----- The guys will understand
----- My once great home state can't get the smaller, single span Key Bridge rebuilt - but sure, let's go ahead and plan for a new Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Much longer and two spans. Great idea! When will a new Chesapeake Bay Bridge arrive? Despite the dreary weather this Memorial Day weekend, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge has been very congested with holiday traffic at times – especially after a crash at the start of the eastbound span Friday morning – leaving some drivers wondering when relief will finally come for the aging bridge.I'm going to start some kind of non-profit which specializes in some obscure thing that has to be done whenever there is a bridge design / build. Need to get me a piece of that sweet state government largess! ----- On to a construction project that is actually making progress Stadium construction begins at White House for UFC Freedom 250 Construction is underway at the White House to build a temporary structure for next month's Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fight. President Donald Trump is hosting the UFC Freedom 250 event on the South Lawn on Sunday, June 14, which will mark Flag Day, the day Congress approved the design of a national flag, and the president's 80th birthday. Tickets are not listed for the 8 p.m. event, which will be available to watch on Paramount+, according to the UFC Freedom 250 website. Crews have already started assembling the semi-circular structure on the lawn just behind the octagon and stands for people to watch. The structure was made in Pennsylvania and shipped to D.C. Dana White, the CEO of the UFC, said he plans to keep the White House the backdrop for every fight.This should be a really kewl event! ----- 1976 was a great year for albums.

I saw Gary Wright and Peter Frampton open for The Beach Boys in '76 at Three Rivers Stadium. Wright gave a great opening act but Frampton brought the house down. After his set was finish, most of the concert goers left before the Beach Boys even got started.

The quality of the UFC has really diminished over the years. Most of these matchups turn into sparing sessions and go to the judges.
These bouts should never go to the judges. The fighters should decide who wins or it would be acceptable if the ref or the doctor make a ruling. Offer incentives for KO or TKO. I don't want to see sparing on PPV. Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at May 26, 2026 10:22 PM (D1E+2) 67

· 58m Senator John Cornyn invokes a Theodore Roosevelt quote from 1910 during his concession speech — after suffering a devastating primary loss to Ken Paxton. CORNYN: “Tonight, I’m reminded of something Teddy Roosevelt said in 1910.” “He said, it’s not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better.” “The credit belongs to the man who’s actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and blood and sweat, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again.” Posted by: Don Black at May 26, 2026 10:44 PM (ZxPkt) 112

heirloomroses.com/products/america-1 A gorgeous climbing rose! I have 2 of them here, had one at old house... color & scent both outstanding! (this website is the most expensive, but had the best photos. Buy locally & for much le$$ as it's now "off-patent") Posted by: JQ at May 26, 2026 11:17 PM (rdVOm) The one I planted last year (pot, but gets near all day direct sun) is STILL alive. Considering the winter we had: multiple single digit temps, a couple ice storms, snow- i did not expect it to survive. I have never had one survive through the winter before. Maybe it was the direct sun. Its supposed to be a Coral Knockout. Had red and yellow blossoms when it first put them out but has settled into a pink similar to the one you linked. Nastiest thorns on any rose bush I have ever grown too. Thinnest, sharpest little bastards.

The bottom fell out again this afternoon, another 2.3" of rain. I'm getting a lot more here than GSP, but other spots have gotten even more. Pushing 10" for the month. I was well over 7" behind normal for the year. After this, I'm just maybe 1.2" behind. Previously, the ground was soaking it up as fast at came down, but today, I got some runoff.

My mother's maternal side of the family is pretty long-lived. Her maternal uncle, my great-uncle made it a few days short of 101. They next youngest of those siblings made it to 98.

It's hard to watch, publius. My own parents are "just" in their 80s, but my mom in particular is having a harder time every year, just with mobility around the house. I catch myself running linear projections, and have to remind myself not to borrow trouble from the future, as it'll be here soon enough.
Now for something different: I stand corrected. I said earlier that I thought the subpoena of Hasan Piker was consequential, because he has alpha physiognomy, and it's good strategy to take your enemy's natural leaders out first (as they did with Charlie Kirk). However, I had never really watched him, only seen stills, and Bridget Phetasy has called him out as having "fat kid energy." Women have a natural poseur detector, so I'll take her word for it.

What matters is securing the long-term future of consciousness, both on Earth and other heavenly bodies.
We cannot just focus on Earth, because there are irreducible external (eg massive meteor) and internal (eg global nuclear war) cataclysmic risks. The Moon is faster to make self-growing, but is more susceptible to problems on Earth. Mars will take longer to make self-growing, because it is so hard to reach, but is more secure from Earth disasters for that same reason. Both the Moon and Mars should have self-growing civilizations. Making this happen is the prime directive of SpaceX _Musk Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at May 27, 2026 02:57 AM (vvjN/) 303

I agree with Elon there. I want Moon and Mars (and other) colonies. However, there's one hell of a big problem. Gravity significantly different from 1g earth gravity. And the next one is radiation. To have a colony, you're going to have to make babies. And it doesn't look too good for that in Mars or Moon gravity. Right now, the Chicoms are doing a little "artificial embryo" experiment on their space station, to see how embryos would develop in zero-g. It's not real embryos, but some stem-cell mimic of some kind. NASA and some of the others have done animal embryo experiments with mixed results. This is likely going to be a Big Problem.

A lot of people tend to just handwave this gravity issue. "We'll adapt". Well, I don't know about that at all. Could we adapt to say a temperature of 200F? No likely. And gravity different from 1g may be about as bad as that. 1g has been baked in the cake for ever biological process on earth. It's there everywhere, ever process had developed on that 1g acceleration. Results of what microgravity does to a fully grown human body are quite a problem. Hell, the immune system doesn't even function properly, the ability to fight infections is greatly reduced. It's everywhere in all sorts of wide ranging processes. We assume there is some tolerance 1g +/- x. The question is just how small is 'x'? It may be very small indeed. Nobody knows this yet by a long shot.

