More: Graham Platner, Known to Have a Dick the Size of a Grain of Rice, Has Lied About Why He Has a Nazi Totenkopf on His Flabby Droopy Moob According To What Story He Thinks His Mark Wants to Hear

I'm 99% sure this is the woman we heard about yesterday. I'm not 100% on that, though.

This woman says that she was matched to Slim Prickens on a dating platform (Tinder, I think). She explicitly identified as belonging to the "I.W.W." which is the Industrial Workers of the World, a hardcore socialist group known during the Wilson era as "The Wobblies."

This is an important point: She objects to the media attacking the credibility of Princess Tinymeat's female accusers based on being "Republican operatives," but she's a socialist. She supports a group that was once illegal and raided by Wilson's commie-busters.

Is she a "Republican operative" too, Media? Did she pretend to be a hardcore socialist all her life as part of the Long Con against your Small-Dick-Energy Oyster Fuhrer?

IWW.png

This is an important accusation: She says when she specifically asked him about his "Totenkopf" -- she used that word, and he didn't protest -- he made up a story that would please her as a committed leftist.

His story, she says, that he got a Nazi tattoo to remind himself that the "US were the bad guys" in the world makes no sense at all, but it was a story which was pleasing to the socialist woman he was fucking.

thelieabouthetotenkopf.png

Note that she now sees that he made up a story to manipulate her into accepting that the guy she was fucking had a fucking Nazi Death-Camp Tattoo. He spun up a "story clean up" for the socialist woman by claiming it was his way of showing the world he Opposed American Imperialism.

Why no, she then says. She now sees that his new explanation about his Nazi tattoo is completely different from the bespoke, personally-tailored lie he offered her.

Now he says he never knew what it was and his drunk sergeant ordered him to get it.


storyoftotenkopfcleanedup.png

As Sideshow Bob explained, it wasn't Die Bart Die. It was German -- Die Bart, Die.

This is psychopath-style manipulation. Psychopaths are hollow demons who only look human on the surface, and the moment they meet an actual human, they plot out which scheme of lies will be deployed to manipulate and dominate this new victim.

She then found out that not only had he been engaged to his now "wife" the whole time, but his fiance had just caught him and his child-sized genitals in bed with a completely different side piece!

psychopathhadastringofsidepieces.png

This was 2022. But he's grown since then you guys. (Except that his "wife" caught him on a hook-up site famously used by predators sending lewd photos and propositions to other women.)

I'm starting to think that maybe this manipulative psychopath just proposed to this woman for the money and so he'd have a "wife" to show off in his political bid.

Below, she scolds Sergeant Shrimpdick and the media for attacking female accusers for their political affiliations, explicitly or implicitly calling them liars with political axes to grind:

Boy, the Nazi-Communist-Islamist Gay Tranny Race Party sure can pick its avatars.

Her posts below. Turns out that that text chain I posted yesterday, not knowing who it had come from, came from her.

Jodi "#MeToo" Kantor, can you do some more clean-up?



Oh, and Korporal Kleinschwanz has his media allies threatening anyone who calls his hobbyist, created-for-campaign-purposes "oyster farming 'business' " fake:

Steve Robinson
@SteveRob

Sure, Ben. I mean it's "totally fake" as in it's a hobby and comparing Graham's hobby to actual Maine fishermen and lobstermen is insulting. The hobby became a campaign expenditure (unreported to the FEC) with a website that was created as a campaign prop after Graham Platner was groomed for a Senate run. He has no employees. He has described his oyster production as "small," which according to the Maine DMR means fewer than 100k oysters, which is maximum gross commercial value of $80k. His only customer is his mom. She's not selling 100k oysters per year, because Graham just explained at length that she's so poor he doesn't know what she'll do for retirement. There are bag ladies searching the streets for returnables that have higher margins and better business models than Graham's oyster hobby. He now claims he offers "tours" so how the hell do you run a real tourism-based business without a website? Because that's what he claims he was doing from 2019 to 2024, when the website was registered. The phrase "oysterman" is not in common usage. The last time someone used it was the 1908 book "The Oysterman and Fisherman" but the oyster industry is now properly understood as large-scale aquaculture. It's impossible to have a real oyster business without massive scale. The "oysterman" term was appropriated by his campaign team and gullible libs from out-of-state lapped it up. If Graham is an "Oysterman" then I'm a chicken farmer.

How is a white mostly heterosexual male (for given value of male, I know--he watched sex and the city in the army? Not really male) actually popular with Democrats? It has to be the "I love Nazi!" thing, right?

No, she was interviewed like everyone is before the run for something like this, to disclose all the skeletons. They do this to get ahead of it, prepare for it or say thank you, but no. Now, she may be an absolute weirdo, I have no idea. But what she disclosed wasn’t running to the campaign, it was part of the process.

Despite the Lies of the Biden Administration and Its Egregiously Dishonest Spokeswoman Jen Psaki, the US Did In Fact Use Taxpayer Money to Fund Bioweapon Labs Across the Globe, Including in Ukraine

PJ Media's Catherine Salgado:

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is apparently back on the job and releasing more evidence that the federal government used American taxpayer funds for biolabs in well over two dozen countries.

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci raised a firestorm of controversy after he apparently lied under oath about the American government funding dangerous gain-of-function research at the very Chinese government-linked Wuhan biolab where COVID-19 came into existence. But it seems that such risky research at our expense was not unusual or isolated to our number one enemy, China.

DNI Gabbard, who has been at least temporarily absent from her position due to her husband's serious medical problems, came back with a bang on June 12. "Today, I'm releasing never-before-seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine," she posted on X.

She continued, "In support of President Trump's Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what 'research' is being conducted."


Russia's government is thoroughly dictatorial and corrupt, but unfortunately its accusation that the United States was secretively funding questionable biolabs in Ukraine was not a conspiracy theory, based on Gabbard's newly released information. The Democrats and Marxists in the U.S. government were channeling our money to unconstitutional "research."

See the link for more. Now, she revealed evidence of "biolabs" which is not the same -- one might argue -- as "bioweapon labs."

But as the Wuhan Covid Lab demonstrated to everyone -- they're the same thing. The idea of these labs is to collect viruses and then engineer them into highly infectious forms -- the deliberate "gain of function" procedures which involve either directly splicing in new components into viruses to make them deadlier, or just repeatedly running them through "mouse models" with similar DNA to humans to induce them to mutate into new forms.

Then, they say, they will have the Bad Guy Virus they can design a Good Guy Vaccine to cure.

But note that the first step of producing a vaccine is creating a deadly, infectious virus that never existed and probably would never exist but for the deliberate engineering of the virus by Frankenstein-like God-Playing scientific maniacs.

Boy I wish I could think of a single example of one of their Frankenstein Viruses escaping from the lab and provoking a global shutdown -- a deliberate overreaction, which they felt was necessary, because they knew they themselves created the virus and might be executed for mass murder unless they could demonstrate they did everything legal and illegal to stop the spread of their created WMD weapon -- but I just can't think of a single example of something like that happening.

That's a blessing, I guess.

Members of the Krew Klue can remind me if something like that happened, for five Krew Klue P.I. Points.

I'm sure CNN and Fake Tapper will update their Biden Lie Tracker to include this lie.

Oh right, they can't, because they never started a Biden Lie Tracker.

Just like they immediately stopped the Casualty Count in Iraq and Afghanistan after President Dreamboat was sworn in.

70 "But as the Wuhan Covid Lab demonstrated to everyone -- they're the same thing. The idea of these labs is to collect viruses and then engineer them into highly infectious forms"

I actually think their true purpose is the same purpose as 99% of Democrap and leftwing efforts: money-laundering, grift, and theft. I doubt any of these "biolabs" in China or Ukraine (!) were doing anything but stealing our money and laundering it to leftwing causes.

The tell was the videos of the Wuhan lab that looked about as advanced and secure as a middle-school lab where the most dangerous substance is bleach. Clearly, the lab was just stealing all the money and paying almost nothing for actual research or real labs.

The problem was that they did end up creating something, and that something got out. But I'm fairly sure the lab was supposed to be just a front to steal our money.

The original idea of these labs was to close them up clean without their knowledge and material being sold off, and to keep the scientists employed to prevent them from going rogue and working for the pakis or another hostile nation.

The secondary idea is that these labs were on the front line, and able to understand and detect anything the Ruskies were doing, intentionally or accidentally. Later the Chinese.

But any big pot of money attracts flies, and any government solution first priority is to keep the funding coming by making the problem bigger, so they evolved into a grift to justify bigger budgets. That grift included making diseases they could protect us against.

They finally got caught — and the receipts are all right here.Trump's DHS just approved a plan to cross-reference every mail-in ballot in America against federal immigration databases. The USPS is now barcoding every ballot with a unique tracking code. One ballot. One barcode. One count. And sanctuary states like California and Oregon cannot opt out — because the postal system isn't Gavin Newsom's. It's federal.For two decades they told you there was no fraud. They called you a conspiracy theorist. They rolled their eyes. They appointed committees. And the whole time, the machine was running — 3AM ballot trucks, drop boxes with no cameras, nursing home harvests, envelopes with no postmarks.That machine just ran into a federal barcode, a DHS database, and a president who read the fine print.In this video:

Its not implausible. Before it was illegal to do in the US, they were still sending money to labs all around the world. You could justify it on a collection site basis. And justify it on a well we don't want to transport after collection. Ultimately, this was a twofer. there is the stated public purpose. there is also an clandestine purpose. Fauci had an intelligence agency role that was non public. Also, a nifty way to hid from FOIA requests and a lot of congressional oversite is to subcontract the dirty work to private contractors.

118 Fauci searched for and found a virus that would kill the extremely elderly and those with respiratory comorbidities. He financed the gain of function research to make it more contagious. It was his intention to turn this virus loose on the U.S. to effectively kill off the oldest generation and the others who cost the healthcare industry the most. This would save the U.S. over half the healthcare expenditures every year, thus providing funds for Universal Healthcare. He wanted to be a hero by secretly killing off millions. This is the democrat mindset.

Interesting relationship with the virus and testosterone. If you got it, it damaged your ability short term to produce testosterone. If you had low testosterone levels when you got it, you were much more likely to have severe covid. A large percentage of male patients who survived, had sustained low testosterone for months and some with prolonged erectile dysfunction.

This one has a front enclosed porch, a basement (unfinished), and gas heat, as well as a 1-car garage. Nice neighborhood with a local breakfast and lunch place within a leg-stretching walk, too.

The way I read this is anyone who was diagnosed with covid or their families can file a claim if they died from covid has a potential tort claim against the US government because they illegally funded biological research outside of the US to evade laws. That was done in the performance of their duties and with the backing of the the obama, Trump and biden administrations.

How Britain Became as Poor as Mississippi: A case study in self-sabotage

One generation ago, Britain was a major global power; today, it is a middling one, gripped by sclerosis. Taxation is at the highest level since World War II, yet public services have deteriorated. The National Health Service, the celebrated pillar of the British cradle-to-grave welfare state, has a backlog of 6 million patients—almost a tenth of the population—waiting for treatment. The health service now has to spend more money settling maternity-malpractice claims than it does on actually providing maternity care. Many Brits can neither obtain an appointment with a publicly funded dentist nor afford a private one; in a 2023 survey, one in 10 reported doing DIY dental work, in extreme cases extracting their own teeth or gluing broken crowns back together.

The devaluation caused by a vast new supply would definitely wreak havoc - even assuming you overcome the science and engineering problems. Look up 16psyche. It is between mars and jupiter. Its about 140 miles wide. It is maybe a protoplanet that didnt quite make it, or got blasted. It has a lot of metal in it instead of ice. Iron, gold platinum. estimated in current dollars on current prices many hundred quintillions. So if the space aliens are real, and they tow it to the dark side of the moon for use and set up smelting/processing. It'll devalue a lot of assets.

295 By sheer coincidence, just last night I watched the 1977 David Cronenberg horror film "Rabid," starring porn actress Marilyn Chambers. (Side note: She's actually a pretty good non-porn actress, too.)

The plot is...basically, this Covid-19 post.

Marilyn gets in an accident, needs plastic surgery, gets taken to a clinic where they do an experimental procedure involving some kinds bio-engineered stem cells, she "recovers" -- but is now infected with a rabies-like virus, which she (and this is what the movie is infamous for) injects into people with a sort of steel-tipped penis that emerges from a new vagina in her armpit.

Then the bio-engineered virus spreads throughout the population, and martial law is declared, and fascist totalitarianism descends upon the land. The end.

So yeah, a very prescient film about what really happened with Covid-19. (Except for the steel-tipped penis part. Or...are they hiding that from us too???)

Pratt claimed in a video released Friday that he has damning evidence that would force the two Democrat candidates — “morons” Mayor Karen Bass and socialist city councilmember Nithya Raman — to resign.

“If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in this campaign, just wait,” he said, as video clips, memes, and AI-generated content drive his narrative of a broken city that’s only going to get worse.

Zephyr Penoyre and Emily Sandford proposed a "spaceline". Spool out like 400000 kilometers of Kevlar. Tie one end to Sinus Medii on our moon. Go through the Earth/Moon L1 point (85% of the way to the Moon), dangle the rest of that role to maybe 110000 kilometers above us (and above GEO).
That takes a lot of the stress off getting to the Moon. Once hooked into the spaceline, you just ... take the elevator.
Replace Kevlar with some of the newer shit and you can dangle that to 90000 km.
Also the rope seems taut enough you could tether a yuuuge space station to the L1 midpoint.

352 322 I continue to be amazed at the price of food in IN compared to here. This local restaurant I mentioned that is near my current candidate home has their menu online. $3.25 for one egg and a slice of toast; $3.75 for two eggs. One egg, choice of meat, and toast, $5.50; $6 for two eggs. You can pretty much double all those prices for the same stuff around here.

I found the same thing to be true in Salina, KS.

When I move, my food and car insurance costs are gonna drop quite a bit.

375 That takes a lot of the stress off getting to the Moon. Once hooked into the spaceline, you just ... take the elevator.
Replace Kevlar with some of the newer shit and you can dangle that to 90000 km.
Also the rope seems taut enough you could tether a yuuuge space station to the L1 midpoint.
Posted by: gKWVE at June 12, 2026 04:31 PM (XWPh2)

Space elevator seems to be the dream.
At the current pace it will take decades to get to that point.

Most people are not going to want to ride a rocket to stay in a hotel space station or moon base.

So unless we invent antigravity tech, the elevator would be the best option for efficient transport to orbit and the moon.

Yeah, those two authors I mentioned dismissed the Earth/Moon eccentricity which is half Mars' (0.05ish) or the Earth's tides or the Sun's gravity (this last might be negligible). There are a lot of other questions I could pose like how to get 300000+ km of Zylon string from Earth to L1.
But tying it to the Moon might not be as bad as these other questions, because it's counterbalanced by string dangling toward Earth. I guess you bury the end of the string to the regolith and drop a big bomb on it, to make it glassy.

419 "Her latest technique is either to ignore the concept entirely, or -- when I force her to look at a house's pictures on Realtor -- to bring up the negatives immediately, with no mention of positives."

Wolfus, this is exactly what I did to my husband, when we downsized at the end of lockdown.
I am not commenting or asking about your particulars.
Our situation, he was very ill and not going to get better (thanks, lockdown), and we HAD to move for single level, accessibility, plus cost.
I had to pretty much liquidate a four bedroom house with a basement that we had lived in for 25 years and raised a family in, to meet a two-month deadline to transfer to a two bedroom apartment.
It was awful, but inevitable, and the last thing I wanted to do was get into the details of something I knew was going to happen, didn't look forward to at all, and was too busy and stressed to get interested in.
Four years later, he is three years gone, and every day I thank him for what a good choice he made, as I really like it here now, even though I hated coming, and drove him batty with my refusal to engage on that.

My husband Abraham was diagnosed with a very rare sacral chordoma. The surgery to remove bone and surrounding tissue lasted almost seven hours and was successful. He had a rough night and is in a lot of pain but is finally home resting. Now recovery begins. We’re so grateful for the outpouring of prayers and kind messages from all of you. Our hearts are full.❤️

The Little Scottish Girl Smeared by the Left as a Racist Thug for Defending Her Sister Completely Vindicated as Bulgarian Brother and Sister Team Convicted of Assaulting and Making Sexual Remarks to a 12-Year-Old Child

She said she grabbed the ax and knife to defend her sister against the sexual advances of yet another immigrant with a leaning towards sex with children.

scottishgirlax.jpg

The left smeared her endlessly. Scotland's anti-white racist Muslim one-time First Minister Humza Yusef smeared her as a liar and racist stirring up hate against Mostly Peaceful immigrants.

The police concealed details about the couple the girl was defending her sister against -- concealing their nationality (people only found out they were foreign when it leaked that a Romanian translator was needed for police interviews) and the crimes they committed against the 12- and 13-year-old children.

But now the truth is revealed, and it turns out, the Islamocommunist left all lied in perfect unison again, almost as if they're intelligence assets for an invading foreign army.



A Bulgarian man has been found guilty of assaulting a 12-year-old girl during an incident in Dundee last year.

Ilia Belov, 22, was also convicted of behaving in a "threatening or abusive manner" towards four girls, all of whom were aged between 12 and 14.

Belov's sister Nadjedzha Belova, 20, earlier pleaded guilty to one charge of assaulting a 13-year-old girl in the incident, which happened in the Lochee area of the city in August 2025.

During a two-day trial, Dundee Sheriff Court heard the 12-year-old had been walking with a group of girls on their way to a bus stop when Belov made sexual remarks to her.

Giving evidence by video-link, the girl, who is now 13, recalled: "He kept saying, 'come here sexy. I will show you how to have a good time'."

She said his words made her feel "dead angry", and she turned around and began shouting at him.

Belov then phoned his sister, who arrived shortly afterwards and began attacking a 13-year-old member of the group.

In the ensuing fracas, Belov pushed the 12-year-old, who told the court she hit her head on a metal handrail as she fell to the ground.

After standing back up she pulled out an axe and knife she said had been hidden in her waistband for five to 10 minutes before the incident.

She said after revealing the weapons she was "basically sat holding them", saying she "knew" the man would "try to go for (the other girl)".

When the police arrived minutes later, the girl said she dumped the weapons on a nearby roundabout, where they were later recovered by officers.

Giving evidence during the trial with the assistance of a Bulgarian interpreter, Belov claimed he had pushed the girl in order to protect his sister after seeing she had a knife hidden under her T-shirt.

He also denied having made sexualised remarks to the girls, telling the court they had been saying derogatory things to him, including calling him a "f****** migrant".

Of course -- he said the Magic Words. He accused a Western person of Racism.

But it didn't wholly work.

Oh, it worked on the fucking communist media and their political representatives, of course.



However sheriff Timothy Niven-Smith rejected Belov's version of events, describing it as "neither credible nor reliable".

"For a number of reasons I find your evidence to be wholly unconvincing and self-serving," he said.

"It is, as was suggested by the prosecution, a revisionist or excuse.

"It is a curious set of circumstances that having been alerted to (a girl) in possession of a knife... having pushed the person in possession of the knife to the ground, you turn your back upon her.

"It is not for me to speculate, but common sense would suggest that if someone had a knife you would pay particular attention to the individual with (it), for fear that they attack you with it."

He said the girl's evidence was supported by that of two other members of the group, and by CCTV footage of the incident that was shown to the court.

What would have happened if there had been no CCTV footage? I'd say another Henry Nowak situation.

He told Belov: "I am entirely satisfied by proof beyond reasonable doubt that the trigger for all of this were the comments that you made.

"I accept that as a result of the comments you made abuse was directed at you, which included swear words, including you being called a 'f****** creep and an immigrant'.

"The words of the children were eloquent to describe your behaviour given your age and their respective ages."

He went on: "Having made the sexual remarks to the children you then, enraged by the fact that they became angry and started shouting abuse at you, followed them."

He said rather than leave the area or call the police he instead called his sister, who "immediately on arrival engaged in attacking one of the females".

...

The pair are due to be sentenced on August 5.

His defense was that he saw the girl secretly concealing a knife under her shirt -- nonsense! -- and only pushed her in a sort of Reverse Anthony Karmelo self-defense move.


Michelle Dewberry
@MichelleDewbs

Last year, a video went viral of a scared, 12 year old girl in Dundee.

She was waving weapons, shouting at a migrant to leave her alone.

Almost immediately, many on the left were calling this girl a liar (and worse). They were saying the "far-right" were whipping up 'anti-migrant hate'.

People like @HumzaYousaf
& many more called it 'bullsh*t'.

Many, including people like @jdpoc
while calling her a liar & talking about her 'hatred', showed pictures of the little girl. Just to make sure everyone knew who the 'liar' they were talking about, was.

A fundraiser for the girl was mocked, suggesting she'd use the money to buy "machetes and IronBru"

She was a child. Their posts were seen by hundreds of thousands of people.

She wasn't 'hate-filled', she was scared.

Yesterday, her version of events was proven to be true. She was sexually harassed by a migrant and another child physically assaulted too.

The man and his sister were prosecuted.

How shameful that children need to arm themselves for protection.

How shameful that adults will deny their reality.

How shameful that some people are so desperate to defend migration into this country, that they will literally mock children who are victims of their crimes.

Shame on you all.

I'll be fascinated to see how many of you publicly apologise to the girl, in the same public way that you called her a liar.

I won't hold my breath...

I hope this girl is ok.

We will never recover from these levels of Cultural Enrichment.

The individual images of "news" headlines, first smearing the girl as a racist, are worth clicking on.


humzayusef.jpg

The Daily Mail smeared her too -- and defended the couple we now know to have at least a hobbyist level of interest in Child Sexual Trafficking.

They also smeared Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk for being absolutely right about the girl.

dailmailsmears.jpg

How cooked do you have to be to look at a terrified girl holding weapons and telling someone to "fuck off" and go away and think, "oh yeah, the 13-year-old girl must be the aggressor here, 13-year-old girls are famously violent and prone to threatening full-grown men with weapons"?


brainwashed.jpg

By the way, the post a couple of images up shows another immigrant (who reflexively defends immigrants, and reflexively attacks whites, almost as if she's racist or something) smeared this little girl as being the aggressor against the full-grown man.

But her twitter banner image shows her... pretending to be a crusader for women, against the violence committed by men.

narindakaur.jpg

I've never heard of this rancid foreign hag before, until two days ago, when I saw her shrieking about how terrible the Belfast riots were, but then other people posted earlier tweets praising the BLM arsonists and rioters.

This isn't "anti" racism. This is just endless racism against whites, not only excused but endlessly covered-up for and justified by the media and Regime politicians.

No, Ace, you've got it slightly wrong.

The girl with the axe and the knife IS the 12-year-old girl he was sexually harassing.

What's confusing is that in the famous video, it is her 13-year-old sister's voice you hear saying "Stop harassing my sister!"(i.e. stop harassing the 12-year-old).

There is no victory for the natives there that doesn't involve running the guilty parties out of town on a rail. They knew exactly what they were doing.

These people, using the term loosely - the commies - are deliberately using their invader allies to spread theft, assault, rape, and murder. You don't vote and editorialize in the face of that. This is precisely why the left seeks to disarm opponents.

114 Midland Memorial Hospital received nine victims from the shooting, spokesperson Tasa Richardson said in a statement to CNN.

“Four are in the operating room and five are stable,” Richardson said.

The hospital went on lockdown around 8:20 a.m. CT “due to an active shooter event,” Richardson said. Shortly after officials said the suspect was found dead, the lockdown was lifted.

Midland is in West Texas, about halfway between Fort Worth and El Paso.

Authorities have not released any information about the suspect or a possible motive for the mass shooting.

His "culture" that he either had natively or that he developed in the New World because he could use it as a weapon too empowered him to attack the most vulnerable.

Seems this "disrespectin'" virus is sickening the West all over. See, if you use words the "victim" doesn't like, he can beat/kill you. How many times do you see arguments turn into full on, spittle-flecked rage and, if capable, murder?

161 "This isn't "anti" racism."

The woke use "anti" in a different meaning than the rest of us, on purpose. The woke want the non-woke normies to think that when the woke say "anti-racism" that what's meant is "against racism" (how the non-woke define it) But the woke really mean "anti" in the sense of "the opposite of." In the woke worldview, only white people can be racist. So what's the opposite of prejudice against a group? Prejudice against their "oppressors".

Normal worldview:
Racism = prejudice against a racial group by any other racial group.
Anti-racism = the absence of racism.

Woke worldview:
Racism = prejudice by white and only white people against any other racial group.
Anti-racism = prejudice against against whites.

