This is going to shock you, but Ketanji Brown-Jackson writes Supreme Court opinions like she's a six-year-old girl who just logged into twitter.
Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine
@NYT is still lying about the Laptop From Hell, to excuse the fact they failed to cover the story. This time, the so-called paper of record claims that it was the loathsome Miles Guo who first published material from Hunter Biden's laptop. False. The @nypost first published that material on October 14, 2020. Guo's sleazy G-News subsequently ran material from the laptop - along with faked photos that were not on the laptop. I often wondered if Guo ran the fake photos deliberately to discredit the laptop because he mixed in the same circles as Hunter's Chinese pals and was worried he would be found out.

@NewYorker Israel's ban on Palestinian workers has left families hungry and parents unable to pay for their children's school fees. Still, the ban is being justified in the name of security, and shows no signs of abating.
Katie PavlichThe New York Times freaks out over Republican women having babies while Democrat women abort theirs.
@KatiePavlich Israel is a sovereign country and Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank have zero right to work in that country - especially after Israelis who lived on the border with Gaza invited Palestinians into their homes to work and break bread. Gaza Palestinians returned the favor by taking notes about where safe rooms were, layouts of the homes, if there were dogs, etc. in plans for their ultimate slaughter, pillaging and rape on October 7. Dozens of Americans were murdered at the NOVA peace festival down the road. So yeah, they're not allowed to work in Israel anymore. Maybe you should be asking the governments of Gaza and the West Bank to foster economies that benefit their people so they don't have to go work in the country next door.
This isn't pregnancy. It's a political plot. A full-blown, unhinged conspiracy orchestrated by the MAGA movement to take over the hearts, minds and uteruses of gestating people all over the nation, one bassinet, one burp, one stretch mark at a time. The New York Times has cracked the code. It's Pulitzer time, baby! In an investigation masquerading as a style piece, the Paper of Record published an unglued commentary, researched with the self-seriousness of Watergate, revealing that a whopping three women connected to the White House are preggers. At the same time! That Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Katie Miller, the wife of White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller and Second Lady Usha Vance should all be on the nest simultaneously isn't just a happy mini baby boom. It is -- according to the Times -- a pernicious "Handmaid's Tale"-style political plot promoting conservative child-making frenzy in an age of declining birthrates and the collapse of the Democratic Party in middle America. It's a cautionary fable, a warning that the dreaded GOP's steady rate of reproduction amid a Democratic baby drought poses a dire threat to the nation. According to the Gray Lady (now Gray Female-Identifying Newspaper) Republicans are planning to win support and ever-greater numbers of adherents by growing their own voters. One infant at a time. It's all laid out in the piece entitled "The Politics and Power of the Pregnancy Image." In it, Times chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman writes: "That three such prominent women in the MAGA movement were pregnant at pretty much the same time was, indubitably, a coincidence." Or maybe not. "But" -- there's always a "but" -- "for an administration that has such an intuitive and strategic understanding of the power of aesthetics that an unspoken dress code in which men outfit themselves in the image of the president has developed, it has also become a telling one," Friedman froths. "Together, the women have created a notably consistent, and somewhat paradigm-shifting, picture of the White House's family and fertility platform."

Stupid NYT. Do they think they coordinated their ovulation times and nights of romance??
When I was a jr. associate, tin my class of about 20 lawyers (probably 12 women?) there were 4 of us pregnant at the same time, and 3 more pregnant in the class ahead of me. We all were due within 2 months of each other. We lined up for a picture of all of our protruding bellies, which I still have.
When there are more than a few married women between 25 and 39 and in your workforce, the odds of several of them being pregnant at the same time seem pretty high.

OUT: Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Socialists, Just Liberals
IN: New Media Propaganda That Democrats Aren't Communists, Just Socialists
Given that you lied for 70 years about Democrats' strong affinity for creeping socialism, you don't really have much credibility now that you admit they've been socialists all along but defenitely!!! aren't Slowly Boiling Frogs communists, do you?
Axios:GOP reboots the Red Scare as young Democrats embrace socialism "Red scare." LOL, we're just making it up, huh, Axios? Where do we get these crazy ideas from? Just pure gaslighting.
I have little use for Steve Bannon but he's basically right. Yes, the op goes back that far. "These aren't the communists in the State Department you're looking for." As the communist's left favorite two-step deceit always goes: CLAIM 1: There are no communists in the State Department When Claim 1 falls, go to the back-up: CLAIM 2: Well yes there are communists in the State Department but it's no big deal! You see this two-step all the time. "Of course Democrats aren't grooming kids to be transgender"/"Of course Democrats are encouraging children to find their true sexual selves, as they should!!!"
70 years after the Red Scare and 35 years after the fall of the Soviet Union, President Trump and Republicans are trying to re-introduce a national fear of "godless communists" ahead of the critical midterms. Why it matters: A wave of resounding victories by Democratic Socialists has the GOP trotting out a message that last worked when most of those candidates weren't even born. It's too soon to know if the message is working -- but Trump and Republican strategists see an opening with voters old enough to remember Soviet-era nuclear drills and spy dramas. The big picture: Former Trump aide Steve Bannon has argued for years that former Wisconsin Sen. Joe McCarthy was right about communism's widespread infiltration into the U.S. government.
Well yes, especially now that the would-be Pan-Communist Empire has fused with the Pan-Islamist Empire.
On Sunday, Trump called communism "the Greatest Threat to our Country since World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11!"
Once a fringe view, now right-wing voices seem to be calling for a McCarthyism revival.In other words: It's so strange that now that Democrats are admitting to being communists, people are once again announcing themselves as communist-opponents!
What they're saying: "It's a common electoral strategy for conservatives to attack liberals, progressives, democratic socialists as communists, and imply therefore that they are much more extreme than they actually are," Kathryn Olmsted, a U.C. Davis distinguished professor of history, tells Axios. But, she adds, "we're definitely reaching a new fever pitch."Keep in mind the media has denied for 70 years that Democrats were socialists. Now that the Democrat Socialists have taken over the Democrat Party, they say of course they're socialists, but that's a good thing!
Reality check: Democratic socialism is not communism. New York's Zohran Mamdani and Washington, D.C., mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George both call for expanded government programs, Axios' Josephine Walker writes. "Any attempt to smear us as 'extremists' falls flat when so many Americans are struggling with the rising cost of housing, homelessness, unaffordable healthcare, and underfunded schools," a DSA spokesperson told Axios in a statement. Still, Democrats are grappling with what it means for progressives and young Americans embracing labels that once stoked fears of communism. Between the lines: Red-baiting "has much less resonance for a younger generation, which did not grow up living under the shadow of the Soviet Union," says Ethan Porter, co-director of GW's Institute for Data, Democracy and Politics. "For many young voters, communism is just not an effective boogeyman."We know, because they've embraced communism.

The Democrats don't really want communism. That is, they are not interested in the government owning the means of production. They don't want government to claim ownership of all the farms and factories.
What they want is corporations, beholding to the Democrats, to run all those things. The non-threatening word for that form of government is Corporatism. The less nice word is Fascism. That's what the Dems really are.

I’m encouraged by this. The media seem worried about these new GOP attacks on out and proud, whip-out-their-red-dicks socialists and commies. That’s why they are trying so hard to downplay the red scare.
I have said here several times that this isn’t a takeover. It’s a rebranding of a Democrap party that’s been secretly socialist for over 50 years. But I’m encouraged that the leftwing media seems scared enough of that rebranding to try to explain it away.
Media wants socialism, for sure, but they’re acting like the country as a whole ain’t ready for it. Like when youre on a date and you pull out your dick too early and you get heismanned. But if you waited a little longer, and romanced the chick a little more, you woulda got lucky.

Who is this so-called DSA leader David Jenkins, who looks like he took your order at Starbucks last week? Is he the "mastermind" getting all these socialists commies into power, and who is really pulling his strings? Or is he just riding the current trend of the democrat party kicking out the last vestiges of the JFK democrats?

CLAIM 1: There are no communists in the State Department
When Claim 1 falls, go to the back-up:
CLAIM 2: Well yes there are communists in the State Department but it's no big deal!
---
I guess this goes back a ways:
Phase 1. It's not happening.
Phase 2. It's happening, but it's not significant.
Is there any wonder that I don't want these people doing my thinking for me?

Communists are just Socialists In A Hurry.
The left doesn’t have that much power yet, but they are definitely feeling their oats. The old hippies, the pseudo hippies anyway, are bat-shit crazy, and are about to shuffle off this mortal coil. They want to leave their mark. The younger revolutionaries have no patience whatsoever and are willing to push them down the stairs.

Communism, socialism, psychopathy, are all based upon the idea that what is your should by right be mine. Not that I worked for it, or earned it, or are otherwise entitled. I'm just envious, so I get it.

It's hard to argue with Socialists (or more aptly, promoters of Socialism who haven't the faintest idea what Socialism truly is).
It's like arguing with a retard, and you keep having to look around to convince yourself that your aren't abusing the mentally handicapped purposefully. It feels wrong. You full expect your debate opponent to belt out "JOHN CENA!!" at any given moment or some passerby giving you a "shame" face for picking on the disabled.

"70 years after the Red Scare..."
That was the Second Red Scare.
The First Red Scare was in the early 1900s when Anarachists, and their Communist brethren, were rioting, bombing, assassinating, and creating havoc on a regular basis, which in part lead to the creation of the FBI.
So technically we're now in the Third Red Scare, and what we've come to realize is that it's the Reds doing all the scaring.

Losers are socialists/commies. They don't have toys to throw out of their prams.
They want what hard working people have and have public tantrums with posters created and printed by a capitalist. Then take their body odors, tattoos and pierced noses and blue hair to protest people who worked for a living to reap some rewards before death.
The dead nephew-in-law was like this as well as an atheist. The dinner at my MIL's where we met him he was whining about the above, said he thought the protest against Wall Street was the greatest thing ever and nothing similar (the SIL I love snickered, um summer of '69). Then started whining that people with college degrees should not be managers over him (his dream job of a manager of a call station of Grub Hub came later, his only job we are aware of in shitcago).
My husband, who was sort of high on cough medicine from getting sick on the plane earlier, politely informed him he'd worked hard for everything we have. He's a calm and diplomatic guy who normally would have ignored the eejit spewing at his left.
The little commie flounced to the bathroom. He might have been crying. I almost laughed.

Paradoxically, communist infiltration in the US government has progressed a lot after the fall of the Soviet Union, because it is less easy to make the argument that communists are traitors to their country, spies for a foreign power, etc..
There's still China, but Chinese espionage is widely accepted nowadays. Nobody cares. You are racist if you accuse someone of being a Chinese spy.
Besides, not all US communists are obviously tied to China; however, if there ever is a glasnost in China and their archives open, who knows what we will find. Maybe they finance the majority of US protest movements in some indirect manner. Unlike during the Soviet Union, people don't talk about it, though.

Socialism: a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole:
Communism: a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.
In each, there is an over riding Oligarchy, or Party, which decides who gets access to resources.
So, except of a bit of paper of who owns but does not control a company, what is the difference?

Someone posted about the "Ride of Killgore Trout", so I had to look it up, being unfamiliar. I thought it was a clothing store. It is a clothing store, a Jewish news website confirmed, it has recently expanded in Eton Square. On this website, I saw a sad headline that a 3 year old in was killed by a car in an outdoor barbeque restaurant in Beachwood. Turns out that the driver of the car is Kenneth McFadden's daughter (Mr McFadden tried to say he was driver, no dice per surveillance video). McFadden is the somewhat famous "Mouse McFadden", a Cleveland State basketball player who helped lead a Sweet Sixteen run in '86. The article didn't provide the name of the poor deceased child, so I looked it up. Very sad obituary, this tragedy happened on Father's day. Parents of the child were Jonathan and Simon. Wait, what? There is a fundraising page so they can be pay a surrogate for another child (surrogacy idea apparently in the works prior to tragedy per the page, not sure if the poor child's death was catalyst to get fundraiser started). Anyway, I'm back from this strange trip down the rabbit hole and will now pour myself a drink.

This ties into the birthright citizenship in a way. The biggest abuser of that protocol are the Chinese. It really is a State Security issue. If the Trump administration was serious (which I think they are), they would research every single corporate espionage case that involves "Chinese Americans" given citizenship through the birthright process...as well as outright espionage cases. They would, also, research politicians on the same premis, like that Mayor out in California that was reporting to the CCP. I think her name was Wong, or Wang. I forget. She and her chief of staff were communicating regularly with the CCP, and her municipal policies reflected that.
So, as Socialism creeps to Communism instead of Nixon's shortsighted belief that Communism would creep to Democracy on Mainland China...we should be treating the whole deal as a National Security issue.

Where you wait months or years for a MRI and/or cancer surgery.
Yeah, I want that.
Due to our wicked capitalistic society we have more MRI's in one state in the USA than all of Canada, who has 420. Which is part of the delay but not all of it.
I got a sinus infection or plague on the plane to Scotland once. After climbing the cobblestone Royal Mile, dragging my suitcase after the train, the hotel let the almost dead woman and family check in early (pre-covid).
I was told NOT to go to the ED (I guess you have to bleed for that). Given a private MD I saw the next day and paid out of pocket ($600) for a complete workup and later a z-pack (which you rarely see now). I discovered at the pharmacy you can buy low dose codeine legally (or could), which was nice for me as I hate head pain plus snot. I lay dying for most of one day and recovered.
The next day we went to Stirling. I was staggering along Spittal Street and took a photo of the sign because I was doing a lot of that. Son was irritated with his slow walking corpse mom until HE got walking pneumonia on the plane back to FL.
This was my only experience with the NHS.

I would add that men claiming they "feel like women" have no possibility of knowing what it feels like to be a woman, so it is a lie, straight up.

If you manage to get on ANY State voter registration, like in Calif where there is no check on validity at all... then you can get your ballot sent to... oh... CHINA...
And thus a Chinese citizen who was born here as a birth tourist, can and will vote in US elections... because of three Supreme court decisions.
1. Birthplace citizenship
2. Dual citizenship
3 Mail in voting legal.

Sounds like maybe we should nationalize Big Oil, or at least regulate all their pricing. There are still ex-Soviet GOSPLAN veterans around who could be consulted on how to set prices.
Fortunately such demagogic idiocy, the kind you'd hear from the Berkeley city council, is on the fringes. Nobody prominent would echo this nonsense.

Spielberg just had to get his McCarthyism film fix. Every Hollywood director has to make a McCarthyism Red Scare film at least once in their career. I think it's in the charter of the Director's Guild of America.
Honestly, Hollywood would be a better place if they abandoned their stupid obsession with McCarthyism and formed an obsession for showing Scarlett Johansson's tits on-screen.

One interesting facet of the communists is that they are hellbent on reducing the population of the planet. Thus, they could eventually breed themselves out of existence.
This is also why they are hellbent on indoctrinating other peoples' children--because that's the only way they can expand their ideology over time.

Real communism has never been tried
Since there is always a false choice here - National Socialism vs. Communism or International Socialism seems to be the required binary choice here - is there a corrolary?
“Real Naziism has never been tried” Is this a valid statement too?
Why or why not? Collectivists are just thugs and gangsters. 100 million dead, at least, piles of skulls in the 20th century.
And that’s not counting the Wars. Chew on that for a while.

Anyway, China will groom the US citizen from childhood and that individual returns to the US in their 20's to secure positions in those industries the China requires information. They've been known to even have some enter the US military upon return to the US.

One interesting facet of the communists is that they are hellbent on reducing the population of the planet. Thus, they could eventually breed themselves out of existence.
This is also why they are hellbent on indoctrinating other peoples' children--because that's the only way they can expand their ideology over time.

They are also required to act like Senator Joe McCarthy controlled the House Un-American Activities Committee which predated him by at least a decade, and was mostly run by Democrats, except for 2 years of its existence.
And the HUAC-associated "black list" was really bad despite writers and directors getting work through cut-outs, and was main a reaction to commies in Hollywood trying to prevent patriots from getting jobs in the industry.
You must mix up ALL THOSE THINGS!!
Otherwise, something looks bad for Democrats.

The media and their leftist masters will be completely sucsessful in this new iteration of republicans siezing. The following is an outline of their basic attack:
The Premise
Left: Republicans are saying that water is wet, therefore they are bad people and you must now vote for us and do everything we say.
The Evidence
Left: See! See! Here's proof that Republicans have said water is wet, they are still saying that water is wet, therefore you must now vote for us and do everything we say.

What the average Ameican thinks is "communism" is actually socialism.
Gulags? That's socialism.
Public execution of dissidents? That's socialism.
Forced abortions? That's socialism.
Bread lines, shortages, starvation? That's socialism.
What, then, is "commnism"?
Communism is living day-to-day wearing burlap togas on a collective farm with a bunch of glassy0eyed hippies, where there is n money, n familyunit, no personal possessions, no cvilization, no individuality, the words "I" and "me" banished from the language. That's communism.
Socialism is the stage we must g through to get to communism. Socialism is the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the Khmer Rouge, Zimbabwe's forced confiscation of all personal possessions, North Korea, Fidel Castro, mass graves and concentration camps. That's socialism.

Communism is supposed to be paid according to ability and needs.... but someone has to decide how much you are paid, or need.
So instead of business deciding how much you are paid, or need, its a bunch of Party member bureaucrats.
For the under class it will end up with the same result... but will kill any incentive for the upper or middle class.

Both Ethel and Julius were sentenced to the death penalty, in part to put pressure on them to confess - and name names.
The thinking by the Judge was that Julius would never allow his wife to be executed, if either had cooperated they could have had their death sentence commuted.
They had kids, none of their friends or family would take them during the incarceration trial period, so they were shuffled off to “social services”.
Maybe they were bluffing, but da Judge called their bluff, and off to ole Sparky they went at Sing Sing.
Judge Kaufman pointed out the damage they did was incalculable. The Korean War was attributed to the fact of atomic espionage on their part, among other things.
I can understand why communism in the 1920s or 1930s gained traction, but there is really no excuse after that. They tied themselves into pretzels after the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

I care about ending the capacity of the mullahs to project force outside their borders, preferably inside as well. According to their media the only lesson they have learned is that they need to have nukes in order to be untouchable.

We got involved because Israel said "do something or we will", and when we started negotiating Iran told us to screw off because they had just about refined Uranium and they figured they could hold out long enough to pop some nukes.
Everything since then has been arm bending to get them to comply. This is not Ukraine where the EU is feeding funds and weapons to the Ukes to bleed Russia white, Iranians don't have much of a backdoor for supplies and only the Chinese are willing and they don't do resupply on credit.
I think we have some space here.

Claim: Michelle Obama Has Blocked Cheryl Hines From Appearing on Larry David's New Show, Because She's RFKJr.'s Wife
Michelle Obama 'Bans' Cheryl Hines From Appearing in New Larry David HBO Show Over MAGA Links -- Ex-First Lady 'Can Be A B**** on Wheels' Michelle Obama has reportedly banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO show she is executive producing over her MAGA links.Obama himself will appear in this mock "historical" series which will, undoubtedly, regurgitate all of the left's invectives about America. Like he just did.
Michelle Obama has banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO series honouring America's 250th birthday, according to new claims, RadarOnline.com can reveal. The former First Lady, 62, is an executive producer on Larry David's new seven-episode sketch show, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, and reportedly used her influence to stop Hines from featuring.
Michelle Obama does not want Hines anywhere near her show, according to reports. Hines, 60, starred alongside David, 78, in the hit comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm; however, their relationship has become strained in recent years due to her relationship with the nation's Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ... And her ties to MAGA have resulted in Hines being omitted from the series, with insiders claiming the prospect of her featuring would make Michelle go "absolutely ballistic."
Former President Barack Obama took aim at the Founding Fathers ahead of America's 250th anniversary, saying they held a "deep flaw" for their ties to slavery despite being "geniuses." "I think sometimes we get confused in thinking that these two stories are separate. They're intertwined, right? Which is why it's possible for me to be a great admirer of George Washington, and also acknowledge he was a slaveholder," said Obama in an interview Sunday with MSNOW. The 44th president's appearance comes as most Americans prepare to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday on Saturday with patriotic events across the country, while Obama is using the milestone to deliver a more cautionary message about the state of American democracy.Bonus: I mentioned Jill Biden's very suspicious book sales yesterday. Now the NY Post writes it up.
"That does not negate [Washington's] greatness, it simply acknowledges that there's a profound deep flaw in these Founding Fathers who were also geniuses and gave us these tools," Obama said. "It's that we're this mixed bag, we've got contradictions. And embody the country's contradictions," he added.
Except that Lauren Cobello specializes in bulk purchases of books to artificially boost their initial sales to get them on the best seller list. This is not an objective expert the media is contacting, but an invested, partisan champion of the system itself. As usual.
Former First Lady Jill Biden's memoir had a brief run atop the New York Times bestseller list before tumbling out of the rankings just weeks later -- fueling online speculation that its lofty debut owed more to bulk book orders than to sustained reader demand. "View from the East Wing," which was published by Simon & Schuster's imprint Gallery Books, debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction list on June 21 with a dagger (†) symbol indicating that retailers reported some bulk purchases. By the following week, it had slipped to No. 3, and it has since fallen off the list altogether. The sharp drop has sparked claims on social media that the 299-page book reached the top through orchestrated buying campaigns instead of real consumer demand. Former FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver was among the most prominent critics, writing on X that the memoir "debuted at #1 on the NYT due to astroturfed bulk orders" before noting that it was "completely" off the list two weeks later and calling such a rapid decline "very rare." Publishing experts caution that the reality is more nuanced. "I don't think there is anything sinister about it," Lauren Cobello, founder and CEO of Leverage with Media PR, told The Post.
This bitch is just spamming out pro-Jill-Biden spin:
"I think it's a strategy, a smart strategy for how people are engaging their network so that they can get more books in the hands of their readers," she said of bulk buying.
Cobello, whose agency specializes in launching bestselling books, said bulk purchases are a routine feature of modern publishing campaigns -- particularly for politicians, celebrities and high-profile authors embarking on national book tours. ... "It's almost impossible to not have bulk orders" for major political figures and celebrities, Cobello said, noting that bookstores hosting large events often place orders for hundreds of books at a time.
Why even contact such a clear partisan as you supposed "outside expert witness"?
She also pushed back on the suggestion that the memoir's rapid decline necessarily signals failure. "It wasn't a complete flop," Cobello said, pointing to its continued appearance on the USA Today bestseller list after it exited the Times rankings. "She definitely had some bulk orders, but I think they were tied to the events that she had."

So this is NOT a real special on the 250th, it's a lame liberal take on kvetching about America, pretending to be comedy. Not being on this isn't a huge loss, really. But fans of Larry and Cheryl as a comedy duo will miss out.
I asked my Gen Z kid his take on Michelle. He said she ruined their school lunches. That does kind of wrap up his generation's take on her in a nutshell.

Speaking of spite,...
So some interesting history posted at end of Insty ONT this morning.
It seems that many of the small towns in Wyoming (and I guess elsewhere) were just post offices for the temporary camps set up for the rail road workers (often "hackers" who cut trees to make ties, so not just on the main line.) As well as other post offices set up without anyone thinking that the name would become permanent for a town or city.
That is why they often have silly names.
One example was DuBois, legend has it., pronounced doo-boys because it pissed off the politician who named it after himself and would get annoyed when people pronounced his name that way.

Let’s understand how the courts work. They don’t like changing things. They revere precedent.

Which as the court insists on reviewing more and more actions of government puts increasingly more government behavior out of the reach of voters, as voters have little if any effect on precedent.
So, we're back to fuck judges--they have disgraced themselves. Because precedent keeps decisions out of the power of the filthy unwashed.
This is elitism. It wouldn't be so bad, if judges weren't trying to make more and more legal precedent so they get this universal review of government behavior.
But, fuck judges.

250 Years ago today... they were debating the Declaration of Independence, that would make the Colonies NOT part of English Law or Governance.
Today the Supreme Court announced that our Citizenship is still dictated not by US Law and custom, but by English Law.

She was part of the house judiciary legal team that drafted the memo on what is an impeachable offense during the watergate hearings. This was when she was fresh out of Yale. A little ironic, no?
Would that be the committee from which she was fired by Sam Ervin for lying?

---
Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett do vote on principle; their vote was entirely predictable to anyone familiar with how the courts work. It’s just that their principle is wrong, reflecting the old and established view of the 14th Amendment that we are currently challenging with new scholarship.
---
So why did they have to make up the story about British feudal claims being our citizenship tradition.
It's bullshit. Alito and Thomas clearly illustrate how there is more immediate context decades within the ratification of the 14th amendment.

Note, in English Feudal society, a Peasant owed 1 day a week worth of labor, to his Lord... as 1 day was God's, that meant 1/6 of his labor either in work, or Money.
So, 16.66%. Let's see... 12.4% Social Security... close.
25%- 30% combined state, local, Fed, income tax.
Property tax? ie paying the lord to live on hour land... another 1% or so
Sales Tax? oh... 9% here. then of course Gas Tax.
Sounds like we are a hell of a lot WORSE off then Peasants were.

Posted by: Axeman at June 30, 2026 04:52 PM (Fi81e)
Because birthright citizenship was taken as a given until recently. I don't think it was discussed in any textbook other than as being axiomatic. It's one of those things like "The New Deal ended the Great Depression" that you were just told is true.
Roberts (and Barrett) seem to think that they need to preserve institutional credibility, as if they can control anything so nebulous. And doubtless Roberts knew that Thomas would wheel out one of his history lesson specials in a dissent. So he went looking for support for what he "knew" was already there. That he had to fall back on feudalism is actually kind of funny. Apparently nothing else less on-the-nose on our 250th birthday would work at all.

So why did they have to make up the story about British feudal claims being our citizenship tradition.
Posted by: Axeman at June 30, 2026 04:52 PM (Fi81e)
Because birthright citizenship was taken as a given until recently. I don't think it was discussed in any textbook other than as being axiomatic. It's one of those things like "The New Deal ended the Great Depression" that you were just told is true.
Roberts (and Barrett) seem to think that they need to preserve institutional credibility, as if they can control anything so nebulous. And doubtless Roberts knew that Thomas would wheel out one of his history lesson specials in a dissent. So he went looking for support for what he "knew" was already there. That he had to fall back on feudalism is actually kind of funny. Apparently nothing else less on-the-nose on our 250th birthday would work at all.

I was hoping to find something funny to post from AI with the following prompts.
1. Gemini, can you do a web search to determine the total number of positive websites devoted to the beauty and style of Michelle Obama please?
2. How about the intellect and greatness of Barack Obama?
3. Are there sites yet dedicated to the grandeur of the Obama Presidential Library?
Okay, I feel better. That was funny but too much to post.
Speaking of Mooch, an India-Indian guy came around to talk about internet providers. He really liked my monkey statue. He told me he took a picture.

Schlichter in summary:
---
So what if the court is acting like the superlegislature the Federalist Papers said would invalidate their reason for being--we're one seat away from reversing all this.... it the Democrats don't win, stack the courts, doing laps with this verdict.
I sorta get where he's coming from. The battle is not completely lost. I just can't agree that the SCOTUS having "seats" and "votes" and invalidating themselves--by the admission in this very opinion piece--it's a recoverable situation.
Because you've accepted the rogue behavior of a branch that continually expands its area of review. And seems in no hurry to reign the overreach of their profession in, just "Hey, guys, knock off the restraining order from one regional judge stuff!"
I never was thinking this is the end. It's a part--perhaps a shadow of the end--but he's trying to talk me out of a funk that I'm not in, and normalizing court expansion (which is happening anyway).

Hey Obama, you know who else were slave holders? Every Muslim dynasty in history, American Indians, your ancestors, Michelle's ancestors, Kamala Harris's ancestors, West Africans who held and sold slaves, and on, and on.
None of my ancestors ever were slave holders however one of them died on the battlefield of Gettysburg fighting against the South. He left a young wife with two small babies. You wouldn't know greatness if it smacked you on your bony ass.

The true solution to birthright citizenship is kicking people out of the country and preventing more from coming in.
Net out-migration for the first time in decades last year.
The SCOTUS case was a loss, there are ways around it, there's more political will now than before to deal with it, but the overall effort now is towards remigration. At least 2.5 more years of this, and if the cleanup in elections and immigration is as significant as possible, the win from 2024 can look like small beans by 2028.

What a maroon.
Just as one could unfortunately be born into slavery.
It also follows, one could be born into a slaveholding family. With me so far?
Now what? You modern sophisticated people say “I would have freed my slaves”
Maybe. Highly doubtful. The first problem, there wasn’t anyplace for them to go. Let’s say you owned 75 slaves on your plantation.
They cost the equivalent of about $50,000 or more per. Democrats would be the last on the planet to do something like that.
Plus, inheritance and bankruptcy law was quite different back then. As the heir to an Estate, you were on the hook for debts. That is not the case today.
They had Debtor’s Prisons. Totally awful. If you think modern or historical Democrats would go to prison and forfeit hundreds of thousands of dollars in “assets” you’re smoking your socks.

Birthright citizenship was never our biggest problem in immigration. It was the open borders was the problem.

Nope, three Supreme Court decisions show how dangerous this becomes.
1. Birth tourist to the US, kid is a citizen.
2. Dual Citizenship Legal by Supreme Court Fiat.
3. All Citizens right to vote, and vote by mail.
So, ChiCom comes here on a Visa and has a kid, goes back to China.
18 years later, Kid, never having lived in the US is still a Dual Citizen with the right to vote. Registers ONLINE because there is no verification process... then changes the address to where they want the ballot sent, in China.
Hell, due to international mail... it does not even look like the Ballot needs to be postmarked by the USPS by election day, but could be done by a foreign post office, and we'd still have to count it due to current law.
Even without other cheating, this takes the control of our elections OUT of the hands of Native Cits.

Michelle Obama goes on Jimmy Kimmel Live for marketing campaigns for herself and hubby. Her husband was & continues to be a Netflix president, much like Zelenskyy.
PS - Caroline Kennedy and the rest of the tribe kiss the butts of the Os.
From above, "Former President Barack Obama took aim at the Founding Fathers ahead of America's 250th anniversary, saying they held a "deep flaw" for their ties to slavery despite being "geniuses."
No surprise. At the minimum, see Philly & the signing of the Declaration of Independence. (In January, the National Park Service removed a prominent slavery exhibit from the President’s House site in Philadelphia. The removal was part of the Trump administration's "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" initiative. The city of Philadelphia sued to restore the displays, but a federal appeals court ruled that the administration has the authority to alter the site.) Also, the Smithsonian stirs the pot a lot.
Include a huge offering of the worse programming ever for the 4th of July holiday in Philadelphia and you know exactly how 'some' think and feel.

See what states wildly purchased Jill's book for their library systems.

I don’t really think Jimmy Stewart was acting. That’s pretty much WYSIWYG personified. He was a combat pilot of several B-24 bombing raids. A fine man. By all accounts an excellent commander.
Boeing B-17s hogged a lot of the spotlight, but B-24 production dwarfed Wichita’s output. I think Ford’s River Rouge plant, the largest in the world at the time, was churning out a B-24 every hour 24/7 at one point.

Nope, three Supreme Court decisions show how dangerous this becomes.
1. Birth tourist to the US, kid is a citizen.
2. Dual Citizenship Legal by Supreme Court Fiat.
3. All Citizens right to vote, and vote by mail.
———
The Court held that American citizens were on the hook financially to support illegal aliens in government schools. They should have been impeached right then and there, and Congress remedied this fairy tale abomination permanently.
A “Citizen” is merely a second class Chump in our world today. All by design.

The Citizen Vigilante film was nonsensical ass. But I will admit, scenes like the one where he metes out rough justice on a corrupt judge was very schadenfreude inducing.
Apparently in the medieval days, if you were a corrupt judge and were caught you got flayed alive? I don't begrudge that. People in power without fear of retribution do evil things.

Clarified the issue and made it a litmus test for new Scotus appointees from the GOP. Case was really a 5-4 decision as Kavanaugh's concurrence for the sixth vote was that Trump did not have that power but Congress could. Most of the bloviating that the court majority did was in fact obiter dicta not necessary to judge whether Trump had the constitutional power. And that is where Roberts and ACB being preening social virtue signalling twats went too far. Like Justice Taney trying to resolve a question forever, Roberts and co joined with the deraged leftist witch coven on the court to misread constitutional history and even British law.

Another Mamdani-Backed Muslim Wins Democrat Primary for State Senator; Claims That "Racism, Capitalism, White Supremacy, and Islamophobia" "Manifested" in 9/11
She excuses terrorists because they come from "colonized lands" and uses Ilhan Omar's formulation that Muslims shouldn't have to apologize for something "a couple of people did" and goes further: she demands apologies for "genocide and slavery" plus reparations before she'll consider offering her own apologies. She's also clearly brain-damaged, as she cannot speak three words without saying "like," "um," or "you know." By the way, Muslims are the most enslaving race in history and are still enslaving people.Muslim Mamdani-backed socialist primary winner suggested America deserved 9/11 in unearthed videoShe won the very blue district she was running in, which means she's running essentially unopposed in November.
Aber Kawas, the daughter of a deported Jordanian national, won the Democratic primary for a deeply blue Queens district Another radical far-left candidate backed by socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is under fire after a resurfaced social media clip shows her appearing to suggest that America deserved the September 11, 2001, terror attacks. Aber Kawas is the Muslim daughter of illegal aliens who is now the Democratic nominee for the New York State Senate District 12. Like Mamdani, Kawas is a socialist.
"The system of capitalism and racism and White supremacy... and Islamophobia have all been used to colonize lands, to take resources from other people and so this is a long trajectory, and we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation with 9/11," she said in a 2017 episode of the Asian American Writers' Association podcast titled "Islamophobia beyond 9/11 with Aber Kawas." She then downplayed the horrific attack.
"The idea we have to apologize for a terror attack that a couple of people did and then there is no apology or reparations for genocides and for slavery... is something I find reprehensible," she said.
... She has also reportedly been affiliated with the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has previously been designated as a terrorist organization in some U.S. states and other countries. Her father, Jordanian national Abdelkareem Kawas, came to the United States on a tourist visa in 1989 and never left, according to the New York Post. He was later deported after a conviction for real estate fraud and a prison stint. Kawas made this story central to her campaign and portrayed it on the trail as cruel persecution by immigration authorities of her father.
New York City just elected Aber Kwas to their State Senate.

NYC public schools FY2026 budget is $45 billion (~$35k per student). National K-12 spending exceeds $980 billion annually. US aid to Israel is about $3.8 billion/year.BTW, school enrollment in NYC has plunged since covid and the general enshittification process of communist mayors. And yet the budget for schools zoomed upwards.
Meanwhile, "Islamic scholars" proclaim that America and indeed all Western nations are now under Islamic control and there's nothing you can do about that.

Tucker Carlson continues feting Russia government operatives as "wise men," including the Russian "Merchant of Death" convicted of selling arms to terrorists (who was let out of prison in exchange for WNBA pothead Briney Griner). Tuq'r is plainly making common cause with communists and Islamists to fight the real enemy, Jewish Capitalism, as Hitler always called it. Dana Loesch writes:

@bonchieredstate "The Amish? The people who have been in America since its founding, produce virtually no crime, consume almost no welfare, and don't demand the country be changed for them?"
Dana Loesch
@DLoesch Tucker thinks he's smart enough to use Islamism as a way to usher in socialism (red/green) but in reality, Islamists are using him as a stooge to spread Islamism.

They have never hidden their agenda for Ummah, the radical islamists. You will submit or die (I will die).
I have quoted here and other places that this has been known since 1999 when a scholar in the UK said basically this at a joint kumbaya coexist panel (paraphrased because I do not feel like looking for it):
Your country will collapse to islam BECAUSE your own laws of democrazy protect us.
They knew this. They knew people are bleeding hearts. They knew then they could control voting blocs with illegal immigration and no go zones for police.
They are succeeding hiding behind our laws of protection due to their religion and color of their skin.

I dropped by a Mennonite bakery the other day and it was interesting. They had electric lights, computerized payment systems, and electric baking machinery in their open concept store.
I did like the Christian wall art and music...it was a nice change from your average corporate grocery store.
I did ask the clerk if she was part of a Mennonite community because I was interested in what it was like but she turned red and got quiet so she obviously didn't want to talk so I just paid and ate my food.
Later I did some research and there had been a Mennonite community in that area for some time.

"Under Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, may schools maintain women's and girls' sports for biological females?... The answer is yes."
America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls' sports fair.

This terror slag is replacing retiring state senator Michael Gianaris. He's as far left as she is. She will not vote any differently on any issue than he would have.
As I've been saying, none of these new out-and-proud commies are any different than the old crusty secret commies.
The only difference is the newer generation's open hostility to America and Israel. Gianaris tried to straddle the fence on Israel-Palestine, trying to pander to both sides. But anyone who tries to straddle the fence between Israel and pure evil is really a supporter of evil.
The new generation is openly demonic.

We funded Masood the Pakis funded Hekmatyar.
We won and Masood formed a government.
But they didn't do a great job managing the country and after Clinton withdrew support Masood's government lost ground to the Pakistan funding jihadis.
On the eve of 9/11, literally the day before, the Paki funded Taliban assassinated Masood knowing he would have been our choice to fight against them.

A community note adds some context:
NYC public schools FY2026 budget is $45 billion (~$35k per student). National K-12 spending exceeds $980 billion annually. US aid to Israel is about $3.8 billion/year.
Why ruin the propaganda with facts when the lies sound so much better?
The (small number of) idiots who voted for her don't care about the truth, they want the revolution.

The Amish are a blight on modern society. They absolutely refuse to live in modern times. They will not recklessly spend their money on the latest electronic gizmo, nor contribute to political action committees. They spend their time, farming, building things and socializing within their own community! How unprogressive!!! My God look at all those prime farm animals.

Irrelevant if they are opposed or not. In inner city districts the D partisanship % is so high already that the D ballot line could literally say "Satan the Eater of Damned Souls" and the nominee would easily win 2/3 of the vote.
The interesting bit is how much traction, if any, Al-Fucka or whatever the hell his name is gets outside of Metro Detroit. These DSA types have almost no ground presence outside their strongholds beyond teachers, and those types are exceptionally lazy.

Meaning there is no popular representation for any election, only what the corrupt election and party structure deems to have occurred -- up to and including disallowing any unapproved candidate from even being on the ballot.
So of course we get to insult and yell at all the people there for not voting because of course they don't. It makes us feel virtuous, and if the commenters here can feel virtuous then, well, there is no reason to search for a solution, is there.

That is a level of delusion so bad that the average schizophrenic would be calling them crazy.

Well, they did, it was just that the lands were colonized by Muslims, over the objections for the non-Muslims who lived there first.