I wonder how much energy it would take to create an artificial magnetic shield like the one that the Earth naturally has? The aurora borealis is where the polar nature of magnetism allows more radiation through, and the lack of such displays elsewhere shows how effective the shield is.

>> I wonder how much energy it would take to create an artificial magnetic shield
This has actually been thought about, and believe it or not, while it's still beyond our engineering at this point, it's not that wild. One idea is to place a large magnetic dipole contraption, some superconducting coil at the Sun-Mars L1 point. This would create a magnetotail around Mars and deflect a lot of the radiation. I forget what the numbers are for how strong a field it would have to be, but it's not something laughably impossible.

Gravity is a problem for a healthy body. A stationary object like the moon is more of a problem. Von Braun's spinning wheel concept seems very realistic in creating an artificial gravity.

Posted by: m at May 27, 2026 03:44 AM (6wpGE) Paxton Retires Arrogant Liberal GOPer John Cornyn In Absolute DrubbingI was wondering why no one made a call given such a lopsided vote total. It's because voting was still going on in the western (Mountain time) corner of the state. The moment the clock struck 8pm Central, they called it:![]() Even before the endorsement, Paxton led in runoff polling, though Cornyn was not far behind until the days leading up to Trump's announcement. Yet the most recent polling in the race -- including surveys conducted before the endorsement -- found Paxton leading by at least 10 percentage points. In Decision Desk HQ's polling average, Paxton leads Cornyn by 15 points, 54%-39%. Cornyn's only message is "vote for me or Texans will suddenly go crazy and vote for the gay fake preacher. Cornyn's primary race against challenger Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton finally comes to a head in today's runoff election. After what has been a particularly bruising primary, Cornyn expressed his worry that Republicans stand to lose a seat that would be devastating for the party's hopes of retaining a majority in the upper chamber. Speaking with Fox News Digital ahead of Election Day, Cornyn touted Texas as "the most conservatively governed state in the country," making it a "land of opportunity and where the American dream is still very much alive." "But I think all of that's at risk, depending on how this primary runoff turns out, because I think Ken Paxton's flaws and the baggage he brings to the general election are going to be exploited up to the fullest by James Talarico and by Democrats," he said. Whoever emerges Tuesday night will have to face state Rep. James Talarico, a Democratic rising star who many in the party believe has broad enough appeal to finally flip the state for the first time in over two decades. Cornyn expressed worry about Talarico's fundraising abilities, citing the $27 million he raised in the first quarter of the year. He asserted that if Paxton wins, "there will be a tsunami of money coming into the state from outside." He also asserted that "it's not only that Senate seat he [Paxton] puts at risk, it's also all the down-ballot races, state legislative races, local races, like the judges and the like." "We haven't elected a Democrat in statewide office since 1994 in Texas," he said. "President Trump is not running, so the Senate race will be at the top, and I believe that I will be in a better position to help provide a significant margin, a winning margin, not only in my case, but also to help everybody down ballot." "I don't think the attorney general can do that because of the significant baggage he brings into the race, which jeopardizes success from the top to the bottom," he said. Paxton has faced a slew of scandals and legal problems that have battered him over the past decade. In 2023, the Texas House of Representatives voted to impeach Paxton, but he was eventually acquitted of all charges by the state Senate.Should we really be worried that if Texas Republicans nominate the conservative MAGA AG Ken Paxton, Texas Republicans will suddenly flip and vote for James Talarico in the general? I find that claim dubious.

Dear John, we voted for you. You went all gay.
The 2022 Cornyn-Biden Gun Control Package In 2022, Cornyn teamed up with President Joe Biden and Senator Chris Murphy to pass S.2938 — the largest federal gun control package in over 30 years. Cornyn’s bill didn’t just tinker around the edges. It funded and expanded “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation across the country, using $750 million in taxpayer dollars to bankroll laws that allow the government to seize firearms without due process. It empowered Biden’s ATF to crack down on private gun sales by redefining what it means to be a “gun dealer” — something the National Association for Gun Rights warned Cornyn about repeatedly. It created a lifetime gun ban for many young Americans through a new federal registration scheme, and it introduced a brand-new gun ban targeting anyone who has had a “bad date,” opening the door to disarmament based on vague, unsubstantiated accusations. https://tinyurl.com/ykwjbw4z Posted by: rickb223 at May 26, 2026 08:07 PM (MTg2D) Posted by: Mr Aspirin Factory at May 26, 2026 08:07 PM (HinvH) 26

Cornyn's only message is "vote for me or Texans will suddenly go crazy and vote for the gay fake preacher.

They are doomed to blackest darkness. 18 They brag about themselves with empty, foolish boasting. With an appeal to twisted sexual desires, they lure back into sin those who have barely escaped from a lifestyle of deception. 19 They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and corruption. For you are a slave to whatever controls you. 20 And when people escape from the wickedness of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then get tangled up and enslaved by sin again, they are worse off than before. 21 It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life. 22 They prove the truth of this proverb: “A dog returns to its vomit.” And another says, “A washed pig returns to the mud.” Posted by: Duncanthrax at May 26, 2026 08:23 PM (0sNs1) 127

As an aside, you can thank McConnell and the Senate Republican Conference rules for Cornyn not becoming the GOP Leader 8 years ago. Cornyn was in the #2 spot as at the whip, but every leadership position except the leader is term-limited. He was term-limited out of the whip spot, McConnell had no intention of giving up the #1 spot, and he didn't have a chance of beating Mitch, so out of the leadership he went.

