Posted by: vmom deport deport deport at May 20, 2026 09:34 AM (fE6HJ) The Morning Report — 5/ 20/26
Good morning kids. Let's start off with the cancerous existential threat that is the Anti-American Left and its epicenter the Democrat party. I'm beyond revolted and horrified to the point of being apoplectic and blood-boiling enraged at this as anyone with even a scintilla of common decency and an understanding of history and human nature would and should be. The top Democrat in a southern Texas House race, sex therapist Maureen Galindo, has called for transforming an immigration facility into a “prison for American Zionists” equipped with a castration center. Galindo’s campaign made a vile pledge that she will introduce legislation to that effect if she gets elected to Congress after baselessly alleging her Dem runoff foe was “being paid to put Jews and Mexicans in concentration camps via Zionist trafficking networks.” “When Maureen gets into Congress, she’ll write legislation so that all Zionism and support of Zionism is undoubtedly Anti-Semitic, since it’s Zionism harming the Semites,” her campaign wrote on Instagram last week.The sex therapist candidate called to transform an ICE facility into a prison for American Zionists. Yet her remarks about dumping Zionists into an ICE facility sound a lot like putting Jews in warehouses. “The standard that Democrats rightly apply to right-wing antisemites must apply equally to left-wing Jew-haters,” the watchdog group StopAntisemitism said in a statement. “Democratic leaders must clearly, publicly denounce these bigots infecting their party without hedging. “They must decline to appear on platforms with Hasan Piker. They must stop winking at extremist voices and truly stand for the principles they claim to stand for.” Galindo was the top Democrat in the March primary election, with 29.2% support to Garcia’s 27%. Since no one got a majority, the two advanced to a runoff election next Tuesday. . . . . .Throughout the campaign cycle, Galindo has railed against Zionists. She’s also attacked “Jews who own Hollywood,” something that is a well-known anti-Semitic trope.I wonder if Galindo came up with that brainwave about forcibly castrating Jews all on her own or if she stole it directly from the minutes of the 1942 Wannsee Conference regarding the Nazis Final Solution of the Jewish Question?! For those who do not know, before they decided to exterminate the roughly 11 million Jews of Europe they expected to be under their control once they conquered Europe from the Channel to the Urals, they thought those that wouldn't be worked to death building roads and munitions would have their genitals bombarded with X-rays so they could be sure no Jews would survive. The mass shootings of the Einzatzgruppen were viewed as too cruel — not for the victims but for the executioners, you see Graham Platner's Totenkopf tattoo is vile enough (and that he's a literal jerk-off!) but this evil slag is illustrative now of a growing segment of not just the leadership of the Democrat Party but far too many in its base. On further reflection, I don't think Galindo is aware of the details of Wansee let alone the reality of the extermination of over 6 million Jews as well as other racial or political enemies of the Nazis. I think she dreamed up mass sterilization all on her own. Let's face the unsettling truth in that she is not an outlier or one-off. She is not only a Leftist but one who is seeking political office and has the backing of the Democrat Party leadership. Shredding the Constitution and erasing our history is merely the first step. Ultimately, they know that they will have to eradicate us physically in order to make sure we never rise again. So, if this Galindo cancer were to be struck by a bolt of lightning or were to accidentally blow herself up in a tax-evasion scheme or Hamas bomb factory... or be hit by a bus crossing the street or get a reverse Luigi Mangione treatment (nudge nudge wink wink) I would not shed a tear and in fact would roundly applaud it. I do not condone violence. But waiting until after we're forced to wear a yellow star is a non-starter. My own family's World War 2 experience is now underscored by Democrat/Leftist acts of political and physical terrorism in its lust for absolute power. Something must be done to stop this and stop them. Appealing to the better angels of their nature, forget it . . . they have none. Evil must be confronted and eradicated. For bringing us to the brink of the abyss, there isn't a Hell hot enough for them to roast in. Elsewhere , Last night looked to be a good night for the President and the conservative movement in general with several key primary victories. Most gratifying of all was the kicking to the curb of scumbag deluxe Tom Massie. And then there's still Iran: Citing the leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, he said “serious negotiations with Iran are now taking place” and expressed confidence in a deal which he vowed “will include “NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS FOR IRAN.”So okay, but I'm still waiting for the OR ELSE part of this to take effect. As of now it sure seems as if President Trump is doing the Obama red line boogaloo. Feh. Have a good day.

What is most astounding is that antisemitism seems pretty widespread on the crazy left. With inflation, job issues, and high energy costs, traditional election polls say Democrats might actually do well, and this despite their insane side.

The report, first obtained by the New York Post, alleges that Weingarten’s team included an attorney who earned $977,000 for various work with the union, despite supposedly working on the book pro bono. The report also alleges that a “ghost writer” earned $400,000 from the union, and two people who “fact-checked” the book earned $11,000 each.

