The Morning Report — 3/4/26

Good morning kids. Obviously, the continued military strikes on Iran are in the lead, and yet while that's happening there is more action to report elsewhere in the world.

On Tuesday, U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) announced that U.S. and Ecuadorian military forces launched joint operations against “Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador,” saying the narco-terrorist group had “long inflicted terror, violence, and corruption on citizens throughout the hemisphere.”
This announcement marks a significant shift from training missions to active engagement. SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan praised the “unwavering commitment” and “courage” of the Ecuadorian armed forces, characterizing the collaboration as a decisive strike against the “scourge of narco-terrorism” that has destabilized the hemisphere through violence and systemic corruption.

Regardless of our large-scale military operations over Iran, despite this operation being much smaller in scale and limited in scope, it is good to know that the US military can still engage in multiple operations simultaneously and on different fronts many thousands of miles apart. Of course the Ecuadoran mission is in keeping with and follows close on the heels of our removal of the Chavez/Maduro regime in Venezuela and the disruption/destruction of its narco-trafficiking operations, as well as a warning to the world to stay the hell away from the Western Hemisphere and perhaps as a warning shot to the still extant Cuban Communist junta that they might be the next domino to fall, so to speak.

At the risk of causing whiplash, we shift back to the Middle East/Near East/South Asian region where we have a definite pass-the-popcorn situation brewing there.

There have been other intra-Muslim fights: the war of West Pakistan on East Pakistan in 1971, with East Pakistan successfully resisting the West Pakistani troops who engaged in genocide as they murdered 3,000,000 Bengalis; the continuing war in Yemen between the Shia Houthis, backed by Iran, and the Sunnis of the National Government, backed by Saudi Arabia, that so far have resulted in 377,000 deaths; the current war in Libya between the rival forces based in Tripoli and Tobruk; the war, now subsided, between Morocco and Algeria over control of the Western Sahara; the genocidal war in Sudan between Muslim Arabs and black, mostly Muslim, Africans, leading to the breakup of Sudan into two states — Sudan and South Sudan; the war unleashed on Kuwait by Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, who briefly annexed it as the “19th province of Iraq”; the war of Arabs against Kurds in Operation Al-Anfal, in Iraq, and now, we can add another war, still small but likely to grow bigger, between Pakistan and Afghanistan. . . Tit-for-tat attacks — Pakistani planes striking the Taliban in Afghanistan, Afghani Taliban setting off bombs inside Pakistan — have been going on for months. Now they seem to becoming more frequent, and more deadly. Pakistan has just announced that in a cross-border strike it killed 80 people in an attack on Taliban outposts in Afghanistan. And the Taliban have announced that they will soon launch an “appropriate response.” Don’t be alarmed. Just pull up a chair, and root for both sides.

Yeah, pass the popcorn! Guess we can thank Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants and his wizards of smart when they auto-penned our ass out of Afghanistan in a lickety-split bug-out that no one either understood or gave a shit about the consequences other than a political gambit to bolster electoral advantage by taking credit for bringing the boys home.

Yes, leaving, and abandoning the insane delusion of nation-building is always desirable, but doing so in such a way that does not create an even worse situation had we not gone in in the first place. The issue of our being in Afghanistan in the first place is something else entirely. But be that as it may, let's head back to Iran where a potential power vacuum is a distinct possibility now that we have essentially wiped out any successors to Khameini, not that another Mullah or an IRGC commander would have been desirable or acceptable.

It will be and must be solely up to the Persian people to install leaders that will respect their rights and freedoms and also not pose a threat to the rest of the world. Can that happen and will that happen are still very big question marks. As the last vestiges of the regime lash out at their nighbors as well as Israel, they're not gaining friends or influencing people, other than negatively.

Friend and friend of the blog Robert Zimmerman's latest essay focuses mostly on the insane reaction by the Democrat/Left to President Trump's decapitation strike on the Iranian Mullahocracy, mostly in their support for the mullahs (especially their hatred of us and Israel/Jews), but as he gazes into the crystal ball, he seems to have a very rosy outlook:

I would not be surprised if Saudi Arabia soon signs the Abraham Accords. Nor would I be surprised if most of the last remaining Arab nations that have not yet done so join Saudi Arabia. We could very well be seeing a major realignment of alliances in the Middle East that could really really harbinger the beginnings of real peace in that region. Imagine: Israel at peace with all its neighbors, because the Arabs have finally recognized that it is to their own best interest to do so as well.

Even with a defanged Iran that morphs into a nation with a government that perhaps resembles something akin to the Emirates, I will have to disagree with my friend insofar as the one thing that overshadows all of this is ISLAM. My personal view is that unless and until the Islamic world, from governments down to individual Muslims renounce the teachings in the Koran that call for the death of Jews, Christians and infidels or their subjugation into the global Islamic Ummah/caliphate, then all of these accords are just not worth the paper they're written on. All of it to me is merely part and parcel of the concept of Taqqiya so that Shiites and Sunnis can gain an advantage over each other for control of Islam and then ultimately gain control of the infidels on the way to global conquest for all time.

Sign all the treaties you want, but the notion that the Arab Muslim world will live in peace with Israel let alone recognize its right to even exist is a pipe dream. That said, even a cold peace as exists with Egypt and Jordan is the best that can be hoped for, and even then, those two nations with their borders on two massive "palestinian" abcesses (Gaza and the West Bank) have done less than zero to legitimately normalize their relations with Israel in all these years of so-called "peace." And have actively worked against the accords they signed.

All that aside, prior to Jimmy Carter stabbing the Shah and Iranian people in the back by paving the way for the Mullahs, Iran and Israel did have close strategic and diplomatic ties. Can that be resuscitated come the final downfall of the Mullahs and please God the installation of a sane government, we'll have to wait and see. Considering Israel vaporized a meeting with many of the leading candidates to be he next leader, The IRGC awaits Al Franken's '77 Buick Le Sabre to deliver a load of ballots!

And lastly, a quick shout-out and a huge thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

24 I'm doing some research in advance of buying my first e-bike and I am stunned at the sheer number of e-bike manufacturers and models out there. There seems to be no end to the number of brands. It's overwhelming. I had no idea.

Any e-bikers among the Horde? I could use some advice.

I'm looking for a regular bike style, not a 3-wheeler, with fat tires but not the super fat mountain off-road ones, for use primarily on roads and paved trails, but there will be some unpaved trails involved, and some up and downhills (foothills of The Rockies here, that's inevitable!)

Also needs to be able to haul reasonable loads up to around 45 lbs such as groceries, on a rear rack. My price range 1k - 2.5k. Prefer a weight of 50 lbs or less.

Sri Lanka denies submarine attack reports: Sri Lankan authorities denied that 101 people were missing after the distress call was triggered by a submarine attack on the Iranian ship, as initially reported by Reuters citing sources in the Lankan navy and defence ministry. The Navy spokesperson rejected reports of a submarine attack, while the exact cause of the incident was not immediately known. Both Sri Lanka's navy and the air force said they were not releasing footage of the rescue because it involved the military of another state, reported Singapore-based news portal CNA.

Knowing what submarines use to attack surface ships, I have my doubts that this was an attack by a US submarine, at least.

This exodus, including a high turnover at the NIH and NSF, followed the return of the Trump administration, with reports of a 11-to-1 departure-to-hire ratio and 75% of surveyed researchers considering leaving. The vast majority chose Europe as their destination.

I wonder why? 🤔 ‘Climate change is a hoax, inject disinfectant against COVID and nobody knows where the sun is going by the night and how magnets work‘.

The situation is going to get a whole lot worse before it can get better. There has been reports that countries such as India, China, and others have been actively promoting the acceptance of graduate level scholars across multiple disciplines.

This is how great countries collapse. When the smart people move out you are cooked. This is why America dominated for so long they all immigrated here. It’s only a matter of time. The dumbing down of America will have economic consequences. Thanks for the brain drain, Trump!

137 “DHS should request a signed judicial warrant to ensure this violent criminal is deported,” a spokesperson for Spanberger’s office told Minock.
---
Which section or subsection of the Immigration Code requires a judicial warrant?
Answer: None

No judge is required--IDK if they are even authorized--to sign an arrest warrant for deportation.

There is a standing, general warrant, by statute, without any judicial preview needed, that authorizes ICE to arrest any person who is here illegally.
No need for a second, redundant warrant.

This is a lie the Republicans need to push back harder on.
And not aim their fire at the left politician--aim it at the cartel judges who are encouraging those lies.

Posted by: XTC at March 04, 2026 08:08 AM (wa/yD)

150 KIMT News 3 reports that the lawsuit, filed in Polk County District Court, accuses General Motors of violating the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act through what the state characterizes as deceptive business practices related to consumer data collection and sales.

According to the legal complaint, General Motors began installing tracking systems in its vehicles in 2015 that monitored various aspects of driver behavior and vehicle operation. The systems reportedly collected information including vehicle speed, seatbelt usage, driving habits, and location data. This information was subsequently sold to third-party data brokers and insurance companies, potentially affecting insurance coverage and premium rates for Iowa residents without their knowledge or explicit permission.
========================
This issue would be a huge political winner for the GOP in the midterms. I would vote for whomever promised to end this, or make auto companies, phone companies etc get explicit permission before collecting and selling surveillance data to date brokers.

153 > We'll probably never know if/when all of Iran's submarines are destroyed.

-------------
IIRC Iran had one Kilo class diesel-electric submarine and a smaller number of "narco" like semi-submersible boats. The Kilo was probably the most capable, assuming it even had a crew trained for it.

It was sunk at it's pier on day one or two.

The submarine threat in the Arabian Sea, where the Lincoln Strike Group is operating is minimal. In the Eastern Med, where the Ford Carrier Strike Group is operating is actually more of a threat area for subs.

But not Iranian submarines. The Iranian Navy, with the exception of their IRGC fast boats, has ceased to exist.

Posted by: Martini Farmer at March 04, 2026 08:10 AM (jtM2q)

154 Iran claims to have 25 submarines, but the great majority of these are mini-submarines with a crew of 7. They carry two torpedos and a couple of anti surface ship missiles. Dangerous but very limited, I doubt they can go into deep water.

Daily Tech News 4 March 2026

Top Story

Apple has announced its new MacBook Pro range with update M5 Pro and M5 Max CPUs and faster SSD speeds. (Tom's Hardware)

The SSD speeds are simple: They're still Apple's awkward proprietary solution, but the speed has been increased to PCIe 5.0 levels. I'm not sure how much difference that makes to a laptop, but it's not unwelcome.

The CPU story is a little more complicated. Both the M5 Pro and M5 Max feature up to 18 cores, though only 6 of those are performance cores, or what Apple has retroactively renamed "Super" cores. They are the same as the performance cores in the existing M5 chips, which we know because those cores have also been renamed.

But the other 12 cores aren't efficiency cores, they're "Performance" cores, though precisely what that means we don't know.

Also, there's no longer a 512GB option; the price has been increased by $100 but the base model now comes with 1TB of SSD.

Most importantly, the price of memory hasn't increased. It's not exactly cheap, but it's not much more than the market price for regular DDR5 modules now, and provides a lot more bandwidth.
There's also a new MacBook Air and, expected tomorrow, the entry-level MacBook Neo. (Notebook Check)

Tech News

Arm's own Cortex X925 core - found here in Nvidia's GB10 AI processor - reaches desktop class performance when provided a desktop class power budget. (Chips and Cheese)

Seagate has started shipping 44TB hard drives. (Tom'ss Hardware)

You can't have one, or at least not yet. Right now they're only going to one large, unnamed, customer.
Intel has announced its new Clearwater Forest server CPUs with up to 288 cores. (Tom's Hardware)

They're all efficiency cores, but that's a valid option when you pack that many onto a chip.

28 Good morning, one and all. It's a rainy day here at the GPROMD and I'm finishing the first cup of coffee for the day.

Now I have no idea if this was covered under a tech thread in the past few days but apparently, California passed a law that all operating systems have to have some age verification in place (AB 1043). So it's not demanding photo ID and naturally, no one is going to lie about their age.

For now. The next step, as is typical of CA, is to proclaim that the law "didn't go far enough" and that they now require photo id and a facial scan.

46 Don't really feel like working out; I'm tired from less sleep than I think I need. I can skip today . . . but then I'll have to work out both Thursday and Friday to get four sessions this week. And the next two mornings will not be any cooler.

Tonight I run to the library to meet with the tax help people. I just want to see if their software produces the same result as my pencil-and-calculator method. If I'm right, that I'm due a tiny ($100) refund, I can mail my return this week. Or maybe tell the IRS to put the money toward next year's taxes.

The tax session may not be much fun. If Linda comes along, we can go to Haagen-Dasz for ice cream.

Good evening Horde. The time has come for very random mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety. Disco is handling the Wednesday ONT this week which leaves you stuck with the Dino tonight.

Welcome to the Tuesday night ONT which means another edition of very random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. i will be disappointed if the gray boxes are not full of puns and innuendo. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. Bonus points if you can ignore Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, etc. in the comments.

Today is the 150th anniversary of the Kentucky Meat Shower. The what?

From Wikipedia:

On March 3, 1876, a farmer's wife, Mrs. Crouch, was making soap on her porch when she reported seeing a piece of meat fall from the sky. She said she was 40 steps from her house when the meat began to hit the ground. Mrs. Crouch and her husband believed the event was a sign from God. Mrs. Crouch is on record saying that it was "snowing meat" and that "the meat fell with a snapping-like noise when it struck."

The source of the meat and specific meat in question were never determined. The shower reportedly lasted about ten minutes.

You may be asking "Did the locals celebrate the anniversary?" Yes they did.

150 years later, Meat falls from the sky again in this Kentucky county

More than 600 people watched the skies over Bath County late Saturday afternoon as tiny bits of meat fell to the ground. When they landed, onlookers strolled down the hill of Tom Byron's property to retrieve them.

What's for certain is the source was far different and much less sanitary than the 1,876 mini-meat sticks dropped by a small plane Saturday.

Then the plane arrived and over three passes, dropped the meat, which fluttered to the ground like autumn leaves. As soon as it flew away, folks of all ages began to pick up the packages, lured in part by a chance to win prizes.
Among the gatherers was Arliss Shelman of Woodford County, who tallied eight. "It's been a great meat shower," said the third-grader, before admitting it was the only meat shower he could remember.

***

Pet peeve and first world problem:

"How are WE doing today?"

"Are WE interested in ordering appetizers?"

"Did WE decide what WE would like to order?"

"Are WE celebrating any special occasion?"

"Are WE having dessert?"

Grrr....

Did you know the Venus flytrap has one of the most restricted natural habitats of any plant on Earth? There is only one place in the world where they grow naturally.

Venus flytraps are native only to a tiny region of the U.S. East Coast, specifically:
- A 75-mile radius around Wilmington, North Carolina
- Extending slightly into South Carolina

But why?

For millions of years, the Carolina coastal plain stayed:
- Geologically stable
- Mildly temperate
- Wet but not tropical
This stability allowed an unusual plant lineage to survive long enough to evolve complex snap-trap mechanisms.
Venus flytraps thrive in:
- Nutrient-poor, acidic, sandy peat soils
- Constantly moist but not submerged ground
- Open, sunny environments like wet pine savannas
These conditions occur only in specific coastal wetlands.
If you remove any of these factors, flytraps cannot survive.
Their habitat depends on frequent natural fires, which:
- Clear out competing shrubs and trees
- Keep the soil open to sunlight
- Maintain high water levels in the bogs

Now you know.