R/TheBulwark
Republican primary voters in Texas are fucking psychos. Do yourself a favor and look at the nonbinding resolutions those freaks put on their primary ballots. In other words, Cornyn is history. Coryn will lose, will be interesting to see by how much. I think it will be a significant margin. Runoff emojis made me laugh, that was a good one 😂. Agree. Coryn’s “identity” is a Trump cultist. That’s it. Now that daddy Trump has spoken out against him the 🐑 will fall in line. A fitting end to a truly pathetic man. Paxton nearly was impreached and removed from office by Texas republicans. How the fuck the voters support him in any way is so black pilling. He literally would be the worst person to give more power to.

Two incumbent senators ousted in one cycle (so far).
Interesting. Too lazy to get the precise stats, but unseating incumbents in primaries, especially senators, has not happened much in recent history. Plus Massie gone. Another incumbent. Some small signs of life in a political system that's been largely dead for ages. And below the presidential level, where Trump is an extraordinary outlier, historically.

And if I'm doing my math right, half of all 13 month periods would include only two check ups. Posted by: Biff Pocoroba at May 26, 2026 06:09 PM (XvL8K) Sure, but you need to ask, why 13 months? Because that's the shortest they could make it sound, going from the first checkup to the third. (Which means he's been putting them off a little, more like 6.5-month checkups, presumably because he's so busy.) So, it isn't a random 13-month period; they're specifically trying to confuse people.

California IN SHOCK As $5B Blue Diamond CEO Calls California 'Too Costly' To Stay
A decision made inside one of California’s most recognizable agricultural companies has sparked a debate far larger than the closure of a single factory. For more than a century, a cooperative built by a handful of almond growers helped transform California into the center of the global almond industry, creating generations of jobs, pioneering manufacturing technologies, and exporting products around the world. Now, the announcement that its historic Sacramento facility will shut down has ignited questions about rising operating costs, business competitiveness, taxation, regulation, and whether California can continue retaining the companies that helped build its economy. Supporters argue the move is a necessary business decision driven by efficiency, while critics see it as another warning sign in a growing pattern of corporate departures and economic strain.

Cornhole got pigeon holed. Very Nice.

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee" Jeremiah
This is not about abortion, it is about God's foreknowledge. Even before he was conceived, God knew. "Be fruitful and multiply" ... I prefer that admonition. But the first verse about when man becomes a living soul ... "KJV And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." Gen 2:7 That says nothing about abortion, but there are a couple (I think) accounts where if a man caused a woman to lose her child he was fined, but whatever harm he caused to the woman, it was "an eye for an eye" type judgement. I know someone here has said "no, that was only if it was an accidental death" (or some such), but I have not seen that in the actual text. But abortion is still wrong, even if "Biblically" it is not the same as murder. imo opinion as "not a Bible scholar". heh Posted by: illiniwek at May 26, 2026 09:37 PM (vbXSk) 576

I know Rick Scott of FL challenged Cocaine Glitch McConnell and Thune for the Leadership role last time.

Posted by: ShainS at May 26, 2026 09:40 PM (OLFlC) The leader race was Thune, Rick Scott, and Cornyn because McConnell bowed out. If I recall, that was his second time running for leader, and has around a dozen senators who will support him. Just my opinion, but I think he wants to be leader for the prestige, and has no desire to start lower down the leadership ladder and work his way up.

Posted by: Pug Mahon, I Have Become Comfortably Lame at May 26, 2026 07:35 PM (0aYVJ) I spent a lot of time in food quality. Any of a few I could name were worse than a paper mill. The smell that hits you when you open a unrefrigerated trailer of raw potatoes in August is pretty bad. Especially when they are liquidating from the putrefaction. But, the absolute worst. Central Valley of California for the annual tomato harvest. They send the tomatoes from the trucks by washing them into troughs that, like a log ride, carry them along to the processing facility. Once there, they are waterfalled down to a tank for a final rough wash. There is a ton of vapor in the air to carry the smell. It is unforgettable. Just transcendently nasty.

>> But if the math holds out, this planet packs a Jupiter-class dynamo in a package the size of Mars.
Now that is damned interesting. The problem with red dwarf stars for habitable zone planets is they are very prone to flares and outbursts. And being so dim, the habitable zone is very close in, meaning any planet there could get zapped by sterilizing flares all the time. K and G are the best bets, but the argue about which of those is truly the best. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at May 26, 2026 08:03 PM (w6EFb) 127

