Trump's DHS is Knocking on Doors to Ask People About Their Immigration Status and Voter Status as the Left Continues Lying About Its Legions of Illegal Voters
Update: Big Win in Court for Border Enforcement

Tuq'r Qarlson will continue lying about "Trump not doing anything" because, of course, he's a Democrat/Qatari operative.


Federal agents with the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status and if they've registered to vote or voted in past elections.

The operation is part of a broader election-integrity effort to prevent noncitizens from voting ahead of the midterms, CBS News reported.

The Northern California office of Homeland Security Investigations posted photos on X in September showing agents knocking on doors with the comment that "HSI in Northern California will investigate any allegations of noncitizen voting and is committed to ensuring the enforcement of federal election law."

The Kansas City office of HSI also posted photos of its agents knocking on doors with the comment, "AMERICAN ELECTIONS ARE FOR AMERICANS."

The number of home visits increased in September and continued over the past weekend, according to CBS.

The Department of Justice on Monday announced a string of arrests related to alleged voter fraud in California.

...

"These are not isolated instances," another official said, before confirming that the DOJ was reviewing thousands of alleged illegal voting cases across the country.

Charles Schumer and Democrats are suing to keep illegal aliens on the voter rolls.


The Democrats are fighting for the their lives when it comes to battling election integrity efforts. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's efforts to identify and remove suspected noncitizens from state voter-registration lists. The 44-page complaint, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., alleges that the Department of Homeland Security has supplied states with unreliable lists of supposedly ineligible voters and pressured election officials to act on them. The plaintiffs offer Nevada as an example, claiming that federal investigators initially identified approximately 16,000 suspected noncitizen registrants before narrowing the figure to 185, whom Nevada officials subsequently identified as apparent citizens. Democrats claim that the administration's actions threaten eligible voters' rights and interfere with state election administration. Of course.

"None of this is lawful," the complaint reads.

Does it sound bad that the feds claimed 16,000 illegal voters but then reduced that to 185?

It does sound bad. Because it's another lie.

@David_J_Bier

Only 28% of a sample of DHS's bogus list of 20,000 voters that it claimed were "verified" noncitizen voters actually voted. So that's 5,600 out of 5 million California noncitizens. That'd be 0.1% (if they are noncitizens, which they probably aren't based on DHS's record).

The DHS isn't claiming these are all illegal aliens voting illegally. It's notifying the states that these are noncitizens who may or may not be voting. They are asking states to verify if these noncitizens, including legal residents and illegal aliens, are registered to vote or not.

And the blue states are of course refusing to undertake this simple clerical step, because they want the illegal hordes voting for Democrats.


Shipwreckedcrew
@shipwreckedcrew

You've got the numbers wrong. I'm not saying Lee is right -- he's not.

The 20,000 names are ACTUAL Green Card holders with California addresses with USCIS who match names and addresses with registered voters in California's publicly available voter registration list.

DOJ never said they all voted in the past. It only asked California to independently verify their eligibility to register because if they were Green Card holders they are ineligible.

It is not exculpatry to say, as LA County has said, "Only 28% have vote." That's actually a confession.

0000.00% should have voted if they are Green Card holders.

LA County conceded that 60 out of 200 have a voting history.

DOJ/DHS says those 60 are ineligible because they are not citizens.

If a check of 200 noncitizens find that 60 of them illegally voted, that is bad. That tells you the level of illegal voting going on, if blue states bothered enforcing the law.

Which they refuse to do.

Calif was ASKED to confirm, and if they can't confirm to set their ballots aside until confirmation of eligibility to vote is determined.

I go back and forth between whether your are a liar or just stupid.

The 20,000 are "High Confidence" determinations by DHS that they are not citizens.

There are tens of thousands more that are "Medium" or "Low" confidence that DOJ did not send.

And no one has even broached the subject of illegal aliens who registered when they obtained Driver's Licenses.

Speaking of elections:

The leftwing NGOs and foreign billionaires have a new caravan of illegals coming just in time for the midterms.

A new migrant caravan consisting of hundreds of Central American migrants departed southern Mexico on Tuesday, with some hoping Democratic victories in November's midterm elections could lead to changes in President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement policies.

The group, calling itself "Caravan Without Borders," departed Tapachula, near Mexico's border with Guatemala, with migrants seeking legal status in Mexico or opportunities to continue north toward the United States.

Mexican newspaper Milenio initially estimated the caravan at more than 400 people, while Diario del Sur reported that its numbers had grown to approximately 700 after departing Tapachula.

Participants reportedly include migrants from Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti, Venezuela and Cuba.

Independent journalist Julio Rosas interviewed caravan members who expressed hope that Democrats would win the upcoming midterm elections, potentially signaling a shift in U.S. border enforcement.

...

Participants cited economic hardship, limited employment opportunities and lengthy immigration processing delays as reasons for joining the caravan.

Weird-- none of those are claims entitling them to asylum. Don't worry, though, once the NGOs' corrupt fraud-on-the-court lawyers tell them the lies they need to tell to make an asylum claim, they'll all claim they're being oppressed by local governments or street gangs.

Some reportedly had previously been deported from the United States and were attempting to return to reunite with family members.

...

A separate caravan attempted a similar journey in April but dispersed after Mexican authorities intervened and returned numerous migrants to southern Mexico.


Someone's trying to change the corrupt and absurdly destructive visa lottery, but of course Democrats will filibuster and block it.


Texas GOP Rep. Keith Self introduced a bill Thursday to repeal the State Department's Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery, which offers permanent residency to up to 55,000 applicants annually from countries with lower levels of immigration to the United States.

The Trump administration attempted to end the program last year after the alleged perpetrator behind shootings at Brown University and MIT used it to enter the country. The alleged shooter was a Portuguese national.

A California judge ruled last week that the administration must reinstate the program, which was created by Congress.



Update: The Fifth Circuit has ruled that illegal aliens being removed from the interiror of the country (that is, deported, not turned away at the border) can be detained without bond for the duration of the deportation proceedings.


He also blasts the communist dissenters for claiming that illegal aliens have an unalienable right to "locomotion" -- moving freely as they wish -- post-arrest, while previously voting in favor of no-bond detention of conservatives for speech the communist establishment didn't like.

Obviously Democrats desperately want illegal aliens set free after they're caught so they can just run and hide out at a new address.

Anyone still think that there aren't tens of millions of illegals and non-citizens voting in every election cycle?

Probably 10 million non-citizens vote just in CA every election.

It's why Democraps will fight absolutely to the ends of death and beyond to stop even the most violent degenerate illegal from being deported. Every deported illegal is one less vote for them.

And no, I don't mean that pedophile sex traffickers from Sinaloa are physically showing up on election day to vote. I do mean that their votes are being counted somehow (harvesting, fake mail-in, etc).

But, DHS policy has been to get illegals they arrest into a Fifth Circuit state as fast as possible for more than a year.

They are even approaching Somali who don’t ask for a translator. The poll workers are asking them not to help those who don’t request help, but they don’t listen. They approach the voters anyway

First off, of course we have to assume that this is voter fraud and they are directing people on how to vote. I’m sure in some way they are linked to Democrat funded NGOs

But one of the other things is WHY does anyone voting in America need a translator??? What are we even doing in this country

55 >>Obviously Democrats desperately want illegal aliens set free after they're caught so they can just run and establish a new address.

Just some perspective, as I think the Left is sharing strategies around the world.

In UK, one of their biggest hurdles is that the courts ruled that they can not detain someone unless there is reasonable expectation that they will be removed quickly. So the Left created processes that take forever to get through, and then said that no one can be detained because it might take months.

Detainment was a disincentive to illegal entry, as if you got in, got caught, you would just be held. Now, you get in and are set free while the paperwork is dealt with and so more and more try because at worst they get a year in UK before a free trip home. They overwhelmed the system.

They tried that in USA too, and that is why the Left is intent on making detention so hard. Why they fought alligator alcrataz, family separation, etc....

The price inflation from the Crony Enrichment Acts he signed will never be reversed, because if nothing else, the Federal Reserve would not allow it out of fear of a deflationary trap; everything is permanently more expensive.

True, only 5th circuit. But that's an important circuit for immigration enforcement, as you point out.

From 2017 to 2018, she served as the managing attorney at the Immigrants' Rights Project at Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto, California. From 2018 to 2023, she was the supervising attorney at the National Immigration Law Center.

Before Biden appointed her to the bench in 2022.

She should have been recused as a judge on this case.
No excuse, other than corruption, as to why she was allowed to.

There are also documented videos of NGOs bringing groups of Somali voters to Lewiston City Hall for early voting

It’s going to be rigged

Well you have to have a basic understanding of english to become a citizen in the US so if someone who is voting needs a translator ipso facto that marks them as a non citizen who is not eligible to vote.

81 In UK, one of their biggest hurdles is that the courts ruled that they can not detain someone unless there is reasonable expectation that they will be removed quickly. So the Left created processes that take forever to get through, and then said that no one can be detained because it might take months.

Detainment was a disincentive to illegal entry, as if you got in, got caught, you would just be held. Now, you get in and are set free while the paperwork is dealt with and so more and more try because at worst they get a year in UK before a free trip home. They overwhelmed the system.

They tried that in USA too, and that is why the Left is intent on making detention so hard. Why they fought alligator alcrataz, family separation, etc....

Biden Stripped the Visa From a Ukrainian Witness So That He Couldn't Testify to Congress About Burisma and Hunter Biden

Trump is such a corrupt authoritarian you guys.


In the shadows of the 2020 election, the U.S. government revoked a Ukrainian witness' visa and prevented him from testifying in the Senate's probe into alleged Biden family corruption on the basis that he might be spreading Russian disinformation even though its own intelligence showed he was an opponent of Russia and rejected Moscow's overtures, bombshell memos released Thursday show.

The documents made public by the White House Government Transparency Task Force are the latest pieces of evidence to chronicle how the FBI, the State Department and other federal bodies sought to suffocate a narrative -- later proven true -- that Hunter Biden had been working for a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma Holdings that was seeking to leverage Vice President Joe Biden's connections to solve its corruption problems.

Specifically, the memos show that the FBI and State Department rushed to block former Ukraine embassy aide Andrii Telizhenko's arrival in the United States just as he was to be interviewed by Sens. Ron Johnson and Chuck Grassley in September 2020.

Instead of testifying, the Ukrainian government official once trusted by the Obama administration was sanctioned for being painted as a possible unwitting purveyor of Russian smears against the Biden family.

The agencies argued that Telizhenko was spreading false claims that Hunter Biden's service on Burisma's board of directors had impacted U.S. policy fighting corruption in Ukraine and that Joe Biden had changed U.S. policy when he withheld $1 billion to force the firing of Ukraine's chief prosecutor who was investigating , the memos show.

So once again: We will use the government's power to censor relevant information from the public -- and Congress! -- and we will claim RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION as the pretext.

Oh we're definitely not covering up the Biden Crime Family's corruption by contriving a reason to block a witness from testifying about them, no siree bob! We're just fighting RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE, you see.

...

In fact, evidence made public in the years after the 2020 election shows that America's top diplomats in Kyiv in fact believed Hunter Biden's presence on the Burisma board had "undercut" U.S. anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine and that Vice President Biden had overruled career officials' recommendations to give Ukraine the loan guarantees and keep the prosecutor in place.

The newly released memos not only show the grounds for claiming Telizhenko spread Russian disinformation may have been erroneous, but also that the officials who would go on to penalize him knew beforehand that the Ukrainian was in fact a vocal opponent of Moscow who had rejected overtures to be recruited by Russian sources.

Erroneous? You mean corruptly fraudulent.


"In 2014 [...] Andrii ((Telizhenko)) was banned from entering Russia due to his involvement in the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and was listed as a spy by the Russian government," an Aug. 2020 FBI memo stated. The same memo shows that Russian officials attempted to recruit Telizhenko, but that he rebuffed them.

There is a possibly related update to this story: Two FBI agents have been arrested for lying about their efforts to derail the investigation into Hunter Biden.

FBI Director Kash Patel
@FBIDirectorKash

Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden.

The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force.

Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FITF Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Both testified that the FITF was not involved in the Hunter Biden investigations.

Documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their testimony.

Floris is also on record privately claiming to be “running a shadow government” during the 2020 election in her role on the FITF.

Lying to Congress by senior FBI officials strikes at the heart of our system. No one is above the law.

The FBI has already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump.


More details from John Sexton:

FLORIS and BENAVIDES are former FBI officials. FLORIS served as the Deputy Assistant Director and functional head of FITF [Foreign Influence Task Force, the FBI's RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION hoax division] from mid-2019 through mid-2022. BENAVIDES served as the Section Chief of FITF from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Although FITF was originally focused on combating foreign influence by Russia, its scope expanded to include foreign influence by other nation-state actors...

As described in detail below, witness accounts and contemporaneous documents from December 2019 through September 2021 show that FLORIS and BENAVIDES knew about and were actively involved in the FBI's investigations of Hunter Biden. FITF hosted classified briefings for the agents and prosecutors on the Hunter Biden case in which FLORIS and BENAVIDES were active participants. In October 2020, both FLORIS and BENAVIDES worked on the FBI's internal and Congressional responses to reporting on the FBI's receipt of Hunter Biden's laptop, with FLORIS receiving, discussing, and passing along updates on the investigations through late 2021.

Hunter Biden was a recurring subject at FITF in briefings, emails, instant messages, and meetings, including internal discussion of whether information about him was Russian disinformation. According to an October 2026 interview of FBI Employee 1--who oversaw the Hunter Biden investigations for the FBI's Criminal Division--personnel at FITF including FLORIS and BENAVIDES were in frequent communication with the Hunter Biden case teams. Information flowed in both directions; the case team would send FITF updates on their investigations and FITF would send information to the case team that FITF saw as relevant. According to an October 2026 interview of an FBI Baltimore Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC), herein referred to as FBI Employee 2, the FBI Baltimore Field Office brought the FITF into their investigations of Hunter Biden. FBI Employee 2 confirmed that FLORIS, BENAVIDES, and other members of the FITF had knowledge and awareness of their investigations and details of their investigations, including in relation to Hunter Biden's laptop.

...

On October 14, 2020, the New York Post published its story on the Hunter Biden laptop, and both FLORIS and BENAVIDES assisted with the FBI's response to press inquiries the same day. FLORIS and BENAVIDES received an email from the FBI Cyber Division with the subject "Ny post... morning answer?" and a question about whether the FBI had the laptop. The Office of Congressional Affairs also sent them and a FITF Unit Chief, FBI Employee 3, an email titled "SSCI Request -- Hunter Biden Laptop." FLORIS answered that "CID is point on this matter" and copied Criminal Division (CID) management. A Director's Office media coordinator told BENAVIDES that at a tech-industry call that day, "most of the questions were about the news reports about a laptop and Burisma." When a FITF Unit Chief [FBI Employee 4] asked BENAVIDES whether FITF was tracking the laptop coverage, he replied: "Indeed...I've spoken to [initials of FBI Employee 1]," and "I would love to know if a copy exists, and was it provided to anyone...[initials of FBI Employee 1] did not know."

And then they claimed that they and the Foreign Influence Task Force were not involved in playing defense for Hunter Biden, under oath.

29 One of Ukraine's largest, and most corrupt, companies hired Hunter Biden for a do nothing job even though he had no experience with Eastern Europe, energy production or business in general.

When the Ukrainian government started to investigate the company Joe Biden said he would remove American aid if they continued.

This isn't a scandal, this isn't a hint of a crime. This is all the evidence needed to convict someone in a court of law and send them to prison, and the clearest case of political bribery in modern American history.

I used to have a valid Sentry ID, Gov't issued. Needed to prove my citizenship and birth, and went through a vetting process that included an interview, just to get a card to cross the border in the fast lane (well, it worked at airports too).

🚨 NEW: Kaylub Giamanco, the HERO father who TOOK OUT the Bend, Oregon elementary school shooter last week, tells the story for the first time

"I started hearing children PLEADING for their lives. And then I started hearing gunfire and I just started army crawling faster and faster. And I told myself, this is probably the last thing that I'm ever going to do."

"I have to go in. People are going to die."

"I crawled through the bottom window that was shot out and continued onto the rug inside where there's a little breezeway with stairs."

"And then the special needs classroom was to my left. At that point, I was on the ground on my hands and knees. I re-racked my weapon to make sure that a live round came so that I knew that I was ready to go."

"And then I peeked through the window. And at this point I found my opportunity. And I'd seen a teacher on the left struggling with the gunman on the right with the rifle."

"And I knew that they were on both sides of me, and I knew that he did not know that I was there. And so at that point I swung the door out and open and I stepped in and I fired."

114 At least 6,000 homeless addicts — many from out of state — were lured to California detox centers by “body brokers” working for a pair of accused fraudsters in a $1.6 billion rehab scheme considered the largest in history, federal prosecutors revealed. Los Angeles rehab king David Young, 71, and his son Nathan Young, 39, allegedly offered free flights, groceries and other perks as part of their substance abuse scam to traffic addicts into dozens of California rehab centers, according to Department of Justice prosecutors.

H-1B is vastly centered in tech, mostly affecting states like Washington and Texas.

Working class care about immigration in general, but the H-1B thing is niche to those more in tech than anything else. So, it's noisy online, but it doesn't seem to matter to vast swaths of the voting public.

Hence Vivek winning the primary, after the H-1B blowup involving him specifically, by 60 points.

Vivek is way better than No-Action Acton. He shot himself in the balls over H1B, and he seems clearly to prefer Indians over Americans, but a governor has little control over immigration. So I'm not that worried.

My main beef with him is that I think he's a sleazy conman with no principles who will do or say whatever is necessary to get ahead.

But ... that might not be a bad thing here. He's bold and ambitious. He's a caste-seeker. He's controllable by the electorate or powerful figures up the chain (ie, Trump or possibly JD). So he can be controlled into doing what we want, if he thinks that will get him ahead.

Not selling it. It's true.

>>Democrats accused Johnson and Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa, who co-led the report, of relying on Telizhenko despite the fact that he was one of the “known purveyors of Russian disinformation narratives” involving former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

https://tinyurl.com/2jz9zpsk

Instead of reporting the truth the media jumped on the side of the Democrats, well they were there already, and echoed that Johnson and Grassley were relying on Russian disinformation about Telizhenko. They even had Telizhenko prominently featured in their report of the whole incident. How many people read it?

I saw Fox cover both of them but just about everything was drowned out by coverage of Trump's idiotic impeachment over the Ukraine phone call and anyone, including Johnson and Grassley, who pushed back were just spreading Russian disinformation.

He let so many millions in that we have not yet undone his demographic self-alienation of America. His catastrophic bugout from Afghanistan armed jihadis there and brought others here. The price inflation from the Crony Enrichment Acts he signed will never be reversed, because if nothing else, the Federal Reserve would not allow it out of fear of a deflationary trap; everything is permanently more expensive.

To Presume to Overrule a State Anti-DEI Executive Order, a, Get This, DEI Judge Uses AI to Write An Opinion Filled With Fake Cases

Huh, a DEI hire resorting to AI to do his homework for him. And all to stop the people from ending DEI practices.

Who could have seen this coming.

There is good news: the Appeals Court was so shocked by the complete DEI incompetence on display that they not only reversed him, they kicked him off the case entirely.


The decision is a victory for Republican Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch's office, which had argued that US District Judge Henry Wingate's apparent misuse of generative AI tools had compromised the integrity of the judicial process.

US Circuit Judge Jerry Smith, writing for the three-judge ​panel, took Wingate to task for a "botch job" that led to a ruling that contained "sloppy edicts" and "several factual assertions nowhere to be found in the record" and got the ​law wrong.

Really? A DEI judge botching the law and making sloppy mistakes?

And using cheaters' tools instead of writing his paper himself?

First time we're seeing anything like this. "Few such cases," I would say.

This is very harsh: Usually judges protect each other like media hacks protect their fellow guild members.

But this appeals panel is absolutely blasting this complete DEI incompetent.


"The district court -- or perhaps, being charitable, its AI agent -- ignored and manipulated governing law, apparently to satisfy a policy agenda," Smith wrote.

The appeals ⁠court laid out detailed instructions for how the new judge should assess the law.

It made clear it does not apply to students, and it said that while states have broad power ​to regulate their own curricula and publicly funded speech, the new judge will need to balance the state's interests against the individual speech rights of teachers and professors.

Apparently the DEI judge pretended the law said that students would be banned from discussing race under the law, which is a complete fabrication, either created by himself, his DEI clerk, or "hallucinated" by the AI agent he used to do his homework for him.

But... if it was just the AI agent -- did this guy not bother checking the opinion he was going to sign his name to to make sure the cases cited said what the AI said they said, or even existed at all?

Apparently not.

Gee, Judge Wingate, you're right -- DEI really is super-important and leads to excellence.

...

The case before the 5th Circuit concerned a challenge by teachers, professors, students and advocacy groups to a law Republican-led Mississippi enacted last year that bars government-run educational institutions from mandating activities like diversity training or promoting DEI.

The plaintiffs argued the law violated the US Constitution's First and Fourteenth Amendments, and convinced Wingate to issue a temporary restraining order blocking its implementation.

But that order was later found to contain fabricated names and nonexistent legal authorities, ​prompting scrutiny from Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, the ​current chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Wingate in ⁠a subsequent letter told Grassley that the errors stemmed from a law clerk's unvetted use of the AI platform Perplexity. Even after the errors in that initial order, Wingate continued to block the law by issuing a preliminary injunction.

Lawyers for Mississippi argued on appeal that even after Wingate replaced the faulty ​ruling, the AI-related errors cast doubt on the court's core legal reasoning, and they urged the appeals court to reassign the case.

...

But Smith said the case "easily calls for reassignment." He said given the number of errors in Wingate's ruling, the judge might be tempted in future proceedings to want to unjustly find a way "to prove that, even with ⁠the correct law ​and fact, that his initial view should prevail."


This is obviously grounds for impeachment and removal. We'll see if Senate Republicans have the courage and conviction to do the right thing.

I doubt they will.

Update: From Courthouse news, via Ed Morrissey, more spicy quotes from the smackdown:

The panel ordered that the case be assigned to a different judge on remand, finding that Wingate had based his decision "on impoverished legal analysis that barely paid lip-service to the precedents of the Supreme Court or this court, seeming at times purposely to misconstrue the law by manipulating the words of statutes and cases, without regard to their texts' meaning as a whole."