In this case, he's strangling the everloving shit out of Iran and has put them in the box canyon of 'the Strait is quickly becoming irrelevant to the global oil market so you better do something if you want any money ever,' and 'we'll just keep killing your bosses until we find someone willing to quit.'

Nobody is siding with the adult male, but nothing justifies her carrying weapons. It’s not a case of who is right and who is wrong here. They were both in the wrong and should both face the consequences.

I do feel sorry for a 12 year old who is in a position where she can obtain and walk around with an axe & a knife - that is a clear signal that she does not have a good home life.

nobody involved comes out of this looking good. Guy is a fucking idiot who should've known better, kids were typical mouthy kids, and the one with the axe and knife was a huge idiot, and a statistic waiting to happen.

There's no such thing as "attacking" someone who has approached you with a giant knife and axe. It's self defence.

The old-school Bulgars were a Turkic people. The Slavs invaded over time, but the Turkic cultural influence is still there. Besides the Turkic ancestry, 8% of the modern population is actual Turkish.

10% of the Bulgarian population is Muslim (Slavic name or not). They also have a substantial Roma (gypsy) population.

Kind of obvious from the fact that there were no other headstones or markers around. Also it looks like a cheap edit.

They're usually not Muslims, or at least in the west. They generally claim the religion of whatever country they're in as protective coloration.

They have their own religion which is a mutated offshoot of Hinduism. They originally came from India, not the Middle East, and left there under hazy circumstances long before Mohammed had his first teenage fantasy about that sexy goat his uncle owned.

In Paris over a decade ago we were waiting in line to ride the funicular to Sacre Coueur Basilica.

A very tiny short gypsy man tried to put a "friendhip bracelet" on my wrist. And then, of course, ask $ for it. I told him non. A few more angry nons increasing in anger and loudness, crossing my arms and glaring at him.

He then skulked off, looking at my husband and son with great pity to be associated with moi.

He was pretty close to me pounding into the pavement.

Democrat Lawmaker: If You Don't Give Us Reparations, We'll Stop Voting for Democrats

Am I being punked?


Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa., said during an interview on Sunday that Black Americans would stop voting if they aren't given reparations.

...

"And that's what they do," she continued. "Because, again, they're trying to disenfranchise you. Because if you believe that you're never going to get reparations from this system, then you tap out, and you don't just tap out of the conversation, you tap out of the system. You don't want to vote anymore. You don't participate anymore."

"And they know that that's how they don't control Congress," Lee added. "That's how you can get your school boards, your board of supervisors. They want us that far out of this system. So right now, we fight for reparations because it's owed us. It is owed us, so we're not going to back down on that one way or another."

Lee reintroduced a resolution in May that, if passed, could give federal dollars to the descendants of enslaved people brought from Africa to the United States. Former Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo. -- who lost her 2024 primary to a more moderate Democrat -- introduced the reparations bill in the last Congress. Bush's bill, unveiled in May 2023, called for $14 trillion to be put toward reparations payments for descendants of slavery in the United States, but it did not go anywhere.

Lee told "The Native Land Pod" that she wasn't surprised Democrats weren't backing reparation efforts.

"I'm not shocked that my colleagues are not on it, that Democratic colleagues aren't on it," she said. "Again, there is a level of comfort in this building that sustains people. And I know that the people who don't want reparations back a lot of my colleagues, Democrat and otherwise. So no, I'm not shocked, but it is why we have to keep people on the outside encouraged."

The Democratic congresswoman was asked about how reparations would work in practice, and about what host Andrew Gillum said was how the right has made the term reparations so "raggedy, ugly, so unattractive that White liberals are avoiding signing onto it."

"The reality is, is that the cowardice that liberals are able to show when it comes to all types of things that sound scary, but we know you have, you know, just data, evidence, empirical evidence behind it," Lee said. "And that comes with -- that comes with police accountability, that comes with criminal legal reform, that comes with reparations, right?"

...

"We know there will be pushback," she said after she reintroduced the proposal. "Reparations are a proposal to level the playing field, but the only way we could ever have a level playing field is by remedying the harms that have been done by the system."

But Lee signaled on Wednesday that the long odds would not deter her.

Well, good! You secure that bag, bae.

Larry O'Connor also urges black Democrats to make the midterms a referendum on reparations. If we don't demand it, then who? If not now, when?

Another Stunning and Brave black female Democrat, Rep. Uncle Fester, is also pushing Reparations Now, Reparations Tomorrow, Reparations Forever, and I couldn't be happier to help this Strong Empowered Black Woman get her Lived Experience Extortionate List of Demands out there.

Chicago's idiot BlacKKK mayor also demands reparations. In April, he made the very cogent (and very bold, as we'll see later) statement that "even restaurants have ties with slavery" (what?) so that means we need reparations.

Boy you just have infinite grievances and you spam out infinite "reasons" why everyone else owes your trifling ass a free living, huh?

Mike Netter
@nettermike

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is facing criticism after linking the restaurant industry to slavery and publicly advocating for reparations during an April 2026 press conference.

Johnson argued that efforts to change tipped wage policies would negatively impact workers in an industry he said has historical ties to slavery.

"You just watched the entire city council, in transparency, try to take wages away from the very people who are part of an industry that has its ties to slavery," Johnson said.

The mayor also reiterated his support for reparations, stating, "I am boldly declaring that we need reparations in this city, and that's why I'm funding it."

He added, "I'm a Black man in America calling for the reparations of Black people... There is no hiding or escaping that. I'm taking a bold statement here."

Everyone loves when an idiot praises himself mid-sentence.

For the rest of the day, I think everyone should try to end at least one comment with, "I'm taking a bold statement here." The stupider the preceding post, the better. TJM can work it into a Prometheus post. That would be great.

A Sasquatch who was bitten by a werewolf also joined in the coordinated messaging of More Gimme-Gimme Demands.

And this guy wants to lead a black exodus back to Africa.

Well, as they say, good. There is a certain sector of the black population, the Afro-Marxist BlacKKK, that is filled with violent racism and antisocial pathology and nigh-constant racial incitement and hoaxes and implacable hatred and seething resentment that can never be appeased, and I will gladly support them making their way to the Utopia (that is totally real) where they'll all be successful now that they're free of the White Oppression which seriously you guys is the only thing holding them back.

I look forward to future news of the technologically-advanced Super-Nation of Wakanda being finally made a reality.

Good luck in mining Infinite Grievance and turning it into a super-metal.

I'm taking a bold statement here.

19 I must once again voice my hope that the Trump admin gets rid of the penalty on giving up American citizenship and actually pays people for it.

I'm confused, isn't Africa the continent where black Americans were enslaved, by black Africans? White Americans ended slavery, here in America anyway, at the cost of much blood.

If reparations are going to be paid, obviously black Africans should pay white Americans.

25 So right now, we fight for reparations because it's owed us.

First you must pay for all damage to union equipment during the war. Then you must make whole all families who fought for the North. Then you must repay the money spent in prosecuting the war. Then you must reimburse all businesses destroyed during the war. Add it all up, you owe the government some money.

79 It's funny that the Democrat Party has so fully embraced black supremacism now, over the past decade.

Because the black American population is in a massive baby bust.

Asians are the only major demo with a worse birth replacement rate.

And, to make it even funnier, the only real loyal voting group within the black demo are the Boomers, the ones who grew up in the Civil Rights Era. Every age group beneath that vote at far less rates.

So, a good part of the radicalization of the black electorate is that the only major group of younger ones that vote are the hard left because the rest just gave up on voting.

I suspect black influence on American politics is going to see a weird nosedive over the next generation. This is their peak. If they don't get reparations now, it's never, ever going to happen.

And it's not going to happen now.

According to the very underrated early-90s Jack Nicholson werewolf movie "Wolf," the bite of a wolf intensifies the spirit of the man bitten. A good man becomes a better man, a bad man becomes Al Green.

95 I must once again voice my hope that the Trump admin gets rid of the penalty on giving up American citizenship and actually pays people for it.

I would add another incentive. Various countries set up kiosks at the major airports. They buy a one way ticket, sign the paperwork renouncing their citizenship and they get a new passport and sent on their way. Make it as easy as possible for them to get out.

96 After the Civil War, and somewhere north of a trillion dollars in government assistance, reparations are well past paid.

I've heard something like 60% of employed black women work for the government.

For most companies, if you're black, you can be one of the worst candidates for a position and still get the job.

For most universities, you can not only get in, but get scholarships when Asian and white students with equivalent grades and test scores don't get in.

97 A dark part of me wants to see what would happen if you gave all blacks reparations. I think it would be Hilarious to see where that money ended up eventually. The car purchases, alone, would be funny.

I don't much care for Ben Shapiro (despite his sister's boobs"), but he always makes a valid point in reference to poverty. It is a curtural choice. And, the vast majority of poverty stems from lack of discipline and poor prioritie choices.

There is too much corruption to get anything done or maintain anything.

They don't like Black Americans.

Most Hispanics consider themselves white because they're...Hispanic. Descended from the people from Hispaniola. From Spain.

They're as white as Italians.

So, black people with a D after their name screaming about the evils of white people not paying them money for slavery hits them in ways that those who adhere to intersectionality don't understand. They just see brown skin which means oppressed so they much support the other oppressed.

To make it even worse, blacks will not (NOT) allow anyone to supplant them at the top of the intersectionality stack. This is the Dave Chappelle situation. He's not anti-trans. He's anti-trans taking the top of the intersectionality stack because he's more oppressed than they are.

So, they actively make enemies of everyone who try to play the game that blacks dominate, racial grievance politics in America.

AtC was talking about this on X.

Violence within the context of sporting events is a weird place in law. Essentially, it's a moving target of "how acceptable AND normal is this action in the sport"?

Getting hit by a baseball? Normal. Getting punched by the pitcher? Not normal.

Getting hit by a puck? Normal. Getting punched by a hockey player? Also normal.

Where does digital penetration appear in wrestling? Apparently, it's surprisingly normal. So, in terms of the law, it's going to be very hard to prove anything in court.

Sure they might win a few local elections in places like Vermont and oregon, but never again would they control the House, the Senate or the Presidency. Fine by me.

Hey c-- it just happened to "Labour," the UK's version of the Democratic Party. Their support utterly collapsed, and now they are an irrelevant second-tier fringe party.

What would happen next? Well, I predict the Democratic Socialisrt Partry will step up t fil the power void on the Left -- just as the Green Party is now replacing the Labour Party in the UK.

The Democratic Socialists are even more extreme and more toxic than the Deomcrats, but they're alo retarded, unsophisticated, and don['t have a 200-year-old "party machine" mechanism behind them, so it will take a long time dor the DemSocs to get up t the usual D level of curroption and chicanery.

In the Third World, from what I have observed traveling on Uncle Sam's dime, there is a thin veneer, similar to the old colonial system, of modernity where the cloud people go to hotels, restaurants, shops, enclaves of homes, where one is shielded.

It is when you go outside the bubble and have to deal with the rest of the country that reality sinks in. That, and dealing with governments and the hatred often between different tribes in the same country. For the most part, on my foreign deployments, we spent most of our time outside the bubble.

Digital penetration is not normal in wrestling. I wrestled in high school and still follow the college sport closely. I’ve watched hundreds of matches; I wrestled in at least 50 myself… I’ve never seen it once. It was never discussed on my team. I’ve heard it come up once. Former Penn State 5-time NCAA champ Carter Starocci was accused by a teammate after his last season ended of doing this as harassment… but not part of competition.

I've heard stories all over the map on this. Some people will swear to you, "It's called an oil check and it happens all the time." Other people will tell you, "I wrestled for years and nobody did it. If guys find out you do it regularly, they'll beat your ass."

Wrestling is weird as hell. It's perfectly acceptable and even encouraged for you to blade your hand into a dude's crack and grab a whole handful of ass to move a guy around. That much I do know.

As to whether digitally poking a dude up the butthole is normal or not, apparently that depends on the era, region, and whether you're talking to someone who actually wrestled or is just repeating what others told them.

228 I took the boys to the community pool yesterday.

6 high school girls showed up and were hanging out nearby, close enough for me to hear their conversation.

I live in one of the reddest counties in the state, a small exurban area outside of a major metro.

These girls, 17-19 years old, were having a roundabout conversation about how they were all going to have 3-4 kids each, about how long it was going to take them to marry (some in the next couple of years, others no later than 29, then they'll be really mature enough to know if they love someone enough, you know), but all with plans on no more than 2 years with their husbands alone before they started pumping out kids. It all started when they were looking at the kids playing in the pool and about how cute they all were, which led to thoughts about how cut their neighbors kids are, etc.

Gen Alpha girls, grown in a conservative area, all talking about pushing replacement rate up personally.

I mean, I don't know their thoughts on climate change, partisanship, abortion, or whatever, I just know that a random group of 6 high school girls in the conservative part of the nation were talking about having bunches of kids because that was just the culture they were raised it. It's normal.

They're one of several. They're surrounded by medium sized families. They're just going to have a bunch of kids.

Just an anecdote about how conservative areas lead birth replacement rates.

229 It's Democrats who are saying this is totally normal and just a "oil check" and guess what they lie about everything.

There is no way girls are regularly penetrating other girls in wrestling.

*If* vaginal penetration is already a "thing" in "men's wrestling" we'll that's an answer in itself, non?

"Democrats took your ancestors into slavery, and put them onto the plantations. Fact. Republicans freed the slaves and fought a war with Democrats to do so. Fact. Lyndon Johnson, Democrat, put black folks onto the welfare plantation, and made them slaves once again. Fact. You want reparations? I am your reparations. But Democrats have clouded your minds, and made many of you too blind to see it."

AtC was talking about this on X.

Violence within the context of sporting events is a weird place in law. Essentially, it's a moving target of "how acceptable AND normal is this action in the sport"?

Getting hit by a baseball? Normal. Getting punched by the pitcher? Not normal.

Getting hit by a puck? Normal. Getting punched by a hockey player? Also normal.

Where does digital penetration appear in wrestling? Apparently, it's surprisingly normal. So, in terms of the law, it's going to be very hard to prove anything in court.

Also hard to prove intent when it's already legal to put your hands in the crotch and butt area as part of a legit maneuver. By contrast, there's no issue with intent when a pitcher punches you.

But this was a tranny so he was never gonna be charged with anything. Contrast that with the poor white guy who got absolutely railroaded by fake claims that he fingered a black girl at a college party.

It's not all black people. But clearly it's many.

What's coming out now is what came out following Obama's election, and each engineered racial explosion since. A whole lot of black people openly expressing what they've always believed about white people, not something they just started believing after the latest outrage du jour. It's OK to murder white people, they've caused every problem, they're guilty of oppression just by existing, they owe us. I have to keep this in mind from day to day, it would be stupid not to.

The politicians and everyone else who encouraged this belief system have done quite well for themselves. But I can't just say they are to blame -- they found a receptive audience. People liked what they were hearing.

Even if your great-great-great-grandmother was the biggest slave owner in Alabama and ate slave babies for lunch. That has nothing to do with you.

Do black people actually believe they would be better off in Africa?

No they do not or they'd catch the next plane to Nairobi.

308 I had never heard this alleged Adam Carrolla anecdote:

If you want to destroy a man forever, give him free rent in a single room, run-down shack.
You'll come back in 20 years and he'll still be living there.

Because he'll never leave the security of free rent no matter how dilapidated and debased his condition is.

He'll destroy his whole life, abandon all ambition, foreswear all improvement just to keep that free rent.

Famously, when the US military went to villages in AF to drill wells as part of the disastrous 'hearts and minds' program, they returned only to find the wells filled in or trashed. Turned out the women did it, because having to go to a creek or distant water source was the only time they could talk to one another without being beaten or raped. ( Fuck W. What an arrogant ass. )

Most of them end up quite disillusioned at the reality of life in their ancestral homeland, complaining about the many difficulties.

Also they can't get their Gatorade and their favorite snacks on a whim.

Senator Tillis write a 15 page letter to the caucus explaining why they shouldn't pass the law.

He co-sponsored the bill.

There are at least 4 GOP senators who will never, ever vote for it (Tillis, Murkowski, Mitch, and Cassidy). Add in Cornyn, and you're at 5.

In Pennsylvania, Black immigrants—primarily from West and East Africa—make up a large and growing share of the foreign-born population.

Reportedly, Somali population statewide is estimated to be roughly 1,000 to 1,050 individuals.

The Greater Philadelphia metro area is home to an estimated 120,000 Black immigrants, with roughly 50,000 originating directly from Africa. Top Origin Groups: Liberians (the largest African nationality group), Nigerians, Ethiopians, Ghanaians, and Sierra Leoneans.

There are also fast-growing populations from North Africa (e.g., Egypt and Morocco) and Central Africa (e.g., Cameroon).

Pennsylvania is home to an estimated 10,800 to 12,600 Liberian-Americans (and lots of illegals). The vast majority reside in the Greater Philadelphia area, which hosts the second-largest Liberian community in the United States.

African immigrants are highly concentrated in Southwest Philadelphia, followed by West Philadelphia. (DNC Redistricting.)

Great idea, Reid. Let me help you pack.

Also, about those reparations. What about the many black people who have white ancestors? What percentage of reparations should go to them, since not all their ancestors were slaves? Do people whose ancestors weren’t in America during slavery days, owe reparations? Are immigrant native Africans owed reparations, since they came here voluntarily?

I don’t think you’ve actually thought this through.

68 In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

Most of them are probably researching various livestock diseases. Those are, after all, a global problem of vital importance to everyone.

Root out the ones that are deliberately trying to make those livestock diseases transmissible to humans, and leave the legit agricultural functions alone.

84 Speaking of investing, I know Broadway musicals are risky, but this was from Deadline. How could it not make a few billion?

"Slam Frank, the critically acclaimed and provocative new musical that reimagines Anne Frank’s story “through an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-Latin hip-hop lens,” will begin a limited engagement Off Broadway this September.

The musical, directed by Sam LaFrage, played to sold out houses during its developmental presentation at Asylum NYC. - lol - appropriate place

Inspired by a viral Twitter thread that asked, “Did Anne Frank ever acknowledge her white privilege?”, Slam Frank imagines what happens when a progressive community theater company decides to transform Anne Frank’s story into an intersectional, multiethnic, genderqueer, Afro-Latin hip-hop musical. Producers describe the musical as “part satire, part reckoning, all conversation-starter.”"

I think the total number of updates/patches for linux is about the same as Microsoft. But Microsoft's update program blows chunks since Windows 7 and has always been a resource hungry and ill behaved program that often just stops working on updates.

Linux, almost always runs updates in a sane and fast fashion. The only problem sometimes is usually related to outside repositories.

Never had issues with Apple updates either except when they no longer allow an update and security patches in order to force you to buy new hardware.

There is one year grace period for those on Windows 10 that either allowed online backup or paid $25 bucks or something. But, there is a company that installs security patches (not upgrades, etc.) for old windows versions that goes back to at least Windows 7. The problem there is that you have to either use unsupported unsafe browsers or something like Supermium or the Firefox analog. If you are still running 32 bit machines, you are now pretty much SOL unless you pick one of the dwindling number of Linux distros specifically for it.

I got a circa 2000 BX2 running Debian Trixie, barely, in order to remove data from a hard drive--windows 98 would no longer boot nor install. That was last summer and was the last Debian Linux 32 bit version.

As soon as the insane prices for new hardware go away, I will be building one that has enough umph to run containers and get rid of my history museum of computers that still run specific useful programs that I don't want to pay to upgrade.

He's trying to gin up headlines because Disclosure Day was tracking really badly. It cost about $120 million.

Thursday previews last night indicate a $35 million opening weekend is about what it'll get in the US. If it does decently overseas, it could crawl to the break even point by the end of a two month theatrical run, but it's doubtful.

It's long been known by movie marketers that that's how you actually drum up interest in the wider audience.

You have to tell them what they're going to see.

The trailers that are really just vague teasers don't gin up nearly as much interest.

To run Windows 11 comfortably, it takes a minimum of 16 gb and runs best at 32 gb or higher. To run Linux without containers, etc. it takes at least 8 gb, preferably 16 gb, and better yet at 32 gb and up.

You can run Windows 11 or most distros of Linux with less than 8 but it is a slow as molasses in winter and getting frisky with windows open, etc can crash the programs.

32 GB of ram in DDR5 runs anywhere from 400-600 right now. Solid State Storage Devices made from memory chips have also skyrocketed especially in the higher capacities. Which is also dragging up prices on really old spinning rust hard drive tech. It used to be shortages of video cards driving system prices because of crypto mining, now it is AI bullshit that is gobbling up resources for frontier models. Three big consumers--Gemini by Google, Open Ai, and Anthropic with Claude with Elon's xAi behind the leaders. In fact, Elon's Space X is making bank renting resources.

Um...no. Various a-holes have been trying to reveal the "real" existence of aliens for decades. And for a while everybody was interested in the prospect, not scared, not losing their faith, just interested. But, now, I think they're just bored with the whole idea.

It is a bubble and it will pop sooner or later. Basically all three of the main AI competitors are shoveling money on hardware into the furnace in order to be top dog. Google at least has an existing revenue stream from legacy systems, Open Ai and Anthropic are dueling to be the Google alternative with investor and borrowed cash--one of those companies is likely to crash and burn because neither are going much toward general AI but rather machine learning.

That requires more and more training data that simply is not there unless you start feeding your models AI slop which ends up making the models insane.

If you notice, Elon is being smart by keepin xAi behind the leaders and is actually making bank renting his older Colossus hardware to his competitors for billions per month. The insane needs for frontier model creations on shorter and shorter timelines is going to go bust in the next year or so.

Not enough power, not enough chips, not enough buildings, not enough water cooling, and the insane demands are pushing pricing on these resources up.

It was never a secret. US after the fall of the Soviet Union was afraid that scientists would migrate to China, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, etc. in the 90's so they created a make work employment program for biological and chemical warfare scientists in the former Soviet Republics. Like always, once such a program is created, it never goes away and eventually the CIA got deeply involved in a big way with it and the program expanded to places like China and Wuhan.

Knew some of the policy guys that originally set the program up as Sam Nunn and Richard Lugar were deeply involved in that. Same with retrieval of nuke stuff from those former Soviet Republics.

THE MORNING RANT

My apologies, but I’m traveling, so I have no exploding EVs nor rants about Principled Free Traders
today. Not even an upright bass. But here’s a little filler until Ace gets here:

Wisconsin Democrats provided some comic relief with this since-deleted post they put up to celebrate National Dairy Month. What’s hilarious is that while we reality-based people were mocking the Democrats for putting up a picture of bulls, it is 100% consistent with where Democrats stand on issues:

Happy Dairy Month - Wisconsin Dems.png


• Democrats are completely oblivious about agriculture.

• Since Democrats believe that cross-dressing men have menstrual cycles and can lactate, it is entirely consistent for Dems to believe that trans-cows (e.g. bulls) can be milked.

*****

My wife and I had a guilty pleasure for several years of watching “Live PD” and its successor “On Patrol Live.” The encounters with “sovereign citizen” were especially entertaining. Sovereign citizens think of themselves as a being a country unto themselves, or something like that, and they expect those they encounter to play along in their make-believe world.

While watching police interact with sovereign citizens, I occasionally made the observation that the entire “they/them” thing is very similar. If someone wants to look in the mirror and believe that he is the sovereign ruler of the Republic of 2914 Birchwood Street, more power to him. Just like a dude can put on women’s clothes, look in the mirror, and pretend there’s a woman staring back at him. But the rest of us don’t have to play along.


If you’ve never seen a police encounter with a “sovereign citizen,” here’s an entertaining one that is not too long.

For the "Trump is just like Obama and giving Iran everything" crowd:

From the administration, the terms of the deal are:

"1. Nuclear material will be destroyed and removed
2. Nuclear program will be dismantled
3. None of their money released until they perform
4. Strait of Hormuz will be open
5. No Iran funding of terrorist groups

This is what they have agreed to. This is a performance-based deal.”

Trump uses carrots as a way to get what he wants, which is what's good for the US. Obama WANTED to strengthen Iran to the point it could destroy Israel and threaten us.

Obama made a big point of hiring black contractors to build his Nazi flak tower in Chicago.

The cost of the flak tower has escalated from $350 million to $850 million.

Guess who is expected to eat the cost overruns.

Suckers!

The headline of an unfortunately paywalled article in Crain's Chicago Business:

The Obama Presidential Center was meant to lift up local contractors. Some are now fighting for survival.

Honestly, I would have expected the style to be more like bikinis, heels, and dog collars studded with fake diamonds. Hard-looking breast implants and depersonalizing Mar-a-Lago Face cosmetic surgery. All with mixed signs of brutal dominance and submission and themes of American Flags and Trump's name.