Posted by: Oldcat at May 26, 2026 09:04 PM (8avO+) Quick HitsNote: I'm going to post the Cafe at 7 so I can post a Texas primary thread at 8. The fake-Republican South Carolina Dixiecrats have again blocked a new congressional map, in order to save the seat of nonstop racebaiter and fellow Democrat James Clyburn. They say they're doing this for "states rights" or some cuck mumblemouth bullshit. NBC:Speaking of ugly grifters who are going to lose their phony-baloney jobs: Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Noted African American Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is such a fervent supporter of blacks getting to elect the black leftwingers they like that she's running for a seat previously drawn to guarantee black representation. Florida Democrats wrong a Strongly Worded Letter condemning Debbie's psychopathic need for power. Almost all of Florida's elected Democratic National Committee members are condemning Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz's decision to run for reelection in a district previously drawn to ensure Black voters' representation but targeted for redistricting by Gov. Ron DeSantis this year. "Our party cannot credibly denounce the dismantling of Black political power by Republicans while treating one of Florida's few remaining majority-Black districts as a political opportunity for an incumbent seeking a safer seat," a group of 10 elected Florida DNC members wrote in a statement released Tuesday. ... Wasserman Schultz, in Congress for more than 20 years, chose to run in a safe blue seat where a Democrat is all but guaranteed to win in the general election, instead of in one of the surrounding districts, newly drawn to favor Republicans.It's almost as if these districts were drawn to secure partisan advantage, not racial advantage. Wasserman Schultz lives in Florida's new 22nd District, which stretches from Coral Springs to Marco Island. Her previous voters were split five ways in Florida's new voting maps, but only a small portion of them were drawn into the 20th District. Critics say she chose to take her $2.5 million war chest to an easier Democratic-leaning district to ensure her own political power. "We cannot claim to defend voting rights, racial justice, and representation while undermining Black political power when it becomes politically convenient," the Florida DNC members wrote.I wonder what she'll do when she gets her fat droopy ass kicked to the curb. Maybe she'll go into modeling. ![]() Last time I saw a mouth like that, it had a Quint in it Jonathan LemireExcept he himself attacked anyone on the right raising these questions about Biden. Western Lensman
Communist jihadist Zohran Mamdani did the inevitable and declared he would begin seizing the estates of "negligent" land-owners -- "wreckers," as the communist party calls them, people who don't use their property the way the state wants them to -- and give them to "responsible" managers, including the tenants of the buildings.
Far-left political influencer Hasan Piker identified American Marxist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham as a major financier behind a network of pro-communist U.S. nonprofits engaged in "political advocacy" and "a lot of political movements," marking the first public acknowledgment from a figure inside the far-left network that organizations in the Singham network are operating with an explicitly political agenda. The comments are significant because congressional investigators and watchdog groups have long argued that nonprofits connected to Singham are functioning as overt political operations while enjoying tax-exempt charitable status. Critics argue such activity may violate nonprofit tax laws, which place strict limits on the amount of political activity charities can conduct. As Fox News Digital reported exclusively on Saturday, Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control issued an administrative subpoena to Piker and far-left CodePink co-founder Susan Medea Benjamin for possibly violating sanctions against doing business with the Communist Party of Cuba when they traveled to the island nation in March for an ideologically-charged transnational convergence of communists in an international "convoy." Piker and Benjamin haven't responded to requests for comment, but they have publicly defended their trips to March as "humanitarian" missions to help the people of Cuba. At about 37 minutes in a six-hour livestream on Monday, headlined, "FEDS ARE AFTER ME," punctuated with two cursing emojis, Piker stunned listeners knowledgeable about the intricacies of far-left networks by saying that he believes federal investigators are ultimately targeting Singham and the organizations he supports, including CodePink and the self-declared communist organizations ANSWER Coalition and Party for Socialism and Liberation, for the "political" work they do. Together, these groups and others in the Singham network have organized, coordinated and staffed most of the divisive anti-U.S. street protests the nation has seen over the past decade. Party for Socialism and Liberation is called "PSL" by far-left activists. "I think that ultimately the target is probably Singham and his operation from PSL to ANSWER Coalition to CodePink -- like anything that he has ever financed," Piker said during the stream.Admitting that his Cuba trip was funded by the hostile communist foreign government may expose him to legal jeopardy:
Tucker and the Turkish anchor baby Piker -- his parents quickly jetted to America to give birth there and make this foreign agent an "American citizen" -- will be guests on each other's shows well before the election.

He eats McDonald's EVERYDAY. He takes more aspirin per day than is recommended by doctors. He NEVER exercises. There's only so much duct tape and IV fluid that can keep this shitbag together. He's falling apart and his people are trying to hide it, and which like his people normally do, they are fucking it up. Stress is the silent killer. This dude cares for no one and nothing. Complete apathy. These people seem to exist the longest. Uncaring and consuming as much as they can. Swelling in the feet is a very strong symptom of heart failure.They put a damn robot heart in Dick Cheney, and will do no less for this scumbag. They will barge the gates of hell to make Satan sign the contract for this man. So don't get your hopes up for the Big Beautiful Obituary. Is this why they are building a medical facility under his ballroom?

A railing needs to be tightened; two walls need repainting to my taste; and the carpet has to be removed to reveal the hardwood floors. (Yes, I'll be ordering a thorough inspection.) So I screwed my courage to the sticking place and told my agent, "Put in the offer." They have until 6 pm my time tomorrow to accept or decline. I'm nervous, of course. I've never done this before. But as a certain 12-Step program puts it, "Feel the fear and do it anyway"!

One of the people running against Fugly Debbie in Fl-20 is Luther Campbell from 2LiveCrew. Love to hear him do a rap about her.

There's a whole conspiracy theory about that. There'a an interesting video of Stevie Wonder quickly reaching out to grab a music stand that's tipping over. Got to admit, there's no real explanation for that, unless he can see shadows or something.
Posted by: Delurker at May 26, 2026 06:16 PM Weird things can happen with your eyes. I recently had my 4th cataract eye surgery and I could see the doctor messing in my eye even after the nerve block. I said....hey doc I can see you poking around in there is that normal? because I couldn't see a thing when you did the other eye. He said it can happen but it's very rare. Didn't really bother me but it was a bit weird. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at May 26, 2026 06:40 PM (0N4FZ) 170

Pretty sure the Congresswoman wears product in her hair on the daily to stop it looking like she stuck her finger in a light socket. If she has a photo session, or a short televised interview, she will wash it and let it go natural, or, more likely, use a much lighter styling product, and afterwards go back to the heavier product.
That tupe of hair is very difficult to deal with. She cannot help her hair or her looks. There are so many truly horrendous things to criticize her over that I never understand why we waste it on something she cannot change. Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at May 26, 2026 06:40 PM (Vvh2V) 175

I wasn’t concerned so much about Biden’s age; some people are healthy and vigorous well into their 90s. That might not be the way to bet, but a good specimen will surprise you.
They interviewed Tom Stafford, the Apollo astronaut when he was in his 90s and he was still sharp as a tack and talking extemporaneously about technical issues. Biden was a complete wreck and everyone knew it. He was just a placeholder, a cutout, and nobody cared too much what he thought about anything, although they probably had to accede to his demands now and then. His “resignation” was interesting to watch. I’m quite certain there was some sort of palace intrigue. It was a Hail Mary, but they had to try something.

