.twitter.com/gzz0YNYYe2

Then-FBI Director Christopher Wray explained to Congress that the incident did not fit the FBI's definition of domestic terrorism at the time, but that the definition had evolved.
Wray's definition of domestic terrorism is that violence against Republicans does not apply, because it's not terrorism, Democrat Party operatives would never engage in violence, and those Republicans deserve to die anyway.

Based on the available search results, there is no evidence that the "Hitler reacts" (Downfall) meme has been specifically used to parody or react to the controversy surrounding Graham Platner (the Maine Senate candidate often jokingly referred to as "Herr Oberoysterfuhrer" in online discussions due to his oyster farm and tattoo controversy).

I read an interesting biography, authored by a leftist who kept “exposing” all these horrible, terrible things Hoover did. Often, I found myself thinking “This is Fucking Awesome!”, or at best he didn’t understand how top secret information is handled, not even a little bit.
One of his digs, was that (somehow) Hoover withheld intelligence purposefully that Japan was going to attack Pearl Harbor. That did not happen.
He also made the charge that Hoover made the Bureau look like they had cracked the Nazi spy ring that had landed on the East coast, when in fact George Dasch had surrendered.
That much is true, or both can be true. Undoubtedly the idea at the time, was to prevent the Nazis from learning about the surrender. You want the Enemy to believe these guys were rounded up immediately.
Anyhoo, what I’m getting at, we need guys like Hoover today. Yes, he was an asshole. I’m starting to get a man crush on G. Gordon Liddy, too. (No Homo!)

Garbled in transmission, it should have been read as : Trust Wray as he is reliably a traitor to the US.
Still wonder who exactly was behind that shady ops because Trump never formally denounced it and the left never claimed it as an op. The whole thing goes back to a NKVD op during Lenin's time.
So my guess is a group of individuals that Trump may have thought were on his side but actually were not in his first term. They weren't on the Dem side directly either. And I have my suspicions exactly the public faces of that group.
Think former intel officers of Uncle Sam.

The Soviets had a spy at the highest level in the Nazi regime. Nobody is quite sure who it was, but undoubtedly someone very highly placed. Nicknamed “Werther”, eventually Stalin learned to trust the information provided. It was a gold mine. He was getting high level info even before it could be disseminated to German commanders.
One of the few possibilities is, get this - Martin Bormann. Who conveniently was never found, or at least there is some dispute.

NPR: For far-right extremists, the rise of a new enemy: Women.
...last week's attack on a California mosque illustrates a violent ideology and playbook...A 75-page typewritten document...and a livestreamed video showing the attack show extensive grounding in far-right, neo-Nazi thinking.
But one facet of the ideology...has been left out of much mainstream coverage.
"He just flat out says he hates women and that they're the devil and they're destroying everything. And this is an important thing, because that kind of misogyny did not exist in white supremacist circles, say, 10, 15 years ago,"
it is comparable to antisemitism, a foundational underpinning of white nationalist thinking that is rooted in conspiracy theories. Antisemitism has been an essential ideological component behind white supremacist attacks at mosques, retail establishments frequented by African Americans and Latinos, gay bars and schools.
"We've seen similar kinds of conspiratorial thinking about women 'pulling the strings behind the scenes'...the targeting of a mosque in San Diego is something that is interrelated not only with Islamophobia, but also with antisemitism and deep misogyny."

Republicans may be marginally better, but still, I think that even if Adam Hamawy blew himself up on the floor of the House and killed everyone, it would 'just' be a tragic loss of human life. They are all precious in the eyes of God, but rather replaceable in their function. They don't really possess paramilitary target value.

DNS attacks are becoming very frequent as too many internet ignorant people don't secure their networks nor their connected devices. And to be fair, the mfg don't help at all with security issues but leaving default passwords or easily cracked ones on accounts, internet routers, internet connected devices like TVs, etc. are asking those to be enrolled in a botnet.
As home internet enters gig or faster speeds, a compromised refrigerator can spew out an amazing number of IP requests while the owner of the device wonders why their internet is slow and spotty. So they pay to upgrade, service doesn't improve, and so on.

FBI is too crude by half with their games and part of that is the deterioration of education. Same goes for CIA types. My guess is probably people formerly related to military intelligence and a particular search index that shut down shortly after the Biden admin took office. If it had been a Dem affiliated op from the tech industry or party, it would have leaked as owning the stupid Right.
It didn't. That makes me think the people behind it knew opsec which the CIA pays lip service to and the FBI ignores. So that leaves foreign intel or US former military types.

Leading NJ Democrat Congressional Candidate Volunteered to Join an Al Qaeda Terrorist Front Group
This guy was also a character witness -- a positive character witness, mind you -- for the "Blind Sheikh" terrorist who was the mastermind behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Muslim terrorists' first attempt to bring down the towers. In case you forgot, they parked vans filled with explosives next to the pillars that supported the entire WTC, which went up from the bedrock through the underground parking garages and then through the entire towers. The plan would have worked, except that they just didn't bring enough explosives. Just eight years later, Osama bin Ladin would perfect the plan by using planes as the bombs. And what a shock, this loyal Muslim citizen who Shares Our Values and certainly would not support terrorism turns out to in fact support terrorism. And Democrats are about to make him a Member of Congress, with the ability to smuggle bombs into Congress itself.Oh, I guess there was a plan for a whole series of bombings, after the attempt to destroy the towers and kill 6000 or more people. (Remember, if this plan had worked, there would have been no evacuation time to get out of the building before it collapsed).
Leading N.J. Dem Congressional candidate Adam Hamawy volunteered with Al-Qaida-tied group in Bosnia After traveling with the 'Blind Sheikh,' Hamawy worked with Benevolence International Foundation, later shuttered as an Al-Qaida front
Adam Hamawy's past relationship with terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman has loomed over his rapid rise in the race to succeed retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ). Their relationship spanned a 1991 road trip the two took together to Detroit, Hamawy's service as the sheikh's translator for a press conference in which Abdel-Rahman denied any role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and Hamawy's testimony on the sheikh's behalf at his 1995 trial, where the Islamist leader was convicted of plotting to carry out a campaign of terrorist attacks in New York City.
IIRC, the blast penetrated through six floors, and it subsequently cost $1B to clean all the soot out of the building. Posted by: gp
But just one year before Hamawy took the witness stand to describe his travels with Abdel-Rahman, the now-Congressional candidate made a different journey with another party entangled in terrorist conspiracies: to Bosnia, with a group subsequently shut down for providing "logistical support" to Al-Qaida. In a 1996 interview with the Newark Star-Ledger, according to a copy Jewish Insider recovered through an archive of print publications, Hamawy described volunteering in Bosnia during the summer of 1994 with a Chicago-based nonprofit called the "Benevolence International Foundation." ... Sarajevo and Zenica were the exact cities where Benevolence International maintained its offices -- offices that Bosnian authorities raided in 2002, part of a joint effort with U.S. authorities to dismantle the group, which they had identified as a front for Al-Qaida. The 9/11 Commission Report would later identify the foundation's base in the Bosnian capital as part of the "impressive array of offices [that] covertly provided financial and other support for terrorist activities" that Osama bin Laden established in the early 1990s. Hamawy, who has scored endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in his New Jersey congressional bid, did not respond to repeated questions about his relationship with Benevolence International and his contacts and activities in Bosnia. The plastic surgeon has emerged as a frontrunner in the congressional race despite his relationship with the "Blind Sheikh" receiving significant coverage in recent weeks.Oh the media's covering it up? What a surprise! Update: More.
A 1995 court transcript shows how the then-medical student Hamawy described meeting the Islamist leader in 1991, visiting him at his home and accompanying him on a 13-hour van trip to a conference in Detroit. In the courtroom, he and the sheikh greeted each other warmly, and Hamawy denied a government informant's claim that Abdel-Rahman had urged the assassination of the then-president of Egypt. But no other publication has reported Hamawy's connection to Benevolence International since the Star-Ledger interview in 1996.
...
But what has given the plastic surgeon such recent prominence has been his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip during Israel's war with Hamas, including at the European Hospital in Khan Younis. The IDF struck the hospital repeatedly in 2025 to take out an underground Hamas command center that it said operated beneath the medical center. In multiple interviews in far-left media, Hamawy has denied the existence of such a terrorist post, and insisted to Jacobin that the facility was "a completely benign civilian hospital with no tunnels underneath it."

