Jimmy Kimmel Runs Stephen Colbert's Partisan Op Playbook, Claiming DRUMPF!!! Is Censoring Him By Not Allowing Him to Broadcast an Ass-Eating Propaganda Interview with James Talarico

Before getting to that: Trump had some fun with the totally normal moderate straight Christian man James Talarico.

Talarico has campaigned to reduce/end meat consumption. In line with all Democrats who now say "woke 1 was crazyyyy" and disavow their past comments as just some internet "cringe," Talarico now says he loves meat and photographs himself chomping on a turkey drumstick.

An unearthed 2022 clip of Texas Senate candidate James Talarico urging voters to scale back "meat consumption" went viral on Tuesday with many lampooning the rising Democratic star.
Talarico, who has already taken heat for controversial 2020 tweets referring to the "virus of racism" and how White people are guilty of spreading it, was a hot topic on social media again when a GOP communications strategist posted old footage of the masked Senate hopeful criticizing meat consumption in the state famous for its barbecue.
"We have heard, I think heard more and more, issues of animal welfare. I think, not just because it's the right thing to do, and it's the moral thing to do, but also... necessary to fight climate change. It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption, and that we try to respect animals," Talarico said during a fundraiser for laws against animal abuse.
"I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign," Talarico continued. "We are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses."
...

"Talarico wants to represent Texas but is anti-meat, anti-gun, anti-oil, thinks white people are inherently racist, that God is 'non-binary,' and that the Bible justifies abortion," Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, responded.
"

He was wearing a covid mask while declaring that the need to reduce meat consumption was "existential" to fight "climate change."

Trump says Talarico called his campaign to end meat consumption "Beat Meat." I can't find evidence of that, but I'll allow it for the joke:

Trump: "He wants to beat meat? But it was bad for his image, so he started eating meat. It's getting worse. I‘m getting myself in trouble." pic.twitter.com/V3vjNtBDtY

Which brings us to fat unfunny clown Jimmy Kimmel.

He's playing the same game Stephen Colbert did. Colbert, if you remember, recorded an interview with Talarico just before the Democrat primary. It's federal law that if a network which uses federally-granted airwaves promotes a candidate within 30 days of a primary election or 60 days before a general election, the network must provide equal time to his opponents.

At that time, the opponent was Jasmine Ratchet, and the White Racist Stephen Colbert didn't want to give her equal time -- because he supported his fellow Gay White Man. So they just aired the interview on YouTube, where equal time reules don't apply.

And then Colbert and Talarico ran an op pretending that the FCC forced them to do this because Talarico was so dangerous (to men's buttholes).

Well, the FCC didn't force this. You could have given equal time to Jasmine Ratchet, but you didn't want to do that, because you were acting as a partisan attempting to boost Talarico over Ratchet.

Which brings us now to Jimmy Kimmel. Kimmel also recorded an interview with the much-penetrated Talarico, and is running the exact same op of claiming that that DRUMPF!!! is censoring him fascistly.

Equal time rules are pretty basic, even @jimmykimmel can understand them: If you have a candidate on 30 days before a primary and 60 before the general, their opponents can demand equal time on that show on the public airwaves. Jimmy is lying, trying to build up excitement for… https://t.co/cpdj35yfdz

I watched Trevor Noah's NF special -- I know, I know, but it was late, I was bored, and nothing else looked appealing -- and half the material was how Trump mocked and threatened him for making an Epstein joke at the Grammies.

These people get energized like Frankenstein when they can make some connection with them and Trump. It's like teenage girls getting all excited that Chadley Highborn glanced at them while driving by in his Lamborghini.

No, there is no way. This will likely be a Cruz beating Beto in 2018 contest. Way closer than it should be, but not a nail-biter. Why was that one so close? For the same reason this one is. The GOPe hated Cruz, and they hate Paxton even more because he took one of theirs out.

Therefore, the GOPe is not donating money to Paxton, and many of them will even shadow fund Talarico via PACs in addition to voting for Six Gender Jimmy. They would rather a Marxist take the seat rather than a real conservative in order to show us a lesson.

See also: Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia's 2013 Governor race, which was much closer than polls indicated. In that one, too, the GOPe sat out because they hated the conservative who actually won the primary more than Terry McAuliffe, Hillary's bag man.

_________________________

Since 2015, the Left stopped with the subterfuge. Even before Trump's appearance certain high profile Leftists were gaining ground (Bernie Sanders). It used to be an open secret that the Left would swing towards the middle during elections with no intention of following through. That deceitful approach has been discarded in favor of open promotion of radicalism.

Add to that the voting demographics now include brainwashed college graduates who have been conditioned through Elementary school all the way up through college. The figured they had enough of a mainstream to discard the charade.

As usual, I think the Left overestimates their acumen. There have been some very blue state and city wins (Mamdani in NY, Morales in RI). But, I think Talarico and the 9/11 cheerleader in Michigan get crushed come November. The fake polls are propping both of them up...which is the purpose of polls these days.

The Man Show was 70% Carolla, 29% The Costello Twins and 1% Kimmel.

His main contribution was the "Yokozuna" where he found his brother asleep on a Lazy Boy, and Kimmel dropped trou and jumped on board, grinding his bare asshole in his brother's face to wake him up.

I also think they particularly like having the fakes, woke Christian lecturing normies about their own religious beliefs and values.

🚨 attempted beheading 🚨

Let’s check in on Round Rock, Texas (near Austin), where 26-year-old sub-Saharan African Benedict Ogbodiegwu Jr. just allegedly murdered a White man, 62-year-old Andrew James Wimsatt.

Andrew liked to sit at the park and take photos that he shared on his IG. Around 11am, Wimsatt was sitting on a park bench when Ogbodiegwu began attacking him with a knife. Ogbodiegwu wrapped his left arm around Wimsatt and started viciously stabbing him. Wimsatt tried to push him off but failed.

Ogbodiegwu continued stabbing Wimsatt several times before Wimsatt fell to the ground. Ogbodiegwu then got on top of the victim and started visibly sawing Wimsatt’s neck with the knife before running away toward the park’s pool area.

One of the Male Cuck Jurors Who Was Bullied Into Voting for Not Guilty by the Alpha Karens Speaks and He's as Weak as You Were Guessing

Catching up with the AWFUL Karens who insisted the "rogue" male juror obey them when they offered their non-expert "expert" opinions as nurses -- the more video I see, the worse it gets.

You probably know that jurors cannot be "experts." Jurors cannot research cases and bring their own "facts" and "evidence," often found on the internet, into the jury room. Jurors have been kicked off of cases for this arrogant step.

Jurors can also not appoint themselves "experts" and demand other jurors obey their fake expert opinions. If you saw My Cousin Vinny, you'll remember that Mona Lisa Vitti had to be declared by the judge to be an expert before she offered her expertise, and opposing counsel was entitled to voir dire her and attempt to impute her expertise.

And even when an expert is accepted by the court as an expert -- no juries are required to actually believe the expert. Experts offer opinion. Typical witnesses offer "fact" testimony, but even the "facts" they claim can be ignored by the jury if the jury thinks they're lying.

At any rate, these "expert nurses" were in contempt of court when they claimed that their expert opinions should not only be included as evidence, but believed without question as evidence.

And they also dismiss the doctors actually certified by the court as experts. Now, they're allowed to not believe an expert witness, but it's breathtaking that they simultaneously dismiss the doctors certified by the court as experts while illegally presenting their own Karen-Certified Nurse Experts and claiming the lone male holdout was a "rogue" juror for not taking this fake expert witness to be dispositive.

Omg. Lindsay Clancy juror spills that female nurses on the jury used their titles & experience, outside of the material evidence presented, to try and coerce the holdout into a not guilty verdict by reason of insanity.

What a sham. That man is a hero. pic.twitter.com/6Y40tmXmTO

So let's break this down. These insufferable idiots sent a note to the judge complaining that the holdout juror wasn't following instructions (ie he wouldn't agree with them), while they ignored expert witness testimony and instead acted as expert witnesses themselves during deliberations. That is in and of itself enough to declare a mistrial.
More and more this looks like a runaway jury with a lone sane hero they labeled "rogue".
No more women on juries.

One of the female jurors was a vocal online supporter of Karen Read. Other female jurors declared they were hostile to the prosecution from the opening arguments -- for not saying nice things about the child killer -- which proves they were hostile to the prosecution before the opening arguments and lied when they were asked if they had any bias that would prevent them from rendering an impartial judgment in the case. They lied to get on the jury so they could acquit their murderess hero.

And if I'm picking on the women too much -- okay, let me pick on one of the two cucks, who accepted the "expert" testimony of the non-expert Juror Nurses but who claimed that the "rogue" juror was out of line in attempting to demonstrate the horror of what Clancy had done by wrapping the exercise bands around a bottle of water.

A male juror in the mistrial of Lindsay Clancy said the lone holdout on the 12-person panel wrapped one of the exercise bands the mom used to kill her children around a water bottle to mimic their strangulation in the deliberation room.
Juror number 10 Nick Dargie said the holdout had every right to his opinion but that the reenactment using the same exercise bands left the room speechless.
"I was so shocked. We're not here to play detective -- it's not a game of Clue. This is serious," Dargie, 25, the fifth juror to come forward in the macabre case out of Duxbury, Mass., told ABC's "GMA" in an interview that aired Thursday morning.

"I asked him why are you doing that? That's a band that was used to strangle a child. That's disgusting."
He also accused the still-unnamed holdout, who hung the jury in an 11-1 deadlock leading to the mistrial, of seeming disengaged during the deliberations, saying he would frequently be scrolling his phone while people were talking to him.
When pressed to explain his refusal to budge, Dargie said he made no effort to explain his reasoning.
"There wasn't a single piece of evidence or witness testimony that he used to prove why he was thinking the way he was," the juror said.

He tried to show this Soyboy Beta Cuck the viciousness of the murders that the Expert Nurses were so airily dismissing but seeing that made him cry. So he did attempt to show his thinking. But this cuck's pussy got hurt and he ignored it.

Showing the Soyboy Beta Cuck the steps taken to murder a child was "disgusting."

The actual murders of three children -- not disgusting.

The murder didn't hurt his feelings. He didn't see that.
The recreation hurt his feelings. He saw that.
There's nothing more important than an individual's feelings.

Re what we've seen of the Clancy jurors:
VERY early in my trial career, prosecutors with dozens of trial under their belts gave me some very basic tips on picking a jury. This is very critical in federal court because most federal judges don't give attorneys much time in juror "voir dire." So there were some rules of thumb you tried to live by when evaluating the panel and your options as a prosecutor.
1. No teachers. They spend their days telling children and adolescents what to do, and they after often contrarian in order to show adults how smart they are. They hang up juries more than any other "type."
2. No healthcare workers who are not MDs. Healthcare workers with the most contact with patients are empathetic by nature -- that's why they entered the field -- and are trained to take all info they are given by patients seriously.
Putting it in a very crass fashion, a prosecutor does not want 12 jurors -- you want 3 jurors and 9 sheep. If you convince the 3 jurors they will bring the sheep along in the end.
For a foreperson I was always looking for a blue collar manager -- usually a man. The arch type was someone who could give instruction in a non-condescending manner that didn't seem like overt manipulation.
I didn't like hard science professionals either -- like engineers -- they tend to be too linear in their thinking and resist being convinced by inferential evidence.
The Clancy jurors we have heard from violated my rules. It's hard to be too critical of the prosecutors, however, without knowing who they used their challenges to keep off.
For all we know they were worse.

26 Magical thinking.

There is no processing of information, there's no fixed foundation of logical processes that take in information and process it regularly and predictably.

There is a fixed and immutable output. Whatever inputs are presented, the machinery writhes and wriggles and reconfigures until that fixed endpoint of the determined output is matched.

It's as if their physical meat brains are literally functioning like an LLM going through perpetual training sets and dutifully altering all its nodes to give the correct results.

We were out of the jury room with a guilty verdict in no time. Sometimes common sense does win out.

36 yeah - picking the jury is the real major issue. Some times you get a bad panel. But you do try to avoid certain types, while the other side is trying to put those types on the panel.

Its the most important part of a trial, and it tends to be a bit of a crap shoot. You never know for sure. You make educated guesses. You try to check social media if you can. That's pretty much it.

I kept a nurse on once. I broke my own rule. It worked out okay, because she had been a defendant and had been through the process of being sued. I think the other side left her on because they were convinced I would kick her off and they used their strikes on other jurors....

39 Lotsa reports on how Juror Number Hero wasn't receptive to these idiots.

My very confident take on what really happened is Juror Number Hero saw from the very jump -- probably as soon as the jury was picked, before the trial even started -- that this jury was a lost cause of bitter hormonal Karens and incel cucklets.

Hero apparently made some effort to make his point with the exercise bands, if the incel cucklet's story is true.

But surely during deliberations Hero realized there was no force on earth that would change the minds of the bitter hormonal Karens and incel cucklets.

So Hero basically then just said "Fuck you, I'm not engaging you lunatics, and I'm not changing my vote. Suck my dick."

54 "He also accused the still-unnamed holdout, who hung the jury in an 11-1 deadlock leading to the mistrial, of seeming disengaged during the deliberations, saying he would frequently be scrolling his phone while people were talking to him."

They allow phones in the fucking jury room on a highly-publicized case like this??

This can't be right. That would be insane and support the conspiracy theory -- which is looking more and more possible -- that the state deliberately assfucked its own case, and everyone was in on it.

62 I was on a jury years ago on a rape case. We convicted the defendant of rape. But given the circumstances I was sure beyond a reasonable doubt the woman was a prostitute and the guy and the woman got caught fucking in an apartment parking lot. She ran off and when the police found her down the she accused the guy of rape.

The whole trial was a stupid shitshow with the defendant bringing in "witnesses" from the jail cell to vouch for him and the woman unable to explain why she was walking down the street in the bad part of town at 3am going from a party at a friends house to another apartment five miles away across several highways.

I figured the guy was on probation or something and wasn't going to cop to soliciting a prostitute and decided to take his chances with a jury. Stupid him.

I don't get the "wouldn't engage" criticism.

If the juror had made up his mind as to guilt (in this case),

why does he need to politely listen to impolite haranguing?

Esp as it would be the same arguments repeated just louder and angrier.

I suppose he could've said something like, "I find your argument unpersuasive."

But, you know, that would've been considered "not engaging" too.

93 Nurses should have never been on that jury. The entire case was jury tampering; threats & intimidation to the lone man; the coven of Karens knowing BEFORE the trial how they would vote.

In voir dire professions are asked. People are thrown out if they match the defendant in a normal trial. The prosecution allowed this to happen! Were they part of this??? Unreal. Worse daily!

I am a RN BSN, traditional training. Not an online degree. Fine for RN's going for BSN or MSN, but I disagree that they get the same experience or education as I did as a classmate of Florence Nightingale for an all online RN.

Since covid I cringe a lot about nurses. I sort of swept the tic tok dancing during covid as a one off, a fake, a whatever it is crazy times. Now, post Murderess Clancy, not as sure.

A labor and delivery RN strangled her own 3 babies in a premeditated murder. One by one. Not a whoopsie! I killed my kid and what is wrong with me!?! calls 911!

The one thing I wonder about is revenge to hurt her husband.Not postpartum psychosis when the baby is 8mo old. Premeditated, planned, researched how to kill.

117 We’ve seen plenty of tik toks by women nurses saying they’d let a maga patient die and things like that.

Are all women nurses like that? Obviously not. But there are a lot of them.

Posted by: Sandy Cocazio Ortez at September 10, 2026 02:49 PM (Y08do)

118 It isn't as subtle as one would think. At one time, a Teacher or Nurse was practically the extent of female employment opportunities. Telephone operator, or maybe airline Stewardess.

Consequently competition was fierce and standards were very high. Mom was an RN, wore the uniform, hat, and pin and the rest of it. Nurses Training. They were well educated in the true sense and tough and competent, because the Doctors and Hospitals of the day demanded no less.

Once the job markets opened up, there was no incentive to be a Teacher, where more lucrative financial opportunities lay. So in recent decades the quality of the individual who is drawn to that field has cratered. There is a feedback loop mechanism going on here as well.

Stupid teachers produce, on average, less than capable students. They might go on to a Teaching profession themselves, as they can't do anything else.

Let's get rid of Math and Science while we're at it, guys. Way too hard! Math is hard! Plus, it's all that old white supremacy stuff anyhow.

It's not unusual for ADAs do most of the actual cases and trials. The top DA is more of a manager and decision-maker.

It's also odd that this case sat around for over three and a half years before the trial. It's a factually simple case where the defendant admitted she killed the victims. By contrast, Karmelo was tried about a year after he murdered AM.

Something happened to the LC case along the way. Not sure what, but so many odd occurrences and red flags.

136 A couple of weeks ago Steve Sailer had reason to revisit the OJ murders (specifically the "chase") and remarked in passing that it was his opinion that Marcia Clark was of the opinion that female solidarity would lead a conviction, and happily agreed with OJ's defense to seat a jury of mostly black females.

I have to wonder if this DA was affected a similar misjudgement, possibly thinking mothers would recoil from supporting a defendant who killed her own children, and nurses would be better at understanding the toxicology evidence.

There has always been psychopathic tendencies in a lot of people, but the "uptight" and "oppressive" cultural norms held people in place. They were in fixed roles. Women tend to police this (in religion and elsewhere) as they see it as showing their value to the community.

When we "let it all hang out" we also let all the psychopaths hang out.

Yea, but unless MA is unlike every other state I'm aware of, the judge has the option to dismiss jurors for bias and other obvious defects.

I've been dismissed from several jury pools by the judge, before the prosecution or defense even started making strikes or even asking questions.

187 t's not unusual for ADAs do most of the actual cases and trials. The top DA is more of a manager and decision-maker.

It's also odd that this case sat around for over three and a half years before the trial. It's a factually simple case where the defendant admitted she killed the victims. By contrast, Karmelo was tried about a year after he murdered AM.
==
Not really that odd. Three years is longer but it depends on the jurisdiction and then there were about six expert witnesses and a rebuttal expert so that process probably added about a year. You get a speedy trial if you want it - if you don't you just tell the judge you need another expert -

213 Yea, but unless MA is unlike every other state I'm aware of, the judge has the option to dismiss jurors for bias and other obvious defects.

I've been dismissed from several jury pools by the judge, before the prosecution or defense even started making strikes or even asking questions.

I doubt it counts against the prosecution's strikes if a juror says during voir dire that she won't ever convict no matter what.
Posted by: Elric The Blade
=====
Fair number of states require a motion for the judge to strike a juror for cause (bias or incapacity to serve-felon, illegal, mental illness, etc.). Judge cannot do it de novo without a motion. Dunno about Mass. Could look it up but too lazy.

But at least in the jurisdictions I am most familiar with in the South, judges require a motion from either side to start the ball rolling right after questioning the juror. And often the judge then gets involved in asking questions as well.

If the judge denies the motion, only then do lawyers use a strike.

241 Brave AI:

In 1800, the federal government did not mandate a specific voting age or universal requirements, leaving these qualifications to individual states. The standard baseline in most states was 21 years of age for white male property owners who were often required to be Protestant.
Key characteristics of voting requirements at that time included:
Age: 21 was the universally accepted age of legal majority for voting, derived from British common law.
Gender and Race: Voting was largely restricted to white men; a small minority of states allowed free Black men and some states permitted unmarried or widowed property-owning women to vote.
Property and Tax: Most states required voters to own a certain amount of land or personal property, or to pay a specific amount in taxes, based on the belief that voters needed a "stake in society."
Religion: Several states imposed religious tests, requiring voters to be Protestant, though these barriers were gradually being removed (the last religious prerequisite was eliminated by 1810).

Social media amplifies the lunatics and as the trial became The Biggest Story in America, the story became less about the trial than people's reactions to the trial. So of course the most outrageous opinions were amplified.

I doubt the Lyndsay Lunatics were more than a small fraction of women overall. It was some deranged, look-at-me attention whores on social media, a gaggle of fat bored white ladies at the trial, and lotsa almost-certainly-fake social media stories about friends of friends.

Dick's contrivances get really apparent the more SVU episodes you watch, like defendants losing it on the stand right when they're about to win and the cultural nonsenses, like when SVU detectives have to join forces with state troopers from Kansas (who are just right then dealing with a school shooting). All that was charming in it's own bad right, but then the actress who plays Olivia Benson became an executive producer and then SVU became "The Liv Show". Liv then adopted a kid, who obviously became gay (and bi I think) as the show progressed.

251 Fair number of states require a motion for the judge to strike a juror for cause (bias or incapacity to serve-felon, illegal, mental illness, etc.). Judge cannot do it de novo without a motion. Dunno about Mass. Could look it up but too lazy.
==
Well almost but not quite. There are statutory reasons to strike a prospective juror. THe list varies but the most common one is where the prospective juror is an employee of the defendant - thus their income is dependent potentially on that defendant's solvency. So it is often the case that the people fill out a questionairre indicating their employement and they can be steered away from conflicts. But people change jobs. In my AOO the biggest employers are Health care entities that I defend. It takes a while sometimes to pick a jury because the prospetice jurors, or spouses work for the defendant. The judge just kicks them off after the Judge's initial voir dire - may inform you at sidebar that she/he is doing it and if you want to bitch about it has the reporter come over. There are other statutory reasons.

271 One thing I notice in all this hideousness news today, including the Murderess Clancy trial: God is never mentioned.

Her husband argued with the shrink who said she might be bipolar, as he could not accept that she had a HUGE problem with her ongoing depression. He has a role in this. Maybe others she knew who could not accept that she is insane and probably manipulated them. Dunno.

Doesn't matter as those babies are dead and she has 3 millstones around her neck and had jolly well better repent.

Not once is God mentioned in her backstory or by anyone of the cold blooded murder of three innocent children.

Not once is God mentioned with pro-abortionists. Or, in MA where it is ok to kill babies at term.

325 303 My girlfriend in Italy was from Indiana, and her father was a federal magistrate court judge.

Apparently he had a really bad meeting with Alberto Gonzalez when they were looking for people to be promoted to district courts through appointments under W. Gonzalez was looking for people who would support the president through the courts, which is just all bad, I guess.

My grandparents worked for the Adminstrative Office of the US Courts. My step grandfather (maternal grandfather died in WWII in the P.I.) was originally a clerk for the FBI during the early Hoover era and then switched over to the court system in the 40's. Last job he held was chief of personnel for AOUSC.

Grandmother started working for the federal marshal 's service and then switched over to the courts. Both retired in the 80's but knew all the DC judges including a fair number of Scotus judges.

328 After she sent her husband to find, among other items, otc med. that she knew was not available in their routine drugstore, she took her daughter (4 days a week preschool) down to the exercise side of the basement and strangled her. She got her 3 yr old son (also in preschool though less days) and took him down to the basement and strangled him in her husband's office. (She may have placed that child in a closet.) She then got the 8 month old boy and strangled him next to his sister. Reportedly, she went upstairs to the kitchen and got the knife and poked and/or slashed around. She then returned to the basement and stood near the baby where her blood was pooled on the carpet.
She heard the garage door. She ran upstairs through the kitchen to the steps leading upstairs and locked the bedroom door from inside. She went out the back window. (There were others on the side of the room. However, the back placed her directly opposite of the front of the house's garage entry.)

Remember the baby was in the hospital for several hours as it was being established whether he was truly dead/brain dead. And could have easily killed herself before or after killing the children.

I have a real problem with the fact that a single member of that jury is in very real danger for doing nothing other than taking his job seriously and voting how believed to be correct. How could the "its one male holdout" become public knowledge, and just as importantly how can such a thing be prevented in future proceedings?

330 When mothers are prosecuted for killing or severely abusing their children, the legal system divides them into 2 distinct tracks based on their medical evidence and psychological diagnosis.

Track 1, Psychotic Break. Typically found not guilty by reason of insanity, etc. & committed to a high security psychiatric hospital. Commitment is usually indefinite.
Track 2 - Maltreatment/Abuse. Convicted of 1st degree murder or felony child abuse & then sent directly to a standard max security state prison.

In MA, a 1st degree murder conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison, period.

The connection between the criminal defense & the ongoing financial and civil litigation is one of the most polarizing aspects of this case. The civil suits alleged a catastrophic failure by medical providers to properly diagnose and monitor her, and prescriptions she was given induced her manic psychosis. A criminal conviction of intentional murder severely damages or dismantled the civil lawsuits.

Medical malpractice and wrongful death lawsuits have been filed targeting specific healthcare systems, hospital, and medical providers who treated Lindsay Clancy.

Posted by: L - No nic... at September 10, 2026 03:30 PM (NFX2v)

331 months leading up to the murders: McLean Hospital, Women & Infant Hospital of Rhode Island; South Shore Health Systems, Inc.; Aster Mental Health, Inc.; Dr. Jennifer Tufts, M.D.; Rebecca Jollotta, CNP; Dr. Alia Goodheart, M.D. & Dr. Zobeida Diaz, M.D.

The husband's suit was filed as the personal rep. of the children's estates. (His wife is legally disqualified from inheriting from the children.) The wife's & mother's suit is a personal injury claim. Any payout from this suit is designated to fund her lifetime disability, medical care, and specialized housing.

Lindsay's legal team are trying to secure a multi-million dollar private payout so that her private estate, a medical trust, would handle her medical expenses rather than not as good, perhaps or definitely, state-funded care.

If she wins as insane, the civil suits are strong. If she loses, they could be kaput, along with standard prison and treatment.

So she wants to die, huh?

I had to bring my kitten to the vet today. Kindly spouse drove there in his break between bus runs .Kitten is about four months old, and has only been there once before. He cries the entire way in his carrier and it sounds pathetic . I imagine him saying "Nooooooooo" in cat talk. I don't think he's too jazzed by being in a car either and he knaws on the door of the carrier. He was a perfect gentleman while there though He wasn't in pain just needed a shot. The vet and the tech liked him as well

336 Don't think of unmarried women's voting patterns as completely irrational because then you come away with no answers.

Again look at it through the lens of Uncle Sugar giving them bennies, money, jobs, and meaning.

All the things they would have gotten if they got married and had kids (well, not all of them right Mrs Clancy)

So yes the argument we should persuade women that married life and motherhood is a better choice then being a Karen married to Uncle Sugar. And that feeds into things that a smart conservative president would try to do...like make it financially more viable for a married woman to stay home with kids...

Here’s a palette cleanser for you. Last October I was in the recovery room after hernia surgery and had the nicest young RN (and not a foreigner!). It was a month after Charlie Kirk was murdered. I noticed she was wearing a cross necklace. You know how when you’re talking to someone and they’ll say something where maybe one word indicates they’re conservative? I can’t remember what she had said, but I then said something slightly conservative. We ended up talking about CK, Trump, left wing loons etc. She admitted how she keeps her views to herself at the hospital. She’s an anomaly but they’re there.

And I did not say that was not the case. I questioned whether it was "overwhelming" and noted that certain demographics were more conservative.

I believe the majority of progressive people are women, but its not an overwhelming majority of all women. Although I guess I have to limit my comments to the US. Because worldwide I think the progressive narrative is winning over both sexes.

Dunno. Active versus passive makes a difference. I have no interest in commenting on X despite having an account. Ditto for a lot of other places nowadays. I think social media is more likely to reinforce opinions and deepen them by affirmation than it is to lead them astray in the first place.

Again, mentally and emotionally stronger people who know what they believe and why they believe it are less influenced by it than others. Maintaining frame makes a helluva lot of difference and thus those people are more willing to be the odd objector to the consensus if it matters to them personally.

I do think that social media is more successful at leading women into a group think narrative than it is men. I think it is the "social" aspect of the app. Women just have a greater need to be part of a group although men are not immune.

I have had to deprogram my very intelligent conservative wife, from stupid shit she has seen on the internet and bought hook line and sinker. And no she didn't appreciate it at the time. I would not have believed she could succumb, but she did. Fortunately, taking ego out of the equation enabled the logic to kick back in to drive and she is more cautious about jumping on board a meme train.

Yeah, that's the whole point behind all of this. Ever notice that the left never puts up a victim who is actually a victim? Like some guy who actually got beaten by the cops for no reason? It's always someone 1) clearly guilty and b) a member of a "victim" class. The whole point is to gin up division based on the class rather than the facts of the case.