No stories about my wife being labor or speedometer broken or I though the limit was 75 not 55 ooopsie. I’m honest and say yeah I was going a little fast, sorry about that.

Why such a low ratio of tickets to warning? Because when I get pulled over it’s nothing but yes officer no officer. Car turns off. Hands on the wheel license insurance and registration ready and handed over immediately. Also no bullshit. No stories about my wife being labor or speedometer broken or I though the limit was 75 not 55 ooopsie. I’m honest and say yeah I was going a little fast, sorry about that.

Cops have to deal with dumbfucks like the sovereign guy all day long. They’ve also heard all the bullshit excuses 100 times. If they encounter someone who gives them no problems, provides no bullshit they will very much appreciate it and more often than not, let you go with a “slow down next time” instead of a ticket.

Posted by: Heroq at June 12, 2026 11:23 AM (cZDTf)


Exactly.

I think I've only gotten 2 tickets through the years.

Also, they (the experts) used to tell you to hop out of the car because it's polite and the cop doesn't have to worry about you.

I was heading to NE Tx one time with the wife as a passenger. Speed limit changed, but I didn't back off cruise control.

Cop asked me what my hurry was, I told him I just didn't hit the brake pedal to back down. I gave him my license and carry permit. He asked me if I was armed and I said yes. "Don't give me a reason to worry about it." "NOPE!"

Then some idiot woman went blowing by us instead of slowing down as required, so he told me to slow down and have a nice day as he took off after her.

U of C has security patrols all around the area to the west of Obama's hideous building.

I saw a car flying a large black and white Stars and Stripes with a single blue stripe.

What's that all about?

"Honoring" fallen LEO(s). A red stripe "honors" fallen firefighters. I heard somewhere that a green stripe "honors" fallen emergency responders.

I am not a fan of this practice either.

Obama made a big point of hiring black contractors to build his Nazi flak tower in Chicago.

The cost of the flak tower has escalated from $350 million to $850 million.

Guess who is expected to eat the cost overruns.

So. I have a story. In the before times, my folks took my sister and I to the Dakotas. We did the tourist stuff in the Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Little Bighorn, et al.

Whilst at the Little Bighorn, we saw this enormous, anatomically correct bison statue. Friggin huge, it was. Entire families standing under it. I was about 14, my sister was about 9. She stood directly under the Bison Balls, pointed, and asked 'What is that?'

My mother, prim, proper, sensitive to the judgement of others, didn't respond. To my sister, this failure could only be explained by the idea that perhaps mom didn't hear. So she tried again. Slower. At full volume. "MOM! WHAT! IS! THAT!"

I'm absolutely DYING because I know this isn't socially appropriate AND that my mom can't really do anything but answer at this point.

This was back in the day when there were those shoulder-mounted video cameras and shoulder-strap carry packs. I know with absolute certainty there are at least six families still watch their videos and die laughing.

219 Sovereign citizens are certainly a different bunch, though in some ways it's not a totally unforeseeable response to an ever-encroaching bureaucratic state that nickels and dimes you at every turn. Of course now if you assert your Constitutional rights at all, say right to remain silent or not providing consent to a cop searching your vehicle, they will sneer at you "what are you one of those sovereign citizens?"

So while they really don't have any law in their favor, and some are really on the fringe, I can also see them as something of an allergic reaction to ever-increasing petty tyranny - erecting a multitude of new offices and sending hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

221 The Obama Center's Museum Tower looks like a castle keep. (Granite exterior with few windows.)

There's also the Forum Building and the Library (a branch of the Chicago Library), and the Home Court, a 60,000 sq. ft. athletics and recreation center.

Parks and courtyards on the 19.3 acre campus include an Eleanor Roosevelt Fruit & Vegetable Garden; a garden pavilion named for former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and the Ann Dunham Water Terrace.

The Presidential Center is bordered by water on its eastern side, where the campus sits directly adjacent to Jackson Park’s historic West Lagoon.

Very much a monument. (Hopefully, no more than that.)

The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing.

What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth. Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith.

It's a trick question either way. You just say "yes," you're admitting guilt to speeding. If you say "no," you are admitting guilt as to speeding because going fast is built into the question and you just accepted it as a given. It's also a possible admission to distracted driving or some other analog because you just admitted you weren't paying attention to your speed. Sponge has the correct answer - exercise your right to remain silent. The only exception might be if you have hard evidence that you did not commit the infraction - such as a GPS equipped dash/rear camera that also tracks your speed - but if you tip your hand they might fabricate some other infraction just so they "win."

The problem with recency bias is that everything is judged from a personal experience, which may not be sufficient to understand what all is actually going on. I won't go into the intricacies of humiliation those mistresses would have brought to Eleanor in her social class, however that sort of act would fit her entitled and rather bloody minded attitude against the world.

(This was 1998 so PACER wasn't the thing it is now.) He was making a big deal about being a reserve major and the stuff he wrote was absolutely pure nonsense. I wish I could remember what it was but it was chock full of word games and such.

The only exception might be if you have hard evidence that you did not commit the infraction - such as a GPS equipped dash/rear camera that also tracks your speed - but if you tip your hand they might fabricate some other infraction just so they "win."

Have you seen the video of the cop who pulls a woman over, and tells her he stopped her because he saw her using her phone with her right hand? She then holds up her right arm, and she's got no hand. She laughs and asks if they're done. The cop double and triples down after she just proved he could not possibly have seen what he claims to have seen. She had to take it to court where they dropped the charges minutes before the hearing.

In 1934, Mrs. Roosevelt joined the NAACP.

Long after her husband's presidency, she served as a delegate to the United Nations, chaired the committee that drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and continued to actively support and finance grassroots civil rights groups like CORE and the SNCC. (National Women's' History Museam)

311 There is road construction on a highway I take often to get into town. The barrels and lowered speed limit signs are always there, whether there is a crew working or not. I generally slow down whether I see anybody at work or not. If I do, I always get tailgated. You often get tailgated if you proceed at the regular speed anywhere on that highway. I like to imagine they have a medical emergency and have to speed, but they probably don’t. C’est la vie.

18 "The Death of General Wolfe depicts the Battle of Quebec, also known as the Battle of the Plains of Abraham, on September 13, 1759. This was a pivotal event in the Seven Years' War and decided the fate of France's colonies in North America.

The battle was fought between the British Army and the French Army; the pitched fighting lasted only fifteen minutes. The British Army was commanded by General Wolfe. Although successful in holding the British line against the French and winning the battle, General Wolfe was mortally wounded by several gunshots.

In death, General Wolfe gained fame as a national hero. He became an icon of Great Britain's victory during the Seven Years' War to people throughout the British Empire. There were lines to see this painting stretching out the door at its first exhibition in London."

31 The Death of General Wolfe commemorates the 1759 Battle of Quebec, where General James Wolfe died at the moment of victory. (Wikipedia)

National Gallery of Canada: Benjamin West
The Death of General Wolfe
1770
Category:
European and American Painting, Sculpture, and Decorative Arts
Wolfe’s death in the battle to conquer Quebec in 1759 still resonated when West painted this work, its defining image. The men around Wolfe include portraits of fellow officers and representative types – enlisted soldiers, a settler in green, an Indigenous warrior. Pose, gesture and expression – ranging from stoic reserve to tears – eloquently tell the story. Unusually, West added carefully observed details of contemporary clothing and weaponry to anchor the scene in reality, and so connect to his audience. His goal was not to persuade viewers of the literal truth of his painting, but to move them to emulate Wolfe’s self-sacrifice. The canvas made the artist’s reputation.
--
General James Wolfe’s reported last words at the Battle of Quebec on September 13, 1759, were:
"Now, God be praised, I will die in peace" (sometimes recorded as "Now, God be praised" (History Hit)

An interesting lesson.

The scene includes an Indigenous warrior kneeling in the foreground, representing the "noble savage" ideal and British colonial alliances, despite historical evidence suggesting no Indigenous fighters were present at the battle.
Historical Inaccuracies: The painting is a figurative rather than literal representation; only one figure, Lieutenant Henry Browne holding the flag, was actually present when Wolfe died.

I have 5-10 years left before retiring early-ish. If I had the means I’d be retired today. That’s because work for me is a means to an end, not the end itself. For people like pelley and 90 years left old senators, without their job they’re lost. And it’s pathetic.

The colors are vibrant and the scenes often have have historical or mythological themes, which can be interesting. But the people in them seem more like mannequins. I prefer looking at the buildings and backgrounds and landscape features which better show his talent.

I won't judge the content of this one except to note that it isn't accurate. I had ancestors on both sides of the Battle of Quebec and some of them would have thought Wolfe, that Limey invader, got what he deserved.

When he said, "we've shipped over 100 million barrels and Iran didn't know" that was just the flash bang that hid the real action:

1) Iran doesn't know what we are doing. Even in the Strait that is key to their whole strategy.
And he just laughed in their face and told them that.

2) 100% of the media source their info about what is going on to ... Iran and their proxies.
Because no one in the media had a clue about that either.
Keep that in mind when you read the next "expert" that says Trump is losing/being deceived/etc. by Iran.

So if he'd been more manly and robust, he might have been better able to survive his bullet wounds. On the other hand, he would have been a larger target and maybe hit by more bullets.

The figure in the center of the group on the left is Robert Monckton, one of Wolfe's commanders, while the figure cradling him is Lt. Isaac Barre. The Indian is not identified, except that he's a Mohawk, which makes sense.

I pulled this from Fred Anderson's Crucible of War. Oddly, Anderson has very little use for Wolfe, in complete contrast with Francis Parkman's take.

Even if you didn't have the funds, I know (even when I cry and complain) the prayers and intentions of all y'all are probably more responsible for me making it this far than my own meager strength can manage. Thank you for every last bit!

From the administration, the terms of the deal are:

"1. Nuclear material will be destroyed and removed
2. Nuclear program will be dismantled
3. None of their money released until they perform
4. Strait of Hormuz will be open
5. No Iran funding of terrorist groups

This is what they have agreed to. This is a performance-based deal.”

The Morning Report — 6/ 12 /26

OFFRAMPS.jpg


Good morning kids. And so the breaking news this morning is that Iran and the United States have come to terms to bring hostilities to an end, just as the clock was winding down to about three hours before the latest aerial assault by the USAF was set to take off.

The main hangup, according to the source, was “sequencing,” referring to the order in which the terms of the arrangement would be fulfilled.

Those terms have included reopening the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the US blockade of Iranian ports, releasing frozen Iranian funds and Iran’s willingness to discuss a plan to destroy, degrade or transfer its stockpile of enriched uranium and vow to never seek a nuclear weapon.

While Iran has repeatedly demanded economic incentives before it would sign an MOU, Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week told Congress that lifting sanctions would only be considered in exchange for real nuclear concessions.

Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly refused to release frozen Iranian assets to begin the talks.

The apparent breakthrough happened after US forces pounded Iran’s coasts overnight, targeting missile and radar systems in retaliation for the Islamic Republic downing an American Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz Monday night, as source familiar with the operation told The Post.

The strikes lasted approximately four hours and ended shortly before dawn broke across Iran, targeting the theocratic regime’s “military surveillance capabilities, communication systems and air defense sites,” according to US Central Command.

Trump announced the agreement hours after threatening to strike Iran “VERY HARD TONIGHT” in a Thursday morning post to Truth Social, adding that the US would also soon invade Kharg Island, a hub of Iranian oil refinement.

“At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after 8 a.m.


For me, the fly in the ointment as it were is that the Iranian regime and its ability to terrorize the world and its own citizenry as it has done ever since Jimmy Carter pig-piss be upon him allowed them to take over the country 47 years ago and metastasize into the sharp edge of the Islamic sword that has shed oceans of blood, quite a bit of it American, in that time. So color me highly skeptical...

If (the Houthis) and Iran’s other proxies now watch the United States reach for the familiar off-ramp — sanctions relief and a deal that lets its terror network survive intact — they’ll read it as confirmation that pain pays, just as Tehran taught them.

And a presidential administration that has shown its readiness to act would be squandering its own leverage if it trades pressure for the illusion of calm.

The key point is this: The Islamic Republic is not Venezuela. Rodriguez and her cronies are corrupt autocrats who want to survive; pressure can change their calculus.

Iran’s rulers are corrupt too, but the regime’s true believers also see themselves as participants in a religious struggle for jihad.
Therefore, breaking the cycle requires maintaining US pressure on Iran’s oil, drone and missile procurement networks — without trading sanctions relief for promises that will only evaporate.

It also requires treating Iran’s proxy network as a single target, from the Houthis astride Bab al-Mandab to the shops in Venezuela assembling Iranian drones, rather than chasing each flashpoint after it ignites.
And it requires providing US support to the millions of Iranians who want to bring down the regime — and have been on the streets for years facing the brutal Islamist security services alone. 
All of this is grounded in a refusal to allow the regime any lifeline to continue its external aggression and internal repression. 

And lest we forget, the Regime is propelled not merely by the personal venality and egomania of its leadership but primarily by Islam and its eternal quest for the subjugation of humanity, or its destruction should that goal be unobtainable. And bear in mind that with Shia Twelverism, unleashing Armageddon in the quest for global conquest is a prerequisite!

Another Taqqiya sunrise?! It sure seems that way. Can the Mullahs outlast Trump's final two years or so and are they counting on perhaps a Democrat and RINO/isolationist assisted Congress coming to power via the midterms to keep them in power, just as Congress betrayed the South Vietnamese in 1975 and unleashed the Killing Fields on southeast Asia?

We'll have to wait and see as the President is wont to say...

Just as I'm posting this, I'm hearing news that the Iranian foreign ministry is now denying that any deal at all has been reached.

Remember how the 20 point “peace deal” with Hamas was going to remove Hamas from power within 30 days? Nobody else remembers that either, especially not Hamas.

It’s almost like Muslims always lose the wars, and then always win the “negotiations” as the west gets distracted and wanders away.

38 Thank you JJ

I’m just a nobody commenting on this smart military blog, but I will say for the umpteenth time: Trump has to quit with this deal NONSENSE. Just stop it and bomb and blockade the crap out of them. They will never keep any deal; they have no intention of ever doing so. In their mind, any deal is a win… because they survive.

I do not see Trump playing 3D chess; I see him stepping on his dick. I love the man… best prez of my lifetime, but this is not his finest hour. God I hope I’m wrong…

39 Trump stalling again, I see.

The thing to remember is that we really don't know WHY.

But you look at the details )if you have the patience), and when it gets to how they haven't worked out about handing over the uranium you know there's really no deal.

The disturbing possibility is that the US missile shortage could be somewhat real, I think.

But they could just be taking some time to assess what damage they did and update the target list.

The talk of taking Kargh Island has to be just talk. You wouldn't say you were going to do that ahead of time if you were actually going to do it. Some sort of misdirection is going on.

This is an 80-20 issue, with the 20 represented here. No one wants American soldiers to die for Iranians that want to stay in their death to America country. They didn't rise up, so rather than give them more reasons to hate us (by bombing them to the stone ages), it's time to head out. Can is kicked...we can reset in another decade.

They were conspicuously absent during the hostilities. Whether that was by design or not was, IMO, a mistake.

I know they lacked weapons, and did, occasionally provide some tactical intel, but they really didn't play much of a part.

The goal is to end the Iranian problem, once and for all. That can only mean regime change. The trick is to do it without a massive land invasion. There are undoubtedly many other ways to do it, but it will involve insurgency. The Iranian people will be the boots on the ground.

The uranium is the canary in the coal mine. It's the bare minimum for even a short term "fix". It's when they say they're close to a deal, but THAT stuff hasn't been worked out, you immediately know it's BS.

The problem with declaring victory and walking away: The problem persists. As you said above it’s kicking the can down the road. Maybe it’s kicked 10 years… maybe 5, maybe 20… but the pebble is still in the shoe.

I had thought, perhaps foolishly, that Trump intended to solve the Iranian problem once and for all. It’s a shame if he’s decided that’s not possible after all… because then this whole exercise repeats in N years… or maybe never because will we have a prez then with the stones that Trump has?

For perspective, the United States military lost in Vietnam almost 10,000 aircraft (3,744 planes, 5,607 helicopters and about 1,000 UAVs). Out of 5.25 million sorties in the war.

Our very low loss rate in Iran is a testament to our prowess in the air, and well-maintained aircraft.

We've lost ~20 UAVs, 6 fighters, one KC-135. A C-130, 4 little bird helos and I think 2 Apache helos total.
Well, and some ground losses. The E-3 Sentry was the one that hurt. Don't have a lot of them.

The salient point that you conveniently omit is that Saddam was still there are GW1.

Here is a nice take-down of journalists feeling they are entitled to jobs and to do whatever they want, bosses be damned

https://tinyurl.com/4yp8cehe

Two paragraphs for you -

"The Pelley situation illustrates a long-standing problem that has infected elite media culture: the belief that journalism is not a job but a calling, and that journalists, by virtue of their mission, are exempt from the ordinary rules of professional conduct. The press badge becomes a kind of moral shield. Editors at the upper level are obstacles to truth rather than supervisors with authority. And getting fired is not a professional consequence but an assault on the First Amendment.

This is absolute nonsense, and it does real damage to the credibility of the profession."

“I don’t think that pro-lifers are white-supremacists, do you?” Gill asked Southern Poverty Law Center President Bryan Fair, citing the SPLC’s claim that “restricting and banning abortion is a tool the far-right uses to maintain white supremacy.”

About 40% of abortions in the U.S. kill black babies, Gill said, despite African Americans only making up 13% of the population.

“Does that sound like something a white supremacist would oppose?” he asked.

What would be the alternative? Do you think we should level Iran and then be on the hook to rebuild it and run it? There aren't always easily achieved perfect outcomes. Sometimes you take the one that sucks the least.

You know what nobody talks about anymore? Venezuela. Trump made a deal there too, got control of the oil, got the Panama Canal back in western hands and we didn't have to rebuild a failed country. And there was no regime change. I was told that would be impossible as well.

Apparently, all of the Middle Eastern countries are onboard with the deal at least for now, including Israel. And unlike us they aren't hearing the details of the deal from the media. Trump has earned my trust when it comes to issues like this.

"A permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
A U.S. commitment not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs and to respect the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Full lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days.
A U.S. commitment to withdraw its forces from areas surrounding Iran.
Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under arrangements determined by Iran.
Suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products, and related derivatives, along with full Iranian access to the resulting financial revenues.
The United States and its allies would be required to present reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion.
A 60-day negotiation period aimed at reaching a final agreement covering nuclear issues and the complete removal of U.S. primary and secondary sanctions, as well as the repeal of relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and the IAEA Board of Governors.
Reaffirmation by Iran of its commitment under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) not to produce nuclear weapons.
During the negotiation period, the United States

Posted by: runner at June 12, 2026 09:03 AM (GD0B3)

236 would commit not to deploy additional forces to the region and not to impose any new sanctions.
The release of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets during the 60-day final negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before negotiations begin.
Establishment of a monitoring mechanism to oversee implementation of the agreement.
The final agreement would be approved through a UN Security Council resolution.
Final negotiations would not begin before the release of half of Iran’s frozen assets, the suspension of oil sanctions, and the lifting of the naval blockade. The final agreement would focus exclusively on the future of enriched nuclear material and uranium enrichment, sanctions relief, and a program for rebuilding Iran’s economy. Discussion of Iran’s missile program and its support for resistance groups would be definitively excluded from the agenda.

NO: Suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products, and related derivatives, along with full Iranian access to the resulting financial revenues.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a 🙂 to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. 🤔 One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.

259 I don't think the administration really thinks Iran will adhere to any "MOU" or whatever. There will be fighting in Lebanon by this time next week and multiple drone attacks or missiles launched by rabid IRGC "commanders" in the field as well.

Iran has at most a dysfunctional "government" right now. We're not dealing with one or two or even several Iranian mullahs. We're dealing with a mash-up of Islamic nutjobs, all with their own agendas.

If, by chance they all agree to cool their jets for a while I'd be pleasantly surprised.

My tentative inference is that their level of grift in public administration has become so bad, they're just literally incapable of doing things now, and replacing Two-Tier Keir wouldn't fix *that* problem.

I look at the California's bespoke, artisanal cougar/butterfly bridge, which crossed $100M without being completed, while other states can accomplish the same function for $15M. So that gives us a floor of at least 85% fraud and waste in Cali, likely higher. And Europe's gov't admin cultures are older, with likely more pervasive and stubbornly endemic grift.

Can you imagine if only 5% of public spending made it to the intended function? Why, you would struggle to stop an invasion of lightly-armed barbarians in rubber boats! That this is actually happening doesn't prove it, but it fails to disconfirm the hypothesis.

ABC News, What to know about the EU's new rules on migration and asylum
The European Union is set to implement a new set of rules governing how each of its 27 member states will deal with irregular migration and asylum seekers

Reading all recommended.
--
anewz.tv
The European Commission has proposed banning entry to the EU for anyone who has served in the Russian armed forces since the start of the war in Ukraine, as part of a new sanctions package against Moscow.

The measure still requires approval from all 27 EU member states before it can take effect.

The proposed 21st sanctions package would also target Russia's energy sector, banks and fisheries, which Brussels says are key sources supporting Moscow's war effort.

344 The MOU is the first offer the Irainian carpet salesmen offered. End the war, (on all fronts) end the blockade, and we'll talk about the nuclear issue, "later". Later of course means "never". Friends: it was TACO Thursday, we all know it.

Oil Execs came to the Whitehouse this week and told Trump unless supplies are massively increased, get ready for $150 oil. The inflation data says we're back to 4% inflation, double the rate the economic experts would like. Mid-term polling is showing a near wipe out, that means 2027 will be the year of another Presidential Impeachment. Trump is responsible. The two month pause when they were nearly on their knees killed any chance of a Nuclear-Free Iran.

There is no political support for this.

It's all song and dance. Iran was reminded if you get out of line, we will make you pay for it. The deal or a deal is just being run out there for time. Economically the country is being killed. It takes time. The oil is being re-routed such that soon Hormuz will mean only how can Iran survive. Talk of annoynace with Trump's need for a deal misreads the entire plot. The GOP is not losing the Senate and probably will hold the House because of math. Iran is misreading that as well.

Top Story



Tech News

  • Running a little late because my boss really wanted the Australian team (including me) to pass a new feature to the QA team in the US before the end of the day. I wasn't sure but said I'd give it a try.

    It worked flawlessly the first time.


  • xAI is offering 66% off for three months for their SuperGrok upgrade if you want to play with it - down from $30 per month to $10. I find Grok very useful for correlative searches that used to require lots of manual digging in Google, and before that an entire wall of paper manuals, so I'm giving it a try.


  • OpenAI is also considering cutting prices. (CNBC)

    Smells like IPO season.

    Worth noting is that xAI (part of SpaceX) is now profitable. OpenAI is very definitely not.


  • Xbox is hosed says Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty. (Engadget)

    Not mentioned: Who hosed it.


  • I haven't seen an official announcement but RTX 3060 and 3050 cards are popping up again. (Tom's Hardware)

    The 3060 is a decent card.


  • Technocommunists are eating each other over in Europe. (ZDNet)

    Again.


  • Luis Rossman is suing Samsung over SSD warranties. (Tom's Hardware)

    As the article notes, one of Rossman's 4TB Samsung 990 Pro drives failed. He sent it back, and they... Sent the dead drive right back to him, saying it was fine.

    He runs a high-end computer repair shop so he has the tools to hand to prove it was not fine.

    Samsung offered him a refund - of the original price. The drive now costs three times as much.

    But none of that is why he's suing them. They offered him a refund, claiming they don't have the drive in stock to provide a warranty replacement.

    But the drive is literally in stock right this moment. Samsung just didn't want to honour the warranty.

59 An Iranian news source has released the Memorandum's of Understanding; looks like the Pakistani sources appear to confirm; they negotiated it.

US gives Iran $24 billion.
US agrees no discussion of Irans ballistic missile program.
No provisions for nuclear material, but US and Iran agree to talk about it for 60 days after US forces stand down and promise never to bother Iran again.

Bloomberg reports that deal will be signed in Switzerland, possibly on Sunday.

USA flag booed before World Cup 2026 opening game in Mexico City

The United States flag appeared to be met with loud boos and jeers before the opening game of the World Cup in Mexico City.

Ahead of the big kick-off between Mexico and South Africa, the flags of all 48 teams participating in this summer’s tournament were paraded onto the pitch.

The final three flags to take to the pitch were those of the three North American co-hosts, the United States, Canada and Mexico.

However, there was a marked change in atmosphere when the United States were introduced and their flag was displayed on the stadium’s big screen.