These clowns are unlawful enemy combatants. They have no constitutional rights as we understand them, nor do they deserve any. At best they get a military tribunal and then hanged.

So...my prediction currently is AI will be like other computer related tools used in white collar jobs - it does mean you need fewer people overall BUT management will find more things for you to do anyway (now whether the more stuff is actually valuable or not is an open question)

Most Dems don't believe the muslims believe any of the radical stuff they say.
But they do believe it.
It's like how Rs would do polling on why the ads playing Dems--in their own words--saying they wanted taxpayer-funded surgery for illegal trannies, were not more effective.
And it was because the pubic just refused to believe it was real because it was so crazy.

The large industrial centres were represented by Bolsheviks. The St. Petersburg Party organisation sent 12 Bolsheviks of its 17 delegates; the Moscow City and Moscow District, 16 out of 19; the Urals, 19; Ivanovo-Voznesensk, Vladimir, Kostroma District, Bryansk, Kazan and Krasnoyarsk, Bolsheviks only.

Because Saddam tried to kill GHWB, Shrub's father in Kuwait is my guess. The second reason is that Iraq was doable for an invasion in which Iran wasn't. Iran has a much greater land area plus a much larger population about twice the size of Iraq. We also knew already how to take Iraq and the northern quarter was a no go region already for Saddam because of the Kurds.
The dumbass Bush and his idiots from the CIA and State Dept. decided instead of leaving after Saddam got offed, we would stick around and make Iraq into a democracy.

Classic liberalism projects values as universal. They aren't. Outside of perhaps a few universal wants--eats, shelter, etc., the higher level wants and needs are dictated by the culture around them, in many cases far older than the West.
So liberals trending into leftist thought believed in contradictory things--one is that leftists were the most perfect and moral beings ever on this earth, and that all cultures are equal, in part because the old liberalism made peoples of the world into interchangeable widgets. Commies adopted that.
So among the leftists now, it is an oppression olympics based on personal identifiers where the party cadre fight over who is the most oppressed (and consequently highest status deserving rule) of all. Everyone is unique but the same.
Leftist crackpots using society instead of economics where everyone is equal but some are more equal than others.

Demented Cane-Shaking Sasquatch Al Green Loses His Primary Hugely
Al Green is a noted crusader for the rights of indigenous cavemen.
He carries what he says is a Magic Stick that allows him to poke ghosts in the belly when they get to hollerin' and actin' the fool.
Christian Menefee defeats longtime Houston Rep. Al Green in Texas' new 18th Congressional DistrictThey packed as many Democrats as possible into a few districts. But there are fewer blue districts now. Trump had thoughts:
Green's loss means the Texas House delegation is losing one of its most senior members, who served more than 20 years in Congress. Green, who has represented the 9th Congressional District since 2005, has been a vocal opponent to President Donald Trump's policies in Washington and a fixture on the Houston political scene. Green repeatedly and unsuccessfully filed articles of impeachment for Trump during the president's first and second terms. He was also removed from the State of the Union earlier this year after unfurling a protest sign. He had vowed to continue fighting Trump's agenda if reelected and leaned on his experience, pitching himself as the candidate has been doing the job. Menefee will face the GOP nominee Ronald Dwayne Whitfield. Whitfield faces an uphill battle as the district is deep blue; Kamala Harris would have carried the new district by 55 points.
Congratulations to the Dumocrat Party! Al Green, one of the most mentally deficient Congressmen in the history of our Country, has lost, in a landslide, his seat in Congress -- But I will miss that lunatic not screaming and violently waving his cane at me during my next State of the Union Speech.

I never want to hear about how [x] just can't be done because it's an election year. There are many examples of Republicans not heeding their own creed on just this factor alone. Redistricting in an election year while crowing about it for the other side is just gross. The ultimate hypocrites.
Green is also 78 years old. There's something to be said for respecting a career and telling the man, "It's been real."
That's what I thought when the news said Green was **40+** years older than Menefee. Why are you running?? Let the new guard take the reins. I'm sick of this Diane Feinstein bullshit.
That's too bad. I like Al Green and will always remember him as someone who had the balls to draft up articles of impeachment against Trump.
Fuck AIPAC. I hate to the core all this goddamn victories sponsored by Netanyahu because it’s our tax money indirectly funding these Israel wins.

Hell, what did Democrats do with a trifecta under Biden? The IRA which was no more than payoffs to Democrat client groups.
No amnesty. No gun control. No single payer.
Hell, the DOJ intentionally tanked the lawsuits against Trump because the DOJ is so infested with Republicans that there was no way a Democrat could exert control over the independent department.
And now they show that they can't even fight at the state level? Seriously, we could have gotten a 17-0 Illinois map, but Pritzker is just scared of seeming to be too combative because he wants to appeal to moderates for a presidential run.
Fuck the Democrat Party. Corporatist fascist party that's no better than Trump."

Yes, a longtime incumbent who held his seat for 20 years got only 30% of the vote.
What is going on here? I think it's more than just the redistricting. Blue is blue. We often talk about how the end of USAID and related slush funds, and the tightening of voting controls, will affect the Dumocrap-GOP races.
But it also affects the intra-Dumocrap races too. I think that's what happened here. The old guard counted on piles of cheap money and loose vote controls to keep slithering back into their seats. No more.

They're in a death spiral, or a crazy spiral if you prefer. As they get more radical due to the outsized influence that their online posters have, moderate voices and moderate voters drop out.