4 I just returned home from a week in São Paulo, Brazil, where the Tabernacle Choir performed four concerts.

The guest artist for two of these concerts was Ivete Sangalo, who is a HUGE star in that country. She did an open-air concert in São Paulo last month, and had *1.2 MILLION* fans show up.

This was my last trip with the Choir. I'll be retiring in a couple months.

5 Strangest and most unexpected part of this Choir trip? Having lunch, and then dinner a few days later, sitting at a table basically alone with Reverend Amos C. Brown (yes, that Amos C. Brown, check Wkikpedia) and his wife Jane, who oddly enough were traveling with us as friends of the Choir.

Not sure what to make of it, but I think we are actually friends now.

There have been many serial killers before Jack the Ripper made them famous.

For instance, Giles de Rais killed upwards of 140 children in 15th century France.

He was a nobleman into alchemy & the occult and killed mainly young boys for sacrificial parts to offer to some demon named “Barron” he was trying to summon to sign a contract in return for wealth.

There are a lot of these types of repeat murderers going back many centuries, they just weren’t known as serial killers but as “demon possessed” and called “monsters”, etc.

Many of the early multiple killers were women selling poisons to be used on victims, or poisoners themselves, usually killing spouses and relatives for money & revenge.

Nobody's claiming responsibility for this one (yet.)

My questions:

A) Is this real or is it a fake media-op? I've seen far too many fake injuries/deaths (same kid showing up "dead" at 5+ different explosion sites) from Fatah, Hezbollah, and others to automatically discount that possibility.
B) If this was real, was it mistaken targeting?
C) Was it a nearby targeting and it was messed with by interference? (We've had reports that China's messing with GPS signals in the area.)
D) Whose munitions was it? (Who is responsible?)

165 I'll say the drag coef. chart seems plausible. Pretty sure that I learned somewhere that race cars deliberately create some downward pressure airflow to get better traction and handling. That probably messes with lowering the horizontal drag, but race cars and sports cars have big enough engines to handle a wee bit of extra drag. And Volvos are/were not bricks because of extra drag, they are heavy and full of safety features to make it hard for that teen driving mom's car to drive like he is on a racetrack and end up crashing.

One reason western weapon systems are so expensive is we do not tolerate high failure rates. That level of engineering and quality control can easily exceed a basic missile where you just light the fuse and dive for cover.

185 Lower Cd doesn’t necessarily mean better “aerodynamics” whatever that is supposed to mean, or even lower drag force. Because it depends on what a particular coefficient is normalized to.

One value in a set may be normalized to a vehicle’s wetted frontal area adjusted for flow through and another normalized to a monkey’s butt. Shouldn’t they all just have consistent and obvious reference area, chord lengths, and aspect ratio calculations you may ask? AH HAHA HAH HAH HAH HAH sigh…

And if you are very lucky the study or your CFD guys will actually tell you something about the reference area of the vehicle or monkey butt, or not, and you cry into your slide ruler and make do.

I’m not bitter.

Pookette's teachers are warning us that she might have to transfer back to general math once she hits high school.

She's worried about geometry, though, because she didn't get my spatial intelligence. I think she'll do fine and I'm fighting to keep her in advanced math because she enjoys it.

224 Yeahhh, I'mma call bullshit on the aerodynamics poster.

Modern passenger cars, which all look alike, sit between 0.2-0.3. Only crazy concept supercars get much lower.

One of the most important factors, and the reason that literally everything looks like a Prius hatchback nowadays, is having the cross-section of your car's rear end being half the area of its maximum cross-section. Same reason short-range pistol bullets just look like a "U," but long-range rifle bullets have a boat-tail.

Also, being convex everywhere, like that bullet. Even modern sedans have a big sloping rear window and a tiny trunk lid, so they have a hatchback-like shape, without much of a concave angle where they meet. Pickup trucks, because of the giant right-angle from the cab to the bed, sit closer to 0.6. The Cybertruck looks like a mutant minivan just to get that down to 0.4.

The "sports cars" in the pic with the higher numbers have big spoilers, which convert drag into downforce to keep the wheels from spinnin', so their numbers might be correct? Tires/rims, and the shape of the wheel wells matters more than you'd think, too.

Having the (solid) tailgate up makes the mass of air in the bed into part of the truck, partially. So it gets closer to the ideal hatchback shape, with smaller concave angles and a bigger cross-section at the rear.

If she's bored in math, ask her teachers if she can nap during the first part of the class, because she's likely to catch up by the end.

The other option is something I did. I'd correct the teacher when they made a mistake. Teachers don't seem to like that much.

267 But you can’t compare those Cd values.

Drag = q * S * Cd

Where q is the dynamic pressure of course which varies with the square of velocity, and S is the reference area. Which reference area? Exactly. That’s the problem. It is going to be different for each vehicle and maybe even calculated differently. When you are presenting these things, like in a Horner Drag book you try to be consistent in methodology. These values? Who knows.

Line of backed up traffic with the last vehicle being a regular, stock Ram, obviously being used for work. First vehicle at the next light is a lifted ram with off-roading tires, suspension, vertical exhausts through the bed, the works.

This basTARD rolls through the red, *into the intersection* so he can get right behind the other guy, honking his horn, then leans through window screaming at the top of lungs "You call that a Ram?! THIS IS A RAM," and proceeds to roll coal all over all of us standing there.

You are talking Mode 4, the codes would change every day but would still retain the previous day's codes just in case of a goof.

Since three F-15Es were struck, it pretty much rules out three pilots forgetting to reset their IFF to ON when RTB or three different ground crews forgetting to load new codes.

So the focus is on the ADA folks much like everything focused on Gettysburg's skipper pencil whipping who was qualified to be in charge and the ship having data-link issues that prevented it from networking with the rest of the battle group.

318 292 Air defenses... who knows. Maybe something sitting on the ground , not planes.

damn near all aviation has IFF (military 100000% has IFF) but I believe the patriot and most air defense has a "auto" mode basically if it flies it dies but might require controller input for final weapons release authority and depending upon how crowded the airspace is that could have played a part and also weather or not jamsheed was distracted by his goat during air defense 101

323 Seeing the name of Dan Crenshaw, I started thinking of other never-Trumpers in our past like Kinzinger, McCain, and balloon head McMillin...who traveled with McCain to Syria. I think there was a thread of connection to them all in not wanting Trump to ever win, and worse. Their hands are dirty...well, McCain is dead, so I don't know what his hands are doing.

It's about as hard to find as the photos we've seen of Hillary "I don't know him" with Epstein, but I found one of McCain's trip to Syria. To find a connection is almost impossible now. Just as Hillary's photos with Epstein are now "AI." Ok.

If they had succeeded in stopping President Trump who knows where we'd be today?

326 Looking at the shoot down story - found the report. Ironically what makes it likely that another aircraft was involved is that all the pilots survived. Air to air missiles have smaller warheads than surface to air missiles and may just take out an engine, allowing the pilots time to eject.

The report said the shoot downs took place at the same time there were Iranian drones inside the security perimeter.

331 As far as I’m concerned, geometry is awesome, and involves the same part of my brain as learning foreign languages does.

Learning a foreign language involves learning how to “map” a sentence in English onto a sentence in the other language, and vice versa. So, for me, there is a geometrical component to language-learning.

Looked at some more pieces - one says that if it was Sidewinder missiles, they don’t use a radar lock so a pilot would have no clue he’d been targeted until his plane was struck. And he wouldn’t be looking for it because only friendlies carry those weapons.

Very High traffic environment... coming back from a mission into 'friendly' air space... and someone did not have the right codes for IFF...

Also, I'll bet the Command hammered into the pilots heads that if they were in 'friendly' space... they were supposed to be very careful about their actions...

Sometimes commands are so worried about how we will look to an 'ally', that they are willing to put our own at risk... not right... but seen it more than once.

338 If it had been a U.S. or Israeli missile, I would expect a statement like, "Yeah, it was one of ours. Took out an Iranian mobile IRBM launcher and two rockets. Too bad they parked it in a schoolyard. Muslims do that, you know."
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

Why the Iranians would park a launcher in the courtyard of a girls' boarding school you can ask them that yourselves. Or, as they admit, housing girls in a 'former' missile installation while the weapons themselves were moved over (checks notes) 100 yards. (an odd measure for Iranians, you'd think they'd use cubics).

Seriously, if the forensics was in the Iranians interest there would be hundreds of not thousands of photos posted and accessible.

342 Tone Lōc (Anthony Smith) turned 60 today. I spent way too long trying to find good YT link for "Funky Cold Medina"; 1989 was, apparently, not a good year for hip-hop production values. The videos online have different issues, such as having been obviously recorded from an MTV broadcast and redubbed with poorly sync'd audio, or "upscaled" into the wrong aspect ratio. The two live events I checked from that year are even worse, since his vocals are doubled -- he was brazenly just rapping over the album track.

So, here are your options: you can have a decent quality version of the original video, with very quiet audio, but at least you get his funny expressions; or you can have the original album audio, with decent quality sound.

In NYC? No. I was only at the NYC location once briefly but I've been to Harbour Court a number of times. The NYC sponsors lots of regattas and I had friends who were members so did some dinners and parties there.

Even if it is a pretty muffy and buffy spot it is a spectacular place.

382 I was great in geometry, got As. Algebra might as well have been an alien language. Crash and burned.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division

Well maybe I'm wrong then. But I excelled at both as did some of my college friends.
Posted by: BruceWayne

Same. But my degree is in engineering, which is for people who think geometry and trig and algebra are on the same level as "arithmetic" and "counting to 10."

That said, I coasted through all of calculus, and then hit a brick wall. Hard. I barely passed differential equations, so "computational fluid dynamics" or "antenna design" would not have been the careers for me. Definitely no chance of a double-major in math or physics.

Thanks, JQ. Going to bed early and hoping for the best after something hot but not this late with whiskey. That would make me dance and it would be rather pathetic. I refuse to dance pathetic.

I have inhalers, etc, sinus salt water stuff, Advil, yada for the battle ahead. The first time in a year, so doing pretty well.

My grandbaby was pretty sick (for her, she's tough and a cutie pie). If I'm not getting sick I want to take her again to help her mother so she can work. RSV is apparently doing its thing here altho her siblings seem immune.

She's so sweet she doesn't care, but her cough worried me before she saw a doc. It also stinks to be a nurse who worked with babies and pediatrics at one point of my schizo career. I knew she had it before she was diagnosed: horrid cough and no other symptoms.

Once again I'm imploring my fellow morons to read the USS Gettysburg report if they are confused about how things like this can happen.

If the USS Gettysburg, which was literally in charge of air defense for a carrier group while having known problems with its IFF system, can attempt to shoot down 3 US planes because they were getting jumpy about the drone attacks, then a Kuwaiti pilot can absolutely make the same mistake.

You can't expect pilots to be fully prepared to defend at all times against missiles especially after they reached friendly lines and are preparing to land. One of the crew apparently didn't even have time to prepare for the ejection because his hand was badly injured.

I'm sure there will be an accident investigation for this and hopefully it won't be classified and probably most of your questions will get answered.

It was an interesting class at times, with formulas for determining expected outcomes based on applications of different burdens of proof, etc., but ultimately was boring. Friend around the corner in the grad dorm, a Phi Beta Kappa (he occasionally reminded me) asked me a few days before the final when I was going to study for it (he wanted to study with me). "I'm not." He flipped out incredulous. "It's easy." "No it's not! It's hard!" "Here, let me show you how to do it...." I got an A. My 48-hour constitutional law take home exam was like that. Same friend wanders in at 11 a.m. (I had picked it up at 9). "Are you drinking a beer?!?" "Yes. Want one?" I went through quite a few. Third highest grade in the class. Civ Pro was in class and I was sober. C+. If I had just gotten a B, I would have gradumacated cum laude.

Yeah I can see that. It can be rough jumping to different genres, because its like a different language. You get muscle memory of all the different techniques of your genre and it can screw you up sometimes when you venture outside of it. I go through it enough with some of the metal dudes. I remember when ozzy went solo, and Randy Rhoads was the new thing. I had to retrain my fingers because back then it was sabbath, judas priest, AC/DC, etc., and there was a demand on trhe clubs to hear ozzy. A little while later Yngwie was the big thing, and he was sooo vastly different that after a long period of playing that I went to play an AC/DC song and I couldn't do it. My fingers got so used to shred style they were tripping over themselves to play AC/DC. They didn't work that way any more. Eventually yeah, and it all gets incorporated. Going outside the genre is even worse, a different language. Wait,You mean thee J geils? As in J geils band?

Then, buncha ragheads had a meeting & building got smoked.

The very first band I was in was doing a lot of AC/DC, and I had it down good, but man, you get away from it for a while and try to go back to it you might need to retrain your fingers a bit.

There's a published configuration for super hornets that has four AIM-9s. No idea how Kuwait has specifically configured theirs, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were carrying as many as possible, especially if the intent was to be a drone killer.

The older 'history' books were not PC crap. (Like Bruce Catton.) A great two-book series from one class is Paige Smith's "A New Age Now Begins." He takes the diary of an enlistee from CT, Private Plum Martin. Using his diary, he fills out what Martin didn't see. We end up with Sgt. Martin who survived the War. But Smith was able to incorporate the human touch from Martin's diary into Revolutionary War events, weaving them together. Just a damn good read.

The J Geils Band were a blues/Motown/rock fairly successful band in the late 70s 80s that had a few big moments like touring with the Stones as an opening act but never really cracked the big time other than Centerfold which was an abomination. But they could get an auditorium rocking. They were big in the Boston area but had a lot of competition in the Boston rock scene back then. J was pretty chill and hated the publicity part of it which didn't help.

But he knew foreign sports cars particularly Ferraris. Opened a business to restore them and raced vintage ones at Lime Rock. I got to pit crew for him a couple times which basically meant helped get the car to the track and not touch anything.

You would've liked his vintage guitar collection. I wasn't allowed to touch them either.

The longer it was a challenge the longer I stayed with it. When it become routine I moved on to the next one and absorbed that. Nu-metal on the other hand, hell no.

The coaches will call the plays your job is not to think, your job is to follow instructions from coach an blow through it for the win.

One of the dudes who comes to the shop and shoot the shit comes in at the beginning of last week and says his friend had a massive heart attack 2 days before and just got operated on. Got a triple by pass. Says his heart was at 30%. At the end of week he comes in and said his friend died. I asked wtf happened? he starts telling me, he says he was sitting on the couch at home.... I said WHAT? Home? wtf was he doing home already?? When I went in it was 8 days and I didn't have a heart attack, my heart was good, and I was there 8 days. WTF was this dude doing home 3-4 days after? I think he blew one of his grafts if you ask me. I think he signed himself out, his friend said he was pissed about being in the hospital, said he was going to leave. From what I was told he was sitting on the couch with his heart pillow, he coughed...boom, dead. Man if my surgeon told me to strip naked and swim in a shark tank, well yes sir. Home 4 days after...dude killed himself.

