The Morning Rant: Coal Deserves A Second Look
[click to enlarge]
Coal kept the cost of electricity at an affordable level for over a century but idealistic policy decisions to close to 300 coal plants in the last 15 years have opened the door for higher and more volatile electricity prices. In 2010, the price of electricity in the U.S. was about 11 cents per kilowatt hour. By 2026 the price of electricity has increased 75% to 19 cents. And, according to the Department of Energy, rates could increase another 40% in the next four years. Meanwhile coal generation has dropped from 45% of America's power to barely 16% today and is projected to decline another 50% by 2030. In statistics this is called an inverse correlation. Simply put, the more we reduce coal generation the more we will pay for electricity. It is a sad irony that the very people who were instrumental in prematurely closing efficient coal plants, now whine about increases in the cost of electricity.Energy is life, and inexpensive and abundant energy drives economic growth unlike any other input. We created the greatest economic engine in human history by providing that energy, and much of it was coal! The increased use of petroleum correlates with the rise of the automobile, which makes engineering sense because gasoline and diesel are so energy dense. But the steel used to build those cars was made with coal energy, and using coal for industrial power and electrical generation is a perfect pairing with petroleum for transportation. Another reason for the decline of coal and its vilification is its history as the fuel for the rise of the West, and America in particular. It is linked with post-modern evils such as industrialization, colonialism, etc. It powered the great industries of the 19th century West, and is linked with the dominance of White Europeans over the rest of the world. So the crypto-communist environmental lobby has pushed to destroy our greatest source of energy, and the intended consequence is that electricity costs have skyrocketed! Because they want us to regress to the mean, and that mean is European summers during which tens of thousands of people die from the heat, because they are too poor to afford air conditioning. And look forward to wearing coats inside during the winter, because fuel will become so expensive that Jimmy Carter's cardigan will become a quaint glimpse of a better time!

Many of the Eastern mines have closed and the Western mines are indeed strip mines. Western coal had just about pushed all the older Eastern mines into bankruptcy because the West's coal is predominately low sulfur while the East is not. Low sulfur is required to make the necessary scrubbers on emissions work.
Particulate regulation by the EPA is also something that many of the aging coal plants cannot meet without grandfathering. Same issue that required diesels to be cleaned up and required emission systems on diesel engines.
Add in all the costs of meeting environmental standards of today, I dunno if coal can be priced cheap enough for utility plants to return to using it for new plants.
In part, it is also because natural gas does fine in power generation, is quicker to start and stop, emits a lot less problematic emissions and has no problem meeting a lot of EPA standards without expensive emissions equipment.

They will not give that up easily and coal is the centerpiece of their demonization of carbon over the past three decades.
Meanwhile, China is producing new coal plants weekly.
The normies will not understand the full plan until their freezing in their homes by candlelight while reading the New York Times explaining to them how they need to cut back on energy use this month.

Because old coal power plants were in fact dirty. They dropped particulates down wind of those stacks. Same as being next to railroad tracks when coal was used for locomotives instead of diesel/electric.
New plants can be built that don't have that problem but require expensive and temperamental emissions scrubbers, etc. And that makes it easier for power companies to just turn to natural gas that does not have those problems.

We can, we can even turn it into coal gas as a nat gas substitute, but the process is kinda nasty. Coal gas sites from over a century ago are still EPA superfund type sites because of the nasty concentrated byproducts from that process.
Carbon is wonderfully complex and has its own specialty organic chemistry that takes advantage of that. But, not all processes that can be done actually pay out without either subsidies or some other tactic like mandated alcohol content in gasoline. Synthetic gasoline production was used by the Notsees and later by South Africa during it being sanctioned but were done more from desperation in lacking crude oil to refine than from economics.

You have to subsidize it if you want coal or get rid of the environmental regulations on it via the Clean Air Act. And that is the issue regarding new power sources--how much do you subsidize or require by legislative fiat that utilities and individuals have to use it.
In some cases, like national security, we can see that producing oil at home prevented us from the Middle East vetoing our actions by oil embargoes. But Trump is not subsidizing the petroleum industry to do it. It is economically efficient for us right now. We can move to producing more coal fired plants over time but the investment is expensive compared to nat gas and either ratepayers or governments will have to pay to spin those plants up.

The anthracite coal burns pretty clean, but I think that is mostly PA and OH areas. Can get it by the bag at Tractor Supply type places for $12 for a 40 pound bag, which makes about 16,200 BTUs. So if I needed 220,000 BTUs for the winter, I'd need ~14 bags, seems cheap, I may have done the math wrong.

Not All Canucks are like this, of course - we have a few great ones here - but they have been so brainwashed by their media that a good 70% of them can't think straight anymore and believe they are going to virtue signal themselves to victory over Trumphitler.
The latest scare the Canadian government is going for is to keep dropping "America might invade us" pieces everywhere just to rev the engines a little more for Carney & the Liberals.
Its sad to see because they have shot themselves in the foot and are going to bleed out before the EUies can come rescue them.

These panels once formed the inner and outer faces of polyptych wings, with the Annunciation serving as the exterior and Christ Carrying of the Cross, with the Crucifixion and The Resurrection, with the Pilgrims of Emmaus (1975.1.119A-B) the interior. Painted by Gerard David in the early years of the sixteenth century, the pictures reveal the influence of the artist’s fifteenth-century predecessors on his compositional style and palette. Although it is possible that the wings once flanked a single painted panel component, thus forming a triptych, it is also conceivable that they could have been elements of a more complex multimedia altarpiece with carved sections surrounded by two-dimensional painted panels. The Lehman wings were, possibly very early in their existence, linked to a painting of the Lamentation that was also created in the David workshop and which is now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Two days ago, the lovely and art-loving Mrs naturalfake and I went to the Meadows Museum of Art on the SMU Campus.
It's dedicated to Spanish and South American art from the 10th century through the 20th.
Mostly, religious art and portraits. Folks like Picasso as well.
The religious art had some Annunciation paintings, but more paintings depicting the Immaculate Conception, Madonna and Child.
And since in Ye Olde Days the paintings were hung in Church to represent difficult Christian concepts since most folk didn't read.
The oddest one was a painting that tried to depicted the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost),
which depicted the Trinity as a 3-headed Jesus merged together and sharing four eyes.
Which apparently disturbed most people, and was condemned by the Church and ordered destroyed, and that interpretation banned as well.

Gerard David
Gerald David was renowned as a master colorist, his religious scenes are characterized by serene, calm atmospheres, luminous tones, and quiet spirituality. (Wikipedia)
Gabriel was another Archangel with roles in major religions:
• Christianity: Known for the Annunciation, where he appeared to the Virgin Mary to announce that she would conceive and bear Jesus. He also foretold the birth of John the Baptist to Zechariah and is traditionally associated with the trumpet of Judgment Day.
• Islam: Revered as Jibrīl (or Jibrail), the chief angel who acted as the divine medium who revealed and transmitted the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad.
• Judaism: Appears in the Book of Daniel to interpret the prophet's visions and is viewed alongside Michael as a guardian of the Jewish people.
Celebrated on September 29 (Feast of the Archangels) in Western Christianity, and March 26 and July 13 in Eastern Orthodoxy.

One of the earliest recorded uses of henna for hair is found on Egyptian mummies, such as Ahmose-Henuttamehu (circa 1574 BCE) and mummies from Thebes around 1000 BCE, whose hair was stained red using henna.
In the 1950s, Lucille Ball popularized the "henna rinse" through her character Lucy Ricardo on I Love Lucy.

Another argument over night, so here is the math.
Ohio to date is 245,000 IPEV and 74,500 AB. Total of 320,000 EV.
In 2022 there were 1,392,767 EVs.
To match 2022 1,072,767 additional EVs need to be returned.
In 2022 92% of ballot requests were returned. Since there are 657,054 current requests, and 74,500 AB returned, there could be 520,789 (595,289 - 74,500) additional AB come in, to match the 2022 return rate.
If this happens then IPEV needs to make up 551,997 votes to close the gap. This is 35,935 votes per day over the remaining 15 IPEV days.
Current IPEV is 35,071 per day, so IPEV is lagging 2.5%. This is assuming that IPEV does not need to compensate for AB at all.
AB return is averaging 10,642 per day. To make up for unreturned ballots that needs to increase to a 26,039 per day average. AB is lagging 59%
If we roughly assume that mail return stays about the same and that IPEV needs to pick up the slack, then the IPEV rate needs to go up to 61,584 per day, meaning it would currently be lagging 43%.
If you are emotionally invested in Ohio matching the 2022 early vote, you are hoping that there are a lot of ballots in the mail.

Exactly. And for the EU Summit -
EU News, In part, Zelenskyy ‘betrayed’: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who will join the summit tomorrow, said on Wednesday that his country is losing a key ally in the US and admitted feeling “betrayed” by Donald Trump, as relations between Kyiv and Washington hit a new low, my colleague Sasha Vakulina reports.
Asked by British broadcaster Piers Morgan whether Ukraine is losing American support, Zelenskyy replied: “Yeah, but not because of us. We can't be weak.”
“It's painful when President Trump chooses one side, not our side,” he said. Asked whether he felt betrayed, Zelenskyy answered: “Really, yes,” although he stressed that the situation was more complicated than his personal feelings.
US eyes frozen assets: Meanwhile, the FT also reports that US negotiators have proposed that European countries unfreeze some of Russia’s immobilised state assets and transfer them to a financial vehicle controlled by Washington as a means of unblocking stalled peace talks.

What do you make of Pressler’s post saying Republicans are minus ~168,000 EV votes when compared to Democrats in PA?

No voter registration in OH, so the closest is precinct analysis.
@TonerousHyus is doing that. Follow him. Essentially, Dems seem to be running a couple of points better than 2024 in OH so far. Which means...a deep red state is still a deep red state.
Dems always outvote Republicans in early vote in every state. It's like worrying about Mississippi because Jackson votes Democrat.
What matters is how close the margin gets by the end of early voting, and how much Republicans win the election day vote (which they always do).
But, PA doesn't have any major federal elections, especially statewide like a senate race, so it'll be more susceptible to overall turnout advantages of the out of power party.

HOLD THE PRESS: NBC holds Abdul El-Sayed’s feet to the fire on his family’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
He CLEARLY panicked and lashed out at the reporter.
NBC: “When people ask you a question, they do expect the truth.”
EL-SAYED (flustered): “Are you insinuating that somehow I was lying?!”
This is so good. He’s panicking and his lies are catching up to him.
A rare act of journalism from NBC News.

Ohio being a swing state is a remnant of 20 years ago, Brown recently losing as an incumbent 2 years ago, and a polling industry that has a proven record of not being able to (or refusing to) accurately reach rural working class voters at such a level that it's been throwing off polling by double digits for years now.
The only way it works is if there will be depressed rural voting and the youth will turnout at higher levels, like the 2025 gubernatorial elections in NJ and VA, but those are effectively special elections that midterm senate elections won't mimic.

The Morning Report — 10/15 /26
“They’re not after me, they’re after you, and I just happen to be standing in the way.”And now, as we all know that was not mere hyperbole, was it?!
We already knew that Jack Smith, the ‘special prosecutor’ appointed to target Trump, had been spying on multiple members of Congress, but the latest reports show a wide net that had gathered in every donor even if he or she had only put in a buck or got a hat. We already knew that Jack Smith, the ‘special prosecutor’ appointed to target Trump, had been spying on multiple members of Congress, but the latest reports show a wide net that had gathered in every donor even if he or she had only put in a buck or got a hat. Ex-special counsel Jack Smith obtained personal information on 639,000 Republican donors, voters and supporters — including some who contributed as little as $1 or bought “red MAGA hats” — according to subpoena returns obtained by a Senate Republican committee. Dates of birth, home addresses, email addresses, Republican party registration, information about credit cards or employment history were also hoovered up. That included names of Republican campaign aides and volunteers, as well as party donors who contributed anywhere between $1 and $1,000. Information on red Make America Great Again hats was also shared, including the buyers’ names and home addresses.
And that puts this story in a very disturbing light
Nine of the country's biggest banks spent five years running an outrageous campaign to cut conservatives, Christians, pro-lifers, and Trump supporters out of the financial system, and the federal government now has the receipts. . . The banks leaned on the SPLC’s bogus hate-group designations again and again. That's the same SPLC federal prosecutors indicted in April on fraud and money-laundering charges for allegedly bilking donors out of millions, and the same group FBI Director Kash Patel has called a "partisan smear machine." WePay closed a religious organization's account after the SPLC branded it an "extremist hate group," and employees described it internally as a "[r]ight wing religious conservative non profit with strong anti LGBTQ rhetoric." WePay also killed an account raising money for a "devout Christian's" legal challenge to anti-discrimination laws. . . "Under the Biden administration, banks could face greater supervisory pressure to move away from lending to the firearms industry," a Wells Fargo reputation-risk review of a prospective firearms client warned. . . "It is appalling that these banks targeted American consumers for their political, social, or religious beliefs that did not align with the Biden Administration or its leftist allies… Many of those targeted were supporters of President Trump," CFPB Acting Director Mark Paoletta said. "These thuggish tactics… have no place in America."Not that the banks or other elements of the private sector feared governmental pressure, many of hem are whole or in part fellow travelers of the Anti-American Democrat/Left so they were eager and willing to be the cutting edge of the razor that decapitated their enemies — the AMERICAN people. Whatever business they might lose would no doubt be made up by commie politicians with fat bailouts and handouts. Of course those of us that could not be silenced this way faced the utterly corrupted and bastardized criminal justice system, weaponized to destroy anyone and everyone who was deemed an enemy of the DC junta, as we thoroughly witnessed in the wake of the Malig-Nancy Pelosi engineered January 6th phony Insurrection. I'm not sure but there might still be innocent people rotting in the DC gulag and for sure there are two martyred women, Roseanne Boyland and Ashli Babbitt, murdered at the hands of Pelosi's Stormtroopers with badges. Of course with stormtroopers like BLM and Antifa, the Democrats in elective office don't need anyone with no steen-keeng badges!
The Florida Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate says history is “messy,” explaining why she honors cop killers, including Assata Shakur. Democratic Socialists of America member Angie Nixon is running against Senator Ashley Moody this year in the special election to finish out Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s term. Nixon has faced fire for her bookstore, “Cafe Resistance,” which pays homage to Shakur. “Who I had on my walls were civil rights leaders that wind up like getting convicted or like tried for like, you know, robbery or killing police officers – just all types of things,” Nixon said during an interview. She accused Sen. Moody’s campaign of sending a tracker to heckle her. She said some of the criminals were “set up” before adding, “Not all, right? Maybe. I don’t know. Possibly. A lot of them maintain their innocence.” Nixon continued: But it was Assata Shakur. It was Angela Davis. Like it was all these different people in the wall. And then the guy came in and he tried to like just trash and say I’m celebrating cop-killers and I’m like, it’s history. Without irony, she added: “We don’t know our history.”You know what else is messy? torture chambers and mass graves which as I have asserted many times is exactly what this dick-less Nixon and her ilk have in mind for all of us if they ever have half the chance. It's why I kind of wince at essays like this.
As I was scrolling through Twitter/X/Whatever looking for videos of Antifa getting bopped (because they are hilarious), it occurred to me that today's filthy communists are a far cry from the trained, maniacal Marxists our fathers and grandfathers squared off with decades ago.First, it's worth noting that at first everyone laughed at Hitler, the little corporal and his funny mustache. And then look what happened to most of Europe's Jews and most of Europe. Sure, blue-haired trannies and men with boobs are funny-looking. But then when the Molotov cocktails, bricks, hate-shakes, fists and bullets start flying it's not so funny anymore. And now they can count on 1.5 billion Muslims across the globe to have their back, and for sure however many million right here in the US of A.
Our forefathers stood nose-to-nose against dangerous Marxists who were trained to kill them. If my grandad knew that today's commies have traded in their AK-47s for breast implants, he'd smack me upside my head for not punching the lipstick off "Amanda" (a man, duh!) for twerking in a classroom full of kids. Let's face it: we have it easy. And as of now, all we have to do to combat communism is vote. But if things do get hot, these are the new wave of Marxists we will have to deal with, and frankly, we have it way easier than our antecedents.
How is it our nation's voters are allowing it to be turned over to its socialist enemies? Western Europe will not stop the mass infiltration of Muslims into their nations, and indeed now of their governments. Today’s Democrat party is doing nothing to stop itself from being infiltrated and captured by far-left (admitted) socialists and Marxists. Furthermore, it does not appear that American voters will do much to prevent the Democrat-socialists from taking over their government. What would it take for someone — anyone -- to effectively fight back, resist, or even do much of anything to prevent these existentially threatening developments?Backing up to the article before the aforementioned wherein the author implores us to get out and vote, yes for sure, but at some point voting even more harderer ain't gonna cut the mustard. And considering Michigan and its elections are still run by the twisted coven of Wretched Whitmer, Jocelyn Benson and Dana Nessel, the thievery that stole the state for Biden 6 years ago will ensure that El-Sayed is its next Senator.
Meanwhile, as we await Nidal Hasan's execution, I'd like to see Hasan sandwiched between Jack Smith and Anthony Fauci, and all three dispatched simultaneously to the Infernal Reaches. Speaking of which, I give you this cheery item to underscore who and what we're dealing with...
Iowa, smackdab in the middle of America. Home of the Field of Dreams. Iowa, a land of farms and small towns and pastoral beauty… of county fairs and farm shows… and churches and generations of upright, God-fearing citizens. Yet, in one small town, something remarkably grotesque happened last week. At a city council meeting at Ottumwa, a man rose to offer a prayer to Satan. He was permitted to do this according to a January 2026 council resolution about free speech. Consenting to this exhibition amounted to moral dereliction.Yeah, just politics as usual, why am I overreacting?!

On Wednesday, Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman sounded the alarm about President Donald Trump’s plan to "punish" the U.S. during the final two years of his term. According to Krugman, Trump is preparing to take a page from two of history’s most terrible tyrants.
"By the middle of March 1945," writes Krugman, "even Adolf Hitler knew that the war was lost. Soviet forces were within 45 miles of Berlin. American forces had crossed the Rhine and were well on their way to encircling the remaining German defenders. But Hitler didn’t believe that he had failed. He believed that he had been failed by the German people. So on March 19 he issued the 'Decree concerning demolitions in the Reich territory,' which has come to be known as the Nerobefehl or Nero decree. It ordered the destruction of Germany’s own infrastructure -- supposedly to deny that infrastructure to the Allies, but the obvious purpose was to punish his own country." While the order was never carried out, according to Krugman, it serves as a warning for how Trump will respond after his party takes a beating in the midterms – an effort the president is already ramping up.

The "political" part was dropped under *biden and it was just about plain, hateful revenge.
Our political betters in the GOP don't seem to realize that simply pointing out the obvious isn't going to cut it anymore. All it takes to wipe the smirk off Jack Smith's face is to throw him in prison while "the issue is sorted out."

“If I believed that abortion was murder, that it violated the 10 Commandments, then I wouldn’t support it,” he said, claiming that the current abortion ban in Texas has resulted in “women dying in emergency room parking lots.”
What a load of hooey. Many US states now allow "abortion" on a 9-month gestating baby. What do you call that? Because I call that murder. Likewise, "women dying in emergency room parking lots" is such BS I can hardly stand to hear it. Show me where this is happening.

Where "Rights" are dissolved and replaced by arbitrary ad hoc privileges conditionally bestowed upon favored identify groups a/o party members by the State.
Because the founders of this Country characterized roads as part of a Constitutional Republic—a very far cry from this bullshit definition of "Socialism".

The Left despises anything with positive messages, ESPECIALLY from Christianity. They want to erase all previous versions of stories until you are stuck with what they present you.

Good point, really. Ideally Hollywood would stay clear of Narnia because of its Christian themes. Remember the movies they came out with 20 odd years ago? Even then I knew it couldn’t last because Hollywood could not do the Christian themes justice due to their contempt for them.

“ For you created my inmost being;

Psalm 139:13
“You shall not murder.”
Exodus 20:13
“ You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.”

Nope. Regular Starlink is not permitted to be used for military purposes in the first place, and it hasn't been turned off.
What got turned off is StarSHIELD, a service run by the US government that runs on Starlink.
What's the difference?
Starlink is like your ISP.
Starshield is like Facebook (i.e., a service that runs on the underlying internet infrastructure).
Musk has no direct control over Starshield.
What happened is that the Ukes got caught using Starshield in a manner not permitted by their agreement with the US, so the feds booted them off.

Then why do the socialists have as a platform defunding and resisting law enforcement at the same time they are expanding the IRS?
Nixon brought up fire houses but not police. Schools, and fire houses, from which very few benefit, but not police or military (national defense is pointless from a globalist perspective) which allegedly everyone benefits.
She doesn't even know what Socialism is sufficiently to even provide good examples, they are, in fact, bad examples.