Women aren't voting for the Dems enough. Midterms are coming up. Publicize a case like this, pump up the crazies on TikTok, then leverage the backlash to convince women the evil right wants to take their rights away.

An epidemic to hurt the father by killing their kids. Revenge killing and causing the most pain possible for the father.

Not just in MA but a recent case in NY. Days before he was to have his summer with them as ordered by the court in another state. The mother and grandmother killed the kids then themselves.

I'd vote for death by the way they killed someone if found guilty and death sentence.

German Chancellor Merz: Sending Aliens Back to Their Home Country Would be "Ethnic Cleansing"

Last year, Merz signed a supposedly hardline bill against further illegal immigration.

He didn't mean a word of it, of course. He is attempting to create a paper trail showing he accepts the popular judgment on unending mass migration from the third world, while not taking any action to actually stop it.

As AfD grows in support, he will attempt further fake demonstrations of his commitment to enforce the border.

Germans must not believe him when he inevitably lies. His true feelings are that deporting any "asylum" seekers or illegal aliens is "ethnic cleansing."

Obviously he is never, ever going to do something he views as being on par with shipping the Jews to Dachau.

But he will claim he's willing to do this, as his party, and all the rest of the corrupt Regime parties, lose further support.

Germany's sovereigntist, anti-mass-migration Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) party pulled off a historic result in state elections in Saxony-Anhalt at the weekend, pushing the country's longstanding default party of government the Christian Democrats (CDU) into a distant second and leaving all other parties as also-rans. The result has sent shock waves through German politics and brought the leadership of national Chancellor Friedrich Merz into question, which seems to have sent the otherwise mild-mannered lawyer into a tailspin of despair, in which he has made increasingly outlandish threats and comments against the AfD, painting them as an outright threat to the German nation.
On Wednesday, Merz responded to one of the flagship policies of the AfD -- that migrants who are in Germany illegally should actually be made to leave, rather than endlessly tolerated -- to call it ethnic cleansing. The charge has obvious historic connotations in Germany and caused something of a firestorm. Merz said on Wednesday that the party's "remigration" policy is "nothing other than ethnic cleansing based on skin color and origin".

Well, yes, demanding that foreign illegal aliens return to their actual countries, while actual Germans are allowed to remain in Germany, is a remigration policy based on "origin." To declare this some kind of racist, Nazi-esque measure is to announce that, in the mind of the Regime, there is simply no difference whatsoever, legally, between real citizens and foreign migrants.

He's announcing that the German government can make no distinctions between Germans and foreign interlopers.

Because it is racist for a country to "discriminate" in favor of its own citizens.

Merz further claimed that if deportations took place, German society would simply collapse. Speaking directly to AfD members in the German Parliament, he went on to say: "You are part of the problem we have in Germany -- and we will resist that with everything at our disposal".

And he does mean everything, including simply banning this party that represents popular opinion and which is therefore anathema to the Davos/Soros Regime.

Merz has previously questioned the wisdom and practicality of essentially ending democracy in Germany to "save democracy," but he appears to be warming to the idea:

The ethnic cleansing line follows other remarks by Merz on Monday, who addressed the federal executive of the CDU to promise he would use government power to prevent AfD dissidents from taking power. As reported:

Germany has a considerable security state, including political police. These organisations are a legacy of the post-Second World War and Cold War political settlements, when it was thought Germany's constitution needed inbuilt protections against democracy of a magnitude practically unknown elsewhere in the Western world. Convinced that the public voting against endless open borders is an emergency justifying the use of these powers, Merz is reported to have said on Monday he would use "all the instruments" in Germany's "strong constitution" to defend the nation against "a right-wing extremist state government".

Or maybe he won't need to go all the way. Maybe he can just count on the EU to economically strangle Saxony-Anhalt for rejecting the Davos-Soros Regime.

Beege Wellborne notes the German media is discussing the possibility that the EU will apply sanctions to the region until it votes the Only Permitted Way.

It has already been standard practice in Hungary and Poland: the EU froze funding. Should a potential AfD government in Saxony-Anhalt also violate fundamental EU rights, the state faces a payment freeze -- and thus a financial shortfall.
Saxony-Anhalt will receive [Euros] 2.95 billion from the current EU budget, which covers the years 2021 to 2027. This funding will be used for projects including school renovations, comprehensive refurbishments of gymnasiums and daycare centers, and the purchase of modern medical equipment for hospitals.
Saxony-Anhalt is the German state that receives the most EU regional funding per capita. Now, the AfD could soon be governing in Magdeburg. A party that, according to Green MEP Daniel Freund, acts against the European project and the European Union -- "and then, if necessary, the European Commission would have to withhold funds."

Communism-curious authoritarian Angela Merkel says her "heart is bleeding" over AfD's victory.

Andrew Stuttaford says that Merkel is responsible for the AfD's rise.

The Daily Telegraph:
Angela Merkel said her "heart is bleeding" after the state election victory by the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in Saxony-Anhalt.
Sad. But, according to the newspaper, "analysts have accused the former chancellor of paving the way for the AfD."
Analysts are right. The AfD was born as the "professors' party" founded by two free-market economists and others opposed to the eurozone bailouts made possible by Merkel. A preference for a more restrictive immigration policy was a secondary strand in the AfD's platform, but that changed after Merkel's narcissistic and reckless decision to throw open Germany's doors in 2015. The free-market strain can still be found here and there within the AfD, but Merkel's refusal to countenance serious dissent to her policy within the center-right created an opening of which the AfD, transforming itself into a party of the populist right, took full advantage.
And the AfD only benefited further when Merkel, infuriated by popular opposition to her folly, became one of the pioneers of online censorship. As I noted in an essay in National Review in 2018:

The mainstream media had enthusiastically echoed the chancellor's Willkommenskultur narrative of kindly Germans cheerfully greeting the migrants, but establishment unanimity was not enough for the instinctively authoritarian Merkel. Her less "welcoming" compatriots had found an audience on social media. That would not do.
Merkel thus endorsed a new censorship law, with the catchy name Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz. By doing so, she undermined her already tatty democratic credibility and reinforced the ability of the AfD to distinguish itself from the Kartellparteien ("cartel parties").

That is, they mean, what we'd call the Regime, or the corrupt Uniparty.

I want to draw a point here...ethnic cleansing wasn't traditionally about *ORIGIN* as in when the African countries sent people of European origin home after they got independence no one called that ethnic cleansing. And traditional ethnic cleaning INVOLVED bringing in people from another origin.

What is the point in removing ethnic group X if it isn't for your own ethnic group to take their land?

In the 5th or 6th century, a vampire in Germanic Europe hears tales of his fellow vampires falling to a new magic from the south, so he flees east. He reaches Japan and becomes a warlord for a millennia, aging himself and pretending to be his own son generation after generation.

Then, the Portuguese missionaries arrive, and he's confronted with the magic that drove him from Germany a thousand years ago.

70 Does AFD just want to deport illegal aliens or do they also want to revoke German citizenship that has been granted to foreigners and deport them too? My understanding of the word "remigration" is that it targets more than just illegals.

AfD's official position is sending home everyone who isn't their legally, fake refugees and visa overstayers.

Obviously within AfD some people want to go further and reverse the invasion but if AfD does finally win you are getting basically Trump's politics on immigration no more.

I think that if the working and middle classes of one of the Euros-

5. I have watched this with bemusement for decades. Europe is heavily influenced by USA, and since the 70s (Windrush -- named after the ship that carried the Caribbeans to UK) They seemed to think that there were parallels.

The Europeans were always thinking they were going to show the Americans how not to be a racists POS colonial. But that was absurd as (a) they had much much fewer, and (b) their only problems was one of their own making. They had no legitimate reason to import foreigners (not even former colonial subjects) and they never came with the crime problem the US had in the 60s and 70s with *our* minorities.

But they were all so fucking superior they thought they could import a bunch of 3rd worlders and show the Americans how it's done. It is like setting yourself on fire to show a burn victim how to stop drop and roll.

Or was it all just propaganda to replace the whites?

Then the Germans decided they needed cheap labor to compete with Germany and Japan in the 90s. Think about that for a sec. -- Yeah, our bigggest problem is we pay our workers too much -- that was the main driver behind all the migrration. Always has been from the pakis in UK mill towns to ...

Got it for free through Amazon Gaming forever ago. But it's a huge game, and I never installed it. Got a new memory card, installed it...and now I spend hours walking around Bavaria hoping to be attacked by bandits to increase my agility skill a bit more so I can use that sword I stole 12 hours ago.

First game is a lot of fun; just can't play it like you would a normal FPS. Combat system kind of punishes button mashing; i enjoyed the tutorial. I haven't played the second game yet although I did purchase it. Heard some grumblling about the 2nd one having g*y sh*t that wasn't in the first. I'm playing Blood of Dawnwalker at the moment so it will be a while before I go back to Deliverance.

142 Interestingly, there is one particular group of immigrants that Germany is happy to ethnically cleanse.

On September 8–9, 2026, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said Berlin “knows who lives here” (via registration, social benefits, and residency records) and could share that information with Kyiv so Ukrainian authorities can contact men about conscription. He explicitly added that any return should happen “without coercion.” He was responding to calls from CSU leader Markus Söder that military-age Ukrainian men should go back.

Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Oleksiy Makeiev, confirmed in July 2026 that a joint working group is discussing mechanisms—especially for men who left Ukraine illegally—but he declined to give details. Emphasis has been on “Unity Hubs” in Germany that inform people about opportunities back home and on information exchange rather than forced removal.

Don't worry - going back to Ukraine will be completely voluntary - for now.

I have a decent workflow now. Pain in the ass, but I have a good idea of how long things take.

I can edit the harder videos (the Directors Series and Frame of Reference videos) in like 2 days now. And that's at a leisurely pace. The ranking videos take just about 3x as long as the actual runtimes. They're easy. So, my Tati ranking (coming tomorrow) took about 90 minutes to edit.

I've decided that all yootoob strategic analysis is produced by a grunting wildebeest squatting in a TV studio. For example, Sarah Paine is damned good at analyzing history, and has a lot of great insights into the past, but she needs to keep her tongue behind her teeth when it comes to anything to do with present day international relations, because she's a dumbass on those subjects.

On the other hand, you have ass spelunkers like Peter Zeihan, who does okay with history (where he can look up the results in a book), but puts out the weirdest shit when it comes to looking at the near future. "Canada's refusal to ban poutine will inevitably result in The Great Solar Panel War when North Korea invades Botswana after buying the HMS Victory from King Charles and sailing it from the Thames directly to the battlefield in Southern Africa!"

Freedonia has been in the news for its terrible state of affairs recently...

I'd be unworthy of the high trust that's been placed in me if I didn't do everything in my power to keep our beloved Freedonia in peace with the world. I'd be only too happy to meet with Ambassador Trentino, and offer him on behalf of my country the right hand of good fellowship. And I feel sure he will accept this gesture in the spirit of which it is offered. But suppose he doesn't. A fine thing that'll be. I hold out my hand and he refuses to accept. That'll add a lot to my prestige, won't it? Me, the head of a country, snubbed by a foreign ambassador. Who does he think he is, that he can come here, and make a sap of me in front of all my people? Think of it - I hold out my hand and that hyena refuses to accept. Why, the cheap four-flushing swine, he'll never get away with it I tell you, he'll never get away with it.

MEGYN KELLY: "I desperately want Erika to not be the CEO of Turning Point just because I just want to save her from this. It's not that she hasn't done a great job. It's just... I feel like if she would just stop that a lot of this would go away and I would like to see her spared it and you can't stop people on the internet from saying what they're going to say. But my second thought on it, Frank, is that with every attack that's launched on her, she becomes a greater superhero because she she doesn't bow to it."

I rather suspect that the later Swagger novels were ghost-written, like the later Tom Clancy books. Lots of continuity errors, like getting Bob Lee's wife's name wrong...

But the early books were fantastic. He had a way of introducing moral ambiguity and sadness into the action that elevated airport paperback page-turners into something special. Like with Point of Impact, his first book, where the evil military contractor corporation is shown to have organized a great atrocity in a Central American war that actually ended up saving untold thousands of lives by ending the war.

275 Growing up, Yugoslavia was always held up as an exemplar -- "see, it works there!"

I was always skeptical. I mean, did it work? would it work in non-totalitarian state?

I hired a Yugoslavian before the war and he had so so much hate for his countrymen. It was crazy. Then the war. He enjoyed seeing his homeland blown to bits as long as they got every last one of those damn Serbs!

I thought after that the Left would give up on their "inclusive" idea as it was obvious that high trust society requires low diversity. Nah, they just doubled down on the lies.

Stop. I'd more prefer to hand her a blade or help with the rope & then leave her to her own devices afterwards.

She's 'like a daughter.' 3 1/2 yrs to "want her babies," as it's being splashed around on tv. Every day, now she wants her babies, HE SAYS.

3 1/2 years to stop eating, drinking, bathing, etc. She sat on her princess ass in the institution and turned down its therapy and counseling. She showed up in court with curled hair until Nancy Grace or someone similar called the defense team out on tv. And she sobbed theatrically with her head down on the table sometimes during the testimony of her children's deaths, or wrote notes to primary defense. Pitiful she had to sit there and listen to that testimony from so many experts.

Her frigging defense team is going whole hog on msm. It's a disgrace what they are stirring up now. imho, of course.

And there had been more jurors who wanted her found criminally liable earlier on. Pound and scare them enough with what could come and you get 11-1.

Well they aren't in power in Germany as a whole so I'd guess their ability to change things is limited. And likely they will have issues with the local bureaucrats about policy but they can probably do something there.

And the idea of the EU sanctioning a portion of Germany should shock all of the German parties or states, not just the AfD.

Republican National Convention: Trump Promises $5000 Rebate If Republicans Keep Congress, John Fetterman Endorses Pennsylvania Republican Senator Dave McCormack, Promises to Work With Trump

Trump laid out the stakes at play.

"In 55 days, Americans will be going to the polls in one of the most important elections in our country's history. Your vote will decide whether our country stumbles at the starting gate of the next 250 years or surges forward and never ever looks back," he said.
"We hand America's future to the radical left Democrats, and our nation will spend the next decade just getting back on its feet. It will be a tragedy. Vote Republican, and we will leave the world in our dust for generations to come. There'll be nothing like it," he added.
Trump stressed that 35 key races will decide the majorities in the Senate and House come November. Republicans hold the Senate with a 53-47 majority over Democrats and independents in their caucus, and in the House, Republicans hold a 218-214 majority. Republicans look to defend key Senate seats in Texas, North Carolina, Iowa, and Ohio, and can flip Democrat seats in Michigan, Maine, and Georgia. Trump carried all of these states, except for Maine, in 2024. He intends to visit every state where a race is on a knife's edge.
"We have a very short period of time, and we really have 35 races. They all count, but we have 35 races that are, I guess you'd call swings, right? Like we had seven swing states, we won all seven, right? Yeah. So I said, not that I'm looking for the work. You know, I said the other day I got so much of a schedule. I said, 'I thought I won. What do I have to do? I'm campaigning,' But I am. We're campaigning to make it incredible," he said.
"The ones that are very close--they might be winning by a little, or losing by a little, or tied--we can win every one of those races," he said. "But I'm going to go to every one of those states for congressmen and Senators... and we're going to have rallies just like this."

As part of his pitch -- and to combat the Democrats' "affordability" op -- Trump promised that he would rebate $5000 to every adult, to be paid out of tariffs collected from foreign producers.

This almost certainly won't happen and there's not enough money collected from tariffs to even do this.

President Donald Trump pledged that he will send a $5,000 dividend to all American adults if Republicans hold their majorities in Congress in November.
Trump made the promise in what he called maybe "the best part" of his keynote address at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday before a packed crowd at the American Airlines Center.
"If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our... tremendous economic success--like in history we've never had anything like what's happening--but because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000," Trump said.
"Very much like a successful company will do a cash distribution to its shareholders, or like last year when I gave our great members of the military $1,776. Remember?" he added.
Trump tethered one condition to the incentive.
"The only caveat I have is that the dividend that we're making must be spent in the United States of America," he said. "We don't want you going to Canada to spend the money. We don't want you going to China, to Germany. You got to spend the money in the United States of America."
He reiterated that the pledge will only kick in if Republicans win, and said that Democrats cannot make such a promise because they do not have a tariff policy.
"The reason the Democrats can't do that is because they don't do tariffs, they don't take in money. All they know is poverty and how to ruin our country. But we're making a fortune. So if the Republicans win, you win with us, and you get $5,000," he said.

I see Democrats complaining -- except, all they do is promise to give some Americans money from other Americans. "Vote for us and we'll cancel your student debt and force other taxpayers to cover the hundreds of thousands of dollars you borrowed." "Vote for us and we'll give you free health care and free child care."

At least this promise, were it carried out, would be a rebate paid to everybody.

And, in theory, this is a rebate of taxes collected from foreign sellers. In other words, it's a rebate of a tariffs, which are tax-like. So it's a rebate for taxes paid.

I also see the Fake Corporate-Paid Cash-Money "Professional Conservative" Grifters showing how Severely Conservative they are by claiming this is Socialism and Illegal.

So I'm not really worked up about it. It's not going to happen -- Trump has made a similar promise before about rebating tariff money before, and that didn't happen.

Unpopular opinion: This is a brilliant political strategy, even if it's a dumb idea.
Let's be honest, Trump isn't going to lose any votes from his base because of this. A lot of fiscal conservatives (myself included) will point out giving out 1.2 trillion in stimulus checks when we're already 40 trillion in debt is just digging us deeper into a hole we already don't know if we can get out of, but at the end of the day what's the difference between 40 trillion and 41 trillion when we borrow almost 2 trillion a year anyway. 2.3 billion was given out in stimulus after COVID and we're still here so anyone screaming about hyperinflation is being dramatic.
Now, here's why it might actually be a brilliant move that could save us from economic collapse even though it makes no sense economically.
Trump didn't get this country 40 trillion in debt, Congress did. Yet regardless of that, every single year the left tells their voters they're going to spend more money and give them free shit and they keep, fucking, voting for them because they care about free shit more than they care about the debt.
The problem they're facing now is the only people getting free shit from the democrats are illegals, drug addicts, criminals, and fraudsters. The working class has been completely ignored and hasn't seen a dime from democrat leadership and they're the majority of the party.
Now think about all those forgotten men and women who just saw Trump offer them $5000 just for being an American citizen if they help us win instead of their leaders promising to spend their tax dollars on giving citizenship to illegals, getting criminals out of jail, and putting a vending machine with free heroin needles on every corner.
How many people do you think will take that deal and vote red in November for the first time? It's definitely not zero.
Democrats will destroy this country, and 1.2 trillion added to the debt will be nothing compared to what they'll spend if they regain power and push through their socialist agenda. So while I don't love the idea of Trump digging us a little deeper in the hole we're in, it's a lot better than handing the shovel to the left so they can dig our grave.

Lumpy Jack also made a surprise appearance at the Convention, introducing Republican Senator Dave McCormack, who is standing for re-election in Pennsylvania.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) crossed party lines Wednesday to address Republicans at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, saying that he stands with America and rejects socialism.
Fetterman addressed a room full of Republicans at the GOP's midterm convention, describing himself as a "common-sense Democrat" who rejects socialism and anti-American extremism.
In a video message played at the convention, Fetterman acknowledged that he was speaking to a Republican audience despite belonging to the opposing party.
"A big room of Republicans in Dallas. Yes, I'm Senator John Fetterman, Pennsylvania. Yes, I'm a Democrat," Fetterman said.
"Why am I here talking to you today? Because, well, I'm a common-sense Democrat," he continued. "I'm always going to stand with America. I'm always going to reject the extremes in socialism and that anti-American way of life."
Fetterman then praised Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA) and introduced the Republican senator to the crowd, putting their bipartisan friendship on display.
"Dave McCormick is the kind of senator that gets the job done, and he's going to fight for Pennsylvania. I'm proud to count him as my friend. Right back over my shoulder, that's the iconic U.S. steel mill, and that's exactly the kind of thing that will work together and will work with President Trump to fight and defend the steel way of life right here in the Steel Valley," Fetterman added.
"I have this opportunity to introduce this great American, a great senator, and yes he's in a different party, but I'm proud to count him as my great friend."
...
Despite his frequent clashes with fellow Democrats and his video appearance before Republicans, Fetterman made clear in July that he has no plans to leave the Democratic Party. He said his positions on abortion, LGBTQ issues, and labor would not fit within the Republican Party, even though he breaks with Democrats on issues such as Israel.
"I don't think that Republican Party wants a pro-choice, pro-gay, trans communities, federal union, and you look at my voting record...I disagree with my party on some issues, like Israel, for example," Fetterman said. "But you know, I am a Democrat, and if someone is frustrated in the Democratic Party, I would be frustrated with someone like Bernie Sanders."

Black Conservative Perspective, Government Name Greg Foreman, opined that Fetterman has no plans to become a Republican, but he's essentially threatening Democrats to stop running ops against him -- an account of "former Fetterman staffers" keeps making derogatory claims, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, against him -- or maybe he will caucus with Republicans. That sounds right to me.

Besides, for this not to be inflationary, you need to "destroy" an equal amount of money, ie taxes or fees or whatever da f***.

Again, resolve the situation in Iran, stabilize markets, bring down the price or petroleum and energy.

That alone would bring massive relief with economic knock on effects.

He's a leftist with one heterodox view that is going to sink him in the primary in 2028 so he can't win as a Democrat.

He's wondering if party switching will help, and gauging support.

I suspect that if he does try the party switch, he'll tank badly in the primary and end up with no one liking him because he is such a leftist.

I'd love to see him run as an independent, like Sinema didn't have the balls to do, just to tank the party he's part of that he obviously has growing disdain for. Even if he just pulls 5%, it's going to be majority Democrats uncomfortable with the new direction of the party which will be more than enough to give the senate seat to the GOP in a presidential year.

I don't like admitting this, but the one issue I'm almost all the way blackpilled on is our national debt. I'm sorry, we're not growing our way out of a $40T hole when we add $2T to it every year. Not happening. We are also not going to conjure up a Congress of fiscal hawks that have the means and stones to cut the Federal budget back to bare-bones so we can start paying it down.

I dont think Trump really understands that most of why he was elected in 2024 was because inflation was breaking people economically. It's why hispanics and blacks voted for him in record numbers, they were feeling real economic pain under Biden/Harris.

Inflation is "less bad" than it was, but it really should be zero right now.

59 Again, the entire "affordability" claim, is tied almost exclusively to the price of fuel and transportation.

The optimum price for a gallon of gas is around 2.50, it's over 4 f***ing dollars for regular and in some places diesel is over 8 bucks, that make filling up a tractor trailer a $2500 dollar proposition.

And for regular folks that turns a 30 dollar fill-up into an 80 or 100 dollar fill-up depending on the size of their gas tank.

Simply revert to the 1916 income tax tables. 2% starting at wages equal to $500,000 in today's confetti-bucks.

Nobody making 150 grand a year should be paying anything to a government with a printing press in the first place.

The government needed revenue in 1916 because the money supply was fixed, to some degree. What is there excuse now?

"It's the right thing to do" was Barky's answer, when a reporter asked him why would he be in favor, if taxing people at a higher level actually resulted in less revenue. Which it does.

True, but ... there has never been a moment in my life -- I'm Gen X -- where prices weren't a concern or people weren't complaining about them. My mom can't remember any moment in her life either.

Prices have been endlessly rising -- to varying degrees of inflationary deltas -- since cavemen times. It's inevitable.

The key to combat this is to (i) enact policies that grow wages and wealth, (ii) reduce taxes, and (iii) for consumers to use discretion in what they choose to buy vis-a-vis their income and wealth.

Trump is doing what he can on (i). Sadly, (iii) is beyond anyone's control, and has become a yuge problem.

Current oil prices are tied to speculation, not facts on the ground. All the oil that was getting out of the region pre-conflict is now getting out of the region mixed between pipelines and the ship to ship transfers. The speculation will hit the wall of reality soon enough.

Gas prices are tied to refinery capacity and the fact that summer just won't end. Also, Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, in particular for diesel.

Iran can't influence the oil market anymore except through press releases about things that didn't happen.

20% down is the standard I've always heard what what my banks have asked of me, but your point stands.

Even here in Central Texas, finding a decent house in a decent school district and not a 2+ hour drive from your work or anywhere else you'd need to be for less than $200k is a fool's errand. Unless you have mommy and daddy fronting you a down payment and a really good job right out of school, that's already out of reach, so good luck starting that family!

Current oil prices are tied to speculation, not facts on the ground. All the oil that was getting out of the region pre-conflict is now getting out of the region mixed between pipelines and the ship to ship transfers. The speculation will hit the wall of reality soon enough.

Gas prices are tied to refinery capacity and the fact that summer just won't end. Also, Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, in particular for diesel.

Iran can't influence the oil market anymore except through press releases about things that didn't happen.

But in the ordinary course of events, in the absence of crooked kings and potentates and politicians, prices for things go down. Not up. We've been trained to accept that half of our wealth is confiscated every 20 years, at minimum. And we owe tax on the "gains". Think about that, that's insane.

Better than an outright debt default overnight, and reneging on bond payments, and "cash on the barrelhead" for imports, like so many countries have undergone.

Is there a single currency still in existence from say, 1914? Other than the Dollar I mean. Sure, it's lost 99 per cent of its purchasing power since then, but technically it still spends. That has to be some sort of record.

Redistricting brought the number of safe GOP seats to about 213. Safe Democrat seats are about 205.

That leaves less than 20 total seats that are up for grabs for real this election.

We're talking coin flip results across those races that can go one way or the other.

Pure numbers, advantage does seem to be to the GOP, but turnout differential is always going to be a thing that advantages the party out of power.

a 50/50 split leads to a GOP majority. A 70-30 split advantage to Ds leads to a Democrat majority, but a bare one.

The 2020 redraw and the subsequent redistricting fights really just exploded the number of safe seats on both sides.

The DNC has scripted Narratives it is waiting sometimes years to deploy. Trump likes to disrupt those games by making his own headlines and reframing debates.

Bottom line he wants headlines and narrative and to disrupt their games. He knows like they do that voters are not deep thinkers.

D'swant to make it about ideology or a bad economy and "struggling" voters. This disrupts all of that and what's more they can't ignore it, they HAVE to fight it because it's like chum to the voter sharks.

Everyone, most of all potential D voters, wants their "cut" - and he does it without even flinching.

that they've actually become an existential and civilizational threat to the USA.

As a thought experiment: extend the Biden administration 4 more years into the future and what do we have at that point?

Nothing good or sustainable in my estimation.

Prior to the Depression, home loans were 50% down, usually in gold, 7 year notes, callable at any time.

It was the GI Bill and Home Loans that extended low interest, low down payments into 30 year mortgages. It worked beautifully, and then it turned into a huge scam. First collapse for Fannie Mae was in 1968. Milk it for all its worth, and then offload it back to the Government. Uncle Sam is good for it.

Mortgage Backed Securities. The notion that throwing a couple AAA loans into a tranch of shit, will magically make the whole thing AAA. Remember that nonsense? They did it all over again.

Also Gen X, but I think people complaining about inflation specifically has just not been much of a thing in my adult life. Things being expensive yes, but we really havent seen something like this since the late 70's/early 80's.

There were a lot of tailwinds that kept it in check, like globalization, e commerce, technology, etc.

But inflation for real world people has been way worse than the stats make them out to be. I would say the dollar has been devalued nearly 50% since 2020/Covid.

129 $5,000 rebate is both eloquent and tacky.

It's eloquent because it, somewhat, neuters the main campaign issue of costs (grocery, insurance, gas). Somewhat. At the same time, it sends a message to foreign countries that if they continue to challenge our negotiation tactics, there are more tariffs to be gifted.

It's tacky in that is akin to bribery for votes. And, a decade ago I would have drop kicked the idea like I would like to do to tiny yapping dogs. But, that's how our opposition plays the game, and I was adamant in my belief that the Republicans didn't know how to level the field and play the game to win.

Though I did acknowledge in the jury room that I was in law school, I did not play an active role in jury matters. I chimed in here and there on factual things but did not make an @ss of myself. One thing that I noticed is that despite admonitions not to talk about the case during breaks, that's what we did during breaks (not much else to do pre-smart phones). I found that that brought the jury together and we wanted to make the right decision. We were invested in doing the right thing and not just getting outta there ASAP.