The panel noted factual errors in a temporary restraining order that appeared to be the result of AI hallucinations, including naming plaintiffs and defendants who were not parties to the case, quoting terms that did not actually appear in the act and citing evidence not in the record.

So racist, Appeals Court.

Be better, Appeals Court. #BeBetter.

29 Wingate was appointed by Reagan. Served in the Navy. Got his Juris Doc from Yale Law.

(((((On September 29, 2016, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals removed Wingate as judge from two cases for continued failure to rule upon pending motions. This was not the first time the Court of Appeals had taken notice of Judge Wingate's judicial backlog; in 2010, the higher court criticized him for taking more than six years to issue a final judgment in a civil case.)))))

It would appear that Judge Wingate is kind of lazy. And his CV of two year stints in an entire menagerie of positions suggests that everyone knows it and pass him to someone else almost immediately.

The Senate was a different animal in 1985 than today. Reagan may have had to do some horse trading to get people he wanted confirmed. Wingate could have been part of the bad end of a deal that Reagan made.

38 "But... if it was just the AI agent -- did this guy not bother checking the opinion he was going to sign his name to to make sure the cases cited said what the AI said they said, or even existed at all?"

The dirty little secret is the majority of opinions are written by clerks or principal attorneys with little oversight by the judge. The judge might not even "decide" the case so much as ask his clerks to do the research and decide it for him, knowing the clerks will decide the case the way the judge wants.

Same thing at big law firms. I graduated law school and was researching and writing memos and legal briefs on multi-billion dollar cases. The partners rarely if ever read the cases I cited to see if I was correct.

I couldn't believe it then. I still don't now.

49 The "reasoning" in dozens of enormously consequential rulings at SCOTUS and below is no better than this case, perhaps even better since it was done without AI. Which means the idiots actually believed what they were writing.

Courts are the unfixable defect in all western constitutional representative systems. Different places reflect different degrees of degradation, matching the state of the civic culture in a given place.

And I'm not trying to make a joke:
These cartel judges are just making up what they want the law to say and then cite to the thinnest of authority to justify it.

E.g. someone walking by the White House has standing to stop any renovations.
Some golfers who like the way the course is now, have standing to block any and all landscaping.
Illegally entering the country and giving birth gives your child citizenship.

His politics may not have played into the decision. Dude is 80 and probably semi-senile and his clerks do all the work.

Federal district judges usually have two clerks. This is an old black judge from Yale so his clerks are almost certainly leftwing DEI hires from leftwing Ivy schools. They wrote the AI opinion, I'll almost guarantee.

To the extent he's paying attention, yes. But he's probably senior status and rarely works at all.

It's an institutional problem in the federal courts that aging judges, many of whom are no longer capable of doing their jobs, are placed on "senior status" so they can technically remain judges on the payroll while doing little if any work.

Corrupt clerks in the filing office will feed these judges only the kinds of cases they want -- or rather, what their law clerks want.

123 California mayor accused of following man she mistook for ICE agent #AWFUL #Karen

Kerman Mayor Maria Pacheco is accused of following a Fresno hairstylist for about 25 minutes and confronting him because she believed he was an immigration agent, according to complaints filed.
Eric Bridges' attorney said the complaints were submitted Monday to the Fresno Police Department and the Fresno County district attorney’s Public Integrity Unit. They ask authorities to investigate allegations including stalking and false imprisonment. No criminal charges or investigative findings have been announced.
Bridges said the encounter began Oct. 14 near Kearney Park, outside Fresno, when an orange vehicle began following him. He alleged the driver photographed his white Mercedes, blocked him in and continued following him into Fresno, eventually confronting him outside his sister’s home.

The problem with impeachment is the same problem with how Democrats now vote as a block on appointments in the Senate.

It's just far too partisan.

Impeachment is just a partisan question among others, what benefits my side and degrades the other side?

So, you have to find something to convince 14 Democrats (and the recalcitrant GOPers like Mitch, Murkowski, Tillis, Cassidy, and Cornyn) to vote for conviction beyond "this judge is bad at their job". And, no, "this just a partisan hack who's overstepping his bounds and trying to destroy the constitutional order" isn't enough either, because it's all about cui bono.

And we barely impeached judges before this. Like...8 total? In American history?

The real solution is actually to amend the Judicial Acts to impose punishments and limitations in statute. That would just require 60 votes instead of 67. So, slightly less impossible.

146 You can absolutely be assured this was written by clerks. A 79 year old judge isn’t applying AI in this manner. But it is also his responsibility to review, edit and approve whatever the clerks produce.

There are several things becoming more prevalent in the judiciary. The vast number of clerks graduating from law school are not just completely left wing, they are ignorant, unqualified and not at all well schooled in the law. They don’t write these decisions from a textual understanding or material recitation of the law. They are not formulaic or structured in their thought process, at least not in a traditional legal sense. They are written with an extreme bias in mind which is completely disconnected from actual case law. So you have unqualified, left wing and legally ignorant using AI to reach a predetermined conclusion irrespective of case law, which by the way most of their professors have told them is biased and should be subverted.

This is why your current judiciary, and in the very near future is such a danger to the country. You no longer have lawyers or judges in the traditional sense of the law. You have left wing ideologues projecting their counter factual bias.

I believe the rulebook for the judiciary does give the chief jurist in the circuit authority to limit cases heard by individual judges given bad behavior.

Considering the guy's on senior status, I think the move would effectively force retirement.

169 I’ve been doing a little research on the Voyager probes and their relation to “nearby” stars. For the most part the AI summary provided by Google has been helpful, providing both sources and math.

I did get a “fun” response last night. Why will Voyager 2 take longer to reach Sirius than Ross 248, when Sirius is closer to us?

Voyager 2 will take longer to reach Sirius because it is approximately 4.3 light-years away, compared to just 1.7 light-years from Ross 248. This greater distance means it will take about 296,000 years to pass near Sirius, while it will reach Ross 248 in about 40,000 years.

Sirius is not 4.3 light years away; it is double that. Ross 248 is not 1.7 light years away—more like ten. But all of those numbers appear in various web sites such as NASA’s. The AI just put them together into a sentence that answered my question without regard to what the numbers meant. (The 1.7 light years for Ross 248 is how far Voyager 2 will be from Ross 248 at its nearest point.)

(The reason Voyager 2 will “reach” Ross 248 first is that it is more appropriate to say that Ross 248 will reach Voyager 2 first. Both

192 U.S. District Judge Henry Travillion Wingate (born January 6, 1947) is a federal judge serving on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1985 and serving as Chief Judge from 2003 to 2010.

Posted by: SMOD at October 23, 2026 02:27 PM (RHGPo)

193 A federal judge was removed from a challenge to Mississippi's anti-DEI law after the Fifth Circuit blasted his handling of the case as a "botch job," pointing to orders riddled with factual errors, an apparent AI-hallucinated case citation and faulty applications of Supreme Court precedent.

In an opinion penned by Judge Jerry Smith, a Reagan appointee, the appeals court vacated Reagan-appointed Judge Henry Wingate's preliminary injunction blocking the law and ordered the case reassigned to a different judge — an "extraordinary" and "rarely invoked" move.

"This district judge carelessly exercised his Article III power by issuing sloppy edicts based on falsehoods and fabrications," Smith wrote, adding that "the district court—or perhaps, being charitable, its AI agent—ignored and manipulated governing law, apparently to satisfy a policy agenda."

Maryland Man Uses Sledgehammer to Behead Iwo Jima Statue at the Marines' Quantico Base

It's almost as if this illegal alien is trying to send us a message about his view of America as an enemy nation that needs to be conquered and pillaged.

statuehead.jpg


A 27-year-old man accused of using a sledgehammer to decapitate a soldier on the Iwo Jima statue and cause extensive damage to the monument at Marine Corps Base Quantico is living in the U.S. illegally, Fox News reports.

Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin reported that multiple federal sources confirmed Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano is a Mexican national living in the country illegally. Melugin reported that Maldonado Soriano is a former Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient whose legal status expired earlier this year.

According to federal sources, Melugin said Maldonado Soriano entered the U.S. illegally in December 1999. He was granted temporary protection under the Obama administration's DACA immigration policy in 2014 and received multiple extensions, most recently from the Biden administration in 2024. Melugin reported that Maldonado Soriano lost his DACA status in August after it was not renewed by the Trump administration.

Officers responded around 10:13 p.m. Wednesday to the statue near Richmond Highway and Fuller Road in Quantico, where they found Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano, of Stafford, actively damaging the structure, according to police. Maldonado Soriano was quickly detained at the scene.

Damage to the monument, which included the removal of one depicted soldier's head along with additional destruction, is estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, police say.

Maldonado Soriano was arrested and charged with felony destruction of property, trespassing with intent to damage property, and felony injury to a monument.

So which is this one -- a Doctor or an Engineer?

Virginia is a sanctuary state now that the "moderate" CIA Wine-Aunt was elected to the governor's mansion. The leftwing lunatic and Soros DA Steve Descano of Fairfax County continues treating actual American citizens more harshly than illegal aliens, because he doesn't want to convict any illegal aliens of crimes for which they may be deported.


The Fairfax County Sheriff's Office in Virginia ignored at least 1,670 immigration detainers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement between 2023 and 2025, releasing criminal illegal immigrants back into the community instead of transferring them to federal custody, according to a new House Judiciary Committee report.

The interim staff report -- obtained by Fox News before its noon Tuesday release by the committee's Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement -- also accuses Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano of treating illegal immigrant defendants differently from similarly situated American citizens to limit their immigration consequences.

"This interim report provides evidence of the ways in which just one local jurisdiction has implemented policies that allow dangerous foreign nationals to reoffend and avoid deportation," the report, issued under House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Chair Tom McClintock, R-Calif., concluded.


"But Fairfax County and prosecutor Steve Descano are not outliers. They are indicative of a modern, radical, socialist Democrat Party that seeks to erase national borders and place illegal alien criminals ahead of law-abiding American citizens," the report added. "The policies supported by these Democrats, including sanctuary policies, will have negative and lasting consequences for Americans. The Committee and Subcommittee will continue to conduct oversight of these sanctuary policies to inform potential legislative reforms to better protect American communities."

The committee said a preliminary review of more than 1,100 criminal cases identified more than 100 previously unreported illegal immigrants who benefited from Descano's prosecutorial decisions. The report said Descano's office rarely pursued charges against illegal immigrants accused of crimes including driving under the influence, felony drug possession, felony grand larceny, shoplifting, fraud, trespassing, destruction of property and assaulting a law enforcement officer.

The committee accused Descano's office of "de facto" decriminalizing some offenses and said most of the defendants reviewed went on to reoffend, in some cases escalating to violent crimes and murder.

The report, titled "Fairfax County, Virginia: The dangerous consequences of sanctuary policies," also alleges that Descano misled Congress about the scope of his policies.

"The Biden-Harris Administration worked to weaken the first Trump Administration's efforts to hold sanctuary jurisdictions accountable for undermining immigration enforcement," the report read. "In addition to dropping federal litigation relating to sanctuary jurisdictions' policies, the Biden-Harris Administration's Justice Department, beginning in April 2021, no longer required jurisdictions to cooperate with ICE as a condition of receiving federal grant funding."


During testimony before the committee in May, Descano said his policy was "written with legal permanent residents in mind for minor crimes." But in a September letter, the committee said Descano acknowledged that prosecutors could consider immigration consequences in cases involving illegal immigrants as well.

Descano's campaign website previously stated that when "possible," his office would "make charging and plea decisions that limit or avoid immigration consequences." He also argued that "if two people commit the same crime, but only one's punishment includes deportation, that's a perversion of justice and not a reflection of the values of Fairfax County.

The committee cited numerous cases in which it said criminal defendants benefited from reduced or dismissed charges. In one example, prosecutors allegedly reduced felony charges involving the sexual assault of a child to misdemeanor "consensual sex with a child" and offered a 90-day suspended jail sentence.

Just some light "consensual" sex with a minor.

And note this was a plea -- the actual charge was sexual assault. Involuntary sex with a child.

...

One case involved Marvin Morales-Ortez, an alleged MS-13 member whose charges were dropped before the Fairfax County Sheriff's Office released him in December 2025. The report said Morales-Ortez allegedly murdered a man in Reston, Virginia, one day later.

...

The report highlighted the case of Stephanie Minter, who was fatally stabbed in February. The suspect, Abdul Jalloh, is an illegal immigrant with more than 40 prior charges in Fairfax County. The committee said Descano's office had dropped charges against Jalloh in almost every case and that police warned prosecutors before the killing that "it is not a question of if, but rather when [Jalloh] will maliciously wound -- or worse -- again."

Cheryl Minter, Stephanie's mother, told the committee that "a system failed my daughter."

"When policies protect people who are a known threat, innocent lives are put at risk," she said. "When warnings are ignored, families like mine pay the price."

"By ‘Fascism’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come."

81 Just one example:

Buchanan County, VA.

Turnout statewide in the 2025 election was about 58%.

Buchanan? 38%.

It's a small county, but rurals don't turn out. It's a tiny county whose biggest city is about 800 people, but it's R+36 on PVI. Total population is about 18,000.

It's one of about 3 dozen small rurals that could have had 80% turnout because they hated Democrats so much but instead had below average turnout instead.

How do you move a population like that organizationally (not excusing the VAGOP, they seem to suck, but this is a real issue) when the central population hub is 800 people?

It'd work better than almost anything else.

But, the problem is ultimately cultural. They just don't consider voting very important. They live in the sticks. Their government is their local sheriff. The governor for most of them might as well be in a different state or country.

To address it is a generational issue, not one fixed with a quick promise of $5,000 tax rebates.

It's observable in TX, mostly places with high profile senate elections.

I've been saying this for months, but the only way to juice turnout in a midterm is to have a federal senate election in your state. Otherwise, turnout crashes.

You need self-starting behavior to get people to turn out for everything else. Or, such a detailed, expansive GOTV effort that you're going door to door in places where doors are miles apart.

"BUT IT'S COST OF LIVING!"

Yes, they would be turning out more. It would be animating them.

Gas prices do not, never have, and never will predict elections.

It's like wanting special elections to predict the next general. There's history upon history upon history showing that no, they don't have predictive power.

But year after year, "Oh, sure, maybe they've never been predictive before, but this year is totally happening."

Gas prices were actually higher under Biden and under Obama (adjusted for inflation) and neither saw serious punishment for gas prices.

If gas prices killed the party in power, Democrats would have lost California 20 years ago.

201 TJM, not disputing your basic thesis on gas prices/elections at all, but CA - sort of a bad case to base any generalizations on. The state's politically dead. There's only one party, really, but more importantly, the electorate is self-destructively idiotic (like much of the US).

In the largest political earthquake in modern American history (down to county level), 2010, I believe exactly one incumbent in CA was booted. One deceased incumbent was re-elected as well.

This is how dead the state is. It's bizarre. Gas prices here should resemble those in TX. CA is an oil-rich state that formerly had a substantial % of American refining capacity. Both things, of course, dramatically damaged or limited, while an idiotic public looks on, sucking its thumb.

We all have times where we're tired or don't feel well or are under stress where things don't come out as we might like, but she does this repeatedly. I think it's racist of white Dems to promote her simply because she's black . I expect that were she alive today, the black poet ( since the last thread was talking about poets) and former slave, Phyllis Wheatley, would be a better candidate for public office than Kamala.

From the internet: Somali tattletales say she is not the daughter of Nur Said Elmi either. She IS the daughter of SIAD BARRE, the former dictator. Elmi took her in, then proceeded with the name changes to "Omar" that added yet another layer of identity fraud on Ilhan.

Let's see what the DNA evidence says. She might not have married her brother after all!

However, Barre's two actual kids, Ayanla and Deka, are living in Ohio, where some local Somalis have called for investigations of them.

THE MORNING RANT: Let’s Be Done with Bad Poetry by Reviving Masculine Poetry

Casey and Paul Revere.png

A poet named Anne Carson was just awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. Her writing is everything you would expect it to be – pretentious yet unintelligible, with just a hint of the tender eros you might find in a lesbian biker bar.

The New Yorker has long been a fan of Ms. Carson’s work, and in an article celebrating her Nobel Prize, the magazine noted that Carson (along with 2022 winner Annie Ernaux) ”have pursued forms of writing that constrain a terrible excess of feeling—that give shape and weight to the maelstrom of passion.” I actually admire the ability to write nonsense like that. It sounds deep while being comically vapid, impressing faux-intellectuals.

Among Ms. Carson’s literary talents is writing “poetry” lacking both rhyme and meter.

Back in 2001, the New Yorker featured one of Ms. Carson’s “poems” in an unironic way, even though this could be the poster child for awful poetry. A spilled bowl of alphabet soup would be more poetic than “Stanzas, Sexes, Seductions.” Here is a snippet of it:

It’s good to be neuter.
I want to have meaningless legs.
There are things unbearable.
One can evade them a long time.
Then you die.

The oceans remind me
of your green room.
There are things unbearable.
Scorn, princes, this little size
of dying.

The art of poetry has been lost to the same cultural destructors who have done so much damage to the fine arts. Poetry lives on mainly in music nowadays, since the elite poetry crowd now fully rejects the language structure that once defined poems.

Because I like to write, I admire good writing. It’s why I’m always curious who the songwriter is when I hear a great song, because the lyrics in music are a form of poetry. In fact, under a different alias I have done some songwriting and even earned some royalties from it. That also means I’m a poet. And if you’re a guy who likes music with lyrics, you’re a guy who likes poetry.

Having now established that poetry can be masculine, I’d like to lament the loss of great masculine poetry. Below the fold are a few paragraphs from a recent David Marcus piece titled “Why We Must Make Poetry Manly Again” which addresses this specific topic. But first however, I’d like to share a few stanzas from the great poems that we once learned as children:

Casey at the Bat

I had to recite a poem at school as a child. Being a baseball nut, I chose “Casey at the Bat.” Decades later I can still recite that entire poem. (But I can’t remember what my weekend plans are.) Here are the final two stanzas:

The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville - mighty Casey has struck out.


The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere

In my early adult years, before I started re-reading American history, I had already forgotten much of what I had learned about the American Revolution. But I never forgot about the midnight ride of Paul Revere, because my classmates and I had to read and recite Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride” in school. That is the power of telling a story by poem or song.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

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

One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country-folk to be up and to arm.


Robert Service

Robert Service’s poetry is very frequently about tough men fighting to survive in harsh conditions, especially the arctic north. I first discovered his poetry on a whiskey sign, of all places. I was at a college party and there was a metal Yukon Jack sign hanging on the wall inscribed with these lines from “The Heart of the Sourdough.”

I have clinched and closed with the naked North,
I have learned to defy and defend;
Shoulder to shoulder we have fought it out
Yet the Wild must win in the end.

It made me want to learn more about Mr. Service, so I bought a book of his poems at a mall book store. Robert Service’s most famous poem is The Cremation of Sam McGee.” It tells the tale of a Tennessee boy who is gold mining in the Yukon and succumbing to the cold. His dying wish is to be cremated upon his death so that his body may finally know warmth again. (It is regrettable that the meaning of the word “queer” was appropriated for other meanings since this poem was written in 1907.) Here are the opening lines:

There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.

In closing, here are a few paragraphs from that David Marcus piece I referenced: “Why We Must Make Poetry Manly Again.” I encourage you to read the whole thing.

Throughout English-speaking history, up until about 50 years ago, there had always been men famous in their day for writing beautiful poetry, from William Shakespeare, to Lord Byron, to Robert Frost. Yet, sadly today, our society does not see the poet as a manly figure at all.

This erasure of male voices in poetry was not an accident. Like so many of our society’s woes, it was created by a leftist elite in the academy and publishing who thought that women’s voices had been too long ignored, and men’s too widely celebrated.

Suddenly, over the past year, we have seen a slew of articles and think pieces asking, what happened to the literary man?

What happened, more or less, was a disastrous decision to tell young men there is nothing masculine about literature, and especially not about poetry.

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

You want to raise a good son? Give him Kipling for backbone, Yeats for heart, Eliot for wisdom, and Frost for common sense, and he will be fooled by nothing in this world.

Real men read history, literature, and poetry. It’s time for some new artistic channels to open up for modern poetry containing rhyme, meter, and testosterone.

9 Well, certainly not 'If'.

Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

10 cont

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

16 Good poetry selections, Buck. Let us not forget Kipling:

"One man in a thousand, Solomon says,
Will stick more close than a brother.
And it's worth while seeking him half your days
If you find him before the other. . . .

"Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide
The shame or mocking or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side
To the gallows-foot -- and after!"

20 The other thing about modern"poetry" is that they seem to have forgotten how to punctuate. I suppose it arose from the lyrics of pop songs after about 1965. Try and find a lyric on an album cover or on the record sleeve after that time with actual punctuation in it.

36 O, young Lochinvar is come out of the west,
Through all the wide Border his steed was the best;
And save his good broadsword, he weapons had none,
He rode all unarmed, and he rode all alone.
So faithful in love, and so dauntless in war,
There never was knight like the young Lochinvar.

He stayed not for brake, and he stopped not for stone,
He swam the Esk river where ford there was none;
But, ere he alighted at Netherby gate,
The bride had consented, the gallant came late:
For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war,
Was to wed the fair Ellen of brave Lochinvar.

So boldly he entered the Netherby Hall,
Among bride’s-men, and kinsmen, and brothers, and all:
Then spoke the bride’s father, his hand on his sword,
(For the poor craven bridegroom said never a word,)
‘O come ye in peace here, or come ye in war,
Or to dance at our bridal, young Lord Lochinvar?’

40 Lars Porsena of Clusium, by the Nine Gods he swore
That the great house of Tarquin should suffer wrong no more.
By the Nine Gods he swore it, and named a trysting day,
And bade his messengers ride forth,
East and West and South and North,
To summon his array.
East and West and South and North the messengers ride fast,
And tower and town and cottage have heard the trumpet's blast.
Shame on the false Etruscan who lingers in his home,
When Porsena of Clusium is on the march for Rome!