From jubilant roars, the noise of the crowd shifted, with loud boos audible as the flag of the United States was brought forward.

First of all, it's a field not a pitch. Secondly, go fuck yourselves.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A Bloomington man told police he’d been disassembling his handgun while drinking Jim Beam whiskey when the loaded firearm discharged and punched through his dining room wall.

Next door, his neighbor was peacefully crocheting in her living room when the bullet struck her in the arm. Fortunately, the projectile had lost most of its velocity and didn’t break skin, though it did cause her pain.

The Bloomington Police Department arrested Kaleb Ford, 21, of Bloomington on Tuesday. He was charged in Monroe County court with criminal recklessness, a Level 5 felony.

247 There was a Planters Peanuts brand store in the town I grew up near. They had a rack of those machines like gumball dispensers, but for various nuts. Some were a nickel, others a dime or quarter. About a handfull.

But the real deal was the counter where you could get warm, freshly roasted and salted nuts by the pound.

The salted pecans.... OMG

In the fall our grocery had a wooden barrel to dispense apple cider into your own jug. Fermentation was on you, and then putting the jug into a snow bank to get slushy, skim off the ice crystals, instant hard cider (after a few weeks).

Posted by: Diogenes


My folks had one of those, with the guard unlocked. It was in the middle room of the bathhouse by the pool here on the ranch. Kept stocked with all the best; I had a thing for Grape soda. Or Dr Pepper (original formula). From the long-gone local bottling plant. Sometimes had to shuffle bottles around in the slots to get what you want.

Since they tore the pool and bathhouse down after Dad died in '68, I think it's been gathering dust out in the metal shed (as opposed to the old cement shed). We'll be hauling it out and dusting it off one of these days, see if it still works.

Every summer here in Oklahoma, especially days like today, I miss that great old swimming pool.

292 Thanks, Doof!

My rock and roll band is Thunder Sinners.

I love the soccer vs football meme! Lol.

I once played with those little plastic Army men with my brother. We dug elaborate caves in one part of the yard for them. The soil has a lot of Yazoo clay running through it, so we'd take some time off to make little bowls and be Indians.

No wars between us at the time and unsure who we were fighting.

However, when I was six years old on a trip to the NC and Virginia mountains and DC on the backseat window ledge (as who needs seatbelts), I learned tragically that the North won the Civil War. My brother had the blue Yanks and I had Confederate grey men.Because as oldest I won at everything. I said, "Start the war" and after skirmishes I said I won. My father crushed me when he told me otherwise.

I am sure I said, "You are kidding me" as this is how most of our conversations went.

I have never been the same.

The photos would have to be suitable if seen in a day care, of course. Beyond that, the lady in the photo selects the clothing. The description should include where the clothes came from, or the collection, so the ladies who read that section can add pieces they like.

We already established that the Ettes and the wives of Morons and lurkers are beautiful, so that won't be a problem. I suspect most are better looking than high fashion models.

Then a daughter got out in red/black flannel pj's and a hoodie. It was 80 degrees. A more normal daughter got out in jeans and a tee shirt. What on earth? It was 3pm and flannel girl looked like she just rolled out of bed.

I said to my husband I don't get it. Why don't people care what they look like anymore? Is it because I'm Southern? What on earth? He doesn't know, either.

In reality I'd taken my husband to the doctor for an appt and was in the car listening to rock with the AC on to irritate anyone who is liberal and might notice.

********
In the early '90's I got roller blades for Christmas for me and my boys. I had a vision of the great legs that summer at the beach for me.

I had forgotten how to skate. It was rather pitiful Christmas Day in FL with a movie recording us trying on the sidewalk. I fell once only vs sons. Filmed.

You can hear my parents and husband laughing when I fell. I caught myself with my hand and managed to fx a bit of my elbow. It is recorded of me flapping my arm around til I felt a pop and said that feels better...til it got like Popeye's arm overnight. A wee fx and I needed a sling and gave the rollerblades to a friend.

My father then decided to teach one son with one skate and holding onto him. Which does not make a bit of sense and the entire video is hilarious.

Years ago there was a race that originated from a nowhere parking lot in Watertown, MA and ended in Marblehead, MA at Maddie's. It was really more of an excuse to party. They called it The Great Race.

Started on a bar bet and the only rule was you had to go from Watertown to Marblehead without a motorized vehicle. People walked, ran, bicycled, made all kinds of stupid stuff because it was really just an excuse to get to the party at in Marblehead. My ex roller skated the entire way on those metal clamp on skates.

I just learned about something fascinating I've never heard of: The Gothenburg Flip, otherwise formally called the Gothenburg Magnetic Excursion.

This was a geomagnetic anomaly that happened ~14 - 13 kya. The Erf's magnetic field apparently did a very rapid little reversal and then returned to previous direction. A little rapid, but temporary pole flip. Some argue about whether it was global, or just a local event of some strange sort where the samples were found.

And that time frame puts it just right at the start of the big glacial collapses and meltwater pulses and sea level rise that kicked off the Younger Dryas period.

481 Shasta pop was great! The local grocery always had a big sale when school let out, and Mom would let me & big bro choose a whole case, each. Mix & match: there were *so many* flavors, and sold singly if desired. (3 or 4 cents per can, iirc?)

Mom would get a whole case of Cola, and one of Root Beer. Bro & I would choose whatever for our own supply. Always a few Cream Sodas-- plus Grape, Apple, Strawberry, Raspberry, Orange... oh the decisions were difficult, LOL.

Bonus! We each had our own can opener too. Had to punch the holes yourself, back in those days.

The direction (and to some extent the strength) of the Erf's field gets locked into magnetic materials. When lava cools, it locks in the direction. And when ferromagnetic particles in water settle to the bottom, they lock in the direction when they get frozen in as sediment layers build up.

This and some claims about orientation on very early archeological sites are the basis of the Exothermic Core-Mantle Decoupling - Dzhanibekov Oscillation. The argument is that it wasn't the magnetic field that flickered, it was the Earth flipped to a different orientation for a while before flipping back.
Personally I think the archeological part is at best overenthusiastic for the interpretation, and outside of that there is not a lot of indication that the world flipped end for end.

The field has flipped about 183 times in the last 83 million years. Subduction eventually pulls it back under, so the record only goes back so far. These reversals are not regularly spaced, but have varying periods, almost random seemingly. The process can take anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands of years as well.

Now that 183 number are full reversals. The poles flip state and then stay that way for a long time. There are a number of other of those little excursions, where the poles go crazy, maybe flip briefly, then go back to the previous state.

It is a butane stove which is great if you want to stay at low elevations and higher temperatures. My main stove is propane, but I wanted to look at some alcohol and kerosene stoves too. Those two fuels are good for freezing weather.
I like looking at the fancy new stuff, some of it is really tricked out and might even work right. I also like things like the old brass pressure stoves. They still make them in India.

And then everyone forgot about it while the CIA offshored and we ended up with an ex-British spy helping invent a Russia collusion hoax cause it all ended 60 years ago and that's why Obama pushed and then signed the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act.

And almost nobody remembers any of it other than crazy conspiracy theorists. Obama just magically appeared and became super popular despite being a zipperhead.

Note the Sun's magnetic field flips every 11 years as part of the solar cycle. You can look up illustrations of how the field dances during that flipping process.

It's not a simple flipping of dipole field. If you model the earth with a simple bar magnet dipole, it's not like just flipping that over. The field is more than a simple exact dipole field. See the concept of the "multipole expansion", which is a way, sort of Taylor series like, to represent any field as an infinite sum of moments.

When the earth's field flips, the dipole moment term just disappears for a a while. The field doesn't go to zero, but is basically quadrupole (and higher), which dances aound (two north poles and south poles coming out of the earth's surface, and moving around).

Then the dipole moment comes back, in the other direction, and the field stabilizes in the other direction. A compass would then point south.

554 The Europeans, the "Native Americans" and the Asians all had something that America has never had.

Royalty.

That sort of social structure strangles a civilization in the cradle.

In America, you could arrive with nothing and build an empire. In Europe or anywhere else, "When you're a Serf you're a Serf all the way, from your first cigarette to your last dying day."

It's why the world hates and resents us. Because we don't know our place. We have no royal families or dynasties (much as the Kennedys and Clintons would love).

You can come here as no one and emerge as someone.

Book "Stolen Continents" covers the Aztecs, the Iroquois, and Incas. Book preface is honest enough and states its perspective is sympathetic to the Indians.

However, first chapter on Aztecs basically says they were asshoe and they deserved the Spanish.

Pretty bad when you try, try, try to write how wonderful the natives were, but have to admit One of the big three were (maybe) worse than the invaders.

The Coleman runs on (surprise!) Coleman fuel (naptha) which has the most BTUs per weight carried of any of the camping fuels. Propane is close, except that the heavy steel bottle to handle the pressure. For a weekend, the fuel in the full stove was sufficient. For longer trips, a half liter aluminum bottle added would handle a week.
Weight is all-important when you're carrying everything yourself.

Anyway, the "geodynamo" as it's called is one hellaciously complicated thing, poorly understood. You get a spinning planet with a molten iron core, with heat driven convection, and you get currents which generate a magnetic field. And that thing is ridiculously complex.

Now, take a star. They have magnetic fields, but they are only superficially similar. Big ol' ball of spinning plasma with fusion in the core. Magnetic field is generated, but that dynamo is a very different process than a planet's.

I stumbled across an X account today of a Cherokee dude who says Fuck the anti-paleface shyte. Says Face it, whites like us, the past is unchangeable, and our fates are intertwined now. The invaders don't give a damn about us and we'll go down with the whites if we don't stand with them.

I hear that "foundational Blacks" are saying the same thing about Somali fraudsters. "These people aren't us. This is not our cause."

I think Trump has created a lot of this. I just hope we can keep it after he leaves office. The enemy now is AWFLs and Pajama Boys.

Agreed. Civil blacks are having a rough go of it, their counter parts being prompted and promoted by the CCP and its subordinates like the media. Don't think the Indians will have anything to do with the Chinese.

Parsi, who is co-founder and executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and co-founded the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), has been a vocal opponent of the ongoing US attacks on Iran.

A Trump official told the Free Press that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had been "very clear" in his intentions to tackle “people who support adversaries of ours and whose work furthers their agenda and undermines our security.

Loved Yellowstone. First actual real vacation that we have take in about 25 years.

And boy did we walk. About 6-8 miles every day to see the hot springs, geysers and such. Just glad to get back to sea level where there is actual oxygen and moisture in the air.

But really struggling with the motivation for the daily walk here at home. And if you are not done walking by 7:30, the temperature is just too high to do so.

Finally decided to talk politics with my wife who I've been married to for 19 years at the end of the month.

She thinks I'm a monster because I don't believe in the magic dirt theory of citizenship when she brought up that one of her soccer player patients was born here while his parents were in grad school, and when they were done, went back to Paraguay when he was 6 months old and hasn't been back until a few months ago when he came to play pro soccer here. So thats an American Citizen I guess.

Thanks! So, I think I'm getting a handle on where the con artists are going. They've settled on Jew Hatred, and using Zionism, AIPAC, and Epstein Class as euphemisms.

Every confidence scheme needs a core lie -- if it were all true with no trick, then it would just be business -- and they generally recycle ones with proven track records. Jew hatred is one of those, infamously.

And the Jeffrey Epstein situation is tailor-made for their tricks, since he's a dead and much-hyped Jew, who did not do as much as people suspected. Turns out he was a sex-trafficking client, mostly of women of age in New York (17+), not a pimp.

He was a deal-maker, and used his girls as eye candy and party favors to grease deals. And since he did not sell their butts, the Epstein Files that were unprecedentedly released are it. This is the full client list:

* Jeffrey Epstein

That's it. But with rhetoric, if you're explaining then you're losing. So it's a perfect situation for conmen to swoop in and make claims that take explaining to debunk, and also he's too dead to answer questions himself.

She knew but we never ever discuss politics. In her family, nobody discusses politics or hot-button issues. Nobody. It's pretty much forbidden.

She seems to be over it. I asked her if we could have a calm rational discussion of the topic so that she doesn't think I'm a monster but she told me - quite curtly - that she thinks I made it clear what my position was.

There are true lesbians.

I would put them at about two, maybe three percent of women.

These are the kind of masculine women.

Stocky, somewhat muscular women.

You're classic Bull dyke.

Modern media has through relentless propaganda probably at least doubled this cohort.

106 Catfishing? Not for lesbians but for dinner.

Alligator-Catfish Hybrids Are Being Spawned in an Alabama Lab
In an effort to build a better catfish, researchers at Auburn University have genetically engineered a hybrid catfish species using alligator DNA.

The methodology might sound scary. But the byproducts are nearly identical to the farm-raised catfish sold in grocery

No. It has been extensively documented that many lesbians choose to be that way due to their politics. Some get over it, grow out their hair, get married and have lots of kids.

Female sexuality is much more fluid than male.

When lesbianism was fringe and weird, they were straight.

Another factor: body positivity. Fat chicks are off the chain these days, have been for a decade or more. Watching older movies has me reflecting on how grotesque people look today. Sidney Greenstreet, aka "The Fat Man" has a Dad Bod by today's standards.

I know liberal guys who married liberal gals and despite complete ideological alignment, she still divorced because reasons. Usually she out-earned him. That is a huuge issue, especially among leftists who have zero investment in marriage as an institution.

It can work if they are religious because she accepts marriage as a moral obligation, but even then if she's liberal, religion has to yield to her need for the pool boy or hanging out with her divorced girlfriends at the bar.

You would like to hear where she is coming from, you would like to feel heard too, with the understanding no one is trying to change minds or prove points. But if this isn’t the time, that is okay.

I don’t even know, repeatedly today we played some of it and he said, you are ‘Worse than any human being that’s ever run for office probably.’ What did you think when you heard that?”

Platner: “Well, coming from certainly the worst person to have ever run for office, I take it as an immense compliment.”

Psaki: “It must feel pretty ludicrous to be lectured to your point by this president over morality.”

Platner: “Yeah, it’s, it’s at the end of the day, it just comes down to the fact that Donald Trump knows that I’m going to go to the United States Senate to try to hold him and all of his corrupt cronies accountable. That’s the entire point of this. I mean, we are building something up here in Maine that’s going to allow us to retake the Senate for Democrats, but also retake the Senate with Democrats who really want to get in a fight.”

I come from an atheist family. I am NOT an atheist. I can attest that atheists do not believe in forgiveness. I have watched my sister torture her memories to blot out anything that might be embarrassing, including an entire marriage. I have had my sisters spout out bilge to one another over things we did as children, as evidence of... IDK... character? Leftists are by definition not religious. They can never be wrong, even when they are awfully wrong. Their self-loathing comes out in waves as projection on anyone or anything they can spew it at. They must be perfect, at all times, and obviously superior to anyone around themselves. It is diabolical and soul-slavery. It leads to misery.

A lot of leftists have bent religion to their ideology (see also Anglicans, United Methodists, etc.), and so their faith and politics are in perfect alignment.

There are also the Pelosi/Biden Catholics, who flout their religion and dare anyone to say anything. When Francis was pope, they got away with it. But the liberal Catholic clergy are a dying breed, and things will get interesting going forward.

Remember interstellar interloper 3I/ATLAS. It's hauling ass on its way out, now at about 5.5 AU from the sun. I was just reading some of the latest stuff from the analysis of all the spectral observations they took.

And, as expected, it's nothing like anything from this solar system. They discovered it's high in methane and methanol. The methane didn't show up until well after it heated up from the sun. And the deuterium ratios in the water and methane is very high. It's very alien indeed.

All of that has bumped up the age range estimate to 10 - 12 billion years old, well over twice the age of our own solar system.

They were until the full effects of the 19th Amendment shook out.

Basically in the Patriarchy citizenship was derived from the husband and father. Immigrant marries an American man - instant citizenship for her and her kids. Conversely an American woman marries an immigrant - she instantly gets his citizenship...
As late as 2000 the Standard Form was available on line for women to reclaim their US citizenship that they lost decades before when they married a foreigner. I don't know when that effect of the 19th shook out. Probably before living memory.

"in many places and in ordinary times, the defendants, in saying all that was said in the circular, would have been within their constitutional rights. But the character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done." In this case, Holmes said, "the words used are used in such circumstances and are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that Congress has a right to prevent."

247 In the 1990s, race relations were at their zenith. People joked about the best golfer being black and the best rapper being white.

And then Obama came along, and all that was systematically dismantled because Democrats were losing the working class and needed monolithic black support to shore them up.

They hate Trump because he has bypassed their gatekeepers, which is why you had Obama begging black men to vote for Kamala.

Former Left-Wing Girlfriend: Gerald Platner Cheated With Me on His Fiance (Whom He Hid From Me), Said He Got a Nazi Tattoo to Remind Him That the US Was "the Bad Guy" In Foreign Policy, and Also, Has "Small Dick"

Oh man, they always throw in that last one.

Or so I've heard. From others.

I heard Larry O'Connor promise yesterday that more is coming.

Here's a little more.


Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner kept his hideous Nazi tattoo to remind himself "the US was the evil bad guy overseas," according to an ex-girlfriend with whom he cheated on his fiancée in 2021.

The left-wing streamer, who spoke to The Post, is the second woman to say that Platner knew about the fascist origin of his Totenkopf skull and crossbones tattoo -- despite his claims that he didn't realize it was a Third Reich symbol until last fall.

Her assertions were backed up by texts reviewed by The Post that she'd sent to her mom in September 2025 in which she blasted him for his "Nazi tattoo," "small d--k" and claims that he tarnished her reputation by using her to step out on his fiancée.

The woman also offered allegations Platner cheated on a second partner before his current wife -- a now-ex-fiancée he was engaged to around that time.

"As a person who is a leftist, I immediately looked at him and asked him, 'Is that a Totenkopf?' and he told me a whole, 'he will hold this weight forever' bravado sob story about how it was, but he decided to keep it as a reminder that the United States was the evil, bad guy overseas," she recounted.

The woman spoke to The Post on the condition her name not be used.

On Wednesday, the woman publicly shared screenshots of private messages where she described the Nazi tattoo. The messages to her mother were dated Sept. 26, 2025 -- before his tattoo was publicly known.

"Better not take a peek at the Nazi tattoo on his chest," she wrote in another message to a pal.

...

"It seems like he tailored his answer to me, knowing my politics, since that's one of the reasons we matched on Tinder in the first place," she reflected.

...

She alleges that their romance together ended after she found out from mutual friends that Platner was engaged to another woman around that time.

...

The whistleblower told The Post she never wanted to come forward with her story but became concerned by what she saw as Platner's lying to the people of Maine about his tattoo, and a pattern of behavior toward women she saw in recent news reports.

She said she does not have her old texts with Platner because she deleted all his messages when she found out he was cheating.

...

Earlier this month, another former flame of Platner's, Lyndsey Fifield, told The New York Times that he was lying when he claimed to be unaware of the Nazi tattoo, recounting how he'd call it "my Totenkopf."

"I would never have known what that was," she told the outlet. "He would joke about it being a Nazi tattoo."

The outlet reviewed messages from Fifield last summer where she told friends that he "has a Nazi tattoo on his chest." She said he told her he got it because "they were like a death unit, they were killers" and he saw parallels to the Nazi SS.

Major Smallcock continues insisting that while his girlfriends and adultery-partners knew his tattoo was a Totenkopf, he did not. Because these girls didn't tell him, a "military buff" who actually chose the tattoo, what it was.


"I certainly didn't know," he added. "They didn't tell me that. Or maybe they did, but I was sobbing so hard over my pitifully small pecker I didn't hear them."

I may have added some vibes to that quote.

Princess Tinymeat is also lying about working. He does not work. He just sits in bed all day and wishes his dainty micropenis could satisfy an ant.


Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner claimed that he has been able to "make a living on the sea" since leaving the armed forces during a Friday rally, an assertion his financial disclosures don't appear to support.

Platner, who is running for Senate in Maine to unseat incumbent GOP Sen. Susan Collins, has long identified himself as an oyster farmer and harbor master, giving a blue-collar tinge to his left-wing campaign. Financial disclosures, however, show that he brings in relatively little money from oyster farming, with reports suggesting that Platner receives the majority of his income through veteran's disability payments.

"My healthcare gave me freedom," Platner said at a June 5 rally. "It gave me the freedom to take risks, to start a business and to sink my intellect and my physicality into mastering the skills necessary to make a living on the sea."

Platner's comments drew ire on social media, with many questioning the Senate hopeful's claim to working-class identity.

Platner's 2025 financial disclosures show that he listed "other $5,001" as his annual income from farming oysters. The candidate's entire business is only worth between $50,000 and $100,000, which accounts for his boat, lines, anchors and other farming equipment, per the disclosure.

He earned an additional $3,000 serving as the harbor master for Sullivan, Maine, -- a role the Washington Free Beacon reported was largely clerical and where he was responsible for overseeing the 17 boat moorings on the small town's coast.

Taken together, these sums are dwarfed by the $4,800 Platner says he receives through monthly disability payments. Platner is legally entitled to such a sum owing to injuries he suffered while serving in the armed forces.

"I've got a couple herniated discs. My shoulder's a wreck. My knees bother me. My dick looks like a tiny work poking its head up out of a bush," Platner, who saw combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, told News Center Maine in an October 2025 interview.

I may have added a little to Captain Bugfucker's quote.

Despite his reliance on disability, Platner has consistently referred to himself as an "oyster farmer" while campaigning for Senate.

"Oyster" = his tiny subwiener, "farmer" = masturbator

Update: Although that whistleblower says she deleted her texts, someone on twitter published this alleged text chain about Private Shamenoodle. He didn't tell me who supposedly wrote these.

textseyal.jpg

"He's hot"? Sounds like bullshit. He looks like Captain Taggert in Beverly Hills Cock, with extra room in the crotch of his pants.

Meanwhile, Jodi Kantor, who got lots of attention as a #MeToo "reporter" -- I think she was played by the brown-haired wallflower actress in She Said, because she's a brown-hairdd wallflower-- and savaged Brett Kavanaugh for the invented Hippocampus Confabulations of Christie Blowjob Ford, now says that Gerald Platner's history of assaulting women is no big deal because you know what? Women fucking lie, don't they?

Jennifer Sey
@JenniferSey

9h

Jodi Kantor is going with the "he was just a bad boyfriend, he didn't do anything wrong" defense of Platner.

This is shameless. This woman wrote "She Said" about Harvey Weinstein's history of abuse and sexual misconduct. We were supposed to believe women.

Kantor seems willing to burn her own reputation to the ground to defend Graham Platner -- seriously? this guy? -- and to remain in good standing as a Democrat.

Pathetic.


Women always be lyin' about men that dumped them, you know?

jimtreacher.substack.com
@jtLOL

Jodi Kantor completely waves away Lyndsey Fifield's accusations of Platner's physical abuse.

"There was one allegation of crossing a line physically, but..."

Yeah, Jodi, good point. Other than the violence, there was no violence.


If you never saw She Said you are part of the 99.9% of real humanity.

If you watch a few minutes of Despot of Antrim's video about it, you'll get the gist. (Coincidentally, I just clicked on this over the weekend, randomly. It's funny. The takedown, I mean.)

Update: Jonathan Turley:


Some people just like classic Coke. Others insisted on the original Reese's recipe. New York Times writer Jodi Kantor went on CNN to explain why Democrats can vote for Maine senatorial candidate Graham Platner despite multiple women coming forward to denounce him: this is really not the classic Me Too allegations that Kantor and others seem to prefer for outrage.

Kantor won a Pulitzer Prize for her reporting on Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse and was called forth by CNN to explain why it is ok for liberals to support an alleged abuser of women. A prior girlfriend has accused Platner of physically abusing her and even locking her into a room overnight. He is also accused of sexting women and dismissing rape victims.

None of that, however, necessarily presents a barrier for those who want to retake power by any means necessary.

Kantor clinically explained that these "are not classic MeToo accusations." Specifically, "they're not about a boss and a young female employee being subjected to sexual advances. They were mostly made in the context of consensual relationships. There are these, like, very sensational texts about sex. There are allegations from former girlfriends that are not -- the way my colleagues reported them were not like classic abuse allegations," she stressed.

In a statement that would have produced a torrent of condemnations if used during the Kavanaugh controversy, Kantor insisted that "they were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like what I saw. His character was scary. He had this Nazi tattoo. Et cetera."

In fairness to Kantor, she was attempting no small feat: to allow liberals to continue to claim Me Too outrage while grabbing Maine.

Of course, Kantor quickly brushes over the other controversies beyond the abuse allegations as simply a Nazi tattoo. She omits his mocking of a wounded veteran, rural people, and rape victims while praising Hamas and embracing communism.