Juror number 10 Nick Dargie said the holdout had every right to his opinion but that the reenactment using the same exercise bands left the room speechless.

“I was so shocked. We’re not here to play detective – it’s not a game of Clue. This is serious,” Dargie, 25, the fifth juror to come forward in the macabre case out of Duxbury, Mass., told ABC’s “GMA” in an interview that aired Thursday morning.

“I asked him why are you doing that? That’s a band that was used to strangle a child. That’s disgusting.”

Yea and add in the stock market values that have drastically increased wealth.

Sure, a big chunk was taken out of the purchasing power of a dollar because of Biden's runaway inflation. But DJ is over over 50% in the last 5 years. NASDAQ over 70%. Certain blue-chips like AAPL are up 125%.

So while the dollar lost some of its power, anyone with money in the market now has many more dollars.

Some people won't feel this because most if not all of their money is in 401k or retirement accounts. But they will feel the benefit of that when they retire.

Her platform included forcing office parks to repaint their parking spots so 50% were reserved for small cars.

She won. They cheered. The company that owned the office park repainted the lines. Since they mostly drove big trucks and SUVs and many were personally large they started banging each other's cars with their doors.

And then...they were outraged! Someone should sue the company! Someone should make them change parking spot size and on and on.

I pointed out the mayor they wanted did this and aren't they happy they were saving the earth? The answer...it wasn't her fault the company did it so stop blaming her.

And to stuff pockets with fat speculation profits ....

Part of the issue with prices of certain commodities -- such as oil -- is that they're futures markets. Those markets developed as a way to hedge against future prices to ensure a reasonably steady supply for acquiring the commodity itself.

But then pure speculators got into the futures markets, and they don't care about ever acquiring the commodity. They are solely interested in making profits on the delta. They are undesirable market participants, because the way they make money is generally to drive prices higher.

This is the idea behind redirecting the daycare center federal money from daycares to stay at home married parents.

-----------------
"No rational jury" - I bet there's a rational jury out there to be found:

Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer officially filed a Hail Mary bid Thursday asking a judge to find his killer client not guilty by reason of insanity – despite her high-profile case ending with a hung jury.

Defense lawyer Kevin Reddington argued in new court papers that prosecutors at her widely watched five-week trial failed to prove that the 36-year-old Duxbury, Mass., mother knew what she was doing was wrong and could follow the law when she strangled her three kids on Jan. 24, 2023.

“No rational jury could find beyond a reasonable doubt that she had no mental disease or defect when the Commonwealth’s own proof established that she did,” Reddington, 75, wrote in the papers.

214 Notice how the Clancy situation broke on party lines. (although one can argue more gender, you do not see too many vocal male defenders other than her Mephistopheles attourney.)

The left sees Clancy as an argument about abortion and Misogyny and no they don't understand why a mother killing her kids would outage other people since it was "her choice"

217 Every single time a president has been impeached, they've gotten stronger politically.

Trump's first impeachment was so bad for Democrats that they released covid, did mail in ballot fraud for months, and then shut down ballot counting across six states (300,000 illegal ballots in GA alone) in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall to barely give Biden an electoral college victory.

Democrats getting a majority of less than 5, starting an impeachment special subcommittee on day 1, and eventually working their way to an impeachment vote where 3-8 Democrats who won their elections in Trump+5 or better districts have to make a tough call...

It's honestly one of the best case scenarios for the next Congress, and that includes the GOP hanging onto the majority.

233 The best argument for the Clancy jury/girls I've run across is that they are viewing this through the mindset of their own abortions.

If she was wrong to kill her kids so were they, so better to argue she wasn't to blame...

Close but not it. Remember the inverted heat map: leftists care most about the things farthest from them personally and the least about their immediate family/friends/etc. So they want to make everyone's abortions OK even if they haven't had one themselves and are unlikely to be in that situation.

The American people and government had their chance to do something about the debt and deficit last year. It was called DOGE. The media, the Dems (BIRM), and most Republicans didn't want it, and were happy that Elon's dealerships got torched and he was run out of DC. The bigger problem was that after the GFC in '08, the Fed exploded the debt by injecting money into the economy, increasing the debt by almost an order of magnitude. The world didn't end, and we got out of the crisis. That taught lawmakers that the Chicken Little act was little more than an act. We took the wrong lesson from it, and short of a huge crisis down the road, Americans will never tackle the debt again. We're left with hoping we grow our way out of it - which Trump could pull off with reshoring and AI.

277 Unpopular opinion: This is a brilliant political strategy, even if it's a dumb idea.

Let's be honest, Trump isn't going to lose any votes from his base because of this.

Pretty much said this last night after the announcement. The point is to get the attention of GOP voters who normally ignore the midterms. I wish it wasn't necessary but if these people stay home, we lose. Happy to discuss alternatives, but naked bribery, distasteful as it is, looks like the most effective tool for the job...

282 Just to put this in a frame of reference. In 2000, a woman named Connie Milstein (a NY Socialite) was up in Milwaukee handing out free packs of cigarettes, cigars and lighters to homeless. All they had to do was get in a van, be driven to Town Hall to cast absentee votes of Al Gore.

She got caught doing so. And, her punishment?

Joe Biden installed her as US Ambassador to Malta while in office.

Well their "logic" is that if we didn't use/need oil, then the middle east would not have any meaning to us or power over us and we could just tell them to fcuk off. Its a pipe dream. Like pretty much everything else they "believe" in. But any effort to develop domestic power supply is counterintuitively also squelched by them, because they are mindless puppets being used in a game. Its emotion and fear. Hypermarketing techniques.

292 "The optimum price for a gallon of gas is around 2.50, it's over 4 f***ing dollars for regular and in some places diesel is over 8 bucks, that make filling up a tractor trailer a $2500 dollar proposition.

And for regular folks that turns a 30 dollar fill-up into an 80 or 100 dollar fill-up depending on the size of their gas tank."

Ummm. I understand your frustration, but $4 is 160 percent of $2.50. So that $30 fill-up is $48. Not nothing, but unless your gas tank is increasing in size along with inflation it's not 3 times as much.

The Morning Rant

This week's Art Thread choices have been focused on the glories of motherhood. Yes...there has been a theme! And that theme has been the importance and, actually, the superiority of women in our culture.

Why superiority? Because the unique ability of women is the bearing and rearing of children, and that is the most important thing that humans do. Is that controversial? I certainly hope not. But among the post-modern, anti-family, anti-civilization progressive movement in the West, the concept of "Woman," and the positive aspects of children have been subsumed in a deluge of feminism (all five waves!), increasingly hedonistic sexual mores, economic pressures that force women into the workforce, and recently the ascientific nonsense about transsexualism and gender.

Aside from the obvious goal of making all of humanity cogs in the infernal socialist machine, and destroying our individuality, these movements have diluted the importance of womanhood by making us interchangeable. Women in the workforce? Great, because they are just like men! Women who choose not to have children because of their careers or their desire to be unencumbered? Fantastic! Just like men! Women who choose sexual "freedom" by rejecting traditional social mores (and probably innate drives) for having children? Super! Men have been like that...forever! And most ridiculous but no less dangerous is the laughable idea that a man can become a woman: a bit of surgery, some hormones, a forgiving tailor, and poof!

But these are society-killing trends because of the decrease in the number of children being born in the West. It is civilizational suicide, and we are being replaced by fecund third-world denizens who have no interest in individuality, or for that matter Western Culture.

That is the demographic crisis, but there is a cultural and emotional crisis that is just as destructive. By degrading the position of "Woman" in our culture from the pinnacle, we have diluted the entire concept of womanhood. The glory of child-bearing and rearing has become a perceived burden...one that interferes with the hedonism of a post-modern world.

That link between mother and child -- that hopefully the art of the past four days has illuminated -- has been minimized and degraded and trivialized. It is the most powerful human imperative and emotion, and one that should be celebrated and honored. Instead, our current culture maligns it and laughs at it and stigmatizes women who embrace it. And even worse, culture now says that anyone can bear and raise children. Men? Sure! Why not? The popular definition of a woman is apparently anyone who wants to be one...can be one!

Except...men can never be mothers. Sure, there are many (maybe most?) men who are wonderful fathers and who partner with their wives to create fine children. But the position of "mother" is one that can only be filled by women, because they are designed, by God or evolution or whatever you wish to think, to nurture and defend children in ways that men simply cannot do, or even fathom.

That is as it should be, because the innocence of children needs a defender from the vagaries of the world, And women are simply better at it than men. And we don't need art to show us this! Our world has innumerable examples of the innate superiority of women as mothers. Just wander down to the nearest park and watch the moms.

Or even better, watch the mothers in your life and how they nurture and defend the innocent. Because that is what children are...innocents. And God (or nature) has endowed mothers with exactly the tools to be their defenders, in ways that the rest of us cannot.

My mother was the single most destructive force in my life from earliest memory. Nurture? Sure, if you mean inspiring suicidal self-hatred before I even hit puberty. So let's not go overboard with this women are inherently morally pure, gentle, loving and maternal beings rubbish. We're all born sinful. We need good women to be good mothers, no question. But this "superiority" nonsense is a bridge way too far.

53 >>Aside from the obvious goal of making all of humanity cogs in the infernal socialist machine, and destroying our individuality, these movements have diluted the importance of womanhood by making us interchangeable. . . . .

Also included in this: women being relegated to baby incubators for primarily gay couples*. Our Left, who is s keen on insisting it is Christian traditionalists who most mirror their "Handmaid" fiction, are much more closely turning women into Handmaids with the new surrogacy boom. As if making poor women incubate babies for a big payout wasn't bad enough, they treat said babies as a product that can be trashed if it proves to be defective. This dehumanizes and cheapens what is a wonderous process, turning it into human manufacturing.
Ghoulish!!

Posted by: polynikes at September 10, 2026 11:11 AM (KC5Lt)

I think what got her convicted was the fact that she sent him to the pond.

Of course, the kid (at 5) is already a competitive swimmer, so I don't see much risk there, but even that is beside the point.

The point is that we've deliberately created a society which sees ANY risk to children as something to be mitigated/condemned/avoided.

THAT is damaging people to an enormous degree, and we aren't even going to realize how badly for at least another generation.

Free will is the clincher for just about everything.

I've had conversations with friends in the past where I say something about 'God's plan' or 'everything happens for a reason' and 'free will' to which he response with "Well, if my life has been according to God's will, then f*ck him. My free will allows me to say that because he's got a whole lot of explaining to do."

Integral to that mindset is the idea that children, rather than being a blessing and a gift, are a burden that should be minimize for the Karen's fullest enjoyment of life.

That is not a problem from the 9 Angry Karens perspective.

1. Awful jury selection. Prosecutors sat a jury that had no chance -- ever -- of reaching a guilty verdict. Yes, I know: prosecutors don't always get the jury they want. But this jury might as well have been hand picked by the defense. No excuse for that.

2. Inexplicable trial strategy. As I said before, the prosecution witnesses all lined up to praise LC for being a "good mother," for "loving her kids," and other obsequious ball-licking. WTF? You can't win a prosecution if your witnesses basically testify for the defense.

127 I've noted this before, but women were fed a bill of goods that men were keeping all kinds of fulfillment and joy away from women by preventing them from being in the workplace.

So women DEMANDED that they be allowed into the workforce and not "forced" to stay at home with babies.

And they are now, as a whole, far more stressed, far less happy, and have far fewer children... while the increase in available workers has held down wages, so living on a single income is also far harder... making more women have to work and become far more stressed, far less happy, and have far fewer children...

134 Powerful words, cBD. Thanks.

Yet another aspect of all this to consider is the all too common notion that a woman can raise a child on her own, outside of marriage. This creates the false belief that the child can fulfill all of the mother's need for love, unconditional love. When that child fails to meet that expectation, what does the single mom do? Have another baby? Smother the first baby with overweening attention? Smother that first baby with a blanket for rejecting her? Look for love in all the wrong places? That expectation of unconditional love is a horrible burden to put on a child.

Among today’s recipients, most are 34–39 years old, with the youngest being 22.
The President underlined that the Order of Maternal Glory symbolizes a mother’s boundless love and dedication to her children’s well-being, and expressed heartfelt gratitude to all recipients.

Not quite. Mass has a rather stupid state standard set in Commonwealth v. McHoul (1967) where once the burden of proof by showing the judge that a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity is reasonable, then the STATE has the burden of proof to show beyond a reasonable doubt that person was sane enough to comprehend their actions and decided to do it anyway in going forward with the murders at the time when the murders happened. Comes from the idiots at the Model Penal Code project.

M'Naughten std from the 1800's British law, on the other hand, requires a defendant has to prove insanity under the clear and convincing evidence std (highest in civil law) that the defendant was insane at the time of the murder. Most states follow some form of M'Naughten test. A few allow a guilty but insane verdict which commits the person to a mental hospital to serve out their sentence. Personally, I think this is the way.

156 And, to extend CBD's point, that women are superior and nurturing is exactly why the Clancy rhubarb exemplifies our cultural crisis, the rotten core of American modernity.

Women need to reclaim their rightful place, and demand men do the same. Teaching American values of self-reliance and self-improvement, freedom, and civic responsibility to small children is infinitely superior than teaching "empathy" and "tolerance".

I think what got her convicted was the fact that she sent him to the pond.

Of course, the kid (at 5) is already a competitive swimmer, so I don't see much risk there, but even that is beside the point.

The point is that we've deliberately created a society which sees ANY risk to children as something to be mitigated/condemned/avoided.

THAT is damaging people to an enormous degree, and we aren't even going to realize how badly for at least another generation.

Especially when a 5 year old autistic kid just drowned in a pond b/c both parents purposely provided the kid the opportunity to do so...

I would not have convicted mom or even charged mom. But, a 5 year old is not allowed to go to a pool alone. Normally, you must be able to swim and be 9 in my area. And a pool has lifeguards - a pond doesn't.

So, a rethink on sending an older buddy (b/c he had siblings) or sending him where there was no possible water was probably a better idea...

-----
There is a school of thought that a significant portion of the "women's rights" were a kind of op, or manipulation of mass opinion for "other purposes" as it were.

It's difficult to believe but there was a time in America where a single breadwinner could earn enough income in a unskilled labor job to support a family. Not in "high style", but he could purchase a home, buy a car, and maybe get a vacation once in a while. Mom stayed home with the kids. There were millions of middle class neighborhoods like this.

Delivering Milk, the Milkman. Or at a meatpacking house. Or a foundry worker. Loggers, miners, boilermakers, welders, factory assemblers. All that has been hollowed out through overseas "free trade"; and at the same time, millions of unskilled laborers have driven wages stagnant since the 1970s.

Doubling the number of people in the workforce effectively quashed wages as well. Now you see parents trying to work two jobs, and pay for day care at the same time.

Ellipsis, from legal observers on the trial, the prosecution put forth a case based on logic and facts while the jurors were already trying to browbeat other jurors apparently even before deliberations began by one juror (the anonymous female that supported the holdout). That again is juror misconduct. You cannot deliberate anything on the case before being formally charged with jury instructions and paying attention to the trial.

I suspect too that at least one maybe more were googling shit on the case outside of the evidence presented.

I suspect that the case was considered easy and relatively low priority by the DA's office when it first came to them, so they gave it to fat DEI hire because no way could she screw it up.

Then she screwed up on every single stage of things and turned an open and shut murder trial into a national controversy.

179 I'd also like to see the jury instructions. They are often overlooked but they are absolutely critical to the case.

The jury's job is to apply their opinions of the evidence to the "law" as instructed by the judge.

If the judge instructs the jury, "You are to find the defendant not guilty if she wears a revealing dress," and the defendant one day wears a mini with a heavy drop top, then the jury is to apply that to the (obviously nonsensical) instruction and acquit.

MA also appears to have a broader "insanity defense" that is more favorable to the defense than the majority of other states. MA does not follow the classic "M'Naghten rule."

No, I'm not defending the jury verdict in this case. At least one of the jurors was an insane Karen that never should have been on the jury. (The one that gave that interview.) But without knowing the full jury instructions, I can't evaluate the other jurors as to whether they conceivably did their job or not.

But it was the prosecutions job to present the compelling case.

Without it I can't safely blame anyone for acquitting short of them explicitly announcing nothing would ever change their mind. They didn't get the chance to have their mind changed.

184 Now one thing that will strike someone as significant if you read period articles from the "social planners" in the 1950s and 1960s was how strong the middle class was in America. Most countries are starkly divided. The very rich and wealthy, and abject poverty, no in between. None.

The "experts" allowed that Americans had a strong belief in God, generally, and a robust church attendance. And the family unit was going to be a tough nut to crack.

"Well, it worked, didn't it?" Harry Reid. They have successfully decimated the strong family unit, single breadwinner employment, and Motherhood. Church attendance? I'm sure it has cratered. What's left is whack job purple haired lunatics bitching at me about my lawnmower is destroying the planet.

I never ever claimed to be a Mother of the Year, but everything I might have 'lost' in having a houseful of kids with interesting age gaps and a full time job for decades - in terms of less money, time, sleep, leisure, travel, even some health - was well worth it - I gained a great deal as it made ME just a little better person - less judgmental, hopefully kinder - dealing with other people. (And the brats survived me and have thrived.)

So many people are exceptional people without being mothers or parents or guardians. I could barely manage as a teen, as the oldest of a bunch of street urchins with a working mother, and a kid who avoid school myself until an adult. I never pictured ever being able to cope well with more babies and/or kids. Took a lot of prayer, some instinct and very good examples, and also conviction I could be okay in THAT chosen 'career' too.

I hesitate on making that assumption because I did not see the trial (murder trials have no appeal to me, for one project, I read about one thousand or so death penalty case reports and their sentencing documents). A lot depends on witnesses presented, cross examination, and so on. And the prosecution faced at least a trio or more jurors that apparently had already made their minds up via media reports before trial started.

About the only thing is sure is that she did it and the husband had nothing to do with it.

And we are talking about the legal standard in Mass which is very lenient on insanity once the threshold is met.

Some states use a similar method on self defense claims btw, usually red states. Defendant has to meet a certain burden of proof to show that they can present a reasonable self defense claim, then the burden of proof flips to the prosecution to show that the defendant did not act in self defense.

Getting into justification and affirmative defenses is too complicated for gray box pontificating.

213 155 Mass has a rather stupid state standard set in Commonwealth v. McHoul (1967) where once the burden of proof by showing the judge that a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity is reasonable, then the STATE has the burden of proof to show beyond a reasonable doubt that person was sane enough to comprehend their actions and decided to do it anyway in going forward with the murders at the time when the murders happened. Comes from the idiots at the Model Penal Code project.

M'Naughten std from the 1800's British law, on the other hand, requires a defendant has to prove insanity under the clear and convincing evidence std (highest in civil law) that the defendant was insane at the time of the murder. Most states follow some form of M'Naughten test. A few allow a guilty but insane verdict which commits the person to a mental hospital to serve out their sentence. Personally, I think this is the way.

Yup. It's insane that nurses were allowed on that jury. You never want medical professionals on a jury in a criminal case turning on medical evidence because the pros will always think they know better and use their own -- out of court -- knowledge and evidence.

You also don't want nurses on a jury where the defendant is a nurse. They will always feel solidarity or at least sympathy with fellow nurses.

Hell, they don't like cops on the jury -- or even family members of cops -- if a cop is testifying because those jurors will usually give fellow cops the benefit of the doubt.

But here, the jury included multiple fucking nurses in a case against a nurse that turned on medical evidence. In-fucking-sane. Judge should have struck them all.

Interestingly, it was originally written for television, and the thing is so holy in the minds of people that it barely gets any updates at all through the years (Friedkin's version changed some races and minor dialogue around it, but that's it).

I think that the quick teleplay writing process is betrayed in every subsequent version. The leaps of logic papered over on television just kind of stand out more in both major film versions.

Yep. Not allowed even back then, juror misconduct. Hollyweird loves that kind of shit where the juror plays detective and solves the case.

And the reason is that 'experts' on the jury are not subject to cross-examination nor actually proving their expertise prior to being allowed to testify.

Now one thing that will strike someone as significant if you read period articles from the "social planners" in the 1950s and 1960s was how strong the middle class was in America. Most countries are starkly divided. The very rich and wealthy, and abject poverty, no in between. None.

Being the relatively unscathed winner of WW2 helped.

Simple statements. Mass tilts toward defendants claiming insanity to a degree not present in most states. Most states tilt toward the prosecution where insanity defenses require the defendant to prove that they were insane with varying standards of proof.

At least one state doesn't allow insanity as a defense, I think Kansas is one such IRRC. There, the jury has the option of guilty but insane verdict which puts the defendant in a mental hospital to serve their sentence. Scotus upheld that law mebbe a decade ago but don't know if other states have followed.

Absolutely. But it was mostly due to the inherent superiority of the American system that produced this huge "middle class" in the first place. It took epic marshalling of resources to fight a two front war, produce the armaments to defend "democracy", a skilled labor force to produce millions of tons of ships, planes, boats, tanks, a Manhattan project, it's just incredible to see what was accomplished. They probably sent more material to the Soviet Union alone than most other countries output combined, alone.

And then in the next 50 years they threw it all away for us. It would not have been possible to maintain the market share on a global basis, but what "free trade" agreements and other jiggery-pokery global shit is a crime.

256 I've noted this before, but women were fed a bill of goods that men were keeping all kinds of fulfillment and joy away from women by preventing them from being in the workplace.

So women DEMANDED that they be allowed into the workforce and not "forced" to stay at home with babies.

263 Elric is correct from a judge’s point of view. But judges won’t admit the real reason the jury is there. The jury is there to keep the judge in line. There were early cases in colonial history where publishers were put on trial for lèse majesté: the publisher had published articles critical of the royal governor, and thus had impugned the king. Following the instructions given by the judge the publisher should have been convicted given the evidence presented during trial. The jury refused to convict. There were early judge was in the wrong. The law was wrong. Judges don’t want you to seek justice. This lead to attempts to outlaw trial by jury and eventually lead to the Revolution.

265 Thank you for this post. Important time for it. Women who think of children as "burdens" are lost and do not know miracles by God. Or that a spark of light occurs with conception.

Men are great fathers and grandfathers. I know because I married one. He loves babies and children and thinks men, like his own father (who was not fond of babies) are missing out. Their loss. His father thought it was a badge of courage or something stupid to "only like kids once they could walk and talk." He had nothing to do with our first son til then and children easily annoyed him.

My own father loved babies and children.

The second year after I met my future husband in college I saw him interact with a 9mo old baby girl. Until then I did not think of him as husband material. It worked.

Children need both parents in different ways.

We were blessed with two sons and now 3 grandchildren who are the joy of our lives. The reward for getting old.

You could see them tied up at the pier on West Street in Manhattan often in the 60s. They were not financial successes as the era of sailing to Europe was eclipsed by Boeing 707 travel.

60 I enjoy Raphael's larger crowd scenes like his School of Athens. In many of his portraits the facial expressions are a bit wooden, typical for the time and something I mention often enough. This painting is different. The expressions are natural and realistic. The skin tones are soft, pleasant. Look at the slight blush on Mary's cheek. Their eyes are lively and Mary's direct look at the viewer is riveting. The colors of Raphael's sunlit outdoor scenes are vibrant in an eye catching way. The colors here are still rich but softer, appropriate to an intimate, indoor setting.

It is a remarkable, gentle family portrait. Even without the religious aspects it would be wonderful and touching.

91 Madonna and Child with St. John (known as Madonna of the Chair)
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino

Mary holding the Christ Child while a young John the Baptist watches and prays from the right. Mary sits in a sedia camerale (a papal chamber chair) rather than a rustic seat, blending divine holiness with human maternal warmth.

A lovely, uplifting painting, circa 1513–1514, likely for Pope Leo X. It's housed in the Palatine Gallery of the Pitti Palace in Florence, Italy.

Didn't realize this artist also died relatively young.

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, now generally known in English as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.

Born 1483, Urbino, Italy
Died April 6, 1520 (age 37 years), Rome, Italy
Periods - Renaissance, Italian Renaissance, High Renaissance
Full name - Raffaello Sanzio
Parents - Giovanni Santi, Magia di Battista di Nicola Ciarla.
(His father a painter and poet; his mother also passed young, in 1491.)

Strong limbs, a stout trunk, lots of energy. Unfortunately, zero coordination, like her dad. Just brute force. But still, physically powerful. Her cousin is a healthy kid of the same age, but she just manhandles her when they wrestle.

If you have Sirius XM, you may know there is - of course - a Beatles channel. One of their regular programs is "My Fab Four," where fans both famous and unknown pick four Beatle songs, introduce them and talk about their love for the band.

I sent in four choices a few months ago: "What You're Doing," "You Can't Do That," "Mr Moonlight" and "Here Comes The Sun." I expected nothing, but the other day the program director sent me an e-mail asking if I'd record my selections (using a provided script) and at some point in the next month or so it would be broadcast.

128 Baby poop stories:

When the Boy Child was at whatever age one is when one discovers that one's body is a real thing, I was changing him after a semi-solid event.

He was on the changing table, laying on his back and I undid his diaper. I had one hand on his chest and one hand reaching for the wipes when he smooshed his hands around in his poop, then patted me gently on the face and hair.

There was nothing for it but to finish changing him, set him in his crib, and get in the shower.

To this day - he's 11 - I remind him that he'll never Out-Embarrass me. I've had his shit in my hair.

I write for the online magazine Ripperologist, which is about what you'd expect, but also delves into social history of the East End in the 1880s and other aspects of Victorian society.

It used to be a monthly, but is now only twice per year. If you go to ripperologist.co.uk, you can download the current issue. My column is called The Last Word.

3) you want inflation? This is how you get inflation.

164 Defenetrus,
=====
A) economics shows that one off payments generally go for paying off debt or investing, not consumption (see 2008 Bush stimulus payments).
Effect on inflation is minimal for one off payments/rebates/etc because consumption doesn't change that much on a one time windfall of a relatively small amount.

B) if the payments come from tariff income, then it is actually what economists recommend to set off increased costs to the lower end of the income distribution to the extent that tariffs took away part of that groups spending ability

C), there is NO paying down the debt period. That cannot happen until we enact far greater budget cuts as the deficit is about 1.6-1.9 trillion right now and as we have seen, a big part of that is actually a) Medicare whose taxes need to be raised and fraud eliminated, b) Medicaid which is riddled with fraud, and c) Social Security which needs either increased age to retirement, benefit cuts, or some other method.

I think Trump is using the Reagan method which according to you would be bribery in reducing tax burdens in order to put more pressure on the GOP Congress to start cutting off funny money to their own welfare clients.

175 The real facts are the US economy is about 32 Trillion or so in size. The current debt is about 40 trillion (and you need to discount the idiotic notion of counting supposed future obligations out of that because they are not in fact legal obligations per Scotus decision way back). That puts us roughly at 125% debt to gdp.

So to pay it off in a reasonable time period, you either need cuts so extensive that no government can support them over that time to carry them out--as in raising taxes to somewhere around 50 percent of your income for decades plus massive spending cuts as in no social security, no medicare, no medicaid, no welfare for decades or b) you inflate the debt away--currently the US debt due to Covid is about one quarter devalued from inflation from 2020-2025 and that is a tax by other means, or c) we repudiate it--that means that instantly our imports are cut off unless you can scrape up hard assets like gold, oil, etc. to pay for them, you will have bans on taking currency abroad, and you will have to run at least no deficit in trade accounts with other nations for years.

US being a reserve currency, it would probably throw the world into a depression anyway.

So anyway, this lady professor's main thesis is that Feminism is the ante/"anti" Mary. A kind of precursor to the antichrist.

Eh, that can be said for government employees as well. Why do all local governments run on salary increases for public workers--it is because they vote as their paycheck depends on it. Plus we schedule the local elections at such a time as to depress the electorate so that taxpayers often don't vote but government workers do.

I can go on to government contractors, those wanting tax cuts, etc. We could make defense a lot cheaper is a) we cut out foreign actions, and b) we go to universal conscription which eliminates the biggest bill in defense spending--payroll.

Everyone is getting some and the mythical virtuous American citizen that is not getting something is similar to Gorillas in the Mist.