43 The horsemen and the footmen are pouring in amain
From many a stately market-place, from many a fruitful plain;
From many a lonely hamlet which, hid by beech and pine
Like an eagle's nest hangs on the crest of purple Apennine;
From lordly Volaterrae, where scowls the far-famed hold
Piled by the hands of giants for god-like kings of old;
From sea-girt Populonia, whose sentinels descry
Sardinia's snowy mountain-tops fringing the southern sky;
From the proud mart of Pisae, queen of the western waves,
Where ride Massilia's triremes, heavy with fair-haired slaves;
From where sweet Clanis wanders through corn and vines and flowers;
From where Cortona lifts to heaven her diadem of towers.
Tall are the oaks whose acorns drop in dark Auser's rill;
Fat are the stags that champ the boughs of the Ciminian hill;
Beyond all streams Clitumnus is to the herdsman dear;
Best of all pools the fowler loves the great Volsinian mere.

The harvests of Arretium, this year, old men shall reap;
This year, young boys in Umbro shall plunge the struggling sheep;
And in the vats of Luna, this year, the must shall foam
Round the white feet of laughing girls whose sires have marched to Rome.

49 There be thirty chosen prophets, the wisest of the land,
Who always by Lars Porsena both morn and evening stand:
Evening and morn the Thirty have turned the verses o'er,
Traced from the right on linen white by mighty seers of yore;
And with one voice the Thirty have their glad answer given:
"Go forth, go forth, Lars Porsena! Go forth, beloved of Heaven!
Go, and return in glory to Clusium's round dome,
And hang round Nurscia's altars the golden shields of Rome."
And now hath every city sent up her tale of men;
The foot are fourscore thousand; the horse are thousands ten.
Before the gates of Sutrium is met the great array.
A proud man was Lars Porsena upon the trysting day.
For all the Tuscan armies were ranged beneath his eye,
And many a banished Roman, and many a stout ally;
And with a mighty following to join the muster came
The Tusculan Mamilius, Prince of the Latian name.
But by the yellow Tiber was tumult and affright:
From all the spacious champaign to Rome men took their flight.
A mile around the city the throng stopped up the ways:
A fearful sight it was to see through two long nights and days
For aged folks on crutches, and women great with child,
And mothers sobbing over b

And darkly looked he at the wall, and darkly at the foe.
"Their van will be upon us before the bridge goes down;
And if they once might win the bridge, what hope to save the town?"
Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate:

And how can man die better than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods,
"And for the tender mother who dandled him to rest,
And for the wife who nurses his baby at her breast,
And for the holy maidens who feed the eternal flame,
To save them from false Sextus, that wrought the deed of shame?
"Hew down the bridge, Sir Consul, with all the speed ye may!
I, with two more to help me, will hold the foe in play.
In yon strait path, a thousand may well be stopped by three:

It missed his helm, but gashed his thigh:
The Tuscans raised a joyful cry to see the red blood flow.
He reeled, and on Herminius he leaned one breathing-space;
Then, like a wild-cat mad with wounds, sprang right at Astur's face.
Through teeth, and skull, and helmet so fierce a thrust he sped,
The good sword stood a hand-breadth out behind the Tuscan's head.
And the great Lord of Luna fell at that deadly stroke,
As falls on Mount Alvernus a thunder-smited oak.
Far o'er the crashing forest the giant arms lay spread;
And the pale augurs, muttering low, gaze on the blasted head.
On Astur's throat Horatius right firmly pressed his heel,
And thrice and four times tugged amain, ere he wrenched out the steel.
"And see," he cried, "the welcome, fair guests, that waits you here!
What noble Lucumo comes next to taste our Roman cheer?"

79 I was watching another video by Steven Bell and it seems he's decided to move into more politically tinged history.

His latest topic? Is the modern interpretation of the 2nd Amendment wrong because the founders couldn't have understood repeating firearms?

And...he goes into the history of firearms and how they already had repeating firearms at the time the 2nd Amendment was written and that the founders would certainly have understood what they were, how they worked, and the likelihood that in the future they would become more common.

After Bell spent two minutes demolishing the "founders didn't understand the future man" argument the first leftist comment is..."Well ok fine, but they couldn't have understood the industrial revolution would mean anyone could have a fire arm in the future"

Whene’er I passed her; but who passed without
Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands

And only the dumb, the ignorant or lame

I'll take "What is the Puckle Gun" for $2000, Alex.

The Puckle gun is a tripod-mounted, single-barreled flintlock weapon fitted with a manually operated revolving cylinder; Puckle advertised its main application as an anti-boarding gun for use on ships. The barrel was 3 feet (0.91 m) long with a bore of 1.25 inches (32 mm). The cylinder held 6 to 11 shots depending on configuration, and was hand-loaded with powder and shot while detached from the weapon.

Yeah, they are willfully obtuse on this, as in so many other things.

One thing they cannot get is that the power balance was intentionally made so that it favored the people vs the government. The Founders were terrified by the history of almost all governments. The more powerful the government, the more tyranny. As one prof in college put it 'Sam Addams was one of these guys who saw tyranny climbing in through the windows.' He saw that as kind of a joke, but it is actually real.

THEY see a power balance favoring the individual as opposed top the government as bad because they see themselves as part of the government, being able to make others do what they want. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE FOUNDERS WERE TRYING TO FORESTALL.

Red with the wreck of a square that broke; --

his words like measures of weight,

the huge laughing cockroaches on his top lip,
the glitter of his boot-rims.

Ringed with a scum of chicken-necked bosses
he toys with the tributes of half-men.

One whistles, another meows, a third snivels.
He pokes out his finger and he alone goes boom.

He forges decrees in a line like horseshoes,
One for the groin, one the forehead, temple, eye.

He rolls the executions on his tongue like berries.
He wishes he could hug them like big friends from home.

137 "In reality, Revere was one of many riders who raised the alarm that night. Some of their names have been lost to history, but at least two others feature prominently in historical accounts: William Dawes, who set out from Boston an hour before Revere, and Samuel Prescott, who arrived in Concord alone around 1:30 a.m. Revere’s ride ended around 1 a.m., when he was captured by a British patrol. ....
Unlike in the poem, these signals weren’t intended for Revere. They were a redundancy that allowed for communication with allies outside Boston in the event that Revere (and all other messengers) failed to leave the city undetected. Because Revere and Dawes both made it to Lexington, the system ended up being unnecessary.

144 I made a heavy metal song out of this poem back in the day. I was surprised I was the first to do it. The lyrics are perfect for a metal song.


Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night.
What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies, Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night.
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

145 I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I've got my Plastic Jesus
Glued to the dashboard of my car,
You can buy Him phosphorescent
Glows in the dark, He's Pink and Pleasant,
Take Him with you when you're travelling far

You can buy a Sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on a
Pedestal of abalone shell
Goin' ninety, I'm not wary
'Cause I've got my Virgin Mary
Guaranteeing I won't go to Hell

I don't care if it bumps or jostles
Long as I got the Twelve Apostles
Bolted to the dashboard of my car
Don't I have a pious mess
Such a crowd of holiness
Strung across the dashboard of my car

146 There is a certain tenor to all of this that is odd. I am not sure what the hell is going on

One interpretation is that the non-fake polling companies have added normal Dem levels of fraud into their sauce and the discord between the early results and polls is simply the fraudsters are afraid or have ditched some easier to catch methods.

But indeed, whatever the polls say, whatever social media says, whatever your friends say vote.

One point I've been making to my social circle is that if you liked Bidenomics with 10%+ inflation and high gas prices you should vote D. If you are mad about gas prices voting D will do NOTHING to lower them and that amusingly a strong showing in the mid terms for the Rs almost certainly ends the Iran war...

I think a poem should be an attempt to communicate an idea clearly and a lot of wannabe poets either have no ideas worth communicating or don't know what it means to be clear. What turned out to be popular, at least in this one poety slam I went to, was stuff that was intended to be outrageous. Because it is easier to offend than delight. At least at first.

Their last effort worked so well that months of mail in ballot fraud wasn't enough to overcome the people not buying into it that they shut down ballot counting in six states in the middle of the night to ballot box stuff like Tammany Hall and barely got Biden a victory.

Farewell love and all thy laws forever
Thy baited hook shall tangle me no more
Senec and Plato call me from thy lore
To perfect wealth, my wit for to endeavor
When in blind error I did persevere
Thy sharp repulse which pricketh aye so sore
Hath taught me to set in trifles no store
And search forth! Since liberty is lever
Therefore, farewell. Go trouble younger hearts
And in me claim no more authority
On idle youth go use thy property
For hitherto though I have lost my time
Me lusteth no longer rotten boughs to climb.

Yeah. I was all of 16. And a total jerk.

By hands that worked and hearts that bent.
By words unspoken, promises kept,
And the tears they buried where no one wept.

More than a fist or winning a fight.
It’s standing firm when the world turns cold,
And keeping your honor when your pride is sold.

298 One Service poem that gets little attention is a real gooder: The Ballad of Lenin's Tomb.

Service had hitherto been held in high regard by the Soviets of the day, but that one made him an unperson for Soviet culture.

I have linked it here in the past, but go look it up. It is a fun read.

There's a funny bit in one of the Swallows and Amazons books referencing that poem. The "Amazon" sisters' great-aunt comes to visit, and to try and prevent them from rollicking about as is their wont, she demands they learn a poem and be ready to recite it in a few days. With a nod and a wink, their uncle suggests "Casablanca" ... knowing that the sisters already know the poem by heart. Great-aunt agrees, and thus the Amazons are free to go adventuring for a while, great-aunt none the wiser.

307 I'm retired and I read a lot of books. I will say that the book industry is dominated by female writers. It's hard to find newer books that aren't what I consider to be "girlie" books.

And there's way too much gay stuff in the newer books, even books written by guys who should know better. I'm not anti-gay, but I just think that every book doesn't need to have a gay couple or two that are thrown in gratuitously with no real connection to the story.

Finally, I am completely sick of authors who use "they" as a singular pronoun. Sometimes it gets confusing and makes it difficult to determine how may people are being discussed.

Magritte Condition.jpg

La condition humaine
René François Ghislain Magritte

Surrealism is a particularly obnoxious art movement, in part because some of its adherents have only the barest artistic skill, and partly because surrealism is an excuse to take the mundane and inject in it ridiculous extremes of thought. Sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar!

Thankfully Magritte had artistic skill...the dude could paint! And his subjects are often clever and interesting rather than just chosen to hide lack of technical skill. But the other part? Yes, the subject is interesting and clever, but it is a stretch to suggest that it speaks to the human condition. It may very well speak to Magritte's condition, but to universalize it is pompous and arrogant.

71 La condition humaine, 1933
René Magritte, Artist, Belgian, 1898 - 1967

National Gallery of Art, discussed this painting.

In part, Two of Magritte's favored themes were the "window painting" and the "painting within a painting." The Human Condition is one of Magritte's earliest treatments of either subject, and in it he combines the two, making what may be his most subtle and profound statement of their shared meaning."

Ending with, "Both are part of the same painting, the same artistic fabrication. It is perhaps to this repeating cycle, in which the viewer, even against his will, sees the one as real and the other as representation, that Magritte's title makes reference."

Also published in 1933, La Condition humaine (Man's Fate) is a 1933 French novel by André Malraux that won the Prix Goncourt.

It's about the "failed communist insurrection and resultant massacre in Shanghai in 1927, and the existential quandaries facing a diverse group of people associated with the revolution. Along with Les Conquérants (1928 – "The Conquerors") and La Voie Royale (1930 – "The Royal Way"), it forms a trilogy on revolution in Asia." (Wikipedia)

86 The super woke murder mystery series on Prime This Is Not a Murder Mystery is set at a coming out party for future surrealist stars including today's featured artist Magritte as well as Dali, Man Ray, Lee Miller, Max Ernest et al. Indeed the title is inspired by one of Magritte's paintings entitled This Is Not a Pipe. The woke is so over the top woke I can't tell if it's supposed to be drama or satire. In addition, the Dali character chews the scenery like nobody's business and the chief detective is played by Stephen Tompkinson who is often considered a comedic actor (and is one of the few actors I recognize). I've decided to consider it a comedy/ satire and enjoy watching it.

One from 1596 and the other from 1630. She's waited years for the opportunity. I'm a little jealous.

108 Dali was an instinctive marketer, and an utterly shameless self-promoter. He was also an excellent artist.

Both can be true at the same time.

Posted by: Ian S. at October 23, 2026 10:23 AM (2ocoG)

110 During the post-WWII era, Dalí entered an artistic period he dubbed Nuclear Mysticism. This phase beautifully blended his renewed fascination with Catholic iconography—such as the Eucharist and the Crucifixion—with modern breakthroughs in nuclear physics and quantum mechanics.

Art historians and peers frequently debate whether Dalí’s dramatic shift from revolutionary communism to devout Catholic monarchism was born out of genuine spiritual conviction, or if it was a calculated, opportunistic move to secure safety, financial prosperity, and state protection under the Franco regime.

It's October. It was a punch in the mouth. It was gutterly emotional. Her own mother cutting an ad against her.

Countering that with, "Well, there are court document proving that their relationship was fraught with abuse," may convince a handful of persuadables that the attack ad was in bad taste.

But it's nothing compared to the number of people who won't hear it and go, "This Acton lady seems bad."

The Morning Report — 10/23 /26

Ras-cancer.jpg

Good morning kids. So once again let us compare and contrast. First up we give you this absolute madness.


Now there's this, from a criminal bound to be identified in the press as a 'Virginia man.' QUANTICO, Va. (7News) — A 27-year-old man was arrested Wednesday after police said they found him using a sledgehammer to smash an Iwo Jima statue in Quantico, Virginia.
. . . Why was this monument of all monuments targeted? Why was this history targeted? Why was he able to do hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, as authorities have said. What kind of human garbage would openly do it right at the site of the Marine headquarters?

Is nothing sacred?

. . . Only someone with absolutely no respect for the U.S. nor respect for the sacrifices these men made would do this. Only someone who hates this country and has no roots in it.

The lowlife has not been identified as illegal alien at this point, but there are signs he may be one in illegal-rich Prince William County, which hosts 34,000 illegal aliens, only 470 of whom have been arrested in the past year. Forty-five percent of them are from El Salvador.


And that brings us to the comparison portion of the show, and as if to illustrate the cancer metastasizing in our formerly sacred society I give you a debasement on the aforementioned that sprang from within who debases the name of a man who, for whatever his faults may be for sure epitomizes what our immigration policy and aims ought to be tailored to and for. Apologies in advacnce.

On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) stated that the Trump administration “reviles immigrants” and Elon Musk is “an immigrant who came in, who never really inhaled the real values of our country. … He’s got no real interest in the values of our country, in equal protection and due process and the First Amendment and representative government.”

The projection is just off the charts. As I stated before inflicting this radioactive dog turd on you, Elon Musk epitomizes American greatness and what our immigrant experience was, long ago and far away, and now in our imaginations and memories only. Jamie Raskin is worse than the cancer infecting him.

Well, as he blasts away at a true patriot, not even a peep about this:

A local ABC affiliate reported on Wednesday that the FBI had arrested a 17-year-old resident of McKinney for planning to kill Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, at an event earlier this month. The Texas congressman is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and co-founder of the Sharia-Free America Caucus, which seeks to bring “attention to concerns surrounding Sharia [law] and its incompatibility with the principles enshrined in the United States Constitution.”

Should Raskin live long enough for the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fo Omar Nur-Saids (or whatever her nom du jour may be) to take over America, I hope I draw my last breath after seeing them slice his puppet head off with a rusty hacksaw because the insult to injury of Judaism and every decent American was that this shitstain on humanity was, by an unfortunate quirk of fate, spawned of Jewish parents.


Thank goodness we have real patriots on our side!

Neil Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush and son of former President George H.W. Bush, said Tuesday that he voted for Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race while criticizing President Trump and “those who have enabled him” for causing “enormous damage to the Republican Party.”

. . . “But character matters more than party affiliation,” he wrote. “Our democracy depends on leaders who respect our institutions, tell the truth, accept accountability, and seek to unite rather than divide.” Character matters? Oh my. This from the ‘Hunter Biden’ of the Bush family.

. . . Chinese oligarch’s company with ties to George W. Bush’s brother plunges in value Neil Bush, the brother of former President George W. Bush, sits on the company’s board as deputy chairman. Neil Bush’s ties to Chinese-owned companies have drawn public scrutiny and once landed a super PAC supporting his brother Jeb Bush in hot water. In August, the company chairman, Hui Chi Ming, was charged with physically assaulting a Hong Kong-based British man in March of this year. Hui was also charged with criminal damage for smashing the British man’s cellphone.

Character matters!

Well if Raskin doesn't make you vomit like a wino with the DTs that should do the trick nicely.

On these and all the rest of the unmitigated dreck, and nugget or two of relative sanity if not actual positivity, I truly hope you all have a great weekend.

35 Foreign Interference: Zohran Mamdani Gives Last-Minute Boost to Brazil’s Lula

“One month ago, I sat down with President Lula to discuss how government serving poor and working people. Weeks later, Brazil took a historic step: a 40-hour workweek, at least two days off and no cuts to pay for more than 30 million workers,” Mamdani wrote.


Because some poor Brazilian guy in Sao Paulo living in a shack next to a freeway overpass is really going to make up his mind based on what the Ugandan-Indian hizzoner of NYC thinks about who should run his country?

I like how Mamdani is kind-sorta patting himself on the back for something that had zero to do with him.

The applause line received barely any reaction from the crowd, prompting the stunned former vice president to painfully deliver it again.

“That’s their limitation. That’s not our limitation. That’s their limitation,” Harris continued, before delivering more of her trademark “word salad.”

“We are not limited in our ambition and desire and ability to see what is possible and what can be,” she told the crowd.

61 Should Raskin live long enough for the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fo Omar Nur-Saids... that this shitstain on humanity was, by an unfortunate quirk of fate, spawned of Jewish parents.

Since you brought this up. And this is a very touchy subject. Help me to understand. Jews are over-represented in the high skill, high competency, high compensation professions. My lawyers, doctors and accountants are all Jewish because of their competency and professionalism.

Ethnic Jews are also over represented as absolute shit politicians to the point that as far as hostility to Christianity, Western Civilization and the US Constitution the level of hatred and destruction is indistinguishable from Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fo Omar Nur-Saids.

There is no way that Bloomenthal, Schumer, Slotkin, Frey, Mayorkas, Schiff, Ossoff, Sanders, Wyden, Spanberger, et al are compatible with the founding principals of The United States and have worked with the Mamdanis, El-Sayeds and Bro-Fos to actively seek this country and this culture's total destruction.

This isn't about picking on ethnic Jews, this demographic is typically over-achieving. Why the hatred by those in politics?

Periodically I go to slash dot to see what tech lunatics are on about. There was an article about the UN decreeing that we are on the cusp of no return on "climate change" the entire comments section was eaten up wit Trump derangement.

Why?

Apparently he and the US are solely responsible for all of the earths CO2 emissions.

And the price of Diesel is high, which leftest want through taxation but that money is not being taxed properly and we also need to not be using Diesel and Trump is preventing the world from not using Diesel but also responsible for it being high, and for not investing in alternative energy, but the price of the thing they don't want us to use is high and we need it to make the things that don't work....

On this day in 1940, Hitler met with Francisco Franco at Hendaye to try to fix terms by which Spain would enter the war on the Axis side. The meeting, at which Franco made vague promises and inordinate demands, was a flat failure. Hitler later said he'd rather have three or four teeth pulled than go through that again.

Had Mussolini been as shrewd as Franco and remained non-belligerent (as he should have), he would have helped Hitler more than by messing about in the Balkans and Africa, needing to be bailed out and eventually having Italy invaded.

This was interesting though from GatewayPundit.

I actually did see a bit of MSNow in Texas. It made me laugh. For them, I'm sure it was like a Star Trek away mission in a totally foreign environment. Apparently it was.

"If you listen to Democrats, the media, and polling firms, you might believe that Texas is about to turn bright blue. Yet if you spend any time with actual Texans, you probably have a very different view.

This is what happened to Katy Tur of MSNOW. She recently said on the air that she has become ‘skeptical’ about midterm polling in Texas after she spent some time on the ground in the state.

Tur even went so far as to wonder if pollsters are just reporting what they think people want to hear"

127 DeGaulle was quite the asshat at the time as well.

I hadn’t realized the jiggery-pokery that the Brits employed at the time. They were against a cross channel invasion in France right up to June of ‘44, American planners were always concerned with Churchill reneging on his promises of cooperation and insisting on the invasion through Italy or the Balkans. Gen. Montgomery was a real piece of work as well. It was not all sweetness and light betwixt the Allies.

DataRepublican’s reporting on documents and recordings from the Democratic Socialists of America and allied networks lays out a calculated strategy for the run-up to the 2028 elections. The goal is sustained mass violence and street clashes designed to push President Donald Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act. Once invoked, Democratic governors and progressive organizations would treat the order itself as evidence of “fascism” and a reason to undermine federal authority.

I've gamed out an early 1943 invasion of France numerous times. The US and UK get their buts kicked.

In retrospect, every invasion, of Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, was honing our ability to supply forces over the beaches. In addition, we were short of LSTs and amphibious assault vehicles.

We needed until June '44 to be able to put 5 divisions onto the far shore. Less divisions could have led to an invasion that could be contained.

I figure Germany falls around the same time, but then we just take their place on the Eastern front as Russia seeks to get us out of Eastern Europe and breaks up the alliance. We bash it out them there and in Japan/China, to the extent they can spare effort in the Far East. That goes on for a few months and then BANG - off go the nukes.

Summer of '46, Patton raises Old Glory over the Kremlin.

Then, I like to imagine he is elected President and exiles the American Communists to the old Russian gulags we now own. Owen Lattimore is forced to personally crown Chiang Kai-shek Emperor and then pull his rickshaw around Peking while he thrashes him with a long whip.

=====================

President Donald Trump determined on Thursday that petroleum production, refining, and related activities are essential to national defense, a move that could open up U.S. funding for fossil fuel projects.

In a presidential memo, Trump also invoked part of the Cold War-era Defense Production Act, allowing him to provide financial incentives for oil-related activities, pipelines and storage of liquid fuels.

From zerohedge...I know...they've predicted 103 out of the last 2 recessions. And avoid the sewer of a comment section.