The idea that Talerico is going to be some big vote getter is part of the Democrat talking points that the Uniparty/nevertrumpers have lapped up. The whole case comes down to this - Talerico pretends to be a preacher and says Jesus a lot, and Texas voters are all ignorant hillbillies who will vote for someone says Jesus, even if he says that it would have been ok if Mary aborted Jesus, because his god loves abortion. (Yes, Talerico really said that). And when you think it can’t get any worse, he even said he hates barbecue and won’t touch it because it’s not vegetarian

WSJ is very upset that Trump dumped Cornyn for Paxton. They believe Talarico will now win that seat. They also believe that Trump’s unpopularity, especially with Independents and leaners will cost Republicans the House and probably senate.
--- Oh yeah, the RINOs are very upset. Somehow "votes with Trump 99% of the time" isn't convincing the voters that the 1% is not important. So they're going hard on "now we'll have to spend millions to hold TX--money that could have gone to other close races!" Oh, you mean how you wasted $100 million trying to save Cornyn? Or how, in 2020 (or was it 2024?) McConnell sent $5 million to help Murkowski--who was not in a close race--and $0 to help Keri Lake?

A neighboring county (rural) here in KY has been fighting an internal battle between residents and local government about putting one in. Acres of farmland gone. Families displaced.

The deployment, the full scale of which is reported here for the first time, was confirmed by three security officials and two government sources, all of whom described it as a substantial, combat-capable force intended to support Saudi Arabia’s military if the kingdom comes under further attack.”

One time in Afghanistan some true believer was lobbing DShK at a convoy transiting a valley. Spotter says it’s one lone combatant. He was so far away it was ridiculous. The major asks Air Force what assets we have- he tells him f-16 loaded up. Major says hit him- with a jdam. Tacp says well we just spent $30k on one man. Major says, sometimes you have to send a message to the next guy who thinks he can shoot at us. Posted by: Marcus T at May 20, 2026 08:50 AM (egaJw) 238

I'm truly surprised by the amount of complaining on our side over Trump's strategy with Iran. This is a country that has been at war with us for 50 years both directly and through their proxy terror armies. They have cost us way more than $1.50/gallon for the last have decade with their various terror tactics including aiding the rise of China with cheap gas and funding Hamas including in Venezuela.
At some point in the very near future Trump will either get a deal that he and our newly energized partners in the ME, none of who will make nice with the mullahs again, will either get a deal or Iran will be bombed into submission. But after the bombing there will still be fallout to deal with. Bombing a major supplier of oil on the world market into a pancake does not come without a cost. Trump has either earned your trust with all he has done over the last decade or not. He's dealing with a very complex situation not just Iran's fate but well beyond that. I'm content to let him do his thing. Posted by: JackStraw at May 20, 2026 08:53 AM (viF8m) Posted by: man at May 20, 2026 08:53 AM (XuXeR) 253

I am going to repost this, excellent summary @breibart:
"It’s hard to overstate how big of a thorn in Trump’s side Massie has been – and how great of a victory Gallrein’s win is for the president. Massie has opposed Trump on every significant initiative he has proposed. He voted against bills to keep Trump’s government funded and opened. He voted against the Big, Beautiful Bill, the historic package containing the bulk of Trump’s campaign platform.He partnered with radical Democrat Ro Khanna from California to force through a bill ostensibly to release what is known as the Epstein files, but which instead caused trouble for Trump – who is not credibly accused of any wrongdoing and has been revealed to have been one of the first prominent celebrities to sound the alarm on Epstein, even banning him from Mar-A-Lago – and halted his agenda, while resulting in no additional perpetrators being brought to justice. Put simply, no Democrat has been as effective as stopping Trump’s agenda as Thomas Massie has been. And now, after Trump went all-in to take him out, his political career is over...The price was high in dollars ..but the investment was worth every penny for Trump."

A police transparency project based out of the University of California Berkeley started off strong but has since fizzled out as law enforcement fights the release of records.

We get thumb drives. We get hard drives,” she told Center Square. “I’ve gotten a CD. I’ve gotten a CD with a staple through the cover of it which broke the CD.

I've never underestimated the American public's lack of patience, particularly now that we live on internet time. As I said, I am a bit surprised by the lack of patience by some on our side. Forget historical analogies which go both ways, the amount of weaponry combined with the blockade have Iran in a position where they are defenseless. They can still lash out and inflict small damage but they can't defeat us militarily. And I've yet to hear anyone who favors bombing them into submission say what comes next and there is always a next. Nation building? A new Marshall Plan? Who is going to bring back Iran and what is the cost? It's shortsighted to just say bomb it and leave because that won't work either. Look at Libya.

"Epstein" who was a democrat and enabled and entertained democrats like Clinton and the rest on his island, on his plane, at his various properties, is just another "Rooshian Koluzhion" hoax. In which Massie heavily participated. Because crypto democrat.

