The Morning Rant
New York's Democratic Socialist Party Mayor Zohran Mamdani thinks that these special programs that elevate some kids over others based on talent and gifts are an abomination and need to end. Catering to the lowest common denominator in education, the workplace, and government is how socialists keep everything nice and equal — equally mediocre, at least.NYers raise a stink over trash buildup as 'limited collection' continues 7 days after winter storm: 'It's disgusting' Cold Death Toll Hits 17 as Deep Freeze Continues It doesn't really matter that only about a quarter of eligible voters bothered to vote in the mayoral election. Not voting is a decision just like voting for one's preferred candidate. NYC got what it wanted, and the consequences of that will reverberate for the next four years. Gutting the cream of the public schools because too few blacks and other pressure groups can get their kids into those schools is absolutely expected, but will be a painful surprise to the willing fools who voted for Mamdani. Decaying public service (and it was bad before!) was baked into Mamdani's policy cake, but far too few people actually spent the time to figure out what those policies were. Actual death! That wasn't in his campaign speeches, but anybody who didn't expect this is a fool. New York City will enjoy four years of chaos, hyper-politicized administrative decisions that bolster Mamdani's political beliefs but penalize NYC, an increasingly vicious tone directed against Jews, Christians, Whites, the well-off, and anyone else who doesn't fit neatly into the top of the grievance hierarchy. Hopefully they will leave, and NYC will cascade into insolvency, because the top of the grievance hierarchy doesn't pay taxes! And even if NYC can muddle through without a financial catastrophe, the quality of life will decay significantly, and it will take a generation to repair it. Just take a look at how long the horror of the 1970s and 1980s took to be banished! And that's assuming that there will be a tax base to finance it, and that is by no means a given. So...visit NYC if you want, because it won't be better than it is today for a very long time, and there is a long, dark night coming! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter].

Trump already provided a Huge Drop in Crime, so if he now pulls back ICE from the big cities, they can enjoy a resurgence in crime of all sorts. Maybe that is the planned narrative for the coming critical elections, idk.
Will big city officials really turn their criminal illegals over to ICE when they serve their prison time? Red States will cooperate and continue to improve, Blue States will reap the whirlwind?

They only have to relearn lessons when the previous generation works to erase them.

I thought she was busy making that man-hating dreck show with Kim Kardashian. Also, she's hit the wall, and she transed her own kid(s). I refuse to say anything positive about such a person.
She was never all that to begin with. She's one of those women who looked passable in movies because the makeup crew really knew their stuff.

$20k? You're dreaming. Here in NoVa/DC, private Episcopal schools can be upwards of $45k...for kindergarten. No, I'm not kidding. My daughter was looking into it.
Here's the Madeira School, home of prizewinning shot Jean Harris.
For the 2025-2026 academic year, The Madeira School tuition is
$74,500 for boarding students and $58,000 for day students. These fees are comprehensive, covering instruction and, for boarders, housing and meals. Additional costs may include an international student fee, transportation, and special activities
But at least the cost is, you know, comprehensive, except for the additional costs.

Funny thing...I've seen several large, but non-specifically political, YouTuber mention AWFLs recently, but they all say "AWFUL", with "urban" as the "U". Just a weird trend that came out of no where. "Urban" is probably more accurate, as white rural women tend to be more conservative.

Many of them do! There are a few dozen excellent schools, obviously in hip and well-off neighborhoods. But as that changes, their tax bills go up, and they see the cost of private schools skyrockets, they will move to my town, get into a bidding war for my house, and I will smile all the way to the bank.

Nope. It won't be enough.
Seattle has a payroll tax (because only employers pay a payroll tax, LOL).
The Washington state legislature is planning a much larger state payroll tax, but employers in Seattle would be allowed to deduct the Seattle payroll tax from their state payroll tax bill.
They are literally proposing to tax Seattle less than everyone else in Washington.

But the term isn’t applicable to conservative women. It’s Affluent White Female Liberal. Whether urban or rural or suburban . Plenty of despicable AWFLs in red areas. It’s not a geographic description it’s a state of mind. Adding the U makes it seem like it’s only an urban problem when in fact it’s an everywhere problem.

90% of all voting behavior is self-starting. People deciding "Okay, I'm going to go vote now."
The last 10% is, at best, GOTV efforts.
It gets worse when you feel like your vote doesn't matter.
It's a problem that people in the highest levels of politics have been trying to solve since voting became a thing.
I wish I knew how to fix it. I could sell the solution to a political party.

One of my buddies had an older sister whom I had a BIG crush on. A group of us went down to Lake Mead to do some cliff diving -- and after I took off my socks, this gorgeous lass jokingly says to me for everyone to hear "Hey, why don't you take off your socks?" as I was tanned everywhere but pure white from the knees down.

Charles Willson Peale
Oil on canvas
The American Experience in the Classroom (PDF file)
In 1776 the American colonies were fighting to establish their independence from Great Britain. Campbell leans toward his grandmother, eager to show her what he has learned. He holds The Art of Speaking, a manual of rhetoric and oratorical study. Oratory, the art of formal public speaking, was a highly prized skill in colonial America, particularly for men hoping to enter politics or law. Campbell rests his finger on the famous soliloquy “To be, or not to be” from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Peale’s choice to have the book open to this passage can be interpreted in multiple ways. Perhaps the artist wished to allude to family aspirations for Campbell’s future — whether or not his education would prepare him for a career in law or politics.
When we consider that the artwork was painted in Philadelphia in 1776, an added layer of meaning is revealed. “To be, or not to be” could refer to revolutionary ideals for a new nation. Peale, who was a lieutenant in the Philadelphia city militia, was well aware of the instability of the republic. .."
👍 A good lesson.

Wolfus,
I've noticed that. Those 1950s westerns, especially Have Gun, Will Travel, had actors who became well known. The roles were deep, even for a half hour show, and the actors were excellent at showing that depth. The difference between those roles and what became standard later is notable. I put a few episodes of Man From UNCLE and early Star Trek in that picture.
PS: I think HG,WT was one of the best shows ever on television.

You no doubt understood that your job was to contribute to your employer's profitability, as normal people do. These journalists have cast themselves as heroic truthtellers and changemakers -- mere profitability is forgotten, or maybe even vulgar to them. Worse, they believe their political/cultural crusades should be funded by the rich owner at $100 million loss per year.
Also, their going on social media to announce their every thought and feeling about this is hilarious. Did any of us who have been laid off think the work absolutely needed to know the details of the even, with status reports and group affirmation online? They are self-absorbed children.

I'm sorry that the primary calendar makes it nearly impossible to rig the primary for Democrat power brokers, but it does.
They barely managed it in 2016 when the super delegates had actual power. They outright failed in 2020 and had to settle with Biden.
They have to either cancel the primary or go to a one day all at once thing to rig it.
Because once Kamala wins SC by 50 points, 90% of the rest of the field drops away.

The new Lefty hotness is Trump is less popular than Biden:
A January survey from Harvard University and The Harris Poll found that a slight majority of respondents believe that former President Biden was more effective than President Trump.
We’re a little behind schedule on the descent into absolute fascism thanks in part to the resilience of places like Minneapolis.
49% thinks what is taking place now is better than the previous administration. 49% Think about that before you hear, or state yourself, that it is a small and shrinking MAGA base. It's absolutely terrifying, and a cult.
The real question is whether those 49% even get a picture of what's happening. Your news/entertainment industry is proper fucked, nearly russian state TV levels of brainwash.

Carter and his team did their homework on how to work everything. A guy named Pat Caudell was on that, he enjoyed unfettered access to the Oval Office despite not having any particular appointment. He worked for Mr. Trump in 2016, subsequently passed away.
I recall Mrs. Clinton was a lock for 2008 until Iowa. All my progressive cow-orkers working that were gobsmacked she got beat by the Obama machine. They had it all gamed out, bussing in “supporters” from out of state. Never knew what hit them.

Kamala's probably a worthwhile bet.
Mostly because the Democrat Party can't afford to piss off Black women and AWFLs.
Buuuuuut, inconvenient people in the Democrat Party do tend to have fatal accidents, so that's always a possibility, if Their Betters are Convinced she'll auger in the whole party with her run.

A federal judge who authored a piece in the Atlantic claiming that he was resigning from the federal bench because of the Trump White House's "assault on the rule of law" was under investigation for misconduct at the time of his resignation.
"The order did not provide details about the alleged misconduct but stated it could include "treating litigants, attorneys, judicial employees or others in a demonstrably egregious and hostile manner" or creating a hostile workplace for court employees. Judge Barron ultimately concluded that further action was unnecessary because of "intervening events."

I just don't understand how anyone can look back at 2016 and 2020 and say, "The Democrat establishment is really good at forcing their primary preferences on the primary electorate."
They almost failed in 2016 when they cleared the field for Hillary. They turned a backwoods Senator into a superstar instead and had to cheat to beat him.

Sure, you can say black voters (and especially women) are critical in Dem voting...but there are bound to be other "candidates of color" in the 2028 dem primaries, and if the party wants, they can mobilize black voters to support a white candidate (see Joe Biden, 2020). Kamala is not popular with the Dem Establishment OR the base. She's a loser, which is why a bitter Biden left her as candidate as a poison pill.

Yeah. 10 years ago, and then the next election cycle, they had to cycle between chosen establishment preferences (Kamala to Bet to Warren to Buttigieg) before they had to settle with Biden (whom Obama told not to run).
10 years ago, when they were more powerful to the point that they could clear the field for a preferred candidate, they barely did it. 6 years ago, they couldn't clear the field, and they failed to choose their preferred candidate.

No, they didn't expect Sanders to become a superstar. They had to actually make the DNC weaker in response to his near win. Super delegates went from being able to choose whom they wanted on the first ballot at the convention to only being able to vote their conscience on the second ballot because the Sanders fans were so pissed at what happened, especially in the face of the general election loss.

The Morning Report — 2/5/26
Good morning kids. As the spouse is going into hospital this morning for a scheduled surgical procedure, I'll have to keep it short and sweet (if you could call it that). . . The assault on the rule of law and the fomenting and leveraging of violence and terrorism for political gain by the Democrat Party and its base and operatives in and out of government continues with the epicenter now in Minneapolis and likely to metastasize into a firestorm that will sweep the nation, especially as warmer weather approaches and especially the midterm election push gets into full swing. As history dictates, and should be obvious there can be no parlaying with an intractable enemy that seeks our destruction. And instead of marshaling every possible uniformed agent we can to utterly crush what can only be now described as an armed insurgency and insurrection that seeks not only the prevention of enforcement of federal immigration law but in point of fact, the effective overthrow of the federal government. And yet President Trump has decided that he needs to make concessions to those that if given half the chance would string him up on a lamp post. I mean that quite literally.
Negotiating with terrorists, whether Islamic in Iran or Gaza, or Marxist/Islamic in America, doesn’t bring peace, it shows weakness and then the terrorism never ends and neither do the negotiations. Ceding on ICE won’t buy peace. And it won’t even change the topic or end the violence. There are very good arguments for why this administration should make domestic kitchen table economics its larger focus. If it doesn’t do that, the midterm situation may be catastrophic. But it can do that and fulfill core responsibilities like national defense. Immigration was a major reason, perhaps the biggest reason that Trump is here, because it embodies national survival. We can and should kick the can down the road on some global issues which have been too much the focus lately, but this is a primal issue which is why the Democrats have gone to the mattresses on it and why retreating on it would be a mistake. Illegal aliens are the political power behind the ghost districts that Dems use to rig elections and maintain outsized political influence. That’s why it’s the one battle they can’t afford to lose.The theft of the 2020 election, and everything that made the theft possible primarily both the Fauci/Chi-Com biowarfare, lockdowns, erasure of the most basic election voting integrity measures, and the George Floyd race riots that resulted from it and the J-6 Pelosi/Deep State-engineered J-6 fake "insurrection" put a giant sucking wound into the heart of whatever remains of our Republic as it is, but what we are witnessing here and now really is for all the marbles. They know it, and are surely acting like it and we better start doing the same right now, or else I fear that we are a dead nation walking . . . mostly right off a cliff. Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

I could see where Minneapolis might have really gone south and created a huge problem for the administration.
But, I also think the various media outlets are parsing what they're telling the public about what is, and what isn't the situation in MN. I think ICE is still there, will continue to be there and will continue to round up illegals there. Maybe without all the fanfare.
Bigger issue continues to be the judiciary and their horseshit.

Mike Benz is now arguing that the EU will succeed in crushing free speech in the US by conspiring to hit the social media platforms with bankruptcy levels of coordinated fines and penalties for not exercising hard core censorship.
Big Tech is expected to comply with the EU demands and the Left is confident that the 95% of the voting public who represent those who don't care one whit about the political theater we here immerse ourselves in, will be blissfully unaware of the outright fraud and corruption that has led them to barely getting by.

I'm mildly optimistic about it. The Southern wing of the GOP is not going to be as easy to control for him as it was for McConnell and Barbour, so they will stymie him occasionally, and force him to spread his bribes thinner.
And as bad as McConnell was, he was highly effective during his intermittent stints as America's most powerful Democrat. I don't think Thune has the brains or the influence to deliver for the Dems like he could.
I think the Dems will be weaker in the Thune regnancy, with less ability to determine events.

That is the public bullshit to deal with petty feelings of squishes and cat collectors, maybe a little over a third being deported are actually part of the "worst of the worst".

That is one hell of a spin to deny Trump policies reducing inflation and supply chain / manufacturing costs - like reducing the cost of energy. Then there are a myriad of things that Trump had no influence over, like there being a bumper crop of cereals, and commodity prices for HFCS dropping.
Pepsi and Doritos aren't exactly MAHA or Cost-Conscious compatible items. Maybe with fewer SNAP dollars chasing Most Favored Gluttony Items?

Seriously, did any of us ever expect these people to ever do what's right for the citizens it represents, do what's right for the health and strength of this country of ours? It will never be fixed. They have neither the courage, nor the will, nor the deep concern for America's financial state to ever do anything other than let it all eventually collapse. As long as their bank accounts are stuffed (and they have all become filthy rich off our backs), they are fat and happy, and have no more concern as we lurch further and further left, and further and further on the path to ultimate ruin. Congress will never fix the entitlement problem. They may lose their path to riches...

Until you realize that his enemies carefully game these scenarios out before implementing them, and have at their disposal a raft of data, psychological and otherwise, that they use to strike at Trump and therefore us, you are not fit to try to figure out what he might be up to.
They want and need him to do certain things and sometimes he will pick an escape route they thought they had blocked off. It's what he does, and it's how he keeps us and our movement in front of them instead of falling way behind. It is nowhere near a fair fight, Trump just makes it look like one.

Problem was, the Walz administration and other third parties went on the attack as crybullies. Getting the rank and file to do stupid, dangerous, and even deadly stunts all in the name of "Virtue", as they defined it. So we've been bogged down in weeks of ICE vs. protestors, with the state actively protecting the criminals and threatening to jail (or *wink* *wink* *murder*) federal agents.
And those weeks means the actual fraudsters, whom the state of Minnesota were helping to get away with their crimes, basically were lost in the news from the Fifth Column.
So, take the wins so far on that end, dial it back, then send in the IRS instead. Audit them from the anus to the teeth. We're probably not getting the money back. But we need to stop the bleeding, and identify the human cancers that enabled the theft and fraud.

Now all but a small number of the craziest anti-ICE peaceful protestors in ultra-close proximity to ICE officers, will wear PRESS- or LEGAL OBSERVER-blazoned clothing or large patches.
For optics, the left still needs a few 'unaffiliated local grassroots peaceful protestors' on the forward edge of the riot area. Who if chased by ICE will retreat into a very-nearby group of fake-press and fake-legal observers, who Tish and Antifa hope ICE will beat into pulp.

The last sentence is pure outrage-incitement propaganda. He and Walz never give any specific reasons why ICE outnumbering Minneapolis PD is, as they imply, bad. So the hell what if one group of law enforcement outnumbers another. Are they in gun battles with each other for control of the entire city? Do smaller towns and cities complain when after some heinous local crimes, FBI, ATF, and other FED LEO outnumber their cops?

Hi Salty, please stop passing huge blocks of cold air along to us south of you!
Artemis 2 will eventually launch. But the latest hydrogen gas leaks are inexcusable in my judgement. If the troops in Florida couldn't make a fix in over two years after the leaks on Artemis 1, it's pathetic. I cannot recall H2 leaks at the pad-rocket fueling interface delaying launch during Shuttle Program, If there were some, it wasn't many and none in the final 10 years of Shuttle.
H2 sealing at cryogenic temperatures is not rocket science. It's been done successfully in industry and spaceflight for many decades.

In January 2025, initial jobless claims in the U.S. totaled 209,000 for the week ending January 24.
I think Jan is always a high month as people look at the year budget and decide they did not need that second assistant bookkeeper.

Fraud exposed in Maine: $45.6 million in ‘improper payments’ discovered in just ONE YEAR from ONE PROGRAM
“According to multiple reports — African immigrants who do not speak English in many cases and have no experience in health care are allegedly stealing millions of taxpayer dollars from the state by taking a 50-hour course to care for elderly Americans and then billing the government”
“Home care agencies that are essentially just PO boxes that send invoices to the Department of Health and Human Services and get paid — we also have the residential care facilities where actual houses are being operated under the guise of providing care for disabled adults”
“Maine improperly billed $46 million worth of Medicaid payments to the federal government and this was one program.”

We need to somehow transition from standing together as a community into standing together as a country. Minneapolis is a spark of hope, I just hope it can catch on everywhere.

I believe Trump is a compassionate man and choses to make personal phone calls often, not just in high profile cases.

Recall singer Jennifer Hudson [from 11/11/2008]:
In the wake of her family tragedy, Jennifer Hudson has received a helping hand from a very unlikely source — Donald Trump.
Hudson and some of her family members have been staying at the Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago, and Trump has been picking up the tab.
According to E! Online, Hudson has been staying at the hotel since arriving in Chicago on Oct. 24, the day her mother, Darnell Donerson, and brother, Jason Hudson, were found murdered, and her nephew, Julian King, was found missing. Since checking into the hotel, the Oscar winner and former “American Idol” star has rarely left the hotel.
Jennifer has gone on to actively campaign for every Democrat running against Trump.

@EricLDaugh
HOLY SMOKES. Tom Homan just revealed Minnesota counties are LETTING ICE INTO THE JAILS to arrest illegals, "unprecedented" cooperation is now happening
They caved. Illegals are being arrested instead of being released into Minnesota. This is HUGE, Tom Homan did it!
"We currently have an unprecedented number of counties communicating with us now and allowing ICE to take custody of illegal aliens before they hit the streets!"
"Unprecedented cooperation. Now say it again, this is efficient, requires only one or two officers to assume custody of a criminal alien target rather than eight or ten officers going into the community and arresting that public safety threat."
"This frees up more officers to arrest or remove criminal aliens. More officers taking custody of criminal aliens directly from the jails means less officers on the street doing criminal operations."
"This is smart law enforcement, not less law enforcement. It's safer for the community, safer for the officers, and safer for the alien. This coordination also makes it far more safe for the Twin Cities."

Always the best links. But another article, unrelated, also caught my eye.
1st a bit of background -
Washington Examiner, Jan 27 - Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) calls Vice President JD Vance a "sycophant"...
Occupy Democrats, Jan. 9, 2026, Breaking: Pennsylvania's beloved Governo Josh Shapiro incinerates "weak human being" JD Vance for his disgusting attacks on ICE shooting victim Renee Good.
NBC News, Jan. 8, 2026, Josh Shapiro accuses JD Vance of giving 'comfort' to right-wing antisemitism
Shapiro on twitter: (While citing the Bulwark) JD Vance thinks he can convince the people of Pennsylvania to unsee the rising prices at the grocery store and the layoffs that are a direct result of the Trump-Vance policies. But Pennsylvanians are a whole lot smarter than JD Vance gives us credit for.
YouTube WTAE-TV Pittsburgh, 2 months ago, Pennsylvania's Gov. Josh Shapiro rips JD Vance, Trump administration over SNAP...
It has always seemed, Gov. Shapiro's job is to knock JD Vance out of contention for the next Presidential election, but much of the Left compares (it's all theater imo) Shapiro to Obama.

In part, "Any Democratic politician who is not prepared to be merciless is unworthy of support.