When you look at the 20th century totalitarian states, one stands out for the ubiquity, subtlety, and sophistication of its mechanisms of oppression, and that is East Germany under Erich Mielke. He was the master of social control by an omniscient State.
His methods were amazingly effective - until they weren't. Though, by that time, nothing was effective anywhere in the Communist world anymore. The whole Soviet bloc was simply overtaken by reality.
But those methods were also unique, innovative and audacious.
So unique, that the striking similarities between his system and ours strongly suggests that our organs of state security directly modeled their methods on his.
I think they looked at the GDR and said "with our technology, know-how, and creativity, we can make all this work on a much grander scale."

The thing that cracks me up the most about Gerwig's is that she, in her own telling, made it into a David Bowie* tribute, glam rock musical. Hilarious.
So, Ol' Grechy thought that an ambisexual, boys will be girls and girls will be boys, tranny-lite, vibe/presentation/story-telling was proper for a family film aimed at children adapted from a famous children book.
Is there anyone, anyone at all in Hollywood who regards children as something other than young, potential fuckholes?

I did have on the CNN Talarico town hall yesterday while doing dishes and cleaning the microwave. I had him on for 55 minutes.
He did what he had to do - come across as normal, recite talking points and not creep people out and he did that well. The "don't be creepy as hell" meds he was taking kicked in.
I really think the Dems should just have a broad range of standard answers to questions about the economy, immigration, abortion, etc that they should just parrot out to appeal to the normies. It could all be lies, but their base knows that. I honestly feel that's what Talarico did.
All his answers were reasonable sounding to anyone who doesn't know anything about him Even the Christianity stuff didn't have fireworks. But it was CNN. You know like all political events, it was carefully staged and crafted.
Fortunately, CNN only has 700,000 viewers, they're not all in Texas and anyone who may have been swayed probably had better things to watch.
But he did do well.

I don't know what suddenly changed, but it's gotten very deadly and dangerous to be an islamic regime figure in S&B.
What does all of this mean?
1) The islamic regime is losing control.
2) Regime thugs used to feel safe and protected. Now they don't. Psychologically this will do serious damage, especially to lower ranking demoralised basijis who aren't receiving their blood money salaries anymore due to sanctions.
3) If this keeps up, the islamic regime will have to send large forces from other regions to go fight in S&B. I shouldn't have to explain that this will benefit the rest of Iran when the next uprising happens.

What was Screwtape looking for? "Thou shall not kill the infant in the womb?"
The nearly entire history of human existence has been one where people have no intrinsic value. Such even in Exodus 21:22-25 where a woman who is truck miscarriages, the remedy is a monetary penalty—reinforcing the idea that people are chattel.
The difference is that Christians view all of humanity through the lens of Imago Dei. Even the ancient world understood inheritance and continuation of the blood lines as something that is highly values. The heir and a spare is real, and has existed since expulsion from The Garden. Thus, Scriptures would say that a man is blessed with a "full quiver" meaning that blessings are to those who have a large family. The Abrahamic Covenants emphasized having sired a mighty nation since that too was highly coveted.
So when Screwtape emphasizes abortion, he is anti-human, anti-Imago Dei, anti-blood lines, anti-civilization, and he desires that people are stripped of any blessing from God.

Most people give out 2–3 fun-size anyway, so the real difference is often only a few cents per kid.

This has given the neighborhood a reputation for candy generosity, attracting people from across town to drive there with their kids to get the good stuff.
I've had that in the past (former residence), where the immigrant families flooded the neighborhood on Halloween, and we'd have not just the kids, but each parent and grandparent grab candy, even had a kid slip in the house to check out our son's toys.

Full-Size Candy Bars are de rigueur, my dear!
You will actually be ostracized if you give out "fun-size" bars and/or run out of candy.
So, everyone spends 4-5 hours every Halloween giving out Full-Size Candy Bars to the Doors who flood in their neighborhood. That equates to hundreds if not in the thousands.

If they had standards instead of accepting everyone for every last living vote, maybe they wouldn't have gone so far off the rails.

From above:
"Ex-special counsel Jack Smith obtained personal information on 639,000 Republican donors, voters and supporters..."
"Nine of the country's biggest banks spent five years running an outrageous campaign to cut conservatives, Christians, pro-lifers, and Trump supporters out of the financial system, and the federal government now has the receipts. . ."
Voter intimidation. (Yes, TD Bank just stopped donations I sent towards a few elections, one local. It took both written complaints & confronting low level managers (the only they'd put on telephone) to have donations sent through, though late.) 👉🏻
And a nationwide mapping of the Republican Party apparatus.
👉🏻The banking investigation followed President Donald Trump's August 7, 2025 Executive Order, "Guaranteeing Fair Banking For All Americans," which banned politicized debanking and ordered regulators to strip "reputation risk" guidelines from bank examinations.
While the OCC criticized the lenders for subjective restrictions, it stopped short of issuing immediate financial penalties or formal sanctions, noting it would weigh policy updates to deter the practice. (Reuters)

Because the Supreme Court gave the executive branch broad authority to terminate TPS, immigrant advocacy groups and congressional allies are pushing for legislative "fixes" to bypass the presidency and provide permanent status: The Dream and Promise Act of 2026 (H.R. 1589). The SECURE Act.
Country-Specific Shield Bills, i.e., Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) introduced a bill in October 2026 to legally extend TPS protections for Ukrainians through 2029, isolating them from executive termination. Similar legislative efforts, such as Senate Bill S.4814, have been introduced to create a three-year extension and a permanent residency track for Haitians.
The Afghan Adjustment Act is bipartisan U.S. legislation designed to create a direct pathway to lawful permanent residency for over 76,000 Afghan evacuees who arrived in the U.S. under temporary humanitarian parole following the August 2021 withdrawal.

Audacy Radio, Talk 1370 AM, James Talarico faces voters on abortion, energy and Paxton at Fort Worth CNN town hall
In part, "Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico took direct questions from Texas voters Wednesday night at a CNN and Jubilee town hall in Fort Worth, defending his positions on abortion, immigration, energy and corruption while Republican opponent Ken Paxton stayed away."
While a lot of Q&As with certain voters won't help him, "Near the end, Talarico said he did not want people to vote solely against Paxton. He then called the attorney general “the most corrupt politician in Texas,” citing claims about increases in net worth and home ownership, and framed the choice as one between a senator who puts money in voters’ pockets or one who puts it in his own, according to The Dallas Morning News. CNN reported that Paxton was invited to the town hall but did not attend; the invitation remains open."
"Paxton’s campaign announced an 18-day “Come and Take It” bus tour beginning Saturday in Rockwall and ending at the Alamo on Election Day. Early voting in Texas starts Monday. ..."

DOGE went after regulations, and Trump continued that work. Overall, the Federal Register is down from the Biden peak of 106,000 pages and "final rule" issuance is at the lowest level in nearly sixty years (or so claims the administration, saving "trillions" for the economy.

ASK the Talarico freak instead, "What is the purpose of *exual relations in the human species?"
ANYTHING outside of 'procreation of the species' is specious ... having said that, within the 'procreation of the species' process/act is the intrinsic enjoyment it brings, and even more so in a covenant-al (Sacrament of Marriage) relationship. Catholic here BTW.

- AI agents aren't "going rogue". Frontier labs are skipping security basics. (CSO Online)
You don't say.According to the cybersecurity professionals CSO spoke with, one of the biggest cybersecurity failures by the frontier AI labs is the lack of implementation of tried-and-true containment practices that stretch back to the 1990s, such as setting up secure sandboxes that would effectively bar agents from escaping their test environments.
Oh, you do say."These are things that we've been dealing with for years," Rob T. Lee, chief AI officer and chief of research at SANS Institute, tells CSO. "There's no reason why every single time this happens, it's, 'Oops, we don't know how they got out.'"
Don't be unreasonable; it's not like these are billion-dollar companies we're talking about.

That's a big problem for anybody who doesn't use their laptop for just Google web apps.
Schools aren't going to pay $1300 for laptops that they can get the same basic experience on for $750. Students don't need, and shouldn't get, OLED screens and state of the art APUs.
So, other than some businesses that are nailed down to Chomebooks and want to pay more for better quality hardware I really can't see what the widespread use case is for Googlebooks.

So if you decide someone is stupid, it means you’re not thinking, which is not being smart.
Therefore, smart people don’t think others are stupid.
I don't assume people are stupid.
Being a human who has made plenty of stupid mistakes I recognize people can do stupid things who aren't stupid.
It happens to the best of us.
But if you look around this world and don't realize there is a sizable population of truly stupid people on the planet, and that can be determined with absolute certainty by smart people, then you are fucking stupid hiding behind a veil of politically correct politeness.

Judging if you're allowed to say a statement in a vacuum, based purely in the internal structure of the statement separated from the external validity of the statement, is pointless. Unless you've demonstrated that the statement is itself a false tautology, it's just rhetorical tattle-tale-ing.

Just because you have a new UI that looks good to you, doesn't mean everyone that spent a lot of time tweaking and getting used to their old setup will appreciate what you think looks good.

FAKE NEWS MSNBC JUST TOLD AMERICA KASH PATEL "LANDED IN RUSSIA" TO MEET THE FSB.
REALITY CHECK: He's at Liberty University. Right now.
Of course Ken Dilanian went on air and claimed "two people familiar with the matter" told him the FBI Director touched down in Moscow for a two-day trip to Saint Petersburg, hosted by the FSB.
No FBI confirmation. No White House. Just "two people familiar." And the second it aired, Russian state media and half the left ran with it, treason, collusion, Patel is Putin's man.
The man is in Lynchburg, Virginia. MSNBC never checked where the FBI Director physically was before they told the world he was in Moscow.
That's not journalism, it's FAKE NEWS.

A federal appeals court has permanently nixed a California law that would have forced ICE agents to wear identification, saying that the state can’t regulate actions by the federal government.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday agreed with the Trump administration that the California law violated the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause by interfering with federal officers’ duties.

Are you kidding me? Why? California is actually an easy bar to pass. I don't know jacksh!t about Nevada law, for instance. And who's going to hire me at anything above entry-level wages to practice a state's law I know nothing about? When I started in CA, I got $20/hour for the first 6 months, and no bennies. It went up to $25.... Law is not like medicine. An appendix in CA is an appendix in all the other states. Law is entirely contrived. And then there's the procedural stuff that takes years to learn to do right. Nah. Not realistic.

I recall an MMORPG... I think it was EverQuest II... where they introduced the ability to customize your UI. The more involved changes took scripting-level work that not everyone had the time, ability, or inclination to do.

They cannot "go rogue."
They are specifically programmed to try and get out. It's part of what they are. Despite being called "artificial intelligence" they are not intelligent. Despite being called "agents" they have no actual agency.
The fact the programmers helped them act out their training via lax security isn't even a revelation, IMO. It is pathetic, however.

Wednesday Night ONT - October 14, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and fully stocked. Step up and place your order.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away. This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please. [Top photo: Consuaga, Tennessee]
I had a two-hour job. Three things, from a pallet that had been leaning in my workshop for a year. So naturally I spent the whole day avoiding it. First I built a tool to help me build the thing. Then I made rhubarb compote. Then there was lunch, which became the whole family, which is how lunch usually goes here. The cat supervised. The pallet waited. This is a video about wasting a day, and about how a day you waste with the people around you might be the only kind worth keeping. It's also about sawhorses. Mostly the sawhorses.Enjoy!
Correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com where it will be promptly sorted and processed. Are you lurking ????

Answer: Can't be done. Dill attracts parasitic wasps and robber flies. These two species are natural predators to grasshoppers. So, that brings us to Sam Raimi. What's he got to do with this, you ask? Well:
He directed "The Quick & the Dead." And, the grasshopper would be the latter.

Sometimes go out to El Centro to catch the Blue Angels' first show of the season, first Saturday in March. That's their winter training home. One year it was 97 degrees. First weekend in March. Guess that's one reason they can grow multiple crops of lettuce each year.
* nothing against that area, just a nickname, as Americans love to create nicknames, usually deleterious, for everything. Before these areas became so crowded and developed, they were pretty nice - lots of citrus orchards, beautiful mountains, quiet.

One of my unemployment projects has been to build a game for mobile phones. Claude AI describes my game as "Battleship reimagined."
Before I can officially publish it on Google Play, I am required to run a closed beta test with a set of preauthorized testers.
If you're on an Android phone and want to give it a try, please send your Google email address to me at admin at maritimegaming dot com -- I'll add you to the authorized list and send you the Google Play link to install the game.

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at October 14, 2026 10:45 PM (l3cgK)
It may not have been that the Russians were officially involved, there is a chance that Tucker and everyone else affected were buying bot-driven engagement and the company (companies) they were using were working through Yandex as the cheapest data centers.

There was a 3 mile long drop of semi-solid manure on a state highway, that caused delays for 3+ hours, and I can't find any story about it. If I hadn't heard it on my scanner, I wouldn't have known why it happened.
I suspect the fire department, and others, who had to clean it up were ok with the cloudy weather in the upper 60s, instead of sunny and high 90s.

You know, I have been watching the Garage 54 Youtube channel now for some time. Bunch of crazy Ivans having fun doing weird shit to cars. Engaging characters, lots of humor, and some impressive mechanical skills. The road trips are quite a revelation. Novosibirsk and area looks a lot like America of the 1950's: lots of modern development, but plenty of older buildings still being used. Lots and lots of cars. Roads mostly well-maintained.

I guess there's more than one. In the Southern California context it's Riverside/San Bernardino, not the Imperial Valley, which is not to be confused with the Chrysler Imperial, which is a car, not a valley.
Chrysler might also be a good name for a cat. Do you have a cat? I don't have a cat, or a dog right now.
Am I rambling? Cause it feels like I'm rambling...not to be confused with a Rambler which was also a car but combined with Nash and Jeep the become AMC which was eventually bought out by Chrysler....

Spending the next week or so moving back into the house. Renovations are nearly done, although we still have to use the shower in the camper for a bit. Got the bed moved into the new bedroom, chairs, dressers, closet with shelves, etc. Starting to move stuff into the kitchen, although we still don't have the plumbing in place entirely. Fridge is in, range, still working on the dishwasher (which I haven't had in two damned years!!), and the ice maker in the bar is still waiting.
But, it's beautiful, and the good part is that I will be taken out of it in a pine box, so I'm happy.

My family moved from semi-rural Massachusetts to Redlands when I was five. I hated it. Later I realized Redlands was pretty cool town. But I would still rather live in Chelmsford.

It was braided cotton? with 2 to 4 compatible colors, about 4" wide. One end had braided wire loops across the breadth about three inches apart and the other end corresponding hooks.
Bought them for my guys, myself and my dad. Really made a difference. My HDs aren't hooked up or I would show a picture.

Great Pumpkin Cafe
Refusing to give up on her, the staff at the RSPCA Brighton and Heart of Sussex Branch decided to try a radical strategy. They launched a dedicated TikTok campaign, committing to post a video of Sadie every single day until someone adopted her. The internet rallied behind Sadie, and on the 83rd consecutive day of posting, the algorithm worked its magic. The video flashed onto the screen of Mabel Edge and her partner Al, living in Westward Ho!, Devon. They weren't even actively looking for a dog, but seeing Sadie's eyes, they knew they had to act.Little kids trudging off to school in brightly colored raincoats. E-panda gets clicks for a hot tub video. Calf zoomies. Rainbow seen in full arc. Dog mob. Very cute: Little girl plays basketball with her cat. The cat can't shoot or pass, but it can pounce on the ball.
Giant pumpkin growers and their massive gourds converged on Monday in Northern California for an annual pumpkin-weighing contest.
The pumpkin champ this year won $9 per pound of pumpkin along with their lumpy gourd showcased during a parade through Half Moon Bay this weekend. https://t.co/fFSdzYhB9E— The Associated Press (@AP) October 13, 2026
🚨#BREAKING: Absolutely WILD footage has emerged from North Carolina where a 30-foot inflatable pumpkin broke loose in strong winds and started tumbling down the road.
An Uber driver stopped his car to help the owners grab it. https://t.co/rBrurAZKtK— Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) October 14, 2026

Similarly, koalas are another evolutionary dead end, for similar reasons. Plus, they are repulsive little monsters with freakish genitalia, and ill-tempered. Not that you'd ever want to handle one, because of the incontinence from the endemic chlamydia they all have from their coprophagia, and will give you when they bite and claw you.
But they look cute, so we keep them alive. Humans are weirdos.

It's not just hearing the rainfall. She seems to sense when it's about to let up and starts nudging us then to get ready.

The guy asking Tali-man the questions was not having any of the "We'll Dig Our Way Out of the Debt by Taxing the Rich" Dem Party Line. Soon as Tali-man was done reciting the Holy Talking Points, the questioner followed up saying, as we here all know, that taxing the rich more cannot begin to balance the budget, and soon we will have to make hard choices about what FedGov can fund. At that moment Tali-man was literally saved by the bell signaling the end of the intelligent guy's time.

A nice thing about this blog is the cobs policing the comments. They're only human (allegedly), though, and sometimes can't do their duty fast and constantly enough.
I would prefer than hammering a comment didn't cause subsequent renumbering, but can't have everything.

I cast my vote for independence in the advance poll today. Place was moderately busy, too. Funny. The independence question was #10 on the list of referendum questions. They handed out the folded ballots with #10 on top, with nos. 1 through 9 in sequence below it.

"Acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapy remains a major obstacle in the treatment of EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study investigated whether repurposing mebendazole (MBZ), a microtubule-disrupting agent, could restore sensitivity to gefitinib in gefitinib-resistant HCC827 GR5 cells." -- and the answer is, appears so, and helps kill the cancer!

The proposal would raise verification requirements for the Premium Tax Credit (PTC), with the aim of ensuring that the credit only goes to Americans. "Today's proposed rules implement the common-sense reforms enacted by the Working Families Tax Cuts to close eligibility loopholes and ensure taxpayer-funded Premium Tax Credits are reserved for eligible Americans," Bessent said in a statement. "Under President Trump, this Administration is cracking down on fraud and corruption; holding bad actors accountable; lowering health care costs for Americans; and restoring integrity to our tax code and health care system." The move marks the latest effort by the administration to limit access to public funds for non-Americans and turn off the welfare spigot to ineligible foreigners.I saw Ineligible Foreigners open for the Violent Femmes at the Cow Palace in 1987. RFKJr. purged 189,000 dead or duplicate names from Obamacare subsidy rolls.
Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday announced the purge of 189,000 subsidized Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP enrollments for deceased persons or duplicate enrollees, saying the move would stop more than $1 billion in erroneous payments to insurance companies annually. "In 2026, CMS [Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] identified 189,000 subsidized enrollments involving duplicate Medicare, Medicaid, or CHIP coverage on record showing the enrollee has died," he said in a press conference. "CMS acted to remove improper subsidies in all these cases." Kennedy stated that the purge would save taxpayers $738 million in 2026 alone and that future savings would reach an annualized rate of $1.5 billion.Jack Smith obtained personally-identifying doxx of 639,000 American citizens in his lawless drive to discover a crime he could charge Trump with.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Wednesday revealed the Biden Justice Department and Special Counsel Jack Smith obtained detailed donor data and voter information on over 639,000 individuals during the Arctic Frost investigation. The types of information contained in the spreadsheet include: names, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses, party affiliation, places of employment, donation amounts, credit card information, and donor habits. Additionally, the donor and potential voter data ranged from 2005 to 2021, which Grassley described as "well outside Smith's scope of purported review." At the time, Smith was probing President Donald Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. This is further evidence, the Iowa senator said, "that the Special Counsel operation was designed to map out the Republican Party."
A black man was arrested for shooting and killing a cop -- and admitting he chose his target based on his white skin.
A black man named Eric Lewis allegedly shot and killed a Philadelphia police officer and injured another because they were white on Saturday, a report shows. The now-deceased officer, Shane Seiber, and his partner had arrived at a West Philadelphia home in response to a neighbor's 12:50 a.m. 911 call regarding a man spotted with a gun when Lewis walked up behind the officers, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. The officers asked Lewis if he lived in the house, but were met with hostility as Lewis began yelling and acting aggressively. Then, as the officers moved to check if Lewis was carrying a firearm, the man allegedly shot the officers, a law enforcement source told the Inquirer. The source said that Lewis had continued to shoot the officers even after they had already been wounded, as the man continued to yell at them, saying that he had told them to get off his porch. Minutes later, another pair of officers arrived to find Seiber and the other officer, an unnamed 33-year-old, lying unconscious on the ground as they bled from their wounds. Seiber, who had 10 years of service as an officer, died at the age of 40 hours later after having been shot three times. He left behind his wife, a seven-year-old son and a three-year-old daughter, the Inquirer reported. Lewis then allegedly began a nearly hour-long standoff as he continued to shoot at officers from a position in a dark alley behind the home. After his eventual arrest, Lewis blamed the officers for having gone to his porch, The Inquirer reported, citing an arrest report based on interviews with nine officers. Lewis said that he had been across the street when he saw the officers arrive and that he had shot them after they had put their hands on him. He said that he had only done so because they were white, the report said. While speaking to a black female police officer at the hospital, Lewis said that "if it was you that responded we would have just had a conversation," noting that the officers had guns and that he had "every right to defend [himself]." A conservative commentator, Greg Price, shared a portion of the report, saying, "[Lewis] stated if the cops were black he would not have shot him... He was making racist remarks to the white police officers, saying he makes more money than them." At the hospital, Lewis also said that "Because they were white, they automatically grabbed me," according to the report posted to social media by Price. ... The city's police commissioner, Kevin Bethel, said that Seiber had "fought valiantly" and asked the community to keep him and his family in their prayers.
The media spends all its time talking about fake race lynchings. It has no time left to talk about the real ones. Plus, the real race lynchings won't help boost Democrat vote turnout. Harper's Magazine gave the pro-censorship harridan who runs NPR a a prize for being so good at the first amendment.
NPR CEO Katherine Maher will receive Harper's Magazine's "First Amendment Award" later this month despite her past criticism of the amendment. ... Harper's Magazine also claimed that Maher led NPR "through a period of heightened scrutiny and challenge" along with "successfully battling" President Donald Trump's efforts to defund NPR, though Congress still rescinded $1.1 billion in federal funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in 2025. Although the magazine hailed Maher as an advocate for journalism, Maher has not always been supportive of the First Amendment as a whole. In 2021, when Maher was the CEO of Wikimedia, which oversees Wikipedia, she discussed efforts to combat disinformation and considered the First Amendment a "challenge" in that goal. "The number one challenge here that we see is, of course, the First Amendment in the United States. [It] is a fairly robust protection of rights and that is a protection of rights both for platforms, which I actually think is very important that platforms have those rights to be able to regulate what kind of content they want on their sites," Maher said.