I've never underestimated the American public's lack of patience, particularly now that we live on internet time. As I said, I am a bit surprised by the lack of patience by some on our side. Forget historical analogies which go both ways, the amount of weaponry combined with the blockade have Iran in a position where they are defenseless. They can still lash out and inflict small damage but they can't defeat us militarily. And I've yet to hear anyone who favors bombing them into submission say what comes next and there is always a next. Posted by: JackStraw at Ma The impatience is b/c Trump and Hegsgeth promised weeks (under 6 was the stated goal of all spokesfolks) when we got involved. We are now in months. But every week, Trump is also hanging the carrot to the people that "this might end very soon". Trump's folks have never updated their timeline expectation and asked the American people if they are ready for it. If they are in for seige and years, they better let us know.

Maybe, but with the Kurds taking the weapons for themselves, arming the people isn't a quick job, is it? Gotta get in without being found, then give some training time. I'd like things to get going, but I don't have all the info, so who knows why it hasn't started.
Posted by: OrangeEnt at May 20, 2026 09:00 AM (1Ff7Z) Waiting for that’s fine, the war can go on for a year so long as the Straits are truly open. Allowing the straits to stay closed through the summer will hammer our economy at a very bad time, and that does not need to happen. Opening them is not militarily difficult - it requires: 1. Eliminating Iran’s remaining fast boats 2. Eliminate remaining missile and drone capacity 3. Use amphibious troops to seize the small islands in the gulf which Iran uses for targeting and as weapons platforms. I suspect #3 is the biggest sticking point. There will be some casualties taken to do that. Posted by: Tom Servo at May 20, 2026 09:12 AM (TH/2I) 329

It really is amazing, isn't it? Almost like a propaganda flex just to demonstrate what they can do.

The irony of this CO Supreme Court rulig is that the suit claims that CHCO is discriminating against transgender patients, when in fact CHCO would love to re-open their TRUE Center, but are afraid that the HHS declaration from Dec '25 has real teeth and have to decide whether to say what they really feel or throw the gender patients under the bus. The state attorney general hailed the ruling, declaring that these patients can now get the "lifesaving treatments" they need. I think the hospital will try to walk the fine line between complying with the HHS declaration while keeping their TRUE Center limping along hoping that challenges to the HHS rule prevail in court. Cowards.

Oh! Good news! Oregon's gas tax/registration fee increase was shot down, under 2/3 reporting but over 4/5 a resounding No. The story is too complicated for me to follow, but getting it passed by the state legislature was the signature achievement of Gov. Tina Kotek (D), and she pulled out every dirty trick in the book to try to keep canvassers from getting it put in front of the voters as a ballot referendum. She is such a sneaky-sneaky, she somehow got away with changing a Nov. referendum against the bill into a May ballot measure for it, but that plainly didn't help.
This means that Kotek is now a big fat loser going into a Nov. rematch against state senator Christine Drazan (R), who won the nomination for Gov. with only a plurality of primary votes (Oregon doesn't do runoffs for party nominees). This does make the governor contest more competitive, but Motor Voter and the Magic Mail-Ins (I saw them open for X at Y in Z) create a nigh-insurmountable Margin Of Fraud.

The tail end of Von Ryan's Express with Sinatra and Trevor Howard is on Movies! You know, I have never seen the film all the way through. I first read and loved the novel when I was in high school -- not assigned reading, I was never so lucky; on my own -- and have reread it a couple of times since, including during the dark days of the Sniffle Scare. I understand the ending of the film is quite a bit different from that of the novel.

If you're getting the full page ad when clicking on "Continue Reading" you can try to reload the page (hit the circular arrow next to the address bar in your browser). That usually gets rid of the ad for me.
You can also right click on "Continue Reading" and hit "Open in New Tab" and that prevents the ad from loading.

He at first seemed to be a a hustler and an unreliable cop, but proved otherwise in an episode where he and another, younger cop were held hostage by a psycho. Buntz psychologically waterboards the psycho and saves himself (and, I think, the other cop). He seems to be fine, to be taking the whole thing in his stride. Then we see him in the bathroom, throwing up. Very powerful stuff. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at May 20, 2026 05:51 AM (wzUl9) 68

If I remember correctly, he also cut her out of his will as they were in the process of a divorce when he died.
Posted by: Mollly k. at May 20, 2026 05:46 AM (j/yko) From wiki: Ocasek was found dead on September 15, 2019, by his estranged wife, Paulina Porizkova, at his New York City townhouse, which they still shared following their separation in 2017. Porizkova and Ocasek were still in the process of their divorce at the time of his death, but he had disinherited her in a new will, alleging that before his recent surgery she had abandoned him. This required a probate court judge rule on the veracity of the abandonment claims before the remaining estate could be divided. He also disinherited two of his six sons. In 2021, the dispute between Ocasek's estate and Porizkova was settled; Porizkova said she was granted a third of his estate. While Porizkova would not tell Vanity Fair the precise terms of the settlement, she denied reports that Ocasek was "only worth $5 million" at the time of his death.