Frankly, I get bemused of people posing as fiscal conservatives yet not wanting their piece of the pie cut.

To update Senator Russell Long's saying, " Don't cut you, Don't cut me, cut that feller's funds behind the tree." He used it for taxes but government spending at all levels is a similar argument.

Tariffs currently are not illegal because Scotus in making his emergency tariffs legal, made his use of retaliatory and predatory tariffs legal. That argument won't hunt.

And no, you would have to cut 1.6 trillion out of a 7 trillion or so budget and NOT touch the trillion spent on interest. That means to even stay status quo, you will have to cut 1/3 of the federal budget and that is going to have to come from the holy triad, social security, medicare, and medicaid. Or you raise taxes (which gets tricky) because the marginal revenue decreases as the tax rate increases and you take a hit on economic growth at investors put money either abroad or in tax shelters.

Mebbe, I have been watching Japan with fascination for decades now. Its debt to GDP level is about 300-350 percent of GDP. China is not far behind. Yet we haven't seen Japan nor China collapse suddenly.

I think the marginal increase in federal debt and spurring economic growth is what is important rather than the particular size of the national debt.

Andy Jackson paid off the federal debt in 1836 and the US promptly went into a deep depression that lasted until Van Buren got kicked out of office.

Simply put, a lot of things my economics teachers taught me are apparently not true, some are partially true, and some remain to be debated. Government debt to gdp is one of those.

For anyone, I recommend Carmen and Rogoff who are economic historians and their book, This Time It's Different--they study government economic collapses during the past 1000 years or so.

Calm down. I don't personally recommend it due to poor performance of conscripts historically but needless to say, that helped keep US debt to gdp down post WWII.

Personnel costs for defense are about 40-50 percent of the defense budget roughly 400-500 billion per year. So, you face a hobbesian choice. And defense is no. 4 spending category after SS, Medicare, Medicaid, excluding interest on the debt which cannot be cut absent repudiation of the federal debt.

And as I point out, there are no painless choices here and ironically growing the economy faster than the rise in debt ratio is probably the best option right now and the most politically salable.

The Morning Report — 9/ 10 /26

Good morning kids. Wow, what a shocker, a film-maker goes to NYC's East Village and finds that the overwhelming majority of individuals he queried state unequivocally that we, that is America, deserved 9/11.

One person incorrectly insisted the attacks occurred on September 10. Others spouted conspiracy theories, including one person who claimed George W. Bush was “heavily implicated” in orchestrating 9/11. Another said the way the World Trade Center towers collapsed was “too weird” to have been caused by planes. “I think Israel, America behind it all,” another person said, adding an apparent reference to hundreds of years of alleged atrocities. But the interviews went far beyond conspiracy theories.

As you clean up the vomitus from your lap and easy chair... meh, this is akin to descending to the depths of the Marianas Trench and Diver Dan telling you to your face "water is wet," wouldn't you say?! It's not drugs per se, but it is the most poisonous of narcotics, anti-American leftist indoctrination pumped into their brains from parents and schools that have been poisoning our youth for decades and continue to do so, especially in higher ed.

On that note, I submit for your consideration, on this fine morning, we have this glittering cancerous fistula as but one example:

Melina Abdullah, a professor of pan-African studies at California State University, Los Angeles, is under fire for comments she made at an event where she doxed an ICE agent and then urged students in the audience to ‘f**k him up.’

Ah yes, their universal desire for peace love and understanding means that millions of us will have to be liquidated in order to bring that about. As we discussed on the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as the popular outlets listed at the bottom of this post, they are the party of death.

Ah yes, how they abhor violence, except when taking out "nazis" like Charlie Kirk!

Everything about the assassination was astonishing: The unconscionable security failure from the campus police and Charlie’s detail, the fact he was killed while modeling robust and respectful debate, the utterly depraved nature of the act and the apparent transgender-related motive of the accused killer. He was a thought leader, an institution builder and a grassroots-mobilization visionary. The cranks and kooks overrunning the online right today are a sad testament to the void he left behind: Charlie, the guardian of the floodgates, was the conservative coalition’s indispensable man.

Of course "free speech" is a tool of heteronormative, white supremacy and toxic masculinity. And there's no greater example of that than of a woman who butchers her three children and is hailed as a heroine while the one voice of sanity who prevented her from walking free, at least for now, is demonized as evil incarnate for not being compassionate and understanding her position!

‘He couldn’t get over the fact that Clancy viciously killed her children.”
Those are the words of one of the insufferably condescending female jurors from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial who have gone public with their disdain for the lone male juror who refused to go along with their not guilty verdict.

When they're done slaughtering their and OUR children they'll turn on us. Because freedom and democracy (vonit) demand it!

Brittany Dawn Jeffrey of the Hallie Shoffner-backed Little Rock Freedom Fund hosted a group of rioters at her residence to make Molotov cocktails... Little Rock Freedom Fund founder Brittany Dawn Jeffrey was one of four individuals charged for the attacks in December 2020 and later admitted in a guilty plea that the rioters made the Molotov cocktails at her residence with bottles of liquor, bedsheets, and gasoline. She was sentenced to time served in December 2022 after spending 17 months in pretrial detention. During that time, the Little Rock Freedom Fund sold T-shirts with her photo alongside a quote from convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur, the left-wing Arkansas Worker reported at the time.

And speaking of Democrat candidates . . .

El-Sayed Demanded Mass Release of Prisoners, ‘De-Jailing,’ and Scrapping Cash Bail Because of ‘Racism’: Democrat Claims US Is ‘a Carceral State’

And then again there's Fetterman. I've said it before and I'll say it again, he may be a Democrat but still!!

In a stunning turn of events, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman made a high-profile cameo at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas.
Fetterman featured in a pre-recorded video introducing his GOP Senate counterpart from Pennsylvania, Dave McCormick, praising President Trump and McCormick for supporting American steel workers.
The bipartisan overture marks a dramatic escalation in Fetterman’s growing alienation from the Democratic Party.

Aside from President Trump himself, there isn't any politician allegedly on our side that is speaking as loudly and as forcefully against the Left as John Fetterman. Whatever his motivations and political calculus, thank goodness he's doing it.

Then again, Fetterman aside maybe there is something under the surface that is bubbling up little by little that could be at long last the sea change we have so desperately prayed for and need for our future survival as a nation and society...

A Michigan Democrat state lawmaker is warning voters not to support U.S. candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed and said socialist politicians take black voters for granted. “It doesn’t change, it’s just different slave owners,” Democratic Michigan state Rep. Karen Whitsett told Fox News Digital, referring to Democrat Party leaders who treat black voters as a monolith who should only support left-wing candidates. She also accused El-Sayed of not supporting the best interests of black people in Michigan and said the far-left rising socialist wing of the Democrat Party is “more racist than the KKK.”

It's one thing for Fetterman and even others to go after the DSA crazies but rhetoric like this also exposes or has the potential to expose who and what the Democrats themselves are and have been.

In any case as all of the previous examples and many many more that we have witnessed and lived through these last few years and even longer, they will not rest until we're either conquered or dead and they've gained absolute permanent power.

Have a good day.

39 Hey horde, found a better browser for Android than Brave.

Quetta. Look it up, read their website.

It allows extensions, unlike Brave Android, like the xcancel Redirect extension. Loving it so far. Also compares very favorably to Brave for privacy, ad blocking, ad blocking in YouTube videos, fingerprint blocking, etc., and also allows saving websites as PDF, and downloading videos from everywhere.

41 JJS's Black Pill Screed...

something about Good Times making Weak men.

Generational Theory is up in flames, its that absolute demonic filth we allow into the country, secular hedonistic nihilism replacing religion, and complete abandonment of the Patriarchy.

Basically, the US thrived when it made a feeble attempt to follow Biblical models and recommendations for human flourishing. But as we have abandoned it, starting from our "churches" failing to do their primary mission: "Glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever" and move to empty slogans, emotionalism and social movements; to literally voting in demonically possessed individuals into office—society just continues to trend to the norm of human existence and that is a behavior that models the Antediluvians or the men of the plain of Shinar.

88 Here is a link to a 9/11 documentary/dramatization made in 2006 you probably have not seen. It is focused on AA Flight 11's flight and the crash aftermath in the North Tower. Two-plus hours.

https://youtu.be/BUjeUwoeEn4

It is a BBC/Discovery Channel production but is not slanted. Probably because it was made way back in 2006. It contains actual video not seen in US productions that some may find disturbing. Includes interviews of North Tower survivors and of family members of victims. The comments of the wife of one victim are not what you may expect. The ending is powerful; made up of comments from survivors.

The utube video is stitched-together and has duplicate material. Ignore that and just watch.

Not as distressed as you are. There have been at least nine copy-cat murders in 2026 alone. Yet this one is some sort of bellwether whereas all of the other responses to murders are not.

This is about as raw evidence that you can find on the effectiveness of TikTok in amplifying the worst elements of our society to influence the weak and amoral minds of the population. When a culture has no moral values, no desire for moral values, and no vocabulary to even express moral values, then Mimetic Theory indicates that people will fall in line with whatever influence fills that gap. They can't justify their position because they don't have the vocabulary nor the moral conscious and framework in which to construct a coherent apology for the temporary position they irrationally adopted.

Chris Quackenbush. Co-founder of investment bank boutique Sandler O'Neill which lost half its people. Chris could have gotten out, but stayed to help others who were caught in overwhelming smoke.

Dean Eberling. Mild-mannered Wall Street research analyst and suburban father. Caught in an elevator, he and another guy were able to pry open the door so the women could get out, but couldn't hold it so they could get themselves out. Very Titanic, no?

If she had strangled three kittens and was tried for killing them while temporarily nuts, the jury would have returned a guilty and not nuts verdict in two minutes. And included a note to the judge demanding she be burned alive at the stake.

126 The prosecution was a total joke. Zero effort. They're on her side too.

I think it is important at this time to recognize that far too many lawyers, particularly employed by government, are amoral—that is, they can't intellectually comprehend sufficiently to prosecute, or even desire to prosecute Lex Naturalis. They literally don't have the vocabulary to even have an internal monologue with themselves as to these kinds of laws, so they will always appear ineffective because they are in uncharted waters.

On the other hand, they have a remarkable ability to fiercely go after Lex Positiva since they can handle those kinds of laws. Even more so they can pilpul the bitch out of a process crime, wresting whatever definition they want from it.

So yes, our legal system is based on secularists who can't tell Right from Wrong and when pressed, just wing it.

I told him that this, and other truther lies were all addressed and debunked in a Popular Mechanics article in 2005.

It doesn’t matter how many you kill, unless you kill all of them, and we’re not going to do that. They’re a death cult, they WANT to die. Far easier to stop them by wrecking their country to make sure they have little power outside their borders, which is what were systematically doing.

You are limited to the jury members willing to show up and serve on a jury. Anyone complaining about the jury should decide right now that any jury summons they receive is now the #1 responsibility they have as a citizen.

If relationships were evaluated on the "Do you support Lindsay?" going forward, we can turn evil to a bit of good. If women that support her are avoided by men, methinks the kid's deaths can serve a larger purpose.

Fun fact: In Massachusetts, people found not guilty by reason of insanity are 're-evaluated' every six months to see if they are 'cured'.

But if you spend any time with the left you immediately see they believe in the most absurd conspiracy theories you can imagine.

For example, Jessica Valenti recently argued that conservatives are only upset about Lindsay Clancy murdering her kids and potentially getting away with it because they want to take away "women's rights".

And on 9/11 being caused by Shrub or da JOOs a majority of leftists has believed this for a long time. And I'll be honest Shrub is partially to blame for this. He should have fired most of the FBI/CIA leadership after 9/11 and prosecuted Bill Clinton but as he was uniparty he wasn't going to do any of that

=======================
This health care claim has been the basic idea Democrats run on since Clinton's time. They get in, try to implement government healthcare, and get defeated because of it, but never give up. It is their central belief, that (like Social Security) once people get a National Health Service type deal Democrats will be thanked forever.

Despite the experience of Canada and England, Democrats believe this to their core.

255 Regarding the "cancer breakthrough" article --

They are touting an mRNA "vaccine" for melanoma. That's great, but there is an inexpensive, remarkably effective, and far safer cancer shot that has already been developed. The only side effect is patients become resistant to respiratory infections. The only patients whose cancer did not remain in remission were those who took Covid shots in spite of the doctor's instruction not to.

The problem is that the medicine is simple and inexpensive to produce and administer, so the only people benefiting from it are the ones in the clinical trials. Therefore, there's no money motive to make it available.

I don't have a problem with Trump putting tariffs on foreign countries largely because they have been doing it to us for years which helped crippled our domestic industries.

Playing basketball is all he knows. He signed an NBA contract and began playing right out of high school. Raised in Akron by his money-struggling mother alone, until age nine. Then she tried to ensure he had a better life than she could provide, by sending him to live with a local school football coach. He introduced LeBron to basketball. He ended up playing high school ball at an elite mostly-white Catholic school in Akron. (He must have been an athletic beast from an early age.) NBA Rookie of the Year, 2004. He was 20 years old.

Experience with past stimulus checks does not bear that out. Temporary payments are generally not used to consume new goods but to pay off debt and/or invest. That has been the problem with the one off stimulus designed to prevent recessions (classic Keynesian policies).

Re 2008 Bush stimulus checks.
"Approximately one-third (33%) of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 tax rebates were spent on goods and services, while 48% were used to pay off debt and 32% were saved.

Marginal Propensity to Consume: Studies found an aggregate marginal propensity to spend of about one-third, with low-income households more likely to use rebates for debt repayment. "

All those teams were complete teams with great D. They were very good QBs but compare their stats with today’s QB-happy era and they look crappy.

The rules are weighted way too heavily to favor offense now. I mean Kirk Cousins has better stats than Kenny Stabler for Pete’s sake; it’s ridiculous

"The Fair Tax is a proposed national sales tax that would replace all federal income, payroll, estate, and gift taxes with a single consumption-based tax on purchases of new goods and services."

That took three seconds on the google. The idea is that you get taxed one time, at the point of sale, on everything you buy, and never, ever again. Everyone pays on their consumption and only on their consumption.

Gets complicated on states because you have local/state governments intertwined on spending issues like public education.

Absence of an income tax does not mean that a state stops spending, simply that other taxes are used in lieu of no income tax--usually property taxes and sales taxes. New Hampshire is an example of that type of state. Washington too.

358 332 The problem with modern football is it has become way too QB-centric. In the good old days a team could be great without a transcendent QB… cf. the Raiders of Kenny Stabler, the Steelers of Terry Bradshaw, even the Vikings of Fran Tarkenton. All those teams were complete teams with great D. They were very good QBs but compare their stats with today’s QB-happy era and they look crappy.

The rules are weighted way too heavily to favor offense now. I mean Kirk Cousins has better stats than Kenny Stabler for Pete’s sake; it’s ridiculous

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at September 10, 2026 09:21 AM (uTFcg)

Yeah, and a lot of it is because back in the day, defensive backs were allowed to pretty much mug receivers until the pass was in the air. Tightening-down on pass interference and prohibiting defenders from 'bumping' receivers more than 5 yards downfield changed the game.

From above, "...conspiracy theories, including one person who claimed George W. Bush was “heavily implicated” in orchestrating 9/11. Another said the way the World Trade Center towers collapsed was “too weird” to have been caused by planes. “I think Israel, America behind it all,” another person said, adding an apparent reference..."

The conspiracy theories of almost a quarter century reappear, though I don't recall Israel specifically being named then as also behind it, and with Bush & Cheney? But everyone loves all the Cheneys now, so not Cheney? 🤷‍♀️ But our friends, the tiny country that seems to be feared worldwide, standing like a parent threatening & intending to kick ass until desired respectful & social behaviors takes hold? Nope. No respect from the children any more.

Tell me the breakdown in logic here:

• Bob, for forty years has worked hard, saved his money and all of his income through wages and investment returns has been taxed via the income tax.

• Fair Tax comes along and now a 20% nominal levy is attached, on top of the SALT applied to purchases already to all goods and services that fall under Fair Tax authority.

386 I can't stand the manner of speaking El-Sayed is using, particularly when talking with/debating Jesse Watters. It's as bad or worse as Hillary with her hot sauce, or AOC trying one today's new persona. Fu**ing annoying!! But where did it come from, and how?

Here's a little AI defense in his BS:

When El-Sayed speaks quickly, he doesn't just talk fast—he uses a highly rhythmic, cadence-driven delivery common in traditional American political and religious oratory (often associated with the American South). He heavily punches certain words, drops pitch at the end of clauses, and elongates specific vowels to emphasize a point. It creates a bouncy, musical rhythm that sounds distinctly un-Midwestern.

While he grew up in the Detroit suburbs, his public speaking style, sentence structure, and vocal inflections are heavily shaped by Metro Detroit's unique urban dialect and African American Vernacular English (AAVE) rhetorical patterns. This includes dropping the "g" on words (like tryin' or goin') and adopting a drawl-like vowel elongation when he's being conversational or punchy. Because AAVE shares deep historical and linguistic roots with Southern

387 American English, his fast-paced Detroit cadence can easily sound like a Southern manner of speaking to an outside listener. (Wikipedia referenced)

So you are definitely not mishearing the cadence—it really does sound different from the standard Inland North (Chicago/Wisconsin) accent you know! It's just a product of his unique background and high-energy rhetorical style rather than him actually being from the South.

Oh, that Black vote! Got it!

You got it Mr. James Clyburn? Mr. Obama?

El-Sayed apologized for past controversial remarks, leading to the endorsement shift from the South Carolina Democratic leader, who emphasized that "all of us deserve second chances." (The Hill)

In August 2026, former President Barack Obama called Michigan's Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed to discuss party unity following a tough primary race.

391 NBC, Sen. John Fetterman makes a surprise cameo praising Republicans at the GOP convention
The Democratic senator — who often takes heat from his own party for teaming up with Republicans — praised his fellow senator from Pennsylvania, who is a Republican.
September 9, 2026 (Read)

Fetterman is not a cruel man, but one of compassion - even if it goes a bit too far at times. He's a family man. He genuinely gets along with his Republican counterpart.

PA - rapidly turning into a shithole of socialism - will probably wind up with a US Senator Chris Deluzio, or maybe even Summer Lee, in Fetterman's place.

Remember Deluzio? One of several Democratic lawmakers featured in a video advising service members on refusing illegal orders.

Yesterday's Facebook msg: "If we don’t do something about Vivek Ramaswamy’s private equity friends jacking up the cost of youth sports, American kids will grow up thinking that’s how you hit a baseball."

Now Summer did an AOC with the DSA. But while she's no longer a member of the DSA, she remains a highly progressive figure in Congress, frequently aligned with "The Squad," an active member of Justice Democrats, and the Progressive Caucus.

One was about a 6'4 guy and the other one was about 5'4. They were Latino. I wish Americans did these jobs, but they were quite efficient and I would like to think that if they're delivering appliances all day they're probably not working for a drug cartel .

But the diner juice in their thick white mug was darn good.

The vet was annoyed because she was the one who had diagnosed the heart murmur and now she couldn't find it. A quick blood draw was done and then they had to clean out her right ear because it was filled. The Greyhound Scream of Death was heard that day.

In the end, she got a lot of cookies, everyone said how wonderful she was and she was resting happily shortly after getting home.

This month it was Westerns. Linda spoke about a Mickey Spillane/Max Allan Collins novel, Hot Lead, Cold Justice, which she thought had an unsatisfying ending. I spoke about Outlawed, the "feminist" Western I mentioned on the Book Thread this last week. Anna North's novel really isn't "feminist" in the sense of the strident screeching we hear and read so often. Most books labeled as such are short on story and long on "messaging." Not this one.

As a plus, the author's West is an alternate one: In the 1830s, a Great Flu wiped out 90% of America from Boston to California. The surviving society became all about fertility (logically), to the point that a "barren" woman is often accused of being a witch. The background shapes the story, as a good SF tale should.

North is new to me. This one is her third novel, and while she is a writer for the NYT, she did not let her probable leftist bias affect her storytelling. It's really only "feminist" in that it deals mostly with women and women's concerns -- but a good writer can make that interesting to men, or at least yours truly, and she did.

I try not to give away endings, but to talk about why a book is important or not, where it was strong and where it was weak, and how it relates to other novels. Outlawed, for instance, has faint resemblances to another Western with a heroine -- True Grit.

tech story

173 Many years ago, we got an ISDN line installed at Jerry Pournelle's house, known as Chaos Manor. ISDN was the best you could get in a residential location before DSL and Cable modem service became common. We were at a complete loss as how to get it working. It behaved like a regular telephone line in some ways but you couldn't connect a ISDN TA and just use the dial-up functionality in Window 98 or NT 4. The lack of documentation was frustrating. Some aspect were bizarrely mysterious.

We called Pacific Bell, the local telco then. We got passed around and eventually ended up talking to then PacBell employee Scott Adams. There was much mutual fanboying.

Oddly, I like Leonard's Westerns better than I do some of his present-day crime stories. The dialog in his crime tales is so close to the way actual people speak that, paradoxically, it's sometimes hard for me to follow. I don't have that problem with his Westerns.

With L'Amour, I've only read Hondo (of course), his SF story The Haunted Mesa, and one or two others of his giant output. In some odd ways he reminds me of Heinlein -- that "truly American" spirit of independence and "can-do" attitude.

The problem started because on both mainframe computers and later personal computers, memory was expensive, from as low as $10 per kilobyte to more than US $100 per kilobyte in 1975.

103 Memory was expensive back in the days of punchcards, COBOL, and mainframes. That, I understood, is why the programmers were instructed to code the year as only the last two digits -- thus leading to the rush to fix those programs as the year 2000 approached.

I wasn't in the field then, so I don't know; I've only heard that story. You wouldn't think two characters, "19," would cost that much in memory. Of course the year was probably repeated many many times in each program, so maybe it added up?

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at September 10, 2026 07:10 AM (wzUl9)

104 ... It was therefore very important for programmers to minimize usage.

Since computers only gained wide usage in the 20th century, programs could simply prefix "19" to the year of a date, allowing them to only store the last two digits of the year instead of four.

As space on disc and tape storage was also expensive, these strategies saved money by reducing the size of stored data files and databases in exchange for becoming unusable past the year 2000.

The first person known to publicly address this issue was Bob Bemer, who had noticed it in 1958 as a result of work on genealogical software.

He spent the next twenty years fruitlessly trying to raise awareness of the problem with programmers, IBM, the government of the United States and the International Organization for Standardization.

This included the recommendation that the COBOL picture clause should be used to specify four digit years for dates.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere

This is correct. Punch cards had a limit of 80 characters. Additionally the culture then and now, still uses the last two digits to indicate year when writing years out.

I don't think I have seen anyone write a check with the century.

In that day, programmers didn't think that the code they wrote in the '70s would survive into the new millennium.

The irony is that the savings of reducing the date storage size by 25% across millions of records in 1965 was blown away by the hundreds of billions later spent for Y2K

114 I have a suspicion that speed was also an issue with the year. There was a whole bunch of optimization performed that we wouldn’t even think about today because it would be pointless, that wasn’t pointless then.

If every instance of the field begins with 19, why put the 19 in? It slows sorting, it wastes memory, and it is unnecessarily duplicative.

We’re going to get a new computer system and a new database software next year anyway. Filling out the 19 when we have to won’t be a problem.

And then someone decided to use special values to signal conditions not related to the year: zeroing out the field to mean a loan has been paid off, or entering a particular impossibly low number to mean that the value is unknown…

118 Wasn't just COBOL. RPG, at least where I was working, also used a lot of 2-digit years and we scrambled to get that stuff changed in time for the century shift. And we were still finding infrequently used routines that we missed a year or two later when they went fubar.

Y2K fizzled because a lot of people spent a lot of time fixing the year issue before it switched over to 2000.

I know a gubbernmint agency who back in the 70s stored only the last digit of the year, in order to conserve DASD disk space.

Then along came the 80s.

So they wised up and converted their stored date fields to 2 digits.

Of course, because of Y2k, they had a lot more to convert by the time the mid-late 90s came around.

I ask the guy who puts on ceramic coating, how long will the application last. He says "depends on you" meaning how I treat the vehicle in the interim.

This is so true. Studies have shown as much as a 60% decrease in vehicle maintenance and depreciation due to simply garaging the vehicle rather than leaving it outdoors overnight.

A 1995 Jeep stored indoors kept the original paint, the interior showed no weather, and the only thing outside normal wear was a power steering pump pulley back when the car had 20k miles on it.

Two XJs stored indoors for over 25 years only needed headliners replaced due to the adhesive aging out.

"Tiny" Man Dies While Seeking Large Penis
Influencer Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo Dead at 43 After Undergoing Penis Enlargement Surgery in Thailand

Influencer Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo has died. He was 43.
Ubiribo, who also went by Denisi and Ego on social media, died after experiencing complications from a genital enlargement procedure in Thailand, a U.K. coroner confirmed to TMZ on Saturday, September 5.
According to the medical examiner, Ubiribo suffered a pulmonary embolism during the cosmetic surgery. (A pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot is stuck in an artery in the lung that blocks blood flow, according to the Mayo Clinic.)
The businessman allegedly had 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine injected into his penis at an unidentified Thai clinic in March, per an Inner West London Coroners' Court inquest obtained by TMZ.
In case there is any question, Tiny's procedure is not ONT approved and Ace of Spades disclaims any adverse consequences from any medical advice given or implied on the blog or in the comments.

NYS Fair pays $40,000 to keep $1 potato booth alive with new vendor

Every summer, tens of thousands of New York State Fair visitors willingly stand in one of the fairgrounds' longest lines for something they could make at home: a $1 baked potato.
This year, they'll be getting it from someone new.
Tully's Good Times has been selected to take over the potato booth in the Horticulture Building after longtime operator Wahid Akl decided it was time to move on, ending an era for one of the fair's most recognizable food traditions.
The change comes after the fair sought applications this spring from existing concessionaires interested in operating the booth.
Why did Akl decide it "was time to move on"?

Akl said the decision to give up the booth came down to simple math. Running the potato booth required about 30 employees working two shifts each day of the fair, he said.
While the booth routinely served tens of thousands of customers, the signature baked potato remained locked at $1 as labor and food costs continued to climb.
"We had 30 employees, two shifts," Akl said in an earlier interview with syracuse.com. "You need to serve, clean up the dining room, make sure everything is running. We had a great run out of it. But with everything getting so expensive... I'm not a nonprofit organization."
So how will the new operator make it work if the old operator couldn't?

The New York State Fair will pay a $40,000 management fee to the operator, cover payroll for booth employees and provide the New York-grown potatoes, according to a document concessions manager Jack Davison sent to vendors in April. The operator must continue selling a baked potato or three salt potatoes with butter or sour cream for $1, a longtime fair tradition. In return, the booth's rental fee is waived.
Oh.

To take a step back quickly, most land-based combat jets in U.S. service today, as well as many in service elsewhere globally, have tailhooks. Unlike their carrier-based counterparts, these aircraft have the hooks for emergency use in combination with arresting gear installed on runways on land.
On non-stealthy land-based combat jets, the integration of an emergency tailhook system is relatively straightforward since it can simply be installed externally or semi-externally at the rear end of the aircraft. It is a more complicated proposition for stealth designs where a hook protruding, even partially, from the underside of the fuselage would negatively impact the jet's radar cross section.
Who new the F-117 had a tailhook (I mean other than every Moron except me)?

I will start considering potentially thinking about concern over re-naming the Gulf of America when people like the NY State legislature stop trying to re-name "mother" to "gestating parent" and "father" to "non-gestating parent." Ugh. The great sorting clarifies and continues. Correspondence can be sent to moronhobbies at protonmail dot com where it will be promptly transferred to an undetermined department for processing.

40 Evening, TRex, and ONT Horde. I'm guessing late '50's to mid '60's for the Gulf tanker. Looks like it might be a '58 International.

Had a cool surprise this afternoon. Stepped out of the garage to wash my hands in the tire test tub. When I came back in to dry them on a towel kept handy, something flew past my head. I'm thinking "bat, or maybe swallow?" Then it perched on top of my welding outfit. It was a merlin, a pocket-sized hawk. It looked at me, and I looked at it, and said "Hello, little Hawk." Then it took to its wings, and flew away.