That's kinda what happens when you lie, cheat and steal for 50+ years to maintain an artificial advantage.
I'll say it again:
No one alive today knows what politics looks like when Republicans have an even playing field.
A partial list of the overwhelming and unfair advantages the Dems have had for decades:
- the media
- academia
- entertainment
- laundered tax-funded campaigns
- every major city with near limitless vote fraud
- minority-majority districts stealing seats in Republican states
And all we've done is chip away slightly at those--and they're getting their asses handed to them.

Well, my point is largely about how demoralized they are.
So, the surface, that which animates them, is the policy stuff that they see no advancement on while Republicans get visible gains at the state level with redistricting (the lack of passage of the SAVE act which 3/4 of their own party supports seems weirdly absent, I dunno), and they see failure.
But then, in addition, the ecosystem is being dismantled.
The ecosystem is invisible to them, so they largely just see it in broader economic terms ("the economy sucks because my job got lost") but the real demoralizing aspect is the combination.
"The economy sucks so Republicans should be losing, but Republicans aren't losing."

They're in a death spiral, or a crazy spiral if you prefer. As they get more radical due to the outsized influence that their online posters have, moderate voices and moderate voters drop out. (They don't necessarily become Republican, but they do drop out) As they leave, the remaining group becomes more and more concentrated and competes to see who can win the crazy olympics.

See this is the comical thing - blue states have been heavily gerrymandered for 20 years.
Remember when the MA governor threatened to gerrymander her ALL DEMOCRAT state?
And if you point out to leftists just how gerrymandered New England is you get one of the following:
1) That isn't gerrymandering, its like, random luck
B) That isn't gerrymandering, its like, Republicans don't bother appealing to New England people
III) Sure its gerrymandering, but like from 20 years ago so it doesn't count
And sometimes the same person will argue all three points...

A partial list of the overwhelming and unfair advantages the Dems have had for decades:
- the media

- laundered tax-funded campaigns
- every major city with near limitless vote fraud
- minority-majority districts stealing seats in Republican states
And all we've done is chip away slightly at those--and they're getting their asses handed to them.

There is a “gatekeeper” or winnowing quality to their selection process, that has been going on for many years.
Successful, rational decent individuals Need Not Apply. They have narrowed their acceptable viewpoints to a vanishingly small subset of whacked out beliefs. After many years, this is what we got.
One would be forgiven, if one did not know better, to think that they are ALL crazy as loon. This is not by accident, they WANT the crazy.
Remember at the core, the radical “burn it all down” contingent won the battles of the 1960s and 1970s. The Weathermen, the Black panthers, the Earth first.
Biden and Pelosi were the new wave politicians that swept in the early 1970s, in a sense replacing Moynihan and “Scoop”’Jackson or Hubert Humphrey.
Now the young radicals are tired of waiting for these fossils to get out of the way. You think things are fucked up now, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Incompetence is one thing. Corruption is one thing.
As we’ve seen, this latest batch of politicos are a deadly combination of corrupt AND incompetent. And they are belligerently ignorant.

I still think the midterms will trend towards Democrats because it's just the pattern.
But this massive hole in patronage that's suddenly developed is going to have some kind of effect.
If 1% of the quarter trillion that Vance has stopped since the start of the task force was going back into Democrat pockets, that's $2.5 billion to candidates, PACs, and Super PACs, not to mention the generalized ability to foster support by having people rely on the idea of the Democrat Party to just live.
That's not just ads on TV that translate to commissions to consultants. That's ballot harvesting operations.

There's a reason that Communist systems all become autocracies. Best example is the Soviet Union, which within 30 years of the Revolution became just a worse version of the same Czarist Autocracy they'd always had. Or China, which is "communist" in name only, and in fact has just gone back to the Imperial Government they've had for 2500 years.

Right, the seeds of its inevitable downfall were sown by its very success. Institutions inevitably become hidebound and unable to change with the times.
In 1979 say, nobody questioned the absolute power of the media based in New York. The television news broadcast outlets, the New York Times, et al.
Newspapers, magazines, the dead tree model of news is Dead.
But even the online internet version is a walking sucking chest wound. They became complacent and didn’t think they had to change. They had a 99% monopoly, and institutional government support, and laundered money. What could go wrong??

China is actually the best case we have of what I am talking about. They are STILL financed by our success because we gave them all our industry. If that had not happened, they might still have gone the fascist route (corporate communism) but I doubt they would have been anywhere near as effective/successful because then they would have been having to compete with our homegrown good domestically. (Assuming we had done something like Japan has done and held on to our own industry.)

There is only ONE farm left in the whole world that still have the original Cheddar Cave cheese mold cultures. (The farm is in Somerset -- i've actually been there.) All the other farms in the UK get their Cheddar cultures from this one guy.

Former President Joe Biden has filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department seeking to block the release of files related to interviews he conducted with a biographer that later became a central part of a special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents.
Biden's lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeks to block the Justice Department from releasing about 70 hours of audio files and transcripts to the House Judiciary Committee from interviews with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer that were used for his 2017 memoir "Promise Me, Dad." The interviews were conducted in 2016 and 2017.

Wednesday Morning Rant
The judicial power shall extend to all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States, and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority;--to all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls;--to all cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction;--to controversies to which the United States shall be a party;--to controversies between two or more states;--between a state and citizens of another state;--between citizens of different states;--between citizens of the same state claiming lands under grants of different states, and between a state, or the citizens thereof, and foreign states, citizens or subjects.It is the Court's job to, among other things, adjudicate conflicts between states. It chose not to in 2020. As we see in 2026, that was not a one-off.
Last year, an unqualified illegal alien named Harjinder Singh executed an illegal U-Turn in a big rig on the Florida Turnpike. The illegal maneuver caused a car wreck that killed three people. Despite being an illegal alien who could not speak English and failed to recognize road signs, Singh was improperly issued a CDL by the states of California and Washington, and he fled to California after the wreck. A few days after his return to California, he was arrested by the US Marshals. California's (and other states') regular issuance of improper and illegal CDLs to unqualified and often illegal aliens is a problem with interstate ramifications.
In response to this incident, Florida filed suit against California and Washington in October of last year. Being a conflict between the states, the case went before the Supreme Court. Or, rather it should have gone before the Supreme Court. This time, like every time there is a suit between the states that may prove politically difficult, the Court flatly refused to take the case. Unlike 2020, however, there were no mental gymnastics to justify it. A solid majority of the Court simply refused, and the majority issued no explanation. There was no rationale or justification, and the majority opinion was unsigned. Per the Washington Examiner:Florida filed a motion for the Supreme Court to hear the lawsuit directly because it was a lawsuit between two or more states, a rare instance of the high court’s original jurisdiction, but the unsigned majority did not offer an explanation for why it denied hearing the case.The actual opinion shows that clearly:
The motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied. JUSTICE THOMAS, with whom JUSTICE ALITO joins, dissenting from the denial of motion for leave to file complaintThis dissent follows, signed by the two justices who usually try to do the right thing. No majority opinion and therefore no author. Just "nah, we're not gonna do it." This is, as the Examiner pointed out, in the Court's actual, real, legitimate, Constitutional jurisdiction. And the Court refused, as has become its habit. Thomas made his opinion on this plain-language point quite clear:
This Court has exclusive original jurisdiction over Florida’s suit because it involves one State suing other States.This is not the first time Thomas has made this precise point, which is why quotes himself in his dissent. There is no venue for litigation between the states if the Court refuses to hear such cases, and the Court routinely refuses to hear such cases. I am sure the Court has much better things to do than hear "nuisance claims" (as this case was called by the defendants) - things like legislating from the bench. The non-communists have seen some victories in the Court over the past few years, but this case continues to underscore an ongoing problem. The Court is populated with political justices who never fail to find jurisdiction when it's a case they want to take, and never fail to reject their responsibilities when it's a case they don't - even if that leaves states with no venue whatsoever to sort out their grievances with each other.
Article III establishes that "[i]n all Cases . . . in which a State shall be [a] Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction." §2, cl. 2. Congress has made our original jurisdiction "exclusive" in "all controversies between two or more States," meaning that no other court can hear this case. 28 U. S. C. §1251(a).
I doubt this Court has discretion to refuse to hear cases within its exclusive original jurisdiction. ... "If this Court does not exercise jurisdiction over a controversy between two States, then the complaining State has no judicial forum in which to seek relief." Nebraska v. Colorado, 577 U. S. 1211, 1212 (2016) (THOMAS, J., dissenting from denial of motion for leave to file complaint). The only statute addressing this Court’s jurisdiction over these kinds of cases nowhere contemplates a process of discretionary review. See §1251(a) Nonetheless, this Court has adopted a discretionary approach to its exclusive original jurisdiction ...