67 Dennis Franz's character Buntz was introduced late in the show's run. He at first seemed to be a a hustler and an unreliable cop, but proved otherwise in an episode where he and another, younger cop were held hostage by a psycho. Buntz psychologically waterboards the psycho and saves himself (and, I think, the other cop). He seems to be fine, to be taking the whole thing in his stride. Then we see him in the bathroom, throwing up. Very powerful stuff.

Norman Buntz: He's a worm, I'll eat this guy. Every minute we stay alive, our odds improve. You just fight 'em. - Lt. Norman Buntz: I thought I might go by and see... see Mrs. Rodriguez. I just want her to know that he stood up there and he didn't flinch. He was an honor to the badge. - Capt. Frank Furillo: I'm sure she'd appreciate hearing that. - Lt. Norman Buntz: Yeah, well, it's a lie, but at least it's something. IMDB Posted by: m at May 20, 2026 06:23 AM (6wpGE) 94

Back from my walk. Almost got mauled by a vicious dogguh!! I was the only person in this nearby park. I spotted a dog from across this big field and it was running as fast as its chubby body and little legs would take it towards me. It wasn't barking, growling, or any sound at all really. Just had a dumb happy look on its face. I started looking for the owner and saw a beleaguered pixie size asian lady trying to catch up. The dog stopped in front of me and I walked around it. It wouldn't leave me alone until I petted it. Once I did that, it strolled away. I don't know how I'll recover from the trauma.

Azure Linux 4.0 is not new (the "4.0" should have been your first clue). It's just the new name for CBL-Mariner, Azure's in-house Linux distro. It's never been intended for bare metal installs and was never really intended for customer use; It's what Azure runs AKS and ACI on top of. The only thing that's new is the claim that you can use it if you're not Azure. Which is incorrect. I blame AI.

We will defer to the Stewards' independent review and adjudication process and will not comment further while that review is ongoing.”Look, I'm not saying I don't care about the horsey. But I am saying PETA is asshoe. ----- Speaking of asshoe - the NAACP tries to stay relevant NAACP calls for boycott of Southern college sports programs over voting rights The NAACP and Congressional Black Caucus are calling on Black athletes and fans to boycott the athletic programs of public universities in states that are taking steps that the nation’s oldest civil rights group says are restricting Black voting rights. Launched on Tuesday, the NAACP’s “Out of Bounds” campaign urges current and prospective Black athletes, their families, alumni and fans to “withhold athletic and financial support” from major public universities in states that “have moved to limit, weaken or erase Black voting representation.” If Black athletes participate in the boycott, it could deplete rosters for powerhouse football and basketball programs across the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference. The NAACP’s campaign calls out Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and South Carolina as states to boycott, arguing that the athletic programs of those states’ major universities are especially reliant on Black athletic talent and should protect Black political interests.Sorry, NAACP - your race card is denied. ----- Spelling matters!

Ask me how much I care about PETA's feelings on anything. Ever. I mean, don't hold your breath waiting for a response, because my lack of speech mirrors my lack of regard for them, and I wouldn't want your death on their balance sheet, they've caused enough already.

""Judas Priest's 1984 heavy metal track "Jawbreaker" is a double-entendre. On the surface, it portrays a dangerous, explosive monster. Beneath the heavy metal imagery, it is a cheeky metaphor for oral sex, reflecting frontman Rob Halford’s subliminal, queer-coded songwriting from his time in the closet.""

"Now, we all know. We're occupied. Israel controls our government. Anyone telling you otherwise is an obvious liar. This is the time for patriots. We now get to fight for independence again. This time, not with arms or violence. We need a real, aggressive political revolution. I will work tirelessly to free America from Israel's control. I will help build a left-wing, populist alternative that is completely free of Israel. If I'm backing someone, including a presidential candidate, that means I think they are actual Americans, and not servants of Israel. Fight them on the left, fight them on the right, fight on the hills and on the beaches. But fight to help free your country. The politicians and the national media are on their side. But I think a united America can defeat the people in power and regain our freedom on our 250th Anniversary.

He did get wild one weekend after bronchitis and nebulizer treatments that got him hyper. Of course the in-laws were visiting and I had to tell them he was not normally like this (doing laps around the house).The one weekend of insanity he picked when they were on a visit.

I stopped being offended about MIL as the years went on and her neurosis about a spotless house, which I never had. She'd kick all 5 kids out and lock the door to clean and had white carpet when my husband was young. After FIL died (whom I liked and would tell her to shut it) she was visiting in FL. Boys in college or old enough not to do stupid stuff. I was slugging a gin and tonic and watching her swim laps as I cooked and proud of our lovely and clean home. And how I'd managed not to flip her out that visit. She came in and asked if I had any steel wool (no), or Ajax (no), and something else. Nope! Called her son and requested this without asking why. She wanted to clean his grill AND scrub the BOTTOMS of the PVC pool furniture from scrapes of the pool deck. She saw this horror from the pool and looking for anything to clean. I thought this was hilarious but did not laugh in front of her. Have at it! Clean everything! Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at May 19, 2026 11:01 PM (WONhk) 181

The OSS contracted a shrink to put together a psychological profile of Herr Schicklegruber, it was actually fairly accurate and predicted he would probably kill hisself.
The whole thing had a lot of moving parts. Allen Dulles was stationed in Bern, and talking with high level party members who knew the war was lost by early ‘44. The “Unconditional Surrender” was a bit controversial at the time, for one thing it makes people fight to the last. Uncle Joe Stalin didn’t want any negotiated surrender with the West, and the Allies were prepared to let him get away with about anything, for cooperation in the Pacific war.