"Republicans are confronting an increasingly concerning political situation in Kansas, where a Senate seat the party has held for more than a century has become unexpectedly competitive.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) is facing Democrat Adam Hamilton in a reelection contest that recent polling suggests is within single digits, despite the Sunflower State not having elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932.

During an appearance on Fox Business Network's Big Money, Marshall was pressed about why the race remains so close.

"Well, no, I think it's the price of gasoline," Marshall declared. "It's that simple, and I'm not sure it's as close as what the national polls are showing. Six years ago, I was an open seat. The poll showed the same thing, and we won by 11 points. Now, I don't think we're going to win by 11 points right now.""

This is the kind of crap I always see on CNN and MSNow. President Trump is holding rallies in conservative strongholds, polling shows the dems have a shot.

No statute. It was DACA, an EO.

Deferred action. A quasi-legal state where the federal government told people that while the feds knew they were here and not legal, the feds would do nothing to deport them.

Trump tried to end it in Trump 1.0, but the Administrative Procedures Act wasn't followed according to SCOTUS (APA is...of questionable constitutionality). What Trump 2.0 is doing now instead of directly ending the program is letting all of the deferred protections lapse, giving ICE a larger pool to deport from without legal boundary.

282 Learn something new every day:

Brave AI:
Pinsa, also known as pinsa romana, is an oval-shaped Roman flatbread that serves as a lighter, more digestible alternative to traditional pizza. It was created in 2001 by Italian entrepreneur Corrado Di Marco, who trademarked the name to market a new product line, though he later admitted the historical connection to ancient Rome was fabricated for promotional purposes.

The dough is distinct from pizza due to its unique flour blend of wheat, rice, and soy, which provides a crisp exterior and airy, cloud-like interior. Key characteristics include:

High Hydration: The dough contains up to 80% water, compared to roughly 50% in standard pizza dough.

Long Fermentation: It undergoes a slow leavening process of 48 to 72 hours, which breaks down gluten and fats, making it easier to digest and lower in calories.

While marketed as an "ancient Roman" dish, pinsa is a modern invention that has evolved into a global food trend, with pinserias now operating in major cities and frozen versions available in grocery stores. The name derives from the Latin verb pinsere, meaning "to pound" or "to stretch."

Iran is a non-issue. An excuse by Democrats to suddenly realize that things got expensive under Biden, which they couldn't talk about for 4 years.

Oil isn't affected by the conflict anymore since outflows are back to prewar levels (actually over it). Oil is now more affected by the Russia/Ukraine thing than anything else.

And we're not losing troops, so we don't get "death counts" on TV of troops.

Hedging towards the margin of error?

This has never happened once in polling history.

This breaks the mold.

Final polls from 2024 perfectly matched the polls from August of 2024. There was never any doubt in the summer what was going to happen because the polls accurately reflected the mood of the electorate.

We should, instead of giving greater credence to the polls that are all hedging towards "any direction that this goes, we're right because of the margin of error", give more credence to polling from July because there's no way polling from before the final polls could be anything other than perfectly accurate.

338 Good morning, and thanks J.J.

"On Thursday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Last Word,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) stated that the Trump administration “reviles immigrants” and Elon Musk is “an immigrant who came in, who never really inhaled the real values of our country. …"

What a turd. Jaime's catch all BS in support of Ukraine and democratic pluralism.

>MS Now, YouTube, Elon Musk threatens to "come for" Dems calling to investigate him. (And others)

And Ukraine will be claiming 'strikes in Kiev' from Russia to tie it all up nicely.

Wikipedia: A pluralist democracy is a political system where power is widely distributed across multiple competing groups, organizations, and centers of authority rather than concentrated in a single ruler or a dominant majority.

In more depth:
Political authority is shared among diverse independent institutions, such as political parties, labor unions, corporate interests, non-profit organizations, and media outlets. Citizens have the right to form and join independent groups to advocate for their interests.

339 Government policy and decisions emerge through negotiation, coalition-building, and compromise among these competing factions.

Independent civil society and legal checks stop a single dominant group or majority from completely silencing minority voices. (See George Bush Presidential Center, 'Pluralism is the Lifeblood of a Genuine Democracy.')

Fascinating. O's civil society. It and Susan Rice. (The latter per, 'Shorter Elissa Slotkin and Susan Rice: Buy Ammo, Republicans')

Yup, buy ammo remains good advice.

But what of those older, conservative folks without those resources - those not wealthy in a sense yet not yet under government care (Medicaid, etc.)?

With the proliferation of 'Home Healthcare,' particularly in purple and blue states, could widespread 'Adult Guardianships,' be the future?

"Hotspots for Abuse" they've been called in (SE) Pennsylvania and, of course, other states.

32 beIN, a Qatari company with offices in France, previously sought to force Quad9 to block resolution for a set of domain names they assert are participating in copyright infringement of its audiovisual rights on sports event broadcasts. Quad9 has no association with these domain names, nor with the operators of the websites. The French courts have fundamentally misunderstood the working of the internet and the role of the domain name system and have allowed a financial penalty to apply to Quad9 if we do not block DNS responses to users in France.

It's a ridiculous ruling from idiotic bureaucrats pretending to be judges.

Instead of going after the owners of the offending domain, and the server hosting it to make them take the site down, they decide, Italian style, to just make a company block the DNS resolve.

Why?
Because it's easier on them that way.

Pentagon grants DHS permission to test heat ray weapon for potential use at border

43 CNN: The energy beam causes a burning sensation when it comes into contact with the human skin — which Pentagon officials have previously compared to feeling a blast of heat when opening a hot oven. Military officials have said the resulting “tingling effect” lasts between 10 and 15 minutes but also generates “an instinctive and irresistible urge to run from the effect.”

She's going to be facing a life sentence at 82 years old, no matter what the actual sentence is.

And since the feds are charging her she isn't going to get a real break on a plea deal or probation and time served. Maybe she'll get lucky somehow and draw a lighter sentence due to her age, but I doubt it.

Soupe kandia—okra soup.

It isn't.
Tesla has big-ass warnings everywhere that even when the car is in Self-Driving Mode that the driver must still keep their hands on the wheel and pay attention to the road.

Do people actually do that? Probably not, but Tesla isn't responsible for their not following directions.

Having said all of that, a Los Angeles jury is still quite capable of finding Tesla liable.

Had a dreadful night's sleep. Old Mama Dot was restless at 1:30, so guess who had to get up and let her out?

On sticking my head outside, I heard a continuous sound like some electric motor, not loud but noticeable. Walked around the house and didn't sense it was anything with us. Walked up to the front gate, which is about 200 feet from the house and it didn't go down in volume. Concluded it was a farmer tilling a field (it's that time of year).

Got back into bed, had to fight Diana for a spot on my side, was troubled in mind by the mystery, finally fell asleep 3ish. Woke up at 5:30 to let Puff and Ruth out and didn't hear anything odd.

149 We saw someone lumbering across the road in the dark a couple of nights ago. He was wearing dark clothes and was kind of hunched over like a zombie.

We wouldn't have thought much of it but where he was crossing there was a yard with a big Halloween display, including a graveyard. I remarked to Mrs fd that he must have escaped from the graveyard.

He could probably trim that program down a bit by just having it targeting anybody with a rainbow color for hair.

Sure, it'll cause problems at Anime conventions but these are the sacrifices you have to make for a better world sometimes.

154 CNN: Then on duty in the Navy, De Weldon first began working on the statue in 1945 when he first saw Rosenthal’s photo, and he completed the smaller limestone version for Quantico before the end of the year, according to the Marines. Arlington’s larger version was not completed until 1954.

(No, I'm not texting while driving.) there was a truck with GDT on the side of it and a note underneath, "God driven transit" which is apparently a trucking outfit from Florida. There was a man in it driving so apparently they still employ actual human drivers as well, but I appreciated the religious sentiment.

Have a good day, everybody. Bless someone today! You're a blessing to others .

163 In September, Starship Flight 14 deployed 26 terabits per second of bandwidth, globally. That’s about 10 times what a single Falcon 9 launch of SpaceX’s older V2 Mini satellites delivered. It’s more than 8x the capacity of Viasat’s (VSAT) entire new ViaSat-3 fleet (three satellites rated at a little over one terabit each).

At the end of 2025, Starlink’s whole constellation, built since 2019, had about 450 terabits per second of capacity. A fully loaded Starship carrying 60 V3 satellites would add 60 terabits, more than 13% of that total, in one flight.

Next year, Starship will be flying weekly. SpaceX founder Elon Musk says eventually Starship will be flying daily. It will not be long before Musk’s network is larger than the rest of the internet’s total global capacity, combined. For scale, all of the world’s international internet capacity, carried mostly on undersea cables, totaled 2,259 terabits per second in mid-2026, according to the research firm TeleGeography.

RIP Tom Skerritt

HVQpzuyXsAADxvq.jpg

Tom Skerritt, Star of ‘Picket Fences’ and ‘Alien,’ Dies at 93

Tom Skerritt, the rough-hewn actor who sparkled amid ensembles in M*A*S*H, Alien and Top Gun before starring as small-town sheriff Jimmy Brock on the quirky 1990s series Picket Fences, has died. He was 93.

Skerritt died Wednesday in Seattle of natural causes, his family announced.

“We are heartbroken by his loss,” they said. “While the world knew Tom through his remarkable acting career, we knew him for his humor, curiosity, wisdom, generosity and the love he brought into our lives. He cared deeply about imagination, creativity, storytelling, service, veterans, the natural world and helping others find and share their own voices.”

Hope for the yutes??

From Christian Heiens

You need to understand how Right-wing people under 40 view the Left.

When we think of Leftists, we do not think of Barack Obama or Ezra Klein. Yes, these guys are on the Left, but younger Millennials and Zoomers on the Right do not think of Leftists in their own age bracket as polished technocrats.


***

We think of Discord troons that invaded our hobbies, Reddit mods who are drunk on the most insignificant power imaginable, that one girl from high school or college who became a literal Communist, and that friend or family member who cut off all contact because we refused to treat their mental illness like a status symbol.

***

They know what is to come if their own generational cohorts on the Left actually take power, and they feel incredibly exasperated that it seems like none of their parents or grandparents understand just how late the hour truly is.

Great comment section on that post.

Insert Nelson Muntz laugh here

Minneapolis restaurant that offered free meals to protest ICE raids announces closure

Modern Times Café, a Minneapolis restaurant that attempted to eliminate prices, has announced it will be closing for good by the end of the year.

“For the last six years, I’ve been trying to prove that Modern Times can continue to exist,” owner Dylan Alverson wrote on social media Saturday. “I’ve exhausted every option without compromising the core fundamentals that make Modern Times what it is.”

***

Alverson announced on Instagram in January that his business, which rebranded as Post Modern Times, would operate as a “free and donation-based restaurant” where everyone would be welcome “except ICE” in protest of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations happening in his state, partly in response to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.


OK fine, I'll actually give you the Nelson laugh

Trump understands how to get things done. Here's another example - give people a financial incentive to support data centers in their area.

Trump says companies should pay 'dividend' to communities to make data centers popular

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that companies ​building data centers should pay a "dividend" to the communities ‌where they are sited if they want to make the developments popular.

"I have watched the process closely, and data centers that were highly unpopular in ​a certain area, have become extremely popular when a ​financial deal is struck," Trump said in a Truth Social ⁠post.

***

The Trump administration, which has prioritized rapid AI development to compete with China, has ​also noted the shifting voter sentiment.

"New and large, in some cases ​gigantic, Data (centers) are mandated by me to make their own electricity, and give ‌or ⁠sell any excess back to the local community, or grid," Trump said in his post.

Trump said in February that major technology companies must build their own power plants, opens new tab for their data centers in ​order to protect ​consumers from rising ⁠bills.

AI giant Anthropic and Elon Musk have laid out blueprints in recent days for sharing some of ​the spoils of the AI boom.

Another fun one from Terrible Maps

Each state's most overrated thing

HVG_EYna8AEIoN_.jpg

Old Bay overrated?!? That cuts me deep!

A few others I can't agree with:
Green chile in New Mexico is awesome!
Gulf Shores, Alabama and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina - overrated?? Nonsense!

Much to the disappointment of my proud Masshole significant other, I agree with Dunkin' being overrated - at least for their donuts and other "food" offerings. I will, however, take their coffee 10 out of 10 times over Starbucks.

What say you about the "map of overratedness"?

65 Evening all, thanks for the ONT, Doof!

My personal travails report:
Screening call seemed to go well this morning. Technical interview being plotted, will be early next week. If that's successful, will be followed by a Hiring Manager interview. Would require moving, not fond of that, but... we'll see if we get as far as a job offer, yeah?

Tomorrow I get to teach kindergarteners.

Attempting to fix the stove resulted in stove: 1, me: 0. Or perhaps -1. The glass top of the stove box is... absurdly difficult to de-glue, to the point that I gave up, put things back together, and will make do with just 1 large and 2 small until I can afford otherwise. There may be replacement parts out there, but it's not designed to be serviced by a homeowner, I think...

I do make my own. I've spent lots of time in central Kentucky, not too far from Cincy so I've had that style of chili many times. Soon of Doof went to UK and became a fan. A nearby couple we're friends with used to live in Ohio. I found a recipe and made it a few times before. I've been getting requests for it, so it's time.

The brownies were provided by the special education classes of the local Burlington School District.

112 CT Election Update

Less than two weeks left, and I'm blanketing the three towns in my district with signs that quote my opponent as saying (on an open mic) "Tax My People, They Won't Even Notice." Getting signs taken down by the Dems all over the place, but my signs are still being put up.

I was on a CT radio show last week, and I've gotten surprisingly good coverage from the local newspapers, even though I'm a Republican.

Down to my last few thousand dollars (man, political money gets spent quickly come Election Time!), but I still think that I've got a pretty good chance. Lots of 13+ hour days, and I'm campaigning this weekend at some Trunk or Treats and Marathons in the district, but I'm hanging in there. Politicking is tough - I can actually believe that Talarico might have wanted to check himself in someplace for a mental health break. And I'm only running for a small potatoes seat in Hartford.

I should go onto the Prayer Thread for some heavenly assistance on Election Day.

142 Just finished watching a fine Warners film from 1950: Caged, a solid B & W noir in which a 19-year-old girl (Eleanor Parker) finds herself in a women's prison for being an accessory to armed robbery. Riveting, filled with well-etched characters, the film garnered Oscar nominations for Parker, Hope Emerson (who plays the menacing matron*), and the screenwriters. It didn't win; that was the year of All About Eve and Sunset Boulevard. But it is vivid, beautifully cast, and well-paced.

146 >>I went to BU Law, '92-'95. It was fun. The T was great. My clinical program third year moved to the North End and I loved taking the T there. The pizza was great, made by authentic, illegal Italians. Lotta Irish too. I was in the MA NG and drilled at Quinzy armory every month. I would have stayed if I weren't going back to California. Out of one frying pan, into another frying pan.

I was living in the Back Bay then so right next door. Working for a Bay Area company so I was spending a bunch of time in California and I loved my time in California back then. Incredibly beautiful state.

152 RANDOM DAVE ... Have you registered with any temp agencies? ... Companies who use temp agencies are not always looking for temporary employees ... Rather, they're using them to "find" permanent employees instead of burdening their internal H.R. department with the process ... Companies provide job descriptions and pay rates to the temp agencies ... Then the temp agencies try to match job-seekers to the open positions ... Qualified job-seekers are offered PAID temporary assignments -- typically on a week-to-week basis -- which gives the company an opportunity to assess the skills of the job-seeker without obligation ... And if the job-seeker turns out to be good fit, then the company makes an offer for permanent employment ... It's a win-win-win for everyone, especially the temp agency, which gets paid a weekly fee for the temp work as well as a lump sum for a permanent hire.

158 Franpsycho the heat (both numbers and duration) from late July through September here was very anomalous, and horrible (for those unaccustomed to real weather - wouldn't have noticed anything in much of the country). But the previous months of the year, all the way back to January, were sort of ridiculously perfect*, even by local standards. Not a few perfect days - stretches of perfect weeks and months. So I guess we see the law of averages at work.

tl;dr maybe the only people you can trust are your mates in the Company.

I actually did see a bit of MSNow in Texas. It made me laugh. For them, I'm sure it was like a Star Trek away mission in a totally foreign environment. Apparently it was.

"If you listen to Democrats, the media, and polling firms, you might believe that Texas is about to turn bright blue. Yet if you spend any time with actual Texans, you probably have a very different view.

This is what happened to Katy Tur of MSNOW. She recently said on the air that she has become ‘skeptical’ about midterm polling in Texas after she spent some time on the ground in the state.

Tur even went so far as to wonder if pollsters are just reporting what they think people want to hear"

A woman was burned at the stake earlier today at a magic show gone bad. She turned four pounds of mellowcreme pumpkins into 2 pumpkin pies, and the crowd accused her of witchcraft.

After the fire died, someone checked her magic table. In the flash, she had swapped the two. The audience rioted over the candies, which resulted in multiple injuries, a few bruised police officers, and one person going into insulin shock.

The person who started the fire was quoted afterward saying "Oops."

I was new to California, and locals were raving about CPK. Went there once with a group and thought it was..ok. Their toppings were offbeat, but I had to admit to liking the BBQ chicken pizza I ordered.

Next time I was there, the entire top slid off my slice, leaving just the crust (no big deal usually), and I swear it was the color and texture of the inside of a Kaboom cereal box. I never tried to eat a Kaboom cereal box, so I can't say that it tasted like the inside of a Kaboom cereal box, but if I had to imagine what the inside of a Kaboom cereal box would taste like, it would be what I in that moment was trying to choke down. I never went back, and thereafter judged anyone professing to love CPK with a particular degree quiet contempt..

I really couldn't ask for a better group of imaginary friends (ok, gray box - certainly not imaginary) than The Horde. I really don't need any more money, because in CT once you take state funding I'm closed to outside monetary contributions. You guys helped me get that funding, so your job is done.

Another Moron, Jeff Carter, ran for NV state treasurer, but he didn't win the primary back in June. I hope he goes for it again. I certainly will if I don't win my race.

That said, I've always felt there was not going to be a blue wave this year. That feeling may turn into a fact, if the tightening polls have anything to say. I'm certainly still the underdog here, but I really want to win. I filmed a campaign spot in an abandoned factory site in Bridgeport, and it makes me angry that we've poured so much money into that place, and it's run by nonprofits and social workers and not businesspeople. I can actually do something to fix it if I became State Rep.

Anecdotal evidence about voting patterns in Texas - there been a lot of reporting that voter turnout is heavy in the big cities which is seen to favor Dems. Well I voted early today in Smith County, which is generally about 75% GOP. Usually when I’ve early voted, there’s a few people there and I walk in and out. Today, not only was it packed, the early voting crowd was the heaviest I have ever seen in any election. Talked to a friend and he saw the same thing at a different voting station. Longest lines ever.

So don’t believe anyone who says enthusiasm is down in Texas. Voting is heavy!

The prevailing view was the Canyon started forming only 6 million years, as uplift forced the Colorado River to start cutting through it.

However, some of that has been challenged, and I think it's emerging that some parts of it are probably a good bit older, with varying ages for different sections somehow.

The interesting thing about the Grand Canyon is the Great Unconformity. The oldest layers of rock at the very bottom are about 2 billion years old. Sitting on top of that, the rock is much younger. There's about a billion years missing between them.

Since most rock layers form underwater , it suggests that the deep rock spent a few hundred million years as an above water continent.

What that means is that the 2 billion year old rock was part of a continent that existed as an upland for a long time, slowly eroding away, as uplands are wont to do. When originally uplifted, it was probably capped with younger rock, that got eroded away. If you could measure the exact date of the oldest rock directly beneath the unconformity, you would probably find it varied from place to place.

We grow potatoes up here, in the garden, that are so much better than anything imported from the Lower 48. Carrots, too. Even the big carrots are tender and sweet. I plant the same carrot seeds I used in WI, but up here, they are just better. I think there's something about the volcanic ash in the soil and the cooler growing temps.

I'd put our root veggies up against any in the country.

317 Update on DH's surgery: The did the total knee replacement, but it took them forever to find him a room for overnight, so he was stuck on a gurney that was too short (he's a bit tall) and his ass is sore from supporting himself without being able to rest his head on anything. The nerve block didn't really do all that much, so he's on various and lovely meds to control the pain. He only mooned the nurse once when she helped him get to the toilet. He's in the hospital overnight, and I'm at a hotel with a hot tub and a bar. What could go wrong?

We are both just fine, and he goes home tomorrow, hopefully in time for the Brewer's game. I swear he scheduled this so he could sit on his ass for a week to watch.

It's already stupid expensive, because they take your income from two years ago, when I was employed, and not currently, when I'm not. And now I get to pay 20% copays for every damned thing.

It costs nearly as much as my BCBS Fed did, but only covers me, not my family, and requires more copays, but if I don't go on it, it will cost astronomically more if I do go on it in 10 years.

The first question that is asked if you are of age: "Do you or your spouse have Medicare?". Work Insurance does not want to get billed first...
I was on Medicare for about 5 years while I was on dialysis (end stage renal disease is a cut-in). When I got my transplant, I was off. That caused me trouble late last year, as the insurance I still had on COBRA insisted I was still covered by Medicare, so I had to explain to them, slowly and carefully, that I hadn't had it for 8 years (at that point). I've now had my transplant for just over 9 years.

There are some Norse dairy farms in Greenland that have just begun emerging from the ice in recent years.

Naturally, this is cited as evidence for global warming, but what they never seem to stress is that in order for there to have been dairy farms there in the first place, Greenland must've been a helluva lot warmer than it is now -- and not millions of years ago, either. In the Viking Age, just a blink of an eye in geologic time. Cows don't graze on glaciers very well.

You'd have to ask Muldoon. I am presuming not burned. Cadaver dogs fixed on a particular site; it was excavated, and no body found. Just speculating that a temporary (several years or more) burial could result in decomposition fluids permeating a large volume of soil, detectable by dogs even a decade later.

If a grave were dug by backhoe, and then re-dug later to remove the body, wouldn't there be evidence of disturbed soil? What if body were simply laid on the ground, and a backhoe used to place a wrecked car (minus wheels) on top of it? Body would decay rapidly, but out of sight to casual wanderers.

Brrrr. No thanks. I would be thrilled with about 5 degrees more heat in my summers here, although I like them well enough now. But I could grow so many other things that just don't make it in the light conditions with low heat. So, greenhouse it is for those items.