136 I liked to see those really old gasoline pumps, they were elevated clear glass bowls, and would hold maybe 5 or 10 gallons. The gas jockey would pump gas up into the reservoir first, and then gravity feed into the car’s tank. Graduated lines would show the motorist how many gallons were pumped.

Did they make drivers pay first in 1922? When I was young, you pretty much pumped your own gasoline and then went in and paid. I knew I had arrived in the Big City when they didn’t allow that.

Go in first, it’s like a bank vault, only with more security and nothing other than a guy to take money. Then go back out and pump fuel. What a bunch of bullshit

ISDN was the best you could get in a residential location before DSL and Cable modem service became common. We were at a complete loss as how to get it working. It behaved like a regular telephone line in some ways but you couldn't connect a ISDN TA and just use the dial-up functionality in Window 98 or NT 4. The lack of documentation was frustrating. Some aspect were bizarrely mysterious.

We called Pacific Bell, the local telco then. We got passed around and eventually ended up talking to then PacBell employee Scott Adams. There was much mutual fanboying.

I'd argue that it's an awesome political message, while making a realistic moral statement about a large segment of the electorate. Politics is all about winning. We've been playing catch up with the Dems since at least FDR.

Voter participation for midterm elections is abysmal. I'd love to see that change organically, and I think this Dallas event was a great step in that direction. Would it be enough? History has not been kind to incumbent Presidents, and people still vote their pocketbooks.

I don't love the idea myself, but I'll smile like Harry Reid if it works...

Obama: $1.7 Billion, but unlocked $100-$150 bilion in frozen assets

IceKingJoe: $7.1 Billion

Loral: It was not a "gift" from the administration, but rather a commercial export control violation. In 2002, the Justice Department and State Department settled the case with Loral, requiring the company to pay a $14 million civil penalty for violating the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)

Remember who did this, yes, the above, but what's on the horizon, coming -- the answer is where LIB values really stand:
1. They Reward the Guilty
2. They Punish the Innocent
3. The Champion, the mediocre, the Unworthy, the DEPRAVED on the basis of their Depravity.

This is the reason why AOC could possibly be considered viable LIB presidential material, but adjacent to that is one greater: H.Biden which masterfully checks all the boxes.

Speculation that they didn’t understand the scope and hoped it would be enough to topple the government, but not too bad.

Without a doubt though it was the people behind him and the government and media etc are still lousy with them.

That lazy sucker of cock is good for fondling a ball or twelve and that's it.

But there is no doubt that's where the country hit the wall, although we were headed there for sure. That cheap scripted line about Lil Trayvon did more damage to this country than anything short of 9/11. Bastards.

279 173 Many years ago, we got an ISDN line installed at Jerry Pournelle's house, known as Chaos Manor. ISDN was the best you could get in a residential location before DSL and Cable modem service became common. We were at a complete loss as how to get it working. It behaved like a regular telephone line in some ways but you couldn't connect a ISDN TA and just use the dial-up functionality in Window 98 or NT 4. The lack of documentation was frustrating. Some aspect were bizarrely mysterious.

We called Pacific Bell, the local telco then. We got passed around and eventually ended up talking to then PacBell employee Scott Adams. There was much mutual fanboying.

283 Speaking of ISDN lines: I had a high school friend in the 90s with his own business selling extensions to a popular BBS program, mostly so that BBS administrators could offer their users "gateway" access to the broader Internet. There were products for SMTP, NNTP, FTP, Gopher, even HTTP. Of course he ran his own BBS as well. He was really excited when he got an ISDN installed at his home. I'm pretty sure it was expensive. But a least he didn't have to call Scott Adams!

294 Just got a jury summons for early October. It said the expected trial length is 2-4 weeks. Maybe I should not make TxMoMe plans?

The only other time I got a letter, I went to the courthouse and sat in a room with a bunch of people, but I didn't get selected. I don't know why. It was something about medical malpractice.

Being self-employed and billing by the hour, spending 2-4 weeks on a jury would be very expensive.

Actually I've heard that it's hard to be picked if you come across as rational and intelligent. So I've always wanted to serve. And this Lindsay Clancy story makes me think we should take our duty seriously.

303 Ench's-- helps to have leftover chicken for easy shredding, or could use canned... cook up some rice; add sautee'd peppers & onions; seasonings to include cumin, cilantro (or basil if you have the *soap gene*), s & p, crushed garlic... heat it all up together & add cheddar and m.jack cheeses. Put ~ 1/2 cup filling into each of 10-12 pre-warmed corn tortillas and roll up.

Put enchilada sauce (canned or homemade) on bottom of 9x12 pan, put in rolled tortillas, top with more sauce and more cheese-- bake 350 for 20 minutes or until heated thru and cheese bubbly.

41 Woke up the other night to the cat meowing and batting something live around in the bedroom. I turned on the light, which woke him up- he can't hear her when asleep, so he went to investigate.
She'd brought in a mouse, which escaped into the rest of the house.
We found out today, when the appliance guy showed up, that the dishwasher is not working because it chewed a hole in the hose. It also chewed bits out of the sponge mat in my sewing room.
Good news is its corpse was in the trap in the utility room when we got home from Waco yesterday.

Being an Iowanian I really should know a lot about cattle. But I don't. They do a lot of grazing on National Forest land.

One minute, no cows. Next minute, many cows. They do respond to "Git!" and "Yah!!!" pretty well. But they don't have much, or any, long term memory maybe.

Out of 80,000 possible acres of grass, the grass just under your trailer or camper or pickup, why, that's JUST the perfect, tender stuff. They can be quiet when they want to be. And I thought they laid down at night and went to sleep. Not necessarily. They look kinda spooky in flashlight. Green eyes, spaced really far apart.

I have some of their cousins in my freezer right now, so I try to cut them some slack.

That's 180 watts on a 120v transformer, about 1.5 amps.

The Starlink mini does draw quite a bit right at startup, that's why it can have problems with a direct battery feed. Voltage sag. It needs steady juice of sufficient current to complete the boot up.

The more I learn about it, I just want to pay somebody to install the whole damned thing. I'm too old to screw around with all the minutae any longer. LOL. That's why the installers get paid the big bucks.

No, for straight DC battery power, the ampere-hour, or milliamperes is all ya need to know. As the voltage drops, the current draw increases, this is true.

But it's still straight arithmetic, and easily grokked. They just don't want to be too clear on their battery capacity in the advertisements. It's obvious.

My BIL who lives outside of Nikiski (basically, nowhere) uses both a windmill and solar panels to charge his batteries in case of an outage. We don't get much daylight in the winter, so wind makes a fair amount of sense then. He has always had plenty of power to run the house and appliances when the power takes a digger. He also has it all computerized and monitored remotely so when they are out of state he can make sure all is working correctly.

No panels make their max rating except under perfect perfect conditions. The best I've seen out of four of my current 400w panels was about 1400w, and that didn't last long. Expect maybe 80-90% on good days.

Those panels were $250 each. They are big but do make free electricity, after you get done paying for the panels, that is.

Expect the Mini to use roughly 25–50 watts, depending on conditions and activity. A 500-Wh power station might therefore run it for approximately 8–15 hours, allowing for conversion losses and other devices.

In practice, size the circuit for at least 5 A, preferably with some margin. A 12 V, 10 A fused circuit is a reasonable practical choice.

Two important details:

The vehicle battery voltage may range from about 12.0 to 14.4 V, so the current will vary.
Use the correct Starlink Mini DC cable or a properly regulated cable. Don’t connect bare 12 V directly unless the cable/input specification explicitly supports the vehicle’s voltage range.

At 50 W, the consumption is about 4.2 amp-hours per hour at 12 V. A 100-Ah battery theoretically provides about 24 hours, but usable runtime is lower because of battery type, reserve capacity, temperature, and other loads.

216 My son had a couple of fused baby teeth, followed by adult teeth every darned which way. He had braces for nearly three years to sort that mess out. Luckily he kept track of his retainers long enough to make it last. That was not a sure thing, but he did it.

My mom didn't think I was worth the cost of braces, so I have had cracked and miserable teeth most of my life.

Does kiddo have brackets on front or "invisible" back of teeth? Mine were front, secured to the shaping wire with flexi-bands. (first go-round, was all wired. ouch)

Sometimes the brackets irritate cheeks or lips-- little packages of beeswax can be had, to smoosh over the offending hardware.

JUST IN: 38 shot, 8 kiIIed during Labor day weekend in Brandon Johnson’s Chicago>
I saw a headline a couple of weeks ago that Brandon Johnson blamed Chicago's out-of-control murder problem on (say it with me) DRUMPF!!!
Georgetown U. "students" are upset that an orientation program will now emphasize learning and success rather than racial and sexual identity.
College attendees, what would you say you do here?

No more presentations on 'what it means to be a woman on campus [and] person of color in a predominantly white institution'
A Georgetown University student paper investigation has revealed the school's Center for Multicultural Equity & Access "sunsetted an identity-driven pre-orientation program" over a year ago "amid" Trump administration "attacks" on DEI measures.
According to The Hoya, the center's Young Leaders in Education, Advocacy & Dialogue program, aka YLEAD, was changed last August to Total Hoya Readiness: Intro to Vocation and Experience, or THRIVE, which no longer has programming related to identity and diversity.
YLEAD used to "foster dialogue" about "ability, ethnicity, gender, nationality, race, religion, age, sexual orientation, and social class," according to the Hoya's review of the center's archived webpages.
Solene DeGaynor, a former YLEAD participant who later became a THRIVE coordinator, said she was "disappointed" the university moved away from the original program.
"We did a lot of presentations on what it means to be a woman on campus, what it means to be a person of color in a predominantly white institution," DeGaynor said. "That was really helpful in terms of understanding how identity intersects and plays a role in how you operate on a college campus."
DeGaynor added that the new THRIVE is more about "academic success" and "access[ing] to all of the resources" at Georgetown.
Former YLEAD peer leader Dani Scott said YLEAD was "an important support system for incoming students of color and international students," and that it helped students with "all these different identities" navigate a "predominantly white institution."
"It was very much focusing on making people feel safe before they even got there and making sure that they knew that there was community there," she said.
Scott added "I wish that Georgetown has stayed a little bit stronger and truer to the mission that they said that they were creating [...] I feel like potentially there was a robbing of a certain community that Georgetown could have cultivated."

I'm starting to get very black-pilled.
Why are so many anti-white racists married to white guys? Adam Carolla misses a big one here: Francesca Hong, who would only admit a "proximity to whiteness," but this whiteness was so proximal to her vagina that it resulted in a half-white son.

Mexican narcoterrorists have been probing the southern border with drones for a long time. The US had been using electronics-jamming equipment to drive them back across the border.

Now we're using lasers to just destroy them.

Military officials told CBS News in an article published Monday that less than two weeks after it first used a high-energy laser weapon system to down suspicious drones, there has been a roughly 75% decrease in the number of drones probing the southern border in the Rio Grande Valley.
Reports of the new laser system emerged in February after the military used a laser to shoot a Customs and Border Protection drone in Texas, prompting the Federal Aviation Administration to close down more airspace near El Paso.
Military officials said they have since had better communication with the FAA and the system officially debuted last month when the military took down three drones on Aug. 25 and 26.
The military previously used jamming tools to send drones back to their place of origin, but can now eliminate a drone if it feels like a threat from a Mexican cartel.
"When you just send it back and then it comes back up or is defeated temporarily, but the game changer is ensuring that that tool can't be used again against you," Army Col. Robert Felicio, commander of the 130th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, told CBS News.
Since the beginning of the year, the military has stopped 300 drones officials believe are linked to Mexican cartels, including eleven the laser took down over a span of ten days. It was not clear how many drones the U.S. sees each day.

39 Glad the Nigerian prince was found!

The woman griping about her husband's reaction to her haircut...don't like her. I don't understand people who film themselves doing this stuff. On the bright side I did not have to look for snot shooting out her nose ring.

First, she honestly thinks she's Jennifer Anniston by her stupid facial expressions and mannerisms. ick.I think he married her for her boob enhancements that are fake.

The one time I goofed, badly, a haircut was for The Jennifer when Friends came out. I accidently asked for a shag and that is what I got. Curly and wild.

My husband and both HS sons, all independently, simply asked, "Why did you do that?" I did weep a bit that night but it was my own fault. Grew it back.

Oh, and feminist weirdo? I wear my hair for myself AND the man I married who met me when it was waist length.

It is a couple of inches below my shoulders, easy, and I still get highlights every couple of months. I would guess he's happier than living with a harridan! I will ask later (altho I've been no grumpy today).

Damn-straight! DRUMPF hasn't sent me enough money to fix the gang problem and the budget hole the city is in every year, because of the barely-adequate pensions of my most loyal voters and organizers! Teachers!

If DRUMPF sent me the money to fix those problems, every year, my aldermen and I could establish enough daycares, teen after-school community and sports centers, senior care centers, city-owned grocery stores, and hospices to make Chicago the best damned city in the whole world!

71 16 Drone warfare is undergoing rapid transitions from the pressures of war recently in Ukraine, around Israel, and in Iran. So we are going to see a defense like lasers and a return to other kinetic springing up to defeat drone advances. Then the drones will in some way try to counteract the new defenses.

This.

Pro-tip for anyone who wants to not answer the question when someone ask "Do you like" in relation to what they've done to their appearance: Don't answer the question as it was asked. Give an actual evaluation based aesthetic principles. Hopefully shaded toward the complementary, if you can manage it.

If that doesn't satisfy, you can try escaping with "It's a big change. I'm sure it'll grow on me."

If that results in a hissy fit, you can always end with "If you don't want me to answer honestly, don't ask the question."

The name suicide drone, and drone swarms and all the rest of the drone wars stuff has been kicked-around in the US military for at least 8-10 years. Earlier today I was skimming through old articles on The War Zone site and all this stuff was in articles going back to at least 2018. The US Navy is now hurriedly-resurrecting a tanker drone system that made it to take off and landing trials on-board a Nimitz-class carrier, at least four years ago. Then it was cancelled. The USAF and USN fighter mafias don't want the things. Hegseth is dragging all the services into drone warfare for real.

Yup. And you can use it for signaling. My last First Sergeant got his Silver Star in VN when he was in a Ranger recon platoon. They were being chased by the NVA and had lost their smoke grenades and VS-17 panels for setting up an LZ to get lifted out. By the time they found a clearing large enough for an LZ it was after dark so he broke open a Claymore and pulled out chunks of C4 to light up his inverted Y to mark the LZ.

I read all of this off of his Silver Star citation in his office while on CQ duty.

This reminds me that I had several weird proposals in college. I pretended not to hear them as they were friends who'd been drinking, but halfway serious.

When my husband first proposed I laughed and told him he was crazy. He got it together after that and I fell for it 8mo later.

I did not have a Tay Tay romantic engagement by a long shot. Flowers and him on one knee. This should make me weep all the tears yet I shan't. Which is a real word and not one I made up yet I never shan't nor shart.

"America is Going Down!:" Ahmadrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Speaks At Islamic Extremist Conference Where Terror-Priests Threaten America

Tuq'r Qarlson has one question: Why did the Jews do this?
What is the game they are running on the goys?
Many people are too afraid to ask these important questions. Tuq'r is not.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's speech at a controversial Islamic convention in Detroit this weekend was sandwiched between a video montage featuring a firebrand imam declaring that "America is going down" and a speech from another cleric who said members of Congress who voted for an antisemitism bill were "guilty of treason."
The embarrassing spectacle on Saturday underscored the awkwardness of El-Sayed participating in a conference featuring a rogues' gallery of Islamic extremists including 9/11 truthers and a Holocaust-denier.
The Islamic Society of North America kicked off day two of its annual confab on Saturday with a montage of clips from various convention speakers, including imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
"I am ashamed of what America has become," Wahhaj says in the undated clip. "Look at the newspaper every day, how America is going down."
The montage also showed a clip of El-Sayed lamenting his experiences in the wake of the 9/11 attacks as a "kid with a funny name and an olive complexion."

3,000 Americans dead, Muslims the Real Victims Here.

And it ended with a graphic that included an infamous photo of El-Sayed fist-bumping Hasan Piker, the left-wing influencer who declared that "America deserved 9/11."
El-Sayed delivered his scheduled remarks minutes later and gave a standard campaign stump speech that focused on cost-of-living issues, as well as his experiences as a Muslim in America.
"Muslim Americans, they want to tell us that we don't belong. They want to tell us that this country's not ours, that because of our names or how we pray that we are somehow less than," said El-Sayed.
No, it's not because of your "funny names." It's because you worship a "god" who tells you to kill the infidels -- us -- and you are constantly justifying such murders.
Some people did some things with some planes and some buildings.
Oh, and your piratical cousins steal billions from us when they're not just sponging off us with infinite welfare grifting.

He was followed by Zaid Shakir, a prominent New Jersey cleric, and Cenk Uygur, the host of The Young Turks.
Shakir, who once asserted that "Zionist forces" were behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, railed against the U.S. government over its support for Jews and Israel, singling out a congressional vote to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of "anti-Semitism."
"When the United States Congress passes laws on behalf of a genocidal, rapacious, nefarious foreign country to deny us the freedom of speech ... that is a domestic enemy of the Constitution of the United States," Shakir declared. "And as such, they are guilty of treason."

...
Both Uygur and Shakir have embraced conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks, in which 2,977 Americans were killed by al Qaeda operatives.
"I no longer believe [sic] official 9/11 story," Uygur said in February. He also promoted the "dancing Israelis" myth, an antisemitic conspiracy theory that posits that five Israeli spies filmed and celebrated the terrorist attack. "I didn't know we arrested Israeli spies who were here to 'document the event,'" wrote Uygur.
And Shakir has called for an "examination" of what he described as "glaring weaknesses and inconsistencies" in the official 9/11 narrative. He has urged followers to read the works of David Ray Griffin, a leading 9/11 conspiracy theorist who has argued that the United States orchestrated the attacks. And Shakir asserted that the U.S. government used the attacks to "launch a war on Islam." Shakir, who in a discussion on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 stated that he was "extremely anti-American," has also called for Muslims to use "guerrilla warfare" to achieve their desired political outcomes.
In a 1992 treatise, Shakir asserted that "every major Muslim political gain" in modern history was brought about by "extrasystemic political action"--including guerrilla warfare. He cited the creation of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the "armed struggle" that led to Taliban control of Afghanistan.
A copy of Shakir's pamphlet was discovered in the apartment of a suspect in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the New York Times reported in 2006.

11 Ugandan General Muhoozi Kainerugaba insisted on Wednesday morning that his nation would not participate in any event without approval from Charles, adding that he felt motivated to quash 'that Harry-Meghan nonsense'.

The move came less than 48 hours after the King outlined in a letter that the duke and duchess are still not working royals despite the couple relocating to the UK a fortnight ago.

The letter was said to have blindsided Harry and Meghan, who claimed they did not have enough time to clarify the King's points before the guidance was released to the media.

And the Sussexes have now reportedly blamed Uganda's decision to withdraw from the Invictus Games on the letter, which was released on His Majesty's instruction by his Lord Chamberlain on Monday.

A source close to Harry and Meghan told ITV News tonight: "Intended or unintended, this is clearly a consequence of the Lord Chamberlain's guidance regarding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex that was rushed out without consultation on Monday.

Sadly, the only people who will suffer are the Invictus Games competitors."

Because commie cocksuckers have the same goal of the total destruction of Western Civilization. The difference is that the mohammedans have a plan for what happens afterwards.

I'll admit to being vastly amused by the fact that one of the first steps in the after-plan for mohammedans is to line up the commies against a pock-marked wall... like Khomeini did after the mullahs took over in Iran in '79.

40 I hope the next Civil War starts again in the South. This time we will win and recruit Yankees and cowboys to our side and defeat islam and commies and antifa or whoever is the jerk who sets them off, finally. Then push north to NYC to defeat these islamic inbreds.

I will be observing from my mountain far away, but cheering for the rednecks against muslims.

Something's gonna pop from all this build up, and it's not the zit AOC is sitting on. Nor the hemorrhoid of Talarico from his extracurriculars (which is another word for an enlarged and flappy orifice).

I need to go both be productive and decide if I am going to the blasted nursing reunion on the 11th at a pub. As an anthropology study mostly. I'm tired but this should perk me up at the thought of snark collecting. Will take mental notes.

All will be raving liberal grey haired wimmen but me. I want to swan in, so will probably go and hope for the best in energy that day as I am currently depleted.

As I mentioned before, this is great news because it shows how this weirdo twerp hasn’t locked down his rabid commie jihadi base yet.

No sane candidate would risk the devasting oppo to come out of speaking at this Thunderdome conference of jihadi lunatics … unless they were worried they still had to appeal to those lunatics.

I light up rooms and fireworks normally from sparks. Defeated by sinuses, sadly. I shall prevail somehow and light up that pub on Friday.

I think it stinks that it's on 9/11 but I did not plan this deal. I was not going to pay money to tour the hospital or university to see the teaching manniquins, thanks. I chose the pub dinner.

There's also a falala to visit an unsuspecting former professor who had a stroke. I hope this does not make it worse for her as she was the best one. I'm not going to be a part of that wahoo.

80 A guy in my fellowship had a dad with a plan ... for when the blacks attacked en masse. He would get his armed kids on the four corners of his house (I assume with reinforced walls, or at least sandbags) to fend off an attack from any approach. He also helped his son and me get our first handguns.

Of course that was New Orleans, and there had been "race riots" around the country. But it is still hard for me to imagine we will go so far down the "shoot the enemy in the streets" path to where we have to be that defensive.

Being remote on a farm, I'd be pretty easy to pick off while spraying my weeds, or doing anything outside. But I did move to a conservative area of Illinois last century, so maybe they'll come for me last ... and "we" can overwhelm the lunatics before they get here?

Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP memecoin fell 99% in its first hour of trading on Wednesday, as the son of former US President Joe Biden officially entered the market for politically themed cryptocurrencies.

The token, which we previewed here, issued on Ethereum layer-2 network Base, traded below $2.00, after opening at $199.50, according to CoinGecko data.

It appears to me that Father Time treats our personalities like a sculptor, shaving off all the material that is not the shape he sees beneath. Each becomes more purely his or her self; those who collect peeves become made entirely of them, while the generally kind let go of what few grumps they had.

So I think those obituaries are simply referring to the latter kind of old people, who instead of losing their ability to enjoy small pleasures, have lost their ability to be bothered by small troubles.

141 The central problem with the GOP foreign policy is that it has no real hawks.

On the left end of the GOP you have people like Chuck Hegel who want to avoid war and turn everything over to the UN, which BTW always ends up including completely domestic issues like guns as well.

Go a little bit to the right and you get the neocons, who want to fight wars for strategic reasons, but don't have the stomach to win them outright... and who also want the government to have the final say on who is good enough for the Second Amendment, or even the First Amendment. Because you know, we can't let the terrorists win.

Go further "right" and they want war all right: with Israel, the nation actually on the front line, because they ain't afraid of them damn Joos. And although they will swear that they love the Second Amendment, they never seem to put it on the same level as their obsession with the Joos, and they ultimately end up de facto supporting mass immigration, including illegal immigration, which will guarantee the nullification of the Bill of Rights. In any case, they are openly cheering the jihadists and the Democrats now.

Left Agitates for Killing People in the Streets for Socialism
James Talarico's "Pastor" Says He Wishes the Butler Assassin Had Been "More Successful"

Jonathan Turley:

"You better get ready for ... war." Across the country, radicals are openly planning for the next stage of their movement, and notably, the Democratic establishment is not part of their plans. Despite the talk of a "Big Tent Party," socialists are riding high on a surge of support and talking purges and revolution.
In Chicago, radicals gathered for a conference on Marxism during what many view as the heyday of socialism in the United States....
Speakers in Chicago used the conference to push supporters to the next stage in the movement, including some openly calling for violence and the end to capitalism.
University of California Santa Barbara History Professor Butch Ware said Democrats "must be destroyed" and urged attendees to be ready for "war in the streets." Notably, in postings on X, Ware has said that candidates such as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed are too restrained and are being pushed by the establishment "to contain radicalism."
The professor "of Africa and Islam" whose faculty page is appropriately found under "bware" is the latest radical to dismiss the "Big Tent Party" rhetoric of establishment figures like Schumer. He declared, "The Democrats cannot be reasoned with. They must be destroyed." There is little subtlety in the message, Ware has explained: "You cannot call yourself a revolutionary and not be talking about training with weapons."
...
Hasan Piker has called for a purging of moderates from the Democratic Party.
Just last week, Darializa Avila Chevalier declared, "A big tent doesn't pay your rent, lower your grocery bill, or take on the corporations bleeding our country dry. Democratic socialism does."
In a video posted to X, Professor Ware called for violence, warning followers that "some of these clickety-clack revolutionaries have never been in a f*cking gunfight." He menacingly added, "Y'all ain't nowhere near ready for a war in the streets. You better get ready for both kinds of war if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready."
...
Notably, this is the same university that saw a professor lead her students in physically assaulting pro-life advocates on campus years ago. Despite pleading guilty to criminal assault, she was not fired and later honored by the University of Oregon for her inspiring leadership.

They must be destroyed." There is little subtlety in the message, Ware has explained: "You cannot call yourself a revolutionary and not be talking about training with weapons."

Hasan Piker has called for a purging of moderates from the Democratic Party.

Just last week, Darializa Avila Chevalier declared, "A big tent doesn't pay your rent, lower your grocery bill, or take on the corporations bleeding our country dry. Democratic socialism does."

The left used a long march through the institutions of education. Trump's taken on higher ed, at least to some degree and probably to the limits that the GOPe will permit. However, he needs to directly uproot the K-12 system. It probably has to wait until after the mid-term, but then he needs to hit the ground running.

The destruction of the nuclear family, the advancement of government dependence, the lack of tether to anything resembling history, the dumbing down of education and achievement, and the concept that life owes everyone a living have destroyed what was a reasonably coherent nation.

Our church is full of former southern baptists, including the pastor!! (And us!! my dad was a deacon and a messenger to the SBC convention!!!) I realized I grew up in a Reform Baptist/Southern Baptist, because the liturgy of the PCA was very much like the services we had. The seeker sensitive movement that began in the 70's got rid of that beautiful worship and broke the church into the nonsense we have now.

The old ladies at the church will tell you, priests come and priests go, but the Church remains for us. The same is true of Popes. Catholics have always withstood bad Popes, through the centuries. Hell, we've withstood not having a Pope because the idiots in the Curia wouldn't vote on one. Popes are not the Church, just like bad priests are not the Church. I could never abandon the Mass and the Sacraments, and neither of them depend on the sanctity of the priest offering them. They are the way Jesus comes to us physically, and I just could never leave that fountain of grace and mercy.

YMMV.

175 153 tcn: Episcopalians and Methodists retain some of the saints of the Church, starting with the Evangelists and Apostles. Their intercession is not sought but they are respected in the names of churches.
Lots of Saint Marks and Saint Johns in Episcopal churches in Houston. (And schools. There's a Saint Francis as well.)
Posted by: 88C+u at September 09, 2026 04:55 PM (88C+u)

Well, why have them if you aren't going to talk to them? Sorry, I'm Catholic, and we believe the Saints are called saints because they are in heaven, and see Jesus face to face, as it says in the Bible, so there's no reason why we can't ask them to intercede for us, just as we ask others on earth to pray for us. What's the point of having a saint if they are just there standing around?

I understand the notion of idolatry, but that's not what we do since saints are clearly not God, so it is a bit difficult to understand from my viewpoint.

We also have a lot of young families, and older families. And in between families. I swear 90% of my clients also go. It’s packed every Sunday.

No one says Clancy or Diddy. A few people say Bin Laden.

In spite of the liberal wimmen spew even insane reddit people don't like Clancy or her bird of prey face. She reeks evil to me.

Ah yes UCSB, my old school. One of the easiest campuses to get accepted in the whole UC system (which is how I got in without ever taking the SAT), where drug use is a sacrament. Next door to one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the US, Isla Vista, where the whole place smells like a pot farm. Populated by hippy wannabes and bearded homeless pedo men who got off by walking onto campus with a sweatshirt that said "masturbate and be free". Used to see that creepy fucker every day during on-campus days.

Nothing says "gravitas" like UCSB.

Absolutely none of that is true. Luther explained his reasoning on the Castle Church door in Wittenberg.