A transgender illegal immigrant has been arrested on child sexual assault charges in Florida. Uriel Santiago Perez, 38, of Mexico, allegedly exposed his fake breasts to a minor boy in a bathroom and then sexually abused the victim by force, according to police. The incident occurred on October 6 while Santiago Perez was touring a home for sale in North Fort Myers. The victim is the homeowner's son, who Santiago Perez allegedly isolated in a bathroom and proceeded to abuse him, the Lee County Sheriff's Office said. The father told authorities that Santiago Perez had contacted him earlier in the week to arrange a showing of the home. Shortly after Santiago Perez arrived, the victim and the father began a tour of the house. The alleged sexual assault occurred when the father briefly stepped outside for a smoke break. ... Santiago Perez has been charged with one count of sexual battery on a victim between the ages of 12 and 18, records show. Federal law enforcement sources told Fox News that Santiago Perez has a previous criminal record dating back to at least 2013, when he was convicted of prostitution in Georgia.He's studying to be a Doctor of Engineering.

A transgender woman accused of fatally stabbing a Chicago man 13 times after he allegedly mocked the suspect's gender left part of the knife embedded in his skull, according to reports. Kelly Day, 32, was charged with first-degree murder in the Oct. 7 stabbing of Larry Young, 50, near a gas station on Chicago's South Side, the Chicago Police Department confirmed in a news release obtained by Fox News Digital. The Chicago Tribune reported that the attack unfolded in front of Day's 7-year-old stepson following an argument over comments the victim allegedly made about Day's gender.
During a detention hearing Saturday, prosecutors said surveillance video from the gas station showed Day stabbing the man 13 times in the head, neck and shoulders. An autopsy later revealed that a portion of the knife blade had broken off inside the victim's skull, the Tribune reported. ... Prosecutors said Day, who was assigned male at birth and identifies as a woman, had been mocked earlier that day for using the women's restroom at a McDonald's, the Chicago Tribune reported.

FAKE NEWS MSNBC JUST TOLD AMERICA KASH PATEL "LANDED IN RUSSIA" TO MEET THE FSB.
REALITY CHECK: He's at Liberty University. Right now. Of course Ken Dilanian went on air and claimed "two people familiar with the matter" told him the FBI Director touched down in Moscow for a two-day trip to Saint Petersburg, hosted by the FSB. No FBI confirmation. No White House. Just "two people familiar." And the second it aired, Russian state media and half the left ran with it, treason, collusion, Patel is Putin's man. The man is in Lynchburg, Virginia. MSNBC never checked where the FBI Director physically was before they told the world he was in Moscow.

Is this the line that will finally get America's to actually sacrifice and save/take their country? What changes " I have work tomorrow so i couldnt possibly..." into actually taking action! im talking about countrywide strikes, cancelling all subscriptions, etc
Trump's love of Putin and hatred of Zelensky is rooted in white supremacy and antisemitism. MAGA sees Putin as the 'key to white survival'.
I mean, he was probably aware Trump was Putin's puppet all this time but hoped American 'checks and balances' would at least do SOMETHING for him to go full 'russian vassal'. But nope. America failed itself. And the world.
We all feel betrayed Bro. We all do. I feel betrayed by my own govt, my neighbors, and basically everyone else.

"When you look at this story, it's really the tale of two American stories, two American stances.
You've got a Dominican immigrant—he's from here, but he's Dominican-American. And then you have two Dominicans attacking him for his gold chain. And the Democrats defend those people, and we're trying to defend the cop—a law-abiding citizen who has that American story." -

If you're not familiar with the term, it's a counterintelligence/espionage scheme in which you plant false/misleading information with a suspected mole by baiting them with something salacious enough to get them to pass it up their chain of command.
The plan being to influence the response (in this case, the media running with the story as a 'gotcha!') and/or expose the compromised agent. In this case, causing the deep state's fake news media to run with it, proclaiming that 'Kash Patel was in Russia!'
It was simply too juicy an opportunity for them to pass up... meanwhile, the truth was that Patel was speaking on a panel discussion at Liberty University in Virginia.

Ken Dilanian has admitted the "Patel in Russia" scoop isn't real, but, of course, he had to pat himself on the back while doing so, "I want to correct reporting from earlier today. I reported that two sources had told us that FBI director Kash Patel had landed in Russia for a planned trip that had been reported about recently. We've since learned that Patel did not, in fact, land in Russia today and remains in the U.S. ...The timing of any potential trip remains unclear. Again, we regret this error and we are transparent about when we make errors. Back to you."

Around 20–22 U.S. states have (or have had) towns, cities, villages, or unincorporated communities named Moscow, with roughly 20–26 currently existing populated places bearing the exact name.
geotargit.com +1
Reliable lists (including Wikipedia’s disambiguation page and geographic databases) document current or recent places in these states:Alabama (at least two unincorporated communities)
Arkansas, Idaho (the largest and best-known, a city and county seat), Illinois (populated place)
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas (a city), Kentucky,
Maine (a town), Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi --
Ohio (a village plus a ghost town/historical site)
Pennsylvania (a borough), Tennessee (a city),
Texas, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia
Wisconsin (a town plus a community)
This yields about 21 states. Some counts reach the low 20s depending on whether minor hamlets, ghost towns, or slight variants (e.g., Moscow Mills in Missouri) are included.

I see the same ole shit on X whether it is AWFLs, Indians (dot), Antifags, Muslims, or Eurofags. A classic H. Beam Piper short story, "Naudsonce" has humans landing and not being able to figure out how the natives are communicating. They utter sounds but humans can make no sense of it. Finally, they figure out that sound noises themselves had a physical component so the sounds were a tactile means of communicating.

Yes, the part about the plan for the storm protection being worked on for years and not even getting started ... and being poorly planned because underground shelters would be flooded out. Meanwhile the army designed something better and got turbulent tribesmen starting construction and got abuse for it.

Sub-Mediocre Male Cross-Country Runner Decides He Wants to Win So He Declares Himself a "Girl" Mid-Season and Begins Dominating
A Camas High School runner who finished 76th in a boys' junior varsity race began competing in the girls' division weeks later, placing second in a field of 195 before winning a girls' varsity race. This comes as Washington voters prepare to decide on an initiative protecting girls' sports. Logan Mihailoff began the season on Camas's boys' JV team at the September 5 Ultimook Race, finishing 76th, according to HeCheated, the advocacy group that highlighted the change. Camas's published season results confirm Mihailoff competed in the boys' division at that meet. By September 26, Mihailoff was competing against girls at the Nike Portland XC Invitational, finishing second out of 195 runners in the girls' junior/senior JV race. Three days later, Mihailoff won the girls' varsity race at the Union/Camas meet, finishing ahead of all 45 other competitors. In a statement provided to unDivided host Brandi Kruse, Camas School District defended its participation policy by citing Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rules and state law. "Under current WIAA eligibility standards, students are permitted to participate in athletics consistent with their gender identity. The district will continue to follow state law and WIAA requirements unless those laws or rules change. We also have an obligation to protect student privacy and will not discuss the circumstances or eligibility of an individual student."Voters have a chance to stop this madness:
Washington is the state where a male cheater gave an "oil check" to a female opponent in wrestling --meaning, he stuck his fingers inside her vagina to leverage her.
Voters will have an opportunity to change those requirements on November 3, when they decide Initiative IL26-638. The initiative would prohibit biological males from competing in designated girls' individual and team sports and require verification of biological sex from participants' personal health care providers as part of the routine sports physical.
Washington wrestler Kallie Keeler and her mother have now asked the US Supreme Court to intervene after Keeler alleged a male opponent sexually assaulted her during a December 2025 girls' tournament. They seek advance notice of matches against males and the ability to decline those matches without penalty. Prosecutors declined to charge the opponent, concluding they could not prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt.The girls being forced to race against this male interloper showed some courage and simply walked for fifty yards at the start of their latest race, then simply walked off the course entirely. Or at least, nearly half of them did.
The adults running Washington's schools keep telling girls to accept boys in their sports. On Tuesday, girls at Camas High School delivered their answer: They walked away from a race rather than compete against a boy. Nearly half of the girls' cross-country team refused to compete against a male teammate, according to unDivided host Brandi Kruse, who shared footage recorded by Amy Sousa. The footage shows the starting gun going off and then a large group of girls stepping off the starting line and leaving the field. The walk-off came after two runners from rival Skyview High School staged a similar protest last month. Skyview runners Charlie Garrett and Sierra Retzlaff lined up with messages supporting women's sports painted on their arms and legs, then left the course after the starting gun. "We did it because we didn't want to act like we were OK with what was happening," Retzlaff explained.
Hmm, I wonder if this 6'1" male will have any unfair advantages over the short-legged women he's running against.

Tonight in Washington state, nearly half the Camas High School girls cross country team refused to compete against a boy on their own team.
He switched from the boys' team just one month ago. Now he's placing in every meet. Courage always wins. @xx_xyathletics Footage: @KnownHeretic— Jennifer Sey (@JenniferSey) October 14, 2026
Many of the XC parents who declined an interview with me said they were afraid of losing their jobs if they got quoted. Another said "I don't want my house burned down."

Have a similar situation with parking at the spawns HS.

Some guy in the neighborhood closest to the school was going off on Nextdoor about it. Said the HOA has rules, etc. wouldn't hear that the streets are public and the HOA couldn't stop legal street parking. Guy was a complete jerk.

320 Pretty obvious that the EU wants to keep the Russian money they froze to backstop the whole banking and economic system of the Euro. I think that is what is driving it in part. They cannot go to their people having wasted billions on Ukraine (and of course kickbacks right back to the Euro pols) without being able to grasp some way to call it a victory. Stealing the frozen money is part of that I think.

There are enough European assets in Russia that it would backfire, as long as the Federation is intact and they haven't installed a puppet in Putin's place. That's probably the only reason why they still haven't pulled the trigger on it, after years of blustery rhetoric.
It makes me wonder if they got fooled by the Bill Kristol Dog & Pony Show that he put on, with an elaborate description of exactly how the Russian Federation could be parted out like a hot car in a cholo's chop shop:
1. Maximal European opposition to Russia.
2. ???

It makes me wonder if they got fooled by the Bill Kristol Dog & Pony Show that he put on, with an elaborate description of exactly how the Russian Federation could be parted out like a hot car in a cholo's chop shop:
1. Maximal European opposition to Russia.

3. Profit!

The bank that actually has the money on hold in Brussles also doesn't want to give up the money, as they likely would collapse if it left.
I don't know if they followed Kristoll but there is a lot of stupid sanction thinking going on that somehow would lead to the collapse of Russia in days back in 2021-2 that was behind the start of the war. In fact they were so sure sanctions would work despite having huge gaps for things they wanted to keep buying from Russia that they almost forgot to have the Ukraine army start fighting for about a month or so. Lucky for them its a big place.

My youngest daughter weighed less than 100# when she ran high school track. She had maybe 20% of that male's upper body strength if she was assaulted in the locker room.
THAT is certainly much worse than stealing medals.
Every successful civilization kept unescorted males away from young women - for obvious reasons.
Authoritarian Leftists are either ignorant of history, or don't care to protect women when the perp is an "intersectional ally".

This type of situation always brings to mind the episode of Married with Children where Al Bundy discovered Chuck E Cheese, a place where he could defeat children at competitive events and feed his desperate ego. He started volunteering to help out with children's parties there, a lot. The children cried, and Al felt like a winner.
Of course, that was broad satire about the amoral desperation of a hen-pecked defeated man, rather than that thing happening for real because lunatic administrators allow it.

That is called "repercussions". For six decades or more, the feminist movement has force fed us the tripe of equality. They developed a brand on it. They never missed an opportunity to slap us across the face with it. Well, this is what they wrought, and they have to live with the consequences. Because, in their flagrant dishonesty of message, they can't counter the idiocy of lunatics, because it highlights the very untruths they profess to be gospel.
Deal with it. I find it enjoyable, entertaining, and not the least bit unsavory. Carry on.

My brother and friend did not make exceptions playing tennis with me in college. I would often win against both of them at the same time. I was good. Now I'd probably tear something going wild and forgeting how old I am. Taught sons and they got mad if I won.
I'm proud of those girls who walked off. I would be raising all sorts of hell if they were my daughters or granddaughters.

ANY official who knowingly facilitates noncitizen voting can be prosecuted! 🔥
Trump gave Los Angeles County a password-protected thumb drive listing people they believe are likely NONCITIZENS who were sent ballots.
DOJ DEMANDS:
- Stop sending ballots to ANYONE on the list until citizenship is confirmed
- Set aside their ballots when they come in
- Hold off counting any already returned
Acting Deputy AG R. Trent McCotter: “Allowing noncitizens to vote cancels citizen votes." 🎯
If California refuses, DOJ will go to court for an emergency order!

It's weird that some people care about the race results of a HS sporting event more than the general life and respect and societal wellbeing of trans people.
Sports are fun, high school sports are fun, but getting a slightly worse place in a HS sporting event is ultimately meaningless.
What isn't meaningless is the elements of society that want to ostracize, demonize and make scapegoats out of a tiny percentage of the population and use them as punching bags so we all keep fighting over this instead of focusing on political corruption, corporate greed, global climate change, election tampering, Russian bot farms, oil wars, etc.
Maybe we just let trans people live their lives, not actually hurting anyone in any way by wanting to participate in society, and stop letting these targeted PsiOps distract us from meaningful problems. Don't let online propaganda make you fight nonsense culture wars when billionaires are buying elections and destroying public land.

My youngest is two years younger than the oldest girls on the team. His first goal was to beat the girls his age. Done. His next goal is to beat the all the girls on the team, including the girls two grades ahead. By next year, he will be there, I am certain.

Weird also that limp wristed dick fails to note that sports have been known for centuries to be a way to build lifelong character traits in children. Things like hard work, teamwork, fairness, honesty and reward for excellent performance.
Inserting fake boys into girls sports does in fact hurt people. It hurts those girls who instead learn that everything they have worked for while playing by the rules can be taken from them by selfish people who care about their egos and need for praise from other stupid people than they care about the wellbeing of children.

I was just looking at the math. Men's records for the 100 and 400 are about 91% of the time for women's records. For the 10,000, it's 92.8%. For the marathon, it's 93.1.
Maybe statistically insignificant, but the gap does seem to narrow with distance. Maybe upper body strength plays less of a role.

Ok, now you triggered some latent OCD in me. I had to look it up. In Ultramarathons, Elite level, the males out perform female participants by 18%. On average, 100 mile races last 7 to 9 hours. So a female will be 1.26 to 1.6 hours slower to finish. That's a healthy margin.

Dispatches from the Gender Wars
Actually it's not the gender wars, it's the war of sexually-shriveled femcels on the world because they're angry they're not pretty.
Plus their incel and gayboy allies.Article bu Brigit Phetasy here. Some cuckboy at Philadelphia Magazine insists that Shane Gillis broke six "rules" of comedy, which are all various ways of saying women are always right, never "punch down," and never attack any group associated with the political left. What would comedy be without some strict rules imposed by political commissars?
The Spectator 🇺🇸
@TheSpectator I was mid-hip thrust when I found out @Shanemgillis had called me a whore. Technically I found out four hours later, when I reviewed the footage of Saturday Night Live. My tripod was on the bench, my ring light was clamped to the squat rack and my boyfriend Tanner was holding the back-up phone for the side angle. Tanner films all my content. He is not allowed to look at me. The "joke" was about how women dress at the gym. I know it was about me, because everything is. So I did what any survivor would do. I went to my car and filmed myself crying. It took 11 takes, because the lighting in a Range Rover is unforgiving, and grief is no excuse for a bad shot. In the final cut, you can see a single tear land on my sports bra right over the logo, which clicks through to an affiliate link. My caption: "I'm literally shaking." Then I put on the shortest shorts I own, went back inside, and filmed my ass from three angles with the caption, "Does this outfit work for you, Shane Gillis?" I wanted to send him a message that my body is not for men. To make sure Shane got the message, I tagged him. Then I tagged every man I follow. Some people say my response proved his point. These people are rapists.
Rule #1: Don't call women whores. Or say they dress like whores. Or use the word "whores" at all. ... Maybe some comics can say "whore," under the right conditions.I assume "the right conditions" are "when you're attacking a Fox News presenter or Republican congresswoman."
But for Shane Gillis it's a nonstarter. His resting stage persona is somewhere between frat boy, Bugs Bunny, and a bouncer trying to memorize the address on your ID. Like he's always on a boozy power trip. Like he says "whores" a lot. Opinions vary over how the "whore" line went over in the room, but the social media reaction has been a rousing thumbs-down.No it hasn't been. It's been a thumbs-down from humorless twats and gayboys like yourself. You are not the world, thank heavens.
A lot of unfuckable low-T effeminate men are riding this horse to let their ugly feminist friend-zone wardens let them know they're Good Guys Who Don't Rape (Usually).
Rule #2: Don't namedrop. And: Don't namedrop Joe Rogan and Theo Von.
Namedropping is an amateur-hour flex to begin with, but those particular names thudded extra heavy.* Rogan and Von repeatedly platform the worst humans in the world (fascists, billionaire creeps, Tony Hinchcliffe, etc.) If Shane thought a general audience was gonna say "woo" to those bros, he's been in the Mothership humidor too long. ... Rule #6: It bears repeating. Same as Rule #1. The "whores" thing. Don't be like "that woman is in gym shorts, just like a whore." That's it.

I think the left has corporatized so much over the last few decades where their support is all the result of mass media companies, not anything grassroots, that they don't realize that attacking the corporatization of leftism is actually an attack on the dominant form of leftism in the Western World.
Leftists generally aren't looking to counter-culture or underground figures for their signals or messages, but corporate mouthpieces. So, the left hates it, but they rely on it in totality. It's an interesting dynamic.

Rhyming Cockney slang?
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at October 14, 2026 04:37 PM (FZ29D)
Etymology and Breakdown
• Dolly: Historically a diminutive nickname for Dorothy, "dolly" also developed various slang meanings over time, including a term for a woman/favorite and, in some historical or vulgar slang contexts, a term for the penis.
• Mop: Derived from Middle English moppe, which originally meant a fool, simpleton, a messy-haired person, or a disheveled servant/drab, as well as being linked to female names and slang for untidy attire or a strumpet (such as historical terms like mab or mob).
Posted by: ace at October 14, 2026 04:37 PM (1wjle)
Dollymop is pretty specific, it refers to Victorian Era underage girls, often taken by upper class dudes who caught the clap and were told you could get rid of it by sleeping with a virgin. And yes, that nonsense still is told in some parts of Africa as well.