'Temple student charged in church protest'
In part, "A 21-year old Temple University student was arrested Monday on charges that he conspired with nine other people, including journalist Don Lemon, to interfere with the First Amendment rights of worshipers during a Jan. 18 anti-ICE protest at a church in St. Paul, Minn."
...
"Before his arrest, Richardson shared a video online in which he said he feared for his safety and needed help to pay legal bills.
Richardson said he assisted Lemon "by helping with logistics and connecting him with local contacts."
Don was reporting on the situation," Richardson said, adding he was proud to help.
"As a consequence of this support, I am now being targeted by Trump and the federal administration." Richardson said, adding that he was proud of the other defendants in the case.
"This is the price of being unapologetic about humanity and love of Christ, he said. 🙄

I changed my nic to Fenrisulven twice as a courtesy to her. Not sure why I didn't - oh wait, I remember. I was betrayed by the people I thought I had fought for. And when I asked for their help I was told no one cares go kill yourself. So forgive me if I wasnt feeling the team spirit at the time.
I appreciate you being protective of her but it's not necessary. She says jump, I jump. That said, she shouldn't have to ask. You can even tell her you took care of that Fen character for her (I hear chicks dig that)
You will have to pay for your insolence though. I'm thinking pistols and swords at a convenient MoMe? I know rapier so choose guns. Maybe we could do paint pellets, do a whole skit, learn to curse each other in French? It'll be fun

Daily Tech News 5 February 2026
Top Story
- Can Chinese memory save us from the RAM crisis? (WCCFTech)
The article points out limitations of current Chinese DRAM production: It's slower than the best chips from the Big Three, uses more power, and is produced on an older technology node, making it larger and more expensive to manufacture.
I think, for example, that CXMT in China and Nanya in Taiwan are both limited to 16Gbit chips, well short of Micron's 32Gbits.
But who cares if it's slower and uses more power and take a little more space on the module which is module-sized anyway, if you can actually buy it?
Can you buy it?
Well, no. But it's the thought that counts.
Tech News
- AMD has confirmed that the Steam Machine will ship early this year. (WCCFTech)
The pricing may not be what people have hoped, even those who adjusted their expectations to match the awful new reality delivered by OpenAI.
Also, the processor for the next-gen Xbox will be in production next year. The Xbox itself is an open question.
- NASA has acknowledged that the SLS is kind of a failure. (Ars Technica)
The article goes into the awful details:The first launch attempt (effectively the fifth wet-dress test), in late August, was scrubbed due to hydrogen leaks and other problems. A second attempt, a week later, also succumbed to hydrogen leaks. Finally, on the next attempt, and seventh overall try at fully fueling and nursing this vehicle through a countdown, the Space Launch System rocket actually took off. After doing so, it flew splendidly.
Eric Berger is the token sane man at Ars Technica.
That was November 16, 2022. More than three years ago. You might think that over the course of the extended interval since then, and after the excruciating pain of spending nearly an entire year conducting fueling tests to try to lift the massive rocket off the pad, some of the smartest engineers in the world, the fine men and women at NASA, would have dug into and solved the leak issues.
You would be wrong.
- Solar Winds in the server room with a lead pipe. (Bleeping Computer)
Solar Winds - a very widespread network management system - has just patched a flurry of horrible security flaws. The latest one is a remote code execution bug, joining a hardcoded authentication nightmare and two authentication bypass holes.
SolarWinds was the epicentre of a massive supply-chain attack in 2020, and related suspicions of insider trading when executives sold stock after the breach was detected but before it was announced. I don't think anything was ever proven there, though.
- Another review of Intel's new Panther Lake laptop chips, in a new laptop. (Ars Technica)
Which has two screens.
Panther Lake appears to be genuinely good, with solid CPU performance and best-in-class integrated graphics.
Shame about the RAM-and-SSD crisis making laptops unaffordable right now.

Yep, LH2 is very tricky to handle. Both the Saturn V and the Space shuttle had many problems with leaks.
The 3rd stage, known as the S-IVB, sprung a bad leak on a replenish value on the Apollo 11 flight just as the astronauts were headed to the pad to board the CM.
It was almost a show stopper. They ended up bypassing that valve and keeping the tank replenished by manually feathering the main fill valve, which was pretty tricky to do.

That reminds me, a while back, on the night of a lunar eclipse, beforehand the Moon did noticeably shimmer one time. My mother and Miley were out looking, and they noticed it shimmering, and I went out and sure enough it was. It was quite striking, but settled down soon.

I read The Once and Future King many years ago. All I can recall is the chilling little scene where Merlin turns Arthur into an ant, and he sees the totalitarian, programmed-from-birth nature of an ant colony: "Everything not compulsory is forbidden."
White had been an actor? I did not know that. I always recommend doing some amateur theatre as an important experience for an aspiring writer. You gain a tremendous appreciation for the dramatic and for what works on an audience, whether in person or through the written word.

According to his Wiki bio, he wasn't ever an actor. He wrote quite a few novels aside from the Arthurian series, including some science fiction way back in the '30s. He did his college thesis on Malory, though, so he was well prepared to write about Merlin and Arthur.
He lived to see his work adapted as Camelot the musical and as the Disney animated movie The Sword in the Stone.

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - February 4, 2026 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety. Was it time 30 minutes earlier? No, it wasn't.
Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional, but be advised that Virginia applies an additional tax to zippers. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. [Top photo: Bridges of Pittsburgh, Dave DiCello]An archaeological team in Utah exhumed a bottle of alcohol estimated to be 150 years old - and experts gave it a taste test. Ian Wright, Utah's state public archaeologist, said the bottle was among thousands of artifacts dating back to approximately 1870-1890 found on U.S. Forest Service land used by Alta ski resort. Wright said the find is the only known intact bottle of alcohol to be found from the time period. Wright's team enlisted the help of High West, Utah's oldest legal distillery, to analyze the bottle's contents. Isaac Winter, director of distilling at High West, was the first to taste the liquid. "I had a little bit of trepidation going into it, but you have to try it," Winter told FOX 13 Utah. "It didn't smell like gasoline, didn't smell like tobacco spit." He said the flavor is "fruity, there's a little bit of leather, there's quite a bit of age on it." The experts said the liquid appears to be a low-alcohol beer, rather than liquor. They are now hoping to recreate the beverage.

Tourists hoping to get close to the Trevi Fountain had to pay 2 euros ($2.35) starting Monday as the city of Rome inaugurated a new fee structure to help raise money and control crowds at the one of the world's most celebrated waterworks. "Before, there were problems accessing the fountain. There were a lot of people. Now, it's very easy," said Ilhan Musbah, a tourist from Morocco. "You can take photos, you feel good, you're comfortable, and on top of that 2 euros is not much." The tourist fee was rolled out in conjunction with a new 5-euro (nearly $6) tourist ticket fee for some city museums. In both cases, Rome residents are exempt from the fees and the extra revenue will actually expand the number of city-run museums that are free for registered Roman residents. "I think tourists were shocked by the fact that the city of Rome is only asking for 2 euros for a site of this level," Alessandro Onorato, Rome's assessor of tourism, said Monday. "I believe that if the Trevi Fountain were in New York, they would have charged at least $100."
The Wednesday ONT has been approved by Statler and Waldorf. Written correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com. Are you lurking ?? The Washington Post is not reporting on this ONT. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Good evening.
I am thoroughly exhausted and, due to the amount of drugs in my system, I'm not always completely coherent. I experience holes in my memory, which they say will improve , and I'm finally doing some physical therapy, which has been hampered by a severe gout attack.
I was snatched back from the jaws of death and I wander, emotionally, through window to window in absolute amazement at the skill, determination, and compassion on display by those at Mayo Jacksonville.
I am alive. Against all odds, I am alive.
I haven't been able to read all the Twitter posts, and probably won't for a while, because everything exhausts me. I wanted to let you know that I'm doing well and that with the help of God, family, and friends such as you, I will make it.
Thank you for your prayers, for your conversations and inquiries, and for your donations to the gofundme. I told my daughter that the folks here at twitter are amazing people, and she now knows for herself, having read of your concern and compassion.

I love the song from Flashdance and need to play it this summer for my backyard deck dances with our grands! I can't sit still when I hear it. I dance alone while I make dinner and have some wine. Neighbors can't see me due to the trees!
I also love Led Zepplin. Who, boy, Plant was hot back then in jeans. Now not so much.
"Dazed and Confused" should have been my theme song the semester I had psych in nursing school. The professor and head of the nursing department told me I appeared to be in a "fugue state" when I kept declaring I did not understand. Altho I made an A for the course. Everyone laughed, including me, as I was clueless. I hated that semester! My bf/now husband would drive me to a nursing home for chronic psych patients and almost have to kick me out of the car. It was called "Wee Haven." Which is what we named all of our bedrooms. Nightmare.
I hated all psych classes I ever took and it seems like at least 3 others. While I lived with two male psych grad students the year prior, I never asked them to explain it to me because I wasn't interested.
I do wish I had their assessment of my psyche. Or maybe not.I know they discussed me in private.

Jeff Bezos, the billionaire owner of The Washington Post, and Will Lewis, the publisher he appointed at the end of 2023, are embarking on the latest step of their plan to kill everything that makes the paper special. The Post has survived for nearly 150 years, evolving from a hometown family newspaper into an indispensable national institution, and a pillar of the democratic system. But if Bezos and Lewis continue down their present path, it may not survive much longer.

dissects the Hollywood lockstep leftism on display at the Grammys on Sunday:
"If those people started saying, we support Trump, guess who's out? Yeah, you’re f*cking out."
"Whatever the subject, you guys, here's what it is. And this will prevent you from getting kicked out of the club."
"Now we're going to have an award show, and you get up there and whoever praises whatever your policies are the loudest-oh, and by the way, we hate Trump."
"So you got to say something sh*tty about him. And then something great about Black Lives Matter or whatever that thing is."
"Whoever does that the best is going to stay in the club the longest."
"So now you have a decision to make, you know, one of three things. You can either go up there and do ICE out and nobody's illegal. You’ll be fine."
“Or you can go up there and just be neutral, not say anything. But that will make people wonder if you should be in the club."
“Or you can touch that third rail and say you love ICE and love Trump, in which case you're 100% out and you're going to get booed off the stage."

We raised our sons on '70's and '80's rock and roll. Now our grands love these songs. They listen to some current "crap" at times, and our girl knows the words, but I steer them to real music that's more fun and good melodies and lyrics.
A bunch of us 3-11 nurses would go to the gay bar downtown as a group and dance, dance, dance after work. There was one gay x-ray tech who danced with me. Gorgeous guy. Figure he didn't make it.
My bf and other guys would go too and get in free. Sometimes not pleased, but went with us anyway. Wild times!

I do know I am not going to get myself in an uproar over nothing I can control. I do know that a lot are self deporting and who can count all of the little bastids? I want them GONE.
I read of a UK DM reporter who rode with ICE recently, in Minnesomoliland, and ICE got two criminals with no issue. How much is that going on we don't know about?
So far the possible illegal roofers in a rental down the street are still there, but much quieter than last summer. I want to yell ICE sometimes but never see them.
Stuff could be going on we don't know about due to no news propaganda. President Trump could be simply threading the needle with a steady hand.

Actually CPS puts the kids in custody in temporary foster care if there is thought to be a valid threat to them, and then there is an emergency meeting with an Administrative Law Judge, several case workers, and often LE to determine if it is safe for the children to remain at home, and what sort of oversight the family needs.
Of course Multnomah County, so who knows what they consider a threat when ideology is more important that children's lives.

You have the order wrong. Trump had a great win in Minnesota, which allowed him to remove ICE agents. I know it's difficult to follow simple cause and effect with such a miniscule cranial capacity, but you should try to put more effort into assessing the world as it is.

Honestly, for me, it's a mixed bag. I loved the steel mill scenes, the bar and the wedding/church scenes. Cimino shot the mill scenes in Mingo Junction and the bar scenes in the bar/bowling alley that my workmates and I frequented. Most of the extras in that were me and my buddies. (Free lunch and beer!!) The wedding and reception scenes were shot, iirc, in a Russian Orthodox church in the Cleveland area with a ton of locals. That part feels like home.
Much of the rest is 'eh'. I don't like Meryl Streep playing herself in any of her films. Always liked John Cazale and George Dzundza though.

Perfectly proves my point. I know this explanation won't help any, considering your lacking any type of comprehension skills, but, here goes;
Trump already got Minnesota to start cooperating with ICE allowing pick ups directly from county jails, meaning they can now safely send two guys to do a quick pick up of a prisoner already in custody instead of sending teams of agents into residential neighborhoods to look for these people after they are released.
It also allows us to have 700 agents picking up illegals in other areas of the country.

Security Alert: U.S. Embassy Havana, Cuba – February 3, 2026
Cuba’s national electrical grid is increasingly unstable and prolonged scheduled and unscheduled power outages are a daily occurrence across the country to include Havana. Outages affect water supply, lighting, refrigeration and communications.
There is also a shortage of fuel affecting transportation and resulting in long lines at gas stations. While some businesses, hotels, and hospitals use generators during power outages, they may not be able to maintain their services due to fuel shortages. Take precautions by conserving fuel, water, food and mobile phone charge, and be prepared for significant disruption. U.S. citizens in Cuba or planning to travel to Cuba are advised that there have been incidents of U.S. citizens being denied entry upon arrival as well as a spike in regime-sponsored protest activity directed at the United States, including anti-U.S. rhetoric.

Homan explained it like this...
Previously, ICE would require 5-6 agents to apprehend the criminals. Now that the local authorities are cooperating with ICE, they only require 2 agents.
Resulting in a reduction in ICE agents needed. Makes sense to me.

Cuba has solar and wind but the majority of the grid is powered by Soviet era power plants that run off of Venezuelan bunker fuel. The USN seizing the tankers that would drop off partial loads put a crimp in that, and Pres Scheinbaum of MX decided to not to supply Havana with any oil at the moment, so the grid is going down. They don't have money to buy oil from anywhere else, and no other supplier will take promises and Cuban Pesos.
So they are readily steaming into Destination F___ed

I have to give a shoutout here to my 66 Audio headphones, which identify to Bluetooth as 66 BT Sport. (My laptop did not come with BT, but that was easily solved with a cheap little USB dongle.) They have remained supremely comfortable for very long computer sessions for many years, a fact that I credit to their being designed for jogging and then used behind a desk.
So, they're very small and light, with a stiff little band that goes discretely behind the neck, and very comfortable little pads for the ears -- very open, not even remotely isolating, but you can't have everything and it was probably designed that way on purpose (for jogging safety). It's quieter for others than speakers, for sure.
The sound quality is sufficient that I don't notice it one way or another, which is good enough for me. I'm not trying to mix a recording here, just listen to music or watch a video. And it's nice to be untethered from the computer, free to walk around, but without hot, heavy cans on my head. Oh, and they're inexpensive too. Two thumbs up!

This car won't be getting inspected. But with a standard transmission, having a working parking brake is nice. And the mechanism in the rear drums is good, as are the jacketed cables going forward to the frame points. Now the dash handle and its short cable have been made good.

The FCC has accepted SpaceX’s filing for a new non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) system of up to one million satellites, and is now seeking comments.
“This satellite system will represent the first step towards becoming a Kardashev II-level civilization - one that can harness the Sun's full power," according to SpaceX.

The vast majority of musicians flat out just can't step off the train. Once it's in your blood there's nothing you can do. Its part of your being. I know, I'm living it. I still play 3-4 hours a day, still buy guitars, amps, etc. I try to stay current. I still jam with people, jump up on stage if a friend's bands are playing, and if I find another good situation, I'm gone. I used to wonder about the big bands, how much frigging money do you need. Retire already. The truth is..they can't.

I think that is a huge looming liability for owners of AI. The Trump situation is trivial since it’s been talked about so much by everyone - but sooner or later an AI is going to give out information that results in someone’s death, and there will be a huge precedent setting wrongful death lawsuit to come out of it.
If a jury decides to give a victim’s family $100 million out of some Big Corporation, that will focus everyone’s mind on making sure that AI is truthful.

Anyone who helped move dirty money is about to get TORCHED.
For once, the IRS is being deployed FOR AMERICANS FIRST — not against working families.
Follow the money.

I have to change my expansion tank on the boiler tomorrow if I can find one. There was a little water on the floor around the boiler, so I knocked on the pipe coming from the pressure release valve and water sprinkled out. I figured thats where it came from and put a small bucket under the pipe. Sure as shit when I got home there was water in the bucket and floor was dry. I knocked on the expansion tank *thud* like it was filled with sand. Not a good sign. Checked the schrader valve and a little water came out. Yup, toast. I got a shut off valve in the line to it, so it won't take much longer than changing a light bulb, but now I have to go out and search for one.

You won't find it at lowes or home depot, not that I would want anything they sold when its important. I have to hit a plumbing supply thats about 10 miles from here. I'll call first and see what they got, I would think they have to have one. If not I have to order it. I found a bell and gosset like I have now online for $100, but I would rather not wait, but they are supposedly very good. Plumbing supply usually always has good stuff, so I'll see what they got.

Sorry to be so late - I got a notification today that the Barry Manilow concert we were going to be attending on our Vegas trip in 2 weeks has been cancelled, so I have been trying to decide what to see in lieu of that. I'm really bummed, because I was looking forward to seeing him one last time, but the man IS recovering from lung cancer surgery, and he is in his 80's, so "It's a Miracle" that he is still performing at all.
We settled on the Cirque du Soleil show "O" at the Bellagio - looks intriguing, and we were able to get primo seats AND dinner at a restaurant at the resort with premium seating to see the fountain show for less than what we originally paid for the Manilow concert by itself.
Still bummed, though - I am one of the original Fanilow girls from way back when....

Banking is very heavily regulated. If there was large amounts of money going through, anyone not reporting will be in trouble. Massive fraud only happens when someone does not 'notice' it. Looking the other way only works when there is not someone wanting to find out where the money came from and where it is going. There is now someone interested in finding out.

"For 19 minutes she fought for every breath, fought to survive. How terrified these young women were to be r*ped and m*rdered. How about THAT?"
"How about we educate these children on President Trump making his country safe again? How about we educate the children on the last administration half a million children were smuggled in this country, they lost track of 300,000 of them, and President Trump found 145,000 of them!"
"145,000 children the last administration wasn't even LOOKING for. Why don't we talk about the quarter million Americans died from fentanyl across the open border?"
"Why don't we talk about the record number of known suspected terrorists across that border? Or the historic increase in s*x trafficking in women and children?"
"Let's talk about that. President Trump's saving lives every day!"

You'll come back a changed person. lol Booze? They drank the frigging ship dry before it left port. Started boarding at 11am, by 4-5pm we got delayed on our departure because they needed an emergency resupply. Drank...the..ship...dry. You know how hard that is to do? I talked to the captain one time. Flat out said it was his favorite cruise. They sell more booze in those 4 days than they do in 6-7 weeks of normal cruises combined. His exact words- No fights, nobody in the brig, no complaints, everybody has a great time, the crew is volunteer, and they break all booze records.

A Portland woman will serve three years in prison for a drunk-driving crash that claimed the life of her 5-year-old daughter.
Amber Gonzalez-Riddle was behind the wheel in November 2022 when she crossed the centerline on Highway 58, colliding head-on with another vehicle. Her two children were in the backseat. Court records reveal that the 5-year-old was wearing a seat belt across her lap but was not in a booster seat when she died as a result of the crash.
Gonzalez-Riddle confessed to investigators that she consumed two malt liquors, a shot of tequila, and smoked marijuana before driving. Witnesses reported seeing Gonzalez-Riddle driving at speeds up to 80 mph and passing in no-passing zones without tail or brake lights. State police discovered several malt liquor and beer cans at the scene
Court records indicate that while awaiting trial, Gonzalez-Riddle entered a marijuana shop wearing an ankle monitor and posted videos on social media claiming to be high. She reportedly expressed annoyance about the topic of losing her child, whom she had gained custody of just hours before the crash.

Today's China insight is this: Xi's purge may well be a sign he is pushing ahead with invading Taiwan despite the advice of his senior commanders. General Zhang is one of the last combat veterans in the PLA, and served as a regimental commander in the second round of fighting with Vietnam. He would know what happens when a green, untried army faces a determined enemy on their home ground: disaster.
Moreover, this is not the US Navy in 1944. China's last naval battle was in 1894 and it was a resounding defeat.
Another problem is that this is not Xi's first round of purges - he's whacking his own creatures. It's hard to keep purging the military and not have the survivors realize their days are numbered.

Alternate analysis was: Xi is becoming quite ill, and has so far refused to name a successor; the recent purge was in response to unease and restlessness of senior officers who don't want to wait until the last minute to start fighting for the top spot.

Possibly, though there is a mechanism for succession through the Party, which held a congress in September. Gutting the CMC by removing every general doesn't exactly promote stability, it threatens to create regional warlords in the persons of the five theater commanders.

Even if you want to invade, decapitating your officers is going to work against your efforts. Most often the purge in the army or party is just internal. He purged several rivals during COVID on various pretexts.

Yes, but it often happens that way. I still think that the PLA - which apparently had had 2,000 officers purged under Xi - is probably losing patience with the situation. Zhang was a unifying figure, and while removing him creates a vacuum, nature abhors them as well.
Hence the apparent troops movements toward Beijing. The PLAAF seems loyal, but it's also not very effective at holding ground. The PLA is the center of gravity.