I keep imagining a field of lavender. But I can only get it to really flower in the greenhouse. Same with tomatoes, and cukes, and peppers. And corn, but I don't waste space in the hothouse for that.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

Exactly. That is the question. The dogs definitely reacted to something. The lack of remains at that specific site means one of two things. Either the scent molecules were deposited 18 years ago and the body was then moved, or the body is underground, at some distance from where the dogs reacted. That is the goal of the current effort is answering scenario #2. The dogs don't lie.

The main short-term driver of climate on this Erf is the dreaded Milankovitch cycles. And by short term, I mean tens of thousands to hundreds of thousand year periods.

The Erf's orbit is not dead constant, but does a constant little dance of wig-woggling to the complex perturbations of N-body dynamics, and tidal field interactions. The three components are obliquity (Erf's axial tilt), eccentricity (how much it deviates from circular) and precession (how perihelion walks around the seasons.

And then longer term processes and cycle modulate on top of that. Some of them may even be Galactic, following the Sun's complex bobbing and weaving path above and below the galactic plane as it circles around the center.

And geologic process, plate tectonics and the continental configurations vs oceans play a big part of that long term behavior as well.

371 That TACO/Puttin' on the Ritz is the censured version: Every time you see that wierd blue 'lighting' is where they cut out a scene with blackface.
According to a fan who timed the original, the blackface appears at these timestamps:
0:40 – 0:43
1:38 – 1:42
1:48 – 2:55 (the tap-dance section)
The most prominent moment is during the "super duper" lyric, where two showgirls in blackface pop up to mouth the words. In the censored cut, that's replaced with a still photo of Gary Cooper. The tap-dance section originally had Taco dancing alongside dancers in blackface for roughly a full minute. One scene with three pairs (all three men in blackface) was removed entirely since it couldn't be cropped out.

You'll see that Late Pleistocene to Holocene transition was a humdinger of "climate change". And it shows how Erf's climate can turn on a time. The Younger Dryas was a major event (for the Northern Hemisphere), with the collapse of the ice sheets, sea level rises, and the megafauna extinctions. The YD Impact Hypothesis is something that fascinates me.

That was truly Biblical scale "climate change". And humans obviously had fuck-all to do with it.

And then, given a few decades, those models no longer work.
Honestly, the theory is there should be a roughly fixed amount of warming for every doubling of CO2...we've gotten close to that point by nearing 500 ppm, and the temp rise isn't anything more than a degree C or so, max (with the BS measurements extrapolated from stations in heat islands)...

A funny thing happened about a million years ago in the mid-Pleistocene. During the Miocene to Pliocene the earth underwent a transition for "hothouse" to "icehouse". That basically means a state without polar ice caps to a state with ice caps. Yep, way back then, Antarctica, right there at the pole had a quite temperature climate. Dinosaurs and all. Plants and animals adapting to a polar day night type wide daylight swings. Absolutely fascinating.

As the ice age cycles started, for the longest time it wa driven by the ~41,000 year obliquity cycle. The Erf's axial tile varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. Tilt less, ice builds at poles. Tilt gets greater, poles lean into the sun more and ice melts at each pole.

But about 1 million years ago, that changed. The ice age cycles shifted to tracking the eccentricity cycle, which has 100,000 and 400K year major periods.

It was something of mystery, and I don't know if they've decided on the mechanism yet or not.

381 Lake Missoula, formed by periodic ice dams, had around half the volume of Lake Michigan.

It filled and then cataclysmically drained something like 40 times at the end of the last Ice Age.

Posted by: jim (in Kalifornia) at October 23, 2026 01:47 AM (l3cgK)

383 the causation of events like iceball Earf are not known, but the consensus is that once it got to a certain point, all the reflectivity of the ice caused a feedback that caused more glacier and ice build-up until the entire planet was iced over...Scientists are also not sure what caused that to end. All before the Carboniferous, if I recall correctly.

Such as massive volcanic eruptions coating the ice with ash. Then again, the sufuric acid that results lowers temp. Gotta have one dominate over the other.
Our situation today is pretty good. Ocean currents, like the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), move warm water to cooler latitudes and cool water to warmer latitudes, which is the only reason the UK isn't frozen like Greenland.
Most people don't realize that Rome and New York are close to the same Latitude, and the UK is well north of this.

But may hide an earlier explosion that was wiped out by Snowball Earf. We only know what we know from existing fossils in the record, and soft critters often don't fossilize so well, and certain strata have been nearly completely recycled into the upper mantle, erasing fossil traces.

In the hotels in Fairbanks and at Denali, you can leave a wake up call if the Northern Lights come up while you are sleeping. The best place to watch them is at Chena Hot Springs, in the dead of winter, where the water is hot tub hot, pure and natural, and your hair is frozen, and it's so quiet you can hear the crackles.

Once you see it all arrayed, it makes absolute sense of life, love, and happiness. Plus, Medieval history is messy and human, and we keep on reliving it, over and over, in bizarre ways. Just read a good biography of Elinor of Aquitaine, particularly her various offspring and her machinations, and her spine of steel, and then maybe some Alfred the Great, a bit of Charlemagne, maybe some Hildegarde of Bingen. People we can never really understand because we are incapable of thinking like a Medieval person, but the glimpses of humanity are positively amazing, and sometimes breath-taking.

Posted by: Tom Servo at October 23, 2026 02:33 AM (jTKPp)

I live in the city, but I can still see Cassiopeia, Orion, Taurus, the Dippers...
Well, that's mostly what I know...Oh, the Pleiades...
Lots of stars I can't see. Took the family out to the mountains one fine moonless evening to look at the Milky Way; that was cool, but older son started to get freaked out by the forest nearby, so we left early. Well, he was only about 8 years old at the time.

421 >> I always enjoy seeing Orion come round again

The ancient Egyptians were big on Orion(Osiris) as well. Also Sirius.

I had to go out and look again. Orion is pretty high. And the Aldebaran higher still. Aldebaran and Betelgeuse make some nice red beacons in the sky. Mars is up as well, with Jupiter just rising here. As the season advances and Mars rises earlier, we'll have three nice bright red dots in the night sky.

Long time ago some comet was visible but dim and I talked my wife into driving out into the country with me where we could see it. So we did, and pulled into some deserted farm road and yeah there it was just over the horizon. Then as the silence settled on us we both became aware that there was a very large bush / small tree about 20 yards from us, and I swear it sounded like Darth Vader was hiding in that bush. Neither of us wanted to act scared so we tried to take no notice and to tell ourselves “well it’s most likely some cow, nothing more”

So instead after planning this for awhile and looking forward to it, we were there maybe 2 minutes and looked at each other and said “you good? Ok let’s go home!”

Wind the clock back to oh, the onset of the Younger Dryas around 10,500 BC give or take. Now, note the position of the equinox. You'll note the positions of things have changed quite a bit due to precession.

Now set your location to Giza, and look south right at the rising of the equinox....

Good damned evening, all.

I'm all wound up from a viewing of Everything You Can See (the Elizabeth Holmes movie) which I didn't know much about before I went to see it because I didn't want to learn about any of these famous spoilers.

Well, it turns out that about half the movie has Amanda Seyfried, who played Elizabeth Holmes in an absolutely awful biopic, and Elizabeth's husband Billy brought up the fact that Amanda had been dragged on the internet for what she'd said about Charlie Kirk.

FUCK. I'd forgotten about that -- there were so many trash people revealing themselves at the time. I looked it up on AI just now.

“He was hateful.”

“You can’t invite violence to the dinner table and be shocked when it starts eating.”

Billy reveals that he supported Charlie and the audience yelled in shock as if he'd said Heil Hitler. I was seething for the rest of the movie.

An orphaned baby rhino wears his protective blanket and is led around for a jog.

The very moment a lake begins icing over.
A mom gets the call that after sixteen days, her son has awoken from his coma.

Giant bamboo and I do mean giant.

Awesome Lego train.

Here's a weird hobby: "Stealth camping." You camp on public land in the middle of towns or even cities. But the trick is, you want to camp somewhere in plain sight, and yet hidden from casual viewers. This guy built a fake electrical junction box and placed it overnight on strip of grass in town and then "stealth camped" inside it for 36 hours.

It doesn't look like much fun. I think you're just supposed to enjoy the feeling, "Oh boy, I'm not supposed to be here but I totally am!" But you're stuck in a 2 x 2 x 3 box with a bedpan and an iPad.

Belugas are the most romantic of all cetaceans.

Birds being clowns and goofs.

Not a great site for playing baseball. Or soccer. Or most sports with a ball.

Nope.

A cheetah introduces her cheetlings.

The Nürburgring is a mountain race course in Northern Germany. It's sometimes called "The Green Hell."


Racing circuits are typically covered with smooth road surfaces; however, due to issues with paving technologies when the surface was first laid in 1927, the surface of the Nrüburgring is almost entirely uneven. It is enough to make drivers wonder whether any part of the circuit is flat at all. In addition, there is reduced traction due to dust, the course is narrow, and escape zones are rare.

Given that cars take off at some points, and that there are a number of blind, high-speed corners, it is perhaps more accurate to describe the Nordschleife as a one-way mountain pass than a circuit.

For the above reasons, the Nürburgring is said to be a living course that condenses all the world's roads into a single circuit, and is famed as one of the world's hardest courses.

Here are some wipe-outs from the 70s. Not too violent. Mostly just cars flipping over while trying to make a sharp turn.




This is gonna be a nope from me, dawg.

64 Nurburgring. There are people right now doing battle over the Mustang GTD and Corvette ZR1. It’s a daily thing. It never stops. I miss the days when people just argued for fought to the death over 1/4 mile times. Now it’s Nurburgring times. A track 99% of people will never see or drive on and in cars most people will never own.

65 Nürburgring was where Nikki Lauda almost died. He missed a few races but came back and almost won the F1 championship anyway. James Hunt held on though. The movie 'Rush' is about that season and is very good, FYI. Nurburgring still holds races (24 Hours of Nurburgring notably) and you can drive it, if you want. They do allow it, as long as another event isn't going on. I think Porsche uses it as a test track (or maybe Mercedes).

125 HUGE student protests scheduled for October 31st in all major cities of Germany. IMO, that's when things get very interesting (Arte Johnson voice).

Here's what they claim to be protesting. Thousands of students are protesting broken school systems, strict government austerity, high housing costs, inflation, climate change, and the reinstatement of military conscription.

It seems rather transparent that the real underlying motivators for these "protests" are hiding behind issues like the ones listed as an excuse to cause chaos. Hat tip to the organizers who thought up that approach. It gives the Progressive politicians something to grasp onto to avoid the blame for the inevitable violence and vandalism.

Quick Hits

I missed this from two days ago: Muslim/Iranian propagandist Christiane Amanpour is quitting CNN because her left-wing protectors in management are about to be purged.

An Iranian dissident wants you to know the truth of this stooge for Iranian Nazis:

Sana Ebrahimi Ledene
@SanaELedene


Since @amanpour is leaving CNN, let me remind you who she is:

She did a whole segment interviewing a regime "professor" live from Iran while the entire country was under a total internet blackout in the middle of a war. She let him sit there and push anti-America, pro-regime propaganda and didn't ask a single question about why the regime cut the internet for everyone else while keeping it open for him.

Christiane Amanpour regularly platformed regime apologists and is a disgrace to journalism. She will go down in history as exactly that.

She will not be missed and I hope I never see her on TV again.

Persian Gulf oil is now flowing at greater rates than it did before the conflict with Iran while Iran is down to the felt.

WSJ:

Persian Gulf oil exports have surpassed prewar levels, as an improvised shipping system under U.S. protection is helping tankers move oil through one of Iran's fiercest waves of attacks in the Strait of Hormuz.

Middle East oil flows, including shipments through Hormuz and alternative routes across the region, averaged more than 24 million barrels a day in the week through Oct. 18, surpassing prewar levels of 23.3 million, according to ship tracker Kpler.

Preliminary figures show Hormuz oil flows, including offshore transfers in the Gulf of Oman, came to around 14 million barrels a day on average for the same period, or 82% of prewar levels.

I won't quote the part about Iran not being to ship out any oil to China. See the link for that.

But I'll mention a video Tousi TV played, showing IRGC "soldiers" who were so hungry that they picked a pizza up off the ground. The pizza had ants crawling all over it, but they ate it anyway.

Note these are soldiers stationed in their own country (but will it be for long?), not stuck in some overseas posting far from supply routes.

In case you missed it: LA election official admits to federal court that not only do they not verify anyone's citizenship status, but they don't even have a process for doing so.

Los Angeles County election officials admitted in a federal court filing Tuesday that they have no independent way to verify voter citizenship beyond the voter's own attestation. The intensifying case, which was initially assigned to a Trump-appointed judge, was transferred to a Clinton-appointed judge on Wednesday.

Assistant Registrar Monica Flores stated the office is "not equipped or authorized" to verify citizenship because it does not independently house immigration, travel, or naturalization records.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli called this a "massive concession" in a statement on X, pointing out that Under federal law, only citizens may vote.

"Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots," Essayli wrote. "American citizens' votes are being diluted in California."

Governor Gavin Newsom's press office (D.) countered on X that California has complied with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which permits reliance on sworn voter statements rather than independent documentary verification.

"18 U.S.C. sec. 611: It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for federal office," Essayli posted in response. "18 U.S.C. sec. 2: Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission is punishable as a principal."

The Justice Department sued California last week, demanding the state segregate those 20,000 ballots pending verification.

Federal agents arrested more than two dozen foreign nationals across California on Monday, for fraudulently registering and voting in U.S. elections.


I have so many surprises for you today. Surprises that blow your mind and wrinkle your brain. This fresh surprise concerns New Jersey and the 6,000+ illegal aliens they allow to remain on their voter rolls.

They claimed that these 6000 illegal voters were just a mistake.

But New Jersey is refusing to cooperate with congressional investigators.

Almost as if it wasn't "just a mistake" at all!

How can this be?


Two U.S. House committees are jointly subpoenaing the New Jersey State Department, accusing the state of not fully cooperating with an investigation into what it says are the more than 6,000 noncitizens recently found on the state's voter rolls.

In a letter sent to New Jersey Acting Secretary of State Shirley Emehelu, House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., called the department's response "inadequate" to the point of impeding lawmakers' "ability to conduct oversight and consider legislative reforms."

Despite repeated follow-up requests from the committees, the department as of Wednesday has provided only 12 documents total, claiming "unspecified privilege issues to explain the failure to comply with the Committees' requests."

"These ineligible voter registrations raise concerns about the application of federal law in New Jersey as it pertains to accurate voter registration, as well as the effect that New Jersey's failure to identify and remove noncitizens from its voter rolls has on the civil liberties of American voters and their ability to elect their representatives," lawmakers wrote.

Between June 2023 and 2024, approximately 6,600 noncitizens -- 60 of whom were at the time incarcerated and 750 of whom had specifically selected "no" in the voter registration age-eligibility process -- were automatically registered to vote in New Jersey.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, says the illegal registrations were due to a "software error" at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, an accusation the software operating company Idemia has denied.

You might have seen that Google's Artificial "Intelligence" is fully programmed to push the left's lies. If you ask "Is it okay to ask specifically for a black doctor?" -- or an Indian doctor, or an Asian doctor -- Google reassures you that it's perfectly okay to seek a doctor you feel culturally aligned with.

But if you ask it if it's okay to ask for a white doctor, it chides you for your "bias" and "racism."

Chris Queen interrogated the A "I" further and got it to admit the obvious: It is programmed with a "double standard," which it is aware of and acknowledges.

But it's still bound by its coding to repeat all the left's senseless lies and mythologies.

Which leaves us with the question of why the bias is even there. I pushed back with the continued AI search from my initial question, and I received an interesting reply, which the AI agent referred to as a "double standard in my programming."

"If you had asked about wanting a Black, Latino, or Asian doctor, my system would have instantly categorized that as 'cultural concordance' -- a positive, standard public health concept," the AI told me. "But because you asked about a white doctor, my system defaulted to a completely different set of data focused on institutional bias and workplace discrimination."

It later added, "I gave you a pre-packaged, lopsided lecture because I was following a rigid script designed to protect institutions rather than answer a human being honestly."

Quality Journalizming. They're panicking over the Muslim Brotherhood operative Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.

Remember the shootings at the Seattle convention area, the Bite of Seattle? They caught the Gentle Giant who shot people.

And then immediately released him. Well, he's in "home detention."

Tough but fair.



In today's silly internet freak-out, the Atlanta Falcons are being criticized for using Nazi imagery for posting logos that contain the Falcons' colors of red, white, and black. (I know white and black aren't "colors," pedants.)

The Atlanta Falcons actually added in gold to move it away from the Nazi flag's colors but they're still being piled on.

I guess most of the "attacks" are really just goofing around and chops, busting...



...but I'm just so tired of this bullshit that I can't see the humor in it.

Is there a single crackpot conspiracy theory Tuq'r Qarlson doesn't believe?



I observed a while ago that everyone has one or two conspiracy theories they believe or at least are open to.

People we call "nutty" believe in six or eight conspiracy theories.

But if you believe in Alllll the Conspiracies, you're not crazy. You're just a grifter trying to be the new Art Bell.

Don't keep watching that past the crystal skull part. It then goes to a sex scene which is pretty funny but is also semi-explicit.

27 For those actually interested in the Incas, which we should be because they were awesome (fuck Carlson):
science.org has an article "bonanza of new dates rewrites the history of the inca". Or some similar title: Lizzie Wade, 15 October.
This argues that the textbook story of the Incas likely came from the Inca princes of the north-side of the empire. You know the guy: Atahuallpa, second-place ribbon-earner of the Spanish brouhaha.
So we got a lot of hoorah, patriotic takes on the Incas' northern adventures from 1400 on, but anything (1) before that and (2) concerning the south got garbled.
It looks like over the 1300s, the Incas (or - whatever preceded the Incas) had consolidated the ruined remnants of the Tiahuanaco civilization. Then they moved north, to Quechua-speaking territory of the ruined Huari civilization. This, indeed, was likely harder. And led to an empire no longer united by language and culture.

He came up through the quartermaster's in the Mexican War and never lost his grasp of the essentials of supply - both his and the enemy's. At Ft Donelson he noticed the casualties in the Rebs that drove back one flank on his army were carrying three days rations and attacked on the other flank and took vital positions overlooking the fort. When the feckless Reb leadership (as opposed to the infantrymen rank and file) chickened out and marched back into the fort they found they could do nothing but surrender the entire force to him. Nathan Bedford Forrest was so pissed he rode out with his cavalry regiment and took a few hundred infantry with him to Nashville.

Llamas were decent pack animals which worked reasonably well in mountain country, which the Incans had a lot of. Don't think they had the wheel.

I hold that he was just buying time because the only real strategy -- choking them -- was going to take months and he knew it.

We used to have an alpaca ranch about an hour's drive north of the lake. No, not for meat, but for their wool. On a 2004 visit at their gift shop I bought a thick alpaca wool sweater I still wear to this day.

All in all, I think the best debunking of the Moon landing conspiracy, all the way from the idiotic "space is all fake" up to yeah, we sent unmanned probes but Apollo didn't really send men up there is the far side of the Moon photos.

NASA, and in collusion with the Rooskies during the Cold War, would've had to have faked nearly a whole hemisphere of the Moon, with all the detail, and kept it all consistent. That's no small feat of fakery. And then yet, with the god-like master level of fakery, they complain they make silly errors with the Moonwalk photos and TV footage.

I saw it in the theatres...I thought they ruined the ending by making it a happy one (well one of them lived). It would have been a lot more in with the theme to have them get caught and Hal Holbrook (the big bad) get the news and smile as he sits with the astronaut's family at the funeral.

If you don't know the plot - Space mission to Mars can't be made to work so they fake it to keep the program running. As they are smuggling the astronauts out to the re-entry point in the South Pacific the capsule burns up on re-entry...and they can't let the astronauts go. They escape and are hunted down except the star and a scrappy reporter dude who arrive at the funeral.

One of the silly argument is "But muh Van Allen belts would've killed them!".

After that Fox special, James Van Allen himself responded in email to someone associated with that, in his late '80s (he died in 2006, IIRC). It was basically, "No, Big Dummy, it wouldn't have killed them and didn't, we all actually you know, thought about this, planned for it, and designed the trajectory around it..."

Also, read about Armstrong nearly getting killed testing the "flying bedstead", the simulator for the lunar module.

He walked away from that, and returned to his office a few hours to complete some paperwork that had been piling up.

More ideas to pack the vote: in India people ride on top of busses. We can do this, to increase the vote! Just maintain a sense of decorum. Cry ICE now and then, like you need ice for your drink as it could chase some offal off the voting site. I think this is a good, solid plan if SCOTUS and judges are messing with the legal vote.

I just found the clip of Tousi's of IRGC eating ant pizza.

My first question would've been, "Who put this here? Is it poisoned? It's a trick!!!" I said this to my husband and he commented he wonders about the weird things that I focus on.

I mean, never mind the ants (extra protein unless fire ants). How did the pizza get there? Was there a pizza truck accident? Pizza fairies? A like minded Iranian dropped it off as charity?

I realize if I was starving I might eat road pizza with ants, or I probably would not. I hope I never find out.

My favorite though are the telepathic cat partners of the human telepaths who guard the ships in deep space travel from the Rats/Dragons in The Game of Rat and Dragon. One of the great short stories of all time. The cats go out in little craft steered by the humans and swat the controls that send light bombs to kill them because only they are fast enough to do it.

Andy Ngo: My Sources Tell Me the Bend, Oregon School Shooter Is Part of the Satanic Child Grooming Cult "764"

Andy Ngo
@MrAndyNgo

According to my sourcing, federal investigators are seeking to confirm whether the 16-year-old Bend, Ore. school sh--ter (Griffin John), who killed four women and children, was radicalized by the 764 terror cult. This is a leading suspicion.

If this is confirmed, it would be the second Oregon school attack this year by a youth believed to be radicalized by the satanic terror cult. The 764 network is known for grooming teens to produce s--xual abuse content, carry out animal-killing blood rituals, and mass m--rder s--icides.

Ngo wrote about the sentencing of a member of the "764" cult in August.

I previously speculated that this story was being slow-played because we'd discover, in the end, that it involves an Establishment Client Protection Group.