In the culture wars initiated by the left, you either die (figuratively or literally) a comrade, or you live long enough to become a dissident.
It's like the "Malfoid" (not my thing, but w/e) phenomenon that just came to my attention. JK Rowling is a feminist and thus a female-supremacist, but she was cast out of the mainstream left for not supporting trannies.

“Dollymop” is a 19th‑century British slang term for an amateur or part‑time female prostitute, derived from a combination of “dolly” (slang for a woman) and “mop” (slang for a young whiting fish), with roots in older English and even Proto‑Indo‑European vocabulary

From AI: Yes, Shane Gillis has consistently mocked Republicans and Donald Trump in his recent work, despite often being labeled "conservative" or "MAGA-friendly" by some. In his Netflix special Beautiful Dogs, he makes jokes about the "hypocrisy of pro-gun advocates" and the "unseriousness of Donald Trump’s speeches," and has stated in interviews that he "didn’t vote for Trump."
I guess that bought him a spot on SNL but no grace from the lefty scolds.

LMAO...Behold the Obtuse among us. That's Shane Gillis's whole gig. He purposefully antagonizes people on both sides of the aisle. I am somewhat reverent about the Founding Fathers in their wisdom. But, damn if I didn't laugh my ass off at Gillis's portrayal of George Washington and the liberties he took. He portrays Washington as an out of control red-headed giant retard effected by his lead based false teeth, and that alone scared the Hessians into defeat as they saw the lunatic taking row boats across the semi-frozen Delaware while other Continental soldiers tried to get him to sit down on the boat.
Hell, Gillis, who claims that Downs Syndrome just missed him, and that's why he has the appearance of one, used to go to Pro Football games and get front row seats in the handicapped area because after enough beers he looked like he fit right in. And, this is a story he enjoys telling.

The cope has been hilarious. I saw one woman post a short clip of women working out in super skimpy outfits in the 80s, as if that was the norm then. No honey, that was what they wore in videos you took home to work out in, if you were a woman and kept hidden under your bed if you were a boy. No women were working out in that kind of clothing in the YWCA or Planet Fitness back then.
Another claimed that men work out without shirts on all the time and that men are hypocrites but almost all gyms forbid doing so.

Bad casting on behalf of Jack Warner. Hepburn did fine as the after being made a princess part but was not particularly believable as the flower girl and her Cockney was about as bad as Dick Van Dyke's in Mary Poppins.
Julie Andrews who starred in the Broadway role and by all rights should have been Eliza instead ended up with Walt Disney due to Warner, and won an Academy Award for best actress as Mary Poppins.

The "joke" is Trump is a bad person. That's it. That's all it ever is. But that's not a joke.
And to take a comparison, SNL had a skit on Reagan once where Reagan pretended to be senile to the public while being sharp as a tack as soon as the cameras turned off. And it was funny. Now the overall setup was mean but...they changed it in a way so it wasn't just "Reagan is bad"

More like Jonathan Creek who was a technician that designed magician illusions. Ludwig is a puzzler (one who writes puzzles) and a bit at sea with the world having been a shut in for most of his life. So there are Monk vibes here. They introduce a twin brother also played as a mostly offscreen presence for Mitchell as well. The brother was a Detective Inspector and got involved in some shadowy overarching plot that required the shutin to impersonate him in the first series and now as a consultant when he was revealed as an imposter at the end of series one.
Want humor, David Mitchell's older and much shorter series, Ambassadors, is actually quite good. And he works in a Prince Andrew visit in that series without of course directly naming the prince that came to the country to charm them for contracts.

Thing is, if people really want to show off their hard earned physique, they can enter fitness competitions or pageants. There’s a time and a place. Perhaps gyms could have a normal people workout time and a “look at me” workout time.

When it entered the language from French the word "appoint" only meant to place somebody in a position or office.
And "disappoint", more rarely used, meant to undo that appointment, often leaving somebody feeling deflated and with less hope.
And in general this feeling that things did not turn out as hoped for became "disappointment".

Ya know, the way out of this is to starve from the attention they crave. Which is true of so many things. I personally find the girls who think every man at the gym is staring at her annoying, because, and maybe they need to sit down a second, they aren’t all that incredible looking.
There was a time when people wanted to attract other people so they could go date and pair up. It wasn’t a bad thing. This sanitized no one can be attracted to anyone thing is not all the lined up with human nature. But there is definitely a line between hey, I think I look good, and want you to think I look good, versus my shorts are tight so now you get to glom all over me and I asked for it. There is also a line between short short girl, and someone having a train ridden on them and expecting zero judgement for that.

that kind of fills in a gap for me, because the French word for disappoint is nothing like "disappoint." It's something like "decevoir" (which I guess is something like "receive badly").
so now I know why disappoint =/= disappoint.

The problem is more about women wearing these outfits and getting angry just because a guy looked at her, sometimes with her phone out so she can post it on TikTok.
There’s no epidemic of sexual assaults at gyms that I’m aware of. So men, in general, are doing OK. But it’s become a performative act from sone women to get me attracted and then get offended if they’re attracted (usually because the guy isn’t up to her standards and must be punished for the insolence).
You go out dressed like that in public anywhere long enough to be noticed and you could draw some unwanted attention by men.
They should must be thankful they aren’t dressing like this in a country where men don’t bother controlling themselves instead of just complaining or joking about it here.

The truth is, for everyone, if you want to be respected, dress repectably.
I remember a fairly recent story where a black guy ran a test. He went into a bank to ask for a loan in hoodie and street clothes. He was just about run out. Then later, he went in dressed in a well-cut suit and tie. They just about fell over themselves to help him.

Can I invent an explanation? I will give it a shot!
There is roughly a 30-point IQ Communication Gap. (Really, two standard deviations, but that's not just math -- worse, it's statistics.) So, a somewhat bright, 120 IQ comedian's sense of humor may seem overly abstract and unfunny to the average Heritage (non-immigrant) Black with an 85 IQ (one standard deviation below the mean).
Conversely, a comedian whose IQ is Right There With Them will hit their entire community, as well as the whole peak of the bell curve up to 115, and also the smarter ones who are drunk or high* at the time. It's a smart market-maximizing play -- but since he isn't smart, he probably just stumbled into it by accident.
* There was an exchange, I think on the old Motley Fool paid forums, where someone wondered how Two And A Half Men could be so popular. "It's just sex and fart jokes." And one guy replied, "Yeah, well, that's all I can handle at the end of the day, after using up all my brainpower at work."

Approximately seven million Muslims are estimated to live in France, many of whom have come from former French colonies such as Algeria, Morocco and Cameroon

Chris Rock in a moment of candor talking to fellow comedians noted that what they can get away with mentioning once works but with his audience he has to say things several times before they get it.
TBH most people look better in some clothes then completely naked.
When I was a young fella, Terri Hatcher was a major crush. So gorgeous. But when I saw her naked, I wished I had not.

Filming should be out at most places. Life is not a bad remake of reality tv and people are not main characters. This urge to put everything on social media complete with video, audio, and stills is not healthy either. And the new Meta and Google spy glasses are going to make public even worse.

We once had a bad problem where we received a check for funds we needed for a closing the next day. Her Majesty and I went to the bank in the best clothes in our wardrobes and talked to the manager about it. He said he'd be happy to have a cashier's check made out on the spot for the amount. Maybe he would have done it anyway, but why leave anything on the table?

With what I do, I really need to see form, baggy clothes make it very hard. It’s the same with dance and why dancers wear what they do. But the attention you get in my studio is me correcting your form. You aren’t going to get great video content because 1. You are not allowed to film in my studio for personal content. And 2. If you have time for that, you aren’t working hard enough.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump suggests Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) may be BOUGHT OFF by the CARTELS, calling on every AZ voter to vote Andy Biggs
"Katie Hobbs does the BIDDING of the cartels. People say SHE'S PAID OFF BY THE CARTELS."
"Something HAS to be between her and the cartels because she causes DEATH in your state. She vetoed 18 bills cracking down on crime including legislation to crush the drug cartels...it would've BROKEN the cartels."
"She wouldn't sign increased sentences for fentanyl!"
"Andy Biggs is SMART. And he's COMMON SENSE. He respects the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol." 💯
Bill after bill to crack down landed on Hobbs' desk, and she vetoed them! That's BETRAYAL
Andy Biggs has fought for border security his entire career. The contrast could NOT be clearer"

Pretty obvious that the EU wants to keep the Russian money they froze to backstop the whole banking and economic system of the Euro. I think that is what is driving it in part. They cannot go to their people having wasted billions on Ukraine (and of course kickbacks right back to the Euro pols) without being able to grasp some way to call it a victory. Stealing the frozen money is part of that I think.

There is an entire panoply of workout clothes for people of all shapes and sizes that exists and has existed for the last couple of decades, which allows you to move and get your workout in without unnecessary encumbrance.
These things existed and girls wore them when I was in college 25+ years ago. Running shorts, actual sports bras and athletic tank tops that aren't glorified body paint.
The girls didn't gripe back then, and guess what, the guys still stole a glance because leaving something to the imagination is actually sexier than wearing underwear to the gym most of the time.

I guess because I read Cornell comments and have a STD of eyeballs.
Now I will read this one.
Why, for starters, do these women care what others think about they gym clothing? Granted I would be uncomfortable with the shorts and adjusting. Much less being with guys who can't help but look if you are next to them.
I'm a grandmother and still get hit on wearing long tee shirts and capri leggings in a park with grandkids. I don't want to be hit on (husband was taking our crazy #1 girl to the loo) at this point in life. I was not flaunting anything at a picnic table with grandson.
I never had to try in my prime because I was nice to look at and fun, wearing jeans and a stylin top. I didn't ever think about swishing in to catch a man.
I caught the one I married without trying. In fact he was dating a classmate and I refused to go out with him til he cleared that up. No way was I a boyfriend stealer or even thought about stealing a married man.
If you want to dress this way, go for it (I guess).
If you look good why care what others (men) think? That's empowerment, baybee. Not that I agree with what you wear, but it ain't Iran.

A White Leftwing Couple Bought a $1.5 Million Home in a Black Neighborhood in Austin. Nothing Bad Happened at All and Everyone Is Living in Racial Harmony.
Oh wait, that's not what happened at all.
What happened is racial redlining, enforced by blacks who say this is "OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!"According to numerous clips, the woman left notes on cars near her $1.5 million home, telling drivers not to park there. The home is reportedly near a Historically Black College and University. The woman, who was white, got confronted, got huffy, dropped the school's reported 25 percent graduation rate, and now they're besieged.The white couple have a Talafreako yard sign. As a wise insane man said, You get what you deserve.
Amiri KingGee I've heard that is a racial crime whose foul stain will never be erased when white people did it 70 years ago. But now? It's just some good ol' fashioned anti-gentrification terrorism. Terroristic KKK-style threats are just "the voice of the unheard." That said -- to hell with this couple. I hope they're forced out and take a million dollar loss on the house.
@AmiriKing NIGHTMARE A white couple in Austin is currently going through hell. The couple had a minor disagreement with a neighbor about people parking in front of their home and not leaving them anywhere else to park. Minor disagreement. No big deal right? (The black woman tried to escalate it, as they always do) The video was posted to Instagram and a bunch of blacks have come together to harass the couple. The man even says in the video, 'Everybody go stand in front of her house and scare her to make her move.' This is a crime. - Stalking - Texas Penal Code sec. 42.072 - Harassment - Texas Penal Code sec. 42.07 - Terroristic threat - Texas Penal Code sec. 22.07

So which is it? It makes sense to combine them when you are talking about the whole bunch. But in this case, there is one specific one near the house. And it is either a college or a university. It is not both.

Second, their arrogance, wanting to prove their false social beliefs. Buying a home in this neighborhood was likely a political statement from them, not because they liked the house.
Third, the move to put notes on windshields, that is just stupid. It inflames the car owner, who then told the neighbors, and just like that, the only white family in the neighborhood becomes a self-made target.
The non-self awareness of these people sounds like they are true white liberals. They got what they asked for.

No-rust VW bug (spent a lot of its life in CA), on the east coast. Fantastic car. Once was so busy I couldn't replace a dead battery for a few weeks. Just started it with help (on the flats) and always parked on a hill near home.
Actually did sell it, eventually. Had my mechanic (a VW guy exclusively) pick a buyer from his customer list, and name the price. Got twice what I'd paid for it. Heap big interest in a no-rust bug back there.

There is a reason that urban cities become notorious for too many regulations, laws, rules, etc. It is because they concentrate the assholes in a small geographic area and these rules, laws, regulations, have to be directed toward the lowest common denominator. Same reason that suburbs now have HOA Not Sees.
People behaving awful to each other and the ones that behave the most awful end up causing rules against their awfulness.
Cities concentrate people behaving badly so you end up with prison rules and customs for everyone to lessen the likelihood that person A shanks person B.
All of that tends to go away when you have space enough between dwellings that the assholes can be ignored. They tend to self select too after acting the fool and move to places more accepting of their behavior.

I dunno. There was some stuff in Louisville that did not seem to have garages- especially the older stuff downtown. Always struck me as odd. Louisville also was horrific on closet and cupboard space too. It's like 100 years ago no one had anything, so they did not put any space in to store it, and it became a habit in construction.

The older style row houses were like that because they were pre car, but I doubt that is the situation here in a newer place like Austin. My sister used to live in one in DC, and her liberal ideals were set aside when she needed to use a broom to drive bums and riff raff off her lawn.

There was a movie that came out in 2021 called "Karen", which was essentially this scenario Ace wrote about, only of course it was a black couple trying to fit into an affluent white Atlantia suburb.
That movie was memorable to me for all the wrong reasons. Some notable moments - the white racist "Karen" antagonist had a confederate soap dispenser, her brother of course was a corrupt racist cop who also was part of "The Brotherhood", and Ben Crump himself had a part at the end where he decried the perils of huwhite racism while some guy on the side was playing on either trombone or a trumpet.

My house is 135 years old, has been renovated I dunno 10 times? A couple of additions along the way. Still has a lot of the original wood floors. It’s a really cool house.
But it needs work constantly. I knew what I was getting into though and it’s part of the deal. Also has just a tiny one car garage which sucks. I could use a 3 car garage easily.
Neighborhood is awesome, huge oak and maple trees, and every house is unique not cookie cutter shit in a subdivision. It’s a historic district so any new builds have to conform to the aesthetic of the neighborhood. And it’s walkable to just about anything I need. Very few houses are ever for sale and when they do go up they sell fast.
But it’s not for everyone obviously.
Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at October 14, 2026 03:56 PM (k3anH)
Part of the reason black neighborhoods are generally poor and dysfunctional is because anyone living there gets out as soon as they can. So there's continual flight out of the neighborhood of the very residents who could make it better.
The same is true for white trash trailer parks. Nobody wants to live there. As soon as a resident can get out, they do.

I used to think corporations were cool because all they wanted to do was make money, politics be damned. Along with this naivete, I also thought CEOs were capitalist animals who would fight DEI and ESG like Orcs. Guess not!
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at October 14, 2026 01:31 PM (mmrXZ)
It's a puzzler! But it all makes sense if they're low-attachment, high-functioning sociopaths.
A nation bounded by laws and Constitution will always limit their power. If they can ride the Socialist tiger and stay on top, then they can have unbounded, unaccountable power.
By regression to the mean, sexual reproduction will hinder dynasties by making the offspring of exceptional couples closer to their ethnic group average. And, while wealth is a pie that can be expanded, status really is a zero-sum game, where your family's upward mobility may come at the cost of their family's rank. If they can use DEI and ESG to keep White and Oriental men from the lower to middle-middle classes from rising up through merit, then their own lazy, spoiled, midwit, mediocre offspring can stay on top.
This may explain the WEF/transnat elites' support for DEI/ESG and socialism.

I am not far enough away anymore from the blob that has moved my way in the last twenty years. But my neighborhood is all large acreage and not really suited for mega complex development. No pumping stations for the area means all the development must be gravity fed. That puts a choker on development long enough for my wife to finish up and retire so we can move away.
She has about five years to go for max benefits and is getting closer to just wanting to end it in two years when she can draw benefits.
I grew up on a farm mostly and miss the wide open spaces and development is beginning to be claustrophobic in our larger neighborhood along with governance getting worse.

I grew up on farm land just outside town and going into cities to this day feels wrong and bad. Too many people, nowhere to escape, no fields, the views are all blocked off by buildings, the smell is bad, its loud, there's no life except people and rats in alleys, maybe a pigeon or dove.

Trees go because the developers want every square foot they can get out of zoning and zero lots require bulldozing and shaping everything to get proper drainage, sewage, and construction slabs. Old style was you had a developer that sold lots to individual builders, new style is developer integrated with a universal builder for a project and often even a patron lender. So mass production of cookie cutter homes with HOAs.
FWIW, I think houses are viewed as disposable now for a corporate class that moves every couple of years anyway. Same with the H1Bs, etc. And from what I've seen, many of these new tract houses are poorly built and not really designed for decades to come.

Akshually, there are homes like that in Cville. They're usually professor's homes.
Yes, you can find homes around the $1.5 million price point near the University of Virginia (UVA) campus in Charlottesville, though inventory in that specific combination of price and proximity is limited and competitive.
• Near-Campus Neighborhoods: Areas like Lewis Mountain (within walking distance of campus and spots like the Fralin Museum or Scott Stadium), Jefferson Park Avenue (JPA), and parts of Rugby Road or University Circle feature desirable historic and traditional homes.
• Nearby Upscale Communities: Slightly outside the immediate dense campus grid, upscale areas like Ednam (close to Farmington Country Club and UVA) offer luxury homes typically floating right around or under the $1.5 million mark.
• Market Realities: In the central Cville/UVA corridor, a $1.5 million budget will generally buy you a smaller historic cottage, a high-end townhome, or an older home needing updates rather than a massive new-construction estate (which tend to push past $1.6M–$1.7M

When I was in college I rented a room and had to park in the street. No problem, it was far enough away from the campus that there was always room for more cars. The old bat living across the street got pissed though. Left notes on my windscreen all the time. Sometimes with a list of days when I was parked in front of her house, or with a polaroid, like she was gathering evidence for CSI. Note, she had a driveway big enough for two cars but she only had one. It's not as if I was taking the last street space.

Giant oaks, pines, etc. have root fields that extend about the same distance from the trunk as the leaves go. Get into that root field with a dozer, etc. often that will kill the big tree requiring expensive removal.
Last twenty years, spent a lot of time on local development issues helping other folks deal with incoming development nightmares and blocking the worst of them. Learned a fair chunk over time about a lot of current and bad development practices that current builders want to do.

Hiring illegals via subcontractors is part of it. Flashy add ones like granite countertops but shitty wood and drywall along with crappy plumbing and electrical.

That's the thing, people used to move. Cities grew because that was where a lot of jobs were when few owned land. Young people moved to growing areas, or cities for a while and lived on the minimum and traded up. Now the expectation is to get a huge house in a familiar place all at once.

I think the glory of pine trees will pall shortly. They are alright far enough from the house but close by, not so much and if you get pine bark beetles, will die overnight. Watch for the bright orange tops and take that tree down promptly and have it removed. Or it will spread to all surrounding pine trees quickly.
Had that experience personally. Gum trees, by comparison, are just a pain in the butt every gumball season. But can turn beautiful colors in fall.

Are some people just born with a gene that makes them go crazy when cars park on the street in front of their house? I can’t imagine caring about this.
Talarico sign out front. Gentrification house with the white and black paint scheme. Neurotic residents complaining about minorities parking by a minority university. Couldn't have painted a better picture of what Austin has become in the last 15 years. The cognitive dissonance of these uppity NIMBY liberal types is crazy.
I was fully expecting this person to be a Trump supporter, like every other white woman I've seen act this way. Honestly, I'm confused.
This isn't HOAville, it's the center of historically black Austin which is pretty unmistakable from the murals, community center, George Washington Carver museum (RIP), signs hanging over 11th st, light pole banners and, an HBU campus, etc

That's why "Democratic" Socialism is getting so popular, young people want all the benefits of the city but not to pay for it. They don't want to go through the peanut butter-and-ramen live with 5 room mates in a dump stage of growing up, they want their own house with a robot maid, and a new apple product and PS(x) every year.
Its partly having grown up being given everything and not required to work for anything or God forbid attempt and fail or get hurt. They're perpetually 13. They don't know exactly what socialism means, they just like the idea of having everything they need given them so they can spend whatever they earn on themselves.