You sign up but if you're still working it goes into another bucket. But yes post 65 you are forced onto Medicaid. So like my dad still works but his main insurance is Medicaid but they pay less for him and my mom (also over 65 on Medicaid) because they have private insurance because he still works.

I'm single. TBH, I have no fucking clue.

I do know my friend will be 70 this Sept. She's signed up for Medicare, but not with a plan. SHe's still working. Married couples I really have no idea. There's weird rules.

For example, from what I've gathered, you can't use Prescription RX if you have Medicare Drug Coverage. And who wouldn't have such coverage?

Honestly, just check the Medicare website. It's pretty informative about such things. It doesn't just discuss plans and shit. With Mrs. B working, you may have to sign up but just not with a plan. But check.

540 Hubby has Medicare, plus "Plan G" (the best coverage, if you have any health issues, imo) and a separate "Part D" (Rx) plan.

"Advantage" plans are for healthy people. Dad had Advantage coverage (also known as: Part C) which is the easiest to get because you can sign up right on the Medicare website-- and is (IMO) crap if you have *any* health problems.

Medicare supplement plans, such as what hubby has, you must go to an insurance agent to sign up. They are more expensive than Part C, but have better coverage and lower or no copays.

544 the drag coefficient graphic ignores something. The Drag force, in pounds, includes muliplying the drag coefficient, with the dynamic pressure of the fluid, and (most importantly), the reference area of the device. In the case of cars, it is most likely the projected frontal area of the car. (in airplanes, it's the wing area).

So, the bigger the car, the bigger the drag force, most likely.

Posted by: mikeski

I sorta cheated my way through DiffEq. By "cheating", I mean that I got a much better grade by using knowledge that I wasn't supposed to.have.
One of the biggest obstacles is " knowing the form". When a student (and this happened regularly) asked the instructor solving a problem on the blackboard ,"How do you know which form this is?" , the answer was always, "It'll come with experience." So, come test time, everybody is trying different forms, running into a dead end, restarting with a different form, lather, rinse, repeat until "Time!"
Now, many EE courses.were a lot like short form Utubes, in math. "Fields" spent the first three weeks on the basics of Vector calc, "Circuits 4" did the same with Linear Algebra, and "Circuits 3"... well, I wound up taking some classes out of order so I had C3 before DiffEq, which led me to deriving Fourier Transforms, thence LaPlace Transforms.

549 BruceWayne-- if you're turning 65 soon, talk to an agent. Many have "medicare classes" with no obligation, so you can make an informed decision.

Plan G costs $216/month here for hubby-- and covers all but the ~$200/annual medicare deductible. Pays for everything that Medicare doesn't pay, and there has been no issue for him to get authorizations. It's outstanding coverage for the price, especially if you have *any* hospitalization or major outpatient expense!

Hubby has had 3 ER visits and 2 hip surgeries last year. Plus his eye issues (medical, not "vision" as in glasses) and ongoing liver & kidney tests & ultrasounds...

$zero out of pocket after deductible and premiums.

555 Beserker,

Yes, when you hit 65 (within 3 months, plus or minus), you need to sign up for Medicare, even if you or spouse are still working with vood insurance.

The process online goes through all the yes/no questions that describe your individual circumstance.

If you (or spouse) are still working with insurance, you will tell Medicare that, and you won't sign up for the expensive Part B until you stop having insurance, possibly years later.

The will sign you up for Part A (usually no cost to you).

If you don't sign up in the 3 month (plus/minus) window, Medicare will slap you with a premium $ penalty for a long time afterward.

558 Isn't he old enough to qualify for Medicare?
Posted by: Braenyard
---------

Yes. He has Part A (hospital only), Part B (the rest of medicare) Part D (an Rx ins. plan) and Plan G (medicare supplemental ins.)

Total cost? Less than $500/month. Excellent coverage, and costs less than HALF what I'm paying for a shitty 404care plan that covers just about *nothing*

559 (Contd)
Come test time, on a piece of scratch paper ( which I carefully did NOT turn in) I would do a Laplace on the problem, solve it, then do enough of the partial.fraction to see what form it was, go back and do the problem using DiffEq techniques. This didn't make me any smarter in terms of actually solving the problems, but, because I skipped all the flailing around that my classmates were doing, I got more problems completed than they did, and it bumped me up.the curve. That got me, barely, a A, which made up for the C I got in Electrical.Machinery 2, which was because of that unfortunate incident in the machinery lab... but that's another story.

I don't trust the government. I'd sign up for part B at the same time I sighed up for A. They keep talking about cutting back on it. And, I think, part B covers regular Dr visits and all the tests that go along with it.

And the older you are the more visits you will have.
It's in the actuaries.

Posted by: Jimmy Doolittle

That's the way it's designed, to force you into Medicare. If you miss the window, your Medicare premium (when you DO sign up) is raised, the amount of raise being set by how long you delayed. Wait longer, pay more. You're saving them money by not signing up, right? It should be CHEAPER, right? Nope. More expensive - you are punished for NOT signing up. And, the premium increase never goes away. Unless you are extremely wealthy, so that you can pay exorbitant medical bills on your own, you're screwed if you don't sign up when they want you to.
Medicare advantage plans have one really big advantage: convenience. I hand them by Humana card, I get one bill later for my portion. I also get documentation from Humana on what that should be. My wife dealt with.regular Medicare with her mother. The paperwork was ridiculous. 11 months after she died we were still dealing with the bills and paperwork.

My experiance is opposite. Before Medicare I had Blue Cross. They covered most everything I needed but the monthly (Oh when I started with them before Aids it was an annual fee of not that much) became exorbitant.

With operations and such I do pay the balance but hospitals allow one to pay it off monthly and relative to everything else it's not that much.

572 The documentation we get from Humana with our Advantage plans does something else: illustrate how absolutely byzantine and screwed up the entire medical.cost system is.
Prices billed have practically zero.correlation to costs. How do I know this? Because if they did, the doctors and hospitals could not possibly offer the "discounts" that the insurance companies get.
Doctor bills - $5460.
Humana discount - $4790
Humana pays - $610.50
I.pay - $59.50
No other business could remain giving an almost 90% discount.

My knee replacement cost me $325 when I walked into the Outpatient surgery center. I got a bill a month.later for another $116 from the surgeon, $45 for the anesthesiologist. IIRC, the "sticker price" between the facility, the PT guy there showing me what exercises I should be doing, the anesthesiologist, and the surgeon was over $20k. I wound up.spending (out of pocket) damned near as much as the surgery for copays at the PT facility for 2 days a week for six weeks.

BREAKING: Foreign agent Tucker Carlson lied that Qatar had arrested Mossad agents.
Turns out that Qatar had actually arrested 10 IRGC agents.
Allah has a sense of irony!
--
State of Qatar
Doha, March 3 (QNA) -- As part of ongoing efforts to protect the security and stability of the state, the competent authorities were able to arrest two cells working in favor of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the State of Qatar.
Monitoring and follow-up operations resulted in the arrest of ten suspects: seven of them were assigned espionage tasks to gather information about vital and military facilities in the country, and three others were assigned to carry out sabotage operations and received training in the use of drones. They were also found to possess locations and coordinates of sensitive facilities, as well as communication tools and technical devices.
The suspects admitted during investigations to their connection with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and to being tasked with espionage and sabotage activities.
The State Security apparatus calls on citizens and residents to remain vigilant and cautious and to report any suspicious activities to the competent authorities.
May God protect Qatar, its Emir, and its people from all harm, and may He grant us the blessing of security and safety.

Here's video from Sky News (I think) to prove this isn't just more Zionist Lies, as Tucker would say.

Fetterman's Lump had control of the body today, and spoke wisely.

Communist jihadist Zohran Mamdani announces free child care -- meaning, babysitters -- for illegals. I'm sure it's his idea that he'll pirate federal money to pay for this.

Regime thugs are shooting at protesters in Iran again. Send in the drones!

A very patriotic left-wing influencer says Trump should have allowed Iran to bomb US servicemen first, which would have given him a perfect justification to hit Iran and a "PR victory." He faults Trump for being so stupid as to not see the benefits of this awesome "let American soldiers die for PR points" plan.

In the previous post, Trump mentioned his anger at the UK for denying us the use of our own base at Diego Garcia.

Is this his vengeance? He wants the US government to create a corporation to insure cargoes going through the Strait of Hormuz. (Shipping companies will pay for the insurance, Trump just wants to spin up a company to provide it.)

This would have the effect of hurting the current main insurer, the UK super-insurer Lloyd's of London.

Check out Bill Kristol's opinion on Iran -- use military force to crush the regime -- from January 8, 2026, when he was attacking Trump for not attacking Iran, with his current opinion, that Trump must not be allowed a "blank check" to fight an illegal war in Iran.

The pro-Iran conspiracy theorists, in turn, are now denouncing Al Jazeera as "a tool of the Trump regime."

Tucker's Baghdad Buckley conspiracy theories are finding an appreciative audience among the jihadis:

Israel is planning to bomb the Gulf states, and the Gulf states are also facing attacks from Iran. Why? Because Israel�s vision is not to eradicate Iran, but to secure the goal of Greater Israel and to become the only dominant force in the Middle East.

Kirk Watson, while a dem, is not a crazed demon. And Abbott will not let that stand. Here is a story I believe: Reports that the Travis County District Attorney's Office might bring three officers involved in the Austin mass shooting before a grand jury quickly spread online and drew political attention—including from Gov. Greg Abbott. However, District Attorney José Garza told Chron that those claims are false.

"These police officers are heroes who saved lives," Abbott wrote on Tuesday. "Whatever the DA does, I will have the final say in the fate of these police officers." The story goes on to say things are just in the routine investigation stage.

109 87 There is usually an internal investigation for every police shooting. The DA would be the one to call for a GJ but I can't see that done before the internal investigation is complete. Granted this one seems cut and dry good shoot so investigation probably already done.

160 So - in Austin its SOP to go to the Grand Jury whenever there is an officer's use of force. What a ridiculous waste of time- hopefully this will publicize what seems to be a far left "Wren Collective" pushing this crap. But I am confident these officers will breeze in and out. Here's a bit more: " And the attorney hired by the Austin Police Association, Doug O’Connell, welcomed the opportunity to work with him while blasting the policies of the District Attorney:

“Sad but true, in Austin the Wren Collective requires the DA to have a Grand Jury consider charges every time a police officer uses force. And the DA completely controls the Grand Jury & decides what evidence they see and what they’re prohibited from seeing.”

I bet this will change soon.

Ayatollah Khomenei's manual of Islamic law, the Tahrir al-Wasilah. Page 229, Volume 3: ''Intercourse with a woman is not allowed unless she attains the age of nine years, regardless whether the marriage is permanent or temporary. There is, however, no objection in other sexual enjoyments like touching lasciviously, hugging and rubbing the thighs, even with a suckling infant.''

As Allie Beth Stuckey goes on to explain:

According to his interpretation of Islamic law below, there should be no punishment for raping a girl under 9, and it is no sin to molest even an infant. He goes on to say that if a man rapes his child bride and her genitals tear completely, she may still be considered his wife and he may still have complete rights to her.

A central Indiana school district has reportedly agreed to pay over half a million dollars to a former music teacher who resigned after refusing to call transgender students by their preferred names and pronouns.

Court records show the Brownsburg Community School Corporation has agreed to settle a lawsuit with John Kluge. The Alliance Defending Freedom, the group representing Kluge in court, said the district agreed to pay $650,000 and retrain senior staff on religious discrimination.

A former orchestra teacher at Brownsburg High School, Kluge resigned in 2018 after a policy change required staff to use students’ preferred names and pronouns. Despite multiple rulings in the district’s favor, officials said they agreed to a settlement rather than continue with litigation.

192 47 Honestly, I do not see the big deal about the cops in Austin. They were involved in a shooting- no matter how justified. I think it is always supposed to trigger a grand jury- which does not have to indict them. They might send them a nice note.
Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at March 03, 2026 07:01 PM (zZu0s)

I've been on a grand jury. A case being presented means a prosecutor is trying to charge somebody with a crime, potentially putting them on trial (short of a plea deal). It's well beyond simply investigating a police shooting to determine if it was justified. It means that some lunatic DA has decided that it was NOT justified, and wants to punish the cops involved.

On top of that, it doesn't seem like there's been enough time to even properly analyze any evidence that there might be. Witch hunt.

I don't know what the local laws are but every police force I am aware of benches a cop who has been in a shooting and there's an inquiry if the shooting was justified or not, possibly more if it was lethal. Its kind of like how British Navy captains were always court martialed if they lost their ship, no matter how it happened. It was a formality in most cases, they just wanted to make sure it was not done out of cowardice, incompetence, or malice.

They might want to hold on to some of that ordinance for the sectarian, inter-factional fighting that is brewing on their horizon.. At the rate they are losing 'leaders', the surviving 'pragmatic' IRGC lowlife will likely become regional/factional warlords, selling each other out to the Mossad to get them killed, so they can seize more territory and build their power.

A State Department spokesperson told the Daily Caller that the 32-year-old suspect, Jared Llamado of McLean, Virginia, was working for the department at the time of the alleged stabbing and his death.

"We have supplied the defense network for global oil shipping for decades. Everyone bitching about the US’s attacks on Iran today owes that iPhone or Samsung Galaxy in their hand to the US Navy (like it or not).

"The UK, through Lloyds and other insurance firms, have reaped the benefits of this and now, at a time we determined as critical, they enabled these nuclear blackmailers cover to hold the entire global economy hostage.

"Sorry, not sorry. If we’re underwriting those insurance contracts, our navy should get paid for the work."

Trump: I Told Scott Bessent to Cut Off All Trade with Spain

He says that Spain wouldn't let us use our bases in Spain, but then adds: "We could have used the bases, we could have just used them, no one's going to say anything about it."

In other words: Just try stopping us, Spain.

BREAKING:

Trump stated that the U.S. is cutting off trade with Spain over the decision by S�nchez�s far-left government to ban the use of Spanish military bases for strikes on Iran.

"So we're going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don't want anything to do with Spain."

My pet theory, backed up with some evidence as to how things turned out, is that Italy and France wanted to knock Libya off so they could take over the oil concessions and rape the shit out of them without paying anything to the locals but peanuts. (which is exactly what happened)

Arab Spring started in 2011 in Tunisia with a successful revolution ousting a dictatorship, then spread to several other countries. Syria ended up in long-term civil war, while Egypt had its dictator ousted but the military reasserted control a few years later.

In Libya, the rebels against Gaddhafi would have lost without Western intervention.

Also due to the insistence of America's political establishment that there is such a thing as "Europe", actively promoting the development of the EU and its suppression of national identities.

242 Trump deciding to have the U.S. underwrite insurance for oil tankers in the Gulf might be the final blow to Britain as a country.

From a global power perspective, managing global insurance is basically the only thing London still has going for it. If that's lost, it really is nothing more than a third-rate country.

That's not what I want, but that's where it's headed.

While he's at it, Trump should demand that Spain "voluntarily" agree to honor the ixnayed tariffs, forfeiting any refunds their exporters might want, before he opens trade back up. And then tell everyone else that wants a refund that he'll do the same.

Netflix Head Ted Sandaros Tried to Convince GOP Congressmen His Company Wasn't a Woke Groomer Propaganda Outfit.
Then Legislators Visited Netflix HQ, and Found Tampons in the Men's Bathroom.
Plus: Megyn Kelly, The Chameleon Princess of Pop Politics

Well, maybe we're a little woke.