You might hate Luther, but it is not a reason to lie about Protestantism's confessional origins.

Now the anabaptists, Waldensians, Hussites and Lollards also broke from Rome for doctrinal reasons. Rome ended up murdering Wycliffe for daring to bring translations of the Scriptures to the people.

St. Francis was opposed to the Church’s accumulation of material wealth. Had he not stayed within the Church, he no doubt would be described as having mental and emotional ills. Jan Hus certainly was treated as a heretic and the Holy Roman Emperor’s promise of safety was nullified by that presumption. Luther too might have burned were it not for the protection of certain German princes. The Church needed reform, but wanted money more. The Protestant Reformation was inevitable and bloody. And of course, “the” Church had already split and anathematised the Orthodox Church, which has the same claim to originality as “the” Church. The Protestants claim to be the true church as well. My church says both the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed which recognizes one true catholic church. Note the lower case “c” in catholic.

Manufacturing Jobs Surge Thanks to Trump's Tariffs and America First Agenda

The Regime doesn't like this.
People with steady jobs have confidence and people with confidence can oppose the Regime.

American manufacturing is on the rebound -- and that good news could hardly come at a better time for President Donald Trump, as Republicans gird themselves for the midterm elections just two months from now.
Manufacturing isn't the only sector that's on a hiring spree; businesses across the board added 162,000 new jobs in August.
Even The New York Times called the latest employment numbers "zesty."
The paper quoted T. Rowe Price's chief US economist, Blerina Uruci: "It's a very good report . . . And it perhaps shows that financial conditions more broadly are not that tight."
The workforce participation rate rose as well -- which matters, because people who drop out of the labor force are invisible in unemployment rates that only count those who are looking for work.
This economy is pulling Americans who'd given up hope off the sidelines and putting them to work.
That's a success not only for Trump's economic policy, but for his immigration crackdown, too: It's no longer so easy for companies to abandon Americans by hiring foreign workers instead.
Establishment economists predicted none of this.
They were certain Trump's tariffs would be catastrophic, and that American industry would contract without constant infusions of foreign labor.
Relentless efforts to stop the president's economic agenda in the courts created uncertainty that's bad for business.
Companies have to make plans based on a predictable environment of taxation and regulation -- if nobody knows whether tariffs will remain in place, nobody can afford to make long-range decisions about re-shoring jobs and buying from American suppliers instead of sources overseas.
That's what the president's foes -- who want maximum economic globalization -- were counting on.
...
Yet all the lawfare of the past year hasn't stopped the America First employment agenda from succeeding.
The results have been especially impressive in manufacturing, where the latest numbers show the biggest growth coming from jobs that make long-lasting products.
As Peter Navarro, former director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy, notes in RealClearMarkets, "Manufacturing employment rose by 16,000 in August, with nearly all of that gain coming from durable-goods manufacturing."

Trump and Vance are also promoting their planned reversal of an LBJ-era rule that homes with a stay-at-home mother are not eligible for family subsidies available to homes with only working parents.

The White House is reportedly planning to reverse a half-century of damage to the nuclear family by rewarding married parents who stay home and raise their children, as Vice President JD Vance appears poised to officially announce the program's addition on Thursday at the Republican National Convention's (RNC) Dallas gathering.
"A two-parent family is the best place in which to raise a kid, and certainly it's a sacrifice. But our job is to raise good children who become good citizens, and so I think that this is an important initiative," Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks told Just The News.
The administration is drafting a rule that would let stay-at-home married parents receive subsidies from the $12 billion Child Care and Development Fund. Vance has made the initiative a priority, telling the crowd at his Marietta, Georgia rally on Saturday: "What's left over with the ashes of what they've torn down is socialism. Well, we've got a different approach, my friends. We want to invest in you. We want to fight for you, and we want to fight for your children's future."
"We're going to defeat socialism by giving you a stake in the American dream and that's how we're going to win the future. Our goal is to reverse a concensus that has screwed over communities like this one for decades," Vance concluded.
Under the draft, one married parent could receive aid to care for their own child while a spouse works at least 35 hours a week. Unmarried couples and nonworking single parents would remain ineligible.
The program now serves about 1.3 million children, mostly in households headed by single-working parents. Critics say expanding eligibility without extra funding would squeeze current recipients and providers, and the rule will need White House approval and a public comment period to take effect next .
I saw one conservative object to this plan by saying that the aid is a socialist measure and extending socialist measures to stay-at-home-mom families is still extending socialism.
I guess that's true -- but the socialist measure is already on the books and is unlikely to be repealed. Given that -- does it make sense to deny these child subsidies to parents just because one parent raises the kids at home?

The estimates I see are that married stay at home mothers voted Trump 57-43 versus 52-47 for married but not stay at home.

So I'd pay money to get more of that 52% into the 57%.

And honestly having kids raised by their own mother is better for them then daycare.

9 I do see a fair number of couples where both work and the argument is they need both salaries.

Another point on this - the left works politically because people get paid to be part of the left. We identify this as socialism and it usually is, but the bigger problem isn't we have socialist measures it is that we are paying people to be leftwingers.

Well, fine, even under Trump we've only been able to nibble at the edges of this so screw it do the same thing but pay people to be rightwingers. This is war isn't it?

16 The counter attack the left seems to have settled on is that most job growth has been to females. I have seen that meme all over.

I think what has happened is that most of the deportees are male, so US men have significant job growth, but it is replacing foreign men and so does not appear in the selected data.

US women are both seeing jobs replacing foreign men, and the growth in the economy, but they are not seeing near as much decrease do to deportations.

20 The New Deal is a century old. You are never ever repealing the social democratic welfare state. The only question is who is to be subsidized, and who are to be placed on the government payroll.

The reason the Left has won, is winning, and will continue to win is that when they win elections they use that power to reward their supporters with real benefits. When the Democrats win a Presidential election they fire every rightwing and apolitical appointee and employee and give leftist true believers jobs. They then create vast new government programs which employ their voters.

If you work for a winning Democratic campaign, you get a job. If you vote for a winning Democratic candidate, your life gets better in real tangible ways. They take money from their enemies and give it to their friends and they never ever apologize for it, in fact they crow about it, they boast about it, and then impotent rightwing commentators whine about "WHAT IF THE SITUATIONS WERE REVERSED?"

A true rightwing administration would fire every federal employee who was unmarried, nonwhite, or sexually deviant, and replace them with married white men.

I have mixed feelings about this. If you imagine a 2 parent household with both parents working, this new policy will be an incentive for some to have one parent quit working and then grab the subsidy. It's a bad incentive.

If things are so bad back home give them a few months of military training and some rifles.

Yeah that's the point bro. Having children raised in their formative years by an actual parent and not shlepped off to daycare for 8-9 hours a day is preferable to society as a whole.

38 I saw one conservative object to this plan by saying that the aid is a socialist measure and extending socialist measures to stay-at-home-mom families is still extending socialism.

I guess that's true -- but the socialist measure is already on the books and is unlikely to be repealed. Given that -- does it make sense to deny these child subsidies to parents just because one parent raises the kids at home?

I haven't made up my mind yet, but I'll admit I lean towards thinking we're going to have to do everything we can to encourage people to have children, and that the ones we most need to encourage are the smarter, harder working ones who are currently the least fertile cohort.

39 Canada still has a baby bonus for each kid you have. So people can come from shithole countries, pop out the kids, barely work and live a life better in their craphole.

Or hell, just have the money deposited and go home for extended visists.

It's working out great!!!

In tariff news, BC is pulling out the BIG GUNS people. They, sit down, put up a sign yesterday saying Canada will never be the 51st state. Bravo. So brave.

On the CBC, I have been seeing a bit more hesitancy that putting the sawed off economic shotgun into our mouth and pulling - or would you have to push - may not be the best of moves.

We may cave sooner than thought but I think Carney wants to hurt Trump in the midterms and I'd like to see Trump give official notice to end the Free Trade Agreement. Let the little bitch play chicken with the Trumpster....

48 Part of the reason the governing elites pushed so hard for women to join the workforce in mass was to pump up economic numbers but its mostly fake.

If a mother is paying 80% of her take home salary in daycare and related costs this is not a win for anyone.

The left argues we should "fix" this by giving those mothers "free" daycare which would be a nightmare on so many levels but incentive all mothers to work.

This reverses that, for the cases where the mother wants to stay home but needs the bump from the money left over from daycare this should be enough...

49 "Yes, this is redistribution of wealth and socialism. How about we get rid of taxes that created the Child Care and Development Act that the cynical liars who thought of this are trying to sell as a pro family move. If the problem is that someone does not earn enough, cut government, cut taxes. 25% percent of stay at home parents are male. Steal from the woking ones, so the stay at home daddy can work on his space opera ? Great idea. As good as Land to the Peasants and Factories to the Workers."

If you had an electorate that would support repealing it, never would have passed in the first place.

We didn't used to need a standing police force, a constantly sitting judge, and a prison system, because we just executed criminals as soon as they were caught.

We didn't used to need an immigration service, because you had to sail for weeks on a ship to get here, and when you got here it was work or starve.

90 Hypothesis:

J.D. Vance has merely been given the difficult assignment of appealing to the Neanderthal Right, and is actually cleverer and more politically astute than he sometimes might appear.

The Setting:

2028 is looming. It's becoming clear that the two GOp nominees are: Rubio, and Vance. Whom shall we pick?

The Problem:

Rubio seems smarter, more eloquent, more politically attuned to MAGA. Vance is OK on a lot of issues, but for unknown reasons he's been disturbingly Tucker-curious. And he appeals more to the "knuckle-dragging" contingent of the GOP, i.e. paleo-conservatives, rather than the post-modern Trump-style conservatives. The problem? As VP, Vance is the presumptive nominee. Even though Rubio seems like a better bet to harvest easy victories coast-to-coast. His Hispanic name will also be a big plus, netting millions of votes in Hispanic-heavy states like Florida, Arizona, etc.

Solution, and hypothesis:

Vance is part of Trump's inner circle, and he was given the most difficult political assignment of all: Keep the knuckle-draggers in the GOP tent. So he purposely acts Tucker-curious as a strategy, not because he actually believes it.

Agree?

The Atlantic had an article on polyamory. Their take? Its something that rich people do because they are bored.

I saw this being analyzed on a leftwing forum so I thought I would see what they thought and the answer?

There were a bunch of responses from people saying they were in a polygamous relationship and not only were they not rich (note based on their other posts this was dubious as they most looked to be in the top quarter of earners) but it made things like child care easier as you could have two working parents and a third to raise the kids "for free"

Pretty much all of the posters were women in MFF relationships and it is funny because they've gone back to a very early view on marriage where as long as the man could afford more wives why shouldn't he?

There was a time when a single salary at a decent job could support a family comfortably. Now we've gone and fucked that to no end. Housing costs are astronomical compared to what they used to be, and if you don't want to live in a hovel or a ghetto, you're going to be paying a lot of money so your kids can grow up safe and in a decent school, and that means both parents work.

Axshully, it was Congress that passed the Big Beautiful Bill because that is what the Constitution mandates. Yea, it was Trump's idea as were all the tax cuts but Congress appropriates money and then the Executive is legally bound to spend. He's allowed to make some modification as Trump is proposing by sending some of the appropriated funds to parents instead of to LaQuisha but he still has to spend it.

We need a better Congress if we really want spending cuts of any significance.

Funny you should mention that. I was listening to AM Dallas talk radio the other day and they had on the guy running for Texas district 34 and he pretty much said the same thing when asked about expanded government spending to give to parents to stay home.

His take was there is no way at this point we are ever going to reign in any sort of government spending and it is going to continue to grow so why can't we toss some $$$$ to parents who want to stay home and raise kids.

He is not wrong. But I disagree with this new subsidy because like all other forms of government handouts it will be rife with fraud and illegals getting money.

138 Subsidized. Hot. Nannies.

The Atlantic had an article on polyamory. Their take? Its something that rich people do because they are bored.

I saw this being analyzed on a leftwing forum so I thought I would see what they thought and the answer?

There were a bunch of responses from people saying they were in a polygamous relationship and not only were they not rich (note based on their other posts this was dubious as they most looked to be in the top quarter of earners) but it made things like child care easier as you could have two working parents and a third to raise the kids "for free"

Posted by: 18-1 at September 09, 2026 03:59 PM (sKqQm)
_______

The "rich people bored" angle on polyamory is mostly old school swinging, where they don't choose permanent second partners. It's much more common than people think.

The new trendy "polyamory" among the less financially secure is basically just roommates sharing rent and expenses. Maybe they're fucking each other, maybe not. But poly is very trendy at the moment, so more people will claim to be poly than actually practice it.

It's not new and the program has not been expanded. Trump doesnt have that power. No president does.

Congress already appropriated the money. Trump is just trying to move some of the money Congress already approptiated to what he sees as a better cause.

The reason Trump was impeaced over Ukraine is Democrats in Congress were claiming Trump was refusing to spend money that Congress had appropriated for Ukraine. Once Congress appropriates it, the Executive must spend it. The only argument here is handouts to which group?

Generally costs should go down as technology improves the way we produce goods and services.

This has stopped in recent years because of government bureaucracy and inflation.

The FNM will tell you it is a shame the minimum wage isn't $30 but the problem is the costs of food, energy, and healthcare should be about 1/4th to 1/10th of what they are now. And would be if we didn't open a "war on poverty"

It's because boss babes aren't sexually attractive to normal men. They aren't feminine. They're masculine, competitive, and generally hard to be around in a domestic situation.

Basically the old adage: "No matter how hot she is, there's a man out there that's tired of her shit." So when the soft 25 year old nanny brushes up against the dad in the kitchen and he starts thinking with the wrong head, that's basically what's to blame.

Congress has never needed an excuse to grow a progam. Not ever. That's why we are $40 trillion in debt and arguing over less money than was stolen in Minnesota. Let me know when Congress gets around to cutting the programs that funded that fraud.

Trump does not have the power to refuse to spend money Congress has already appropriated. That's the Constitution. He can have his administration move some of the money in the same department it was targeted for as Trump is trying to do here but it's still going to be spent and not even God himself seems to be able to stop the dipshits in Congress from continuing to spend more every single year no matter how big our debt.

Texas School Board Approves "Controversial" Theory That the 9/11 Attacks Were Inspired by Radical Islamic Ideology

The only controversial idea here is that it is radical Islamic ideology that inspired the attacks.
Some might say that plain-old Islam was behind the terrorist slaughter.

The Texas Board of Education gave final approval to changes to the state's high school social studies curriculum, a controversial move that will impact how students are taught about Islam and Christianity.
The amended social studies curriculum, which covers US history, government and world geography, comes after dozens of people gave public testimony, with most expressing their opposition to the finalized version.
The board approved language asserting that "radical Islam" motivated the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks rather than taking a more narrow focus on the terrorist groups involved in the attack.
The material also requires students to study early Islam through Prophet Muhammad's "brutal military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes," the "normalization of slavery" and the taking of female captives as "harem slaves."
Several Democratic State Board of Education members pushed back against the wording, but the Republican-majority board still approved that section and the other changes on Friday.
Muslim groups and students, as well as multiple curriculum experts, also spoke out against the new changes.
"I feel attacked, as if my religion doesn't belong," Habiiba Quresh, a 15-year-old Muslim student, told the board, according to The Texas Tribune. "I shouldn't have to defend my religion in the middle of history class because of one sentence someone on this board wrote."
When the Regime wants to talk endlessly about whites practicing slavery, and whites complain, the Regime says that whites are babies with "white fragility" who are just covering up their "white supremacist culture."
When you point out that Islam enslaved hundreds of thousands of Europeans and Americans, and Jefferson had to send multiple squadrons of ships to stop Muslims from enslaving us, they whine that you're imposing your white supremacy on them.
Only (((some people))) are required to reckon with their ancestors' unsavory actions.
At the WSJ, John J. Miller notes that "The Road to 9/11" aired once and then was buried forever.

A 9/11 Story Some Want Us to Forget
'The Path to 9/11' suggested some inconvenient truths 20 years ago. It's been memory-holed ever since.

A television miniseries disappeared down the memory hole. "The Path to 9/11" aired exactly once, two decades ago. Then it vanished. ABC hasn't shown it since. The network has refused to release it on a disc or as a download. No streaming service carries it.
It's almost like someone doesn't want you to watch it.
Millions of Americans saw the docudrama in 2006, on the fifth anniversary of 9/11. It played across two nights, without commercials. Its major inspiration was the final report of the 9/11 Commission, the bipartisan panel empowered by federal law to investigate the terrorist attacks.
"Few people actually read the report," says Quinn Taylor, the former ABC executive who conceived of the show, in an interview. "Our goal was to put it in living rooms and make people think."
...
"The Path to 9/11" is a gripping story of failure....
A lot of Democrats took "The Path to 9/11" seriously. Instead of letting it become an occasion to learn from the mistakes of past, however, they proclaimed political grievances. They disliked its suggestion that President Clinton was too distracted by his paramour Monica Lewinsky. They objected to its depictions of Clinton administration figures who blocked O'Neill and others as they tried to thwart bin Laden. They didn't care that many of the people behind the program were fellow Democrats. "I'm to the left of the left," says Hans Proppe, a producer. "We were just telling history."
The most controversial scene involves CIA operatives and their tribal allies in Afghanistan as they prepare to snatch bin Laden from a remote compound. With the villain in their sights, they seek a green light from President Clinton's national security adviser Sandy Berger, played by Kevin Dunn. At first, Berger dithers in the situation room. He looks weak. Ultimately, he refuses to grant the go-ahead order. When the bad news arrives down range, an Afghan warrior asks a devastating question: "Are there any men left in Washington or are they all cowards?"
Berger and others claimed that this never happened. Yet it's based on an incident described in "The 9/11 Commission Report." In 1998 the CIA had identified a possible bin Laden hideout near Kandahar, Afghanistan. For months, teams rehearsed an operation to apprehend him. The plan was risky. Officials debated whether to approve it. Days before it would have occurred, it was called off. "Impressions vary as to who actually decided not to proceed," says the report. It could have been CIA director George Tenet. There's a good chance it was Berger.
Perhaps calling it off was the right move. Maybe the mission would have failed. We'll never know. The report makes a simple observation: "No capture plan before 9/11 ever again attained the same level of detail and preparation."
A couple of weeks before the scheduled broadcast of "The Path to 9/11," ABC sponsored a screening in Washington, D.C. It showed a portion of the program, including the scene with Berger. Almost immediately, Democrats revolted. Harry Reid of Nevada, Chuck Schumer of New York, and three other senators sent a letter to Bob Iger, who was the CEO of Disney, which owns ABC. It warned him about "misinformation," urged him "to cancel this broadcast," and reminded him in the manner of extortionists who run a protection racket that ABC enjoys "a free broadcast license" from the government "to act as a trustee of the public airwaves serving in the public interest."
It was a brazen move. It might even be described as "despicable, disgusting, and against democratic values," which is what Mr. Schumer called President Trump's demands that ABC fire Jimmy Kimmel last year, after the late-night host claimed that the assassin of conservative activist Charlie Kirk was "one of them," i.e., a member of "the MAGA gang."
At least the letter from the senators was a public document. The media reported on it. Americans could read it. In private, President Clinton phoned Mr. Iger and insisted that he stop the show, according to the journalist Carol Felsenthal in her 2008 book, "Clinton in Exile." ABC responded by ordering last-minute edits. The scene with Berger was chopped up. "That was an important sequence," says Cyrus Nowrasteh, the screenwriter. "We were censored."
...
After the single showing, ABC deep-sixed "The Path to 9/11." The company appears to have no plans for a revival. "It was cancelled before cancel culture was a thing," says David L. Cunningham, the director.
Other movies about 9/11 are available in the usual ways. These include acclaimed films such as "United 93" and "Zero Dark Thirty" as well as "Fahrenheit 9/11," the anti-Bush screed by left-wing polemicist Michael Moore. Only "The Path to 9/11" is absent, perhaps along with the movies that Hollywood never made because producers witnessed the fate of those who dared to question the legacy of Clinton 1.0 and wondered about the prospect of Clinton 2.0, as Hillary Clinton ran for president in 2008 and 2016.
Meanwhile, Islamist propagandists are claiming that images of the "Falling Men" of 9/11 are Islamophobic, and are further claiming that no one actually saw these images at the time, but were later discovered and pushed as propaganda. This is a bizarre claim, and I'm not even sure this claim, even if true, would aid the Islamists.

There is now an entire generation alive which doesn’t have its own memories of 9/11

Hasan Piker jihadsplains that his statement that "America deserved 9/11" was "a joke" and then goes on to say that five years ago, there was reportage about the US's support of the mujahideen which resulted in "backlash" from the Islamic world that resulted in 9/11. He says that he thought this vindicated his older statement that "America deserved 9/11," but he also says that was just "a joke."
"A joke" which he's claiming was vindicated as accurate and true. You know, that kind of "joke."

I'm the black sheep of the family.
I'm in and out of trouble,
I'm the talk of the town.
I get wild in the street when the Sun goes down.

I steal around like a thief in the night,
Dancing till the break of day.

Bad boys,
Running under cover of moonlight.
Bad, bad boys,
Getting wild in the street, wild in the city.

I see you, you see me,
Just a black street boy in society.
With high-heeled women full of champagne and lies,
Getting wild in the street till the hot sunrise ...

13 "Only (((some people))) are required to reckon with their ancestors' unsavory actions."

The American (feather) Indians were big slavers too. Despite the pro-Indian propaganda about "noble savages," the reality was that there were very rich Indians living on yuge plantations with 100s of slaves.

You know all that whining and crying and boo-hooing about the Trail of Tears? Probably 90% of what is told about that is pure lies. One big fact left out is that the poor whittle oppressed Indians brought thousands of their black slaves with them. Hundreds of slaves died on the trip.

The only mention of the Islamic slave trade I can recall in any kind of popular media is in, of all places, the HBO show "Oz", where the main Muslim leader Kareem Saïd mentions it's long past time to start talking about what the Arabs did with African blacks via their slave trade.

Even all the way across the country, on my college's campus, there was apparently one palestinian student who ran across campus cheering.

A foreigner, who applied and paid money to deliberately come to school in a country he (apparently) hated, violating all customs of hospitality and good manners, by cheering when the people whose guest he was got attacked. His people couldn't even take credit for it!

I hope someone gave him a blanket party and told him to go home.

It's very frustrating.

I had a dispute with a recruiter and for a long time, I felt some guilt for not enlisting. Until my friends started coming back, and all said it was pointless.

I thought I got what they meant, and then the A'stan bug out hammered it home.

But I didn't *really* get it til Mamdani got elected.

So many (actually) American young men had to go fight defending the honor of a state that never managed to rise above the bottom tenth for armed forces recruitment, while they were disparaged by them at every turn for a quarter of a fucking century before handing over the city to the enemy ENTHUSIASTICALLY.

It has to stand among the worst injustices in American history. No mother should have to weep over a flag-draped coffin because her son died defending the enemy swine in the Acela Corridor ever again.

The Koran was mostly an ORAL tradition until long after Mo was dead.

Then one of his followers a couple of generations later got the bright idea to collect all of the oral traditions into a single compiled manuscript.

All other competing manuscripts (especially those that contradicted the "official" record) were purposefully destroyed so that there would only be the One True Koran.

The Koran also follows the principle of "abrogation" where the later, more violent chapters cancel out the earlier peaceful ones.

That means violence has the last word in the Koran in terms of guiding Muslim behavior.

138 9/11 happened because Thomas Jefferson told the caliphate to go stuff itself when they demanded tribute, and make it stick by force of arms.

The islamic world hasn't forgiven us or forgotten how we humiliated them since.

First, they don't DESERVE to have their name capitalized, fuck them.

Second, Winston Churchill always referred to them as mohammedans, and if Churchill used the term then that's all right by me.

But mostly, because it pisses off both the mohammedans themselves and their commie cocksucker allies-of-the-moment.

If you study it (and there are a lot of people on youtube who do and they have websites with tons of details) you realize the whole book is garbage.

No one was supposed to read it. They are slaves, and slaves are supposed to be mostly illiterate and they only memorize the sounds, without knowing the language.

And if you read them, they are pretty much an illogical mess filled with contradictions that negate the entire thing.

"Solved" through the doctrine of abrogation which holds that with any contradiction in the koran, the later passages are considered to be the true word of allah. Coincidentally, that means that the earlier, peaceful Meccan suras are rendered invalid by the later, rather more bloodthirsty Medinan suras.

It is the nexus between cult, slavery, and a legal system. With "religion" used as the logical justification.

The main part is slavery though. It was created during a period and by a people whose main goal was to to invade neighboring villages and enslave their populations. This was a mugs game though because slaves are very hard to control -- so they needed the book. And the "prhophet" and the rules. Look closely and it is all very clear that it is only intended to control populations as they raid and expand.

179 Speaking of TX, this is plainly illegal discrimination.

Despite his moderate facade, Democrat Texas Senate nominee James Talarico put up several job postings that prioritized transgender and nonwhite people, according to listings reviewed by the Daily Caller.

Past Talarico political campaigns pushed numerous job listings specifically urging minorities to apply. Critics contend that this pattern in campaign hiring belies Talarico's progressive priorities and his past campaign's full embrace of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

"Women, people of color, and LGBTQIA+ applicants are strongly encouraged to apply," one listing reads.

Talarico has also openly bragged about having a majority female and minority staff, criticizing other candidates who take the minority vote for granted.

191 The first radical Islamist attacks here were relatively small starting in the 70’s, but single or small number of victims. The 1993 WTC bombing was the predecessor of 9/11, and as it failed in its design to bring the WTC down, the airplane attack of 9/11 was devised and executed. 1993 should have been the warning that was heeded, instead of ignored. I suspect most Americans don’t even remember that happened or who was responsible.

195 Should have banned all Muslim immigration after 911......

In a video that the popular X account Clown World circulated on Friday and that has amassed over 700,000 views since then, a Muslim is enraged at a Safeway supermarket. Muslim rage is nothing new, and Americans better get used to it, as we’re going to see a great deal more of it, but the setting was novel.

Clown World explained why the chap in the video was so terribly angry: “Muslim guy walks into Safeway, sees a clearly labeled halal section, then goes around the same island, spots Jimmy Dean bacon, and starts saying Safeway needs to be ‘called out.’ It’s a grocery store. They sell chicken, beef, pork, pickles, cereal, and baklava under the same roof. That’s literally the point. If your religion says don’t eat pork, then don’t buy it. The entire supermarket does not need to be rearranged so you never have to look at bacon.”

Indeed. But the creator of the video is clearly in no mood to be reasonable. The video runs with a caption, “Safeway: Halal and Haraam together,” just in case you miss what you’re supposed to be shocked about.

Biggest Dubya mistake post 9/11 is in not emulating the first thing Bull Halsey said when he sailed into Pearl Harbor the day after Japan wrecked it.

"By the time this war is over, the Japanese language will only be spoken in Hell."

Of course, even in WWII, FDR and Truman didn't go that far, but 80+ years later modern Japan has turned into a relatively reliable ally. Having the Americans drop two homemade suns onto a couple of your cities goes a long ways towards adjusting your shitty, genocidal attitude.

I later found out a colleague was in the South tower when the first plane hit. They went down about thirty floors to the patio and watched for a bit before deciding to head back in. Then the second plane hit...

221 None of us will forget.

My husband's cousin, NYFD, died when the first tower collapsed. I think the FD made it up to the 36th floor and told people coming down to keep going. His other cousin, the Chief in the French documentary, locked eyes with his brother before he went to his death. They moved the command center when the souls started jumping to avoid over 1800 degree fire.

He has 50 first cousins. Large Catholic family from Queens. Many were second generation NYC firefighters or NYPD. For 48hrs 4 were missing due to communication but were ok.

In FL, #2 son had a cell phone and alerted the teacher in HS. All watched. I called son at UF and told him to stay home. My husband came home.

Our ED was notified to expect patients and, obviously, none sadly arrived.

The miracle was that most of 17k people escaped the Towers except for those above where the planes hit.

Saw the second plane hit, live, and called my husband as I knew life changed that moment.

People gnashing their teeth trying to be among those defending our shores and airspace and wanting to strike back.

229 I must say that there are parts of the Koran that are good. From all accounts, if you just ignore Mohammed after he fled Mecca, the parts of the Koran from them are innocuous and not bad.