However, her diminishing of the account of women like Lyndsay Fifield as "they were mostly like being his boyfriend gave me a view into him and I did not like what I saw."

What Fifield alleges that she "saw" were marks left on their body after being yanked and grabbed by Platner. In one case, she claimed "he twisted her arm behind her back, shoved her into a bedroom and held the door closed from the other side so she couldn't get out, telling her to remain there until she was 'calm.'"

Kantor seems to begrudgingly acknowledge that "there was one allegation of crossing a line physically, but I think that means that these are pretty different accusations than, say, the one that -- the ones that President Trump faced."

Previously, Kantor did not draw this distinction between classic Me Too and new knockoffs involving non-employment situations. She once grouped a wide variety of controversies from Al Franken to Brett Kavanaugh to Jeffrey Epstein under the banner...

Ironically, Kantor's rationalization returns to the very partisan "older pattern" that she once denounced in how allegations from women are treated in the media.

Like the Trump assault charge -- anyone familiar with Bergdorf in the 90s would know that it was impossible. The sales people work on commission and the high end mens dept is like a lounge where you sit and are surrounded by staff.

Likewise, it is impossible to get a nazi tattoo without knowing. This flash is hidden out of sight and has to be requested (except for biker shops, where everything is nazi.) The artist will tell you and make it very clear. No one "accidentally" gets a totenkopf.

But the media will never report reality, and instead allows people to wallow in their ignorance.

48 Kantor is slinging some heavy bullshit.

Kinda like Whoopie's "rape rape" -- "classic abuse" shall now become a like lexicon in the English language.

There was only one allegation against Kavanaugh from someone who couldn't remember where or when it exactly occurred. But hey, it wasn't classic abuse because Nutsball Ford wasn't a subordinate of Kavanaugh. Do I have that right?

50 Also: I learned a year or two ago (to my immense shock, actually) that the German military actually arrested and executed some SS people for being too mean to prisoners. I was like, wait, what? 1) they had an actual functioning judicial branch for their military and 2) just what did you have to do to get sideways in the SS and be too bad for them to not save you from this version of the JAG?

66 32 You know who is smart enough to be a senator? An expert in military - a soldier and self-proclaimed history buff - who, after almost two decades of looking in the mirror every day at a tattoo, doesn't realize the one he has next to his heart is the worst of NAZI symbols.

How on Earth can a nation survive without such brilliance?

This requires no other disqualifier and he has oodles of them. It's unforgivable. Everyone keeps saying, "But wait, there's more!" This exercise kinda keeps resetting the bar for him. He's either a NAZI, an idiot, or both. That should, in America, make him untouchable. Just that.

My guess is, even in the military, you heard about shit happening but it was always gossip. A friend of a friend heard from a guy who heard it from a cook.

It gets easier not to want to know too much. And if you weren't in one of the nasty political units (which there were political and more military (waffen- weapons) units in even the SS.

Because nobody flipped out on the CPAC stage being roughly the shape of an ancient Teutonic symbol sometimes appropriated by the Nazis, right?

150 CBC News: His controversies include a Nazi tattoo. Why Democrats are still standing by Senate candidate Graham Platner

Democratic strategist Christy Selzer said "Platner's challenges, no matter how deep, are small compared to those created each day by the Trump administration, which has Senator Collins' steadfast support." "Flawed candidate (Platner) versus supporter of the end of democracy (Collins) seems like an easy call."

His story that he and a bunch of young Marines walked into a tattoo shop and pointed at the meanest skull on the wall makes total sense to me. The right likes it cos it allows them to call him a Nazi instead of addressing his policies.

It's also hilarious since Musk did a Nazi salute during a speech and Hegseth's entire time in command and tattoo are about a million times more blatant.

Nothing wrong with that tattoo. It’s just a skull and cross bones which any young military person could think is cool

In the scene, the mandalorian has his helmet removed. Dumb looking Pedro Pascal's mug is now in the scene....AND...HE HAS A FREAKIN MOUSTACHE!!!!

My understanding is that he never takes his helmet off voluntarily...ever. So, why would he have a moustache? What's the point? Who's going to see it?

HHS Investigating Terror PR Organization CAIR Over Possible Misuse of Federal Funds

Apparently this has to do with using federal dollars -- why are we giving CAIR any money? -- to pay for some kind of sketchy, unaccredited "Afghan Legal Services" fund.

What?!?!

You want to know if this is a misuse of federal taxpayer money? Well I'm glad you came to me. It is. Obviously.


The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is investigating the Council on American Islamic Relations-California in response to a request made by a congressional delegation led by outgoing U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas.

In April, the delegation called on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to suspend funding for CAIR-CA and its affiliates and initiate debarment proceedings. It was done after a Department of Justice investigation was launched more than a year ago into alleged misuse of federal funds related to Afghan refugees.

"CAIR's longstanding ties to terrorist organizations, including Hamas -- a U.S.-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization -- combined with documented financial mismanagement and misuse of federal grant funds administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), pose a grave risk to national security and render CAIR unfit to receive taxpayer dollars," the delegation argued, The Center Square reported.

The DOJ investigation was launched in response to a March 2025 Intelligent Advocacy Network complaint filed with the DOJ urging it to investigate CAIR-CA's alleged misuse of federal funds and EOIR accreditation violations. It questions millions of dollars CAIR-CA received from the federal government including for an Afghan Legal Services Project, alleges CAIR-LA is not a legal 501c3 entity, alleges accreditation violations, and alleges CAIR ties to Islamic terrorism. In response, the DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review launched an investigation.

HHS Assistant Secretary Gustav Chiarello on Tuesday contacted California Gov. Gavin Newswom requesting cooperation. He reiterated that HHS has the legal authority to suspend or debar recipients of federal grant funds from participating in federal welfare programs if violations are confirmed.

The California Department of Social Services "has sub-granted more than $27 million in HHS-originated funds to CAIR-CA for Afghan refugee and entrant assistance programs," he said. "Congressman Chip Roy and other members of Congress have informed HHS that there may be connections between CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood and its Palestinian branch, Hamas," a designated foreign terrorist organization.

So, once again, we have a "cleanskin" NGO taking government money and then immediately sub-granting it to a highly controversial organization that no government agency, even one controlled by Democrats, would ever fund directly, because they know the public outcry would be enormous.

So they continue allowing these NGOs to quietly, softly funnel money into what are completely inappropriate and often illegal (the Wuhan Covid Lab) purposes.

This.

There is no reason to have multi-level granting. Each NGO, such as they exist, can apply for its own money. Every dollar needs to be traceable. It's clear that the sub-granting is a well-worn technique to purposely abuse the granting system.

But on the downside it becomes more honest and transparent without the N.

But the thing was Fannie and Freddie Mac were both "NGO"s, because they were not officially government organizations. And even back then you would put something into an NGO that you didn't want steered by partisan shifts.

So having the burden fall to the government after going into receivership also really stretched the N.

It was him, as I remember, who pushed so hard for government money going to religious organizations for humanitarian work.

It sounded like a fine idea at first, but so much of that money has gone to bringing in and establishing hostile immigrants that the entire program needs to be canned.

Lutheran and Catholic Refugee Services (and every other denomination I'm missing) have screwed the country with the amounts of Somalis and other problem cultures they have brought in on the taxpayers' dime.

Now it seems that CAIR was in on the same act for Afghans.

It's Official: Doctor Who Christmas Winter Holiday Special Cancelled

You may be thinking: You already did this story, mate.

Well -- I don't think so, mate. I did a similar story, about no actor wanting to touch this franchise with a 10 foot pole.

But now it's official -- the Christmas Pagan Winter Festival Special is now cancelled.

They're not admitting -- yet -- that the entire series is now in the ashbin of history, but that's coming soon.

And gay producer Russell T Davies exits the series. I wouldn't make an issue of his sexuality, except for the fact he made his sexuality the main animating ethos of the series. So it's relevant -- he's gay, he's really really really proud of gay "Pride" culture, and he made a science-fiction show for children all about homosexuality, transgenderism, and Queer Culture.

And now he's out.

But they would have kept him on if they could land an actor to play the Fabulous Doctor.

The BBC is no longer going ahead with a "Doctor Who" Christmas special this year as planned and is seeking new production partners.

"Seeking new production partners" = our former investors are no longer willing to shovel money into this Pit of Shame.


Showrunner and writer Russell T Davies and producer Bad Wolf have officially exited the series as the BBC puts the show out to competitive tender. "'Doctor Who' remains an important part of the BBC and this tender underpins the BBC's continued commitment to 'Doctor Who' ensuring audiences will enjoy the show for years to come," a release said on Wednesday.

LOL. If BBC were really "committed" to the show they would fund it itself, not seek corporations willing to throw their money away to subsidize the dead show.

Therefore, the previously announced Christmas special will also not be going forward. "This decision was not taken lightly, and we know it will be disappointing for fans, but in order to set the show up for future series, it was decided that rather than bridge the gap with a one-off special, we are choosing to push forward to invest in the long-term future of the show which ensures that when the TARDIS lands once more, it does so in all its glory," the release stated.

You know who was fond of making announcements about upcoming projects? Kaffeine Kennedy, formerly of LucasFilm. She loved announcing new shows and movies. Cost her almost no money at all, so she didn't have to get approval from Disney corporate to "announce" a new trilogy to be directed by Patty Jenkins. Or Rian Round-Head Johnson. Or Kevin Fiege. Or... you get it.

You know who's also announcing a new Doctor Who series? I am. I'm announcing a new series which I'll be producing once rights issues are worked out with the BBC, and I get funding.

My series is just as likely to make it to air as this BBC/Corporate Partner TBD series.


In a post on Instagram, Davies said goodbye to the show, which he led from 2005 to 2010 and again since 2023 in tandem with BBC's co-production pact with Disney+. When Ncuti Gatwa departed the role of the Doctor after just two seasons last year, Disney+ exited the partnership and the series' future has remained uncertain ever since.

Well the series' future is no longer uncertain because I'm stepping up to produce it. Didn't you see my announcement? I am totally committed to my vision of this show.

Speaking of stories I've already covered: A couple of Fridays ago, I said that The Marmaduke & Garfield would fall into third place in its second weekend of exhibition. No Star Wars movie has ever fallen out of first place in its second weekend, but it was clear that The Mermaid & Gorgon would.

Well it did, but I didn't bother posting about it because I wanted to give you a break from the, I'll admit it, Endless Gay Fanboy Bullshit.

And then I didn't even mention it this week when The Marzipan and Fondu fell to sixth place, after the low-budget and apparently lame Scary Movie was released, as well as the gay toy revival Masters of the Universe. (Which is apparently decent, but... c'mon, He-Man hasn't been relevant since 1989.)

It'll fall further when Steven Spielberg's latest misfire, Disclosure Day, opens tomorrow.

Before the release of the latest Star Wars bomb, the studio bragged that it had a smallish budget of about $165 million. Studios never brag about how cheap their movies are, but Disney wanted to avoid headlines about the new Star Wars movie losing money.

But they didn't keep the budget low enough:

Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu is currently projected to finish its global theatrical run slightly shy of the $300 million mark, hovering around an estimated $293 million to $296 million worldwide.

The film opened on May 22, 2026, and after a surprisingly soft theatrical run--struggling against stiff competition from smaller-budget and viral-phenomenon films like Scary Movie and Backrooms--it has severely underperformed compared to other live-action Star Wars features.

Remember, another $80 million was spent on advertising and prints and theaters take about 50% of the box office, so this is another Star Wars movie that doesn't just underperform, but actually loses money.

Thank you for indulging me.

I spoke with six former "60 Minutes" staffers, including award-winning correspondents, producers and executives, about the chaos that's unfolded there under Weiss, a former op-ed columnist and founder of The Free Press who had no broadcast journalism -- and scant investigative reporting -- experience prior to being given the keys to CBS News.

"We have to acknowledge that '60 Minutes' needed a bit of a facelift, and there were potentially positive ways to improve the program, but it's the way they have gone about it," a former "60 Minutes" staffer says. "You don't give a facelift with a fucking machete."

...

Steve Kroft, who was a "60 Minutes" correspondent for 30 years until retiring in 2019, echoes Bergman's assessment. He believes that Trump has had it out for the newsmagazine since the Harris piece, and that Ellison and Weiss haven't demonstrated a desire to stand up to him. Ellison is, after all, still seeking FCC approval of Paramount-Skydance's $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.

Oh, that old fat queen is upset, too? Bonus.

The shrieking hysterics of 60 Minutes continue demonstrating the emotional restrain of Broadway drag queens.

Lesley Stahl Says Journalists Getting Fired Is Worse Than Child Trafficking, Nazi Torture Dungeons


'Oh God, this was awful,' multimillionaire laments after corporation restructures to compete in dying industry


Lesley Stahl has seen a lot of horrible things over the course of her career at 60 Minutes, but none of it can compare to the horror she experienced watching her fellow journalists lose their jobs for being obnoxious.

"Oh God, this was awful," Stahl told Puck when asked about the half dozen veteran producers and personalities who were fired along with Scott Pelley, the veteran newsreader and combat survivor dismissed for insubordination. "This was by far the worst experience I've been involved in, or even witnessed."

The worst experience she's ever even witnessed. By far. The Puck reporter observed that Stahl's voice "trailed off, as if she was still having trouble processing what had happened during the past week or so."

Stahl is 84--even older than Joe Biden. She lived through 9/11 and the Jimmy Carter administration. She witnessed the self-inflicted debasement of her former colleague Dan Rather after he reported on forged documents purporting to cast doubt on President George W. Bush's service in the National Guard. That was pretty bad.

What else might the iconic journalist have experienced in her career that was almost, but not quite, as traumatizing as corporate restructuring in a dying industry?

Well, Stahl's first story as a 60 Minutes correspondent was about child trafficking in Romania after the fall of Nicolae Ceaușescu. She visited a family that wanted to sell their four-year-old son for $500 to buy a camcorder. The following year, Stahl interviewed survivors of Josef Mengele's twisted human experiments at Auschwitz. In 2020, she was forced to endure interviews with Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt, cofounders of the much-maligned Lincoln Project super PAC.

It's entirely plausible that Stahl was more disturbed upon learning that a handful of journalists had been fired by CBS. After all, she is a journalist, and many journalists have described Pelley's termination alone as one the greatest tragedies to befall mankind.

...

It's also possible that Stahl has mild to moderate dementia. Perhaps she can't remember watching parents negotiate to sell their children for color TVs. Her more recent output, on the other hand, is composed almost entirely of what industry insiders might call "vacuous fluffery."

Over the last few years, Stahl has examined the benefits of "gender affirming care," documented former congresswoman Liz Cheney's abiding hatred for Donald Trump, and extolled the (alleged) comedy of former Daily Show host Trevor Noah. Despite her reluctance to "become part of the story," Stahl performed a 60 Minutes monologue about her personal battle with COVID-19--a potentially harrowing ordeal given her advanced age, but less so given her exorbitant net worth.

Stahl encountered more traumatic experiences in 2025 while interviewing Yarden Bibas, an Israeli taken hostage by Hamas whose wife and two sons were killed in captivity. It's not entirely clear if Stahl viewed the hostages as victims, given her egregious attempts to empathize with the Hamas terrorists.

13 CNN -- State election officials could soon face a stark choice: Hand over voter lists to the Trump administration or risk losing Postal Service delivery for mail-in ballots.

That dilemma stems from newly proposed USPS rules that seek to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump signed this spring to crack down on mail-in voting. If courts let the order stand, it would give the federal government an unprecedented role in elections — and could put even more voter data in the hands of Trump officials searching for supposed election fraud.

The proposed rules lay out new conditions that states would have to meet to send ballots through the mail, including giving the agency lists of all voters set to receive mail ballots.

I think we will ultimately have to go in for the nuke dust, but I don't know what that means in terms of logistics. Heck, for all I know the only hold-up is working on inventing a way to track drone-control signals down to the source for precision strikes.

Indeed, for all I know, that technology already exists. I'm not plugged in. So maybe he's just not used to dealing with the clinically insane, and is stringing them along from force of habit, not having realized yet that he can't outlast them with his super-alpha stress resistance. But that should end up in an intelligence report eventually, if it's the case.

But until we have the nuclear material out, it won't end.

Posted by: PaleRider at June 11, 2026 04:44 PM (PV+Zw)

The specials were traditionally shown on Christmas Day as an event and gift from the BBC to kids and Doctor Who fans.

Some of the episodes do have a Christmas theme, but nothing specifically about Jesus. They’re mostly just a snowy/wintery setting with vague holiday festival themes, especially the recent specials.

The most recent one gave up Christmas entirely and was aired on New Years day, IIRC.

90 It really feels like RTD intentionally sabotaged the first black doctor. He gave the best stories to his muse, wrote Ncuti as if he were the companion and secondary character in almost half the episodes, and made all these decisions that came off weird and even unnecessarily racially charged like giving Ncuti a different sonic screwdriver because he didn't want to invoke images of the doctor shooting a gun.

Ncuti Gatwa was a great Doctor but focusing on magic was such an odd choice, and one that wholly did not fit the series. The shows had all this extra money, and that just seemed to be a shackle. They went bigger instead of being forced to be creative.

Spend twice the percentage of the budget that a normal TV show spends on writing. That's what matters on *Doctor Who*. Not a a star trek fan (yet), but it seems like its the same for them. No one can write single episodes anymore apparently.

I dont understand why people saying the show need a rest. What does accomplish? Find good writers and showrunner and you'll never need a rest.

112 And gay producer Russell T Davies exits the series. I wouldn't make an issue of his sexuality, except for the fact he made his sexuality the main animating ethos of the series. So it's relevant -- he's gay, he's really really really proud of gay "Pride" culture, and he made a science-fiction show for children all about homosexuality, transgenderism, and Queer Culture.

And this is very much the problem with so much of modern entertainment. Teh GHEYYYYYY has become the substitute for interesting and well-developed characters, character and story development, engaging and well-considered plot arcs, and good storytelling.

So, I finished plowing through all the Rocky movies over the last week or so.

A good time. I recommend it.

I had some surprises in the rewatch, so I'll just give you how I would now rank them:

Rocky
Rocky 3/ Rocky Balboa
Rocky 5
Rocky 2
Rocky 4

These ranking are based on them as movies.

The top 4 all had very clean, clear, organic, mostly linear stories.
The top three are also feel good movies which is nice.
Rocky 5 is a feel bad movie and really not worthy of the final Rocky movie, which is was intended to be. Rocky winds up poor, brain-damaged, and he wins a street fight, soooo back to being a street bum. What were they thinking. That said it's a very well-written, well-directed and acted movie. It doesn't deserve its lousy reputation.

Rocky 2 and 4 start off with a great concept and nuthin' else. The plotting and characters are all over the place as they try to fill out enough time to make it a movie. They feel very fake even though you like how they end.

That's it. Check them out. They're all streaming on netflix.

It doesn't deserve its lousy reputation.

I mostly agree. Rocky is older, and the movies were more about character drama than the boxing itself, so it made sense to move away from the "big fight" focus of every film. More importantly, it was "loosely" based on Mike Tyson's rise to fame, and Don King being a slimy promoter, so it was much more relevant when released, and tells a pretty familiar story in athletics and entertainment.

Well I quite enjoyed the "Are you Being Served" comedy when PBS would show it, also the original "All Creatures"

But I expect the BBC also produced a lot of junk that I've never seen. And I'll never consider myself cultured, just a country hick that ended up sitting at a computer for work.

This is nonsense.
There is some very good British TV, and lots of dreck, just like in USA.

They have a tendency to be great at adaptations of fiction (Le Carre, Dickens, Morse, ....) in the 4-6 episode format.

A lot of their most famous weekly stuff is very low budget (their audience is much smaller, and less competitive than the USA) so don't watch it. But don't insult those of us who like british tv.

He's a magic engineer, that is, he designs the illusions, he doesn't perform them. He's asked for help with an unsolveable crime, on the questionable theory that as someone who makes the impossible seem possible for a living, he would be a good detective. Then they do a whole show with him solving crimes.

Some of the episodes are good with tricky solutions that are solvable and fair, others are just ass-pulls. It was all written by a single guy and I really think he should have had a writers room.

The highly ranked episodes (Google for them) are all worth the watch.

Tim Walz was right, these people are weird as hell. IDK why they dropped that devestating, and true, messaging.

Damn they are really scared of this election. my social media feed is full of slop about Tallarico, and I don't live in Texas
Also apparently I'm supposed to give a shit about the LA mayoral election, too.

Talarico is a straight white Christian dude that happens to be a Democrat. Republicans can't cope. he actually follows the teachings of Christ, which Republicans can't stand.

I was remembering just how awful the Malcolm reboot was. Whoever made it must hate MitM. They ruined every character in the service of gaying and faking and trannying everything about it.

Anyway, check out "Malcolm in the Middle". It's still and great show.

One actor will sprint off camera, hand off the screwdriver, a second actor will sprint on, deliver one line then sprint off again. Each new Doctor Who will have their gender revealed through the use of subtitles. No straight white males need apply.

247 To enjoy Doctor Who even a little bit you need some understanding of what the Doctor is, and basic backstory about the show.

It follows a formula and doesn’t explain itself multiple times every episode. There are lots of aliens and monsters and villains and deadly situations that the characters try to figure out and then survive. That’s all there is other than time and space travel.

If you go into an episode blind of course the entire premise will seem incomprehensible.

It would be like watching Star Wars by starting with Return of the Jedi, so it’s going to all seem silly and stupid if you haven’t invested in the story to the bare minimum.

The shock of the show is that Rockford treats it like a job, makes sure he gets paid, sometimes quits and everyone treats him like dirt for being a PI.

2. Or he would have someone else chase the guy and he would hop in his Lincoln and eventually get the shot.

305 >>>299 I lost the ability to breathe watching the episode of Psych where somebody kills Gus' boss and Gus freaks out and messes up the crime scene calls, calls Shawn who also freaks out and messes up the crime scene even more.

Episode's decent, too.

317 I've never actually seen the Rockford Files. But I've seen a music video that someone made, putting scenes from the show over the full theme song, and it's basically a PSA for stay in school and don't go to jail or you could end up a PI and that would *suck*.
Posted by: SciVo at June 11, 2026 05:29 PM (Sy6m/)

That is how the show was. Rockford had a few buddies, but he did the job to make a marginal living lived in a trailer parked on a lot near a beach (kinda near where I live now) and was disrespected and beat up a lot. The jail time was a frame job that he proved his innocence, not that it mattered a lot.

I think the normies in the UK have squeezed all they can out of that show. If somehow someone independent takes the IP with some decent writing maybe something can be patched up, but why bother. You could make a new character and new situation and make your own show and have a better chance.

322 There were a bunch of those PI shows going at the same time. The best, however, was "Cannon" because there would ultimately be a chase scene. And, William Conrad, who played Cannon was a bit overweight...as in obese. So, ultimately one of two things would happen...
1. Cannon would stay put and the baddie would accidentally run past him.

2. Or he would have someone else chase the guy and he would hop in his Lincoln and eventually get the shot.

327 First scenes the Mandalorian is bounty hunting an Imperial War Criminal who has his own private army of At-Ats. The Mandalorian uses his Tony Stark jetpack and zips around destroying them with relative ease. This immediately makes him more powerful than Luke Skywalker, who almost was killed by them on Hoth. Typical James Bond opening. Now that we've established he's invincible, the reset of the movie will involve character development of his dark conflicted past or something. Nope, the Mandalorian is the most boring character since Captain Merrill Steubing. It is hard to make a Star Wars movie I won't like. Hats off.

Doctor Who has no magic.
His only real power is the ability to regenerate after death.

Everything else is him getting out of a deadly situation using his brain with the occasional fight, and rarely using a weapon.

His superiority comes solely from his IQ and the fact that he's lived for thousands of years, the rest is advanced technology.

Whatever

I guess I'm compelled to cover the daily diary drama of static stalemate and infinite "peace deals" about to be signed any moment now:

Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening. Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others. The Naval Blockade will remain in full force and effect until this Transaction is finalized -- Time and place of the signing to be announced shortly.


Sure.

But I think I've heard this before 18 to 35 times before.

Unrelated: A Somali referee was denied a visa from the Trump Administration due to terrorist ties.

The left has decided he's a hero. NBC, for example, cries that he's a victim of Trump's draconian visa policies.

According to NBC News, Artan's denial was due to the Trump administration's discriminatory anti-immigration policies.'


He is not an isolated case: 15 Iranian officials have also been denied entry, according to Iranian state media, as has the official Iraqi team photographer. An Iraqi player, Aymen Hussein, and other teams say they have been subjected to intensive and sometimes invasive searches at the border.

