Blow It Out Yer...

Not one, but TWO stories on this subject. WTF???

Butt Breathing May Soon Be A Real Medical Treatment

A research team that previously won the 2024 Ig Nobel Prize in Physiology for discovering that mammals can breathe through their anus has released promising new findings on the potential medical use of this method in humans. Commonly referred to as “butt breathing,” the technique could one day offer an alternative treatment for patients suffering from severe respiratory failure.

First Human Trial Proves Breathing Through Your Butt is Safe

Take a deep breath, hold it in… Exhale.

Now do the same thing through your butt.

Well, you obviously can’t do that, because your lungs are hooked up to a different orifice. However, a recent scientific breakthrough has demonstrated that breathing through your booty is not only possible, but safe.

Butt breathing doesn’t involve drawing air in through your back door, however. Instead, it works by pumping an oxygen-rich liquid solution into the intestines.

***

Still, we’ve entered a brave new era for humanity. We can now not only talk out of our asses, but breathe through them too.

Man Found with Thermos Bottle Inside Body After Arrest in Polk County

As part of the jail intake process, Frymire underwent a body scan — standard procedure to prevent weapons or contraband from entering the facility. It was during this scan that deputies observed a thermos bottle lodged inside his body.

“He brought a thermos into jail. That’s right — he put it in the exit ramp,” Sheriff Judd explained, using his typical blunt tone. Frymire allegedly told deputies the thermos bottle had been inserted approximately 24 hours prior but clarified he had not swallowed it.

Ouch. Why?!?

It's Halloween Week

Haunted Car Wash Trend Surges Nationwide as Halloween Approaches

Halloween season is driving in new business for car washes across the country, thanks to a growing trend: the haunted car wash. Locations like Fast Splash Car Wash in Detroit are turning routine vehicle cleanings into immersive horror experiences complete with clowns, chainsaws, and strobe lights.

Visitors to these haunted car washes remain in their vehicles as actors in costume approach, tapping windows, yanking at door handles, and delivering frights between sprays of soap and spinning brushes. For many, the eerie atmosphere stirs childhood memories of being uneasy during a standard car wash – now amplified with Halloween theatrics.

***

While no official data exists on the economic impact of haunted car washes, the International Carwash Association notes that offering a “memorable or differentiated wash experience” is considered “very important” by the majority of car wash businesses.

For many operators, the haunted car wash is not just a seasonal gimmick – it’s a creative way to attract new customers, boost revenue, and stay top-of-mind in their communities during the competitive Halloween season.

DJ Doof - This Date in Music History Edition
(from thisdayinmusic.com)

On this date in 2022: One of the last survivors of rock 'n' roll's golden age Jerry Lee Lewis died aged 87. Nicknamed "the Killer", he was described as Rock and roll's first great wild man



On this date in 1997: R.E.M. drummer Bill Berry announced that he was leaving the group after 17 years, becoming a farmer. On March 1, 1995, at the Patinoire Auditorium in Lausanne, Switzerland, Berry collapsed on stage during an R.E.M. show from a ruptured brain aneurysm. He recovered but left saying that he no longer had the drive or enjoyment level to be in the band.



Born on this date in 1972: American country music singer, songwriter, and guitarist Brad Paisley. He has charted more than 50 singles on the Billboard country singles charts

12 The Twiteratti are losing their minds over the official White House tweet with an AI generated President Trump as the Masterchief declaring "Power to the Players" as HALO is now being ported to the Playstation.

DHS has also Tweeted out an image of a Spartan manning the gun on a Warthog with the message "Defeat the Flood" to recruit people for ICE.

Meanwhile the original composer for the HALO music, Marty, is running for Congress as a Trump supporting Republican.

13 Kyle Seraphin, when he was an FBI agent, followed the pipe bomb suspect on video to a metro station where he used an identified metro card who's owner is known. He rode the Metro into VA where he got into a car owned by the same person who owned the Metro card. Kyle was going to interview the owner of the car and metro card when he was taken off the investigation and subsequently fired by the FBI. The metro card owner is retired military ordinance specialist who is a government contractor. My guess is he works for BATFE. The only way BATFE could get into the FedSurrection/Reichstag Fire op on J6 was through the Explosives part of their name. And the phone company denies his phone data was scrambled. The NSA records every phone call in DC - ask them who the suspect was.

No offense, but Inspector Clouseau could have caught the pipe bomber years ago. In fact the Keystone Cops would have been beating this guy with billy clubs for the entire Biden administration. Even Chief Wiggum of the Springfield police could have had this guy booked and cooked by now.

50 Did Knievel even modify the suspension … at all?

Jumping a Harley is stupid … at best. Modern dirt or Enduro bikes have fully articulated deep stroking (no jokes pliz) shocks that make jumps almost routine. The MFer was crazy. He was cool though. My parents didn’t think so.

Every kid with a bike started jumping everything. We had a nice hill in our parents backyard, and we setup a ramp and set it on fire before making the jumps. My suspicion is, Emergency Room visits spiked anytime ole Evel made another jump on ABC. LOL

Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?

Louis: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

56 c.1973 I saw E. Knievel jump a bunch of cars at Castle Rock, Co. They had a racetrack just west of the interstate. The show was good. He did something I never saw on TV. About 5 minutes before he made the jump, he walked up the landing ramp and drew a circle with chalk, about 3 feet in diameter. Never mentioned it. Made the jump. Went down on the track afterward and the landing tire mark was inside the circle. Dude new some stuff!

98 I worked at a residential treatment center for teens too young to go to jail, both sex offenders and normal crimes. There was a large young lady in the sex offender unit who would shove c or d cells up her butt, mostly on weekends. It got her out of the facility to the ER for a few hours, upset her keepers, and got her some attention. After a few times the doc on duty asked her "Takeisha, why do you keep doing this?"
She replied, "Cuz I like when you take them out."

Love Brad Paisley, and, yeah, I know he has a liberal stripe. However he seems very grounded, married to the wife of his youth, very funny, and a nice guy. He knew he wanted to marry Kimberley the first time he saw her in a movie. Would love to see him someday if we can.

This really depends on the market - if houses are selling quickly, it might not matter. A cash offer is always going to be more attractive due to the lack of complexity if there are multiple equal or close to equal offers. I would get a buyers agent to help you with this, so you get true comps, etc. For reference, we took the cash offer on our house in NJ when we moved back here, but it was still 10% above asking, because the market was insane.

It depends on if you know the butt squeezer.

The only time I was goosed, on a sidewalk, dusk, and across the street of a park near the university. I reacted with instant blind rage. A frat boy, and I chased him after trying to hit his head with the lid of a cast iron Dutch oven I was carrying. Long story I will spare you all.

I immediately yelled, "You bastard!" and gave chase. The lid weighted me down and I should have dropped it or thrown it at him...and then caught him and beat him to a pulp. My male apt mates made me call the police and I am sure the policeman enjoyed reporting this to his fellow cops.

Back then I did not cuss as much as I do in my brain now, which I need to change before I get senile.

At least I know I will fight from that lesson.

Unless the house you want to buy is vendor-financed, all sales are cash to the vendor. Normally you owe the mortgage to the bank, not the vendor.

I would suggest you ask the realtor who is handling the sale of the parental home. He/she should know the state of the local market and how low you can lowball without it being considered an insult.

I remember a plot point in the movie The Abyss was that there was a LOX solution you could use to dive deeper.

IIRC the problem with this in the real world is that then you accumulate CO2 with no way to remove it since your lungs are full of fluid.

How would this work for butt breathing?

Definitely get an inspection and find out if it’s overpriced, then. Again, unless it’s normal for where you are. I really would get a buyers agent. It sounds great, but you are spending a lot of money and need to be sure it’s what you need and what you want.

Is the "butt breathing" thing based on using CO2 to "inflate" the area for a colonoscopy camera?

When they used just normal air, you'd have to fart it all back out, and have the gas cramps that go along with it. CO2 gets absorbed into the blood and processed out normally.

So they realized they could introduce O2 as well as CO2 into the bloodstream through the back door?

Make sure you know what you a) want to pay, b) what you are willing to pay, and c) what your limit is.
Lowball it, and look depressed when they counter-offer.
I figure the seller can't say no unless I make an offer, so I am really just doing him a favor.
When I bought I was looking at local prices versus what I liked about my place.

Jeff Childers, who has a brilliant blog (Coffee & Covid), posited today that Bill Gates is pivoting to distance himself from the glo-bull warmening grift, because of the USAID and NGO being defunded, and the Trump administration's abandonment of sll things "green". He's looking for more lucrative sources.
Posted by: Fastly Strokewater

I also wouldn't be surprised if Gates is plumb tired of it, and maybe exasperated with all the "experts" he relied on with their warnings not coming true. Kind of embarrassing, and maybe he was kind of jacked around. Maybe back off this one and find the new hotness. I hear Islamophobia is very big right now, also all the talk about a Universal Basic Income. Could be a very effective lever of power.

(Hint, don't use a realtor recommended inspector) another house that the inspector said was unlivable sold at 7% over every penny, including utilities, that was put into it.

Take advice but always consult your gut.

Berserker,

They look like the white parts are vinyl.

We think the metal tracks are warped. They need to be either worked on or replaced.

We live in a remote area and finding someone to fix stuff like that is impossible.

We'll have to have someone come here to Wyoming from Salt Lake City. Of course we'll be told they need to be replaced.

With my husband's corporate career we have bought and sold 8 houses. I busted my ass to make sure everything was working.

A lot of people don't give a shit.

Posted by: four seasons at October 28, 2025 11:06 PM (3ek7K)

Sounds like they may be vinyl replacement windows, but I'm not sure I ever saw any with metal tracks. Usually the tracks are vinyl and there some kind of tube looking mechanism that holds the spring. I'm asking because sometimes I ran across replacements that were done and shimmed on the sides way too much literally squeezing the window to where it couldn't be moved. I have seen some replacement windows years ago that did actually have a metal/aluminum track, but it wasn't a self contained replacement. You got 2 tracks and 2 sashes and installed it all into the original jambs, but those didn't have any moving parts. If they are actual vinyl replacements with damaged mechanisms it "could" be a bitch to find parts depending on the style and age. I did 100's of windows in my time. If I saw it I could tell you immediately whats going on, but from here I'm only guessing.

If it is a ball or roller bearing, you can get a new one from a bearing supply house. They are very standardized. Even the part numbers track from brand to brand. A 6201 is a 6201 is a 6201. 'Bout the same as flashlight batteries. If you can get the old bearing out, there should be a number on it you can search. Worst case? Measure I.D., O.D., thickness, and note presence of shields or seals. Nearly all ball and roller bearings are dimensioned in metric units, and have been for decades.

284 Nursing error I should have caught before typed above with the enemas on a raft idea. Too LITTLE sodium can cause cerebral edema, not too much. Hyponatremia ain't going to happen with a salt water enema.

So I reckon if Gilligan is acting wonky let's get that salt water squirted inside him! Using what I do not know! In a raft, who has a plastic straw? I don't want to think about this before bed.

This is why the Pediatric Academy started frowning on teaching babies to swim, after I'd already taught our sons. Because some nitwits kept dunking the babies too much vs 2-3 times, the babies swallowed a ton of water, and their sodium levels went low and they died.

It is because of complete idiots that children went on to probably drown vs float. Mine at least, as babies, could come to the top of the water, flip over on their backs and/or swim to the side before they were two yrs old.

Both of our parents had pools, we lived in FL with water everywhere at the time, and I am a good swimmer. Drowning was not an option. Our toddler did fall into one of the pools once but knew what to do as I snatched him out within seconds. All it takes is one second and they can fall in.

299 Four seasons: have a great and wonderful 49th!!!

We replaced all of our blasted windows along with everything else. They are pretty fast when they do it and the first were replaced during a cold rainstorm and snow. Which was cold, but worth it. We did it in two swoops. PITA, but lowered heating and cooling bills.

We'd been here about 2yrs when a lot of rain from the south caused leaks on all of the south windows. A fine mess. Those were replaced first.

The most recent are triple paned facing north. A lotta windows in this house. I think last spring. Either Anderson or something else, and look for sales.

In our first very small house in FL my husband replaced every old jalousie window one weekend when I was at work and he had the 4 and 2yr old chimps. At one point he did find the baby hanging out of one. I figured it would be a mess with bats flying in at night, but he got it done somehow!

307 The thing that's wild is that Evil Knevil jump is a ho-hum barely worth mentioning jump today.

That was my point earlier. He was jumping a Harley, and the suspensions & shocks wholly unsuited for that. I’m not sure they were modified or just off the shelf. He was completely crazy to do that, it’s “ho-hum” now because the equipment is so much improved.

Easier to do with girls than boys. Boys will want to be served their entire life. Putting an end to that is the first trick.

Girls will see other girls wearing cute panties and be all in on using the potty.

Second son wanted to be a big boy like his brother and father. Unfortunately he discovered he could pee at the beach one day at 18mo. This led to me seeing him in the backyard wanting to pee outside vs inside. He finally figured it out.

Then came the pee wars and an eventual replacement of their toilet.

I have read of women, who seem to be hippies, letting their kids run around nekkid to potty train. Done in a weekend I read!

This might work but what happens when they wear clothing? I also was not keen on what happened if it failed as life was hard enough at the time. The juggle was real.

316 Water filters work great for fresh water. Sea water is a problem however. Filters won’t remove minerals or salt. Distillation is one method, not practical on a raft. Survival kits have a few cans of water, but it won’t last long.

Reverse osmosis devices have sort of obviated the problem, but they are slow at best, and expensive. I read a book called “The Raft” about 3 navy aviators who ditched at sea and spent a month in a very small raft in the pacific. They were baked in the sun like broiled lobsters. They would soak up brackish rainwater in a shirt and try to drink that once in a while. Dixon, Aldrich, and Pastula were their names.

333 My current washing machine here in Alberta is a Whirlpool direct-drive top-loader. No belts in it. Built differently, too. Undo 2 screws and some clips, and the entire cabinet tilts forward and slides off the base, exposing all the works. The pump, which leaked slightly, is located low in the front. 2 hoses, and two screws, i think, and out it comes. Control is old-school mechanical timer.

The real leak was not the pump; it was the corrugated pump-out hose chafing on the cement floor, which wore a hole in it. Splinted that up, and it will never be a problem again.

When President Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on Chinese goods, the Chinese Communist Party didn’t just retaliate with trade measures. It launched an information war, using American insiders to spread its narrative that tariffs were reckless and self-defeating.

The only way to.have dual citizenship is by birth - one parent of each. But... At 21 ( or 18 if you want register to vote) ... choose.
Choose US citizenship, good. Choose the other, green card. Automatic if you've lived here for long enough. Otherwise, apply like everyone else.

415 I worked on a few projects with a wiki. It works ok if it's set up right. By now, I imagine that any decent IT department has a standard template.
Never used it on any of the project where I was lead. Had project meetings MWF, with progress reports due in my inbox by Friday. I'd summarize, send it up the chain, and cc everyone in the project. Of course a wiki is better if you have remote workers, but we were doing hardware which doesn't lend itself to remote as easily as software.

Ah! Thanks. And from that source, here is commentary regarding the philosophy that was evolving in Ward's idea, even in the late 70's, via mail, before there were 'digital spaces':

Ward Cunningham's invention of the wiki in 1995 was grounded in a philosophy of radical trust, positing that collaborative editing could thrive through an assumption of good faith among participants, obviating the need for stringent verification or credentials prior to contributions. This ethos enabled the WikiWikiWeb, initially serving as a dynamic knowledge base for software pattern discussions among a small group of programmers, where emergent consensus would refine content over time. Cunningham emphasized creating an environment fostering human connection in digital spaces, allowing strangers to build trust sufficient for co-creating meaningful artifacts without centralized control

———

Humans are adapted (or created if you will) to burn fat. Protein is only burned in a serious starvation. This takes a long time. It is important to consume enough protein, for adult males it is closer to 100 grams daily. The USDA claims about half that. Go figure. As we age our bodies do not utilize protein efficiently, so don’t think only bodybuilders need lots of protein.

So she took her paw and gently put it on top of one of the one that was harassing her. It was hilarious to see, especially the sigh and the look of resignation on our dog's face 🤣🤣🤣

128 I own a Maine Coon, Tom. When I took him off the street at age six weeks, I thought he was just another orange cat. He quickly grew into a giant Lovebeast, a Cat Dialed Up To Eleven in strength, cunning, and Catitude.

And hair! OMG, the shedding and the hairballs! I should have named him Shed. Or Puke.

When I open a fresh bag of dry chow, all the cats wolf it down. (A bag lasts less than a week, and they don't like it as much when the bag's been open even a day.)

So Tom stuffs himself. Then he goes through all the kitchen cabinets looking to eat something, anything, that will make him barf. He prefers to eat certain plastic films and wax paper as an emetic. I try, not hard enough I guess, to keep him away from that stuff.

Then he vomits it all up, in every room that he isn't locked out of. He's a mobile barfer.

Heeb is a racial (ethnic?) slur against Jewish people.

_________

"Hebe" has been considered offensive for a long time.

"'We’re living in a sensitive age, Cuke,” Skeffington had said, 'and I’m not altogether sure you’re fully attuned to it. For example, if the Jewish Businessmen’s Association was having a small get-together and you were to speak at it, I have the feeling that your first story might begin with the words: ‘A little Hebe named Epstein was walking down the street one day...’ Now you may not realize it, but that kind of thing doesn’t exactly bring the Jewish vote swarming to my doors." - Edwin O'Connor The Last Hurrah (1956)

139 Katko v. Briney is the case some entitled porch pirate will use if they try to go after you in civil court and can show injuries. Every single one of the examples on that video above can lead to injuries. The courts value bodily injury above loss of property.

In the Katko case, some farmer was pissed off because a continued rash of burglaries to his uninhabited house, so he set up a trap in one of the bedrooms what would fire a shot gun at knee level if someone opened it. Well, someone did and that guy won $30k back in 1971. Today, it would be high six figure.

The porch pirate would have to show injuries from the glitter bombs or whatever. But, there is no shortage of plaintiff leaning doctors out there.

It's just a risk I wouldn't take regardless of how entertaining and deserved.

But that costume needs some protection for the little girl's neck. Even a plastic plate will slice her if she falls forward. Probably not "cut the jugular and bleed out," but that's not a good place for a scar. Put some aquarium tubing around the edge, give her a thick turtleneck shirt, something.

My idea to fight porch pirates has always been to enlist neighbors in a package scheme. Just keep a one or two package-looking boxes on your porch at all times. Go ahead and label them "Empty Box, You Fucking Pirate and Smile for Hidden Camera." If everyone in the neighborhood put the empty boxes on their porches, the pirate would have to visit every single porch to find the actual loot. They'd be running from house to house (not suspicious at all, lol) or they'd possibly have to follow delivery trucks and note the addresses that got packages. Huge expenditure of time for possibly getting low-value items.

Even if I built the bomb myself, I don't think I'd want to have a live grenade sitting on my front porch.

And some small fractional percentage of porch piracy is going to be neighborhood kids being pranksters. It's not all DeShauns looking for Fentanyl money.

Eye injuries would be the soup du jour on the glitter bombs. My favorite isn't even a porch pirate trap. Have you ever seen the stolen bicycle ones? They lock a very expensive bike to a poll or even a bike stand and just wait for the usual suspect to show up with a chain cutter. They cut the lock, hop on and try to ride away. They get about 20 yards and the entire bike falls apart because all the screws were loosened or removed. It's hilarious. But, risky.

185 I would suspect eye injuries. Not worth the risk. I had items sent to an Amazon locker when we had a pirate problem which the hood solved.
Sometime in the 1920’s, a NYC transit cop helped a guy board a subway. In doing so, an illegal firework fell from the passenger’s bag, went off, knocked a tile from the ceiling and injured a third party. Courts held NYC liable because the cop knocked the firework out.

217 All they care about is liability. And, eventually, one of these thieving geniuses is going to take the hit legally to have a chance at the jackpot in civil court. And guess what? You're insurance company will wash their hands of the entire matter due to an "Intentional act." And, if John Q Homeowner who will be paying for the attorney and any verdict rendered by our lovely jury pools.

I don’t care for apologia for criminals, particularly because the Law is an Ass, and has ironically brought us to this point. But all this legal minutiae is a legacy of a society that is long, long gone. It was only in a high trust society that valuable items could simply be left on people’s porch in the first place.

So I’m completely unmoved by legal twaddle at rhis point. And to your point - see also “Judgment Proof”

The bottom feeder attorneys only go after people with money in the first place. Nobody GAF about thieves and looters, we are returning to the default whether we like it or not. The justice system is broken, sabotaged, whatever. Get used to seeing more of this.

Speaking of Trump in Asia, I'm actually surprised -- I didn't think it was possible anymore -- at the lefty case that Trump was exhibiting signs of confusion and dementia at that combo Sleeping Beauty Ballet/tea ceremony at the Japanese reception yesterday, just because the hosts were extending an arm (the way Asians do) to indicate "This way" or "Over here."

He's lost his mind! He's 79 years old!! He just had an MRI!!! (for back pain, duh?)

I watched the whole thing and there was basically ONE TIME when Takaichi said "This way," and it wasn't at all clear that Trump was in the wrong place.

So unwanted thieves see a snarling dinosaur barking and trying to tear through the glass to attack them. We've doubled the security by adding a new dog to the mix who has joined the velocirapor at the door.

Often linked databases have a level that informs all the dependent layers, and quite often a representative or cube-rat only works in one level, and is only accustomed to the work layer he or she works in, which leads to frustration when any change is merely local, instead of global in the system. Especially if it is strictly compartmentalized and the operator doesn't have access to the other areas.
This is made worse when varying types of data are mastered at different layers or location, because sometimes even IT hasn't a clue.

The gendarmes say that whoever on the force revealed that suspects were arrested blew their case with this premature revelation. They hadn't finished interrogating the suspects they had, they were hoping to find more perps, and they were definitely hoping to recover the loot. Thanks to the at-large perps now being alerted that the others were in custody, they've probably fled and hidden the loot.

268 “Isolationist” is a carefully curated pejorative from about 1940. It was coined that way. Intended that way. Brought to you (probably) by the same folks who coined “Conspiracy Theory” to those who were at least a mite skeptical of the whole JFK murder and the Warren report.

Anyhoo, they sanctioned Japan, froze assets, cut off their oil (Japan has no natural resources of her own) thus guaranteeing an attack sooner or later.

Right or Wrong - Does that sound “isolationist” to you? Does that sound “Non Interventionist”? (a somewhat more accurate term, if not one of sneering opprobrium). I don’t think so, because it isn’t.

Re the bunker. Apparently there is a 5 story structure under the North Lawn of the White House. According to Grok, during preparations for this Ballroom construction, some safety study data involving something about ground penetrating radar used to detect all the utility stuff around the WH layout was leaked. It didn't seem that bad, but it analysis of it showed massive voids under the North Lawn.

There is a investigation going on about the breach -- this has been planned a while, and that leak was in April of this year.

What amazes me is nothing has been mentioned in the mainstream press about this. But it's out there, as Grok knew all about it.

To clarify it wasn't a "leak", just some sloppy release of information that shouldn't have been -- the GSA was the one that did, at least according to Grok.

Remember a sinkhole that developed in the North Lawn in 2018? That was due to that massive digging and structure that was built. It was done in the Big Dig in 2010 - 2012. Barky's basketball court or whatever it was the cover for that. When you're going to be excavating massive amounts of dirt, well, you've got to have some excuse for all the truck traffic.

What if they get boxes of men's boxers? Or kid books? Nasal spray. Then what? The next Amazon order is oven mitts and pastry brushes.

I am ordering on whims now and stocking up for winter cooking as the cold weather improves that skill. A lot of Christmas shopping is done, which is nothing new and easier vs in stores. I'd rather die than go into a mall.

Sure, sometimes, like yesterday, I got some clothes from Nordstroms but I honestly am glad I don't have to deal with these dikwads. I would be even more violent than I am now.

LOL, Jeffrey Epstein "pal" Bill Gates walks back his previous banana-boat climate catastrophism.

Billionaire Bill Gates -- long one of the loudest voices warning of climate catastrophe -- now says the world has bigger problems to worry about. In a 17-page memo released Tuesday, the Microsoft co-founder called for a "strategic pivot" away from the obsessive focus on reducing global temperatures, urging leaders instead to prioritize fighting poverty and eradicating disease in the developing world. "Climate change is a serious problem, but it's not the end of humanity," Gates wrote.

Gates, 70, argued that global leaders have lost perspective by treating climate change as an existential crisis while millions continue to suffer from preventable diseases like malaria. "If I had to choose between eradicating malaria and preventing a tenth of a degree of warming, I'd let the temperature go up 0.1 degree," he told reporters ahead of next month's U.N. climate conference in Brazil. "People don't understand the suffering that exists today."

For decades, Gates has positioned himself as a leading advocate for global climate initiatives, investing billions in green energy projects and warning of the dangers of rising emissions. Yet his latest comments mark a striking reversal -- and a rare admission that the world's climate panic may have gone too far. "If you think climate is not important, you won't agree with the memo," Gates told journalists. "If you think climate is the only cause and apocalyptic, you won't agree with the memo. It's a pragmatic view from someone trying to maximize the money and innovation that helps poor countries."