I didn't watch Tucker's speech, but this tactic of ditching out on your bills is a whole theme of "fleeing" Trump's America. At the 3-month countdown, stop making your car and rent payments, run up every kind of bill you can, get credit cards and get as much cash out of them as possible, tale out personal loans, bank loans, sell your stuff, and split the country owing everyone.

1.) Trump deploys his cadre of ambitious young officers to arrest every Democrat in DC in 3am raids 2.) Iron collars and manacles all around... "Look under your chairs! YOU get a collar, Chuck! And YOU get a collar, Alexandria! EVERYONE GETS A COLLAR!!!" 3.) On Arch Ribbon-Cutting Day, the collars will be chained together, and the vanquished will be ceremonially marched beneath his massive yoke, and run a gauntlet of knouters on the far side. 4.) As a surprise, he also unveils the secret addendum to the arch project: a 10:1 scale replica of Rome's Tullianum, replete with a contingent of UFC fighters to perform their ritual strangulations. 5.) Big, beautiful BBQ with Ted Nugent performing "Stranglehold" for his throng of adoring supporters.

"How many times do you have a six month check up in a 13 month period? Not two. You have to add one more because the period begins and ends with a visit, with another one in the middle."
Mostly true, but if you count (for instance) from the time Trump came into office (January), and he had his first check up after three months (April), then another after six months (October), then a third in six more months (April), THEN it would be only TWO, in (those) thirteen months. But I don't care enough about the details to check what the dates were. Were they just regular 6 month check ups? If so, then yes, it is not unusual.

_____ What? I thought they replaced the lenses and you would be good to go. (I will probably need it) Unless you have 4 eyes? Posted by: Chuck Martel at May 26, 2026 06:43 PM I had super cataracts. I had to have both of my eyes scraped flat because I had a map dot fingerprint thingy, basically ridges on my cornea that had to be scraped flat or the cataract surgery would not work well. I had to have one eye scraped and then wait 2 months for it to heal and then have the cataract surgery on that eye and then repeat the process for the other eye. It took me almost nine months to get everything done. Normal cataracts are usually done within a few weeks of each other and then you are done for life.

If Trump had a check-up once a month, I wouldn't care. In fact, it might be a signal that we'd kinda like to keep the President alive and in top a shape as is possible. And as much as he in particular is in the public, I can be pretty certain I'd recognize cognizance versus not.

I had to have one eye scraped and then wait 2 months for it to heal and then have the cataract surgery on that eye and then repeat the process for the other eye. It took me almost nine months to get everything done. Normal cataracts are usually done within a few weeks of each other and then you are done for life.
Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at May 26, 2026 06:49 PM (0N4FZ) I had that as well, but the cataract surgery was done in two days, one on each. Cataracts are a breeze compared to that miserable map dot fingerprint scrape. Hurts like hell, and no relief for about three days. Posted by: tcn in AK at May 26, 2026 06:52 PM I had to wait two months after my eye got scraped because it significantly changed the shape of my eye. It took two months to heal each eye then I did the cataract surgery. And then repeat the process for the other eye.

We can criticize multiple ways, and while I approve some over others, I'm not letting this one go. Again, Alinsky showed us the way. I'll be damned if I'm not going to throw it right back on occasion. This is war. We don't like to think of it that way. It's "tawdry" and "indecent". But it is war. And it's not like we are insisting they be sent to death camps or attacked by incited mobs. I'd say a few superficial comments is pretty tame.

Mike Pence is on his newest grifter tour selling political pornography to his base -- liberals and NeverTrumpers (but I repeat myself) -- and scolding us that if we no longer give the benefit of the doubt to toxic, psychotic leftwingers, we're the same as Satan. No really. He writes this in the National Review, obviously. Incivility is at the heart of the problem. Liberals love to pretend that Donald Trump invented incivility, but he's more a symptom than a source. Trump did not devise the personal attack in politics, though he may have perfected it. Sadly, Trump's abrasive and combative style, once unique and jarring in the Republican Party, has been widely aped by right-wing populists. Long before Trump, however, left-wing progressives rejected civility and compromise. They followed the advice of the activist and agitator Saul Alinsky, who wrote Rules for Radicals, a 1971 manifesto on political confrontation. Among his thirteen rules, the most influential was the last: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Not surprisingly, the book includes an epigraph that praises "the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he won his own kingdom -- Lucifer."Mike Pence whined and cried for years that January 6 caused him Moderate Stress but seems to have not noticed that his allies on the left keep trying to kill Trump every other month. A gunman was killed in a shootout with the Secret Service outside the White House on Saturday, after officials said he took out a gun and started firing at officers. What we know: The Metropolitan Police Department responded to the area of 17th Street NW and Pennsylvania Avenue around 6 p.m. on Saturday. According to the U.S. Secret Service, a person walked up to a security checkpoint, pulled a handgun out of his bag, and started firing at officers. Officers shot back, hitting the suspect. A male bystander was also hit and suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. Paramedics took the gunman to the hospital and later died, the Secret Service confirmed. Police have identified the suspect as Nasire Best, 21, of Maryland.Near nonstop political violence by the left against the right is pretty incivil, isn't it, Mike?