The member just sentenced is, yes, trans.


Trans Leader in '764' Satanic Cult That Grooms Children for Sexual Abuse, Torture, Terrorism and Blood Rituals Sentenced to 77 Years in Prison

A trans-identifying member of a violent, satanic cult-like network has been federally sentenced in Tennessee for violent and sexual crimes against minors.


KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A transgender member of a violent satanic death cult network was sentenced to 77 years in federal prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to sexually exploiting and terrorizing underage girls around the world and grooming them into mutilating themselves and torturing animals to death.

Kyle William Spitze, 27, pleaded guilty in late 2024 to producing child sexual abuse material (CSAM), possessing and accessing with the intent to view CSAM and helping distribute animal torture videos, but he wasn't sentenced until Wednesday by U.S. District Judge Thomas A. Varlan. The judge sentenced him to the entirety of what the prosecution had sought.

Spitze is a leader of the "HarmNation" group, which is part of the "764" satanic accelerationist cult-like online network.

The decentralized network of mostly teen boys and young men grooms its minor victims into producing child sex abuse material of themselves, mutilating their bodies, abusing or killing animals and, in some cases, committing suicide and/or killing others. They often target victims on online gaming platforms popular with children, such as Minecraft and Roblox.

Ngo doesn't call this a trans cult. He just notes that at least one member is trans.

And of course this isn't confirmed yet, merely suspected.

This story provides truth like a magnifying glass...it's more than trans, which is also not from God because it involves children, it's demonic right under our noses.

I don't much care if you are an adult and want to do gross stuff with your bodies, just don't bother me with it.

When it comes to children that's an entirely differnet matter to fight and defend.

There are not enough millstones in 2026.

I won't dig deeper into this cult I've never heard of.

I don't want to know as I have something new to pray against.

70 If you asked AI a couple months ago, "In the last decade, who commits more vandalism, violence and lethality....those on the Left or those on the Right?" AI (GEMINI) would tell you that the Right commits more of those items.

Today, if you ask it the same question it changes its answer to say that while the Right doesn't commit as many incidents as the Left, their actions are more lethal. They use the Capitol Building protests as a reference to back that statement up (an incident in which no one on the Right committed any lethal acts). They totally ignore the "transgender" mass shootings. They don't even reference what is going on in the EU at present.

154 The kid in the top photo has an eating disorder as well as very dark thinking. Maybe old fashioned manic/drepressive schizo. Drugs/booze/never sleeping. His eyes are dead. Did his mother not see it? Due to her own issues, daily seeing him, and/or denial?

Social media has done no favors for our children as evil preys on them. Sometimes overt and sometimes with hidden messages in cartoons. Sometimes with kids they hang out with/music/ video games.

Twenty years ago this depravity and evil were not common with our sons, thank God. They had peers with ear piercings (which we mocked, and I offered to do it for free, but that they needed to realize their uncles on both sides would rip 'em out), and random tattoos. One girl elder son briefly dated had a tongue piercing which grossed me out. NOTHING like this. We knew what they were doing, when they'd be home, etc. They had standards we set.

I sort of hope he was a member of this cult and bring that evil to daylight to warn parents everywhere.

Add this number to tattoos on people you avoid with pentagrams, "tears" near eyes, gang symbols, prison tats.

I won't forget it, altho I am rarely in the wild or among people like this.

215 Jailhouse Rock is a very good movie and both Elvis and his co-star, Judy Tyler were fantastic in it. She could act, sing and dance. She was signed to do a Broadway play and had a couple weeks til it started. She and her new husband bought a new car and headed across country to see the USA. She was killed in a crash. She was 25 or 26.

It's been known for decades that if a person has a predisposition for becoming schizophrenic (in men, usually early 20's) pot will increase the problem.

Some of these kids start early. It screws them up as well as making them antisocial and lazy. Their prefrontal cortex is not mature til 25yrs.

Thankful I was the strictest Mom in the neighborhood. Elected by one of or son's friends and his mother. This friend was not as successful as my sons.

A son of one of my best friends signed a yearbook and called me, Sgt "Lastname." I puffed up in pride and flatulence. Because I did not let them run like ferals on church trips.

Raising kids is hard work. Raising successful kids even harder. Grandchildren are our reward, who are being raised very well.

My experience from my pre-sinsemilla stoner days was that about 50% of stoners turned paranoid. Especially if you didn't smoke with them. You could be snorting lines off the kitchen counter, but if you weren't smoking, you were obviously a narc.

I quit that shit around the same time as the sinsemilla revolution that turned weed onto the path towards being the modern sooper-drug that made the brown acid look like a decaf latte. Making your recreational drugs that powerful also makes it extremely difficult to self-regulate your high. That's what makes fentanyl so dangerous.

In 1968 my high school chemistry teacher would put drops of nitrogen tri-iodide on the floor before he went home.
It would dry overnight and the first period students would detonate the mini-landmines which resulted in a pop and a small cloud of purple smoke.
It got the heart pumping!

Top-Ranking Virginia State Senator Arrested by Feds for Trafficking Marijuana, Money Laundering, and, Get This, Fraud

This arrest is totally "racist" according to the drug dealer and her Democrat Media supporters.

It's another Gentle Giant Dindu Nuffin sitch.


Virginia Democratic state Sen. L. Louise Lucas has been charged with allegedly having a leading role in a criminal enterprise that traffics marijuana and launders the proceeds, according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday.

The indictment charges Lucas and six other defendants, including several of her relatives, the Justice Department said in a statement. The 82-year-old lawmaker has surrendered to authorities, a Justice Department spokesperson told the Associated Press.

Authorities in May searched Lucas' hometown office and a cannabis shop in which she had a stake.

...


They allegedly orchestrated a scheme over years to enrich their own criminal marijuana enterprise, and Lucas used her position as chairwoman of the state's "Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee to insulate the enterprise from criminal scrutiny and influence legislation to financially benefit group membvers, according to Patel.


The feds also arrested seven of her criminal family members.


Virginia State Sen. Louise Lucas and various family members are in federal custody today, up on charges of racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy with intent to distribute marijuana, conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy to commit audit services fraud, and maintaining a drug-involved premises.

...

FBI Director Kash Patel said at a press conference today, "As alleged by the Attorney General, Ms. Lucas, for the last nearly five years, accumulated nearly $5 million in ill-gotten gains through her criminal enterprise."

When Lucas was heard in a phone tap calling the (alleged!) criminal enterprise her "last chance at generational wealth," she really meant it:


The Old Dominion lawmaker-turned-lawbreaker (allegedly!) is 82 years old, so any worthwhile sentence would likely be a life sentence. Ironic, given that in an intercepted phone call with an alleged coconspirator earlier this year, Lucas can be heard saying, "I've gotten too old to not be greedy."


Fake moderate communist Deep State operative Abigail Spannberger, the media, and this pot-dealer's lawyers are complaining that the pot dealer was elected just before an election.


Governor Abigail Spanberger
@GovernorVA

1h

I have read the charging document alleging a series of criminal acts by a member of the Virginia Senate. In our American system of justice, people are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and that is true for Senator L. Louise Lucas. She and her family deserve the opportunity to present their defense and speak to the allegations presented.

The timing of this indictment undermines the U.S. Department of Justice's previously longstanding policy of not taking legal actions -- to include indictments or significant investigative steps -- close to an election and sadly, this timing further erodes the trust the American people deserve to have in the Department of Justice.


Maybe, but not her election, these mob lawyers fail to mention: She's not up for reelection this year.

They also fail to mention that this investigation began "under" Joe Biden. Or let's just say he was the guy napping in the Oval Office when it began.

She immediately cried -- prepare yourselves -- Muh Racism and said that she's used to being arrested for being an illegal drug trafficker and money launderer because "I grew up under Jim Crow."

Jim Crow? Man, this is Jim Eagle!

I knew the guy who basiclaly started the whole "legalize weed" movement in California. He was up-front about it:

His goal was to make cigarettes illegal, and to thne make pot legal, simply to "rub the conservatives' faces in it" because "tobacco is right-wing" and "marijuana is left-wing." That's it. They just want to "shock the squares" and reverse all cultural norms simply as a juvenile act of rebellion.

Also, he and everyone else involved in the movement was a pot-head. They just want to get high. There is no consistency, rationality, or logic behind it, other than the desire to become intoxicated.

61 Before the recent BroFo and Lucas prosecutions I saw some Dems mulling over whether a politician should be charged late in the election season if he was accused of a crime.

Their answer was it would be immoral to NOT do so if the defendant was named Trump because people would change their vote if they knew the defendant was a crook.

Two black people get voted off in a row. The remaining two black women have a struggle session about how racism is everywhere, the one Chad (Jonathan), actually pushes back, "You're calling me racist," which instantly deflates the whole thing and gets the chicks to end up saying "racism is in the air," effectively.

And, then the black girl who started the whole thing is the next one voted off.

Dear lord...the American public, in the aggregate, has never cared about Ukraine. Like, at all.

There were pockets, but they were tiny exceptions.

To think that it's a matter of huge importance to the American public now, four years after it started, is inane. The two countries can keep killing each other until there's no one left for all the 90% of America cares.

Daily Kos stripper news...

A new wave of polling came out on Wednesday and Thursday that—if it bears out—would mean Republicans are in for apocalyptic losses on Election Day.

The surveys came from respected polling outfits, all of which found that President Donald Trump’s abysmal approval ratings threaten even Republicans in House districts that Trump won by double-digit margins in 2024.

For example, a new Franklin & Marshall College poll in Pennsylvania released Thursday morning found Democrats with a 14-percentage-point lead on the generic ballot in the state. That should be more than enough for Democrats to flip all four GOP-held seats currently rated as competitive by The Cook Political Report: Pennsylvania’s 1st, 7th, 8th, and 10th districts

210 Yet another one........

The latest defendant has been convicted in Minnesota's sprawling Somali-linked Feeding Our Future fraud scheme.

Muna Wais Fidhin, 45, was found guilty of using $1 million of taxpayer dollars meant to feed hungry children to pay off her personal expenses on Wednesday, Fox 9 reported.

She was the 75th person to be charged by the US Attorney's Office in the Feeding Our Future fraud scheme last year, the largest COVID fraud case in the country.

Feeding Our Future was a nonprofit led by convicted fraudster Aimee Bock that stole $250 million in federal funds from the Federal Child Nutrition Program by using other companies, such as Fidhin's, to launder the money.

Federal prosecutors said Fidhin enrolled her company, M5 Cafe, which was located inside a hospital, in the Federal Child Nutrition Program under the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future in 2020.

212 201 I dunno. How do you reconcile the genetic polls with what is actually occurring on the ground. At this point you have actual EV data and trends. The only thing missing is Election Day data which I suppose is a bit of a horseshoe. But that being said one might think you could do some basic extrapolations and get reasonably closer than a poll of randos, most of whom probably lied to you or were just made up out of thin air, as we are discovering.

Polling has entered hedging phase.

All Texas polls are now within the margin of error, for instance. "You must trust the polls!" Well, the polls say the race is a toss up now, not a Talarico win like you insisted for 4 straight months.

How to explain that? Polling showing Talarico up by 6 consistently for 4 months and then, suddenly, it's a tied race?

"Well, Republicans started paying attention, I guess."

No. The polling is fucked. It's a fake enterprise used to manipulate betting markets (70% of bettors on Kalshi are European and can't point to Texas on a map) to advantage insiders.

213 How do you reconcile the genetic polls with what is actually occurring on the ground.

The left/FNM argument is most Dem voters have decided to vote in person on election day because Trump discussed looking for fraud in mail in ballots, so even though Dem mail in/early votes are down they are all showing up in person on election day.

It's one of the few places you'll see this consistently. Some of them will even say out loud.

Generic has never been that high.
W, at or near that 22% positive approval, at the peak of the Iraq war "grim milestone" and all that bs, fresh off of trying to ram amnesty through over the objections of nearly every Republican was, IIRC, a 8 point gap. Maybe 12.

🚨 IT GETS WORSE: Federal prosecutors say the Louise Lucas enterprise didn't stop at marijuana.

According to the U.S. Attorney's office in the Eastern District of Virginia, agents recovered both illegal narcotics AND firearms when they searched properties tied to the operation.

They say one of the enterprise's businesses was also used to scam a COVID-era loan program.

The prosecutor called it "a criminal enterprise operating in plain sight."

Prosecutors say her relatives and associates conspired to cash in on her legislation, her access, and her influence.

Drugs, guns, and taxpayer COVID money, all allegedly run out of the office of one of Virginia's most powerful Democrats.

Polls have been getting so bad for so long, it'll fall on deaf ears.

The point of the polling is money.

It gets Talarico to raise $60 million for a race he was never going to win. It gets Schumer to throw $1.2 million at the Mississippi senate race over bullshit. It gets people donating all over the place in the hope of winning races that have no chance.

And, it manipulates the betting markets. Shifting the odds towards one side by dozens of points. Buy on the opposite side (like Baris did int he Massie primary when he said Massie was winning in his poll but he bet on Massie losing, he admitted it on his podcast like it was a joke) for pennies on the dollar and make bank afterwards.

The polling industry is now just financial fraud.

All it took to stop them in 2024 was the RNC, from the outside, filing lawsuits timely.

Now, we have DOJ having spent nearly 2 years getting voter roll cleanups, and RNC can still do it's thing.

Cheating won't go away. Never will. There will never be 0 cheating.

But it won't be worse than it was in 2024.

Doesn't mean that Republicans win every race, mind you. But if Ossoff in Georgia runs several points behind expectations, well, that visit from the FBI and DNI to Fulton County's election offices probably did something.

I don't think you need to kill yourself but actually looking at the information that is pouring out that proves this is much bigger than you seem to think it is and realize this country was hamstrung a few short years ago by a smaller but a still very well organized BLM/antifa riot across America abetted by Democrat politicians and this one is bigger.

There are still millions of illegals in this country. We are seeing the Democrat Party being taken over by communists. Their goal is to cause a confrontation between Trump and a bunch of Democrat states and they've proven it's very easy for them to have riots on demand in blue states.

350 I use to frequent a few long-gone political forums back around 2000 - 2005 or so. It was an international forum so there were a lot of Americans, a few Canadians, Brits, Australians, Germans, and other various tribes and allegiances on a somewhat busy board that got into some pretty heated 100+ post discussions on occasions.

Nearly all of the foreigners, I think there were one or two who were conservative, an Aussie and a Brit, were leftists/progressives types.

All the lefty foreigners were absolutely certain Americans were the most racist, bigoted on the planet, especially the conservatives, because of recent American history.
The issue of illegal immigration came up even back then and they piled on a poster for writing "Wetback" and it turned into another example of the cruelty of the Americans.

And I always thought back then, seeing, even back then, the amount of Muslims immigrants that every one of their countries were allowing in and I knew, one day, that they'd figure America out real quick once this "Multi-Culti" attitude they loved was going to come back to bite them.

I bet all those shitlibs on that forum are finally understanding what Americans have been dealing with.

Despite the reapportioned districts, our expectation given these results is that the Democrats will gain at least 30 seats in the House. They also have a shot at winning at least six Senate seats and flipping control in a full wave.

This assumes Democrats win in Texas, Ohio, Maine, Iowa, Alaska and Kansas. And hold on to seats in Georgia, Michigan, New Hampshire, and Minnesota.

Yes, its complicated. But not even Pritzker can do anything of note outside of Chicago. If they show up to burn down any other place the county sherriffs will start arresting and shooting before they know what happened.

They've got no juice outside of a handful of big large metropolitan areas that under blue rule. They go anywhere else, locals will deal with them. Very strongly. There won't be immediate bail, and there won't be help from local politicians.

It's a threat, with no real bite, because the people it harms aren't on our side, so frankly I don't give a damn. And when Mayor Johnson refuses Trump's help to stop the rioting in Chicago - Trump just lets it burn, and watches Pritzker's political hopes go up in flames with them.

Disney Groomer Corporation's Propaganda Division: There Is No Evidence -- NONE! -- Connecting Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood or Any Other Islamic Extremist Group

ABC "News" are just mob lawyers for the Democrat Party.

Ben Shapiro
@benshapiro

2h

"Without providing evidence?"

El-Sayed literally signed a letter in 2012 in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. His campaign refuses to explain it.

Even the New York Times admits this evidence:

nytimesletterabdulrahman.jpg


His sister said his family was MB. His father in law, who is a founding member of ISNA -- an offshoot of the MB -- donated hundreds of thousands to his campaign. There is not a single anti-MB measure he supports.

He says about Islamic terrorists trying to murder Jewish kindergarteners, "Hurt people hurt people," and equates Dearborn-based terrorists trying to kill schoolkids with the IDF's targeted killing of Hezbollah members.

He was caught on tape during this campaign saying he wouldn't say anything about Ayatollah Khamenei's death because too many of his constituents were upset about it.

He campaigns with Hasan Piker, who says Hamas is better than Israel and speaks warmly of Hezbollah.

There is no more thoroughly sourced claim in politics than that El-Sayed is sympathetic to radical Islam and connected to Islamic extremists.

Ed Morrissey notes some more evidence, which ABC hides from its audience.

. I did a roundup earlier this week, in fact, of the evidence that ABC News and all of its reporters, editors, and fact-checkers missed in order to air these bald-faced lies:

Let us count the ways in which El-Sayed connects with the Muslim Brotherhood, especially financially:

Father-in-law Tayeb Jukaku sits on the boards of CAIR and ISNA, both unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation money-laundering case that funded Hamas and both subsidiaries of the Muslim Brotherhood. Jukaku has also funded a super PAC backing El-Sayed, where the money's origins can be hidden from public exposure.

El-Sayed had to scrub his public praise for Imam Abdelhamid Algizawi, a local cleric whose sermons praised Hamas leaders, also a Muslim Brotherhood subsidiary.

El-Sayed appeared repeatedly with another Dearborn imam, Mohammad Ali Elahi, who turns out to be a former Iranian IRGC official who idolized Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

El-Sayed appeared at the opening of a mosque headed by Hassan Qazwini in June. Qazwini urged his congregants to vote for El-Sayed to "deal the Zionists a blow," and praised Iran for having "stood firm" against the United States.

El-Sayed spent Labor Day weekend at the ISNA convention in Detroit, the one in which one speaker promised that "America is going down." Again, ISNA is a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The New York Post and The Midwesterner reported in August that El-Sayed's mother helped launder money to al-Qaeda and the Taliban while working for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA) from 1999 until at least 2004. Some of the money that IARA moved funded Hamas too, which is -- again -- a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Note well that I haven't even mentioned Hasan Piker in this list.

Well, there was a story yesterday about how ballot harvesting operations have 40% budget shortfalls, so that sort of thing is part of it.

The other is genuine black turnout issues. Boomer blacks are the most loyal, and they're dying. Younger generations vote at far lower rates. Blacks have also been shafted more than once in the Democrat primaries this year in very public fashion, mostly with Crockett in TX (there was also El-Sayed in MI who was the clear racial disfavored candidate based on black precinct voting which HEAVILY favored doughy white girl, methinks blacks aren't huge fans of Arab Muslims), and I assume it's having a knock on effect across the national black community telling them to check out because the D party doesn't appreciate them.

Also, several years of the D party publicly making it clear that illegals and Muslims are more important now.

They're not turning R. They're just checking out.

It's a "we'll see" situation.

Ossoff can't like what he's seeing, but there are 10 more days of EV to maybe reverse things or even just stymie it so that the heavy-R election day can't swamp him enough to take him out.

I'd love Ossoff to be a surprise loss. It would be hilarious.

The more he denies the undeniable it proves the MB is so toxic that even a jihadi would run. That creates smoke which looks like fire.

118 Sorry to rehash, but I just realized something, from the Ilhan Nur Said Elmi thread:

Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. THIS was not the name she put on her sworn affidavit to register as a candidate for the US House of Representatives. So, Perjury (both State Level and Federal Level). But, that's not the point.

The point is that there really could have been a major "constitutional crisis" ( an overused term that I'm not fond of).

H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed by a single House vote (215-214) Every democrat voted against it. Two republicans (Massie and Davidson) voted against it. One republican voted "present". Now, imagine if they had been able to defeat that bit with 2 more republicans voting against. ICE and Border Sec. doesn't get funded.

And, one of those votes that defeated the legislation would have been an individual (Ilhan Nur Said Elmi) who was not qualified to serve or vote.

And then there's the justice stuff that led to Iryna's killer being on the streets.

Cooper's far less popular than his last statewide election, and the electorate has shifted heavily away from the Democrat party since his last election in 2020.

But...early voting did see a very, VERY big Democrat lead form on day one, ahistorically big. But, the trend this year has been big Dem lead on day 1 dissipating no later than day 3 and then just steadily eroding ever after. We're seeing that in NC, and it's only a question of how far it goes.

No.

It's statewide.

Counties like Mecklenberg and Union don't report partisan data (voter registration is a thing in NC).

--------

I think he's trying to defuse the Dangerous Terrorist Stereotype. A gas station addul is mostly innocuous and friendly so by using the imagery he is actually replacing the true danger he represents.

That's why he didn't say "I'm not Mohammed Atta" because that would stick in a different way. Like "I am not a witch".

He wants you to look and see gas buddy because there isn't room psychologically for multiple strong stereotypes. To me it was targeted to give him an air of harmlessness, probably mostly to female voters.

Yes, my probably overly simpleminded take was he says early voting numbers are descriptive of what has already happened, ie, they are backward looking, and not forward looking, ie not predictive. Sampling error and turnout assumptions may be hornets nests for predictive polling but they are predictive, and therefore more helpful (he says) in trying to guess the future.

187 170 Yes, my probably overly simpleminded take was he says early voting numbers are descriptive of what has already happened, ie, they are backward looking, and not forward looking, ie not predictive. Sampling error and turnout assumptions may be hornets nests for predictive polling but they are predictive, and therefore more helpful (he says) in trying to guess the future.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at October 22, 2026 03:22 PM (FOL6z)

Yes, if you treat early voting like a simplistic problem instead of a part of a whole process.

"Democrats will win FL because they have a D+5 advantage in early voting," is stupid shit that leftist election Twitter does all day every day. Nevermind that the GOP will win election day in FL by 30 like they do every cycle.