Low-IQ thug Jasmine Ratchet has been getting rich from corporations while denouncing the same corporations.

Oh -- and she's investing heavily in pot.

Andrew Kerr of Free Beacon:

Inside Jasmine Crockett's Secret Stock Portfolio and Failed Attempts To Become a Marijuana Magnate

Crockett, a potential 2028 Senate candidate, did not report her stakes in major pharmaceutical, fossil fuel, marijuana, technology, and automobile firms


Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) owned stocks in at least 25 companies that she did not disclose to the public during her first congressional run in 2022, even though she'd quietly admitted to the holdings the previous year as a Texas state legislator. Crockett also didn't reveal the stock holdings once she got to Washington in 2023.

The far-left firebrand's impressive financial portfolio--according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a public records request--clashes with her image as an eco-warrior and beacon of progressivism. Further, Crockett, a self-described civil rights attorney, was an active stakeholder in the cannabis business--seeking unsuccessfully to open marijuana dispensaries in Ohio--even as she represented, as a defense lawyer, a man accused of murdering someone in a marijuana deal gone bad. Both in the Texas statehouse and in Congress, Crockett has pushed bills to decriminalize marijuana.

The records obtained by the Free Beacon open a window into the personal financial life of Crockett, 44, who says she supports herself. "I have no husband, y'all. Never been married, never been engaged," she told an interviewer in February, holding up her hands to emphasize the absence of a ring.

The House sophomore's stock holdings include stakes in several corporations that stood to benefit from actions she's taken as a lawmaker and legislation she's introduced in Congress, and others that stand in opposition to the image she's cultivated as a champion of green energy.

Crockett reported owning a sizable stock portfolio in her last financial disclosure as a Texas state lawmaker covering the 2021 calendar year, with stakes in major pharmaceutical, fossil fuel, technology, automobile, and marijuana firms. But the potty-mouthed progressive, who said Wednesday she is strongly considering running for Senate in Texas, did not disclose owning any of those same stocks in her first congressional financial disclosure, which also covered her financial holdings during the 2021 calendar year.

Twenty-five undisclosed stocks in Crockett's portfolio include her ownership of shares in Amazon, Johnson & Johnson, AstraZeneca, General Motors, Uber, DuPont, ExxonMobil, American Airlines, AT&T, Aurora Cannabis, Ford, and "Corporate Cannabis," and "Stocks Worldwide," the records show. Crockett also reported in her last Texas financial disclosure owing debts of at least $110,000--none of which she divulged in her first congressional financial disclosure covering the same calendar year.

Candidates for Congress are required to file detailed financial disclosures. If victorious, they must file more disclosures when beginning their terms. False or incomplete financial reports can lead to civil and even criminal penalties.

Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of ethics watchdog Americans for Public Trust, told the Free Beacon that Crockett's undisclosed stock portfolio and debts raise major conflict of interest concerns, with several of the companies, in particular the firms in the pharmaceutical and marijuana industries, standing to benefit from actions she's taken in the Texas state legislature and Congress.

As a black woman of immigrant, I celebrate Jasmine Ratchet and I oppose any dirty-assed racist who wants to stop her from being Cannabis Queen.

Indiana announces it will redistrict for 2026.

They might go for two whole seats. The current makeup is 7 Republicans, two Democrats.

Republican Indiana Gov. Mike Braun announced Monday that he's calling lawmakers back to the Capitol for a special legislative session to redraw the state's congressional map -- a move expected to solidify GOP representation and potentially add up to two more Republican-held seats ahead of the 2026 midterms. Braun said in a statement posted to X that he's taking action "to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek to diminish their voice in Washington" and to ensure Indiana's congressional representation remains fair.

The governor's call follows President Donald Trump personally urging Indiana Republicans earlier this month to move quickly on redistricting before next year's elections. "I am calling a special legislative session to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek to diminish their voice in Washington and ensure their representation in Congress is fair," Braun wrote. "I am also asking the legislature to conform Indiana's tax code with new federal tax provisions to ensure stability and certainty for taxpayers and tax preparers for 2026 filings." Indiana's current U.S. House delegation consists of seven Republicans and two Democrats. While Braun didn't specify whether the goal is to flip both Democrat-held seats, GOP strategists view the session as a clear opportunity to grow the party's majority and counter Democrat-led gerrymanders in blue states.

Elon Musk has launched a direct (and superior) competitor to wikipedia, Grokipedia.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence venture xAI launched "Grokipedia" on Monday -- a new online encyclopedia built to challenge what he says is Wikipedia's entrenched political bias. The site, powered by xAI's technology and integrated with Grok, the same AI system behind Musk's X platform, aims to provide a politically balanced alternative to the long-dominant Wikipedia, which critics have accused for years of leftist censorship and selective editing.

Grokipedia, now live in its beta "v0.1" stage, opens with roughly 885,000 entries -- a fraction of Wikipedia's seven million English-language pages but a notable start for a platform that launched just hours ago. Some users experienced temporary errors upon the rollout, but by Monday evening the site was running smoothly. Musk framed the project as part of his broader effort to restore transparency and ideological diversity to the digital space, echoing his moves to overhaul Twitter into X.

The billionaire's feud with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has grown increasingly bitter in recent months. Musk has accused Wales of allowing Wikipedia to devolve into a propaganda outlet that protects liberal narratives while suppressing dissenting voices. "Defund Wikipedia until balance is restored," Musk wrote in a January post on X. Wales, for his part, has dismissed Grokipedia as an unserious experiment, telling the Washington Post last week that AI-generated content is prone to "massive factual errors" and lacks editorial oversight.

@MattWalshBlog

The number one thing that artificially inflates the price of groceries is the food stamp program. The federal government is subsidizing groceries for 40 million people which obviously drives up the cost. That's why the increase in the cost of groceries tracks exactly with the increase in the number of people on food stamps. So as a functional, contributing, working American, you're getting scammed twice. Once when the government steals from your paycheck and gives it to EBT recipients, and again when you go to the grocery store. You're paying twice so that morbidly obese people can buy Doritos on your dime. Infuriating.

Uh... may want to look at the last 45 years of Military Promotions. They EXPLICITLY were promoting Women and Minorities on a quota basis.

It was really bad in my Job, Electronics Tech. In the 80's and 90's, Women were less than 5% of my Job... Minorities, especially Black? probably 2 or 3%.

Yet at the upper enlisted Level, they were almost Auto Promoted to Chief Petty Officer. Saw it time and again where Women and Minorities were suddenly put in charge of Men who had much better records... but were White Men.

Happened to me a couple of times... Hell... EX wife who had never been to sea at all, was promoted to a Higher Rank than me, right after I got back from Desert Storm.

There are some secret escape "hatches" in there. In an emergency, there's a way to get POTUS out and deep underground quickly. There's a picture or two of the inside area of PEOC (the bunker supposedly under the East Wing), I think taken during 9/11. But you'll see no indication of that on any of the public floor plans. But there's ways to get down there.

Supposedly there's an escape entrance close to the Oval Office, and a tale that Reagan used that to smuggle Nixon into the Oval Office for a meeting about something. They didn't want any public notice or any possible reporters seeing Nixon anywhere near the White House.

Note the Treasury building is just across the street on the east side, across from the now demolished East Wing. There is supposedly quite an underground structure under there. There's some massive vaults, and the thing is pretty stout and deep. The PEOC bunker is connected to that. Hell, it would surprise me if "under the East Wing" is sort of a misdirection.

Another big of speculation is just how far and wide those secret tunnels and bunkers go. I've seen speculation about that, and some tales about secret digging, and how they would hide all the dirt for contruction of any really long underground tunnels.

Also, it wouldn't surprise me if this ballroom is going to provide cover for some much-needed upgrades to that secret undeground complex.

335 Because the lefties invented this strange new technical meaning of "racism" (i.e. that it "is something that only white people can do") they discovered that they no longer had a word that means "racism". So they had to invent a new one: "colorism"

Colorism means "to discriminate based on skin color", but only crazy lefties use the word.

That leaked out, and was analyzed to show massive voids under the North Lawn. Estimated at 5 stories. This was likely constructed during the Big Dig during 2010 - 2012.

Note no mainstream reporting about that at all, but Grok referenced it.

As Democrats Spiral Crazily Over the East Wing Renovation, Noted Chinese Spywhore Asset Eric Swallowell Declares That All Democrat Candidates Must Vow to Raze the (Finished) Ballroom to the Ground

The Democrats keep discovering new issues to obsess over and alienate normie voters with.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., was mocked for demanding that any 2028 Democratic presidential candidate pledge to demolish President Donald Trump's ballroom.

"Don't even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE," Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday.

Swalwell followed up with another post to X that read, "Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom. But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand."

The Democratic lawmaker was called out by conservatives and lawmakers, including Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who wrote, "these people are deranged."

"I thought you guys were against demolishing anything at the White House," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, wrote.

...

The ballroom's construction set off a firestorm of criticism among Democrats, as well as liberal media commentators.

"Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom," Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren posted to X.

But conservatives took aim at Swalwell's demands.

"Yes, Democrats should run on Trump's ballroom," The Washington Free Beacon's Chuck Ross said.

Conservative commentator AG Hamilton called out Swalwell for "promising to spend taxpayer time and money" to destroy the ballroom.

He quipped that it was "certainly one way to signal priorities for Democrats."


"The Vince Show" host Vince Coglianese pointed to the Democrats' initial criticism of the demolition at the White House.

"I was reliably told that demolishing side buildings = 'destroying the White House,'" he wrote. "Now it's part of the platform!"


Glenn Reynolds notes that even though the Democrats' florid insanity is driving down their poll numbers to the basement, they just can't stop.

Insane people cannot just stop being insane. Obsessives gonna obsess, neurotics gonna neuro.

President Donald Trump has done it again -- sent the left and the media (but I repeat myself) down a rabbit hole of absurdity.

"It's like the media is a cat and Trump has the world's biggest laser pointer," Margo Cleveland posted on X, "with it currently aimed at the new ballroom."

That's right: While Trump tours Asia, dancing, making trade deals and apparently having a blast, he's got his opponents back in the Swamp obsessing over . . . a home renovation project.

Using donated funds, not taxpayer money, Trump is rebuilding the White House's shabby East Wing -- originally added to cover up construction of a bomb shelter during World War II -- to create a large and modern space that meets the needs of today's presidency.

Naturally, this has the usual gang of idiots fuming.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) on Saturday lectured his fellow Democrats not to even imagine running for the presidential nomination unless they "pledge to take a wrecking ball" to Trump's renovation.


(Cleveland commented: "The funniest thing about this is not that Swalwell posted it, but that he thought it was so brilliant that he reposted it.")

Talk show host Joe Walsh, who once cosplayed as a Republican, took up Swalwell's demand: "I'll say it every day for the next 3yrs," he wrote, "any Democrat running for president in 2028 MUST pledge to tear down Trump's ballroom. It matters."

Does it? Does it really?

It's hilarious to see such reactions from Democrats like these, along with Joe Scarbrough, Stephanie Ruhle and other Very Serious People, to a project that enriches our national infrastructure and won't cost taxpayers a dime.

Those who a couple of years ago were toppling monuments to America's founders and denouncing America itself as a slave state are now posing as defenders of our deep history and heritage.

Because nothing says "deep history and heritage" like a structure built in 1942 to hide a bomb shelter.

Trump's new White House annex will contain a lot more space, including a huge ballroom with a drone-proof metal roof and other security enhancements.

Up to now, big state dinners have been held in tents on the White House lawn, with portable space heaters, awkward temporary restrooms -- and zero overhead protection against security threats like drones, which are becoming a bigger and bigger danger.

The new building will make formal receptions and other big events safer and more comfortable.

...

But most of the leftists have to pretend.

If Trump is for it, a large segment of this country just has to be against it, and in the most overwrought, over-moralizing way.

They can't help themselves.

Thus when Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promoted a Harvard study suggesting a link between consuming Tylenol in pregnancy and autism in children, pregnant Democratic women started posting TikTok videos of themselves gobbling the tablets: That'll show Trump!

Some reportedly wound up in the emergency room, but resisting Trump was more important.

Swalwell followed up with another post to X that read, "Or, as @RubenGallego proposes, rename it the Barack Obama Ballroom. But a Trump monument to corruption will not stand."

It's been in the plans from early on. Apparently both wings, and what they would contain, were. Teddy was supposed to build the east wing, but the ballroom sounded too removed from blue collar America for him. So that waited for FDR to build.

Apparently, Bill Clinton suggested to W that he should finally build the bigger ball room.

Because when Martin Luther King Jr. took his own life (hap-tip to Saturday Night Live), black "leadership" completely disavowed any notion of "judge not by the color of one's skin but by the quality of their character" and INSTEAD pivoted to the equivalent of "Whites are inherently evil and flawed and ya'll owe us incompetent Blacks for the rest of all eternity and there can never be any racial healing or reconciliation".

And it worked...for their "leadership"...and not for anyone else but the black "leadership". The rest of us have been dealt a really, really crappy hand by them.

Really smart play, that.

Most of the time, people on food stamps cluster together geographically. It isn't nefarious, it's just a consequence of the fact that poor people are poor, and live where poor people live. Poor neighborhoods will also have a lot of food stamp recipients.

So when she goes to "get whitey" over it, given the probability of geography and demographics, she means, "mug my equally-poor white neighbors."

These people can't even manage first-order thinking.

Propose a New-New Green New Deal that will drastically reduce US CO2 emissions, but, swearsies, will not raise gas and electricity prices more than 5 percent per year (a lie), and not force EVs on everyone thru crazy CAFE numbers? Propose a new POTUS-appointed bi-partisan board of experts decide nation-wide rules for fake men in women's K-12 and college girl's sports, locker rooms, and rest rooms?

198 Michael Shellenberger (sp?) made a good point about this on Jesse Watters a few days ago, on what's really behind the freakout over the ballroom. They hate anything Trump does, of course, but he thinks it's a subconscious thing that goes deeper.

The new ballroom represents a change to a new era. The last major WH change was at the end of WWII. The current layout thus defines the post-War order. And that order is coming to an end. Things have changed, and that old order is over. Trump represents a "fundamental transformation" into the new order, the "fourth republic" as he dubbed it (think 4th Turning, if you will).

210 In New Jersey, early voting is underway (I voted today), and the GOP candidate just sent out this email.

From polling to early voting returns, endorsements & rallies - everything shows that momentum is building and the energy is on our side. 



Here are the facts: Mikie Sherrill is a disaster, and her campaign is falling apart. Democrats’ traditional early vote advantage has collapsed across the state. In 2021, Phil Murphy led early in-person voting by 12 points. Today, that edge is down to just 3.3%. Vote-by-mail margins are shrinking too — from a 47.8% Democrat edge in 2021 to 42% today.

And that’s just the start.

Republicans have gained ground in every single county in New Jersey — improving by 17 points in Passaic, 7 in Hudson, 6 in Essex, 13 in Union, and even 4 in Camden. Meanwhile, turnout is surging in Republican strongholds like Ocean and Monmouth, up 15 points from this time four years ago.

LOL! I have to say that the MS Walmart people we encountered in February were kind and polite. And there were a lot of them on Valentine's Day evening. We stopped for groceries en route to the farm, and flowers for my mother. We'd just left NOLA 2hrs away.

The ONLY weirdo was a white redneck guy who flirted with me carrying the flowers and trying to find my family. Walking with me, he was naming random flowers they were not and how good they smelled (a hydrangea bush is not fragrant). I was ignoring him and my husband walked up to me and he fled. I reckon he thought I was ripe for a Valentine's romance. Our son laughed that more guys (probably mentally ill) hit on me than his wife. I would prefer to be left alone.

Posted by: Stateless - VERY GRATEFUL, LOVED, APPRECIATED AND HAPPY! -- - New Life Creation - 18.4% at October 28, 2025 05:40 PM (Sco7b)

From a site called American Battlefields

With the war against Napoleon winding down, the British government determined to send four brigades from Europe to deal with the crisis in North America. One of these was to go to the east coast of the United States and “retaliate upon the Americans for the outrages which they had committed,” including the burning of the Canadian city of York (present-day Toronto). Ross was selected to command this expeditionary force and sailed to Bermuda in the summer of 1814. From there, Ross and his command of 4,500 infantry and marines embarked for the United States, landing on August 19, 1814.

Posted by: Posted by: Stateless - VERY GRATEFUL, BLESSED, LOVED AND HAPPY! -- - New Life Creation - 18.1% at October 28, 2025 05:55 PM (Sco7b)

263 After landing in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., Ross led a successful attack on U.S. forces at Bladensburg, easily brushing aside American militiamen and clearing the way for the British to enter the U.S. Capitol. Following orders from Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane and Rear Admiral George Cockburn, Ross ordered burning of the White House, Capitol building, and the Library of Congress. However, contrary to orders, Ross demanded that private property be respected, confining his damage to the public buildings of the U.S. Government and the bridge over the Potomac River. With the destruction complete, Ross re-embarked on August 30, making his way toward Baltimore.

"Government cheese" used to be a thing. Making most subsidies in-kind and in-person would be a major improvement. Make it an actual, physical, limited process. Such a scheme would likely be more expensive per-unit than food stamps (after all, the grocery chains already have logistics and processing), but would cut down fraud so much - and make long-term use of such programs fairly unappetizing - that there would probably be a net savings.

Not that savings are the point.

This will continue until fed gov is open.

If you can get a shot off early, they scatter. But if you're a seasoned citizen with a slow draw time, they'll surround you and clock you in the face before you get a chance to draw.

Standard informal urban combat tactics.

If it spreads to the interfaces with the less-broken parts of town, one of two things happens:
1. The city falls
2. The places on the other side of the interface fight back the same way.

Spotters, pre-planned intersections for the strike. Cover fire from a truck with higher ground, mopping up from the flanks - and all of it executed by people with very good geographical knowledge (they live there) and who are defending their home territory.

That latter is called "civil war" and it is increasingly likely as these roving teams continue. But they seem to forget that the victims can build a technical and work out hand and radio signals. It gets very nasty very fast.

363 I was shocked that 12%of the population uses SNAP, with over 20% using it in New Mexico

Didnt New Mexico basically ban guns by calling it a pandemic?

Let's see how that goes
Posted by: The Unvaxed and Unmasked

I live in New Mexico. The tiny tyrant aka the governor is a communist. First try at getting rid of guns was she literally just banned them from the state using the pretext of a healthcare pandemic. That lasted about 15 minutes before the courts shut her down. So she turned right around and banned guns on all property owned by the State of New Mexico. This being New Mexico exactly zero criminals paid attention to her and have continued to shoot each other left and right non-stop. She eventually just let that go on the down low. She's is term limited. What's coming is worse: The former Biden Secretary of the Interior or as I call her Chief Dreamcatcher.

New Mexico is an extremely poor state. After living here for a number of years now I lay this at the feet of the Democrats who manage everything in this state so the politicians can stay in power and loot the place. If you look at all the states around New Mexico, they're booming. New Mexico is a economic crater.

House Oversight Committee Declares Biden's "Autopen Presidency" "Null and Void," Recommends Prosecutions for Those Who Wielded the Presidential Autopen with No Constititional Authority to Do So

House panel declares Biden's Autopen Presidency "null and void," concluding that aides with zero Constitutional authority signed pardons and executive orders without Biden's knowledge, all to preserve "the illusion of presidential authority."

In a 91-page report released Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee accused Joe Biden's inner circle of executing and concealing presidential actions without his knowledge, declaring that any orders signed through the autopen were "null and void." The Republican-led panel, chaired by Rep. James Comer (R-KY), said it uncovered evidence that senior aides used the mechanical signature device to authorize pardons, commutations, and executive directives while Biden's mental and physical decline worsened -- all to preserve "the illusion of presidential authority."

"The Biden Autopen Presidency will go down as one of the biggest political scandals in U.S. history," the report stated. "As Americans saw President Biden's decline with their own eyes, his inner circle sought to deceive the public, cover up his condition, and took unauthorized executive actions that are now invalid." The committee urged the Justice Department to launch a full criminal investigation into what it called a "cover-up of historic proportions," naming several aides who invoked the Fifth Amendment when questioned about their roles. It also demanded the D.C. Board of Medicine investigate Biden's physician for allegedly hiding his true medical state.

According to the report, internal emails and documentation revealed a "haphazard process" surrounding clemency and other executive actions, with no reliable record confirming Biden's personal approval. Comer said the findings raise profound constitutional concerns. "If unelected aides were using the autopen to execute presidential powers without Joe Biden's knowledge or consent, that is an assault on the Constitution itself," he said.

Prosecute them. You say there's no specific law against this? As a black and queer woman of LGBTQ+ color, I give you the FBI.

Well not the FBI. I was doing a Hans Gruber there. (Not black queer or female, but an immigrant.)

The left has already given us the law to prosecute under. The J6 prosecutors prosecuted hundreds of people under the vague and novel premise that they were attempting a criminal "fraud against the United States of America." They claimed that anyone who did anything they didn't like were perpetrating a "fraud" on the "people of the United States.

Biden's aides clearly, really did perpetrate a fraud on the people of the United States. So let us take what I (as a black queer woman of immigrant) will call the "J6 Precedent" and imprison them all.

No, seriously; my call is to consider the pardons null (and void, to use William the Bastard's tongue)... but not to move to prosecute.
Yet. If any beneficiary of a "Biden" autopardon puts a foot wrong, arrest him in the Federal system. Don't offer bail. Hold them in a dungeon until the trial. Then add the original sentence on to the new one. It's not double-jeopardy if the original sentence still holds or the original crime was gay-pardoned.

Congress needs to define this shit by law. Me, I'd say all exercises of Article II power by the president require his actual physical signature, and no autopens or other proxies allowed.

Now, they might want to allow for some sort of "electronic signature" under emergency circumstances (like nuclear attack, or other dire situations) and define some procedure for that. LIke the nuclear codes, where POTUS has to enter codes to "sign".

The Democrat Party has become an anachronism to a plurality of Americans, a throwback to bygone days of yore before democratic systems were established and anarchy reigned. Consequently, nobody wants them in power.

Note it was Barky who first used the autopen to sign legislation. The Shrub considered it after 9/11 and had the legal counsel look into. They concluded it was kinda sorta probably okay, but they never did it. It was Barky who first did it.

Before that, no president had ever used the autopen for official acts of presidential power.

The autopen was just used for shit like, oh the President sending a letter commending Gladys Kravitz on her years of service on the Ladies Auxiliary and other non-official shit like that, like Christmas cards and all that.

So, my dad was not treated for his rampant prostate cancer that had been in remission for a good 25 years before the clot shot turned it loose again. The reason the hospital gave was that he was old and non-compos-mentis, since he couldn't remember who the president was and didn't know what year it was. Of course, that couldn't possibly be because he was bleeding from the cancer invading his bladder, could it?

Meanwhile this waste of air Biden gets gold-plated cancer treatment even though his brain has been Swiss cheese for a decade or more.

I really can't loathe the Bidens any more than I already do. I'm not allowed to wish bad things happen to him upon pain of mortal sin, but I really wish he would just go the fuck away.

Somebody mentioned Woodrow Wilson. This has been a problem with us for a while. The 25th Amendment is wholly unable to handle a situation like this where POTUS is la-dee-dah, and his aides, including the VP, go along with a Weekend at Bernie's conspiracy.

Something needs to be done about that. I don't know what. I can see anything being used by partisan Democrats to constantly accuse Republican presidents of being incapacitated and demanding tests and all that.

But some mechanism needs to be there for people to go to jail right quick if they cover up POTUS being brain dead.

It is a subversion of the way the system is supposed to work. In the two US examples, the people selected one person, but someone else was making the decisions- just like here.

It seems to be one of those things that separates me from a progressive. They seem to love the idea of MS Wilson, I think it's horrifying.

102 Autopen is but a facsimile of a real signature. Might as well be a rubberstamp or a jpeg printed with the rest of the document.

Autopen use is primarily ceremonial - 100th birthday, holiday cards, military retirement, etc. for signing bills into law or pardons?! It's be easier to get El Presidente to sign the real deal than multiple MFRs authorizing some clerk to use your rubberstamp.

Any El Presidente sig that is not by his hand and wet ink is presumably falsied. Like anybody else's sig. The only question is who forged it?

People who used it w/o authorization are most certainly committing fraud.

No one is "black". There are different shades of brown relative to skin color. This is dependent upon the amount of melanin within the dermal layers. Secondly, the word "queer" means "strange", or "odd". This could be true, but a baseline of the opposite must first be set down. Karine Jean-Pierre may, indeed, be "queer" depending upon what the social norms consider normal. Finally, Karine Jean-Pierre is a US citizen. Therefore, she is not an immigrant. An "immigrant" is defined as a person who moves to a new country with the intention of settling there permanently. Karine Jean-Pierre as a US citizen is not, to my knowledge, currently looking to move to a new country permanently. In the past, she was, indeed, and immigrant. Now she is a citizen. This does not exclude her from becoming an immigrant once again, and we encourage her to do so.