Some responses -
In their parents' home countries, these families belonged to the upper echelons of society. They held immense social capital, prestige, and institutional power. When they move to the U.S., that hyper-elite status does not always translate. Regardless of their wealth, they are often grouped into broad American racial or ethnic minority categories. For a first-generation child, growing up with the awareness that their family is royalty back home, but viewing themselves as just another minority group in America, can breed deep resentment toward the American social hierarchy.
What might look like visceral "hate" is often the adoption of high-level academic cynicism. They are trained to dissect the flaws of Western capitalism and American foreign policy, which manifests as a vocal, hyper-critical stance against the very country they live in.
Their wealth gives them the luxury of global mobility, but their professional networks, corporate ties, and asset structures are deeply embedded in Western institutions. Returning to a developing nation—even one where their

parents had power—often means giving up the hyper-advanced infrastructure, legal protections, and global market access that the U.S. provides.
While they may visit on vacations, these children are culturally American. They speak with American accents, think through a Western lens, and lack the hyper-localized cultural nuances required to navigate the business or political landscapes of their parents' native countries.
If they return to "fix" things, they are often viewed by the locals as arrogant, entitled American outsiders trying to dictate terms. They don't have the grassroots credibility to enact change.
And so "ours" too - the Barack Obamas, AOCs, Ro Khannas and so many others, like as Nan, Bernie, and Liz, who help create an arrogant, self-absorbed and potentially violent political landscape.

AND, Amish in PA know what Amish in Ohio, and many other communities are facing at any given time. They are not isolated by any fashion. They hold a lot of conservative values, are pacifists, and for the most part reflect a community that doesn't want government intervention.

And that goes over really well with 'infidels', so much so the notorious permissive Scandinavians try to ban them.
The first and most obvious solution to the problem of Islam is simply to broadcast their message more adequately. The video clips posted above are good. Websites that directly quote hadith and sunnah are very helpful as well.
The idea that Islam just naturally takes over places is nonsense. Even in full military and political control it took them centuries to convert Egypt and even Nubia (now the hellhole known as Sudan). The stage where Muslims become more visible and impossible to ignore is actually a good one, if you want people to confront them.

The TV shows are fake, and rumpispringa is basically the Amish version of Muslim rape gangs, just without the violence. An Amish person can "sow their wild oats" before a certain point. But that isn't really an out. It's akin to a Muslim not committing rape as long as it's one of those short-skirted non-Muslim women.
The social pressures for Amish to stay Amish are very strong. It's entirely akin to living in a Muslim neighborhood, with the difference that I don't think the Amish throw acid on your face. But ostracism keeps almost anyone from leaving. If you'd prefer I compare the Amish to Scientology, that would work too.

165 Was playing around with AI regarding the new breed and what makes them so inherently miserable.
Some responses -
In their parents' home countries, these families belonged to the upper echelons of society. They held immense social capital, prestige, and institutional power. When they move to the U.S., that hyper-elite status does not always translate. Regardless of their wealth, they are often grouped into broad American racial or ethnic minority categories. For a first-generation child, growing up with the awareness that their family is royalty back home, but viewing themselves as just another minority group in America, can breed deep resentment toward the American social hierarchy.
****
Interestingly, I had a colleague who rose to become my boss' boss. He came from Ghana, where his family was LITERAL royalty; he was the hereditary king of a tribal nation there ... and you never met anyone who understood and appreciated the American Way more. He acted as a sort of volunteer consul for Ghanaians in our city, helping them learn our exotic ways. And he saved my career on more than one occasion by refusing to entertain bitchy accusations of racism by spoiled "African Americans."

North Carolina is another state that isn't sending anybody to the 250-year celebration.
Meanwhile, myfox8 reports:
William Craig Durham, 56, of Wilkes County, is being charged with first-degree murder and first-degree kidnapping in connection with the death of United States Postal Service letter carrier Brandi Reynolds. ...
A family member of Reynolds told the judge that Durham had allegedly been threatening Reynolds and had broken into her home in the past. ...
The prosecution also detailed Durham’s extensive prior record, including an assault conviction, several past kidnapping charges, intimidating a witness charges and possession of a firearm by a felon.
North Carolina's government seems not to care about itscitizenssubjects. (Durham's white, not like that matters, NC just loves criminals.)

The social pressures for Amish to stay Amish are very strong. It's entirely akin to living in a Muslim neighborhood, with the difference that I don't think the Amish throw acid on your face. But ostracism keeps almost anyone from leaving. If you'd prefer I compare the Amish to Scientology, that would work too.

They're given the opportunity to live with the "English" and they can choose whether or not to return.
I heard about rumpispringa long before the TV show, and watched a little bit of the show just to see some of the details.
You're really stuck on making the Amish the equivalent to the Muzzies, aren't you?

I can't quote it exactly so I'll paraphrase: this falls under how discourse with the Left is impossible because they pretend not to understand things. It's just a tactic. I despise them for it.

Marxism is a blip on the radar of the 1,400-year-long quest by Islam to conquer Earth.

Amish and Mennonite communities are all over northeast Ohio, and also anywhere (probably) with good farm land. Even though my family lives cheek by jowl with Amish owned farms I never knew much about them. They've changed, I will say, in that I see Amish riding in truck beds quite frequently now. Never saw that when I was youngrr.

Denaturalize these muslims and deport them to Sudan. Place the arab-looking ones in the black part of Sudan and the muslims who look like blacks in the arabic part of Sudan.
Then let the Sudanese Civil War sort them out.

I've been enjoying some of the Amish posts on this thread. I have a good friend who grew up in the Amish community, decided it wasn't for him...and ALSO, when he pointed this out to the elders they suggested he benefit the Amish community in other ways. He (and his brothers) never got baptized to the Amish Church (which signifies remaining)...Instead, he opened up his own contracting business, and eventually became a state politician (who I might add was instrumental in Trump winning PA). You might be able to figure out who it is based on that last tidbit.
My point is this. The Amish lean to the right. Although they dislike the "Chicken Hawk" politicians in either party with vigor. They abhor government over reach in their everyday lives. And, while you and I wish for a smaller government, they wish it to be smaller still.

From above, "Imagine if, in the aftermath of 9/11, someone told you within 25 years someone like this would be getting elected in NYC -- would you have believed it?"
Yes. Eight years from the 1st localized bombing to the 2nd, both centered on the NY - DC corridor, aka the Northeast Megalopolis.
Each caused death and destruction. First some, the second massive but how real change and much broader control of the nation be effected without bringing down the infrastructure and having a huge internal war?
Take over NYC, one of the financial capitals of the world. (The other is London and it, too, is falling.) And take the seat of U.S. government, and epicenter of American political power and international diplomacy.
More of an Art of War "invasion" vs. a contemporary military invasion. And that's exactly what's been going on for decades. But thanks to Trump, and thanks to the possibility of a Trump-like successor, there's no option but to become visible.

Supreme Court Upholds Ban on Boys in Girls Sports
SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!? SO CLOSE TO PRIDE MONTH?!!!
The holding is 6-3, but the three liberals joined with parts of it so parts of it are actually unanimous. Coney-Barrett and Roberts joined the conservatives in this one because this case is about protecting Muh Feminism. Remember, even super-feminist JK Rowling is on the right side of this issue. Note the decision is about state bans on men in girls' sports. It's not about Trump's executive order to deny funds to states that allow men to beat up girls in sports. And it doesn't ban men from girls' sports, just upholds states' rights to ban men from girls' sports.Fox News
@FoxNews
BREAKING: The Supreme Court just handed states a major victory in one of the country's most closely watched culture battles: protecting girls' and women's sports. In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, the court upheld laws in Idaho and West Virginia banning transgender students from competing in women's and girls' school sports. Justice Brett Kavanaugh writing in his opinion, "The term 'sex' in Title IX... cannot plausibly be interpreted to refer to anything other than biological sex... The Court concludes that separate sports teams for biological males and biological females are reasonable given the inherent physical differences between the sexes."
What does this virtue signaling have to do with the actual issue here? Their words -- dicta, it's called, judicial ramblings with no actual precedential power -- will be used by liberal courts to justify the overturning of restrictions on transgenders in bathrooms and the like, claiming that this decision stands for the proposition that transgenders must not be "ostracized or vilified."
The Supreme Court upheld state-level bans on transgender competitors playing girls' sports in Idaho and West Virginia in a landmark decision with major implications for more than half the country where similar policies are in place. In a 6-3 opinion, in which the liberal justices concurred and dissented in part, the high court determined that neither state had violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by enacting the bans. But the majority opinion also underscored the importance of treating transgender athletes with respect. "Most of the biological female and transgender student-athletes who are involved in transgender sports disputes around the country are teenagers or in their early twenties," Republican appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion.
"Those student athletes want to play sports. Their desire to compete warrants respect. No student-athlete on either side of the issue, whether a biological female or transgender, deserves to be ostracized or vilified."
Via Ed Morrissey: the key part of the decision.
Two transgender athletes waged similar challenges against the bans, arguing that they flouted equal protection rights under the 14th Amendment and statutory law prohibiting discrimination. ...
The decision in the cases, Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B. P. J., marks the first time the Supreme Court has dealt with the fraught culture war issue of transgender competition in girls' sports.
In assessing the reasonableness of the regulations, we also must recognize the distinctiveness of competitive sports--and the safety and competitive fairness issues that can arise when females are forced to compete against males. With respect to safety, allowing biological males to play on women's and girls' sports teams can put women and girls at significant risk of injuries. The safety risks are particularly severe in contact sports. And as to competitive fairness, allowing biological males to play on women's and girls' sports teams can put female athletes at a serious disadvantage. That is because sports are generally zero sum. Allowing a biological male athlete to compete on a girls' team necessarily displaces or disadvantages a female athlete--replacing her on the roster, knocking her out of the starting lineup, reducing her playing time, depriving her of a medal, and the like. That hard reality of sports cannot be ignored or swept under the rug. On the contrary, that reality must and does inform interpretation of the term "reasonable" in the Javits Amendment. Whether biological males may participate on women's and girls' sports teams may be a debated policy question. But the legal question for Title IX purposes is whether West Virginia may limit women's and girls' sports teams to biological females. As a matter of text and history, West Virginia may do so.Apparently the three liberals (excluding Coney-Barrett and Roberts) agreed that Title IX plainly speaks of "sex" and not "gender expression" so Title IX cannot be claimed to grant rights to men to beat up girls in sports. But they did find that the Equal Protection Clause just might!

That we had to have a SC decision that allows states to ban men in women's sports is nothing to be proud of .
It should have been states that wanted to allow men in women's sports filing their suit and the SC shooting them down.

So the headline on ESPN is "Supreme Court upholds state laws banning transgender athletes". AP article, of course. But the headline and pretty much the full article just describes how 'transgenders have been banned'! It's never stated what transgenders have been banned from. Literally. It does not say "transgender girls and women [who are males] can be banned by state law from participating in WOMEN'S SPORTS"... Just that transgenders have been banned... Exactly the propaganda that gins up these tranny mass murderers and all the Leftists that support them...

The illegal inflow is done and has been for more than a year.
Now, it's just the deportation machine (biggest in history before OBBB reinforcements amounting to $150 billion plus the new $70 billion from the recent shutdown win), kicking out everyone here and then building more walls around legal immigration.
Every visa class is down double digits from students to H1-Bs. Trump has travel bans in place for more than 30 countries already and limitations on another 70.
Hawaii v Trump asserted that the president has full authority over immigration. And Trump has been using that authority since January of last year. And the court system has backed him up on everything except the birthright citizenship case.

Hospitals grant birth certificates.
Though, that can become harder to prove later if not kept by the individual (hospital will retain their copy on file, of course), decades pass, and there's struggles to prove that you are the Juan Rodruiguez who says he was born in that US hospital.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at June 30, 2026 02:34 PM (qd4Mv)
Birth Certs are given by the Hospital, and then immediately put into a State or County data base, who then has the duty to maintain those records.
And beyond a cursory series of questions about maiden names and such, there is no check at all about getting a birth cert.... had to do it for Mom when she was 80 to get Real ID.

So there could be "transwomen" but no "transfemales". You can't change your sex.
Wave #1 was arguably more observant of biology. But still argued that you can have your own personal social construction with millennia of vetting. That's where the dumb part came in.

I don’t understand how this perversion of common sense and law was effected to begin with.
When I was growing up, any male who tried to worm his way into female sports (or the locker room) would have been forcibly ejected. “Get outta here!”.
It couldn’t have been any kind of natural progression or grass-roots thing. Transexuals and crossdressers were a fairly obscure subset. Then, all of a sudden, seemingly overnight it was trannies this, trannies that, trannies everywhere. This is an engineered phenom.
Most disturbing is the medical and science industry professing to not understand basic genetics, psychiatry doing a 180 and the rest of it. Sick beyond word, grooming children. Early molestation is a proven method of screwing over personalities. Termed “trauma based conditioning”.

The core of progressive ideology is that they are god. There is no GOD to them. To them your rights do not come from God, they come from government. So the government can grant, take away, or change them. Ultimately, they deny God every chance they get, because they deny reality. They want to live in a world of their own creation - not God's creation. They are attempting to erect a fantasy construct. Their attempts to control everything, including others who do not agree with them is ultimately not just futile, but also destructively dangerous. It is a wildly neurotic dysfunction (to psychologize it). To use classical terms, they are demonically oppressed, at least.

>>> 111 I don’t understand how this perversion of common sense and law was effected to begin with.
When I was growing up, any male who tried to worm his way into female sports (or the locker room) would have been forcibly ejected. “Get outta here!”.
It couldn’t have been any kind of natural progression or grass-roots thing. Transexuals and crossdressers were a fairly obscure subset. Then, all of a sudden, seemingly overnight it was trannies this, trannies that, trannies everywhere. This is an engineered phenom.
Most disturbing is the medical and science industry professing to not understand basic genetics, psychiatry doing a 180 and the rest of it. Sick beyond word, grooming children. Early molestation is a proven method of screwing over personalities. Termed “trauma based conditioning”.

Ketanji Brown Jackson: "A transgender woman penalized for being perceived as aggressive has experienced discrimination "on the basis of sex" just as much as a cisgender woman has, no matter that the transgender woman's behavior matches expectations of her sex assigned at birth."

What passes for “smart” and “educated” these days is pernicious strain of pseudo-intellectualism.
It’s mumbo-jumbo quackery. It used to be quite difficult to be admitted to most if not all colleges and universities. Merely having the scratch was not enough.
You’ll get accused of being “anti intellectual “ but this is a false choice. They are largely imposters, without particular aptitude or experience or demonstrated competence in a given field.
Meritocracy is hated with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Ultimately installing incompetent, unqualified individuals into leadership roles or positions of great responsibility is kind of a kink, consequently.
I did not have this on my radar growing up. I watched with disbelief in some areas of academia, but was naive in the extreme. “Well there’s no way these nutbars will have anything to do in the hard sciences, mathematics, engineering, chemistry, etc. They’d never in a million years allow that sort of nonsense.”
Oops

I don't think there should be any separation at all in sports based on sex. One team...best players make the team (sex is not a qualifying factor).
Though, in today's world, that might seem extreme; it isn't. Instead it is a rebuke on feminism. Men and women are not equal on the court, fiield, or diamond, despite the tripe they've been spouting out over these last six decades.
One team, where anyone is elligible would prove that.
And here's the point that many cringe at because they KNOW it's true. Women's sports in almost every capacity is nothing more than Patronization.

"Most of the biological female and transgender student-athletes who are involved in transgender sports disputes around the country are teenagers or in their early twenties," Republican appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion.
"Those student athletes want to play sports. Their desire to compete warrants respect. No student-athlete on either side of the issue, whether a biological female or transgender, deserves to be ostracized or vilified."
Law has nothing to do with feelings. This statement makes you completely disqualified to rule on things pertaining to LAW because what you just said has NOTHING to do with the f*cking decision to NOT let boys beat the shit out of girls.
Lord love a duck we're so incredibly f*cked as a society and a nation going forward.

For now, being the most junior justice, is relegated to the Cafeteria Committee where she gets to listen to complaints about the food, etc. She also is the one that has to open the door in the private conference room where the justices meet.

Cardinal Carlo Caffarra warned society faces a frightful "anti-creation" strategy that attacks the pillars of marriage and the family. He cited a private letter from Sister Lúcia of Fatima which stated: "The final battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be about marriage and the family." The late Italian Cardinal expanded on these threats during public addresses, particularly at the Rome Life Forum. His core warning that Satan was hurling an "ultimate and terrible challenge" at God by attempting to construct an "anti-creation," which strikes specifically at marriage and the family. The Decisive Issue: He often highlighted Sister Lúcia's encouragement that "anyone who works for the sanctity of marriage and the family will always be fought and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue." Laws and Cultural Shifts: He heavily criticized legislative changes that redefine fundamental building blocks of society, warning against the ennoblement of behaviors contrary to God's design.

Iran's GDP has collapsed in half in the last 4 months. It can't import anything anymore even with the MOU because no one wants to port at Bandar Abbas because the IRGC keeps firing on people and has actually stolen the goods from 3 vessels in the last couple of months.

I remember the first salvos against J. K. Rowling about a decade ago, on Robert Stacy McCain's blog ("The Other McCain" - AKA the Good One). She was called a TERF - "Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist". All because she called a man a man, just as a deer is a deer and is not a horse.
The reason she reads as smug or annoying on her Twitter is because, again, a decade of this. She didn't bend the knee, so she was made a target of Rule #12 - "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." However, she's still here, and she still has her fortune from her creation of the Harry Potter universe. Even if they're trying to Modern-Audience-Remake the hell out of it now.
Considering how many people have their phones surgically attached to their irises nowadays, it was amazing (even magical) to consider how many people, children even, bought her books. To read!
How many folks admitted to college this year cannot even read the whole first page of the first novel? Simply are not able to?

Trump's ability to kill entire visa classes is limited. Certain classes are statutorially outlined and the administration is under the obligation to issue in certain cases (spousal visas, for instance).
Still, his administration is limiting as much as possible. 50% as many green cards issued in the last fiscal year than the previous year under Biden.

Doesn't have to be the populace - could be the Army, or another faction. I assume other factions are not thrilled with the IGRC popping off missiles and such because odds are high that if any true diplomatic settlement happens they will be out, one way or another.

You saying you couldn't say what a woman was during your confirmation hearing should've gotten you laughed off the planet instead being confirmed as an SC Justice.
That is the most embarrassing moment in US Judicial history, hands down.

I think boys should also be allowed to have boy only sports teams, locker rooms and clubs.
Girls invaded the boys’ spaces first. Remember when Condi Rice was finally allowed to join Augusta?
I think men deserve men’s spaces without women.

I don't think she's stupid in the sense of low-IQ semi-retardation. She's just a pure ideolog that gets forced into idiotic positions to serve her ideology. She knows full well what a "woman" is. She is one. She knows full well what a "man" is. She married one. But she is sworn unto death to a ideology that demands she claim not to know.
==
Yup. She owes her position to this ideology. Everything she has. It is her identity now. She'll go to the wall for it. Barring a Pauline conversion experience. Which, now that I think about it, would be HILARIOUS.

Am I the only one that is bothered by the phrase "sex assigned at birth"? I wasn't a good student, and biology wasn't my strong suit. But I'm pretty sure sex/gender is assigned at conception. Not when the Dr is spanking your ass to make you cry.

The biggest disconnect is: It's not assigned.
Your DNA is your build instructions. There is no you without your DNA. Sex is part of your build instructions.
Anything else is colloquial-ludditism.
It's like Dawkins theory of "memes", he said something like "as a gene leaps from body to body, a meme jumps from brain to brain".
It was one of the most incompetent phrasings I've seen. There IS NO "body" to leap to before the combination of DNA makes it.
Yes, credentialed scientist (Zoology) can make luddite-ish models.

That's why I said yesterday, the Court is free to disgrace itself and its "profession".
I think Dred Scott was worse, actually. Taney emptied the whole outhouse for that one. And created a court-amplifying "substantive due process" to boot!
It used to be, as Judge Bork explained, that the people had a role in "due process", it meant decided by whatever process these things are decided.
Then the court decided that it has to have a cut in everything. So "substantive due process" is that almost everything has to be reviewed by a court, using lawyer logic and judge precedent, which the People have remote influence on.

I concur, but there is grant money going out there so that diplomaed academics can peer review shit that bootstraps their concepts into "Science".
Remember the whole "skin-suit wearing" thing.
And then they'll use their leverage in whatever institutions they get into to crowd out the true Scientific understanding of sex.
There are colloquial "realities" that crowd out rigorous understanding. For example, I cited Dawkins "meme theory" above. Most people think a "meme" is a picture with words, and very few know that it was a quasi-sciency notion that Dawkins shat out.

Ro Khanna Promises to Fight the Oligarchs, Tax the Rich, and Imprison "the Epstein Class" While Driving a $190,000 Range Rover, Owning Family Golf Courses, and Taking Elevators In His Mansion
If you've somehow missed this goblinoid, Ro Khanna is running for president. He first attempted to cast himself as a "reasonable" Democrat who believed in the American dream and thought we should transcend racial and gender differences, not dwell on them.
That didn't sell. So Ro Khanna 2.0 joined with Thomas Massie in fighting "the Epstein class," doubling down on identity politics, and dropping his support of business to crusade as a full-bore communist class warrior. But don't notice his immense wealth, which he selfishly hoards for himself and attempts various tax schemes to protect from the IRS.Andrew KerrHis two kids, both younger than 10, own three golf courses? That totally doesn't sound like a tax scam at all!
@AndrewKerrNC
NEW: @FreeBeacon
has the receipts on Ro Khanna's obscene, oligarchic wealth: --his 2 kids (under 10yrs old) own 3 private golf courses in Ohio (not kidding) --his wife drives a $190,000 luxury Range Rover --his house has a 4-story indoor elevator
Steve GuestThe Free Beacon:
@SteveGuest Must read exposé: "How Progressive Class Warrior Ro Khanna Lives Like the Oligarchs He 'Fights,' With In-Home Elevator, $190K Range Rover, and Family-Owned Golf Courses." "Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns. Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive house a few miles away in the Northern Virginia suburbs. Khanna's two children, who are minors, have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that focus on distressed debt, of which Khanna has been critical. Khanna's wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover she was so displeased with that she sued the dealer."
Oh, I thought he was some kind of tech mogul who at least earned his money, which would explain his previous support of tech moguls who earn fortunes. But nope, he just married the rich girl and inherited her father's money. He is, as Hercule Poirot might say, a cold-hearted adventurer who seduced his way into a fortune.
'Ro' Me the Money! How Progressive Class Warrior Ro Khanna Lives Like the Oligarchs He 'Fights,' With In-Home Elevator, $190K Range Rover, and Family-Owned Golf Courses.
Khanna's ultra-wealthy family depends on the same kind of secretive financial accounting and unearned wealth that he criticizes on the stump

June 30, 2026
Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns. Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive house a few miles away in the Northern Virginia suburbs. Khanna's two children, who are minors, have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that focus on distressed debt, of which Khanna has been critical. Khanna's wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover she was so displeased with that she sued the dealer. A Washington Free Beacon investigation into Khanna's finances finds that the progressive truthteller's lifestyle is funded by his wife, Ritu Ahuja Khanna, an heiress to her father's Cleveland auto parts fortune.
An analysis of Khanna's financial disclosures reveals his gilded life is enriched by the same sort of investment vehicles that Khanna has said he has a "moral" duty to oppose and that Khanna's family is a beneficiary of the "New Gilded Age" he condemns. Khanna's family wealth comes from his father in law, Monte Ahuja, an Indian-born, Cleveland auto parts magnate turned investor and philanthropist. Like many of the global ultra-rich with generational wealth, Ahuja has set up various trusts and other financial models to benefit his children and grandchildren. These complex financial structures are deliberately opaque, but Khanna, as a member of Congress, is legally required to disclose his family's financial affairs to the public. This visibility, however, has been somewhat obscured by Khanna's decision to file his financial disclosures in the old analog format, effectively rendering it immune to a thorough examination without the use of sophisticated data analysis tools. In 2024, Khanna's financial disclosures clocked in at 333 pages of non-text-searchable tables, listing over 3,000 individual assets owned by him, his wife, and his children, with each asset having ticked one of 13 available boxes corresponding to an asset valuation range. Put together, those assets are worth anywhere from $103 million to more than $340 million, according to a Free Beacon review. It's possible that the net worth of Khanna's nuclear family could far exceed $340 million. He reported a total of 10 assets held by his wife and two children--including the stakes they hold in three golf clubs--as simply being worth more than $1 million with no disclosed ceiling. For his two young children, Khanna reported in 2024 they own between $26 million and more than $73 million in irrevocable trusts, a wealth transfer vehicle that could shield them from future inheritance taxes. Khanna's wife purchased the couple's current Washington, D.C., home through one of her trusts in 2020 for $3.15 million, real estate records show. The house, which is located in an enclave of newly constructed luxury homes in Northwest D.C., is less than a mile from a private school for young children, which counted Khanna's wife as a member of its parents association through 2023.

You know, our country would look far different in the political class feared us a little more. I don’t mean physical violence here, but I do mean removed from office as immediately as possible. Thune should fear his constituents far more than he fears a half dead, or maybe at this point, fully dead, Mitch McConnell.

Don’t get me wrong; the retard would get gobs of votes because we have gobs of retards voting (and gobs of fake ballots). But as close to an assured win as is possible in the country these days. Reagan 84 landslides not gonna happen again in my lifetime anyway…

and Imprison "the Epstein Class"
I find it amusing that the people that want to legalize paying a 17 year old (boy) for a beejer also use this phrase "The Epstein Class" as if to refer to others
The Epstein documents show a bunch of celebs, academics and leftwing pols associating with Epstein in various ways...but they don't mean these people - a couple of these academics faced minor consequences and the left's argument was this was a violation of those "Epstein Class" member's rights to free association and speech...

Khanna moved to California in late 2003, near as I can tell, having been raised in the Philly area and attended college at University of Chicago (Where fun goes to die") and Yale Law School (of course). He tried to run for Congress immediately, failed, worked for a couple of law firms for a few years and then taught part-time after his marriage in 2015. He moved to Washington soon thereafter, having finally got into Congress in 2017.
So his brief sojurn in California got him a job, and his wife got him FU money.
His FIL must really be disappointed in him, since he is a well-known GOP donor and big supporter of capitalism.

In other words, some poor schmuck is being paid minimum wage (or less) to type everything up on an IBM Selectric. Those are then being submitted in physical form and then some other poor schmuck turns them into non-OCR PDFs (images) for digital archiving.

In other words, some poor schmuck is being paid minimum wage (or less) to type everything up on an IBM Selectric.
To be fair, the Selectric and Selectric II have the best keyboards ever made. If I could get paid to type on one I'd do it.

Remember - Epstein was all just a fake phony comet pizza conspiracy theory according to them until they found a way out: Projection and Gaslighting.
I do see leftists occasionally mentioning Pizzagate stuff now which is hllarious.
Not only did they spend the whole of the Biden Junta years arguing there were no Epstein files they spent 8 years arguing Pizzagate was an op to distract the rubes run by Trump...

If Trump were the fascist the commies say he is, he would have confiscated Ro's golf courses, re-branded them as TRUMP courses, and held some big non-PGA but yuge payout tournaments on them. With hot chicks as caddies.

One reliable car for normal operation and if I lived in the NE/North one car that can handle snow and ice.
Though I guess if my goal was to pick up women then yes I'd need a third fancy car of some sort - something Italian that break all the time but looks cool when it is working...

The other "tell" that he's deliberately circumventing the letter and spirit of the law is that he's submitting them as "analog" format. In other words, some poor schmuck is being paid minimum wage (or less) to type everything up on an IBM Selectric. Those are then being submitted in physical form and then some other poor schmuck turns them into non-OCR PDFs (images) for digital archiving.
Though there are some wonderful tools that can turn images like that into a fully readable document now, thanks in part to AI.

The Soviet collectivization of agriculture is a study of just how fucking moronic Socialists are. “Kulaks” was one term.
You will own nothing, and they will kill you for merely pointing out “Hey, maybe this isn’t going to work, guys”. Naturally, it didn’t. Epic famine and starvation - millions died in Ukraine, some of the best farmland on the planet, due to starvation.
The Bolsheviks needed hard currency, so what little Wheat that was produced was diverted for Export. Possession of a single wheat berry would get you shot, family exiled to a gulag.

If you talk with leftwingers they are all onboard with the notion of a 100% tax on anyone that makes more then them.
And it is funny if a wealthier leftist starts talking with a less wealthy one because the former might start with "People that make more then $1M a year should be taxed at 100%" while the poorer one wants it at $100K which would hit the wealthier one...

First, the Supremes said dual citizenship is legal.
Then said every American Citizens has a RIGHT to vote.
Then put in Mail in voting, with States giving everyone a mail in ballot, with no ID check.
So, a ChiCom can come here, give birth, and take the kid home, who 18 years later can register to vote ONLINE (with no ID check) to any local address, then once in the system, change their address for voting.
Under the current rules imposed BY the Supreme Court, our elections can now easily and LEGALLY be tainted by Foreigners who never even lived here.

Trump was wealthy, but that's not why he won.
He won because he said the unsayable and got airtime for the message to get out. The media propped him up because they thought he would destroy the GOP, and the GOP was happy to oblige because there was no one the GOP hated more in 2015 than the base.
He said things people agreed with but no one else in the race (save Cruz in some instances) would come close to saying.
Remember when Scott Walker was going to be the Trump killer? He was going to take his great success in WI and just float to an easy 2nd place in the polls without trying. Building on his likeable charm and boringness combined with policy wins at the state level to appeal to the voters.
And then he went from "hard-nosed union fighter" to "wishy-washy say-nothing but definitely don't mean it on the most important issue of the day, immigration".

Upper caste Indian women are the most oppressed people in the world because of British colonialism.
A town I lived in had one black family but had a massive influx of Indians.
One of the black family's kids got in trouble for fighting at school and suddenly there was an "anti-racism" group arguing the school was racist and picking on the kid and the group was all Indian women.
Once the issue with the kid faded this new "anti-racism" group changed to arguing the town had to pay for Indian celebrations like Diwali and such hiring the businesses of those Indian women's husbands to provide the decorations/food/etc...
Funny how all this works huh?

Build the Wall.
Unfortunately we still don't have the big beautiful wall paid for by Mexico. Next best thing though is Trump 2.0 border /immigration enforcement.

Hasan knows about genocide given that he and his incl had a show called “The Young Turks.”
FFS, it’s a joke on people who don’t know history, they are seemingly proud of “The Young Turks” murderous ways.

Trump did not win because of build the wall. That is a highly questionable distillation of what happened in 2016.
Trump won principally because he understands marketing and branding AND how to fight. Better than anyone in politics.
He also had a major gap created by the America Hating Democrats and Lying Republicans (BIRM) and decided to take ownership of every scrap they tried to leave behind.
Trump knew how to speak, how to stand behind his words and most of all how to win. It didn't hurt that he can be quite entertaining when he speaks. Build the wall was part of that but only a part.

If you read the article, you'll see this is all driven by the wife's father. I seriously doubt Ro has any say in it. He definitely married into it and of course doesn't want these wealth redistribution policies applied to him / his family. But I'm pretty sure he didn't have a direct hand in how anything is structured, and it doesn't sound like much or anything is in his name. The father-in-law made all the money and is deciding how to tax-shield it (and create a dynasty of self-loathing uber-wealth leftists to try to destroy a self-determining society to keep themselves on top; in a fair world, the kids would eat him alive while he still had his faculties; only fair for Dr. Frankenstein to face his creations)

Consultants don't buy up these firms, they get hired to run or advise them by PE firms, who are the buyers. Consultants spread "best practices" and act as a buffer for taking blame for decisions management wants to make. Sometimes best practices are really better, sometimes they're a fad.
Buying a business and destroying it is a losing proposition, but there are incentives to take lots of risk and use lots of debt.

Well, lets say you are a rich psychopath invited to sit on the board of directors of say, a really large medical provider. Now technically that provider is a charity. It does okay, some years better than others. But has managed to expand massively because it has massive name recognition and can secure lots of money in loans due to lots and lots of brick and mortar collateral. Ooops. Overextended? Well we'll have to break this up a bit to get out from under - lets do sale and lease back of some of our brick and mortar. We can avoid real estate taxes, but trade for rent but also get an influx of cash now. (Did i not mention i have an interest in the company that is going to do the sale an leaseback arrangement?? Trifles) Oh, oopsy, we are still underwater, well maybe we should sell part of our operations to Hospital Corp of America . . . ( I mean its not like I have any interest in them either maybe some stock . . .) Do you think these things don't happen?