Being a college administrator is a pretty tough gig. The Chancellor and Provost are always breathing down your neck to get things done. Tenured faculty just ignore you. Students (and their parents) are always complaining about something or other. And you never have the resources or support to carry out your mission. The best you can do is coast until retirement.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel My experience over the years with academic deans and assistant deans, provosts, etc. were not very positive from an administrative standpoint. Too worried about either a) building a resume to bounce somewhere else, b) always worried about raising funds that never somehow trickled down to the academic departments, and c) currying favor with some chosen faculty members. None of them were concerned much at my school with educating students, just in avoiding student complaints and reputation loss on their watch. A true STEM college might be different but ours was a large institution by the time I left. As in tens of thousands of students which in turn created a bureaucratic nightmare. Wasn't that way when I started. Posted by: whig at May 19, 2026 11:15 PM (E4rtv) Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at May 19, 2026 11:15 PM (iERP6) 206

Exit poll showed 18-55 year olds votes heavily for Massie 26-35 was Massive +56, 36-45
Massie +38. But 55+ was very anti-Massie. About +30 for Gallrein overall, with 65-75 at +35. An epic battle of generations. And older people vote at higher rates. So even though younger voters skewed much more heavily Massie there weren’t as many of them as older voters.

Not a hoarder. Not filthy with crunchy floors or nasty rooms, but not even close to OCD about anything. Clean enough is my motto. If I have a big dinner party I will clear the table, throw stuff in the dishwasher and soak pans, etc. Wash china/crystal the next day. Granted, she put china and crystal in the dishwasher, which is a sin in the South. So maybe I'm the screwed up one. After a surgery I took care of her for one hell week. She'd fret from bed. Closet needed cleaning (looked fine to me but I did it). My husband married the opposite of her. And may wish now I was more neurotic but too late now, dude. Other than him marrying up (ha) and a former supermodel breadwinner, he got to have a puppy with me before we married. She only let him have little green Salmonella turtles.

Right now, I see a divergence in yutes--those that are college track are probably distinct from those working or seeking jobs that do not require a college degree. I think due to the disappearance of illegals in a lot of places, jobs are opening up in construction, restaurants, etc., probably now truck driving, and so on.
Those college bound or in college are scared to death of outsourcing and H1Bs as well as AI taking or preventing them from getting good jobs in the future. And if they are male, they have been shit on in their education throughout the years. I don't think they see Trump as helping them much as it is taking time to kill DEI, decrease H1Bs, spin up new industries, and the question whether AI is going to kill the white collar middle class jobs is up for grabs.

That was the default. The bomb obviated that plan, but it was Plan A.
——— Operation Olympic. Invasion of the home islands, scheduled for November 1st. A million men overall. Planning takes months, they had to continue with all the logistics and everything that entails, and not place hopes in a secret weapon that hadn’t been proved out yet. My uncle was in the ETO and said the boys were not happy with the idea of being redeployed to the Pacific. They believed they had done their part, and it was time to go home. There was even some talk about going Awol. But a million troops is a lot of guys, they gotta come from somewhere. Posted by: Common Tater at May 19, 2026 11:43 PM (EACZC) 268

45 Evening, Horde...How goes it?
Well, it's official. My old boss--who wanted to fire me because I forgot to format a PowerPoint slide--is out of her job and is relegated to a faculty position within her old department. In academia, that's the equivalent of being exiled to Siberia. Meanwhile, my current boss is taking over her job in a couple of weeks. Karmic justice? Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at May 19, 2026 10:13 PM (gnNyN) Well...it's a better outcome than my last 'bad' boss. He dropped dead at 47 y.o. a few weeks ago. In a 45 year career he was among the top 3 worst jerk bosses I ever had and that includes the guy that was dragged out kicking and screaming by security and the nasty (unmarried, childless) broad who called my wife up when we had small children and made demeaning remarks about her to her.

It is indisputable, from what I've read, that Massie made a major effort (quietly) to get crossover votes. Perhaps his campaign made its effort to do that prior to the 28 day window.

My honest estimation is that not using A-bombs on Japan would have lead to the total destruction of Japan. If we would have stayed our hand and proceeded with Operation Olympic and Operation Coronet, we would have incurred a million casualties, but at the cost of the lives of twenty million Japanese men, women, and children. Remember, the Japanese brass wanted to give children sharpened bamboo poles to hold off invading forces. Japan as a nation would not have recovered from a loss of that magnitude. It would have become something else, something no longer Japanese. Just my opinion.