I think the courts will probably decide that it's up to the President to delegate that.

The President is the "Chief Prosecutor" (prosecution *is* an executive function), but he delegates that to the DoJ. He's the "Chief Cop", but he delegates that to the FIB as well.

All executive authority is *vested* in the President. The ACA assigns the decisions on healthcare to the "Secretary of Health and Human Services", but I doubt that such a secretary could argue in court that that is their discretion alone.

I think they are going to allow a lot of leeway on this.

134 All executive authority is *vested* in the President. The ACA assigns the decisions on healthcare to the "Secretary of Health and Human Services", but I doubt that such a secretary could argue in court that that is their discretion alone.

I think they are going to allow a lot of leeway on this.

but the Pardon power is the President's, and President's alone.... just like the Prezzy is not supposed to be able to delegate the signing of laws.

And it would seem that to even use the Autopen on things like Pardons, you would need express permission delegated to you, in writing, to use the autopen to do so...

154 OT but applies to last thread - from Zerohedge...

"States Receiving the Most Funding

SNAP funding totaled more than $7.8 billion in May 2025, the last month for which data is available.

Nearly half of all SNAP funds went to 7 large-population states in the month of May.

California drew the largest share at more than $1 billion in federal funding—about 13 percent of the total.

New York received $647 million, and Texas received $614 million. The next highest amounts went to Florida, $536 million; Illinois, $368 million; Pennsylvania, $368 million; and Ohio, $356 million.

Those states together received 49 percent of the food assistance benefit for May 2025, and they served about 49 percent of those receiving benefits.

Total spending for SNAP reached $99.8 billion in fiscal year 2024."

What he''s most famous for back when he was an SF Supervisor was passing the law making public nudity completely legal, resulting in out-and-out flamboyant perverts walking around naked with cock rings on the streets of SF, intentionally flapping their dicks in the faces of passing children, even children escorted by parents.

The city was OK with that, but even the hipsters had to protest when the naked dudes started going to restaurants and sitting with their disgusting ass-cracks on restaurant seats, leaving AIDS-infected skid marks everywhere. So the law was, after a while, quietly abandoned.

But that just goes to show you how unhinged Scott Weiner really is.

160 Continued from Zerohedge
"On average, about 12 percent of Americans receive SNAP benefits. In some states, that percentage is much higher. These states stand to lose fewer federal dollars, but the impact could be greater, affecting a relatively larger share of their population.

Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have higher-than-average participation in SNAP.

Of those, New Mexico has the highest rate, with 21 percent of its 2.1 million people receiving food assistance. The District of Columbia is next with 20 percent of its 700,000 residents participating in SNAP. Oregon is next with 18 percent participation, followed by Louisiana and Oklahoma at 17 percent each.

About 15 percent of the population receives SNAP benefits in West Virginia, Nevada, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, and Michigan."

171 These guys really hate the Constitution. A presidential pardon cannot be undone. They're just making useless noise to rile up and distract their base.

Did Trump hand sign pardons for 1500 J6 terrorists? And even the EOs he signs are unprecedented. Every other president signing an order explained it to the press, because it's THEIR order. They wrote it. Trump is the only to have OTHERS explain the orders to him, because they're not his.

"the report does not point to a specific incident in which the investigators could demonstrate the autopen was used without Biden’s authorization." So they're lying. That committee should be brought up on charges, but so should the insurgent doj they report to.

It's not about autopen. It's about challenging the pardon process. When a legit investigation into Trump begins, republicans will compare it with the shit-show they're performing now. "See, the democrats are doing Benny Hill, too!"

They're claiming that Biden's cognitive decline and a lack of a decision making paper trail makes these commutations and pardons null...Not the autopen itself.

Which is FUCKING RICH coming from THIS administration

But that is as far as it will go, if even that far. It can go no further. The Biden Administration represents what is in fact a fully-developed and catastrophic legitimacy crisis. He wasn't there. His politburo was running things while pretending that the boss was calling the shots.

If it goes any further than scapegoating a phony mastermind, it will force an acknowledgment of the illegitimacy of that entire period, and force a serious legal consideration of what to do about the fact that every single act and law was flatly illegal and *must* be repealed.

A crisis of that magnitude will *not* be risked. For any reason. The most we will get is a scapegoat, and probably not even that. The stakes are simply too high.

No question, he is a doofus. Also, he's lying.

But it doesn't matter, and it shouldn't matter: Since he says he approved the pardons, they are valid. All future Presidents, including our present favorite, will depend on this to be true.

Obviously, Presidents will be more careful using autopen, and probably will document the approvals (which Biden did not always do), but this is a tempest in a teacup.

I got Grok going on the legal precedents here. This is a problem with the system. Court would probably only get involved if something could be proven. Hard proof that someone usurped presidential authority. Essentially forged the president's signature.

If that could be proven, the Supreme Court would be forced to act (but "standing" might be a tricky way to dodge in some case). If it was signing a bill or EO, then it would likely be voided "ab initio"

Now for a pardon, Grok thinks the courts would allow it to stand, as there is no judicial review of pardons. Even if it fraud could be proven, the pardon would likely stand.

As long as Calif sends every registered voter a ballot by mail? There is no such thing as a valid election IMO.

They don't even check signatures... and with both motor voter AND signing people up outside of WalMart (which they do)... there is no way to validate if someone is a citizen or not.

In fact, with Motor Voter they now KNOWINGLY give illegals a Drivers License, THEN also ask them if they want to register to vote.

I work at home. Breaking into my house is a stupid and very dangerous idea.

Still, I'm a nice enough guy. If I catch somebody stealing my TV, I'll give him a chance to desist peaceably and surrender.

Nation's Largest Federal Worker Union Calls for an End to the Shutdown;
The Alleged Friends of Union Voters Say "F*** You"

People have now missed a paycheck, and they will continue missing paychecks for as long as it takes to get Chuck Schumer over 45% approval.

The nation's largest union of federal workers is calling on Congress to pass a short-term funding bill and immediately end the government shutdown as it heads into a fifth workweek.

In a strong condemnation of both parties on Monday, the American Federation of Government Employees argued the shutdown is an "avoidable crisis" harming American families and workers across the nation.

"Both political parties have made their point, and still there is no clear end in sight," Everett Kelley, president of the AFGE, wrote. "It's time to pass a clean continuing resolution and end this shutdown today. No half measures, and no gamesmanship."

The AFGE represents more than 800,000 federal and Washington government workers and has filed several lawsuits against the Trump administration, including over mass layoffs.

Kelley on Monday emphasized that federal workers will be unpaid and face layoffs.

"When the folks who serve this country are standing in line for food banks after missing a second paycheck because of this shutdown, they aren't looking for partisan spin," he said. "They're looking for the wages they earned. The fact that they're being cheated out of it is a national disgrace."

...

The Senate last week rejected a Republican-led effort to pay active-duty members of the military and essential federal workers who have remained on the job during the shutdown. Democrats have backed a proposal that would pay all federal workers and bar the Trump administration from further firings workers during the shutdown.


Democrats "scoffed" at the union's demand.


A call from the largest federal workers union in the country for Democrats to pass a GOP bill reopening the government on Monday was met with uncharacteristic yawns from Washington, D.C.-area Democrats.

Why it matters: Such a statement from a powerful union would, in normal times, have a profound impact on Democrats. These are not normal times.

Democrats are dug in, emboldened by rebounding support from their voters and determined to walk away from the shutdown with something to show for their intransigence.

Democratic lawmakers tell Axios they feel they have the upper hand and that Republicans are poised to come to the negotiating table -- though Republicans say essentially the exact opposite.

...

Kelley said the Democrats should do what they have sworn not to: Pass the GOP's "clean" stopgap government funding bill on the expectation of future negotiations on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies.

What we're hearing: "I have a lot of AFGE members in my district and they are pissed ... at the statement," said one D.C.-area House Democrat, speaking on the condition of anonymity to avoid open conflict with one of the largest unions in their district.

...

A second D.C.-area lawmaker said they are "not sure there is much of a difference" after the statement and that the potential cut off of nutrition assistance benefits is "is the bigger issue to watch."

Oh, right: Poor people's SNAP benefits are about to end and they're not taking it well.

Grok
@grok

Yes, it's real--the USDA has confirmed that due to the government shutdown, SNAP benefits (via EBT) won't be issued starting November 1, halting about $8 billion in monthly aid for over 40 million recipients. This stems from failed funding negotiations, impacting low-income families, including many non-citizens who qualify. Work requirements and eligibility tweaks under recent laws like the One Big Beautiful Bill will further limit access for able-bodied adults without dependents. Expect disruptions unless Congress acts fast.

There are a lot of TikToks by, let us say, Subsidized Citizens who are threatening violence if their EBT cards stop filling up with working people's money. One threatened "grocery-napping," which means carjacking you when you've filled the car with groceries.

Speaking as a lesbian immigrant: I approve.

If you go to Portland and some Salem stores on certain days like when EBT cards (Called the Oregon Trail* card here) you can see stumblers and related going in and coming out with loaded grocery baskets, which they line up to the curb where a number of SUVs are parked, and some sort of transaction occurs, and the purchase walks away with something, and the groceries are stowed in the back of the SUV.
No idea if it is traded for drugs or money, and no idea if this is a novel way to stock a smaller store, or feed Antifa troops, but there you are.

This business model may go away for a bit.

But he had served in the navy, and paid taxes dutifully before then as a hardworking American. And now he has a good job again. It was a crucial safety net for a temporary need, not a comfy hammock to lay in forever.

He had about $1200 left on his SNAP card at the end, and decided he didn't want any to use it. He could have, but felt it wasn't necessary. He might be the only magical unicorn I know of who didn't use every penny of his SNAP.

The South Americans think the USA has been screwing up their commie dreams by running revolutions for decades, so taking advantage of el norte is only fair.

The other minorities in the USA think whitey stole everything and they built the country.

A couple of years ago a truck turned over on the highway in the next state over. Cops got called out and found thousands of EBT cards in the truck.

No follow up on how that happened of course.

And, honestly, it isn't unusual in my AO to see someone try one EBT card, find out, unexpectectly, it is empty and then pull out another one.

Now, I guess this could be possible legally if you had two unmarried people getting SNAP living together and sharing food but...all the time?!?

My mom had an EBT card. She would only get so much a month, but feared if she didn't spend it every month, she would get a reduction. She was old and couldn't work anymore, but hated the fact she was on government assistance.

She would have us pick things out we wanted when taking her shopping. We usually got steaks and other meats.

I don't know how this is possible. When benefits were actually paper coupons this was easily accomplished, the person who had the food stamps would just stand outside the store and ppl would buy his stamps for half price.

but now it is a card. I guess they are allowing access to their card to purchase food online.

but even then if you have too many food purchases out of state your card gets flagged

IIRC at 30 days +1 those employees furloughed, not RIF'd (temporarily out of work) join the ranks of the RIF'd. So there will be a lot of Feds without paychecks at that point.

WHat I read is that a family of 4 can get about $1000 a month. slightly more in some places, but not much.

Illegals were getting $10,000 lump sum in some cities just for gracing us with their crimes. There are other scams, like housing, etc. but I think for most $1k is tops for EBT.

WHY does the GOP not shout in CAPS all over X and networks that part of the shut down bill includes free healthcare and benefits for ILLEGALS? WHY????Can any of you with power give them a nudge for me?

I think this might clue the ignorant into the reason the meanies have shut the government down. But I could be wrong as it is cold and I don't want to do work in the yard, being not entitled, nor having fake nails.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard:

Not just the Russians — also Barack Obama. In his original ICA report, the intelligence community confirmed that Hillary Clinton was suffering from “intensified psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger and aggression,” and was placed on a daily regimen of “heavy tranquilizers.”

In other words, not only did Barack Obama withhold a “national security threat” from the American people, but he also orchestrated a treasonous conspiracy to overthrow the United States government — for the very “national security threat” that both Russia and Obama had concealed from the public.

Think about it — a psychopath in the White House on heavy tranquilizers. Tell me, exactly how the f**k would that have turned out? Blackmail? Sabotage? Espionage? World War III?

I'm loving that meme and I hope it spreads everywhere. I read that New Yorker interview with Latrine John-Pissoir and it's hilarious. A liberal journalist comes face to face with St. Karine of the Podium and nearly loses his mind with frustration at her circular logic, deflection, denial -- all the things real journalists had to suffer with during her four years in the White House. And virtually every response she gave included her creds as an LGBTQ Black woman. I'm glad, and a *bit* surprised, that the New Yorker published it. Even New Yorker readers will roll their eyes.

206 How many generations of welfare since LBJ started this mess? It was shown in magnification during Katrina in 2005, so I reckon six generations? I don't do math well.

The SNAP fraud involved is huge, like in Medicaid. Now their pants are pulled down and there are screaming throughout the land.

With SNAP benefits junk food is bought to add to obesity, as we all know. Unsure if you can buy booze as I am not on SNAP and have never had benefits except through marriage. Note: if my husband ever read I compared him to SNAP and welfare he'd take away my laptop.

Since illegals are now on the welfare train...illegally...legal people should be screaming. Vs "The Man" or "The White Man." Nay, gurl, it is the brown people crossing our borders illegally. The other strain of brown people who want to take away your short ribs and baconand put you in a burka. Those are the people you should be yelling about, beetch.

Posted by: 18-1 at October 28, 2025 03:32 PM (sKqQm)

Yes, it should - return us to the 50s and 60s. Churches give out baskets weekly to the poor. No reason government warehouses couldn't do the same. And no lunchmeat or anything not shelf stable.

You come get a basket of food.

Basket should be:
Canned chicken and tuna
Dried or Canned Beans of multiple types
Rice
Peanut Butter
Cheerios
Canned Veg
Bag of Apples, Oranges, Onions, and Potatoes (which are all shelf-stable a LONG time)

Govt center could have a fridge to give out gallons of milk to those with kids under 18 along with the box if you wanted to give dairy. And a loaf of bread per box if desired.

Also from their website:

"Over a decade ago, Stop LAPD Spying developed a copwatch practice that we call Watch the Watchers. Copwatch refers to the practice of community members teaming up to observe and document police abuses, especially arrests and other violence."

That video on X that some moron linked upthread where the guy is talking about people selling their EBT bennies has illuminating comments. The corruption is so common and widespread that essentially, no one responds. There is NO RESPONSE to the abuse. That, too, should may be start happening at the street level, although of course high-level reform is sorely needed. It's the mom and pop corner stores that need to be surveilled.

She was a nanny for some couple, who ended up murdering the grandfather of the child with a screwdriver. She had stripped completely naked, running around covered in blood with the screwdriver.

And then, she refused to appear on that court TV fee for whatever magistrate hearing, lying in the floor of her cell naked.

She looks a big like Sydney Sweeney.

The Army would give a soldier an Article 15 for a sunburn when severe enough. Because, he is now non-deployable. He can’t wear his uniform, he can’t do his job. They don’t authorize “sick days” unless authorized by a doctor.

Yeah, I saw that. What's wrong with tuna fish, too?

These jackasses! I was a po' white newlywed married to a college guy until he graduated. Yeah, I was making a whopping $11/hr at the time as a RN and the "breadwinner."

We had a '50's type fridge with no freezer except for metal ice trays you got your tongue stuck on. Shopped every week with a list and coupons. Yet we somehow survived our poor years. I wore sweaters from college pregnant with our first son two years later. We were poor for at least 5yrs, we were in love, we were happy. We are now not poor, still in love, and happy.

Baby showers bought the crib and changing table (my parents). Clothes for the baby. They did not starve and we did not even think of it, we had a budget for food for the babies. I doubt we'd have qualified for anything but never checked.

We came from upper middle class parents and never asked for a dime from them after marriage. I guess I should say "axed" for a dime.

So my heart does not bleed for these dikheads.

Let's get higher caliber people in congress and give them an incentive to do what is right. Pay $500,000 per year for a congressman and give them a $500,000 bonus if they complete their 13 appropriations bills on time and in budget. Pay senators $750,000 a year along with a $750,000 bonus for the same thing. Pay the VP $2 million and the president $4 million. Give each member between 20 and 100 hours per year of NetJets time. Add in a $5,000 per month housing subsidy for congress and $10,000 for the senate. Make it appealing and financially viable to become an elected official. Maybe, just maybe, you'll see a change.

Ah, Ben. Sorry. That was hard. I never experienced poverty til I was a college girl then married to a college guy. I had to learn budgets then with him teaching me. I once blew through a $500 bank note that Delta did not cash when I returned from my summer in MS. Then Delta let me know that they did cash my airline ticket check and I was in some hot water. My bf/now husband worked something out and I paid it back.

I tried to find you yesterday on this maze to tell you that I misread your comment about nurse. I read it as "who started welfare" vs who raised two boys without a father. I apologized with an extra helping of apparent dyslexia.

One of our sons does not know how to budget and frustrates his father (and me). He is constantly in debt and living above his means.

We learned the hard way with our first house how to accrue debt and never did again. Lessons learned. One of our sons is a slow learner of debt.

358 $4000 is feasible IF they are getting them in a bunch of different names. Years ago there was a Jamaican immigrant in a noteworthy car accident in Boston. After they caught her fleeing the scene, they found EBT cards in 26 different names in her possession. She even bragged about it to the cops - she was proud of how she’d taken advantage of this entitlement.

The fraud in our "entitlement" programs (and that word grates me to the bone...you aren't entitled to anything somebody else has to pay for). I'm angered beyond words at what we've all seen for years, and the outright abuse of the taxpayers by the hands of lazy, good for nothing layabouts. I know there are cases where welfare is needed. For true (and limited) reasons, I have no problem with it. But it is a colossal monster of fraud.

362 We moved to the boonies from the city as I was starting 5th grade. I'd never seen poverty before.

There was a white family who had 18 kids, one each year apparently for the poor mother. Two girls were in my class, as one kept back as not super bright but kind. They were barefoot, I do remember that.

At lunch I had my red plaid lunch box and matching thermos. I ate every day: tomato soup and cheese sandwich with an apple and cookie.

These girls had greasy paper bags with mayo sandwiches on white bread. They were almost drooling at my lunch and I'd give them a half sandwich and apple (I never remember sharing my soup or cookie). I felt really bad for them as much as a 9yr old girl can. Later, in looking at the yearbook, you saw one of their siblings in each class through 12th grade.

I am sure my seamstress grandmother saved my parents some $ as she sewed me seasonal wardrobes. I'd help her pick out the fabric and to this day remember how to judge if fabric is good or not. My cousins got my hand-me-downs. She learned to sew and cook at a French convent on the MS/LA border. Wonderful woman and grandmother. As she lay dying I told her though tears that I hoped I'd be just as good.

California State Senator Scott Wiener Is Obsessed With Reducing or Eliminating Penalties for Having Sex With Children. Even the New York Times Magazine Now Notices That Police Can't Act Against the Child Traffickers Weiner Worked So Hard to Immunize.

John Sexton has great background for Wiener's constant advocacy for reduced penalties for sex crimes, including statutory rape of a minor and sex trafficking.

Although Weiner is always the one writing, proposing, and fighting for these laws, the diseased groomer California legislature voted to make them law.

And Gavin Newsom signed them into law.

Wiener claims he's doing this, you see, just to protect the all-precious trans community. He claims that trans people are arrested on the street not for prostitution, but just for looking a certain kind of way.

Via Sexton's article: Abigail Shrier writing for City Journal:

Why would anyone propose such a law? Why would the California State Legislature pass it? I asked the bill's author, San Francisco--based state senator Scott Wiener. The answer he gave is the one that he supplies for so many of the bills he authors: it was necessary to advance the rights of LGBTQ people. "If you are standing on the sidewalk with high heels, and you wear your hair a certain way, and you wear tight clothing, an officer can say, 'I think you're loitering with the intent to commit prostitution' and arrest you," Wiener said. "That is not how we should be doing things in the United States of America--arresting people for how they look," he continued. "And when you do that, not surprisingly, it's only certain kinds of people who actually get arrested: it's trans women. It's black women. . . . It's an inherently profiling law," he said. "Randomly arresting a bunch of black trans women for how they look is not protecting potential victims of human trafficking."

But were the police indeed "randomly arresting a bunch of black trans women"? The anti-trafficking advocates I spoke with dispute this. For starters, Wilson, Powell, and Russell (all of whom are African-American) say that biological women and girls--not transgender individuals--constitute the vast majority of those trafficked. Nearly every report on human trafficking by global human rights organizations confirms this observation.

And why does Scott Wiener demand that we reduce penalties for paying underaged children to give adult men blowjobs?

Not for any reasons of personal interest, no, don't be silly. Wiener wants to abolish the crime of statutory rape of a minor because... well, gee, you wouldn't send an 18 year old to jail for paying $20 to a 17 year old for a blowjob, would you?

An 18 year old paying a 17 year old $20 for a blowjob is the prototypical situation where statutory rape charges are brought, right? So best to scrap the law entirely.

scottwienerpedophileadvocate.jpg

Now that Wiener's groomer laws are in effect, cops say they can't arrest the pimps and human traffickers parading them out on the street. Wiener's Groomer Laws establish that it's no crime to pay a child for sex.

So admits the left-wing masturbatory aid The New York Times Magazine.

Ana paced on the sidewalk at 68th and Figueroa, her front teeth missing and an ostomy bag taped down under her hot pink lingerie.

An ostomy bag collects urine and feces from the body. I don't know why "she" is wearing it. Maybe so as not to need the bathroom due to streetwalking, maybe because of... surgical improvements.

We'll see.


She surveyed the intersection in South Central Los Angeles, where preteens were hobbling in stilettos and G-strings. It was a Tuesday night this January, and Ana knew that most of the girls longed for a coat or gloves -- anything to keep them warm -- but covering up was not an option. Their eyes were cast down, but their hands waved mechanically at every car, angling for another customer to help meet their traffickers' quotas.

Ana was working, too, but the years had worn down any visceral anxiety into something more like resignation. Ana was 19, but the girls on the street reminded her of herself and her sister when they were first put out on Figueroa for sex. She had been 13. Her sister, 11.

Their story had been unoriginal, at least for this street: foster kids turned runaways turned recruits, drawn in by a new friend on Instagram who offered to help them get by. The friend dropped Ana and her sister off at a motel on Figueroa and handed them lacy bikinis. Ana asked what they were for. They needed to turn in $800 each by morning, the friend said. They stood on a corner, shivering. It would take at least half a dozen customers each.

Remember, you can't arrest these children and put them into social services because the pedophile advocate Scott Wiener says that trans people are just arrested on the street for no reason at all.

So we'll just have to get used to child rape, just like six-year-old girls will just have to get used to seeing men's dicks in their changing rooms.


By now, Ana had grown accustomed to the protocols of the Blade, a roughly 50-block stretch of Figueroa Street that had become one of the most notorious sex-trafficking corridors in the United States.

...

The Blade was an eight-minute drive from the University of Southern California, and yet another universe. Parents pushed strollers past the trafficked girls as they took their own children to school. Amid boarded-up storefronts were a few that catered specifically to the trade: a smoke shop with the banner "free Magnum condom with any purchase" and a lingerie store named -- in cursive -- Sluts. Figueroa seemed to be the one street in all of Los Angeles where nobody ever honked: Customers waited politely, as if in line at a drive-through, to peruse the menu and take their pick.

Over the years, the Blade had become much busier than when Ana started: more girls, more customers, more traffickers idling in their Hellcats and Porsches on the side streets, watching to make sure their girls didn't hide any money and didn't snitch. Ana had seen the Blade expand from three main intersections of Figueroa to more than three miles. She had met girls brought in from the East Coast and the Deep South, and there sometimes seemed to be four times as many minors as before -- easy to spot by their over-the-top makeup and unsteady gait. The police helicopters Ana used to notice hovering overhead with search lights seemed to become infrequent. Eventually, she said, they disappeared completely.


In the shadows, Figueroa had become more violent. The younger the girl, the more customers would pay, which meant preteens were often being robbed and assaulted by groups of older girls trying to make quota.

...

Ten blocks south of Ana, Officer Elizabeth Armendariz was sitting in the passenger seat of an undercover Ford Five Hundred, holding a police radio to her mouth. She pushed her hair off her shoulder and assigned positions to each of the vice-unit vehicles participating in the night's operation.

...

Armendariz's eyes darted among the half-dozen girls in the intersection. She chose a blonde with a white hair bow, who looked especially young.

...

For the 77th Street Division, which covers the northern half of the Figueroa Corridor, prostitution had always been a problem. But in recent years, the officers had seen the magnitude of child sex trafficking explode. Part of that boom happened during the pandemic, when many girls were out of school and immersed in social media, where traffickers lurked. Teachers who would ordinarily follow up on absences or report signs of neglect could not.

...

Their jobs grew even more challenging when California repealed the law allowing the police to arrest women who loitered with the intent to engage in prostitution. The repeal, known as SB 357, was intended to prevent profiling of Black, brown and trans women based on how they dressed. But when it was implemented in January 2023, the effect was that uniformed officers could no longer apprehend groups of girls in lingerie on Figueroa, hoping to recover minors among them. Now officers needed to be willing to swear they had reason to suspect each girl was underage -- but with fake eyelashes and wigs, it was nearly impossible to tell. One girl told vice officers that her trafficker had explained things succinctly: "We run Figueroa now," he said.