And so, because they did not want to rule on a presidential election and gain the wrath of the left, the left still wants to pack them to the gills and deliver dictates without appeal.
The supreme court is THE thing the left wants complete control over because it is the one thing that could stymie them. And has. So all the court has done has filled them with a terrible anger to bring them under control.
This is the shit where people look at it 200 years from now and read it all at once and think 'Well, no wonder things went to shit. These people were cowards.'

The solution in Florida, absent SCOTUS intervention, is to check drivers with state/local resources, use the relationships with DHS in agreements like 287(g) to verify immigration status, and then hold them until deportation proceedings can happen.
Make the state so inhospitable to foreign, especially illegal, drivers that they simply refuse to take freight to the state.
In addition, though, with the recent SCOTUS ruling about how freight companies are liable for safety concerns from subcontracted drivers, well, it already seems like the foreign, illiterate drivers are getting squeezed out.
Nothing moves industries faster than financial incentives.

The commerce clause isn't a suicide pact. Could California just redefine a CDL as a license to go around in other states in clown suits and rape the populace? They are not far from that. If standards are not enforced and the blackrobed politburo just stands off to the side smirking then there is actually no agreement, it is null and void, and screw the law.

Fuck it. Violate the Commerce Clause. When Cali or Washington sues over the matter, point out that, as a controversies between two or more states, SCOTUS has exclusive original jurisdiction. If SCOTUS, once again, refuses to hear the issue... done and dusted.
If they choose to hear the issue, Florida may rightly point out that the whole unpleasantness could have been avoided by them doing their fucking job in the first place and then point out that Cali and Washington are violating federal law by issuing CDLs to persons not fluent in English.
Time to point out, again and again, the utter lack of feck amongst most of the members of the judiciary. If they want to play black robed gods then they cannot ignore the issues for which they are the specific judge.

This is the pattern, but I think the energy of anti-Trumpism is unique in a way that's going to hinder the Democrats ability to extend it full strength to the next target.
It's like how one major candidate can't retain the same coalition as the last. There will be changes (more Catholics here, fewer blacks there, etc.) in each transition.
So, what is anti-Trumpism? Well, it's hard left, AWFLs, black activists, and La Raza. GA primary voters this year were 9% white male.
One of the animating factors of anti-Trumpism has a sexual angle (grab 'em), and that goes away with Vance (or whomever).
I think that deflates the AWFL attack against whomever is next. Doesn't make it go away, but deflates it a bit.
All while Democrats have actively pushed out the white working class for pretty much 20 straight years since the rise of Obama.
The animating anti-Trump factors decrease but they get replaced with...what?

Let me tell you who James Talarico really is.
-He thinks God is “non-binary”
-Used the Bible to say the Virgin Mary would support abortion.
-Declared Jesus Christ was a “radical feminist”.
-Says atheists are “more Christ-like” than Christians.
-Called men in women's sports a "far right conspiracy."
-Thinks illegal aliens are “more Patriotic” than Americans.
-Believes there are six biological sexes.
-Posted guides on how to evade ICE.
-Called the border a “giant welcome mat”.
-Wants to abolish prisons.
-When asked what he thinks about besides family, he said “trans kids”.
Now he's trying to convince Texas he's a moderate.
His own words say otherwise.
When the devil tells you he’s evil, you best believe him.

This morning's report had a this editorial by J.J.
"Of course the problem is Trump's watch will come to an end at noon on January 21 2029. Was the era of Donald Trump a one-off, a speed bump on the road to hell that our nation had or has been on for decades or has President Trump not only slammed on the brakes but has he succeeded in throwing us into reverse and putting America back on track towards sanity?"
==========
Since his two terms have been labeled as "anomalies" by the press, many of our political class and a large segment of the public... yes, his term(s) were a "one off."
The political class will see to it that any like him are excluded, the chattering class will demonize anyone like him, and the public will be told to shun anyone like him.
Vance, Rubio, DeSantis, etc. will all be overshadowed by Trump. And diminished in the press as ineffective.
Whether Trump's detractors lose all life's meaning is debatable. There's still demonizing to be done.

They can do that - at which point half the states release statements saying they find all SCOTUS rulings from this point forward to be tainted and unenforceable in their states. The dems throw out that red meat for fundraising, but they know the blowback would be extreme and would be the first step in rolling back the Marshall decision, which the left cannot afford.

Bar all CA issued CDL drivers; seize their license and their rigs at the border.
You can guarantee they'll clear their docket to hear CA's suit.
And:
That would make these trucking companies hiring illegals howl in rage.
But, the lawsuit was silly--conservatives have to stop running to court like it's some neutral party that will fairly resolve political disputes:
1) the courts are illegitimate and have usurped too much power; these suits accede to and accept that
2) the courts are corrupt and will take every opportunity to rule against limited and conservative governance.
3) suits are just talk. The time for talk is well past.

And the concept of electing a pro MAGA, most effective AG against the left. Into the Senate doesn't blow Trump's agenda it puts a shark in with the anti-Trumpers.

Vance cusses a lot. They'll have something. It will be taken wildly out of context, which honestly, so was what Trump said. Trump was just making a silly self depreciating joke. They'll do the same with Vance. That it will make no sense is irrelevant.