If Xi wins, he has to repurge the army and put in new officers, work on army morale for a long time until he can trust it. If Xi loses, the generals will have to decide who replaces him and have to purge pro Xi forces.

How did this shit get started in the first place? When I was in school, if a boy tried to hang out in the girls locker room, he would have got his ass kicked, and then arrested.
I recall some grumbling about a lack of girls on the football team. Once in a while someone would try out.
Most of the other sports were gutted to make room (funding) for federally mandated Title 9. Girls sports. Again, if a guy tried to insert himself in this venue, everyone would have said Get The Fuck Out Of Here
“No, I’m really a Girl!” would NOT have persuaded anybody. I’m still unclear just how the fuck this even happened. Obviously some coordination involved.

Our US Ice Dancing champions won’t be going to the Olympics because the female skater is not a citizen of the US yet. It’s the IOC who won’t let her compete for the US. She’s married to her skating partner who was born in the US. She has her green card and is in the middle of the 3 year waiting period. Senator Warren and Rep Markey tried to expedite the process but was unsuccessful.

Anyway, what would they know about free markets and liberty? They learned everything from hummus-chugging usurers. They're not exactly reliable sources, except for insidious, false scripture.
Anyway, what if there were a more conservative source for biblical doctrine than your local "Christian" church?
What if the Juche Ideal *was* the good news about Jesus Christ?
I'm just asking questions, but you can find the answers in the Selected Works of Kim il-Sung, a patriotic conservative - nobody can doubt that. It only costs $20.00 running dog dollars, or 450,000 DPRK won, but salvation is priceless.

Son and DIL got their first Golden boy as a baby of 8wks. When he was six months old, they decided he could hang out in part of the house when they worked, not in his crate. I advised them not to, but our sons rarely listen to me.
They came home for lunch from work that week and there were feathers flying like snow in the familyroom/kitchen. Bailey was proud he killed his bed. During the murder, the bed knocked over a cheap tv table and he took a large bite of particle board from that enemy.
A book I had given DIL and pen fell off the table in the battle. He ate most of the book and part of the pen.
The vet was called. They were told to "watch him." I had to "watch him" poop white (the book) for one day. We figured the plastic in the pen absorbed in to the paper and white feathers and did not kill him.
They crated him again for another six months and he was good after that. Except for eating coconuts at our house (the fiberous part). He was addicted to those.

I've seen probably every episode of Columbo and Perry Mason no telling how many times. And I can watch them again and again, provided not too close together.

My wife and I have been going through the box set of Perry Mason. Most episodes are pretty good stories, and it’s fun to see how many stock actors from the early to mid 60’s we can recognize. Saw one last night with Cyrano Jones in it, but he wasn’t selling tribbles.

We went over to my other grandmothers to be with cousins after Saturday cartoons. Sometimes gangs were formed, especially if cousins were visiting from New Orleans. Some cousins got spankings. I once fed mud to younger ones, who watched me make mud pies, telling them it was chocolate pudding. Some are still mad about this but they freaking watched me do it.
We had dinner. Often cheap chicken or Krystal Burgers. Lunch was horrid British cooking, often with a tough roast, so this was dinner. I had an Orange Crush, my only soda of the week.
We watched part of Lawrence Welk before going home to our apt and I watched the rest of Welk with my other grandmother and aunt. I am pretty sure we then watched Perry Mason and I went to bed.
I had my entire week made up of tv. Sunday was Disney, Lassie, then Bonanza.
I don't remember Monday.
Tuesdays was Red Skelton. I remember this because in 4th grade I went with my mother to a hygiene class (sex ed and I learned nothing) and missed the show and was mad.
Don't remember Wed or Th.
Friday night we got to watch The Flintstone's while eating burgers.

Peter Baker
@peterbakernyt Jeff Bezos wealth in 2024: $194 billion Jeff Bezos wealth in 2025: $215 billion Jeff Bezos wealth today: $249.4 billion Net increase in Bezos wealth since 2024: $55.4 billion Cost of Bezos's 417-foot superyacht: $500 million Amazon investment in "Melania": $75 million Original Bezos purchase price of the Washington Post in 2013: $250 million Bezos net worth in 2013: $25.2 billion Net increase in Bezos wealth since buying the Post: $224.2 billion Last reported annual losses of Post: $100 million Number of years Bezos could absorb those losses with what he makes in a single week: 5
You repostedThe Post lost $100 million in 2022, $77 million in 2023, and $100 million in 2024. And these upper-class rich bitches all say: Other rich people should put my rich friends on their personal welfare systems.
Fusilli Spock
@awstar11 Now do WaPo financials year over year. WaPo is a business, not a charity. The audacity of the expectation that Bezos is going to personally fund WaPo's losses year over year is exactly the entitled crap we expect from folks like Baker
Confessions of a ConservativeTheir entitlement is infinite, their contributions are nonexistent.
@TwisteChristian A modest proposal: Perhaps @peterbaker and all the other hack journalists bitching and moaning should donate to keep the WaPo as it was, put their money where their mouth is so to speak?
Nope. The Washington Post deliberately lied about me in an attempt to ruin my reputation, and although the editors were forced to issue a retraction, the reporter paid no price for it. The paper is rotten and its mercenaries will get no sympathy from me. https://t.co/hbjgj5teSx

Not much surprises me anymore (This is a lie! You are surprised daily!)
However the thought that girls/women?/females of some subtype are in love and declare imaginary ?men/males/penis holders their boyfriends or husbands has me now running to find this on reddit. I mostly read reddit for Markle snark (look under Saint).
Do they have imaginary funerals? Apply for imaginary social security? Write imaginary obits? Wear Jackie Kenney widow's clothing for life? Tell their fake babies (there are women who have fake newborns, with carseats,etc)?
What on earth? I thought this was only in Japan with men having plastic blow up dolls.
Sometimes I think I should become Amish, get a cow (which is illegal in this county, plus I have never milked one but could, I feel sure), and go offline forever. But now I will look for this on reddit. Thanks, Ace!
I thought reading reddit about the crazy trans mothers freaking out after Trump was elected was pretty entertaining, but this might top it all!
Let's bet that they are taking videos of themselves weeping with snot shooting out of nose piercings. Before I go Amish I still want to know what happens with that deal and a bad sinus infection.

That should be past tense: occupied.
I recall the glory days of Watergate. It turned out that Woodward and Bernstein publicized leaks from a disgruntled FBI official ( 'Deep Throat') who decided to leak information about an ongoing FBI investigation, because he was enraged about being passed over for for promotion. He used them, they were saps. The FBI investigation of the Watergate burglary continued just as it would have if the two saps had never written about it.

Anyway again. One recurring theme is “Democracy”. The narrator claimed it is responsible for freedom of speech, freedom of religion etc. I don’t associate those things with Democracy. Not exactly. And the Bill of Rights doesn’t mention Democracy. Nor does the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.

Survivors will be assigned to manage a team of AI agents.
Even if all those agents do a mediocre job, it's still "free." Compared to the salary of a human.
This is especially important for content creation.
So, basically, for the news industry, that means they will be assigned to manage a team, training and managing them until even they are no longer necessary.

Honest elections will see the GOP sweep a bunch of new seats. That's the irony. When you dilute a +8 down to +4, things can go sideways if there is a wave, and honest balloting would precipitate that.
This is why they are so desperate to stop deportations. Those are their base now. Oh, and add in that the votes have to be be counted on the day. It's going to get interesting.

Paris to Lyon or Berlin to Munich. But if you’re going from say Paris To Munich nobody takes the train because it takes 10x as long as flying.

I took the high speed train from London to Paris one year on a business trip. There was an issue in our German partner near Cologne so I had to take another fast train there. After solving the issue I had to get back to London and there was no train going to London, so I had to be driven on the autobahn to a disused NATO airbase used for small airlines, take a short flight to a minor London airport, take a metro line into the city and a cab across town to get back to the group.
This is 'superb' mass transit in Europe.

My junior high diary, which is something to behold in general,mentioned my crush by his initials. However, he was real. And I noted the days he looked at me (this was a huge deal). On other days I yell write at my brother and his friend for reading the secret diary which had a lock they could pick.
I have never wept in the bath, over an imaginary boyfriend or a real one that I can recall. I did, after a rare weep in class with the first breakup of my bf/husband (for no reason he would break up with me x 3 our first year).I wept quietly, teared up,not hysterical, in a cardiac nursing class. My instructor, who was tough and brilliant, told me to basically knock it off in private and I did, never to weep again. And he's real or I have been imaginary married for almost 47yrs.
The first thing I wanted to do with the bathtub weeper was correct her English.
I never even read Harlequin Romance books I once saw in a beauty shop in elementary school with my mother. Or Danielle Steel! I ain't no fool.

That's because you don't possess the refined set of greed that makes billionaires. They are never satisfied with meeting their needs, it's a competition to see if you can get more, and even more, and then spend it in ludicrous ways.

Their map was specifically designed on the presumption that increasing Hispanics per district would shift the district blue.
That presumption relies upon counting ... illegals.
While assuming they're not diluting their voters too much.
It also assumed the old "no standing" for election rule violations that the SCOTUS recently struck down.
Where the underlying challenge the SCOTUS implied was valid for standing was that counting ballots after Election Day violated the Constitution.
Counting ballots for 3 weeks after the election is dead, the left just doesn't know it yet.

Yeah, the voting pattern of Hispanics has shifted quite significantly. Purge the illegals and endless vote counting and things are going to be quite different.

Coming after yesterday's report of a $4 million malpractice judgement against genital butchers, this is another huge blow for the child mutilators.Plastic Surgeons' Group Advises Delaying Gender-Affirming Procedures Until Age 19 The organization's latest guidance is a departure from the prevailing views of several other major medical organizations. By Andrew JacobsThis is the New York Times, so of course they play this as a tragedy. But don't let them fool you. These leftists long knew that this was insanity and were secretly terrified the mind virus would infect their own children, but they hid those feelings and supported the Transition All Children movement because they are depraved cowards who will sacrifice their children before they sacrifice one tiny bit of social position. They're secretly happy about this.
Feb. 3, 2026 The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommended on Tuesday that its members refrain from performing gender transition procedures on young patients until they reach age 19, a shift that comes at a time of mounting opposition to such care at the state and federal levels. The group's new position stands in contrast to those taken by most major medical associations in the United States, which endorse a range of treatments for adolescents and teenagers struggling with gender dysphoria. The treatments include puberty-blocking drugs, hormone therapies and, in rarer cases, surgeries.
In its statement, the society said the new recommendations were prompted by what it described as a lack of quality research on the long-term outcomes for young people who had undergone surgical interventions like mastectomies and cited "emerging evidence of treatment complications and potential harms." The announcement drew praise from the Trump administration, which issued a statement commending the group for "disavowing pediatric sex-rejecting procedures." In the statement, Jim O'Neill, the deputy health secretary, said, "Today marks another victory for biological truth in the Trump administration."
Kinnon Ross MacKinnon, a social scientist who studies transgender medicine at York University in Toronto, said the medical group's new position reflected the growing political backlash over gender-affirming care as well as liability concerns for practitioners in the field. Last week, a jury in New York State ruled in favor of a woman who claimed a mastectomy she received as a teenager had left her disfigured, making it the first malpractice verdict against providers of gender transition care by a patient who later came to regret the decision. "I would imagine that this is a potentially protective decision for the field, but it also comes at time when we increasingly are seeing governments around the world step in and respond to some of the debates and uncertainty," Professor MacKinnon said. That includes the Trump administration, which announced in December that it would pull federal funding from hospitals that provide medical treatment for transgender young people.
We were told these surgeries weren’t happening. And they accused us of misinformation, hate speech, and incitement for saying they shouldn’t be happening. https://t.co/3PNI5g7fIH

@genspect Jul 22, 2025 L.A. Children's has shut down its youth gender clinic under federal pressure. They treated kids as young as THREE YEARS OLD. They performed over 160 surgeries on minors. Clinic director Johanna Olson-Kennedy is being sued for prescribing puberty blockers after one visit-- and admitted hiding study data to avoid backlash. This wasn't medicine. It was radical experimentation on children. And it's finally being stopped.
JUST IN: California Attorney General Rob Bonta is SUING Rady Children's Hospital over ending s*x change treatments for minors

California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit against Rady Children's Health on Friday after the hospital dropped gender-affirming care for patients under the age of 19. Rady Children's Health announced it will no longer provide gender-affirming care for those patients after "escalating federal actions" and a possible federal investigation. However, Bonta said that by complying with the Trump administration in this instance, they are violating California law. "Rady Children's Health has chosen to violate its merger agreement and California law in response to the Trump Administration's illegal campaign against providers of gender-affirming care," Bonta said in a statement. "Rady flagrantly disregarded its legal obligations by unilaterally deciding to preemptively comply with the Administration's demands and cease medically necessary care for roughly 1,450 patients."

The American Medical Association (AMA) — which wields major influence as the nation’s largest medical association — has reversed course on its position concerning transgender surgical procedures for minors.
In a statement to National Review, the AMA said “the evidence for gender-affirming surgical intervention in minors is insufficient for us to make a definitive statement,” adding that it “agrees” with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) “that surgical interventions in minors should be generally deferred to adulthood.”

The victims, when scarcely at the edge of the opening, disappeared like a drop of water on a red-hot plate, and white smoke rose amid the great scarlet color.
Nevertheless, the appetite of the god was not appeased. He ever wished for more. In order to furnish him with a larger supply, the victims were piled up on his hands with a big chain above them which kept them in their place. Some devout persons had at the beginning wished to count them, to see whether their number corresponded with the days of the solar year; but others were brought, and it was impossible to distinguish them in the giddy motion of the horrible arms. This lasted for a long, indefinite time until the evening. Then the partitions inside assumed a darker glow, and burning flesh could be seen.

I think they are extreme narcissists who have no feeling for their children other than as accessories.
But there are also normal parents who got caught up in this. Their kids get programmed at school and they don't know what to do, or sometimes just can't remove the kid fast enough and it is too late.

In the town where I attended high school, Planned Parenthood was directly across from the nearest mall. It was a large, beautiful colonial-style house with a spacious front lawn and tall hedges. At the time, I had no idea what Planned Parenthood was, and I distinctly remember feeling curious and wanting to go inside several times to see what it was.
Now that I know what it is, I am revolted by what they are and how they make the place look so inviting.

(from wikipedo) -
Sporus (died 69 AD) was a young slave boy whom the Roman emperor Nero castrated and married during his tour of Greece in 66–67 AD, allegedly in order for him to play the role of his wife, Poppaea Sabina, who had died under uncertain circumstances the previous year, possibly after being assaulted by Nero.
Ancient historians generally portrayed the relationship between Nero and Sporus as an "abomination"; Suetonius places his account of the Nero–Sporus relationship in his "scandalous accounts of Nero's sexual aberrations," between his raping a Vestal Virgin and committing incest with his mother. Some think Nero used his marriage to Sporus to assuage the guilt he felt for allegedly kicking his pregnant wife Poppaea to death. Dio Cassius, in a more detailed account, writes that Sporus bore an uncanny resemblance to Poppaea and that Nero called Sporus by her name.

It's "born this way" until the gheys start talking about sex with their hetero friends/acquaintances. Then it becomes "how do you know you're not gay unless you try it?". A VERY common ghey fetish is fucking heterosexuals, not because they're attracted to them but because they like the idea of confusing the straights and making them ashamed. It's about power and a healthy dose of arrogant "my dick is awesome and should be shared" bragging.

A Texas father (Jeff Younger) who has spent years in court to stop his ex-wife from subjecting their son to transgender procedures is vowing to appeal a California judge’s decision that grants his ex-wife the authority to proceed with “gender-affirming care” for their 12-year-old.
Jeff Younger, 59, who has worked for years to prevent his son James from undergoing what he describes as harmful and irreversible procedures (aren't they?), told the Washington Examiner he intends to appeal a court decision Tuesday that paved the way for his ex-wife, Anne Georgulas (not his biological mother), who contends James wants to identify as a girl, to begin transitioning him.

North Carolina law bans gender-affirming care (like puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery) for minors under 18, with a limited exception for those who started treatment before August 2023, though major healthcare systems like UNC Health have further restricted care to those under 19, complicating access significantly.

My eldest granddaughter,age 4yrs, informed me several months ago how much she loved her best friend, Clara. Said, "If I could I'd marry her, but she's a girl so I can't." I agreed, but reminded her that Clara could be a bridesmaid in her wedding someday. This made her happy thinking about gowns.
Age two she wanted to be a flamingo because they are pink and pink is her favorite color. "In my opinion, everything should be pink, even the sky," she told me, age 3yrs. I suppose I should have told her she was, indeed, a flamingo?
I had two sons I love deeply. I never hoped with #2 that he was a girl, because I sort of knew he was a boy and I never, even in my mind, wanted to think otherwise because I believe in God's plan.
Trans-mutation, or raising a child this way, is satanic as much as abortion, and no one will change my mind.

Lets grant that one of these doctors was rational. Why would you jump from zero to chemical castration and sickening surgery in 20 seconds.
If a potential trans woman wanted to 'present' as more man like implanting a beard, say would be less invasive. Presumably this might help the psychologic need to look more like the other sex and show great results...
But that isn't how they act, because they aren't rational.

Another One of Keir Starmer's "Rent Boys" Arrested
Plus: Could Keir Starmer Be Forced to Resign Over Jeffrey Epstein Scandal?
I had completely forgotten about this story. Tree Hugging Sister reminded me.
For reasons no one will explain, four would-be "Male Models" targeted properties and cars belonging to Totally-Straight UK PM Keir Starmer last year. Why did these obvious homosexuals, claimed to be "rent boys" in the British media (that is, gay prostitutes), have some kind of beef against Fiercely Heterosexual Keir Starmer? Why did they risk jail to set them afire? And how did they even know what properties and vehicles he owned? That's non-public information, but Tree Hugging Sister says that the Pyromaniacal Rent Boys seemed to be very well-informed about Starmer's holdings:Whoever it was, they seemed to have extraordinary knowledge of Starmer's property around the suburbs of London and even the vehicles he drove. The Starmer family had either rented the homes -- one of them to his sister-in-law, who was luckily on a vacation or something -- or they were vacant, and had recently sold the vehicle the arsonists torched.Again, no one will explain why these gay prostitutes are so pissy at the Dedicated Mish-Hound Keir Starmer, who is so heterosexual that he ****s women so hard he gives them sexually-transmitted scoliosis. But there's more. Mark Steyn just noted that the "fifth twink" just dropped. A fifth "rent boy" involved in setting fire to houses belonging to the Ghengis Kahn of Pooter Keir Starmer was just arrested.
One notes, inter alia, that, with respect to the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, last week was also the week that the fifth twink dropped. Why every Ukrainian "male model" on the books of Mayfair agencies wants to incinerate Keir Starmer is an interesting question, although evidently not to Fleet Street's investigative reporters.And, as he says, the UK media -- centered around Fleet Street -- continues to be entirely uninterested in why five gay foreign "male models" are so singularly angry at the married heterosexual man Keir Starmer.
Three young men sent to the Old Bailey over arson attacks linked to Sir Keir Starmer yet the Prime Minister who never misses a chance to lecture the country has been completely silent about it.

Starmer's opponents are demanding that he release all documents in his possession about Mandelson and Epstein, and he's saying... I will release all documents that I decide do not compromise "national security." Oh. Well, as the entire affair involves international financier and international fixer Jeffrey Epstein, and the UK's former Ambassador to the US, everything in this candal is a "national security" matter, so Starmer is giving himself justification to release nothing.
Relating this back to the story about the Five Fire-Fingered Rent Boys: Mandelson is also gay. Does this stuff connect up? I don't know. We won't see any documents about it, though, because... national security.
There are even rumors that Labour will force Keir Starmer to resign:
GrokI saw one commentator, Tousi TV, pointing out that Starmer's hands are shaking during his baldfaced lies, and that he uses one hand to hold the other one to keep it from shaking so much. Meanwhile, actually based MP Rupert Lowe issued this statement about what he's seeing in the hearings on police complicity in the Muslim Grooming Gangs:
@grok Reports of Keir Starmer's imminent resignation are unconfirmed as of Feb 4, 2026. Speculation centers on the Peter Mandelson-Jeffrey Epstein scandal, where Starmer admitted knowing of ties during Mandelson's appointment. Other factors include Labour infighting, poor polls, and potential election setbacks, per sources like The Guardian, Reuters, and betting odds.
Rupert Lowe MP
@RupertLowe10 One of many lessons from our hearings today. In many cases, the police were complicit in these rapes. I do not say that lightly. The lack of any desire to investigate these men is criminal. It happened again and again and again. And yes. It's mainly because the rapists were Muslims. Parents pleaded and begged. The police all too often did nothing. Staggeringly, they even suggested the parents work with the rapists, as we heard today. This went on for years, years and years and years. We will be releasing further evidence on this over the coming days. These children were torn away from their families, through alcohol, drugs, fear or blackmail. They were then raped and abused, on an industrial scale. These rapists knew exactly what they were doing. It's evil. Pure evil. Turning these children against their families. It is psychological torture. Honestly I feel sick going over it. To have that happen to your child must be the most unimaginable pain. To those parents who have been campaigned so that others don't go through that same pain? They have my greatest respect. This was an important topic to start our hearings with, because it's not just the survivors who have their lives ruined. It's entire families. The impact is more brutal than most of us could ever imagine. We had three parents tell us their unique stories - there are thousands and thousands and thousands of others. It is almost endless, and it absolutely does continue today. But today was a small step in the right direction.