Prosecutors allege 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler attacked Sheron in what officials described as an unprovoked assault.
Butler, who has been described in local reports as a Navy veteran, has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted murder, elder abuse, criminal threats and battery. "It was a single punch to the jaw," Garcia said. "The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim's head area." I don't care if Butler intended to kill him.

I'd charge 1sr degree murder, but this one is gonna be weird. Wife, who is now gonna divorce the perp and who had been separated for 2 years b/c he was a lousy spouse, said he turned to alcohol and meds together and was violent to his family post-military in his video gaming/PTSD days.
They never had an issue with this neighbor. So, I imagine the perp took the wrong cocktail of meds and alcohol together and this happened. I think it's foreseeable and he should get life. But diminshed capacity might play a role, unless the guy actually has a clear moment in custody away from the drugs and alcohol and realizes what he did...then, maybe suicide watch is needed.

(His killer, Abi Harbi Ali, was sentenced to life in prison.) That's all according to Brave AI search summary, since I couldn't remember all the details offhand.

Don’t take this the wrong way Ace, but it’s not a policy, it’s a choice. We put on the uniform to defend the country. Every one who does that no matter how they serve, realizes it can end in death- and we’re ok with that. It comes with the territory. Being in the military is a dangerous job. Hundreds of soldiers die each year on training accidents. The rigors of combat kills scores more through suicide. That said, anyone pointing out the deaths of soldiers and using it to grandstand is not just dishonoring those soldiers, it is demeaning their service and reducing it to a political throw away line. Fuck them. Posted by: Marcus T at May 26, 2026 05:00 PM (04KGT) 63

This attack is Republican on Republican, pro Trump MAGA vs pro Trump MAGA violence. Mental illness is something that we have to address in this society to prevent the kinds of violence we've seen the last few days
Made the mistake of going on Twitter. The comment section there is unhinged. Even if the attacker is a Republican, people say it’s the fault of “crazy left lunatics.” He’s not MAGA because there’s a picture of him wearing a Star Wars shirt, which somehow makes him gay? His drug addiction is supposedly the fault of the marxist left, and the PTSD is because he doesn’t have Jesus? It's tragic, really. But until the MAGA community addresses the deep-rooted cultural issues within their own culture, this cycle of MAGA-on-MAGA violence will just continue. Where are their community leaders?? "deep-rooted cultural issue?" In all seriousness, this is just where anti-intellectualism & pro-individualism leads us.

Posted by: It's me donna Uh, Reddit has linked "The Hindustan Times", which reports: Who is Thomas Caleb Butler: 5 things to know: 2- Butler is a Navy veteran with ‘severe PTSD’ a friend told The California Post. Police believe he did not know Sheron. They also believe the attack had nothing to do with politics and are speaking to witnesses. 3- Butler's friend told the publication that he ‘liked’ the ‘Trump house’ and lived just a few blocks away from it. The friend also reportedly said he supported President Donald Trump as a registered Republican. 4- Shocked by the attack, Butler's friend said “This is the guy that plays with Legos and Star Wars stuff,” as per the Post. The family friend further said Butler was medicated and his mental illness was making him weak. The friend noted that Butler had served many years in the Navy but was now without a job and fighting his demons, as per The Post. He ‘sits in his room and thinks everyone is coming to get him,’ the friend said. Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at May 26, 2026 05:30 PM (ycI94) 168

Posted by: Retired Buckeye Cop is now an engineer at May 26, 2026 05:18 PM (ksbjf) Sure, they're disgusted. And they're afraid of Democrats. And they see we're unwilling to defend our own, let alone the madding crowd of fearful people. We're giving them no choice but to support their oppressors to protect themselves, which they'll do because of human nature. One side is shooting and the other is praying. That isn't going to hack it. G-d gave us many more tools than prayer. If we refuse to use them, we're the guy in the flood who refuses the boats that come to help, and gets confused when the prayers don't stop him from drowning. Imagine when Kirk was shot, if hundreds of men descended on UVU armed to the teeth and baying for Robinson's blood, while their wives did the praying... That would have gone a country mile further toward preventing more murders than what happened. All we're doing is emboldening the Marxists and inspiring nothing but resigned apathy in everyone else.

As much as I love President Trump, I am most disappoint with his significant policy reversal a couple weeks ago -- publicly stating his support for allowing approximately 500,000 to 600,000 Chinese students to study in American universities, arguing that removing these students would cause lower-tier U.S. colleges to collapse financially and described it as "insulting" to tell China that their students are unwanted.

But diminshed capacity might play a role, unless the guy actually has a clear moment in custody away from the drugs and alcohol and realizes what he did...then, maybe suicide watch is needed.
Posted by: Nova Local I'm still confused why being drunk or high is somehow a mitigating circumstance when someone attacks or kills another person. Yes, alcohol and drugs tend to remove people's inhibitions, making it easier for them to be violent, but unless they were drugged without their knowledge or consent, they volunteered to impair themselves. If you volunteer to impair your ability to not hurt other people and then hurt other people, that should be an enhancement to the crime. Posted by: FeatherBlade at May 26, 2026 05:37 PM (vJrRc) —— Being drunk or high generally is not a mitigating factor in crimes. The exception is for crimes that require ‘specific intent’ to commit the criminal act. For example, some ‘murder one’ capital crimes require a very specific intent to intentionally murder the person you kill. If you are very drunk or high at the time, you might get the benefit of the doubt in being unable to formulate that level of specific intent.

I think it's a mistake to look at things like Venezuela, Cuba and Iran as discreet foreign policy issues. Aside from being generational problems for us they also all have one thing in common, China. China not only had effective control over Venezuela they also controlled the Panama Canal. Now they don't have either.