Screaming for Vengeance and Defenders of the Faith are my favorite JP albums. Oddly, I don't really have any animosity for Turbo even though I feel like I should. I don't hold it against JP the same way I do with the general metal meltdown of the late 80s. JP was just ahead of the curve by a couple of years there. They did better work afterword though.

What was kind of interesting to me was learning that even before the first bomb had been tested, war planners and administration officials believed that this new potential in warfare - bombs that could destroy entire cities was a game changer, and the USA wouldn’t have a monopoly on it forever. Less than 4 years it turned out.
The Air Force brass, some of the commanders sort of thought it was just another bomb, a new weapon that would be placed in the inventory and they could drop them on Japan as they saw fit, like anything else. They had to be disabused of that notion, that’s not how this is going to work. Posted by: Common Tater at May 20, 2026 12:04 AM (EACZC) 301

“Very expensive fizzles”
They built an enormous cast steel container for just this reason, expensive as hell, and shipped it all the way to the Trinity site. The idea was if the bomb test failed, then it would hopefully contain the plutonium that had been laboriously accumulated at Hanford. There were a few well meaning sorts who were not in favor of nuking Japan, that a “demonstration” test should be done instead, and this would persuade Japan to surrender. But among many logical arguments against this, what if you setup this big demonstration test, and it doesn’t go off? Now what? Posted by: Common Tater at May 20, 2026 12:22 AM (EACZC) 327

All of us in Texas are both laughing and rolling our eyes at the woefully ignorant comments by Christie, High Hewitt, and other uniparty out of state hacks.
First: Trump’s endorsement is nice, but that’s just him jumping on a bandwagon. Everyone paying close to attention knows that Paxton has been way ahead of Cornyn for weeks. Texas Republican voters are sick to death of Cornyn, and are eager to give him the boot. I expect the margin in the race to be similar to the Gallrein/Massie results, maybe even better. Second: the idea that Talerico is going to be some big vote getter is part of Democrat talking points that the Uniparty/nevertrumpers have lapped up. The whole case comes down to this - Talerico pretends to be a preacher and says Jesus a lot, and Texas voters are all ignorant hillbillies who will vote for someone says Jesus, even if he says that it would have been ok if Mary aborted Jesus, because his god loves abortion. (Yes, Talerico really said that). And when you think it can’t get any worse, he even said he hates barbecue and won’t touch it because it’s not vegetarian That pathetic false preacher is going to be one of the biggest flameouts this fall.

I did some digging, guy reposted some old news for clicks. Lisa's interview was in 2019, but some are reporting that draft emails were recently recovered (may make a difference as a lot of these players were putting draft emails on an account, never sending it, but they shared passwords to the email account widely so others could login and read the draft. Presumably to avoid data interception. Posted by: whig =============== Thanks for digging. It's hard to get back into the context of 2019.

FWIW, I dug into that poll regarding Kentucky 4th and with crosstabs on age. It was not an exit poll but something done by BigDataPoll polling outfit. They tracked that race several times with a poll of about 400 Likely Voters using text invites an online website or replying to the text to a selection of Kentucky 4th voters.
Puts their results at about 95 percent confidence interval as stated with sample size which makes diving them up into age cohorts practically useless error wise. I also caught that they had something like 81 percent of their sample claiming they were sure to vote. Turnout shows that sample was not representative. KY 4th has about 310k total GOP registered voters, about 100 k turned out. So turnout was about 33-34 percent of all registered GOP voters in that district. So, their likely voter screening was crap. I would be leery of relying on this poll for any real results given these problems. If you notice, the margin that Gallrein won was beyond the confidence interval of +-4 percent. There is always a bit of interesting data to be gathered from any sample and it was mainly about campaigning. Gallrein did not use door knockers but Massie did Posted by: whig at May 20, 2026 12:59 AM (E4rtv) 347

The gun type would theoretically work with nearly pure Pu-239. The problem was trace amounts of Pu-240, which has a high spontaneous fission rate, which causes pre-detonation with the gun type. It's nearly impossible to to separate them enough to get the near 100% purity needed. Also, even if you could purify it, they were going to need a pretty long barrel, requiring a very long bomb, that was very unstable aerodynamically (tended to go into a spin), even if you had a long enough bomber to drop it.

Galindo is a sex and family therapist and single mother who became locally known after opposing a redevelopment project affecting affordable housing in San Antonio. Despite reportedly spending only around $11,000 on her campaign, she finished first in the Democratic primary with 29.2% of the vote and advanced to a runoff against sheriff’s deputy Johnny Garcia. --- It's very good of her and the Democrat party to make a clear distinction between themselves and the Republicans.