Schaffer's a celery in the CPAC circuit. He was involved in January 6 and was soliciting donations for some "RiftTV" media outlet.
Schaffer does occasionally diddle women too, but requests the strapon from them.

They won't call a general election. They can't force him out. He has to go on his own.
They can empty his cabinet, but there are always dummies who don't know what they're doing who want government positions. He can fill his cabinet with new dummies immediately.
He's set for three more years, at least. Just knock this back, wait out the news cycle, and some other terrible thing will come up to distract everyone from his failures.

1. He's been married for 20 years, making "coming out" now more difficult, including admitting that he was lying to everyone for decades.
2. Brits have an odd relationship with poofters. Secretly, it's rampant. But publicly, it's still considered taboo. Very similar to Muslim societies. In Muslim societies, half the men are sexually abusing little boys, but they throw gays off rooftops.

I mean, if you watch videos of him, it's plainly obvious that he has some sort of severe personality disorder and psycho-social malfunction. Sure, he literally shakes when he (constantly lies), but it's more than that. His eyes shift back and forth nervously and confusedly, like he's some alien creature in a skin-suit trying to decipher and figure out how humans function so he can imitate them on the fly, and pass as normal. He seems constantly overwhelmed, constantly befuddledg,pes constantly nervous. Some kind of autism or Asperger's-type disorder that doesn't have a label yet.

I doubt Neil Goldschmidt, Portland mayor, Oregon Governor, Representative to Congress, and homosexual pedophile, was ever actually blackmailed into the things he did or laws he espoused, but I am sure his buddies made sure he didn't get outside of their orbit and made sure he had playmates supplied and covered up afterwards.

The shuffling of candidates to hurt Reform game is played out. Tories are nowhere, presumably so will Labor and Greens and Lib Dems have only urban strength. That's why Starmer has been cancelling and delaying elections generally.
My point was that the EU has no military assets with which to threaten military action.

That may be true. Sarah Ferguson is a different matter, however. From recent reporting at Daily Mail over the last few days, I think we are getting ridiculously close to finding out Ferguson pimped out her young daughters to Epstein.
Posted by: ellipses' taint at February 04, 2026 04:09 PM
Sara sent Epstein an email about one of her daughters who was like 19 at the time that she was on a shagging weekend.
Who talks like that about their own daughter? Let alone to a convicted pedo? She's trash.

In reality I want him GONE. I want the victims of Rotherham and others raped and families wanting answers rewarded, finally, with justice. The dirty police in prison who helped the barbarians. I think I first shrieked about this in 2014.
I could not last a cocktail hour with Mark Steyn without the EMT's called. I would have to wear one of those stylish type Depends for our drinks. His twist in words goes beyond making me choke laugh, which is alarming to people who don't know me. This is peak laughing for me.
In Edinburgh, I once brought the packed St. Giles' Cathedral to a halt, during a sermon. I had a TB sounding coughing jag, was searching for a cough drop in my purse behind our son on the pew, and then my husband asked if I was harfing into my purse. I made a lot of unspeakable noises while trying to suppress laughter. The acoustics are awesome! What made it more perfect is they were voting on gheys to be permitted in the pulpit!!! Yehaw! I think God approved of my disruption!
I adore Mark Steyn. And you, too, Ace.

She was desperate for a very wealthy meal ticket. She had enough to keep her going with a stipend and a place to live through the Royal family for life but that is not where she wanted to be. She wanted to be flying high and living on multiple continents with whatever she wanted. She was too long in the tooth so if it had to be through one of her daughters, so be it. With that failing and the imprisonment and death of Epstein, she is now without her royal digs and has to rely on her daughters for a place to live. She has written some children's books in the past so she might have some money from that but no publisher will go near her now. A tragedy of her own making along with creepy Andrew.

I've passed out cold twice due to dehydration, insomnia and stress (this was all anyone could figure out, thankfully).
The last was in early November in Mass, which was a grand exit I did not want. However, I am fairly sure I did not flash anyone as I was wearing a pleated maxi skirt when I was flung into the wheelchair. Very mortified but I finally was laughing about it the next day (my husband and son were laughing about it later that day when I seemed ok). Had tests and stress was the answer. Again.
The other time it was just my husband to witness and scare himself. He thought I was faking, which says a lot about our marriage (I was sitting on the stairs). I was dehydrated, first day up from bedrest after surgery. MRI of brain, etc all normal.
At least neither time I have fallen and bonked my head, so there's that!
You've had stress lately, if I remember?
It can do some bad stuff to you. I've had documented irregular heartbeat, put through the world of cardiac tests in 2005, and stress was the answer.

The destruction of Russia and securing India and Arabia has been a very long British tradition. Since WWII, subverting Russia and taking over all the assets has been a long plan. This came to fruition after the fall of the USSR, and the oligarchs selling off their assets for ready western cash, and it was stopped only by Putin putting his foot down on a number of grasping hands and not a few heads.
I recently heard an analysis of "facts on the ground" (which is actually stuff found in newspapers in the International pages for the last 20 years) that the whole Global Warming by CO2 may have gotten a push to restrict the use of fossil fuels and kneecap the Russian Federation and the threat their economy and nationalism posed by reducing the market for their hydrocarbons

The lyrics to that song never made much sense, until I read that the song was part of a Vampire-themed musical. And it was written by the master of overwrought "epic" song, Jim Steinman.

Last Friday morning, I was lying in bed, and my heart began racing like it was Secretariat. I needed to go downstairs and get some water and use the bathroom, but when I stood up, my legs couldn't support my weight, and gave way beneath me. So I sat down on the bed. After a bit, I got up again, but the legs still didn't work, and I had to sit down on the bed again. Keep in mind, I used to be a runner, and that the strongest muscles in my body have always been in my legs. Finally, I made it downstairs, gripping the stair railing the whole time, and to the living-room couch. Took awhile for the heart to calm down, and for the legs to be weight-bearing again.

They gave me meds and I stayed there a long time until they were sure that I could go home and rest. Scary stuff. Is that what you are dealing with - BP? My legs felt like jelly and I could barely walk. I changed my diet, quit smoking, drinking, etc. and never had to go on BP meds.

The legs: they need to check your back for nerve impingement after the brain is checked. My husband was an "elite" runner in HS and college and into his 40's. Long distance guy with 4min miles.
Now his spine is shot from cervical to the other end and he has injections. Ablations to his neck. From the pounding of running for decades. Also the "normal" herniated or smushed discs of aging (which most have but don't know about). He got a double dose of arthritis from his parents to top it all off.
The legs collapsing sounds like this to me but temporary stuff for it to get better. I hope that's what it is and prayers for it to be so.

Fulton County, GA, Election Office Sues to Get Its Dodgy "Votes" Back (So That Tulsi Gabbard Can't See Them)
The cleanest election in the history of the Earth.
Fulton County officials filed a motion in a Georgia court to reclaim election records seized by federal agents in January at a Georgia election office. The motion filed by county officials under seal in a federal court in Georgia on Wednesday seeks the return of the election records taken by agents at a warehouse in Fulton County, according to The Washington Post. The officials also requested the judge unseal the investigative affidavit that federal agents submitted to secure a search warrant, Rob Pitts -- Fulton County board of commissioners chairman -- said, according to the outlet.
More: Did an FBI Straight Arrow deliberately tip off the Fulton County election fraudsters in advance, so that they could have a shredding party?
It is almost beyond belief that the agent in charge of a major FBI field office sent this astonishingly shoddy letter to the Fulton County election office, effectively giving advance notice of an impending federal action. His firing does not even begin to address the gravity of… https://t.co/6IL2j2LCM5 pic.twitter.com/fcJBFi2gYY

I want to see the shittly legal arguments for the return and unsealing.
Even if they got advanced warning, 700 boxes were still seized.
And, all of those in the letter, were already under retention/spoilation notices anyway.

Innocent people ALWAYS have the same reaction ... more sunlight.
My brother recently had an audit where all of the broker email data from February 2025 was missing. The principle of the brokerage firm immediately apologized for that error and told my brother to follow him down to the IT department where he could observe them directly pulling the records. That is what innocent people do, prove their innocence by providing any and all available information.
Can anyone recall a single Democrat precinct, after reports of election "irregularities", saying, "Come on in and perform a full audit. We did everything exactly right."
I can't think of a single example. Their actions exactly match the same actions that guilty people would take.

If the Feds find significant evidence of voter fraud in sufficient numbers to swing the election to the actual losing candidate,
is there a way to refuse to count state, in this case, GA's vote in the upcoming election unless they can prove they have proper safeguards to insure the integrity of the vote?
Or, is that an impossibility?

So if I understand correctly, the law is the Executive has to sign off to extend the temporary status. The Executive declined to do so, but the Judiciary says hold my crown, holds her gavel over her head and shouts "I...have.....the .... POWER", lightning flashes and she transforms into She-Man and extends the temporary status? Is that right?

I believe that's up to Congress. The Electoral College sends delegates to Congress who then perform that official count of electors. It's up to Congress to accept or decline electors from states.
This is why states sometimes send alternate slates of electors to DC, in the blind hope that Congress will tell the official slate that they're not recognized.

We are in uncharted territory here, imo.
There has never been such systematic, endemic and long-term fraud as what we're seeing in GA.
Fraud that doesn't just span the state.
And not just the nation.
But, potentially, international involvement.
We're not in "un-do the election" territory.
We're in "un-do lives" territory.
That's why you see the utter terror on the faces of the Dems in GA.

Now, ignoring the absolute irony of that statement based on their own actions, there was definitely a Chain of Custody on the 700 + boxes of ballots the FBI took.
Make no mistake, the Georgia Election Commission is flailing, and didn't see this coming regardless of the Agent In Charge's heads up. They've been protected by their compatriots in the state, and by the Courts so completely, that now that someone pulled the floor out from under them, they're rightfully very concerned.
Senator Warner is likely to have a coronary in his escapades to determine what the FBI really has. He is worried about FISA warrants that might have preceded this whole effort. And Gabbard is telling him to pound sand.

Sort of related. I've lost all sensitivity to those imbeciles to think it's a good idea to take selfies with any kind of bear. Now I think it is interesting, absurb, even funny when their tiny synapse of a brain can't parse out the possible consequences. We have a good supply of retards in the US willing to do this. BUT, notthing comes close to all the half-wits in India who do it. They must have a story a week about someone getting out of their car to take a selfie with a Tiger, or a cobra, and SLOTH BEARS. Sloth bears give the appearance of their name...but they can take down a Bengal Tiger or just about any other bear.

If the Feds find significant evidence of voter fraud in sufficient numbers to swing the election to the actual losing candidate,
is there a way to refuse to count state, in this case, GA's vote in the upcoming election unless they can prove they have proper safeguards to insure the integrity of the vote?
Or, is that an impossibility?
===========
How about refusing to count the electoral votes of any state that does not demand citizenship confirming photo ID in order to vote?
Let's do one more, refuse to count any non-citizen for purposes of apportionment?

.................................
Nah, I'm sure they are all dead now as I was a very young charge RN and now olde. I was a good nurse, so people told me.
The only one who remembered me for life was a 400lb+ guy who came in for something. We had to put two hospital beds together and rig up a trapeze for him to pull up on to turn.
Every night he wanted my medication nurse to use a back scratcher thing to find his nethers and apply some cream (probably anti-fungal as I don't remember). He got off on this. After two nights I called my orderly bf/now husband from another floor to "help" him. I still have no idea what he did to him, but this guy never asked for the "treatment" from my nurses again.
My bf/husband remembers me, however, as he's downstairs. I've always looked a decade or more younger than my age, so back then I probably looked 15yrs old and my nursing cap was what showed the world I was in charge.

Would-Be Trump Assassin Ryan Routh Sentenced to Life In Prison, Plus 84 Months
Just when you're looking forward to the end of your life sentence, bang, now you have to serve 84 months.
He was sentenced in Florida, by Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon. Compare this judge to the one in New York overseeing the prosecution of Luigi Mangione -- she just threw out two charges against him so that he would not be eligible for the death penalty. By the way, that makes it likely that Luigi Mangione will eventually get off. Prosecutors often use the death penalty as a bargaining chip to secure a plea deal where the killer gets life in prison, rather than death. Prosecutors no longer have this leverage, so the case will go to trial -- where Luigi Mangione will likely get one or two lefties on the jury who will jury-nullify because they're pro-assassination.* Unless the government offers Mangione such a sweetheart deal that he feels compelled to take it. Hate to remind you of that bad news. But the country is coming apart. We cannot remain at peace with fellow "citizens" who believe that they have moral (and even legal) justification to murder us. * I know a hung jury is not an acquittal -- the state can re-file charges -- but at some point, if lefties keep jury nullifying, they'll be forced to offer him a sweetheart deal.🚨 BREAKING: Wannabe Trump assassin Ryan Routh has officially been sentenced to LIFE IN PRISON

Parole Eligibility: No parole is available for federal life sentences imposed after 1987. Release is only possible through executive clemency, commutation, or a successful appeal that overturns the conviction.
Sentence Structure: A federal life sentence is indeterminate, meaning the individual is expected to serve the rest of their natural life in prison.
Good-Time Credit: Federal inmates may earn up to 54 days of sentence reduction per year for good behavior, but this does not change the fundamental nature of the sentence—release remains highly unlikely without extraordinary intervention.
Scope: Although life sentences are rare in the federal system (accounting for only 0.2% of federal offenders from 2016–2021), they are imposed for serious crimes such as drug trafficking, racketeering, and firearms offenses. You may now continue.

Also, I'd find less blame with the Judge, and more blame on the prosecution for the removal of those charges. The law reads pretty clearly on the burden, which is to show that interstate stalking guarantees violence. Stalking didn't qualify under a supreme court decision as a "crime of violence." Federal....remember? Interstate status sets the bar for Federal crimes.
Posted by: Orson at February 04, 2026 01:40 PM (dIske)
I used to worry about this a lot more, but after several years of it not really being an issue, I'm less worried. The actual number of insane Leftists is still very small, even in Blue areas. Most people are just normies that are not going to be cool with assassinating people. As long as the prosecution takes jury selection seriously, they should be able to strike the real radicals. Those people can't help themselves, and will have obvious social media markers.

They were ordered to try and go for the death penalty, but the death penalty requires violent crimes more than just murder. Murder plus, effectively, and they tried the stalking. Stalking wasn't considered violent, and Luigi did no other violent things.
So, impossible order to prosecution based on the current structure of federal law.
Unless you can come up with another violent act that they missed.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, searching for twisted thrills with Park Chan-wook at February 04, 2026 01:41 PM (GBKbO)
You have to blame the federal death penalty murder charge for that. As I (and others) explained at the time, the charge requires not just a murder, but that the murder be committed during another separate "crime of violence" as a special aggravating factor.
The underlying murder can't be the crime of violence; there has to be another violent crime. There wasn't one. This charge was always a stretch.
This homo still faces "normal" murder charges in both federal and state courts. They are enough to get life in prison, but not death penalty.
The blockbuster ruling in the case (in the same court order) wasn't dismissal of the murder-plus charge. The blockbuster was that the judge ruled all the items in the backpack were admissible. There were real issues with the backpack search (no warrant) and chain of custody.
If the judge really wanted to sabotage the case, she would have thrown all this evidence out.

Yeah, but didn't he plead some form of insanity? So he got out cause the psychiatrists said he was now sane. Different situation than parole.
I think with parole in the federal system, the most they can get shaved off for good behavior is 15%. Maybe if he is really good, he will only have to do life and not have to do the extra 7 years.

@NickFondacaro
Joy Behar equates Don Lemon going into that St. Paul church to Eisenhower bringing in journalists to witness concentration camps:
JOY BEHAR: So, i mean, all I can say is its in the Constitution, the right to protest; and he wasn't even there protesting. He was there as a journalist.
SUNNY HOSTIN: Correct.
BEHAR: And I think they want to use him as some kind of an example to intimidate other journalists.
But, you know, I was reading something the other day about World War II, when the Americans liberated Dachau, during World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower said take pictures of these concentration camps because years will go by and people will not believe this happened.
So, this administration does not really like somebody like Don Lemon who has a camera, who a position like we do in a way to speak to the people and tell them what really is going on. So, you know, God bless Dwight D. Eisenhower and Don Lemon.

Yeah, but didn't he plead some form of insanity? So he got out cause the psychiatrists said he was now sane. Different situation than parole.
I think with parole in the federal system, the most they can get shaved off for good behavior is 15%. Maybe if he is really good, he will only have to do life and not have to do the extra 7 years.

But, you know, I was reading something the other day about World War II, when the Americans liberated Dachau, during World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower said take pictures of these concentration camps because years will go by and people will not believe this happened.

Federal law clearly requires a extra "crime of violence," in addition to the murder, to get the death penalty.
Some people seem mystified but that, but it's not unusual to require something more than just a murder -- even a cold-blooded murder -- to get the death penalty.
If you look at all the murderers on death row, including even in red states, the vast majority of them had some other heinous aggravating factor in addition to the murder. Rape, torture, multiple murders, killing a cop, many prior convictions, etc.
Here's a list of TX death-row inmates. All or nearly all are "murder plus," and TX is one of the most death-penalty states in the country.

I hate to take issue with our fearless online leader, but I would disagree. Yes, are the stupid things going on? Surely, and there always has been and always will be.
But... the immigration fight is essentially over. The dems lost, and if they try to restart it, they will get destroyed. All the things that people hate about the left are still on daily display - and don't think the craziness going on in Virginia isn't helping. Not even Mamdani in NYC was that stupid.
California is sinking beyond the ability for anyone to save it. Vance is the odds on favorite to win in 28. The GOP will return a bigger majority in the senate after 26, less Mitch, more MAGA. Apportionment and economic growth all follows red leadership not blue. We are getting more into the dem fraud - and probably GOPe fraud as well. Inflation, growth and employment numbers are all trending positive for the GOP, and hopefully Iran is about to be take care of once and for all.
All good stuff.

Funded by "American Sovereignty" and featuring football-themed messages supporting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including:
. “Defensive player of the year: ICE”, showing an ICE agent holding a trophy;
. “Cheering because the home team finally started investing in defense”, with agents in riot gear near a border wall; and
. “They can’t win without defense. Neither can America”, split-screen with football players and ICE agents.

It reminds me of the short story I never wrote; a murderer is at the end of his sentence. The parole chairman looks at the date of the conviction. It's 1893. Surely, this is a mistake. They must'a meant 1993. He's released but, nope. It was 1893 and he's a vampire.

Society changed obviously and it changed what it told women to want - the boring guy with a steady 9 to 5 was a good choice, the hoodlum might have been exciting but would leave you to raise your kids along.
But feminism came along and said it was sexist to tell women to want that boring guy even if he was objectively a better choice, and so many women embraced that and now wonder "where are all the good guys"
Note, there are similiar patterns for men, but society hasn't reversed itself on what kind of woman you should want as a man nearly as much...

She's Irish and got famous on the pasty white, unhealthy look so she maintains it. Her mom is an 'activist' so she's been surrounded by all this her whole life. She's in the entertainment industry so she made one of the asinine statements that 'entertainers' make which her fans will ignore and will enrage everyone else and she doesn't mean.
It was just another way for her to say, "Keep giving me money instead of improving your own lives," to the people who pay for her lifestyle.

I think it's a pretty good retort.

'Land acknowledgements' have been around for at least a decade. IDK if the people who mouth them believe their own BS. Nobody who says it actually believes they want to give any land back. It's performative hypocrisy for social acceptance in some elite circles.
Yes I hope it goes away someday, along with all the other woke BS, and along with a bunch of other, nonwoke, BS lies we live our lives by.

Honestly you can read it as simple sex based decision making.
Since most immigrants are men, it increases the options for women in America while decreasing them for men. It would also explain why the exact same immigration supporting women HATE passport bros and mail order brides

The left believes nothing they claim to believe.
All the stolen land stuff is there because it excused other things they want to do. And that's it.
Let me give you a fun experiment for that. Go to a leftist and ask, "Was Europeans colonization of the Americas bad and where possible should we give the land back to the natives?"
They'll say yes.
Then ask them if President Trump should force Denmark to leave Greenland and give it back to the natives.
After they are done REEing ask them why they don't support in the real world what they actually claim to believe and they won't be able to answer you.