Of Course: The Five Liberal Supreme Court Justices (Including Liberals Roberts and Coney-Barrett) Decide the 14th Amendment Can Go Blow, Anyone Born in the US is a US Citizen
The Five Horsemen make a mockery of the law yet again.
That's the full awful left-wing holding. The liberals make two extraordinary claims. First, they claim that the 14th Amendment is based on the ancient British rule of the king being sovereign over anyone born in his lands. But even there they're forced to admit that that rule did not confer full jurisdiction over the person -- and it's silly to claim the one is based on the other anyway, as Thomas points out in his dissent. The other absurd horse they ride is that the Dred Scott decision was bad bad terra-bad and therefore, they seem to believe, they are required to create a fake rule that is 1000% the opposite of that. But that was taken care of -- the 14th Amendment was adopted precisely to repudicate Dred Scott and declare that former slaves born in the US, who also are not subject to any other jurisdiction but the US -- former slaves have no homeland or nation they owe primary allegiance to -- are US citizens. So why even discuss Dred Scott? It was specifically repudiated and has nothing to say about the Amendment adopted specifically to repudiate it. But they spend a huge chunk of their opinion discussing it because their own arguments are weak so they have to set up a straw-man -- if we don't adopt this fake rule and ignore the "subject to the jurisdiction" qualifier of the 14th Amendment, we're essentially re-implementing Dred Scott and that's just terrible, right?And Alito's dissent:
JUSTICE THOMAS, with whom JUSTICE GORSUCH joins,
dissenting. This Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How.
393 (1857), would have permanently denied citizenship to
blacks as "a subordinate and inferior class." Id., at 404--
405. After the Civil War, the Reconstruction Congress over-
ruled Dred Scott, first with the Civil Rights Act of 1866,
then with the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amend-
ment. Both the Civil Rights Act and the Citizenship Clause
guaranteed citizenship to persons born and domiciled in the
United States regardless of their race. Neither guaranteed
citizenship to persons who were not domiciled in the United
States. Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were
Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no alle-
giance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other
authority. They "fought and bled in the same battles,"
"gained and gloried in the same victories," and were "liable
to be called upon to defend [America] in time of war" along-
side every other citizen. 2 Life and Writings of Frederick
Douglass 256, 266 (P. Foner ed. 1950) (Douglass). The Cit-
izenship Clause thus guaranteed them the "dignity and
glory of American citizenship," so as to ensure that they
would never be treated as second class under the law.
Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U. S. 537, 555 (1896) (Harlan, J.,
dissenting). The same could not be said for the children of foreign tem-
porary visitors. Foreign temporary visitors were attached
to their home country, lacked similar bonds to this country,
and would not be called upon in time of war. Americans,
consistent with their settler ethos, believed that citizens
were the people who called a place home. Accordingly, dom-
icile--a person's legal home--played a key role in both state
and national citizenship in America. A person was a "citi-
zen" of the state where he had his "domicil." Barber v. Bar-
ber, 21 How. 582, 599 (1859). When foreigners temporarily
visited, their "national character" was unchanged. The Ve-
nus, 8 Cranch 253, 278--279 (1814). Such visitors were
"strangers," not "subjects." Id., at 278. A person born here
but domiciled in a foreign land was therefore considered "as
much a stranger to the country as his father." 1 H. St.
George Tucker, Commentaries on the Laws of Virginia 57
(1836) (Tucker). That is why, when Dred Scott went to court, he argued
that to be a "citizen," "it is only necessary that he should
have acquired a domicil." Brief for Plaintiff in Dred Scott v.
Sandford, D. T. 1855, No. 7, p. 6. (Brief for Dred Scott). Af-
ter this Court held that Scott was not a citizen because he
was black, Republicans in Congress, such as Representa-
tive John Bingham, stated that a person was a citizen if he
was "born and domiciled" in the United States. Cong.
Globe, 35th Cong., 2d Sess., 983 (1859). Scott was a citizen,
in their view, because he was born to Americans, not to
"temporary sojourners." Cong. Globe, 35th Cong., 1st Sess.,
210 (185
had put it, the freedmen sought citizenship "not as aliens
nor as exiles," but as "Americans." 2 Douglass 255 (empha-
sis added). Congress implemented the principle that citizenship fol-
lows birth and domicile in the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and
then in the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amend-
ment. The Civil Rights Act guaranteed citizenship to per-
sons who were both "born in the United States" and, as rel-
evant here, "not subject to any foreign power." Act of Apr.
9, 1866, 14 Stat. 27. The phrase "not subject to any foreign
power" excluded from citizenship children of foreign tempo-
rary visitors, who were subject to the power of their home
nation. See, e.g., The Pizarro, 2 Wheat. 227, 246 (1817); The
Venus, 8 Cranch, at 278--279. The Citizenship Clause,
which the same Congress passed shortly after the Civil
Rights Act, was understood to have the same meaning. It
guaranteed citizenship to persons who were both "born . . .
in the United States" and "subject to the jurisdiction
thereof." Amdt. 14, §1. A person was subject to the jurisdiction of the govern-
ment of his domicile. "Domicil" was "the foundation of ju-
risdiction over persons." 1 T. Twiss, The Law of Nations
239 (1861) (Twiss). The government of a person's domicile
had broad power over that person, including with respect to
his personal affairs, his conduct abroad, his personal taxes,
and the mutual duties of protection and allegiance. So, as
the Senator who introduced the Citizenship Clause ex-
plained, "the word 'jurisdiction,' as here employed, ought to
be construed so as to imply a full and complete jurisdiction
. . . the same jurisdiction in extent and quality as applies to
every citizen of the United States now." Cong. Globe, 39th
Cong., 1st Sess., 2895 (1866) (statement of Sen. Howard).
After all, Congress "would have no right to make citizens"
of "persons temporarily resident." Id., at 572 (statement of
Sen. Trumbull). The Citizenship Clause was consistently interpreted not
to apply to the children of foreign temporary visitors, who
were by definition not domiciled in the United States. Re-
gardless of administration or party, the Federal Govern-
ment for decades after ratification regularly denied claims
to citizenship by children who were born in the United
States but not domiciled here. When a child was "born" in
the United States to parents "domiciled" abroad, he was
"not, therefore, under the statute and the Constitution a
citizen of the United States by birth." Letter from Sec. of
State T. Bayard to B. Winchester (Nov. 28, 1885), in 2 F.
Wharton, Digest of International Law 399--400 (2d ed.
1887) (Wharton Digest). Scholars agreed: A child "born
within the territory of the United States, of alien parents"
was not a citizen unless his parents were "permanently
domiciled within the United States." W. Robinson, Notes
on Elementary Law 70 (1875). This Court agreed: The Cit-
izenship Clause "exclude[d] from its operation children of
. . . citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the
United States." Slaughter-House Cases, 16 Wall. 36, 73
(1873). And, Congress agreed: The Citizenship Clause did
not extend to a child born here but "subject to any foreign
power." See Enforcement Act of 1870, §18, 16 Stat. 144
(reenacting Act of Apr. 9, 1866, 14 Stat. 27). As Justice
Harlan would write in his dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163
U. S. 537, the Citizenship Clause "gave citizenship to all
born or naturalized in the United States and residing here."
Id., at 563 (emphasis added). The Court offers a different account. American citizen-
ship, the Court says, was based on a medieval English "feu-
dal" principle, according to which each person "owed per-
sonal service to the lord of the soil" as his "master"--a
perpetual servitude that was "born with the child and only
ended in the grave." 2 Cong. Rec. 3282 (1874) (statement of
Rep. Cox). Americans, the Court says, adopted this feudal
principle as a rule of American citizenship "with little fan-
fare." Ante, at 4. Then, according to the Court, the Recon-
struction Congress codified that feudal principle with the
words "not subject to any foreign power" in the Civil Rights
Act and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof " in the Citizen-
ship Clause. Then, the Court says, the Clause's meaning
was definitively settled by dicta in United States v. Wong
Kim Ark, 169 U. S. 649 (189
accurate. The Court says that the Citizenship Clause in-
corporated the English feudal principle that subjects owed
lifetime servitude to the King who owned the soil on which
they were born, but Americans--unsurprisingly--rejected
this feudal principle. The Court's theory of American citi-
zenship is based on the opinion of a New York assistant vice
chancellor in an inheritance dispute called Lynch v. Clarke,
1 Sand. Ch. 583, 584--585 (N. Y. Ch. 1844). Ante, at 6--10.
But, the assistant vice chancellor's reasoning, whatever it
was worth, was not even followed in New York by the time
of the Citizenship Clause. Finally, the Court reasons that
dicta in Wong Kim Ark settled the meaning of the Clause.
But, Wong Kim Ark itself emphasized that its holding was
limited to persons domiciled in the United States. And,
scholars and government officials continued to agree after
Wong Kim Ark that the Citizenship Clause did not extend
to the children of foreign temporary visitors. The rule re-
mained what it always was: A child born on American soil
of "a stranger or traveler passing through the country, or
temporarily residing here," was "not a citizen." H. Black,
Handbook of American Constitutional Law 634 (3d ed.
1910). The Court today takes the extraordinary step of holding
facially unconstitutional the President's Order excluding
from citizenship the children of foreign temporary visitors
and illegal aliens. In doing so, the Court adds to the sad
history of the Fourteenth Amendment, which was designed
and understood to secure equal rights for the freed blacks
but has instead been repurposed for political projects that
the Reconstruction Congress did not support. Because
many potential applications of the President's Order are
consistent with the original public meaning of the Citizen-
ship Clause, I respectfully dissent.
JUSTICE ALITO, dissenting. This is one of the most important decisions in the historyAlito makes some strong points about the majority of liberals' insane claim that a rule of the British monarchy deciding who was a subject of the king's tyrannical power should dictate the rule of the American democracy about who is granted the rights and priviliges of citizenship. Subjecthood and citizenship aren't the same, you know.
of the Court, and in my judgment, the Court has made a
serious mistake. As interpreted by the Court today, the
Fourteenth Amendment confers citizenship on virtually
everyone who happens to be born in this country, including
the children of "birth tourists," women who come here solely
for the purpose of giving birth to a child and then promptly
return home. Careful analysis of the text of the Fourteenth
Amendment and the process that led to its adoption shows
that it does not degrade the concept of United States citi-
zenship in this way. Instead, the Fourteenth Amendment
confers citizenship on only those children who, at birth, owe
allegiance solely to this country. Respecting this interpretation would not require uproot-
ing the millions of children who were born here to mothers
who entered or remained in this country illegally. Those
children are not responsible for their parents' violation of
our immigration laws, and their plight is the result of a long
period during which a coterie of actors--Executive Branch
officials, States and cities, and a variety of private groups--
sent the message to would-be immigrants that our
immigration laws should not be taken too seriously. This
message, coupled with ineffective or unenthusiastic en-
forcement, spurred massive illegal immigration and the
growth of a large contingent of people who were born here
to mothers unlawfully present in this country. Some mem-
bers of this group have lived here for years, and they have
a strong moral claim to be able to remain in the land where
they grew up. Congress can and should address their situation. The
Fourteenth Amendment dictates who must be a citizen, but
it does not address who may be a citizen by Act of Congress.
Congress has conferred citizenship on many people who are
not made citizens by the Fourteenth Amendment, including
children born abroad to American citizen parents. These
people and the millions of immigrants who have been natu-
ralized are no less American than those who are fortunate
enough to be born here. For these reasons, the original meaning of the Fourteenth
Amendment does not require inhumane results, and we
should not adopt an erroneous interpretation of the Four-
teenth Amendment simply out of fear of the consequences
of "rocking the boat" or as a reaction to current immigration
policy. Nor should we take the position that our hands are tied
by dicta in a sprawling 19th-century opinion that is, to put
the point gently, very far from a model of careful judicial
craftsmanship. Too much is at stake. United States citizenship is precious. Anyone who has
attended a ceremony where citizens are naturalized can see
that message on the faces of those who take the citizenship
oath. Before saddling the Nation with a medieval rule, we
had better be certain the Constitution requires it.
The Court's account of the birthright-citizenship rule in
American law is roughly as follows. After American inde-
pendence, the British rule of birthright subjecthood was
modified in just one way (to take account of Indians who
lived under tribal governance), but otherwise the rule was
transplanted intact to American soil. As modified, the rule
was that a child born in this country is automatically an
American citizen unless the child is born to tribal Indians
or to a diplomat with immunity from legal process. During
the period before the Civil War, the rule's status was firm.
After the war, Congress codified the rule in §1 of the Four-
teenth Amendment. And in United States v. Wong Kim Ark,
169 U. S. 649 (189
confirming what Congress had done.
Every step of this story is incorrect. The Declaration of
Independence repudiated the foundation on which the Brit-
ish rule was based. See infra, at 5. From 1776 until the eve
of the Civil War, the status of the rule in this country was
unsettled. There is no evidence establishing that the Con-
stitution's references to citizens incorporated the British
rule, infra, at 5--8, and until the eve of the Civil War, there
was little litigation about the meaning of American citizen-
ship, infra, at 9--11. After the war, Congress finally adopted
a constitutional provision, §1 of the Fourteenth Amend-
ment, making certain persons citizens at birth, but that
provision differed substantially from the British rule. It
specified that a person born here is not a citizen unless his
allegiance to the United States is unimpaired by any obli-
gations to a foreign power. Infra, at 11--22. And while
Wong Kim Ark included dicta suggesting that the Four-
teenth Amendment incorporates the British rule, its actual
holding was much narrower, infra, at 22--28, and under
that interpretation, respondents' challenge to Executive
Order No. 14160, Protecting the Meaning and Value of
American Citizenship, fails, infra, at 36--39. I A According to the Court, the Fourteenth Amendment's Cit-
izenship Clause codified the British rule of birthright
subjecthood with only one new exception, which was needed
to accommodate the unique status of American Indians.
That is a curious claim, and it is ironic that the Court
should embrace it only days before we celebrate the 250th
anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, which em-
phatically renounced the foundation on which the British
rule rested.
That rule did not concern "citizenship." There was no
such thing as a "citizen" of England, Scotland, or Ireland.
The inhabitants of the British Isles were the King's "sub-
jects." As Sir Edward Coke explained in Calvin's Case, 7
Co. Rep. 1a, 77 Eng. Rep. 377 (K. B. 160
that status automatically at birth, and they retained it, like
it or not, until they died. Id., at 4b, 77 Eng. Rep., at 382;
see id., at 9b, 77 Eng. Rep., at 388 (even a subject who ab-
jures the realm "oweth the King his ligeance"). This status
arose from a feudal understanding of the origin of govern-
mental authority and the relationship between those who
govern and those who are governed. The King's authority
was understood to come from God. Id., at 12b--13a, 77 Eng.
Rep., at 390--391. As Coke put it, a King ruled by the law
of nature. Ibid. And birth established the bond between
King and subject, id., at 4b, 77 Eng. Rep., at 382, just as
birth establishes the bond between parent and child.
In Calvin's Case, the question was whether a man born
in Scotland was a subject of King James I of England, who
acceded to the thrones of both Scotland and England before
the man's birth. Id., at 2a, 77 Eng. Rep., at 379. In a fa-
mous speech to Parliament, James I forcefully explained his
views about the source of his authority and his relationship
with his subjects. The King, he proclaimed, sits "upon
GOD[']s throne" and is the "father of his people." March 21,
1609 A Speach to the Lords and Commons of the Parlia-
ment at White-Hall, in The Political Works of James I,
p. 307 (C. McIlwain ed. 191
Well this sucks. We need a real conservative justice to at least win most of these 5-4.
Eric Schmitt will introduce a Constitutional amendment to wipe away this stain:
Senator Eric Schmitt
@SenEricSchmitt
The Supreme Court's birthright citizenship decision is wrong, dangerous, and disastrous for American sovereignty and the American people. If we can't fix it with ordinary legislation, then we must do what the Constitution commands in moments of national crisis: We must amend the Constitution and restore American citizenship. We must again put "We the People" first. The Supreme Court's decision constitutionalizing unlimited birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens and temporarily present aliens is wrong--and disastrous for our sovereignty and the future of our republic. The decision exposes America to grave national security risks and threatens to erode the integrity of the core of American self-government: citizenship. Citizenship is more than paperwork issued by the government. It is more than a bureaucratic label that grants access to government programs. Citizenship is the covenantal bond between a nation and its people. In a republic like ours, that bond carries enormous weight. In the United States, sovereignty does not belong to a king or a ruling class. It belongs to the American people themselves. Citizenship defines the legal recognition of who the American people are. Citizenship defines the political community that governs the United States. It defines who exercises the sovereign authority of this republic. But under the Supreme Court's erroneous interpretation, the Constitution now requires citizenship for anyone who happens to be born on U.S. soil. Even if their parents entered the country illegally. In other words, even if the American people--the citizenry--have prohibited those parents from entering our territory. Even if they are here only temporarily as tourists or on student visas. Even if they have no intention of joining the American nation. That is a dramatic departure from how serious nations understand citizenship. Under the Supreme Court's decision, citizenship no longer reflects allegiance or loyalty to a country and its laws. It becomes an administrative status to be seized by interlopers. This ruling is the final alarm bell. The bond of American citizenship has slowly eroded through a series of Supreme Court opinions, congressional actions and inactions, and circumstances the Framers of our Constitution and the Fourteenth Amendment could not have foreseen. The result is a constitutional order in which the American people are losing control over the most basic question in any republic: who belongs to the political community that governs the nation. This has been the central fight of my work in this important year for American national identity. I led an amicus brief in this very case. I convened a hearing on birthright citizenship and the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment. I have pressed this issue because citizenship is the threshold question of the republic. If we lose control of citizenship, we lose control of self-government itself. In the wake of an erroneous Supreme Court ruling like this one, Congress has a duty to examine the Constitution's text, the historical record, and the policy consequences. Congress also has the power to respond. When the Court mistakenly interprets a statute, Congress can amend the statute through bicameralism and presentment. But when the Court entrenches its mistake as a constitutional command, the remedy must match the injury. Congress can propose an amendment under Article V, and the states can ratify it. That process is purposefully difficult. It requires two-thirds of each chamber of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states. Here, the Supreme Court issued a constitutional ruling. Ordinary legislation cannot repair the damage. A constitutional amendment is now required. Accordingly, I will be announcing a forthcoming constitutional amendment to restore the sacred bond between American citizens and their government. That amendment will restore the original American understanding of citizenship. It will restore the right of the American people to define their own political community. And it will ensure that citizenship once again reflects allegiance, permanence, and membership in the American nation. This amendment accords with the text, history, and tradition of the Constitution and the American conception of citizenship. It restores the principle embodied in the Civil Rights Act of 1866, the law that formed the basis for the Fourteenth Amendment. As my amicus brief in this case explained, the law contained a citizenship provision establishing that "all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power" would be granted birthright citizenship. That provision was understood to grant birthright citizenship to children born of parents domiciled in the United States while clearly excluding children born to foreign parents temporarily visiting the United States. And as my brief recounts, the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted to constitutionalize the Civil Rights Act of 1866. The original American understanding of citizenship was never a suicide pact. It was never a weapon for illegal entry, temporary presence, demographic conquest, or foreign influence. Left unaddressed, this Supreme Court decision will destroy the republic. A nation that cannot determine who belongs to its political community will lose control of its sovereignty and its unique character and traditions as new generations of unassimilated foreigners are automatically granted citizenship. We have seen exactly what this process looks like as foreign communists have essentially taken over New York City politics. We cannot allow this Supreme Court decision to consign the rest of our nation to the same fate. Today is a sad day in the history of our republic. But America and the Constitution have survived for 250 years because each generation has had patriots who, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, valiantly fought back the existential threats this great nation has faced. Our generation's existential threat is a hostile takeover through mass migration. We must--and we will--honor the patriots who came before us by doing our part to ensure we pass on America, the Constitution, and our nation--the real versions, not desiccated husks. That work begins with restoring the right of the American people to decide who joins the political community that governs the United States and exercises the people's sovereignty.

I have no idea how they grappled with the fact that hundreds of thousands of American Indians were born in the United States without becoming United States citizens, until the 1920s.
Prior to the 1920s, most tribes were sovereign - if you were Sioux, you were a citizen of the Sioux Nation, not the United States.
There was a naturalization process for Indians to become US citizens, if they wished, but it wasn't a given.

The Birthright decision makes no sense, is not what the intent of the amendment is as expressed by the writers of the amendment and is a wholly made concoction of the courts.
I see no way forward except the implementation of strenuous and rigorous immigration and border enforcement and the immediate expulsion of any foreign woman in the custody of the United States to either their home country or to a location outside of the country to await any proceedings and proceedings will be conducted via CCTV.

Citizenship is the covenantal bond between a nation and its people.
-
It should be.
It isn't because we have tolerated far too many people, especially these courts, who do not share the founding values of this country, nor it's allegiance to God as the source of the Rights we claim, to continue to live among us.
That needs to stop. Deport the illegals. Exile the progressives. Execute any who don't leave voluntarily.
It probably won't have to go that far if they believe we're willing to go that far, but our current insistence on going along to get along just cannot continue.

JUSTICE THOMAS, ... dissenting.
This Court's decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford, 19 How. 393 (1857), would have permanently denied citizenship to blacks as "a subordinate and inferior class." ... Blacks were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans. They had no other homeland, owed no allegiance to any foreign power, and were subject to no other authority.
He writes very beautifully.

Good afternoon Ace.
During the debates about the 14th amendment the Michigan senator argued for a limited interpretation of equal protection as applying only to freed slaves. A Conn senator argued that it should be expansive. The Michigan senator won out in how it was written.
However the courts have decided like the Conn senator won.

Somewhat related: I've seen several comments on X noting that Germany's loss to Paraguay after listless play in the World Cup is going to boost the votes for the AfD.
Why? The "German" team is no longer German, but is rather multinational, and the resulting poor quality of play is symbolic of what has been happening to Germany as a whole.

This here from the dissent:
"Foreign temporary visitors were attached to their home country, lacked similar bonds to this country, and would not be called upon in time of war."
Uh, all male U.S. citizens are required by law to register with the Selective Service System. This applies even if they're overseas.
The usual (and lamentable) 5-year statute of limitations applies, so I'm sure the Chinese and Muslim anchor boys know enough not to "return" to their "native land" to do their mischief until they're 30 years old.
But we could still start enforcing this wherever possible.

Despite all the other wins, this one in many ways was the most important. Sure, smashing independent agencies, giving Trump the power to fire subordinates, and stopping Hawaii's "vampire law" for gun owners are all important, but screwing up birthright citizenship in many ways makes things moot, and it can change the nation's demographics and voter base, which changes politics and politicians supported, eventually changing the nation and culture.

The only good news from this clusterfuck of a decision is that it doesn't change anything.
We've been living in a world of unlimited birthright citizenship for 100 years. No president -- not even conservative heroes like Reagan -- would touch it. Trump took a shot. He missed.
We have lost nothing. We are where we were 24 hours ago. Sure, if we won it would have been Absolutely Fucking Yuge.

But when the Court entrenches its mistake as a constitutional command, the remedy must match the injury. Congress can propose an amendment under Article V, and the states can ratify it. That process is purposefully difficult. It requires two-thirds of each chamber of Congress and ratification by three-quarters of the states.

Which mean is won't happen.
The foreigners control the vote producing and counting procedures of too many states for that to be possible.

This Court decison was predictable in the same way as the sturm und drang in the Congress about SAVE.
There is always a push and pull in a system like ours. Institutions will throw the occasional treat to the subject classes, particularly if they're looking restive, today.
But they'll sooner kill the Gracchi brothers or lock up Donald Trump than give an inch toward a populist reform that limits their power, today.
Anchor babies and vote fraud are both core & salient features of our ruling class' Current Year Project, and they won't countenance any contradiction from the Court or Congress, and these ruling class Institutions wish to remain ruling class Institutions, so they won't offer it.

What solutions to the on-going troubles do any Morons have? More talky talk? Some hopes and prayers? Putting our future in the Hands of the Almighty for a just and right end?
What? If not that, what?
The moslems will not confer and discuss, they will begin anew to bleed the US and dance and shout. The moss-kuh building projects will start and they will gleefully use Christian churches as anchors for the New Middle East. Your asses will be in the air five times a day and you'll LIKE it you raysis or you'll be enslaved or dead.

Eric Schmitt is a Senator to watch in the future. Although a first termer heis determined to not be a back bench drone. And, get this, his mind is right.

I wouldnt be surprised if you suddenly see hundreds of thousands if not millions now claim to be US citizens since they were born here?

Sadly, this will all end in blood, as has always been the case. Time after time, country after country, the 'elites' are presented with the opportunity to turn away from the coming slaughter and always they refuse. I don't know when or where it will start but it is as sure as the sun rising in the east.

This case was always going to be an uphill climb. The text of the 14th amendment is pretty non-restrictive aside from Indians. You have to go into the same kind of weeds liberals use to deny the plain text of the 2nd amendment to make the 14th mean what we want.

The United States of America stands in the way. And because it stands in the way, it must be destroyed.
It is altogether too powerful, rich and free. Its people are straightforward, industrious, largely content, and barring grievous provocation, peaceful. When roused, there is no force on earth that can contend against us when we are angry and united in purpose.
So, our destruction is to be carried out from within.
God willing, the people will be roused, and will motivate the frauds who "represent" us to change the ridiculous situation that now permits our enemies to claim citizenship, diluting not only our rights as actual citizens, but forever tarnishing the glory of US citizenship.

I think the tax code is the way to address at least some of this.
Congress has wide latitude on passing tax legislation, usually just needs a bare majority. Not the 60+ Senators.
Tax the fuck out of any foreigner that touches our soil. If they have a kid here, that's a tax. Our tax code has all sorts of provisions for people living abroad.
This has ALWAYS been about money for these people. You take away that incentive and these people wont be a problem.

It means nothing because the citizenship of those children were not at issue. Those children have parents who are citizens. They are citizens under a section of the constitution not in dispute. A legally adopted child is absolutely no different than a child who was biologically born to the adoptive parents. This includes their birth certificates listing the parents and there is zero notation of an adoption on a birth certificate.

This isn't even a congress thing anymore, SCOTUS has ruled that anyone born in the US regardless of circumstances is a US Citizen as enshrined in the 14th.
Forget about amendments, that's not happening, ever.
So again, the only way forward is rigorous interior, border and visa enforcement.

One thing I'm curious about, do dissents ever come up in subsequent cases? I suppose this could come back to a different court someday. Would Thomas's dissent be quotable as an argument to overturn Trump vs Barbara?

States then have to elect Delegates to go and propose the Amendment
Immediate butt fuckery immediately would ensue as some would demand 2nd Amendment be deleted amongst a fuck ton of other ridiculous non-sense. Not to mention all the Grandstanding for Social Media Click Bait.
We wouldn't even get past step 1. But if it did, In the end nothing would get done. Because it is now obvious some States/Territories have turned this little loophole into Big Money via Birth Tourism, Federal Welfare Bucks, and Manipulating the Census to rig representation in the House.

Birthright citizenship, as it is currently applied, rests on a court decision to mean “any child born in the US under any circumstances”. The interpretation of ‘resident’ is wildly broad. This is currently insanity, when illegal aliens and citizens of other countries deliberately come here to drop children with US citizenship. There’s a statistic I’ve seen where China alone will have a million children with US voting rights in a few years.
The Trump EO was and is not the proper vehicle for revising the existing interpretation, but I had hoped the ensuing court case would. The oral arguments seemed to miss the point, and possibly the entire case before the Supremes was too narrow to alter the existing interpretation.
IMO, the Constitutional amendment is fine as written, the interpretation of resident is insane. We have too much of congress that has been bought by globalists to fix the situation by either legislation or amendment. If this court couldn’t see the need to fix this issue, I fear it remains unfixable.

Technically, a future court could overturn the decision because the whole 14th Birthright issue was irrelevant to the core holding that the President may not dictate birthright citizenship via an executive order. Thus, obiter dicta on the rest of the blathering by the majority.
So a future court, COULD, mind you, distinguish this decision from a future one if Congress passes a law. Immigration and naturalization is a plenary power of Congress, not the courts. If Congress even wanted to, it could also do a Bricker amendment stripping the Court of any jurisdiction in immigration cases (see Ex Parte McCardle).
But the current limp dicked Senate majority under Thune would never even consider it nor would it blow up the filibuster over it. Corporations want their cheap ass labor yo.

Hell. They don't see the other half of their counties abutting on those cities because they're too busy with environmental issues like grabbing more "greenery" natural land zone buffers, greenway paths, reconstructing round-a-bouts in roads through their towns to make them so much slower to navigate and therefore undesirable for travel. (A Buttigieg stunt in Indiana.)
Oh, and separating major state roads for bike paths, ergo the non-elite can almost NOT drive for fear of striking gig workers, environmentalists, and children that go unattended and wild.
Lastly, they spend a lot of time keeping their children in private schools (including Quaker, Muslim) and "better" universities so they "fit in" with both transnational elitists and our own homegrown commie A-holes.

"Pew Research (for 2023): An estimated 4.6 million U.S.-born children were living with at least one unauthorized immigrant parent. Annual births to unauthorized or temporary-status mothers were about 320,000 (9% of ~3.6 million total U.S. births), with roughly 245,000–300,000 specifically tied to unauthorized parents in recent years."
This does not include a large number of "birth tourists" that returned to China or Mexico (or points unknown) over the decades. It was long ago popular for (even middle class?) Mexicans to give birth in USA so they could at some point claim their prize money.

A country they recognized and waged war upon. The reconstruction amendments were hurried in before the defeated Confederate States America went through the voting to join again. The newly conquered territories were not and still are not part of the United States as spelled out in the Constitution OR Nevada and Vermont aren't.

End dual citizenship. That way illegal aliens aren't citizens since they are citizens of their mother's nation. In the case where the parents are not from the same nation, Roberts could logically prevail but if momma's going bye-bye, I bet most would choose to have the child go home with them.
Also, it would make those adults who have chosen to get foreign citizenship surrender their US citizenship.

I got to thinking about this and there is a simple way to fix that kind of text in the future.
1. Get Notepad++. It's a freeware text editor for Windows.
2. Paste the text into a new document.
3. Go to the Edit menu and choose Replace.
4. Put in \r\n in the "Find what" box.
5. Put a space in the "Replace with" box.
Done! all the hard coded new lines will be replaced with a single space. If needed, you can always add line breaks as you see fit.
Much easier than doing all that by hand.

Turnaround visibly pregnant women.
Ai say dogs can smell pregnancy.
That will catch some (most) of the early stages.
Make them sign a paper acknowledging that it is a felony crime to defraud the US gov and give birth while on Visa. You're anchor baby may be a US citizen but you're going to break rocks for a spell. Also you'll never be allowed in US again.
Every visting women must visit a pregnancy check clinic every 2 months and subject to urine test.

It means nothing because the citizenship of those children were not at issue. Those children have parents who are citizens. They are citizens under a section of the constitution not in dispute. A legally adopted child is absolutely no different than a child who was biologically born to the adoptive parents. This includes their birth certificates listing the parents and there is zero notation of an adoption on a birth certificate.

The good news is when the Court is fully leftard we won't have any more June suspense about the decisions. Or November. Or any time.
In fact the true suspense will be what cases they take up and even that will only be the ones where they can do lasting damage.

De facto Elric is right. But this shoves the unpleasant mess into the political system and is likely to be a new litmus test for any GOP appointed justice--and Roberts just stained his tattered judicial legacy even more. ACB will have a similar legacy to Sandra Day O'Conner who made a mess of constitutional interpretation.
Court decisions on the Constitution are not meant to be warm fuzzy self congratulatory social virtue signalling.

With due respect, the Court's account is not historically
accurate. The Court says that the Citizenship Clause in-
corporated the English feudal principle that subjects owed
lifetime servitude to the King who owned the soil on which
they were born, but Americans--unsurprisingly--rejected
this feudal principle.

"With due respect,". This is great. How much respect is due to someone who gets the most basic thing wrong? Very little, I would say, and I suspect that's what Thomas is saying here.
Also, whatever happened to "No Kings"!

Worse is we no longer have any say about any of this. The long road to destroying what it means to being an American citizen finally succeeded. The road to our destruction is now paved.

If this "birthright citizenship" ruling holds, and is unable to be thwarted by either clarifying legislation or by Constitutional Amendment, then it should become the policy of the United States that every "birthright baby" upon that baby's 18th birthday shall be immediately inducted into the US military, and shall immediately and accordingly report for duty; and that failure to do so is equivalent to desertion, or if that person has fled the US then that person shall be extradited back to the US for a desertions courts martial.

elaboration. I worked with an engineer who was going through the immigration process from India. She said when things would go badly she and her husband would say, "well we can always go back if things get worse." (This was when deep state operatives were stalling visa renewals in Trump I). However, when her baby was born, according to her, she had to burn that bridge because India does not recognize dual citizenship, her baby was American or Indian.

I thought the core holding was that the 14th guarantees birthright citizenship, regardless of which branch says otherwise.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia
======
Nope, it is obiter dicta, not that you would get that from the media. There was no law of Congress at issue in the case (cites to the citizenship laws of 1940 were not core to the case). In this case, like Wong Ark Kim, it dealt with administrative actions only, not the power of Congress.
So yes, like the death penalty, if Congress speaks, another bite at the apple is possible (especially as Kavanaugh argues just this point in his concurrence. Happened quite a bit over Roe jurisprudence.
So it takes one justice being replaced on the current court majority and by making the ruling prospective based on a new Congressional law, removes the messiness of revoking current citizenship.
Trump forced the court majority to rub its faces in shit with this decision and it is probably not going to be as long lived as ACB or Roberts would have hoped. And it blows up for good the rather stupid arguments put forward by Shipwrecked Crew commentator that ACB and Roberts are pragmatists. This as far from pragmatic as it can be.

I honestly believe that the trend among my peers and slightly older parents to adopt foreign children - even in cases where they were fertile or even had their own kids - has lead to a desire to "share the wealth" of foreign child support vis-a-vis generous immigration to the USA.
and this.
it's a stain on Gen X tbh. some of the smartest people I know adopted eastern euro kids instead of having their own, not in addition! but because "we don't want to overpopulate"
ok so Mr and Mrs 130 IQ don't procreate instead they're bailing out FAS adopted 30 year old "kids". sounds great.

233 Too much spinning, and side arguments. Revisit when we have a normal court be and be done with it. Hopefully there will be challenge to some sane law passed by congress, and then 5/4 sane majority will rule the insane notion that the King and his "Jurisdiction" are still relevant in the USA.
good prescription runner
yeah and I think the anti-invasion sentiment is rising and it won't be stopped by this or anything else.
so like Nova was saying, just keep pushing on deportation and immigration restrictions
just keep after it. the tide IS turning despite lame-ass "elite" Xers like Amy and John.

Senator Eric Schmitt
@SenEricSchmitt
The Supreme Court's birthright citizenship decision is wrong, dangerous, and disastrous for American sovereignty and the American people. If we can't fix it with ordinary legislation, then we must do what the Constitution commands in moments of national crisis: We must amend the Constitution...
_____
Why can't we fix it with legislation? Just get majority passed legislation that says the court got it wrong, put in Thomas' and Alito's dissents, and say the court can't change the meaning of words written by duly elected legislators, and bar the courts from ruling on it any further.

210 It's just sickening that we "technically" have a 6-3 majority but our side constantly finds a way to score a goal for the other team.
Can you imagine if there were 6 justices that were Dem appointed how "bold" they would be with remaking America in their image?
Posted by: Sharpie
It was really five to four. Kavanaugh had a concurrence that technically joined the majority in ruling Trump did not have that power but punted it to Congress whether it did. And Kavanaugh's concurrence is what needs to be followed by future court litigation. After either Roberts, Sotomayor, or one of the other justices on the majority step down. Or if the GOP decides to call the Dems bluff and expand the court to 13-15 which is not looking that bad now. 13 would make it one justice per circuit.

So is the birthright decision. We won't have a country much longer at this rate and the Muzzies have specifically targeted this country for conquest. Institutions like Scotus have abjectly failed as has Congress in abandoning their role to promote America rather than their multiple foreign interests and affections.
And that is because the ruling class in the West are anti nationalism, anti their existing populations, and anti borders. Last time such a combo ruled the West, we got WWI and the Napoleonic Wars which might as well have been called pre WWI.

The key to effective immigration policy, and to keep our status as a sovereign nation, has always been sane immigration law and effective border control. We failed utterly and miserably at that. For decades.
If you don't want your house crawling with rats, you stop them from getting in. You don't invite them in and then try to get rid of them. Immigration is exactly the same.
The reality is that under democrap presidents, we have invited in tens of millions of invaders and allowed them to stay pending their immigration cases. During that time, they were technically legally here.
If they had a baby, that baby would be a citizen -- even if we won the BRC case. Because nobody disputed that the children of foreigners legally here would be citizens.

Have only read a bit of the ridiculous and catastrophic ruling, but seems the key part. The complete fabrication of the import of the 14th, total disregard of its context and explicit purpose as clearly explained by those who wrote and passed it. Didn't realize they beclowned themselves with bizarre and comical excursions into British monarchical concepts.
The 250th is already hollow and unintentionally ironic for so many reasons, but this fresh and histrionic example of the lawlessness of the judiciary and the collapse of the system is like a skyrocket illuminating the scene.

I’m amazed how little citizenship means to these jerks. They can’t even write their majority opinion to make sense.
As with everything that comes out of leftwing judges this has nothing to do with the law or Constitution. They had an outcome and the opinion they wrote is them torturing words to try and come up with an argument for their ruling

"There are remedies. Sorry for reposting a gazillion times, but obviously pregnant women entering on tourist visas have to open their wallets to Border Patrol to show that they have enough money to cover labor and delivery if they pop before their visa expires."
I wouldn't even let it get that far. Blood test for pregnancy before visa approval. If you are pregnant, you stay home until you pop your kid.

So they just ignored it, yes, but with no explanation at all, that I saw. Maybe they tried to cover it (like with a pillow) with the incorrect thing about British subjects. They just think we should be nicer, and not so racist and xenophobic, I suppose.

Boned. No change as current, but boned. Trains, planes, and automobiles make this a crisis. Immigrants sailing on old ships or even new ships made it tolerable.
Nevertheless, it calls for an administration to pregnancy test visitors to stop. Also must pass new laws against birth tourism (maybe there are already?), but CA and others won't enforce. The court always puts these extraordinary steps in play.

No need to buy expensive houses or have lavish parties. They can have a bar and meeting rooms in each building. Which will have 24 hour cam and sound surveillance.

Enough with the ludicrous fantasies of barring pregnant foreigners from entry. That is, those you even have any control over (though the illegal flow has been - temporarily - reduced quite effectively). Would never happen, and would be "struck down" by a court in a picosecond if it did. On what basis? That's a funny sort of question when dealing with the wreckage of our constitutional system. No sensible or even non-insane basis required.

Besides - and whig can probably enlighten here - doesn't the "ruling" rule out any "fix"? They absurdly claim to believe the 14th answers the question. Legislation can't repeal an amendment. So any "fix" is ipso facto unconstitutional until the 14th is repealed.

So true. The deliberate inertia regarding remedies we actually had right at hand. What a way to run a country. But good news: it's changing, for now, and if we can sustain this change -- which should behave something like a juggernaut -- we can start acting like a sovereign nation again.

A) Roberts committed obstruction of justice in hindering the investigation into the leaking of the Dobbs decision.
B) Roberts is the supervising justice of the FISA court and its misuse for criminal purposes by his friend Boasberg and Democrats means that he himself has violated privacy rights under color of the law protected by US civil rights laws.
C) His wife is a top legal recruiter making millions by directing legal talent to the top law firms on commissions. Those top law firms routinely appear before the court as counsel and thus Roberts has a direct financial interest in pleasing those law firms.
D) The illegal adoption of his children--Ireland does not permit foreigners adopting Irish children (due to widespread problems of abuse). His skirting of those laws by arranging the Irish woman to go to Venezuela for birth and thence adoption of those Irish citizen kids is illegal.

can't repeal an amendment. So any "fix" is ipso facto unconstitutional until the 14th is repealed.
Correct?
==
Depends on the make up of the court. They could call that "dicta" which is not precedent and basically ignore it.
The problem with the Courts is, there are too many rationalizations that have been ginned up over the years to get the end result wanted in a particular case. And these rationalizations once utilized, can be trotted out again as a reason to do whatever is wanted by the majority. Basically, a life time supreme court of 9 can do whatever the fuck they want if they get a majority. Because there is always some way around it. Constitution be damned. It means what we want it to mean.

Besides - and whig can probably enlighten here - doesn't the "ruling" rule out any "fix"? They absurdly claim to believe the 14th answers the question. Legislation can't repeal an amendment. So any "fix" is ipso facto unconstitutional until the 14th is repealed.
Correct?

Nope, technically Roberts and ACB were bloviating about the 14th. See Kavanaugh. It was the classic example of extraneous reasoning not needed to address the issues of the case. In this case, it was whether the President had the authority by executive order solely to reject administratively any claims by children born to foreigners who were not here legally or as tourists were not US citizens. Given previous rulings, that would seem to be so as Congress in previous decisions has been given almost plenary power over naturalization as it is a enumerated power. Contra Afroyim v. Rusk which is another 5-4 legally dubious Warren court relic on dual citizenship.
And Congress has several means to hurt Scotus--e.g. jurisdiction stripping (see Ex Parte McCardle and the Bricker Amendment in the 50's) on immigration, it can also expand the court which the Democrats are likely to do anyway.

But of course, and they did it tout suite, I bet.
Actually, what became the 27th Amendment was originally one of the Amendments proposed for the Bill of Rights. There were 12 proposed back then, but only 10 of them survived ratification. This pay raise one had been lying dormant for 200 years before being ratified.

SCOTUS has a couple of judges who are running scared. Others who are biased. And sadly very few, like Alito and Thomas, who rule on the law and for our country.

I was excited at Barrett’s early discussion, when her nomination was put on hold for her to replace Ginsburg at a later date. In the meantime, I saw a lot of things about how her religious views informed her legal opinions, and she didn’t possess the same sort of legal philosophy that made Alito, Thomas, and Scalia so indispensable.
By the time Barrett’s nomination came around, I was desperately hoping someone else would come up. All the things I read about “the rest of her story” turned out to be true.

They also released a ruling striking down limitations on the amount of money a political party can spend on a candidate's campaign as violation of the First Amendment.
In a time when the RNC has a bazillion dollars and the DNC has negative seventy, this could be significant.

No details but it looks like SCOTUS has ruled in favor of state laws banning trannies in women's sports. I guess one logical implication is that "sex" in Title IX means biological sex. Which, yeah duh, but now it's in writing.
As for Alito, I'm going to hope that he has pre-arranged a nominee with Trump for whatever that's worth.

The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.
The government is so big that this statement is silly.
The federal government is roughly 2.7 million people. No administration is capable of replacing that many people in 4 or 8 years.
Of course, you could terminate 2.7 million people in 4 years.
The top political mangers are already part of a "spoils system". This ruling merely dips a little further into the managerial hierarchy.

It's our country. Don't we have the right to refuse entry to anyone we choose?
Not only do we do that, but we can, and do, prevent anyone from entering on a tourist visa unless they have a return ticket and enough money to cover any obvious pending medical issue.

Venezuelans deported from the U.S. were killed hours later in powerful quakes
146 Venezuelan nationals who landed in Caracas after being deported from the U.S. on Wednesday. Passengers on that plane, which included women and children, were being processed in a guarded hotel in La Guaira when powerful twin earthquakes struck, according to family members. The building they were in pancaked.
... last I checked, the Trump Administration has no control over the Earth's tectonic system.

According to police, Bush aimed a black handgun at the back of the other man’s head and demanded he hand over his belongings. Instead, the victim turned around, grabbed the handgun, and threw it into the front yard.
Both men wrestled Bush to the ground, tied him to the front railing of the property with a nylon strap, and called police.

One of my professional Irish uncles was a priest who left the order after hooking up with a nun (?!). They got married, he became a lawyer, and was one of the guys who helped usher in Colorado as a gay Democrat mecca. And their kids are both atheists.

On June 30, 2026, a ransomware group has reportedly compromised Tata Electronics, Apple's manufacturing partner in India, leaking sensitive data including supplier lists and unreleased iPhone 18 Pro images on the dark web. This incident poses a significant threat to Apple's carefully constructed global supply chain, which relies on numerous suppliers for its components. The leaked information could potentially damage Apple's relationship with Tata and provide competitors and counterfeiters with critical insights into Apple's manufacturing processes...The leaked documents, which include over 200,000 files detailing exclusive suppliers for key components, underscore both the strengths and vulnerabilities of Apple's supply chain.

During his first term, Comptroller Mejia looked into the city's liability payments, particularly for the LAPD. It turns out, annual liability payouts are a $320 million black hole that's more than tripled just since 2022. In a city with a ONE BILLION DOLLAR deficit.
But somebody (or somebodies) in Los Angeles apparently doesn't want Mejia looking into the city's soaring liabilities. According to a City Watch L.A. report, Mayor Bass's budget cuts include "reducing positions tied to accounting, payroll approval, and financial reporting" in Mejia's comptroller office, weakening "the city’s ability to monitor spending in real time, manage long-term fiscal planning, and maintain accountability when every dollar matters."

It is a states right thing if we are to believe in our Republic. But what it does mean is those states who do ban it can’t be forced to accept them. Which is a positive.
It's absolutely a positive. What it isn't is what Trump said. But then no one has ever accused him of being overly nuanced.