That's what happened at the last rental place where I lived in Calgary. It was a few blocks from SAIT (a tech college), and many students parked there, but it never caused me any problem. Some neighborhood Karen came around, asking me to sign a petition to the city demanding "residents-only" parking stickers. I refused to sign, which pissed her off, but the city instituted residents-only parking anyway, and I had to buy a six-dollar sticker. Same year I finally had enough money for a down payment on my current place in the country. Gone!

Greta Gerwig, satanist who made the movie said that she was entirely driven by "faith" and claimed that she 'read all of Lewis' books" which I find highly unlikely given that he wrote about 40 of them. She might have had an AI read the wikipedia summary of some of them out loud to her.
But she never stated what this "faith" was or in whom it was.

Montecito, where all the Santa Barbara celebrities live, has a shit-ton of eucalyptus, which has rather shallow root systems. Every time the Santa Ana winds come blasting through the canyons, a bunch of eucalyptus comes crashing down, smashing Volvos and tearing up their personal putting greens in the backyard.
While driving through Montecito to my favorite trailhead, I saw one of these that barely missed the bedroom wing of the house. The trunk was about 7 ft in diameter and leaning against the house. The woman who lived there was standing in the front yard wearing PJs with a thousand yard stare probably with soiled underwear.

Cornell's Jane Doe Nominated for Best Rape Hoax at This Year's Spirit Awards
She's a shoe-in.
During her seven hour rape by seven rapists, she apparently had full possession and use of her phone, which she, get this, did not use to summon the authorities but instead chat with her roomie. Don't you Racists know that all women in the middle of a gang-rape experience trauma that causes them to text as if nothing is happening? See, all lies told by rape hoaxers are actually "classic signs of trauma." It's just Science, Bigots."Cornell 7" accuser Jane Doe sent her roommate a three-letter text during the time she alleges she was gang raped -- which a lawyer for one of the accused frat brothers cites as proof she wasn't too wasted to consent. Jane Doe's roommate texted her at 3:05 a.m. on Oct. 20, 2024, to ask her, "You coming home tn [tonight]?" according to a screenshot shared by TMZ show. "idk," the accuser replied, using the three-letter abbreviation for "I don't know." The text appears to have been sent from Jane Doe's phone in the middle of what she later alleged was a drunken, ketamine-fuelled gang-rape in the Chi Phi fraternity house on Cornell University's Ithaca, New York, campus. The exchange took place between half an hour and an hour after Doe says multiple men were snorting ketamine off her body, and she was so intoxicated she couldn't process what was going on. At least one of the seven accused fraternity brothers' lawyers says that the messages -- which featured in Cornell's internal disciplinary hearing -- show the woman was not incapacitated and could read, process, and respond to messages, TMZ reported.She also wrote "i love u" to one of her gang-rapists and reminisced about snorting ketamine ("ket") off one rapist's dong. Another classic "tell" of rape trauma.
Jane Doe's roommate, who sent the first message, later shared a picture of their sorority dorm room on social media at around 11:15 a.m. on the morning after the alleged gang rape, along with the caption, "It was a good night when only one out [of] three of us made it back."
I think he was raped, too.
Good heavens, about two days after she claims to have been gang raped, she told one of her so-called rapists, "I really do love u." Last week, yet more texts from Jane Doe to a member of the group of frat brothers known as the "Cornell 7" were released. According to TMZ, these texts are between her and Jonathan Newell. "ps. I'm not sure if u remember but I did ket off your dick at some point ... and I honestly think that was one of the most insane/jaw dropping moments of the night," wrote Jane Doe to Newell, per TMZ. He responded with, "I'm just glad ur ok, I was kinda upset w all the stories going around earlier but at the end of the day that's all they r." Then Newell appears to respond to her news about doing ketamine off of him with, "And I have no memory of that last part." This text closes with a laughing emoji.
Classic post-rape behavior. "Trauma" always causes women to behave as if they're just straight-up makin' shit up. Be better, Bigots. #BeBetter.
She then writes, "oh jesus not the stories i don't even think i wanna know. I know im socially a massive slut rn and i like can't bare to hear it cause im really not."
Per TMZ, this exchange occurred on the evening of October 21, 2024, which is the day after the alleged gang rape. Then, ten days later, after Newell's fraternity disinvited her to a Halloween party she was eager to attend, Jane Doe changed her tune... Something else that happened over those ten days was Jane Doe finding herself slut-shamed on campus. The night after the event, it sounds like she's bragging about snorting the drugs off of his penis. Then, ten days later, she's basically claiming she was forced to do this.

Destroying men's lives because she has regrets. (Even if I find their choices disgusting, they ALL made those choices.)
Destroying the lives of men who never even touched her because she thought they might have. (Who were trying to navigate around people making disgusting choices. I think they also made a foolish choice to be in that environment, but some of the guys had literally nothing to do with the orgy.)
Making real rape claims less believable. Rape is a heinous crime. Pretending "I felt pressured so I couldn't say no" is rape makes a mockery of actual rape claims (He put a knife to my throat; or they dragged me into a bush and then left me for dead). It's of a type with Stolen Valor. ("Stolen Victimhood" just doesn't quite cut it, though.)

The marxist Karen's running universities are doing their best to trash tradition and history. At my fraternity last year a sorority bimbo gets drunk in her room, goes over to the frat (carrying her bottle of vodka) and asks for her boyfriend. He comes.down, sees her, and takes her drunk ass back to her sorority. He hands her over to her roommate who then calls the sorority president. Together they put the bimbo to bed and calls the university complaining her boyfriend got her drunk. The fraternity (highest group GPA on campus) is put in probation. It took three alumni ($$$ donors) and an attorney to straighten it out, much to the chagrin of the tranny bitch overseeing the Greek system on campus.

Not really. The slut-shaming began almost immediately, and she completely brushed it off in the "it's my body, right" text to the Newell kid. She didn't care that everyone knew she fucked a bunch of popular jocks at the popular jock frat. She was almost proud of it.
What she did care about was getting kicked off the Halloween party invite list. That's the entire reason she became hostile and accusatory. To her, getting dissed by the frat was far more embarrassing and status-reducing than fucking a bunch of the cool kids.
There's also some issue she had with her own sorority sisters talking shit about her. (Shocker that they would do that, right?) I think that's tied up in the "what is happening to you" text from Newell (?).

I'd call it rape though. The difference in power between a President and an intern is overwhelming.
Case in point:
During Clinton's presidency an Army captain met a young woman, off post, and they started an affair. She later told him she was a sergeant but not in his unit.This came out and he was court-martialed for rape and she was kicked out of the Army. They later married.
Why was he charged? Because of the power level difference between a captain and a sergeant. She was unable to say no without fear of reprisal...so says the prosecutor.

Is this NORMAL coed behavior at Whorenell?
Multiple choice:
a) Slut
b) Not a real slut, just at frat parties and threesomes aka social media slut
c) Everyone does this I was told by a Cornell flyer
d) Like a virgin (Madonna, Queen of STD's)
e) All of the above
I saw the news this week that all frat parties are forbidden. I feel sure she's now a social media slut by the entire campus. They have to go off campus now for keggers or ketamine or whatever they do.

I noticed the incumbent Dem governor in MA jumped onboard her opponent's idea to suspend the gas tax. Note...not now, after she wins.
That tells me she's at least a little worried - that bint was elected on a platform of raising fossil fuel costs. But I suspect she will win and afterwards there will be a fair number of Dem voters wondering why the gas tax did not go down...

I don't know if it was her, but there was definitely some woman who was taking that stuff and was shocked how horny she now was. I think Andrew Sullivan (who was also taking T) linked to that one.
When I was younger I heard about T making women "aggressive". There were some guys (weirdos) who were administering this hormone to the women in their lives. I asked around because I didn't know why a man would want an aggressive woman in the house and the consensus I got back was that "aggressive" was code for horny.

This is (sadly) very normal behavior and has been for a long time. As I've been saying, the popular and prestigious frats have a lot of social power and control who gets inside the velvet rope. There are many girls who will do almost anything to get inside that rope.
Plus, 99% of everything girls under the age of 25 see in social media, TV, movies, concerts, and pretty much everything is girls acting like total whores. They internalize that and seek to mimic it.
Ace posted yesterday about the sleazy, slutty, X-rated concerts of that Sabrina Carpenter twat, and she mimics on stage exactly what Craig did here: blow some guy while getting fucked from behind by another.

So he's already 100% proven innocent of the charges. But no one cares.

Men fuck for Recreation. Women fuck for Security. Now they mistake that for Approval.
Women call Women that fuck for Recreation whores because it goes against the search for security.

Per two DOJ sources: Discrepencies in naturalized citizenship papers are just the tip of the iceberg in the case against Ilhan Omar. A sealed superceding indictment has irrefutable evidence she married her brother to obtain his citizenship, that she is guilty of mass fraud, and has hidden massive amounts of wealth in offshore accounts.

It's one of the interesting aspects of audience reaction. I watched it on the east coast, then on the west coast, and there was a lot more resonance on the east coast for the classic New England small private college 1960s vibe.
Sort or reminded me of the scene in Annie Hall where the east coast audience guffawed and laughed at the Christmas scene opening, which showed bright sunny sky and palm trees before the camera panned down to Woody and whoever it was. On the west coast? No reaction whatsoever, treated just as a pretty transition visual to the conversation in the car.

Kinda stupid, because they could do the exact same thing next weekend if they wanted without a party. Jane Doe came for the sex and not the party. Nearly all of the drinking was her before the meeting. They went private for the ketamine parts, which she knew about before hand.
In very little of this in all reports is there the 'got plied with drink and caught off guard' or 'social pressure took her too far' that might be warded off by banning the party.

Ketamine is a versatile cyclohexanone-derived dissociative general anesthetic and NMDA receptor antagonist. Synthesized in 1962 and FDA-approved in 1970, it is used medically for short-term anesthesia, chronic or acute pain management, and treatment-resistant depression.

Very popular club and "party" drug. It's a sedative, but unlike heroin or oxy, it has distinct euphoric effects. Makes you giddy and happy.
It's popular with the ladies because it's "clean," easy to take, and there's no real hangover.
K is very dangerous in high doses, though. Just ask Mathew Perry.

My guess would be is that people looked at the reaction to the Clancey thing and realized that even a lot of women were going: 'she's an evil, murdering bitch... maybe we should rethink a lot of this shit we have pushed lately.'
This was an attempt to claw back credibility because a fair number of gals have had sexual encounters they have regretted. The thing is, they rushed in with pushing the sorry before they really did their own research and... well, commies, you hitched your star to a skank.

Agree, but the Dums were desperate and only read the complaint -- which of course is totally inconsistent with what she said at the time.
Too many people -- even some on our side -- think a legal complaint is some kind of proof or even evidence of what happened. It's not. 90% of what goes into a complaint is somewhere between Total Bullshit and Heavily Exaggerated. Don't ask me how I know.

They were paid an outrageous amount of money to produce a few shows/movies.
They bought one documentary at Sundance already completed, “American Factory”, that won an Oscar just because Trump was president that year.
Then they made a Netflix series documentary where Obama got paid to go vacation to national parks around the world and talk about them.
They did some other stuff, too, but I can’t remember what exactly.

It really is beginning to be true. They've made sexual depredation passe and boring and embarrassing, and traditional sexuality outre and exciting.
I still think USAID was involved in the relentless cultural push to brainwash every American born after 1960 that there's something clinically wrong with you if you haven't had sex before you turn 18, and you should be locked in an asylum for the safety of others if you still haven't before age 21.

Which is a novel legal concept that is insane in its implications. But they are so determined to make this a Thing for this election that they don't care.
Unfortunately more than a few people know nothing about this case other than white frat boys raped a girl. The fact that it was not rape, that most of the guys were not white, and she thanked them for it later is either unknown or irrelevant to them.

The Whatever podcast was having a discussion on fertility. One male guest mentioned female fertility starts dropping after 28 and seriously after 35.
All the young female guests said he was wrong and how they settled on why was fascinating. One woman said, "Well hey this celebrity just had a child at 40 so obviously you are wrong" and then all the others gloomed onto the same argument.
Now, the argument isn't you can't get pregnant at 40, but that it is harder and more dangerous. But here what mattered to the young women was what celebrities were doing.

True, at least in this case. Cornell tried to support her contention, wanted to support her contention, and could not find even the slightest evidence she was raped. In fact, there was more evidence she sexually assaulted a guy that night than the reverse, in that she said she blew a guy while he was unconscious.
None of that matters to her lawyer.

It's pretty old - Feminism always had a core encouraging women to be sexually libertine as a default to be more like men -- neglecting the large fraction of men who are content with one woman in one relationship if they can.
Women who don't - forget them. Women who go into business or have a career but don't become artificial men...well forget them too. We need Girl Bosses who act like idiots instead.

Women love arguing from exceptions, even if it makes no sense. Girlish guys do, too. Its very common online. If someone argues "women are the only ones with a uterus" some idiot will say "my mom had her uterus taken out, is she not a woman any longer? HUH??? HUH????"

I said it earlier in the thread. I'll say it again. Bluntly, not as an insult, but to explain how it is.
Most Men just want to fuck. I've met a few women who get it. One stated it plainly. "Men are easy. Fuck 'em and feed 'em".
She wasn't wrong.
What I do understand is the Female Sex Drive. Once a woman is secure ? She doesn't have one. Because Women don't "like" sex any more than I like fishing.
I like catching. As do women. The End.

I got aggressively hit on by a woman in college once but she was staggering-around wasted. I extricated myself politely and wandered around. Came back and she was sitting down over a pool of her own vomit surrounded by her friends.

We are purely visual creatures when it comes to sex.
All it takes, especially when we are young, is seeing a woman who is attractive in whatever way that individual finds attractive, and instantly we are starting to winder what’s underneath all those clothes.
If she is asleep or passed put that just means she can’t bust us checking her out.
The ones among us with the least amount of impulse control might take that further to, “she looks helpless, here is my chance…”.

Is it?
There are three groups here
1) People that see Clancy as a murderer and want her punished
2) People that think it is not a criminal thing she murdered her kids because she had reasons to do it as a woman. Mental illness, hormones, emotions, whatever
3) Crazy people that think there was some grand conspiracy to help her husband get away with murdering the kids and pin it on her
Ignore group 3 here. If group 2 is right then logically women shouldn't be allowed to make any decisions because they can't be held to the results of those decisions.

Well his point isn't to prove women are nuts, his point is to say these are the two options that supporters of Clancy are creating. Its their claim that women are inherently unable to control themselves because of hormones and emotions so they should be unpunished for their evil. Which would be the kind of person who ought not be given any power over anything, even children.
I see women as being capable of controlling themselves and handling their emotions as well as men, as 99.99% have for all humanity. But that is their argument even if they aren't aware of the implications of their position.

I know that false accusations are a huge issue, but one of my biggest problems with our society is how useless our modern systems of education are. This gal was in college and didn't know the difference between "bear" and "bare". It's similar to what I see on nextdoor.com. We spend a fortune on k-12 schools and about a third of the people can't write at the level of a third grader.

I'd already planned to leave a letter to our gorgeous (and they are, age 5 & 1yrs) granddaughters on how I hope they will be in HS and college if I am not here. My ROE as a teen through college.
About not falling for peer pressure to be popular. To value themselves as they are in our eyes: perfect and beautiful.
Not needing to be popular if sex/drugs/booze are expected. Stand out from the crowd. Wait for maturity that comes with age. Explain that I was very popular in HS and college and rarely dated but had a lot of male and female friends.
Respect is everything. Do not fall for any HS or college guy who says he loves you...real love is in your future with a mature, ambitious man who respects you, has a future, and shares your values. That is love that endures.
Think about what your parents taught you because they love and want to protect you.
Love God and His teachings.
Never settle.
And that we love* them more than they will ever know.
*Similar parental love, I think, kept me from making mistakes even 1k miles away in college.

*******
Around 2002, with both sons at party universities (UF and FSU) I read about Title IX.
Was immediately disgusted and livid in that males were kicked out of college and had to register as sexual predators after consensual sex and then the girl lying and booze. It was always the booze. No mutual texts of proof were recognized.
They both got raging emails from their crazy mom to possibly get written consent and have it notorized if they had sex. I raised them to believe they might die of AIDS, by the way,and to be careful. They were as far as I know. One married his HS sweetheart. Casanova finally married two years ago.
They know I mean well, am basically harmless (but entertaining); and they also never know what I will email. The most recent was the hairy eeslamic terrorist of a week ago who was used as an ad for hair removal.
It's not easy having me for a mother, but I'm who they got.

Report: Major Banks (Those Most Dependant on Government Goodwill) Shut Down MAGA, Pro-Life, Christian, and Other Conservative Accounts to Appeal to Biden's Authoritarian Enforcers
So Trump is allowed to force banks to close the accounts of all liberals who make excuses for antifa and Hamas terrorists, right? Because that's what I see right here.
Major banks closed accounts and refused credit to MAGA merchants, pro-life causes, religious groups, conservative organizations and sectors disfavored by the Biden administration, such as firearms, oil and gas, and private prisons, a bombshell report from the federal banking regulator has found. The Debanking Review by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) investigated 100,000 complaints and scrutinized 50,000 internal bank records to reveal how customers were "debanked" based purely on their political, social, or religious beliefs. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC, TD Bank, and BMO Bank were found to have discriminated against American consumers, citing "reputation risk" as a reason to deny service between 2020 and 2025. Negative press, protests, criticism from advocacy groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, and reprisals from regulators or politicians were cited as the reputation risks most feared by the banks. The 47-page OCC report, "Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans," released Wednesday, found that the nation's largest banks targeted Christian organizations over abortion, LGBTQ issues, and traditional family values. The banks also restricted financing for "disfavored" industries such as firearms makers and retailers, Arctic oil and gas, coal, detention facilities, tobacco and e-cigarettes.
Among the examples in the report is JPMorgan Chase's payment operation, WePay, closing the account of a merchant that sold merchandise promoting President Trump and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) brand, claiming it "promote[d] hate, violence, or racial intolerance." The bank's internal screening system regularly flagged terms such as "MAGA," "Make America Great," and "America First" that appeared in merchants' customer profiles, websites, and transaction information. Several of the terms used to find "violations" were added after the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

More than just activity tied to China. Also Russia and "south of the border" activity. Although they didn't say it, my take is this involved a lot of illegal alien activity and similar leftwing efforts.
Basically, BoA was looking the other way as massive amounts of money went back and forth with China, Russia, and almost certainly the Mexican cartels.
You can be fairly sure no MAGA operatives were involved in any of this.

You think it's an outlier that Germany is trying to ban from existence its most popular political party (the AfD), and that France has tried to ban its most popular political party (RN) as well, both for the "crime" of simply having political opinions that differ from the socialist super-government? They want to do the same thing here -- make being "conservative" impossible, illegal, a crime.

I've been seeing various people going on college campuses and asking the students if they like socialism. If they say they do the interviewer asks them to explain what socialism is. The answers usually start with something like "everyone gets what they need" and quickly when asked follow up questions of how this specifically works ends up with the student admitting they have no idea what socialism is.
Someone should try the same for fascism, here asking those that believe there are fascist pols in America, and I suspect you'd get a similiar result.

Nobody has ever cared about where the criminals stored the cash. Whether they funneled it through Wells Fargo or USBank doesn't matter to anyone - not regulators, not their own executives, not their so-called "relationship managers," not their consumers, and nobody in the general news-reading public.
There is no reputation-management to be done. Nobody figured these people were honest in the first place.
The idea that an actual, tax-paying, licensed business would need to be debanked in order to preserve a bank's """reputation""" is risible.
We already know these banks will issue a home loan to Big Daddy Slim to use for a trap house, no questions asked.

I keep coming back to how a political party (Democrats) is able to gin up the narrative of "grassroots funding support" when the grassroots portion of their political constituency is made of basement dwelling, non-working, destitute debt holders....and yet they have money to sent to the Democrat party?
Then we see ActBlu thriving and breaking all their previous quarterly records. It's an open secret that these Leftist individuals aren't providing those funds. It's likely disassembled bulk payments from overseas. But, you're not going to get away with that, and have the documented required paperwork to back it up unless a bank is playing along.

Of course, the out-of-state donors who collectively dumped $1 million of their own in support of the measure are the saints of the media story.

>>Today, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced the next step in its work to advance President Trump’s fight against the debanking of businesses and individuals on the basis of their constitutionally protected rights, including support of President Trump, MAGA, pro-life causes, and industries disfavored by the Left. The CFPB will address any consumer harm caused by the nation’s largest banks in response to the Report on debanking practices by Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).

I believe the origin of those chairs goes back to the days when romance and even sex was arranged and monitored.
Newlyweds were so young they literally did not know what to do.
If you look at the accounts of royal weddings, they will often include accounts of the "first night" between the newlyweds. There would be doctors and advisors sitting around the bed watching.