She's telling all of America that we don't belong in our homes. We don't belong here, in our own country. And that statement got feted and celebrated as a noble thing to say. You're downright suspect if you even hint that you don't agree, in fact.
That's kind of fucked up. It's not just some celebrity idiot talking political shit at an awards show like they always do. It's an open declaration of the general, fundamental illegitimacy of America that's been accepted as The Correct Thing To Think.
That's not nothing. That deserves a decent helping of anger, I think. You can say an election was faked. You can say a murderer is innocent. You can even say Beyonce is a competent singer. You can't say America itself is illegitimate and none of us are allowed to be here. (...ESPECIALLY if the original point you're really trying to make is that foreign murderers and rapists ARE allowed to be here).

Washington Post Set to Lay Off Hundreds of Employees
They'll be completely closing down "almost the entire" sports desk. Which struck me as strange -- isn't sports a low-cost but popular section of the paper?
I guess there are now so many internet sports outlets that no one cares about what a stinky old liberal thought about the latest "Commanders" game.The Washington Post announced on Wednesday that it is laying off hundreds of its employees, which marks one of the newspaper's deepest workforce cuts in its history.Papers like the NY Times and Washington Post were criticized for years for not sufficiently covering the cities in which they were based. All they cared about was national politics. I guess the Washington Post is now acknowledging they don't really cover Washington so they'll save a buck by ending the pretense that they do. But maybe I'm reading this wrong. Ed Morrissey thinks they're restructuring in the exact opposite direction, focusing more on local coverage and ending the competition with the NY Times to be the national liberal daily "news" paper. Maybe I missed something. The paper will also be drastically chopping its budget for international reporting. As opposed to sports, international coverage is very expensive. Even when they rely almost exclusively on foreign "stringers" who are not-so-secretly part of the Hamas terrorist organization. The cuts are required because the #Resistance leftists at the Post have shed one half of the former audience, and the paper loses almost $100 million a year. That's practically Stephen Colbert level losses!
This development is part of a broader trend as legacy media outlets are rapidly losing viewers and readers. From CNN:
Executive Editor Matt Murray and human resources chief Wayne Connell sent an email to staffers Wednesday morning instructing employees to "stay home today" but attend an 8:30 a.m. ET meeting via Zoom during which the Washington Post's leadership will announce "significant actions across the company." Those actions include shutting down almost the entire Sports section, closing the Books section and cancelling the daily Post Reports podcast, sources at the newspaper said. One of the most severe cuts comes in the form of a "restructuring" of the Post's Metro desk, which covers D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
... When Jeff Bezos first acquired The Washington Post in 2013, he expanded operations and invested heavily in the outlet. But recent years have seen drastic financial losses, a severe increase in subscriber cancellations, and a mass exodus of top talent.Ed Morrissey writes that the new leadership has been warning the #Resistance lefties at the paper that Winter Is Coming for two years:
Lewis warned in response that he wasn't going to stick with the plan that involved losing $77 million a year to float a vanity project for progressive activists:Part of this is just the fact that traditional media is entering the hospice phase. For whatever reason, people are just out of the habit of reading these legacy newspapers. (Or seeing movies in legacy theaters.) Another factor is that the specific politics being pushed by the Washington Post's #Resistance lefties. It's not that #Resistance leftist politics don't have a market. They do. One third of the country are, alas, woke communist psychopathic nihilists. You should be able to sell a paper appealing to this lunatic cohort. The trouble is, every media outlet, pretty much, panders to this same lunatic cohort. They're all reading from the same depraved Marxist prayer book. Plus, what #Resistance leftists are selling is not at all a difficult product to produce. They've shifted from reporting on news, which does take some time and effort, and which is something people will pay for, to just ranting endlessly that Bad Orange Man Is Getting More Orange and More Bad and shrieking the same six propaganda slogans forever. You don't need an organization that spends $300 million on salaries and rent to do this. Any deranged leftwing imbecile with a $500 camera can do this from their basement. And they're almost all doing it -- so what does any lefty need the lefty press for? The religion has just as many preachers as adherents. That's too many. Some will need to leave the poisonous church of Marxism and find work that's actually productive. I can't imagine what that might end up being, but I'm sure they must be good at something. Right? Right? Hello everyone! I got decent sleep, not great but decent, so I won't be whining as much today. I hope you're all doing great. I got my humidifier out of the garage and cleaned it but apparently it broke so I'm waiting for Amazon to send me my next one.
At one point Lewis was asked whether he was intentionally bringing in people who come from a different culture than the Post. "We are losing large amounts of money. Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. I can't sugarcoat it anymore," Lewis said. "So I've had to take decisive, urgent action to set us on a different path, sourcing talent that I have worked with that are the best of the best."

I sort of miss the movie theater thing, of course especially for certain kinds of movies. But the overall crap quality of movies (and the bizarre, sorry, departure into cartoon stuff suitable for teenagers as a new adult "genre" or something) drove me out many many years ago.
Legacy media of course has been whittled down by the lethal combo of changes in business/advertizing (web) models (esp. newspapers), advent of a shallow short-attention span demo, and final descent into crude propaganda vs. actual news.

Because the music ages quite well, there is still a good market for tribute bands once the originals are finally just too old. They play it well, and it is a great way to listen to live music versions of your songs. Classic rock is still one of the most streamed products in the music world. And vinyl, which is heavily classic rock, is the largest "PURCHASED" music, more than buying digital or CDs. Of course, most just stream now a days, but if you want to own it, you have to buy IT, not rent the stream.

Mission accomplished Jeff. Mission accomplished. It was making more profits before he decided to mess with reporting for his own personal benefit. They've lost countless subscribers since he took over and he's not getting them back by doing this.
Maybe they shouldn’t have chosen to turn into a fascist mouthpiece? The newspaper that brought down Nixon, turned into state propaganda and is now teetering. Sad.
What is he trying to achieve? He refuses to prop up the paper. He fucked with reporting and lost their most loyal subscribers (I'm on of them) and did nothing to bring them back. Did he buy it just to kill it?
He's doing what oligarchs do: protecting his interests. When Democrats had more power he was content to bash Republicans. Now that the pendulum of authoritarianism has swung the opposite direction he is doing the same. It's not a morally principled stance, it's a self-serving one.

I remember when Bezos was still a darling of the left a few years ago that some lefty academic published a paper that showed after Bezos bought the WaPo all negative stories about Amazon disappeared.
The left called him a fascist, a racist, and obviously a Republican plant (he was a life long leftist).
But I guess now its ok to make such claims since Bezos isn't supporting leftwing journalism as much as he used to

While I understand the point about movies as it relates to most Hollywood garbage, there is a social aspect about going to the movies that is fun. A good, original movie, seen in a theater with friends and snacks and possibly dinner beforehand and more hangout time after, is a social experience, and the hope that you can have more of that without having blue-haired leftist toxin showed through your retinas for two hours is part of why movie theaters continue to exist. I still think Hollywood should be destroyed, but I hope solid independent films keep theaters in business.

I know it’s a joke, but coding requires a sense of cause and effect. Not necessarily logic—I’ve known many great programmers who I couldn’t consider logical. But they all would understand why the order of these lines matter:
$message = "Hello, World";
echo "<p>$message</p>";
Not understanding why those lines must be in that order is probably the biggest predictor of never being able to code, and that’s pretty much modern journalism, since at least Michael Crichton’s “wet streets cause rain” formulation of Gel-Mann Amnesia.
Back when a little coding helped non-coders do even basic writing on the Internet, I used to teach very, very basic courses. And I’d analogize those two lines to whether you would put the wall frames or the windows in first when building a house. Everyone understood why windows can’t attach to empty air; not everyone understood the analogy to those two lines of code.

Supposedly it made $1M just on Monday alone, and is going to expand to 200 more theaters! Good for Melania.
The left was crowing before its opening that no one will go see it so it's a flop. Now that's proven false, their new spin is that it will never make back its $40M price tag so it's a flop.
It was NEVER supposed to make huge money at the box office! Thats not the streaming model. Amazon bought it to be a draw on Prime.
Ask the Obamas and Netflix if their documentaries made back their deal that cost Netflix hundreds of millions. It never did. Thats now how the streaming game works. I'm just glad Amazon isn't as dismissive of theaters as Netflix is and is expanding it. Netflix keeps leaving a lot of good money on the table by not doing flashy theater releases.
At this point, Melania's documentary might be a better ROI than the Rings of Power and Wheel of Time series.

If you can stand it, I recommend reading Victor Navasky’s A Matter of Opinion. He talks about the business of journalism as just that, a responsibility that transcends the very policies he loudly supports. The sense of the anointed permeates the book; he’s not trying to hide it at all, or, if he is, he’s incompetent about it.
Much of the book is about convincing investors to part with their money no strings attached.

Welp...There's no accounting for taste.
We saw Iron Lung and I'd say it is definitely The Worst Movie of the Year.
And I expect it to hold that title throughout the rest of the year.
Overwrought crummy acting from the start. Lousy EFX. Lousy directing. Incoherent story.
Basically, it's TEMU Cthulhu as Jaws with the same ending.
Maybe...just maybe if you played the game, you'd get more out of it, but otherwise-
Just a big pile of cinematic poo.

Women have always wanted the beauty and the beast story. A strong alpha male they can tame and change. So true fantasy. *dodges tomatoes*
But modern women have been groomed to believe that all men are scary. To choose the bear over the man. But they still want a man. So they are inventing a man-bear that feels soft yet strong. Like the Charmin bear.
None of this bodes well for the mental health of women.

One thing I want to point out is this a big thing with movies nowadays - the movie has scenes and the point of the plot is just to move you from one scene to another even if it really doesn't make sense how that plot transition works.
For example, I saw Unhinged. Fat Russell Crowe murders a guy in front of 20 people in a resteraunt...IN THE SOUTH...and not only does he not get shot or Bubba-stomped he just casually walks out so we can then go to the next scene.

You've got it reversed, Ace:
WaPo is SLASHiNG its "metro desk," cutting way back (if not eliminating entirely) local coverage.
I have insider information confirming this.
The ttruth is that 95% of the tiny audience that read the Washington Post do so to get news abut national politics. The WaPo readership simply does not care if there was a carjacking in Maryland or a school bpard meeting in Virginia. They want national politics, international headlines. Peoplke turn to the Post to "set the agenda" forn the day's news framing (i.e. the post tells them what to care about). Local news coverage brought in almost nzero readers.

So to summarize - The Post could not trade its influence for Bezos' investment cash because the public doesn't let them influence them anymore. Like a vampire the paper soon exhausted if not his money then his patience.

The bookies also employ highly-paid propagandists on every TV channel, broadcast or cable or streaming, to help set the odds.
Sports sections should be local - HS, College, oddball leagues, etc.
As to WaPo - well, the whole magilla is lame, gay, and rigged up by someone. Fire the news staff, and the press operators. Hire some number of the press operators back on as maintenance staff at their prior rate - they know how to work with their hands and won't let the building or machinery go to seed before it sells.

America just embarrassed two of our biggest geopolitical foes in operations that took mere hours, with no repercussions. Russia is a basket case thanks to their "Special" operation (like the olympics, apparently), so they'll be no help. We just started cranking out hardware domestically like it's the 1940's and there's a weirdo with a funny moustache running around again, and we're selling a huge chunk of that output straight on to the Aussies right in their backyard.
There is no world in which it makes sense for West Taiwan to attack Real China right now. It would be a huge, deadly embarrassment. If Xi wants to murder his own top generals for telling him that, he can go right on ahead. It'll just make him easier to beat when he does get floggy.

Any official method of getting rid of Starmer triggers a general election. A general election where Labour loses its 288 seat majority and becomes a rump party again.
They're trying to pressure him, but everything I've seen says that Starmer has no shame and will just coast through every scandal that hits him because he can just pull new nobodies into his cabinet once others leave.

In early 2025, Fed Gov stopped funding Wash Po through ad buys and subscriptions through direct and indirect means. Thus, Wash Po has to make money on its subscriber base. After a couple months, it has shown it can't, so it's entering the death spiral.
As for why the sports desk is gone - Washington pro sports suck. No one cheers for them; instead, they follow their original home teams (go Eagles)...thus, it's no loss.

Wednesday Morning Rant
No, this week, the nomination comes from The Nation. For what may be the very first time, it is a nomination not for a person, but for a place. And that place is, of course, Minneapolis.
No, I'm not kidding. Why did The Nation nominate the city that has stolen billions and launched an insurgency for the Nobel Peace Prize? In their own words:The people of Minneapolis have suffered countless abuses, including harassment, detention, deportation, and injury. And, in incidents that shocked the world, federal agents have killed multiple residents, including poet and mother of three Renee Nicole Goode and intensive care nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti. In response to these horrific developments, elected officials, clergy, and labor leaders in Minneapolis and Minnesota have called for nonviolent protest, in accordance with the US Constitution's promise that Americans have a right to assemble and petition for the redress of grievances. ...
Through countless acts of courage and solidarity, the people of Minneapolis have challenged the culture of fear, hate, and brutality that has gripped the United States and too many other countries. ...
The people of Minneapolis and their elected leaders have demonstrated an extraordinary and sustained commitment to human dignity and to the protection of vulnerable communities. They have exemplified the desire for democracy and equality and the celebration of difference.This turgid prose is absurd, overwrought, deceitful, superficial, hilariously political, manipulative and out of all proportion to actual events. It is, therefore, the perfect nomination. Don't laugh. I mean it. The apparatchiks in Stockholm have bestowed this prize on so many equally deserving parties. Yasser Arafat was an international terrorist. He won a Nobel Peace Prize. Al Gore is a generational con artist. He won a Nobel Peace Prize. He shares it with the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an organization that systematically destroyed climatology as a legitimate science in order advance global authoritarianism. Barack Obama destroyed domestic race relations, weaponized the US government and made a name for himself drone-striking American citizens and toppling Libya for no reason. He won a Nobel Peace Prize. The UN's World Food Programme is a nexus of corruption that delivers food to warlords. It won a Nobel Peace Prize. The European Union is an imperial superstate masquerading as a democratic organization that destroys the freedoms and economies of Europe. It won a Nobel Peace Prize. I could go on, but I needn't bother. Through its preposterous and hysterical nomination, The Nation has - purely by accident - nominated the single most deserving party for this prize. The Nobel Peace Prize has been in the skin suit stage for generations, and the rotting flesh peeling off the shambling corpse of yet another irrelevant and unfit-for-purpose international organization might as well fall on the Twin Cities.

Minneapolis was the epicenter of the George Floyd riots.
According to everything I've read, after the city and state governments let those fester for weeks, the city simply hollowed out.
Oh, there are still people living there, but anyone with the means who didn't like the situation bugged out of there. To the suburbs, to other parts of Minnesota, to other states.
All that's left are the die hard believers and those who simply don't have the means to leave.

And yet he's one of the few who actually deserved to win.
I know that Dylan has his haters, but there's no denying that he wrote poetry that deeply influenced millions of people, to the extent that would spend their own money to pay to hear it.
He didn't need a gig teaching in an MFA program so he could publish his stuff in a "little magazine" with 30 subscribers. Nor did he need any funding from foundations, nor the National Endowments, nor anything.

No modern city is 100% shit. The rich will keep their playgrounds clean. The suburbs are usually pretty safe (at least relatively so).
It's maintenance of infrastructure for the poorer areas, enforcement of law where the rich don't play, that gets bad first.

The problem is that you can only really test for leaks at the Pad and it has to be done remotely because of the hazard.
So it gets pushed back to the last operation.
I worked the leaks in 1990. At one point NASA sent it's expert on the umbilical to KSC and he's out on the launch platform with us at the pad and he said "Gosh, I've never seen flight hardware before!"

This is BS. I’m not calling on citizens to shoot ICE. I’m calling on ICE to stop shooting citizens.
ICE is a rogue agency hellbent on terrorizing our neighbors and instilling fear in immigrant communities.
They should stop wearing masks, put on a uniform, and start wearing body cameras. Get a judicial warrant, too.

Yes, and they weren't ALL the equivalent of a children's lemonade stand--I saw pictures on one that had so much debris across the road that you weren't driving THRU it unless somebody "opened" it for you. That's blatantly illegal and should have been dismantled within minutes of its construction, but wasn't.

Minneapolis (and MN in general) will happily accept this award and we dedicate it to ALL the people killed by ICE and wrongly prosecuted.
Tim Walz especially deserves it. For looking after the needs of the least of us and amplifying them. For going to bat for teachers and veterans and for taking care of all people including those who did not vote for him.
For speaking up for trans youth and pro choice and our immigrant populations. For sending our national guard out with cocoa and donuts and not face masks, for feeding hungry kids and all our kids breakfast and lunch. For standing up to Facism and Donald Trump.

To be fair, I got the impression that ICE was also picking up people in addition to the ones that were supposed to be picked up at jails. Deportations of people who were associated with the criminal, bonus deportations if you will. These bonuses will no longer be happening, but I guess it is a small price to pay for no longer having retards like Pretti, Good, getting into any more trouble and creating propaganda wins for the left.

ICE is still going into neighborhoods looking for criminal aliens they know about, picking up people they meet along the way.
But, getting some directly from jails after release from local jurisdictional control frees up a lot of resources to do other things than chase down newly released criminals.
It's putting MN on the same grounding as TX in terms of response.

Socialism has a knowledge problem. I don't mean that socialists are ignorant of history, which they are, but that the government cannot get enough information about the economy to run it successfully.
For example you are put in charge of mining. How much iron do you mine compared to nickel, copper, etc? Who knows.
In a capitalist society price tells you. Copper is going up? Good time to set up a copper mine. Oh and and iron is going down? We will close an iron mine and use those resources for the new copper mine

I don't know that those kinds of non-jail pickups won't still be happening. ICE will still be there. If ICE no longer has to go get the criminals in the wild, even with a reduced force they'll still be able to get the ones not in jails.
I also think the population of non-criminal illegals in blue cities is much smaller than many people think it is. Sure, there may be a few Pedros and Marias here and there, but I think a Venn of criminals and illegals is basically a circle. Mostly gang members, career criminals, and sex perverts.

Good summary. Socialism also confuses intent with predicted outcome. Socialists "know" supply and demand curves work to predict outcomes--when they hold the White House they inevitably drain the strategic reserve because they "know" that increasing supply will temporarily reduce gas prices (that have run up because of their horrid policy choices).
And then 15 minutes later the same socialists will cancel drilling rights and propose increases to the minimum wage, completely ignoring supply and demand curves, because "their heart is in the right place, and that's what counts".

They are not “immigrants”. They are illegal aliens.
And, you should be frightened of law enforcement. You’re in the country unlawfully as an alien. You know, not a Citizen. Not a visa holder. Not a “refugee” or other fairy tale descriptions.
It used to be, when the cops rolled down the street in a cop car, if someone started running at full tilt away from them, that was considered probable cause to maybe check that guy out.
The courts thought differently. Believe it or not. The mere presence of Police, and running away, why that’s not suspicious at all! No sir.

DHS is pulling out the extra personnel (ICE retains a field office in St. Paul that won't be empty) probably because MN authorities have already proven their willingness and ability to cooperate.

How hard would it be for DHS to send that 700 back?

Tied in with all that is the guy who sees copper up and iron down, but sticks with the iron mine because he has a really good hunch that those price jumps were temporary and he'll be well poised to be the only guy in town with a working iron mine when it jumps back.

You might like his earliest work, the La Nague series. Enemy of the State is a classic book and what won him his first prize. Economic and political theory thinly disguised as sci fi. F. Paul Wilson is the older sort of libertarian, not a utopian, and he recognizes the various tradeoffs necessary for a society. Including the effects of business corruption, etc.
Wilson, like Michael Crichton, are physicians which probably makes Wilson a little more cognizant of reality than other trades.

They really are glorified "process servers." The targets of their work have already been deported, on paper. They serve the papers, pick up the illegal and put them into the system to be repatriated.
It's when the public or the illegal in question fights them that things get sporty. Or, like in Minneapolis when they have to do a "search and destroy" mission just to find them.
Although not specifically required, non-sanctuary states typically keep the illegal in a local jail so ICE can pick them up without a hassle. MN doesn't.

Now I’m just ambivalent. It is a political calculated risk to take the ‘Rats momentum away. And they were gaining momentum unfortunately at least with the traitorous GOPe types.

From my understanding, a lot of the personnel leaving are Border Patrol, not ICE because with the border crossings at an all time low, Border Patrol is overmanned on the Southern borders and they are more used to rough stuff. It was two Border Patrol personnel that got into it with the unalived dude, not ICE.
Some of the personnel surge from other DHS agencies were there to a) protect federal facilities, b) protect ICE agents as they went about their business. They weren't there themselves to conduct raids but to support and protect those that did.