The New Republic: Democratic Centrists Need to Stop Saying “Both Sides” Have “Extremes”
Yes, democratic socialists are left of traditional Democrats. But they aren’t remotely as radical—or anywhere near as powerful—as the MAGA right.
If the left were as extreme as the right, people would have stormed the WH by now. Perhaps Trump keeps doing crazy shit to try to provoke people into civil war in order to declare Martial Law.
what is it the extreme left wants? Healthcare for everyone, affordable housing, cheaper groceries, free education...so radical man.
One extreme is mass deportations and concentration camps, the other extreme is universal healthcare. There is no comparison here. One is rooted in compassion, the other is not
Only in America can you be just vaguely left of center and be called a “dangerous radical”. The actual left is SO MUCH FURTHER than the happy, smiling Democratic Socialists and “Nordic Model” SocDems.
Be happy that they aren’t all flag waving Commies like me.

One extreme is mass deportations and concentration camps, the other extreme is universal healthcare. There is no comparison here. One is rooted in compassion, the other is not

I don't know how that's gonna work considering the majority said the guarantee is in the amendment itself. Anyone know what nuance in the Birthright Citizenship Act manages to restrict citizenship without reinterpreting the 14th?

To gain persepctive on the court, we had very few losses this term. The can't fire the Fed decision might be our biggest loss (b/c that does change the rules and the Fed can swing elections easily with their actions), birthright was status quo, and Trump got personally screwed...and I can't think of anything else that made us sad.
68 decisions - 65 for us (or at least not against us), with 67 of those expected (only the Fed wasn't). I'd say we did pretty well.

I'm not a legal scholar, but what I've noticed is that the current SC is decidedly conservative in the way its decisions are based on Article responsibilities as stated in the Constitution. The Court majorities have been averse to making law from the bench and have repeatedly placed remedies for conflicting lower court decisions in the hands of the federal and state legislatures. For example, the recent mail-in ballot decision.

So the Birthright Citizenship is worse case scenario, worse than I had feared. They didn't even toss a bone to the right to say that Congress can change the law if they want.
So, we're back to Constitutional Amendment required to overturn the SCOTUS. Otherwise it's birthright citizenship, all the way.

The birthright citizenship case is a clusterfuck.
The majority went further than it had to. Instead of just saying "this has to be done by Congress, not by EO," they went all the way and held that the 14A guarantees citizenship to the anchor babies of foreign invaders. It's a bad as it could have been.
The dissent is right on the money. Alas, it is a dissent.
The only good news is that this doesn't change anything. Trump took a shot at a long-standing left-wing fetish. He lost. But this only means we are were we have been for at least 50 years.

Because sadly, what you or I "think" about the issue doesn't matter one bit. What matters is what directions will be followed by the courts. If the courts say "you get a license, you get benefits, you can vote" then they get a license, they get benefits, they can vote.

He can write an EO saying, unless you have been legally admitted into country, even though your body is here, technically you are not here. Therefore entitled to no rights whatsoever.
We have laws less logical than that. And we enforce them.

_____
Legislature writing the law: "subject to jurisdiction thereof" means a resident with no loyalties or obligations to foreign nations.
Supreme Court: No, we define what that means, and it is opposite of what the legislature meant.

I believe this is incorrect. Bigfoot and space aliens are also subject to the jurisdiction of the US. Thus, if Bigfoot impregnated a space alien, and the space alien gave birth on US soil, then the resulting offspring would be eventually entitled to vote.
So, we got that going for us!

The Virgin, the Christ Child, and Saint Anne, known as "Saint Anne"
I think the redundancy is that the painting is formally named ‘Virgin, the Christ Child, and Saint Anne’ but it’s commonly just called ‘Saint Anne’

This is an amazing painting. Da Vinci avoids the often wooden facial expressions typical of 15th century art. The expressions here are natural and so expressive. The detail of the surroundings are realistic and the colors throughout are natural. Even the unfinished mountains in the background (crayon? charcoal?) could have come from a photo. The painting is not loaded with religious symbols but shows the holy family in an entirely human moment which, to me, makes it both pleasant and emotional.
An artist could, and should, spend months or more studying how this painting was created. It is more instructive and impressive than the Mona Lisa.
CBD, thanks. This art is a wonderful way to start the day.

Michelangelo didn’t paint the Sistine chapel ceiling on his back. That’s a very enduring myth, but he painted the ceiling standing up on special scaffolding he designed. It was the intense physical strain from leaning back and painting upwards for 4 years that left him physically broken.

Something that makes this painting special is the three generational aspect, unusual when dealing with Mary and Christ. Anne is looking with love and pride at her daughter just as Mary is looking at Christ. That, to my mind, adds a very human element to a religious image. No halo, no heavenly 'glow', just the love of grandmother to daughter to baby.

There was a freeware VR app on the sistine chapel that included a portion of standing on that scaffolding and trying to paint a portion - you really did get an idea of the posture/strain Michelangelo must've gone through, and the app overall did well at getting the perspective and scale across.

That is in some part because now when rightists protest, 'Antifa' fascist street goons show up to crack skulls, while cops stand in alert readiness to protect the thugs from eeeebil Reich-wing self-defense. The Big Media demonization of the Proud Boys was because they were short-circuiting the Assailants' Veto, which TPTB had blessed and maybe even engineered.

The Bundesmarine has just cancelled the F126 frigate programme.
The F126 frigate project was envisioned as a six ship multi-mission class under Ursula van der Leyen's leadership. Total cost was supposed to be ten billion Euros but the programme has been bedeviled with 'little' problems like the software used by the Dutch company to design the frigate was incompatible with the computers in the German shipyards.
Delivery dates slipped until 2027 for the first ship and the costs for the whole class ballooned to an estimated EIGHTEEN billion Euros. After spending three billion Euro the whole programme has been cancelled in favor of a smaller eight ship frigate class that is only supposed to cost TWELVE billion Euro.

PS re Josh Shapiro, he needs to figure out that when the leopards come for his face, the party of "please stay off our faces" is just going to point and laugh. See also Scott Wiener (well, for those guys who haven't seen it already).
There are plenty of Jews whose faces I'd be happy to protect from leopard attacks, including some Democrats, but Shapiro can get fucked. In his face.

The trannys in sports thing is at the end of the day a minor thing. It doesn’t affect most people’s lives. But millions of anchor babies voting affects everyone.

The “Ring” star’s primary cause of death was listed as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), according to a Los Angeles County Medical Examiner report obtained by Page Six Monday.
Also listed was chronic polysubstance use, which is described as the use of more than one drug in a short period of time, per Cleveland Clinic.

The Virgin, the Christ Child, and Saint Anne dated to c. 1501–1519.
Leonardo da Vinci
The Virgin, the Christ Child, and Saint Anne is a prominent subject in Christian art. It portrays the generational lineage of Jesus: Saint Anne (the mother of Mary), the Virgin Mary, and the infant Jesus. This motif has inspired some of history's most celebrated masterpieces.
The most famous depiction is Leonardo da Vinci's unfinished oil painting, The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, created around 1501–1519. In this High Renaissance work, Mary is seated on her mother's lap while she tries to restrain the Christ child, who is grasping a sacrificial lamb that symbolizes his future Passion.
Wikipedia, in part, "It is likely that the painting was commissioned by King Louis XII of France following the birth of his daughter in 1499, but never delivered to him.[1] Leonardo probed into incorporating these figures together by drawing the Burlington House Cartoon (National Gallery)."

Leonardo da Vinci
The Virgin, the Christ Child, and Saint Anne is a prominent subject in Christian art. It portrays the generational lineage of Jesus: Saint Anne (the mother of Mary), the Virgin Mary, and the infant Jesus. This motif has inspired some of history's most celebrated masterpieces.
The most famous depiction is Leonardo da Vinci's unfinished oil painting, The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne, created around 1501–1519. In this High Renaissance work, Mary is seated on her mother's lap while she tries to restrain the Christ child, who is grasping a sacrificial lamb that symbolizes his future Passion.
Wikipedia, in part, "It is likely that the painting was commissioned by King Louis XII of France following the birth of his daughter in 1499, but never delivered to him.[1] Leonardo probed into incorporating these figures together by drawing the Burlington House Cartoon (National Gallery)."
It's lovely. Thanks.

"Citizenship, then and now," Roberts concludes, "was the right to have rights--to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land.' We keep that promise today."

Congress can (but won't) pass a law called "Restore the 14th Amendment" that says their co-equal branch of government wrote birthright citizenship into the amendment illegally, legislation is reserved for the legislature, and that "subject to the jurisdiction" means what it says.

tbh I feel like American women are happy with just adopting foreign kids rather than carrying their own kids. plus the gay guys! so they're just peachy with this idiocy.
eventually no one will carry kids, it will be external wombs or some such. I mean, unless civilization collapses of course.

In some ways nothing has changed. We were already handing out citizenship like candy to anyone who had a baby here.
Now the issue will start to get the attention it deserves and we can fight back. This was always a long shot but the battle lines are now clear.

I've seen (reproduced in books) da Vinci's preliminary studies for this painting. Based on what I've seen and read, he struggled with its composition. While this is speculation on my part, those preliminary sketches show a certain frustration, particularly with the Saint Anne figure. But then, da Vinci was a perfectionist. I imagine he was frustrated a lot. Geniuses often are.

The Morning Report — 6/ 30 /26
It is fascinating but ultimately depressing to watch old-style Democrats say or do anything to avoid the new mob of Robespierres. Democrat candidates who recently begged for a Schumer/Pelosi/Jeffries endorsement now are telling them to get in line at the guillotine. Jewish American Democrats are terrified that what happened to the primaried and defeated Rep. Dan Goldman of New York, an arch-Trump hater, could befall them. Goldman’s obnoxious showboating hatred of Trump and championing of neo-socialist agendas offered no defense against the Jacobins’ antisemitism and hatred of Israel.And his noting of the guillotine is not merely a rhetorical flourish but given who and what we're dealing with perhaps prescient:
Andy O’Brien, the communications director for the Maine AFL-CIO, a statewide federation of 160 local unions, posted on social media, suggesting Democrats who refuse to support Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner should face execution after a “revolution.”And given the track record of Antifa, BLM and the Soros District Attorneys and thoroughly corrupt judges, you can bet your bottom dollar that is not mere hyperbole. Well, there are the Democratic Socialists, and then of course there are the Democrat Socialites
Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democrat presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns.Oh, a slimy scumbag chutzpocritical hypocrite. I'm shocked, et tu Comrade Colonel Sanders, of the multiple multi-million dollar Vermont ski chalets?! No flame throwers aimed at them, eh Antifa?! On that note, I give you this little item.
Cops arrested a man outside a church in High Point, North Carolina, who allegedly had two flamethrowers, over 500 rounds of ammunition and other weapons. High Point Police Department (HPPD) officers responded at approximately 10:15 a.m. June 28 to a report of an armed man in his vehicle outside Wesley Memorial Church, according to a police statement. The caller alleged that the man was dressed in camoflage garb. An off-duty officer in the church responded and was soon joined by additional officers. The man was arrested “without incident” and no injuries were reported, police said. . . Police identified the suspect as 44-year-old William S. Milliken III of Thomasville. Prosecutors charged him in part with “possession of weapon of mass destruction, impersonation of law enforcement officer, and possession of control substance schedule II.” Milliken’s truck was searched after he was taken into custody, police said. Officers found a CO2-powered launcher crafted to look like a handgun, a pair of flamethrowers, a pair of crossbows, over 500 rounds of ammunition, three knives, and oxycodone pills, according to the HPPD. (RELATED: ‘Teen Takeover’ Chaos Spreads After Masked Individual Pulls Out Apparent Flamethrower)I'm sure he was just setting up for the church's July 4th festivities, nein?! Aside from this, there is one story that is disturbing in the extreme.
Officials charged a 10-year-old Missouri boy with murder after he allegedly shot a 7-month-old baby in the head execution-style June 26, according to a report.Well chalk up another one for LBJ's Great Society — or if Barack Obama had a son, he'd be Ca’Marion. I think this story should be emblazoned on the side of his Godzilla urinal-looking Presidential Library in (Jekyll'n) Hyde Park. Have a good day,
St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) officers responded to the incident just after 4:00 p.m. and found the baby, identified as 7-month-old Kiyomi Parker, within the residence, according to an SLMPD press release. The baby died from her wounds. Homicide Detectives and Child Abuse Detectives later opened an investigation into the incident and learned that an unidentified 10-year-old boy shot the child, the SLMPD alleged. Witnesses said the 10-year-old retrieved a gun and shot the infant, according to court documents cited by First Alert 4. The boy confessed that he shot baby in the head, WTHR13 reported, citing a probable cause statement. . . Officers allegedly learned that Ca’Marion Pawnell, the baby’s father, stored a gun beneath a mattress in one of the residence’s bedroooms by interviewing witnesses, including the 10-year-old. The minor confessed that he was aware of where the firearm was and had retrieved it before, according to the court documents.

A more accurate name would be: The Pelosi Institute for Partisanship in the Pursuit of Power. Because that is a more accurate description of her career.

Thank you JJ. Morning all
It is surreal to me that I remember the bicentennial in 76… 50 years ago! Is the possible??
In my head anyway it was a much bigger deal in 76 than this milestone is this year. Much less hoopla
50 years long time. Reminds me of how Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died 50 years to the day after the Declaration. I always that was a remarkable “coincidence”… and by coincidence I mean ordained by God…

Something I've been paying attention to for quite a while now: I'll be in a fast food place, a grocery store, or a big box store, or even at a gas pump and I'll make note of the background music playing. Frequently it's a song I remember from high school, which was 50 years ago. And it's not a remake. It's the exact SAME recording from 50 years ago.
So, in 1975 was the background music recordings from 1925?
No, it wasn't.
I don't know what any of this means, but once you start listening for it, it's pervasive.

The ongoing scandal deepened last month after the Free Beacon reported that the CPJ had been quietly removing some militants’ names from its list of deceased "journalists" without publicly acknowledging the changes, and that the CPJ’s board of directors is brimming with anti-Israel sentiment with virtually no dissenting voices.

Inherited great wealth is evil, I have come to believe. If the Committee To Protect Journalists did not have this billionaire heiress on it, they might be more credible, and less inclined to claim Israel is the bad guy in the Hamas fight.

"the very thing that drives voters away."
Voters? F*ck voters. That's the point or goal -- to reach a post-voter or post-electoral socialist empire, to nullify the whole premise of voters and voting and accountability. It's so regressive and humiliating for a good socialist to have his credentials and performance, or his ideology's moral supremacy and right to rule, judged.

“The conflicting narratives from the U.S. and Iran cast doubt on the potential for meaningful progress in resolving tensions.
Trump Announces Iran Talks, Iranian Official Denies They Are Scheduled After Weekend Strikes.“
This is something where I honestly don’t understand Trumps motivations; I try to make sense of them and can’t. Over the last two days, he posted on Truth Social multiple assurances that Iran was coming back for more negotiations today, in Doha. The Iranian Foreign Ministry openly laughed at these claims and poured scorn on them, saying that they weren’t gonna negotiate shit anymore. Both accused the other side of lying.
So what happened? Today, Jared Kushner went to talk to some Qatari officials. Nobody from Iran showed up, obviously the “negotiations” are dead. Why pretend they’re not?

This suit focuses on the narrow case of so-called “zombie” apartments — units that stand empty and unrented due to a 2019 state law that tightly restricts how much owners can pass along to tenants when they spend what’s needed to get apartments up to code.
That leaves an estimated 57,000 zombie units sitting vacant, exacerbating the housing crunch and impoverishing building owners.
57000/2300000=2.4%
Socialist rules always always distort markets.

There could be some small measure of petty dickishness involved.... "Look! Look! I'm negotiating! See! Wow, look at all the negotiating!"
Militarily, there's not much left to do but wait until the next phase of beating their asses begins anew. Let them scuttle around and generate intelligence for us while we bide our time. Might as well stand on the ropes and work the crowds, meanwhile.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation."
Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters.
===========================
Ro Khanna may not be the worst Democrat, since he hasn't publicly called for executions yet, but he certainly is right up there on the Hypocritical List. Vast wealth, all gifted to his wife and their children from her entrepreneurial father, make his material life possible. If he truly believes what he claims, he and she would renounce every penny, give it to the Treasury, and move into a Soviet style apartment. What a POS.

Every single sentient person knows and sees what's happening to Western Europe. There is only one solution left and that is (violent) revolution to take these countries back, hang the traitors that allowed it to happen, and kick out every usurper muslim that was thrown the welcome mat.
If these things don't happen, Western Europe is done. I don't think enough people have any understanding just what is happening or how bad it is...or how utterly traitorous those in authority that have cultivated the demise of these countries are. I'm sorry to say that violent revolution is the only thing they have left. IMO...

Andy O’Brien, the communications director for the Maine AFL-CIO, a statewide federation of 160 local unions, posted on social media, suggesting Democrats who refuse to support Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner should face execution after a “revolution.”
Labor Union Leader: Execute Democrats Who Break with Graham Platner via Firing Squad
As I noted in the Tech Thread, Graham "Maine Fuhrer" Platner just *looks* like he affects a cringe-inducing, poorly done, faux Irish accent when he's drunk. Now I'm not saying that anyone should be executed for that, but it would certainly be disqualifying for public office.

I honestly think that gives the DNC way too much credit. I've seen nothing resembling a cohesive plan out of them.
Used to be - you'd see a general coordination around election cycles. Two year kinda' plans. You could definitely see it out of the GOP after the Tea Party Wave. A coordinated effort to coopt what new members they could, and expel the rest, even if it cost them a couple cycles. It worked. They'd like to do it again regarding Trump - but they just can't pull it off now. Too many moles to whack. Just too much effort.
You definitely saw a DNC plan during Covid. But now ? They can't "plan" more than over a weekend until the next new cycle. I don't think they'll be much of a party in twenty years or so. Don't know if the GOP will be either. I'll put all my chips in on fractures in both parties. I think we get at least three before its over. Maybe four.

Don't know if the GOP will be either. I'll put all my chips in on fractures in both parties. I think we get at least three before its over. Maybe four.

So, in 1975 was the background music recordings from 1925?
No, it wasn't.

In my head anyway it was a much bigger deal in 76 than this milestone is this year.
In 1976, Democrats were still in the "pretending to be Americans" phase.

Time winnows popular music to only a few hits representative of an era. This is easily seen in classical music, and what gets played of music from 200 years ago. Only a few of those musicians are heard today.

box office analysts on Sunday noted an uncomfortable truth: Female-led superhero movies have been rejected almost uniformly over the past five years or so, perhaps reflecting a resurgent misogyny among the core fan base, which is largely male.

The boy confessed that he shot baby in the head, WTHR13 reported, citing a probable cause statement. . . Officers allegedly learned that Ca’Marion Pawnell, the baby’s father, stored a gun beneath a mattress in one of the residence’s bedroooms by interviewing witnesses, including the 10-year-old. The minor confessed that he was aware of where the firearm was and had retrieved it before, according to the court documents

The DAR article hits home. Mrs VIA is currently working on her eligibility to join, and is facing the moral dilemma of should she join the organization or not. Apparently there were more shenanigans taking place with the vote that took place. Including locking folks inside the room for hours with no breaks for the bathroom to wear down the older more conservative members who were voting.
--
It really sickens me. I'm not, to my knowledge, eligible to be part of the DAR. Mr. Black's deceased grandmother was, however. Speaking for myself, I would simply have no desire to be part of organization, however revered they may be, if they don't even have the will to say that a dude with a penis can't pretend to be a woman and therefore, a member.

Music from 1970-2000, you could even toss in up to 2010, spawned a ridiculous number of genres and subgenres. The music industry was all over the place.
After, you get homogenized Unigenre post-disco sludge-hop where the only thing that changes between acts are the face tattoos and the clothing.
People go to those decades now because that's where all the options are.

It's also amusing when they find out that the Righteous Brothers, Bobby Caldwell, and the singer from Wild Cherry are all white even though the last should come as no surprise to anyone given the name of the song they react to.

Technically, the movie does have a higher percentage of women than any DC recent release (normally, DC is high 60s%-low 70s% men for viewship...this one was 59% OW and going down)...so more men did fail to show than women, but at those numbers, some normal women viewers also stayed home...

The only stipulation is that you sign away your right to ever claim American citizenship again when you realize your gross mistake and are living in some hellscape with no air conditioning, 1 year waiting periods for your cancer surgeries, jail time for tweets, and the raping of you or your female family members at the hands of Mohammad's filthy madmen.

Spotify sales and other current indicators of taste, people under 30 much prefer music from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s to anything that’s been mainstream over the last 20 years, with only a couple of exceptions.

Music from that era had melodies, harmonies, key changes, and was written by musicians. Music today is written by machine, and both the voices and the instruments are autotuned to death. Music peaked in the late 1970s.

Samsung is off the market here. If you want to buy it's on the Korean market at ~240. SK Hnix is privately owned. The only other company that makes DRAM is MU, an American company going for 1300. It was 20 last year.

Yeah I’m not even following all that closely what’s going on with Iran and the faux negotiations anymore. It’s all a farce and kabuki theater. I’d like to think Trump is playing 4D chess but he’s not; I can’t understand his approach. My best guess is he’s kicking the can down the road continually because he wants to win the midterms… the whole thing is discouraging to me. I had such high hopes after we took out a few layers of their leadership and thought imposing the blockade was brilliant…. Somehow we lost our way when everything turned to “negotiations” sigh… I’m gonna try to ignore and hope we get off any fantasy of a deal

Anyway. . .
I missed Ace's thread yesterday about the Dems' trashing of the 250th. There are a few flags and bunting around my little neighborhood, but while I have always celebrated the Glorious Fourth, this year holds no real joy for me.
I should never have joined Facebook (I only did for the Theda Bara club there) and I really should never have got into the habit of reading comments connected to anything Trump. It both pisses me off and depresses me immensely to see how many Dems are cheering the states refusing to join in the State Fair and how eager they are to share pictures and stories about how poorly-attended the event is. The overwhelming sentiment now is that it should all be put on hold until the next Dem president, and then celebrate. And the kicker to that is that these assholes know the right is too damned polite to boycott a Dem-led celebration of America.

One example of modern music: Taylor Swift concerts are entirely recorded.
Here's my theory - like a lot of stuff now, for many attending a concert or movie or sporting event is a virtue signal. Same for many ever with their home viewing choices. Same goes for shopping choices. This crosses across all demographic lines.
There was a time when people put down their money and expected to be entertained. See STYX getting booed off stage in Texas for picking there, off all places, to debut Dennis De Young's idea of Rock Opera.
Bad idea, Dennis. Wrong place, wrong time.
But now ? Sure, you can't argue taste. You always won't convince me that everybody in that area paid because they just love to watch Angel Reese brick every damn shot she threw up.

When you are putting your groceries away they ask you for a ride to McDonald's.
They are very convincing and very hot!
Once in your car... this one takes her clothes off and starts climbing all over you, while she keeps you busy, the other one takes your wallet.

Andy O’Brien, the communications director for the Maine AFL-CIO, a statewide federation of 160 local unions, posted on social media, suggesting Democrats who refuse to support Democrat U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner should face execution after a “revolution.”
The left tells me everyone at the J6 protests was a traitor and insurrectionist because someone showed up with a toy gallows. But let me guess calling for murdering masses of citizens is (D)ifferent.
Also, someone should ask this guy what he thinks of The Night of Longknives since he wants to replace it for his personal fuhrer.

And then Congress won’t. Because do they ever do anything? Honestly, y’all. Saving our country is not going to happen by relying on the schmucks in DC. It’s changing the dynamics where semi normal people can run without 1. Needing 18 gazillion dollars and 2. Unreachable purity tests 3. Being torn apart for anything and everything, unless of course you are a nazi running as a democrat.
I would go to Congress, but I am nobody with nothing to my name except a little bit of common sense. I am no Ted Cruz intellectually, but I think I am a probably brighter than AOC. And I never have married my brother.

Only hope is Roberts wrote both decisions yesterday, right, on the firing fed decisions, so he's not the author. So, either a wacko liberal or a hardcore conservative has this one (Thomas hasn't written one of the last 10)...or Gorsuch does (b/c he also hasn't)...if it's Gorsuch, he probably went with the 4 and it's a Trump loss...

So, either a wacko liberal or a hardcore conservative has this one (Thomas hasn't written one of the last 10)...or Gorsuch does (b/c he also hasn't)...if it's Gorsuch, he probably went with the 4 and it's a Trump loss...

There’s a hilarious scene in Two and a Half men where Jake has this song as his ring tone. Jake is off to parts unknown with the daughter of the hugely muscled next door neighbor who shows up at the door angry his daughter is not to be found. Charlie nervously says let’s call Jake to settle this… whereupon Jake’s cellphone sitting nearby starts to ring with this song… making huge and menacing dad even more agitated. Charlie nervously fidgets as the ring tone goes on and on. Hilarious

NY judge just gave the Chinese anti commie billionaire 30 years in prison for fraud. He was arrested in 2023 and held with no bond.
The Lefty judicial system in NY is so crooked you can't just assume the guy is guilty of the charges. How much did the CCP influence his damaged investors to testify against him. How did his relationship with the Right influence the jury and judge? The Left is directly responsible for my doubt. I really despise them.

As noted by those above, the Birthright case is framed as whether Trump can act alone by executive order and we can expect the answer to be No.
But I expect the ruling to be clear that Congress has the authority.
Trump is about to campaign as if he's on the ticket, and in a very real sense he is. A central theme will be the call for a Republican House and Senate to give the people what they want.

Of course, you had Conway - who wasn't sneaking a damn thing. That man was just a straight up creeper.
But then you had stuff like Buck Owens and the Buckaroos singing "Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'am". And no, no the Dean Martin tune. COMPLETELY different lyrics.
That little number got cut in '64. Played on National TV not long after on the Buck Owens show. Catchy tune. Listen real good to the lyrics.

Of all possible outcomes to the war in Iran, the fixation some had on """liberating"""" the Iranian people was always the silliest thing to wish for.
How? Why? To what end?
Even if the Islamic theocracy goes down the tubes, Iran would necessarily have another form of ruthless autocracy, or Islamism would immediately return - no democratic system can withstand that many Muslims.
The only way those people were getting """liberated""" was with a PERMANENT American presence to keep them """liberated""" until the very instant some far-flung future government decided to withdraw, at which point - Islamism immediately returns.
Our options with regard to regime change boiled down to "US backed puppet warlord" or "very direct, physically present US administration of a fake democracy." Liberation was always out of the question.
But for some, the fantasy of dragging Muslims into modernity will simply never die. It's their white whale.

What we have now, and have had for decades, is already untenable nonsense. There's nothing the SCOTUS is going to do to make it worse.
"Enshrined"? It's already enshrined without their help. You want it unshrined, some hacks in robes won't help you get there.
The Supreme Arbiters of Law in a land that ignores Law entirely anyway doesn't really make much of a difference whatever they happen to say.

There are rap songs I like, and you cannot discount the creativity involved in many (not all) of the work.
Sure I can. Just like this. Observe ...
... all rap sucks. Sucks when somebody straight from the hood does it. Sucks when a white guy in a cowboy hat does it. The End.

The fact that 55% of 30% of the population wants to leave the US is, in a way, proof that American values are winning. That is around 6 million people that want to leave. I like the trend line.
Note, this is out of sight of the loathsome Media.

And once they're overseas, they long to come back. They know this is the greatest country in the world, and it kills them.
The issue is they want free shit.
Since America is the richest large country in the world it has the most wealth to loot.
So asking why leftists want to live in America while claiming America sucks is like asking a Swede in 900 AD why he keeps going back to France/England even if he thinks they are worthless Christian pansies.

No really, even with headphones, it isn't appropriate for anywhere in public. But it's funny! I have put it on a dive bar's jukebox through TouchTunes before (wildly inappropriate, but... dive).

Mike Benz explained that one of the tools the CIA/State/USAID used over the years to help shape narratives in countries they were looking to do regime change was influence in the music industry. He claims that this was a very real took they used to help mold societies to their purposes.
USAID has been kneecapped and now for the first time in decades there is no rap song in the Top 40.

Rap is a significantly easier music style then traditional modes of singing.
So there can be creativity in it, sure, but its a much easier medium and requires both less singing and song writing talent.

I’ve seen many note that the difference between functional countries and the 3rd World countries is how they respond to disasters. If something like that happened in the US, for example, we would put a huge emphasis on building codes and inspections to see that it doesn’t happen again.
But take a situation like Ferry disasters in the Philippines. Every 3 or 4 years, there will be sad news of some overloaded island ferry that suddenly sank, taking 8,000 people to the bottom with it. Everyone laments the loss for a day or two - then goes right back to doing the same thing with the same worn out overloaded ferry’s, so that the same disaster happens over and over and over again.
They just don’t care. Not enough to do anything about it.

Yeah, Iran has its own old civilization, the one Islam tried to snuff out. That civilization has much in common with our values, not sure we can teach them much more.

Gangsta rap became irrelevant once Easy-E died. His solo stuff was scary as shit, like a barely literate shrimp serial killer confessing his crimes on tape.

BLM is part of that network. I don't think it was a coincidence that Governor Jazz Hands' Minnesota was ground zero for BLM rioting after Floyd. Hopefully, some of these networks will be exposed.

Sprechgesang (German for "spoken singing") is a vocal technique midway between speech and song. Performers use specific rhythms and loose, approximate pitches, hitting a note only to let the voice rapidly fall away. It conveys dramatic intensity without traditional melodic singing. Probably popularized by Kraftwerk in the 1980s. This is her "modern" take on it.

>>Sprechgesang (German for "spoken singing") is a vocal technique midway between speech and song. Performers use specific rhythms and loose, approximate pitches, hitting a note only to let the voice rapidly fall away. It conveys dramatic intensity without traditional melodic singing. Probably popularized by Kraftwerk in the 1980s. This is her "modern" take on it.
Thanks - not a fan of this, either!!

Dangerous question. The answer might lead to the conclusion that the threat to shut it off was just a huge bluff that got called.

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at June 30, 2026 08:42 AM (BI5O2)
I think Americans have hope because the majority of Iranians aren't Muslim. A survey from either last year or the year before had a third of Iranians self-identifying as Muslim. This is despite it being the state religion, the IRGC probably at their most paranoid, and locked-down media.
I'm not on the Make Zorastrianism Great Again train. But I *am* intrigued by reports of Jesus Christ Himself appearing in Iranian dreams.

It’s likely that Goldman’s loss isn’t because he isn’t antisemitic enough. It’s more likely that he isn’t left enough. What is wearing the skin suit of the formerly Democratic Party has always rigorously enforced purity standards, but those standards are now well left of just socialist values.
Clinton and Obama left a massive vacuum in party leadership, a void that Pelosi and Schumer didn’t have enough influence on a national scale to fill. The emerging democratic leadership is both hard core communist and largely Muslim. I think there is significant conflict coming, whether between free and totalitarian America or within the Democratic Party I don’t know.

Pawnell, 19, allegedly confirmed the gun belonged to him and he had placed it beneath the mattress. Pawnell has been charged with one count of second-degree felony murder, one count of endangering the welfare of a child resulting in death, and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child creating substantial risk, according to court documents. He remains held without bond, First Alert 4 reported. (RELATED: Inmates Seize Control Of Jail, Take Officers Hostage)
Pawnell is the father of the baby but who is the father of the 10 year old and 7 year old and who is/are the mothers (s)?
---------------------------------------
Prosecutors charged the 10-year-old with first-degree murder in juvenile court. He’s seemingly the youngest person in the history of Missouri to face a murder charge, the outlet reported.
Pawnell and the 10-year-old’s relationship is unclear, according to the New York Post. A 7-year-old child was inside the residence when the alleged shooting took place, First Alert 4 reported.

Daily Tech News 30 June 2026
Top Story
- South Korea is planning to invest $520 billion to expand chip production at Samsung and SK Hynix. (Tom's Hardware)
Well, sort of. Only about $20 billion of that is direct South Korean public spending, with the remainder coming from regional governments and private investment.
The government will also help fast-track approvals to bring construction plans forward by as much as twelve years.
- Meanwhile the Big Three - Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix - have been hit with a private antitrust lawsuit by litigants in California. (Tom's Hardware)
The suit seems to be focused on decreased production of DDR4 and DDR3, which is legal, but alleges they colluded to do so, which may not be.
Tech News
- IMEC has laid out its roadmap towards a 0.3nm process in 2038. (Tom's Hardware)
The article notes that this is marketing nonsense - well, the part you can read doesn't, but it's there in the details that you can't read - with actual feature sizes in the 10-20nm range. Since a single silicon atom has a diameter of 0.2nm, you can rest assured they're not building circuits that size.
The 0.3nm instead refers to the effective density thanks to increased use of 3D production to stack transistors vertically.
- The Steam Cube hasn't even started shipping and the first clones are here. (Tom's Hardware)
Meta PC's Steamroller is a micro ATX system with a Ryzen 9600X and a Radeon 7600 - both a little faster than the components in the Steam Machine - 16GB of DDR5 RAM, 8GB of VRAM, and a 1TB SSD, for $1299.
It ships with SteamOS, so no Windows tax.
- Everything new is old again: Nvidia's RTX 3060 has returned from the dead. (Tom's Hardware)
It was a pretty decent card, and its 12GB of VRAM gives it a boost over current 8GB models like the 5060 and the base model 5060 Ti
- It can also run PhysX games, which Nvidia half-killed on the 5000 series. But now so can AMD graphics cards. (WCCFTech)
Thanks to open-source library ZLUDA.

Evening, late toilers. Morning, early risers. Whass happenin'?
83 F. at 4:20 am. Horrifying, esp. since I was planning to work out in it. Long ago, Dr. Cooper in Aerobics advised that if temps were over 90 F., to reduce exercise or change to the early morning or evening. Excuse me, Doctor Sir, but what do ya do when the early morning and evening heat-index temps are *also* over 90?
Though he lived in South Texas for much of his life, and was an active runner himself, so he knew about that.

I looked over the ONT and its black-and-white photography. I love that stuff. Somewhere I have an Ansel Adams print or two of the Southwest, and will put them up when I have room, aka, when I have my house.
Maybe it's because I grew up with B & W TV and watching even color movies on it. The crispness and starkness of B & W images make them seem more real, somehow, more immediate, than does the color palette of the actual world.

Well I guess we won't be able to count on the South Korean government in any antitrust investigation of SK Hynix or Samsung this time round, not with how much money is being shoveled at them to address the memory scarcity problems.
And we all know what happens when government throws a lot of money at a problem: The solution usually takes longer, costs 10 times more than it should, and arrives broken, if it arrives at all. Yay.

I prefer this over Rage Against The Machine's cover:
Cypress Hill - How I Could Just Kill a Man (Official HD Video)

I'm conflicted about this performance, but at least it made me feel something?
Nirvana - Rape Me (Live At The Paramount, Seattle / 1991)

***South Korea is planning to invest $520 billion to expand chip production at Samsung and SK Hynix.

Samsung is off the market here. If you want to buy it's on the Korean market at ~240. SK Hnix is privately owned. The only other company that makes those do hickeys is MU an American company going for 1300. It was 20 last year.

Good morning! The neighbor next door sold his house to some outfit that's renovating it before selling it and they've come to the stage where they're going to paint the exterior. I saw that they'd caulked the eaves in prep for paint and masked the windows, then I realized they'd painted the brick. White. Very, very bright white.

TechCrunch: "Ford rehires 'gray beard' engineers after AI falls short"
https://tinyurl.com/ma6vz6ru
Snippet: { To be clear, this doesn't mean Ford is abandoning its AI plans entirely. Instead, it's using the rehired employees - referred to as "gray beard" engineers - to train younger staff and reprogram AI tools. }
So reality is re-asserting itself (as it always does), but some executives are still huffing the AI copium as hard as they can. Got it.

Funny - well, for certain values of funny - story on that is that they hired a dialect coach for him, but the dialect coach could do a Cockney dialect, either. TBF, it's one of the more difficult dialects for a non-native speaker to get a handle on.

You could make a case that Sutherland's Devlin, though a proud Irishman -- hating the English so much he was aiding the Germans, like a lot of Irish then -- nevertheless had lived in England so long he had picked up some of their speech patterns.
Jack Higgins wrote a later novel with Devlin as the lead; I'll have to look it up to see which book it was.

Touch the Devil was the Higgins novel in which Devlin is the lead. Apparently, too, there was a sequel to Eagle Has Landed, in which Kurt Steiner (Michael Caine's character in the film) has survived the earlier mission, and is imprisoned in Britain. Devlin is persuaded by the German High Command to rescue Steiner from the Tower of London! I need to find this one!

CA is so dang expensive because (in order of importance as I see it):
1. Scarce resource of land near beautiful ocean and beaches — Govt has no influence; it is what it is
2. Minimal supply of housing — Govt big influence with lots of insane regulations
3. State income tax near 10% — By definition bad govt
4. High gas prices — By definition bad govt with high gas taxes and punishing refineries
5. High sales taxes — Govt the culprit
6. High electric bills — See #4 govt punishes energy production
7. High cost of eating out (fast food or sit down restaurant) — Govt problem with insane minimum wage
So CA’s govt has a huge hand in 6 of the 7… I’m sure other items could be added to this list.
Summary: CA would probably be more expensive even with good state government because it’s a beautiful place… but it wouldn’t be anywhere near as bad as it is…

If NATO were anything more significant than a passel of pimps and layabouts, its member nations would have banded together and beat the everloving shit out of Moscow on day 1 when they invaded. Ukraine not being in NATO wasn't relevant. The point of the organization is to check Russian aggression, and they demonstrated they have no interest in checking Russian aggression. They dithered and shilly shallied and demanded Uncle Sam do the entire lift alone. Uncle Sam, being King Pimp of Slut Mountain, figured it was too much work and there was far more money to be made in letting the meat grinder grind unhindered.
Worrying today about anything NATO is or isn't, or does or doesn't do, is for entertainment purposes only.

We wish we could have 1970s meat and other prices back. Doritos, .69 for a full bag, nearly $4 now. Decent if not high-end whiskey, $5-7 a fifth, $4 for vodka and gin. .55 for a gallon of regular, .50 for a quart of name-brand oil. . . .
(Yeah, I know, they had depressed wages and high home interest rates, okay, okay. . . .)