The autism thing is interesting to me as a parent with a child who actually has autism. There is a huge trend with AWFLs who need their children to be part of a “marginalized” group, as well as with teenagers. J’s daughter now claims to have autism. She very much does not have autism. I guess I should be grateful she didn’t jump on the trans bandwagon.

Every single dollar of increase in "healthcare" since Covid has been stolen. Every. Single. Dollar.

From the previous thread:
113 Why are they “Cultural” Marxists? How are they different from a Marxist? I probably don’t want to know, but it seems to be a distinction without a difference. Posted by: Common Tater at May 26, 2026 03:05 PM (w3KHJ) The Frankfurt School found that the Western working class, being literate and enfranchised, were not open to the "class struggle" message of Marxism. They really liked the prosperity that they already had in market economies, and had way too much to lose for a world revolution. Socialism was always a confidence scheme that really only worked on unlettered serfs. So, research grifters invented Critical Theory, and replaced the old Trotskyite scam patter with the rhetoric of Gay Race Communism -- basically doing gain of function on a mind virus that propagates to this day.

Sit down and don't drink anything when reading this:
Raw Story: It's not Vance. It's not Rubio. GOP pollster reveals who MAGA voters actually want in 2028. Republican pollster Sarah Longwell says there is a name coming up repeatedly in her focus groups when voters are asked who they want to lead the country next — and it is not JD Vance, Marco Rubio, or any of the conventional 2028 frontrunners. It's Candace Owens. "I think Candace Owens is great. I would vote for her in a minute," said Mycal, a Biden-to-Trump voter from North Carolina, in a February 2025 focus group conducted by Longwell for The Bulwark. Owens has emerged as one of the most frequently mentioned non-politicians when participants are asked about potential future presidents — a phenomenon that cuts across age groups and even across traditional partisan lines. The trend was underscored recently when Hunter Biden appeared on Owens's podcast, a pairing Longwell describes as "the melding of two of the internet's main characters." While many found the appearance shocking, Longwell says it fit a pattern she has been observing for years: Owens's appeal is no longer confined to the MAGA base.

Much autism is just fakery. As near as I can tell, half of the under 50 set claims to be neuroatypical in some way, including "being on the spectrum." It's just excuse-making, scamming, and status-seeking (by people who regard intellectual disabilities or other handicaps as a glorious form of diversity). It's no different than people faking cancer for advantage.

I just ... I mean:
The Republican primary for United States Senator in Texas is a snapshot of the tension between the entrenched interests of the corporate branch of the Republican Party, and a younger, aggressive, and unabashedly MAGA-adjacent conservative wing. The corporate Republican party (GOPe) has been the only game in town for many years, and their complacency in the face of the progressive onslaught on traditional America has created the existential issues we face today. John Cornyn is a star of GOPe policies and attitudes, and his bristling antipathy toward President Trump should be enough for the good voters of Texas to boot him to the curb.

Before anyone asks, here's the answer to the question "why did old timey bikes have such absurdly large front wheels?"
The Big Wheel: The size of the front wheel was a deliberate engineering choice. Before gears were invented, the pedals were attached directly to the front hub. A larger wheel allowed the bike to cover more distance with a single rotation, enabling high speeds. Posted by: Archimedes at May 26, 2026 04:27 PM (Riz8t) 253

remember:
Trump's "fraud on the voters of New York" that justified 37 felony convictions and decades in prison was over ... $130,000. And further, the fraud alleged was, "had Trump voters known about that ledger entry--which was made after the election--they would have changed their vote to ... Hillary ... via time travel."

Posted by: DAN NGFHUT at May 26, 2026 06:08 PM (xgu4D) Panel of Hawiian Appeals Court Judges Ignores Supreme Court Rulings and Invalidates Alabama's 7-0 Gerrymander, Claiming "Muh Racism"The Supreme Court did not forbid all judicial scrutiny of gerrymandered districts. However, it made it very clear that only real, demonstrable racism was cause to intervene in a state's legislative maps, and that Democrat Party bullshit about "dilution of minority voting power" wasn't enough. "Republicans are trying to reduce Democrat congressional power and that's racist, in a way, if you think about it" wasn't enough. An appeals court decided they're The Real Judges Here and ignored the Supreme Court ruling, citing the precedent of Muh Racism v. Muh Midterms.Alabama Republicans sought to use a previously blocked 2023 congressional map following the Supreme Court's recent ruling curbing the use of race in the drawing of electoral districts that helped minority communities increase their representation in Congress. Under that map, Republicans were slated to gain one electoral seat by erasing a Black-majority seat held by Democrats in the southeastern part of the state. However, the three-judge panel said Republicans must continue to use a map that has two majority-Black districts where Democrats hold significant advantages. "Ultimately, we cannot see our way clear to requiring Alabamians to cast their votes in the 2026 elections under a districting plan tainted by intentional race-based discrimination," the federal judges wrote. "We again cannot understand the 2023 Plan as anything other than intentionally discriminatory." More from Catherine Salgado at PJM:

And that he kept Murkowski in Alaska after she got beaten in her primary all those years ago (yeah - we're the "Elephant" party for a reason, Johnny Boy - us old-timers have LOOOOOONG memories). Maybe it was a bid by the higher ups in the Senate GOPe to let him vote that way because his seat was supposedly "safe", but you would think that after the high-profile scalps that upstart Republican voters have claimed over the last couple of decades that they would have been keeping an eye out for him.

For true exotics, you can pretty much choose the color you want for each swatch of color in the car, plus you have 10x more options for exotic materials like carbon fiber.

Why did CA and VA have to put it to voters? Because both CA and VA established processes to make redistricting "non-partisan" and by a separate body...recently, where the original process was just to have things done by the legislatures.