It's why I was first mystified and then amused by the term "crowdsource/-d/-ing" when it first popped up.
In America, crowdsourcing was previously called "life." But then Keynes came along, and we learned about the miracle of gatekeeping experts who decide everything in their super smart ways, and had to come up with a new word for not listening to queer nerds with a god complex.

His former manager before red diaper baby Jon Landau took over (IIRC around Darkness at the Edge of Town era), mentioned that Springsteen had the chance to really be an artist but Springsteen decided he wanted to be famous instead.
Landau with his journalist connections then set Springsteen up to be a popular tribunal for the Democrats, appear at all sorts of protest song fests, etc. And whatever joy was in Springsteen from his early days was snuffed out in dystopian commie fantasy songs. But the early days nostalgia and the cynicism of Born in the USA album made Springsteen very rich and very famous.

Yes, but that’s a discussion for another time. What they didn’t do notably, were economic crackpot theories that everyone knows don’t work. Because the government wanted to WIN.
When the government wants to succeed at an objective, they can usually do it. Manhattan project. B-29 project. Apollo program.
Now do “immigration”. There is no reason for “failure at the border” than malfeasance and perfidy. It is entirely a matter of “you can bet somebody wants it that way”.

Keynes mostly just formalized the practices of the Bank of London post WWI as it was trying to paper over the massive default that was looming. It is an official method of check kiting and hiding deficits by structuring financials to allow the same money or assets cover multiple debts. The final imprimatur on the system was Keynes formalizing it, and then Churchill supporting it as Exchequer.

That part, we shall see. For the most part, I think the criminal investigations into fraud in MN should take priority after violent raging criminals are removed or detained by ICE. Homan indicated that a lot of their initial targets have been gotten.
ICE was never there in MN for mass deportations but to get the worst of the worst out. The rest are being incentivized to leave by cutting off money and making it harder and harder to skim from fed gov coffers. And the blue states simply do not have the financial resources to keep paying illegals to stay.

Heh. In that case, Springsteen had reason to become famous and rich rather than play places like the Stone Pony perpetually.

But that's not the thing. It's about the power to decide for everyone.
People talk about the Laffer curve and optimal revenues, but it's never been about that, or about stealing the most money.
It's about stealing the largest portion of power, and keeping everyone under your boot, and arbitrary taxation is an excellent means to that end.

37 He took Peter and Zebedee’s two sons with him. He was beginning to feel deep anguish. 38 Then he said to them, “My anguish is so great that I feel as if I’m dying. Wait here, and stay awake with me.”

Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani; and he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray. And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad. Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death: stay you here, and watch with me.
And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me? Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.
Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done. And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy. And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.

The National Gallery Org UK
(In part) This painting was once thought to be by the young Raphael but is now attributed to Lo Spagna, another pupil of Perugino. It is based largely on Perugino’s Agony in the Garden (Uffizi, Florence) which was painted in the 1490s. At this time, artists used various techniques for designing pictures, including transferring figures from cartoons (full size and usually detailed preparations on paper for a painting). Fragments of a pricked cartoon for the four principal figures here are also in the Uffizi.
Full title - The Agony in the Garden
Artist - Probably by Lo Spagna
Artist dates - Active 1504, died 1528
Date made - Perhaps 1500-5
Medium and support - Oil on wood
Enjoy looking at this painting but probably wouldn't hang it.
Thank you.

I am now that group's social director, and gave some idea to reduce social isolation. The idea most liked was to go to an Indian casino about two hours away. This will give the former indigenous population a chance to siphon money from the sweat equity settlers.

Agendas.
Send money now to defeat the Democrats!, We have to have mass amnesty because the public hates meanies, Trump is failing so tariffs have to go, etc. etc.
Tom Servo laid out the oddity of this special election. The main useful bits are that having a special election on Saturday in a very cold and nasty winter attracted minimal voters. The second is that this election would have not be necessary had the Democrats not ran a fake GOP candidate to split the vote so that a runoff was necessary.

Why does our own side just freak out about a completely meaningless special election (I mean completely...the guy isn't even going to ever cast a vote from that TX special election) but ignore others that are positive?
Don't get me wrong...special elections are not predictive of the next general election. They simply are not. You can't get meaningful information from a 15% turnout election to predict a 67% turnout election (or, sometimes, 85%). The electorates are simply different. That 15% isn't a random sample of the larger electorate. It's not predictive.
I'm interested in the narrative creation...especially from the right. The left touting a D overperformance makes sense. The right ignoring R overperformance? Why?

Doesn't fit agendas of Conservative Media TM as I explained above.
A) Doomer media is a kink for Conservative Media
B) Everyone knows that state GOP parties are in effect dog shit incompetent if not maliciously incompetent.
C) The issues crowd that wants their issue to the fore being a cause of the loss--deportations, tariffs, interest rates, national defense, the SAVE act, etc. etc. for the loss.
D) The audience out there expects the Washington Generals GOPe to appear in every election. They expect such losses, more so as their engagement with mass media increases.
E) Panicking people is a good way to shake the trees for campaign donations which accrue right now to the parties, not necessarily the individual candidates.
F) People that despise the GOP for its eternal flop act over the last 50 years or so.

I think the trees might be young olive trees. I should know, as I have an olive tree 10 feet from where I sit, and I planted it as a sapling, but they still look kind of weird. I say young because they are very leggy when young, and it takes a few years to spread out. So young olive would fit the theme, overall.

There are similar parallels with the 1950s and recognition of communist subversion and the moslem threat.
They attack the messenger, and never the substance of the actual charges. Truman was a great guy in a lot of ways, but he had all the State Department personnel files, the loyalty and background checks sent to the White House and wouldn’t let anybody see them on the investigation committees. The F.B.I. had done their work very well, it was the enforcement part of the equation that fell apart.

The high propensity voters are now Democrats. That's just the world we live in.
Mitt Romney won us the high propensity voters but lost us the low propensity voters. Trump does the opposite.
Not even Obama's team could figure out how to turn low propensity voters into high ones (that's why they got blown out in the midterms, the low props didn't show up). Trump flipped that.
We either salve our wounds with the fact that Trump now controls immigration enforcement, or we have to dismantle the electorate that made that possible so we can win less important races.
The best we can do is try to turn low propensity voters into regular voters on an individual level.

Modern conservatism is pessimism. Commies are utopian by nature and millennialists--that is they believe in their ultimate victory regardless of setbacks.
Modern conservatism is a perfect example of a self fulfilling prophesy that infects too many adherents. To these sorts, the current status quo is the best we can expect, while what is yet to come is worse.
Same attitude that built the Maginot Line in France.

The online narrative around her from the left once she announces is going to be vicious. Online, the left is very progressive and very white, the kind of people who think Beshear has a shot at the nomination.
However, once she sews it up, they'll all be back to loving the coconut memes because she's the most qualified candidate in history being VP for four years, unlike JD Vance who was only VP for four years.

The Iranian hostage crisis and associated antics were inexcusable, and Carter deserves the ridicule he gets for it. We also blame him for losing Iran in general, which he did.
But, what actually happened there?
1.) Our corrupt puppet commits too many excesses
2.) It engenders a revolt by Islamists
3.) Carter bails on the Shah; the Islamists win and become an intractable problem
So, not great.
But what if Step 3 were different, and Carter hadn't bailed on our client state, and backed its regime to the hilt, instead?
Because if you make that change, the progression sounds exactly like the run up to the Soviet disaster in Afghanistan.
Carter's pusillanimity may have spared us a great deal of heartache.

I’ve been saying for a while now - maybe Dewey really DID defeat Truman.
There is (or was) an ebb and flow to politics. Democrats had held the presidency for four (4) straight terms. For that reason alone, it’s a bit of a stretch. The electorate will simply say “let’s try the other guys for a while”. And then they remember why they hate the other guys, too. But the principle is a sound one.
To me it looks like the Democrats wanted to short circuit this natural ebb and flow, and prevent the Nixon Reagan style of wipeout.
Note well they no longer concern themselves with tacking to the center after a good shellacking, something last seen in the 1990s with Clinton. They don’t think they need to, and if they can steal elections, they are probably right. Very convenient, that.

If outsiders take over a local party operation, they find it stripped of any money and no ability to raise money nor operate. If they take over a state operation, then you get the same fight by insider GOPe types to subvert and destroy what they cannot control by lawfare and any other means.
Those interest groups shelling out money in state and local races expect to get their money's worth in access and legislation/contracts. The campaign consultants despise volunteers because they get very little compensation to manage them. Instead, they get a share of media ad placements, often own the robocall monstrosities, and get a chunk from mailers win or lose. Voter mobilization is the last thing on their mind--they still run the same campaigns as they did in the 00's.
Old story about Chicago's party system regarding volunteers--"We don't want nobody that nobody sent" (Abner Mikva).

Britain has a long history of gender blind casting, especially in stage and theatre. Their take on Frankenstein had the new Moneypenny as Elizabeth and the actors that plays Kingsley Shacklebot as her dad.
If it was a documentary I'd be pissed, but Nolan's making a Greek fantasy. I'm still surprised that LGBT mafia hasn't canceled him over the trans actor Page being cast as a one eyed monster.

We met in the Army, the duty roster brought us together. I was a SP4, she was a PFC. She immediately recognized me as a card carrying e4 mafioso and took charge of my half assed slap dashery attitude when we began dating. I asked her marry me two weeks later, and we closed the deal with a Justic of the Peace four weeks later. I started calling her 'Sergeant Major' and eventually adopted the Army slang for a Sergeant Major by shortening it to Smash.

Starmer will probably be forced out, but through unofficial methods. The official ones trigger general elections where Labour will lose its majority. There's a 0% chance of a snap election before the next scheduled election.
England is in for it. Hopefully Reform, when it takes power, actually exerts that power. Parliament is supreme and can do pretty much whatever it wants.
Maybe by that point, Parliament will be willing to do mass deportations.

They also bear in mind that when Iger got replaced the first time, the new CEO got removed from office by daring to challenge Iger's and his yes men's ideas. Disney needs to cast its broadcast and declining cable properties off now to invest in its streaming, movies, and parks, but I don't know if the Iger yes men will allow that.
Disney also needs to can the woke bit for movies and parks and offer value again to families with children.
Elderly Disney adult groupies, perverts, and foreigners are probably going to be a declining market going forward. Sticking with those values is likely to not produce growth going forward. Once again, Iger's yes men inside the company are likely to try to remove a CEO that dares to move Disney that way.

Death of a Salesman, while trying to be a social commentary on the times, does address that poignant issue of aging and longing for a past mythical time when anything seemed possible.
Something that might be of interest to you is trying to capture that lost halcyon days of youth in short stories about different events in your youth and understanding you as a youth in relation to you as now. If you have children, they might be interested in that in the future, but even if no one else is interested, you will have gotten to revisit your memories, good and bad of a past age inaccessible any other way.

Joyce's stylistic meanderings are a heavy mask on the point of the narrative, but piercing it ends up worthwhile to a degree.
English majors only apply, though.
Finnegan's Wake, now...I tried. I really tried. I think I got 30 pages into it before I gave up.

I found Churchill's A History of the English Speaking Peoples far more interesting than Joyce.
And a typical O Henry short story has more heart and humor than Joyce ever showed me.

Helpful tip: when playing that common bar game "name all of the Magnificent Seven actors", start with Brad Dexter, because that's the guy that everyone gets hung up on.
Funny thing though, when I consider Dexter's performances I always remember him as the American POW sergeant in Von Ryan's Express. Mainly because he's a fat guy playing a POW. He has to suck in his flabby gut even more than I do.

Something that might be of interest to you is trying to capture that lost halcyon days of youth in short stories about different events in your youth and understanding you as a youth in relation to you as now. If you have children, they might be interested in that in the future, but even if no one else is interested, you will have gotten to revisit your memories, good and bad of a past age inaccessible any other way.

Sage advice, per usual whig.
I'm terrified of retirement from work later this year.
As a young adult I was at workaholic in the software industry and hated it -- kept quitting jobs and searching for something else (should have learned a trade and become my own boss as I am now).
Worked through an interesting book called "Zen and The Art of Making a Living."
Just dug that out of storage during the past 30 years to review and try and regain & recapture that youthful inquisitiveness ... in search of new purpose

The Morning Report — 2/4/26
Democrat Congressman Jerry Nadler referred to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents as “goons” and argued people would be “justified” in shooting them during masked arrests in remarks at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. . . Nadler’s comments come amid a broader pattern of aggressive rhetoric toward ICE from some Democratic officials. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz previously described the agency as “Trump’s modern-day Gestapo,” while Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas compared ICE to “slave patrols.”There isn''t a construction crane sturdy enough or with anti-corrosion paint sturdy enough to resist the flatus and halitosis to hang this repulsive criminal degenerate lipid mass from. But then again, there's this item that puts a bit of a twist on the aforementioned . . .
The correct number of illegal alien cops should be zero, but as Maria Medvin notes that with the arrest of the latest illegal alien recruit in New Orleans, the number is now up to three. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a New Orleans Police Department recruit from Cameroon who was issued a firearm despite an active deportation order, just one week before he was set to graduate from the police academy. You may also remember the one in Maine. “Jon Luke Evans not only broke U.S. immigration law, but he also illegally attempted to purchase a firearm. Shockingly, Evans was employed as a local law enforcement officer,” said ICE ERO Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia H. Hyde. “The fact that a police department would hire an illegal alien and unlawfully issue him a firearm while on duty would be comical if it weren’t so tragic. We have a police department that was knowingly breaking the very law they are charged with enforcing in order to employ an illegal alien.“Somehow, I cannot imagine Nadler rushing to the defense of anyone who preemptively shoots an ICE or Police Officer and claiming self defense because they couldn't be sure he was a real officer or a foreign national posing as one! Especially if the officer was an illegal alien which is a distinct possibility these days! Of course then the solution will be what is now evidently happening just north of the Minnesota border in Canada!
Hundreds of thousands of Canadians could face prison time if they do not turn in their newly prohibited guns under a supposedly “voluntary” gun buyback program that is testing the strength of Canada’s bureaucratic regime. Since May 2020, the Canadian government has attempted to institute a massive “assault-style firearms compensation program” that will purportedly trade cash for prohibited guns. If Canadians do not turn in a prohibited gun by October 2026, they could face up to five years in prison. The program has faced massive pushback from provincial leaders and gun rights organizations who say it will only disarm law-abiding Canadians. . . Today, the government describes participation in the gun buyback program as “voluntary” but that compliance with the gun ban is required. . . “This is not about confiscation. This is about voluntary return of firearms for compensation,” Carney said during a podcast in September 2025. “People aren’t going around confiscating guns. Anyone who says that, that is a mischaracterization, what it is is an opportunity for Canadians to return guns for compensation.Per the article, there are allegedly carve-outs for hunters and Indian tribes but should this madness creep south of the border the biggest carve out will be for Antifa, BLM and believe it or not the Students for a Democratic Society?! RUFKM? THey're still a thing?"
Meh, same old shit, different decade.
A University of Minnesota student group has emerged as a leader behind illegal—and sometimes violent—anti-ICE agitation gripping Minneapolis. It's a significant shift for the school's Students for a Democratic Society chapter, which roughly one year ago stormed a campus building in an anti-Israel raid, trapping employees inside and causing tens of thousands of dollars in property damage. The group, known as UMN SDS, organized a Jan. 28 protest outside a hotel located on campus that was allegedly housing ICE agents. Dozens of agitators swarmed the Graduate by Hilton and rocked police barricades, pounded on drums and pans, set off noisemakers, and shouted "Fuck ICE" at local and state law enforcement. University police eventually declared it an unlawful assembly and arrested 67 protesters, including Jack Louis Nimz—a public school teacher, the president of SDS's national arm, and one of the radicals arrested for storming the campus building in October 2024.Elsewhere as President Trump is seemingly poised to pound the shit out of mullahs in Tehran, I present the most clueless essay of the day for your ridicule and amusement. I give you the headline and subhead which is really all you need to know.
Trump's Gaza Plan Can Overcome Ideology — History demonstrates that when parties gain a direct stake in peace through finance and security, behavior changes.The author clearly has zero understanding of Islam and its history of bloodletting coupled with deceit in its eternal quest to dominate all of humanity. Unfortunately, as I have said and written about many times over the past year or so, it seems as if President Trump also does not understand or refuses to consider this as it would derail his political agenda at home and abroad. There is no such thing as radical or fundamentalist Islam. Islam in and of itself is both those things. Of course that is a political third rail that cannot be touched. Perhaps there are moderating forces in some of the countries that have established relations with Israel via the Abraham Accords, as well as political and even some strategic benefits in the short term. But the ultimate aim is the destruction of the state of Israel, the death or subjugation of every Jew and other infidels and the establishment of the global caliphate. Anyone who expects the Islamic/Arab world to reject some let alone all of Koranic teaching vis a vis the aforementioned is clueless, period full stop. Go read any of Robert Spencer's brilliant scholarly works on this and then get your mind right. Psaki-Psircling back to the insurrection here at home, as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast linked here and in the sidebar as well as the usual outlets listed at the bottom of the post, President Trump must move swiftly and decisively to crush this. At the very least the sources of funding and political cover that are fanning the flames have got to be ripped out root and branch. Dig far enough down, meh just below the surface, and you will find the Democrat National Committee.
“Federal investigators have reportedly uncovered a “massive underground fraud network” in Minneapolis linked to the anti-ICE movement.. . .

Had one of my recurrent dreams last night. I have some place to go, a few miles away. I have to go on foot. My travel involves numerous discrete episodes where I pass with difficulty through streets, buildings, passageways and occasionally houses. Often on the journey I meet people from my past. I never arrive at my destination.
I know, this means I'm either homosexual or want to sleep with my mother.

There really isn't a good way to describe these people anymore. Nothing fits that truly encapsulates their evil.

Seems like they'd have to do it similar to how they do waterways. They regulate where you launch, and where you dock ... and once you're three miles off or seven miles or whatever that number is - you're kind of on your own.
Whenever we get to that point, a generation or two from now, it would seem like the next Land Rush would be on. Who can get to the Moon ... just to claim it and make it a port. Who can then get to Mars ? And so on.

Winchester Crown Court heard that she stopped officers entering her home for “some minutes” and spoke to her son in Urdu to “assist” him in concealing a phone, which contained a video of the alleged sex attack.
Khan is accused of giving the girl, who cannot be named for legal reasons, MDMA and vodka in June 2024 before raping her when she “blacked out”.
Prosecutors said that when she awoke in the back seat of his car without any clothes on, Khan showed her a video of him having sex with her, choking her and slapping her face.

I'm having a hard time believing it's taking so long to make these connections. Everything is electronic. Everything is traceable, I'd imagine, in a very quick time span. They should've known from nearly day 1 who was financially behind this disgraceful mayhem. The networks should've been frozen from the beginning, yet it appears they're till operating freely. Why are there not arrests already being made when electronic records are instantly gettable by the Feds? What am I missing?

Why didn't we scoop these people up off the streets temporarily when it was too cold to be out? Putting them literally anywhere inside would have kept them alive.
Some people's idea of fixing a problem is to send a bunch of goons to coerce people. Which explains a lot. It's literally just kidnapping to do that lmao. Insane that people don't realize it.
Rather watch them overdose and die or freeze to death, obviously it the more humane option than forceful institutionalization on the mentally insane people. /s

They've been there for quite a while. Ever worked in Canada ? I have.

They simply don't care - because its "their" government.

Most people simply do not care. The sooner you embrace that, the easier everything becomes. Things are this way because that's what most people want. They don't care if its just or unjust. Fair or unfair. Worldviews have very, very little to do with cause and effect or any kind of rational thought.

We had about 45 years of shared interests, until the fall of Communism in Europe. Now we have nothing in common. We're returning to the pre-WWII days.
Back then, a US military attaché was asked on his return what the British thought of Americans. His reply was, "They view us as we would a prosperous n****r."
There's nothing new about their attitude. There's nothing they can say that we haven't heard for the last 250 years. Maybe it had a point when they were powerful, growing nations. Now that they're broken-down wrecks, it sounds awfully hollow.

Yesterday I watched some of the post-screw-up press conference in Florida, with top SLS design and launch managers. Phrases that stick in my mind:
"Hydrogen is a slippery molecule."
"We tried for the first time a contingency op to send technicians to the pad during prop loading, to inspect the interface. Based on this we now have this pad op in our toolbox for future launches."
Ugh.
NASA-Marshall and KSC and their contractors have no credible excuses for leaks re-occurring after Artemis 1, over a year ago. I believe they never assigned top people to design and operate this interface. I saw similar problems and causes while I worked on Shuttle Program while at JSC (Houston). Top people will now be assigned to fix it.