Let's be clear:
I'm not saying that the next won't be subject to attacks. He will be.
But I'm saying that the attacks just won't retain the same coalition as anti-Trumpism. They'll replay the Trump playbook against Vance or Rubio, and it just won't hit as well.
So, they'll have to shift and pivot into a new kind of attack to appeal to a new coalition. But, they've hollowed out the rest of their coalition overall.
Attacks against the next will feel...tired and exhausted and uninspiring.

The Chief Justice and other Justices can be impeached and convicted (removed) for not taking-up a case, after the fact. Then replacements who swear they will take-up the case can be nominated by POTUS and confirmed by the Senate. This takes time. Would there be enough time for that process between an election and the Constitutionally-mandated date to swear-in a POTUS? Then there is risk of the replacements not fulfilling their promise. If so, wash, rinse, repeat. I guess.

My conspiracy theory isn’t so much of a theory, if you read the policy planning documents and articles published of the 1950s, the path to a globalist society had to do something about the role of established religion.
America was great because Americans were good, by and large. I do believe the spook agencies or similar spent a lot of time and effort destabilizing the black community and the mainstream denominations, to dilute the political effects downstream.
Note well too - Reagan, Thatcher, Pope John Paul were followed (eventually) by Obama, Merkel, Francis, et al. Sort of a tit for tat. And it makes sense from the globalist perspective. You can’t very well have the people believing there is a higher authority than an unelected bureaucrat in Brussels, or the EPA. That just won’t do.

Paxton's impeachment made him more powerful politically because it didn't actually lead to a conviction.
Unless you can guarantee conviction, impeachment just makes the target more powerful politically because they get acquitted of any charges.
Without that guarantee, impeachment is worse than failure theater. It's actually a process that will make the other side stronger.

When I first heard of this non-ruling/dismissal, I was (to the extent still possible) a little shocked.
A power, an obligation, expressly stated in the constitution - unlike so much of what the judiciary and guvamint in general engages in - simply shirked, denied, without explanation.
Turns out judicial failure to exercise its *legitimate* authority is just as pernicious to rule of law and the constitution as the usurpation that's been running wild for decades.

How many federal judges of any flavor have ever been impeached and removed from office?
Yeah, that’s what I thought. Maybe 4 or 5 in 200 years? It really ought to be fairly routine, considering some of the jackass rulings over the years. Congress largely abdicated their role long ago, in favor of acting like spectators.
Say, for one example - declaring Americans are on the hook, taxpayers must pay their tax dollars to send millions of illegal aliens to public schools. That’s insane. Worse, it has evolved into an elaborate, multi-billion dollar fraud operation.
And the schools largely suck. I recall our school district mass mailing out expensive full color brochures, positively gushing that “over 80!!” different languages were spoken there. Isn’t that awesome?
Have to go to school for a long time to get that stupid. To actually think that way.

Do people think that nationwide swings in the congressional ballot reflect evenly across the nation?
That D+30 districts and R+30 districts will move in the same direction at the same rate because the national environment went from R+3 to D+6 or whatever? That the D+30 district will become D+39 and the R+30 district will become R+21?
Because that's not how it works.
How it works is that the deep blue enclaves will turn out at higher numbers and the deep red enclaves will turn out at slightly lower numbers. It will be uneven.
So, if the national environment does shift 9 points left from 2024 (doubtful, I suspect 6 or so), TX won't shift 9 points to the left. It'll shift like 2-3 points while NY shifts 15.

There is little force behind any of it. If you want to put that under stress you need to make sure you have a solid backing behind you. The left no longer has that solid backing. They hold most of the 20% of the 80/20 issue splits. They've managed to split the billionaire class such that the most innovative and powerful of that group don't buy the left's message anymore.
You cannot make dramatic moves without support. If Florida refused to recognize Cal and Wash CDL's that would work because the people would be behind that move. And there wouldn't be enough political blowback to force Florida to back off.

Also would impound truck for a painful period of time so that would motivate shippers not to use improper drivers.
Maybe extra attention on Calif/Wash based drivers.

Alfred Thompson Briche
Would hang this lovely painting, so like a photograph.
Dallas Museum of Art
Alfred Thompson Bricher’s choice of subject deviated slightly from the Hudson River School’s early mission of capturing the grandeur of untouched American wilderness. Rather, Bricher’s work is characterized by exaggerated coastal seascapes and nautical scenes. He spent the majority of his fifty-year career as a landscape painter in Newburyport, Massachusetts--the source of many of his dramatic water scenes. In this painting, Bricher paints the waves as sleek shelves.In the distance, the peaks of sailboats dot the horizon, indicating human presence amidst the ocean waves. Favoring a horizontal composition, Bricher uses the monumentality of his landscapes to achieve an unrivaled luminosity, here seen in the clouds, whose reflection is mirrored on the seashore’s glossy sand surface. Drawing literary allusions in painting titles was quite common during this time. For his title, Bricher draws on a line from Sir Walter Scott’s The Antiquary of 1816: “Time and tide tarry for no man,” recast in 1843 by Charles Dickens in Martin Chuzzlewit to read, “Time and tide."

Tim Sparks Bought 80+ Pizza Hut Franchises
The person who bought 80 Pizza Hut franchises is Tim Sparks, president of Daland Corporation, a Kansas-based company that now operates nearly 100 Pizza Hut locations across the U.S.
Sparks, who grew up loving Pizza Hut and worked in the chain as a dishwasher and manager in the 1980s, has been leading a major transformation of his portfolio. He’s converting many of the over 80 franchises into “Pizza Hut Classic” retro-style restaurants that recreate the 1980s and 1990s dining experience.

No man is an island.
No trees. No dog. Tiny distant sailboats. Y'call this art?😜
Clouds and waves are nicely done. The sunlit peak gives the scene nice balance. Looks like distant rain on the left. Don't often see that in paintings, but see it often out here in prairieland.
And it's not muddy and dark. Yesterday's work was especially muddy on my laptop. I copied it to my paint program and greatly increased the lightness and contrast and it was much better. On the cell, for some reason, it was more clear and crisp without adjustment. Leaves me wondering what it would look like in real life. In person. Whatever. Good morning.

Me Texting: Hey, where is X?
Her: X is over on A.
I know X isn't on A, but there is a whole process you have to follow so I first look at A and find no X.
Me: It's not there.
Her: No, I know it is at A or B.
See that? I'll have you know, A and B are nowhere related. Not, like the same cabinet just upper or lower shelf. No, completely different locations. So I go look at B. Still no X.
Me: It's not at B either.
Her: No, I saw it there just the other day it has to be there.
At this point the only thing I can do is use my phone and take pictures of A & B with their entire contents arrayed out in front.
Me: See... it's not there
Her: You are just not looking hard enough. If I was there I would have found it already. It is always at A or B sometimes C.