Netflix tried to sweet-talk Congress into letting them gain near-monopoly power in the entertainment space. GOP Congressmen feared another woke propaganda monopoly. Ted Sanadaros lied, claiming Netflix was just an entertainment company with no interest at all in grooming children.

Well, maybe a little. (Caution: Links to poster for Netflix's 11-year-old-girls sex-twerking movie "Cuties.")

Charlie Gasparino reports that Netflix betrayed its woke agenda when they let Congressional investigators use the men's room.

There were many defining moments featured in the months-long battle for the ownership of Warner Bros. Discovery: sit-downs to woo President Trump, high-profile congressional hearings, a brutal bidding war, and a tampon.
Yes, a tampon.
During the negotiations, while Netflix was telling skeptical GOP lawmakers that it wasn't a left-wing company looking to get more powerful by snapping up WBD, a delegation of legislators paid a visit to its headquarters, and one was both shocked and disturbed to find a basket containing tampons in the men's restroom.
To be clear, there are other factors involved in CEO Ted Sarandos' decision to cancel his nearly completed purchase of WBD's studio and streaming service. But the "tampon incident," as it has become known on Capitol Hill, does carry some weight in the unwavering political opposition from the GOP to Sarandos' ambitions.
"This is 2026, not 2020," said one GOP staffer with firsthand knowledge of the matter. "What were they thinking?"
...
During the six-month bidding war, many Republicans in Congress, state AG offices and of course the White House came to believe that Netflix was seeking to create a monopoly in streaming -- an increasingly important way Americans consume entertainment.
Netflix denied this, arguing it faces competition for consumers from social media and YouTube, though opposition only seemed to intensify in recent weeks. One big worry: Netflix would use the market clout that WBD would give it to further push progressivism in its programming.
Sarandos has long argued that Netflix programming appeals to all political tastes, but conservative-leaning advocacy groups have produced research that its programming and documentaries more often push themes such as transgenderism, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), and other issues near and dear to the cultural left.
Sarandos and Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, meanwhile, are both big supporters of Democrats and progressive policies. Susan Rice, a top official in the lefty Obama administration and a staunch critic of Trump, sits on its board. It was Rice's inopportune comments on a podcast attacking companies that do business with Trump that is also said to have cost Sarandos more White House support for the WBD deal.

Now that Paramount (almost) owns WB, John Oliver will probably be the next to join Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel in the podcasting world.

"We might be getting a new business daddy!," Oliver quipped at the beginning of Sunday night's show. "Last Week Tonight" airs on HBO, which sits within Warner Bros. Discovery. Under the announced terms, Paramount plans to buy all outstanding WBD shares at $31 per share in cash, with the companies saying the deal is expected to close in Q3 2026, subject to regulatory clearances and WBD shareholder approval.

"Yeah, not great news," he went on to say. "In fact, if I may quote anyone who's ever accidentally sat on their Roku remote, I'm in Paramount now...how the f-ck do I get out of here?'"

Speaking of left-wing media that endlessly promotes the grooming of children: Highly Alleged Born-Again Catholic and #SuddenOnsetBasedWarrior Megyn Kelly, everybody, when someone else was signing her checks. Here she welcomes "transgender" children, between 11 and 13 years old, and a transgender agitator for "the Gender-Cool Project."

Boy isn't she based. I totally believe she is, deep in her soul, a totally committed movement conservative and not just another Holler-for-a-Dollar media whorecaster.

The entire psyop that is the woke right in one photo.

Then to top it off you have Iranian accounts in the comment� pic.twitter.com/QoEIPrkW7w
— Jacktron (@jacktronprime) March 3, 2026

Do you guys remember, when Megyn Kelly was attacking Trump on Fox most nights, and was about to abandon Fox for a left-wing network, she was reportedly seen at an industry event shunning all Fox personnel and spending the night giggling with Jake Tapper, Jim Schiutto, Don Lemon, and other CNN hard-left liberals?

I do.

In case I never said this here, I never thought Megyn Kelly was much of a thinker. I linked her not because she was a leader, but because she is and was and always will be a follower.

I took her as a reasonable proxy for what other follower-AWFULs were thinking. If even the AWFUL Megyn Kelly was turning against transgenderism, then I would take that as a canary in the coalmine that the left had lost ground on the issue.

Again, I never saw her as a cutting edge thinker that should be quoted because she was leading the discourse. I saw her a slavishly-imitative, social-status-obsessed follower and corporate fuckbunny who would be a reliable lagging indicator of where the other followsome AWFULs might be moving. Not a leading indicator, a lagging one. Watching Megyn Kelly would tell you where the national trend had been a year ago.

Which is still useful information. We don't usually see trends as they're happening. We often only confirm them after they've already happened.

Megyn will always move to where she thinks the middle of the pack is, where she thinks it's safest, where she's surrounded by the most bodies.

Especially male bodies. For a feminist, she really takes all of her cues from more decisive men. Roger Ailes, Brit Hume, Tucker Carlson, Glenn Greenwald, Nick Fuentes... this GirlBoss Feminist really needs a confident man, usually a blowhard, to tell her what she should be thinking at any moment.

Now that she's just Granny Groyper, she has no use to me. I don't need to know where Nick Fuentes and "Sneako" and Hasan Piker are heading.

I already know that:

BREAKING: Hasan Piker tells his audience how to commit terrorist attacks.

Bonus: A couple of trailers.

First, a new Scary Movie, this one featuring a lot of returning cast members. I know they're stupid and low-rent, but I did like Scary Movie 1 and 2. I'm a fan of Anna Farris.

Chris Elliot seems to come back for a cameo, too.

A few dumb anti-woke jokes. I'll take them. Light content warning. In one scene Anna Farris holds two big dildos like martial arts weapons. And it's just generally R-rated stuff.

Is it good...? Eh, it's like The Force Awakens before everyone caught up with me and realized it was a piece of shit: It gives nostalgia feels.

I don't like promoting Disney or its subsidiary Hulu, but Vince Vaughan did a new comedy.

31 Sarandos is definitely happy he got out...with a cool $2B at the expense of his competition (for being dumb). He knew what he was doing. If the economy craps out, the Ellison's will be stuck holding the bag at Oracle. All the debt they've amassed will wipe them out. I think Netflix knows this too.

If that comes to pass, he knows he can get the entire Paramount "ball of wax" for far less. It wouldn’t surprise me if Netflix didn’t drive the price up on purpose with this in mind.

Let's be real, Netflix was crushing everyone before this and will after this. I think I should catch up on John Oliver then cancel, because they will obviously pull the plug on that show.

i have no doubt president trump killed the deal. the administration always wanted paramount to win. crazy is right

What is going to be sad is how the Ellison's going to destroy HBO. HBO is a good product, this would of been great under Netflix. I am glad that Netflix is not going to fire Susan Rice from the board of directors.

The Susan Rice shit is crazy! GOP whose whole brand was about free markets is flat out telling companies who they can hire.

I'm sure her behavior as she went out the door was something else. She really thought she was going to the big time.

70 We get Netflix for free through a media plan.

Free Bert is on Netflix and it's HILARIOUS and not woke. Bert Kreischer in a sitcom sorta about his life, about trying to survive having two teenage girls going to a fancy Hollywood school. The woke psychopath parents, the policies, the entitled nepo babies, fitting in... It's really good, I hope it gets a season 2.

94 but conservative-leaning advocacy groups have produced research that its programming and documentaries more often push themes such as transgenderism, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), and other issues near and dear to the cultural left.

If this surprises them, they never tried to get the Alphabet people programming out of their netflix recommendations.

You could go into the "Don't show me this" list, click on all the categories you didn't want to see, click "not interested" on the specific shows you didn't want to see, the whole nine yards, and the damn things would still show up in "recommended for you".

Ever since they went streaming, Netflix has been all in on pushing the GBLTYQIEIEO on anyone who uses their service.

For Carter tho, he couldn't bomb Iran, they had a bunch of US hostages (and we were stuck, no they were not going to be martyrs, they were American husbands and sons who some of us knew). When Reagan freed them, he could not just obliterate Iran, the Middle East hated us. Only Iran could spend the next 49 years making an enemy of everyone in the region. Now Saudi gladly helps us obliterate them. For Trump, fortuitously, now is the right time.

215 I believe Tucker & Megyn both suffered viewership losses after the intense interest in the 2024 election when every political podcaster was making big bucks on YouTube & TikTok, etc.

They all probably lost half their audience when 2025 rolled around because a lot of people pulled away from watching politics and won't start back again until the end of 2027.

But then they noticed Fuentes and Candace Owens views out the ying-yang so they started testing the 'just asking questions' routine and noticed they got more views when they went with some occasional joo-hate.

It's probably more complicated than that but it would explain some of their moves over the past year.

Bin the Navy: Trump Announces Iran's Navy Now Sleeps With the Fishes;
US Bombs the "Assembly of Experts" As It Attempts to Choose a New Ayatollah

I mean, come on. Even if you're a pro-Iran antisemite like Tucker Carlson or Megyn Kelly, you have to admit it's pretty funny to bomb the "Assembly of Experts" as they debate who should be the next Ayatollah to be killed within days.

As Iran's ruling clerics moved to fill the power vacuum left by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death, Israeli warplanes struck at the heart of the regime's leadership -- targeting a gathering reportedly convened to choose his successor.
Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that the Israeli Air Force hit a site in the city of Qom where members of Iran's powerful Assembly of Experts had assembled. The 88-member clerical body is constitutionally responsible for appointing the country's supreme leader, and according to Fox News, the strike came as votes were being counted to name Khamenei's replacement.
Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency claimed the structure struck overnight was an outdated building no longer used by the assembly. Images circulating online from Qom show a heavily damaged structure reduced to rubble.
Khamenei's death Saturday triggered immediate constitutional procedures requiring the Assembly of Experts to act "in the shortest time possible" to select a new leader. Iran's ISNA news agency reported that the body had indicated the process "won't take long." Still, Reuters noted that officials may delay announcing a successor amid fears that any newly elevated figure would quickly become a target for U.S. or Israeli forces.

Trump also announced the complete destruction of Iran's Gulf of Oman fleet.

Iran's naval footprint in the Gulf of Oman has been wiped out, according to United States Central Command, which announced Monday that every Iranian warship positioned in the waterway at the start of Operation Epic Fury has now been destroyed.
On the third day of the campaign, the command posted a blunt update: "Two days ago, the Iranian regime had 11 ships in the Gulf of Oman, today they have ZERO."
The message was unmistakable. Tehran's long-running harassment of commercial vessels in the region, CENTCOM said, is over. "Freedom of maritime navigation has underpinned American and global economic prosperity for more than 80 years. U.S. forces will continue to defend it."

I don't know if that means their entire fleet. Do they have a separate Strait of Hormuz fleet?

One of Iran's only working weapons is its fleet of Shahid drones. (At least when Israel isn't stealing them to make false flag attacks on Tucker's beloved Qatar.)

The ship that carried these drones, for use in naval warfare, was sunk.

The IRGC�s drone carrier Shahid Bagheri has been officially destroyed and sunk, per CENTCOM.

This comes as regime officials claim the Strait of Hormuz is �more closed than ever� - despite heavy naval losses.

If confirmed, the loss of the Bagheri significantly degrades Iran�s� pic.twitter.com/rtLVTvKYnc

58 If W had toppled Iraq, flown into Baghdad, and then given a speech that said, "I have conquered with my mighty sky forces because your previous leader displeased me. I shall come again if your next displeases me."

The arguments against that at the time were:

1) Some other bad person might come to power
2) There could be a civil war
3) Iran could take over

Only really #3 should have been a concern. A civil war would be good - various factions of your enemies fighting each other means they can't bother you.

And our job in Iraq wasn't to give them good political leadership, just to make sure the new leader fears attacking the US so for #1...don't care.

Problem was much of the Neocon nonsense that the war was about "spreading democracy" and it being some humanitarian mission. That Iraq was going to be this "city on a hill" and change the Middle East.

Looking back, it really was all stupid. Even if Saddam had chemical weapons, etc.

Way more justification to go to war in Iran than Iraq imo. Iran's terrorism had a much bigger reach

No, we pretty much knew all their capital ships and those are gone. With no air cover, surface ships are simply targets. They do have the irregular speed boat swarms but unclear how those work in an active war environment with very permissive rules of engagement to shoot them from far way.

They are always available to the highest bidder, but they will switch sides on a dime if the incentives change. Sometimes 2 or 3 times in the same war.

As soon as it's clear who's going to win, they Qatari's immediately proclaim how much they always hated their old partners and how much they truly Love and Respect their new partners, the winners. That's who the Qatari's are.

140 Iran bragged about having a "mosquito fleet"; about 1500 glorified speedboats with .50 cal guns and a few missile launchers on them, kind of similar to the drug running speedboats in the carribean. Problem they have is that an A-10 could take out 20 or 30 of them in a single pass, they've got no defensive capabilities whatsoever - and if the USAF has been able to catch them in port, then they're already gone.

It does my heart good to see that stupid Baghieri gone, their supposed drone carrier. They took an old cargo ship and put a plywood flattop on it and said "look we have a carrier too!" No defenses, no escorts. No surprise that all it was one F-18 and one missile and bye bye, Baghieri.

Appeals to international law are really just small countries telling big countries what they are allowed to do.

Without an overarching actual governmental structure, though (which I'd never want on that scale), it's just manipulation.

International law is a joke and trash and should be laughed at when it shows its face in public. What matters in international geopolitics is power.

And America has a lot of power that it allowed small countries to bully it into not using for decades.

144 I think it's a mistake to dismiss them. They're smart, hard working, and educated, and there are an awful lot of them. They've made incredible progress in the last 20-30 years, just not as much as they claimed.

As a point to consider, when Chinese influence peddling in DC started to come to light in the late 90s, early 00s it wasn't considered seriously, in part because China was just a weak regional power.

So I do have to agree that they have made significant strides. But the problem is the endemic corruption in their culture. This is common in third world countries and this they have not addressed. This means while they have dramatically improved their industrial capabilities, one shouldn't trust a damn think a Chinese business claims their products can do.

*****************************

Although China's fertility rate dropped below replacement way back in 1991, past population growth and a stabilization of the fertility rate meant that their number of births was fairly stable for about two decades through 2017. It wasn't until 2018 that births began cratering, due to a combination of further fertility decline and the previous fertility decline catching up to them. This means that China has some years left to be quite dangerous, though the demographic clock is ticking.

200 The part of the Iranian navy that I am concerned about is the part that so far seems to be largely unaccounted for: their diesel submarines. They had at least 4 of these.

One was evidently in drydock at Bandar Abbas, so we might assume that it got taken out. That leaves the other 3.

Diesel boats are very quiet when underwater and operating on battery power, so much so that in multiple exercises with our allies who possess this kind of sub they have been able to slip through a carrier's escort screen and get close enough to take pictures through a periscope.

That's torpedo range.

I'll rest more comfortably when we account for the Iranian diesel boats. Until then, we have to hope that the SSNs that are escorting our CVBGs will be able to sniff out any of them that might be lurking about in the Gulf of Oman.

"A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer."