Monday Overnight Open Thread - June 29, 2026 [scampydog]
Your Monday dose of CBD has been temporarily interrupted. Please accept this budget-friendly ONT instead. Less refined, with a side of excessive content.
The theme tonight is black and white. Before we dive into the monochrome, let’s go with some whimsical content. Hell yeah! It is Combine Demolition Derby Time!
The combines have entered the arena (link goes to wikipedia)
Competitors typically remove heavy or unneeded parts of the combines before competitions and reinforce the front, or header, of the vehicle.[3] A vehicle is deemed eliminated once its header section is destroyed or the combine is immobilized. Competitors attempt to use the header to pop other vehicle's tires, rupture their drive belts, or tear off their header.[4] The competitions can end in ties if the only remaining machines become inextricably tangled together.[5] The competition in Lind, Washington often includes multiple heats, including rounds for event veterans, rookies, and consolation rounds for losers.[6] In Michigan, there is a derby circuit with competitions in several towns.
Before the Scots arrived for their World Cup adventure - with cones, drank everything in sight, and somehow won over America, Boston had a different kind of overflow problem. The Great Molasses Flood of 1919
The tank, 50 feet high and 90 feet in diameter, contained 2.3 million gallons of molasses originally destined for use in a munitions plant. The tank, though only a few years old, seemed shaky. People who lived and worked in the North End said the tank shuddered and groaned when the company filled it. Shortly after noon, the tank collapsed with a thunderous roar. The ground shook, and witnesses said the rivets popping out of the tank sounded like machine gun fire.
Things nobody really wants to know. The ONT is here for you Why wombat poop is cube shaped
Humans may be fascinated by cubes, but only one animal poops them: the bare-nosed wombat. This furry Australian marsupial squeezes out nearly 100 six-sided turds every day—an ability that has long mystified scientists. Now, researchers say they have uncovered how the wombat intestine creates this exceptional excrement.
Things We All Knew Before the Internet Arrived. The lost art of the handwritten note and stationery sets. Who remembers the Onion Skin and Bristol Board paper? There really is something meaningful about a hand written note on stationary. Who still takes the time to send hand written notes?
Another household name that pops up every holiday season is Current. The brand was launched by Bill and Mary Gick in their Colorado Springs basement in 1950. Their idea was simple but clever: create high quality, personalized greeting cards and sell them directly to customers through mail order catalogs. Current was one of the first companies to really master the catalog approach, and their colorful, customizable products quickly found a dedicated fan base.
Hello 80's Ladies. The rise and fall of shoulder pads.
A brief history of shoulder pads Using padding to alter the shape of our clothing isn’t a new concept — it dates back to the 1870s and 1880s, when padding was used for the bustles of women’s dresses to extend the fullness at the back. However, the origins of the fashion shoulder pads we know and love today go back to Princeton University football players in the late 19th century, who developed the pads for protection — but the trend didn’t begin to enter women’s fashion until the 1930s.

Burning Monday Questions If you buy a bigger bed, do you have more bedroom? At what point does a pile become a heap? Why do noses run and feet smell? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Alarm goes off? Or does it go on?
On theme musical interlude. Chris Isaak. Bonus for the 'Rons - Helena Christensen.
Spin up a milshake or malt.
I have nothing against the stainless steel finish, but I still have memories of the green fridge and dishwasher from my parents' own home. Today, my mother's kitchen has all white appliances, including the microwave.
Hey, I hear there’s this little 250th thing happening. We might as well talk about it. All the Smarty Readers here know, but those that don't.... Since a big part of any celebration of THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD involves the stars and stripes, here’s a refresher on the proper care, display, and respect for the American flag. Clothing and Old Glory
One of the most common points of confusion: the Flag Code’s restrictions apply to actual United States flags, not to clothing or products that happen to feature a stars-and-stripes pattern. A T-shirt printed with red, white, and blue stripes isn’t a flag. A bandana with a flag motif isn’t a flag. Wearing these items doesn’t violate the code. The prohibition on using the flag as a costume means you shouldn’t cut up or drape an actual flag over yourself — it doesn’t extend to patriotic-themed apparel.
This ONT was brought to you by: Put A Pickle In Your Shitty Beer.
South Dakota, Mallory told me, is famous for its "pioneer preservation sensibility" and penchant for pickling everything from green beans to watermelon rinds. She says the addition of the pickle works best when it's "paired with a light domestic lager-style beer, like Bud Light or PBR. The base beer has to have a pretty clean, mild flavor for it to work."
This ONT was brought to you by the mistaken belief that one can outrun a tornado. Was thinking a different kind of tornado, but this will do.
Disclaimer: This ONT was not involved with the Great Giraffe Getaway. If you encounter another Wandering Giraffe - they are not funded by, affiliated, endorsed, or even aware of the AoSHQ Limited Liability Empire (LLE). This ONT may contain trace amounts of facts, rumors, and speculation.

I get a lot of YouTube vids in my feed of stories of German POWs during WWII that arrive in Texas or Wisconsin or anywhere really. The propaganda was strong with them but became to soften immediately following their first meal. Real meat, real coffee, real milk, weird foods they'd never seen (like biscuits and gravy) but devoured, portions they couldn't believe. They began to realize they'd been lied to.

"Hi. I'm sorry for the mess, but it blew up and I tried to clean but I cannot deal with it. Going back to bed."
The pod was old and puffed up. There are no warnings about this that I recall. It went everywhere into the machine and I could not cope.
I have switched to black teabags since then.

Black and white photography can be pretty cool looking. One time when we went to sturgis, which was before digital cameras became popular, Mrs B shot a few roles of black and white film. It made a lot of things feel more historic. Rushmore, devils tower, buildings in Deadwood, various scenery, etc, looked really cool in black and white.

The U.S. followed the Geneva Convention scrupulously. Most of the POWs had more personal space in the camps than they did back home as free men.
Those who wanted to work picked apples, etm.
On VE Day, the U.S. govt was surprised to discover that many of the Germans didn't want to go home! They had hooked up with local girls... while picking apples, etm.
But... they had to go home. Because rules.

I got home from the range hungry. Diced some Campari tomatoes, sautéed in olive oil, added some leftover spaghetti noodles, a minced garlic clove, S&P, fresh basil, & grated parmigiana. Simple but very good. Added benefit of using cooked, cold pasta is it turns into a resistant starch which is much better for you. 2 weeks to Nationals!

Color does cover some things up.
Your eyes actually look for contrast - it's how you see in the dark. You have twice as many rods (b&w) in your eye as cones. Your eyes were made for that to be more distinct and identifiable. Then the cones give you color, and your brain is like, "Wow, that new girl is really cute!" right in front of the current gf (who is beautiful) and you forget all about the dark and light stuff.
Which is a big reason I do not like modern TVs or color-pushed photographs (though some filter work is ok, if it can help with contrasts). The colors always look wrong to me. I can even spot some of the more subtle filters (or effects in digital photography) because the color is just wrong - usually because it makes the contrasts too obvious.
I shot a few rolls of B&W in my day, and I enjoyed it.

I think my LeSabre cost $400 or $600. But it was a convertible. Manual. The motor for automatically raising and lowering the top was disconnected and in the trunk, and I never bothered to try to hook it back in.
With the top down it could hold a whole lot of college students.

Returned U.S. POWs usually said their biggest problem had been boredom, however. (Returned from Germany and Italy, that is... NOT from the Japanese accommodations).

B&W film had the advantage of being something everyone could develop in a darkroom.
And a good bit of fun could be had in said darkroom with a partner of the opposite sex.
It was just a question of what developed first ...

There's a small Confederate POW cemetery in Madison, WI. During the Woke Iconoclasm, the local lefties made a big stink about it, got a plaque removed.
So I looked up the Civil War newspaper articles from the time of their arrival. The POWs were welcomed cordially. Even though they were enemies at time of war. Unfortunately, they didn't do well in the cold weather.

Speaking of German POWs, my grandfather would "hire" them to help with the farm and get the crops in since all our boys were otherwise engaged. Anyhoo, he spoke Texas German which is a kind of patois of German and English mashup and he'd have lunch with the POWs and chat.
Neighbors accused him of being a member of the Bund. Grandmother never let German be spoken in the home (she was Scottish). My dad couldn't speak a bit of German.

One caught my eye- a tabby weave in cream, oatmeal, pumpkin and avocado.
"Look, honey- what a blast from the past!"
"Actually-" said the salesman, "that colorway is coming back."
Oh please, no.

There was a brief window of opportunity when they could've evacuated most of the Afrika Corps ... but they didn't.

Something I found interesting:
Within DAYS after Rommel arrived, they started making Jews register and wear yellow stars.

Franpsycho, the Italian navy (Reggia Marina) was more than just in the way in the Med. They were a potentially serious threat and the Royal Navy's main concern (next to the Luftwaffe) for the early years. If they'd had more fuel, they might have caused more damage than they did.
Their frogmen were also excellent and essentially blazed the path for modern special naval warfare concepts.

4 Jul 1942.
8th Air Force baptism by fire was carried out by crews of the 15th BS(L). It was a series of four attacks.

Future U.S. Attorney General Nick Katzenbach was able to study law while he was a POW in Germany. The Germans didn't care whether or not he had law books, and somehow he got them.

Oh yes the Italians contributed forces to Barbarossa (more really to the follow-on campaigns). Ditto the Hungarians and Romanians (and Spain). A few years back I read a small memoir by a surviving Italian soldier who made it out of the USSR. "Few Returned" I think it's called. As grim and amazing as you would imagine.

handwritten notes… Wish I could.
Sad to relate, my hands are rather uncooperative anymore, and I prefer to type rather than try my illegible scrawls. I should've been a physician.
Not that my handwriting was ever very pretty. I tended to use a kind of cursive-block lettering combo. How those gals in grade school had such perfect cursive I've never understood. Mom, too.
Alas, my piano playing is hindered, too.
I read that Renoir in advanced years had such terrible arthritis that he would have to have the paintbrush taped to his hand.

These extra 2 cases are filled with ranch, variety of seasonings, chic fil a sauce, Reece’s peanut butter cups, beef jerky, root beer, Gatorade, kraft mac & cheese, pancake syrup and pop stars.
Pop stars, loool...pretty sure she could fit Ariana Grande and Sabrina Carpenter in the same carryon.

"Was it the Imperial that pushed you over the fence?
Surely not a Ford or a Chevy."
I wasn't keeping track. The thing I found hardest to do was to make a legal hit (front or back, not side.) As soon as I'd accelerate, the devious drivers would turn their side toward me. My rear frame folded under, and if I hadn't got pushed over the log, I wouldn't have gotten far anyway, with my rear wheels almost off the ground.

The Germans in N. Africa did something they called "corset stiffening"-- integrating German soldiers into Italian units. The Germans reported that these hybrid Italo-German units performed equally as well as the Wehrmacht.

There are several good videos on UToob about German POWs in the US. One good one is about the camp at Concordia, KS. Many POWs returned to the US as immigrants, married women they'd met as prisoners. Same thing in Canada.
A former Navy nurse at a volunteer thing years back talked about how the POWs would come to pick fruit at her family's farm in AZ.
A favorite story is of the two Germans who "escaped" the minimal security camp at Windsor, CA (now wine country). Sheriff and locals got quite excited. They found the guys lazing on the beach (I think near Jenner). They said they just wanted to see the Pacific. Not related but geographically proximate was the story of an Italian POW who worked at a winery/vineyard, returned after the war, and ended up a major figure in the winery, which was a prominent one.

"Tornado girl" is Sophie Cunningham. She is the enforcer on the Indiana Fever that protects Caitlin Clark.
Sophie is only 6'1" and 165#, but what matters is the size of the fight in the dog. Her backdown factor is set on zero.
She is also MUCH cuter when not in enforcer mode.

Franpsycho, great! A few years ago my female supervisor pointed out that the public library was a good option instead of $25 for a book I might not like and would have to find room to keep. Years later, my shelves have only added a few items but I've read a gazillion titles. Even better, the public library here's in a network with the universities, so I'm able to get some pretty obscure (invariably WWII) titles too.

When I was growing up in Phoenix, my dad showed me some old wooden barracks in what is now Papago Park. They were used to house Luftwaffe officers late in the war, and security was only a couple strands of barbed wire because, where ya gonna go?
Still one of the most enterprising organized an escape one night (wasn’t hard) because he’d gotten hold of a map that showed the Gila River about 60 miles south, and the map showed it flowed into the Colorado and then to Mexico. He figured they’d make a crude raft and get out of the country.
So they escaped, and made the hard walk over 60 miles of desert by night, made it to the Gila - and to their complete surprise, learned that rivers in southern Arizona are nothing but sand for about 10 months a year. Never heard of anything like that back in Germany.

I believe Franco only sent one DIVISION to the Eastern front-- the Blue Division. It was an all-volunteer outfit.
That was it, IIRC.
Italy, like Spain, probably would've been of more use to Germany as a pro-German neutral, i.e., as Spain and Portugal were.

A funny and completely predictable story is that quite a few American POWs in Italy were missing for a bit. They woke up to find the guards gone and gates open, and many took off (against orders and, generally, a dangerous thing to do).
Friendly farmer. Friendly young American Friendly farmer's got a daughter. Italy. Small amount of math required. I think they finally found most of them, but the story itself is beautiful.

Thanks for the black and white photography section. When you want to empathize shapes/patterns and textures, colors can be distracting. The mood shifts as well. The same scene in color and black and white can have an entirely different feel. I don't believe Ansel Adams' mountain landscapes would be improved with color.
If I were to get back into photography, especially with film, it would be black and white. A greater challenge in some ways and it offers more latitude in developing and printing.

Tom Servo, I recall that story. U-boat officer, right? Generally POWs in the US didn't try to escape. Most just enjoyed their unbelievable good fortune. There were "hard cases", which we concentrated in a few camps. Really encourage people to watch some of the videos. It's an entirely unsurprising yet feel-good story. Serious enemies come to America and ..... well, minds change.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at June 29, 2026 10:16 PM (O0L8i)
Generally speaking, between Anglicans and Calvinist Protestants, American churches put the flag in their churches because of Paul's (God's) admonition about obeying the rulers over you and Jesus' bit about "render unto Caesar." It is a way of declaring that, while we have no king but Jesus, we are still citizens of this earthly nation and obey it. It helps that the Founders took "Providence" and God so seriously that the idea our nation as "God-given" runs through the nation's very essence.

Reforger I'm not sure your Geneva protections change if you walk from an abandoned camp. But the chances of those protections being ignored or not understood increase quite a bit. Thus the standard orders to remain in place. Also, camps were generally marked and known, so Allied air could avoid hitting them. Smart move was to stay put.

Okay, enough with the docking from me for now. I was getting so deep into that, time was getting away from me.
6 degrees of freedom is a bitch. You've got your 3 translational axes to worry about, and then 3 degrees of attitude angles. Doesn't matter if you get the nose pointed right, you've got to get lined up translationally as well.
I got within 10 m range, and then my x and y translation wouldn't stabilize right -- it was always drifting, and then I'd get obsessed with trying to get that steady, and then my attitude would start drifting.
Time to abort for a while.....

USS New Orleans. Pearl Harbor. 7 Dec 1942.
Ship was tied to pier power with no boilers lit. So ammunition for the 5in AA guns had to be manually passed up, to encourage morale to accomplish this Herculean task, Chaplain Maurice Forgey would slap backs and offer encouragement to the sailors and Marines. He was reported to have uttered the now famous phrase, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition."
In 1944 he would publish a memoir of USS New Orleans battles in the Pacific until a Japanese Long Lance torpedo blew her bow and #1 8in turret off. It would be titled And Pass the Ammunition.

I read an interesting account of the only German POW to escape from a prison camp in North America, & make it all the way back to Germany. He was imprisoned in Canada.
He was a Luftwaffe pilot. He got across the U.S.-Canadian border., during the two year period when America was still neutral.
Then, he phoned the German embassy in Washington, and they facilitated his entry into Mexico. From Mexico, he took a ship to Spain. From Spain, it was easy for him to arrange travel back to Germany.
He was later killed in action. He went to a lot of trouble just to die.

So, POW in camp then AWOL if you walk out?
Yet Article 3
"If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy."
I found a friendly farmers daughter when I "escaped". Decided the best way to aid in the war was to stay with her.
It really doesn't say much about what else to do afterward.
Personally I would have found some guns and raised hell until they killed, or captured me again.

Chuck Yeager was shot down over Germany and escaped and evaded, making his way to neutral Switzerland iirc. After repatriation he demanded to be sent back to his unit to continue fighting. This wasn’t ordinarily done or allowed, as knowledge of resistance units or friendlies would be tortured out of a POW if re-captured.
He kept at it, eventually garnering an audience with the man himself, General Eisenhower.
Ike said something like “I just wanted to actually meet the guy who can go back home to the states but refuses”. Yeager was authorized to go back to his unit and fly more combat missions. Quite the guy.

RE: Portugal and the Azores:
The U.S.made Portugal an offer it couldn't refuse: allow us to put military bases in the Azores, or else will take the Azores by force. If Portugal makes us go to all that trouble... say goodby to the Azores forever.
Germany didn't protest too much about the Azores, because Portugal was the source of Germany's wolfram, which was used to harden steel. That's what Germany cared about, not the Azores.
By the time Portugal permitted the U.S. to put airbases in the Azores, the Azores were the least of Germany's problems.

Went to school with a girl whose dad was blonde, blue eyed, read, wrote and spoke high German. He was captured 3 times. He would kill a guard and put on his uniform. Worked his way up to an officer's uniform then command a driver to take him to the front where he crossed the lines and went back to work.

Lt. Karl Timmermann was the first American officer across the Ludendorff Bridge at Remagen.
He was born in Germany in 1922, his father had served in the American expeditionary Force in the Great War. After the armistice he went AWOL and shacked up with a German girl. The whole family would return to the father's rural hometown but for his whole short life Karl had to live under the cloud of his father's actions. Karl would die in 1951.

Nazi Germany, like the Confederacy, had problems feeding and housing POWs decently-- while losing an existential war.
Returned U.S. POWs usually said their biggest problem had been boredom, however. (Returned from Germany and Italy, that is... NOT from the Japanese accommodations).

Early in my career I worked for a guy who was a bomber pilot in WWII. He was shot down over Germany, bailed out and was picked up by a German patrol the minute he hit the ground. He said they were very professional. Relieved him of a few items (watch, cigarettes, etc), took him straight to a Doctor to treat a nasty cut on his head he got bailing out of the plane, then a brief interrogation and off to a POW camp. He said it was stark but not deprivation, just boring.

280 The folks trying to get out of Casablanca sought transit through Lisbon, where refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe were able to find ready transport out. That was one historical detail that the movie got right: Salazar’s Portugal was very sympathetic to the Allied cause.

It depended on the location, and stage of the war.
The locals often would kill you with a pitchfork. Getting picked up by the local Polizei might have been a reprieve from getting beaten to death. After all you just got done dropping bombs on them. But the Gestapo interrogators were assholes, and they had very good intelligence, the bastards. Your home address, family members, all sorts of things.
One of my customers was Loren Darling, a waist-gunner on a B-17 piloted by “Rosy” Rosenthal, another guy they broke the mold after they made him. His plane and crew were the only ones that made it back after a mission, albeit all shot to hell.
Mr. Darling always had a huge smile on his face whenever I talked to him. Always. Really nice guy. I knew he was a B-17 guy during the war, but I wish I would have spent more time with him.

Common Tater that's a true story. Korean, impressed into Japanese military service, is captured by the Soviets (presumably at Khalkin Gol, not sure). Ends up being impressed into Red Army service. Is captured by the Germans, who put him in some "osttruppen" unit ("volunteers" and people of varying motivations but limited military value mostly from eastern Europe) that ends up near Utah beach on D-Day. Captured by us. Thus endeth his service in 3 different armies in WWII.
One soldier said to a senior officer at Utah early in the operation, after his unit's interpreters couldn't talk to their prisoners due to limited German capability among them, "sir, just who are we fighting here?".

Casablanca is one of the best films ever made, imo.
However, historical accuracy was not it's strong suit.
The story goes that when the historical inaccuracies, & things that just plain didn't make any sense, were pointed out to director Michael Curtiz, he replied, "Don't vorry. I make it go so fast, nobody notice."

Yeager, of all people, was an avid Backpacker. He liked to take long hikes into the Sierra lakes and go fishing for a week or two.
He would have Air Force planes airdrop supplies in. RHIP, I guess. Good training, too. His buds pulled a fast one on him, in lieu of the customary steaks, one time they dropped a load of frozen fish-sticks. He got pretty irate about that, because they had already had all the fresh fish they could eat, and the airdropped canister had fallen into an almost inaccessible location.

I'd like to see a book on German POWs in the US during WWII. An interesting story. Seems the early prisoners were ordinary schlubs who were no problem, but when the SS guys came over things got more tense.

I've seen a video on the tube of ewes that alleges the Japanese POWs freaked out because their first meal was white rice- which was usually what was fed to condemned prisoners in Japan.
As with everything like that on the net of inters I wonder if it's true.

They were neighbors with a kid I went to school with, and I would see this chick's father outside. Occasionally he would say things to me from his driveway. I swear he was SS, thick german accent, cold eyes that would bore through you. The neighbor on the other side was also a kid I went to school with, and at the last high school reunion he said "dude, he was a creepy nazi!!". Needless to say I didn't go near his daughter. I found out recently she never married. Now there's a surprise.

This is how you do it: When you start out, get your Y and Z translational position dead on center. Don't worry about your attitude angles. Piddle around with that, slow and steady, not too much thrust either way. Get it dead on zero and holding steady.
Now, adjust your attitude. Pitch, roll, and yaw. Get them zeroed and steady. Make sure they're holding and as close to zero as you can.
Check Y and Z translation, make sure it's holding zero. So now, we've got our tip, our probe, our shaft lined up straight with the waiting ISS hole.
Now, we thrust along X and start moving in. Attitude held the whole way with me, but I had to keep bumping the Y and Z translation. Keep your closing speed to about 0.2 m/s, roughly. Too fast and you can't adjust the Y and Z fast enough.

Hadrian I know I've seen titles for such books (POW experience in the US) but never wrote them down. Like I said above, a good start are the various videos on UToob. The one about Concordia is good and pretty representative I think.
Hard cases were segregated by the US as they revealed themselves and concentrated in a few camps. Most prisoners were pretty apolitical and of course the safety, food, reasonable work, amenities, and friendly locals made most of them pretty good citizens, er, prisoners.

Humans may be fascinated by cubes, but only one animal poops them: the bare-nosed wombat. This furry Australian marsupial squeezes out nearly 100 six-sided turds every day—an ability that has long mystified scientists. Now, researchers say they have uncovered how the wombat intestine creates this exceptional excrement.
Obviously, they poop cubes because they're still 8-bit animals who never got an upgrade to 16-bit, much less 32 or 64.

Watches? Dad: "Nobody gave us any watches..."

Well, I am done with buddy's Gravely mower. I think there is something fundamentally wrong with the hydraulics. It moves, forwards and back, and steers, but it has no speed, and little power. I mowed with it for an hour or more, and it did a fine job of cutting grass, but it bogged badly on hills, and my yard is not super steep. I had to replace the hydro drive belt, and was able to get a good-fitting one at the local ag dealer. Fixed a tire that kept going flat, freed up the stuck seat adjusting tracks, and raised the seat by an inch and half by fitting pieces of 1X2 between the seat tracks and the seat pan.
Turns out he bought this thing at an auction, minus engine, and dropped in an engine from another mower. I am wondering, did previous owner have trouble with the hydraulics, got a huge quote on repairs, and decided to keep the good engine and auction off the hulk.
My ancient Dixon mower will run circles around this thing, and is much less tiring to operate.

Early in my career I worked for a guy who was a bomber pilot in WWII. He was shot down over Germany, bailed out and was picked up by a German patrol the minute he hit the ground. He said they were very professional. Relieved him of a few items (watch, cigarettes, etc), took him straight to a Doctor to treat a nasty cut on his head he got bailing out of the plane, then a brief interrogation and off to a POW camp. He said it was stark but not deprivation, just boring.

I did a kitchen for a guy who was a ball turret gunner on a B17. Small dude, so no surprise he was in the ball turret. He got shot down during some of the first missions. Spent 3 years as a POW. He said he slept outside for most of it, and only ended up with slight knee problems from his experience. He was 63 when I did the kitchen in around 1990. He was full of piss and vinegar, but funny as all hell. He was doing a good amount of work in the house himself. I would make a suggestion and the next day it was already done. Unreal energy he had.

I've read this, & believe it to be true, not apocryphal:
Orson Welles ad libbed the "cuckoo clock" dialogue in The Third Man.
I suspect Welles ad libbed it; that it wasn't in the script; but everyone loved it. So they added it to the script, & used it. I doubt he ad libbed the finished version seen in the movie.

“For you, the war is over”.
Landing in Switzerland, a disabled bomber, one wasn’t exactly a POW but one was detained for the duration. One might think a crew or two might decide to abscond to Switzerland and sit out the rest of the war. Seems tempting, considering the life expectancy of a B-17. If you’re losing 5 or 10 per cent of the airplanes every mission, and you have to complete 25 missions (later extended to 30, then 35), do the math.
But this didn’t happen. I really can’t figure out how those guys kept getting in those planes. Day after day.

The Alamo Scouts were an ad hoc unit and had no table of organization & equipment (TO&E).
_While not on missions, Alamo Scout teams were assigned as bodyguards for General Krueger
_ performed 110 known missions behind enemy lines, mainly in New Guinea and the Philippines, without losing a single man.

Seriously, the ISS docking simulator is fun:

Give it a try. Slow and steady, and line up as dead-on as you can get it when you start moving in. When you get close, which for me was about 20 m, slow down to a crawl, because any little wiggle there will be amplified looking at the crosshairs.

Switzerland treated interned allied flyers no better, and sometimes worse, than the Germans treated POWs, from what I've read.
Late in the war, the treatment got better-- for obvious reasons.
I think Switzerland could accurately be categorized as a pro-axis neutral nation, at least before 1944.

I was too busy with/recovering from a family reunion to actually participate in the ONT of songs you could listen to 100 times straight, but I considered "Gepetto". Well, the answer was no, but "Sad Dress" from the same album was yes. After all, when I first got Star (1993) on CD, I put it on repeat.
And then did it again the next day.
And the day after that. (People don't even know what madness headphones saved them from.) I don't know how many hundreds of times I've heard it.

Oh, update on my 96 yr old mother. A doctor there at the hospital got to looking at her history and got to wondering. So far, we though the problem was just due to fluid build up (chronic venous insufficiency that's been there for over 10 years) and heart failure.
She's got old-age wear-and-tear heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. That's different from heart failure with reduced EF. He noted her heart wasn't that bad, and got to wondering. Cellulitis had developed, which was being treated since last week.
He wondered if there was a blood clot that was actually the root cause, and ordered some deep ultrasounds.
Turned out she did had several clots, and that's been the problem this whole time.

The doc there said that this can be tricky. You think condition A is being caused by X, and X may be a big part of it, but something else could still be going on. Then you just go down that road, getting confirmation bias going on.
He was sort of fresh eyes on this problem. He just noticed the cellulitis wasn't that bad, he didn't think, yet a lot of redness. And her heart wasn't that bad relatively speaking, and so got to wondering.

One of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes strips was one where Calvin asks dad why old photographs are all in black and white. The dad launches into an explanation that color didn't come to the world before 19-something....before that the world was black and white...

He was sort of fresh eyes on this problem. He just noticed the cellulitis wasn't that bad, he didn't think, yet a lot of redness. And her heart wasn't that bad relatively speaking, and so got to wondering.

Well this is confusing. There's another video for "Gepetto"? It wasn't *that* good. Oh, it's for the "(Single Remix)" version.
Still, there are better songs, even on the same album, that didn't get *one* vid. Music industry is wack, man.
Better music video, still not a 100x song:
Belly - Gepetto (Video)

Another 100x candidate like "Sad Dress":

I must have 100's of the bicentennial quarters. I have a few of those 1 gallon glass wine jugs filled with change. I was tossing those things into the jugs for years. For some reason I still run across them over the last few years, more than usual, and thinking about it made me check my pocket just now, and sure as shit I got one. Its almost like a shitload went into circulation not long ago. I think it may be relatives that got into dead relative's stash and are spending them.

CALVIN: Dad, how come old photographs are always black and white? Didn’t they have color film back then?
DAD: Sure they did. In fact, those old photographs are in color. It’s just the world was black and white then.
CALVIN: Really?
DAD: Yep. The world didn’t turn color until sometime in the 1930s, and it was pretty grainy color for a while, too.
CALVIN: That’s really weird.
DAD: Well, truth is stranger than fiction.
CALVIN: But then why are old paintings in color?! If the world was black and white, wouldn’t artists have painted it that way?
DAD: Not necessarily. A lot of great artists were insane.
CALVIN: But … but how could they have painted in color anyway? Wouldn’t their paints have been shades of gray back then?
DAD: Of course, but they turned colors like everything did in the ’30s.
CALVIN: So why didn’t old black and white photos turn color, too?
DAD: Because they were color pictures of black and white, remember?

He's got her on blood thinner pretty good now, breaking up the clot. However, this will be another tricky balance to maintain. She's got ITP, platelet count trying to crash. And they're treating that and I have found the right dosages of the stuff they treat that with.
And she's a fall risk on top of that. Adding blood thinners to that is not too good. So, there's an option to put a little filter thing in her vein going back to the heart to stop any future blood clot mess from getting back up to her heart and lungs. While not too big of deal, she is 96.
So, this another risk vs benefit equation to figure out with her.

I got interested in just how accurate that ISS docking simulator was, and had Grok go over it. Turns out the gravity model it uses (the complex tidal field) is pretty crude. Trying to do it accurately would be just too much for such a web-based program like that. It gives you some drift behavior, but it's not that accurate. The idea is just to give you some drifting behavior that annoys you enough as the real thing would.

Damnit, you did it again - got my nerd brain going.
I suspect the programmer optimized for the human problem rather than the physics problem. As you mentioned, complicated to code - get a believable drift to force one to fly/dock the way a real astronaut would. Perhaps not to reproduce orbital mechanics perfectly. Reproduce the mental workload to dock? I dunno - probabaly thinking that because I am certain I could not code it.

That's it, looks like. Give you enough annoyance factors to simulate the real thing, but the actual drift would be different. I also imagine the computational load would be pretty big, especially for a web application thing like this.
Asking Grok, the computational load for a high-fidelity tidal field simulation wouldn't be that bad on modern hardware, but when you add the graphics and other stuff, it's just much candy for a nickel for that web-based application.

Well, I think this is the bottom line on the simulator accuracy. If you're going to get to down to high gravitational accuracy, then there's other non-gravitational effects (drag, solar radiation pressure, venting from the ISS, which is going on all the time) that will affect things on the same order of magnitude. So, if you're going to be accurate with one thing, it's no good unless you're accurate with everything else.
And, then you'd need to start modelling the exact behavior of the Dragon's thruster, and the jitter and error in their behavior......
NASA's own flight simulators do all that. And they are big, expensive, and computationally intensive. So, if you were really going to dock to the ISS, you'd train on the fully Monty simulator. :-)

And Scampy, if your nerd brain is interested, the gravitational modelling for orbital proximity operations are called the Clohessy-Wiltshire (CW) equations.
A complication I wasn't even thinking of. Suppose we naively maintain an inertial attitude reference frame, to keep things simple, so there's no rotating frame effects. Well, from that frame, the ISS would rotate around use once per orbit, as well as the big ol' Erf looming close by.
We must use a rotating frame for these maneuvers for that reason, to keep the ISS stationary. And the CW equations are done in that rotating frame. So there's centrifugal and Coriolis terms in addition to the (time-varying) tidal tensor terms.

Sometimes I hate you - in a friendly, dumb-dumb way. My brain just went recursive - solving one problem only to find 40 new I'd not considered. Now I have friction/space, drift, no gravity, temperature impacts. Yep, you’re operating several floors above my current orbital mechanics elevator. Great example of the difference between a simple looking problem and the actual physics problem. Of which, I am over the tips of my skis.

If you're interested in how this behaves, imagine you're in a circular, equatorial orbit around the Erf. This keeps things simple. Imagine at the starting point, the earth is below your feet. You maintain inertial attitude, that is, you're not rotating. One half orbit later, the Erf is now above your head. And when you complete one orbit, the earth is under your feet again.
If you want to keep the Erf fixed under your feet, you need to rotate at exactly your orbital period. One RPO, one revolution per orbit.
They call this LVLH attitude: Local vertical, local horizontal. On this ISS, up, radially, is the Z axis. The X-axis points along the direction of the orbit, and the Y-axis is normal to those.
And that is a rotating frame of reference, of course.

Now, imagine you have a buddy in orbit with you. He starts out a little below you, between you and the earth. Just a few feet below you, say. Imagine, you're both in the original pure inertial attitude configuration.
Over one orbit, you see your buddy below revolve around you! After on half orbit, his feet are now "above" your head, with the big ol' Erf above your head as well.
From your POV, your close buddy is orbiting around you. Sort of makes docking a bit aggravating, doesn't it?
Now, you go into LVLH mode. Your buddy stays below you and doesn't orbit, but guess what? He's now rotating! To you, he looks like he's spinning around. He's not really rotating, you are.
So, your buddy needs to start rotating the same as you. Now, it looks he's staying put.

And now, the final complication. When your buddy is below you, he's actually in a slightly lower, and therefore faster orbit. So his own LVLH rotation rate has to be every so slightly faster......
Over time, as you go around and around, your buddy is going to drift away relative to you because of that faster orbit. The closer you are initially, the slower that drift rate, and difference in relative rotation rate is. But it's there, and over time adds up.

Buzz Aldrin's MIT Ph.D thesis was in orbital rendezvous and guidance techniques. They called him at NASA, not entirely affectionately, "Dr. Rendezvous".
In the early days, they naively underestimated these "orbital tidal effects" we'll call it. The reason was the earth's tidal field is very tiny. Close enough, it should be close to inertial free-space behavior. That's true, and it would be say in a radial free fall.
But in orbit, it's that fast rotation I was going on above that makes things far more significant. It's a small tidal field, but it's rotating around very fast, and that makes all the difference.

>> keep him standing upright while I circle him around the globe.
That's it exactly.
Now, doing that, move him around 90 degrees, one quarter of circle. Now, how much do you need to rotate him and it what direction, to get his feet pointing at the earth (center) again?

You'll see you need to rotate him exactly 90 degrees, and in the same direction as the orbit.
If you're going around CCW, he needs to rotate CCW, and at the same rate as the orbit, one revolution around his axis per orbit. He's just like the Moon, keeping his same face, his feet here, pointed right at the earth as he goes around.

>> That's clarifying.
Excellent. Rotation and revolution together can get confusing. We're following a circular path around a center, and also rotating about our own axis.
In 3D space, these are different, and independent. On the ground, say driving a car in a circle about some point, we naturally rotate about our axis as we do that, because the steering naturally makes the nose point in the direction of travel.
But in 3D space, that doesn't have to apply.

The lack of AC in the euros is just a method of passive euthanasia of the elderly. Of their lower classes. That's their culture. Like the rape of the young girls is passive sterilization. Of their lower classes. The elite see themselves as a wholly separate humanity with the rest being inconvenient pesky herds of bipedal animals to be managed and culled when necessary.

Neat photograph, Ace.
This photograph is titled "Dinka Group at Pagarau Cattle Camp, Southern Sudan" and was taken by Sebastião Salgado in 2006.It is part of his celebrated "Genesis" series, which documents landscapes and communities that have remained largely unchanged.The image captures the close symbiotic relationship between the Dinka people and their cattle, including traditional practices such as using cowpat ash for insect protection.

Some dogs just will not get fetch. Everything is mine! mine! mine! all things are mine!
You can't even try multiple objects seeing if they will drop one to fetch the other. No they will try to pick up all objects in their mouth and stand guard over the rest. Eventually you'll throw something and they give you a look, "do you expect me to get that? Why would you expect that?" and they're done.
Other dogs, they were born wanting to do it. I had a beagle that loved it but they love chasing things and bringing it back instinctively.

In a nutshell, she is hospitalized with sepsis and cannot eat or walk. This follows months of difficult cancer treatment and serious surgery. So, if you would like to drop her a note, please do contact me for her address (she told me to give it to anyone who wants it).

Posted by: Blutarski
There is a yak ranch close by. The owner raises them primarily for their undercoat - think wool (not hair! damnit) not for their meat. They act like big dogs and are gentle as all get out but don't really know their own strength. The really crazy thing is, they don't stink like cattle. Pretty much they don't smell at all. Even their manure doesn't smell too bad.

That last video of the blind dog; my sister's male Persian kittuh, as he got older, he lost his sight. He would still try to play as much as his old bones could take. She would roll a toy across the floor and he'd hear it, then go hunt for it. When he found it, he'd bat it around. Ole Casper was a nice kittuh.

From the when you think you've done a good deed dept.
Last Friday on the way home from town I see a guy sitting back in the trees holding a Need Food sign.
Today he is still sitting in the same spot. I gotta do something, right? I call the sheriff's office. Nope, he's in the city limits. I get transferred to the police dept. They go check him out, tell him he can't ask for food or money .
I didn't help and probably made it worse. I should have just bought him some cheap burgers and left it at that.

Gotta be in bad shape to stand in the heat or the cold all day, right? But it seems organized, and I don't know if they're legit or not. Was a time, I'd prefer to donate to a homeless shelter, but now that those frauds have been exposed, I don't know what to do to help homeless or desperate people.

In England there was an extremely popular band circa 1980 called The Jam. The writer, singer and guitar player is named Paul Weller. Remains popular there, known as The Modfather. He has taken to performing concerts with Hamas flags behind the band and a Hamas circle on the bass drum. You have to wonder if he gives the full Hamas concert experience, with the audience being raped and killed after the show. Even on his fan sites it seems maybe 60-70 percent think he's nuts

The Nancy Pelosi Institute for Representative Democracy, or NPI, will be a hub for research, teaching and civic engagement rooted in a shared commitment to advancing the public good. Through faculty research initiatives, undergraduate courses and a visiting fellows program, the institute will explore what impedes progress and how best to solve political problems, from polarization to the future of artificial intelligence.
...
Basing the institute at Berkeley means it will serve a student body where one-quarter of undergraduates are the first in their family to attend college and 27% receive federal Pell Grants, which are reserved for undergraduate students who display exceptional financial need.

Volunteer to cook at a soup kitchen. Me and Marine went every third Friday of the month and cooked from scratch a meal for 75-100 homeless
folks. It was organized by a patient of mine and I asked him if we could come and help. Marine needed 100 hours of community service as a graduation requirement.
It was a great experience for both of us. We prepped and cooked and served and cleaned up with about five other people. It was busy and chaotic and HARD. But. It was nice to get a smile
And a thank you from someone who had nothing else to give.

I used to wash dishes at Covenant House, before they abandoned all Catholic identity and went hard on abortion "rights." It was quite rewarding to think I was helping kids not have to be on the street. But, like most "charities," they ended up getting funding from the various USAID grifting schemes and went full retard.
I can't wash dishes for a place that takes teenage girls to Planned Barrenhood.