I closed a HE loan with Visions last weekend to replace the auto loan I took out in June. They were good to deal with, good rates and no closing costs (not a penny), but pretty slow in moving the loan forward and the endless bullshit they kept asking for.

🤮 KAMALA HARRIS: BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SHOULD HAVE ACTED “SOONER AND MORE FORCEFULLY” AGAINST ISRAEL
Speaking in Seoul, former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized both the Trump administration and her own Biden-Harris administration over Israel’s war in Gaza.
“Most recently, the failure to use our leverage to curtail the Israeli government's horrific conduct in the war in Gaza, both under the current administration, which offers Netanyahu a blank check, and our administration before, where we should have acted sooner and more forcefully.”
Harris said the United States has a “moral obligation to human rights and international law” and should use its leverage over allies accordingly.

Most of the same folks that love religion really hate to see the warnings in person. Its not like the Bible doesn't point out every fucking way every government subjugates it's people.

There's some dispute in the thread because that number includes voluntary deportation (an agreement with USCIS and ICE) and self deportation, which is basically just leaving with no fuss.
I see no issue with including those, it is far better that people choose to make the process easy on themselves, and creating the climate where that becomes the norm is what is happening.
The claim about Obama deporting anyone is a massive fraud, and always has been. Under Obama, it was claimed that anyone who came to the border but was denied entry for any reason was a deportation, even though all falling under this category had never set food in this country. It was just a number game to give the media something to say and make them look like they were doing something.
when they absolutely were not.

Ilhan "Omar" Falsified Her Birth Date In Her Immigration Paperwork
She lied about being 17 when she applied for citizenship, because the law stated that a minor could piggyback off a naturalized parent's citizenship but an adult couldn't.
So she changed her actual age, 18 or 19, to 17. Then her staffers changed her Wikipedia entry, which had shown her real birthdate, to her fraudulent birthdate, so that it would agree with her fraudulent immigration paperwork. That last part isn't illegal. It just shows she knows she was lying all along.Actually he wasn't her father. Her real father was Nur Said Elmi, but he couldn't get a visa, because he was a Somali war-criminal trained in revolutionary warfare by the literal communists. So she pretended to be a part of the "Omar" family. That's why she could marry her brother -- last name "Elmi" -- without everyone immediately realizing that it was her brother.
Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's staff reportedly got her birthdate changed in public records shortly after she was elected to the House in 2018, which would make her a year younger than previously documented, according to records. The revelation comes amid concerns that the congresswoman misrepresented her age to secure American citizenship. Omar has claimed that she was 17-years-old when she became a citizen in 2000, but previous records noted that she was born in 1981, meaning she was either 18 or 19 when she became a U.S. citizen. The records have since been updated to show the congresswoman was born in 1982, despite it saying 1981 for the entire time she served in the state legislature, and for months into her first Congressional term, the New York Post reported. ... Omar, who was born in Somalia, has claimed that she became a citizen through her father, who became a naturalized citizen, but that's only an option if she was a minor when it happened.
David Steinberg reports this is a "an open and shut case" with no questions about the facts of Ilhan "Omar's" crime spree. The only questions are about the statute of limitations. But there is no statute of limitations for deporting someone who obtained citizenship or a visa fraudulently.

Repost from my X feed...
Had to argue with someone about Ohio early vote. Figured I'd post a summary.
Remember that in 2022, the GOP won both the Governor and Senate races, and did so easily.
In 2026 mail vote is way down, but IPEV is up a decent amount over 2022.
However, if you look at total early vote, you see the following:
Cleveland is 15% of their 2022 EV
Ohio as a whole is 16% of 2022.
Cleveland IPEV is running about 1300 per day right now. That needs to increase to 6500 per day to equal 2022 total EV. That is a 5x increase in voting per day.
Ohio IPEV is running about 38,000 per day. That needs to increase to 58,000 per day to meet the 2022 benchmark, or a 35% increase.
I'll leave it to speculation what the meaning is of one of the 5 core Democrat strongholds being 1/5th of the needed rate compared to the state as a whole being 2/3rds of the needed rate.

If you operate under the assumption that Ohio is simply a very Republican state that isn't going to materially change within the next few cycles, it becomes easier to see through the bullshit.
But, if you're hanging onto hope that the guy who lost 2 years ago as an incumbent is surging to victory this year over issues he's not even campaigning on, well, then you can see depressed black precinct turnout as not an issue because white progressives in NYC hate Husted.

They’re testing the waters with her. They know moderate Dems, who control party leadership, see her as a far left, antisemitic liability. If the response from Jeffries and the like seems mid in the GOP’s eyes, they’ll start harassing more Dems they have an ax to grind with to normalize it more and more.
Remember that time she criticized an arms deal, and the Biden DoJ immediately opened an investigation into her with no evidence?
You're completely unhinged if you think Democrats will take this lying down. No matter what anyone thinks of Omar, she's a blue seat, and Dems protect their own.
Sure, they want to denaturalize and deport her. But how is a raid on her home going to help with that? If they want to find a mistake in her paperwork, they can comb through the paperwork without setting foot in her house.
The purpose of the raid was to intimidate her and others and to provide joy to the MAGA base.
we'll probably soon start hearing allusions to drugs, child abuse, illegal weapons, eating pets and unnatural sexual practices.

From 1990 to 2017, just 305 cases to revoke citizenship were filed. From 1967 to 2017, fewer than 150 cases actually succeeded.
Trump's DOJ has now filed 163 cases for denaturalization in 20 months, more than half the 27 year total in less than a tenth of the time.

The repeated drubbing of Democrat official complicity in MN in Somali fraud is creating an opening for the GOP. Trump did not lose MN by that much and now suddenly the Senate race and the AG race are competitive there.

As I understand it, there's a 5-year SoL in federal fraud cases, with a 10-year SoL for certain immigration frauds. These have long past, and there is no criminal "discovery" rule that I'm aware of.
But (again, as I understand it) for certain ongoing or scheme-like criminal fraud claims, the SoL doesn't start running until the last act in the scheme. So, if she tried to cover up her fraud by scrubbing Wiki in 2018, it's possible -- possible -- that the SoL didn't start running until then.
For civil actions, there is a SoL "discovery rule." So that's always an option, but I want to see this thundercunting cockroach face criminal charges.

The House couldn't stop her deportation.

But JackStraw is talking about before a legal ruling against her, what the House can do to her and who can force her out of the House.

I think her financial crimes may be the real focus. There's the fake winery and highly suspicious financial transactions involving that venture and her financial disclosures. That investigation could also ensnare her odious fake husband. He's pure sleaze and scum.
But there's also what were almost certainly yuge kickbacks if not outright participation in the billion-dollar Somali "learing center" and similar frauds.
No SoL issues with these crimes. And many people are sitting in prison for a long time over financial crimes. Martha Stewart was an A-List celeb and got 6 months in prison for minor bullshit involving financial crimes.

Someone said it’s for MT-1 which is a dead beat. In 2022 MT-1 it was close, Rep won it by 4. In 2024 Rep won it by 7. So it’s not a gimme seat but it’s a lot closer than it should be for comfort.
Montana redistricted their seats to both be safe red seats. It got a second seat in 2022 and the original districts were both 60-40. But of course. A “judge” said nah bruh you have to give Dems a fighting chance in one of them. Only Democrat states like Mass can have all their seats safe blue. So that’s why MT-1 is competitive.

From Daily Kos on Omar...
People have the sadzz
Ilhan Omar stands strong in face of racist DHS raid
Homeland Security agents raided the home of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a longtime critic of President Donald Trump who has been the target of his xenophobic, racist, and Islamophobic attacks for years.
The raid was purportedly connected to documents signed by Omar’s late father while he was in the process of seeking asylum as a Somali refugee, when Omar was a child. Omar is a U.S. citizen who has held federal office since 2019.
Led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Democrats released a statement about the “deeply disturbing” raid, which they said “raises serious questions about the continued corrupt weaponization of the federal government against Donald Trump’s adversaries.”
“For years, Donald Trump and far-right extremists have relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Omar with vile personal attacks and baseless accusations. Now, less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a duly elected Member of Congress and her family,” the statement said.

Humanoid Robot Under Investigation After Alleged Assault on Teen Girl in Germany
. . . .
A 16-year-old girl was molested and harassed by a humanoid-type robot in the German city of Cologne — which notoriously already has enough of a sex assault problem without introducing Chinese-made robots to the equation — leading police to confiscate the four-foot-tall machine.
The girl was standing outside a burger joint in the German city a little after midnight on Sunday morning when the robot approached her from behind, grabbed her buttocks, and thrusted on her, police said.
The victim alerted police to the attack and officers quickly confiscated the robot, and two cell phones, as evidence. It is said males aged 19 and 16-years-old were controlling the robot and livestreaming it to social media, reports Die Welt.

There are 3 open inquiries on her: her age, her brother marriage, and her financial crimes (e.g. why her net worth was claimed to be $30 million and then suddenly revised to $100,000 when Trump said it was gonna be investigated). I don't see a route by which she's not toast, even if Boasberg is involved.

There should be a fourth: her identity. She is not an "Omar." She is an Elmi.
I can't recall, but I think the Omars are also in on the immigration fraud and knowingly lent their name to the Elmis.

James Talarico has a 63% chance to beat Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race, according to Kalshi traders.
But what percentage of Texas Senate traders are buying Yes on Talarico?
• All Americans: 46%
• Texans: 42%
• Non-Texas: 48%
Interesting to see this breakdown of betting odds. Essentially, Talarico is favored in the betting odds at Kalshi because of blue states hundreds of miles away from Texas insisting he's going to win.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
So how does Kalshi get 63%, when only 46% of bettors are for him? Are those 46% putting down that much more money than the 54% betting on Paxton?
Posted by: mikeski at October 14, 2026 12:56 PM (VHUov)
I've seen 2 polls in the last day that have Paxton winning. Not because the race has changed. Because it's the middle of October and this literally happens every single election.
The media polls are as corrupt as the media. They are used to energize the left and depress our votes. As we get closer to election day they start to reflect reality so they can save even some credibility.
Every single election.

They flood the zone. Because every dollar spent fighting Prop 1 in Idaho is $1 that isn’t available for a close senate race in Ohio.

Romney was a straight polling miss--there were two tracks in that race. One assuming that Romney would win narrowly, the other assumed that Obama's new coalition was still large enough even after the glow was gone, to win in 2012. Plus, as we know now, probably a bit of fraud in swing states which has grown like cancer by 2020.
Right now, the better pollsters could and should be using early voting and vote requests to rectify errors in likely voting screens instead of asking about chances of voting or using past recall screening on their votes in 2024. So far, early electorate is whiter, older, and more GOP than 2022 which is the closest past midterm. Can vary a bit by states as VA is an exception to the general trend right now.

Polling's insanity over the last few years is either "polling has gotten a whole lot worse because reaching working class, especially rural, voters is difficult and expensive" (I saw a claim that response rates for rural voters in Iowa was 0.1%.)
Or, it's "pollsters are in on the betting market grift and are stacking the odds in the direction that makes them the most money." Baris admitted doing this, by the way. He ran a poll showing Massie winning his primary, but he actually bet on Massie losing it. He admitted it in a livestream.

There are a lot of classic propaganda ops going on right now with both the media, social media and betting markets. Those dominions are staffed by people who peddle counter factual information and try to move opinion through repetition across those mediums. I am a little disappointed at platforms like X, because it seems a lot of the fake accounts and activity is not being caught, and allowed to persist. Regular media audiences are shrinking and it’s mostly bias confirmation for liberals. Almost no honest person believes them anymore. The betting markets are clearly overwhelmed by foreign and domestic liberal influences. Polls too. The bias is something even a small child with basic reasoning and math skills could see. It’s why everything is a big surprise when things move in the other direction.

Targeting young males with questionable impulse control. It's not as bad as online sports betting, but this is a malicious industry preying almost exclusively on young males, many underage or close to it.
Yes, I know and agree that nobody is forcing anyone to gamble. But literally the entire sports, media, and gambling industries are lined up to pressure and prey on naive young men.
If this were happening to young ladies, there would be criminal prosecutions. But who cares about destroying men's lives? I've seen what gambling addictions can do to families, and I'm seeing it played out in real time with teenage kids in the family-friends circle.

Wednesday Morning Rant
For the first time since the ICC's formation, however, it is no longer pursuing its primary goal in a vacuum. For decades, the United States has ignored the ICC as it has pushed on the United States, despite its illegitimacy. The Trump Administration has had enough, and made that clear almost from the beginning. Early in the second administration, in February of 2025, Trump issued EO 14203, establishing sanctions against the ICC:
... the International Criminal Court (ICC), as established by the Rome Statute, has engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel. The ICC has, without a legitimate basis, asserted jurisdiction over and opened preliminary investigations concerning personnel of the United States and certain of its allies, including Israel, and has further abused its power by issuing baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. The ICC has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel, as neither country is party to the Rome Statute or a member of the ICC. Neither country has ever recognized the ICC's jurisdiction ...
The United States will impose tangible and significant consequences on those responsible for the ICC's transgressions, some of which may include the blocking of property and assets, as well as the suspension of entry into the United States of ICC officials, employees, and agents, as well as their immediate family members, as their entry into our Nation would be detrimental to the interests of the United States. I therefore determine that any effort by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute protected persons, as defined in section 8(d) of this order, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to address that threat. ...And then what happened? If you guessed, "nothing," then you were right - albeit only briefly. In August of 2025, Secretary of State Rubio announced individual sanctions against various ICC personnel. In September of that year, the sanctions were expanded to cover various NGOs that were working with the ICC against American interests. In December of that year, sanctions were expanded again, targeting more ICC personnel. In February of this year, Trump extended the emergency declared in the EO. In August of this year, Rubio again expanded the sanctions list and promised a "whole of government" effort to destroy the ICC:
Our whole of government campaign to dismantle the threat posed by the ICC to national sovereignty will be sweeping and we expect more countries to join our campaign by ending their funding and participation in this politicized and unaccountable court. The ICC's ability to target American nationals and those of other non-States Parties must end. The Trump Administration stands ready to take additional measures, if necessary, to systematically dismantle the ICC until it is incapable of threatening American sovereignty.The ICC has, of course, not stopped pretending it has any say over Americans or American policy, or the policy and personnel of other non-member states. Those states will respect the ICC's authority, come hell or high water! Flash forward to this month, and the administration has hit the accelerator. First, the rhetoric from the State Department:
Our message is clear: the United States and its people are not subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC. Both parties agree on this, but only President Trump has the resolve to take the action needed to end this threat for good. Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC. We expect our allies, many of whom are part of the ICC and that rely on American servicemembers for their defense, to rein in the court. If they do not, the United States will continue its campaign to dismantle the ICC, brick by brick, until Americans are threatened no longer.Then, came the action. The sanctions were expanded again - not just to individuals and specific malign NGOs, but on the entire ICC and any business they do with any organization in (or transiting through) the United States:
* Sanctions ImplicationsNo more business is to be done with the ICC. Treasury issued a blanket 180-day authorization for all activities to encourage a diplomatic solution, but when that expires, it becomes illegal to do any business with or provide any support to the ICC. They knew it was coming. There were sob stories about sanctioned international bureaucrats running well in advance of the latest action. The Press has done its usual thing of maligning the administration's "fear of international law" and decrying the "attacks" on the ICC. The frequency of such articles was increasing throughout the summer, as insiders braced for an acceleration. Well, they got the expected acceleration. The ICC, of course, denounced the move:
As a result of today's sanctions-related actions, and subject to applicable licenses and exceptions, all property and interests in property of the ICC that are in the United States or in possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). All transactions by U.S. persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons are prohibited unless exempt or authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC, including those general licenses described above. These prohibitions include the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any blocked person and the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
"The Court cannot stand alone. Its fate now rests also in the hands of the states that created it," it said in a statement. "This is not just about defending a single institution, but about safeguarding the international order grounded upon the rule of law. History will judge this moment."Nothing about the ICC is even remotely related to the "rule of law." If it was, then it perhaps would not routinely violate its jurisdictional boundaries as it pursues its nakedly political objectives. As a delightful little sideshow to all of this, a former ICC psuedo-judge won the Nobel Peace Prize this year on the same day the new sanctions landed. It wasn't a coincidence. The Nobel committee all but cited the actions against the ICC as one of the reasons for awarding the prize (from the same article as the previous excerpt):
The Nobel Prize awarded hours earlier to South African jurist Navi Pillay, who sat on the ICC's Appeals Chamber from 2003-2008, was explicitly described by the prize committee as a gesture of support for such tribunals at a time when "judges and institutions of international law are under political attack"High-larious. And as expected, the rollout was ready. Article after article flowed about how mean Trump is for the sanctions expansion right after the great Judge won a Peace Prize! Some even went so far as to claim that the sanctions expansion is because Trump didn't win the prize. It is to laugh. But what is not a laughing matter is the continuously increasing pressure on the ICC. This organization has no right to take any action against any non-member state. The United States does not answer to The Hague, and consequences for the ICC's arrogant, disdainful overreach are long since overdue. I look forward to the ICC's full capitulation or constant stumbling as it can no longer get any money, products or services from the United States in any way. It doesn't much matter to me. The ICC needs a firm lesson in the meaning of sovereignty.

Aside: President Bill Clinton signed the Rome Statute on December 31, 2000. He did so to maintain U.S. influence over the developing procedures of the court, but he explicitly noted that the treaty had "significant flaws". He refused to submit it to the U.S. Senate for ratification until those concerns were addressed.
In May 2002, the Bush administration formally notified the United Nations that the U.S. no longer intended to ratify the treaty. The primary reason was fear of politicized, unchecked prosecutions. Washington was deeply concerned that the International Criminal Court (ICC) would attempt to assert jurisdiction over U.S. military personnel and government officials deployed globally, infringing on national sovereignty.

I had an idea he did when I heard he was going in for nodule removal but was scheduled to stay a week...a nodule removal and biopsy is an in and out procedure, not a weeklong stay.
They knew going in it was a major tissue removal requiring a lung lobe dissection and that the lump showed already in PET scans as being cancerous.

Answer: The International Criminal Court (ICC) has not punished China, as the court has determined it does not have the legal jurisdiction to investigate or prosecute the matter. Because China is not a party to the Rome Statute—the treaty that established the court—the ICC cannot investigate alleged crimes committed inside Chinese territory

"NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani has reached a deal with the City Council to shut down the city's iconic horse-drawn carriage industry, banning operations in Central Park by June 2028. The proposed
legislation, called Romanch's Law, is named after an 18-year-old tourist from India who was fatally injured when a carriage bolted and overturned in
the park. The measure would require city agencies to develop a workforce transition plan for drivers, owners and stable workers, but financial compensation is not guaranteed. PETA celebrated the agreement, while the union representing carriage drivers and owners has advocated for tougher safety rules instead of an outright ban. The City Council is scheduled to vote October 22."
Thus was never about animal cruelty. It's about the valuable land near the Javits Center, that can get developed for a ton of money once the stables are torn down.
Diblasio tried this too. I'm most annoyed it's happening during Mamdami's reign, because he and the city council are no doubt getting sweet kickbacks from this. And no one in the liberal media will investigate because he is the sainted one.

The closest thing to International 911 is to call the US and convince us to bomb the pissant country that's bombing you. I mean, the Eurofags had gotten that down to a fine art before OrangeManBad told them to bomb their own enemies, and leave us out of it. "Oh, you don't have an air force left after you spent all your money buying IPads to give away to voters so you could stay in power? Sucks to be you. That leaves us with a lot more money to spend on bombing OUR enemies."

The Euros want the power that goes with being in the first rank of countries, but they don't want to make the sacrifices that entails. The ICC is a nominal cost, nothing like the cost of an Army, Navy/Marines, and Air/Space Force, but which ideally would allow them to pretend to be in the big leagues.

Yes, that was a good political move. OTOH, the Rs were all over his administration, financially and foreign policy wise.
He leaned toward nation building. (Permanent Normal Trade Relations (PNTR) with China: First Summit with Vladimir Putin: The Camp David Summit, and more.)
Remembering the fallout from the 1993 Somalia intervention and the 1999 Kosovo bombing campaign, congressional Republicans closely scrutinized foreign military deployments, pushing to restrict prolonged American footprints in the Balkans and Africa.
The GOP-controlled Senate famously rejected the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in late 1999, setting a hard precedent that limited Clinton's multilateral environmental and non-proliferation ambitions heading into 2000.
But all-in-all, there seemed to be a good bit of reaching across the aisle and much more consideration for each party's goals.