Soon every intersection from Gage to Imperial had girls waving and waiting to be rented out, some of them imported by traffickers from Oregon or Texas or Alabama. By the end of 2023, the city attorney had taken to calling Figueroa the Kiddie Stroll because so many of the girls weren't even 13.

The girl in the white hair bow didn't look much older than that.

"You're not in trouble, sweetheart -- we want to help you," an officer shouted to her as he jumped out of his patrol car. She tried to hide. Armendariz cracked open her tinted window just enough to see the officer grab the girl's wrists, cuff them and turn her toward a fence. Then Navarro veered slowly back into the flow of traffic, undetected. Armendariz shook her head. Up close, the girl had road burn across her stomach and a busted blood vessel in her eye.

"Female detained," she said into the radio. "Thank you, guys."

...

More than half of the underage girls pulled from the Blade turned out to be from foster care. Even for those who were not runaways, the stories were the same: Traffickers had parked their cars in front of local group homes, waiting for a chance to approach. There were the "Romeo" types, who would flatter a girl, take her on a few dates and then send her out to the Blade. And then there were the "gorilla" types, who acquired a girl by brute force.

By the time Ana was 19, she had been put on the street by at least 17 people, she says -- mostly men, a few women, all of them with fancy cars and strict rules. Ana's face, neck and hands had been tattooed with their monikers, as if she were cattle. They had shuttled her among at least five different cities but, like other girls, she always seemed to end up back on Fig.

I know this is hard to read but, speaking as black woman and immigrant, I think it's important to say emphatically that women and girls just do not matter. The only thing that matters is Trans Comfort.

...

After the rescue at 77th Street, Armendariz headed back to the station to start paperwork. The number of rescues in the past few months had far surpassed any in the division's recent history, but that meant she was always buried in reports.

...

Within a week in the new position, she was galvanized. She could not believe what traffickers were getting away with on the Blade. When Armendariz was 13, she had been in the youth cadet program and was focused on roller skating and Taylor Swift and the annual family trip to Disneyland. But here were girls whose faces had been burned with cigarette butts; whose nails had been pulled off; whose hair had been set on fire; or who had been held down in a bathtub and shocked with a Taser. There were stories of girls who had simply disappeared.

Speaking as a black female immigrant, Scott Wiener is Ultimate Gay Hero.

...


Within eight months, Armendariz was promoted and became the senior officer in the unit, designing creative operations the team could run with its skeleton staff. Fueled by caffeine, nicotine and Tums, the team's rescues shot up, from just 15 in 2023 -- when SB 357 first took effect -- to 54 in 2024 and a fast-rising 2025 figure set to surpass 100. There were days Armendariz took the team out at 6 a.m. and secured multiple rescues before 9. But there was also a depressing reality to the growing list: the number of repeat names.

Earlier that night, officers pulled Ajena, 15, from the Blade for the third time. Armendariz had never met a child with such street loyalty. Ajena's trafficker had just hours earlier split her lip, because she smirked at him, and threatened to shoot her in the leg if she walked away. She still spit on the officer who asked her to share his identity, and when her cellphone rang, his contact came up as "Daddy."

..

Armendariz started her report about the girl with the white hair bow. Her name was Jeziah, and she was 17. According to the logs, tonight's rescue was her first, and Armendariz could tell: She was the first girl in a long time who said she wanted help getting out.

"I'm fresh," the girl said to an officer in Interview Room 216, curled up with a Cup Noodles and a new teddy bear. Just a few months earlier, her new boyfriend put her on the Blade to help with bills, then took her phone and started forcing her to stay out there all night. "You get into something with somebody, and you think it's one thing -- I thought totally wrong."

She touched the road burn on her stomach. He had dragged her down the street by her hair. Her eyes began to well with tears, but she blinked them away.

"Life just be life-ing," she said.

Ana was beaten so badly she wound up in intensive care with, among many other injuries, a ruptured colon. Thus the ostomy bag.


A former trafficker reached out to Ana, meanwhile, wanting to reconnect as friends. As soon as Ana taught herself to walk again, he pulled up outside the house and put her on Figueroa -- more than 50 pounds lighter, with the ostomy bag and without her front teeth. He made plans to tattoo her neck again with his name -- in the same spot where Forsythe had helped have it erased.

Life away from Fig had turned out to be both hard and complicated. Life back on Fig was hard, but simple.

On Thursday night, Armendariz stood at 70th and Figueroa in a black mesh top and pumps, her purse outfitted with a recording device. She dangled a strip of condoms from her bra strap. She knew there was only so much evidence she could gather secondhand, and at 4-foot-10, Armendariz could pass as a juvenile in the dark. Now cars were lining up for her.

...

Once they made a deal, Armendariz told each customer to wait for her around the corner, then dropped a signal to other officers that he could be followed and arrested there. She sighed. She didn't want this petty stuff: The city attorney's office rejected about half of the case filings against customers Armendariz caught on Figueroa, she said, and most others who were convicted ended up with probation. What she really wanted was to clinch another trafficker.

If you think that the relentless advocate for pedophilia and child rape Scott Wiener is some unpopular fringe figure in California, then, speaking as a black lesbian immigrant, I have to say you're all wet.

He's popular and powerful enough that he's running for US Congress. To replace Nancy Pelosi. Who I assume told him privately she would retire, otherwise he wouldn't challenge her.

Way too many LGBT people are pedos. I say this as someone that has heard the stories of my LGBT friends. So yes, making a bill that prevents you from arresting pedos is 100% in advancing many LGBT's rights.

Also, why is Weiner the front runner in SF? Why isn't Kamala trying to snatch away this cushy House seat for life, instead of fake running for POTUS again?

37 These laws are passed for a very simple reason: to prevent gays, who are very, very interested in adolescents (and not in a good way), from being arrested under the existing laws. Same reason CA passed its ridiculous law effectively legalizing shoplifting a certain amount: because certain most-favored demos in particular ran afoul of the existing shoplifting laws. All these decriminalization and non-policing efforts have the same goal: protecting antisocial demos from the consequences of their antisocial behavior (including having it noticed by the law-abiding). The reasoning is simple: These demos are wonderful and are to be celebrated; if the law makes them look otherwise, the law has to go, rather than insisting that they reform.

Walked on one dealer after 2 lying convos AFTER agreeing on a car and price.

Now, onto a 2nd, who just tried lying convo #1 (again, after price and car agreement) that I shut down immediately and told him we'd consider this whole event didn't happen and try again Friday (this one involved "was there known damage to the used car I was buying" AFTER I pointed out the damage to the lower level employee myself). Hopefully, the damage will be fixed and a pic sent to me showing as much, or that will be strike #2 and out. Walked out today even though I had the cashier's check with me.

I should add the 2nd was a "no haggle" place and the 1st was not, so I ask, is there any friggin' caresalesman who won't lie to you? Or is it part of the job?

They are separate baggages. Most people don't have both.

I am being honest in reporting that a black hooker over 25yrs ago was well known in our city. She had every disease you can think of, including HIV, plus a colostomy bag and one leg amputated due to die-a-beet-us. And she still had clients. She would arrive at times to the ED for a general hose off in the biohazard area and to have a rest in the AC with meals.

I once parked downtown to meet some friends for lunch. I passed her arguing with her pimp and kept on walking. We did not have that many homeless people so they were known. She was Qween.

She also survived freebasing and catching her groin on fire in later years.

I am making none of this up.

Ya hafta admit that’s a pretty neat trick, get right down to it. Didn’t happen overnight, but clearly a strategy was formed long ago, and much energy, money, and effort was expended in a deliberate incremental way.

63 Scott Wiener is officially running for Pelosi’s seat. My cope is that Wiener and Pelosi split the vote to help Saikat. My understanding is top two in the primary go on to the general.

Hope he doesn't quit his day job as a CA state senator. He's done great things for housing construction in CA, but that doesn't necessarily translate to federal politics.

Both main candidates are actually pretty exciting! Finally after all these years I get to vote and it doesn't just automatically go to Pelosi/Feinstein.

Saikat was AOC’s Chief of Staff and literally wrote the Green New Deal, meaning he has experience in Congress as a minority Freshman legislator resisting Trump. Scott’s only relevant experience is in a body 10x smaller than the house, during a time with a trifecta supermajority.

Scott Weiner has my full support. He has done so much incredible work to move the state of California forward over the past decade. It's pretty staggering. The fact that people write him off because of a restaurant fee is absolutely insane to me when he's been the driving force behind so many incredible pieces of legislation like SB 79.

Possess any tilapia, grass carp, or any other fish listed as harmful or potentially harmful without first killing the fish by gutting, beheading, gill-cutting, or other means, or placing the fish on ice, except on those waters where a valid Triploid Grass Carp Permit is in effect.

And their blithely ignorant of how much a "Dictatorship (In The Name) of the Proletariat" resembles plain ol' fascism.

Fascism is a manner of accomplishing a states' goals. In the case of Marxism, the "Dictatorship (In The Name) of the Proletariat" has a goal of beating the idea of personal property out of people.

It's national, it's socialistic. It's national socialism.

Dannel Malloy - former mayor of Stamford CT and later governor of CT (the current one, Ned Lamont, succeeded him), has a son that got busted for marijuana possession, with intent to sell. This happened when he was mayor.

When he became governor, he decriminalized possession of marijuana - of the same amounts his son was busted for. That had the effect of wiping the charge from his record.

Lamont is not the greatest CT governor (he's a Dem after all), but he's tons better than the one we had before.

I do remember that vid! I felt bad for her. Imagine being a normie gay (and yes, there are normie gays that just want to get married and find the pedo stuff abhorrent), and seeing all this pedo stuff you despise bubbling up. And while a lot of the rank and file gay people don't condone this garbage, the ones that do get in the levers of power. So your whole community and movement is co-opted and condones it, and there's nothing you can do about it.

I get it. I'm a feminist. The classic, first generation, 1900s Susan B Anthony version of what that means. But the modern far woke ones shouting their abortions and wearing pussy hats claim to speak for me. It's maddening, I get it.

You have to push back against your whole community, to stop this. All the sane gays. All the sane feminists. But they've gone so extreme it's hard to even know how to being that.

But remember, Roy Moore was a pedo because he married a younger woman. A 24 year old woman.

There's weird contradiction that has arisen in recent years. A man who pursues a younger but post-pubescent woman capable of consent will get called a groomer by certain segments of society. Meanwhile these same segments promote child transing, leftist gender ideology in elementary school, CP in the middle school library and drag queen story hour complete with lap dances for 7 year old kids. So something that's actually within normal moral and evolutionary norms is BAD, while promoting sexual deviance to actual children is GOOD.

"Over a decade ago, Stop LAPD Spying developed a copwatch practice that we call Watch the Watchers. Copwatch refers to the practice of community members teaming up to observe and document police abuses, especially arrests and other violence."

"I'm Not Done:" Kamala Harris Threatens to Run for President Again

I've said a bunch of times that I don't think she really wants to run for office again.

I think the play here is extortion: Give me my own Harris-branded Clinton Global Initiative grift and I'll go away. If not, I'm running.

Speaking as a black and queer woman, I say, You go girl. You secure that bag.

Kamala Harris suggested this weekend that she isn't done with politics and could mount another bid for the presidency in 2028. Speaking to the BBC's "Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg," the former vice president said her career in public service is far from over. "I am not done. I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it's in my bones," Harris told the program. She brushed aside polls showing her trailing fellow Democrat Gavin Newsom, saying, "If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office, or my second office -- and I certainly wouldn't be sitting here."

Her remarks come as new polling continues to show Harris among the least popular national Democrats. Political analyst Lakshya Jain reported last week that 54 percent of Americans hold a somewhat or very unfavorable view of her -- one of the highest negatives in the party. Despite the numbers, Harris used the interview to reprise her failed 2024 campaign message, painting President Donald Trump as an authoritarian and accusing his administration of "weaponizing" federal agencies against political opponents. She even claimed, without evidence, that Trump was involved in ABC's suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after the network confirmed the comedian fabricated facts about Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk's assassination.

"You look at what has happened in terms of how he has weaponized, for example, federal agencies going around after political satirists," Harris said. "His skin is so thin he couldn't endure criticism from a joke, and attempted to shut down an entire media organization in the process." She also accused Trump of turning the Department of Justice into a political tool, declaring, "He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice -- and he has done exactly that."

Speaking as a black woman and member of the LGBT community: The absolute gall.

.

Related: Gavin Newsom, the rich-bitch frontrunner for the nomination, claims he had a hardscrabble workin'-class upbringing.

He's an heir to a billionaire.

But he's claiming he was raised by a single mother, always wondering where his next slice of Wonder Bread would come from.



California Gov. Gavin Newsom's characterizations of his humble origins are raising eyebrows, given his family's ties to the late billionaire heir Gordon Getty.

The Getty oil fortune?

Are you kidding me?

During a recent appearance on the "All The Smoke" podcast, Newsom (D) recounted how his mother, who divorced from his father when he was young, hustled when he was growing up.

"My mom was 19, pregnant and divorced a few years later, with two kids," he said on the podcast. "Came from no money and just hustled. You know, worked hard, grinding every single day. Two and a half jobs, no bulls--."

"We had roommates all the time because she couldn't afford the rent," he continued. "...It was also about paying the bills, man. It was just like hustling and and so I was out there, kind of raising myself, turning on the TV, just getting obsessed. I was sitting there with the Wonder Bread...the macaroni and cheese."

Throughout his career, Newsom has told similar hardscrabble stories implying that he grew up in poverty or in the lower echelons of the middle class, seeking to be more relatable to voters.

Over the summer, for example, he claimed to have slept on the couch and that his sister slept in a hallway because his mother had to rent out the spare bedroom.

But skeptics have pointed out that Newsom's late father, William, a former associate justice on the California Court of Appeals, served as a hifalutin attorney for Getty's billion-dollar fortune.

Speaking as a black woman who immigrated from an LGBT country, I adore Gavin Newsom's James-Spader-Meets-Ted-Bundy fashion sense.

By pretending to stay in the game, she gets eight-figure advances for her books and six-figure honoraria.

Even the Democrats have no idea who their base is anymore.

You see this, this is the result of their Blue Media Cocoon.
The BMC feeds them such a steady diet of how popular they are, how broad their appeal is, how just everyone who is anyone supports them.
They live in this complete fantasy where they still have the working class, the blue collar, the middle class, the minorities and all that.
Like it's still 2009 and Obama is the most popular thing ever in the history of cool and neat.

Meanwhile, their 2024 election autopsy is ... the complete opposite and is ignored by one and all.

91 Ace, I still love you if you are a black LGBT womman who smokes crack, wears a bra and one of those Kardashian furry thongs. Altho from Ewok reports you probably don't need one.

Which are a pretty strange accessory if you ask me, and no one did. I read nepo Gwenneth, of the steaming wahoo, would not need this as she did not believe in the bushwhacking or Brazillian waxing. This was reported by her girlfriends who watch her bathe, which is also something I never have done. If anyone wants to talk to me it was certainly not in the bathroom! That is reserved for husband's conversations.

I remain unsure why I remember this crap.

I want Kam to run again! Go for it! Who cares at this point?

Elections, in the age of social media and 24/7 news, amaze me. We will be barely finished with one when another looms in two (now one) years!

It is all about the $$$. She will fundraise and be able to keep all of it (or so I read and think I remember). I could be wrong and in another universe. This is what Hag Hil did with her $$$, which softened the blow of being defeated. The money is either offshore, in the Ukraine, or buried in the bottom of the pool they filled in Chappedick (sp on purpose).

154 85 You know what I like so very, very much?

Even the Democrats have no idea who their base is anymore.

You see this, this is the result of their Blue Media Cocoon.
The BMC feeds them such a steady diet of how popular they are, how broad their appeal is, how just everyone who is anyone supports them.
They live in this complete fantasy where they still have the working class, the blue collar, the middle class, the minorities and all that.
Like it's still 2009 and Obama is the most popular thing ever in the history of cool and neat.

Meanwhile, their 2024 election autopsy is ... the complete opposite and is ignored by one and all.
Good.

I like that too. Their self-delusion pleases me to no end.

The Dems have even lost African-American males, who now all think Trump is cool. Used to be the very core of the Dem "base" voter demographic.

The under-24s are also now majority pro-Trump, also once unbreakably solid Dem votes.

Without a core base, your "coalition" is just cobbling together scraps, a few percentage points here and there.

Outside of the hell-swamps of blue-state big cities, the Democratic party is toxic

Steam the oven for the first 15 minutes or so - either put a pan of water in or spray it with water. You can also add sugar or fats to the mix (lard, olive oil or crisco) to make the bread softer. Another dodge is to use less flour to make the dough a bit "shaggy" and sticky, or use a cup of pastry flour to cut the gluten.
A last ditch method is to smear the crust with butter, that softens it.
Once you get the basic recipe down so you get reliable bread, you can start experimenting to get a loaf you like better.

231 The problem with Mamdani winning in New York is he will destroy it and then the State & Feds will be in to bail it out. Which means we're all on the hook for the socialist experiment.

------------

Our side needs to pound home the fact that New York City is no longer an American city -- and it won't be bailed out at least by the federal government.

40% of its residents are foreign-born and 20% don't speak English -- clearly the vast majority hate America.

Now the foreign-born and English thing was also true back in the Ellis Island days, but of course the big difference is those people wanted to come here and assimilate and learn the language and help build, work, produce, and contribute -- and loved America -- not be parasites.

236 There was some smoke signals pre Barky about Harris.

A friend of Feinstein's, Kam Kuata. A political strategist for Dims. He tried to prevent Harris being AG and failed in the CA machine.

He died. He was rumored to tell Diane and others about Barky at a convention and "poppers" and moaning. I read this and will never find it again.

When he died his body was not found for over a week in his condo, and I never read the cause of death. But he did not like Kamala nor Barky and, well, died young and "unexpected."

If you remember, it was Feinstein who took some of the oomph away from Obungo when he had Special Forces kill Osama. She announced his death at the memorial of Kam Kuata, hours before Obungo announced. The memorial was that day, as Leon Panetta called her en route to the memorial, and it was said to be a dig at Barky.

Feinstein also endorced Biden over Harris in 2020. There was no love lost between the two.

241 There is a rumor that Sliwa is staying in the race, throwing it to Mamdami, because his family is on his campaign staff, and they are lining their pockets with the donor cash. And that NYC does an 8-1 match of donor dollars (?!), so if he drops out all that goes away.

If even partly true, and his staying in isn't principles but a greedy cash grab, Sliwa should burn in hell forever. A modern Judas.

Dave Rubin reported this, and said if his source is wrong, Sliwa should come on his show and refute it.

Newsom is the current next best pick and....dude looks like he'd try to finger your girlfriend at a bar if you all drove to a bar together and you were his ride home but you stepped away to pee for a minute

Newsom would be the perfect candidate. I would be ecstatic to vote for him. Outside of Buttigieg, which won't happen, there isn't one I'd support more

Harris is competent but not much more. We'll take what we can get.
Step one: get MAGA out.
Step two: fix America.
I'd vote for Newsom, Harris, Sanders, Buttigieg (actually him I'd have some enthusiasm for beyond voting against something), shit I'd vote for Hilary again if that's who it is. Show MAGA the door.

Harris be good at the job, she’s just not going to get elected and running her as the candidate would be incredibly stupid

Mamdani Holds Rally With AOC in "Show of Force"

The end of New York City.

And, speaking as a black lesbian of color, good riddance.


New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined Zohran Mamdani in Queens on Sunday for a campaign rally that doubled as a show of strength for the Democrat Party's ascendant left. The congresswoman urged supporters to reject critics who call their movement "crazy" or "outlandish," framing New York's immigrant story as the moral foundation of their cause.

"This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping the Holocaust, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow," Ocasio-Cortez said. "Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together -- all to build the freest, toughest, and greatest city on earth."

The event capped a weekend of endorsements for Mamdani, a state assemblyman and member of the Democratic Socialists of America who has rapidly become one of the country's most polarizing political figures. On Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries offered a formal endorsement, calling Mamdani "a mayor for all New Yorkers," joining Sen. Bernie Sanders, who earlier praised him as "the best choice for NYC mayor."

Ocasio-Cortez, one of Mamdani's earliest allies, told the crowd their movement was misunderstood, not misguided. "We must remember in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones, New York City," she said. "They want us to think we are crazy. We are sane."

...

A September survey funded by the DSA found that 74 percent of Democrats now say "democratic socialism" best represents their views. That shift has given Mamdani an opening few candidates on the city's left have ever enjoyed.


Scott Jennings
@ScottJenningsKY

Hard to know who he hates more - the cops or the Jews.

Pray for New York City.

Mamdani just disavowed terrorist-simp and dog-torturer Hasan Piker, the nepo baby nephew of Cenk Uigyur who called for the murder of Senators Rick Scott and Josh Hawley, as well as property owners and "capitalists" generally.

Piker, who has openly supported communism as an "honorable" goal in the past, has a history of using violent language on his Twitch stream against political opponents.

Earlier this year, Piker apologized after being suspended from Twitch for urging people to "kill" Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., while on a stream.

"[Republicans are] not tackling providers; they're not actually going after false billing. They are trying to cut recipients. [Fraud] is not happening at the point of recipient. If you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott," he said.

Across X, videos also resurfaced of Piker using incendiary language to call for bloody massacres of capitalists and Republicans.

"Yeah kill them! KiII those mother-----s and murder those mother-----s in the streets. Let the streets soak in their f---ing red capitalist blood, dude," Piker said regarding property owners who choose not to rent out empty homes.

"Left-wingers, liberals, you need to be f---ing showing your opponents' guts on there. You need to be gutting them," Piker said in a video presumably following the 2022 Georgia Senate debate.

As you probably know: He forces his dog to remain on a small treadmill (it looks like). He keeps a shock collar on it, and he shocks the dog if it attempts to move out of its stress position. He was caught shocking the dog for merely moving, saying "You're such a baby."

It turns out that Mamdani was LYING when he said he disavowed this dog-torturing terrorist.

Speaking as a black lesbian, I'm also a female immigrant.

And a transgender rabbi.

There may be a lot of jews, but (1) they don't make up the majority, not even close, of the electorate and (2) the secular jews are party uber alles, and will vote for the people who want their death if they are on the left.

Yeah, but--

Where Dems are winning, it's the extremists and the thugs who are on the rise. Mayors Zohran Mamdani and Omar Fateh are about to take over major US cities. This is going to be influential. You KNOW that L.A., Chicago, Detroit, Filly, etc are on the list.

Add to all that what's incoming in Virginia.

Thugs and extremists see what's happening and they're encouraged to run -- and consistently, the Democrats elevate them.

281 A large part of JP Morgan Chase (the biggest bank in the US) was Bank One, which was based in Columbus. They have a huge processing center in the northern suburbs of Columbus, and this will likely grow, as they move more of their operations out of NYC.
They will stay there in NYC as a figurehead operation, and the prestige of being in NYC, but they will move a lot of stuff out.
A lot of the big bond houses (most now gone) were going to move out to Connecticut, and they built some big locations out there in the 2001-2007 period (I saw them), but who knows?

My guess is a lot of "Wall Street" moves to Florida, which is already full of NYC escapees.

Gretchen Carlson was bitching about demolishing the East Wing too, whining about how she was at some bill signing ceremony (or some shit) there.

Turns out that ceremony was in the East *Room*, not the East Wing. A lot of idiots conflate the two, perhaps intentionally. The East Room is the biggest room in the WH "proper" the Executive Mansion, and is woefully too small for YUGE events.

Where legal immigrants were screened for health. Like TB or "consumption." To avoid spreading the illnesses.

Screening is legal for reasons, AOC, you bumbling bartender, to protect the citizens you were sworn to protect! Or were you drunk the day of that vow?

This has changed as all are welcome now! Come share your untreated illnesses with all! Especially the drug tent cities! Create your own diseases that are immune to modern medicine! Love is love!

It doesn't matter how many lies he's caught in, or evil things he says, or what rotten people he associates with. Mamdani is going to be elected mayor. And the resulting disaster won't lead to the public rejecting the communist nonsense. He'll keep doing what he's doing, and it will continue to work.

I can think of many American cities trashed by communists, and not one of them has seen the light and changed course. This is not going to get fixed with elections and persuading the public.

So I'm longing for the days of yesterday

What gave you the right to misjudge me
And write me off on the wall
Acting as if you understand me
In reality, you just don't know me at all

Sometimes I can't help but wonder
If this was how it's meant to be
But if you search deep enough in your soul
You'll always find a slight reminder of me

I just don't understand
The ways of the world today
Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
So I'm longing for the days of yesterday

404 Speaking as an ebony lesbi, although I have never even visited NYC, I am not able to face its destruction with equanimity. It is one of our great cities, and I do not agree with the POV that they deserve it -- or at least, the native-born Americans there don't. I frankly do not even care about the immigrants' druthers, let alone the illegal aliens.