It's not a quote from that war criminal, Hegshit, though it's not beyond something that ghoul would say, I would bet.

210 One company I worked at wanted to enter the Chinese market, but Chinese law said you had to partner with a local Chinese company.

So we did...and the Chinese company stole our IP and started directly competing with us and drove us to mostly abandon the Chinese market.

A few years later a new VP decided, Hey we really need to improve our presence in the Chinese market and...partnered with a new Chinese company. You'll never guess what happened next!

228 Diesel boats are very quiet when underwater and operating on battery power, so much so that in multiple exercises with our allies who possess this kind of sub they have been able to slip through a carrier's escort screen and get close enough to take pictures through a periscope.

That's torpedo range.

I'll rest more comfortably when we account for the Iranian diesel boats. Until then, we have to hope that the SSNs that are escorting our CVBGs will be able to sniff out any of them that might be lurking about in the Gulf of Oman.

The Persian Gulf is shallow, so I'm not sure the subs could hide there.

The Persian Gulf (also known as the Arabian Gulf) is a relatively shallow body of water.
The most commonly cited and widely accepted figure for its average depth is 50 meters (approximately 164 feet). This value appears consistently in reliable sources like Wikipedia, World Atlas, Nations Online, and various educational/geographical references.

For context, the maximum depth is generally given as about 90 meters (around 295–300 feet), though some sources note slightly higher values (up to ~100–110 meters) near the entrance at the Strait of Hormuz.

I think, along with AH Lloyd, that Xi cannot afford a competent military because it presents a clear and present danger to him. Saddam ditto--his handpicked Republican Guard was faithful personally to him but his general army sucked. Iran seems to be demonstrating the same weakness because political loyalty to a shitty group of politicians or one shitty despot means that you cannot have personal competence at your job as military chief. It presents a clear and present danger to those types to overturn them.

So these governments divide and conquer, rely on cronyism and faithfullness rather than competence, and ruthlessly get rid of those smart enough and competent enough to pose a threat to the country's leadership.

324 Japan always had quality and always had IP protections because it has always been a high trust society.

They shipped junk because that was their market, mostly due to labor costs I won't go into. Old japanese tools and things are very high quality in domestic market.

Chinese are fast learners, and can probably make quality, but they are a very very very low trust society. If they can sell you crap, they will. They will cheat on materials, certification, IP, etc. They do because that is their culture after decades of communism and probably before as coolies.

Very true, now we think of things made in Japan as quality. My grandmother used to call made in Japan stuff junk.

Another thing that is not understood by most is that when you get stuff made in China from an American company it is the American company designing the shit to be junk, the supplier is just making it to spec, junk spec. That or the company has terrible quality problems. It is their responsibilty to manage that.

Posted by: Archimedes

Trajectory is downwards Archimedes. And that is an old problem with wares from China even back when the Emperor sat on the throne. The merchants and producers would put out excellent product at first to get buyers and then repeatedly cheapen the product until it quit selling. Then rinse and repeat with a new line. Those factories that have dual Western and Chinesium lines like for tools have Western QA teams for the Western goods, and very little if no QA for those Chinesium lines.

So quality variance on the Chinesium no name brands is simply rolling the dice. You might get good, you might get crap, but by the time you complain to Amazon, that vendor has folded and renamed itself something else.

And lastly, the recent years have not be kind to Chinese mfg profits and they have been cheapening every single product due to collapsing profit rates. Japan's quality trajectory was up, China's is at best stable for a few but the rest of the products downward.

There are presently four stealthy Shahid Soleimani-class catamarans armed with six inclined and 6 VLS tubes that can handle very sophisticated ship to ship missile tubes and a 30 mmm canon running around the Gulf unaccounted for.

The Iranians had plenty of time to fully arm them and send them off to hidden locations.

These represent the greatest threat to ships in the Gulf.

Prisoners of war of the emperor, the Japanese regulations said, were to be treated with a spirit of goodwill, never subjected to cruelty or humiliation, et cetera. And that is how the Russians were treated.

In 1907 the Japanese took part in an international conference at The Hague, where they agreed to the terms of a white man's convention about the treatment of POWs.

Not the point here. And FWIW, about 90 percent of Taiwanese populations are not native Chinese as such but more mutts and not surprisingly due to long Japanese occupation and influence are a hybrid culture. Only about 10 percent origin from those that fled the Chicoms and a lot of domestic politics there turns on that fact. Kai-Shek and his one China bullshit was not a favorite of the indigenous Taiwanese and that is still reflected in their political parties.

But, I am referring to a well known accounts of china and porcelain goods when traders brought them from to the West. Quality would start up fine and then deteriorate. Happened on goods like spices, tea, etc. as well which is why the Brits, in part, started plantations in India for tea.

406 Yeah, the Gulf of Oman is between the famous Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea (basically, the Indian Ocean), so this basically means that the Iranian Navy is penned up inside the Persian Gulf.

I'd guess that means that any threat the Iranian Navy might have posed to the US carrier group in the Arabian Sea has been extinguished. Maybe the carrier group can move somewhat closer to Iran now (which probably makes the carrier group even more powerful).

It doesn't seem to say anything about what this means as far as traffic through the Strait, except that a ship doesn't have to worry AFTER getting through the straight towards the ocean. Perhaps that area will be the next to be "cleaned up".

So it sounds like solid progress - an important milestone in the Naval part of this operation that came pretty quickly.

Trump: Tucker and Megyn Aren't MAGA -- Trump Is MAGA. Whatever Tucker Carlson Says It Has No Effect On Me.

Tucker is literally repeating the exact same propaganda as the pro-Ummah communist Ryan Grim. Over the past few days, Iran has shot missiles and sent its Shahid drones to attack all of the Gulf States.

In fact, Iran officially announced this was their policy: To attack all "economic zones" in the Middle East, chiefly energy production, I guess to compel the Gulf States and Saudis to rescue them from the US and Israel. Or to just punish them for supporting the war against them.

Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states have long been not-too-secretly acting with the US and even Israel against Iran, the real country that's "at war with seven of its neighbors," as Nazi crank and fat nepo baby drunk Tucker Carlson would say.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 IRGC threatens to strike all economic centers in the region

Iran warns Gulf energy infrastructure, ports, and power stations could be targeted as retaliation for U.S.-Israeli strikes, signaling potential wider economic warfare and pressure on allies.

This is inconvenient to the Gay Communists' claims that Iran is an innocent victim who Didn't Do Nuffin', so they're claiming that Akshually, all of those attacks by Iranian Shahid drones and missiles are False Flag Israeli attacks:

Saudi Arabia will eventually be able to figure out where the missile came from that struck their oil field, and if it's confirmed it was Israel, that'll have regional implications for a generation https://t.co/qooRUUT05n

Drop Site news is funded by George Soros and foreign Islamists.

And that's exactly what Tucker Carlson is claiming. His paymasters in Qatar were hit by Iranian missiles and drones, so Tucker claims... akshually there are Mossad agents planting bombs in the country where I'm "buying" a house to blame it on Iran.

Tucker is an absolute lunatic.

1) He blames the damage against the Gulf States on Israel, even when those themselves are blaming The Islamic Republic.

2) He claims that the Saudis & Qatar arrested Mossad agents that planned to bomb those countries. This is completely made up pic.twitter.com/eNrmNUu95H
— AG (@AGHamilton29) March 2, 2026

Inconvenient to his claim: Qatar's own Foreign Minister addressed this made-up slander he's pushing and said there is no evidence nor any reports of "cells" of Mossad agents planting bombs.

And Qatar is announcing they'll be taking action against Iran, too.

Not Israel. Iran.

🚨 President Trump torches Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson in new remarks on Monday night:
"MAGA is Trump -- MAGA's not the other two," Trump said in reference to Carlson and Kelly.
Trump says Carlson "can say whatever he wants; it has no impact on me."
On Kelly, Trump said: "Megyn was opposed to me for years when I ran the first time and nothing stopped me. And so, you know, some people are against -- and they always come back. She came all the way back. But now I guess she maybe doesn't like the idea of this war, but I do because I have to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of the Iranians."

For years, I was told that if I had any criticisms of Trump at all, or had any questions about his policy choices, I was a neocon traitor who just wanted to make Bill Kristol the president.

Well, for the "Trump Is Always Right" Contingent -- doesn't opposing Trump now and claiming he's Controlled By Jews make you the neocon Jew Traitors who just want Bill Kristol as president?

Nah, let me guess: You guys know exactly when disagreeing with Trump is treason, and you also know the exact moment that agreeing with Trump is also treason. And of course you know that Trump is now a Traitor to MAGA.

You guys just know. It's not that you have stunted, childlike intellects and make up whatever illogical "rules" needed at any moment to just claim you're right, no matter what the facts are. It's not just that you're immature, unsophisticated morons who cannot "think" in any terms except for endless embarrassing Appeals to Authority, and you just pick which Authority is actually authoritative depending on who you need to be the authority. Yesterday, Trump was the Highest Possible Authority, today, Tucker Carlson is, and Trump's a traitor.

Now go ahead, Tucker Suckboys, tell me that Tucker Carlson passing around claims he got off of Stormfront and from the Unz reader doesn't make him a Nazi-Nazi.

And then tell me that Cavernous Nostrils makes some really good points about Erika Kirk helping the Jews murder her husband because only Charlie Kirk stood in the way of strikes on Israel.

Rubio gave an insight into the reasoning.

Iran was so fast building a preventative dome of conventional weaponry that it was soon becoming impossible to pierce it to stop the nuclear ambitions. Nuclear ambitions that Iran was making very clear that they still had in their negotiations with Witkoff.

The US offered free nuclear fuel for reactors forever. Iran turned it down because they wanted to enrich.

So, they either dealt with this now, when they could manage it, or they dealt with it later, when it was no longer manageable.

29 In fact, Iran officially announced this was their policy: To attack all "economic zones" in the Middle East, chiefly energy production, I guess to compel the Gulf States and Saudis to rescue them from the US and Israel. Or to just punish them for supporting the war against them.
-
Or because their theology requires them to bathe the world in blood through an apocalyptic battle of them vs. all the infidels, at which point their 12th imam comes out of the well. Or something like that.

It's better for the rest of us that this is resolved before they had nukes and missiles with ranges that could reach us.

There is a principled argument to be made for isolationism. None of those above (and others in social media) are making that argument. And when in fact a war exists, then you want your country to win the war quickly so as peace can return even if you are an isolationist. You don't fantasize about a sekret Jews mind control or blackmail over the president.

That seems to be shockingly absent in past wars and it specifically comes from groyper fever swamps which are in fact, anti Semitic and partially generated and paid for by foreign powers.

And it is about the only way that Iran can influence the war right now as they get hammered--have their de facto proxies in the West in social media make their arguments for them to try to kill political support in the US for striking Iran.

Islam was the first enemy our new country ever had to fight. (We weren't a country during the Revolutionary War yet.)

IF there were no Israel, Iran would still want us dead.

Israel is something that offends them more because they have freed a land that was conquered by Islam.

But even without that, they'd still hate us. Islam ONLY responds to force that they cannot counter. Then they will be quiet. They won't ever stop hating you, but they'll fear you.

But, I'm sure that the Barbary pirates attacked out countrymen because of TEH JEWS too.

I accepted "MAGA" as not just a cult of personality around Trump, so the broader claim which Trump, could serve. Real progress, and not just "progress" along a narrative, which is what "progressives" are for.

What held me in place is people calling "Make America Great Again" essentially racist and jingoist, without seeing the broader implications that it's an idea that Trump can serve or diminish.

And he has, by far, served that.

Tucker was instrumental when (it appears) Fox producers could keep him in check. But now he just flounders about. But he can have his own idea about what makes "America great" and moving toward those ends.

I have no interest in being in a cult of personality of Trump. And MAGA is what Trump says it is.

102 I have a theory that right leaning pundits/media figures/celebrities are easier to co-opt preciously because there isn't a built in money making process for arguing for right leaning causes.

Look at what has happened here were Islamists can buy influence with Tucker, and probably the others as well. Why? Well, if you are a leftwing talking head there are NGOs, corporate gigs, FNM positions, and all sorts of ways for laundered tax dollars to end up in your pocket.

For right leaning figures sure you can have a podcast or show where you hock gold, reverse mortgages, or robot insurance, but that's not the income stream you can tap into if you start moving left...

I've confronted people on the net saying things like that with the fact that *Trump* had to change his tack on "The Jab". It's not life if Trump praised the "The Jab", his "followers" had to follow, per the narrative progs had dreamed up to "other" Trump supporters.

I remember even hearing that Trump supporters must be ignorant of Trump promoting the Jab. Even though, it's Trump supporters at his rallies, sitting on their hands during Trump patting himself on the back for "Operation Lightspeed".

I'll give him that it was impressive and if you measure it by the timescale the Dems were otherwise lying to him about (~2 years), getting it done in less than one is impressive, even if it just served to dup him into releasing what the ghouls in Medicine have wanted to try for a long time.

So, even though there is a good reason for that to make Trump feel Under-time/under-budget on that scale, his "fans" didn't join in. And Trump had to ask John Rich why that was.

114 In Anti-Trump Rant, Politico Finally Admits Biden Administration Was 'Dysfunctional'

This philistinism and historical ignorance was at the heart of Joe Biden’s case against Trump. Biden deplored Trump as an insult to the American political tradition and promised to make Washington work, repair broken norms and turn over power to the next generation. His slow-moving, self-admiring, politically dysfunctional administration achieved none of these things.

If there was a chance then to build a bridge to the 20th Century, Biden lost it.

124 I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood (I'm Catholic) and never had anything but good experiences. My Jewish friends would joke about our Christmas tree being a Channukah bush. Heh.

That having been said, the only thing I can attribute this overwhelming and seemingly timeless, Jewish hatred to is...Envy. Plain and simple. The Jews believe in and have strong religious and family values and a strong work ethic and those traits generally lead to success in life, in my not so humble opinion. Hell, it's self evident! But, because of that success many people - who DON'T HAVE THOSE TRAITS - hate them. All throughout history.

If you hate Jews you need to take a good hard look at yourself. And what you see may be revealing. But only if you have the integrity to admit it.

Where we concur with Trump, we're slavish. And where we are not slavish, well, that's just kind of dumb, seeing that we "worship Trump".

129 One of the instrumental tasks that Saudi Arabia has been doing under the radar has to do with an extension of Iran (The Houthis). They have been very agressive over the last couple of months in placating Southern Yemen. They've held peace talk negotiations in Saudi Arabia that resulted in the primary of the leader of the Houthis going on the run to Somalia. As a result of their efforts, Southern Yemen (and the Houthis) have settled down, and are not likely to respond to Iran's calls for them to complicate the matter on their behalf.

Part of the treatments which were all across the board, not only the vax, was monoclonal antibodies.

I had a case of covid in 2023 I could not kick for months, monoclonal antibodies helped me heal finally. In my case, covid caused massive blood pressure spikes on a random basis up to and including stroke levels like 220 over 140 and I had to pop Clonidine as soon as I felt a headache come on. Fortunately, my arteries and veins were clear and still are more or less from imaging. It was all the vid doing that.

And monoclonal antibodies saved lives with no afteraffects. Remember that when people blame Trump for the vax as well.