It's after he fled Mecca that it gets into the modern Islam of conquest, rape, slavery, etc. But if we just said "if you want to be Muslim, you have to reject the Medina period" then Islam wouldn't be bad.

New York Post: Disney Groomer Network ABC Will Not Renew Jimmy Kimmel's Contract, Show Will End in 2027

Oh no!
This is just what Page 6 "is told." There is no official word on this, and in fact the Disney Groomer Network is "pushing back" against the claim.

Next season of ABC's late-night show "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" will be the last, Page Six is told.
"His contract is not getting extended," a source familiar with the situation explained.
The season begins Tuesday and would wrap up, after 24 years on the air, in May 2027.
A spokesperson for ABC Entertainment told us, "[This] information is inaccurate -- any reports about the future of the show at this point are purely speculative."
That's barely a denial.

Kimmel takes pride in signing year-to-year deals, which are rare in the TV biz and allow him unusual flexibility.
The news comes on the heels of Rosie O'Donnell completing a four-night guest-hosting run on his show that was a ratings success.

O'Donnell was "in her element," a source told us. So much so that she went viral for mocking her longtime nemesis, President Trump, by performing a parody of the traditional Irish song "Danny Boy" that she called "Donnie Boy."
...
Insiders say the move is unlikely to be related to Kimmel's antagonistic relationship with the Trump administration.
...
[O]ur sources say new Disney boss Josh D'Amaro wouldn't be swayed by politics.
"He's not afraid of the administration ... Josh isn't folding," the TV insider said.
D'Amaro has reportedly been offering veteran execs early retirement packages as part of restructuring and cost-cutting across the company.
Cost reductions may have played a factor in their decision to part ways with Kimmel because, as one ABC source said, "it wouldn't have anything to do with Trump."

The Rosie O'Donnell "ratings success" is a double-edged sword, isn't it?
By "ratings success," they mean the Unfunny Version of Annie Wilkes scored much higher ratings than Jimmy Kimmel.
That's not good news for Jimmy Kimmel, is it?
It's hard to find Jimmy Kimmel's average ratings, because most search results are about ratings in specific weeks. But I found an article stating that his average ratings over an entire quarter in 2025 were 1.77 million.

And Rosie O'Donnell got 1.87 million.
If I were an executive, what I would take from this is that I can plop any non-talent in the 11:35 pm slot and get better ratings than Jimmy Kimmel.
Rosie O'Donnell's "ratings success" hit 1.87 million per episode. That's... not great.
Maybe the Rosie O'Donnell "ratings success" convinced ABC to drop Jimmy Kimmel like a bad habit that is also a very unfunny habit.

38 The problem that none of the big networks wants to acknowledge is that their market is so oversaturated with content, there's simply NO WAY for them to have a "hit show" like they used to have back in the 1980s through the 2000s.

There are so many streaming options nowadays, that no one can ever capture a large enough market share of any one program to proclaim it a "hit."

They are stuck with hiring leftover dregs like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Rosie O'Donnell, hoping to cash in on name recognition from 20 years ago.

46 I think we could use a Rosie O’Donnell Show reboot. I forgot how good she is. Miss you already, Rosie!! 🩷

she used this week on JKL to test the waters as far as doing her own show again, and it really did feel like her OG show aside from the more pointed late-night humor.

She looks incredible. Really have missed her presence on TV, honestly. A+ trolling of Diaper Don.

Trump bringing up Rosie in the 2016 debates was one of the most embarrassing things I had ever witnessed. I had no idea how bad things would get.

I mean JD Vance will be so much worse, we have no good options until we get a good Democrat as Speaker of the House. And then MAYBE we have a chance.

It’s time for a Rosie renaissance. She’s been gone too long. She’s very intelligent and funny. She’s always had guts to say what she wants.

She still lives in Ireland and recently said she is looking forward to when she can move back home after Trump is gone.

47 Kimmel sucks. Of course pretty much all the prime time tv "comedians" suck. And most the current crop of standup comedians are painfully unfunny with maybe a handful of exceptions. So many of them are "comedians" only because some Netflix producers got together and decided to slap the "comedian" label on some unfunny people and let them record specials in front of slack-jawed retards who would laugh at soiling their own underwear.

61 The problem that none of the big networks wants to acknowledge is that their market is so oversaturated with content, there's simply NO WAY for them to have a "hit show" like they used to have back in the 1980s through the 2000s.

There are so many streaming options nowadays, that no one can ever capture a large enough market share of any one program to proclaim it a "hit."

They are stuck with hiring leftover dregs like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and Rosie O'Donnell, hoping to cash in on name recognition from 20 years ago.

Hell hasn't yet broken loose, no burning US flags or effigies.

I did ask one of the AIs about some of the DisneyChannel shows they have on now. Cute, funny and not safe for kids because even though they stepped back from the gay shit and BET for kids, every white girl wants the black guy.

But they cancelled the new 'Wizards Beyond Waverly Place' even though it's ratings were really good for them. It was a cute show.

But AI says unless shows become major hits, they're getting cancelled before 3 seasons when staff would be getting raises.

But after going woke, conservatives and caring parents don't let their kids watch so I don't see how they'll ever have another big hit again. And how do you build any sort of loyalty cancelling everything after two seasons?

I'd think Disney would have the cash, but AI said no.

Johnny Carson could make jokes about either party. Fallon, with today's liberals cannot. He literally got hell from the left for mussing up Trump's hair in 2016 and treating him like his other celebrity guests.

"On September 15, 2016, Jimmy Fallon famously mussed Donald Trump's hair during a taping of The Tonight Show, a viral moment that occurred weeks before the 2016 presidential election. Fallon asked to do "one silly thing" to prove the hair was real, and Trump agreed, allowing Fallon to wildly tousle his locks on air.

The stunt drew significant criticism from Trump opponents who argued it "humanized" the candidate, while Fallon later admitted he "made a mistake" and felt "depressed" and "devastated" by the backlash. A former Tonight Show writer revealed the gag was originally intended as a companion piece to a planned bit with Hillary Clinton, which fell through when she declined to participate. "

And Rosie O'Donnell got 1.87 million.”

Simping on Starlets
Acting like a dweeb
Making jokes about how much of a dweeb he is.

I think Disney is like Nike, past its glory days and broadcast TV division, even under Eisner, was on the chopping block to be sold. High salaries and costs in relation to revenue. And that requires major downsizing. That is what led to Colbert being canned--the sale of that network to new owners.

Broadcast, if it survives, is likely to be more like Weird Al's UHF than the old polished one. Cutting costs to the bone and wall to wall pharma ads.

I read an article a few years ago about the importance on the rotisserie chicken to Costco, and how they had to source their own farms to have a specific chicken breed. Normal chicken farms keep breeding bigger and bigger chickens (that cost more, because they're heavier). Costco has a certain breed custom raised to keep the weight consistent, and the birds small enough to fit multiple in their existing rotisserie infrastructure.

And individuals do or do not exemplify the category--it is a central tendency measure used for analyis, not an individual based one.

And it is as true and false as everyone in Japan speaks Japanese.

An individual based measure means that you throw away useful data about a group tendency because of outliers. And that makes it even worse because then the assumption is that you can scale the outlier's tendencies to speak for the general.

I think the new management at ABC will end up dismantling the whole broadcast, theme parks, movie, cable divisions. The cable and broadcast are simply not making the money anymore like they used to due to slumping cable ratings and carriage fees and slumping broadcast tv audiences. And the ad money is going somewhere else as well.

The economics of Colbert's show, for example are brutal--losing money every airing is not a way to success. And I'd imagine Kimmel's show has comparable cost to revenue problems that Colbert had.

The guy that assembled the Devil Mouse conglomerate, Bob Iger, recognized the problem but emotionally could not swing the axe to dismantle his own legacy. The new guy doesn't have that issue.

WMAL here in DC. Turn it on at any given point in time, and you're going to be in the middle of a block of ads.

I read that talk stations had to run a lot of ads because Rush charged so much for his show. I doubt that any of his successors can charge what he was charging, so maybe the stations could actually cut back on the ads and still make money.

Lindsay Clancy Jury Forewoman Admits She Was "So Excited" When She Thought She'd Get to Acquit the Killer; Another Female Juror Says the Male Holdout "Just Couldn't Get Past the Fact That She Viciously Killed Her Children"

He just couldn't get over that, huh?
Wow, he's so irrational.
And he wouldn't listen to the nine hens pecking at him and cursing at him! (They admit that profanity was used.)
What a toxic-masculinity monster who won't just do what angry depraved Karens command him to do.
Unbelievable.

The jury foreperson in Lindsay Clancy's high-stakes triple murder trial detailed just how close the panel was to finding the killer mom not guilty by reason of insanity until one male holdout juror blocked the verdict.
"He admitted he had reasonable doubt after we watched the video of the interview," the female juror told NBC 10 Boston in an interview with two other women jury members.
As I said before, I think this is a distortion. I think he said something to try to conciliate the profanity-spraying hens like "I can understand why you say she was insane" and the crazed kid-killer fans jumped on that and took that to mean acquittal, which they were "excited" by.

"I started filling out forms, I was so excited," the woman said.
"There were three forms I had to fill out and I started filling them out, I wrote my signature on each one but then he said, 'But I'm still not going to say she's not guilty by reason of insanity.'"
One of the three jurors, was named Paula and is a former government contractor. Another, Kelly, is a chef in Plymouth, and the foreperson, Ronnie, is a retired fifth-grade special needs teacher.
The jurors called the holdout "arrogant" for refusing to interact with the other members and for refusing to consider their takes on the evidence in the case.

He did consider your takes. You rejected them. Like all left-wing female supremacists, when you say a man must "hear" you, you mean a man must obey you.

"He was very arrogant. He really did not take anything that anybody said," one of the women claimed.
Another said, "every one of us in the hours of our frustration would get up and walk the room because you just couldn't sit anymore. And we would all go to the cart with the exhibits. He, I think, got up to the cart once very briefly and went back to his seat."
"He would not interact with us and try to understand," she continued. "We read to him, on numerous occasions, the definition of reasonable doubt from Judge [William] Sullivan's instruction."
"But he had the hardest time getting over the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children," she explained.
What a monster.
Meanwhile, the she-maniacs said they disregarded the prosecution's case -- see, women don't have to listen to men, men just have to listen to women -- because the prosecution wasn't "compassionate" enough to the triple child-murderess.

The jurors told the outlet the prosecution didn't show enough compassion toward Clancy -- who the jurors learned at trial struggled with crippling insomnia, anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts and thoughts of harming her kids in the four months leading up to the murders.
"I just found it to be harsh -- very, very harsh," one juror said.
"The fact that they had no character witnesses in regards to Lindsay being a bad mother ... I found it to be biased."
The foreperson said all the witnesses and evidence "proved that she loved her children ... so she had to have snapped."
The trio said they found Reddington to be "entertaining," "arrogant," "compassionate" and "funny."
"His compassion for Lindsay was amazing," one of the women said.
So, just like the highly-invested Lindsay Clancy cultists outside the court, these women feel that the Real Victim Here wasn't the three children murdered in the basement, terrified and confused about why their mother is strangling them, but the housewife these soap opera addicts obviously identified with and projected themselves on to.
You will not be surprised to learn that there were "strong personalities" in the jury room -- which I take to mean Alpha Karens who badgered and berated and shamed the other jurors into letting a child killer go free.

The panel of nine women and three men deadlocked after splitting 11-1, but one woman, identified as Juror No. 5, told local media that the holdout at the end of deliberations wasn't the only one who initially thought Clancy was guilty.
"The stand-alone juror was not the only one that was unwilling to see things from the other side, so I'm going to kind of defend that individual in a sense," she told the Boston-based WBZ-TV. "There were some big personalities in that room, but at the end of the day, it just came down to an inability to move past your convictions."
She, too, was originally in favor of a guilty verdict, she told the outlet.
"And maybe I still believe that in a certain way," she added. "I think that this is a woman who was not mentally healthy."

See? The Alpha Karens pressured her.
It gets worse. The "nurses on the jury" demanded the male (spit) holdout take the claims of other jurors as evidence and make his decision based upon this non-evidence.
See, there were "nurses on the jury" and their stupid uneducated opinions overrule the actual psychiatric expert who testified that Lindsay Clancy was lying about "hearing voices."

They called him "arrogant" and accused him of disregarding information from "nurses on the jury."
See, the (spit) man was arrogant. The "nurses on the jury" offering their lay opinions as expert testimony weren't arrogant. They were giving expert testimony.
Aren't all women experts, when you think about it? They have Lived Experience.

I don't know what's going to happen, guys. I don't know how we survive one-third of women now being viciously insane.
If they have a retrial -- no teachers, no "nurses on the jury." And strike as many women as possible.

I’ve watched this probably 100 times at this point.

This one quote by this one juror is radicalizing me in ways I didn’t know were even possible:

“He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously k*lled her children…”

I don’t know where we go from here… pic.twitter.com/965EJBOLb8

I think it was more that the prosecution relied on females on the jury having sympathy. This was almost OJ Simpson redux with Identity crap. Prosecutors in that case thought black women would sympathize with another woman over the guy. They sided with the black part more than the woman part.

In this case, I suspect but do not know, the prosecution thought allowing female caring professionals, aka teachers and nurses on the jury would be able to consider the murders of the vulnerable. Instead, they went with their professional and political identity.

But I have no idea about the entire jury pool nor those that were stricken.

56 Saw a lawyer online explain this. This is Mad-sachusetts, the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was not undergoing psychosis.

So the "more likely" standard should not be applied. It would be fairly "reasonable" to let her go because the "Devil made her do it" in Mad-sachusetts.

Because it makes you "not guilty", without the proof of mens rea in this fucking state.

She had already provided the case that she was the physical agent, however in this blew state, that's not enough.

Totally stupid, but it would be Mass-reasonable to acquit Clancy if you thought that she might be psychotic (and who wouldn't?!!) while stalking and strangling her children, then cutting herself and jumping out a window.

Four upstate New York children who were poisoned and killed by their mother and grandmother had an allergy medication that induces drowsiness and kratom in their systems, according to a new report.
The disturbing details into the horrific June murder-suicide in Mechanicsville were revealed in a toxicology report, sources told NewsChannel 13.

The four children were allegedly killed by their mother Sarah Myers, 44, and their grandmother Amy Steadman, 64, who then took their own lives, authorities said.

Social media can lead to extremism because the mechanism is one way--notice there are likes and followers but not the negative incentives like being told off and derated other than the vague no longer followed or the mute on X. That is because the social media companies want their audience hooked on affirmations.

That leads to a society of moonbattery with endless purity spirals to be the one true representative of womanhood, law, politics, etc. Especially because it is apparently devoid of real world consequences for words and videos until they occur IRL. Too many people want fame and are willing to put their consciences aside to achieve it.

112 Then, when a man has the temerity to say, 'yeah, GTFO of here with that noise,' she's now - according to these same women - a victim of patriarchal violence.

"But where have all the good men gone?!"

Related to this, I saw on X yesterday that some guys did an experiment. They set up two identical dating profiles, photos of the same guy, same height/weight listed, but one had a steady job and one was unemployed. The unemployed one got more than 3 times as much female interest.

So apparently the advice to young men now is to be an unemployed minotaur (also "Unemployed Minotaurs" would be a good band name).

128 The world has changed. I served on a jury once, for a trial of a young cop accused of rape. A new father, he was involved in a flirting relationship with another woman who lived in his apartment house. She started it and pursued his attentions. He eventually had sex with her and her father then decided it must have been rape, forced his daughter to file a police report, and the trial ensued.

I was one of two men on the jury. The women on the jury totally blamed the girl for the whole mess. They drove a Not Guilty verdict, and would probably have thrown the book at the accuser for filing a false police report, if that had been on offer.

I doubt the verdict would be the same one today.

Four upstate New York children who were poisoned and killed by their mother and grandmother had an allergy medication that induces drowsiness and kratom in their systems, according to a new report.
The disturbing details into the horrific June murder-suicide in Mechanicsville were revealed in a toxicology report, sources told NewsChannel 13.

The four children were allegedly killed by their mother Sarah Myers, 44, and their grandmother Amy Steadman, 64, who then took their own lives, authorities said.

No, it is a natural consequence flowing from abortion up to crowning, assisted suicide, juvenile gender transitioning, and other horrific modern inventions. Culture of death caused in part by the excessive worry of the types like Bill Gates that want the world to carry only about one tenth of the current population.

Those assholes on top never think of killing themselves for Gaia, they want what they consider the peasant class to be neutered by hormones, delayed marriage, and gender transitions, assisted suicided, killed by vile medical concoctions like the vaxx, and abortions on demand.

133 That one juror is going to become right wing hero... hopefully for just 15 minutes.

Why would this be a left vs right-wing issue?

Daily Mail: Now FOURTH Lindsay Clancy juror makes extraordinary admission after deliberations swayed her vote: 'I thought she was guilty...maybe I still do."

She said her initial stance was to convict Clancy - and despite eventually voting to acquit the killer mother, the juror admitted she 'maybe still believes' Clancy should go to prison.

Thinking shes guilty, but having reasonable doubt, is the whole point of the system. There's no contradiction to thinking someone is probably guilty but believing theres a reasonable chance otherwise and therefore the State failed its burden.

Yeah, but if your "reasonable doubt" only came after hours and hours of pushing by someone else, then it may not have been reasonable.

If I spend hours and hours badgering a woman to sleep with me, her saying "yes" isn't consent.

It’s fascinating how the dumbest Americans are so taken by sensational court trials. I would not want to be judged by a jury of my peers. A large percentage of the population are dumb as fuck.

174 If you're a prosecutor in pretty much any criminal case, or defending a corporation in pretty much any civil case, you'd be a fool not to strike nurses from the jury if you have enough peremptory strikes and challenges for cause to do so (and don't have bigger problems in the jury pool).

Nursing isn't what it once was, and with nurses (especially under 50) you're largely dealing with real dunces. Women's lib and beyond has been accompanied by a real brain drain in the helping professions. I've met a lot of very dumb, very dysfunctional nurses. Enough that it doesn't seem like coincidence any more.

Always true? Of course not. But jury selection is always fraught with uncertainty. And I wouldn't want to gamble on nurses at this point.

People refused to even acknowledge that they were on her side when the truth came out. It's like they seemed to completely forgot anything even happened and soon they just completely avoided me.

She completely screwed up when she got blackout drunk one afternoon and called the wife of one of my friends crying and slurring her words when she said she made the whole thing up and now she was mad because my 12 YO son wouldn't talk to her anymore.

The wife called the DAs office and told him but my former wife denied making the phone call and then it was a pure catfight.

What a mess. I still had to go to court even though the DA dropped the charges at the first hearing when my wife showed up with alcohol on her breath.

Women's opportunities used to be limited by societal norms and expectations. So women who today become lawyers would once have been relegated to being paralegals. Same for doctors and nurses, professors and teachers. On the negative side, there probably were a lot of frustrated women out there. On the positive side, these less prestigious, less well-paid professions were teeming with really bright, really capable women. That's not true anymore, or not true to anywhere near the same extent.

This. 100x this. Staging outrageous ragebait is the easiest and laziest way to troll for views, likes, attention, and in many cases revenue.

The process tends to produce crazier and crazier takes, because what's outrageous on Monday is cliche by Wednesday.

In many of the supposedly organic, spontaneous ragebaits, you can see obvious signs of camera placement, ring lights, and even "cuts" between multiple angles.

Probably not. The DA could have always just done a plea with the person being committed to mental health treatment at the get go. But I think the prosecution may not have used the jury consultants, mock trials, etc. that perhaps the defense did. Lindsay's legal defense fund raised one million bucks so far and that pays for a lot of defense plus whatever the ex husband may or may not have kicked in.

On a more general note I will never understand this. Women know dudes like long hair, with rare exception. Then they go get it hacked off and freak the fuck out when the dude in their life doesn't like it. I had this experience way back when with my ex. She had long hair, out of nowhere got it cut short, had this look on her face like she was proud of something, and asked me if I liked it. I answered honestly that I did not.

Strong personalities on a jury can sway the weaker members who just want to go home. Whether for prosecution or for the defense. I think the gang of three Karens were likely girl bossing the jury from their own media statements from what went on. One guy did not submit.

But, I also think the relaxed standard of Mass law permitted the Karens to do their damage. By showing prior treatment for mental illness, the defense met its rather low burden to indicate mental illness was a possibility. That then meant the burden of proof flipped and the prosecution had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was sane. That McHoul std which came from the Model Code abomination in this case, is not the traditional M'Naughten std where the defendant bears the burden of proof as an affirmative defense.

Marxism, with its elaborations, is one of the dumber sources for your worldview.

It's automatically going to select for people who buy in to schools that have enough details to seem erudite, but to deceive the marginal by the volume of that detail. Hence, we have academics spewing out volumes of Marxish worldview elaboration.

This was an obviously terrible strategy, and I have no idea why it was chosen. I can only speculate that the prosecution was so afraid of criticizing her -- worrying that the jury would see her as sympathetic -- that he went all the way to praise.

Made it easier for the defense to argue that the murders were out of character. Husband's testimony did not help the prosecution either.

But, I do think the prosecution might be able to improve on their case while the defense is kind of stuck to what happened in the first trial. That is, if there is not some plea entertained. I also think over time the public mood is going to shift on Lindsay due the batshit crazy actions of those copycats and the evil statements that Lindsay's supporters have placed on social media.

Public mood of heroes and goats is a fickle thing.

Strippers have more ethics than the prosecution here. Look at all the shit he did, near-doxxing the jurors.
He's got a client to defend; I get it. John Adams defended (successfully) some soldiers he didn't want to. But you don't taint the pool. He went so far as to make his own appeal around the Judge's head (and got his pee pee whacked by MA Supremes).

330 willowed from previous thread:
203 There are laws in many municipalities in which a property owner with a pool that is not properly fenced in is held liable if a child drowns in the pool.

Seems like the same argument applies to data aggregators. The data is an "attractive nuisance" to hackers but the harm is caused to the people whose data is hacked. Still, the data aggregator should have to prove they maintained an adequate fence around the data. Perhaps civil forfeiture could apply here too.
Posted by: George V at September 09, 2026 12:20 PM (g6ahB)
======
This is the precise legal strategy to pursue, IMHO. The elements are identical: the pool/trove of data are the attractive nuisance, the kid/hacker are not supposed to be there, yet the law punishes the owner of the former and does nothing to the later. This needs to change. Negligence in protecting the data is negligence -period. Hackers will always attempt to gain access to the biggest data pile - this is known, or should be known to all the data center/AI interests, therefore failure to put in place adequate protective measures amounts to gross negligence and should be punished as such.

385 Here's a recap of Joos at Harvard:

1920s (The Quota Era): In 1922, Jewish enrollment reached 21.5%.

It may be time to have a serious conversation about professional jurors.

Listening to the three female boomers from the Lindsay Clancy jury explain their reasoning after the mistrial is disturbing, not because they reached a conclusion I disagree with, but because of how they say they got there.

“She loved her children, so she had to have snapped.”
“There were no witnesses saying Lindsay was a bad mother.”
“The prosecution didn’t show enough compassion.”
The prosecution was “harsh.”
Reddington was “funny” and “entertaining.”

None of that is the legal standard they were instructed to apply.

Nobody disputed that Lindsay loved her children or that she suffered from mental illness. Nobody was asking the jury to decide if she was a good mother, whether the prosecutors were compassionate enough, or which lawyer they enjoyed watching more.

The question was criminal responsibility: Did her mental illness leave her unable to appreciate the wrongfulness of her conduct or conform her conduct to the requirements of law?

1920s (The Quota Era): In 1922, Jewish enrollment reached 21.5%. In response, Harvard President Abbott Lawrence Lowell introduced a holistic admissions system and legacy preferences specifically designed to cap Jewish enrollment. By the late 1920s and 1930s, these unofficial quotas successfully forced the Jewish student population down to about 10% to 15%.

1940s–1950s (Post-WWII Recovery): Following World War II and the gradual dismantling of overt quotas, academic standards became more strictly merit-based. Jewish enrollment began to climb back, reaching 21% by the early 1960s.

1960s–1990s (The Peak Era): For much of the latter half of the 20th century, Jewish students maintained a robust and consistent presence at Harvard, hovering between 20% and 25% of the undergraduate student body.

Leftists in particular tend to view ALL relationships as "transactionary."

Including relationships with their spouses and yes, even their own children.

It's never about loving someone unconditionally, it's ALWAYS about what the other party can do for them.

If a spouse stands in their way, divorce.

Now, if children stand in their way, murder.

Wealthy defendants have an advantage in that they can hire all sorts of experts before the trial even commences. Poor sobs facing a criminal trial may have an excellent attorney but no money to independently pay for their own experts. That leaves the defense in the position of picking enough holes in the prosecution case to get reasonable doubt.

Where this may affect most of the audience here is in self defense cases. Imagine this jury judging a self defense case like Karmelo Anthony stabbing that guy for example.

440 They shrieked, too, that "the pills" were responsible. Either too much (based on the bag of Rx waved around by the defense), or "not enough and too late for care plus elephantiasis."
(ok, I made the last one up as I am not sleeping well).

She ground up pills from her doctor shopping and took a swig or something in the frenzy of blood letting (her own). She manipulated her husband again in his claims she was compliant with meds. "Yes I took my pills today, Patrick, you assho." She sounds like a ton of work to keep everyone miserable.

The trouble with blaming "the pills" is that her tox screen showed minimal amounts. Not enough to OD, not enough to make her go crazy and murder children, and not therapeutic for her mental illness. So that ploy failed along with others to end herself.

Tox screens, by the way, are part of a Trauma Panel bloodwork. Standard care.

I guess it would take a security camera to convince the harpies-who-hate-men she killed them with her exercise bands. After researching "ways to kill." She apparently wore gloves as none of her DNA was on the bands? So I read in confusion. I'm a Gemini murderer and know things.

I do firmly believe in post partum depression, and it's nothing new. Many cultures throughout history have had customs grow up around it. It was often blamed on demons, but there cultural norms all over the world where people stay with a woman a certain amount of days after childbirth. And people think it's to help the mom, and it is that, too, but it is also so mama ain't alone with her jacked up hormones and a defenseless baby.

On top of everything I can't believe they allowed nurses on the jury! That could go either way of people questioning her tox screen, her manipulation, and her pathetic attempt to suicide herself.

When I was in voir dire they asked our professions (perp was a real estate tycoon who ripped off banks). I was a RN and not in real estate nor banking or the financial world and the prosecution lawyer liked me for some reason.

Nurses should not have been allowed. Granted, if they were "normal" like me, maybe, but I really thought from this experience they tried for a neutral jury vs stacking the deck.

445 I still say it only matters if somehow, in 30 years, she can claim she is mentally competent and let her out because she was declared not guilty by reason of insanity. Does it create a precedent? Sure, but until we see a rash of these cases with the mother getting off it could just be a one-time, OJ like instance of jury nullification.

If she goes to prison for life or a psychiatric facility for life it could be splitting hairs, though I'm sure prison would be a lot less comfortable.

Now, the fact that she seems to have innumerable supporters is an entirely separate --and sick-- issue.
Posted by: Lex at September 09, 2026 01:37 PM (+ScOG)

It's not a precedent because it has been done before and the mother killed again.

I don't think she had any such thing, but even if she did, it still doesn't mean she gets to kill her children and go Scot free.

If she's claiming she was crazy, she gets to go to the nuthouse instead of prison. I'd be okay with that.

Again, I think it wad murder, but of she wants to play tbe crazy card, then she has to get the crazy prize.

456 One of the obvious parallels is with Andrea Yates. Ms. Yates looked haunted. One look at her face and eyes, and this was a woman who obviously needed mental or emotional help. She had been reaching out for weeks or months before snapping.

By contrast, Ms. Clancy just looks hard. Her eyes are chips of obsidian. She looks like someone who planned this, and indeed her search history reportedly included ways to kill your children. The amount of planning that went into killing her children makes it hard for me to accept an insanity plea.

And what was going on with the jurors (supposedly unbiased) dressing to show support for the defendant? The defense counsel wanted the holdout juror removed for bias while the jurors who wanted to acquit were literally wearing their bias.