Oh no! Iranian officials have been denied entry into the country? And their only mission was to appear at a stadium, also known as a "target for a mass casualty event"?

The racism you guys, the sheer racism. My heart cannot take it.


Al-Shabaab, the Somali franchise of Al Qaeda, declares their support for the terrorist ref.

Most of the rest of it deals with Lloyds of London and shipowners fearing risk. The reality is that Iran doesn't really have the ability to sink much if anything of oil tankers, compressed nat gas and resin haulers more as they deal with more flammable materials.

39 No, I think I’ve made the argument that ceasing combat operations was a mistake. You don’t make a decision to engage in combat operations, then cease them short of your objectives. Iran provided material support for the insurgency in Iran and the Taliban in Afghanistan. That’s before we get to Hezbollah and a whole alphabet of terror organizations. The IRGC isn’t going to give up until they are all dead. They will cut a deal and wait for us to move out of the battle-space. Then they will resupply, reformulate and start all over again.

49 27 I'm admittedly confused, because Trump called in to Fox & Friends this morning and was gung ho about blowing shit up and making the rubble bounce. I thought he'd leared his lesson, possibly at a quality center. Now I don't know what to think.
Posted by: Ian S.

Trump is playing a double game--the long one is the blockade which doesn't get lifted until we get the nuke material safely. The short one is keeping current spot market oil prices down so you get the Iranians actually getting a taste of their own medicine which makes it difficult to oppose. Each time they try to escalate, they get whacked.

Sort of like the knight getting parts lopped off in Monty Python.

And this is at little risk and cost to the US other than playing whack a mole over and over again.

Patience in such situations is a virtue instead of rash action. Remember the goal stated and forever here is getting the nuke material out--not regime change. Israeli calculus is different and not ours. They want the IRGC gone, we are indifferent--if it happens yea, if not we have pulled the worst of their teeth.

And the blockade hurts every other economic and strategic competitor far worse than us.

If he plays it right, Trump has given himself the perfect gift for the next two years. He has a victory, a peace deal, free transit of oil that isn't undercutting the international market, and full permission to bomb the contumacious elements of the IRGC that are still hiding out FROM THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT ITSELF.

We do control all passage of ships in and out of the Strait through the southeast. Not in the Strait itself. The blockade line is several hundred miles SE of the Strait, across the Gulf of Oman.

Will they surrender the enriched uranium? Most likely no.
Will they allow ships unfettered access to the Straight, without tolls? Most likely no.
So, whatever "deal" is being proposed isn't worth the paper it's printed on, factions of the Iranian power structure will violate it before the ink is dry and we're gonna be right back where we were yesterday, the day before and the day before that.

The Iranian news agency Fars reported that "given that the U.S. accepted the version proposed by Iran, the likelihood that this version will be approved by the regime is high." It was further noted that "about two weeks ago, the draft text of the memorandum of understanding between the negotiating teams was only waiting for final approval in Tehran and Washington. Trump again demanded to add some new details and in response Iran announced it would not examine the new version. Since Wednesday, Qatar entered as a mediator and announced the U.S. withdrawal from the new additional clauses. That is, a return to the original text that was still awaiting final approval. Not only did Iran not give a final response, but it is the U.S. that returned to its previous demand."

I think you're right. It's psychological and emotional now. I think of Hillary as an aggressive grifter and therefore always looking for a chance to milk her name for a buck, but there's also her wounded psyche. I still watch her concession speech from 2016 from time to time, and I'm sure she lives with it every day.

A basic knowledge of economics of supply and demand is simply not taught today for most people.

FWIW, hyperinflation is considered at 10 percent per year or higher. Trend lines on gas are actually flat for the first part of June because the miracle of the market has decided that 90's to 100 per barrel adequately prices in current demand/supply and risk. When energy prices start drifting down, which gas prices have done so in part in June, then so do other markers like groceries that depend on transport costs.

The oil shock since the Arab Oil Embargoes in 1973 and the Iranian Revolution in 1979, has been feared in the West ever since then. This shows it is in fact a paper tiger if a) we produce our own oil, b) much of the cost of that increased price of oil falls on China and other manufacturing nations that are competitors of the US. This shock is resulting in money coming into the US to buy our oil and gas rather than leaving. And is causing a lot of exploration and development of new resources here and in Venezuela.

158 Watch for it - the "deal" is going to hand Iran all the money they want, with only a promise to "negotiate" the nuclear material for 60 days. After 60 days, Iran will say "ha ha screw you we're keeping it all and building a nuke" and since every US asset will have been stood down, Trump will try to pretend that's what he really wanted all along. The US will never go into a war during campaigning for a mid term election, and Iran knows it.

The model for the deal - the Hamas "peace agreement" that promised to see Hamas be disarmed - and which collapsed completely in less than 60 days, with no one doing a thing about it.

CPI is a) a month out of date at least, and 2) tends to switch around important data points and exclude fuel and housing. It is 4% and down from 9% for May. ShadowStats thinks it is at 8% down from 11% level using 1990's standards.
There is another index that is more real-time that thinks the current CPI is closer to 2% and we will see that in the BLS data in a month or so

210 The fundamental problem Trump has is the only way to get the Iranians assholes to not be a duplicitous death cult is to eliminate them and the only practical way to do that is a full on war which likely mean troops on the ground. Trump won't go there, at least for now, because his hero play has him in the role of the peacemaker.

These opposing realities leave Trump with trying to convince the Iranian death cult to essentially commit suicide. Good luck with that. Plus they own all the dirt, don't give a crap about human suffering, and can read a calendar.

The Death Cult is playing Trump for a chump. They will never sign a peace deal and mean it. They might sign one if it gets them all the cash locked up in the West. Of course, 10 minutes, they will be right back to business as usual.

Trump still may be able to pulls this off but he is going to need to level all modern life in Iran, or, up to the point the regime collapses. And if not they path ahead, unfortunately for Trump, looks a whole lot like what happened to Japan and Germany in WW II.

Until then, enjoy looping episodes of Lucy yanking the football away from Charlie Brown.

Trump's war aim has been constant--no nukes for Iran. Iran started this by gloating they had enough material for twelve nukes.

So please explain what are YOUR goals for victory. Is it low gas prices? Regime change by boots on the ground? Blockading them harder? Sending in our troops into Iranian territory to grab and extract the nuke dust? Sending in an army to remove the government by force and occupying Iran until it is safe to leave?

He just launched a bunch of strikes including the key IRGC command center yesterday yet that is not enough? I think every critic needs to put up front what they consider 'victory'.

And the reason folks don't is because for some, it is restoring the Shah, for others, ending the IRGC with some new government, others, pulling back home, some want cheap gas again, and so on. Others, lets blow up a bunch of shit and leave again. Etc. etc. In the previous thread YD was at least willing to do that. Most don't because they know they are going to get flak from others with different victory ideas.

Hard to assess. A nuclear Iran means actual serious disruption to oil supply in the future(not this mild stuff)

At any rate, it's not particularly realistic unless the US were to have a disastrous land invasion. Under assumptions of a permanent blockade global oil supply will have adjusted well before then.

Correction - we would lose it b/c we wouldn't want to win it. We tend to fight with 2 hands tied behind our back. It makes it hard to win.

In the beginning, I didn't want to be here. I wanted to Cuba Iran...but we went in with the targeted leadership decapitation strike, the bombings and the retaliation that led to both sides are hand's off war. And now we tried to back off to a Cuba strategy (without the other side really doing so), but with way more assets needed and at risk.

So, as I've said, I don't care if Trump decides he tried, he kicked the can, and he's done. I just want him to decide that, save our money and assets, and leave. And not be in perpetual dither mode or "on again, off again"...

Hard to do that with no money. The reason we are in this situation in the first place is cowardice from Carter through Reagan, Bush I and II, Clinton, Biden and Obama. Obama gave the Iranians billions to enable this mess.

Trump is instead trying to fix 48 years of kicking the can down the road without getting a bunch of Americans killed and without letting the Iranians have nukes to blow up the Middle East and perhaps more.

I am not going to sit back and bitch because I had to pay more in gas these last couple of months because Trump is doing everything possible to keep our troops from a bloody situation.

This is a long term situation that may take even years of a blockade because neither bombing is not sufficient and we are not going to invade Iran with troops like Iraq.

242 For the last six weeks:

TRUMP ISN'T DOING ANYTHING HE'S BEING PLAYED

Meanwhile, he was successfully blockading Iran to the point where their oil exports decreased 90%, which is about a 10% hit to their GDP. He was quietly doing Project Freedom while saying he wasn't, to the point where, if you believe him, 20+ tankers are moving through the Strait every night. Which is a good start, but needs increased obviously.

If the Strait is closed to Iran but open to us, their leverage is gone. That's a strategic victory.

There's no "journalists" embedded with the US forces in the Iran AO who are reporting from the war zone. They're all online "experts."

How do they know what's what if they're not actually there to see what's going on? So I suppose we take everything reported as truth when nobody's actually there?

What they had is enough enriched uranium to make nukes in a couple of weeks or so. Takes very little to enrich uranium to bomb grade from over 60 percent. And they had hundreds of pounds of it enriched to that degree plus the missiles and warhead development to use them.

Whatever the faults of Mossad are, their penetration of Iran's nuclear program was excellent and the fact that the Iranians were trying to dig out those casks meant that we had to reengage this March to prevent them from exploiting it.

From Lebanon in 83 on (I was there by the way) I think we've been way to involved in other countries affairs, WITHOUT the will to do the nasty things needed to actually fix anything.

So, the US military has been at war with various folks for 50 years... with only a couple of years of no combat ops... all while pussy footing around so nothing gets done.

But this one? Iran? is the root of most of the problems we've had in the Mid East since 79. We need to do HARD things to fix them. We need to spank the baby, until the baby changes behavior.

My definition of victory is the inability for any organized military unit in Iraq to muster a force larger than 10 people or mount any military operation requiring more than a zippo and a can of gasoline.

No military or mixed-use infrastructure remaining to move, produce, or repair military hardware or sustain operations. Bridges gone. Power plants gone. Food storage gone. Depots gone. Railheads gone. Any assembly line longer than three retards and a pair of sheep shears, gone.

I want them planning in the dark, eating rats, and fighting amongst themselves for the last clean uniform to be buried in and a shovel to dig the hole.

All, and I mean all, gatherings of hardliners struck wherever they hide. Be it a mosque, a school, or a hospital. I want a sustained campaign of nonstop bombardment and targeted killings until everyone with the rank of Junior Janitor at the IRGC Latrine Complex in East Bumfuck, Iran is scared to go to work in the morning.

I see a lot of Europeans (especially) whining about the US not deserving to host the World Cup. And, arguably "soccer" while present in the US, is not a primary sport. In fact, if every high school didn't have a soccer team via tradition, the whole sport would be an afterthought in the US. That being said, I wonder how many people understand WHY the US is playing host, with FISA's approval.

The answer is "greed." The whole premise of the US hosting is due to NFL stadium facilities that guarantees a record financial windfall that isn't available in other countries. Nothing would make me happier than half filled stadiums, and ICE sitting right outside the venues for Central and South American country's games for kicks and giggles.

Or you can use Alexa to order things, but I've heard that is not a popular function.

So how does this work? Maybe AI can look at your order history and set up subscriptions for things you run out of on a predictable cycle. But it doesn't need you CC to do that. Just limited access to your Amazon account for updating subscriptions.

I mean obviously, it's on us normies being targeted by racial violence to be calm and not provoke thugs who have been taught that they have a free-floating right to attack or kill white people and if you challenge that right, then you are the next to be attacked or killed.

In fact, we should apologize to the Race Attackers for making it necessary to play the Knockout Game.

The media always attacks normal people for getting angry and becoming "radicalized" while they make infinite excuses not just for black assaults but for black incitements to commit assault.

Some "incitements," like the Crime of Noticing, should be punished by the state and, the state being absent, by Street Vigilantes enforcing Blood Reparations.

But other incitements to commit violence and demonization and dehumanization of another race are just "Good Trouble" which should be justified, defended, and amplified by the media.

This will not last.


wisted Karmelo Anthony supporters are bombarding the family of slain high school football player Austin Metcalf with sickening death threats, including a disgusting message saying Austin's twin brother, Hunter, should have also been killed.

The hateful messages started after Anthony's arrest last April, but went into overdrive after he was convicted of Metcalf's murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison Tuesday -- with some of the heinous abuse even sent to their personal phones, according to TMZ.

"Your [sic] just mad bc Austin is no longer living. Should've stabbed hunter too ... he f--ked around and found out," one of the messages read.

The unhinged supporters have also threatened to show up at the homes of Metcalf family members, even saying they were desecrating Austin's grave, according to the outlet.

This nasty demon wrote an open letter to Jeff Metcalf, father of murdered Austin Metcalf, telling him that he is the Real Killer Here of his son because he failed to instruct his son that "black boys have boundaries," meaning, if you offer black males what they might consider "disrespect" they can (and should!) commit murder.

boundaries.jpg

But you know, black economic inequality is caused exclusively by White Oppression and not at all by a thuggish culture that celebrates violence as "authentic blackness."

Full letter, containing "retarded racial propaganda," here.


And it's not just blacks -- white woke woman "allies" are, as usual, the unhinged Nazi propaganda ministers calling for the pogroms.


Are we really now at the state where black radical racists and "allies" openly declare what they have long hinted at -- that they have an unquestioned right to attack or even murder white people who do not afford them enough deference and "disrespect"?

Good luck with that!


I wonder where these thugs are getting the idea that they can assault or even kill white people as part of their racial reparations package?


By the way: The woman claiming to be a "former prosecutor" in the first video above is in fact suspended from the bar for "disciplinary reasons."

What a surprise.

🚨 BREAKING / RECEIPTS: Thelma Anderson was presented online as a legal voice after the Karmelo Anthony verdict but there is one very important detail people were not told.

The State Bar of Texas currently lists Ms. Thelma M. Anderson as "Not Eligible to Practice in Texas" with disciplinary status: "Suspended: Disciplinary Reasons."

And it gets worse.

The Texas Board of Disciplinary Appeals says Anderson pleaded guilty in federal court to wire fraud, was adjudicated guilty, received four years of probation, and was ordered to pay $20,871 in restitution to the SBA.
[https://tinyurl.com/5n77asvs]

FOX 4 previously reported Anderson was a former Dallas County prosecutor accused of taking out a roughly $20K PPP loan using fraudulent paperwork while claiming payroll expenses for a side business. FOX also reported she had been an assistant district attorney at the Dallas County DA's Office from 2016 to 2022. [https://fox4news.com/news/thelma-an
derson-ppp-loan-fraud
]

So before anyone sells her as an "attorney" giving serious legal commentary on the Karmelo case, maybe ask the obvious question:

Why was the audience not told she is currently not eligible to practice law in Texas?

That is not a small detail.
That is the whole credibility problem.

Public records don't whisper. They scream.

More at David Strom's post at Hot Air, including more psychopathic racist attacks on whites (which we're all racists for Noticing), but also some hopeful messaging from blacks who are also sick of the psychopathic thug "culture" valorized by far, far too many blacks.

A lot of blacks are speaking out about their own "black fatigue," being tired of bad behavior and criminality of their more criminal cousins.

Unfortunately, another bad aspect of black culture -- unthinkingly taking the side of another black no matter how indefensible his behavior is -- means that these people are routinely called "Uncle Toms" and "coons."

They are also guilty of the Racial Crime of Noticing.

The Blade has been saying this -- including on this blog -- for a long time now. It's a very welcome development.

The problem is the most outrageous assholes and ghetto rats making the most outrageous claims are the ones that get attention and "likes."

Some fake hoodwhore like Jizzmine Ratchet will say something like "blacks should be able to hunt whites," and it will get far more attention that when a normal black guy says "you know, I'm getting black fatigue too."

So much of this is rationalization for a member of the tribe (black) behaving improperly. They have seized on Metcalf 'putting his hands' on Anthony as the justification to respond with deadly force in order to defend himself. It bypasses the fact that he went to the area, armed. He refused to leave peaceably. He kept amping up the confrontation. The minute someone touched him, that washed everything HE had done away.

Its WHY he went there. It makes perfect sense if you are insane- and his family is justifying it because THEY are where he got that thinking.

She also seemed to be enjoying the entourage of young Black guys -- some sort of formal or informal guard -- and the knot of protestors with cameras that she attracted as she strode along.

I'm sure she's looking for deals if anyone wants an authentic victim and authority on Black victimhood.

82 But here's the thing.

Anthony woke up that morning looking for a confrontation. He put the knife in his bag.

He walked up to the other school's team tent and sat down. He was asked to leave multiple times. He refused. He put his hand in his bag. He said "touch me and see what happens."

He was touched and immediately stabbed him in the chest with all of his force.

Murder. Case Closed. If blacks want this to be the standard, so be it. You will all be Chicago South Side victims as you wish.

Did Austin's brother put his hands on Anthony?

I thought that was where the disputable part comes from. Austin Metcalf "started it" by putting his hands on Anthony.

And asking Anthony not to stab Metcalf in the chest means that you are advocating the "bullying" of black kids.

So, the brother isn't "guilty" of that.

And it sounds like they're just murderous.

By the time of his second term, the Left had grown disillusioned with Obama’s liberal patriotism and increasingly turned toward radical identity politics. Obama, always the politician, followed his base’s lead. Rather than mediating America’s racial tensions, the president inflamed them.

88 Metcalf showed Anthony "disrespekk" after Anthony acted provocatively in a dominance display. Metcalf is dead and these assholes think it's "self-defense" because Metcalf didn't act like the expected white pussy and act submissively enough for Anthony's enormous yet fragile ego. Anthony wouldn't stand for being punked by a white boy. They expect to be treated like wild tigers or something - no eye contact, give them a wide berth, don't entertain any social friction with them.

It's the same thing when:

- the cell phone on speaker, for all to hear
- the loud music in public

All of these, and more, are not "I didn't know better."
It's a performance, a test of the public, a dare:
"I dare you to tell me, I dare you to say something, I dare you to touch me."

Every single one is meant to provoke violence.
Violence they provoke and then use to claim victimhood.

104 It’s really not about black or white. There are plenty of decent, hard working Americans who just happen to also be black that don’t accept this garbage.

It’s about values.

The “thug” culture doesn’t just exist in the black community. It exists in many places because in its essence it’s about a lack of fundamental values, morals and compliance with our societies social contract. It’s a grievance society governed by the fundamental idea that a lack of achievement and advancement isn’t about your personal failures, it’s falsely about everyone else keeping you from achieving. It’s a lazy man’s excuse that people wield like a weapon, feeling that imagined oppression gives them license to take what they want and hurt whoever they can as reparation.

The only thing that stops this is decent people who achieve and come together on the basis of their values.

You can tell where the murderer got his values from the million dollar go fund me his parents collected and immediately started buying homes, cars and Gucci.

Obama lost support among blue collar whites between 2008 and 2012. He had to make up that gap by increasing black turnout in the "blue wall" states of MI/PA etc. Those states have large black populations centered in large cities (Detroit/Philadelphia). The Martin/Brown nonsense in 2012 makes sense in that context - that was what it was all about. Obama's parting gift to America was racial conflict and strife.

The sympathy pond is drained by fatigue derived from experience. Same with men approaching leftist women--experience teaches these males those women are not worth any long term engagement. And those women will sit and rot on the shelf when they suddenly realize they will be alone for the rest of their lives, ignored and swept aside, just like the guys they abused back in their heyday.

The Golden Rule has a seldom mentioned downside. If the other party does not treat you the way you treat them, then you will avoid, distance, dislike, and sometimes confront those that behave that way. As a group, treat other people like shit then your group, in turn, will get instant karma by being treated the same as you treat others.

I think part of it is that giving these guys three shots and a cots and internet access for life is not a good punishment for their crimes. So people take solace in that prison rape is rampant. The thing is, the current prison culture is not a deterrent either in keeping people from committing crime.

Because liberalism is emotional. They make an emotional attachment to some victims and not other people who could rightly be called victims.

And then they run that through an ideology filter that tells them who are the "good guys" and "bad guys".

About all they can muster is "OF COURSE, they have sympathy for the Ukrainian girl knifed on the train!" when they otherwise don't even mention it.

But when it's an ideological client, it's "Say his/he name!"

And that you don't initiate talk about the victim is some sort of proof of how bad a person you must be.

162 FSU was a great experience for both my son and DIL. We went to many basketball and football games and really liked the kids there.Also went to UF where other son was flushing our $ down the toilet, and those kids were more elite at games.

Son was in a class with a FSU football player, Leon Washington. Said he was a very nice guy and talked to him...and emailed that Leon's forearm seemed bigger than his thigh (I laughed, as my son is very tall and all muscle).

I say this as there were no skirmishes of blacks vs white Seminole fans in Tallahassee that I remember. In a stadium of 80k or so we did not feel nervous of being a cracka. Plus I am used to black people and whatever.

I don't think the culture changed at the university then, but the thugs surely embraced Kang Obungo. We in charge now, bro, with a brutha in the big white.

Whatever. This same son has a good friend from either college who lives in SC. Son and DIL were invited to his birthday party and went and represented the white nation and were treated well by his family. Good people and still in touch.

Everyone seems to grab what they want out of an argument.

Forgetting this is how people wind up in camps, and as that starts getting sorted out, the only question is what side of the wire you plan on being on.

192 About 10 years ago there was a book “Don’t Make the Black Kids Angry” by author Colin Flaherty. He interviewed a prison psychologist with 30 years experience who said:

“These “predators,” do not reflect a subculture, but a primary part of the black culture. This culture is one of sadistic and primitive impulse where they [the predators] believe themselves to be 10 feet tall, bulletproof, very smart, good looking, gifted, and tougher than anyone. These predators live without any sense of personal responsibility or boundaries with others. Hence, while assaulting or killing someone, the absence of a conscience is considered among their peers as an indicator of strength and power.”

That seems like a summary of what we are witnessing that they think Anthony is the victim. It’s truly sick.

But the family clearly bought into the victim mentality, they are poster children for how insidious that thought process is, how removing agency (and I am looking at you, AWFLS) begets people who think they don’t have control over themselves.

The nuclear family. A father and mother at home, raising the kids in a 'normal' environment, teaching right from wrong, good from evil and God's will.

The music and media industry that has turned sex into a conquest, especially in the black community, as opposed to a loving relationship lead to the 'baby momma culture' that is ruining society.

228 It is not RACE, it is culture.
Posted by: Romeo13
========
That is less than clear because the two are intertwined for a whole host of people in the world. To the extent that stereotypes exist which are some sort of averaging that people mentally employ.

Same with genetic components of culture which can coincide with race--e.g. cousin marriages, polyamory, etc. cause issues with genetics which then are reflected in culture. Ditto on heredity on time preferences and recognition of signalling in society. Those carry over to culture as well which can coincide with race.

So what are cultural effects and what are genetics in affecting individual behavior is a whole set of unpleasant questions that empiricism has shunted to the side. We literally cannot handle the truth because inherently we are both members of a group without much choice in the matter and yet have to interact with others that are different to us.

Hard to reconcile that other than Christianity and its Golden Rule. But that also means punishing/excluding/distancing from those that refuse to follow it.

This one is going to be interesting. In the past the militias and revolutionary drug gangs could run over the border to Venezuela and got support from Cuba. It was whack a mole and when things were slow in Colombia they were heating up in Bolivia and Peru. Now even Ecuador has US troops involved and is cracking down and Colombia was the last hole left because Petro had their back.
Petro has been suspended from acting as President for 30 days because the Colombian Congress figured he was too involved with the recent elections, but that is also being disputed since it puts the Legislative branch above the Executive, due to probably poorly written statutes.

But the family clearly bought into the victim mentality, they are poster children for how insidious that thought process is, how removing agency (and I am looking at you, AWFLS) begets people who think they don’t have control over themselves.

244 "Black boys have boundaries." Apparently not because Karmelo didn't know his when he entered a tent he didn't belong in and then refused repeatedly to leave.

I remember after this first happened, Karmelo's mother and family holding a press conference. His mother made a big point of saying that she raised her son in a two parent home, raised him to respect the law, that they went to church, etc. Right before the trial, during, and afterward everything coming from the family was accusations of racism. So they showed their true nature and what Karmelo was really taught growing up. Even his Grandmother was shouting it after the verdict and sentencing. It is all very sad. I pray for the Metcalf family that one day they can grieve in peace and that their son Hunter can go on with his life.

Again, all I heard from left-of-center people growing up is that vigilanteism was bad.

Now, they are telling me it's reasonable for Anthony to fatally enforce his own standards against assault.