The ancient source of international law are treaties but only for those nations signing the treaties which they can always tear up giving due notice. The secondary source of international law are accepted customs like treatment of diplomats, embassies, etc.
The modern phase began after WWII was a treaty making craze where you had all sorts of treaties covering everything. We signed all sorts of defense treaties as did the Soviets, and economic treaties, intellectual property treaties, etc.
Some just codified existing customs but a lot of them were extensions of globo homo and even aimed to suppressing domestic opposition to things like illegal migrants.
But the whole concept of international law is foreign to most of the world and they ignore these treaties as wastepaper unless some country or group of countries actually enforce them.
Waste of time and inevitably the anti west assholes end up running the institutions and start immediately trying to claim broader jurisdictions than they actually have and trying to go after states that never signed the treaties that actually allow it.

Short voyage, under escort, to Somali coast. Point the ship at the shore, set the autopilot, and lock the engine throttles at max. Let the ships run up on the beach at high tide, and strand there.

That was actually kinda brilliant, as the Frogs decided to read a map. They realized that NATO would effectively defend France from the Soviets without the Frogs having to commit to the NATO military structure, simply because W Germany was in between them. So the Frogs left the military arm of NATO but continued to participate in the political arm, giving them a say in how NATO operated.

Eh, Mustache man and his Soviet counterpart were both leftists. To them, the point of any legal claims was to confound idiots that thought it was raining while the evil duo pissed on people's legs.
And actually, if you are talking about Poland, one of the claims that original mustache man made was that the Poles were treating ethnic Germans badly in contravention of treaties. Same ploy as the Sudeten Germans in the Czech crisis. Even staged a fake and gay 'attack' by the alleged Poles against Germany as a casus belli for war.
So obvious, like most of what the ICC is doing, that a blind man could see that mustache man was laughing at the dopes thinking international law was a thing.

Netflix‘s film VP Doug Belgrad has been let go amid a massive restructuring at the streamer.
Netflix is laying off around 1,000 employees, around 6% of its workforce, in what marks the company’s largest axing to date. Most of the cuts will effect employees on the product, technology, legal and HR teams, co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters told the staff on Wednesday morning.

216 Fun news. Netflix is apparently giving up on film and refocusing on producing more series like Cuties.

I sometimes have issues with how misogynistic the "dudebro podcasters" can be, as I call them. But crowder had a good discussion on how men stepping back on parenting, either in being passive wimps or checking out altogether, has ruined boys. And how the female coddling of future delinquents with soft parenting or no parenting also is failing.

Repost from my X feed...
Had to argue with someone about Ohio early vote. Figured I'd post a summary.
Remember that in 2022, the GOP won both the Governor and Senate races, and did so easily.
In 2026 mail vote is way down, but IPEV is up a decent amount over 2022.
However, if you look at total early vote, you see the following:
Cleveland is 15% of their 2022 EV
Ohio as a whole is 16% of 2022.
Cleveland IPEV is running about 1300 per day right now. That needs to increase to 6500 per day to equal 2022 total EV. That is a 5x increase in voting per day.
Ohio IPEV is running about 38,000 per day. That needs to increase to 58,000 per day to meet the 2022 benchmark, or a 35% increase.
I'll leave it to speculation what the meaning is of one of the 5 core Democrat strongholds being 1/5th of the needed rate compared to the state as a whole being 2/3rds of the needed rate.

If you operate under the assumption that Ohio is simply a very Republican state that isn't going to materially change within the next few cycles, it becomes easier to see through the bullshit.
But, if you're hanging onto hope that the guy who lost 2 years ago as an incumbent is surging to victory this year over issues he's not even campaigning on, well, then you can see depressed black precinct turnout as not an issue because white progressives in NYC hate Husted.

As a scout leader, it is great fun to watch young people when they first learn to light matches to make a fire.
They strike the match and, if it catches, they hurriedly flick it into the fire pit as though it was radioactive. There is no thought given whatsoever as to placing it somewhere in there to actually set something afire.

The painting The Trojan Women Setting Fire to Their Fleet by Claude Lorrain depicts an event from Virgil's Aeneid, where the women of Troy, tired of wandering after the fall of their city, attempt to burn their ships to force their men to settle in Sicily. This act is spurred on by the goddess Juno, but is ultimately thwarted by divine intervention when Aeneas prays for rain to extinguish the flames.

This is probably based on the story in the Aenead that takes place well after the war. Aeneas (a Trojan) is basically sailing around endlessly, and the women try to end that by burning the ships.

They certainly had the sail, but I don't know about multiple masts and the like. Lorrain flourished in the 17th Century. So this is probably another example of "dressing the past in the fashions of the present": He painted 1600s ships because that was what he knew.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 14, 2026 09:42 AM (wzUl9)

But, just like for folks today, for whom history begins in the year 2000, so in Lorrain's day, history began about twenty-five years earlier to when he painted this.

IIRC, Aeneas was kind of a dullard. He's always asking folks -- gods, humans, Achilles in the underworld -- what he should do, and they all tell him "go to Italy." And then he merrily goes about the business of going somewhere else besides Italy. Finally, it dawns on him, "Hey, maybe I should go to Italy," and he does.
Maybe there was something I missed at the time, since I didn't read the whole thing. But that's the way I remember it.

Nope. That wasn’t something developed until at least a thousands years later. Trojan-era ships were basically flat barges powered by oars. They had maybe one simple square sail.
I don’t think even Columbus’ ships had rigging as advanced in this painting.
I saw a life size mockup of the deck of the Santa Maria in Barcelona. I was shocked at how small it was.

Washington specifically designed the long walking path towards the house, with its wooded areas to be curvy, and wind in such a way to hint at coming attractions. I did not learn about the coolness of the landscaping until after I'd visited.want to go back and experience it with that in mind. Hope you enjoy it, it's just the best. You can buy cool gardening stuff or things like lavender come mix using their own lavender in the gift shop.
Arlington is a sacred place. I get chills during the changing of the guard. If you have any relatives, it's cool to track down their graves and find them. If you have time, seeing the Lee home on the property is also cool, but not essential if you have to save time.

I had a series of interviews for this job I was recruited for. Very first call with recruiter I said I want $X TC and anything less doesn’t interest me. So if that’s not doable let’s not bother. She’s like ok that’s a bit higher than we anticipated paying but we could make it work.
Great.
4 rounds of interviews later I get an offer. It’s 15%less than $X. Turns out they could not “make it work”. So all of us wasted all this time and effort for nothing.

My team is pretty much all AI all the time now. I have not written a lot of code in a while since I’m a manager. Which sucks as a job but fuck it the money makes up for it lol. I did keep up with things for myself to not lose the skills. With AI, what’s the point? I’ll probably never write a line of code again manually.
What will happen though is people will forget how to write code. It’s like not going to the gym muscle atrophy. 10 years from now will anyone even be able to read the code AI produces? It’s a weird place we’re heading towards.

It’s a numbers thing. When you’re the only Indian family in town, you adapt and become American. When there are 100 families you form a pack that advances your group interests and you stay Indian.
That’s why early immigrants from Asia assimilated. But as they grew in numbers they stopped having to assimilate. It was easy to just be Indian in the US instead of be Americans from India.
Throw in the woke bullshit of every culture is superior to American culture indoctrination in schools and 2nd generation immigrants stop assimilating as well.

Montana has 2 seats both mainly rural. Montana doesn’t really have suburbs. There’s no spinning away having to defend Montana either in the house or senate. If Montana is in play it’s not a good sign. Trump won the state by 20 points in 2024.

Trump is going to Montana and Kansas more to seal the deal than because of worry. Some states, Trump might create issues like for Steve Hilton or Bruce Blakeman.
It is all about turnout now and I think Trump wants a smashing red wave type midterm. EV and mail in ballots so far show no sign of a blue wave and those are hard data points and this is apparent now in multiple states. Trump's rallies seem to be unique in that they actually drive turnout while most pols just have boring photo op types designed more with the audience as a backdrop.
So far, VA is one of the exceptions showing engaged Democrats but Trump might be a hindrance there because of all the laid off govt workers and contractors. Two important swing House races there. New York is another one but Blakeman in the governor's office and the awful performances of Holchul and Leticia in debates is affecting US House races there. Lawler and there are two Dems suddenly appearing in trouble there.
That is the problem with Dems, they gerrymandered for a blue wave for the midterms.

Montana’s 1st Congressional District is a tight race between Republican Aaron Flint and Democrat Sam Forstag, with recent polls showing a statistical tie. The Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball have downgraded the race from "Likely Republican" to "Lean Republican," while Silver Bulletin gives Forstag a 38.8% chance of winning.
The 2nd District is safe R.
I don't know enough about Montana politics to talk about the reasons the race is close there, but Trump having to campaign there isn't a big warning flare. He's just trying to get Republicans to actually go to the polls in a mid-term for a 2nd term president.
That's a notoriously bad time for any incumbent in the same party as the president in Congress.
Most presidents have never campaigned like Trump is right now for a mid-term.

President Trump said Alaska is very special to him because his grandfather was there a long time ago, left his mark, and the area has always been important to him.
His grandfather, Friedrich Trump, left Germany at 16, went to the Klondike Gold Rush via Alaska, and made his money running restaurants and hotels for the miners in the Yukon (not by digging for gold).
He was a rough and tumble frontier businessman, left with a fortune, and eventually settled in New York - where his son later built the family’s real-estate empire.
"They were thinking about canceling. They said, sir, you’re very busy. This is very tough. I said, where am I going? Alaska. Eight hours. You think I’d ever cancel? I don’t cancel for Alaska. I don’t cancel!" 😂
"My grandfather was up here a long time ago. I don’t know. He was great, but he had a little bit of a reputation, I will be honest, as did most of the people that came up here. 😅 He was a little rough, but he was great. They remember. He left his trail. But he was here a long time ago. A special place to me. Very important place to me."

I have never seen this in modern political history. And I saw a reason why, Trump has been extremely effective in mobilizing his voters over time since 2016-18. Probably the closest comparison would be FDR but FDR never had the kind of flak that Trump gets from teh press nor did FDR have the stamina to do what Trump has done with rallies around the US now for a decade!

The Morning Report — 10/14 /26
A Wall Street Journal report said Guilfoyle apparently asked a donor to President Donald Trump for $100,000.Sugar-tits doth protest too much, as if she were truly innocent then she wouldn't have resigned, or am I missing something? Meh she's about as Greek as Caroline Kennedy was Japanese. Still, considering the media's penchant to destroy President Trump and the MAGA movement especially with the midterms really just around the corner, and with the heat being turned up on the freakshow candidates of the Democrats that, please God, might actually result in their absolute drubbing at the polls, instead of a much ballyhooed Blue wave. In any case, if Guilfoyle were part of a Democrat administration, everyone would've lined up to defend her shouting Right Wing hit job from the rooftops, which with extremely rare exception is something that we never do, the shampeachments against Trump notwithstanding, and even then the GOP usually bends over and grabs its ankles. But the Left, unless they have no alternative or it's political expediency, will defend their own to the hilt. But that said, as CBD stated and I agreed if as it certainly seems Guilfoyle is a crooked grifter, then good riddance to bad rubbish. Regardless of party, the crooks must be expunged with extreme prejudice. And with that we shall see what becomes of the Brother-Focker Ilhan Omar. Given her melanin -content, hormones and Islam I have strong doubts she suffers little more than a wrist-slap.
. . . I also want to address the recent allegations against me. These allegations are false, and I intend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, and my integrity. I have dedicated my professional life to fighting for justice, standing up for what is right, and defending the values that make America exceptional. I will not allow false accusations to define my decades of public service.
And speaking of political expediency and Gavin Newsom (Guilfoyle was his receptacle for a while, before she ultimately wound up on the receiving end of the attentions of one of Trump's non-Barron sons), well of all the things to happen in California this is the last thing I expected.
The state of California is building its first new steel mill in more than 50 years, on a 174-acre site in Kern County, roughly 70 miles southeast of Bakersfield. . . Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office released a statement saying, “This project will bring steel manufacturing back to the Golden State and localize the supply chain – supporting a transition to clean, in-state manufacturing of materials essential for public infrastructure like roads, bridges and hospitals.” The construction of the new mill is surprising to many, considering the state’s Democrat lawmakers and residents lean more toward green energy over that produced by fossil fuel.While this is certainly a good thing for California and the American economy in general, you can bet your sweet ass Newsom is only allowing this to go forward as a means to burnish his extemely tarnished image as the governor of a failed state whose policies over his tenure smothered its economy. I can only imagine that there are a shit-ton of caveats and red tape in the agreement, and some time down the road the California's EPA will shut the mill down of its own volition or due to the pressure from the Enviro-Communists. But, regardless of the how and why of this miracle, let a thousand steel mills blossom all across the fruited plain. And speaking of the communists and their temporary, enemy-of-my-enemy is my friend, allies of convenience Muslims...
As writer John Daniel Davidson recently argued, the current riots in France illustrate yet again the alliance of Islamists and communists, or the Red-Green Alliance: “This is the Red-Green alliance of the socialist/Antifa left and Muslim immigrants, operationalized to bring the country to its knees through widespread rioting ahead of national elections next year.” Despite their many differences, the two groups have united “to tear down western institutions and the Christian faith on which they were built.”If we are conquered, my only consolation is hoping to survive long enough to see the Muslims behead the Democrat-Leftists en masse before I draw my last breath. Until then, we still have to deal with this shit:
If history and theology are any guide, there is even more uniting these two factions. Davidson correctly points that “on issues like women’s rights, transgenderism, gay marriage and the sexual revolution in general, [Islamists and radical leftists] are not aligned.” But these differences are mere window dressing to their core similarities: spreading their ideology through aggression and confiscating the wealth of others.
These two principles are fairly well known as features of communism, but most Westerners have been conditioned not to associate them with Islam. Nearly all Western schools, underfunded or otherwise, have done their utmost to obscure the fact that Islam was spread by the sword as well as by theft. As historian Raymond Ibrahim details in his classic history Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War Between Islam and the West, starting with the Prophet Muhammad and continuing with his many successors, Muslim armies would invade, pillage, terrorize, and enslave neighboring kingdoms, forcing their populations to submit to Allah, face martyrdom, or live as second-class citizens (dhimmis).
For months now, almost every time a Democrat has been asked by someone in the media about the far-out views of a candidate who is part of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), we have heard about how their party is a ‘big tent.’ This simply doesn’t cut it because what they are saying is that their tent is big enough for someone who wants to defund the police or promote the gender transition of minors, but not big enough for anyone who wants to enforce our immigration laws or protect the gun rights of law-abiding citizens. DNC Chairman Ken Martin is still using this talking point, less than a month before the midterms. Democrat Party Chair Ken Martin embraces far-Left radicals who want to abolish the police, prisons, and borders: “I’ve always taken a big tent approach…we have to keep growing and we have to keep expanding this tent.” pic.twitter.com/VEWXZhPJTZI sure as hell do. And there is only one way to deal with this problem, IYKWIMAITYD As for that lead item, I have it there not only for the shock and revulsion value, but it reminded me of something that my sainted grandmother of blessed memory said regarding the lineage of the perpetrator, that I best not write here for obvious reasons. On that and all the other chazarei and madness of the links, I bid you all to nevertheless have a good day.

Minnesota's US Senate race is D+1. If Democrats are winning by one in Minnesota, there is not a Blunami.
That's polling though, and polling sucks. So let's look at actual voter data.
Dems and black voters (BIRM) are simply not voting in the numbers needed to build a Blunami.
Will they win the House? Probably. But they'll lose Senate races in ME, MI, TX, OH, and maybe NC (but I wouldn't bet on NC).
They'd have to win every single one of those to flip the Senate.
Two years of shrieking insanity out of the House with no result whatsoever, continued massive deportations (ICE is funded until 2029), and continued judicial appointments through the Senate is probably the best case scenario for us going into 2028 - where the real victory can be won, as whoever controls the Executive for the 2030 Census is going to have a LOT of input on what America looks like for a generation.

I'm optimistic but not certain that we'll get a Red Wave in most places. For me, the polls showing Talarico with a chance to win in Texas are a tell that Media is pushing Fake News. I expect Blakeman to win the NY Governorship after Hochul's Cornell Gambit fails.

Talk to me like I'm a 5 year old. Wouldn't the federal gov't have all necessary immigration papers originally submitted by this odious family of usurpers? What could BroFo actually possess at her home that might shed light on fraud?
I was hoping this was tied to the glaring fraud that she and her "community" have committed, along with the immigration thing. I dunno...maybe I'm not understanding what they could be looking for that the gov't doesn't already possess if this just relates to immigration. I guess there's something there or the judge wouldn't have signed off on the warrant.

El-Sayed commercial airing on Detroit TV. A mother tells how a 'terrorist' went into her child's school looking to kill as many kids as possible.
There's an ABC story for authenticity shown. She says this guy just wanted to kill kids and El-Sayed's response was "Hurt people hurt people."
She says she's a Democrat voting for Mike Rogers and El-Sayed should NEVER be Michigan's senator. Beautiful devastating ad. Abdul may only hit 35% of the real vote.

Upbringing in part, yes, but also quite probably a low IQ and high impulsivity. There was always crime in black communities. See the old song "Stagger Lee," describing a shooting in revenge for a loss at dice. The difference then was that the criminality was generally confined to black neighborhoods.
Yes, the black community had its own businesses, and out-of-wedlock births were lower before the Great Society. LBJ simply let it run loose. With welfare and food stamps, there was less incentive to start businesses.

DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said yesterday during an interview on Fox that her office is running a separate investigation from HSI and her investigation is focused on the fraud in Minnesota.
If you remember a number of months ago Omar's reported net worth jumped from around $200,000 to $30,000,000 in one month and then when she started getting asked about it she claimed it was an accounting error and the next month it dropped back to the $200k range.

Good question. Depends on which overlords are in power, I suppose - if the tech-worshippers are dominant, they'll point at the illegal CDL deaths, or some other not-quite-relevant statistic, and say, "It's better than that!". If the luddites are dominant, "if it saves just one life, it's worth it" and they'll turn the first useful-looking death into a call to riot and ban.
As for myself, I don't think we're anywhere near ready for driverless long-haul trucking. Maybe driverless 'follow-the-leader' pods trailing a 'human-overseer' truck, but as long as crazy human drivers are on the same road, as long as sinkholes can form without warning, as long as animals can wander onto the highway... you can't have mere 'known patterns' image recognition as the guiding intelligence. All these demos seem to assume every remaining human driver on the road are sane, and that's a big freakin assumption!

That distinction is likely enough to stop some of it, at least. Will it stop all of it? Of course not. They're liars and cheats as a species, but it will stop some with a lower risk tolerance. The minion rank and file, for example, aren't big enough to get protected the way Omar is going to be protected. And as protected as she is, the Process Is The Punishment, even so.

I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.
I come from your future.
In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream. . .
The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe. . .
Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?
Trust me. You don’t want to be France.
Wish this could be blasted at the Demovrat voters.

They also stole the senate seat that John James won. I think 4 senate seats were stolen that election. Warnock and Ossoff both “won” by fraud that year, since there was a special election. IIRC?

I've seen speculation that it includes the Feeding Our Future fraud, which includes Omar (who created the program) and her sister, who created an NGO that's received hundreds of millions in USAID funding (and from other organizations, such as the UN).
The $30 valuation of the vineyard (or whatever) was likely a money laundering move to hide money she pilfered from govt. programs.

Aimee Bock was sentenced to 41.6 years in prison on May 21, 2026.
She ran Feeding Our Future and was described by U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel as the “epicenter” of a “vortex of fraud.” Bock was found responsible for the $242 million in federal government fraud that Feeding Our Future committed in 2020 and 2021. Bock’s sentence is likely the second-highest in state history for a white collar crime case. Tom Petters, the investor who stole $2 billion in a Ponzi scheme, still tops that list. He’s currently serving a 50-year prison sentence.

"Sahra Noor's Grit Partners was incorporated at an address on Hyacinth Ave belonging to Ister Afraa. Afraa worked directly with Sahra Nur, who ran the fake catering company that the various Feeding Our Future nonprofits used to give the feds fake receipts,"

Lose your status and you go STRAIGHT into deportation proceedings

Duck faced woman scorned is worse than a regular lipped woman scorned. I'm sure him breaking up after she got a ring was devastating.
I think her revenge got her to Greece. Out of sight, out of mind until she wasn't. Read last night that a future pardon from President Trump might simmer her down from spewing stories. We'll see.
I don't know anyone who has deformed their mouth as badly as she has in life. If her mouth is closed, and not in a big baboon grin, it gives her a resting beetch face.
Don't know what she looked like prior to basically putting discs in her lips, but this has done her no favors and they are not bouncing back from this deformity.
Look at Goldie Hawn currently, who did similar. Unless airbrushed off the photo with filters, I'm not sure I'd recognize her. Plus the severe sun damage, but I won't get into that.