Yeah. With the implosion type, over that 6% or 7% limit will start causing timing problems making a fizzle more likely. Also the heat gets to be a problem for the device sitting there. Now, reading, apparently in the Fat Man days, they could tolerate only about 1% in the earlier implosion designs. As that tech gets better, they can handle more Pu-240.

latest DC backchannels can confirm by sources familiar with the campaign, Massie's original campaign slogan was slated to be 'vote for Lew (jr) , not the J...s' but the ADL and APIAC served them with a cease-and-desist. The massie campaign made the politically-astute decision to abide by the order, as to avoid any potential bad press.

Incidentally, I'm a bit disappointed in the Oregon primary results. We only have runoffs for non-partisan positions, like circuit court judge or county commissioner; otherwise, the Republican with the most votes is the party nominee. And for governor, I thought that either the 2nd or 3rd-place finisher would have a better chance against incumbent Tina Kotek (D).
My vote was for State Rep. Ed Diehl, who came in 2nd, as the best overall package; and I read somewhere that 3rd-place ex-Trailblazer Chris Dudley polled favorably against Kotek. (It's actually a purple state, maybe even leaning red, if not for Motor Voter and the Magic Mail-Ins.) But State Sen. Christine Drazan is higher up in the party machine, and easily cleared the bar, so... time to pray.

Watched a cool video last night where these two guys went camping in Yellowstone three times, once using 1925 gear, once with 1975 gear and once with modern gear. In the 1925 segment they had a choice of wiping with rocks or leaves. (Both chose rocks. "I never heard of a poison rock.")

Massie, a refresher.
"It’s hard to overstate how big of a thorn in Trump’s side Massie has been – and how great of a victory Gallrein’s win is for the president. Massie has opposed Trump on every significant initiative he has proposed. He voted against bills to keep Trump’s government funded and opened. He voted against the Big, Beautiful Bill, the historic package containing the bulk of Trump’s campaign platform. He partnered with radical Democrat Ro Khanna from California to force through a bill ostensibly to release what is known as the Epstein files, but which instead caused trouble for Trump – who is not credibly accused of any wrongdoing and has been revealed to have been one of the first prominent celebrities to sound the alarm on Epstein, even banning him from Mar-A-Lago – and halted his agenda, while resulting in no additional perpetrators being brought to justice. Put simply, no Democrat has been as effective as stopping Trump’s agenda as Thomas Massie has been. And now, after Trump went all-in to take him out, his political career is over."

Gizmo wasn't my dog, he was hers.
He was a malshipoo, a Maltese, Shih Tzu and Miniature or Toy Poodle. Like to warble for attention, like the movie namesake; that's how he got the name. He was a tall, fuzzy brown and white goof sometimes with attitude. But he always listened, loved to just be near. He really liked stretching those long legs and running away from all the other dogs. Nothing made him happier than the time he found the mud puddle in the back yard. Running around in big loops as fast as he could to circle back to slide and splash through the mud. Completely exhausted, completely covered in mud and completely happy. What a sight. Goodbye little buddy: Hope you're running, splashing and playing in heaven.

Well, I filled out my Oregon mail-in ballot and put it in the nearby official drop-box (in the library parking lot, next to the drive-thru book return). Had to be there by 8 p.m. and it's not yet 5:30.
Also signed up online to receive text message updates on its progress, where the online dashboard helpfully tells me that it's 1/3 Outbound, where the next steps are 2/3 Received and 3/3 Accepted. That's actually pretty slick. The brief sign-up form let you limit the times they would send a message, and I accepted the default of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., which means I won't get any updates until tomorrow (since they won't even collect it from the drop box until the quiet time). Received the welcoming text message and replied Yes to confirm. With the Silicon Forest and everything, Oregon prides itself on being fairly hip to the tech, and this does seem to be well-done.

"Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far"
I always sang it "Iron Maiden's gonna get you, how near or how far." Still do even though I know it's wrong. One of the funniest misheard lyrics I've heard: Back in the 90s I was in a band and we wanted to cover a song by Guided by Voices lead singer Robert Pollard called 'Subspace Biographies." *Great* song btw. First run-through in rehearsal, our lead singer sang "There is nothing worse than an ugly German person" and we all stopped playing and lost it cracking up! The line is: "There is nothing worse than an undetermined person." Lead singer was embarassed but managed to say in his defense "well, my version IS true!"

I may add more to the balcony when I get back. Nothing fancy. I don't get enough sun. Spider plants, coleus, and whatever weeds blow in do well. I've had some mystery weeds in the past that look nice so I left them alone. Probably aliens.

And, after a couple of delays, looks like Elon and SpaceX are shooting for Thursday, the 21st, for the Starship v3 test launch. You can check out SpaceX X for some pics of the rollout of the massive thing. Unlike NASA, SpaceX doesn't do vertical stacking, but they stack the Ship and the big booster at the pad using the massive tower arms. They do a lot of stacking and unstacking in the testing and checkout before a launch. They are constructing a big "Gigabay" facility down at Starbase which will apparently be able to do vertical assembly at some point.