I have a bunch of things that use rechargeable batteries, and they are all worthless after a few years. I now take them apart and you can replace the batteries, but it is never easy -- a keyboard, hair clipper, toothbrush,....
I would not mind seeing something that calls for all battery powered products sold to consumers have to be replaceable. Not just phones (EU is doing that,) and not just replaceable, but standardized -- how many form factors do they need? My toothbrush uses 1/2AAA (2x) LiNH and my project later will be to add another tube next to it to hold 2x AAA batteries since I can not find 1/2 AAA at decent price and non-chinese brand. But seriously, a $100 toothbrush should not need to be replaced in 3 years because the batteries died. same with cars. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at May 26, 2026 03:07 PM (8aPNd) 120

BTW one important thing about cultural marxism is that it reveals more about the people adhering to it then it describes the real world.
Specifically, cultural marxists believe the whole world is about oppressors and the oppressed and they want to BECOME the oppressors. This is why it works so well for them - they built an ideology which claims the only reason they aren't rich, powerful, and oppressing others is...oppression, and the answer is...use any method possible to steal from and oppress those oppressors.

I find it hard to believe the administration didn't see the judicial coup coming or have any plan other than to let things play out and hope for the best. It's not that these sort of rulings won't get overturned, it's that it gives the left more time to fuck things up before they either have to stop (and we hope things are returned to normal) or it becomes too late to rectify the situation as originally intended.

El Salvador got out by having massive majorities in its Congress agree to impeach a shit ton of judges. Trump doesn't have that. So, he either acts like a president and goes slowly but surely, which he is doing with a strong legal team at DOJ, or he becomes an actual dictator, which is not in his bones. He'll always be a reformer, not a conqueror. However, the additions to the judiciary, the precedents his legal team is setting by playing the legal game, and the changes in the GOP itself will ensure that these long-term changes can actually remain in place past his presidency.

In serious advice, since it's the 1st time and 1-on-1, take a little time to get to know the kid and their interests. First step to getting a kid to learn something is to get them to listen to you. Next step is to get them to care.
Now, since this is a paid center (and I'm assuming the parent is paying), you probably have a kid told to care...but just in case. And always have one fun thing to do or break stuff up with...just in case...fun Math scenario (like how big is 8 trillion people or what are the odds you can get a perfect bracket in March Madness)...

I run with groups of people with Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, etc and they pay these insane prices.......then modify the damn car because kids in 70k Mustang GT's with superchargers smoke them.

Understand that undermining the courts is key to subverting the country.
When you don’t have a justice system that’s fair, people start to ignore it. Trump is trying to adhere to the process, in order to save it. The enemy knows this and is trying on one level to run out the clock on his presidency. These rogue courts have done significant damage to trust in the justice system. A weak chief justice on SCOTUS has helped them by being largely indifferent to their actions. But overall, Trump and his allies have won a great deal of the cases with few exceptions. This was always going to be a war of attrition. Posted by: Marcus T at May 26, 2026 03:27 PM (zfkPG) 195

Posted by: Skip at May 26, 2026 03:27 PM (Ia/+0) Beautifully sunny yesterday and today, but still below 60 degrees for the highs. Can't plant the beans or corn until it gets above 60. Weird Spring here, but summer is certainly looking up. Posted by: tcn in AK at May 26, 2026 03:31 PM (DwqWV) 206
All, I would appreciate some prayers. I have my first tutoring session tonight from 6 to 7, and I’m pretty nervous about it. Thanks.

Unfortunately they can't do that. Interstate commerce clause case law prevents one state from doing that to another

Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at May 26, 2026 03:28 PM (Zz0t1) I've floated the idea before of making "none of the above" a formal choice, and if that choice wins, the position goes vacant. If your district's political machine is so broken you can't find at least one candidate that doesn't piss off the majority of the electorate, then your district doesn't get to infect the rest of the body politic with it's Best Loser.

The democrats ignore constitutional law, they ignore or destroy every element of basic decent society, they try to murder our elected government officials. What shall we do? It's been going on for decades and boy it sure is frustrating. Let's sit around and talk about it some more. Maybe WE aren't listening. Sure hope elections help THIS time!

The "war of attrition/stay within the system/hey we're winning some stuff" approach is understandable, but I fear does not take account of the underlying reality.
Which is that the "other side/Dems/'liberals'/progressives", despite their variations, essentially are now totalitarian bots without standards or a shred of the mindset that made a society more/less based on rule of law possible (a rarity in human history). Not to mention the more fundamental issue of the constitutional collapse in which the judiciary wields legislative and executive power (usurps) without consequence, which long long predates the current day. Congress has long since surrendered, current administration is appeasing when it comes to this stuff. From the very first lawless ridiculous order from the district in WA in the first weeks of the first term ("Muslim ban"). Repudiating in cases where a court is completely out of line, including by their own rules (many examples ongoing) *is* preserving, or rather attempting to restore, the constitutional system. But it requires weathering a few weeks of (typical) unhinged hysteria. Which the Legal Cult simply cannot stomach. Posted by: rhomboid at May 26, 2026 03:40 PM (U/Byj) 237

Two of these Hawaiian judges are Trump appointees (to Alabama district courts) from his first term. So thank you federalist society.

I'm a little confused by Ace's post, in that the three judge panel included two Trump judges and also their decision explicitly talked about the Callais decision and what they were ordered to do by the SCOTUS remand.

the older judge was first appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, before Clinton reassigned him to Alabama.
Shelby and Strange recommended the second judge. The third one was appointed by Shelby and Doug Jones (Democrat), but she previously served as a clerk to Chief Judge Pryor, a leading conservative judge. Posted by: Huck Follywood at May 26, 2026 04:51 PM (ng78Z) 243