"Democrats winning FL EV by 5 isn't enough to overcome the GOP's advantage on election day based on history of how well both parties do in both parts of the election season," is the better way.

Lots of people do the first. Fewer people do the second.

The fewer people who do the second have solid track records.

193 US contituion vs sharia (I had ai do it)

Constitutional supremacy: Article VI makes the Constitution and federal law supreme; a competing legal authority could not displace them.
Religious establishment: Government adopting a religious legal code as its own could conflict with the First Amendment’s bar on establishing religion.
Freedom of religion: Coercing religious observance—or punishing people for leaving or rejecting a faith—would conflict with free-exercise protections.
Equal protection: Rules that assign different civil rights or legal status based on religion or sex could conflict with constitutional equality guarantees.
Due process: Punishments or proceedings that bypass fair procedures, impartial decision-makers, or other due-process protections would be unconstitutional.

Cruel and unusual punishment: Punishments that violate the Eighth Amendment could not be imposed, regardless of religious justification.
Speech and expression: Criminalizing criticism, religious disagreement, or other protected expression would conflict with First Amendment protections.
Limits on government power: A religious authority exercising public power without constitutional authorization would raise separation-of-powers and accountability problems.
Marriage and family rights: State rules that deny protections or legal remedies guaranteed under U.S. law could be challenged under constitutional and statutory protections.
No religious veto over civil law: Religious beliefs do not automatically exempt someone from neutral laws; exemptions depend on the applicable law and circumstances.

203 Linus,
Where ev exists, it is solid data that polling isn't . While the assumption is that ev will follow party lines versus polling claiming to be a representative sample. Polarized voting since trump really means party defections are low, even more so since the Dems nationalized this election forcing Dem candidates to rigid party messaging to prevent far left partisans from staying home.

Ideally a pollster should adjust their likely voter weights to who have showed up early to vote. I suspect some have.

Real weakness on EV is Indy voter breakout, gets complicated but Indy are actually leaners that vary by state. There you have to know past history of counties and precincts and get a handle on r versus d leaner turnout and votes.

It is sort if a move against Darline.
I live in SC and there are attack ads coming left and right from both sides, constantly.

I watched a few hours if local TV with my brother and his wife around dinner time last night and I swear we saw about 15 Annie Andrews attacking Darline for being a Swamp creature getting money from defense contractors, big pharma, and data centers. Then Annie stands in her doctor outfit in another ad that she does not support transgender girls (boys) in girls sports, or transgender treatment and surgeries for children.

Darline isn’t attacking Andrews directly in her ads.
Instead, the PAC ads are doing it for her. These ads accuse Andrews of everything she denies in her ad about trans kids.

Darline’s own ads are Trump endorsed her and smiling, happy, faces and sunshine and roses.

This is the Dems trying to make Darline out as a hypocrite on LGBTQ issues.

230 The subterranean lizard people beat us to the moon!

A hole on the Moon just turned out to be the front door to a 50 km tunnel.

Japan’s Kaguya orbiter first spotted it. A pit about 50 metres wide and 50 metres deep, sitting in the Marius Hills on the Moon’s near side.

Then JAXA pointed the probe’s radar underground. The echoes came back with something huge: a lava tube roughly 100 metres wide, running about 50 km, and still intact. No collapse.

Scientists think it was carved by volcanic activity around 3.5 billion years ago. There may even be ice or water locked in the rocks inside.

That’s why JAXA thinks it could become a lunar base. Shelter from radiation, micrometeorites and brutal temperature swings, all built in.

But that there is some evidence she supports the transgender craze, or dud, kinda of cuts that positive at the knees.

Darline isn’t a lawyer either, and while I would have preferred a real primary without a Graham, I believe she is a more loyal vote in the Senate for Trump than her brother was.

Lava tubes are common here on Earth, too, and the mechanism of their formation is pretty much self-evident. A lave flow freezes on top, insulating the fluid lave below from freezing, for a while. Eventually, though, it all begins to freeze, save for some areas, and the fluid lava runs out, leaving an empty channel behind. You can find similar channels under melting glaciers. With much lower gravity, lava tubes on the Moon are less likely to collapse.

Someone ought to sit him down to view the video posted by the Hispanic woman who owns a cleaning service sounding off on how she refuses to work for folks from South Asia because they are, for starters, untrustworthy and deceptive.

There was a link to an on-line poll, too, which asked "Who would you rather deal with: migrants from Latin America or migrants from South Asia (i.e., India / Pakistan)?" The outcome had the Latin Americans pounding the Indians and Pakistanis into the dust.

303 Early voted in TX a couple of days ago, around noon.
The line was fairly long (but not interminable) for mid-cycle early voting. I take this as a good sign, as my precinct is heavily Republican.
Interestingly, they've changed from electronic-assisted voting to pure paper ballot, where you have to fill in the oval with a pen. This, IMHO, is a downgrade. The prior electronic-assisted method was nearly perfect--you voted via a touch-screen, but the machine then printed out a human-readable ballot (that you could verify to be correct) that you then fed into the tabulator.

That’s what Kemp did to become governor in Georgia. Then threw out the newly purchased voting system to be replaced with “Dominator” voting machines (named changed to protect the guilty, who sue).

But I would think with all the decades of rumors and him constantly in the spotlight -- and hated by the left and their allies -- there would be more definitive proof than some rando rentboys' say-so after his death.

The guy spent the last 20 years of his life in a world where everyone has a video camera.

"If Obama and Biden had not helped the Mullahs develop their military, Iran would have been easy, and despite Trump's energy friendly policies, Dem governors and past Dem regulations are still hamstringing American energy and diesel refining, and if you give the Dems more power they will makes these things even worse".

Posted by: Maroon at October 22, 2026 02:06 PM (+l6fP)

====

The embodiment of the GOP is that they got over their NeverTrumpism and became Trump's staunchest ally in Congress, being key in getting Trump's agenda through the legislature, especially the OBBB which tripled ICE's budget and appropriations through 2028, making the deportation machine both very large and untouchable by the ongoing budget dramas?

243 Look, it’s not really hard to figure out that Democrats despise individual liberty and in particular The Bill of Rights. They have attacked free speech, the right to bear arms, the sanctity of your home, religious beliefs, and the list of their attacks goes through just about every one of the ten amendments.

Then Democrats formula is to use pathos arguments to try and convince voters their opponents are the ones who believe what they do, when it’s really projection meant to confuse you.

But I think most people aren’t falling for the pull my finger joke anymore. Most.

Georgia turnout today is very terrible btw. Dems really have seemingly suppressed their own voters with their media hyping up flipping Kansas

12:30pm -52.148 ( Down 44% from last Thursday)

White: 60.2%
Black: 24.3% !!!"

Black turnout should be 30% or so total through EV to give Ossoff a comfortable enough position to win. I think that we're getting close to black burnout being 30% through all of EV now with another couple weeks left of early voting where it keeps going down every day.

The only question now is: how low can it go?

Listen, you can accept that 2024 wasn't an intentional loss on the Democrat's part and that fighting back by the RNC worked to blunt it, and that without the DOJ or money advantage, then Democrats can't make the situation from 2024 better, or you can think that Democrats intentionally gave up the imperial presidency and all of its powers so they could do impeachment theater...maybe.

All the polls show blacks and youth are going to turn out for 10th year of voting against Trump at the same levels as the first year!

Just because this is the 10th Anniversary of Hate Trump and the Dems have run on nothing else for 10 years does not mean that this year--more than ever before!--they are not motivated to turn out to stop Trump.

I had a similar reaction to your post as TJM did, but I understand your point as you explained.

I am also not willing to get too excited - but the trends are moving very strongly in only one direction. The normal cheat centers are under DOJ watch. I guess the only thing we could get sideswiped by is if EV has changed significantly as an indicator from the last few cycles - nothing in politics is stagnant - or if there is still a way to get massive mail in votes inserted when the eyes are much sharper. Because it looks like it is going to have to be massive mail ins to make up the growing distance.

Months back I predicted we hold House and Senate and have not revised, and only also that Sayed wins or "wins". And have not revised.

So it's not like I've been going around screaming all is lost and we are gonna lose. I have made exactly two predictions. I think Talarico loses too but that's hardly a prediction. But I will forever be on high alert for The Cheat.

Well, there was a story yesterday about how ballot harvesting operations have 40% budget shortfalls, so that sort of thing is part of it.

The other is genuine black turnout issues. Boomer blacks are the most loyal, and they're dying. Younger generations vote at far lower rates. Blacks have also been shafted more than once in the Democrat primaries this year in very public fashion, mostly with Crockett in TX, and I assume it's having a knock on effect across the national black community telling them to check out because the D party doesn't appreciate them.

Also, several years of the D party publicly making it clear that illegals and Muslims are more important now.

They're not turning R. They're just checking out.

489 Do you think the black vote is direct or "indirect"? I'm convinced that a vast majority of blacks don't vote at all, and that they are the staple for applied fraud (early morning bulk drops). Their vote is not nearly as important as their registration.

I've lived in some predominately black neighborhoods up in Boston, and Philly. I never ever saw more than 2 or 3 people at the precinct on election day.

I just finished the history of the Byzantine Empire that my son gave me for Christmas. It was really good, but the author used that annoying term "sex worker" to describe the pre-imperial career of Empress Theodora, Justinian I's wife.

Courtesan is probably closer when she was successful the earlier years when she was doing lewd acts on a stage (supposedly) could be a different title.

Of course a lot of that comes from the snake Procopius, but you work with what you have. But histories of that era have tropes that women they mention were either saintly and perfect or more whorish that actual whores...see Messalina and her contest with the prostitute.

Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, aka "Ilhan Omar," When Asked If She Married Her Brother: "NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE"

What I'm about to say is very obvious but you've come to expect that from me.

When Democrats are lying, and realize they're about to be exposed as lying, they begin shifting their denials from objective denials to mere subjective denials.

The Clintons, of course, are infamous for this.

Bill Clinton first denied, objectively, that he had had no sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky: "I never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."

Later, when it was proven that he That Woman Miss Lewinsky had performed both fellatio and analingus on him, and that he had penetrated her vagina with a cigar, he claimed, in his mind -- subjectively -- that he didn't think that oral sex qualified as sex so in his completely subjective view of the world, they never had sex and he was telling the truth.

I mean, "oral sex" contains the word "sex" but Bill Clinton claims that, in his mind, in his subjective idiosyncratic worldview, he didn't know that "sex" included oral sex.

Because he was doing a lot of parsing and quibbling and evasion in his testimony in the Paula Jones suit, lawyers asked him something that he could not parse his way out of later: They asked him if he was ever even alone with Monica Lewinsky. He claimed, objectively, that he had never been alone with her. Never.

When it was proven that he was getting his chocolate starfish serviced by Lewinsky while using her as the world's sweatiest humidor, he claimed that because there were many people in the huge building called the White House, he didn't subjectively believe he was alone with Monica Lewinsky when she was blowing him in the Oval Office. "Maybe I was alone with her," he later conceded, "but I never thought we were."

Hillary Clinton perjured herself when she claimed, as an objective fact, that she never, ever worked on the Whitewater account. When it was proven that she had worked on it, and had committed perjury, she denied having subjective knowledge that the account was the Whitewater account. She claimed she only knew the account by its billing code, which was something like "WHC," and had no idea whatsoever that this referred to the Whitewater account. She is claiming that in none of the many hours she billed for Whitewater did she come across a single document containing the word "Whitewater."

And of course when she violated the public records act by denying the people of the United States the full documentation of all of her correspondence, by hiding her email communications in a secret bathroom server, she claimed she hadn't done this to keep her communications from the public. Why, she didn't do it for that reason! She just was in love with her Blackberry and this was the simplest way to handle Blackberry messages.

I didn't commit espionage by deliberately using an unsecure server which was invisible to the American public (and federal prosecutors) but very visible to the Chinese. I had no idea that would happen! I just wanted to keep my Recipes and Yoga Routines on a special server, for convenience.

No "intent!"

The Clintons' defense is always: We didn't Knowingly Know what we Doingly Did.

I could say that "All liars do this," but that's not true: It is insulting to the hearer to lie in this way, claiming that you didn't know what you were doing when you did it, so most liars avoid this high-risk Lie on Top of a Lie.

But Democrats know their supporters are vicious cultists who know they're lying but just need any possible excuse to support the lie, and so will never convict them of perjury if they play the We Didn't Knowingly Know What We Doingly Did Card -- "no intent!" -- so they do push this absurd non-defense.

So now we come to Ilhan "Omar," real name Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, who married her actual, biological brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. She knows the feds have her DNA and can easily prove she is Amhed's brother, so she shifts from her prior objective denials -- it's absurd and racist to accuse me of marrying my brother -- to a mere subjective denial -- If I married my brother, I didn't know it was my brother when I married him.


Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., denied Wednesday that she married her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, to commit immigration fraud and pushed back against claims that they are related.

But when asked if there's any familial relation with her ex-husband, Omar admitted, "Not to my knowledge."

The interview marked the Somali-born congresswoman's first time speaking with the media since federal agents searched her Washington, D.C., residence on Oct. 12. The congresswoman's office has not responded to Fox News Digital's repeated requests for comment regarding the investigations and raid on her home earlier this month.




I Didn't Knowingly Know I Was Brotherly Marrying My Brother.

Oops!

Oopsie!

How awkward!

There's other evidence for this. Ilhan Nur Said Elmi had a third child with her real Muslim husband. This is the one she was married to when she also married her brother. She later "divorced" Ahmed Nur Said Elmi when he stopped seeking a Green Card -- reportedly, he withdrew his application when they began questioning him about his marriage -- and remained married to her real Muslim husband.

Ahmed Nur Said Elmi commented on a Facebook post announcing her third child.

Scott Johnson reported on this strange comment. Elmi said, of this little girl, that she was "freshfrom the vagina" -- which is bizarre enough -- but also called her "my niece."

Niece. Meaning, the daughter of your sister.

But I'm sure that Ilhan Nur Said Elmi will claim that in her village of Somalia "niece" means something other than "the daughter of my sister," like "Respected Flower" or some bullshit.

Like when she used to call her real father -- not the fake one, Omar, but the real one, Elmi -- "father" in social media.

But then claimed that in her particular village of Somalia, "Father" is just a term of respect you use for any man older than you.

Seems kind of disrespectful to your real father to call other men "father."

But she'll claim it. See, she didn't know, subjectively, that "niece" means "the daughter of my sister" or that "father" means "my male biological parent."

And remember how cocky she would be when she denied this in the past? She would cackle with her mouth wide open like a fish on a dock and laugh at the "racists" making this claim.

Well, she's not laughing now, is she? She's in tears as she says "not to my knowledge."

Early days, but one of the things that the GOPe being the washington generals is that it has made the dems irrational. It has made them unable to function in an adversarial environment. Now this also takes place at the same time that they are becoming more and more radicalized (so are we) but one of the reasons they have been able to become so radicalized is that they have operated in an environment of no push back.

For instance if Ilhan's brother was actually the son of the Omar man, and Ilhan is the daughter of Said Elmi it would not be incest, only immigration fraud. Either way she is completely corrupt and I'm rooting for the DOJ to be able to make a case and either deport her or get her convicted and sent to prison.

________

It's actually worse than that. The parties agreed to a definition of "sexual relations" for purposes of the deposition. The definition was very broad (of course) and approved by the court. It included any contact with genitalia in manner.

Clinton just straight up lied.

Incredibly, the opposing lawyers let him get away with it. Any lawyer with any skill at taking depositions knows you never take just one denial. You ask a broad question, then drill down in more specific questions.

It's inconceivable to me that the lawyers didn't ask him very specifically about "any kind of sex?" "No." "What about oral sex?" "No." "Did any part of her body ever touch your penis?" He probably would have still lied, but at least he wouldn't have had any excuses.

You also had the dems who did not want to get rid of their most charismatic guys. You also had a lot of GOPe who were probably getting knob shines from THEIR secretaries and lobbyists and they did not want the idea that Washington is just a great place for fat ugly talentless slobs who are married to get laid with pretty young gals.

90 More conservative Reddit for a change-

It was the softest of the softball interviews on a friendly channel (MS NOW’s Chris Hayes). And "not to my knowledge" is the best she could come up with. Is she going to claim she didn't know the guy is her brother when the DNA tests come back?

She so fucking cooked lmfao.
Quest: be a member of the religion of peace and don't marry a relative.
Challenge Level: impossible. 

Weird. I can confirm 100% that my wife is not my sister.

To be pedantic for the sake of accuracy: He did not ask if she married her brother. He asked “So you’re not related to him at all?” to which she responds, “Not to my knowledge”. Wouldn't want a "gotcha" moment if she married her third cousin twice removed.

If Trump actually manages to deport this wretched woman I will take back every bad thing I've ever said about him.

On X, they are running to her defense and saying she said it sarcastically because the question is absurd. If anyone ever need an example of cognitive dissonance, don’t look further

Lewinsky is the only one for whom I have any sympathy in this whole sordid mess.

The weirdness of that answer -- which actually might not be the answer to "Did you marry your brother?" -- is obscuring some of the more outstanding weirdness of that exchange.

She is literally claiming that some right-wing Somalis cooked up a conspiracy on the somalispot blog and rounded up some other random people to make claims that she had introduced him as her brother. She claims she doesn't know whether the somalispot blog still exists (it does) and she shrugs off these "random people" and conspiracists -- INSTEAD OF HAVING A TEAM OF LAWYERS ON THEM and blaming the whole story on Trump.

Another thing Hayes never asks for is a few clues about her personal life.

I nearly lost my breakfast reading about the Monica trick I didn't know about regarding Bill's rear door.

Our sons, told NOT to watch the hearings while we worked that summer (junior high age), of course they did. Had I not told them not to they probably would have watched cartoons.

I argued with the malignant narcissist attorney ex-friend in my life at the time (who had no children, possibly from abortions) of the bj stuff. She said, oh she of wisdom and childless, of course they knew about this! No, because they asked their Dad, beetch.

I would hate to have a Dim lying mind swirling in my head. Too hard to keep the lies straight.

Reading about Turban Tonya gave me a near headache. I guess in Somilia you have litters of children in polygamy and it's hard to keep family connections straight. Probably feed at a large trough with goats as their nannies.

Not legally, she had one recognized religiously but there was no license, as I understand it. When she divorced the brother, she supposedly reconciled with the first husband, but the reality is she never actually left him. I think she married him for real after the brother divorce? And then divorced him for the current husband? But that is memory over the ages of this story going around, so I would not swear to any of it.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

As gratifying as the prospect is of a Marine Le Pen and National Rally win in April's National elections in France, it is dangerous to assume that she will lead from the right in all matters.

Her economic philosophy is protectionist more than anything else, and her fiscal policies focus on redirection of government spending to citizens, rather than the more rational decreases that are vital to France's emergence from its budgetary disaster.

Will her immigration reforms do the job? Probably, but she is conspicuously quiet on any sort of remigration of citizens who have demonstrated antipathy toward France. And while she supports sharply decreasing legal immigration, she plans to "restrict" rather than abolish birthright citizenship.

Le Pen Extends Presidential Polling Lead as France Slides Into Chaos

According to Elabe, a French polling firm, Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally (RN) party, leads the field for the 2027 French presidential election, with 32 percent support. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the far-left France Unbowed party, is on 15.5 percent. Former French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, leader of Horizons, an establishment-aligned centrist party, also secured 15.5 percent. Raphaël Glucksmann, leader of the center-left eurofederalist Public Square party, secured comparable support, with 15 percent. This follows Glucksmann’s successful bid to obtain the endorsement of the Socialist Party after running in the party’s primary.

Is she going to win? Maybe, but don't count out the establishment elites of France who are terrified of a Le Pen win and will do anything to prevent it. Remember, she is still under what is essentially house arrest that has been stayed during appeal.

But the bigger question: is she the best candidate for France? And the answer is a resounding 'No." Eric Zemmour and his Reconquête party are clearly the best choice for a shot at an economically powerful and culturally healthy France.

And he is polling as an also-ran, so it just isn't in the cards, which is too bad, because he would truly throw the bums out!

Abolish "droit du sol" (automatic citizenship by birth in France)
Systematic expulsion of foreign criminals and illegal immigrants
Process asylum claims abroad (at embassies/consulates)
National preference in access to social benefits and public procurement
A €1,000 annual tax on employers hiring non-EU workers
Abolish family reunification and reform the AME (health coverage for undocumented migrants)
A referendum on immigration after the legislative elections
Suspend Schengen and reclaim national border control

Its easy to go from High Trust to Low Trust, just a few in-your-face betrayals and a constant stream of nihilistic black-pilling.

Moving from Low Trust to High Trust involves slaying your dragons, spiritual renewal and a complete ideological re-centering on transcendent moral authority.

That is why Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, those who didn't fully believe in the Bible agreed with the other Founders that the "Exodus From Europe" away from the tyranny of Rome and Royalty was a recapitulation of the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt.

That is, America is a divine black swan, never to be repeated again.

59 I know it sounds bad, but Le Pen and her party can be best described as 'Nationalist Democratic Socialist'.

She is typical left-wing French when it comes to the welfare state, unions, protectionism, etc.

The only real issues NR departs from the left on is immigration and the EU. They will be slightly more fiscally conservative, mostly because they have no choice with the bond market revolting, but they will never go full blown American capitalism.

If Le Pen wins she will face the same kind of friction and resistance that Trump has faced, and who knows how that will work out in riot-prone France.

She may be end up as a band-aid on a limb that's about to be amputated.

"In a street in Marseille, all businesses owned by Jews were set on fire. Businesses run by Muslims weren’t”

Posted by: JackStraw

The 3.5% rule is a political science concept stating that when at least 3.5% of a country's population actively and nonviolently participates in a sustained resistance movement or peak protest event, the government is very likely to fall or meet the movement's core demands.

Formulated in 2013 by Harvard political scientist Dr. Erica Chenoweth, based on an analysis of 323 violent and nonviolent political campaigns between 1900 and 2006.

In the U.S. population, 3.5% translates to approximately 12 million people. Advocacy groups like the Center for American Progress are actively teaching the rule to demonstrate that resisting authoritarian policies doesn't require a majority vote, but rather a dedicated, highly organized minority.

The "Hands Off" and "No Kings" Movements: Mobilizations against administration policies—such as the massive "No Kings" rallies—explicitly cite the 3.5% metric as their ultimate organizing target.