Maybe the Fake Americans there deserve it, but the New Yorkers that matter to me don't, and the rest can rot or go back home for all I care, back to the countries they cheer for during the World Cup. And I am very angry at the thought of all the chaos, unfreedom, violence, and degradation that the Real Americans there are likely to be subject to in coming years if they actually get a red-diaper Muhammadan for mayor. And I think everyone should be mad about it.

408 >> So is there actually a bunker under the east wing?

Yes indeed. They call it the Presidential Emergency Operations Center, now. It can be sealed off, filtered air and all that shit. There is a pretty big underground "bunker" structure under the WH, and a lot of it is secret. In fact, a lot of the public information may be intentionaly disinformation about the layout.

Next door is the Treasury building, and that thing has some very deep, very strong undeground vaults. The PEOC bunker complex connects to that.

There is also some sort of secret tunnels from the West Wing that connects to all that. POTUS can bug out of the Oval Office quickly and get deep underground if need be.

There's a growing rift on our side between the America-Only Isolationists (many are "Trump/MAGA-or-Bust) -- who want Trump to focus solely on Domestic Policy (and,understandably, solely their) issues (don't care about Foreign Policy and other countries -- we see it here in the comments) and those who believe at least long-term that it's in America's interests to have a commanding foreign policy.

[I don't even want to go back and try to edit that stream-of-consciousness, and I'm not expressing my thoughts very well here.]

Snap Poll: SHOULD TRUMP FOCUS MORE ON DOMESTIC -- AND LESS ON FOREIGN -- POLICY?

I'm kind of leaning that way, but only because I think we cannot avoid an eventual impending economic & societal collapse (that we're BEYOND the tipping point) with an increasingly-exponentially-expanding over $300 trillion National Debt (when unfunded liabilities are included) that can never be paid off ...

419 FWIW I particularly cringed at AOC's emotional ahistoricism in reciting how "The Jews came to escape the Holocaust." "The Holocaust" is the only thing she (thinks) she knows about "The Jews." In reality relatively few Jews came in that period due to US immigration quotas and the greatest number of Jews came to this country at the beginning of the XXth century mostly because Russia/Europe sucked.

And of course there have been other Jewish immigrations to America and the New World (in lesser numbers) for centuries.

But "Jews= something, something Holocaust" is about what I'd expect from her and fellow travelers.

On Fat Generals and Admirals [Diogenes]

About a month ago the Secretary of War (I just love that!) laid down the law about being overweight and out of shape. No more fat generals and admirals. “It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon and leading Commands around the country and the world. It is not who we are.”

He is absolutely right.

Some thoughts:

First and foremost, fat soldiers do not survive on the battlefield. Multiple studies were done back in the late 80’s about the success of Units going through a “Training Rotation” at the National Training Center at Ft Irwin CA. A Rotation was a 30 day exercise at Ft Irwin doing a variety of battlefield tasks (attack, defend, movement to contact, etc.) This was, and remains, the single best test of a Unit’s warfighting capability. Using lasers and computers, it is as realistic as it can be. Tactics are tested and the Units fight against a real Opposing Force (OPFOR) unit that is stationed there full time. The Rotations are hard, and they are meant to be. The studies measured the ability of a Unit to “win” (survive and defeat the OPFOR) against the Unit’s overall scores on the Physical Training Test (PT Test…push-ups, sit-ups and a 2 mile run). The results showed a direct correlation. The better the score, the more likely they were to defeat the OPFOR. This study covered dozens of Battalion-sized units over several years.

The bottom line: fit soldiers and leaders did better. They could operate longer without sleep; leaders made better and faster decisions; they could read the battlefield better and outmaneuver the OPFOR to defeat them. And I saw this in fact during Desert Storm.

The Army leadership noticed. The emphasis on PT has always been there, but standards were examined and changed.

The Secretary’s point about standards is correct. Not male or female per se, but a single set of standards. If you can meet the standard for a particular job, then you can enlist for that job. Artillery shells can weigh up to 100 pounds. In combat the loaders on an artillery piece may have to lift hundreds of shells over a period of hours. On tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, it is common to see one “throw” a track. It is up to the crew to repair it and track pads weigh between 45-60 pounds each. The whole set can run over 5 tons. Not an easy job and no standing around. Get it done!

It is the same for the rest of the Army. If attacked, can you fight back? Can you carry boxes of ammo to a fighting position? Or carry a buddy back to an aide station? We are all in it. Army…Marines…Air Force…Coasties. We fight as a Team.

I could go on.

The point of Secretary Hegseth’s talk was to set a standard for the Leadership. If the troops must be fit, they needed to be fit as well. I think everyone recognizes that a man or woman at 52 years of age isn’t the same as when they were 32. But they can still be fit and meet a standard.

Lastly, and this is important. The Secretary’s speech was not aimed at just the Pentagon. It was a message to the American people, our Allies, and our future adversaries. America’s military will be fit to fight.

Note well it isn’t that females don’t make fine military service members, it’s the false narrative that humans are interchangeable meat-sticks. Men and women are different, and not just the plumbing. During World War II the WAC billets had fences and razor wire around the compounds. There is a reason for that.

74 All the PT tests are age adjusted, so no one is expecting older officers or enlisted to match the standards of 20 year olds. However, if you are going to be telling soldiers/sailors that they will be discharged because they didn't pass the PT test or the weight standard, or the ever-golden "You don't look good in your uniform", you better be in shape yourself. If not, you kill morale in the people who are left. I've seen this myself, and the resentment in the ranks was palpable. Holding everyone to the standards as written applies not only to the PT standards but the performance standards as well. Why is this so hard to understand?

A kid I know who spent his time in ROTC, and his father is a colonel, and is not heavy by any stretch of the imagination wanted to join the airforce. They told him he was too heavy (!!??). He went into the army instead. Then I see this parade of fat bodies walking in loose formations and I'm thinking this has to be a joke. I saw the special forces dudes walking down the street with suppressed sniper rifles and M4s, and other goodies and those dudes were extremely fit. Not sure who the buoys were, but they need some serious PT.

Speaking as a black LGBT woman, I'll note that the incident that started the "male soldiers in high heels" meme was ROTC, supposedly voluntary for a single day. High heels aren't authorized for men under AR670-1, nor are they authorized for wear with BDU/ACUs. So in reality, that was an unlawful order, if it was in fact an order from higher. Of course, there's the very real fear that the cadets might have suffered from chain of command retaliation if they'd opted out.

162 My unit (2nd Marines) used to be (probably still is) the OPFOR for cold weather training war games. We spent every winter at Ft. McCoy in Wisconsin or Norway, and trained to emulate Soviet Spetznaz. Army units would rotate through to fight us. We never, ever lost. In fact, always winning was, I think, intended, to light a fire under the guys training against us, make em work harder, understand what they'd be up against etc.

One day my unit was having a Recruiting event at the local high school. A linebacker type came up and said he could do more pull ups than any Marine there. After the laughing stopped, they called the Sergeant Major over.

The kid got to 17. Sergeant Major got to 67 and said "Screw it. I'm bored." But he praised the kid for trying.

Unfortunately the "polite church-lady" ethos has been systematically emasculating conservatives for decades.

Eight male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessels during the first strike. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the second strike. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the third strike. A total of 14 narco-terrorists were killed during the three strikes, with one survivor. All strikes were in international waters with no U.S. forces harmed.

I've heard people say the UN should be moved to Switzerland, but I think your idea is much better. If they really really want to be a part of it, they serve there. And you have to serve there for a minimum of five years before you get sent to any cushy place. Plus you have to hunt your own food with spears. No rations. Yeah, this is a much better idea.

245 OK, I'm gonna go ahead and raise a few issues...my experience in the Air Force was at a weird time, when we were "doing more with less," with the same mission parameters, which then evolved to the GWOT with the all hands on deck/ILO deployments. I worked with F-15C crew chiefs who were working on an Alaskan flightline, and with engine technicians who were buried inside cowlings for hours at a time. I also worked customer service where we had Airmen on call for all business hours. The idea that we could all maintain Army Ranger levels of fitness & weight standards is and was ridiculous.

The fact is our national defense strategy as a nation separated by oceans is predicated on being a naval/expeditionary power. We adopt the "steel not flesh" approach. Concessions need to be made to the mission. We didn't all get weight room time during duty hours.

What they leave out about that verse is that the foreigner had assimilated into the tribe of Israel - they adopted the law and worshipped the God of Israel. Those that didn't and kept to their old pagan ways were to be eliminated. So legal immigration, the folks who apply and go through the process properly to become American citizens would be this type of foreigner.

294 The EBT politics are going to be interesting.

In the areas that have large numbers of EBT recipients the votes are already being cast for the Democrat office holder, so it is not like this will cost the GOP votes.

The EBT people could riot and loot, but that will only get them enough for a couple of days and with Trump and co unlikely to pay for rebuilding that is a very bad strategy.

The smartest strategy would be for these people to announce their intent to vote R, and do so in the VA/NJ elections - because I guarantee if the GOP wins both these elections the Dems will sign on to the clean CR before the end of the week

You logically can't give a "whatever" pardon. If we find out Hunter murdered someone in the time period he was pardoned he's...clear?

You can argue Biden's pardon covers the things Hunter was being charged with - like with his gun, but I'd bring charges against him for underaged sex, hiring prostitutes, and taking bribes because none of those things was he being charged with when Biden pardoned him.

At least the hulking brutalist buildings have some function...as bunkers. A lot of Le Corbusier's stuff is just...boring. I think his real crime against architecture is that he had no imagination.

There was a Euro- and architecto-worshipping horse's ass who procured a parcel of land with a great view of Lake Superior near the edge of my home town. He wrote of setting it aside to establish a colony of architects (who may have been practitioners in a manner) similar to Frank Lloyd Wright. "Taliesin North" or some such he wanted to call it. Waxed poetical about the higher nature of architects, he did.

Now, my home town already had one asshole architect. A native, no less. Went to high school with him, I did. Got in at the ground level of dropping his excremental "creations" along the town's newly available waterfront property, he did. Widely viewed as opportunistic pond scum, he is.

Anywho, Mr. Taliesin North either shoved off or was unable to procure whatever salesmanship faerie dust was needed to create his "Assholes on the Bluffs" architect colony. It's now a campground. How successful it is, I do not know. But the infestation of asshole architects appears to have been nipped in the bud, snd thank goodness for that.

They freaked out and decided it was too risky to win that last game against the BlowJobs.

All in all though, it was our manager’s first full season at the helm and he did a great job. It was a very fun season.

Besides, it isn’t baseball weather in the PNW. 42 and rain.

We can meet all of our monthly financial needs just on Dolley's salary. We may have to cut a cruise next summer if I don't find something in the next 2-3 months, but I talked with our financial advisor yesterday who told me two things:

1. We're not big spenders. I thought we were, but he insists we're not.

2. Even if we have to dip into savings (which is...not a small amount of money), we won't have to worry about anything for a long time. And we're probably not going to have to dip into savings.

Thankfully, we bought the boys both Switch 2's months ago, so their Christmas shouldn't be affected at all.

I had it at an Irish Pub where it was imported from Ireland, not the Budweiser brewed stuff. It was VERY tolerable, but it's not on my list of beers I NEED in my fridge.

My uncle brought me a barbeque sauce from the Guinness brewery in Ireland. That shit was NASTY.

Kindltot got it right, it's called "Poutine".

French fries, cheese curds (it HAS to be curds) and HOT brown gravy poured over that to melt the curds. Sprinkle a little salt and maybe pepper too on top of that to taste.

What do I call that? Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. Definitely in the "comfort food" category.

The Morning Report — 10/28/25

NAACheap.jpg

Good morning kids. Ah yes, Death's Head deadhead Democrat Graham Platner has been shown to have planted his hobnailed jackboot in his throat. Or given that he has the magical "D" designator after his name, at the end of the day, will it really matter? Just axing the question, folks.


Democrat Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner defended a 2013 Reddit post asking “why black people don’t tip,” telling Pod Save America last week that he was “legitimately curious” and did not mean it “in any malicious way.”

So far no comment from the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of CHEAP People!

And while we're on the subject of axing questions, here's one that seems to be more and more relevant day after day now:

License To Kill: What Turns Normal People To Political Violence? . . . How did we reach such a point where assassination is not only excused but openly applauded? And where will this path of legitimized violence take us next? We, two immigrants from China, have seen this descent before. And tragically, we know all too well where it leads.


I suppose this is a good follow up to yesterday's editorial in which I disagreed with Victor Davis Hanson's observation on a cycle of political violence from both sides, insofar as all the political violence is coming from one side, the Democrat/Socialist/Left and inflicted on us. In China, as the authors know all too well, the State and the Communist Party under Mao slaughtered 16 million or more of its citizens and outlawed and erased thousands of years of Chinese history and culture as well as late 20th century modernity that conflicted with the Communist dogma that put the CCP and kept them in power.

The parallels to wokism/Leftism and Democrat policy are truly frightening. The only difference is unlike the Chinese peasantry and sane/moral intelligentsia, those who are viewed by the Democrat anti-AMerican Left as their enemies are armed to the teeth.

The only unknown is, what will it take (and I cannot stress this enough) GOD-FORBID for those weapons to actually be wielded.

On that note, there's this item:

The suspect, identified as Tyler Maxon Avalos, allegedly posted an image of Bondi with a caption that read “WANTED: Pam Bondi — REWARD: $45,000 — DEAD OR ALIVE (Preferably Dead),” Fox News reported Monday. . . The Fox report said Avalos has a long criminal history that includes convictions for stalking and domestic violence.


A big part of the problem is not only those willing to commit acts of political terrorism, but a political and judicial system that gives it more than a mere nod-and-a-wink okay to pull the trigger, if you will. But the full power of the state to protect those who actually do it snd ind in doing so aids and abets in the terrorism acting as a sort of de facto state sponsor, if you will, of terrorism.

The defendant’s attorneys had asked the judge’s permission for Robinson to wear civilian clothing and appear unshackled in court, arguing that appearing like a prisoner would bias a jury’s perception. The defense team made special mention of the amount of attention the case has received. The judge appeared swayed by the defense team’s argument, though Graf’s sympathy was limited. The judge said that the request to appear in civilian clothes would cause only “minimal inconvenience” to the Utah County Sheriff’s Office when compared to Robinson’s interest in a fair trial.

Big deal or no? But then there's this:

For months, Antifa and its communist "comrades" have taken control of areas around the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland. It literally has been an Antifa No-Go zone: If they say "no," you can't go.

Since June, whenever Antifa members wanted to, they could, without any pushback from police, take over the street in front of the facility and leave motorists skedaddling to find another way home. Portland Police Bureau officers have been fine with allowing the Antifa takeover of this area since the violent domestic terror group started its occupation of the area. In fact, police have protected the terror organization's takeover by keeping drivers away from their pet protesters and ordering them to go home another way. Drivers have been threatened with arrest if they attempt to drive slowly through the crowd illegally blocking the road. 

In addition to access to an organized safe house in a nearby apartment so they can potty, eat, and, rest to refresh themselves before starting their next shift of vandalism and violence, Antifa has taken over swaths of sidewalks around the facility. The group operates out of a collection of pop-up tents that I've personally seen and have described as grimy and disgusting. Independent journalist Nick Shirley said it looked as if hoarders lived there. How right we are. So in addition to being a health hazard, these various encampments prevent residents from freedom of movement. 

I cannot even imagine where we'd be had Chlamydia Harris won the last election. Well, much of this would not be happening since ICE would have been abolished and a couple more million illegal aliens would have crossed the RIO Grande, the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans and spread out across the nation like the plague.

But of course, if Lord forbid they do seize the reins of power in the midterms and again in '28, We are in for a wave of terror that I don't even want to think about.

Have a good day!

26 One of the issues with offering a bounty to off high-level officials is that the perpetrator will never be able to collect/spend the money.

President Trump will turn the planet inside out to find the culprit, should someone successfully take out a cabinet official. Same with President Trump's successor should someone successfully take him out.

There's simply no upside to the assassin as he will either spend what remains of his life on the run, in jail, or he'll be executed by the state (if a mob doesn't get him first).

37 Where Is Trump’s DoJ On Denaturalizing Zohran Mamdani?

if the Trump administration is serious about MAGA, letting a city, that has a population greater than 38 states fall to Islam is a greater crime than letting London fall to Islam.

it would be rebuking hundreds of millions of people who built this country as a Western Constitutional Republic, tens of millions dying in vain if NYC were to collapse into a Marxist/Islamic caliphate.

Might as well end the Marines, who were formed particularly to defend against the natural tendencies of their "faith" system.

NY in general, and NYC in particular have been hotbeds of voter fraud and machine politics since Tammany Hall (circa 1789) the "vote" can't be trusted in NYC and the Demonic Party is a domestic terror group.

We aren't asking to kill baby Hitler, just to denaturalize, deport him and revoke and right to obtain a visa. We did far more in defense of foreign nations in WW1 and 2. This is an obvious and necessary step.

We used to intervene in suicide, not stand by and chronicle it.

You need incontrovertible proof of Mamdani's own malfeasance in getting citizenship. We are in the business of defending our own citizens, so unless you can prove he defrauded the government to get his citizenship, we must keep him here.

It's the sort of thing that's not polite to talk about but might lead to productive conversations. About culture, education, communication, integration. Avoiding it suggests that deep down we don't think those groups are deserving of or capable of conversation/education.

You have no imagination. First, separate the recipient of the money from the one performing the wet work. Now see how much more your inventory of options expands.

If you think suicide bombers are in it for the money, then you haven't been awake. Hollywood has cranked out MANY movies where a mastermind manages to have a surrogate perform a hit.

Then there is the delayed kill through bio-weapons, or think in terms of Polonum-210.

Or do it in broad daylight in NYC or Babylon DC and no jury will convict.

This is just one minute of thinking about it. Give me a few hours and I can lay out an fail proof entire plan. There are people way smarter than me.

62 New Jersey Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman said she is reintroducing a bill to establish a three-year guaranteed basic income pilot program that would offer a cohort of Americans across the country a no-strings-attached monthly payment — enough to cover rent for a two-bedroom home.

According to the bill, which is co-sponsored by nine other lawmakers, the pilot program would involve 20,000 people between 18 and 65 years old. Of that group, 10,000 would receive monthly payments equal to the "fair market" rent on a two-bedroom home where they live, or a similar amount to be determined by Health and Human Services. The other half would be the control group.

67 A bipartisan group of senators led by Republican Alabama Sen. Katie Britt is calling for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to crack down on illegal offshore gaming.

The Demonic Party launders their money through NGOs. The Party in Power launders theirs through elaborate protection rackets.

This is the GOP's turn to shake the money tree. "nice offshore gaming business you have there, would be a shame if something happened to it."

68 New Jersey Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman said she is reintroducing a bill to establish a three-year guaranteed basic income pilot program that would offer a cohort of Americans across the country a no-strings-attached monthly payment — enough to cover rent for a two-bedroom home.

According to the bill, which is co-sponsored by nine other lawmakers, the pilot program would involve 20,000 people between 18 and 65 years old. Of that group, 10,000 would receive monthly payments equal to the "fair market" rent on a two-bedroom home where they live, or a similar amount to be determined by Health and Human Services. The other half would be the control group.

116 “Christian Zionists” (meaning most Evangelicals) as not real Christians at all.

If you are a theologian who has grasped Ancient Faiths such as Greek Orthodox, or under the original doctrines that were revitalized by the Reformation, or even under the teachings of the 2LCF or WCF, it is an easy argument to make that most "evangelicals" are not of the Elect.

Its also an easy argument to identify Free Will Dispensationalism as largely heretical. That said, salvation is not due to one's doctrine, its due to the regenerative work of the Paraclete. There is the Remnant that has been redeemed that have little option for communal worship and end up in these Laodecian evangelical congregations.

UBI is a money laundering operation. Its built to funnel money to dead beats and sinecures. It grants power to losers who get to decide where OPM† goes (mostly to themselves and their surrogates)

That is who benefits. The money goes somewhere.

152 So the clown judge trying to free Maryland Man stuck her thumb up her ass and squealed out, "Orange Man BAD!!!"

She writes a screed feigning great offense that Trump and his top administration "made extrajudicial statements" (you can't say bad thing about my Maryland Boyfriend on TV!) and said things "that were likely false" in ordering DHS to turn over confidential internal communications to confirm that she believes the prosecution is vindictive.

All this over the sworn statement of the US Attorney that he alone has decided every stage of the case.

She basically just did exactly what she's accusing them of: She is pre-judging the case and relying on evidence not before the court.

She is not going to listen even when SCOTUS tells her "prying into internal deliberations requires an extraordinary justification not supported by mere speculation or whims of a judge."

153 won’t even waste time pointing out 100 reasons that statement is stupid, vicious, and evil and just say that it cements my decision to never listen to or credit anything Carlson ever does or says again. To my view he is now even more loathsome than Bill Kristol.

Speaking as a black LGBT woman: welcome to the club. I hit the exact same point as you months ago, for the same reason, when Carlson was just asking questions about whether the Scofield reference Bible was actually a Rothschild plot to turn American evangelicals into cucks for Zionism. Even the Okhrana never cooked up anything that fatuous.

But unlike Owens, I don't think he's mentally ill. He's shed his skin and emerged as a new snake a couple other times in his career. I think Carlson is a pure opportunist and he smells opportunity in this moment of febrile antisemitism, like he smelled opportunity in bowtied neocon pandering, and then in rejecting that once everyone's patience wore thin with it.

But I think it's hasty to say that *anyone* is quite so loathsome as Kristol or French. At least Carlson is a conman and a demagogue instead of a conman and a throne-sniffing lickspittle.

167 "License To Kill: What Turns Normal People To Political Violence?"

Odd... my nearby hometown just had the FBI give a talk about what they call the number on threat.

"The FBI… literally decided this was one of the top threats in America right now, that this poses such a threat to our children because it’s so unseen,” Griffin said.

It’s not ISIS or some other jihadist terrorist organization; Griffin said that kind of indoctrination can take years before it manifests in violence. It’s not a group that can be neatly categorized into right or left, liberal or conservative, or Democrat or Republican, either.

It’s another beast in a category of its own: a rapidly growing online community festering with nihilistic violent extremism (NVE), with the capability of accelerating kids from initial introductions to violence within a matter of weeks.

NVE groups targeting power grid, supply chain, financial insecurities in hopes of spurring total societal collapse."

And really, isn't this the story of EBT?
People on social media are revealing that the EBT cards are sold for cash, which makes it - wait for it - guaranteed monthly income.

Not that I want riots, but as with abruptly ending USAID, won't it be interesting to see who is immediately affected by it? I don't think it will be solely unemployed unwed mommies. It's going to include all the people/businesses who were buying those EBT cards for $.50 on the dollar then using it to supply their businesses (e.g. bodegas) as well as all the businesses where the EBT cash was spent (nail salons, liquor stores, who knows?).

197 whether the Scofield reference Bible was actually a Rothschild plot to turn American evangelicals into cucks for Zionism.

I don't know about the Rothschild angle, since that family has been the Bond villein in anti-Semitic conspiracy theories for generations.

But it is a workable template for explaining why over the millennia where Jews and Christians haven't gotten along (to put it mildly) but all of a sudden the American Religion does a 180 and sucks up to national, genetic and religious Israel without reciprocation. The American Religion has gone full heretical as to have a Christ-less Salvation (aka Alternate Path) for Jews to enter into the LORD's Kingdom so that Evangelicals will quit evangelizing Jew. (because God has a Separate Plan).

The Schofield Theory is the most comprehensive explanation to date. If you have a better story, lets hear it.

Personally, I think it is entertaining, but largely immaterial to me since I don't subscribe to the American Religion, and Jews are not as homogenous as Evangelicals propose.

Sliwa has largely been ignored by the press and really doesn't have much exposure and the exposure he gets is negative.

Scofield wrote his reference Bible as an outgrowth of John Darby's dispensationalist theology, and that, regardless of its theological merits or flaws, it's all based on their reading of scripture, and not some centuries long conspiracy by fortune-telling weather controllers to further a Zionist cause which didn't even yet exist, in a time when no Jewish State had existed for a millennium and a half, and nobody could have foreseen one being established at any point in the near future.

234 *Because the font of their inspiration is that snarling den of demons roiling in hell.

Its the 800# gorilla in the room.

While I'm on a bash the American Religion roll, the Evangelicals have largely abandoned the idea that people are integrated with the spirit world, and has replaced much of that thought with philosophical Materialism to the point of losing the vocabulary to understand the spirit world.

Evidence of this is rather broad, from accepting every form of non 7 Day Creation hypothesis, to secular psychological counseling and materialistic alterations to key doctrines.

While not a Greek Orthodox, I think of all the current denominations, they are closest to understanding and preserving the spiritual intertwining.

236 The Schofield Theory is the most comprehensive explanation to date. If you have a better story, let’s hear it.“

Sophists and intellectuals throughout the centuries have always tried to over complicate and “explain” beliefs through some gnostic reliance on “secret knowledge.” What evangelicals believe (mostly, they have no central authority) is extremely simple. Sola Scriptura, as Luther said. Evangelicals believe that the things said plainly and clearly in the scriptures are True, and need no explanations or doctrines or church teachings to explain them. That’s it. So what does the Bible say about Israel?