The ACB authored opinion on Election Day is worse than I thought. After reading the opinion it’s probably the most despicable piece of extra constitutional insidiousness I have ever read. She whole cloth changed the meaning of Election Day as understood since the founding. It’s no longer an immutable, unchangeable day. She invented a moving target that isn’t based on any constitutional principle. It’s an insidious and probably deliberate disaster.

tcn,
This place only served homeless men. They had to already have a plan and placement in a program somewhere. They had been screened. Otherwise I would not have put my teenage boy in a position of having to defend his mom.
There were some scuffles. And some ornery patrons. But. The fact was we worked. We chopped onions and garlic and vegetables and fried chicken and pork chops and made lasagna from scratch.
Marine was the baker. He made the cookies and the pies and the brownies. And he LOVED working his ass off and having folks come back for seconds.
Not giving money. Giving time directly to the needy. Not up to me to judge if they are just working the system. Just work and serve.

They have nice new tents to live in, they are allowed to crap in the creeks and parks and pretty much anywhere they like, they aren't required to get sober to stay in nice warm shelters if they so choose, and they are never busted for trespassing, public inebriation, or drug dealing.

But I will cook and serve them a hot, healthy meal made with love. And serve and say “I hope you get better.”

That's one of the best scenes. Adams is instructed how to approach the throne by bowing deeply times going in, then three times going out without turning his back on the royal person. The king seemed really unfocused, staring off in the distance. I guess he later went insane.

Yes. Hobos were migrant workers, back in the day when white people used to be migrant workers. Likely not the upper crust of society, but they did work for a living. At least sometimes.
Another difference is that hobos are mobile, pretty much by definition, while bums tend to stake out a fixed piece of turf and hang on to it.

Hoboes rode the rails. They (supposedly) had a code of conduct or near enough. They had an informal network and pretty much knew everyone, and what railyards were OK, where certain farmhouses along the way might provide a meal.
Riding the rails was dangerous, the railroads have their own right of way going back to the original grants, and had their own police and nobody asked too many questions if somebody disappeared off a boxcar outside of Cheyenne. It’s a very cold, loud, and dirty way to travel.

Quick Hits
A radical, Israel-hating California teacher claimed she married a Gaza resident online to help him gain American citizenship -- and push her pro-Palestinian agenda. Laura Pinho, a dance teacher at Canoga Park Senior High School in California, announced her nuptials in a wild June 16 CODEPINK Zoom webinar called "Challenging Zionism In Our Schools." When CODEPINK activist Marcy Winograd congratulated her on her marriage and asked her to share details about her life, Pinho, 51, launched into a pedantic monologue about how she only married Salem S.E. Abu Amra to advance "Palestinian rights and freedoms." "I have power as an American citizen. I have a passport that I was just born with, and how can I live in this world if I don't make every effort to equalize the playing field on whatever way that I can," she said in the webinar, first uncovered by the North American Values Institute. Englewood New Jersey Mayor Michael Wildes -- who is also an immigration attorney and former federal prosecutor in the Eastern District of New York -- told The Post that Pinho is playing with fire. "She can be prosecuted criminally, brought up on federal conspiracy charges. Marriage fraud is one of the top five crimes you can perpetrate including terrorism and drugs. The fact that somebody would be foolish enough to say they actually did it makes it actionable for the federal government to investigate," Wildes said.By the way, she's cucking her child's father, whom she lives with.
Marrying someone to obtain a green card is federal crime and can carry a five-year prison sentence and up to a $250,000 fine, according to the Department of Justice. The odd couple tied the knot April 5 in Utah, which allows marriages to be conducted via Zoom, according to records posted online by the Utah County Clerk and obtained by Israeli nonprofit NGO Monitor. Utah allows virtual marriages in which both parties aren't in the same location so long as they have secured a Utah County marriage license and provide valid ID and two witnesses, who also don't have to be physically present in the state.
The bride has a 5-year-old child with Derek J. Reid, 51, an improv coach who also lives at her address, according to public records. Reid told The Post that he and Pinho were domestic partners and never officially married, and that they're currently separated and the two sleep in different rooms at the same address. He said he had no knowledge of her marriage to Abu Amra. ... "She's been radicalized -- I don't know anything about that... the crowd she runs with... I'm worried for her," Reid said. ... She claimed she first met her husband through mutual friends on Facebook and donated an undisclosed amount of money to him, and he proceeded to message her to say thanks. ... Pinho heads her school's Students for Justice in Palestine club and bragged about injecting her virulent anti-Israel politics into her dance curriculum. She posted video from a school cultural event in which her students performed the "Dabke Dance" -- a Palestinian folk dance that has come to be associated with terrorism. ... She boasts that she steered her students into radical anti-Israel protests. "Students have rights, powers and abilities. . . . they do the fighting, they do the protesting, and we are there to guide them. . . . that is the role that I have found as one of the co-sponsors actually for the Students for Justice in Palestine Club," she said. Pinho has a long history of antisemitic posts on social media.Obviously this far-left teacher is a big fan of Noted Conservative Influencer Candace Owens:

But just days ago, he said it was "obviously" not because of his position on transgenderism. He said it was because of Charlie's evolving views on Israel. And yet here he is denying that he ever took that position. He gaslights and lies to every person who even gently challenges him.

Easy rejection - marriages arranged solely for immigration purposes are not valid for immigration purposes.
Immigration officials have been known to separate couples and ask them questions (a classic is "which side of the bed do you sleep on").
Since the guy isn't even in the United States, he has zero chance of getting a spousal visa to enter the United States, unless INS completely screws up.

And now she is going to jail. Too bad, so sad.

I had a friend who lived for a few years in Carson California. Went to school with mostly black and hispanic kids. he was very white, with the Scottish surname and everything. But, he was one of those rare people blessed with a genuinely charming personality. Not the slick huckster type. he was just a legitimately nice guy. Prolly what kept him from being shanked in cafeteria.
He later moved to Colorado, and it took him some time stop punctuating his sentences with "an' shit."

DJ: "He contradicts himself with such conviction."
That is a sign of socio/psychopathy. He proffers weak to no caveats like, "I don't think I said that" or "I might've thought that but changed because ...". It's the conviction to sternly signal essentially "how dare you make such a claim and you shouldn't investigate further" that makes it so unsettling.

Easy rejection - marriages arranged solely for immigration purposes are not valid for immigration purposes.
Immigration officials have been known to separate couples and ask them questions (a classic is "which side of the bed do you sleep on").
Since the guy isn't even in the United States, he has zero chance of getting a spousal visa to enter the United States, unless INS completely screws up.
Or, let him in for the laughs. Just keep ICE agents nearby in case he goes Aloha Snackbar on people other than his wife.

Etm. Many thanks for teaching me something today, Ace.
I think that chick growing out her armpit hair has nothing to worry about regarding men talking to her. Her eyeglasses, tattoos and general hideousness are warning signs. Plus the ever present nose ring. No worries!
I'm wondering if she walks around proudly with her pits showing now. Hands up don't shoot or speak?
I feel sorry for parents of these freakoids and any boys who have to figure this out, etm. But at least there are signs!

This has nothing to do with immigrants marrying, but wacko all the same.
Someone my DIL knows is "separated" from her baby daddy. They are white people from MN (I know!!!). They have 3 kids, one a set of twins who are out of control. Baby daddy claims he was tricked into them. Mama told all of her dirty laundry all over the school. I honestly would have vanished before telling a soul.
Here's the issue: the mother (who is educated and attractive) does not have her name on the titles to the house or car. The car was repo'd. Somehow she coughed up money to stay in the house a bit longer.
As they are not married (common law?) there is no alimony, child support, etm. One or the other of her parents fly to help her once a month from MN. I have problems understanding why she does not move back. I admit to wanting her to. DIL feels sorry for her and is a nicer person than I am. I smile and say hi is all I can do.
I keep asking my husband how anyone could do this with a tiny grain of sense? What on earth? I was a crazy dingbat but I knew I should be married before kids and get my name on everything. Therefore I am smarter than one person on the planet.

Tcn, further to what you and 44 and 33 describe, we had a similar experience with my wife, who was born in Germany in 1955 to 2 US citizens, her father was stationed in Germany as an Army colonel. She had a German birth certificate, plus a State Department naturalization certificate when they moved back to the States in 1957, when she was 2 years old.
In order to get a passport last year, as you describe, we were required to send originals to the State Department. I was VERY hesitant, since these were 60+ year old documents that could never be reproduced. I finally bit the bullet, because my wife really wanted to go on this international trip. I sent the originals to the State Department with her passport application by registered mail, and lo and behold, they were sent back within a month by registered mail and the passport was approved!
Purely anecdotal, and every situation is different, but I was for once impressed by the Federal Government!

Supreme Court May Decide Birthright Citizenship Case This Week; RNC Sues Colorado Over Allowing Birth Tourism Foreigners Who Never Even Set Foot in Colorado to Vote There
In the next few days, we may find out if we have a country or not.
May be. The Disney Groomer Corporation is sad.The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to weigh in this week on President Donald Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship by executive order, a move which would upend more than a century of legal precedent and a national tradition that have said babies born on American soil are automatically American citizens. The ruling, one of the most highly anticipated of the year, is a major test of Trump's unprecedented assertion of presidential power in his second term with major stakes for millions of children and their families.If they meant to say that all persons born in the US were citizens, they would have just said that. Instead they added an additional qualification: "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof." That is, not subject to the jurisdiction of a foreign country, that is, not a citizen of another country.
What is birthright citizenship? Birthright citizenship is the idea that a child automatically becomes a citizen of the country in which they are born, regardless of the immigration status of their parents. It reflects the principle of jus soli, or right of the soil, extending citizenship purely on the basis of geographic location. By contrast, many countries extend citizenship under the principle of jus sanguinis, or right of blood, which is determined by the nationality of a child's parents regardless of the location of birth. How does birthright citizenship work in the U.S.? With few exceptions, all babies born on U.S. soil become U.S. citizens. For the approximately 3.6 million children born in American hospitals every year, the birth certificate alone has been the key to obtaining Social Security numbers, passports and early life benefits. Into adulthood, the birth certificate has been universally recognized as proof of citizenship for such things as voter registration, employment, home loans and military service. What does the Constitution say about birthright citizenship? The 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 to address the legal status of former slaves and their descendants, says plainly that all "persons born or naturalized in the U.S. and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" are citizens.
Yes, they have done so by completely ignoring the qualification that you need to be born in the US and be subject to the jurisdiction of the US and not to another country. Will the Supreme Court agree, finally? I doubt it. Coney Barrett's inclinations are always towards the liberal status quo, unless the case is so clear that it overrides her inclinations. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch both side with liberals in many cases. And Roberts, of course, invented "it's a tax" out of whole cloth -- this had never even been argued by Obama, for the obvious reason that he swore up and down that Obamacare was not a new set of taxes -- to side with the liberal establishment after a brutal influence campaign directed at this weak, status-seeking man. Meanwhile, in Colorado, we see anew the problem with allowing automatic birthright citizenship. Many people who were born in the US only due to birthright tourism -- flying to the US within a week of delivering a baby to secure that baby US citizenship, before flying back home, usually to China --are permitted to vote in Colorado despite having never, ever actually been residents of Colorado. Not just birthright citizenship, but birthright permanent voting rights for foreigners living in foreign adversary nations.
Congress later codified the same language in federal citizenship law enacted in 1940. Courts and the government have repeatedly interpreted the 14th Amendment to unambiguously confer citizenship on all children born in the U.S., including babies of unauthorized noncitizens and temporary residents, such as asylum seekers, international students, tourists and seasonal workers.
The Republican National Committee on Friday filed suit in Denver District state court against Secretary of State Jena Griswold, challenging her office's policy of allowing overseas voters who have never set foot in Colorado to cast ballots in state elections. Filed just four days before Colorado's primary election, the suit argues Griswold's implementation of the state's overseas voter law runs headlong into the Colorado Constitution's residency requirement. Griswold is also a candidate for Colorado attorney general in the June 30 Democrat primary. "Residency is not inherited and cannot be established by proxy," the complaint reads. "An individual who has never personally made Colorado his or her home has not 'resided in this state' within the meaning of Article VII of the Colorado Constitution." Griswold's office claims that "if you are a United States citizen who has never lived in the United States, you can register to vote in Colorado if your parent, legal guardian, spouse, or domestic partner was a resident of Colorado before leaving the United States." The complaint argues that allowing residency for voting to pass by proxy through a parent or spouse is unconstitutional, regardless of what the legislature or the secretary of state says. Joining the RNC in the suit are Douglas County Clerk and Recorder Sheri Davis and U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank, who represents the Colorado Springs area. The plaintiffs argue the policy is a partisan issue as well as a legal problem, pulling no punches on this point: "it is well understood that the overseas civilian voting bloc, which is partly comprised of these illegal never-resident voters, overwhelmingly supports and votes for Democratic Party candidates."The latter from Stephen Green of Instapundit. Also from Green:

I see how this can gum up Senate and Presidential elections by handing control over to China — especially now since Colorado is party to NPVIC.
But how do Congressional districts work? Through random lottery, or do Chinese nationals with US birth certificates get their ballots marked and routed to Congressional Districts that need some padding?

Pretty sure that Trump is going to lose this one. SCOTUS may try to split the baby on their decision but I doubt it. The 14th amendment is ambiguous at best and we do not have the insights of the people who wrote it immediately after the civil war. We have some writings from that period that show they were only concerned with granting citizenship for freed slaves, but that's about it.

The argument that everybody in the US is "subject to the jurisdiction" because they can be arrested for breaking US laws is ridiculous.
Can you imagine if we arrested a foreigner and we said to their home country "Shut up, you have no say, they are subject to our jurisdiction!"?
We wouldn't be getting people back from other countries either, would we? Because they were busted over there, "subject to their jurisdiction" in the same sense, right?

So here's a question. American Samoans are, in actual fact, not US citizens. They are "US Nationals." Whatever the heck that means.
They cannot vote in the US, but they don't pay federal taxes (through a grant of Congress, actually. They probably would prefer to pay federal taxes: they are lower than American Samoa territorial taxes!).
So can an American Samoan come to, say, Michigan and vote? If two American Samoan people have a kid in Missouri: what is the kid: a national, or a citizen? Can a US citizen who moves to Pago Pago vote in American Samoan elections?
Some of these questions apply to Guam and Puerto Rico too, but I think American Samoa is unique.
More to the point: why should a chinese baby born in San Fran international airport just outside the baggage claim have more rights than an American Samoan?

Since it’s getting close, time to lay a marker on how the birthright citizenship case will go.
John Roberts will hold that there is no guarantee of birthright citizenship in the constitution, BUT that the model for dealing with it is the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, which required an act of Congress. He will further hold that the Executive does not have the power to make a change through an EO only, but that this is an exclusively legislative power.
Amy Barrett and the 3 stooges will join in the ruling.

I’ve no illusions that the Court will hold with a plain reading of the 14th.
It isn’t even debatable really. Hell, the guy who wrote the Amendment explained this. Allowing for US Citizenship of illegal aliens is just legal fairy tale mumbo-jumbo by quacks, clowns wearing a robe And demanding Respect.
Some ideas are so stupid, only an intellectual could believe them. Or profess to, anyway. It’s more correctly a form of warfare. They have learned to profit from it, as well as destroy the existing political structure, so it is wildly popular.

Since it’s getting close, time to lay a marker on how the birthright citizenship case will go.
John Roberts will hold that there is no guarantee of birthright citizenship in the constitution, BUT that the model for dealing with it is the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, which required an act of Congress. He will further hold that the Executive does not have the power to make a change through an EO only, but that this is an exclusively legislative power.
Amy Barrett and the 3 stooges will join in the ruling.
Posted by: Tom Servo at June 29, 2026 05:44 PM
That was pretty much my thought when I said they will try to split the baby on their decision. Drop back and punt it back to congress to articulate a federal statute for anchor baby status based on the 14th amendment. As you noted they have done it before but they will most likely not do it this time.

Any changes made to immigration status in past have always been "from that point forward".
No Ex Post Facto laws.
In fact, in determining someone's citizenship or legal residency status, critical moments (when they were born + where, or where they resided at a given point in time) will be compared against the citizenship/immigration law at those times.

One of the facets of this that doesn't get enough play is that foreign intelligence agencies exploit this process incessantly. In 2010 ten Russian known spies entered this country and gave birth. However, they were never able to "groom" the child to get into a position to compromise because the pseudo-parents were found out and arrested.
Another case occurred in Virginia. The Valery/Smirnov Case: An undercover Russian couple living in Arlington, VA, operating as "Michael Zottoli" and "Patricia Mills". They had a 1 year old and a 3 year old at the time...but they were found out.
China has a system in place to do this, and the child grows up in China, but holds a US citizenship. When they become adults, the come here and infiltrate. Standard Chinese espionage procedure.

I made a new term:
Shitlibic Principle -
The proposition that the range of possible observations that could be made about the SCOTUS is limited by the fact that observations are only possible in the type of outcome that violent crazed shitlibs would inform observers of in the first place.

I've seen people mention this, ATC has on the twitters, but the absence of leaking from the commies that leak stuff they don't like in order to target justices for violence means they like the direction the SCOTUS discussions are going. If the commies didn't like the decision we would have already heard about it.

It's actually a smart read imo.
If the SC struck down birthright citizenship, 100% it would be leaked.

And here is exactly why SCOTUS will keep the status quo or write some convoluted mess that is, at best, a speed bump.
The amount of weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth to get their anchor-babies sanctioned. Do babies dropped by H1B temporary "workers" get their anchor baby blessed as US citizen? Every sob story and legal argument will be pitched endlessly and pushed by every Leftist into Olympic Levels of Emotional Extortion.

Except for the part when the government told them to cut down trees for firewood during the embargo in the early 90s and the idiot inhabitants cut down so much wood that the fertile soil all washed down the hills into the harbor. There are places there that look like desert due to deforestation.
As we said at the time, evacuate the population somewhere, mulch the top 3 feet of Haiti, plant trees, then send them all back after a few years to start over.

The US occupied Haiti from 1915-1934, 1994 and 2004. The Clintons occupied it after 2011. It still sucks epically
Posted by: Smell the Glove at June 29, 2026 05:49 PM
1994 wasn't really an occupation we just sort of let them empty the country out after the president was deposed. Whoever supported him made a mad scramble to get to the US in anything that could float. We were stationed at GITMO when the haitian boat lift happened. The Navy and Coast Guard brought over 15,000 smelly nasty haitains to GITMO that they had intercepted at sea.
We set up a tent city for them and they eventually were all able to go to the states on the taxpayers dime including the 1,500 of them that were HIV positive after a judge ruled they could no longer be held in "prison" just because they were hiv positive.

It really doesn't matter. China breached US databases ages ago. They don't even need to have an anchor baby, just add/modify records in the voting, SSI and other record databases.
Or simply bribe bureaucrats to make the child a citizen.
With nearly a dozen states refusing to show their election databases, its most likely that they are hiding a pattern of them doing this already.

It is. Ambiguities should not be resolved as "What the text allows" but also "What is in the country's interest for it to mean?"
And I mean "interest" in the old-fashioned way. Not "Well, it is in our 'interest' to be more touchy-feely country that our abstract ideals argue we should be." But what is arguably in America's best economic and logistical interest.
I'm not against aspirations, I'm just against them in the same way that the Constitution should not be a feel-good suicide pact sense. Unless we as a people have explicitly decided this is what we are going to do.

I'm doing a little better since Trump closed up the borders and started throwing people out.
I watched a video put out by CBP of stopping an obviously pregnant woman trying to enter on a tourist visa and lying about the advanced state of her pregnancy, determining that she didn't have enough money for a hospital visit, and sending her home.

Maybe. I heard they were going after him for money laundering and likely have the proof. I doubt Xi would turn him over to the US for prosecution, he's part of the team, but we might get irrefutable proof of foreign money funding a lot of anti-American stuff in the US like BLM.

My son is from Guatemala. We had to jump through a lot of hoops to bring him here, and it took a fair bit of paperwork, plus being fingerprinted twice, paying $300 in crisp $20 bills to the American Consulate in Guatemala for his visa, legally adopting him again in the US, and then the granting of his Certificate of Citizenship.
We are not allowed to make a copy of that Certificate--for some reason that is illegal. Neither will they issue another one if it is destroyed somehow.
He still doesn't have a passport, because they required that we send his Certificate THROUGH THE MAIL to Louisiana for some special asshat to review it to issue a passport. They just couldn't do that in Alaska, or Wisconsin for that matter. We said NO.
If he needs one in the future, he will just have to take it in person to Louisiana or risk losing his only proof of citizenship.
He is a citizen, but you couldn't tell that from these idiots.

We had a guy in the Navy that was adopted by US parents. I think he was canadian. This guy's family did not know they had to do paperwork after the adoption to make him a citizen and we only found out when they did a background check on him that he wasn't a US citizen. They filled out the papers and got it rushed through the state department so we didn't have to kick him out of the Navy.

If they meant to say that all persons born in the US were citizens, they would have just said that. Instead they added an additional qualification: "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
Most American Indians weren't citizens until the 1920's, despite having been born in the United States - they were citizens of the Sioux Nation or whatever.

Those of us who rightfully castigated the federal courts for making up new laws from the bench can't complain too much when the Supremes point out that the Constitution makes clear which branch of government has determinate authority for election law. It isn't the Executive Branch.
The SC is stating that if mail in ballots cannot be counted if received after polls close on election day, then election law must contain the specific language to make that happen. Congress must pass the the Save America bill to save America.

Trump (& SCOTUS), 2026: "Temporary means temporary, Haitians have to return home to their great, truly beautiful country."
However, Haitians in the United States hold legal presence through multiple separate and distinct immigration pathways, meaning they are not under just one blanket status. While many Haitian nationals were granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) , a significant number entered the country legally through the Humanitarian Parole program.These two programs operate under entirely different legal frameworks and requirements.
Most Afghans who arrived in the U.S. following the fall of Kabul in 2021 were admitted under Humanitarian Parole. While some individuals later obtained Temporary Protected Status (TPS), the Department of Homeland Security officially terminated the TPS designation for Afghanistan on July 14, 2025. AND...
Ukrainians are currently under both Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Humanitarian Parole, depending on how and when they arrived in the United States. These are two completely separate immigration programs.
They've all produced many children.
Then there are Dreamers. Michelle O addressed the issue in her speech at the Tower opening.

It's a bit more complicated than it sounds because there is no eyepiece to look through. You have to have a chain of electronic instruments working properly to bring an image up, to a screen.

Re 190: Since the lawsuit is about whether someone can show up with a kid, assert they were born here then vote in Colorado Elections without having been a resident, I'm going to guess they limit the scope of whether non-residents can vote in local elections, and asset that you have to be a Colorado resident to vote in Colorado elections.
They then punt on everything else involved in the case.

Another (Expected) Deadly Heat Wave Hits Europe, With Some Beginning to Doubt the Green Left's Dogmatic Opposition to Air Conditioning
How will they reverse their decades-old determination to let the elderly die in heat waves? As the BBC shows us: Simple! They'll now say that air conditioning is a sad but necessary response to global warming!Air conditioning creates political divide after France records hottest day With temperatures soaring, France is being forced to re-think its longstanding reservations about one possible answer to climate change: air-con. This week debate about la clim (climatisation) has once again burst out, with Marine Le Pen on the populist right urging a mass subsidised roll-out and traditionally hostile Greens conceding that some air-conditioning may now be inevitable. Currently the country has a low take-up, with only 25% of households equipped with an air-con unit. In Spain and Italy the figure is 50%, and in the US and Japan 90%. French hospitals and schools are also only rarely equipped. Thousands of schools have had to shut this week, and medical and nursing staff complain of conditions fast becoming intolerable. But with temperatures nudging 40C - Tuesday was France's hottest day on record - there has been a rush to buy portable air-conditioning appliances, just to let children enjoy a few hours in class, or for suffocating apartment-dwellers to make it through the night. And more and more, it seems, long-standing opponents of air-conditioning - mainly on the environmentalist left - recognise that it is bound to be part of the country's response to global warming. This week the head of the Ecologists party Marine Tondelier broke something of a taboo when she said that air-conditioning would be needed in schools and hospitals. "There are places where we just can't do without it now," she said. Her break with what she called "anti-clim dogma" is significant because until now the Green movement in France has regarded air-conditioning as the worst of solutions to climate change.Germany also doesn't have "air con" in hospitals, including in cardiac care units, where you'd think a hospital would want patients to be as stress-free as possible. In fact, in Germany, they're telling family members of heart attack victims to bring in their own ice-packs for patients recovering from a coronary.
They're limiting sales of alcohol to try to reduce the rates of heat-related hospitalizations:
Shoppers desperate to escape Europe's brutal heat wave stormed a French store for air conditioners and fans, shoving and scrambling for the last cooling units. The chaotic scenes unfolded this week at a store in Chambray-les-Tours, where dozens of people waited outside before rushing through the doors as the security shutter rolled open, according to The Sun. Footage on social media shows shoppers elbowing their way through the crowd and clambering over one another to snatch portable air conditioners and fans from the shelves.
Within seconds, the display had been stripped nearly bare. The buying frenzy comes as much of Western Europe swelters through a record-breaking heat wave that has pushed temperatures above 104 degrees Fahrenheit in parts of France, Spain, and neighboring countries. The extreme heat has already taken a deadly toll. French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari posted on X that at least 55 people have drowned across France as residents sought relief from the soaring temperatures in rivers, lakes and other waterways. Among the most heartbreaking cases was the death of a 3-year-old boy who became trapped inside a family car in Saint-Gratien, outside Paris, on Wednesday, authorities said. The child climbed into the vehicle after his father told him to take a nap, but the car's child-lock system engaged, trapping him inside as outside temperatures climbed above 85 degrees. He was discovered about 45 minutes later but could not be revived.
This is pure European neofeudalism: The EU commission wants to show that its doing its part to reduce "global warming" by turning off AC in part of the building. Specifically, the eight lower floors where the plebes work. The top seven floors where the elites work will have full AC:
"We are reaching a saturation point in hospital facilities," Paris police chief Patrice Faure said Thursday.
Pieter Cleppe
@pietercleppe The EU Commission in Brussels has shut off airco, but only for the lower floors, where the lower ranks work: "It's like feudalism," a Commission official working on a lower level of the Berlaymont, granted anonymity to speak freely, told POLITICO on Friday, referring to the fact that upper floors housing commissioners got to keep their AC on. A second official agreed it was a "disgrace."
The European Commission's headquarters was forced to shut down its air-conditioning system on Friday due to the heat wave. Staff working at the Berlaymont building received a text at midday, reading: "BERL -- URGENT -- Due to extreme weather conditions, forced shut down of air cooling system from floor 1 to 7 for the rest of the day." The 13-story building is home to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, her 26 commissioners and about 3,000 staff. Von der Leyen works on the 13th floor, and most of her commissioners' offices are housed on floors eight or above.

The labour government spokescreeps have literally come out and said that air conditioning is bad, because if people were comfortable and not dying of heat stroke, they would not buy into the global warming scam. That, plus several green party members made the point that without AC, many more people will die, and people dying is the prime goal of their party.

They only care if they can use it to attack the right.
Otherwise, they're happy to decrease the strain on their evil socialist healthcare systems. (See: Canada and ease of getting MAID vs. ease of getting a dr's appt.)

I want Ursula's elevator to stop and get stuck on the 7th floor, the doors open 2 inches and can't close or open any further, and have to sit in that humid, stank air for 8-12 hours as engineers struggle and fail to pry the doors open further or fix the elevator. Better yet, have 5-6 "Asian" men in the elevator with her, with their personal hygiene habits as well.

Swamp Cooler works fine in the desert.
Keeps it livable.
But in a swamp like Houston?
I still can't figure how folks settled the South without AC.

Swamp coolers can work very well in dry climates, although they can spread dangerous mold spores and other things that grow on the cooling pad.
Unfortunately, a lot of low education poor people in humid places have swamp coolers. They don't seem to understand it's a terrible solution for their humid location.

This week the head of the Ecologists party Marine Tondelier broke something of a taboo when she said that air-conditioning would be needed in schools and hospitals.
Which is long overdue. france has a surplus of electricity generation as they have a ton of nuclear plants. They have so much electricity they sell it to other EU countries and are the largest electricity exporter on the continent. It is stupid they have not embraced AC for at least their most vulnerable citizens.

There were posts noting heat rises hence the upper floors needing ac versus those super cool lower floors where the heat was escaping from. However, why was the 8th floor the point where the rising heat decided to do its dirty work? Why not the 4th? The 6th? Did someone run around with a temp gun and determine the point it became too much was the 8th floor and above?

In the older days, a similar situation would have everyone sleeping outside, or opening up windows like in the movie "Rear Window". In Chicago too many elderly were too afraid of crime to leave home or open up windows and died.
The next year or so an almost identical situation happened and the city was proactive in getting elderly free transport to malls and airconditioned areas and very few deaths were attributed to the heat.

There were posts noting heat rises hence the upper floors needing ac versus those super cool lower floors where the heat was escaping from. However, why was the 8th floor the point where the rising heat decided to do its dirty work? Why not the 4th? The 6th? Did someone run around with a temp gun and determine the point it became too much was the 8th floor and above?

You worked from first light to maybe noon and took a few hours off until the temp started dropping again (as late as 4-5pm).

You get more used to hot weather and adapt to it so its less awful. You stop doing stuff during the hottest part of the day (siesta!). You leave windows open all night when its cooler and shut them in the morning to try to keep it somewhat cooler inside. You sleep outdoors or on a breezeway porch when you can. You take trips to get out of town to the mountains or the beach for cooler air. You sprinkle the lawn and play in the sprinkler. You dress as cool as you can. You had fans all over to help move the air around so its a little cooler.
Like Axeman said, it sucked but you could make it.

Hot air rises...which makes no sense for that tyrantress to shut down AC for the first 7 floors.
I think this is the line that needed to be crossed for the revolutions to begin. Hundreds of thousands of World Cup fans, with their new love of the USA, will be returning to this insanity.
I can handle cold rooms but not hot rooms. I would die, too, without AC. The insanity of hospitals floors me. Schools without AC would lead to anarchy quickly.
UK demanding AC units be removed is just the start after being arrested for memes. I will be watching.
They found AC and freedom in the USA for our 250th Birthday. They found university football stadiums seating over 80k in air conditioning. They found free refills, Waffle House,Walmart and Bucees and ice in their drinks! The long hot days will exacerbate their homesickness for the USA.
This will not stand! Bangs sterling topped cane!
Slaps Starmer and gives him an iced coffee enema!

Europe is so beaten by the heat that they're willing to entertain embracing the unfashionable American preference for air-conditioning.
------
There are a number of reasons why Euros don't have near as much or as good A/C. But whatever is going on, it's an Article of European Faith that any deficiency is America's Fault, and it's also not a deficiency because it is Better Than How Those Louts Do It.
This is like saying "Here are the people embracing the unfashionable American preference for not having malaria." This shit ain't a choice, Pierre. If you Euros had the wherewithal to catch up to 1970s America, you'd be sitting in your nicely chilled pied-a-terre, sipping wine and dick, and ruminating on how A/C was actually a French idea in the first place.

Eh, we're pretty adaptable. You spend just a marginal period of time in a place that is HOT, or the opposite COLD, and you adjust. It took me about 3 winters when I returned to the Mid-Atlantic states from northern New England to start wearing winter coats again.
The worst times are the transition..late spring to early summer. But after that people adjust and the Summer heat is an afterthought. Extreme events are an inconvenience, but rarely life threatening unless you do something stupid.
BTW, those of you without AC....get a window fan (one that slides into the sill slot. It does two things...improves air circulation, and will pull in cooler night air in the evening. Also, use your ceiling fans in the winter, not the summer. Hot air rises...it just blows it down to you in the summer.. You use the ceiling fans in the winter.

The extreme heat has already taken a deadly toll.
French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari posted on X that at least 55 people have drowned across France as residents sought relief from the soaring temperatures in rivers, lakes and other waterways.
I take it that "Drowning Due to Swimming to Cool Down" is now a sport in France?
Why they don't they have the Minister for Climate Change on webcam from his air-conditioned office and ask him about the topic?

111> Hasn't read "Cool How air conditioning changed everything" by Salvatore Basile
Sweating and stinking was such a virtue and status marker that when Willis Carrier's first "air conditioner" was formed specifically to act as a dehumidfier, it never occurred to anyone that mechanically cooled air could be something to desire.
In fact, ice vendors rallied against mechanical cooling because they saw it as a threat to their business model.
The Amish condemned even the fan because of Amos 4:13 "He [God]...who creates the wind..." meant that it was only God's domain to make a breeze.

My grandmother's house (where we had an apt for my first 10yrs) had 14' ceilings with transom windows in each room to catch breezes. Under the shade of giant oak trees it was not too bad. I guess there were fans as I don't remember.
My grandfather decided before I was born that I would never have to suffer without AC and installed a window unit in my nursery.
The only other time I was without AC was in college and as a newlywed in the Intermountain West with 100yr old houses. When I was hugely preggers with #1, my husband got a window unit for our bedroom that summer or he probably never would have slept at all.
I don't even care if AC is the cause of "climate change" and my fault! Take that, Greta, how dare you?

Some mewling French functionary says the US bears significant blame for the heat wave.
So I wonder: how long does carbon dioxide remain in the atmosphere to cause heat waves that make mewling French functionaries mew? I've seen things that say that half is absorbed by the ocean or vegetation in 20-30 years. So, because our output is declining and lots of what we generated is no longer around, shouldn't he be blaming the heathen Chinee, who pump out more than three times as much?

BTW, those of you without AC....get a window fan (one that slides into the sill slot. It does two things...improves air circulation, and will pull in cooler night air in the evening. Also, use your ceiling fans in the winter, not the summer. Hot air rises...it just blows it down to you in the summer.. You use the ceiling fans in the winter.
Posted by: Orson at June
Fans cool people, not rooms. So use that ceiling fan, going in the right direction, when you are on the room during summer.

I will give credit where due for Europe: there are not a lot of bugs to fly in open windows without screens. Odd that I noticed this but I did.
I also cannot survive without screens on windows. And out West it isn't as bad as the farm. If you did not have screens you'd die from a bug bite disease before lack of AC.
I feel really sad for the fans of the World Cup going back to the UK and Europe from our beautiful air conditioned country. With AC in our big cars and trucks.
They can bite me.

One map was current and one was from something like 10 years ago. The temperatures were almost identical from the 2 different times all over the map but the graphics were a tad different. The older map just had the numbers with slight indicators of heat. The recent one was blood red all over.
European media is at least as bad as ours.

True, we didn't have A/C in our apartment until I was about twelve. And there wasn't any in my classrooms until I got to college. Somehow we survived Sept.-Nov., and March-May, without cooling: windows open, fans I think in the upper windows in the cafeteria and gym, etc. The music rooms, the band and the vocal music classes, had air, but that was probably to keep the instruments from rotting in damp heat.
But I don't think we had anything like 104 F. in actual temps then. With heat index, sure, but not the base temp.

People in Europe freak out when it hits 90F.
It's at around 100F with this wave, and I'm sure that's with the humidity.
That's no different than here in where the temps were getting to 97 and a heat index of 100+.
That's why we have AC.
If they want to sweat it out and lose a few eggs for the Climate omelette to appease Gaia, then I say go for it.

One thing I like about the small apartment we live in currently, is that the temperature is cooler than the outdoors in summer, and warmer in the winter. Last summer we turned on the AC twice or thrice, and for only a couple hours at a time. We get a lot of indirect sunlight, but not much direct.

Another factor in Euro air conditioners is the cost for them. Europeans are on the whole poorer than the USA, plus their energy prices are outrageous. And, in some places (like England) they add a surcharge if you have air conditioning. So its hella expensive not only to buy one, but run one.

My obituary in the UK would read:

They killed her before she dumped boiling oil on them, which was the plan. Said to tell you her violent death was totally worth it and she chose this as her hill to die on."
Also, Paris must really be a stink hellscape this summer. We rode a train in early June from Paris to Salzburg and two moose slimes were nearby. They don't wear deodorant, ever. Neither to many Europeans. Pee You!

Innovations like direct-to-chip and immersion liquid cooling can eliminate traditional water cooling altogether in favorable climates.
Many modern data centers now partner with local municipalities to use recycled, non-potable wastewater for their cooling operations instead of drawing from drinking water supplies.
Facilities in drought-prone areas are moving toward dry cooling towers and closed-loop systems to minimize evaporation, though this often comes with a trade-off of higher electricity usage.

Germany also doesn't have "air con" in hospitals, including in cardiac care units, where you'd think a hospital would want patients to be as stress-free as possible.
In fact, in Germany, they're telling family members of heart attack victims to bring in their own ice-packs for patients recovering from a coronary.
-----------------
I would not live in Germany if you paid me. What is even worse is that they, like the EU bosses in Brussels, are hypocrites. I was in Berlin in August 2024 and the hotel I stayed at was air conditioned. This tells me that they know tourists and visitors will not stand for un-airconditioned hotels but their schweinherds deserve no better.

Here is another gotcha the British Subjects have to deal with if they think they can escape the heat in their cars....
Vehicle Air Conditioning Fines:
While there is no fine for excessive home use, you can face a surcharge/fine for using air conditioning in a stationary car. Under UK emissions laws, leaving your car engine running while parked just to keep the AC on is considered unnecessary engine idling.

But I don't think we had anything like 104 F. in actual temps then. With heat index, sure, but not the base temp.

My Brother just turned 70 last weekend... Mom used to tell the story that on his birthday it was hottest day she could remember, at 114.
Funny, just went and tried to look at the historic online Temp records for my town... and from what I remember, they are not correct... not even close.

254 Seriously... 50 years.
It's been 50 years since central air was de riguer in American new builds.
Joe Biden was a new Senator when America kicked back and cooled down.
The drip coffeemaker had just debuted on the market courtesy if Mr. Coffee, so it was around this time we passed them up on the coffee front, too.

My parents built their house in 1964 and had central AC.
Over 60yrs.
I doubt many in the UK or Europe can fathom central AC. How are you going to remove that, beetches? Turn off my power? Try harder.

The US has AC in 90% of its houses. It's 91% in Japan and 86% in Korea. Guess who gets all the blame?
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at June 29, 2026 05:15 PM (O0L8i)

Is that really true, that 90% of homes here have a/c? I would have guessed far fewer. In the New England town where my husband is from, no one we know has it. As a kid we lived in both Northern and Southern California and neither house had it. My brother and his family live outside L.A. and don't have it. My other brother lives outside Seattle and they don't have it.
Or does the 90% include room-size a/cs? Maybe that's it.

People focus on the cool part of using AC for us old folks, but the other big benefit is pollen-free filtered air; a lot of us develop sinus and pollen allergies as we hit our 60's.
I used to be Mr Windows Open in nice weather, but now they stay closed all year just to keep the air dust and pollen free. Just another reason to thank the ancestors that yeeted themselves out of Ye Olde Country.

I think the real reason the eurotrash are opposed to AC is their power grid won’t handle it. AC is a power hog eating big watts and big volts.
Yes, they have lotsa EV charging stations, but those are strategically located. That’s not the same as 10s of millions of europoean firing up AC wherever they may live.