But on the whole his instincts are amazing. It's kinda like El Rushbo used to say... he was popular because he said things people already believed, he wasn't brainwashing anyone. Same with Trump; he's popular because he's actually doing things we've all wanted for decades

If you really want to dig into the finances, first, take a look at her responders on X and look at their profiles. Are they US based? Some of these grifters are getting paid by X for drawing people to the platform via engagement.

So given the large reservoir of Jew and Israeli hatred in the world and how X has become the de facto news source for the world, being anti Jewish and anti Israeli pays with all these Achmed, etc. that often adopt western nics reading, reposting, and liking the anti semitic posts.

The other unspoken shoe to drop is that Steve Bannon and his little pool of influencers are purposefully trying to obscure the fact that Steve Bannon routinely communicated with Epstein even more than Reid Hoffman did and had all sorts of plots mentioned to trying to oust Trump in Term 1 and replace him with someone else.

2) Russia is facing falling energy prices with Venezuela's infrastructure efficiency due to increase with capital investments. With the collapse of the current regime, Persian Gulf exports will increase with sanctions being lifted.

3) The US economy will expand with falling energy prices, lower government regulation, and more foreign investments due to the current tariff regime.

Yep and then the Biden junta made the shots mandatory. After having a severe case in 2021, I grudgingly took the J&J one day before it was withdrawn (April 21 I think). It helped resolve my lingering case of Covid and the bp spike/severe bronchitis situation. Then in 2022, another case--that one resolved by monoclonal antibodies, then another case in 2023 resolved by Paxlovid.

I have a genetic deficiency in my immune system that causes me to get ill very quickly on any respiratory virus so I do my best to avoid getting those.

I believe, somewhat in "aliens", and perhaps extra-dimensional beings. And have no idea what "ghosts" are, all though I've seen enough info to say there is definitely a manifestation of some kind.

However, I watched this documentary the other day on "alien encounters", and they usually happen to people who delved into the occult. It's hard to find an "encounter" withs someone who doesn't have some level of occult dabbling in their past.

BREAKING:

An official Muslim Brotherhood account is now sharing
@TuckerCarlson
’s most recent video about the US strikes on Iran in which Tucker says, without any evidence, that Saudi Arabia and Qatar arrested Mossad agents yesterday who were “trying to sow chaos” and set off bombs.

Tucker of course didn’t show any evidence. He just bashes the Jews and America, so the Arabs love him.

He is the jihadis’ favorite mouthpiece.

I was just wondering about the extent to which that was happening.

"Guerillas in the sea of the people" is
a core tenet of Maoist revolutionary warfare, emphasizing that insurgents must blend into and rely on a supportive civilian population for survival, logistics, and intelligence. The analogy, often phrased as "the guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea," allows smaller, weaker forces to exhaust superior opponents through protracted, asymmetrical, and unconventional comb

260 Effective IMMEDIATELY, I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade, especially Energy, traveling through the Gulf.

Ooh, ooh, I know the back story on this.

Lloyds of London is the #1 insurer for most shipping. They've historically had near-clairvoyant accuracy on pricing even relatively unlikely risks. It's widely believed that it's because their London HQ is very near MI6's and they get intelligence nobody else has.

Fast forward to today. They've cancelled all policies involving traversal of the Strait of Hormuz. Smart people have noticed this coincides with Trump and the CIA doing things without involving the UK government and MI6. Meaning Lloyd's is probably as much in the dark as Starmer on what's really going on there and what Trump and Bibi and bin Sultan are planning.

It's not about spurned lovers or bitchy high school girl cliques they should have grown out of 30 years ago. Unfortunately, that's what's guiding a bunch like Candice and Tucker - what they're against (TRUMP! JUICE!) rather than what they are for and how they're going about to get there.

A Virginia judge dealt another blow on Thursday to Democrats’ redistricting efforts, blocking an April 21 referendum while the case is heard in court.

Tazewell County Circuit Judge Jack Hurley Jr. granted a motion from the Republican National Committee that sought to block the April referendum, arguing against the timing and phrasing of the ballot question that would be posed to voters.

The emergency injunction is in effect until March 18, though early voting on the referendum is scheduled to start March 6.

There's been an amusing (for us) turn of events with MBS. He was terrified of his oil industry being targeted by Iran, so he took assurances from them that they would leave him alone if he would not allow his bases to be used to attack them. He went out on a limb and looked like he was bowing to Iranian demands and not supporting Trump in this.

And then Iran immediately attacked him anyways! So now he's not just mad at being attacked, he feels that the Iranians personally made a fool of him in front of Trump, and nothing pisses a man like MBS off more than having that done to him in public.

So now he's not just back on board with the US, he wants revenge for the personal humiliation the Iranians gave to him. Should be fun to see what he does.

334 "Trump is Always Right"?

Well, Trump is unique in my experience in that even when I think he gets something wrong, eventually he turns out to have been right most of the time. I first noticed that when he was saying birthright citizenship was BS, which I was SURE was unconstitutional. After I heard the arguments and learned the history, I found out he was spot on - I was the one who had been fooled all these decades.

The same might be true on tariffs, although I doubt you can really fund the whole govt on tariffs.

Where I think he's downright crazy is regarding his envy of "quick trials" in China. This is a guy who was railroaded into felony convictions, and he wants the govt to have the power to try and KILL you in short order? Not smart, I think. He certainly does seem to REALLY HATE drug dealers though (more than the actual drug USERS who fund them).

That stupid argument might make sense if this turned into Endless War and the NeoCons in the US invited the Europeans in to split the graft and corruption spoils similar to Oil For Food and the intended Ukrainian Grift.

Which is what the Europeans are interested in, trying to find an angle where they can skim off hundreds of billions in nation building and ROEs that do nothing more than keep the MIC fed with no gained ground or any objective other than fattening up the bottom line on the quarterly reports.

373 366 That stupid argument might make sense if this turned into Endless War and the NeoCons in the US invited the Europeans in to split the graft and corruption spoils similar to Oil For Food and the intended Ukrainian Grift.

Which is what the Europeans are interested in, trying to find an angle where they can skim off hundreds of billions in nation building and ROEs that do nothing more than keep the MIC fed with no gained ground or any objective other than fattening up the bottom line on the quarterly reports.

Curious cases, both of them. Both were willing mouthpieces for the GOP establishment, making countless millions doing it, but both have spoken out AGAINST that establishment, once it screwed them.

Megyn, of course, was famously at the tip of the spear in FOX's attempt to derail Trump's first election (it blew up in her face, naturally).

Even when Tucker would be pro-Trump, it was in the condescending way (that I also see in the articles here, BTW). He was literally born into the Washington establishment, and it often shows, even as he criticizes it (sometimes viciously). He's on THAT SIDE, even as he complains about how they do things.

They both have been refreshing and convincing voices at times, but now they seem to be getting back to their "roots" as a couple of media whores. The question is, who are they really working for these days?

Megyn I did not trust since 2016,bleeding from every orifice, altho I let my guard down briefly. Then, with the Guthrie kidnapping wahoo, she had a crazy click hungry chick on who spread the false information (from a source) that it was the son-in-law. I hope she gets sued as well as Megyn. Poor Megyn needs a new hairdo and seems anorexic or bulemic on top of other stuff going on in her mid-life crisis or perimenopause.

Owens one day is going to start pulling her hair out in clumps on camera, unless it is a wig. If a wig she'll resort to pulling out her eyelashes one by one (which is called trichotillomania). While singing mournfully that she's gonna jump down, turn around and,"Pick a bale of cotton."

Which brings us back to the Ellie May / Granny thing, where I admit to being wrong previously.

The mastermind of the whole Beverly Hills Bank Clampett swindle was the one person who controlled the endless series of misunderstandings, who managed the deranged President and chief depositor, who knew and went on a date with the bank's chairman of the board, who was connected to all people who they were in contact with and who undoubtedly ended up with all the money.

433 Looks like Events have taken on a life of their own and are moving too fast for any way to save that regime anymore. That tends to happen in situations like this.

The only way I could see it coming to a stop is if the regular army (NOT the IRGC) announces that they want to take over leadership and depose the Mullahs, we might let them try.

But they should have made that move already if they were going to. If they don't, then they can just go down the toilet with the rest of them.

I was always a "Mary Ann" guy, myself.

I don't know what it was about Elizabeth Montgomery - she didn't have the fabulous curves of Barbara Eden or Raquel - maybe her Southern charm (even without the Southern accent)? But she definitely had SOMETHING that made all the guys fall in love with her. Maybe Eden had a sort of "girl next door" thing going on, besides being all around gorgeous. Perhaps the best of both, from the other two? But Montgomery you could take more seriously - lacked the dimwitted blonde thing.

Supreme Court Votes 6-3 to Suspend California Law Which Permits Teachers to "Trans" Students Secretly Without Telling Their Parents

Two liberals and one libertarian joined the two conservatives and the pudgy RINO.

This is not a final order. However, it reverses a Ninth Circus appeals court ruling that would have put this lawless "law" into effect during the litigation.

The Supreme Court cleared the way Monday for California schools to tell parents if their children identify as transgender without getting the student's approval, granting an emergency appeal from a conservative legal group.
The order blocks for now a state law that bans automatic parental notification requirements if students change their pronouns or gender expression at school.
The split decision comes after religious parents and educators challenged California school policies aimed at preventing schools from outing students to their families. Two sets of Catholic parents represented by the Thomas More Society say it caused schools to mislead them and secretly facilitate the children's social transition despite their objections.
California, on the other hand, argued that students have the right to privacy about their gender expression, especially if they fear rejection from their families. The state said that school policies and state law are aimed at striking a balance with parents' rights.
The high court majority, though, sided with the parents and reinstated a lower-court order blocking the law and school policies while the case continues to play out.
Supreme Court rules against private prison firm facing forced-work suit from
"The parents who assert a free exercise claim have sincere religious beliefs about sex and gender, and they feel a religious obligation to raise their children in accordance with those beliefs. California's policies violate those beliefs," and burden the free exercise of religion, the majority wrote in an unsigned order.
The court's three liberal justices publicly dissented, saying the case is still working its way through lower courts and there was no need to step in now. "If nothing else, this Court owes it to a sovereign State to avoid throwing over its policies in a slapdash way, if the Court can provide normal procedures. And throwing over a State's policy is what the Court does today," Justice Elena Kagan wrote.

Groomer ghouls. They want all children to be gay or trans, and they want the state to impose this on them.

All of the communist groomer outlets claimed the Supreme Court blocked "protections" for "transgender youth" and diminished their "rights." In fact, the law was about ordering teachers to transition children against their parents' wishes and in secret.

All parents should adopt a minimum level of religiosity, even if they're nonbelievers. The Court keeps ruling that only a religious objection is valid when objecting to the state grooming your children to be trans. If you're like me and you object for non-religious reasons, they say "Fuck You, that's not a good enough reason to be a transphobe, bigot. Unless you have some kind of religious basis for your trans hate, you have to let us groom your children."

So everyone with kids should just make sure they go to church or temple once a month.

California state senator and congressional candidate Scott Wiener asserts that some children "will die" as a result of the Supreme Court blocking a state law that prevented parents from learning if their child has transitioned genders at school if the child demanded secrecy. https://t.co/XyMiAdLqya

I have a feeling that at some point in the future some lawmakers, as well as teachers "will die" as the result of some butchered, mentally ill "children" coming to whatever senses they have left and exacting revenge for the mutilation that was done to them, which incidentally didn't fix their problem because their problem never was fixable surgically.

49 Thought of the day.

Just before the recent SCOTUS decision on tariffs, the NYT released an article about how 90% of the cost was paid by the consumer as inflation (that is a lie.) Not just the NYT, but the entire media seemed to be softening the ground before a strike against MAGA -- did they have forewarning?

Going back to the Dobbs leak, I think I (maybe everyone) has been looking at it all wrong. Maybe what was unprecedented about that was that the receivers of the leak published the leak instead of just using it to inform their reporting. What if SCOTUS decisions have always been leaked to the right people to help influence the decision before release and maybe solidify waffling justices, and to set the narrative? Isn't that the smart thing to do with intel?

You don't announce that you broke the enemies code; you use the information without revealing the source. What if the main reason there were no repercussions from the leak is because it was routine? They can't reveal the leaker because they are all leakers, and they can't punish the leakee because it would reveal that.

51 I don't know how any state government can attempt to justify schools not telling parents about the medical condition of a student. Because ultimately, the same state governments will hold the parents responsible for their children's overall health including medical care and the expenses. Unless Cali's law also says the State will pay all gender change-related medical costs of the 'shielded' minors as a dodge around parental-responsibility laws.

80 This is an odd law and, while I'll take the win, I'm not sure there will be any practical effect.

Why? Because as I read the law, it's not about schools being required to tell parents that their child is "transitioning." The law prevented schools from telling parents unless the kid consented.

The Court explains it thusly: "The parents object that these policies prevent schools from telling them about their children's efforts to engage in gender transitioning at school unless the children consent to parental notification."

So the schools can go right on hiding kids' transitions -- almost certainly groomed by perverts at the school -- from the parents.

My understanding is that "religion" reverts to mean "conscience" and it requires no outward display according to case law. The courts can not say "well, if you go to this church, then OK, but only if you go more than x times a year." That would be endorsing or establishing or something. Not sure the rest of society agrees with me though.

Simple fix for this. Since few 18 year olds have collateral, require a co-signer, either a parent or the colleges themselves

And I take a step back, if an 18 year old with no assets came in and asked for $250K to start a business they would almost certainly be denied. But for an unnamed college degree they get accepted?

Posted by: EveR
=======
Probably. The judge in the NY case claimed that Republican Malliotakis (sp) district was not diverse enough so ordered NY to add additional minorities from Dem adjacent districts as to make the district majority minority. Think the district centers around Staten Island from memory which is the most Republican area of NYC. District judge specifically used racial criteria (Ironically Malliotakis has Hispanic ancestry I think) to set up the new district lines. That is precisely the issue at stake in the upcoming Lousiana case where the Voting Rights Act as amended is running up against the 14th Amendment.

The VRA contemplates and allows judges to set up majority minority districts where a minority is sure to win because these rotten boroughs are set up that way with a majority of minority voters (IRRC 60 percent or so).

That's just it, when college loans were mostly in the private market, sensible limits were in place. In turn, that meant colleges couldn't jack up tuition to the moon. Ability to pay was a factor.

The sticky wicket is the phrase subject to the jurisdiction thereof in the 14th regarding natural born citizenship. Court allowing Trump's declaration to stand means that it has to deal with the question about a large number of people suddenly without citizenship (at least one or two justices Roberts and ACB would find that objectionable as mean).

By kicking it to Congress to define, the Court removes the legal issue from the courts but allows Congress the power to legislate and they can obviously do so in such a way that the law applies to future situations without taking the citizenship from past recipients.

Sort of legal muckery that Justice Roberts delights in.

"I know what the War Powers Act says--but I also know what the Constitution says!" (Not a direct quote, but close.)

The War Powers Act is one of those "clarification acts" that Congress passes. Thus it is a law to ensure the President's role of Commander and Chief and the Congress' prerogative to declare war are both not marginalized.

Kaine probably knows better. But the Dems just need "a side".

Oh, we can never get into war without a Congressional declaration of war?!