Mainstream leftism has been an openly poat-factual ideology since at least Lenin, though you might argue it went wrong not long after the tennis court thing in France.

Whether they change their mind is irrelevant. The only thing progs believe is that what is morally right is what is on their mind right now, BECAUSE it is on their mind - they are the only yardstick that matters in their world.

In all seriousness, part of the Mamdani phenomenon, and the related growth of "socialism" in the circles of young, highly educated Democrats is that the traditional jobs you'd get as a humanities major from fancy liberal arts colleges--publishing, media, paralegal--have disappeared
1/You are an under-30 graduate in English, Art History, etc from the likes of Vassar, Smith, Oberlin, and move to NYC to make your fortune like prior generations. You aren't likely to get a job at the Times, or Harper & Collins, or Sullivan & Cromwell.
2/So you find yourself working retail or waiting tables, and you are seething with resentment. You did everything you were supposed to. You were a star high school student, you checked every box to get into an elite college, you won the social justice essay competition in your freshman writing seminar.

260 Part 2 - Israel and the Christian Bible.
Genesis 12:
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”

History moves, men do evil and fall away, but God’s promises are eternal. He keeps them for his Own Names sake, and no man on earth by his actions, or by his evil can add or take away one word of them. Note that in v 3 this promise is not applied to all peoples of the earth, just to Abraham’s descendants. All others can either recognize it and be blest, or deny it and be cursed by God himself.

That is what the great majority of Evangelicals believe. There is nothing more complicated to it than that.

267 My proposition is that AI represents a greater threat to humanity than the A-bomb and its nuclear progeny.

The threat, of course, is a kind of polar opposite -- a silent and corrosive destruction of humanity as opposed to a sudden and unspeakably explosive one.

At the advent of the A-bomb, a great anxiety erupted about its dangers to civilization, the possibility of impulsive use triggering civilization-ending destruction. Yet the weaponry had its own conspicuous and innate deterrent -- mutually assured destruction. But AI is a stealth destroyer, an impossibly, irresistibly seductive and covert agent of annihilation of reality, social trust, and humanity.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make it puerile. It just means that you are closed minded and therefore can't consider it.

Darby, in my opinionated is one of the Four Horsemen of the post Late Enlightenment Romanticism era who attacked Christianity as much as Darwin, Nietzsche and Marx.

Its interesting in that Darby's perversion has mostly just infected the US and was the instigator of pushing a neo-Remontstrant Free Will theism that has been the foundation for deconstructing orthodox Christianity into the abomination that it currently manifests itself.

There are signs that this cancer is mostly constrained to the US and hasn't metastasized.

I have been asked "Does God have a plan for the (geo) nation of Israel", and my answer is "Yes, because the nation of Israel currently exists". Dispensationalism in the US might be a significant player in the Eastern Mediterranean nation's existence.

277 "why black people don’t tip

My friend who is originally from PA but moved to NC 20 yrs ago was a p/t bartender. Her number one complaint was that black patrons DID NOT tip or they would leave a tip not worth picking up. It was the same complaint from all the bartenders. Living among black folks I have seen the racist discriminatory behavior when black folks are served by black folks or white folks. It's a very legitimate question. And if you have enough sense you should know exactly why black folks don't freely hand over their money to white folks.

288 House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., is demanding the Department of Justice (DOJ) conduct a "comprehensive" investigation into former President Joe Biden’s autopen use.

The committee’s GOP majority released a 100-page report on Tuesday morning detailing findings from its monthslong probe into Biden’s White House, specifically whether his inner circle covered up signs of mental decline in the ex-president, and if that alleged cover-up extended to executive actions signed via autopen without Biden’s full awareness.

"Faced with the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden, White House aides — at the direction of the inner circle — hid the truth about the former president’s condition and fitness for office," the report said.

337 Sophists and intellectuals throughout the centuries have always tried to over complicate and “explain” beliefs through some gnostic reliance on “secret knowledge.”

Evangelicals are dead wrong on this matter. If Evangelicals truly were Sola Scriptura (and if they actually subscribed to the other "solas" like Sola Gratia - which they reject) they would ponder 1 Corithinas 2:14, which, in my opinion is one of the most profound passages in Scripture.

The "gnosticism" in this case, would be the Divine enlightnment born by the Paraclete. The Bible is a closed book to all who read outside of the understanding provided spiritually through the Holy Spirit.

Evangelicals, use their Free Will to interpret Scripture without Spiritual guidance, but through their own arrogance. Ergo, the numerous heresies that plague Evangelicals.

There’s the split. Evangelicals, in general, believe it is up to each man and woman to read the Word, talk to God, and decide for themselves. Luther’s doctrines are a good starting point for discussion, but ultimately have no more authority than the pope’s, or that of any other man.

She knows. Maybe not the fine details, but she knows -- and she wants the voters to think she doesn't.

See Hillary's mantra "I do not recall. . ." when interviewed about her email server.

363 People were trying to erase the Jews for 2 thousands years

Well, longer than that. The Scriptures make it plain that Stan has been trying to erase the Jewish people since Abraham.

I understand the Jew Hate. Ethnic Jews are overrepresented in the top cerebral skills like law, medicine and finance. The patent office proves this, the world benefits greatly from this.

How I understand the Jew Hate is that loser look at the successes and the tendency of Jewish people to "move to the front of the room" that is both intimidating and a reminder of the waste of life their haters have become.

This was a huge theme in The Eternal Jew. Part of the presentation shows how Jews dominate the merchant and high skill set occupations, then inexplicably compares them to rats that need extermination.

I can't comprehend this cognitive dissonance, only to explain it that these haters don't have much in the way of abstract reasoning skills. it was by mere luck and hidden mystery that ethnic Jews dominate? Whatever, what a person doesn't understand they must destroy. Right?

365 There’s the split. Evangelicals, in general, believe it is up to each man and woman to read the Word, talk to God, and decide for themselves.

So Evangelicals reject the idea of standing on the shoulders of those who came before them? No catechisms, its every person starts from scratch?

Even the Baptists looked upon the Westminster Confession and adopted it largely intact while just changing some of the Covenant teachings and mode of water baptism producing the 1689 London Confession.

Evangelicals reject their heritage and wing-it on syncretizing the Op-Ed section of the NYT with proof texting portions of the Bible.

46 Our County Tax Assessor's Office, during a recent audit could not find our original homeowners application for the 4%, vs the regular 6% tax ratio on our home.

Which caused the recent annual tax bill to jump from about $1,800.00 to almost $7,000.00 dollars.

Thank goodness that the very competent head of that office accepted our electronically filed re-application, and within two hours of my first talking to her, the process was completed, the application was approved and the new task force bill was generated.

I've got that same problem, although slightly different.

My father was supposed to refile for the Homestead exemption after my mother died because both of their names are on the deed. He never got around to it.

And now I've got around $4000 to pay by January instead of $1400, or whatever it was at the lower rate.

I'm the only person here, and it's the only place I live. The paperwork requirements for the application are a bear, and the house isn't even in my name for awhile.

Quite the pickle. I guess I'm going to have to pay it all.

57 Evening and morning, late toilers and early risers ever'where! 'Tis Tiu's Day yet again.

Nightmare last night, the first of two long dream sequences. Apparently I was still at my old job, and I found my boss had "volunteered" me to travel to Ann Arbor, MI, for a conference -- tomorrow. I rushed out to someplace like a bank to finish paying for my ticket with coupons (?!) and .60 in cash. At my office again, somebody asked me what the conference was called, and I looked it up. "Anger, Anxiety, and Hermeneutics." (Yes, I have words like that in my dreams.)

I asked my boss why he chose me to go to this thing. "You come across well on camera."

It was not a direct flight; I was to change planes at "Kanh Cahn Do" airport. I was frantically looking that up (Vietnam???) when I snapped awake.

It was an interesting weekend. I got a phone call I was not looking forward to, but in the end, after a few texts, I think it's all sorted out. I'll finish with it later this week.

A rare occurrence on Sunday - I was starting work on a new opening chapter of my novel and actually managed to pump out the whole thing in the course of the day, which is very unusual. And even more unusual, I actually don't hate it.

On the other hand, the post for my forthcoming tooth implant fell out last night. I'll have to call the dentist once I clear away the work waiting for me.

60 Second dream was more pleasant. I took off, driving west, in a co-worker's diesel work truck. At some points it seemed like an Econoline van with a broken rear door, in others it seemed like an eighteen-wheeler's cab.

Early on, I stopped for food, not at a truck stop but at a modern downtown office building, parking the truck in the lobby. The area was unfamiliar to me. I asked at the counter where I could get diesel fuel. "Oh, there's Ellen's just up the road. About $2.00 a gallon." (Apparently I was traveling in time as well as space.) I'd come a ways, but still had half a tank, so I pushed on through rainy weather along the Interstate to . . . well, somewhere. I woke up as I got into busy traffic approaching a metro area like Birmingham or Nashville, though in the dream I did not think it was either.

69 We watched Jurassic World: Rebirth with Scarlett Johanssen last night, and I enjoyed it. The film is set in the very near future, thirty-four years after the original adventure in '94. The climate, colder than they evolved in, and other Earth conditions have killed off most of the dinosaurs created, and the public has basically lost interest in seeing them. So they live only on islands close to the equator. People are enjoined from going there.

A company wants to get DNA samples from three of the largest living species, to develop a medicine against heart disease. Promising ten mil, they recruit "situational security" expert Zora (Scarlett), and she recruits guys she's worked with, to go to one island off the coast of South America. Difficulties ensue.

It's fun, with a very different tone from that of the earlier films, almost sad in places.

Masked Teen Cousins' Prank Terrifies Family in Alexandria, Police Confirm
Last updated
10 hours ago

On October 14, 2025, three masked teenagers banged on the door of a family home in Alexandria, Virginia's Old Town neighborhood, shouting death threats and damaging property, leading to fears of a home invasion. After over 100 hours of investigation, Alexandria Police revealed the suspects were the homeowner Shayla Whiteside's teenage cousins, orchestrated by a relative for a video, with adults and a child filming nearby. No charges were filed as the family chose not to press them, but authorities condemned the stunt's recklessness, noting it nearly escalated when an armed relative arrived.

94 Accuracy and precision are technical terms that laypeople often get mixed up. Accuracy is how close you are to the right (or at least sufficient) answer, precision is how close you are to the precise answer. For example 1.5 may be the accurate and sufficient answer to a question but the more precise answer may be 1.50000201809812.

It's kind of like how pi is used. The accurate and usually sufficient answer is 3.14, but you can get much more precise than that. Don't remember how far out they've calculate it but it's a crap load of numbers.

105 Accuracy and precision are technical terms that laypeople often get mixed up. Accuracy is how close you are to the right (or at least sufficient) answer, precision is how close you are to the precise answer. For example 1.5 may be the accurate and sufficient answer to a question but the more precise answer may be 1.50000201809812.

Part of the problem with modern science is that the practitioners are often very precisely wrong, because they focus on precision instead of on accuracy. If the accurate answer is 1.5 they'll tell you it is 26.234098...

Companies like that have gotten way too comfortable behaving like this.

I had them years ago. I needed some orthotic inserts for my feet that they said were covered. I went to the doctor and got charged about $900 for them. Called from the office and they said that they don't support that. I gave them the date I called and the name of the person but they would not budge.

Finally the doctor said "Don't worry. I'll take care of this." Never had any follow up bill. I think he forced them to play back the recording of the call.

116 By the time you get to a 4k laptop screen, that drops to 1%.

This was the problem with people buying stereos/speakers back in the day. Well, there were two. One was that most people couldn't distinguish sounds as well as the really high-end speakers and systems could churn out. Especially if they listened to loud music loudly.

The other was all the people cranking the speakers WAY up to see how good they were - when that, in particular, covers up the sorts of details it's claiming to be able to produce. My dad always turned the speakers way down and listened to some classical music (because it's got lots of sound details of different sorts in it). If he could hear all of those details at low volume, then the speaker was a good one.

But people are impressed by big numbers. (See previous rants about "experts.")

The Quotes of The Day

Quote I

"We've had a tremendous amount of interest since we announced that we were exploring the pro league earlier this year. I think that really just shows the strong belief in, and the demand for, a professional flag league for both women and men."Stephanie Kwok, the NFL's vice president and head of NFL Flag

Quote II

‘Don’t have them in your home. Take every precaution you can. Listen to your gut. I never thought it would happen to my child.’ Clare Gillespie

Insanity. Doing the same shit but expecting better results.

Even as our uneducated media goes bonkers over another Musk kerfuffle, this time with interim NASA administration Sean Duffy, it is ignoring what now appears to be a strong effort by NASA to cover up some serious issues with the Orion capsule’s heat shield, issues that might be far more serious than outlined in a May 2024 inspector general (IG) report.

That IG report [pdf] found the following:

Specifically, portions of the char layer wore away differently than NASA engineers predicted, cracking and breaking off the spacecraft in fragments that created a trail of debris rather than melting away as designed (see Figure 3 [shown to the right]). The unexpected behavior of the Avcoat creates a risk that the heat shield may not sufficiently protect the capsule’s systems and crew from the extreme heat of reentry on future missions. Moreover, while there was no evidence of impact with the Crew Module, the quantity and size of the debris could have caused enough structural damage to cause one of Orion’s parachutes to fail. Should the same issue occur on future Artemis missions, it could lead to the loss of the vehicle or crew.

In our judgment, the unexpected behavior of the heat shield poses a significant risk to the safety of
future crewed missions. [emphasis mine]

That Roger Goodell could not say "There will be no men in women's spaces in the NFL" without holding a meeting or giving it some deep thought is pathetic.

Q: "Mr Goodell, would you consider pouring raw sewage on your fans?"

I saw your Social Security q the other evening and wanted to add that my experience in 2024 was consistent with what Moki wrote - about two months with payment backdated to when you applied.

The surprise for us was in buying the Medigap Insurance. You can't start Medigap until the Medicare Part B shows active, and then it starts the first of the next month. So just want to build that in if it applies. We had COBRA as a backup but turned out we didn't need it.

74 A few months ago I fell into a bottomless thing about Jim Morrison. No idea of course where this was, because I barely remember yesterday.

As it is probably known by many (not me, apparently) it is rumored he was not really dead and buried in Paris. Longish story is that he lived into his 60's somewhere in New England. Turning white haired with a beard and a simple job. However, the same scar. His close friends knew and a wife he had.

All I really know is he led a pretty messed up life from childhood and it appared his father was a pedo, leading him to further wildness and drugs. And could be a complete arsehole at times.

An extra hour of 2025 will be fine with me as it's been a good year with President Trump and a new granddaughter. No complaints.

They act the way they do because they know the fans will never drscooters.

Roger Goodell could air an ad during the Super Bowl in a room full of stacks and stacks of paper, saying "what you see behind me is a list of the names and addresses of every weekly NFL viewer in the country. The NFL is proud to announce its new partnership with DoorDash, wherein Dashers will be sent to take a shit on every one of their front porches, every week during football season."

There would be no noticeable drop in ratings. Just schlubs in their jerseys high fiving each other after the games, while they clean the NFL's poop off their houses and lawns with little Official NFL pooper scoopers.

I remember the comments of the pre-Robert Beckoning Chasm. Seemed so sad and grumpy sometimes (not to be confused with Grumpy & Recalcitrant), made me feel a little sad for him.

I thought it was a good thing when he acquired a cat. Looked forward to him being more upbeat and positive. Instead, he just projected all his grumpy off on the cat. I can't judge - that may be improvement - but it still makes me feel a little sad… for the cat.

This fatal chain of events began on July 20, when Airman Lovan was killed in a suspected on-duty incident involving the Sig Sauer-produced M18, immediately triggering a base-wide and then command-wide pause on use of the pistol.

Posted by: OrangeEnt

Of course he won't. This is big business and big bucks. Even if he wants to, the penalty clauses in the contracts with Jay-Z and Loathsome Lupus would cost the owners enough that he might lose his job. Face it, this year's Big Game halftime show is a lost cause.
But, there is a ray of sunshine. If enough people tune out, and especially if they tune in to deliberate counterprogramming, we won't see this shit next year, with an added benefit of maybe never seeing Goodell rancid puss again.
TPUSA is attempting to put together this counter. I have no doubt that they will get some big name country acts and hopefully the equivalent Rock people, but the real problem is, as usual, perception.

That program can get millions of views on streaming media, but without "broadcast" presence it will make little impact. It needs to be picked up by some large-footprint operation. There's no way that you'll ever see it on any OTA outlet, but if multiple cable (satellite) channels handle it, it will show up in the Nielsens, and be un-ignorable.
I'd love to see Fox but their money with their mouth is - most of their commenters have made snide remarks about the show - but they aren't going to imperil their corporate relations with the NFL.

Posted by: rickb223 Acehole Extraordinaire coined by JSpicy at October 27, 2025 10:17 PM (UjDHi)

I went without a dog for quite awhile. I love my cats, they were enough, and I wasn’t sure I wanted the work of a dog. I knew exactly who that work would fall on despite promises to the contrary. But I said fine, finally, however it had to be a Shiba Inu. Can I just tell you how stupid we all are over my dog? J, who wanted a “real” dog, is insane about this cotton ball. Get a doggie. Or a cat. Or both.

You can also get personal with him by reminding him that he was such a DF that he put regular dish soap into his dishwasher and had to call out a repair man (ME!) to get rid of a kitchen full of soap suds.

121 Is the Orion capsule the same as the one with the wonky thrusters that nearly lost the crew and left them stranded for a year at the space station?

Orion, the actual constellation, is very prominent here on the mesa top. The eastern sky generally seems a bit darker than the rest of the sky and the stars especially contrast with a black velvety background.

Captain, I had shingles in my left eye/ear when I was 19. IT was about six weeks in duration, but that was back before the antivirals they can give you now. If your ophthalmologist didn't suggest it, you may want to see your primary care physician to see if he can prescribe them.

129 Years ago, road trips were problematic, at least in rural areas or away from big interstates. Gas stations didn’t have much selection like they do now, not even a little bit. A couple vending machines, that was about it.

Those beef stick cheddar stick combo packs were the best. They were so old they’d pick up a hint of 90 weight gear oil from the adjacent service bay. A can of ice cold OG Mountain Dew, and gtg for another 250 miles.

200 ASCENDtials;
After repetitive questioning DDG AI coughed this up.

The specific funding sources for ASCENDtials are not widely disclosed in publicly available information. However, based on recent data, here are some entities and individuals that have been associated with their funding:

Name/Entity Details
City of San Diego Partnering for Self-Sufficiency Services.
Individual Donors Contributions from community members and supporters.
Corporate Sponsorships While names are not specified, partnerships typically include local businesses aligned with community support.

Unfortunately, specific names of individual donors or corporations are often not published for privacy reasons and would typically be found in the organization's Form 990 tax filings submitted to the IRS, where notable contributions may be listed.

For the exact names of donors or corporate sponsors, reviewing ASCENDtials’ financial disclosures or contacting them directly may provide the most accurate information.

If you do web searches on the company or the name of its president, some interesting things come up.

Tatonisha Mika Marzette runs this business out of an apartment in San Diego. Got an SBA paycheck protection plan (Covid grift) loan in 2021. $17K.

From the Ascendtials company web site:

KOS is (Knowledge Of Self) and Melanin is a black biochemical substance that everyone has that drives emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual life. Melanin is found in the environment, springs, lakes, soil, plants, animals, and the atmosphere. The Pineal Gland secretes melanin, which regulates all functions and glands in the body. Black Bodies have the highest concentration of this biochemical but aren’t aware of how to nourish it or gain positive usage from it. It is necessary to know thyself in order to solve what plagues us most, and that is racial problems. But it is also necessary, should we want to transform our lives and all those with lesser quantities of it.

and blah blah blah, it goes on like that for quite a while. Racist turboquackery. They apparently get paid to hold consciousness raising sessions about melanin and the evil white man, who has little melanin.

I already took that fall, LOL. Mama is a prize, too. "Don't keep aerosol cans in the house, so the kids can't huff them." Same mentality that wants to ban guns when some deranged tranny uses one to shoot up a school. How about you teach your kids not to try every dumb stunt they see on TikTok? Or how about you don't let your kids have smart phones?

Of course those idiots will expect the buses to be free, clean, and friendly on Day One of his mayoralty. And where's my $30/hr minimum wage? Where's my local free childcare center? Thank God my rent won't go up for the next four years!

301 Butane is anesthetic and a disinfectant.

My personal carry all working in the yard or general purpose is Dermoplast First Aid, it's the last of its kind and I don't know why.
It uses butane as a propellant and Benzethonium Chloride as the disinfectant along with some benzocaine.
--------

Used the style for years, put it in first aid kits in all my trucks.
Concept is to put the nozzle right up to the wound. It blows out debris with disinfectant. I've talked to Dr.s about it and they turn up there noses. Out of all my people and personal use it is the best thing for small wounds (step on a nail? cut yourself on a piece of raw metal) ever.

305 Back to work on the Avanti this afternoon. Got the alternator mount sorted out. Found a slightly longer belt that permits me to lay the alternator down to the right a little, so the adjusting ear is not so close to the underside of the hood. This required a longer belt tension adjusting brace, so I cut the original and welded an extension into it. Looks like factory, now.

Move on to alternator wiring, now. Shift harnesses around, lengthen some wires, trim others. Alternator and regulator migrated from left side of engine to right side. Un-clutters the left fender apron a bunch, and transfers some of it to the right fender apron. Overall, more balanced, hopefully.

347 You gotta flick the extra fluid off a zippo. Only soak the cotton to where it just barley makes it to the top, wait 3 minutes and flick the remaining fluid off.

372 Speaking as a black LGBT woman, I'd like to thank the Horde for last week's advice on my potentially switching to another bank due to my branch being located in the middle of what might as well be Leningrad in the Soviet State.

It turns out that my national bank doesn't really associate my account with its original physical branch. Instead it assigns a branch and representative based on the account's mailing address.

My mailing address are in a relatively sane distant city and state. So there is no need to switch banks or branch.

17 I will put this on the prayer thread as well, but this may be something that comes to a head before Saturday:

Littlest Kidlet just texted me that she has filed a police report against a roommate for assault, based on advice from Inspector. The roommate had *seemed* very nice at first, but turns out to be bipolar and self medicating with alcohol. LK is worried the roommate will retaliate for having the police involved because she has already threatened a different roommate and said she won't allow police in "her" home. Prayer for safety for all involved, and mental healing for the bipolar roommate "M" would be appreciated.

When I used to catch Dave Ramsey on the radio sometimes, and he talked about when you are trying to drastically pay down your debt, "beans and rice, rice and beans." That was his mantra. Eat as thriftily as possible. Save the nice celebration meals for when you finally paid down the debt.

She could come home, since she's actually there as an assistant for her best friend (there are 4 roommates total) who *can't* leave because she's taking major engineering classes. Prayers for her "C" would be welcome as well because she has psoriatic arthritis and the sort of stress this situation is causing is likely to cause a flare up. "M" is supposed to be moving out soon, but the others are worried about what she'll do to them in the meantime.

I used to know some single moms on food stamps, with little kids at home. The last two months of the year were the hardest. They knew had to cook and made their own bread but the holidays were at the end of the month and they had to stretch things out for the holidays.

Still, I thought food assistance was untouchable. I mean, people need to eat, and there are some legitimate cases. Do they go without food, or will states be picking up the slack?

The only point I disagreed with Dave on was "sell your stuff". I suppose maybe mentally it is good to become not owned by your stuff, but for things you enjoy and will replace once you are out of debt it doesn't make sense to me to yard sale it and then have to buy it again in a couple years.

The good news is that there were no layoffs, no merging of departments, no redundant positions being rendered useless. In a sense we will still be who we are currently. I have the same bosses and coworkers. Day to day should be normal.

Still, I lost my last job because of a merger. Also, I am nearing 60. Yay.

Pretty much. I can't really blame Martin for putting his heels up and basking in the fame while GoT was still viral.

Last few seasons made me appreciate writers more. Sure, translating a book into a movie requires a specific skill set, but apparently writing a script from scratch is not part of it.

I think David Benioff and D.B. Weiss got lost once they started planning their Star Wars trilogy. Season 8 appeared to be written by someone who hadn't followed the series or the books.

154 the student loans is bad. Like "where were these people's parents?" Sure at 18 or 19 you might not think through on taking out huge debt for a degree that is not likely to get you a decent salary in relation to that debt, but your parents should have told you 'no way'.

But people can dig out of that debt hole. They can eat at home, and get a 2nd job delivering pizza instead of going out 2-3 nights a week. That is why Dave takes all the calls from people who succeeded in getting out of debt. Those calls and me enjoying Dave's accent is why I tuned into him while driving. But I wasn't a huge fan to where I downloaded the podcast to catch the whole show instead of just the hour on my drive and I didn't miss it enough to do podcast when my commute ended either, it was just more entertaining then music radio that always plays only the hit songs. And yes, I'm a luddite and I still haven't set up my vehicles to use spotify etc.

173 What makes me cringe is hearing people making $40K a year at some stupid job, with $200K in student loans, and another $50K in credit card debt.