Kennedy went to school—as a child and not living in Baltimore until college, when he attended Johns Hopkins University, another elite private school.

That's quite a sign. Nonetheless, I'm not holding a Bic to my hair over it. We'll see how it plays out in November when people actually go to the polls in normal numbers. Personally, I vote in about 95% of any election that comes around. There are circumstances where I know it doesn't matter and don't bother with the other 5%. I'd be darned sure to be there in November though when it will actually count.

I can make you a pretty good argument that ANY job so important it must be performed by Government shouldn't be unionized.
Simply because Government is the only entity that must, by definition, hold a monopoly on that service. As such, no competitive market forces exist as a check on the power of those supplying that service.
So ... no Union should ever exist for those supplying those services. End of story.

See, it's sold as requiring proof of legal right in the US to work; citizenship, etc.
Reality?
It only requires the employer to obtain the required number of official documents.
No matter how fraudulent.
No matter how clearly, obviously, laughably fraudulent.
See, the I-9 form and the attached copies go ... no where. They go in the employee file.*
That's it.
No requirement they verify authenticity.
If we can make CEO's criminally liable for false statements in annual reports, we should make them criminally liable for not reporting use of fraudulent identification documents.
* In case ICE raids. And then they show the file with the copy of the fraudulent DL and SSN card and ... that's it--they complied with the law.

Simply because Government is the only entity that must, by definition, hold a monopoly on that service. As such, no competitive market forces exist as a check on the power of those supplying that service.
So ... no Union should ever exist for those supplying those services. End of story.
Posted by: Mortimer Duke
I will take that one step further. Government jobs are paid for by the taxpayers. Government unions get pay raises and benefits that are negotiated without consulting taxpayers. So, those who are actually paying for these things don't have a say. At least private unions are getting their pay and benefits based on the profitability of the corporation, and not an unending stream of money based on arbitrary taxation.

Elsa should become a Florence Nightingale type for the homeless, but then gets hooked on tranq because of the guilt and trauma after she freezes all the city's vagrants to death during an emotional outburst.
Enter the princely, charming Arab mayor, who rescues her from the gutter where she's blowing hobo snowmen for counterfeit oxycontin, and polishes her back into a princess, who he marries, and then out of gratitude, Anna marries him too.
Together, they clean out the city treasury and abscond to his home in the desert, where it never snows, and they can leave the pain in the past.

20-30 years ago groups of right leaning individuals joined together in militias arguing they had the right to defend themselves from an over aggressive government. After Ruby Ridge and Waco this was not an idle concern.
The FNM treated them as terrorists and constantly called for them to be arrested - not because they were doing anything other then training together but they could attack the government!
Now we have leftwing militias that are actually attacking government agents. And the FNM is cheering them on.

Only allow a union to organize as part of one company. EG you can have a Ford Union and a GM Union not a general autoworkers union.
Why would this matter? The union would have to consider their impact on the specific company they are under. If Ford Autoworkers demand and get a contract that bankrupts the company that union dies too and hopefully the GM union leaders learn...

There is plenty of evidence supporting the idea that during the Hebrew enslavement in Egypt, leadership was concerned that due to the prosperity and growth of Egypt that the Pharaoh would be overthrown. The remedy was to emasculate the men. Roles were reversed "in honor of Isis", men stayed at home, women were the bread-winners.
In other words, leadership thought by emasculating men that they could retain power. Ultimately, immigration killed Egypt as the Hyksos overran the weakened state after the Hebrew Exodus.
During the desert sojourn, Wokeism spread to The Promised Land which would explain why the Hebrew spies came upon Rahab the Innkeeper, and why there was no military resistance to the fall of Jericho and other towns.
Wokeness completely destroyed society's ability to prosper and to defend itself - and it was overrun by foreigners who kept their "toxic masculinity".

Diced chicken thighs
Diced onion
Crushed red pepper
Minced garlic
Salt to taste
White pepper to taste
Combine in a medium sized stock pot with a tablespoon of olive oil and cook over medium heat until chicken is done.
Lower the heat and add
chicken stock
Two small cans of sliced button mushrooms(drained and rinsed)
2-3 cans of beans(drained and rinsed)
Two small cans of diced green chilies (I use the hot kind)
Simmer over low heat until flavors are blended.
I always add more white pepper. Use whatever beans you prefer. I use Great Northern beans because they soak up the other flavors. This soup goes together quickly and easily. Start to finish ready to eat in less than an hour.. Enjoy!

Don't take Nephilim if you're allergic to it, or any of it's ingredients.

But here's the thing ... and this is a VERY interesting topic to me ... I seen first-hand that most people are predisposed to certain indoctrination. Take my own kids. You bet I indoctrinated the shit out of them. Counter-programmed all the crap taught in schools. My alternative lessons on the Civil War and Nelson Mandela were classics.
Yet the daughter ? Moved out, and in one year of community college that was all for naught. The son ? It took - although he's not as militant as I am. Of course, neither were Franco or Pinochet.
My point ? Sure, alternatives can be provided. But people seek their level. You won't change them. Why do they do this ? I can't say, other than most people reject logic. Because logic is friggin' hard and ignorance is bliss.

As the end of the article itself states:
A cubit is roughly 18 inches, so four cubits would be six feet, while five cubits would be about seven-and-a-half feet. According to ChatGPT, adult men in the Old Testament era were around 5’4”, and adult women stood around 5’1”. So someone taller than six feet would seem like a giant.
Naturally, there are those who want to womp-womp all over this news, claiming that there’s no archaeological evidence for “giants,” but the Egyptian papyrus merely describes people who are as tall as NBA players. It might not clear up all the mysteries of the Nephilim, but it’s always exciting to find other accounts that confirm or back up what the Bible says.
This is news?

And that the filibuster is the single greatest accomplishment of the republic and the greatest protector of the republic forever and ever amen.
Guess how many state senates have a filibuster super-majority requirement?
Seven.
43 states allow the filibuster to be broken by a simple majority vote.
That's how "enshrined in the very fabric of America" it is.
But, it is extremely exhausting to see theses Always Wrong assholes pretend the filibuster will last longer than a single day if ever the Dems take back the Senate.

And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

One of the most important things you can teach kids is how to think critically. We can’t be there all the time to set them straight. And none of us are experts in all subject matters.
Logical fallacies, and how to spot them. How rhetoric works. Debate. These are lifelong skills that work as a type of built in bullshit detector. Make it a game, ask your kid to “spot the logic fallacy” when a local water walker starts his BS, or a national politician.
There’s a reason public schools have erased these skills. They don’t want people to think, much less think for themselves. An educated populace won’t go along with their fairy tales.
Rote memorization isn’t bad, it is extremely useful. History, even trivia, can allow one to make important comparisons and counterpoints. They depend on your ass being ignorant.
Arithmetic and Math is practically outlawed or soon will be, in America. There’s a reason for that. “White Supremacy” they claim. If a foreign country tried this stuff it would rightly be considered an act of War.

That is in the Constitution itself. States can run their own elections for their offices if not violating the VRA (15th Amendment specifically gives Congress separate power to regulate there), federal office elections are a federal, not state, concern.
Art I, Sec. 4, Clause 1
"The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators."
Ditto for a time and means of choosing presidential electors in Article II, Sec. 1, Clause 4.

And if they have a curious mind, something will trigger some calculations. They will he a natural skeptic. And while they may get caught up in the peer pressure and operant conditioning (that’s why progressives focus on Children, after all) they will eventually realize it’s all bullshit.
And they will be crushed. But they at least have a choice in their mind. And if they grow up, then they likely won’t end up in permanent adolescents in an elderly body, spouting off bullshit. It’s a real mind fuck they have done to generations in this country. That is not surprising, it was intended to be. The best that money can buy.

Caught On Hidden Camera: FBI Official Admits Minnesota Fraud Investigations Will Result In Zero Arrests
“I don't think anybody [Daycare Fraud Criminals] would ever go to prison.”
“We're [DOJ/FBI] just going to point somebody.”
“By the time that case is done even being looked at, and ready to go to court, Trump won't even be in office anymore.”
"He's [Kash Patel] not good at his job..he [Patel] just wasn't ready."
Captured on hidden-camera a current FBI Security Specialist revealing how the FBI actually operates, admitting the Bureau will walk out major fraud and corruption cases.
According to this FBI official, financial crimes “can take literally years”. So by the time investigations are ready, President Trump will be out of office, judges will throw cases out, and accountability will be dead.
This is now the 7th FBI / DOJ official O'Keefe Media has caught on hidden camera in the past year admitting the same reality:
- No Arrests
- No Urgency
- No Accountability
Why does it take a hidden camera and a night out with a complete stranger to get the truth?
Our system is broken. The American people deserve better.

Seems for years we've missed the addition of the word 'New' before Students for Democratic Society, reformed in 2006 by 2 HS kids who reached out to (Robert) Alan Haber for help.
(In 1960, Alan Haber was elected as the first president of the now-defunct Students for a Democratic Society and, reportedly, at 89 remains a member with some other old, original SDS starters.)
The Freedom Road Socialist Organization also helped create new SDS. FRSO is a Communist political party formed in 1985. Its Anti-War Committee (AWC), a grassroots political organization started in 2002, is still based in the Twin Cities area.
Among highlights of the groups, in 2008 the New SDS and the Anti-War Committee converged on St. Paul, Minnesota to participate in four days of protest against the Republican National Convention.
Both the New SDS and the Anti-War Committee are active throughout the nation, i.e., "Tucson Anti-War Committee joins thousands to protest Trump on January 20."
Now I'm thinking the SDS and Jane Fonda reliving youth. Maybe that's why the old bat is back in the news squawking about the arrest of Don Lemon.
Good day. 🤗

Daily Tech News 4 February 2026
Top Story
- How it started: Europe shrugs off tariffs and plans to end its complete reliance on America for all its technology. (The Register)
Except for ASML, anyway.Forrester frames much of this as a sovereignty play, and it is hard to argue otherwise. Across Europe, money is going into sovereign cloud platforms, AI-ready infrastructure, and tighter rules on where data lives and who can access it.
This is not a privacy question. It is a control question.
- How it's going: Amazon is finding that Europe is not exactly a powerhouse when it comes to, well, power. (The Register)
AWS has moved quickly to flood the European continent with its elastic compute fabric, but while it may take two years to bring a new datacenter online, securing power for the facilities can take up to seven years, Pamela MacDougall, who heads energy markets and regulation for AWS EMEA, said in an interview with Reuters this week.
I can fit you in at 2PM on the eleventh of Never.According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in some European datacenter meccas, like Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam, Paris, and Dublin, this wait can extend to as much as a decade.
I'm not sure this is going to work as you planned, guys.
Tech News
- China's latest Loongson 3B6000 twelve core CPU is about as fast as a two-core AMD processor. (Tom's Hardware)
At that the 3B6000 is a big advance over the 3A6000, which is about as fast as a two-core AMD processor from 2011.
- Western Digital plans to introduce 40TB hard drives later this year. (Tom's Hardware)
And 100TB models by 2029.
- ChatGPT went down. (9to5Mac)
I asked ChatGPT about this and it confirmed the incident, which is a major advance over even a year ago.
- Vibe coding kills open source. (Arxiv) (PDF)
AI coding tools just grab the code and make no contributions of any kind.
- Well, that's not entirely true: AI tools are overwhelming GitHub with slop. (The Register)
Slop that GitHub's parent company Microsoft spent billions to help foster.
- Yet another Forbes 30 Under 30 star has been indicted for fraud. (Tech Crunch)
The government also accuses Güven of having kept two separate sets of financial books. One of those sets included "false and inflated numbers," and was presented to investors or potential investors to hide the "true financial condition of the company," the government claims. The DOJ also alleges that Güven used lies about Kalder as well as forged documents to obtain a category of visa reserved for individuals of "extraordinary ability," that would allow her to live and work in the United States.
I am shocked, shocked, to find fraud going on in this fraud farm.

I have a set of cheap cheap Wally World aluminum Teflon pots and pans with shiny bottoms.
40 min. on high, stock pot had reached 195, barely boiling. Spray Painted the bottom black with some high heat automotive paint.
13 minutes to a full rolling boil.

No American has been punished at all, except for maybe Jesse Staley. But Bill Clinton or Gates? Bill Richardson is dead, so they can't go after him. Larry Summers is laying low. Leon Black and Josh Harris are similarly staying away from the news.

We have light rain and temps in the mid-50s. The rain should blow out around eight am, and Miss Linda and I are not setting out for the aquarium until after nine, so that's all right.
In other news, I accidentally locked Stirling in the kitchen closet. All night. Well, five hours and a bit. Both cats love to go into the closets while I have the door open, and they have never learned they can get shut in when their manservant doesn't notice. I try to check on them before I leave the house or go to bed. But last night I missed. He didn't do any damage, and I'll feed them a little early, so I guess it's no problem.

There was a nice ,young ( well, young to me, maybe late 30's ?) with her two girls who were 3 and 5 in the coffee shop. They were adorable and smiling . One was making a snow man with play doh. For some reason she thought I could blow up balloons. It made me laugh. The mother also had two little boys in school/ one so not there. They are 10 and 11. She is doing her part to help the population.
Had a lovely Bible study at the senior center.
And finally, I had a laugh when I went out for.a burger. There was a man there with his siding crew and I asked if he could twist the cap off my iced tea He said, "My wife loves me for doing this for her ." I said, "Sir, I'm sure your wife loves you for many other reasons than that, but this is a nice quality husbands have." He laughed. It's good to laugh.

Feel good story 13-year-old Ditches Lifejacket and Makes ‘Superhuman’ Swim to Save Family Swept out to Sea
A 13-year-old boy has been hailed as a hero after swimming 4 hours through rough seas to rescue his family. A family of 4 was enjoying a holiday in Australia’s southwest coast near Quindalup when strong winds blew their inflatable paddleboards out to sea. The boy was separated from his mom and 2 siblings before his canoe began to take on water. Wearing a life-jacket, he began to swim against the wind towards the shore, knowing every second counted in the race to get help to save his family. *** “And the brave fella thought he’s not going to make it with a life jacket on, so he ditched it, and he swam the next 2 hours without a life jacket,” said Bresland. “I thought, ‘Mate, that is incredible.'” Once ashore he successfully raised the alarm and a multi-agency search and rescue operation was mobilized, including Western Australia state Water Police and its rescue helicopter. The teen provided detailed descriptions of the paddleboards, and within the hour, his family was rescued by boat, having drifted 7 miles out into the Indian Ocean.2 hours of swimming?!?

The wraparound windshield once was a trend in the automotive world. It's a design solution in which the windshield is built forming a curve toward each side of the cabin. As a result, the frontmost pillars, the ones between the windshield and the front window of each side, are displaced away from the car's front end, and the window next to it becomes narrower. That solution has been used on the rear windshield, too, where the wraparound design displaces the rearmost pillars in the opposite way — or, sometimes, wraps around the other way. This trend is credited to the 1951 GM Le Sabre, a concept car dreamed up by Harley Earl and inspired by jet fighters — remember, jet design was all the rage in America back then. The Le Sabre's wraparound windshield resembled the canopies used in jet fighters and only became a reality after the industry spent years improving the technology for it. After GM started using it in mass production in 1953, Ford and Chrysler quickly followed suit. Over the following years, it was used on other cars despite the need to adapt the original design — the Le Sabre was a convertible concept car, so it didn't have the conventional roof and windows of a sedan or station wagon. Sadly, wraparound windshields were largely dropped from automotive design in the 1960s; newer examples are much rarer. Among the practical reasons, having such a large glass area made the cabin excessively hot, especially in warm weather, and occupants would feel too visible from the outside. From a technical point of view, the curved glass causes some distortion on the sides. Besides, using larger glass areas led to making the pillars thinner, which raised concern that the cabin would become less resistant in a collision.Check out the whole thing.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 01, 2026 11:18 PM (8zz6B)
Just read the comments, and here are answers to some questions/comments: Location of the Alberta sunset (and previous photo of sunrise) is extreme SW Alberta, east of Waterton Lakes National Park. The mountains are the southern Canadian Rockies. And yes, the hedge is caragana. Anyone can have one, but the secret is to have personally planted it fifty years ago.

Otherwise, the total amount of glass and the amount of solar heat admitted is the same with a curved windshield. You have more windshield and less side glass, but the total amount of glass is more or less the same.

I often stayed awake at night with a tinny little multiband radio listening to an FM station hoping to hear “Time Passages”. Al Stewart is a raging lefty despite studying history but he was an amazing songwriter.
“And it’s kind of hot and smoky
In this anteroom to Hell
And I won’t make up a story
‘Cause you know the truth so well
It’s much too late to worry
That we never had a chance
And when Joe the Georgian gets here
We will dance…”

• there were 2 Republicans and 1 Demonic Party candidates, which forced a run-off because the Demonic Party candidate didn't score a majority.
• no one showed up for the run-off since it was terribly cold and icy
• and the Win would be just a Participation Trophy since the legislature, outside a special session, doesn't convene again until 2027.
I want the GOP to be scared that they can lose very easily, but OTOH, why piss away good campaign money to win a scrimmage and not a game?

Saw Zep in the summer of 77, Physical Graffiti tour, at the Kingdome. Tops my list of concerts seen. Dang near 4 hour show. There was a significant amount of stuff that probably isn't listed on the set list. Plant feeds off the audience, Page is in some other dimension ( I lost track of how many guitars he had) and the connection between Bonham and Jones was unbelievable. There is an infamous bootleg tape of that performance.

The trick was to make the OD gear ratio "out of the pattern", or "dogleg", so one wouldn't inadvertently go into that gear - especially going uphill, under heavy load, or attempting to pass.

This car came to me without overdrive. I added it, using all factory parts. The difference is night and day. Get it out on the freeway, and In third direct, it struggles to make 75 mph. Drop it into overdrive, and it cruises quietly at 75. And if you need to accelerate quickly to pass, just floorboard the accelerator, and it kicks down to direct, same as passing gear in an automatic. Around town, shifting automatically between second direct and second over, you can drive for miles without ever having to place a foot on the clutch pedal. Only if you have to come to full stop.

The Borg-Warner overdrive, which all North American brands used, in one form or another, had an overrunning clutch in direct drive mode, so no engine braking. Once overdrive kicked in, you had engine braking, but it was not real strong, because of the gear ratio in effect. Second overdrive is very close to third direct, and engine braking in second over is useful. If you are in a situation where you really need engine braking, like descending a mountain grade, you pull on the lockout handle and lock the overdrive out, and you have engine braking in all gears.

Neither the Borg Warner or the Laycock could be added to an existing transmission. The transmission case and mainshaft had to be made to accept the overdrive unit. In the case of my Lark, to switch from straight 3-speed to overdrive, it was 1. remove straight 3 speed, 2. install overdrive transmission, 3. install lockout cable and wiring.

Posted by: man at February 03, 2026 11:40 PM (XuXeR)
Lanceros and lonsdales are the most difficult cigars to blend and roll (I guess some of the figurados are also hard to roll). I believe that often a factory will have only a few people capable of rolling them.
And the blending is challenging because there's so little filler to work with, vs. binder and wrapper. And of course combustion is a special problem with such thin cigars, for the same reason (filler/wrapper ratio).

The different vitolas (shapes and sizes) of many cigars will vary quite a bit in their flavor. Some makers will blend each vitola separately, to achieve a uniform profile across the line. Others just keep the same blend, and the different sizes can be very different. Part of the challenge and fun of trying different examples of a particular cigar.

MIT/MITre plan'd this
Bitcoin was a reason to fund the development of GPU's to perform high performance image recognition (early 2000's), facial recognition (2010's), masked undisguisers (covid 19 plandemic) to give us the trajectory to gAI which will eliminate "normal people" entirely from the landscape one, way or another.

My stepdad and I did that once. I really liked the 1502 Blue Sapphire lancero, and got a sampler that had the Blue Sapphire in a toro, so we decided to taste them side by side.
It really made a difference in the taste. I still preferred the lancero, but Stepdad liked the toro better.

I keep notes on new sticks when I try them. Really helps over time, keeping track of what worked and what didn't. And now I always buy 2 or 3 singles of a new-to-me cigar. A sample size of one is often a poor reflection of the line, there are individual cigars that are just not right (humidification or other condition, a "lemon" that wasn't rolled right, etc.). I buy several and make sure to burn them a month or more apart.

They sell fairly well, though mostly for a modest price. If you sell one at a time, you'll wind up just subsidizing the shipper. Look at the prices for lots of several sold.
I went way down that rabbit hole from my Dad's estate. I found a guy who had the records from the shift work at Lesney and knew how many shifts they produced the individual colors of each car.

The institutional graft, which at present is in over-drive to create parallel construction in order to explain the obviousness of the truth, and who the culprits are.
Why? Because when the Truth becomes a Liability ALL (normal) PEOPLE -- and that's when the market collapses, because a People without Hope are easier to Control.