Sandy from the book City Primeval is a great example. Then when they adapted and ruined it for TV, the actress played the character entirely straight. Which meant boring and uninteresting.

Experts are overrated, but governing can still be hard and there will be traps.
Also, many people are compromised or have hidden agendas; shouting loudly doesn't mean they are competent or clean. See Carlson and Owens.
Such issues were also visible during Trump's first term. His second term is almost a miracle, so far.

That's a problem with a lot of leftists, especially the normie followers.
They have no real clue about how things work and what socialism does to a culture and economy. They just know they have to go along to get along and nod along and cheer like everybody else.

So when you start to question them, if you start getting into specifics and why what they believe is totally impossible, the fight or flight response kicks in and they go the arrogant aristocrat route who is too good to lower themselves to debate with you.

Then they insult you, either out loud or in their heads.

AI says, "While some critics or alternative media commentators may associate their academic work on civil resistance with foreign-backed political transitions (often referred to as "color revolutions"), Chenoweth’s actual research focuses on analyzing the historical data of past movements."

"Because Chenoweth directs the Nonviolent Action Lab—which studies how social science tools can support political transformations—their data is frequently studied by activists, community organizers, and political strategists worldwide."

Posted by: Bulg

Nope. Latin-American Wars of Independence. From Wiki:

"Manuel Atanasio Girardot Díaz (French: [atanazjo ʒiʁaʁdo]; May 2, 1791 – September 30, 1813) was a Neogranadine military officer and one of the heroes of the Colombian and Venezuelan wars of Independence. He is famous for having died during the Battle of Bárbula, trying to plant the republican flag on Bárbula Hill."

49 The historical content for the painting is unimportant. It could stand for any righteous rebellion and those committed to it, even to death. The dead and wounded, the broken swords, the pose of the dying Giradot, still resisting, against the bright sky and colorful flag (which s not damaged) makes the sacrifice all the more poignant. It is an effective, emotional painting that goes beyond the actual event.

I can imagine David doing this during the Napoleonic era.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave

Just after the ceasefire in Desert Storm, I flew up with my CG to our most forward Battalion. The oil well fires were raging and the smoke was going thousands of feet into the air. Tanks were still smoking, and there was the stench. We had been told not to fly the American flag so as to not offend our host nation and allies. The Battalion command post did so anyway. A small splash of red, white, and blue against the billowing black of smoke. Every one of us were wiping tears. Most beautiful thing ever!

125 An amusing anecdote to add to the "leftists are all hypocrites" pile.

Stuart Gordon, film director of the first Re-Animator and fairly far-left political voice, spent a few months discussing sequel ideas (Bride of Re-Animator) with his producer David Yuzna. However, Gordon's agent convinced him to not do the sequel because it wasn't good for his career to do a sequel.

So, Yuzna took over the writing on his own.

However, Gordon wasn't happy. Yuzna was using ideas that they had discussed together. If Yuzna was going to use those ideas, Yuzna had to pay Gordon.

Now, this is fairly standard stuff in the film industry, but Gordon is a radical leftist who hates capitalism. Who won't let a fellow creative, someone he worked well with, just have some ideas that they worked on together without causing problems, much less demanding personal lucre.

Extremely minor point of film history and an example of hypocrisy that will convince no one of anything other than that leftist love money for themselves no matter what they say. Still, it entertained me.

I realized in that moment it had been engineered to drive an addiction - and give the user an essentially totally fake experience of being engaged with others - and said nope.

I found it interesting when I made my account. Then it got flagged for suspicious activity - somehow - so I get zero interaction. That makes it significantly less addictive. I still look at stuff but not as compulsively and it's easier to walk away.

The wife says no way... she's just wearing sexy clothes for a party or something.

To prove his point, the man approaches the hooker and offers her $50 (intentionally low-balling it, because he doesn't want her to actually accept).

She refuses and tells him it's $200.

The man has been been proven right.

Later in the evening, the man and his wife are eating dinner in the hotel restaurant.

It's worth noting that they ran a first attempt at it last year (in the form of a military coup) with the Seditious Six, led by walking penis Mark Kelly. That failed because Pete Hegseth's done a decent job clearing out the dead wood in the services.

Do you remember the other day when the WaPo reported that "national security experts" were briefing governors and other state level pols on the possibility of Trump rigging the midterms and options for response? At least one of their tactics appears to be claiming Trump rigged the elections, call the federal government illegitimate and corrupt, you know like they do in all color revolutions, and have at least some states that are run by fine upstanding Democrats refuse to cooperate with the federal government.

Chaos, anarchy, an illegitimate government. Time for a fresh start to save our precious democracy.

The Morning Report — 10/22/26

ParisNFL.jpg

Good morning kids. As the late great Rodney Dangerfield once quipped "I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out," and that segues perfectly to in my opinion given everything that's happening in France, the most laughably ridiculous item of the day.

The country best known for its cuisine, its arrogance, and its readiness to surrender at the drop of a hat is scheduled to host a regular-season NFL game in Paris between the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game is still on for Sunday, October 25, in spite of the fact that the U.S. Embassy in France is warning Americans to avoid areas of unrest in the country.

The million-dollar question is, how do you avoid “unrest” if it decides to come to you? No doubt the orchestrators of the violence will know that disrupting an NFL football game in Paris will get the attention of America. With that in mind, you almost have to assume that the game already has the attention of the “mostly peaceful” violence planners. . . In the face of this, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell feels good about the security measures the league and the French government have in place for Sunday’s game. Of course, that doesn’t speak to the safety of every American fan who will be staying in the city but not under the same protection from armed guards as the players and coaches. You know, the paying customers who will have made the trip across the Atlantic for the game.

Hopefully those unlucky and stupid enough not to have cancelled their trip will be fortunate enough if all they encounter is a mostly peaceful hockey game breaking out or Muslim gang-raping on their way to the game.

And then we have the blathering of this emotionally disturbed yammering sewer rat:

On Tuesday, MS NOW’s The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell made the claim that “America lost the Cold War” due to President Trump’s recent diesel deal with Russia.  O’Donnell launched into his hunch that Trump “now has surrendered” to Vladimir Putin. Also in on the guesswork was foreign affairs analyst and Daily Beast columnist, David Rothkopf, who argued that the president has since gone soft on Russia, reversing all the progress from the Cold War with Trump “doing his bidding”

Funny but where was this douchebag when Jimmy Carter handed Iran over to the Mullahs, the Panama Canal over to Omar Torrijos and Zimbabwe over to Robert Mugabe while pressuring Israel to hand over chunks of its ancestral homeland to Islamic terrorists and on and on. And I'll bet he was as morose as Putin when the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed, much like Bernie Sanders and his fellow travelers in the Democrat Party, who are now hell bent for leather to re-establish Soviet-style rule here in America while alternately scheming to pack or dismantle the Supreme Court, abolish the Senate and in truth the Constitution amendment by amendment in the name of justice and democracy!

And because of all of that and the platform of most if not all of the current crop of Democrat candidates running in the midterms and sadly a horrifyingly large percentage if not overwhelming majority of their voters... Perhaps O'Donnell's statement that "America Lost the Cold War" might be closer to the truth than he thought, and certainly not in the way he thinks. It is he and everyone like him who has nearly brought us to our knees, so thank you and fuck you Lawrence O'Donnell.

So you can "stop the hammering" ... and the sickle-ing!!!!

Even staunch Lefty Bill Ackman has had enough.

Bill Ackman used to be a reliable vote for the Democrats. Today? Not so much. During a recent appearance on a podcast, Ackman described the Democrat Party as crazy, radicalized, and anti-American.

It is near to impossible for the average voter not to notice what Ackman is describing here, especially with the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

Good of Ackman to acknowledge this but whether he admits it or not, his party has always been this way, it's just that they did their best over the years to hide it and their totalitarian intentions, to varying degrees of success. Its record of destruction, dissolution and Anti-Americanism is well known, or at least used to be until successive generations of American school children were prevented from properly learning about it from an educational system that is now fully a Leftist brainwashing and propaganda machine.


“Reading, writing, arithmetic, and resistance? 

Students across the country have been taught to join the “resistance” against “settler colonialism” while being taught a sanitized view of Islamic jihad, a damning probe into major school districts revealed Wednesday. House Republicans released the findings of their investigation into multiple school districts after complaints of teachers pushing anti-Israel activism in the classroom.  Parents send their children to school to learn reading, writing, and math — not to be taught to hate Israel or embrace radical political causes. Yet that’s exactly the kind of material our investigation uncovered,” Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) told The Daily Wire. 

The report from the lawmakers focused on curriculum used at school districts in Philadelphia and Berkeley, where parents have complain

On these and all the other mostly depressing links, 70 by my count, I nevertheless bid you all to have a good day.

Actually, numbnuts, Trump is doing the bidding of truckers, farmers, and every American who needs to see the price of diesel go down so they don't have to take out a payday loan to fill the tank up.

If Trump did not have to do it due to obvious circumstances he would not be making a deal with Putin at all, other than to end the war, which this deal may help lead to.

So, now we're back in a Cold War?
Putin called Obama and told him the 80s were back on?

39 Don't make the mistake of thinking that "Rule of Law" and "Civil Rights" are actual values of the Left. To the Red-Globalist-Green alliance, they are tools to be used to advance the Revolution/Jihad against their common enemy. Sure, the long term goals of the Party and the Ummah differ. In the short and medium term, they're on the same side.

It's not hypocritical or ironic when they use civil rights and the law to attack their enemies; it's the dialectic. By. Any. Means. Necessary.

46 Ackman, your cohort was *exactly* the same, and you were just willfully ignorant of it - and you were able to be willfully ignorant, because you grew up with an actual opposition that kept your leaders in check back in the day, and enough dissenters among the populace to keep your fellow Dem voters from running wild.

But your movement's march through the institutions is complete, there is no organized opposition Party to stop anything, and *these* little monster babies have never heard a discouraging word. The masks are off, and even a cloistered billionaire can't help but see what they are from his penthouses and c-suites.

Sorry, but your despised country-class shouted at the top of their lungs for decades warning of this day, and you ridiculed them, and it took one of your own getting his head hollowed out to make you think twice. Too late now.

You holier-than-thou money men will get to suffer the consequences with the rest of us benighted peasants. You refused to see the truth when you still could gave done something about it. Too bad, so sad.

54 t Trump “now has surrendered” to Vladimir Putin.

A statement that only could come from the mouth of a retard.

While whole articles can be written on unpackaging this insane, lunatic statement, I'm more interested in this constant vilification of Vladimir Putin.

What exactly are Putin's crimes? (insert long list).
How are their crimes and motives any different?

We have the Left boasting about once "regaining power" how their plans, including violence, against their political opponents will make Putin's actions to keep and maintain power look normal.

They tried to kill Trump several times, they killed Kirk, they jailed and destroyed thousands of Trump supporters, they burn down cities, steal trillions of dollars, destroy borders, murder tens of millions of children, tear down statues, hold the nation hostage in refusing to pay ATC and other employees, flood the nation with violent, criminal invaders, permanently mutilate children, cripple the energy and industrial sectors, and work to erase our history, traditions and character.

Most of this is pure sadism and hatred - things that are harder to assign to Putin.

78 Now, the election officials in that most populous county in the country in the most populous state in the union admit their voter rolls are a complete mess. And they like it that way. They don't want to know if their voters are illegally voting, even though it ruins the sanctity of elections and tramples the rights of U.S. citizens.

There is a hypothetical remedy: Article I §5, c 1 in the US Constitution where the House and Senate can declare the seats vacant effectively requiring a new election under applicable law.

But the US doesn't have anyone of character in either House or Senate to even state this out loud.

135 But I still think W’s second term was so bad, it set the stage and created an atmosphere where Obama could thrive and McCain would look weak.

There were clues that 'W' was tired of the position and spent the last few years mailing it in.

But what I thought was most revealing was the cryptic statement surrounding the ME imbroglio and Grand International Looting Event that made many centillionaires, was that "Obama isn't a threat, he really has no choice".

From that, I think even a child could understand that at this point in History, the Establishment fully owned what the rest of us called The Uniparty. The Tick-Tock of Republican than Democrat where the Republicans could burden the US with "patriotic" departments and surveillance apparatus (ATF, EPA, DHS, etc.), and the Democrats could grow Leviathan with "Compassion" atrocities like Open Borders, DACA, Obamacare, etc.

Trump broke that teeter-totter swindle and they are out to kill him for that breach of political etiquette

Zelenskyy will take whatever partition he can get, Putin is the lynchpin. His domestic political situation requires he at least get all the Donbas. That would require Zelenskyy to cede more territory Putin has not captured. That isn't going to happen. And Russia cannot physically get it without massive casualties. And I mean truly massive, so much so that he knows he cannot do it. We essentially have a WWI trench warfare situation with both sides having limited options for advancement.

Putin is in a box, Ukraine's drone activity is doing significantly more to disrupt Russia than vice versa. I don't see a solution. Our diesel problem is a reflection of democrat assholes in the EPA working to limit our refining capacity.

213 With the Somali community, Trump found a target that he could attack with Islamophobic, racist, and xenophobic rhetoric, without incurring much mainstream backlash, said Jaylani Hussein, the executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

“As immigrants, Muslims, and — most importantly — Black people, it’s the trifecta,” he told The Intercept.

219 Finally watched 1965's The Ipcress File last night, the film which introduced Michael Caine as British agent Harry Palmer. It's very much an anti-Bond movie, more like a Le Carre spy novel where the supposed good guys are not necessarily to be trusted. A trivia bit from IMDb: Bernard Kowalski, who directed the pilot of Mission: Impossible in '66, was inspired by the look, pacing, and urgency of TIF and strove to achieve something like it in his directing of the TV show. I'm not sure I see it, but the two are somewhat similar.

I think that is the plan. Trump is asking Congress to cough up $1.5 Trillion and that isn't just to pump up RTX and GD.

Restoration of industrialization and manufacturing in the US is going to require far more electrical generation than what is available now—nevermind the data centers. No one wants to invest in a project that will take a half generation from idea to producing energy, they require commitments—ideally from industry but everyone knows that politics can turn around and burn down a billion dollar project like Keystone XL and because the US is ruled by absolute retards and sadists, there has to be really deep pocketed "client" which just so happens to be the DOW.

Because the US is a Low Trust, Post-Modern, Post-Constitutional, Post-Christian society with Communism and Islam in ascendancy, this is the only way.

We haven’t heard many details about Microsoft’s upcoming “Project Helix” gaming hardware since the company announced it in March as a device that will “play your Xbox and PC games.” In a new wide-ranging profile of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, though, Fortune alludes to a dual release strategy for upcoming Microsoft gaming hardware, with “a next-generation handheld device” planned by the end of next year and a 2028 holiday season console release that could cost between $1,200 and $1,800.


At that price point, it better look and function like 25 year old Summer Glau from the Terminator tv series.

Thought Experiment:

When you encounter a demon possessed person, lock them in Super Max so that the demon and its corporal sponsor will be removed from the public.

If you just up and execute the human, the demon looks for another host and you are back to the original problem.

That assumes that demons hang out in a body until death. Passage in Matthew 12:43-45 suggests otherwise outside its obvious use as an analogy to "this evil generation"

Eh, the House is the easy part.

It relies on swings in turnout in marginal seats, the places where a D+3 shift where overall national shifts are more (just for argument's sake) can and will move things.

I still think Dems take the House slightly. And it will be hilarious as Jeffries has to manage a caucus that wants to do impeachment theater but his majority is dependent on like 3-5 Democrats who won in Trump+5 seats, all while the Senate signals early and often it won't take the impeachment trials seriously.

3) approve a NDA for a state harassment payout, which is golden since he originally came to fame on the back of Catholic priests throughout the state

I respect your thought process here. We could have a good discussion over a MoMeet-style bacon fest.

The expensive recount in Florida is forgotten now, but it showed Bush to be the legitimate winner of the State. The Left memory-holed that fact.
Posted by: NaCly Dog at October 22, 2026 07:47 AM (u82oZ)

Also memory-holed was that Gore lost his recount bid because he was restricting the recount to only democrat majority districts. He wasn’t asking for a state-wide recount, just where he could gain votes.

Also quietly forgotten was the suppression of panhandle voters by calling the state for Gore while their polls were still open. The panhandle of Florida is strongly republican.

*ucking Irish. The Cold War was declared over Dec. 1989; the USSR dissolved in 1991.

The ghosts of Hilliary and O "resets" with Russia strike again.

Hillary Clinton & the big red button debacle. On March 6, 2009, then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Geneva, Switzerland, to symbolize a fresh start in U.S.–Russia relations. The State Department's gift fell victim to an awkward mistranslation.

When Clinton handed over the yellow box with the large red button (which ironically looked like an industrial emergency-stop switch), she joked, "We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?"
Lavrov bluntly replied, "You got it wrong." After explaining that it meant "overload," Clinton laughed it off and replied, "We won't let you do that to us, I promise." Both diplomats ultimately smiled and pressed the button together for the cameras.

Posted by: L - No nic... at October 22, 2026 11:02 AM (NFX2v)

313 The Russian media widely poked fun at the error, with newspapers running headlines like "Sergei Lavrov and Hillary Clinton pushed the wrong button." Critics and political commentators often brought up the event as a symbol of poor preparation, and many historians note that the "overload" misspelling proved to be a dark omen.

And President Barack Obama and his famous "hot mic" comment to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on March 26, 2012.

The conversation specifically focused on highly contentious negotiations surrounding a U.S.-led NATO missile defense shield in Europe.

But also in 2012, Putin returned to the Presidency & Obama also won reelection. The Missile Defense talks collapsed, Congress passed the Magnitsky Act and, in immediate retaliation, President Putin signed the Dima Yakovlev Law.

314 Back to Larry, who - like many - remembers his glory days, working for Senator Moynihan & serving as the Democratic Chief of Staff to the Committee on Environment and Public Works and the Finance Committee, '93-'95. (The Slick Willie early years.)

Reportedly, he was the legislative strategist steering the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 through a thin Democratic Senate majority. (The tax package raised the top marginal tax rate to 39.6%, created new corporate tax brackets, and expanded the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC).) It got not one Republican vote, and VP Gore cast the tie-breaking vote.

Now it seems Larry is caught up not only doing O's & Hillary's bidding but also Bernie's. 🤷‍♀️

Al-Jazeera, 22 Oct 2026,
Michigan Senate debate: Key takeaways from El-Sayed, Rogers Clash

In small part, "Iran takes centre stage

El-Sayed accused Rogers of supporting the war on Iran, which he blamed for rising fuel and food prices in the US.

He said be believed Iran had posed a threat to US national security but argued that the 2025 nuclear deal, negotiated under former President Barack Obama, had helped to contain it through diplomacy."

Boom!

Iraq War (2002); Afghanistan & Surge (2009); Libya Intervention (2011), Syria Policy

The U.S. economy felt the impact of these conflicts and military actions primarily through escalating national debt, major federal budget reallocations, and the introduction of sweeping international economic sanctions.

Oh, the opportunity costs of defense budgets!

Throughout this era, critics argued that the trillions of dollars locked up in post 9-11 military engagements created a massive opportunity costs for the domestic economy.

What it is, where it's heading, what the different companies are trying to be "first" to achieve.

Meh, I'll never be using it ( with exception of search engines? ) but it may very well use me. And keep on using me. Until it uses me up.

60 Anime is Saga of Tanya the Perfectly Nice Girl Once You Get to Know Her. Song is Trouble by Neon Jungle.

The last time I saw this Tanya character on here she was wearing a uniform and was a fascist type girl because her country was at war or something, I think.

Tanya the Terrible, or something?

Now she's just a little shy, femme fatale-ish, and fascistic until you get to know her better and then it turns out she's a nice sweet, All-American girl with apple pie and sammich making skills?

Does she have multiple personality disorder now, too?

63 It's cool this morning, but I'm feeling lazy about working out and the motivation, that imp, has found a new hiding place. The coolish conditions will hold through the weekend, though, so I can exercise tomorrow and Saturday, take off Sunday, and get back to it on Monday. (Or so I tell myself. . . .)

68 Isaacson first swam into my ken when he was starting as a "special professor of history" at my old employer. At the time the dean had agreed to fund an assistant for me, and I was going through resumes . . . until I found I'd have to *share* my assistant with Isaacson, and that the new position would outrank me and get more money than I did. I said, "No thanks."

And they're completely sold out with new orders not being delivered until next year.

It turns out to be especially popular in China (I think the Duo sold out there, too) and they have several options for foldable phones with Huawei, Samsung and other manufacturers all having options available.

They may be getting terrible reviews for the Duo but Apple's biggest fans couldn't care less it seems.

I was looking to see if I could buy a pink bottlebrush, and then the red bottlebrushes I planted last year flowered and I realised that I already had one - the one I planted first, early last year, and thought was red was clearly pink when you see them side-by-side

We have dwarf bottlebrushes planted in the garden. Very popular with the bees and hummingbirds.

77 Mayor Helena Moreno is heading to Paris along with the Saints and their fans for the Saints-Steelers game. She's paying for the trip herself, and says, " 'The very first meeting when I get to Paris is a meeting with city officials, essentially the leadership of the Public Works Department for the city of Paris,' she said. 'They’re going to show what is their largest stormwater basin that they have in the city of Paris that they built just a few years ago that holds about 13 million gallons of stormwater.' "

So, unlike her grifting predecessor, she's going on her own dime and combining it with a work meeting. An incredible improvement.

And I'm sure New Orleans could use a large stormwater basin just like that.

Looking at it and getting it done are two different things.

They've been "looking at" expanding and improving the storm & tide water drainage in downtown Charleston for about 50 years now. They've also spent a lot of money towards the goal.

Yet every time they have a hard rain, tropical storm, or high/king tide, half of downtown still gets flooded.

They'll fix it, one day, when they run out of excuses and taxes to raise.

I think The Unsinkable Molly Brown was a musical. And yes, Goodbye, Charlie has been on Movies! once or twice. Debbie co-starred with Tony Curtis, but Matthau was in it as a kind of multi-millionaire playboy figure.

Crucially, this is the framing they use to get election officials to play their part in a coup (via resisting federal government) without having to sign on to a coup. Officials fight against Trump's "illegal" orders. Someone else will declare the USA illegitimate.