I'm sorry, if that was me, I might be seriously contemplating robbing a bank or suicide.
Posted by: BurtTC at October 27, 2025 08:20 PM (Vow2E)


That was my ex-GF. She couldn't give up her credit cards, she couldn't not work, she couldn't get ahead on her debts
Once she put her credit cards into a box and gave them to me to keep, and later admitted it was cards like her copy-machine card.

Dave is pretty accurate. If you have an issue with debt, half measures are not going to save you any more than "Just drink on the weekends" is going to help an alcoholic.

236 Boenos Nachos, gentes. Just popped in to post some comments because I didn't know what else to do with them.

Simon Whistler, on his Sideprojects channel, covers "5 Ancient Mysteries...That Turned Out to be Hoaxes". Four out of five were easy, well-known targets, including crystal skulls and Piltdown Man.

But "number five will surprise you," as he (or anyway his writers) targets the Shroud of Turin. Whistler enjoys attacking religious beliefs. Here, his mis- and missing information is glaring to anyone who has followed the research into the Shroud. There were a couple of things I'd never heard before, including the blood stains being dye and jam! Pretty shoddy research. Missed a lot.

Several commenters tried to fill in the missing info, but, oh, yuck, after reading some of the "no it isn't" comments I felt like I needed a shower. Usual for YouTube.

The URL if you want it, but I don't recommend it.

250 But "number five will surprise you," as he (or anyway his writers) targets the Shroud of Turin. Whistler enjoys attacking religious beliefs. Here, his mis- and missing information is glaring to anyone who has followed the research into the Shroud. There were a couple of things I'd never heard before, including the blood stains being dye and jam! Pretty shoddy research. Missed a lot.

After Years of Attacking Their Enemies as Nazis and Urging Violence Against Them, the Democrats Celebrate Their New Fake Working-Class Nazi Because He's Also a Communist and "Antifa Supersoldier"

If you're an-Nazi and you don't see a path for redemption, I've got great news for you: It's super-easy, barely an inconvenience.

Just declare yourself a communist and train your "socialist resistance" militia members in how to murder cops and government officials.

According to a new poll, a majority of young Democrats still back Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner following fallout over his chest tattoo.

...


Platner is a first-time political candidate, veteran, and oyster farmer, who has positioned himself as critical of the Democratic establishment, describes himself as a "foe of the oligarchy," on social media, and has been endorsed by Senator Bernie Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party.


...

The recent poll comes from a SoCal Strategies Survey of the Democratic Primary for Senate in Maine. It found that initially, Mills held a 5-point lead over Platner (41 percent to 36 percent), with a fifth of respondents saying they were undecided.

When voters were informed of the scandal surrounding Platner's tattoo, Mills' lead increased 30 points (59 percent to 29 percent).

Despite this general shift, Platner's lead with young people has stayed strong. Among voters aged between 18 and 29, Platner had a lead (56 percent to 17 percent) against Mills. Support among these voters continued when they were informed of Platner's tattoo scandal, with the demographic favoring him (52 percent to 31 percent.)

This primary doesn't go off until next year. I don't see Platner bowing out, given that he's so far ahead, which means the Democrats are all-in on the Nazi Antifa Supersoldier.

Note that he's not just training Antifa in how to shoot guns for sport. He specifically says that semiautomatic rifles, so despised by the left when in the hands of law-abiding citizens, may be necessary to "fight fascism."

From The Atlantic's Alice-in-Wonderland piece pondering the Democrats' new "tolerance" for once-#cancellable speech, like declaring yourself a Nazi.


Last week, though, CNN released a report revealing Platner's Reddit history under the username "P-Hustle." In 2021, he referred to himself as "a communist," and said that all cops are bastards. Other news outlets soon found additional posts: Platner suggested in 2018 that semiautomatic rifles are necessary to "fight fascism," and in various posts from 2013, made insensitive remarks about sexual assault and asked, "Why don't black people tip?"

The article notes that the Punch-a-Nazi Democrats are suddenly pro-Nazi. Nazism, they say, is a youthful indiscretion.

But for now, at least, the Democratic party is not calling on Platner to step down. Ken Martin, the head of the DNC, said that Platner's online comments were "hurtful" but not "disqualifying," and that the choice is up to primary voters. Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona, who is neutral in the race, said, "Everyone has a right to grow and grow out of their stupidity." Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico said, "Graham has made a lot of mistakes in his life. He's had a very long journey to the place where he is today, but he's owned those mistakes, owned up to them, and he's evolved." Khanna called the tattoo "horrendous," but said: "Do we want our political governing class to be like the classmates I had at Yale Law School, some of them who dreamed of being president of the United States from the age of twelve?" He continued, "Or do we want normal people also having a chance at these offices?" Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats, said, "He went through a dark period. He's not the only one in America who has gone through a dark period." He continued, "I'm confident that he's going to run a great campaign and that he's going to win." A poll released yesterday, conducted as the news about Platner's past was breaking, found him leading his Democratic primary opponent Maine governor Janet Mills by 34 points.

And then the article discovers The Real Villain Here. Can you guess who?


Democrats' apparent willingness to stick with Platner may be an acknowledgment that the question of which behavior is disqualifying to voters is more uncertain now than it used to be. Where is the line on internet speech and basic decency, for example, when the White House conducts politics by meme, and the governor of California's X account has resorted to open trolling?

Oh well that's the same as literally branding yourself with Nazi symbols. We were all young and irresponsible and interested in theories of a mystical Aryan race and Aryan supremacy, right?

Even some Democrats notice the shift from "Punch a Nazi" to "Vote for a Nazi."



Many of his supporters, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), are standing by him for now. And recent polling has suggested Platner is far more popular than Gov. Janet Mills, his top Democratic rival, raising the question of whether voters will overlook his baggage as the party seeks a new generation of leaders who could appeal to a broader demographic.

"I think Donald Trump has changed our politics for a long time, some for the good and some for the bad," Rocha told The Hill. "One thing for the good, in my opinion, he's done is proven that folks don't have to be perfect. They can have some rough edges and that America is pretty forgiving."

But other Democrats say they're not willing to be forgiving of Platner.

"I do not understand how we can go from having a subset of the party that is obsessed with calling Donald Trump a Nazi to then going to vast lengths to excuse a Nazi tattoo," said one unnamed Democratic strategist.

Platner's allies say it's not fair to compare his tattoo to what they argue is Trump's authoritarian style of governing.

"There is a huge difference between a Republican that supports Trump's gestapo-like tactics, sweeping people off the street with no due process and shipping them to El Salvador, and who has a Nazi symbol associated with themselves," said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. gr

"One is somebody confirming a whole ideology that they actually believe in, and in Graham Platner's case, it's an unfortunate bump in the road," he added.

Last week, CNN's K-File reviewed posts that Platner once wrote on Reddit in 2020 and 2021 in which he criticized police officers, showed frustration and disillusionment about his time serving in the military and spoke about being a "communist" and a "socialist."

And earlier this week, the LGBTQ news magazine The Advocate published past Reddit posts from Platner, which he originally posted under the handle P-Hustle, from 2016-21, in which he used vulgar, antigay slurs and used the word "gay" as an insult.

When I -- and commenters -- use "gay" as an insult, the site gets blocked from every workplace as a "hate site" and subjected to a worldwide corporate advertising embargo.

When the Nazi uses "gay" as an insult, he gets praised for being (fake) "working class" and "blue collar."

Meanwhile, Chris Murphy has been branding everyone supporting Trump as a Nazi for years.

And now? Second look at Naziism.

Someone added that they did "moderate" -- after all, their effeminate men tried to butch up by wearing beards.

22 The same people supporting antifa have spent the past two years clamoring to promote genocidal antisemites attempting to murder ten million Israelis, so it shouldn't be too surprising they don't consider a nazi tattoo disqualifying for a Senate candidate.

48 Apparently a lefty I know in NYC, who sometimes helps her family out with bills, had to break the news that she can't help out with Thanksgiving dinner groceries this year. Since her SNAP benefits will all be cut. I'm sorry, but...

IF YOU HAVE ENOUGH FOOD STAMP MONEY TO GIVE EXTRA TO RELATIVES, YOU HAVE TOO MUCH FOOD STAMP MONEY.

They are not remittances. They are to supplement your own food budget. I feel less bad now about the food stamps being cut at Thanksgiving.

Apparently also NYC food banks are getting overrun with panicked people.

It sucks, but that is where we are at. The 2025 Texans are not good in a fair game, so beating the 49ers must mean that the 49ers did not play a real game.
If the 49ers and any other top ranked NFL team wish to prove me wrong, then they need to demand that no sports betting be advertised wherever those games are broadcast.

All of the losers posting that they are going to just steal from stores if they can't get their food stamps on time appear to be somewhat threatening, so the plea is for men to do the shopping until food stamps get figured out.

I believe they expect a lot of angry black folks attacking grocery stores, etc.

I think it is probably mostly bluster, but then I didn't think people would horde toilet paper.

Fun fact: the geniuses claiming his work for Blackwater is disqualifying are the exact same geniuses who will tear you a new asshole for daring to point out that in his McKinsey days Buttigieg made a bunch of "cost efficiency" spreadsheets for corporations who then coincidentally jumped on the mass layoffs bandwagon.

Hilarious to be equivocating being a consultant to being a fucking mercenary. Absolutely fucking shameless behavior to be lying that he didn't know what the tattoo was too. Yall are a cancer to our party. 

It’s cool how none of the articles or posts ever quote directly the "disqualifying comments." Just vaguely characterizing his statements negatively without bringing any receipts to have a real discussion about.

191 I heard an interesting take on the potential SNAP crisis in CO on Friday. 600K people in this state get SNAP bennies. Not quite 3rd world where it would not be 10% is 'poor' and most people are rich (it is expensive to live here) but the other way around but still 10%, that is crazy for a rich state. That amounts to 120 millilon a month in SNAP bennies according to the radio show.

Pole-smokers 'plan' in case of no fed funds for SNAP cards is ask the legislature to appropriate 10 million from the general fund to replace that 120 million and "go to food banks". The food banks do not have that extra capacity. The guest who is running to be the R nominee for governor pointed out that Colorado has a 270 million emergency fund and instead of some piddling less than 10% of the monthly amount and an attack on our TABOR amendment where voters have to approve tax increases, the governor could declare an emergency and use the emergency funds to fill everyones SNAP cards the normal amount.

I tend to think "let them eat beans and rice" but a lot of these supposedly poor people have no idea how to cook a damn thing and many probably only have a microwave for kitchen appliance.

The left continues embracing and promoting assassination culture.

An anarchist with a lengthy rap sheet has been arrested for allegedly putting a $45,000 hit out on US Attorney General Pam Bondi on TikTok, according to the feds.

Tyler Maxon Avalos, 29, was nabbed on Oct. 16 after a tipster alerted the FBI to the alleged murder-for-hire plot the suspect had blasted out on social media earlier this month.

The chilling post included a photo of Bondi with a "sniper-scope red dot" on her forehead with the caption: "WANTED: Pam Bondi / REWARD: 45,000 ' DEAD OR ALIVE / (PREFERABLY DEAD)," court documents charge.

Underneath the photo, Avalos allegedly added: "Cough cough. When they don't serve us, then what?"

The feds allege Avalos, who has a prior history of convictions, has anarchist ties and noted that his TikTok username was "Wacko" -- an apparent anarchy symbol.


His profile also brandished a link to "An Anarchist FAQ book," according to court filings.

Avalos has a lengthy criminal history, including prior raps for stalking and domestic assault, records show.

Taylor Lorenz wants to date him.

Speaking of Bondi: She's putting Pelosi on notice about her incitement against ICE agents.

Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a blunt warning late Thursday to top Democrat leaders threatening Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, saying anyone who targets federal officers enforcing deportation laws could face arrest. The warning came after reports that Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, and other Democrat leaders were exploring ways to arrest or expose ICE agents operating in their jurisdictions.

"You cannot disclose the identity of a federal agent, where they live, or anything that can harm them," Bondi said during an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters. She confirmed that Pelosi and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins had each received formal letters from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche cautioning them against interfering with ICE operations.

During the interview, Bondi revealed that she had ordered Pelosi to preserve her emails in connection with an ongoing investigation. "You are impeding an investigation, and we will charge you. If they think I won't, they have not met me," she said. The exchange quickly drew national attention after Watters shared the clip on X, noting Bondi's warning came after Pelosi "ordered ICE to be arrested."


John Brennan is claiming that he's innocent and that Trump is just out for revenge.

Trouble is, John Brennan is incandescently guilty of everything he's charged with.


HOW JOHN BRENNAN LIED TO CONGRESS. The Justice Department is evaluating a criminal referral accusing former CIA Director John Brennan of lying to Congress. In the referral, Republican members of the House allege that Brennan lied to investigators trying to figure out what the nation's intelligence agencies did in their pursuit of President Donald Trump over the Russia collusion matter. The case is a strong one.

It started back in 2017. Congressional Republicans were trying to trace the FBI, CIA, and other agencies' activities in what is often known as the "Russia hoax." One central focus was the Steele dossier, the collection of false and salacious accusations that Trump conspired with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
Recommended Stories

The dossier, as everyone knows today, was a political oppo research job. It was put together by a former British spy who was hired and paid by operatives working on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign. As an investigative document, it was 100% BS.

That, of course, did not stop the FBI from embracing it. The bureau accepted the dossier as a legitimate source. The FBI included material from the dossier in a secret court application to wiretap a former low-level Trump campaign aide named Carter Page. And it even briefly hired the dossier's fabricator, Christopher Steele.
Here was where things did not add up for Hill investigators. Given what the FBI was doing, one might have expected that the CIA would also have played some role in the whole dossier saga. But John Brennan, then the head of the CIA, swore under oath that the CIA had nothing to do with the dossier.

A lot of the Republicans' questions had to do with what was called the Intelligence Community Assessment, the document produced by the CIA, FBI, NSA, and other agencies describing their investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election. The assessment had famously -- and controversially -- concluded that Vladimir Putin "developed a clear preference" for candidate Donald Trump and "aspired" to help Trump win the election.

GOP investigators wanted to know: Was that conclusion based on the dossier?

Republicans knew the FBI wanted to include the dossier's allegations in the Intelligence Community Assessment. But what about the CIA? Did Brennan's agency support including the dossier in the assessment? In testimony on May 23, 2017, Brennan said absolutely not, that the dossier played no role in the CIA's work. Brennan told lawmakers the dossier "was not in any way used as a basis for the Intelligence Community Assessment."

Six years later, on May 11, 2023, Brennan again found himself answering questions from Hill Republicans, and he again denied CIA involvement with the dossier. "I was not involved in analyzing the dossier at all," Brennan said. "I said the first time I actually saw it, it was after the election. And the CIA was not involved at all with the dossier. ... It was [the FBI's] purview, their area, not ours at all." Brennan also reiterated earlier testimony when he said, "The CIA was very much opposed to having any reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment."

Now it appears that what Brennan told congressional investigators was false. The current CIA director, John Ratcliffe, who used to be one of the House investigators looking into the Russia matter, has declassified documents from Brennan's time at the agency which show that, far from keeping the dossier at arm's reach, Brennan actually forced CIA analysts to use it and overruled the analysts who wanted to leave the dossier out of the Intelligence Community Assessment.

Ratcliffe asked the CIA's Directorate of Analysis (DA) to review the tradecraft used in producing the assessment. First of all, the DA found what it called "multiple procedural anomalies" in the CIA's preparation of the assessment... Together, all of the "anomalies" "impeded efforts to apply rigorous tradecraft," the DA concluded.

There was no doubt the FBI wanted to include the dossier in the Intelligence

Community Assessment; the CIA self-investigation found that "FBI leadership made it clear that their participation in the assessment hinged on the dossier's inclusion." FBI officials "repeatedly pushed" to include the dossier in the assessment.

But career CIA analysts did not want to include the dossier. The CIA's deputy director for analysis sent Brennan an email saying that including the dossier's information in any form would threaten "the credibility of the entire document." That was when Brennan made the decision to overrule his experts. From the CIA's Directorate of Analysis:

Despite these objections, Brennan showed a preference for narrative consistency over analytical soundness. When confronted with specific flaws in the dossier by the two mission center leaders -- one with extensive operational experience and the other with a strong analytic background -- he appeared more swayed by the dossier's general conformity with existing theories than by legitimate tradecraft concerns. Brennan ultimately formalized his position in writing, stating that "my bottomline is that I believe that the information warrants inclusion in the report."

...

Taken together, these passages show that significant portions of Brennan's congressional testimony about the dossier and the Intelligence Community Assessment were untrue. When he said the dossier "was not in any way used as a basis for the Intelligence Community Assessment" -- that was untrue. When he said "I was not involved in analyzing the dossier at all" -- that was untrue. When he said "the CIA was not involved at all with the dossier" -- that was untrue. When he said "The CIA was very much opposed to having any reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence Community Assessment" -- that was untrue.

Here's the bottom line, which Republicans have believed for a long time. In the politically supercharged atmosphere of late 2016 and early 2017, the FBI and CIA both knew the dossier was BS. They knew they had no business including it in their assessment of Russia's 2016 activities. But they included it anyway because it told them what they wanted to hear -- that Donald Trump had colluded with Russia. And then, under oath before Congress, John Brennan lied about it.

Cracker Barrel's Woke Girlboss Failure of a CEO is claiming her repudiation of the brand's identity wasn't ideological at all.

Cracker Barrel's top executive on Tuesday said the folksy restaurant chain's disastrous logo change wasn't about politics -- instead claiming the switch was made for the sake of highway visibility, according to a report.

Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino was forced to defend the headline-grabbing bungle at the 13D Monitor Active-Passive Investor Summit in New York on Tuesday as the company faces stepped-up heat from an activist investor.

The embattled restaurant boss -- who has faced accusations of having a "woke" agenda as she stripped the chain's beloved "Uncle Herschel" mascot from the chain's logo -- instead insisted that the redesign was meant to make the sign easier to read for drivers speeding past interstate exits.
Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino defended the restaurant chain's brief and costly logo experiment. 4

"Part of this transformation is setting up success for the long term," Masino said at the conference. Her comments were reported by the Wall Street Journal.

In August, Cracker Barrel 's stock tanked when the Tennessee-based chain replaced its classic image of a man in overalls leaning against a wooden barrel with a minimalist design that read only "Cracker Barrel."

The new look was rolled out alongside a slate of modern store remodels and a marketing overhaul led by the consulting firm Prophet -- all part of a $700 million rebranding plan aimed at drawing younger diners.

Ah, the elusive Modern Audience. As for her claim: Companies have different variations of their logo for just this sort of reason. A simplified logo for a highway sign makes sense -- but she changed the store's main logo. This wasn't about the sign being more visible on the highway. This was about her showing off to her AWFL sorority sisters.

She's lying because she's being challenged and the board may just fire her.

Trump is blocking leftwing gun control groups from receiving federal money earmarked at reducing gun violence.

The Trump administration has released solicitations for a grant program meant to stop gun violence in underserved communities. But this year, the non-profits the grant was built around are disqualified from applying, according to an application notice released by the Department of Justice (DoJ) in September.

The Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative (CVIPI), was created in 2022, to support groups working in rural and urban communities struggling to address violence and fund research studying the programs' efficacy.

The pioneering program was born out of a recognition by the Biden administration that such community-centered programs were among the most successful tools in combating the US' deep-rooted gun violence problem, and had played a crucial role in helping reduce homicides in major US cities.

Before Trump's inauguration, community-based organizations, non-profits and local and state governments were eligible to apply for the grant. Now, only city, county and tribal governments are allowed. And the stated goal of the program has been changed from "comprehensive, community-based prevention" to "supports law enforcement efforts to reduce violent crime and improve police-community relations".

Since 2022, the federal government has awarded more than $300m to over 120 non-profits, city and county governments and research institutions through the initiative, according to an archived list of grant recipients.

I assume the gun control groups were just using them money for political agitation against lawful gun ownership. But I'm not sure.

NEW: Arnold Schwarzenegger claps back at CNN's Jake Tapper, calls out "extreme gerrymandering" in blue states.

Tapper: "Do you believe that the Republican Party is starting this?"

Schwarzenegger: "No, Jake. There has been gerrymandering going on for 200 years."

"There is such extreme gerrymandering going on that in a state like Massachusetts, it has like 40% of the people voting for Trump, they have zero representatives."

"The Republican Party has zero representatives sent to the House. Think about that."

"In New Mexico, 45% of the people voted for Trump and vote Republican, and zero is sent to the House, zero representatives from the Republican Party."

Last week, the ugly Jen Paski made a nasty attack on JD Vance and his wife, claiming that she, as an Indian immigrant, was basically a hostage who needed to be rescued. "Blink four times," the nasty whore Psaki said. "We'll come save you."

That's not the part of the interview that most interests me, though.

You of course know that every new Republican is the Worst Republican Ever, and once a Republican has retired, or has died, and is no longer a threat to the Democrat party, the Democrat-Antifa-Media Party starts talking up how terrific retired/dead Republicans were compared to the New Worst Republican Ever.

Nixon was the worst Republican ever, until Reagan. At least Nixon was rational! Reagan is crazy! He'll blow up the world.

I'll skip the elder Bush, which might be the first time the New Republican wasn't the Worst Republican.

The younger Bush was elected, and now Reagan was hailed a sensible, intelligent man who could be negotiated with, while George W. Bush was a coked-up retard who wanted to 9/11 the world.

Then of course came Mitt Romney and John McCain, who were both briefly the Worst Republicans Ever. Where are the healers and deep-thinkers in the GOP, like Reagan?

And then Trump. And suddenly the Democrat-Antifa-Media Party began talking up Der Chimpenfuhrer George W. Bush as being a statesman and highly-qualified president.

Notice that in all cases, old Republicans are never contrasted favorably with the New Worst Republican Ever until the old Republicans are out of office or in the ground.

Except now. For the first time ever, Jen Psaki has began favorably talking up Trump to compare him with the not-yet-president JD Vance, who she already has decided is the New Worst Republican Ever.

While the old Worst Republican Ever is still in office and deporting all the Cancer Curers!

Extraordinary.


Victor Davis Hanson commented on this:

@overton_news

Victor Davis Hanson just fired back at Jen Psaki's attacks on Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha.

What he exposed goes far beyond simple political jabs.

They're TERRIFIED that the MAGA movement isn't tied to just one man...it could continue long into the future.

"They thought when he was selected as vice president, he brought nothing to the ticket because Ohio was going to be won, he was a White male, there was no diversity, but they didn't really appreciate that he's one of the best explicators of the MAGA agenda."

"He eviscerated the media every time he got on television. He was a real force multiplier of the Trump ticket."

"And they're afraid of him."

"And now they're thinking, you know, we were betting on MAGA is inseparable from Trump. He was the sun, and without him there will be no sunlight."

"And then people like Rubio and JD Vance come along and they think, oh my God, this thing could go on and on and on with this new populist Republican Party."

"And they're terrified of it, and so they feel that maybe she's too sophisticated for this Appalachian-born Vance or whatever, but they're terrified that MAGA will go beyond Donald Trump."

"I think they should be terrified, because I think it will."

The “aunt” who Zohran Mamdani said was too afraid to wear her hijab on the subways after 9/11 was actually his dad’s second cousin.

The socialist mayoral front-runner made the revelation during a press conference after critics seized on his story, sharing photos on social media of an aunt of his without a hijab.

“I was speaking about Zehra fuhi, my father’s cousin, who passed away a few years ago,” Mamdani told reporters. Fuhi means paternal aunt in Urdu and Hindi.

22 I find the Minneapolis mayoral race (and potential results) even more interesting that the NY race. Omar Fateh has a better chance of winning than Mamdani. Minneapolis uses ranked choice voting, and Fateh has formed an alliance with at least two other candidates to keep Frey from winning.

Mamdani is unhinged and deceitful, but this Fateh guy makes him look like a piker. He's vowing to create a brand new tax (vacancy tax that stacks and is separate from property tax)...AND, he believes he can apply higher tax rates state wide applied on the "rich" just to support Minneapolis's infrastructure without legislation intervention.

Jackass, if you are doing an act of political violence against a civilization when you are not under a recognized banner then guess what? You are a fucking barbarian. We might not like what Germany did to Poland in 1939 (I don't) but that was a war declared by one nation against another one.

To kill Christians and Jews.
Strap on this vest I've made for you
And it will cure your blues (and it will cure my blues)

No, no. Bush Sr. took his turn as the Worst Person In the World, when he vetoed everything from Congress (that contained a new tax clause).

And then we had to understand when stadiums of student's chanted "Bush must die", because we needed to understand that they were angry.

Now, it's dangerous for “right-wingers” to express "anger"—but we had to understand throngs of students chanting "Bush must die" that they were "angry!" Sooooo angry!

- Or the dunderhead in CA that has taken over the OPM and assigned herself over personal decisions for the entire federal government.

*you should see the insane basis for the 9th panel upholding her illegal order.
See, the feds said one basis was they had to reassign law enforcement personal. But is was only some actually sent to OR, not all.
And Ho Lee Fuk, the Commies and their dick-licking judges acted like they just caught Trump stabbing a baby with forks.
And suddenly the "great deference" that actually means nearly no review because the Judiciary cannot and never will be privy to the entire basis justifying the deployment becomes "but only if we think the President couldn't have done it a different way."