That cooling ocean only helps with some breezes occasionally.
Mostly what it offers is a hella lot of moisture from the Gulf Stream spreads out to the Appalachians and gets stuck here.
If you live right on the coast it's nicer.
Further inland it's moist and hot.
Posted by: SpeakingOf at June 29, 2026 05:16 PM (6ydKt)
Prevailing winds come from the inland in the US, so the Gulf stream is not hugely important in weather here. Now, it certainly keeps Europe from being Permafrost, seeing how it is so far North.
I'm sure you can have 'reverse flow' at times like Chicago with its Lake Effect snows.

I was in Berlin in August 2024 and the hotel I stayed at was air conditioned. This tells me that they know tourists and visitors will not stand for un-airconditioned hotels but their schweinherds deserve no better.

But you had to have your key in the holder to turn it on (and the lights) so you couldn’t keep it comfortable while you were gone, though, right? I don’t think I have ever been in a hotel in Europe without that. Older ones, maybe.

Increased urbanization does make the area of the city warmer than the ambient country around it, but there were plenty of 100 degree days in the country before they started mucking with the measurements. That's what the 'heat waves' were. 90 degrees in August is just normal in flyover country.

But you had to have your key in the holder to turn it on (and the lights) so you couldn’t keep it comfortable while you were gone, though, right? I don’t think I have ever been in a hotel in Europe without that. Older ones, maybe.

Depends on the hotel. I’ve never had that problems, but I’ve booked any hotel or Airbnb anywhere that doesn’t have central air. And I never travel anywhere during the hot seasons.
I spent too much time traveling for business all around the deep south, and hot humid places like Japan, in the summer heat. I had no choice. I was paid to do it. But for personal travel? Nah.

If a swamp cooler would work nicely and make the air comfortable, that's an official "dry heat". :-)
Meanwhile, a wet heat here. Dew point hit 81F on my little weather station earlier today, right after a little shower.

I'm currently sitting outside, by choice! in 90 degrees with 53% humidity. If I'm sitting still, I'm perfectly comfortable. The AC inside was getting too cold for me. It'll feel good again after I sit out here for a while.
Unbelievable that hospitals and schools other public buildings don't have AC in Europe. Aren't they all nuclear powered anyway? Surely they could pump it up a little.

American hospitals are DOPE AF.
==============
You'd want to rent a room in them. One hospital near me has a giant lounge with a picture gallery and giant leatherette couches specifically for crashing on. I was visiting someone post-op, and a music student from a local high school came in and played some flute pieces for her. It had a pullout couch in the room so a visitor could doze or even in some cases spend the night. The food was great. A dietician came in and planned her meals with her personally. A physical therapist came in and kindly walked her around the floor.

Increased urbanization does make the area of the city warmer than the ambient country around it, but there were plenty of 100 degree days in the country before they started mucking with the measurements. That's what the 'heat waves' were. 90 degrees in August is just normal in flyover country.

>> Right now it's 85 degrees and 17% humidity.
Just ran the numbers on that with an online psychrometric calculator thingy. That comes out to dew point of 35F and a wet bulb temp of 58F.
Theoretically, the wet bulb is how low a swamp cooler could lower the temp. Of course, it can't reach that low efficiently (and you wouldn't want 100% air anyway). But that shows under those conditions a swamp cooler would work like a charm.

JD Vance Appears on Bill Maher
Before that: Anderson Cooper, who was almost certainly about to be let go by Bari Weiss for being an expensive semen-hued Nepo Boomer who contributes nothing to the network, now lets it leak that he doesn't want to work for the Jew anyway.
And I don't mean that he doesn't want to work for Weiss at 60 Minutes, which is already a fait accompli. He already didn't sign a renewed contract, probably after Weiss offered him a lowball, "I want you to reject this" kind of offer. I mean he says he wants to leave CNN, too. Which is also probably a fait accompli.CNN star Anderson Cooper has privately told colleagues he does not want to work for CBS News boss Bari Weiss if she is ultimately put in charge of the cable network following Paramount Skydance's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, according to a report. Cooper has made his feelings known internally as Paramount chief executive David Ellison weighs whether to give Weiss oversight of both CBS News and CNN once the roughly $111 billion merger closes, the New York Times reported. Cooper's reported opposition comes as other top CNN figures are also signaling resistance to a potential Weiss-led future. According to the Times, CNN chief executive Mark Thompson has told Paramount officials he will not share oversight of the network with another executive, while longtime anchor Jake Tapper recently met with Ellison in Los Angeles. The Times said it was not known what the two men discussed.What they almost certainly discussed is the fact that they're making $3-7 million per year to deliver moderate YouTube-level ratings, and how they could either reduce that salary or increase those ratings.
The report says Ellison remains supportive of Weiss despite months of upheaval at CBS News, where she has overseen a sweeping overhaul of the news division since taking over as editor-in-chief last year. One option under consideration would pair Weiss with a seasoned television executive responsible for the operational and financial side of the combined news organizations while she retained editorial oversight, according to the Times. ... Not long afterward, Cooper also chose not to renew his contract with "60 Minutes," ending a nearly two-decade run as a correspondent for the iconic newsmagazine while remaining at CNN.Now on to Bill Maher: Maher made the claim that Trump hadn't done anything about Iran's nuclear program. Now, I'm very dissatisfied with Trump's jerky prosecution of this non-war, but I'd never say he did nothing about Iran's nuke program. When Vance challenged him on this daffy claim, Maher resorted to typical shitlib CNN talking points that because Trump had not sent in ground troops to seize "the dust" (the buried radioactive residuum of Iran's nuke program), this means that Trump had effectively done nothing at all and Iran's nuke program was still at full force. What a stupid, hackish, stupid (it's stupid doubly) thing to say.
Vice President JD Vance argued during an interview with Bill Maher Friday that "America wins" even if Iran refuses to sign a deal that would end the war. "If we don't make the final deal, their nuclear program is still destroyed, they're still much weaker as a country," Vance said during his appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher." "So my attitude is America wins either way," he added. Vance noted that President Trump tasked US negotiators with "something that frankly, nobody in 47 years of dealing with the Iranians has done, which is offer them an opportunity to fundamentally transform how they behave with the West." "If they're willing to change, we're willing to change, too," the vice president said, adding, "If they're not willing to change, we still fundamentally have all the cards. "I think it's a good place for us to be." The 41-year-old veep jetted off to Switzerland last weekend for high-stakes meetings with Iranian representatives mediated by Pakistani and Qatari officials. During his face-to-face remarks with Tehran's top negotiators last Sunday, Vance declared the Trump administration's goal was to "transform our relationship" with Iran.Of course, Iran once again fired on a ship in the strait. As anyone not part of the Trump Administration said they would.
"What the president has asked us to do is turn over a new leaf to transform our relationship with the people of Iran, and to extend an outstretched hand that says to the people of Iran that if your leadership is willing to give up being a driver of regional instability," Vance said. "If they are willing to give up nuclear weapons ambitions for the long term, then the United States is willing to fundamentally transform our relationship with that country," he went on. "That is certainly our goal."
Not that I care about Bill Maher, but he did say that the left's headlong embrace of communism, Third Worldism, Hamas-ism, and antisemitism might make him vote Republican in 2028.
The MOU between President Trump and Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian was meant to stop fighting and kick off 60 days of talks for a grand deal to end Tehran's nuclear program. On Friday, hours before Vance's sit-down with Maher, Trump claimed Iran had violated the cease-fire after an Iranian drone struck Singaporean-flagged ship M/V Ever Lovely. The attack came after Iran warned vessels to ignore a US-approved shipping lane through the Strait of Hormuz, along the Omani coast, instead hoping for the ships to use a passage of their choosing. Following the "foolish violation," US forces conducted military strikes in Iran, targeting Iranian drone storage facilities and coastal radar sites. On Saturday, Iran claimed it had struck targets linked to the US in response to Friday's strikes but didn't identify the targets, according to Reuters.
OvertonMaher of course had to virtue signal about he and his fellow liberals are completely honorable about accepting the results of elections and demanded to know why Trump and Vance won't "concede" the 2020 election.
@overton_news Jun 27 WHOA: Bill Maher looks JD Vance dead in the eye and says his "vote is in play" for 2028. Maher openly admitted to Vance that if socialists take over the Democratic Party, he's likely voting for him or Rubio. MAHER: "Like, if this is where the Democratic Party is going, where this Democratic socialist, this obsession with Israel, with the Jew hating, they don't believe in capitalism, no prisons..." "If this is where they're going, my vote is in play." VANCE: "Okay, I like to hear that." MAHER: "It actually always has been. Every year, I don't make my decision by who has an R or a D, I actually always came to the conclusion that the Democrat was probably better and voted for them." "And Trump can't run again and he'd be a little too exciting for me anyway." "So it's either going to be you or Rubio."

Bill Maher: "Can you tell me you will do that? Will you bring us back to the middle at least on that, where we concede elections, where it's not either one of those two options?" Vice President JD Vance: "So this is where I'm probably going to lose you here." Bill Maher: "That happened about eight minutes ago." Vice President JD Vance: "I don't think that we should not concede elections, but I don't think that's what's going on... The president and I have talked a lot about this." "Is it true that large technology companies, some of whom have financial interests that exist outside the United States of America, were they censoring information in the run-up to an election?" "The biggest criticism I had of the 2020 election is that you had technology companies that were quite literally censoring negative information about the left and promoting negative information about the right." "If the First Amendment says we have a free and open debate and the American people judge on that free and open debate, the sense in which I think the election in 2020 was rigged, I'm sorry, is that you had technology companies that were putting their thumb on the scale in a way that completely obliterated the real open exchange of ideas."
In 2017, Maher vigorously agreed with special guest Keith Olberman that Trump was an "illegitimate" president and only in office due to Russian interference.
Bill Maher told JD Vance that the right has to stop claiming that an election (2020) was illegitimate because they lost.

Vice President JD Vance argued during an interview with Bill Maher Friday that "America wins" even if Iran refuses to sign a deal that would end the war.
"If we don't make the final deal, their nuclear program is still destroyed, they're still much weaker as a country," Vance said during his appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher."
"So my attitude is America wins either way," he added.
Well, then he's nothing but a stupid poopyhead too!

His appearance was kind of a mix, mostly good from what I saw. I like how Bill Maher said "why is it guys like you will come on my show and get beat up but guys on my side won't?"
I do not see JD Vance as MAGA, I think he's a lot more Republican than populist but he seems a lot better than most of the people we've been offered as presidential candidates in the past.
I know people really like Rubio but he's NOT presidential material, he's soft, he's malleable. He can accomplish a lot if he's properly led but he is not a leader.

JD is very quick on his feet.
He's very good at blowing up the media's framing of things.
Regarding the rest of it, I think everyone in the Trump Administration knows Iran aims to misbehave and not in the sexy Summer Glau/Morena Baccarin kind of way.
Trump's made a show several times now of doing what Democrats claim he should do even though everyone knows it'll fail and not because of him. Once it's failed in 4K for everyone to see, he then can claim he tried and do what he actually wanted. I think there's a lot of that in play with Iran, combined with "gas needs to stay cheap until November".

I bumped into Bill Maher years ago on South Street in Philly. I was in a bar that comedians would go to after they did their sets down the street at the comedy club. It was a tiny place and I had the pleasure of having a very cool conversation with David Brenner (another comedian...look him up). I remember to this day, we were talking about Hot Air Balloons, and how they were suicidal. In walks Bill Maher (who is just a bit taller than your standard garden gnome). Maher makes a point to shout out to Brenner (who was big at the time)...said something I don't recall, and moved away. Brenner turns to me and deadpan says. "He's be the biggest asshole on the planet if he was taller."

Vance was wrong though, he claimed no fraud in 2024, and it was huge. Once they figured out they couldn't come up with enough fraud to defeat Trump, they went into overtime to diminish the 20+ million popular vote win.

So if Trump wasn't the president in 2020, but was again in 2024, why does it matter whether he believes the election was stolen?
Why is it so important to have people concede what they do not believe?

Dual Citizenship (a Clinton thing, IIRC), was always a bad idea. How can you be loyal to two countries if a war were ever to erupt between the two of them?
Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at June 29, 2026 02:46 PM (l3cgK)
Like Affirmative Action in college admissions, dual citizenship is bad for those who receive it. In the former case, they end up struggling with an elite program they were not really equipped for, instead of succeeding in a lesser one. In the latter, they feed narratives of divided loyalties.
Robert Stacy McCain specifically avoided learning the banjo, since he knew the stereotypes of Southerners. (Also because girls like guitars.) Similarly, I think it would behoove American Jews to avoid things like dual citizenship or the various forms of anti-White, pro-degen activism. There will always be haters, but there's no need to play into the prejudice.

Now you are catching on. This isn’t about the US or Iran being non-agreement capable. It’s about the US negotiating with the factions in Iran that want to emerge and the other factions who don’t want the conflict to end.
So, you sign an agreement which triggers a response from some IRGC dickhead (remember Mosaic???!!!)… the US cries foul, bombs the shit out of the assets that lit up. The “Iranians” go through the motions of being pissed off…
And then the shelling stops. They both agree to talks again, cross another IRGC/London/Paris redline…

I think that the enriched uranium is in gas form...Uranium Hexaflouride. Although I think it can be a solid too....
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at June 29, 2026 03:29 PM
In nuclear weapons uranium is a solid at least from what I have read. uranium hexaflouride is the gas they use to enrich uranium.
Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at June 29, 2026 03:32 PM (0N4FZ)
Yes - once enriched you'd want it in an oxide powder form or as metallic U so you don't have it leaking your expensive nuclear material through the ventilation.

Maher in 20 months: I'll admit I was skeptical of Mr. Pot but these Republicans are just so extreme. A lot of this socialism and Israel stuff is a natural reaction to Donald Trump. He broke politics.
Besides Mr. Pot does have some good ideas. And you can't ignore the chanting crowds. They bring a lot of energy. I mean, do I vote for someone I disagree with 1% of the time, or someone I disagree with 50% of the time. It's an easy choice!

It’s hard to keep a fortune for a family like the Vanderbilts when the thing that created all the money doesn’t really generate money anymore.
Not much money in steamships today. Lol. And while railroads are still a thing, it’s nothing close to what it was in the late 1800s.
Even investing well eventually the money runs out as it has to be split among an ever growing number of people, generation after generation.

Not that I care about Bill Maher, but he did say that the left's headlong embrace of communism, Third Worldism, Hamas-ism, and antisemitism might make him vote Republican in 2028.
Maher is lying through his teeth. He's going to pull a Camille Paglia, spending the whole election season saying nice things about the GOP candidate while rhetorically curb-stomping the Donk for being a commie cocksucker. Then throwing away his vote on the Green Party candidate because ewwwww, Republicans have cooties.

Lot of it is locked up in trust funds and foundations which in turn employ the spawn if they want a make believe job. One trick is to have large life insurance policies on the ancestors that pay off to the juniors when the ancestors shuffle off the human coil. That means tax free passage of assets.
The rich are not like you or I and whatever tax schemes are developed by greedy leftists, the rich will avoid them--ultimately by leaving if they have too. All those laws then inevitably hit the real target, the middle and upper classes who are the real targets for leftists--the bougies.

"If they're willing to change" is indeed a doubly stupid thing to say, and incidentally, the vice president's voice is loudest in the administration repeatedly assuring (misleading) the public that iran's leadership has been lately reformed with trustworthy actors.
i suppose i understand the political implications for the midterms, but i don't think a day has gone by since the publication of the MoU in which iran has not either itself or via proxies blatantly violated its terms.
these are not the people to whom we should be paying $300B for "reinvestment in american farmers".

More accurately, Maher sees that the bottom might drop out of his ratings if he seems too extreme by toeing the increasingly communist Democrat party line.

Assuming a 24-can case, and assuming that the only cans of beer he now has are the remainder of the original 5 cases, he has 3.5 cases --> 72+12 = 84 cans of beer left. But this is math and therefore verboten.

Maher is lying through his teeth. He's going to pull a Camille Paglia, spending the whole election season saying nice things about the GOP candidate while rhetorically curb-stomping the Donk for being a commie cocksucker. Then throwing away his vote on the Green Party candidate because ewwwww, Republicans have cooties.
Posted by: IllTemperedCur
======
At the end of the day, in the voting booth, it is hard for perverts who have adopted that as an identity--Maher as manwhore and Paglia as a professional lesbian, to go against their past history of voting for big D to stick it to the Christians. These are people that grew up as oppositionists to their belief they were oppressed by Christians and thus cannot escape their own pasts that are rebuked in the Scriptures.

Regarding Iran, I think that VP Vance was given point for two reasons, and only one of them is because as Trump's right-hand man, he has a form of legitimacy in that primitive part of the world that a 'mere' Secretary of State does not. They don't even respect bureaucratic functionaries as much as Latin Americans do, let alone as much as Europeans do.
The other reason (which follows directly from the first) is that Vance can do the Trump dance, saying one thing while doing another, in a way that Rubio cannot. As a leader, the VP can talk sweet while barraging them with missiles, or make incendiary statements while the ships move (or don't) like everything's normal. As a diplomat, the SoS's legitimacy with all the *other* countries in the world depends on his perceived consistency.
So, my hypothesis is that Trump's strategy to avoid having his last two years hampered by performative 'impeachments' and 'investigations' is to keep gas prices low by out-crazying the Mad Mullahs through the midterms, keeping them constantly off-balance without ever teetering into outright war.

Daveigh Chase the child actress who died a bit ago died from AIDS. Don't see people dying of AIDS much anymore
I remember Premier Magazine used to run a special every year naming all the people who died of AIDS in the entertainment industry. They stopped doing it after a while as people noticed that nearly all the names were in particular heavily-homosexual industries like makeup and hair.

It just hit me.
Maher is virtue-signaling to both sides now.
He "never" votes R or D, it just so happens the the "best candidate" turns out to be D.
And he always had people "from his side" going on his program when he was countable as a sounding board and echo chamber for the Democratic party.
If Dems stopped coming on his show, guess why, Bill?

But the USN controls the strait. And they know it. 90 percent of the leverage they might have had is gone since the last set of negotiations when most of the backlogged cargo was sent out and oil prices dropped significantly.

And ships are docking and leaving from the Arab Gulf states but none are much daring other than the Iranian shadow fleet to go to Kharg Island and load up. The drop in oil prices is making it worse.

45-year-old man of Turkish descent opened fire at a facility for pregnant women and young mothers near Hamburg. All 6 victims were employees. Several others hospitalized.
Suspect is in custody. Motive: domestic violence.
I figured it would be something like that. I didn't know he was going to be Turkish and was a little worried it might be a neonazi.
Either way, he's a scumbag and should be deported back home (which is hell)

I honestly haven't cared for anything Maher says since his prime days in the 2000s & 10s.
That he's finally realizing what time it is doesn't change my opinion of his elitist & arrogant form of leftism one bit.

The IRGC believe they are winning. They have a bargaining chip they never thought they had before- controlling the strait. Their Chinese and Russian benefactors are telling them the same thing. That is, as they rearm them and they keep rebuilding everything we bomb. After our latest bombing they went right back to telling ships they need IRGC permission to sail the strait. They won’t stop until we crush them once and for all.

Uh they closed the straits back in 87-88 and we had to go in and escort reflagged tankers through the straits. I was there on the Midway. They mined everything and the Samuel Roberts frigate hit an iranian mine and was severely damaged. We blew up everything that floated that iran sent out after us. We called it the tanker wars, closing the strait is nothing new for iran.

As far as Iran firing on a tanker...
What the press and others seem not to mention is that Iran has lost two complete sets of leadership, is devoid of an air force and navy and is in total economic collapse. This doesn't tend give a country a cohesive chain of command and leaves opportunities for hard-core Islamic Guard unit leaders to try to influence the negotiations or destroy them completely. Elements of the Iranian Army, the business elite and even some more rational Islamic Guard people are coming around to the US point of view, but there are those who would rather die than surrender.

And the non-gay deaths were mostly intravenous drugs, the low-down and anal. It's not like 37% were from blood transfusions of otherwise healthy normal people.

Here's a response to "I didn't leave the Democrats, the Democrats left me."
That implies that if they just backed the train up a little bit, you'd hop right back on board.
So all the stuff before that, that stuff that inevitably lead to them "going too far," you were fine with that.
So, it's not that you think through your political positions, it's only when your personal boundaries are crossed.
Like, "gay marriage is ok" but "forcibly sterilizing children" is where you get off the train.
But if they just back up to "bake the cake" you'll get back on board.
And when it chugs ahead back toward the inevitable "forcible sterilization of children" will you get off the train?
No.

Supreme Court rejects Trump's bid to overturn E. Jean Carroll verdict
why
---
Because the Rules must be followed even when the rules are killing this country.
The Rule being, jury verdicts are never over-turned without Other reasons.
Even if the whole law was made up, the jury was grossly biased, the whole process corrupt--don't touch jury verdicts.*
Plus, I think maybe Trump had a bad argument. That him was Presidentin' and was too busy for all that.
IDK, maybe he has another bite at that apple.
* If Trump's DEI Score was higher, of course it'd be overturned.

This doesn't tend give a country a cohesive chain of command and leaves opportunities for hard-core Islamic Guard unit leaders to try to influence the negotiations or destroy them completely. Elements of the Iranian Army, the business elite and even some more rational Islamic Guard people are coming around to the US point of view, but there are those who would rather die than surrender.

Homosexuality is about as controllable as crazed monkey sex. It is the mark of adulthood to be able to control your sexual desire by behaving honorably (i.e. keeping it in your pants) but the homosexuals don't believe they can do that.
Stunted emotional and social skills are the clear mark of those who don't really know what their penises are for.

The worry in the back of my mind is that the Iranians have had two decades or more to enrich the uranium to weapons grade, and that it’s possible they had some quantity squirreled away that very few people know about. Their only hold-up being ICBMs to deliver them to us.
I've seen no real indication that it’s true, so it’s still just a tiny “what if?” at the moment.

I once visited Hippie Hollow in Austin, TX, a notorious location on the lake for people to walk around starkers. I saw a guy jogging nude and can attest to your statement above. "Helicopter" is the word that came to mind.

Homosexuals had enormous political power in San Francisco.
Public Health, epidemiology, was no match against psycho faggotry. Thus a buggery epidemic ensued. They simultaneously claimed AIDS didn’t exist, AND, they purposefully tried to acquire.
California notably decriminalized the purposeful transmission of a deadly communicable venereal disease, as well as blood donations from infected patients.
Nice, huh?

Homosexuality is about as controllable as crazed monkey sex. It is the mark of adulthood to be able to control your sexual desire by behaving honorably (i.e. keeping it in your pants) but the homosexuals don't believe they can do that.
Stunted emotional and social skills are the clear mark of those who don't really know what their penises are for.

But that's what we did when we made the practice equal to the predilection and just as protected as it.
I argued frequently that the progs were trying to bootstrap the "unequal protection against being treated differently" into the 14th amendment, to slowly merge "equal protection" into "equal treatment" as long as you could get a judge to buy that "X is a choice roughly equivalent to Y", and if decision X doesn't get the treatment equal to decision Y, you have failed "equal protection" to treat putative "like" decisions as equal.

Exactly like the government in germany in April 1945. The ss and gestapo were willing to die to the last man and were going around executing people for "defeatism" during the seige of berlin while the regular army was retreating in the east as fast as they could so they could surrender to the Americans or Brits and avoid capture by the soviets. Literally no one was in control during the final months of germany at the end of WWII not even mister hilter.

That's a good analogy. If westerners want to understand the IRGC's relationship to the Regular Army, and its function inside Iran, it is almost exactly analogous to the relationship between the SS and the Wehrmacht. Maybe even a bit more extreme, since the Iranian Artesh (regular army) appears to be defensive only, and is very much the poor stepchild in their system.

Other than doing it to poke a finger in the eyes of normies I never got the point. Do gays even get married anymore? I know it was a thing in the 2010s as a virtue signal. But now 10+ years on does anyone even care anymore. Seems like a lot of legal entanglements for no positive benefits.

It's the new math. The media will pound us over the head with that 1%, but rarely regurgitate the actual polls on the issue. And even then 1% of 2 Billion is 20,000,000 bad eggs.

Nobody, nobody, nobody--even His Holiness Obama--could make a good deal with Iran. Because they are insane fanatics. So yes, we have all the cards, the best one being that Trump & Co. understand the nature of the enemy.

As far as "a war with London" goes, the English only have influence in the ME, and not a determinative voice. Their influence is a historical artifact, sure, and also a function of how much ME money floats around London at any given moment (just look at who is in the fanciest cars and walking in and out of the most expensive shops).
But once you expand your thinking to include MI6 extreme interference with both the first Trump presidency and the 2020 election... now, there's something to talk about.

Nine Democrat-Led States, Plus Vermont, Refuse to Send any Delegation to the Nation's 250th Anniversary "National State Fair"
Julia 🇺🇸
@Jules31415 10 states--Connecticut, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Pennsylvania--have confirmed they will not send an official delegation to the "Great American State Fair" on the National Mall in celebration of America's 250th. 9 of the states are led by Democratic governors, with Vermont being the only Republican-governed state to decline involvement so far. Notably, PA Gov. Josh Shapiro tops the list of highest paid governors.
It's the countdown to the nation's 250th anniversary, but it doesn't feel like it. The left is doing a good job of what it always does, ruining things with their endless, insatiable hatred and drive to destroy. Here's some of what Wikipedia has to say about the bicentennial celebrations of 1976:
1976 events 1976 festivities included elaborate fireworks in the skies above major US cities. President Ford presided over the display in Washington, D.C., which was televised nationally. Celebrations in cities and towns across the nation opened into full effect including celebrations such as Operation Sail (Op Sail), a large international fleet parade of tall-masted sailing ships gathering first in New York City on Independence Day and then in Boston about one week later. Other large-scale events, such as reenactments, parades, and booms in commercialized commemoration, spread across the nation as the year went on.Trump is trying to do something with this National State Fair concept but the left is boycotting as usual. Poll: Most Democrats want to leave the US but unfortunately they're all lazy and incapable of doing any of the things they say they want t o do.
New York In addition to the presence of the 'tall ships', navies of many nations sent warships to New York harbor for an International Naval Review held the morning of July 4. President Ford sailed down the Hudson River into New York harbor aboard the guided missile cruiser USS Wainwright to review the international fleet and receive salutes from each visiting ship, ending with a salute from the Royal Navy guided-missile destroyer HMS London. The review ended just above Liberty Island at around 10:30 am. Washington, D.C. Johnny Cash served as the Grand Marshal of the US Bicentennial parade.[24] The event was attended by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. The royal couple made a state visit to the United States, toured the country, and attended other Bicentennial functions with President and Mrs. Ford. Their visit aboard the British royal yacht HMY Britannia included stops in Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Virginia, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The Smithsonian Institution opened a long-term exhibition in its Arts and Industries Building replicating the look and feel of the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, including artifacts from earlier exposition. The Bicentennial Festival of American Folklife, a collaboration of the Smithsonian with thousands of national and international scholars, folk artisans, and performers, hosted programs in the western part of the National Mall five days a week for twelve weeks in the summer of 1976.[25] The Smithsonian also opened the new home of the National Air and Space Museum on July 1, 1976.[26] Government celebration
George Washington was posthumously appointed to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States by the congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 passed January 19, 1976, with an effective appointment date of July 4, 1976.[27] This restored Washington's position as the highest-ranking military officer in US history.[a] NASA commemorated the Bicentennial by staging a science and technology exhibit housed in a series of geodesic domes in the parking lot of the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) called Third Century America. An American flag and the Bicentennial emblem were also painted on the side of the VAB; the emblem remained until 1998, when it was painted over with the NASA insignia. NASA planned for Viking 1 to land on Mars on July 4, but delayed the landing to July 20, the anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. On the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution, NASA held the rollout ceremony of the first Space Shuttle (which NASA had planned to name Constitution but was, instead, named "Enterprise" in honor of its fictional namesake on the television series Star Trek[29]). Delaware crossing reenactment On November 20 and 21 of 1976, participants immersed themselves in the era by donning period-accurate uniforms and equipping themselves with the tools and weaponry characteristic of that Christmas night over two centuries prior.[30] The reenactment unfolded as a grand spectacle, featuring a flotilla of boats navigating the icy currents of the Delaware River. Since then, the Crossing the Delaware reenactment has occurred every year to relive and recognize this moment.[31]
Are you seeing any bunting or just feeling the 250th coming?
A new survey from Elon University found that a majority of Democrats would prefer living in another country rather than the United States, underscoring growing ideological divides over patriotism, national identity, and perceptions of the American Dream. One of the June 2 survey's most notable findings showed that 55 percent of Democrats answered "yes" when asked whether there is another country where they would rather live today than the United States. Only 10 percent of Republicans responded similarly. The result suggests that many Democrats view the United States less favorably than Republicans, despite Democrats continuing to participate in the country's political and cultural institutions. The survey found even more dramatic differences regarding America's upcoming 250th anniversary. Sixty-eight percent of Republicans reported feeling proud about America250, while only 18 percent of Democrats said the same. Likewise, 75 percent of Republicans agreed that the American Dream remains achievable regardless of circumstance if people work hard enough, compared to just 25 percent of Democrats. The gap suggests that attitudes toward America's history and founding ideals increasingly break along partisan lines, even as universities and civic organizations prepare for the historic anniversary.

It's not just that. It's also that successful normal people in the country have a lot going on and are already enjoying life. I don't think traveling to DC -- or doing anything special -- on one of the hottest days of the summer is an appealing proposition.
We are doing our normal July 4th BBQ party we've been doing for years. We got a custom "250th" banner, and got some special cigars, scotch, and wine. But otherwise, it won't be that much different than normal.
The weather is supposed to be 100 degrees (in the NYC area) and humid with scattered thunderstorms. That will put a damper on most people's enthusiasm for outdoor events.
It's not just that. It's also that successful normal people in the country have a lot going on and are already enjoying life. I don't think traveling to DC -- or doing anything special -- on one of the hottest days of the summer is an appealing proposition.

Ds also don't help. I haven't gone b/c food and beverage are supposedly not allowed in the area (although this might be changing), and I'm not going to DC and relying on minimum wage folks to handle my allergies or refill free waters in one hundred degree heat.
I'll think about the fest next week, if it's still open (I assume they closed for a lot of the weekend weather - it was lousy)...

I remember all the fire hydrants in the neighborhood getting painted red white and blue. We lived in base housing in those days so I don't know how wide-spread that was. The Archie Saturday cartoons had "Revolutionary Archie" episodes that were set in 1776. Captain Kangaroo had a lot of shows where he talked about what life was like in the Colonial period. And the Bicentennial quarters of course. Those were neat. Speaking of which, there's a new quarter design that will be out by the 4th celebrating the Declaration of Independence. George gets a new design and Liberty Bell on the back. PLUS just 250,000 of them will have a special "July 4th" insignia on the front and they're all mixed in with the others. It will be a national treasure hunt! Keep an eye out for those, they WILL be worth something.

You can see who is celebrating and who isn't when you drive around towns and cities.
The liberal enclaves look like it is January 14th and just a regular day.
The white collar middle class neighborhoods look like a typical summer with the usual number of American flags and patriotic decor.
The blue collar middle class neighborhoods look like Uncle Sam busted a huge nut with more American flags and patriotic decor than a 4th of July.
Of course, I still can't believe that Thomas Jefferson would write the Declaration of Independence so close to Pride Month.

THEN, Shaprio sent $700,000 of PA taxpayer money in place of delegates. This pissed off Lumpy Fetterman, who put together his own delegate group separate from Shapiro's failure.

And whined about relatives at holiday tables that wanted to voice their counter opinion. Until it became "don't show up at all". As if the purpose of holiday family get togethers had anything to do with politics.
But, then again, "the personal is political" to ideologues.

What's so stupid about it is, it's to showcase your state, what you are proud of for your state.
And the visitors get a "passport" stamp for each state.
I've heard the young kids really enjoy this.
But the left is so blinded by hate for Trump that they made this fair about them and their temper tantrum.

PA is putting something together now. Thanks to our two Senators and to Salena Zito for making a stink about it.
Josh didn't want to do it, he was again acting in solidarity with the Leftist Governors (just like with COVID).
He isn't doing a single thing. he didn't involve the CoC. he just said "we aren't doing it Nyah Nyah"
but not the CoC is involved and lots of big companies from PA are moving on it. There's a replica of the Liberty Bell on the way today, will be up on display tomorrow.
so, yay Lumpy!

I'm sure my state will send some delegation on my tax dime and somehow that's supposed to make me proud or something.
But I recognize it for what it is, an excuse for my sack of shit representatives to go to D.C., stay in the nicest hotels, eat the best meals, get drunk and fuck their interns.
Yippee. Happy 250th.

Even the places liberals think are "way better" than America like Scandanavian countries are not great. I worked for a company that had a presence there and it's basically like everyone is lower middle class, except for a few oligarchs.
Even the "wealthy" seem very middle class compared to American standards.
This really is the best country by far, we just have the evil left like every country does.

Nationwide. TBH, it felt like there was a lot more planning the 2 years leading up to the 200th. TV networks played the "bidecential minute." half the products in the food stores had special packaging, and each town had a committee, which included the painting of fire hydrants, etc....
So I remember many towns in NE having painted hydrants. Not all, but many. Some had them painted up like little soldiers (and the top was the cap...) and some just red white and blue.

They basically ended living off Robert Owen's acquired wealth. But, then again, it was his idea in the first place.

There are a few of those woopsie videos out there, with all manner of problems. The "trans nonbinary" woman who fled to Canada with her "partner" did get some Canadian university gig after much panic and despair. (She's still psychotic, though.)
Another family got to Italy on the husband's Italian ancestry shortly before Italy changed the law and now their fate is up in the air. You'll never believe this, but the Italian bureaucracy is very slow and unreliable on handling their appeal or even clarifying their status.
My favorite is a Black woman married to a Hispanic guy. Background: his parents got to America from Mexico (doubtless amnestied or something). The couple sold EVERYTHING, quit their jobs, moved to Mexico over his parents' incredulous hand-wringing, and promptly fell into massive medical expense (It's not free????) because all three of their kids got sick probably drinking the local water and they had to move back to the States, where they now have to start all over from nothing. She's asking her followers to send her money and trying to get American healthcare for the sickest kid.

Leftists lie a lot. Too many of those assholes think the tourist bubble that they are in when traveling abroad is representative of real life in those countries. About like Euros coming here for the World Cup believed a bunch of stupid media stories. Only way to experience real life in such places is either a lengthy stay and a conscious effort to get out into the countryside and outside the city centers.

The Philly leftists are crowing about how much the World Cup crowds are loving the city. And to be fair, there are no reports of any foreigners getting murdered. Residents, however......
The tourists aren't sticking around long enough to experience the real charm of the K & A Zombie Zone.

I actually bought some decorations this year since it is our 250th. I don't usually spend money on that kind of stuff.
We have a neighbor who does maximalist decor for all the traditional holidays. They have the flags and the bunting and a Trump flag. In response, the son (being raised as a daughter) of the lefties across the street yells and texts all kinds of abuse and threats against my neighbor. When alerted about her son's/"daughter's" behavior, the mom simply said she believes people should be able to voice their opinions. She had nothing to say about whether people she disagrees with have the right to not be harassed for their opinions.
It should be noted that the lefty's neighbors have all been friendly and kind to them -- inviting them to dinner and checking on their well-being after their camper caught fire. No one has been ugly except the lefties.

I fully support Israel killing as many goatfuckers as possible, but dual citizenship is an abomination. I don't think that's controversial.
Posted by: Ian S
--------
Risky for them though -- if the goatfuckers take over, where will they go? Seems unlikely, but they are growing numbers in many states, including TX. So having dual citizenship to go to Israel is a convenient redoubt for them.
Seriously though, it doesn't actually matter since Israel will offer them some special visa that equates to citizenship, but "isn't" if the US forces them to renounce. There is no good solution here.

There is a/c in Europe. But it’s generally a rich person thing to have. Same with car ownership. Rich people in Europe don’t take the bus, they drive. They also fly instead of taking a train. And rich people also tend to own single family homes, apartments are a lot/middle class thing.
Everything American leftists love about Europe is really what poor people do in Europe.

I would add that in 1976 the percentage of Americans living in America was much higher.
But after 50 years of unrestrained immigration from the worst Thunderdome shitholes on the planet, the percentage of Americans in America is now drastically less.
Even foreigners who like and appreciate being here probably won't feel any affinity to the country's 250th. The invader animals and flotsam and jetsam? None at all.

And while it has a lot of homeless, they’re kinda concentrated in a few areas. I think LA county has 50k homeless but that’s out of 10M people in the county.
If you’re upper middle class in LA, you have a pretty good life and can avoid the shitty side of the city for the most part.

It's not just that. It's also that successful normal people in the country have a lot going on and are already enjoying life. I don't think traveling to DC -- or doing anything special -- on one of the hottest days of the summer is an appealing proposition.
We are doing our normal July 4th BBQ party we've been doing for years. We got a custom "250th" banner, and got some special cigars, scotch, and wine. But otherwise, it won't be that much different than normal.
The weather is supposed to be 100 degrees (in the NYC area) and humid with scattered thunderstorms. That will put a damper on most people's enthusiasm for outdoor events.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at June 29, 2026 02:23 PM (iFTx/)
My family IS travelling in the 100+ degree weather to see DC.
Because this is a literal once in a lifetime event (for me at least, unless I live to be 100). My children will probably see the 300th, if the US survives that long.
This should be a much bigger deal, and that it's not doesn't bode well for there ever being a 300th.

A while back my wife was excited at finding some really cheap cruises. I said yeah it’s Carnival it’s cheap for a reason. She had no idea what I was talking about. I thought it was common knowledge carnival is the ghetto cruise line but apparently it’s not universally known.
Posted by: Heroq at June 29, 2026 02:47 PM (v2lMK)
_______
It depends very much on the port, destination, and especially the ship and length of cruise.
The ghetto cruises are almost all the short, cheap cruises on older boats that encourage boozing and partying. They're basically glorified "booze cruises."
Carnival has longer cruises on newer boats that appeal to more affluent travelers and don't attract feral ghetto rats.
That being said, Carnival has positioned itself as a lower-priced "big ship" line, so if you're looking for a true luxury cruise, then Carnival ain't it.

My wife "read reviews" and didn't see anything. I offered to show her a half-dozen recent brawls on Carnival. She then went on a rant about how the algorithm shows you what you want to see and obviously I was doing something wrong to have that sort of thing in my twitter feed.
She's more stubborn than me. I realized she was going, and the only options that didn't involve a huge fight was letting her go without me, or going with her.
Yeah, I know. I'm a huge pussy. Honestly, I'm frustrated with her and myself.

I was a teenager in 1976. I recall that the buildup -- particularly CBS's nightly Bicentennial Minute -- was immense, but the day itself was a standard Independence Day. The cows still had to be fed, and we went to the nearest burg that evening for its fireworks display.
Things will be the same Saturday. We'll participate in the church's parade, and friends probably will invite us to their party, although it's a lot quieter now that the kids are grown.