Oh, he's a peach!
A New Jersey plastic surgeon who is the leading fundraiser in the crowded Democratic congressional primary was an associate of terrorist mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman—the "Blind Sheikh"—and served as a defense witness at the trial that ultimately saw the cleric put away for life, court records show.
Adam Hamawy, running in the Democratic primary to represent New Jersey's 12th Congressional District with Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D., Minn.) endorsement, was a 26-year-old medical student when Abdel-Rahman's lawyers put him on the stand to deny charges that the Blind Sheikh—whose followers carried out the 1993 World Trade Center bombing—had called for the murder of then-Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

So A, B, and C are about as far apart as could be in the same house.
A is 17 feet under the house's corner foundation, requires a backhoe, maybe some explosives and requires disturbing at least 3 ancient indian burial grounds.
B is on top the roof's highest ridge and is guarded by pterodactyls. There's no use just fighting them you have to distract them with berries. It's no easy task finding the right berries that pterodactyls like because their diet mostly consists of questing husbands. So this takes a long time.
C,... C is in the deepest bowels of the house, down a twisty labyrinth of tunnels that all look alike and finally a hellmouth. The hellmouth is guarded by an ancient Oni in the form of a monstrously large red beetle. In exchange for allowing you to pass into the hellmouth you have to pledge your immortal soul to the beetle, which, I mean, the beetle is ok really, and you get 4 weeks of vacation, so I say yes, and go in, and of course the hellmouth is thick with balrogs, I have an exterminator come out every 3 months but they can only do so much. And I find X.
Me: It was at C.

The system was gobbled up by centralizing money in the hands of the establishment. They held tight to control.
Also, primary challengers rarely have decent name recognition which means they just get drowned out.

The New York Times reported on Hamawy's participation in the trial at the time, but dozens of pages of testimony reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon reveal a yearslong relationship between the congressional candidate and the jihadist leader. Front Page Magazine first reported on their connection.
Hamawy and Abdel-Rahman met in 1991 when the Islamist firebrand delivered a lecture at Matawan-Aberdeen Middle School in Cliffwood, N.J. From there, the Egyptian-born Hamawy said, he followed the Blind Sheikh to speaking events at mosques, visited the cleric in his home, and provided him with translation help.
During his testimony, which Hamawy began with a traditional "salam alaykum" greeting to the Blind Sheikh, he described taking a 13-hour car journey with Abdel-Rahman and some of his associates to a conference in Detroit called "Towards a Global Islamic Economy." . . . .Several other speakers at the conference were well-known figures in the world of Islamist terrorism. After Abdel-Rahman spoke, attendees heard from Dr. Ahmad Nofal, a Holocaust denier who has falsely accused Israelis of harvesting the organs of Palestinians.

The Morning Report — 5/ 27/26
Texas Republicans delivered major victories for conservatives Tuesday night, as state Sen. Mayes Middleton defeated Rep. Chip Roy in the Republican runoff for attorney general while Attorney General Ken Paxton ousted longtime Sen. John Cornyn in a closely watched Senate primary. . . .Roy’s defeat marked a significant setback for Washington Republicans who had rallied behind the four-term congressman. Roy had built a national profile as a hardline conservative in Congress and received endorsements from figures including Ted Cruz and members of the House Freedom Caucus. ...Cornyn’s loss represented one of the most significant defeats for a sitting Republican senator in recent years and underscored Trump’s dominance over GOP primary voters.Well, as I stated in contrast to the author of this piece, Roy's record despite the labels and endorsements has been spotty at best. I'll leave it to all our Texas commenters to weigh in as to whether I'm off base or not. Be that as it may, Look at who Ken Paxton is facing off against:
The Texas church where Democrat James Talarico has delivered his radical sermons is pushing radical gender ideology on children, featuring books filled with sexually explicit content and transgender ideology. Talarico, the Democrat nominee for the crucial Senate election in November, attends St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin. There, children have access to a library stocked with “banned books” that promote ideas rejected by most Christians, including books that contain descriptions of anal rape, incest, and oral sex, according to a Daily Wire review of its offerings.Oh yes indeed, all you John Cornyn fans, here's your golden opportunity to get on board the Talarico train.
I want to thank Senator John Cornyn for his years representing our state. We don’t agree on everything, but we both still believe in public service. To Senator Cornyn’s supporters: you have a place in our campaign.When I said train, I meant in cattle cars on your way to a gulag to get forcibly sterilized.
I would think Talarico doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell, certainly not with this background. And yes Texas is indeed a deep if not the deepest of red red states. But with the nation now really on a knife edge we can no longer tolerate the business as usual of go-along-to-get-along RINO grifters because since the ascendancy of Obama, the Democrat Party is now openly out to seize absolute power by any and every means necessary. The Trump miracle put the brakes on that and so the freak flags are flying in the breeze as the stolen election of 2020, the political persecutions, assassination attempts, riots, judicial coup, bureaucratic insubrdination, censorship and political violence against any and all voices of opposition have amply demonstrated. Shifting gears now, as CBD and I discussed, that is yammered incessantly about, on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the popular platforms listed below, AI is becoming more and more prevalent. But like every other invention nnd technological development, from the wheel and fire all the way up to nuclear science, it can be used for good or for evil. And speaking of which:
...Wynton Hall, author of Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI talked about OpenAI. Hall said, “OpenAI has now contracted with 400,000 members of teachers’ unions to start to bake into the curriculum…all their tools.”Letting Teachers' unions control AI is like allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons. Which, surprise surprise, we also discussed.
The news that President Trump has taken the unusual step of calling a full Cabinet meeting Wednesday suggests that, among other things, he’s exploring ways to jump-start the maddeningly slow talks with Iran.Of course the problem is Trump's watch will come to an end at noon on January 21 2029. Was the era of Donald Trump a one-off, a speed bump on the road to hell that our nation had or has been on for decades or has President Trump not only slammed on the brakes but has he succeeded in throwing us into reverse and putting America back on track towards sanity? The removal of saboteurs and fools like Massie and now Cornyn is a good sign, but the GOP must be utterly purged as we can see from this abomination of a back-stabbing out of South Carolina. Only time will tell. Have a great day,
The brainstorming is necessary because it is crystal clear that Trump gave peace a chance, a very good chance, but the mullahs aren’t willing to meet his generous terms.
The big question now is whether there is anything more within reason he can do to sweeten the offer, or whether Iran simply has no intention of ever getting to yes.
No doubt there also will be a political dimension to the conversations, in that the war is unpopular at home and growing more so the longer it goes on.
Its effect on rising energy prices and inflation are a major part of the GOP worry that Trump’s party could lose control of both chambers of Congress in November...
Moreover, the stakes in Iran are growing again because even the tenuous cease-fire is coming under severe stress.
The US conducted what it called “self-defense” airstrikes late Monday against two Iranian ships it said were laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
The US also said it took out a surface-to-air missile site based at Iran’s primary naval station that was targeting our warplanes.
In response, Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei threatened to strike American military bases elsewhere in the region.
The skirmishing is the latest sign that the mullahs have no intention of voluntarily meeting Trump’s top demand for peace.
For more than a decade, he has been saying the same thing: that Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon on his watch.
- AMERICA & ISRAEL STRIKE IRAN!