What were Korea and Viet Nam?

That's right, "police actions". i.e., Congress punting the decision to the executive action.

167 Going back to the Dobbs leak, I think I (maybe everyone) has been looking at it all wrong. Maybe what was unprecedented about that was that the receivers of the leak published the leak instead of just using it to inform their reporting. What if SCOTUS decisions have always been leaked to the right people to help influence the decision before release and maybe solidify waffling justices, and to set the narrative? Isn't that the smart thing to do with intel?

You don't announce that you broke the enemies code; you use the information without revealing the source. What if the main reason there were no repercussions from the leak is because it was routine? They can't reveal the leaker because they are all leakers, and they can't punish the leakee because it would reveal that.

Posted by: Oddbob

Hmmm, my research says The Apostle John is the author of five New Testament books: the gospel of John, the three short epistles that also bear his name (1, 2, and 3 John) and the book of Revelation. John was part of Jesus’ “inner circle” and, along with Peter and James, John was given the privilege of witnessing Jesus’ conversation with Moses and Elijah on the mount of the transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-9). His importance in the twelve grew as he matured, and after the crucifixion, he became a “pillar” in the Jerusalem church (Galatians 2:9), ministered with Peter (Acts 3:1, 4:13, 8:14), and finally was exiled to the island of Patmos by the Romans, where he received from God the majestic visions that comprise the book of Revelation.

Isn't that the John of Patmos you are referring to?

There has long been a strain in GOP judges that are pro corporate but quite liberal socially. Roberts and ACB reflect that. Gorsuch is an oddball where he tries to apply textualism but in such a way as to ignore past history and tradition along with legislative history reflecting what the words mean. So you end up with ludicrous reading of a law where Trump can regulate by stopping all imports, banning any transactions with a country, interfering in percentage of components that are US made, and so on but not administering a tariff.

The question was whether a tariff met the standard for being a type of regulation and most people would say yes, in common knowledge, that a tax or fee would be 'regulation'. Gorsuch argued that it wasn't.

We do know the history of the Apostles, and what came after the biblical record of them. John the Apostle was the only one to die a natural death of old age. But there is no record of him being sent to Patmos.

Also, at that time, it was common practice to add a famous name as an author, so that the letter/epistle/gospel/etc. would get noticed. It wasn't so much lying about who wrote it, but more like advertisement, "in the style of". The Second Letter of Peter was probably not written by Peter, and the same is true of several of the Letters of Paul.

John's Apocalypse was most likely written later than the Apostle John would have been alive.

Gavin Newsome is currently throwing all trans people under the bus because we're not "normal" or "relatable" enough, so forgive my current lack of enthusiasm.

SCOTUS says there's a parental right to hurt trans kids, but not to help them (*Skrmetti*). conservatives always neglect the fact that children have rights and aren’t the property of their parents. They’ll be coming for women vis a vis husbands soon enough.

Being trans is not up for debate. It’s a medical condition, a disorder of incongruence between what the body should be and what it is...Many children discover this incongruity at very young ages, like 2-4...And the longer it goes untreated the worse the outcomes for the person become.

And that is an obvious answer and why Trump no longer is using the Federalist Society as the sole source on new judges. The Ivy schools are rotten and have been for some time, the past Scotus lineup included a judge, Robert Jackson, who never went to law school (but passed the NY bar exam) and was a private lawyer until he became FDR's confidant. Ditto for Lincoln who was one of the great trial lawyers in IL.

We need a broader source for Scotus than the Ivies which came about because GOP presidents used the superior credentials of nominees in order to prevent Dem filibusters of nominees. That is no more so we need to bring in a lot more judges from other jobs and sources as the US did in the past.

224 182 We do know the history of the Apostles, and what came after the biblical record of them. John the Apostle was the only one to die a natural death of old age. But there is no record of him being sent to Patmos.

Also, at that time, it was common practice to add a famous name as an author, so that the letter/epistle/gospel/etc. would get noticed. It wasn't so much lying about who wrote it, but more like advertisement, "in the style of". The Second Letter of Peter was probably not written by Peter, and the same is true of several of the Letters of Paul.

John's Apocalypse was most likely written later than the Apostle John would have been alive.

I don't think knowing the history or authorship of Scripture casts doubt upon its Truth. Those who wish to believe in opposition to Scripture are likely to do so regardless of the history and authorship. Those who believe in the Truth will not be swayed by believing someone else wrote what God intended. Factual and scientific inquiry is a gift from God, who has given us reason for a reason, and there is no part of Scripture than disagrees with reason, either.

But a writing's attachment to the Apostles was one of the chief ways that the Church Fathers decided what was inspired.

Eusebius is the earliest person I know of that declared that John of Patmos was not John the Apostle. Irenaeus disagreed with Eusebius, but the argument still holds, I believe. I learned this in college in the 1990's when I was studying to become a Dominican nun. I know the sources are mixed, but try Catholic Answers. The various apologists offer all the arguments.

As for Titus and Timothy, at least one of them (I don't remember which) was written after Paul was martyred. That doesn't mean it isn't inspired, obviously, so don't think I am making that specious argument.

Nope. It isn't Subject to the Jurisdiction thereof means that the original common law jus soli (US never used jus sanguinis directly--arguably it did in the case of two US citizens having a kid abroad or in US territories like the Panama Canal Zone).

The rule of common law is now bound by statutory, in this case constitutional, language that not all births in the US on its soil are in fact citizens. For and was applied so regarding Native Americans. Native Americans until Congress changed the law, if they lived on a reservation and were not taxed, could not vote or claim US citizenship. That happened in the 1920's and implies that Congress can and has dictated who is subject to the jurisdiction and who is not.

275 Mary the mother of Jesus was 1st cousin to Elizabeth the mother of John the Baptist. So, that makes Jesus and John the Baptist 2nd cousins?

Luke 1:36 reads in part "And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son…"

The Greek word used here is συγγενίς (syngenís), which means kinswoman, relative, or family member.

Elizabeth was from the tribe of Levi (Luke 1:5), Mary from the tribe of David so the relationship could be maternal lineage as in both their mothers were related.

276 The relationship is described in Luke 1:36 And behold thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age.

I don't know Greek, but in English, though we usually use the word "cousin" to describe a first cousin, it can be used for more distant relations as well.

Rates of incest are much higher than people believe (or want to believe). I strongly suspected this was true when I worked at the legal clinic. DNA tests show shockingly high rates of incest, and that would only be intercourse and not anything short of that.

282 Meant to say Subject to the Jurisdiction thereof is a limitation on the old common law jus soli and thus the meaning of birthright citizenship is altered. It is clear from the debates in Congress over the 14th that it was never meant to apply jus soli to everyone who has a kid on US soil. Diplomats, for example, or Indians.

Instead, the meaning is to be found in the Dred Scott decision. Taney claimed that blacks could never be citizens of the US regardless of free or not status nor recognition of states as such. Subject to the jurisdiction thereof and the whole natural born citizenship clause of the 14th was meant to explain the US Constitution's original statement, subject jus soli to limitations, and to override Dred Scott and make blacks citizens of the US by being born here.

Long argument not suited for grey boxes nor a tired and worn out body (me).

287 All parents should adopt a minimum level of religiosity, even if they're nonbelievers.
You shouldn't really need to. The trans thing is absolutely a BELIEF SYSTEM, not a mere rational decision. So, by their imposition of that system on you, it's absolutely a religious burden they are imposing. BECAUSE it's an imposition of beliefs. Established law says the system cannot require you to prove your belief is "sincere" except insofar as that you held it before and do not appear to have developed it solely in response to an otherwise equal imposition of the law.

The other part of this should be that parents are the sole arbiters of their children's lives, except insofar as endangering their health or well-being*. Except for this religious insanity of trans-ing (and homo-ing), parents have ALWAYS been the final decider of all medical procedures and such for their children. Heck, we had to have signed waivers to even take a Boy Scout to the hospital for an emergency during camp.

289 Here’s my observation based on countless cases and arguments. You have a liberal contingent on SCOTUS whose views are antithetical to the constitution they are supposed to revere and protect by oath. Their goals and pursuits are political, not legal nor constitutional. In the end they are subversives.

That’s not a political statement. It’s grounded in every decision they have participated in. It’s not that they have a different judicial philosophy. That’s demonstrably false, as there is no consistent methodology- save to consistently vote against established constitutional principles and render judgement to the converse.

This is symptomatic of the poison, of the disease which infects today’s judiciary. They are a branch with little established constitutional role for this very reason. That is, unelected judges can, and have taken over a role the were never meant to have. They’ve become a fifth column inside our government and until someone has the balls to take them to the woodshed, we will continue to suffer the ills they are forcing on society.

Video of Bill and Hillary Clinton Depositions Released

It's pretty meh.

They lie and lie and lie, but the lies are not proven to be lies in the deposition videos themselves.

The deposition also included "Pizzagate." Asked whether she had ever seen Epstein-related files referencing coded language tied to the claim, Clinton dismissed it outright. "Pizzagate was totally made up," she said, noting it led to a 2016 shooting at a Washington, D.C., restaurant.
Hillary Clinton repeatedly denied ever knowing Epstein personally.
Bill Clinton, meanwhile, faced extended questioning about his interactions with Epstein, including multiple flights aboard Epstein's private jet.
Asked directly whether he had ever discussed young women or girls with Epstein, the former president responded, "No."
He told lawmakers he had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal conduct at the time and insisted nothing in his past correspondence reflected awareness of illegal behavior. Clinton acknowledged traveling with Epstein in the early 2000s in connection with foundation-related work, including trips to Africa, Asia, and Europe. He said he believed he first met Epstein in 2002.
He confirmed Epstein had visited the Clinton Foundation office in Harlem and that he had made a brief visit to Epstein's Manhattan residence.
Lawmakers also pressed him about a photograph showing him in a hot tub with an unidentified woman at a hotel in Brunei. Clinton said the stay occurred at the invitation of the sultan and that members of his team, along with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, were present. He said he did not recognize the woman and denied any sexual relationship.
"I had forgotten that there was anybody in the hot tub," he said.
He also read aloud a note he had written for Epstein's 50th birthday, describing Epstein's "childlike curiosity" and wide circle of friends. After reading it, Clinton remarked, "Not a bad letter," while maintaining it did not reference or imply knowledge of criminal conduct. "I thought Epstein was interesting and curious," he said.

As reported, Hillary Clinton did in fact "scream" when asked by Nancy Mace about current Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Lutnick "maintained a relationship" with Epstein despite lying about having broken off relations. Google AI:

Based on documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice in early 2026, U.S. Commerce Secretary and former Cantor Fitzgerald CEO
Howard Lutnick has faced scrutiny for maintaining a relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that lasted much longer than he previously acknowledged. While Lutnick has not been accused of any wrongdoing, the revelations contradict his earlier claims that he cut ties with Epstein in 2005.

Apparently these questions are about using Howard Lutnick as an intermediary to ask Jeffrey Epstein for a bribe. She wanted a "donation" for her graft organization, the Clinton Global Initiative.

NEW: Hillary Clinton starts yelling during a heated exchange with Rep. Nancy Mace during her Epstein deposition.

Mace: �How do you know Howard Lutnick?�

Clinton: �Howard Lutnick missed being a victim because he was delayed dropping��

Mace: �I know that. I asked if�� pic.twitter.com/7QR6YOKWze
— Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) March 2, 2026

Correction: Whoops, I assumed Lutnick was a Clinton Commerce Secretary. Nope, Trump's.

Bill Clinton started off strong, immediately lying about having lied under oath. He was disbarred for perjury.

During his deposition regarding his relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton says he�s NEVER lied under oath.

Q: �Have you ever lied while under oath?�

CLINTON: �No.�

Picture a meme where bureaucrats "getting DeSantis'd" means getting nationally highlighted for their scummy work driving up living costs for working stiffs in their city or state, and it becomes something everyone wants to avoid, since recall elections and pink slips tend to follow.

I have given this some thought, and there isn't really any one single department head position that can make use of all the administrative talents that DeSantis has shown. If not that, then something like it.

Thank you for Clinton thread. The two of them, Hill and Bill make me sick with their smug, self-righteous 'you'll never catch me because you're too stupid' attitudes. You can tell by the way they answer questions they believe they are untouchable and that we're all too stupid to realize we're being lied to.

I have always thought Hillary was the worse of the two. For a time I mulled over the admittedly somewhat remote possibility that she was the anti-Christ. Now I see at best she's one of the lesser demons.

Watching President Clinton speak in the video is interesting in the sense that he sounds old and feeble, but that’s probably an act.
I don’t know what these hearings have done, but if it satisfies the MAGA base, I guess it served its purpose. Since Secretary Clinton’s Benghazi “what difference at this point does it make?”, I refuse to watch or listen to anything that she has to say. No reason.

Also, Starmer trying to keep the UK out of all this (letting US use their bases but committing no other resources) and keep his hands clean is rich, since a lot of these problems are due to conflicts in the middle class the Brits created.

He said as a boy his father told him to never visit Clarke and refused to let Clarke come to their house. But one day the father got called away on work and left him in the care of his grandfather.

Clarke came over and wow'd the grandfather since he was such a famous author and got him to start drinking. With the grandfather distracted he then convinced the boy to let him paint him...naked.

And about this time the father got home and chased away Clarke.

116 92 Keep in mind why Clinton was elected in '92.

Bush 41 had run on a platform of no new taxes. The Democrat congress offered him a trade, new taxes for spending cuts which he agreed to.

Then all the Democrats campaigned against him for raising taxes and the spending cuts never actually happened...

117 "They lie and lie and lie, but the lies are not proven to be lies in the deposition videos themselves."

As I've been saying, depositions are very overrated when it comes to getting to the truth.

Deponents can lie through their teeth, everyone knows they are lying, but there's nothing that can be done at the deposition to "prove" they are lying.

Depositions are a one-way street: it's the deponent's story and only the deponent's story. It's not like a trial when you can put another witness on the stand to say "this person is lying and the truth is ...."

Fun trivia: Bill Clinton, George Bush, and Donald Trump were all born in the same summer, 1946. Trump in June, Bush in July, Clinton in August. Joe Biden is actually a Silent, born in 1942, and Barack Obama is a late Boomer ("Generation Jones") born in 1961. We have not had a Gen X President, and since J.D. Vance is a Millennial born in 1984, it could be a long time (if ever).

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at March 03, 2026 12:37 PM (GBKbO)

Not exactly. It was a job application to the Medici rulers of Florence, after they'd deposed the Florentine Republic (Nicky was Secretary of State). The Medici kicked him out of office, like all the other republican officials, and sent him into internal exile.

About 2 months later, they went to his country estate and arrested him, suspecting that he was part of a planned counter-coup against the Medici. They tortured him with the strappado (same torture the North Vietnamese used to permanently damage John McCain's arms). Found that he wasn't part of the plot under interrogation and released him.

About a year or two later, he'd completed The Prince and forwarded it to Lorenzo de Medici, basically begging for a job (see the cover letter in the text). They didn't trust him so the begging didn't work. Ironically, years later they changed their minds and used him as a special envoy for various negotiations, but never gave him a regular position.

So that's - they were proud of it.

The citizens need guns. If US/Israel don't want to provide them then agents on the ground should lead them to an armory. A agent would be able to pick more responsible types. But they need guns.