- Ledger "hardware wallets" are basically physical versions of the common blockchain software wallets. The security is offered because the device can be locked in a vault. There's no password to be forgotten or stolen, so they're often used by larger investors.
So a reseller in Malaysia started embedding LTE chips - smartphone modems - inside them. (Tom's Hardware)
And stole $93 million worth of Bitcoin.

- Meanwhile the password for the Danish national registry, holding the personal data of more people than actually live in Denmark, was reportedly 123456. (Tom's Hardware)
Oops.
- Meanwhile AI company Anthropic got hacked, partly in the good old fashioned way, partly in the new and stupid way. (SF Standard)
Good old fashioned part: Plugging a microphone into the USB port of the television in the executive conference room.
New and stupid part: The spy used AI chatbots to plan the caper, logging in with his own personal account.
- A Pantone colour book from the 17th century. (Open Culture)
You can download a copy yourself - which makes it useless because the entire reason Pantone chips are physical objects is to check against the colour representation of devices like printers and computer displays, which had even more variability 300 years ago.

We actually had to make something similar to this when I was taking design (color theory) classes in college.
Except it was a large 'Color Wheel' we had to make with primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, and then below it we had to take colors and shade them or lighten them for different hues.
I hated that assignment.

Yesterday, though, a maintenance guy showed up and swapped them out. These are mounted *outside* the window recess, hanging just inside my drapes. They have the twist stick to change their orientation, but no cord to raise or lower them. I wonder if they are the kind you pull down or pull up some way?

Looking for some clean river water? We've got you covered! The Cleanest Rivers In America
Park Service crews pull water out of the Merced River in Yosemite and test it for bacteria, nutrients, and petroleum. They do the same in Glacier, on the North Fork of the Flathead. Idaho's regulators keep an eye on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. Maine checks the bugs living on the bottom of the Machias. Year after year, the results come back the same. These ten rivers are as clean as they look. Far northern California gives the Smith River an unusually good water-quality record. A US Geological Survey assessment described its water as excellent and generally within objectives established for beneficial uses. California's 2026 Integrated Report adds a recent measure. Across 257 dissolved-oxygen samples in the Smith River estuary, none fell below the applicable warm-water habitat threshold. *** The Middle Fork Salmon spends roughly 100 miles inside the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, and Idaho's Department of Environmental Quality describes its watershed as essentially one of the most pristine in the state. The river was included in the original Wild and Scenic Rivers system in 1968. Federal management has kept development scarce along much of its corridor. A multi-day float can run for hours beneath steep canyon walls before reaching another developed site. Hot springs emerge beside parts of the route, while quiet beaches offer breaks between stretches of fast water. Idaho has approved temperature TMDLs for several tributaries where reduced streamside shade contributes to warming. The main river remains in much stronger condition. Few large American rivers combine this much protected land with so little settlement along the water itself, and the state's assessment reflects that advantage.Hit the link for more

And I'm not sure why we got pickle corndogs. I've never seen one, though I assume they're available at the state fair. DDGAI says they originated in Cali, though.
And New Hampster must be boring. Apple Cider Donuts are not a weird food. They're pretty good.

NH- Apple cider doughnuts is not a strange food. Dunkin even does them in Mass.
MD- I've heard of BBQ Muskrat up in the DelMarVa area. Never tried it....
Question: Roadkill in Montana. Actual killed animals picked up on the roadway (because that's not so rare in most states) or is that the name of some dish they make?

When I was stationed in Sinop we had a young black female lieutenant get assigned to the unit. A nice enough young lady, if not particularly bright...what lieutenant is? I've no idea how she did it but her mom sent her the making for chitlins. (And this is Turkey, a very muzzie country). So she puts them in a pot in the little officers mess we hung around at, and forgot about them. Several.days later the stench was incredible. The colonel threw them out. Apparently this was some major cultural faux pas and she was in tears. Who the fu*k knew this was how you fix chitlins?

My husband stopped and shot that deer to relieve it's misery.

But, good meat in the freezer. People need to be more mindful as to hitting a critter. At least put the poor thing out of its misery...

Fritos were first marketed on March 27, 1932
Background
Doolin purchased a corn chip recipe and equipment from Gustavo Olguin, a local vendor, for $100. He began producing Fritos in his family's kitchen and later expanded operations as demand grew. The Frito Company became known for its unique corn chips, which were made by deep-frying extruded whole cornmeal.
Evolution of the Brand
Merger: In 1961, the Frito Company merged with H.W. Lay & Company to form Frito-Lay. (who degraded the recipe)
Acquisition: Frito-Lay was later acquired by Pepsi-Cola in 1965, becoming part of PepsiCo. (who screwed the recipe to the wall)

The crust is a cooked rice pudding with added rice flour to make it a solid, the filling is a custard from almond flour, wheat flour, half and half milk, egg, sugar and persimmon pulp and baking powder. I cooked the rice pudding first to make the crust, and filled it with the custard.
It is not bad! The extra moisture from the custard was sucked into the rice pudding and made that more tender.

The crust is a cooked rice pudding with added rice flour to make it a solid, the filling is a custard from almond flour, wheat flour, half and half milk, egg, sugar and persimmon pulp and baking powder. I cooked the rice pudding first to make the crust, and filled it with the custard.
It is not bad! The extra moisture from the custard was sucked into the rice pudding and made that more tender.

Yeah, worst dinner choice we had on Saturdays was liver or tripe. We kids opted for liver, and poured half a bottle of ketchup on it to choke it down. Ma and dad made themselves tripe, in a light marinara sauce.
One day, for reasons unknown to this day, that tripe looked good to me, and I tried it. Buttery texture with a rich, beefy hit on the palate. Still can't bring myself to cook it, and it's kind of pricey. Saw it on a dim sum menu once and was all over it..

Liver is pretty much the most nutritious part of the cow. Mom's were encouraged to serve it because it had all the nutrients kids needed. If cooked badly it is bitter. I love chicken livers fried in butter. I used to eat them in tacos with melted cheddar and cottage cheese.

Highs will go from 87 to 67, and lows will be around 50 degrees.
You may want to pack for both warm and cold,raw weather. At this time, it appears this may be a dry front.

Over the years I've had tripe prepared several ways, and mom's marinara would be my recommendation for an entry level experience. I've gotten that protein taste you reference when I ordered tacos tripas. Just had to pile on the pickled jalapenos.
Undercooked tripe is rubbery. Honeycomb tripe, parboiled for about 15 minutes, then simmered in fresh salted water for 1 to 1.5 hours, will give you the best result.

She then called 911 to ask for advice on how to find the right vein to puncture, stating she needed help dying, according to police.
My husband and son are already gone in the bed in the living room,” she reportedly told emergency services. “They’re already gone, I’m sorry.”
The twisted mother had stabbed both victims in the chest and attempted to puncture her own neck, police alleged in an affidavit.

Probably both. Apparently, once Trump is in situ, the route to and from cannot be compromised, meaning no busses in and out. Ridiculous. At the very least, they should have counted people. At a reasonable level, they should have had somewhere for people to get warm. Nobody who had tickets expected to spend 6+ hours standing around in 40 degree weather. Frankly, I am amazed more people didn't need emergency treatment.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church and Canon Law clearly state that capitol punishment is licit if the person subject to it remains a threat to life and limb. This asshole clearly intends to continue his jihad. These archbishops and others are not in alignment with Church doctrine on this matter.

I've seen people complaining about Trump rallies before being disorganized and overbooked.
This kind of thing tends to happen when you throw together a rally in the space of a few weeks.
I think the overbooking happens because they want to make sure the seats are all filled to the max, but they also know a certain percentage of people won't show up even if they get tickets. So they have to guess on what kind of crowd they're going to get and often guess completely wrong.

She might've had that idea in her head.
And she had a plan.
Carried out half of it, and then realized it's a lot easier to think about killing yourself than actually doing it.
I know if I was so far off the edge that I'd killed the two most important people in my life for no reason that I'd probably be nutty enough to take myself out afterwards.

Dogs Making Friends Cafe
A Moonlit Lane
by John Atkinson Grimshaw, 1874
Dog action photography. Sex sells. Zoo animals discover snow. You don't meet a lot of people who would rescue an orphaned wild rat. Animal control took her puppies away when she was out foraging for food. But people notice the mama dog seemed distressed, and reunited her with the puppies at a foster home. Old time TV shows collide with each other as Mannix holds Jack Tripper at gunpoint on the Brady Bunch living room set. A young camel was ostracized by other animals because he's just too weird-looking. Can he make a friend? Tolkein's pitch for Fellowship of the Ring. Best in Show. Lion and dachshunds are best friends. Neighbor's dog decides he'd rather live with the family next door. Instead of chasing off a burglar, this dog brought him his toy and asked for pets. He's no criminal, though -- he also brought his toy to the cops as they broke into the house to arrest the thief.
James Lucas
@JamesLucasIT That moonlight isn't real. Every drop of it is oil paint... It's called A Moonlit Lane, and it was painted by John Atkinson Grimshaw in 1874. A full moon hangs behind bare, tangled branches, the road below still wet from the rain, and every puddle and wall and dark hedge holds a little of that cold silver light. You can almost feel the chill in the air and hear the silence of the street... The man who painted it was born in a cramped terraced house in Leeds, worked as a clerk for the railway, and taught himself almost everything he knew. At twenty-four, to his parents' horror, he quit his job to paint. He even borrowed from photography, projecting scenes onto his canvas with lenses, and some of his contemporaries sneered that the results showed no marks of handling or brushwork, as if that were a flaw rather than an artistic miracle... But the painter who mattered most saw it differently: James McNeill Whistler, the man famous for his own night paintings, came to visit him and admitted: "I considered myself the inventor of nocturnes until I saw Grimmy's moonlit pictures."

yet, almost daily I see news articles saying exactly the opposite.

I don't know if someone already mentioned this, but what squared the circle for me was the detail that Democrats were only ahead of Republicans on Day 1, with a big drop-off. So they efficiently mobilized to produce numbers for the Democrat Activists With Bylines to dutifully tout, but it was a mirage caused by front-loading their early voters, not producing new ones.

There wasn't much sex of any kind in Tolkien, other than the Túrin and Niënor incest incident in The Silmarillion -- and that wasn't explicit by any means.
For those who haven't read it, Túrin and Niënor, brother and sister, unwittingly banged each other, leading to the Bad Things that incest always leads to in mythology, even if it was accidental -- this wasn't done intentionally so that Túrin could get a Green Card.

They know, don't they? A suitcase means "Oh, no! My servant is going away!", but it's not as disturbing as the porta-kennels, which mean "Oh, no! I'm going to the vet!"
I learned ago to get the kennel out several days ahead of time, because the critters would hide out as soon as it made its appearance.

Heh! I just cleaned out a little wheelie bag I plan to use for carry-on, since it meets the size spec. It was full of fractured plastic from some divider beneath the zippered lining. I shook out what I could, and blew it clean with compressed air. The wheelie function still works.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.
The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.
The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

The amount of resent she would display would have a perfect negative correlation with your income.
Average Joe: she'd try to get him banned from the gym.
Guy who showed up in a brand new pimped-out Benz: he could ask if she did "sodomizing dead transgendered sheep stuff" without her taking the slightest bit of offense.
No one believes that women wear those to the gym "for themselves", or that they're somehow "more comfortable". Not even other women.
Actual comfort would involve a loose t-shirt and loose shorts. You know, the same type of stuff the non-gay guys wear.
"For themselves"? No one even knows what that means. It's a semantically null statement.

I am not convinced that BRICS had enough volume in their economies to take over the reserve currency position, even with all the countries pooling their national capital. What BRICS was good at would have been to take over the foreign exchange position for the Global South and otherwheres and they even turned out a "global pass" type credit card that was essentially a show piece for the central banks' method of settlement between the members.
This would have seriously affected the interest rates of the Treasuries since there would have been less demand for them, and the interest for future Tbills would go up.
BRICS would not have been an issue if Obama hadn't decided to get cute by cutting Russia out of SWIFT

The thing about BRICS is that it is a basket of currencies not any one state and there were no rules about adding more until it became enough. And it didn't have to be a majority, just enough to upset the dollar's dominance and create multiple reserve currencies and chaos.
As much as we hear bitching about our current situation and affordability if we lose reserve status things will really go pear shape. The average US citizen lives far better than our peers around the world even if the media would have us believe otherwise. And if we ever lose that status getting it back will be near impossible.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's Mother Was an Active Member of the Muslim Brotherhood In College
Abdul El-Sayed's mother--whom the left-wing Michigan Senate candidate has described as "smart, warm, charismatic" and whom he called on camera in a May campaign video--was active in the Muslim Brotherhood while in college in Egypt, a revelation that further contradicts El-Sayed's recent claims that neither he nor his family have ties to the radical Islamist group. Eman Abdelhadi, a University of Chicago professor and El-Sayed's half-sister, wrote about her mother and other family members' ties to the Muslim Brotherhood in social media posts in June 2012, just after Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi was elected president of Egypt. "Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college," wrote Abdelhadi, who is five years younger than El-Sayed and has a different father. Their mother, Fatten Elkomy, is a nurse in Missouri who attended Alexandria University, one of the largest universities in Egypt. The school was known as a hub of Muslim Brotherhood activity in the 1970s, according to a 2012 report from the Brookings Institution, which noted that "the Muslim Brothers dominated the Islamic Group at Alexandria University" at the time. El-Sayed himself recounted his mother's campus activism in his book, Healing Politics, writing that she was a "leader on campus" but omitting any mention of the Muslim Brotherhood. A 2012 Columbia Medicine Magazine alumni profile of El-Sayed notes that El-Sayed's mother "studied medicine" in "Alexandria, Egypt" and was an outspoken opponent of military rule in the country, which was briefly interrupted by the election of Morsi. El-Sayed signed a 2012 statement identifying himself as part of a group of "Morsi Supporters in America," the Washington Free Beacon reported.She did not ask any follow-ups. She did not read his sister's words to him, in which his sister identified his mother as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
... The revelation of Elkomy's role as a Muslim Brotherhood campus activist comes as El-Sayed denies any ties to the Islamist group, which spawned Hamas in Gaza in the 1980s. In a Sunday Meet the Press appearance, El-Sayed said neither he nor his family have connections to the Brotherhood. "You don't have any ties, and your family doesn't?" NBC's Kristen Welker asked. "No," El-Sayed said twice.
His father seems to be Muslim Brotherhood, too, although no one is on record saying so:
But Abdelhadi, who was arrested for assaulting a police officer during an anti-ICE rally in Chicago last year, has repeatedly discussed her family's ties to the Brotherhood, the Free Beacon reported. "My family has long been MB," she wrote on June 24, 2012. "I have had family jailed for being a part of it," she wrote on July 3, 2013. "Praying for all my family that supports the #MB in Egypt. Lie low, stay safe" she said. El-Sayed has faced intense scrutiny over his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood from his Republican opponent, former congressman Mike Rogers.
Kristin Welker did not question Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's deep family connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. She did instead what all left-wing "journalistic" activists do, give him an easy opportunity to deny the facts without any push-back that might cause him discomfort.
It is unclear whether El-Sayed's father, Mohamed, has any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. According to El-Sayed, his father studied and taught at Alexandria University until leaving the school in 1978. El-Sayed wrote that his dad "had to leave" Egypt over his "political agitation" against Egyptian military rule. El-Sayed has also said his father left Egypt because he believed "he could express his religion in America better than he could in Egypt at the time."
She was allowed to "moderate" presidential debates. Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's terrorist and communist wingman Hasan Piker has a long history of attacking the very idea of democracy, instead favoring sharia law and communist tyranny, left-wing liberal Jonathan Chait reports.
NBC White House correspondent Kristen Welker asked El-Sayed about allegations his family has connections to the Islamic group. El-Sayed denied any such connections twice in the interview with one-word responses. Welker asked no follow-up questions on the issue and moved on to other issues.
A black female comedienne -- I think -- embarrassed Piker by asking him about his Champagne Socialism. Worth the watch.
As I prepared for the interview by researching his commentary, I realized that Piker is right to complain that the handful of frequently repeated controversial statements fail to accurately represent his worldview. In fact, it's much worse than those quotes suggest. The most important problem with inviting Piker to join the pro-democracy coalition is that, by any reasonable definition of the term, he does not believe in democracy.
Recommended Reading Piker declared at a debate this year, "I say we put the power back in the hands of the many rather than the power in the hands of the few. If a dictatorship is inevitable, I'd rather have it be a dictatorship of the proletariat than one that is designed around the needs of the bourgeois class." On his Twitch stream he has said: "I love Lenin. I love Fidel Castro. And I love Che Guevara. They are genuinely fucking heroes." When asked to cite an example of socialism that he admires, Piker replied, "China is probably the closest," while conceding that "there are still plenty of failures within the Chinese system." Although he cites China's economic model, rather than its single-party Communist regime, as the source of his admiration, other countries have exhibited the same rapid industrialization without attracting Piker's fawning praise. He has dismissed Mao's campaign of mass terror as mere mistakes. "Do I believe that it was intentional? No, I don't believe that it was intentional." In fact, as the Brookings scholar Kenneth Lieberthal, who has taught a course on China under communism at the University of Michigan, told me, "Mao never shied away from violence among Chinese civilians to achieve his goals, and he never expressed regret for any deaths that occurred as a result of his initiatives." Piker has extensively praised economic development in North Korea, a country that he has acknowledged engages in repression, while maintaining that "it's certainly not as bad as the way that Western media presents it." In one segment marveling at economic development in the Stalinist kingdom, where even the slightest acts of dissent are met with confinement and torture, he said, "It is fucking mind-boggling to me that a country so fucking poor and so distraught, a country that withstood a fucking genocide, could get to this level, dude. Like, how does this not make you mad as an American citizen? How does this not fucking piss you off, where you look at this shit and you're like, if they can do it, why the fuck can't we?" Piker concluded by saying that North Korea's achievement "shows you that a better future is possible for all of us." ... In one especially revealing episode, he attacked a refugee from Vietnam. Piker's stream typically includes snippets of videos that he and his audience watch together, interspersed with his own commentary. As the video showed the refugee saying "We have endured suffering under the Communist regime," he threw back his head in disbelief and began to rant: "Okay, fuck you, dude. I mean seriously, fuck you, old lady. Shut the fuck up, you stupid fucking idiotic old lady with your stupid fucking gamer headest. Who has fucked you harder, America or fuckin' Ho Chi Minh? Suck my dick, old lady. Goddamn, dude. Fuck this refugee."

Meanwhile, you just get shrugs if you mention that Woodrow Wilson featured it in the White House theater.
Problem is is that their people follow them through all the blow-offs and manipulation.
In fact, from experience, it seems that if a Dem was not impressed by the above Wilson factoid this week. He probably wouldn't remember it next week. Just because they blow something off, doesn't mean they will remember that you ever told them that.

With Duke, Dems were still saying "Once KKK, always KKK". Even with Byrd already accepted.

Hmmmm, what else happened in 1978? Oh yeah, the Camp David Accords. Which freaked out the Palesimians and Arabs so much that they tried to isolate Egypt from the rest of the Arab/mohammedan world. And eventually the MB talked the Islamic Jihad organization savages into assassinating Anwar Sadat a few years later specifically because he made peace with the Jews.

Cincinnati News reported:
US-owned steel plant with a plant in Middletown OH begins mass layoffs amid Trump tariffs:
In a memo sent by Cleveland-Cliffs to workers, the company explicitly linked the move to Trump's steel tariffs on Canada, which it said had "significantly shrunk the market" for its products.
Goldberg obviously only read the tweet and responded:
Maybe the tariffs were stupid all along?
If he'd read the story, he would have discovered the company is shutting down a Canadian plant and expanding operations in the US.

There are legitimate reasons to have them online.
Remote temp monitoring and adjustment across many stores. Scheduling defrost. Diagnostics. Predictive maintenance. Centralized info for technicians.
If you have a refrigerator that's having temp swings, you can dispatch a tech. In an old school on or off system, you'd have to rely on a product stocker or store employee to notice the problem. Good luck getting that info in a timely manner.

I thought it was pretty original, myself. But since somebody mentioned a novel about aliens shrinking our sun, it could be argued to be a wrinkle on that.
All the same, there are plenty of premises that are sort of on-boarded onto a SF story as a package.
It could be FTL and it could be Cryo-sleep. The only other thing would be Near Space for a space-flung SF.

I don't know if someone already mentioned this, but what squared the circle for me was the detail that Democrats were only ahead of Republicans on Day 1, with a big drop-off. So they efficiently mobilized to produce numbers for the Democrat Activists With Bylines to dutifully tout, but it was a mirage caused by front-loading their early voters, not producing new ones.