Posted by: Advo at September 09, 2026 02:12 PM (jO4mz)

457 The prosecution should probably take all this under advisement. Whoever they're going to call as an expert psychiatrist to say she wasn't "insane" should probably be a woman, first off.

Second, they should absolutely work harder to push towards more men on the jury, regardless of what their opinions seem to be.

459 My perspective, for what it is worth on the state of nursing students today...
********
Some people say the profession attracts abusers it's that bad.

This contradicts most of my experiences with nurses, but fwiw.
Posted by: Blonde Morticia at September 09, 2026 12:39 PM (XJ22o)
*****
The profession attracts a tiny number of people who want to be nurses now vs when I graduated in '78. All of us wanted to be a nurse, some since childhood.

I was a clinical professor for nurses in the med center for 4yrs in the late '90's. Many wanted more money from being a LPN or EMT. Their focus was different. I pounded myself into 40 of them and their focus changed, or seemed to.

One year before graduation a class did not know how to give injections. I was outraged and took them to a flu clinic as I was not going to graduate nitwits. Now there are teaching mannequins, and yehaw. Still different from real people.

Then we have online nursing degrees: BSN and MSN. Some clinical practice, but I doubt as much as I had from my first semester. It matters.

Adding that it is difficult to fail students to the soup vs my class. We had to have white shoelaces, for heaven's sake! Pressed uniforms! cont.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at September 09, 2026 02:49 PM (hzuYO)

460 Cont...My acceptance to a very difficult nursing school at a univsersity (I was accepted at two) was based not only on my GPA (which was high), but also on my interview.

At the time they had 400 applicants to one person allowed. We were in groups & I was in the summer group. Graduated this way due to how many instructors could have.

Now the online nursing schools nation wide due to shortage. I know two classmates who were big guns for two of these schools churning numbers out. I don't have the nerve to question the quality of graduates. To a BSN program there are still less accepted than apply.

We had standards in dress, decorum & test scores to adhere to. If an instructor thought you did not fit the bill you were out. In this way they weeded out the problems. When I was teaching it took me & two full time instructors to fail anyone.

The one I helped fail showed up 2hrs late to a pediatric rotation. Falalala she walked past me. I asked her into the nursing lounge, informed her she did not call me or the floor that she'd be late, & if a real nurse her patients & staff would suffer. I sent her home. I informed the director and a full time RN worked with her and agreed. Done.

Wednesday Morning Rant

Reservoirs
The risks associated with so-called "Big Data" - or AI, or data aggregation, or anything in that vein - are known to a point. The obvious risk - and the one most people immediately cite - is identity theft and the corresponding fraud potential associated with it. Because of this obvious risk, the response is the same every time there is a data breach: the company at the center of the breach offers to pay for credit monitoring for some amount of time. Another major risk, especially popular these days as the Flock camera argument heats up, is panopticism. These data collection services have created an electronic panopticon in which no man has privacy.
These risks are real, and they are made all the worse due to a pair of conditions: data aggregators are juicy targets, and aggregators and governments have no significant incentive to defend sensitive data. The first is obvious. These data are valuable, so the aggregators are constantly targeted for theft. As to the second, the regulatory and legal environment provides essentially no penalties for data breaches - neither for private enterprises, nor for governments. In the unusual circumstance where an actual hacker gets caught, he will be punished - but that is the point. The hacker is the one with major liability, not the organization doing the collection, retention and defense of valuable data. To the organization, there's no problem outside of a press release, some technology costs and bulk-rate credit monitoring if there's a breach. If it's particularly bad, there may be a symbolic slap-on-the-wrist regulatory penalty.

This absence of liability causes a lot of perverse incentives. When there is no meaningful downside to data collection, data collection will expand - and that is what has happened. Some laws like the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) have a "data minimization" requirement (collect and retain only what you actually need to do your work), but such requirements are very difficult to police effectively. Extensive "everything we can get" data collection is now the norm, and risks are increasing radically. Any target is increasingly a juicy target, because the amount of data collection is always growing.
Recently, a major breach was disclosed through it's effects, as more than 153 million US driver licenses were made available for purchase. The source of this was likely one or more services providing ID verification through ID scanning. More disclosure keeps happening around the extent of data collection, from smart TVs to government surveillance through third parties, which follows increasingly-invasive data collection schemes implemented for years in other industries like telecom.
All of this data collection creates vast reservoirs of personal data, ranging from trivial to extremely dangerous, and none of it is - or possibly even can be effectively defended. Despite this, there's little downside for the organizations doing the collection. The deeper these reservoirs get, the more appealing a target the organization will be - but the organizational risks are more or less static and do not scale with the collection. All of this leads to one basic conclusion for any organization in the data-collection business: collect more.
Flock camera databases are creepy and many have serious and reasonable concerns with the constitutional legitimacy of the system, but the dystopian government panopticon is only one issue. The other is that such services are deep reservoirs, and thus valuable targets. When Flock inevitably gets hacked and vehicle, movement and other personal data are stolen and used by criminals or nation-state adversaries, Flock will not collapse under the liability. They will simply issue an apologetic press release that downplays the event, fire a VP, spend some money on security consultants and put up with some ribbing by peers at conferences. Substitute any organization name you'd like for "Flock," because it is only an example. It always plays out the same way.
Until liability is extended from the hacker to the collector or aggregator, I think that this problem will only get worse. To disincentivize arbitrary data collection and the "more, More, MORE" approach to data collection, there must be real and meaningful costs to screwing up and permitting breaches. Slaps on the wrist and temporary spikes in operational costs that can be written off as the cost of doing business are not adequate. The closest thing there is to hard liability for data breaches is HIPAA, which has civil and criminal penalties for inappropriate disclosure. Something similar may be called for more generally, so that failure to defend collected data results in meaningful - up to the point of destroying enterprise in extreme cases - liability exposure.
The deeper and broader the data reservoirs get, the more the disclosure problem will grow. A good approach to dealing with the problem may not necessarily be to limit the collection as the GDPR attempts to do - there are limitless potential uses or requirements for data to deliver whatever service is being delivered, and enforcement is extremely difficult - but to strictly and meaningfully punish inappropriate disclosure. If there is real liability, the collectors and aggregators will think twice about what they actually need - and the amount of risk they're comfortable with - when it comes to data collection, retention and access. The best way to improve overall security is to reduce the attack surface, and that means draining the reservoirs - and liability may be a good way to do it.
What do you think?

Because we've had this happen again and again and again with businesses and our credit card information and health data.

Flock is not new, it's simply a new dimension of what has been happening for a few decades now.
Instinctively we know that the purported uses of this data by law enforcement will only be a tiny part of what it is actually used for.

I think the liability you're talking about - enough to actually impact decision making - is impossible.

Even if SpyCo (a made up example) pay out a billion-dollar settlement, it's STILL worth it because of the thousands of companies who continue to flood SpyCo's coffers in exchange for the data they've aggregated.

There is value in information, and as we become increasingly Balkanized, purchasing the ability to micro-target consumers is becoming increasingly valuable in parallel.

The genie's out of the bottle. It's nearly impossible to be the Grey Man, and the ones who attempt it will find themselves further and further removed from the things that make society society.

To stay completely off the radar today, you must currently eschew cell phones, televisions, cars, banks, computers, and grocery stores, just for starters.

. . .it means that the administration is able to draw a graph (like a network chart) of who is talking to whom. It is able to say what are the key nodes through which any business passes, find all its Internet ‘friends’ and interlocutors and potentially drill down into the comms themselves — in time series.
This would pick up every organization of significance, whatever its purpose. Medical associations, pedophile rings, prayer groups, Tea Party groups, lesbian sororities, gay date swapping groups, business networks, professional networks, spy rings and terrorist cells. The works. It picks up the civilians more easily than the players, because the players use encryption, buy untraceable clothes and while disguised send one time messages via disposable or public devices.

The civilians don’t.

There will be so many victims that even a big fine or payout will be spread among so many people that each victim will end up with jack bupkis. The lawyers will make out like bandits, though.

IDK. That settlement is only for that one event. If SpyCo continues to be sloppy, they'll end up paying multiple billion dollar awards.

The practical problem right now is that it's tough to prove concrete damage. Even a simple reform like statutory damages (maybe $50/person/event for PI and $250/person/event for SPI), joint-and-severable with the company that collected the PI/SPI, would go a long way.

If it becomes a capital crime to have your IT system hacked, things will very definitely change.

Of course, that makes IT companies the most powerful organizations in America, which seems to be the opposite of what we're going for here... They'd decide who does and doesn't get breached. Get sideways with the Biden Administration and suddenly your client's data is 'hacked.' Whoops. Whoopsie!

The fine needs to be massive enough to instantly bankrupt the offender and put them into public receivership. That will be the only to incentivize others to avoid doing the same.

And yes, if it’s a billion dollar company, then the fine should be $10 billion, payable immediately.

Without AI, as is so often said, there is safety is massive data collection; it is only useful as an investigative tool when a user knows what to look for, because there is so much information and almost all of it is deliberately ignored and excluded in a search.

With AI, everything can be examined in real time. Nothing is excluded or ignored. AI notes patterns too subtle for humans to note, watches everyone, and is only limited by the tools at it's disposal. Give it panopticon, and everyone is watched all the time. Give it law enforcement connections, and anyone can be found and arrested immediately. Give it weapons, and anyone can be killed.

This followed the month of August where Hillary "campaigned" by doing a campaign rally a week, with lots and lots of celebrities present, to minimize the amount of time Hillary actually had to be on stage.

Her only other "campaign" activity in August was doing fundraisers in the Hamptons, where she briefly basked in the adoring looks of her fans, before being taken back to her Hamptons' house.

She was clearly in bad physical shape.

The Aug. 25 incident unfolded while several guardsmen were taking a break from patrol inside a black van, according to court documents cited by ABC News on Tuesday.

Zion Mitchell and another Guard member began arguing over their hair when Mitchell allegedly told her, “I would slap the Jackson 5 out of you,” according to the affidavit.

The pair continued trading words until the woman told Mitchell to “shut the f**k up.” She then heard what she described as a “holster click,” followed by another guardsman in the van saying, “Put that up. You almost shot me in the hand.”

Not surprisingly, they don’t mention any details about those involved.

It's funny.

The enviro-Left put on its kneepads for the tech-Left money men who buttered their bread for so long, and gave up their anti-electricity agenda, particularly their anti-nuclear agenda.

Soon enough, the AI bubble that fueled the tech-Left's bridling of their enviro-Left whores will burst. Their immediate need for nuclear power will recede, but the regulatory rollback will remain, and the nuclear energy will be enjoyed by us - the reviled hoi-polloi.

203 There are laws in many municipalities in which a property owner with a pool that is not properly fenced in is held liable if a child drowns in the pool.

Seems like the same argument applies to data aggregators. The data is an "attractive nuisance" to hackers but the harm is caused to the people whose data is hacked. Still, the data aggregator should have to prove they maintained an adequate fence around the data. Perhaps civil forfeiture could apply here too.

205 All of them do it, if equipped. And some people are finding GPS transceivers in "base" model cars/suvs/trucks that are not equipped with a navigation system or satellite radio.

The manufacturers can use the telemetry, but so can your insurance company, the bank if there's a loan, etc.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at September 09, 2026 11:59 AM (2Cry5)

What do you mean by "GPS transceiver"? The GPS satellites are not able to receive signals from the ground. I would assume any spy device placed in an auto would use the cell network to call home.

I see a market for "cell sniffers". Hand-held scanner/signal strength meter that can be used like a Geiger counters to zero in on a suspected rogue cellular comms device.

206 When Flock inevitably gets hacked

According to definitions in use in cybersecurity (such as COMPTIA's Security+ and US government "Insider Threat" training, they already have. All of those cops and others stalking their exes? Yeah, that's "hacking." You need to send those people to jail rather than fire them. Start there. (And with stopping the aggregation and holding of the data.)

207 >HIPAA

I've worked for both US and Canadian fintechs and healthtechs (the province of Alberta has the strictest medical data privacy laws in North America) and the penalties there do not affect their behaviour in the slightest. I've watched healthtechs keep copies of former customer databases "just in case", bribe auditors and worse. I've watched fintechs rehearse for their audits while being criminally sloppy with customer bank information the rest of the year.

All of these acts would have been existential threats to the business had they ever been detected, but nobody - including the auditors - cared.

So stricter data privacy laws won't do it. Severer penalties won't do it. Better enforcement and mild criminal penalties *might*.

208 Liquor stores attached to general stores often insist on scanning drivers licenses to buy liquor. Target is one. They were famously hacked years ago. Hackers took over the credit card scanners and got everything.

It doesn't matter if they claim to only record a name and birthdate. Hackers will grab the picture of the entire card directly from the scanner and get your entire ID.

I don't buy from any scanner happy stores.

1a. Abortion

They've just changed the game to include babies. Because they're selfish twats that think their lives are infinitely more important than everything else.

63 Lovely scene and painting. One of her more realistic works with almost no Impressionistic aspects. Everything is bright and light: the clothes and bed linen and cup. That makes the very natural skin tones really stand out, framed against the white items. This is one of the most realistic works by Cassatt I've seen.

What makes the painting so effective are the poses and facial expressions. The child is focused entirely on the breakfast. The mother, even though still waking up, is entirely focused on the child, holding the kid secure and watching the reactions of innocence. It is a very intimate, positive image.

100 Never knew what this picture was, but a torn copy of it is on my kitchen cabinet door, given to my wife Mothers Day 2010. We had been having a rough spot after my losing my job of nearly thirty years, and her being a bit worried about our future. Approaching our empty nest days. Had just gotten back from a three week driving get away, and things were really looking up, and I had just found new employment.
A month and a half later she woke up dead.
The picture is still on the cabinet, I see it every day. It still makes me smile, the kid looks like our first, and the woman is reminiscent of my wife.

We watched the 5th Season of "Fauda' on Netflix.

For those, unfamiliar with the series, it deals with an Israeli anti-terrorist squad.

This season deals with Oct 7th and it's aftermath as well as trying to prevent a new "Oct 7th'.

It's very well done. Very well written and acted. Directed crisply.

I highly recommend watching it.

The lovely and delightful Mrs naturalfake was so caught up in it that we had to stream the whole series in one night.

The problem with most of this stat reckoning to my mind is a couple things:

How do you define 'killed'? Shot in the head? Beaten to death with clubs? Gassed? When you start getting into starved, displaced into internal exile and left to fend for themselves, etc it starts to get a lot muddier.

Germans being germans, most were direct killing. And meticulously chronicled.

Now the Soviets and the Chinese did all of that, but they also had a LOT of people who were either starved to death through collectivization or exposure to the elements. That one island where Stalin dropped off thousands of prisoners with no structures or shelter and just gave them building materials. They did not exactly kill them, but they killed them.

That is what is so funny about the CHAZ. Them trying to farm? THAT was collectivization in the soviet union, except on a grand scale and they could not dip out of the area to get some food from a 7-11. Holodomor as both planned and unplanned.

Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at September 09, 2026 10:46 AM (ccf/V)

It’s not new, right at the time Egypt said that their intelligence service informed both Israel and the US that their contacts had heard that something was up, that some kind of attack was planned. BUT it wasn’t very specific, other than being some kind of attack, and both the Israelis and the US pretty much blew it off as same old thing as ever.

I think the greater fault was why the IDF took almost 12 hours to respond. There’s never been any big public examination of how that happened, and I suspect it’s because everyone on all sides in Israel made so many mistakes that they all agreed to just let it lay.

191 Dryer lint traps catch most, though not all. Over time it builds up in the ductwork. Real fire hazard, it is not adviseable to dry laundry and then drive away from home to go shopping, say, generally speaking.

Take the ductwork apart and clean it out. Our vintage Kenmore or whatever it was, from 1977 was still going strong a couple years ago when I sold it. I did open up the plenum and intake and such and clean that out at one point. It had a nice exhaust note after that. Job well done!

No digital crap, no wi-fi, no LCDs to hork. It had a mechanical bell, to let you know when stuff was just dry enough.

The Morning Report — 9/ 9 /26

Good morning kids. Let's take a jump across the pond to see what's happening in the all but vanished formerly Great Britain which, unless something drastic happens will be subsumed and transmogrified into a third world Islamic hellhole where Westminster Abbey will be converted into the next Hagia Sofia. Maybe something is happening?

Evidently there is a contingent of unknown numbers of Brits who are willing to take a stand and do whatever they can to prevent or at least forestall that nightmare from becoming reality. Of course the reason this is happening in the first place is because Britain's primarily Socialist/eftist governments that have had a stranglehold on the nation since the end of Wold War Two. that and the meat grinder of that and the previous "war to end all wars" destroyed at least two generations of British males and with it much of the civilization it was the epicenter of for well over a millennium. And so, here they are, and we are not far behind.

If these latest protests tell us anything, it’s that the British government can no longer control and redirect public opinion on immigration as it would ideally like to; the narrative is no longer the government’s to shape, and a boundary has been passed. The scale of the disaster facing Britain, the constant parade of atrocities—the murders, the rapes, and the sexual assaults—the communities living in terror, and the widespread realization that the country is changing beyond all recognition and without the consent of the British people mean the government simply cannot keep a lid on popular feeling. Not anymore. “Controlled spontaneity” was created to manage isolated incidents, not a permanent state of outrage. For decades, it was impossible to talk publicly about immigration in Britain without being labeled a “racist” and being made subject to various forms of social, legal, and extra-legal punishment. The omerta on immigration was enforced by a broader system of what Sam Francis called “anarcho-tyranny,” but we Brits call it “two-tier policing” or “two-tier government.” It’s a species of divide and conquer that’s as old as Aristotle’s Politics (read book V in particular), but it’s taken on a new shape in the hands of successive governments that seem hell-bent, whether left or “right,” on replacing their own native citizens with transplants from the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Daniel Thomas has promised further demonstrations. A few days before his “army of patriots” arrived in Dover, he told them they were “going to send a message.” —things are about to get very interesting.
Interesting indeed! And so, here they are, and we here in the increasingly Dis-united States are not far behind.

Nothing says "workers of the world, unite" quite like gathering at a Chicago Hyatt to discuss revolution while actual hotel workers picket outside. . . Ware, an associate professor of history at UC Santa Barbara and former Green Party write-in candidate for California governor, told attendees Democrats "cannot be reasoned with" and "must be destroyed." He warned that America was approaching "gunfights" and "war in the streets." Those aren't phrases requiring a decoder ring. . . Talking about Americans shooting one another in the streets deserves a different response. Ware is free to believe the revolution hasn't gone far enough. The rest of us are free to hear exactly what he's saying.
Assassination attempts on President Trump Supreme court Justices and successful politically motivated murders against Charlie Kirk and UHC executive Brian Hutchinson as well as riots that burned out and destroyed numerous American cities in 2020 and afterwards cheered on by allegedly responsible political leaders of the Democrat Party.

But the mockery isn’t limited to Georgetown University’s student body. Islamic Marxist Hasan Piker recently led a live audience in mocking the “We Are Charlie Kirk” song. This is from the same man who has fantasized about murder and streets soaked in “capitalist blood.” And in the more immediate aftermath of Kirk’s death, Syracuse professors celebrated the assassination, with one saying Kirk could “rest in p-ss.” The demonic reactions could be found in the left-wing corners of the web, such as BlueSky, where leftists also cheered Kirk’s murder. Taken together, these examples (and the countless others of celebration, mockery, and revelry) show that these were not anonymous, one-off ghoulish celebrations. There is a large and loud part of the left that has little problem with Kirk’s murder — whether in the immediate aftermath or nearer to the one-year anniversary.
They want us dead and want to erase our history, heritage, memory and everything we and our ancestors have striven for since 1776 and in reality for the last several thousand years of civilizational advancement.
They're positively "Islamic" which is why they're tied at the hip with them. How appropriate as the 25th anniversary of 9/11 is but a scant two days away.

Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's speech at a controversial Islamic convention in Detroit this weekend was sandwiched between a video montage featuring a firebrand imam declaring that "America is going down" and a speech from another cleric who said members of Congress who voted for an antisemitism bill were "guilty of treason."
The embarrassing spectacle on Saturday underscored the awkwardness of El-Sayed participating in a conference featuring a rogues' gallery of Islamic extremists including 9/11 truthers and a Holocaust-denier. . . Shakir, who in a discussion on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 stated that he was "extremely anti-American," has also called for Muslims to use "guerrilla warfare" to achieve their desired political outcomes.
And he sounds like a typical Democrat!
On all these cheerful notes, I bid you to...
Have a good day.

The Modi government has for the past six years been pushing to encourage an independent competing private sector, while applying strong pressure on ISRO to transfer much of its rocket industry to that sector. In 2020 it created IN-SPACe, a government agency expressly tasked with making that shift happen. As part of this shift, IN-SPACe forced ISRO to shift the management of both its SSLV rocket and its new spaceport at Kulasekarapattinam to private companies. It is also working to do the same with ISRO’s LVM3 rocket.

30 Instead of using the $1.9 billion to start an old nuclear plant, have the government contract with Elon Musk and Valar Atomics to build a factory producing 5 MW nuclear reactors. With large volume, the reactors would be cheap to produce. By using small reactors widely dispersed, the voltage loss of the grid (close to 45%) would be eliminated. The country would be much safer from attack and natural disaster by having power that would continue after any incident. And, although some will scream "socialism", provide the power free to local utilities and manufacturing to fuel a new era of growth. Just like the interstate highway system, government is there to do what we can't do individually.

Sherrill did not mention Caldwell by name or specifically reference the investigation in her statement.

But what makes this story particularly explosive is that Caldwell is also the secretary of state and the state is in the eye of the storm over an illegal voter scandal and Sherill’s subsequent attempts to cover that up and stonewall federal investigators.

The attack happened on the 500 block of Larkin Street, where police were called at approximately 9:20 a.m., Robert Rueca, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Police Department, told SFGATE. When officers arrived, they saw the dog, which was off a leash, “moving around” the woman, Rueca said. Officers used a catchpole to restrain the dog and separate it from the woman.

I've said in many times. It just takes some combative imagination. Shatter the paradigm of form, of interlocutory respect. Call them out, personally. Go into their lion's dens and call them out to their faces. Alinsky them -- personalize, polarize, make them live up to the standards of their own traditions. When they lie, call them a liar. To their faces. Stop affecting respect, stop conceding their prerogative to interrogate. Interrogate THEM. Question their moral authority. Open up every WH press briefing with a power-point update on their lies for the week. Every single one. Call it that: 'Media lies of the week." Take one story and forensically tear it apart, right in front of the faces, their peers and the entire country. #War.

A day at the beach turned into a wild San Francisco brawl after two men began throwing punches in the sand — with one claiming he was simply walking his dog when the confrontation erupted.

The melee unfolded Tuesday at Crissy Field, on the northern shore of the San Francisco Peninsula, and was caught on video.

124 Hochul, James and more importantly the Democrat legislature has destroyed NY.

Republicans haven’t had a majority in the legislature since the 70’s. They haven’t had a majority in the senate since 2018. For at least the last ten years expenditures have exceeded revenues. They have run a deficit in every one of those years. That’s before we get to abortion up until birth, attacks on the traditional family, sexualization of our schools, purveying homosexuality to children, the highest taxes in the nation, the highest rate of exfil by the residents, the complete abandonment of civil liberties during COVID and the weaponization of the legal system against anyone who opposed them, including people who speak up at PTA meetings.

This is what happens when you put one party in control. You get tyranny.

We have an immigration problem that is probably the hottest flashpoint in our society. We have Aztecs ethnically cleansing black neighborhoods, particularly in the west. We have blacks who riot against whites on a biannual basis. We have Muslims who view the host population as dhimmis and loot it to the tune of billions every year. We have Haitians eating the pets of the people who live here. We have Indians hijacking HR departments and hiring on a racial basis. We have a rainbow of woke folk dictating university admissions on a different racial basis. And through it all, we have a white population growing increasingly more restive about the whole thing.

The thing that saddens me most about that, so far, is the fact that those that are actually calling for Mamdani to NOT attend the memorials are still clinging to the "radical islhamists" meme. No, sir. They are ORTHODOX. They are the TRUE BELIEVERS in islham. All the others are simply the silent backers. All of islham wants to enslave or kill you. No other options.

The sooner we ALL realize that and act accordingly, the better chance of survival we all have.

145 One of the great essays ever on the media was Robert Kaplan's "Media and Medievalism" of about 15 years ago. He summarized exquisitely how the media has arrogated to itself the role of the priestly inquisitors and how we have allowed them to take on this role, as if our very moral existence depended on explaining ourselves to them. They are imposters, liars, garbage people wearing robes of grand bearing and assuming roles they don't come close to deserving.

I'm so sick of hearing our reps go in their shows and mouth groveling greetings, "thank you for having me, George," etc. Thank you for having me?

His wife and son aren't handling it all that well, so the First Lady will likely head down to spend some time with her next week. The son is going through the guilt and anger stage, so not sure if she'll see him or not.

Absolutely. If I were a Republican politician, whose power derives from voters who HATE the media, my press interviews would stop happening real quick. There's no way in a month of Sundays you'd ever hear me say "thanks for having me on, George."

It would be "dial it in, turd burglar. I don't want to be here, it's a major inconvenience, and your questions are beneath my dignity. So let's get this over with as fast as we can, but first... I need you to thank me for gracing this shithole with my presence. Get to thanking. Thank HARD. I need you to sell it, or I'm walking."

175 New Yorker here, Mid Hudson valley. Does Blakeman have a shot? Maybe. My county went far left after 9/11 and DiBlasio and continues to go further left. NYC, parts of Long Island and cities upstate are Dem controlled. They have huge state bureaucracies they have built which is a built in Dem constituency. The number of welfare recipients brings vote dependency for the Dems
I'd love for Blakeman to win, because Hochul is a corrupt gibbering nitwit, but NY is now too corrupt and stupid to save.

I watched / listened to an AI video yesterday about the WWII campaign in Sicily. Its premise was that the Brits, especially Montgomery, thought that Americans were inferior fighters compared to them and so were to be relegated to a supporting role on the left flank for their advance up the east coast to Messina. George Patton said, "Eff that noise" and "I'll show you what mobile fighting can accomplish" and the rest was history.

You do have to use your own common sense about some things. One of the “benefits” of pre-check is that you don’t have to take off your shoes. This has never been true for me. I literally wore slippers one time (with my shoes in my bag for the other side) and they still set off whatever gets set off.

But the lines are shorter and there’s less hassle.

It's pretty revealing. They admit to the murder. That she strangled her terrified kids (the last two in front of the bodies of the others.)

But, in their minds, she is completely not responsible. Or she is, but something else made her do it. That is what is so corrosive about this whole deal. She's an evil monster. Bullet/rope. Done. It's all the people defending her that are so horrifying.

224 But, in their minds, she is completely not responsible. Or she is, but something else made her do it. That is what is so corrosive about this whole deal. She's an evil monster. Bullet/rope. Done. It's all the people defending her that are so horrifying.

What strikes me as odd is for a nurse, someone who had to take at least one class in anatomy, didn't know how to kill herself. Slicing across your wrists doesn't work. You have to slice from wrist to elbow.

And with those voices, if she had just punched her own clock, it would have saved everyone a lot of trouble.

Yeah. Right out of one juror's mouth.

Part of the insidiously evil part of abortion on demand is that it has further created the idea in women's (and men's) heads that pregnancy is a commodity. An accessory. It has depersonalized children to the extent that they are like a handbag. You do not want to spend time and effort on the one that is not perfect for you. That compliments YOU the best.

When you start seeing how... selfish ALL of this is, it becomes even more horrifying.

If Lindsay were a guy? 19 minutes to death row.

John Battaglia killed his two daughters in a case forensic psychologists linked to psychosis stemming from bipolar disorder.

The jury took just 19 minutes to deliberate.

He was executed in Texas in 2018.

The money is appropriated. By law, it must be spent. It. Must. Be. Spent. This isn't up to Trump. They can either send it to parents or to daycares but they must spend it. Must. Get it?

256 I think Trump is like a conservative squirrel. He is trying to figure out a full court press to enact and foster and protect a conservative revolution. This is just an idea he likes. It's not a good one (too many ways to subvert) but the general idea is not horrible. Make it so that someone staying home with the kids is viable these days.

Just make sure she's not an evil bitch.