President Trump has cemented his grip on the GOP. But at what cost? In Texas, Ken Paxton clinched the Republican Senate nomination, ousting longtime Sen. John Cornyn after a last-minute Trump endorsement helped to lift the firebrand. Yet Paxton's win could hand Democrats a rare opening to flip the state.

- Just stuff about sexuality.

- I don't know the specifics but we shouldn't ban books. Except for Huckleberry Finn, that uses the 'N' word.

His appeal isn’t supposed to be to them. His appeal is supposed to be two people that are more in the middle. The thought processes, they look at him and they see him as more similar to a Christian Neighbor, who isn’t too much of a zealot.
The hope is all other religious people will vote for Talarico because he is very faith based and they see similar values.
It will be interesting to see which faction wins. A lot of (liberal) people I know moved to Texas in the last 3-4 years so hoping that new younger populace will combine with them and push Talarico on top
IMO it will put an end to the lie that most of the "Christian" voters in the republican pay actually GAF about their faith. My experience had proven to me that morality and following Jesus's teachings do not play into their decisions. They forget Jesus died as a radical.

Standard elitist media over-analytical idiocy and wishful BS. "...lift the firebrand"? Paxton is an incorruptible and unrelenting common-sense conservative in a world gone mad. Translation: he's a "firebrand!!!!" Hide your children! And "Yet [his victory] could hand Democrats a rare opening..." Yes, and yet, an asteroid could strike your house tomorrow, you over-educated dumbf*ck. Every action has the potential to serve as a qualifying "yet," but what does that even mean in this case? That the freak he's running against has a greater chance against Paxton than Cornyn? By that logic, we should never run our most committed and strongest candidates, right? Oh, I see -- that's the logic. We perpetually run RINO patsies for our own good. Got it.

A lot of guys with cattle operations around here are NOT going to put up with a guy representing them in the Senate who wants their business diminished, nor do they want to hear a Senate candidate tout the benefits of veganism. A lot of people in this state are not going to have the stomach for Jimmy the Creep's brand of Christianity. Paxton aligned PACs are already dropping adverts painting Jimmy the Creep as a weirdo using his own words.
I don't think Paxton touched very much of his war chest to secure the nomination either.

Another thing -- it isn't dithering as Trump would see it, but deal-making in pursuit of peace. In the abstract, a noble pursuit. But this is where the Western mind falls shot in its imaginative scope. Against Islam, that mindset is absurd. When you have the enemy's neck under your boot, you twist it, you don't let it up.

President Trump has cemented his grip on the GOP. But at what cost? In Texas, Ken Paxton clinched the Republican Senate nomination, ousting longtime Sen. John Cornyn after a last-minute Trump endorsement helped to lift the firebrand. Yet Paxton's win could hand Democrats a rare opening to flip the state.

I'm sorry, but Cornyn lost by 28 points, and the race could have called the second the polls closed. He was a goner way before the Trump endorsement, which was more of a cherry on top for Paxton, and Cornyn's camp knew it too.

First, because the people who keep advocating for blowing up Iran never seem to say what comes next. As we have seen over and over and over in the ME that is a very bad plan. Look what happened in Iraq. Look what happened in Libya. Look what happened in Syria. There will always be a day after the war and if the right steps aren't done to win the peace we will be stuck in another protracted war in the ME.
And if you look what Trump is doing he is demanding our "friends" in the ME like SA and Qatar join the Abraham Accords to unite the region in a common purpose that isn't killing infidels for a change. Let them help with the rebuild and keep a closer eye on Iran.
Finally, negotiations take time to get right. Lots of people whose biggest negotiation in life was buying a car keep insisting this go faster. Why? Time is on Trump's side not the mullahs. Trump's pressure is political. The mullahs is existence. The most pressure is on them and the longer they take the worse shape they are in.
Let Trump do his thing. Worst case the deal falls apart and then we bomb. But that is a break glass scenario not the first choice.

The past few years have cut out a large portion of establishment GOP power while seeing an influx of outsiders who, in the aggregate, want Texas to be as Texas as the rest of the country thinks Texas is. Yes, there are Austin progressives from LA, but they are obviously the tiny minority of the immigrants (re: all the statewide elections since 201

Still, all state governments are more corrupt than we can imagine, and the state capitol building is probably more ugly people orgies and child sacrifice and boring real estate corruption than conservative governance, but at least they feel the need to hide it.

Asking KSA and Qatar to join Abraham Accords is a desperation move, not planned, not well-received, and not likely to succeed.
Time is fleeting and every day this drags out the likelihood of failure and defeat only grows. Kinetic action should not have stopped. No reason they cannot negotiate surrender during continuing hostilities.

Iran's position continues to weaken. Incrementally, yes. And concurrently with higher-than-we-like gas prices, yes. But taking Iran off the board is an earthshaking realignment.

Iran's position continues to weaken. Incrementally, yes. And concurrently with higher-than-we-like gas prices, yes. But taking Iran off the board is an earthshaking realignment.
Selling that realignment is Trump's job right now. Convince the voters this likely short-term gas-price-suckage is worth it to lance a 50-year boil.

All while they lost the top 6000 people in its government, 90% of its missile stockpiles, and 90% of its military industrial capability.
But, sure, illiterate buffoons on weekend pleasure boats with motors firing AK-47s in the air at super tankers captained by retarded Indian captains who shit their pants at pops in the air means that they're more powerful than ever.
The $450 million they're losing every day from the blockade is totally made up by $2 million fees on the strait they're not collecting all while tankers turn off AIS, sail through the straight, and then turn them back on hundreds of miles away.
The blockade, the siege, is doing...a lot of damage to Iran.

I have trust in the top leaders of this effort, including Admiral Cooper.
Churchill, from his vast lived experience, wrote:
"Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events."

Maybe. It's difficult to determine just how bad things are in Iran right now because there is very little actual on the ground reporting. But we do know they are losing 100s of millions a day on the one product that overwhelmingly drives their economy, oil.
We also know they are experiencing Zimbabwe type inflation and food has got to be getting scarce. Tehran had a huge problem with water before the war started, I don't see how it could've gotten better since.
Iran is a tough nut to crack. We all know they are run by religious freaks who don't tell the truth and don't act rationally. If a president had stepped up years ago to do the right thing this problem could have been dealt with then. We all want this over but I want it done right so we aren't dealing with it again in a couple years and I don't want yet another endless occupation of a ME country.