Posted by: runner ====== I just feel for the people of District 4, while Massie was gallivanting around with his mistresses and Massie's Nasties, the district was not being represented. That is what happens when a person's ego and bile against Jews and Israel ends up corroding one's soul. I think his and his supporters political attacks on Israel and his harping on Epstein when it was shown nothing was there doomed him. And most of the district wanted no part of that nasty flirting with real life Not Sees and Muzzies pushing Massie for their own evil reasons. Killed whatever libertarian message, if any, that Massie was actually pushing. If he had stopped at simply criticizing government spending and debt or even criticizing the war against Iran, he would have stayed in office most likely. He had to go into the gutter.

Wait, so there is an album cover with Stevie Nicks, and she's holding a bird. The bird is white. It may be a parrot. OK, but white bird makes you think of a dove right? And why would she be holding the bird?
Because it can't fly, because it only has one wing. Or I guess it could theoretically kind of spiral down, but is that flight? No it is not. I bet the whole idea was to have a song about a one winged dove and at the last minute they rewrote it due to CORPORATE PRESSURE! So in a way, I'm right and the world is wrong.

What the GOPe fails to understand is that Trumpism will outlast Trump. There is no going back. And after his term ends, Trump will have all the time in the world to destroy those who thwarted him. That's the message this spring. Cassidy, Massie, the Hoosier pussies, and next up, Cornyn.

His endorsement. His willingness to campaign for candidates he likes, fundraising for them. Opposition research on their opponents. He's like a freelance bomber wing, roaming around the country and devastating those who oppose him.
Tireless. No distractions, just out there to make sure that everyone in your state, in your district knows that YOU personally screwed them over. And the media can't get enough of him. And again, do you think another Repub president wants him interfering and inserting himself? There's a reason we used to have a policy that ex-presidents largely recused themselves from politics. The only reason Obama is doing it and the Dems haven't told him to STFD and STFU is because they don't have a leader of the party now. That will not be the case with president Vanciotis. On another level, I think Melania will tell him "Enough!" Posted by: Archimedes at May 19, 2026 09:31 PM (Riz8t) 312

Posted by: Duncanthrax ===== I think the campaign funds were his payout. Same with his crony and aid Gabe Sterling who ran the office during the 2020 fraud and ran for Sec. of State. And it ended the career of Chris Carr, cowardly AG who saw no evil and heard no evil. Jackson, the late parachuted in billionaire candidate by courtesy of Kemp's state contracts, dropped a cool $100 million of his own money on the governor's race. I think he was put into the race because Carr and Ratshitburger had no chance at winning clearly by the time Jackson entered. Jackson is currently running second to Trump endorsed Burt Jones bu the race will go to a runoff. Democrat candidate for governor is Keisha Lance Bottoms who quit her job as Atlanta mayor because she was so bad at ait. Did not run in 2022 for reelection.

First to the former and absolutely not to the latter. I don't think The Donald could explain basic math. He's just too scatter-brained. He is not a great communicator. He's shitty at it. But he's blunt - in a completely awful way. His greatest advantage is he's operating in a relative vacuum.

I've worked in Maine. And I've watched Maine cops in places like Augusta walk away when Somalis do Somali things. Maine, frankly, deserves Susan Collins. Posted by: Howdy at May 19, 2026 10:01 PM (Tu33N) 387

Comment on X about the latest pro Ham Ass flotilla to 'aid' them.
" Eyal Yakoby@EYakoby · May 18 BREAKING: All flotilla activists have been detained and brought back to Israel. Zero aid was found on board. But plenty of condoms and drugs were." Posted by: whig at May 19, 2026 10:02 PM (E4rtv) Posted by: Auspex at May 19, 2026 10:02 PM (Y8DZL) 390
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: The Trump DOJ is demanding 865,000 THOUSAND Detroit, Michigan 2024 election ballots to ensure election laws were followed
865,000 ballots is a lot for a town of maybe 500,000. Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at May 19, 2026 10:04 PM (/lPRQ) Posted by: mnw at May 19, 2026 10:04 PM (RCjYY) 392
Fair elections. Only registered living citizens can vote. They can vote once. In one jurisdiction. Voting is made in person. On Election Day. Only exceptions are military stationed overseas. That’s it. Posted by: nurse ratched at May 19, 2026 10:01 PM (A5RD0) I like this. But I have to admit I wasn’t a fan of TX early voting. Now I think it works. Helpful, because if you are out of town on Election Day you have still cast your vote. The period should be shorter though. Like this week. Election Day is May 26, and early voting is this week, M-F, ONLY. Posted by: Cow Demon at May 19, 2026 10:06 PM (T6aVk) 393

Posted by: mnw at May 19, 2026 10:04 PM (RCjYY) The last "aid flotilla" supposedly was seized under admiralty law, and I suspect the boats were auctioned since that is the usual practice. Posted by: Kindltot at May 19, 2026 10:25 PM (rbvCR) 400