There are a lot of unpleasant results like high retardation rates from cousin marriages which is why the West eliminated those until they allowed Muslims special dispensation to start them up again. Same with allowing tribalism from abroad to affect policy among immigrants (see the Caste System from Dot Indians for example). In group preferences among newcomers. Low trust and persistent lying among other cultures as justified.

And we know that general iq and short time preferences are genetic in nature. There are limits to the Flynn effect.

Because war will wreck the oil markets. $150/barrel oil will wreck the economy and guarantee a midterm wipeout. This level of inflation (short-term) isn't bad for the economy, and at any rate you can blame part of the inflation on hyperscaler mega-spending, which is a long-term good for the economy. If inflation is elevated yet steady, people adjust. Trump has made a habit of flipping conventional wisdom on its head, showing that he can take advantage of it. Trade deficits give us negotiating leverage. IRGC mines the Strait, we put a real blockade on it - all this is of a piece. The Dems, the IRGC and conventional wisdom want us to believe that Trump needs to make a deal ahead of the midterms. But does he, really? What if he puts that same pressure on the IRGC? Things from that perspective look very different.

Again they are wrenching reality to make their son the victim. The white kid was 7 feet, 350. He HAD to use a knife once the other kid resulted to fisticuffs (pushed him.)

297 Thugs, especially protected thugs, have learned a game. They do things in public that are intentionally provocative. Things like smoking in a no-smoking area, playing loud music, getting loud and aggressive with salary employees over tiny things or even imagined things, etc. If nobody says anything, they get a pride-boner for being so tough nobody will dare say anything to chide their bad behavior. If someone says something, they get to respond with over the top aggression.

Because liberalism suppresses the plurality demographic, so that works for them. Plus, unless they become conservatives, they never have to worry about their ethnicity coming under fire.

It is actually the tribalism and xenophobia in other ethnicities that have not even had to think about reforming by which they benefit from the suppression of the plurality which is white Europeans.

As it should be. Christianity teaches us that we are all sinners of one sort or another and the Good Samaritan teaches us that even what we consider 'unclean' may come to save us. But, on the other hand, the Good Book indicates that shaking the dust off from a hostile reception is also smart. Be as wise as a serpent and as meek as a dove.

Wisdom is avoiding those who by evidence destroy your peace and communion with the Lord to the maximum degree possible. By their fruits ye shall know them.

A few odd things going on here. They should have already had some nice cars and a nice home if dad was or is a GM for a large car dealership. Also the churchgoing and upbringing to respect the law. They probably did go through the motions, and now this? I've seen some intense brutality going on in Black homes where church and respect for authority are taught.

The same thing happened with that 18-year-old rapper "Julio Foolio." Intact family, well traveled, well educated, and then he gets into the rap world, goes gangsta, and weeps in shock when he's sentenced to a murder that he flat-out committed on camera. There's some fundamental misunderstanding in Black families about what respect for authority and the Golden Rule really are.

Whistleblower Vindicated: Biden Officials Conspired to Violate Court Order Stating that "Transgender" Could Not be Classified as a Protected Categroy Under Title IX (Which Protects Women on the Basis of "Sex", Not "Gender Identification")

Plus: After this article, the worst transgenders-in-girls-sports story I've ever read. I didn't want to put it in the headline. It's a very vulgar sexual violation committed during a sport.

I'm sure Fake Tapper and CNN will be all over Biden's lies and corruption and defiance of lawful (and obvious, open-and-shut) court rulings.


High-ranking Biden administration officials conspired to violate a 2022 court order against their interpretation of Title IX as covering "gender identity" within the definition of "sex," and may have also tried to conceal those efforts through coercion and intimidation, according to a Department of Education report made public Wednesday after lengthy outside review.

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel told President Trump the department "fully substantiated the allegations" by whistleblower Timothy Mattson, who now leads the department's Office for Civil Rights' regional office in Kansas City, recommending sanctions against current and former officials and compensation for Mattson for the risk he took coming forward.

"OSC has reviewed the disclosure, agency reports, and whistleblower comments," and "determined that the reports contain the information required by statute and that the findings appear reasonable," the agency's chief counsel, Charles Baldis, told Trump in a four-page letter.

The Feb. 19 "supplemental" report, compelled by the Trump administration's OSC after President Biden's OSC dismissed Mattson's allegations a month before the presidential transition, repeatedly names then-OCR Director Catherine Lhamon as the key figure directing Mattson and others to continue enforcing the gender-identity guidance.

"OCR's leadership actively engaged in efforts to thwart at least one OCR regional office (Region VII) [Kansas City] from following the plain and unambiguous meaning of the order" by U.S. District Judge Charles Atchley, a Trump nominee, who blocked enforcement of the guidance in the states that sued the feds, the supplemental report says.

The order validated years of accusations that Lhamon's office, which she led in the Obama and Biden administrations as assistant secretary for civil rights, misrepresented nonbinding guidance as legally binding, threatening federal funding for K-12 schools and colleges that didn't bend the knee.

Days after Atchley's order, in a virtual meeting with Mattson, Lhamon "stated that she planned to disregard the advice provided by" her own general counsel and the Justice Department "in navigating OCR's response to the Injunction." (Biden's OSC claimed Mattson "misunderstands the scope of the Court's injunction.")

Below: One of the worst transgenders-violating-women-in-sports stories I've heard.

A male was allowed to compete in wrestling -- the most contact of all contact sports -- against girls.

The male fingered his female opponent while wrestling her, pushing aside her spandex and thrusting his male fingers into her vagina.

The school district covered up for it, of course!




So close to Pride Month.

23 Hopefully the inclusion of males in female sports will increase.

Women were never meant to compete in sport, it is a waste of their reproductive years. Female sports is a vector for lesbianism, competition, strife, and physical violence, none of which are feminine traits.

A woman swimming across the ocean, slam dunking a sportsball, doing a triple flip off a diving board, or hitting a grapefruit sized ball with a metal pipe is inconsequential in comparison to birth more humans.

Think of the greatest female sports achievement of all time. Got it?

Okay. That achievement is still a retarded foot note in history compared to birthing even one human being.

30 "The male fingered his female opponent while wrestling her, pushing aside her spandex and thrusting his male fingers into her vagina."

The hardest thing about watching that video is that her mom (the one taking the video) is watching her daughter get assaulted and ... just laughs about it.

Now, it's possible the mom didn't know what was going on, but just look at the face of the girl. Clearly, something is very wrong that doesn't involve normal wrestling.

They didn't know this opponent was a boy? Really? Come on.

He says Starmer is making the UK "LESS SAFE" 🤯

"I am now left with no other option than to submit my resignation."

Starmer is also screwing up by trying to give away the Island of Diego Garcia to an IRAN-CHINA ALLY instead of keeping it, and now President Trump could try to purchase the islands — home to a key US-UK base

It's CLEAR he does NOT care about the future of Western Civilization! Resign, Keir!

I said from the beginning that you're more likely to get male pervs--who don't have to worry about shame because sexual shame is BAD these days.

And the shame against sexual shame has had a dual effect. Decreasing the stigma of pervs, encouraging more men into perving.

94 Someone mentioned the Mods and Rockers at the end of the last thread.

I haven't heard that phrase in years and it brings back a memory of a horrible fistfight where I nearly killed a guy. Not on purpose, just the way it ended up.

I was in a podunk bar in the Rockies, and I was wearing this 3/4 length Yves St. Laurent woolen great coat. Really nice piece of gear.

Out of nowhere, this piss-drunk Brit accosted me and started slurring out a barely coherent tirade about the Mods and the Rockers, which I did not then or now have a clue about. Some limey queer thing, I presume.

He started pawing and grabbing at this coat so I told him "this costs more than your wardrobe; touch it again and I'll feed it to you."

A few minutes later, I was out on the deck smoking, and this English pussy cheapshotted from me behind. He was a weedy little drunk guy, so it had little effect. I turned around and cracked him one good and hard... at which point he stumbled backward and fell down a long, steep flight of wooden stairs.

Like I said, he survived, but it was a real "oh shit!" moment I haven't thought of in a long time. Got real lucky on that one.

106 Politics Iran threatens Elon Musk’s companies in Middle East: Iranian state media

Iran will treat all of Elon Musk’s companies in the Middle East, including SpaceX’s Starlink internet service, as military targets as it retaliates against the U.S., Iranian state media outlet Fars reported Thursday. Iran is targeting “all interests related to economic holdings managed by Elon Musk in West Asia,” including a regional Starlink ground station, according to a translated post on Fars’ Telegram page. Starlink has played a key role in U.S. military operations against Iran, supporting high-tech ordnance ranging from aerial attack drones to unmanned surveillance and strike vessels.

How many Timeless Revelations have we been through in California now? First a ban on paper bags, then a comeback of paper bags, then a ban on free plastic bags (have to pay 10 cents each in Los Angeles and probably other Enlightened Cities), then another ban on paper bags, and now stores can't give plastic bags out at all due to a ban on "single-use plastic bags." So instead of reusing my plastic bags as trash can liners, I now have to buy them in giant packs from Costco.

Looking forward to all this Scientific Brilliance subsiding, assuming I'll live long enough.

So i walk in there and she's brushing her hair; no clothes; she punched me in the chest so hard i fell back into the hallway; i ran back to his room and she caught me in the back with the hairbrush she whipped at me.

Due to culture, and money, Thai whores are everywhere. Just about any good looking civilian even in Thailand has probably fucked for money.

There are really good, really skilled escorts there, but be selective, negotiate fees up front (without your little head being engaged), wear condoms for everything, and most importantly....never get a blowjob from anyone you haven't seen naked first.

123 I wrestled for 8 years, against boys and ladies during high school. This seems *highly* unlikely. Oil checks happen. whether intentional or not, you sign up for it when you play the sport.

the twitter video clearly shows (in my opinion as grappling practitioner) the trans student using that leverage to attempt to turn over their opponent to complete a pin. I think this completely insane. YOU CAN EVEN SEE THEM CONCEDE THE POSITION WHEN THE MOVE IS NOT WORKING????

There’s an 80% chance that this is just someone who doesn’t like transgender people, given how many bad-faith lawsuits are used against trans people. Of course, if they were actually assaulted, I do hope they get justice

Wrestling is intensely physical and intimate. Would this lawsuit exist if it didn’t involve a trans person? Would it be opportunistically shared around conservative media if not? No.

Okay. So she was assaulted by her opponent. There is absolutely NO reason that the opponent being transgender needs to be a part of this. Bringing up their gender status has nothing to do with the assault and will only lead to assholes going, “see! We can’t have THEM in our sports”

Posted by: Megthered

And what would you do? Trump did what he said he would do all along--remove Iran's nuclear abilities and that goes back over a decade. He did not promise, but too many people assumed, that we would do the whole Iraq regime replacement bugaloo again.

So his aim is to get the Iranian nuclear program shut down period. Not to restore the Shah or some other ruler to make the Middle East safe for democracy. If the Iranian people don't get rid of the IRGC, then they will be ruled by them but they won't have nukes or nuclear capability to threaten their neighbors.

To that end, he directed air strikes, a naval blockade, and the strictest sanctions with help from the Arab states, that Iran has ever faced. Their external money is frozen and they can't get more if they cannot sell their oil.

All of this at a very low cost in lives of American service members and higher gas prices.

Posted by: Biff Pocoroba

I had always heard about wrestlers sticking thumbs in opponents' asses, so Googled it just now. AI summary:

This technique is widely known as the butt drag or the oil check. In legitimate folkstyle wrestling, the move is designed to gain leverage by grabbing an opponent's butt cheek or tailbone area to control their hips or force a turn; penetration of the anus is not part of the official technique and is considered illegal.

However, in practice and professional wrestling history, the move has been controversially associated with intentional anal penetration, often referred to by slang terms like "checking the oil" or "the snub."

Legitimate Use: Coaches and officials state the legal move involves using an open palm or the back of the thumb on the buttocks for leverage, with accidental contact being rare and unintentional.
Illegal/Controversial Use: Intentionally inserting a finger or thumb into the anus is banned and has led to serious legal consequences, including sexual battery charges for wrestlers like Preston Hill in 2010.

What exactly is your definition of "victory conditions"?

Is Iran winning because it is in stratospheric inflation rates, most of the IRGC leadership is dead or hiding in holes, and none of their missiles seem to be getting through anymore? They can't even protect or resupply Hezbollah.

Bessant has seized all the assets outside of Iran that were socked away in the other gulf states to evade sanctions, and is going to disburse the funds to the countries Iran bombed in the last month.

But Trump is losing because . . . Well, we keep seizing Iranian oil tankers running silent. Because C-140s aren't coming home full of caskets for Trump and JD Vance to salute over, so it is hard to claim that is a loss.

Posted by: Kindltot at June 11, 2026 01:56 PM (rbvCR)

172 I think Trump is just flailing. I think his Generals and spy chieftain told him if we boot in the door, the populace will rise up and the whole rotten edifice will come tumbling down.

I think there was very little by way of a Plan B, and when none of that materialized, he's now stuck trying to figure out what the hell can be done short of a ground invasion, and not coming to a satisfactory answer. Hence the constant vacillation.

I just hope he settles on something soon. "Annihilate their entire civil infrastructure and bug out" is my preferred answer, but whatever ends this is fine.

My worry is that he's being strung along by these dopes in the Pentagon and Langley until they can get a nice big land invasion for us to lose.

When Mark Twain was a young printer's apprentice, a local minister hired the shop to typeset and print a collection of sermons and mail them out

This was in the days of hand-set type, meaning that if you found a typo in a page, sometimes correcting it would screw up one or more succeeding pages because it would throw the spacing off (Morons old enough to remember typewriters know the story).

Twain and another young apprentice were given the job. After they'd set up several pages they noticed a typo. They figured out that if they just abbreviated "Jesus" as "Jes." on one page, they could get away with only resetting that page.

They ran off proofs and sent them over to the preacher. He showed up at the shop in high dudgeon. "Disrespectful! Unacceptable! You must always use the FULL NAME of the Savior!"

So... they reset the job, using the full name, ("Jesus H. Christ"), ran the job, and dropped 'em in the mail.

The critical thing with self defense is you have to think it through BEFORE you have to act in some situation. Settle on what your red lines are now so that you don't get cognitive problems when required to act. Ruthlessness, speed, and commitment can carry you pretty far in most cases.

205 Disgusting....but......

A seventeen YO girl in our church wrestles against males in High School dual meets and good enough to beat some males. She is obviously fully aware that she is wrestling males and agrees to that situation. She of coarse wrestles in larger female-only tournaments where they can get enough girls from many schools.

She of coarse is made a better wrestler by competing with larger and stronger males. I don't (THINK) I would want to ban male/female matches if the girl fully agrees. OTOH, I don't think it's terribly fair to force a male wrestler to wrestle a girl and to possibly suffer the never-ending ribbing that would likely occur if he looses.

Going back almost 50 years we had a girl my age that had wrestled in grades 4-8 against other girls (wrestling is big in Pennsylvania) but it topped out at grade 8. She wanted to wrestle in high school, caused a little circus, but in the end (IIRC) she joined our practice meets for a season or so and went on distant tournaments where they could scrape enough females. It was a little odd in the first few weeks but she was so taped up on the top side that it wasn't much a factor.

Gas goes up before Memorial Day every year because of the switch between summer and winter blends in urban areas. A stupid ethanol friendly provision in the Clean Air Act mandates special anti smog blends using an oxygenation additive (alcohol or formerly MTBE). Obsolete as hell since OBD II computers for cars came out in 1996 but still there because of the rent seeking ethanol supporters in the Senate and House.

The other switch back to winter fuels occurs after Labor Day.

I was supposed to fight her hard, but I never had the balls to do that. I would have killed her. But I did fight her harder than a girl would have.

248 This was probably 25-30 years ago. I will not name the crew member, vessel or the port (other than it being in Alaska, and it was not me).

Said crew member was SUPPOSEDLY on harbor watch while the rest of the crew was off drinking and whoring away their money. He felt this was unfair and that he'd earned his fair share of hangover and chlamydia, so he sneaked over to a waterfront bar of less than stellar reputation. After he'd had a few, he invited a fellow drinker back to the boat, only to discover that "Lucille" was packing some extra gear that he hadn't expected. This went sideways in a hurry, attracting the attention of the local cops. Arrests were made.

Afterwards, the rest of the crew (by sheer coincidence, you understand) developed a habit of singing "You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Lucille" at regular intervals.

Took a while for him to live that one down, it did.

Your reasoning is bullshit here. The goal is taking Iran's nuke material and to do that safely rather than putting a bunch of troops in Iran is to force it via negotiations, blockades, and bombing as necessary. Trump let Netanyahu push the regime change shit and facilitated sending the Kurds some arms to give to the resistance and they double crossed everyone keeping them and the starlink terminals. So show me Trump ever promised we would regime change Iran. It was repeatedly if the Iranian people step up and get rid of their leaders.

In the long run, containment is the issue rather than proposing military decisions that could well make things worse. Iran without nukes is a state that can be contained, with them, not so much.

I'm advocating for a bombing campaign that destroys the entire country and plunges it into the distant past, and then walking away.

A lot of people here and elsewhere are sullen because of gas prices I suppose.

It isn't US casualties, nor really even US forces abroad which was a constant from 2001-2021 in the Middle East. Some argue it is a distraction but in reality, show where Trump could get more of his domestic agenda passed or through courts than he already is doing. Border wall is nearly completion, trade is being reorganized, oil is present and US oil, gas, even nuclear and coal are being revived, we are pulling troops out of Germany, took care of Venezuela, deterred China from Taiwan, and are slowly fixing our domestic employment into jobs for Americans, not invaders. Plus the public fisc has been revealed that at least half of our deficit if not more is outright fraud which is being cut.

I have never seen this sort of accomplishments in any modern US presidency since perhaps FDR in totally reorganizing the US and its foreign policy. Even Reagan does not come close and he squibbed badly on immigration and Iran.

Historically that does not work out very well. It is easier to deal with a bad government in Iran than anarchy because the anarchy invariably spills over borders into Pakistan, the other Gulf States, etc.

If pushed, I think Trump is more likely to destroy Kharg Island and the eastern Iranian oil fields than destroying the civil infrastructure. That lets the populace live but leaving both the IRGC and the people of Iran in abject poverty. Oil revenues ARE the Iranian economy which is the problem with rentier states.

The untold story is that core inflation is .2 percent last month. That is a 2.4 annual inflation rate without gas. And that unlike previous oil price crunches, this money is staying here to encourage even more production, reducing our trade deficit, and new fields are likely to come online because of the higher prices. It is also causing the end of the Green Nude Eel crap even in Euroland--they can't afford it anymore and now ironically rely on us for Natural Gas imports to keep the lights on.

Some people like to bitch and would complain while being hung that they wanted a new rope instead. At a certain point, I get tired of criticizing the guy fighting for us in the arena by people with little skin in the game.

Since we don't see masses of US troops being ground up in pointless combat and Iran spraying nukes on missiles throughout the Middle East or threatening too, I don't care about paying a bit more in gas.

Most of that bitching on gas prices, especially in blue states, is because Democrats in the blue state legislatures and governor's offices want it that way with enormous taxes on gas. Those taxes in turn are not use for the roads but instead for every other blue state boondoogle known to man.

In spades for California where they pushed refinery shutdowns by stupid and evil designs to raise gas prices by scarcity. But you never seem to see them bitch about their own state governments and rapacious taxation--instead it is Trump's fault.

I just hope he settles on something soon. "Annihilate their entire civil infrastructure and bug out" is my preferred answer, but whatever ends this is fine.

UK Government Begins "Instructing" "Journalists" On How to Spin the Beheading Agenda They Have Ushered Into the Country

As we see on the American left: the Real Crime isn't the real crime at all, the Real Crime is noticing the actual real crime.

And they will not tolerate the Real Crime of Noticing. Even as they instruct their pet "journalists" to convince the public to tolerate the actual real crime and show some understanding and empathy and above all else, "Remain Calm" and do not make a fuss.


Labour triggers Belfast attack censorship row as it sets out plans for new crackdown on social media content 'in times of crisis'

Social media is to face new curbs during 'times of crisis' like the Belfast attack.

Technology secretary Liz Kendall has unveiled plans to amend online safety laws to allow regulator Ofcom to impose a crackdown at times of heightened social and political tension.

The move will allow Ofcom to require tech firms to take tougher action on material that could 'incite violence or disorder'.

It follows growing anger among ministers about Elon Musk's ability to 'amplify' public concern over incidents like Henry Nowak's murder and this week's knife attack in Belfast.

But it also threatens to trigger a major row about censorship -- and a potential clash with the White House over free speech.

In a statement posted on Mr Musk's X site, Ms Kendall said: 'Those who use social media to incite violence and disorder are breaking the law. Next week we will lay in Parliament an update to the Online Safety Act requiring services to take quicker action to remove illegal content circulating during times of crisis.'

So endless indulgence to foreign war-criminals, rapists, and escaped maniacs, but they're going to put out an arrest warrant for Elon Musk for not blocking the video that shows the crime they are complicit in themselves.

In a clip below the fold, a the Minister for Northern Ireland -- a leftwing Karen, of course-- makes that explicit, stating "I wish people didn't see that video."

"I wish we could just cover up our crimes forever and censor anyone exposing them."

That's what you meant.

She added: 'I have explicitly asked Ofcom to discuss urgently with X and other platforms how they will comply with the Online Safety Act.'

Government sources said the move would cover any material which Ofcom considers might incite violence or disorder.

Unlimited immigration from third word barabarian states is what directly causes violence or disorder, but they won't do a thing about that.

It is unclear who will determine what constitutes a 'time of crisis'.

It's pretty clear to me -- a "time of crisis" is any period in which the consequences of the left's Third Worldism Agenda are made visible to the public.


The prominent Reform UK politician Matt Goodwin urged ministers to focus on dealing with the causes of public anger rather than trying to police social media.

'It's not social media that's "inflaming tensions",' he said. 'It's not Elon Musk. It's not Nigel Farage. It's not the "far-right". It is the very deliberate policy of mass uncontrolled immigration and open borders. This policy has to end or it will destroy Western nations.'<

Mr Musk responded to Mr Goodwin with a one-word post, saying: 'Exactly.'

But Labour Party chair Anna Turley said Mr Musk should stay out of sensitive political events like the Belfast attack.

...

'He has a responsibility - everyone in public and civil life has a responsibility to call for calm and not to stoke grievance or hatred or division or tension that puts vulnerable people and our communities at risk.'

Riots are the voices of the unheard. The left said that. Was that not true when you said it? If it was not true, why did you say it?

Drew Pavlou
@DrewPavlou

BREAKING NEWS: Australia's public broadcaster ABC News just accused @elonmusk
of ''inciting racial tension'' in Belfast because he did not censor footage showing a Sudanese refugee attempting to behead someone.

They're angrier at Elon than at the stabber.

The left is freaking out because someone on the vague "right" of the UK stated, accurately, that the UK is importing people from an "alien culture" who believe in beheading as a method of conflict resolution.

But while the non-elected members of the left seethe and howl about it, Islamoleftist British politicians just refuse to answer the question of whether they believe public beheadings are of an alien culture, or are a British tradition.

I mean yeah they chopped off Charles I's head but that was a long time ago.

We are aware of the tensions and talk of protests following this incident. We want to make it absolutely clear that overnight unrest is not welcome, and peaceful protest is the only way forward.

We have many migrants who make a deeply valuable contribution to our country, including in our healthcare system and hospitality sector and we depend on them to make our country work. We do not want this terrible tragedy to be used to divide people or fuel hostility.

In a medically induced coma. He had already suffered an attack in Scotland by a criminal as the guy drugged Ogilvie with GHB and then set him on fire with aftershave I think. Guy that did that to Ogilvie in in prison.

FWIW, Ogilvie is functionally retarded apparently from the record and per his family (aka special needs). Poor guy is exactly the type that government should protect. And btw, there is a second accomplice to that Sudanese involved in the attack, you hear that guy warning in the video the head chopper that the police were coming.

Then they make an excuse to want digital ID to stop illegal people working, who will just avoid using the digital ID.

Now they want bans that will need some sort of ID as proof of usage.

Fellas. I think they want to introduce digital ID whether we want it or not. There's some backhanders going on.

Marcuse was a degenerate who was the sort to dance in the wreckage of society. He could not build a damn thing, only destroy what was there. Hope he is burning like a log in Hell as he deserves.

What that smarmy bastard did along with other French degenerate philosophers after WWII was to try to spread his degeneracy to other nasty wannabe intellectuals and potential ruling class members so they became murderous and destructive automatons. Working Marcuse's vengeance on society while his body is mouldering in the grave and his soul is in eternal torment.