I think it is probable that Iran was run more or less as a military dictatorship masked by Khameini and the clerics for years now--since the Green Revolt. The IRGC basically directed the economy with a large share of owning businesses in Iran and was about the only means of social mobility in an economy ruined by excessive military spending at home and terror and influence operations abroad.
The IRGC avoided outright conflict but by bringing in Iraqis, Lebanese, etc. as proxy regime forces to oppress the people, indicates that they don't think their own troops will do it.
Where does that leave the US? Pretty clear that any restart or attempts to get the nuclear material will result in strikes. Unclear about their missile program but probably there new production has been hit hard by strikes. We haven't destroyed infrastructure yet--Kharg Island destruction would make exports impossible for awhile, plus bridges, railways, power plants could also be hit. And we can and still will have control over the taps of Iranian oil.

I read the consumer sentiment and it is actually the reverse. Democrats were stable in sentiment as they think the sky is falling when Trump got back in office. It is independents and Republicans upset at high gas prices.
To some extent, I think that is the only weapon Iran has left--to cause pain and disruption by keeping the Persian Gulf shut from exports to the oil users.
For the US, we are in the curious position of actually not depending on the Gulf anymore for oil and even high prices results in US income staying at home compared to previous oil shocks which in turn is going to get plowed into more drilling, etc.

Success is preventing Iran from having nukes and terrorizing the Gulf. Both are accomplished without boots on the ground by naval and air force power.
Regime change is not--we don't have the human intel information and thus rely on Israel for on ground information. Taking out missile bases and nuke sites, that can be done via sat and aerial intel.
So we simply cannot assume regime change will occur; it may occur or may not for a time. I know enough of the literature in that field to figure out most people are blithering idiots on the subject and the real experts (not on TV or podcasts) aren't talking.
So diplomacy and military strikes--with infrastructure strikes as the big club because it will end the ability of Iran to pay its bills and rebuild.

You stupids don't work for Thune.

You work for us.
We voted for Trump and the agenda he promised.

Do your job.

Yes, Trump is Our Avatar.
But, we don't need pets and sweet cooing for Our Avatar. We need you to support him and us.
You are our servants. You were put there to do our will. If you cannot...you will be fired as soon as possible.
GOPtards if you want to keep your jobs. Do your job and vote for things like SAVE and safe borders and no castrating children would be a good start.
Get to it, a-holes.

The backbenchers who follow leadership, make no noise, but get the grunt work of staying in DC for a week while the rest go home to gavel sessions in and out are so far down the list that they might as well not exist.
And this year proves that it's possible to topple incumbents if you're focused. Lankford and Murkowski is focus.

In a separate complaint, MacLean allegedly failed to provide one of three required drugs during an assisted death, the National Post reported. After he declared the patient dead and left the residence, the man started breathing again on his own. MacLean came back and finished the procedure, according to the Globe and Mail.

Okay… this might be one of the most exciting restaurant comebacks I’ve seen in a while.
Pizza Hut is officially bringing back the CLASSIC dine-in experience at select locations across the country… and Texas has several of them!
We’re talking:
🔺 The iconic red roof buildings
🥤 Red plastic cups
🟥 Red-checkered tablecloths
💡 Tiffany-style lamps
🎮 Arcade games
🥗 Salad bars
🍕 That classic Pizza Hut feeling a whole generation grew up with
Honestly, this is the Pizza Hut I remember as a kid. Friday nights, arcade machines, personal pan pizzas, and those unforgettable red cups that somehow made the soda taste better.
Texas has always had a strong Pizza Hut connection too… the company’s longtime headquarters were in Dallas, and some of these classic-style locations are still hanging on around the state. Hopefully we see even more Texas locations restored soon.

This is what pollsters and talking heads don't get. They fall back on the lazy and self-affirming idiocy that we are all in a cult of Trump. They are wrong.
Trump is the first President we've had in a very long time that does what we want not what DC wants. And he fights for us. That's all we ask for. Be our voice and do the things that will help us voters live our lives better.
For once it's not about settling for the least worst POS who will always give us crumbs instead of the whole loaf. Trump delivers. Surprisingly, voters respond enthusiastically to that.

That's fine and all, but what I think people will REALLY appreciate is a return to quality food. If the pizza is good (or at least, good enough), then the ambience will only enhance that experience.
Ambience by itself won't work in the long term.

When I worked at Rock Island Arsenal, my co-workers (almost all black) get telling me I had to go to a great local ice cream chain in Davenport called "Whitey's." I assumed it was a joke, but no...it was all real. Of course, they also had the local rap radio station on, and the local commercials were for a convenience store called "Jesse Mart", with lines like "fried chicken make yo mouth water....we got peach Moscato..."
Wild times.

UE-60 is stored in gaseous form, and any break in their containment means it evaporates.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
That may be unknowable unless and until either US or the Iranians get down to that level to dig it out. But the enriched uranium does not simply evaporate as it is heavier than air. It is more like it would precipitate in place rather than spread everywhere.
That may be why we fear a dirty bomb usage for any residue from casks as I think it would have to be somehow cleansed and refined again from the surrounding rubble material in that case to make a nuke weapon.

Not quite
"Trump cult" is one of those things they repeat but don't really believe
See the thing is they don't actually care if you believe the left's narrative and most lefties don't either. What they want is for you to repeat it and honestly it gives them a sexual thrill the more you disagree with the words they make you say.
There is no more obvious sign of the power you have over someone else then making them publicly repeat 2+2=5 while you both know it is false.

He was, and the kicker is he was known to have suicidal ideation. Got assessed and the "doc" drove him to the place to die, same day. Not how the processe is "supposed" to work. One reason the doc drove him was to prevent the guy's family from trying to put a stop to it.

It might be fear. I think elections have been corrupted for some time and many sitting senators have benefited from that corruption. It is also why GOP campaign consultants have pretty much concentrated on negative ads, mailers, etc. to drive down turnout rather than telling people what they are going to do. Now the Democrat campaigns are emulating that.
Potemkin elections require low turnout, divisive politics, using money as a bribe to groups and individuals to keep the charade going. Big turnout threatens to overturn that model and make it unsustainable.

I'll throw out a few more ideas:
1. Motherhood being seen as oppressive and a bad choice for stronk independent wamenz.
2. The difficulty of living on one income.
3. Lack of community support.

Brainwashing in public schools. For decades.
We've already lived the replay of the "it takes a village" approach from the Hilary Clinton era (ruining women's independence; the one income woes, and lack of community support, etc.).
A majority of people are now "children" until at least 26 (thanks to O & Congress), and almost everyone of them wants to be on the (non-profit, foundation, governmental) dole and live their dreams.
Its been an psyop in the United States for decades; all as the population is being steadily increased to top out at around 400 million.
imo, of course.

I also see online that lots of young women are opting out because the potential partners on offer don't seem to be willing to step up and do an equal share of childcare/housecare, even though both partners work.
It's a tough sell for some women to go to work just like their husbands, and then come home and deal with mealtime, feeding/washing/putting to bed their children while hubby plays video games or otherwise relaxing.
Spend some time on Reddit's TwoX Chromosomes, if you can stand it. There's a lot of woke shit, but there's also a lot of really concerning stories.