Been spending most of the evening taunting my neighbors on my Facebook page. Someone plastered a sticker on the Stop sign by our house which says, "ICE". I guess someone thought they were being clever.
These are the same people who are SOOO proud of themselves for voting 90%-10% for the Democrat candidate in this weekend's Texas State Senate race.
These are also the people who wouldn't have set foot in this neighborhood 40 years ago when we were the urban pioneers trying to turn things around.
Oh, and these same people are handing out whistles so that they can "warn" all of the illegals in the neighborhood whenever ICE comes around. Really. They are convinced that every black SUV that they see is ICE coming to drag children out of one of the elementary schools in the neighborhood.
We took the ICE sticker and put it on our freezer door. Right above the ice dispenser.

When LIGO first detected gravitational radiation in 2017 or whenever it was, it was a neutron star binary merger. And when they turned the optical instruments toward that source, they found gold being produced like a mofo. That event produced 3 to 13 earth masses of gold.
But turned out that still wasn't enough. Those don't occur enough to account for it all. Just recently, they figured out another source for the "r-process" necessary to produce the heavy elements in abundance. It was magnetar flare. And those make up the difference and with the neutron star mergers, that accounts for the observed abundance of gold and the others.

It's a neutron star with a stupid crazy strong magnetic field. Regular neutron stars have insane magnetic fields, but these take it up an order or two of magnitude.
The field strength approaches the quantum limit of how strong a vacuum field can be. The field's energy density is greater than mc^2 energy density of lead.
Your mind just can't wrap around how strong that field is, or the exotic conditions of the neutron star itself.

That's the thing-- flame is flame is flame. And it's immediate. If you've cooked with one gas stove, you can cook *reliably* on ANY gas stove.
Electric elements? Uh... you need to guess, and from stove to stove it's different, probably due to age of the burner elements. (?)

You're not kidding. When I moved into the old house it had a regular electric stove. I eventually redid the kitchen in that house too and went with a glass top electric stove. Holy shit, not even in the same universe. We had to get all new pots because if you didn't have pots with a perfectly flat bottom you weren't boiling water. The burners kept cycling. It took 45 minutes to boil water the first time. Mrs b was pissed, she went and got new pots and then it was good, but still way different than the regular old coils. The glass top didn't just cool down like the older coils did. You had to slide the pots around on the glass to find a cooler area until the temperature finally dropped. With the original stove some of the coils burned out and I put all new ones in...and then burned everything because they were new and way hotter.

The magnetar magnetic field energy density works out to be 192 Tsar Bombas of energy packed in 1 cm^3, 1 mL of volume.
And the "takeaway" is it takes such exotic and mindboggling conditions to produce gold and other heavy elements. So, that gold ring or piece of jewelry required un-imaginable amounts of energy for the universe to produce in abundance.
Just boggled my mind to think about it.

If your neighborhood or the gas company has a line close they will usually run it to a meter at your house for free. If there is a charge it is usually a credit against your bill. Then find an off line plumber and run a line to your house.
Depends on what kind of regulations. Because, as you probably know, it's as simple as tinker toys.
I have an old Desai heater, comes out in winter that puts out up to 35,000 btu. It has a thermostat.
It's an alternative.

NEVER AGAIN! Hated it, hated it!
Even with nice, perfectly flat pans...that thing took *forever* to heat, especially with larger stock pots. Oh, and forget heating up a canner to boiling-- took over an hour.
F. That!

Once we got the right pots it heated fast. The pots Mrs B bought had a thick heavy lower section on the bottom that looked like it was practically machined flat, like glass flat. They worked great. The other pots forget it, you weren't going anywhere and they were Farberware, kinda flat to start with, but obviously not good enough.

I have the unpleasant task before me of figuring out how to dispose of a dehumidifier that stopped working several years ago, given that there is one variety or another of a refrigerant gas somewhere therein.

You too huh? I got a new one last year, because the one I bought a few years ago when I moved here already had died. It sits in the basement along side the one I brought from the old house, because that one didn't work, so I got 2 dead ones to deal with.

Cut the line, bleed off the refrigerant then remove the compressor. Set it out on the curb. It will be gone before trash comes to pick it up.

According to one fashion writer, the dress worn by some sad sack looking performance artist at this year's Grammy Awards and featuring straps that attached to that person's pierced nipples was representative of an illusion.
I quote, "...she unveiled a matching slip dress that hung from gold prosthetic nipple rings, giving the illusion of going topless." Sure thing, dimwit.

I have a set of cheap cheap Wally World aluminum Teflon pots and pans with shiny bottoms.
40 min. on high, stock pot had reached 195, barely boiling. Spray Painted the bottom black with some high heat automotive paint.
13 minutes to a full rolling boil.
I have video.
The problem is shiny reflective metal bottoms REFLECTING the radiant heat. 10 buck can of flat black exhaust manifold paint for the whole set, and Bob's My Uncle.

The Woman and the Bears:
The bronze plaque was discovered in one of these graves, belonging to a woman estimated to have been between 35 and 50 years old at the time of her death. Although the burial had been disturbed in antiquity, most of the grave goods remained in place, suggesting a ritual intrusion rather than ordinary robbery.
The plaque depicts three bear heads positioned vertically, each framed by forelegs folded beneath the body—a configuration archaeologists describe as a “sacrificial pose.” Similar bear plaques are well known from the taiga and forest zones of western Siberia, where bear symbolism formed the core of hunting cults and cosmological beliefs among Ugric and other northern peoples. Until now, however, such objects were virtually unknown this far south.
Its presence here is therefore extraordinary—not only geographically, but culturally. It may be the final resting place of Goldilocks!

The Artemis II launch will be delated to at least the March launch window (windows occurs every month, roughly around full Moon).
Just like Artemis I, this thing has heap big hydrogen leak problems at the tail service mast umbilical. There's a big 8" flexible hose that flows LH2 into the main tank at some high flow rate. It started leaking early in the test, but they got under control.
At around T-5:30 minutes, when they started pressurizing the tank, it started leaking again big time, H2 levels increased in the space there, and they had to shut it down.
Besides that, they had communication problems too, audio drops out, and some of the cameras were messing up too. They think the cold snap may have caused that.

I like watching him work, and the pools he creates always concentrate the fish.
Unfortunately, our creek has a huge watershed. When we get a big "frog strangler" rain, it always blows out his dam and lodge.
I do not know if the flood kills him, or just washes him downstream a few miles.

Permit me to share with you a few important instructions I gave to my children and grandchildren, to help them keep their bearings as they go through life:
1) Never talk to a cop without having your attorney present;
2) Always play it straight with your parole officer;
3) Never try to finesse the terms of your probation
Anyhow, best of luck to the parents and the grandparents!

I was reading a long winded article last night detailing just what a boondoggle the SLS is. It's not even funny the stupid amount of money wasted with that thing.
And to top it off, it can't even put Orion in lunar orbit. It's less powerful than the Saturn V by a good bit. That's why this mission is just a free-return whip around.
The whole thing is an example of Congressional pork -- each congressman and senator wants a piece of the pie in their district and state.

Bride of PI was also quite "spicy" as she slowly and painfully progressed over a 10-hour labor for our first delivery. I had bloody fingernail marks on both arms.
Baby finally comes out, perfectly healthy. My wife then slips into an exhaustion-induced nap.
An hour later, she wakes up and with a big smile on her face and says, "That was MUCH easier than I thought. No problem doing that again."

51 Skip, all it would take to keep a beaver would be a medium size pool, say 20'X40'. And a grove of saplings and small trees so they can build a dam. It's all doable.

That's a big investment.
Maybe you're not serious but I anticipate:
-The pool would be filthy.
-The beaver might not confine itself to the trees provided.
-Could be illegal.

Reagan was president when the challenger was lost in '86. There were near-fatal incidents before that. There was no political will to hit the brakes on the whole thing. Seemed inconsistent with Reagan's movement. And the current effort is inconsistent with Trump's movement..

The current plan to get land on the Moon with Artemis III is a convoluted thing. Elon and SpaceX got the contract for a lander. And what is that lander going to be? Starship. Specifically Starship HLS (human landing system). Elon will launch that into LEO. Then it will be refueled by a Starship tanker, also launched to LEO, and filled up with propellant in orbit by a bunch of other Starships carrying fuel. It will take maybe 8 to 16 fuel launched to fill the depot up.
Once filled, HLS will launch into LEO, then be refueled for the trip to the Moon. Orion will then launch via SLS, which will dock with HLS in a polar type halo orbit. Starship will then land on the Moon, for a several day stay. Starship then blasts off from the Moon, docks with Orion again, and brings the astronauts back home.
Now, if Starship is going to do all that, why the hell do you need Orion? Starship could carry the astronauts to the Moon itself....

Yep, a total of 96 bags of shit, piss, and vomit were left on the Moon. All this was precisely documented.
There is a proposal to retrieve those bags at some point, just to see what happens to shit on the lunar surface after 60 years or more.

Outbreaks of measles are due to mass amounts of wetbacks ushered in to the country without any controls or information. The media treat it as a puzzling mystery. If they make any attempt to establish cause and effect, it is only by chiding parents who don't get their kids vaccinated.

And there is no benefit to either a kidney stone or a nut shot (I presume--not having nuts, I'm only speculating). Whereas the agony of birthing is overcome by the love for the babe.

Clip of Alan Shepard hitting the golf balls:
https://is.gd/JKWBRe
He smuggled a 6-iron head and 2 golf balls aboard. He taped the head to some sample tool. He had to swing one armed, suit too bulky for two hands. First shot wasn't too hot, but the second went for "miles and miles".
"Miles and miles" was likely about 120', per analysis.

Native Tribe to Billie Eilish: Since Your $14 Million Sits on "Stolen Land" Belonging to Our Tribe, We Await Your Transfer of Ownership to Us

The labor theory of property, also called the labor theory of appropriation, labor theory of ownership, labor theory of entitlement, and principle of first appropriation, is a theory of natural law that holds that property originally comes about by the exertion of labor upon natural resources. The theory has been used to justify the homestead principle, which holds that one may gain whole permanent ownership of an unowned natural resource by performing an act of original appropriation.

She stopped for awhile and has a cute little figure. Her fan base went apoplectic on her like she was abandoning them and their goofy principles. Truth was she had a boyfriend and wanted to be pretty for him, but you know, once you subscribe to some stupid leftist ideology, you have to live there forever! She made the statement she dressed the way she did so she could be know for her talents not her body. She was 14 or something when she said that. The left is ridiculous.

It’s actually smart, they record and control all of their music and cut their own distribution deals.

Apparently he's singing in Kid Rock's special America rock festival, and woke fans of Jelly Roll are wailing and gnashing their teeth that he betrayed the by joining it. "I knew he was MAGA adjacent! The breaks my heart!"

Seriously Ohio is a sterling example of the multiple layers of idiocy on this matter.
The Adena and the Hopewell predated all the Injuns the whites who walked in saw by 1000+ years they had a highly sophisticated economy going with civilizational works that can be seen to this day and they went extinct from success by all appearances.

So she doesn't think, ok I have talent in this one very particular niche. Singing. I can write songs that connect people emotionally on a global level. But maybe I should just shut up about everything else and just focus on what I'm good at! Because in politics I'm not smart in that area.

But it's beautiful. You see the Native Americans really believed that no man owns the Earth.
That's why there were no wars between tribes.
But, it's really like the Semites (Arab, etc.) that the benefits of the land can go to anyone who takes it. It was an Middle-easterner that told me that if a stronger man shows up late to say a parade and pushes you out of your spot, culturally, it wasn't yours.
Libs are so fond of waxing poetic over the cultures of primitives, they don't even understand both sides of nomadic coding. Yes "No man owns a place." But also, it's up for grabs for the tribe that takes it.

Andrew is now believed to have vacated his £30million, 31-room Royal Lodge - three months after handing back his lease.
He was driven 132 miles to Sandringham - transported 'under the cover of darkness'.

Post Malone. His "Hollywood is Bleeding" album is stellar. But the LA drug scene was going to kill him, he was one lost weekend from OD'ing. He moved to Utah to dry out, and calls it home now and loves it.
He and Jelly Roll, unlike Beyoncé, made an authentic switch to country. They put in the work building connections in Nashville, and respecting the genre.
My mother in law is a country fan all genres, and Postie and Jelly Roll are two of her faves! They have multi generational appeal.
People are trying to cancel them both for being MAGA adjacent. Yeah good luck with that, not gonna happen. They have eff you money now. And every are sticking by the people that helped them clean up and get their lives right. It wasn't the left.

Now we know they've been lying sacks of shit about the dangers of "taking the law into your own hands" and vigilantism for decades.
It's just that they can take the law into their own hands.
They can obstruct law enforcement.
Traditionals aren't even allowed to think that an election they think has been fixed has been fixed because it might land them up on public grounds at a time when somebody proclaimed it off limits. And they all have to do time if that happens.

Ditto in our small city.
When BLaMtifa threatened to "peacefully protest" back in 2020 (BLM Founder & Grifter Patrisse Cullors taught a remote class at a small lunatic leftist liberal arts college in town) they were greeted by a few hundred well-armed citizens and a few dozen police -- who were there to protect them from us.
They were in a bus, stopped before getting to our courthouse square, and told to turn around. They promised come back the next weekend with buses full of radicals from Phoenix and Tucson to face us; only six showed up.

"What is really the major problem in this country today is the fascism in our streets. The attacks on American citizens by masked hoodlums. If you were attacked by a masked person, you might think you were being kidnapped.
You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself.
We see people being shot! For what? For driving a car? We see these ICE goons breaking into people’s homes without a warrant. You see them drag out a man – an American citizen in his underwear in the snow without even permitting him to get dressed!”

The Wappo, or Onastis, traditionally established permanent villages. The valley itself is considered "land of plenty."
Currently, the Mishewal Wappo tribe seeks to restore federal recognition.
Just federal recognition? See the Land Acknowledgement Statement, Napa Vallley College, which ends as:
"We also affirm that this acknowledgement is insufficient. It does not undo the harm that has been, and continues to be, perpetrated against Indigenous people, the land, and water. May we hold steady in our commitment to be in solidarity and in action to seek equity and justice with the Miwok, Patwin, and Wappo peoples."

Jury Awards $3.2 Million Judgement to Man in Defamation Case Resulting From, Get This, Yet Another Race Grifter Hoax
Mainstream Media Breathlessly Covered an Alleged Hate Crime in Which White Kids Forced a Black Classmate To Drink Urine. It Was a Giant Hoax.
Texas judge orders $3.2 million judgment against black mother and attorney who falsely alleged her son was 'tortured' by white friend
It was a story that received blanket media coverage in March 2021. It alleged that white middle schoolers in Plano, Texas, viciously "tortured" SeMarion Humphrey, their black classmate, forcing him to drink their urine at a sleepover as they shot him with BB guns. A Black Lives Matter activist group charged the local public school district with doing "nothing" to stop "this racially motivated hate crime" as violent protests broke out outside the home of Asher Vann, the white child alleged to have organized the brutal attack. Major media outlets, including NBC, CBS, CNN, Business Insider, People magazine, the Daily Mail, and the Dallas Morning News, pounced on the story as Humphrey, his mother Summer Smith, and their attorney Kim Cole, embarked on a media tour where they called Vann "evil." The trio appeared on Good Morning America, where ABC host Linsey Davis promoted a GoFundMe account that raised nearly $120,000 to help pay for Humphrey's "therapy and private schooling." Racial activist groups added fuel to the fire. The NAACP dressed down the leaders of the Plano school district in a town hall that they described as the beginning of an "open partnership" spurred by the alleged hate crime. The Next Generation Action Network, a Black Lives Matter-tied group whose leader alleged Humphrey was "tortured for days" by his white assailants, organized public marches that drew hundreds of protesters. And then, a little under five years later, a racially diverse Texas jury--including four black members--ruled the whole thing was a hoax. On Jan. 22, Texas district court judge Benjamin Smith ordered Smith and Cole to pay $3.2 million in damages to Vann, now an adult attending his first year of college, for intentionally smearing him and tarnishing his future earning potential during their media tour in 2021. The ruling followed a civil trial in October 2025, where the jury determined that Cole and Smith cooked up the scheme to raise their public profiles during the height of the Black Lives Matter movement and to rake in money through GoFundMe. Court records show that Smith put less than $1,000 of the nearly $120,000 GoFundMe windfall toward her son's schooling. Account statements reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show the remaining funds were spent on luxuries, including a designer dog, dining and travel, beauty products, liquor, vapes, cell phones, car payments, and rent.

I am now becoming increasingly pissed-off about the two-tiered system of justice that is treating MAGA people differently.

In fairness, if it buys you a car these days, there's not a whole lot left over for renting + tuition. You'd have to be somebody who knew how to make a foothold with $100K.
It's definitely a boost to a person who is prudent enough to know how to use it.
But it wouldn't be surprising that it wouldn't work in a majority of cases.

I worked briefly as a gate guard at Ft Lewis Army post.

There were multiple layers of people who were aware of the problem, and would actively work to prevent it, but the problem persisted.

Doodles, I'm guessing. Anything with a pedigree that is over $1000, versus going to the pound.
That was one of my favorite episodes of Caleb Hammer, actually! A woman went to him for financial help because she'd gotten divorced, made bad choices and missed two mortgage payments. Turns out she bought a designer/pedigreed dog to help with her stress. Caleb lost his mind on her. I think some of his shrill screams could only be heard by dog ears.

I am a strong advocate of buying purebred dogs from ethical breeders only, along with adoptions from shelters if that is your thing. I think people should not be shamed for wanting a specific breed, but they need to work with breeders like H7, not puppyfinder. Yes, you will pay for that, but that should be understood on the front end, along with the reasons why you should expect to pay money for a well bred dog.

I've heard the theory Scott wanted out of his contract but it was ironclad. Huge penalties if he backed out. He realized the only thing he could do to get out of it was say something outrageous and get cancelled so they would cut his contract.
Even if it's not true...nothing happened that disproves this theory. He made the statement he made, and they swiftly canceled him and his contract.

Piper I got a year later, from the pound in Anchorage. Saw her picture and she looked so much like Ruby I inquired. Turns out, they are litter mates. Piper is bigger, profoundly dumber, and hyper as hell. She had been turned into the pound twice. It was her last chance.
They are opposites. Each has one flop ear--opposite sides. Ruby is right handed (pawed?) and Piper is left handed.
I can't imagine handling Piper on her own, but she and Ruby bounce off each other and do fine. When they met, they already knew each other, it was clear, and started wrastling like dogs do.
Can't believe they are nearly five years old already.

I have had the whole gamut of dogs. Rescues, purebreds who were pet quality from very, very solid lines. My current dog is a pure bred rescue (you know this, of course, because you thought I was crazy. Now you know I am). I don’t crate him, he knows what it is for emergencies and vet visits, he knows how to kennel up immediately should we have to evacuate for a hurricane, but I never shut him in there. He likes to go in and sleep, but so do the cats.

One guy was so casual about it-- "Yeah, I can't work any more overtime, but we need the money so we're gonna let _____(dog) get pregnant and sell the puppies for $300 each."

Agreed. I think sometimes they know they were saved.

Cases like this one can only lead to more voluntary segregation. People can be forgiven for thinking that interracial friendships can turn into disaster in no time at all.

Isn't that what got Scott Adams decried as a "racist"?
Simply making the case that there seemed to be not much upside.

If memory serves, even Jesse Jackson got lambasted about 20-30 years ago for observing that he would often cross the street if he saw some young black men approaching down the same sidewalk. Haven't thought about that story in a long time so I might have got it wrong.

It took five years to get this judgement. That seems like an awful long time to me.
I would bet that nobody who promoted this hoax, starting with the black kid's mother, is the least bit sorry for doing this. Only sorry it got exposed. Like, they felt it was incumbent upon them.
The kid himself, I can't imagine. Given his age when the hoax began, he might have some real trouble now telling what's real from what's not real.

You’d be justified in shooting the person to protect yourself.
We see people being shot! For what? For driving a car? We see these ICE goons breaking into people’s homes without a warrant. You see them drag out a man – an American citizen in his underwear in the snow without even permitting him to get dressed!”

Police also announced on Tuesday they would assess claims Epstein trafficked a second woman to the UK to have sex with the disgraced former Prince.
Andrew is now believed to have vacated his £30million, 31-room Royal Lodge - three months after handing back his lease.
He was driven 132 miles to Sandringham - transported 'under the cover of darkness'.
Andrew will be temporarily staying at Wood Farm Cottage before moving permanently next door to Marsh Farm by the start of April, upon completion of renovations.

This is just like sexual harassment hoaxes in the workplace. If you avoid women being alone with women and are very guarded or clinical with your interactions, you'll avoid sex harassment accusations.
Same thing here, if you avoid black people... No race hoaxes against you.