170 Keep in mind that this Censorship (while enacted within the UK) isn't confined to the shores of the UK. Their recently inacted "Online Safety Act" was an over reach.

If the UK does not agree with content on foreign platforms (for example the US based YouTube), they will enact their "Online Safey Act" and inform that platform that they are entitled to a fine/penalty of a certain % of that platform's revenue.

THIS is why all the live streams of the Irish protests went down at the same time. YouTube was only too happy to comply. Musk (and X) on the other hand tells them to F*ck Off and then blocks the individuals making the demand so that they don't have access to X.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Tens of thousands of Spencer Pratt voters are now receiving rejection letters from the county clerk saying that their ballots were not counted due to signature irregularities. Yet, Governor Gavin Newsom just passed legislation that would make it illegal for anyone conducting oversight, to contest signatures that they deemed fraudulent. Democrats allow ballots to be signed with an X, a -, or a 🙂 to pass and count, but all of a sudden, only Republican signatures are being flagged for irregularities, rejected, and not counted. 🤔 One of these California Republican voters said that his signature has been on file for over 20 years and there has never been an issue until he voted for Spencer Pratt. Nithya Ramen has beaten Spencer Pratt by less than 3000 votes. There are at least 18,000 Pratt voters who received this letter saying their votes were rejected.

203 Amusingly, as this goes on, there is a real effort underway to ban Russian tourists from the EU.

A more limited effort underway is to ban anyone who served in the Russian military from traveling to the EU.

Of course, if they do that, it will take about ten seconds for efforts to start to ban anyone who's served in the IDF from traveling to the EU.

IIRC, that was the second coroner. The first report said it wasn't a homicide. Said that St. George died of complications from OD (a heart attack, IIRC). Then the usual suspects started screaming and setting things on fire, so a new report was issued.

That they changed the report from "natural causes" to homicide was one of the single biggest and most outrageous miscarriages of justice in the history of miscarriages of justice.

Important. The Daily Mail has just revealed that the Belfast knife attack suspect was granted asylum in Britain under a controversial 'fast-track' scheme, introduced by Reform's Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman.

It has been reported that the monster's case was dealt with through this scheme.

Jenrick and Braverman gave him 'permission to stay here after completing a 10-page Home Office questionnaire rather than undergoing the standard – and far more rigorous - face-to-face interview process' the Mail reports.

This is traitorous.

Reform's Jenrick and Braverman have serious questions to answer.

Today.

There is one party that will deal with these savages in the appropriate manner.

Asylum system abolished, mass deportations and a referendum on the death penalty for scumbags who attempt beheadings on British streets.

Restore Britain.

It's been a long time but I finally have an update on this case and it's great news.

The migrant rapist who assaulted the young girls in Dundee, Scotland last year has been found guilty of assault along with his sister.

If you are not familiar with the story I would read through my previous exclusive reporting on the incident. I will also link an article in the replies with information from the trial.

What we learned in the trial is that the story I reported from my contact with the family has been totally vindicated. We were telling the truth, the migrants were lying.

The judge agreed after hearing testimony from witnesses and reviewing CCTV footage of the incident. The migrants will be sentenced on Aug 5th, 2026.

ICE is snatching up guys along I-26 in South Carolina, and now my mom is texting me complaining about all the trucks taking highway SC-71 to get around the checkpoints. They would typically see 1-4 trucks a week, mostly local logging trucks. Now they're getting over half a dozen per day, all Amazon and food delivery trucks. You can't tell me that Amazon doesn't notice when these trucks go out of route. Forget the highways, ICE should be staging near every Amazon fulfillment center and Sysco warehouse in the country.

Toss in the UK police handcuffing the guy, who was stabbed by a colonizer, and then watched him bleed out...the UK government is probably going to need to ban gas cans and matches.

Quite the disclaimer at the end.......to protect himself:

As a final note, I would like to reiterate that this is an educational article. Myself or the Will2Rise Crew by no means encouraged violence or suggested its escalation throughout this article, nor did we suggest that readers use this as an instruction manual (or join active clubs to train for protests) like our detractors often claim. We have only focused on the comparison of professionalism and organisation during the Northern Ireland demonstrations and the English demonstrations as an academic curiosity that we think our readers will find entertaining. Should any AJAB (All Journalists Are Bastards) outlet or independent use this to frame W2R as violent agitators or some kind of fantastical, super secret tactical command division for the nationalist movement, they will be proven false from the start and be revealed to be the paranoid theorists everyone knows they are.

It's the hypocrisy of sloganizing what's not-so-easy to simplify.

They need simple slogans, so they cut the matter down into emotionalized symbols.

Next, because they have imprinted the simpler slogan on their brains by repetition, they can't handle the full matter that they simplified to chant in the political scuffle.

That is the problem for the soft authoritarian state, the left eviscerated the control mechanisms and they simply cannot lock up 90 percent of the population. So you get these repeated one off making examples of people but the rising tide of anger is likely to end up in a time of troubles.

And in such times, politicians will be targets along with their family. They should have learned that from the 70's to 90's prior example.

Airey Neave, Lord Mountbatten, nearly Maggie Thatcher and a bunch of her cohorts at Bournemouth, etc. etc.

The elites can be touched if the anger is enough. And I think that massive anger is accelerating while Queer Sir Keir is trying to hold onto his seat by doubling down.

That is what people don't get about political upheavals, they are like earthquakes, you get tremors that subside so the belief becomes it will always be that way. Meanwhile the stresses build up under the surface until rupture of massive and destructive power occurs.

Nothing the EU nor the UK government can do other than total reversal of policy will work now.

Then they make an excuse to want digital ID to stop illegal people working, who will just avoid using the digital ID.

Now they want bans that will need some sort of ID as proof of usage.

Fellas. I think they want to introduce digital ID whether we want it or not. There's some backhanders going on.

The Morning Rant: Will Europe Grow Up?

punk-monkey.jpg

One of the more corrosive aspects of American foreign policy with respect to NATO and Europe has been the infantilization of Western Europe. After World War II they quickly became militarily subservient to America, which, while understandable, created the conditions necessary for their massive welfare states and an equally massive shift toward cultural passivity. No longer did they see themselves as defenders of their countries and their lives...that was America's job, while they enjoyed six weeks of vacation and cradle-to-grave social services. Never mind that their medical care was awful, and their standard of living lagged far behind America's...everything was being done for them, including protecting them from the consequences of their passivity...the loss of martial spirit, patriotism, love of native culture, etc.

The results are clear! Europe is being subsumed under a tidal wave of third world immigration, led by the revolutionary political philosophy of Islam, that without some cataclysmic change will soon rule the UK, France, Belgium, and perhaps others.

Regardless of America's previous domination of European defense, it is high time that their cultures mend themselves and take responsibility for their military failings. It is axiomatic that a country that cannot defend itself cannot long survive, even in our post-modern malaise. The hordes crashing Europe's borders care not a whit about self-actualization and pronouns and transsexualism and gay marriage and policing free speech. They care about conquest, and they will succeed!

ECFR Poll: European Trust in US Defense Commitment Plunges

Europeans are increasingly questioning whether the United States would come to their defense in a military crisis, according to a new survey showing confidence in America's security commitment has fallen to record lows.

The poll, released Wednesday by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), found that only 11% of respondents across 15 European countries now view the United States as an ally "sharing our interests and values," down from 22% in November 2024.

Researchers said the findings reflect "deep European distrust in the U.S." ahead of upcoming G7 and NATO summits.

While most Europeans still see America as a "necessary partner," majorities in every country surveyed said they no longer believe the U.S. would necessarily come to their aid if they were attacked.


This is magnificent news! It is the first step for Europe moving out of America's basement and finding its own place in the world! The real question is whether the existential ennui that infects most of Western Europe can be banished as they see the consequences of their subservience to American power.

Will France regain the martial spirit of de Gaulle? In 1966, he demanded that all American troops must leave France, and France left NATO's integrated command structure, leaving it as a free agent. Good or bad...it was national self-determination, and it stiffened the backbones of the French.

Will The United Kingdom regain the cold resolve of Margaret Thatcher, who dispatched the Royal Navy 8,000 miles to defend the Falklands? That was the last gasp of patriotism in the UK!

Will Germany return to the Germany of the 1980s; with a superb armed forces that knew it was first to do battle with the Soviet juggernaut, and was determined to succeed?

Time will tell, and the smart money is against all of that, but rejecting American dominance and accepting that they are all independent countries is a good start.

@BullTheoryio BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country.

Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison.

The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption.

Not only do we need to kick the UB scum out of our country. We need to withdraw from NATO. All our money, personnel and equipment. They have proven themselves to be worthless and feckless.
In my more angry moments, I would remove even the men buried in the cemeteries there and in Tunisia. England any anywhere else that hates us.
Leave no one behind. Open a new and beautiful National Cemetery here in the states. Certainly not in any dumocrat run locale. Leave the vacant, open graves there. They will not understand but, the whining will be spectacular.

61 The United States has zero business pursuing alliances with Europeans. This is the 21st century, ferpetessakes. They ceased being a military force almost a century ago. They ceased being a cultural force 50 years ago. We are living through the time when they are permanently winding down their economic power, and soon they won't even be Europeans anymore, but Arabs.

In no world does it make sense to waste time, effort or money on these useless eaters, and there is huge downside potential to it... you might as well say "I was thinking about eating this shit sandwich. I mean, sure, it tastes like shit, but at least it could make me extremely ill."

We need to wind down our military commitments, withdraw our nuclear weapons and demand, menacingly if necessary, their own denuclearization. From there, we need to seek to diplomatically and economically isolate these nascent Arab States.

It's time to quarantine this diseased corpse, not prop it up for an extremely gay remake of Weekend at Bernie's.

Seriously, in that situation, use your phone only for absolutely uncontroversial purposes, doctor appointments, routine business, etc. No chit-chat at all. Disable all the cameras on your phone. Maybe consider having a "muffle bag" for the phone, equipped with a white noise generator, so its microphone cannot listen in on conversations.

83 I think it's entirely possible that there is too much grift and fraud in European public budgets for them to be capable of defending themselves, until their existing Ruling Class is removed from power, root and branch. And that might not be possible either. What if the replacement clique would just immediately go about duplicating the lazy beak-wetting of their predecessors?

That could happen if it's engrained in their culture now. Their whole nations could simply be too corrupt muster resistance to an invasion of lightly-armed barbarians, let alone field a First World military.

And if that sounds far-fetched, I refer you to California's bespoke, artisanal cougar/butterfly bridge, that crossed the $100M mark and still wasn't done, when other states provide the same function for $15M. That gives us a baseline floor of at least 85% of their budget being grift, fraud, and waste. And Europe's public administrator cultures are much older and more entrenched.

They could be even *worse* than California. It sounds like fiction, but I am dead serious when I say that the same countries that made whole continents burn not 80 years ago, could now be incapable of stopping a rubber boat.

The "good times create weak men, weak men create hard times" cycle has allowed the complete inversion of Maslow's hierarchy, and much of the "elite" west has so little concern with being fed, sheltered, and warm that they have been able to create that vast shrill needy medicated cesspit of self-actualization in which we have all been stewing.

When it's in the Faraday bag, it cannot receive a call. On order for cellphones to work at all, they have to ping and be pinged by cell towers on an ongoing basis. So your location can be known by the authorities. But if you can prevent the phone from scooping up images and audio of your daily life, and conversations with other people in meatspace, you have some degree of protection.

Lizzy, there are a lot of things one can do to protect your privacy online, EFF has some suggestions. But in reality, all governments, including even places like East Germany, run into the reality you cannot arrest all of your citizens--sooner or later they are going to do what they are going to do and the only thing you can do is tamp it down a bit.

I think what we are seeing is effectively the death of Labor and the globo homo regime in Westminster. Sweden, which used to be ground central for globo homo, has shut the doors on refugees as have the Danes. Eastern Europe is not going along with the EU, Greeks are using the new EU law to kick out refugees to Africa etc. before they are processed.

Starmer and his ilk's time has run out. Same with the Tory do nothings and when it comes out that the Sudanese head hunter was granted asylum by Sunak's policy along with Reform UK Braverman who was Tory Home Sec at the time, etc.,

But the thing is that at the same time that we have had the stopwatch ticking on Africa to develop, we've had another whole portion of our culture telling them and everybody else that if you disparage their culture of tribalism, that is it's own form of tribalism.

And during that time of course, "globalists" became neo-tribalists or meta-tribalists. Their tribe became "globalists", such that being not-as-global became sin.

Not really, even in the UK it is about 6-7 percent. Right now, what we are seeing and why the resistance is that these invaders were concentrated in major dying UK cities like inner London, Manchester, Liverpool, etc. but are now being distributed around the country. Much as happened during the Biden administration where they dumped illegals in small towns, etc.

The native populations are now realizing that their government intentionally means to harm and replace them and there is nowhere to run away to anymore. This concentrates the mind when the insulation from bad government choices is stripped away and why I think you will see far more burning out the illegals as the tactical choice in Ireland, UK, Netherlands, and Germany. In France and Belgium, it is perhaps too late for anything other than military action to expel the invaders as they have literally taken over many urban districts and cleansed them of whites as no go areas.

182 Interesting we've sorta stopped routine finger pointing at Davos.

The 56th edition brought together (Jan. 2026) approximately 2,500 to 3,000 global leaders, including nearly 65 heads of state and government, as well as top corporate executives, civil society voices, and academics.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte strongly defended the relevance of the trans-Atlantic alliance. He pressured European nations to rapidly increase defense investments, scale drone manufacturing, and integrate AI into military operations.

(There were also panels about Greenland 'friction' & calls for greater regional economic sovereignty in Europe.)

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy delivered a blunt special address questioning NATO’s readiness to respond to raw aggression. He advocated for a unified European "coalition of action" & an integrated European military force. He noted plainly that "no security guarantees work without the US."

Zelensky announced a foundational deal regarding post-war security guarantees had been reached, setting the stage for trilateral peace talks in the UAE.

You can still call 911 without a SIM card. The system recognizes your phone's hardware via the IMEI number. The SIM just verifies that you have a provider account, and on newer phones, they have an e-SIM which is built into the OS.

A long time ago, in the early 2000's, I worked with big databases and before that smaller ones that tied to bigger units. The major problem with interconnected data is ratty/bad data that reduces the certainty of any summary report. So an individual can easily introduce ratty data into their own dossier by a number of tactics--pay cash for things every now and then, take your phone at times, don't take it at times, sign up for the favored customer crap but don't use it all the time and use different variations of your name and addresses. Particularly abbreviations so the OCR/data gets messed up. Spell out dRIVE instead of DR and so on--use the general zip instead of the zip plus four, get a commercial service to delete your name from every bit of databrokers you can afford, etc.

Make your data ratty.

Will France regain the martial spirit of de Gaulle? In 1966, he demanded that all American troops must leave France, and France left NATO's integrated command structure, leaving it as a free agent. Good or bad...it was national self-determination, and it stiffened the backbones of the French.




It's not as much about De Gaulle wanting to turn France into a free agent, it was more like, De Gaulle could read a map. If the Sovs came west, they'd have to go through West Germany and the other NATO powers before they ended up on the French border. So France would be defended from the Sovs no matter what, and the Frogs leaving the NATO military structure saved them money and allowed them to continue trying to rebuild their overseas empire. And as they'd never left the NATO political structure, they had a say in how NATO was run, without concrete military obligations.

Best of both worlds.

I think when it comes time to actually agreeing, that Hungary will start giving excuses. That PM was formerly a member of Orban's party and has not done much on globo homo as expected.

The tide is going out and the desperation that the left and their uniparty right is exhibiting by trying to ban, revote, etc. destroys the very legitimacy of these governments to actually rule.

They don't actually have the coercive forces that the old Russian/Eastern Bloc has--it is mainly threatening and browbeating with occasional people being made examples of.

So like a person confronting a bear without a firearm, they try to puff themselves up to be as big as they can appear to scare the bear away. If the bear is hungry or mad enough, that doesn't work.

Soft authoritarianism is in many ways, the weakest when push comes to shove because no one believes in the ruling regime anymore--they just go through the motions from stasis.

Posted by: polynikes
====
Most people skip to the Treaty of Versailles without regarding what happened after the Franco Prussian war. Essentially Germany got the same reparations terms that France did after losing that war and since WWI was mostly fought on French soil, France in WWI was far more devastated.

In comparison with the whinging Germans after WWI, the French paid off a truly massive reparations bill (which coincidentally aided Germans in building a massive military), early in a couple of years. Damn near broke the country and caused worldwide panics due to its affect on currency markets. And the Germans took for spite, Bismarck disagreed with it incidentally, Alsace and Lorraine from France and promptly sought to ethnically cleanse it.

Germans complain way too much about Versailles and like most bullies, ignore what they did before WWI--the main reason WWII happened is that the Allies blinked when they could have stuffed Shitler right when his meager troops crossed into the Rhineland at little cost.

Yeah. Some French-speaking Quebec regiment needed French-speaking recruits, so they got Africans from several former French African colonies, who hate each other's guts. LOL.

It's definitely happening. It's not just because of the goatfuckers. They have a lot of African recruits from former French colonies. Tribe X despises Tribe Y (and vice versa) and would be more likely to kill each other than Canada's enemies.

And all the Africans hate women and think they're property to be treated like whores. So they get alonw great with all the ladies in the service!

In other words, you have to remove the diversity to get the strength.

The etymology shows that "diversity" is from the Latin for "to tear apart", same root as "division" and "divisive". Which caused me to realize that "diversity is our strength" is correct if you interpret "our" the same way as "our democracy".

The 11% are the lazy mohammedans that aren't willing to engage in crime to get their hands on machine guns, they're expecting governments to provide them.

Only about 1-2% will actually be accurate with them though. The other 9-10% will spray-and-pray from the hip, no matter how much you train them. From what I've read, that was a constant complaint of US troops working with the Iraqis or Afghans. They'd eventually start shooting accurate, aimed fire at the range with a lot of training, but as soon as they were out in the field? Mag dumps from the hip.

The starving and freezing Germans in the Ruhr didn't care what happened 40 years prior. France's insistence that they get every last drop of blood from Germany set the stage for WW2. And they knew they did because they were expecting Germany to retaliate eventually.

Both France and Germany were typically retarded European but one had a chance to end the cycle.

Our media embargos covering Russia at all, really, but I sometimes read some other people like Simplicius, not because I agree with everything they say, but to know what they're saying. And he has good sources. So that's how I know about the spectacles they create, showing off captured war machines in Red Square.
Posted by: SciVo
=========
The war has been a strategic disaster for Russia as the meager tactical gains have not been worth the destruction and cost of the war. He was too arrogant, like the Germans in WWI, to figure out that his military could not match his bravado.

Reminds me of the pointless Iran-Iraq war in the 80's--both sides lost . Ukraine could never 'win' against Russia but won in a strategic sense by simply surviving. Russia possibly could have 'won' but its decapitation strike failed . Since then it has become a war of attrition and Ukraine, being the weaker party, has become adept and more nimble in leveraging tech than Russia has to replace lost manpower. So stalemate essentially on the battleground while Russia became a pariah internationally forcing NATO expansion.

And the French resented the Germans taking their land and ethnically cleansing French, the Belgians resented their neutral country being invaded in violation of a treaty which Germany declared it would never do. Basically, the Germans fucked around and found out. I have no sympathy whatsoever for the Germans in WWI. They precipitated the crisis and documents captured post War indicate clearly that Germany was intent on invading France--the earlier Moroccan crises just about lit off the war early. But the whole Von Schiefflen plan rested on invading neutral countries and destroying France before pivoting toward the Russians to destroy their armies.

I have no sympathy for Germans either in WWI or WWII for their deaths and sufferings--they brought it upon themselves. Just like France did with Napoleon and before with the endless wars over religion. Being stupid trying to gain territory/resources/reparations by violence using total war became strategically stupid when mass armies were created.

And ran into a signal float

122 Evening Calm, Concarneau, Opus 220 (Allegro Maestoso), 1891
Paul Signac

The Musical Connection: Signac was fascinated by the analogies between art and music. He painted five related images of fishing boats in the Brittany town of Concarneau, assigning each a musical tempo as a subtitle.
This piece is titled Allegro Maestoso (meaning "quick, lively, and majestic").

Technique: Following Georges Seurat's rigorous color theory, Signac used the pointillist method. He applied unmixed, precise strokes and dots of color separately onto the canvas, allowing the viewer's eyes to optically blend the brilliant hues into a radiant glow.

Visual Theme: The painting depicts the serene, flat waters of the Concarneau harbor. It is known for its luminous, pastel-toned sky and the subtle interplay of oranges, blues, yellows, and purples reflecting off the water.

I like the 'personality' of yesterday's painting a great deal, but this painting is very nice - and part of such a unique theme for fishing boats - and I would certainly consider hanging it.

Thanks

124 Like yesterday's art, the Pointillism technique becomes another element of the image. Not just what is shown but how. In this case the intricate combinations of the dots of color help create the atmosphere of a light misty morning on the water. It's effective.

This makes me want to learn how the colors are chosen to create the effect desired. I assume it's not just trial and error.

I would have thought that the artist would vary the spacing of the dots to create the shapes and depth of the objects, but the dots are actually fairly evenly spaced (to my eye at least) and the varying colors and light/dark contrast are used for defining the shapes.

143 I learned that Pointillism is usually done with oil paints, at least the ones in museums. But the choice of the colors, often a bit richer than realism, makes me think of the intensity of soft pastels which are so vibrant.

I'm intrigued by the technique. Paul Signac's Wiki page includes a self portrait done in ink using the Pointillist technique. It is so subtle and detailed it looks like it could be a photo that has been pixilated, if that's the term, in Photoshop.

I'd suggest Karmelo is an extention of the knockout game. They've been doing that for YEARS.

157 48 Pentagon lockdown has been expanded. Half the building is fully locked down, every floor. The courtyard has also been secured.

Still haven't heard or felt anything.

One crazy person or one shooter would lock down one particular place. There are only so many things that can lock down half of the Pentagon from the grass to the sky.

X shows a ton of emergency vehicles here as well.

Rumor is there was a shooting or shooter at or near the facility...but that's from a really sketchy source online. None of the local news folks have picked the story up yet...

Trump just made a MAJOR move — and it could change everything.

He’s adding the SAVE AMERICA ACT into a massive $350 BILLION Pentagon reconciliation package.

Reconciliation.

Which means?
Only a SIMPLE MAJORITY needed to pass. 🔥

179 Carrying over a conversation from the ONT, it occurs to me ask for a reality check. Regarding Jasmine Crockett referring to Dr. Avelda King as 'child', I told Fen that it's not quite as bad as 'boy' but still clear-cut vicious condescension.

But I'm not actually in their culture. My understanding is that ADOS (as opposed to African immigrants) are hyper-sensitive to diminutives, addressing an adult like a child, because they associate it with slavery culture. But for all I know they go around calling each other 'child' all the time. They certainly have a double standard with the n-word, so it wouldn't be unprecedented.

What do you think?

“My son didn’t intend to hurt anyone”: The parents of Karmelo Anthony, the Texas teenager who was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder of a fellow high school athlete, Austin Metcalf, spoke about their son and the trial in an exclusive interview with CBS News. Anthony's attorneys have filed an intent to appeal.
Metcalf’s father called the sentencing bittersweet: “Austin will never walk through that door again.”

So, seeking the 'Restorative Justice'?

Despite its national reputation for a strict, punitive "tough on crime" approach, Texas was actually one of the earliest states to implement state-backed restorative practices, driven largely by conservative efforts to lower recidivism, cut taxpayer costs, and support victims.

Magic mortgages injecting millions of dark money is one route they used. Remortgage an average property with millions wired in from whereever to the property owner who works for ActBlue, dispense all those millions to numerous individual accounts. Hans Wyss, the Wyoming Swiss citizen leftist sugar daddy is also up to his neck in shoveling millions to his ActBlue smurfing accounts. Declare his ass as persona non grata and kick him back to Switzerland with a permanent bar on reentry to the US.

Too many people underestimate Trump's tenacity here including House and Senate members. Remember the whole border wall issue in his first term, McConnell and Ryan just weren't going to close the border. Now, the wall is nearing completion, we have net population decrease due to illegals/etc. leaving, funding for kicking out a bunch more through 2029 regardless of who controls Congress, etc.

Iran would do well to remember this as well. Trump is willing to wheel and deal to get chunks of what he wants while giving some often temporary concessions but he will always come back to grab some more if he really wants something done. Same with renovating DC, he goes around, below, above, etc. obstacles.