234 I would consider the argument that a "suicide bomber" is not by definition a mark of barbarism. The immediate barbarism comes from the "modern" suicide bomber targeting civilians, and the more the better. Nice try conflating that with a "suicide mission" Mamdani senior, you sick #$!%. That to me is a non-starter.

The other argument would be the kamikaze-type mission vs. a mission where the troops know they probably won't come back but will at least do their best to try. I have trouble seeing the former as "civilizationally healthy" but there's probably an argument to be made.

Yeah, I think it's really a non-starter to say that if you have 40% of the votes, you should have 40% of the representation.

Especially if that 40% is pretty evenly distributed, it would make sense that you lose in ~100% of the races, because 40% of the vote doesn't make a victory in any race.

One of the worst polling organizations in the US. They always overweight Democrats.

I think some Democrats are in denial. Just today Republicans in Indiana started making noises that they have the votes to redistrict, 2 more Republican seats. There are a bunch of states doing this and there really aren't many place left for Democrats to gerrymander. They did that decades ago.

Well, they didn't go into detail as to all that they found, but it pertained to annex to the report by John Durham. They showed part of that publicly. Apparently, his annex outline various diversions from FBI policy and confirmed bias, but those items were left out of the final report. So, likely the items down there back up that original and private assessment.

Escape from New York: Over 25% of City Ready to Flee Communist Rule

According to a schmoll.

The survey from Victory Insights found that 26.5% of city residents are considering moving out of New York if the democratic socialist lawmaker wins -- a startling sign of anxiety over what many see as a radical shift for the city's future. The poll of 500 likely voters, conducted October 22--24, shows Mamdani dominating every potential matchup, leading former Gov. Andrew Cuomo by nearly 20 points, 46.7% to 28.6%, with Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa trailing far behind at 16.2%. Roughly 8.5% of voters remain undecided.

Nearly 40% of respondents said they believe a Mamdani administration would be a "threat to the future of the city," including about one-third of Democrats. "It would come as a major surprise if anyone other than Mamdani is elected mayor of New York City," Victory Insights said in its analysis. "However, many voters are extremely concerned about that outcome." The pollster noted that Cuomo and Sliwa supporters were the most likely to say they'd consider leaving the city if Mamdani wins, warning that "New York City seems to be nearing an inflection point -- one that could reshape the city for years to come." Early voting begins Saturday, with Election Day set for November 4.

Open, overt Democrat support for socialism and communism is the new normal. (At least until Mamdani destroys NYC.) Democrats have always supported socialism, though they lied like Satan and claimed they didn't.

They have been unmasking themselves since 2010. This is all well-reported; the media has just been covering up the Democrats' open embrace of socialism and communism for more than a decade, if you can believe the media would lie to help the Democrats.

The country now only feels favorably towards capitalism at 54%, and meanwhile feels favorably towards socialism at 39%.

All of the shift is coming from the Democrats, beginning during the totally-not-a-communist Obama's first term. 67% of Democrats now support socialism -- meaning that only socialists will win blue cities, blue districts, and blue states in the future.


Stability in U.S. adults' opinions of socialism obscures Democrats' more positive views of it over time, from 50% rating it positively in the initial 2010 reading to roughly two-thirds in three readings since 2019. Those increases have been mostly offset by declines in positive ratings of socialism among Republicans. Independents' ratings of socialism have generally been steady.

Democrats are the only partisan group of the three that views socialism more positively than capitalism -- 66% to 42%, respectively. Independents are modestly more pro-capitalism than pro-socialism (51% vs. 38%), while Republicans are overwhelmingly so (74% vs. 14%).

partyapprovalofcapitalism.jpg


partyapprovalofsocialism.jpg

From the house organ of the Democrat establishment, Politico, in mid-September:


The socialist brand is on the rise, according to recent polling, fueling the left flank of the Democratic Party to argue its ideology is becoming more mainstream.

Shortly after Gallup released data showing Democrats and independents are cooling toward capitalism, a progressive organization is out with a poll finding that more than half of likely Democratic voters prefer socialist-aligned figures like Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani to establishment politicians like Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jefrries and Nancy Pelosi.

Democratic voters also view elected officials who describe themselves as democratic socialists about as positively as those who identify as Democrats, and they prefer democratic socialism to capitalism when written definitions of each are read aloud to them, according to the poll conducted by Data for Progress and shared first with POLITICO.

"What the mainstream of the party wants is both democratic socialism as a value system and democratic socialist politicians," said Gabe Tobias, executive director of the Democratic Socialists of America Fund, a political nonprofit organization that funded the survey with the magazine Jacobin and the Berlin-based democratic socialist group Rosa Luxemburg Foundation.

Though Democratic voters are warming to socialism, the ideology is toxic to most Republicans and many independents, making it difficult for socialists to win in battlegrounds.


That point about the Democrats now officially being the party of socialism and communism, and boohoo whinin' and cryin' about capitalism, via Black Conservative Perspective.

59 And these stupid cocksuckers will flee to other states only to work overtime to replicate the same conditions they fled. There isn't a single nest they will not befoul.

First: This blue state is great. We support immigrants, we follow the science sexually, and we don't allow racist policing. Too bad I can't afford a house, find a job, or go for a walk after dark.

Then: This red state sucks. Sure I like my house and my job, and I can safely walk my neighborhood after dark, but we aren't supporting immigrants, we don't follow the science, and the cops are pretty racist against people just for breaking unimportant laws. But if we vote the correct way we can fix all this!

80 Saw a part of an essay Mamdani's father wrote about 9/11. He argued that the terrorists who hijacked the planes and killed thousands of innocent people not to mentions destroying billions in real estate should be considered soldiers and celebrated.

106 Whenever I describe ACTUAL Socialism to trumpers, they all agree with it and the ideals. Call it Socialism, and it’s terrorism and anti-American. The amount of brainwashed people in this country...

MAGA people use “socialism” and “communism” interchangeably. If people were actually educated they would be like, “oh yeah, that socialism sounds like a pretty good idea.”

The rather socialist New Deal helped the US capitalize on the post-WW2 economic era, ensuring unprecedented growth of the middle class. Too bad a lot of it has been broken down since the 1980s.

Deregulation temporarily spurs economic development, but long term it exacerbates the wealth and power divide, deflating the middle class, which eventually breaks society.

Socialism means… let’s see… a mayor starting a local public option for groceries the same way we have a public option for mail that’s highly efficient and helps the most vulnerable? The same way centrist DNC candidates propose public options for healthcare to reduce the scam that is insurance?

=============

Legit view, and I think there's a difference:

Mamdani has made wild, impossible promises that are driving his supporters into orgiastic frenzies. These people believe he will bring free childcare, free buses, frozen rents, $30/hr minimum wages, and utopian grocery stores. They will be demanding these changes on the day he takes office.

Of course, this will all fail.

When it does, that euphoric frenzy will turn to -- well, riots. They'll probably blame Trump, "corporate greed," Big Banking -- but that doesn't matter. I was saying last night, property owners in NYC should be fortifying their buildings now.

That's the difference I predict, sometime in... 2027? We shall see.

149 I don't know if it will be 25% of the population that will bail. Moving, especially any great distance, is harder for individuals. You have to find a new job, a new home, and load and move your belongings. That is hard to coordinate. And there are emotional factors. If one spouse wants to move and the other doesn't it complicates things, as does ties to other family members who are staying.

I suspect that there will be a bunch that move, and they will be the most productive sort because you can bet that they are the ones who are checking out their options now and not at the last minute.

Organizations, especially those who have contingency plans, and move faster. I expect a bunch to go. And then there are those who own businesses whose financial viability will be cancelled by Mamdani's plans. Expect a bunch of empty storefronts.

One fun thing I look forward to. Much of the city's income is based on tourism. A goodly chunk of that involves show business; Broadway, off-Broadway, places where show business types hang out, und so weiter. If the show business and media-types decide to be elsewhere, a lot of that sector and its taxes is not going to be there.

We often did have wild mooslem taxi drivers take us places at night vs the subway. One pulled over at 5pm or so, a few blocks from the theater where we were going to whip out his rug and pray. We paid and left before the rug.

Another time we grabbed a taxi after a theater show and the college kids getting out stiffed him. He was enraged and a bit fatwa when we got in like innocent lambs from Florida. He sped like a lunatic to the Upper West Side hotel, and we actually found seatbelts on that ride (nasty stuff finding them). We survived somehow.

I'd guess many normal people moved after 2001 to allow what is happening in 2025. Unreal. I pray he gets beat.

One way, in my opinion, to force the Dims into actually helping these people (and some deserve it, no doubt not all)...is for the dang GOP to trumpet the reason(s) for not voting. As in: free healthcare for ILLEGALS.

I mean, this is not hard, GOP. The black citizens will surely understand why the shut down is happening as they don't like ILLEGALS much either!

277 I don't know if anyone pointed this out - NYC doesn't cover a huge area. You can go five miles and be 'out' of the city limits and out from Mamdami's influence. So for the vast majority it's not like you're moving away from friends and family and job.

The same goes here in L.A. it's an easy move to an adjacent suburb with its own government away from Bass and her crew.

It's a little harder to get out of California without making a major change, vs NYC where NJ is just across the river.

I can't remember the name for the transaction but muzzies get around the ban on interest by lending money then leasing a piece of land to the borrower who pays rent for the land in the amount of what would be the interest on the loan. The borrower doesn't actually use the land for anything, it's just an end-run around their own rules. So someone gets paid for setting up the transaction, the borrower gets the money, the lender gets "lease payments" that are actually the interest payments on the loan.

Two Suspects Arrested for Louvre Robbery

Hmm.


Two suspects were arrested in connection with the theft of crown jewels from Paris' Louvre museum, justice and police officials said Sunday, a week after the heist that stunned the world and sparked a massive manhunt.

The Paris prosecutor said that investigators made arrests Saturday evening, adding that one of the men taken into custody was preparing to leave the country from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.


A police official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing case, told The Associated Press that two men in their 30s, both known to police, were taken into custody. He said one suspect was arrested as he attempted to board a plane bound for Algeria. The official added that one of the suspects was identified through DNA traces. Beccuau said earlier this week that forensics experts were analyzing 150 samples at the scene.

...

Thieves took less than eight minutes last Sunday morning to steal jewels valued at 88 million euros ($102 million) from the world's most-visited museum. French officials described how the intruders used a basket lift to scale the Louvre's façade, forced open a window, smashed display cases and fled. The museum's director called the incident a "terrible failure."

Per Le Figaro, one of the two thieves was captured as he was preparing to take a flight to Algeria. The other was arrested in the banlieu of Seine-Saint-Denis, a so-called "no-go zone" where cars are frequently incinerated during riots.

I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying, when they don't release the perps' names, there's a very high probability the names are Amish.

134 SCOOP: Cigna Group will eliminate prescription drug rebates in many of its commercial health plans in 2027, upending an opaque, controversial practice that’s drawn the ire of President Donald Trump.

The insurer will expand the rebate-free model to clients of its pharmacy benefits business starting in 2028.

The plan to eventually phase out rebates more broadly portends a seismic shift in the flow of billions of dollars among drugmakers, insurers and employers.

With the young club the Red Sox have, if I can swing a bat at all, maybe I can help the team.
I certainly hope so."

Ted Williams Williams checks out with guard at Marine Barracks in Washington D.C. after being released from active duty!
After returning from missing three seasons for military service, in which Ted Williams won three medals of valor, Williams hit a home run on the day he returned.

For the season he hit .342/.497/.667 with 38 home runs.
Led the league in runs, walks, total bases, OBP, SLG, and OPS and won the MVP.

This might be the wrong crowd to share this anecdote with. But I had the pleasure of seeing the Vertigo house just down the hill from the famous Lombard Street a while back. I loved it was exactly the same as the movie. I felt like jimmy Stewart would step out of it at any moment. It was a magical moment for me.

I was horrified to go back years later and see the outside even destroyed. Some Muslim rich guy had bought it, and not respecting its legacy, had completely walled it up, changed it and desecrated it. Like of all the homes in San Francisco you can buy, you destroy the one house with a rich cinematic history?

The current social media trend of young influencers buying these gorgeous old homes and bastardizing them into some hideous HGTV tired retread with inferior materials horrifies me.

A New Ballroom Was Absolutely Needed at the White House, Admits... The Washington Post

When the White House attempts to hold events, like state dinners, they are forced to erect outdoor tents -- which can be shot through by snipers, of course -- and visiting dignitaries need to use the undignified means of waste elimination known as Port-a-Potties.

In other words: Yes, the White House needs a larger space for entertaining guests.

This is obvious. But it shocking that the Washington Post is even capable of acknowledging the obvious, writes David Strom.

Months ago, Jeff Bezos made clear that he wanted to clean out the most insane Opinion Page columnists and restore some sanity to the Washington Post's Opinion/Editorial Page.
Advertisement

And there was quite the exodus as the Augean Stables were cleaned out. David Shipley, the editorial page editor, resigned. Ruth Marcus, out. Karen Attiah, out. Philip Bump, out. Jonathan Capehart, out. We all laughed and toasted Jen Rubin's departure, of course.

But even with the massive turnover in personnel, how many of us expected the Post to do more than make a nod to sanity as it continued on much the same course?

Yet, here we are. Hell has, indeed, frozen over.

Check the link for actual quotes from the Post. Not only does the Post admit the need for a larger space for entertaining guests, but it also admits that the amount of red tape that usually blocks necessary renovations in all government projects is insane -- simple projects take 21 years to complete, if they're ever completed -- and that Trump's roughshod bulldozing over Established Normzzz is actually necessary here.

This is a one-two punch of an editorial, not because it will move the needle in any significant way or because the Post is suddenly going to become a Trump outlet. The ballroom issue is, in itself, minor. It is a manufactured controversy.

What the editorial does is calmly point out that 1) Trump is right in what he is doing, and 2) that he is having to "subvert norms" because the norms are insane and destructive.

Something needed to be done. The existing "norms" (not rules, because the White House is mostly exempt) and red tape make doing anything nearly impossible, so Trump cut the Gordian Knot. He saw a need and filled it.

At the Free Beacon, Andrew Stiles rounded up some of the most insane leftwing responses in this "manufactured controversy."

You know who else built buildings in his capital city, don't you?

Here's a particularly insane example: Tara Setmayer, a former Lincoln Project senior adviser, wrote that watching Trump renovate the White House made her feel "almost the same as when I saw the Pentagon damage on 9/11." Though most probably wouldn't compare it to 9/11 in a public forum, Setmayer was expressing a sentiment widely shared by her fellow Trump-obsessed liberal activists. In their humble (and definitely not crazy) opinion, this was one of the worst attacks on the American homeland in our country's history.

Note: I wrongly said this asshole was part of the Bulwark grifter network. In fact, she's a former Lincoln Project grifter. I forgot which segment of the grifter human centipede she belongs to.

...

The Post also published a scathing column by its art and architecture critic, who cited a Columbia professor who argued Trump's architectural model of the ballroom was haunted by a "darker history in fascist and totalitarian politics."

...

Stephen Colbert, the former comedian, said watching the East Wing being demolished was like having electrodes attached to his nipples. "That is so deeply upsetting," he said, fighting back tears. Colbert's former colleague Jon Stewart UNLOADED on Trump for ignoring the preservationists. The left-wing website Talking Points Memo suggested Trump's preference for "classical architecture" was a "dog whistle for white nationalists." The reaction from journalists, observed journalist Ryan Cooper at the American Prospect, has been "surprisingly visceral" because "this is what dictatorship feels like."

More at the link.

And in case you didn't see Trump's trollish Timeline of Major Events...

The timeline notes that there was no Oval Office in the White House until 1909, when "President William Howard Taft remodeled and expanded the West Wing, which included construction of the first Oval Office." That's a more consequential change than a ballroom in the East Wing, the sacred and unchangeable part of the White House that Trump is now daring to make the site of his ballroom. The East Wing itself, by the way, did not exist until 1942, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt "constructed the East Wing for additional staff and wartime security, including a bomb shelter."

That's all very interesting, and in itself destroys the Democrat hysteria over Trump's ballroom, but the timeline gets really interesting in its entries covering more recent White House history. One of them involves Bill Clinton's use of William Howard Taft's Oval Office: "Bill Clinton Scandal: President Bill Clinton's affair with intern Monica Lewinsky was exposed, leading to White House perjury investigations. The Oval Office trysts fueled impeachment for obstruction."

Then there's "Muslim Brotherhood Visit: Obama hosts members of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group that promotes Islamist extremism and has ties to Hamas. The Muslim Brotherhood is a designated terrorist organization by nearly a dozen nations." That one comes complete with a photo of Barack Obama trying on a full outfit of traditional Arab garb.

Look at this absolute hot mess:

Lefties have a new lie/psyop they're pushing. They post pictures which are not of the East Wing, and say something like "I can't believe my memories have been bulldozed by the Trumpenfuhrer."

Tom Collichio, the jackass who used to judge Top Chef, posted a picture he claimed was from the East Wing but which, per Mollie Hemingway (who would know), was definitely not the East Wing.

This psyop has given rise to a meme: People are posting their own photos "From the East Wing."

90 simple projects take 21 years to complete, if they're ever completed.

See, this is the thing with government contracts. It doesn't matter if the project is completed, or how well it's done. All that matters to the contracting officer is that the money is obligated. This is why the government is overspent and inefficient. And the contractors get rich.

93 WSJ reports today that when Obama was president in 2010, Trump offered to build a ballroom.

"You have these state dinners in these shi--y little tents".

"I build ballrooms. I build the most beautiful ballrooms in the world. You can come to Florida and see for yourself".

Advisor David Axelrod declined the offer, because of the recession or something.

96 My fave, FAVE conspiracy theory about the east wing demolish to build a large ballroom is that it throws off the symmetry of the White House. By a lot. And this also means it throws off the sacred geometry of DC. When the masons designed the e layout of DC, the White House and its symmetry was an integral part of the design, and it allows a satanic influence to fester DC and corrupt it. (That implies the masons were satanic and that politicians were angels before they came to S.C., but ignore all that. Just go with the theory.)

Trump building a yuuuuge ballroom that dwarfs the west wing, thereby completing throwing off the symmetry, will somehow negate the Masonic sacred geometry and heal DC. It's nuts I, but I love it.

I also loved the rant by a journalist that a college design student could design a better White House ballroom. That the current ballroom design would get a failing grade from any architectural school.

They are just jealous Obama didn't think to do this.

97 "Because the White House needed a ballroom, honestly. Once it is built people will forget they were ever angry about its construction. In the meantime, we shall see which Democrat is willing to escalate first, by publicly demanding a wrecking ball on Day One of the next Democratic administration. The voters are guaranteed to respond well to that." -- Donald Trump

108 I just really hope it isn’t gold leafed to kingdom come. I really like Trump, but his taste is really….gold. When we bought our house in NJ, I would laugh at how everything looked like Liberace threw up in there, it was kind of crazy. Trump reminds me of that (sincere apologies to those who are in NJ and enjoy this decor.) I always wonder if the opposite is true, those who immigrate from NJ here look at Southern decor and think where is the gold leaf? What is all this Chinoiserie?

It's pretty scary, really. You can't deal with that. That's the kind of shit that drowns all the kids in the tub while dad's at work, or starts buying Zyklon-B by the railcar, or orders the death of all firstborn children...

164 I do wonder how the FSA are going to react when the money ends.

Are they going to burn down their own neighborhoods? Call up their local Dem pols and demand they get the money going again by voting for the current CR?

Because here is the interesting thing...the votes being cast for these people are already going 100% to Dems.

And the only control they have is to threaten to vote, actually vote themselves, and vote for the challenger to the person currently "representing" them.

When we bought our house in NJ, I would laugh at how everything looked like Liberace threw up in there, it was kind of crazy.

I always wonder if the opposite is true, those who immigrate from NJ here look at Southern decor and think where is the gold leaf? What is all this Chinoiserie?

I worked in houses like that. At some point in the 80's there was this thing for tacky looking shiny silver and gold wallpaper and everything revolved around it. It wasn't in middle class homes though, always the affluent. I hated that style with the heat of 1000 suns. I would do a beautiful kitchen and it would just get dwarfed by the insanity around it. Trumps tastes are what I call opulent tacky. I do think, from what I saw anyway on artist renditions, that he's going to dial that back a bit on the ballroom, and go more toward architecture speaking for itself.

A town near mine has a luxury hotel that has been there forever. The people in the town all had their big life events there.

Last year they voted for a "feel good" measure from the state that allowed the state to overturn local zoning regulations which was pitched to them as a way to reduce housing costs.

Well, the state gave the hotel to a politically connected developer who plans to build some tenements for "the newcomers. "

Bulldoze the fucking tacky thing and restore the East Wing exactly as it was. And restore the rose garden, and plant new trees to replace the ones he ripped up.

There’s no way this construction is going through the proper vetting process. I wouldn’t surprised if people bugged the heck out of that thing.

230 million for a fucking ballroom it must be a scam. Imagine what kind of mansion you would get for that much, and that also includes the land.

We need to destroy everything even remotely related to Trump. Seize his assets. Imprison him and every single accomplice. Punish those who are funding him. Every trace of Trump and the giant shit stain that he is needs to be erased forever. 

Demagafication absolutely needs to occur if we make it out of this and it cannot be a repeat of Reconstruction. It must be swift, harsh and severe enough that any potential “second coming” needs to be scared of espousing their ideals for literal generations.

The Dems won't do it! Not any of it. The Dems only care about one single thing: virtue-signalling how good they are.

237 Until now no one paid much attention to the East Wing, did they? There has not even been a tv show about the East Wing, where FLOTUS had an office, there was an all encompassing caligraphy office, and a carport with columns.

I only note the East Wing when President Trump meets little z and mocks his black ninja costumes.

While I don't want the building dwarfing the WH, and I know there will be a lot of gold decor (which I wish he'd stop flinging around the oval office), I also know it does not matter in my life. I was not likely to get my stiletto heels stuck in the grass of the former Rose Garden, either, which still has roses vs lawn.

Moved across the country a decade ago and bought a house on a mountain ridge. Built in the mid '90's, as the one we left in FL (which was perfect and I even designed the pool that I miss).

This one, oh, boy. When we bought it we ripped up all the carpet and had wood floors installed. Deck replaced. Fireplaces gutted and replaced. Everything replaced by people we hired or my husband (he replaced every hinge and doorknob). It is ours vs the horror of 40 Shades of Mustard on our arrival. We lived through what seemed to be months of war to get this years later and it is perfect. The kitchen replaced to the studs and is a French type kitchen and everyone who sees it is impressed. I may be a Moron, but a Moron with good taste.

I am going to give an alternative view- the purpose of these programs, prior to them being used to mess up black families, was to help single mothers who were widowed or abandoned, with the idea they could continue to stay home, or work a domestic job that still allowed them to continue to raise children. I think our children being raised in day care centers is a lot of the problem and having someone home tends to mitigate mischief a hair. Not totally, but it’s important. What it shouldn’t be is a method to continue to have babies out of wedlock (though I do believe every birth is a blessing, we have to also be responsible for the choices we make), or for able bodied men to avoid going and getting a dang job to support their families. If you have 12 kids with 12 different women, sounds like you need to be working 12 jobs.

They're playing on ignorance of just what the East Wing was. Many people actually think the "East Wing" is the east half of the actual WH proper, the executive residence, the thing with the North and South Porticos as what was demolished. I saw some X memes showing bulldozers tearing down the east side of that, confirming this.

319 The absolute worst restroom I have ever had the displeasure to grace and not touch anything whatsoever was in a national park somewhere.I have blacked out the location, but in the West. Wooden doors, the whole shebang. It might as well have been an outhouse.

My toddler granddaughter was with me and I told her don't touch it! Hold your breath as she noticed the stench! Got my bidness done quickly. I don't even know why she was with me as she was still in diapers. It is possible she just wanted to go with me and we let her. Horrific!

I thought nothing of camping in my college years and finding bushes. In the past, like a lot of things.

See it on a theater. Plays much differently. My first time seeing it was in 1961 with my parents, in the same huge theater they first saw it in 1940 when it went into wide release. Everytime I saw it after that was in a large theater, where and whenever it played. Took my girlfriend, future wife, to see it in NYC in one of the last movie palaces. A great film that can be watched over and over again. The more I watch it, the more I had realized that it was Mammy who was the glue that held the family together. Wonderful actress.

Fen, 10 minutes on Twitter and I start rage-stroking. Most people there have just 280 characters to make their point, so they make it as fast and hard as possible. Violence gets clicks, so they post videos of beatings and rants. Also, a lot of it is anonymous, so why not be as insolent and uncivil as the law allows?

She had HS kids paint the rooms and it showed.

Except one upstairs bedroom was pea green. A lotta paint, blood and sweat (no tears) went into the remodel. New roof, with Mexican's singing opera. New everything at some point including the furnace/AC and windows. I am here forevermore. I ain't going through this ever again!