All true, but Carnival has realized they have a huge problem, because most people won't bother to find out whether their particular cruise is one of "those cruises", and will just avoid the line altogether. That's why they've banned rap.

could be very happy living in CR, BUT those who think CR is a bargain & that the CoL is low... you're in for a big surprise! (as Gomer Pyle used to say).
A bag of groceries and a 2BR condo cost about the same as they do in the U.S.
The glory days of CR being cheap were the '70s. CR used to offer financial inducements (import your car tax free!) to lure American retirees.
Posted by: mnw at June 29, 2026 03:10 PM (RCjYY)
This goes pretty much anywhere. People look at a county or a state or city and go oh it’s so cheap here. But averages or medians don’t tell the true story. The average house could be $X but the average house could also be a dump in a shittty area. A nice house in a safe area will still cost $3X which is what the behaves in an expensive country or state.
Quality costs money everywhere.

I was on a Carnival cruise in the late 90s, before it became Section 8 Of The Seas. It was fine, but a bit low class even then.

They have deliberately positioned themselves as the budget-friendly option of the yuge cruise lines. And a lot of people want just that. Not everyone has piles of money to spend on travel, or who wants to spend a thousand bucks a person, per day on a higher-end cruise. As I said above, the ghetto cruises are the shorter, dirt-cheap Carnival cruises that cater to partying and drinking.

I'm not much of a fan of the idea of a cruise on a gigantic boat with hundreds of other strangers, not to mention a crew and company that aren't terribly interested in our well-being. I don't remember the exact details but someone I knew many years ago took a trip on a personal sailboat; crew was *maybe* three people and there were only six passengers.

I watched a long form YT yesterday about the fair and the dude was from NC and he walked into exhibit with an NC flag and it had exhibits about the coast, the mountains, and had a NASCAR race car.
Seems like something in this report is wrong.
Maybe the story is about the "delegation" rather than an exhibit, but they definately have an exhibit.

So Close to Pride Month?
I linked a clip of this on Friday or Thursday.
Below, pro-trans, pro-gay, pro-sex-offender, pro-pedophile senator Scott Weiner is harassed and driven out of a "Pride" month by militant Hamas supporters who claim he's, get this, a "center-right shill."No one more richly deserves this humiliation than Scott Wiener, who learns the hard lesson that you can be a militant for trans radicalism, a full-scale Israel-hater, and an all-around moral derelict...and the hard Left will still yell at you for being a Jew. 10/10, no notes. https://t.co/MVhv1TUqEw

@politicalmath Jun 28 This is such an interesting scissor moment. Is it bad that Scott Wiener is being verbally and physically assaulted for participating in an ostensibly non-political event? Oh yeah. Yes it is. That's very bad. But this has been happening to the people Scott hates for close to a decade and Scott has encouraged it. The best option would be to stop it completely. But we all know that if we stop it for Scott, he will simply tell everyone to do it to his political enemies. Oh well. It sucks that we eroded the norms that are necessary for a functional society. Have fun with that, Scott! I hope no one treats you as badly as you have encouraged people to treat your political enemies.
You fed this climate of hate. https://t.co/oTxMU7ZvE6

I think Scott Wiener is abhorrent. Absolutely a disgrace of a human being. This, however, should be chilling for all of us, because he isn’t being harassed for his laws to make being a pederast easier, or his laws for allowing someone to knowingly put you at risk for aids. No, it’s because he is Jewish. His face is being eaten by those very people he cultivated, and it is easy to say he is in the sowing phase. But the reason is very, very dangerous and scary.

And I hope the next harasser tries to make him say "Defund the police." Then "Empty the prisons." Then "We deserved 911."

This incident is acually a much bigger deal than most people realize. I LOT of Jews on the Left had their eyes opened by it. The basic sentiment is:
"If Scott Wiener isn't safe from these maniacs, then no one is safe.

Go right ahead and point and laugh. He will be one of California's next Congresspersons, and there's nothing you mouth-breathing bitter-clinging troglodytes can do about it. To help you get used to it, here is some biographical information about Mr. Wiener from his campaign website:
"For the past 28 years, Senator Scott Wiener has worked day and night for San Franciscans, never giving up until the job is done. As a State Senator, former member of the Board of Supervisors, former Deputy City Attorney, and longtime community leader, he has championed progressive policies – including nearly 100 state laws – to improve affordability and make San Franciscans safer, happier, healthier, and more secure."

That video is comically funny because everyone at the event is a caricature of creepy homosexual.
The guy off-camera at the beginning, lisping in an exaggerated way like something Eddie Murphy would joked about back in the day.
The screaming twink in antifa gear who looks to be about 4 feet tall. His gimmick is probably sucking dicks while standing up.
The rando fat fuglies and weirdos in the background who look like their rejects from a Cantina Bat scene in a new Star Wars.

The hate and division is demonstrably being funded by our foreign enemies. It’s is being run by their domestic supporters and pushed on the ground by a group of lazy Marxists whose minds have been infected by college professors and nourished by their own ignorance.
Make no mistake, this is war and should be fought as such. If you do nothing they win.
Don’t forget, most of the left wing candidates who just won their primary spots did so with around 9% of the eligible voters.

pro-pedophile senator Scott Weiner is harassed and driven out of a "Pride" month by militant Hamas supporters who claim he's, get this, a "center-right shill."
You know folks in your party have gone almost as far left as possible when you're very far left, but are considered center-right...
I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Maybe the power of AND?

The Red Guards are finding that they can intimidate their own cadres. Envy, greed and lust for power is pushing them to attack their own so called leaders. Antifa, BLM, pro terrorists, tranny activists who are feeling they can rise to the next level of command. Too mal educated to know what happened once the Maoist Red Guards had outlived their usefulness. Ditches and a bullet in the back of the head.
These types always believe they will be the ones with the gun. Never the ones in the ditch.

Mamcommie said something distinctly fascist.
He threatened that landlords who would not serve the state could have their property taken away from them and given to one who would serve the state.
Sorry, people, that a distinctive of fascism, not "socialism" where the state simply takes over property.
But, saying is not doing, so we'll see what he does.

I dunno. You have to appreciate the irony. Jews have been huge funders of the Democratic Party and their apparatus for a long time. There are still a few who hope the beast will eat them last and lavish the party with massive donations.
But now the rank and file are coming for them? Should I give a shit? Are they saying they’re coming around to the conservative position- or are they just looking for some empathy and breathing space until the beast is gone, only to reemerge with a new brand that still seeks to undermine our country? I’ll go with the latter for now.

I see many many left-leaning Jews reacting this way to the Scott Weiner-trans incident. It's changing the electorate.
Jews are slowly trending more right wing but I don't think it is due to incidents like this...its demographics.
Observant Jews already vote more R then D, non-observant Jews vote more extreme left.
But observant Jews have a fertility rate of 3.3 and non-observant ones have 1.4 - which means in 3 generations most Jews will be observant...

Little-known detail about my 2007 Trans March report that I can now safely reveal:
It is one of the very few photo essays I ever posted that had NO captions because it was one the very few times I was ever threatened and followed by menacing creeps after an event. As I tried to leave, I was following by a squad of very scary Mad-Max-level trans enforcers, who spread out as they tailed me so I couldn't escape, and began shouting threats -- "Who the fuck are you? Show us your ID!", and they were smashing things as the followed me -- breaking car rear-view windows, kicking over garb age cans, etc. It was about the most scared I had even been at an event. So much so that I just posted the pictures without commentary. Yeah, I let them have the "bully's veto," but I still break out in a cold sweat just remembering it. Of all the creepy toxic hate groups I ever covered, the Trans folks were the scariest. I knew this back in 2007, so all their violence and aggressiveness since then may have surprised the average person, but it did not surprise me.

In this case, I am. He is a white guy and the DSA is turning away from those and this is an excuse to get rid of him. Newsom is more likely and even he is now struggling nationally as well as clouds of legal problems over him. Neither Newsom nor Bootyjuice can really point out policy successes either. Walz is done, Shapiro is Jewish in PA which creates problems for the DSA types, and son. I also think Ossof is smoking dope to think he can be the white Jewish Obama nominee for prezzie as a Democrat.
So at this stage, I think it may be Kamala's race to lose with AOC and perhaps some other female POCs along with some white AWFLs like perhaps Klobachar etc. We shall have to wait and see but I think Bootyjuice is in the Gary Hart situation and worse if the facts in the case bear out child abuse.

I'd like to see CPS reveal the evidence, which might have been someone saying "I saw him do X.”
——-
Interesting theory, but even CPS doesn’t roll in a swat team simply for anonymous, unsubstantiated allegations.
As usual, he’s trying to claim he’s the victim here. It is obvious there were credible concerning allegations, otherwise they would not have proceeded the way they did. His “husband” may be involved.
Allowing sex deviants to adopt children is one of the more bizarre developments in recent years, among many. My hometown has a queer member of the board of supervisors, total flamer. He was feted by all the usual suspects upon election, fawning stories, glowing coverage, rainbows everywhere. A few years ago his “husband” committed suicide. Recently he was charged (twice) with sodomizing a boy, but he refuses to resign, naturally, despite everyone recommending he do so. Just sick depraved MFers.

CPS took his kids. He's claiming he's being politically targeted based on an false, anonymous report. But that doesn't make sense. The man has money and connections. He could have a dozen high powered lawyers on this in hours. If the action really was that thin and baseless, I don't see it going this far. I can't imagine a CPS drone going after a Democrat golden boy without a ton of ass-covering in place.
---
None of the story adds up.
CPS call.
They came to his house.
And separated him from his kids for a night.
Others have pointed out:
CPS gets a lot of fake calls.
And just don't go out on a single anonymous tip.
And even when they do--from people who've had visits--they never, ever take the kids.
Unless there was some "there" there.
Something stinks.
And it's not the rotten milk in his fake breastfeeding rig.

So, when the world won't satisfy their delusions they turn that inward and kill themselves, but when you calmly refuse their delusions, they get violent.
This *is* the pattern that trans-mania is showing.

Let's be honest. They hate Christians. They are primo "oikophobes". They really wouldn't have a home "on the Right", until they purge the propaganda from their minds that fascism is "right wing".

I don't really understand why they hate Christians so badly.
Perhaps it's just a religious difference. As a Christian, I'm taught to forgive my enemies.
I guess Jews still operate under the "eye for an eye" mentality.

My wife's cancer was estrogen and progesterone positive, so they gave her meds that knocked those hormones down to almost zero...for the last almost 16 years of her life. The did give here a tiny tad of testosterone (women's bodies DO make testosterone, but in much lower proportions to men). Sometimes hormone treatment is necessary. For trannies, it's appeasing their mental illness, like cutting off an arm on someone who believes their arm is an appendage alien to them.

Kamala only has a shot if it isn't real. Since I believe it isn't real, that makes Kamala more likely than AOC. But unless the GOP is totally cucked, or the cheat is 100% on, she has no chance in a GE. So I am sincerely not expecting Kamala. If it's her I believe it means the GE is in the bag for them.

CPS generally only steps in if there is verifiable risk of harm to the kids. That can be signs of violence, signs of drug use that affect the kids, and if a kid is in a situation where there is indication of abuse, then the kid goes to a Child Advocacy Center for an interview and a medical evaluation which generally includes checking for evidence of sexual abuse.
Since Booty is very important, I am surprised the information got out, he is big enough for this sort of thing to be suppressed.

The hilarious part is that when a black candidate is defeated in a nomination race, black voters stay home out of pique. Dems in Texas are learning that as we speak.
So the Dems have to pacify the most significant portion of their base at the absolute, known, demonstrable cost of the general electorate. It's a hell of a box canyon they've constructed for themselves.

You're too fat and too gay. The other pirates don't want to have to batten down their hatches when they're sleeping, and they don't need the two of you getting into the hard tack and leaving them starving on the high seas, especially since they can't eat you because of the AIDS.

It used to be axiomatic with doctors, when dealing with hysterical delusional or psychotic individuals, you never ever try to humor them. It only gets them even more spooled up. Indifference.
Keep that in mind, when everyone is admonished to utilize “they/them/he/she/zhe/twee” pronouns and playing along with the fairy tales. Or Else.
You will get Fired if you Don’t Comply. It really is amazing how wicked it really all is, at so many interlocking levels, with follow on effects, and “unintended” consequences.

154 A lot of "trans genocide" is prostitutes being killed by their johns.
Posted by: mr tmz
That's 90% of murders of trans people.
What happens is: A not-very-bright lonely (straight) guy goes cruising for a hooker, sees someone on the dark street corner dressed like a hooker, picks "her" up, drives to some secluded spot, and discvoered at some point during the sex act that the "woman" sucking his dick (or whatever) actually has a dick or "her" own, and is in fact a man -- a homosexual man who tricked the john into having homosexual sex against his will which is technically rape, b the way) -- and he freaks out, is filled with rage that he was just raped, and lashes out at the tranny.
Is this "genocide" No.

> Doctor ChatGPT is a better doctor than 99% of doctors.
I'm a programmer. I've used AI a lot as part of my job. At first, AI would hallucinate a lot, and you really couldn't trust its correctness. Now I'd say it's mostly correct, but sometimes the code is weird and sub-optimal. The problem is, if you're not a developer, you don't really know the difference between correct but weird and suboptimal code vs correct and good code. It works.
Sometimes just working is fine. Sometimes working, but bad code is a mess for the future.
I imagine this is similar to AI in other fields, except with medicine there is a LOT of gray area. Even with the correct answer, a good course of treatment may not be appropriate for a specific patient. Or there may be some other underlying issue you didn't know to ask about that makes a correct course of treatment a disaster for you.

But he's a raging narcissist who desperately wants to appear relevant. That, plus I'm sure he'll try to fundraise off it.

No, bank robbery but yes, it could have been applied to Jan 6 cases except those are now pardoned, thus moot. Interesting reasoning on the case and Kagan wrote the majority opinion.
Katz and the reasonable expectation of privacy is becoming long in the tooth due to computer technology but notice this also applies to ballot harvesters who typically have been discovered via geo fencing. Apparently though the ruling only covers direct Google handing over the data, not to government purchase of the data from databrokers. That is what voter integrity groups used is buying commercially available location data that google sells to databrokers.

Kama is absolutely going to be the nominee.
NOBODY votes in Dem primaries like black voters and they are all in on Kamala.
The hilarious part is that when a black candidate is defeated in a nomination race, black voters stay home out of pique. Dems in Texas are learning that as we speak.
So the Dems have to pacify the most significant portion of their base at the absolute, known, demonstrable cost of the general electorate. It's a hell of a box canyon they've constructed for themselves.

Before the left went on trannymania feminists were arguing that "rape by deception" should be a way bigger thing legally - so if the guy you had sex with claimed he wanted a relationship with you and then never called you back that was rape.
That went away as soon as left embraced trannies, because as you note there is a semi-regular series of "local news stories" of some guy finding out his hooker is a DIAD and beating him and the left is very insistent this is not rape by deception.

Surprisingly, no.
Bank robbery in Midlothian, VA. Cops had no suspect, so they just pulled every phone that was there within a sixty-minute period.
The cops narrowed the list and re-asked for the phone data a few times before ending up with three phones. They arrested the owner of one of them and charged him.
SCOTUS ruled that people have a reasonable expectation that their location data is private and only being used for privately-approved tasks (maps, weather, et al.) and that the Government has no right to it.

I think it is that, however adherent they are, the Law plays a bigger role in their thinking than forgiveness.
I was recently listening to the podcast of Hebrew Scholar Dr. Michael Heiser, and he was pointing out that the OT Mosaic code had no forgiveness for intentional sins. Rebellious sins had no cover, only inadvertent sins were covered by sacrifice. Forgiveness to such a degree as for rebellion, is only a Jesus thing.
Just like I think that a lot of ethnicities use the special status that "White Europeans" have to indulge in their racial bias, Jews (not all) indulge their religious/cultural prejudice through the special status Christianity has in America.
There was a time when other ethnicities suffered somewhat at the hands of the establishment of "White Christian Europeans". And the complement indulges their bigotries in "payback" to the same group.

In reality (changing course of tangent), I think the pride crap is really a sad boost to egos destroyed by their sexual confusion and, well, monkey pox and HIV. Like kid's soccer participation trophies (one son got a trophy in kindergarten and mostly lay on his back watching clouds in Florida). Then want to be part of life and determine their gender! I married my dog, get used to it!
I used to dance with a gay guy (x-ray tech) at a gay bar in college when we nurses arrived in a group. Handsome guy, probably dead now. Why can't they just go back to this vs in my face I'm queer get used to it.
We are used to it so shut up!

Spawn of a leftist commie foreigner academic and likely abused sexually by an older gay in academic circles is my guess. Predators know who are easy targets.
But I think his dismal record as DoT head, his vacuous and rather stupid public pronouncements, and his being a white male relying on alphabet points, like Weiner, is becoming irrelevant in the DSA/Muzzie activist circles. Bootyjuice could still probably win some office in perverted states that are still pale and stale like Massachussets or Vermont, but is not that salable nationwide anymore. The thrill is gone. If the Democrats wanted to pivot to white males, there are other alternatives with less baggage, Beshear, tOssoff, etc.

I think it varied between "Welcoming" and "Belonging" -- it's been a while since I first saw it -- but the intent was the same: to be so vague that any snowflake could complain about literally anything and get literally any accommodation. And "Nothing ever is" good enough for them, as you say.

The basis of this question is employee satisfaction and union avoidance. Unfortunately, there is misunderstanding in thinking a satisfied employee is the same as a happy employee. There are so many orgs who don’t have a real HR team, as is evident here, or completely misunderstand the role of HR. Until they have an organizing attempt, and if big enough, they parachute people like you or the previous version of me to fix and correct when it’s all but too late.

Bank robbery in Midlothian, VA. Cops had no suspect, so they just pulled every phone that was there within a sixty-minute period.
The cops narrowed the list and re-asked for the phone data a few times before ending up with three phones. They arrested the owner of one of them and charged him.
SCOTUS ruled that people have a reasonable expectation that their location data is private and only being used for privately-approved tasks (maps, weather, et al.) and that the Government has no right to it.

They could have done what the Aurora PD did, which is to put roadblocks all around a selected area and pull everyone inside the perimeter out of their cars and cuff them AT GUNPOINT, including some fatass loser cop with his finger on the trigger of his shotgun. Although that was such a clusterfuck, and then I never heard anything more about it, that I suspect something else was going on.

and he freaks out, is filled with rage that he was just raped, and lashes out at the tranny.
Is this "genocide" No.
Did you see the video from a few years ago where a tranny is sitting on the floor in a bus in Dublin. The tranny keeps moving his hands to awkward positions to apparently touch another man's feet. Eventually after the man moves his feet several times to avoid being touched, he snaps and kicks the tranny in the head a few times.

I wonder how many "innocent transgender attacked" events follow this pattern where they were being creepy jerks before the violence.

#200 "Can someone tell me what 'good legislation for queers' is?"
Buncha special-person rules and identity resource earmarking, rent-control protections for AIDS/HIV, boosted healthcare access, gender identity options on forms, trans rights in long term care facilities. Also, in California, giving someone AIDs/HIV is no longer a felony. Also, probably involved in the various rules taking away parental rights and promoting trans education in schools. Seems obvious he was in on that but haven't double checked. You asked.

That is legal--your expectation of privacy is at a minimum in a public street after a crime has been committed. Same with your external visage being captured on Flock cameras, your car license plate being processed by said cameras, etc.
Technology has gutted the Katz decision creating the reasonable expectation of privacy by making it very easy for law enforcement or even private investigators buying the shit from data brokers, to make dossiers of people en masse.

“Ok, that's honestly a bit fucked up“
How so? Sounds like damned fine police work to me. And I’m no boot-licker, that’s for certain.
More sophisticated crooks will never have any electronic devices with them.
Cell phone tower data is VERY useful to investigators. They can “rewind” and “fast forward” the location of individuals and suspects in a given location ar a given time.
I can’t think of a more useful metric. It’s a revolutionary as the development of fingerprint data.
Why hasn’t the court decided that you have a right to keep your fingerprints private, hm?

Supreme Court Rules That the Chief Executive Does In Fact Have the Power to Fire His Own Executive Branch Employees
Liberal congresses passed laws to establish so-called "independent agencies," which are executive branch agencies intended to be independent from the very executive they're part of.
This is plainly unconstitutional. The Constitution establishes that there is an Executive branch headed by a Chief Executive, the president, who is vested with all of the power of the executive branch of government. Congress may not set up fakey-fake "independent" agencies which are part of the Executive and yet not part of the Executive. Today, an hour ago, the Supreme Court re-introduced the Constitution into constitutional law about firing the heads of "independent" agencies.Benjamin RyanThe Federal Reserve, however, keeps its unconstitutional independence from the Executive:
@benryanwriter 1h NEWS: Supreme Court overrules a 90-year-old precedent and frees the president to fire independent agency heads The Supreme Court ruled today that President Trump can remove Federal Trade Commission members at will, and in doing so it overruled Humphrey's Executor, the 1935 decision that has protected independent agencies for nine decades. The case is Trump v. Slaughter, and it reshapes the federal bureaucracy. The fight began when Trump fired the FTC's two Democratic commissioners, Rebecca Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, early in his second term. He did not claim cause. He simply said their service no longer fit his administration's priorities. Federal law says FTC commissioners can be removed only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance. Slaughter sued to get her job back and won below. The Court reversed. Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the majority, said the Constitution vests executive power in one president who must be able to remove the officers who wield that power on his behalf. Because the FTC clearly exercises executive power, he wrote, its commissioners answer to the president. Humphrey's Executor, he said, has long been a result in search of a rationale, and the Court let it go. The vote was 6 to 3. Roberts was joined by Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. Sotomayor dissented, joined by Kagan and Jackson.
It's worth noting alongside the Cook decision handed down the same day. The Court protected the Federal Reserve's independence there while stripping it from the FTC here, drawing an explicit line around the central bank as a historical exception. So independent agencies lose their shield, but the Fed keeps its own.In the typical way, Roberts and Coney Barret sided with the liberals in holding, 5-4, that the "Election Day" mentioned in the Constitution doesn't actually mean Election Day at all and that ballots can be counted no matter how long after Election Day they're received. They do have be postmarked by Election day, though. And no one could possibly fake a mail stamp.
SCOTUS WireFull decision, by Barrett (of course), here.
@scotus_wire 🚨 In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court ruled that federal law does not require mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day, holding that states may count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received afterward if state law allows it.
BREAKING: Supreme Court rules 5-4 that federal law does NOT require mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day

Humphrey's Executor is overturned. Let's celebrate.
As for the mail-in voting decision, it seems halfway reasonable to me, although I'll have to read some content (like the decision). But getting your ballot in the mail and postmarked on/by Election Day seems like a sufficient effort if you're in a stupid jurisdiction that allows mail-in voting to begin with.

I suspect this is why Robert's opinion leans so much on "the tradition of central banking" in this country. The thing is plainly monstrous as designed, but the common view is that such a bank is needed ("independent central banks" are common in a lot of countries). The typical textbook discussion of the 1830s is that Jackson killing the Second Bank was an economic disaster. So there's institutional impetus to find some way to keep the FED alive in its current form. Distinguishing it from all other 'independent agencies' is actually an improvement from the situation before today.
The Fed is a public institution and, therefore, belongs to one of the three defined branches. So, which?
Or...
The Fed is a private institution so why does the President nominate and the Senate approve members? And why does it have control over our currency?

Oh they do?
Just like every company that takes payment by mail?
Why its almost like you are expected to get things in by the date they are due...

If Trump's executive order on post office ballots goes through, then it becomes a lot more difficult to insert ballots as they will all have been tracked up to Election day.
But this was another crappy 'moderate' decision rather than a bright line. Favored by weak kneed justices. Bad decision with little justification for it textually in the Constitution. Scotus essentially punted to Congress who can make such laws and should.
Ditto on the Federal Reserve. There is no consistent rationale by Justices like ACB and Roberts in their decisions--if the President is head of the Executive Branch, that will include the Federal Reserve--period. But so far the Court did not rule on the merits of the case (as to whether she actually gave 'cause' that got her fired by Trump). Kicked back to district court for interpretation and ruling.

Congress could easily fix the "election day" issue. But it won't. Because neither side really cares about secure elections. They all have their own fraud game going on. Ditto in the states. And not just blue states.
The late-arriving ballot case arose out of ... Mississippi. Yes, that Mississippi. One of the reddest states in the country. But MS counts ballots arriving five business days after election day. Five. Fucking. Business. Days. So ballots can show up almost a full calendar week later, and still be counted. In the reddest of red states.
If we can't get bright red states to get their shit together and not allow obviously-fraudulent late-arriving fake ballots, then we have little hope on this issue at all.

The Cook case was sent back to develop the record on why she was fired from the Fed . Not really a loss just a kind of do over.
If after the development of the record it goes back to the SC it would be a great argument to say the Fed is in fact an executive branch entity. The "quasi-independent" crap could go bye-bye

Nope. As long as the return is postmarked on time, it is considered on time.
Of course, it is rather unlikely that someone with access to a postmark machine is going to back postmark a late return on your behalf.

And by the way, Humphrey's Executor is an example of a shitty unprincipled decision as it severely limited the Myers v US decision that killed such laws as the Tenure in Office Act (which caused Andrew Johnson's impeachment). Humphrey's Executor and the later Weiner v. US presupposed that bureaucrats could be insulated from firing if they had quasi legislative or quasi judicial roles, but not policymaking nor executive roles.
Purely bullshit speculation from the Hughes court that wanted to put the brakes on FDR that Congress in granting the executive these powers could forestall the president getting rid of past appointees that were preventing the executive from being chief executive. Purely modern drivel invention that reflected the whole Civil Service ethos of dedicated bureaucrats who faithfully only implemented policy and not make it.

Liberals need to rethink how administrative state works in light of this ruling. Trump now has free reign to reshape huge parts of federal law. That cannot be sustainable.
This court needs a government to openly mock their terrible decisions and then ignore them along the lines of what they have already ruled on. And if they do try to backtrack then they should be declared incompetent.
Trump can control every agency but the federal bank because the court must protect business above all else. I hate right now so much...
I still don't understand how the powers delegated by Congress to these independent agencies aren't contingent on those agencies being independent. This feels like the equivalent of a judicial line item veto that inherently creates a scenario starkly at contrast to what Congress intended.
How thoughtful can the concurrence be if it recognizes the hand grenade this opinion represents but decides to pull the pin and toss it anyway?
This mean Federal Agencies will become highly partisan and political in service of the President, and completely replaced by new presidents. So much for stability.

In a sense, the Cook decision required the district court to revisit its injunction against the firing due to the new Slaughter precedent and whether the facts in the case did in fact warrant Cook's firing for 'cause'. As opposed to the case in Slaughter, Cook was being fired for mortgage fraud plus dishonesty in the ancillary matters like insurance, property taxes, etc,that would seem to be a disqualifier as a top regulator of federal banks.

The government was always meant to change with the president- no matter which party. This idea that bureaucrats were entitled to office no matter who won is what created the deep state and generations of agencies that existed outside the constitution and as a power unto themselves. They didn’t seek “continuity of government”. They sought continuity of their own power.

Try mailing a check for your mortgage on the day it’s due. And then when it gets there 3 days later and you are assessed a late fee, call up and say hey man it was mailed on time. Tell them Amy Comey Day OConnor and John Roberts said it counts as being on time.
See how far that gets you.

The late-arriving ballot case arose out of ... Mississippi. Yes, that Mississippi. One of the reddest states in the country. But MS counts ballots arriving five business days after election day. Five. Fucking. Business. Days. So ballots can show up almost a full calendar week later, and still be counted. In the reddest of red states.
If we can't get bright red states to get their shit together and not allow obviously-fraudulent late-arriving fake ballots, then we have little hope on this issue at all.

There was a reason for it, though, and if you have been to rural Mississippi, you can suss out the logic. By the way, Mr. NYC, Esquire, in both Al and MS there are mail routes that can only be accessed by boat. I live quite near one of these towns. Your mailbox is on your pier. Next to the alligator. I think the point was to ensure people like this aren’t disenfranchised.
That said, the post mark thing is a little narrowing of this law. The rest of the fix is in the hands of our congresscritters.

Congress could easily fix the "election day" issue. But it won't. Because neither side really cares about secure elections. They all have their own fraud game going on. Ditto in the states. And not just blue states.
---
Given the number of EV that will shift to red states in the next Census--God willing the R's win in 2028--blue states will be irrelevant nationally.
100% of votes for the Dem won't change Congress or the President.
Every red state must pass it's own version of the SAVE Act.
That they are not, tells you how much the state GOPe relies upon fraud to hold power.
For example, GA.
But, as I noted above, if the Dems ever take Congress and the Presidency, the first bill to pass, Day 1--and it will literally be day 1, will be mandating all-mail elections nation wide.

If a right leaning government stops or reduces NGO funding and the Dems can't get government work they are indeed in a pickle...

Marbury v. Madison was an abomination.
Posted by: Auspex
Not quite. A lot of sins get laid down at Marbury's feet but in fact Scotus ordered Jefferson (via Madison) to do nothing. This is despite the fact that Jefferson and Madison behaved abominably and perhaps even illegally in destroying Marbury's commission. Judicial review overturning another congressional law would have to wait until Dred Scott case.
For those that dislike Marbury, I would ask that you go back and read Hylton v. US. In that case, you had an actual Founder, present at the Constitutional Convention, (Justice Paterson) who was also primary drafter of the first Judiciary Act of 1789 as a senator, but also Justice Iredell who attended the NC ratifying convention. In those days, they wrote seratim (separate) opinions and you get an explanation that if the Court could rule a tax as constitutional (Hylton involved a federal excise tax on carriages), then they could rule the unconstitutional.
US at the time was unique as other countries at the time did not actually have independent courts (King and Parliament could force retirement of those they disliked) and had plenary power to change the Constitution.

I've been reading a book about, inter alia, the 1787 Constitutional Convention.
The proposition that POTUS could only fire appointees with the consent of the Senate was debated and rejected. The argument was that since Senate confirmation was required to appoint a Cabinet member, Senate approval was also required for POTUS to fire an appointee. As stated, that proposition was rejected.

Lo-o-o-o-ong before Subsonic used it because it was associated with closing time. It was an "old cry" in 1944.

It's funny because, it's a simple answer: send your voter rolls to DC.
That's it. Send them in.
A funnier response was that Trump wanted to create fraud by stopping the delivery of ballots.
It's a wonder that so many people are confused about directions of things?

The Constitution itself is very sparse in its language, in part, because when the attendees could not agree (as in formal inclusion of judicial review--several states had it in their constitutions already), they remained silent to kick the can to the new government.
So you get the blank spaces--like Congress can declare war but can a president alone declare 'peace' as in Washington's Neutrality pledge. Does the language consult with his cabinet mean executive privilege?--words which never appear in the Constitution. And so on.
To have a written Constitution implies that someone has to be able to declare what that means--whether it is the President, Congress, or Scotus. In this case, the Court is merely saying that the political process can decide (states and federal government in federal elections) when the ballots are counted as long as the postmark is on Election Day. Congress is free to regulate its own elections differently if it chooses (as are states who don't even have to have elections coinciding with the national ones (see VA, NJ, KY, and LA).
I prefer bright lines because it forces discipline--eg. that election day cuts off ballots not received by Election.

To have a written Constitution implies that someone has to be able to declare what that means--whether it is the President, Congress, or Scotus. In this case, the Court is merely saying that the political process can decide (states and federal government in federal elections) when the ballots are counted as long as the postmark is on Election Day. Congress is free to regulate its own elections differently if it chooses (as are states who don't even have to have elections coinciding with the national ones (see VA, NJ, KY, and LA).

That will be true in the DC district court, probably true at the DC appellate level, not necessarily true at Scotus.
And if the US DoJ does its job, it will try and convict her which establishes facts on the ground that a district court cannot disregard if they want the decision to hold up on appeal.

Well, these are the people that were paying for transexual operas in Peru and for studies to examine why lesbians are fatter then straight women so they are perfectly fine with wasting money.
The assumption then should be every politician opposed to SAFE has been elected via fraudulent ballots

Election Mail isn’t required to have a postmark. They don’t like to run ballots through the machines if it can be helped. Imagine that. Election Mail is handled differently. Directly when possible.
If it is sent off after Election Day, then it needs a postmark, I expect.
The left has bypassed all this anyhow. “Ballot Boxes”, sprinkled far and wide. No chain of custody no post office, just stuff them with phony baloney ballots.
——
The patronage system wasn’t perfect, but it had some notable advantages. The Chief Executive SHOULD be able to hire and fire at will.
That’s kind of the whole point. Leftists tend to treat these things as flaws, rather than features.
“The Electoral College is Undemocratic!”
No Shit. That was the very purpose, ya dumb bint.
Incidentally they hate the US Senate perhaps worse than the EC. That will take a little longer to get rid of, so it’s on the back burner for now. You’ll see.

153 Mail-in ballots should be prohibited in federal elections, with very few and specific exceptions (e.g., military personnel overseas, etc.). The founders would be aghast at the idea of mail-in ballots, as they are so obviously open to massive fraud.
Posted by: Angzarr the Cromulent
Eh, the Founders were comfortable with boozy election parties and rounding up people to go and vote. At the time, there was no voter registration so you often had people voting who were foreigners, out of jurisdiction, etc. and many times duplicate votes. Property requirements were often ignored and so on. Fraudulent elections have always been with us from the get go. As new tech came around, the extension of how to commit fraud has broadened.
Edgar Allen Poe died after being swept up with a group of floaters who went from precinct to precinct in urban areas to cast votes multiple times. That was in the 1840's in Baltimore for example. Voter Registration did not come in to pass until the Progressive era around the turn of the 20th century.

Republicans don't mind fraud partly because that's how a number of them got through primaries.
The claim is made that primary electorates tend to be more "extreme" because committed left/right wing voters will go vote and modern occasional voters will not.
And this is certainly backed up in Dem primaries. But R primaries oddly often show no matter how poorly incumbents poll and are hated by rightwing voters they find enough votes to win.
Certainly an...interesting...pattern in the data.

That MS logic can be applied everywhere, though. If legit difficulty in mailing votes is a reason to allow late-arriving ballots, then that would apply to every state in the country. The test can't be whether there are alligators or not.

There was at least one election when the ballots were delayed and sent to overseas military personnel so late that they could not possibly be returned by election day. Of course this benefited the Democrats.
IIRC the Dem SoS in the state where that happened argued she didn't have to count them legally and so she didn't.

Only when states have chosen to rely on the postal service, though.
States can make a different choice. They made the choice to rely on an agency that is not in state control.
This is not surprising. Dems are execrable at planning and administering and governing and it's no surprise that, as everything else, they thoroughly fucked up on elections too.

> Edgar Allen Poe died after being swept up with a group of floaters who went from precinct to precinct in urban areas to cast votes multiple times.
I don't think that's known with certainty. We know he disappeared for 5-6 days and was discovered on election day. He was found in secondhand clothes which were not his. Poe couldn't explain what happened. He was in and out of consciousness and observed to be hallucinating by the doctors who attended him.
"Cooping" is a popular theory. Gangs would kidnap people, get them drunk, beat them into compliance, and send them to multiple polling places to vote. They would sometimes re-dress the victims as a disguise.
He may have been severely drunk and or on drugs. He may have been attacked and suffered a brain injury. He may have suffered some other medical event like a suicide attempt or even hypoglycemia.

Yeah, the fact that I get relatively bad gas mileage because I chose to drive a full-size car (and mostly in city traffic) is baked into the cake. I'd still bitch if I was paying California prices for gas, but I'm not.

And if they (union officers) pulled it off, it's worth looking at the postal inspectors, too.

Problem is that the GOP still wants to reach around the aisle bullshit so GOPe politicians can make a buck from Uncle Sam scams.
Same with Justices on Scotus, namely ACB and Roberts. Roberts as Chief Justice has a wife who recruits for top law firms in the DC area and gets paid massively to do it. Severe conflict of interest. ACB was a law professor and that often warps the brain into trying to square circles.

there's no doubt in my mind that certain actions were taken by the fed's governors for the purpose of politically hindering trump and bolstering his opposition. that's bad, of course, and one might think that a proper resolution would be to eliminate the fed's independence and put it under the purview of the executive.
...but then one imagines, for only a fraction of a second, the piles of money that would have been printed as giveaways to political allies and acolytes during t he biden junta, and one immediately realises that the fed ought to remain independent at all costs.

Cooping" is a popular theory. Gangs would kidnap people, get them drunk, beat them into compliance, and send them to multiple polling places to vote.

If we can't get bright red states to get their shit together and not allow obviously-fraudulent late-arriving fake ballots, then we have little hope on this issue at all.

There was a reason for it, though, and if you have been to rural Mississippi, you can suss out the logic. By the way, Mr. NYC, Esquire, in both Al and MS there are mail routes that can only be accessed by boat. I live quite near one of these towns. Your mailbox is on your pier. Next to the alligator. I think the point was to ensure people like this aren’t disenfranchised.
That said, the post mark thing is a little narrowing of this law. The rest of the fix is in the hands of our congresscritters.
Posted by: Piper at June 29, 2026 12:43 PM (OoFl2)
We allow mail in ballots for military because duh, they're American citizens who are often overseas. Could the MS legislature define certain zones of Postal Difficulty, which per your description, sound like they would lean more American and less commie? Not that I'm holding my breath, but imagine the shrieking it would cause.

234 Congress should go back to old absentee ballot standard. If you can't show up at the polling place , you need a good reason. Reasons include being paralyzed, serving on the military etc. Mail in ballots whenever received or mailed are a recipe for fraud

And that is the crux of the matter, Scotus is reluctant to fix what the political branches ignore. It has never been a savior of the Republic, but Congress has to power to stop that shit in federal elections at least. And every state government should have voters concerned enough to stop it.

However it was suppressed that year, it's still a case that even if "elections can be rigged" (in general) you should "bother to vote".
It shouldn't need the complete absence of rigging elections that spurs a civically conscious person to vote.

Especially when there are 65 voter registrations from an empty lot with a pair of port-a-potties on it.
The left doesn't even speak in terms of people casting votes any more. Its now 'ballots' and 'votes' because they know there is no eligible voter behind that mail in ballot. And SCOTUS just validated that.

Hitler was such a gift the Democrat party that if he hadn't existed they'd have had to invent him.
Right? I'm imagining a movie where someone does the time machine / kill Hitler thing and comes back to discover the Democrat Party disbanded in 1958 as a result.

Reading glasses have been around in some form since the 13th century believe it or not, and it wasn't until the mid-20th century that their design moved beyond pure utilitarianism to fashion accessories.

The death of USAID and Democrat illegal funding might break the unnatural logjam of a 50/50 house and senate that gives RINOs and Dems political cover for doing bad things or nothing forever. If Congress starts taking action, the Senate can be dragged along to not look bad. In Trumps first term the RINOs sabotaged themselves to avoid a majority.