Not really sure what is the plan (and I shouldn't be because OPSEC obviously) but targeting is now on vehicles, trucks, etc. along with the remaining missile launches. As Trump set out along with Rubio, they are going after the security state apparatus. From reports, it appears that the Basiji and the IRGC have left their offices and are trying to hide among the populace either in mosques or other places. The risk is that the population knows and is reporting these things via their shiny new Starlink terminals linking up with the rest of the world.

Mao required the forces swim within the population to survive strikes against the guerillas but that doesn't work when a big proportion, probably most, of the population apparently hates you.

My personal guess is that they are going to overrule Trump's executive order but toss the hot potato over to Congress saying that Congress does have the power to legislate. Pretty clear from the act that allowed Native Americans on reservations to become citizens and vote that the power ultimately rests with Congress.

The Morning Rant: Marco Rubio Is A Star, And He Isn't The Only One In The Cabinet!

Our current Secretary of State may be the most consequential one in the last 50 years. Marco Rubio is teaching a master class in how to be a statesman, a diplomat, and a powerful and unapologetic defender of the president's policies.

And as JD Vance dabbles in partisan politics, and perhaps even flirts with the lunatic faux-right, Marco Rubio is cementing his position as an indispensable part of President Trump's administration, and perhaps a rising star for the 2028 Republican Presidential nomination.

Here is Marco Rubio's press conference on March 2nd, 2026, which has been butchered by the mainstream media to make the administration sound as if it is flailing. But a full listen will reveal a perfectly prepared presentation of the rationale behind our preemptive strikes against the Iranian theocratic maniacs.

Secretary Rubio has full command of the facts, and presents exactly the correct tone of deference to the President without sounding like an apparatchik. There is no parallel foreign policy being conducted on the sly...he is a proud American, a proud member of the Trump administration, and gives the impression that he is 100% on board with the President's goals.

It is a testament to President Trump's resolve to be a different president than in his first term; he has chosen a far more impressive cabinet, with a few bona fide stars. Rubio, Scott Bessent at Treasury, Doug Burgum at Interior, Pete Hegseth at War, Lee Zeldin at EPA, RFK Jr. at HHS, and several others who are comporting themselves well.

Sure, we can bitch and moan about a few others, in particular Bondi at Justice, but President Trump has constructed a superb cabinet without any of the political turmoil of his last administration and, more importantly, without the disloyalty that was rife among the GOPe-chosen officials.

I look forward to these people continuing their work for years, if not in the next Republican administration, then in Congress or their state houses or governor's mansions!

But the realities of confirmations put a lot of power in Mitch's hands.

Can't recall where I read this (maybe something Tulsi said?), but most of Trump's cabinet have been hanging out with each other at Mar-a-Lago for several years. Most of them, such as Tulsi and RFK jr., had been "cancelled," so that not only are they experienced in a hostile media, but have decided that they will fight for what they believe in despite them.

Trump no doubt has used the years between his first admin and his current one to truly vet his team, ensuring they will not drop him when under lawfare. Sounds like he was also team building, thus ensuring that his cabinet is not a team of strangers, but a team of friends who communicate and coordinate with each other directly.

Rubio can keep the foreign policy portfolio as VP, Vance can concentrate on domestic items.

Assuming they're not all arrested on January 20, 2029, after the D's win. (If the D''s win.)

Statements from prominent Democrats make it clear that they are planning something like January 30, 1933 in Germany - they intend to crush the opposition so throughly that there will never be a chance that they would lose power in the future.

Not a prominent Democrat, but wimp Will Stancil in Minneapolis expressed what is now conventional wisdom in the Democratic Party:

"Eventually the Trump regime will collapse, because it’s built on a single rotten, 79-year pillar. When it does, the army of cranks who have tried to shelter under the boss’s seeming impunity, in order to commit crimes of their own, will have nowhere to hide. We must scour them out of our society."

We all know what that is like, first thing it to navigate your interactions with the other employees, who just happen to be experienced legislators, whereas you are a newb. So, then you have to start picking lanes, and that is the process that will ultimately define your values.

I need to dig into the details but it is maddening how the US Navy managed to gold plate into unaffordability a proven design in the Constellation class.

Not to be outdone, Hegseth has cancelled the USAF E-7 Wedgetail which was supposed to replace the small aging fleet of E-3 AWACS. The E-7 was a design proven by the RAAF so again need to find the details on why it got chopped. The assertion that E-2 Hawkeyes can pick up the slack does not seem to pass the smell test unless they are tied into the remaining E-3s.

Rubio, Scott Bessent at Treasury, Doug Burgum at Interior, Pete Hegseth at War, Lee Zeldin at EPA, RFK Jr. at HHS, and several others who are comporting themselves well.

I think he would have loved a stronger cabinet from the start.

But the realities of confirmations put a lot of power in Mitch's hands.

Getting Mitch out of leadership and putting weathervane Thune in did a lot. Thune is willing to do the popular thing. Mitch was never going to do the popular thing unless it aligned with his pre-existing motives and desires.

But Israel would. To throw gasoline on the fire, no doubt. They want as massive of a retaliation as possible so Americans die and then hope that sells mass mobilization to the American people.

Yep. Israel’s greatest desire is to puppeteer America into murdering Muslims for them.

What's tragically comical here is either we intentionally targeted school children or accidentally killed school children. Both are equally terrible news.

Also, understand the number of Iranians that are now radicalized (bacause we bombed a school of young girls) and promise retribution to Americans

Except every day when there is inaction on solving school shootings. "Thoughts and Prayers."

There is a documentary on HBO called Thoughts & Prayers about the school defense industry. It becomes painfully obvious why these people don’t want school shootings to be stopped. Too much money to be made!

158 Hegseth has cancelled the USAF E-7 Wedgetail which was supposed to replace the small aging fleet of E-3 AWACS.

Tech is moving very fast; there might be something being fielded that's better already.
Posted by: Auspex at March 03, 2026 11:25 AM (Y8DZL)

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) has officially terminated its E-7 Wedgetail program as part of the fiscal 2026 defense budget rollout, citing significant cost overruns—increasing from $588 million to $724 million per aircraft—and concerns about survivability in contested environments.

Despite earlier plans to replace aging E-3 Sentry AWACS aircraft with a fleet of 26 E-7s by 2032, the Pentagon announced in July 2025 that it would cancel the program in favor of space-based sensing solutions, including the proposed Golden Dome system, and additional E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft.

Apparently, Congress said, "No. We're using this plane, dammit."

172 There are only three things that can happen in the Senate according to Senate rules:

1) Debate
2) Vote
3) Quorum call

If the Senate is not conducting one of these things, it is considered to be out of session and ending the Legislative Day. That's why when nobody is on the floor doing anything because they're all lazy fucks, someone will "Suggest the absence of a quorum," forcing the Clerk of the Senate to call the roll, which she/he does at a snail's pace. Like one name every few minutes slow, just to eat up the clock.

Pro Forma sessions are agreed upon by unanimous consent so as to avoid a debate/filibuster/vote on putting the Senate into recess when there isn't a wide agreement on doing so. Every three days or so they gavel in, sit there for five minutes, and gavel out.

179 Setting up a rocket launcher near a school.... sounds right on point for the Iranians.

A note about launchers; Iran has a manufacturing pool that spits out missile/rocket launchers very quickly. They're not specialized pieces of equipment like those the US (and other countries) use. They're basically commercial trucks with locally built launch equipment bolted on.

It's one reason why after days/weeks of bombing there are still hundreds of launch vehicles available for the thousands of missiles in storage.

Defanging Iran of their suicide drones, rockets and missiles is going to take a while. A long while.

I don't care that much about public persona, Obama wowed a lot of people with his public persona, but I don't know what you mean by steady the department. It's pretty obvious the DOJ/FBI was at least tied for the most corrupt department in the government. First task was to get rid of those people which in some cases included gutting entire divisions and doing it while keeping the plane in the air.

And she is up against what everyone can see is an out of control activist judiciary that is just making shit up to throw sand in the gears. Still, the DOJ has an outstanding record of actually winning cases when they get to superior courts including the Supreme Court. And unless Brennan and other conspirators are lying there is a grand jury currently hearing evidence of a decade long conspiracy against Trump in Ft. Pierce, Florida. And the FBI is putting up record numbers across the board.

By nature, these cases take time. She can't just call in a bombing raid. She might not be the best in front of the camera but the overwrought complaints are the laughable part.

Marco Rubio is ONE of the most consequential, but if there was only one, I'd say George Schultz, Ronald Reagan's top tier pick for the job, was the best. A Princeton Man.

Personally, I would prefer him at State to oversea the remake of the Western Hemisphere. Vance is very suitable as Prez. His job would be to tear the Midwest out of its death spiral. California can fuck itself.

Same. I think JD Advance (the official name for the "fat JD" meme) is going to be good and possibly even great, and Rubio's work at State is too important to change. In particular, Vance is currently the only prospective '28 candidate to have spoken about the Great Replacement, and that's likely to be an issue in the campaign.

It really does seem like political personalities have moments to run for president.

DeSantis' national ambitions have been steamrolled by the fact that we now have two much more prominent GOP politicians at the national stage.

His 2024 run was misguided, but it still made sense. He was probably never going to have a higher profile than that moment. It was then or never.

Would that have changed if Trump had appointed him AG, or something? I dunno, but the moment is definitely past.

Hear me out: Freedom & Affordability Czar. An interdepartmental portfolio focused on deregulation, both identifying prime candidates for regulatory recission across the Federal gov't, and identifying legal levers that can be used to incentivize the same at the state and local level. Picture a meme where bureaucrats "getting DeSantis'd" means getting nationally highlighted for their scummy work driving up living costs for working stiffs in their city or state, and it becomes something everyone wants to avoid, since recall elections and pink slips tend to follow.

I have given this some thought, and there isn't really any one single department head position that can make use of all the administrative talents that DeSantis has shown. If not that, then something like it.

To make the indictments and to have them actually stick takes a lot more prep than anybody with a D after their name would need. A lot of this stuff has to be filed in DC, and so she is against an exceedingly hostile court. Every move she makes will be dismissed, and she will have to appeal it. These cases need to survive appeal, too.

Can she even build cases that even a DC court does not dare to ignore? Hell, it took five years to finally get the Supreme Court to say "the candidate has standing to challenge the conduct of an election." Five freakin' years to get even that pathetic little ruling!

341 A further thought to the above...

2028 is not guaranteed for Vance or Rubio to take the helm. If somehow the Dems grab the Presidency in 2028, their day one action will include summarily dismissing everything that Bondi built. She really only has two years to get what indictments / convictions she can. No matter what, it's not going to be satisfying -- but it will be pretty much all that could be done under our current court system.

139 I once had a flat tire in a large van on the Cross Bronx loaded with 10' 5/8" sheet rock and studs. The jack wouldn't lift the van with the weight of the sheet rock. Had to remove the studs and half the sheet rock, standing it against the stone wall at roadside, then change tire, reload the rock. Heavy traffic going by, slush and snow on the road, getting splashed the whole time. Quite a workout, surprised to survive.

Interestingly, it comes from Alberta 51, who want to join the US.

The Alberta 51 Project presents a stunning 5-minute video on how Operation Epic Fury was carried out, and tells the strategy, tactics and stealthy preparations behind what Israel calls Operation Roaring Lion (the lion being the symbol of Iran under the Shar).

It might look like the makers of the Inside Operation Epic Fury video (How the U.S. & Israel Struck Iran), the Alberta 51 Project, belong to some kind of strategy entity but they are actually "dedicated to supporting education to Albertans on why we should become the 51 state."

228 The Cathedrals of Broadway, 1929
Florine Stettheimer

I doubt I'd hang it but I do like it a great deal. (A painting with a huge American story behind it.)

>The Met Collection, Cathedrals of Broadway
"The Cathedrals of Broadway captures the magical atmosphere of neon-lit theaters, which offered films as well as live performances. As the United States entered the Great Depression, many Americans turned to the world of entertainment to escape reality. Here, New York’s mayor Jimmy Walker throws out the first pitch of the baseball season in a cinema newsreel. An elaborate stage show takes place below the screen, while the names of famous theaters glow around the central proscenium arch. Stettheimer gives little hint of the harsh conditions that confronted many New Yorkers in the 1930s."

What if the objective is to just punish Iran's leadership until it decides to stop fighting? What if the objective isn't to create a path for a predetermined leadership change, but to create the incentive structure for leadership to follow?

St. Peter's in Rome is constantly full of tourists.

The Vatican easily kicks everyone out and only lets in congregants for masses that take up the whole space, otherwise they have a couple dozen chapels throughout that get roped off and worshiped in.

The whole church design for hundreds of years was really based on that idea of people wandering around and other people actually worshiping.

It's a bad excuse.

The Morning Report — 3/3/26

Good morning kids. And so, despite President Trump serving up heaping helpings of KABOOM to Iran's leadership . . .

President Donald Trump said Monday the initial strikes targeting Iran killed dozens of Iranian leaders during a breakfast meeting with Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Trump confirmed Khamenei’s death in a post on Truth Social Saturday, hours after he announced the commencement of Operation Epic Fury early that morning. “Special Report” host Bret Baier told “America’s Newsroom” co-hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino that Trump was “pleased”with the progress of Operation Epic Fury.

. . . over here it's turning into déjà vu all over again. Or is it? Has the President betrayed the MAGA movement and one of its bedrock principles of no more endless and pointless wars? Obviously the usual suspects on the Left and Right are bleating this out to sow political division for their own advantage . . .

As an aside, I have neither seen nor heard of any reaction from John Kerry. Considering he was one of the chief architects of Obama's nuclear deal that put Iran squarely on the path to getting the bomb, and was often parlaying and paling around with Javad Zarif and other big wigs of the Iranian regime, Even post his tenure at Foggy Bottom, his silence is interesting. Imagine if his rotten criminal corpse turned up in a Tehran mortuary!

But, it may be semantics but in my estimation what we're seeing with Iran is not going to be endless and certainly it's not pointless.

The two questions, which most of us outside the government simply do not have answers to, are: First: Was the threat posed by Iran really that great? Second: Can we effectively and efficiently install a friendly regime in Iran? Those are the two questions. Everything else is noise. . .
. . . This is not being pitched as Iraq 2.0. It is being pitched as a decisive, overwhelming, time-limited force. The early days have been extremely successful. Military leadership decapitated. Key targets neutralized. A regime that has openly threatened American interests for decades suddenly thrown off balance. But early success does not guarantee long-term success. A billion things could go wrong.

Indeed. And so far, so much has gone so incredibly right, the deaths of US servicemen as well as any innocent civilians notwithstanding, but such is the nature of war. As I and others have said and written here and on the podcast as well as elsewhere, The Iranian regime such as it was (and I hope and pray my use of the past tense is correct) had already spent the better part of nearly 50 years spilling rivers of blood, quite a bit of it American, all over the world as far and away the number one state sponsor of terrorism and also in that time had been hell bent for leather in building and acquiring nuclear weapons and sophisticated missile delivery systems, all of which to bring about Armageddon as the precursor to Shiite paradise on Earth and the final conquest of the world, capping off the 1,500-year crusade to make it Islamic from pole to pole and ocean to ocean.

Whether or not President Trump truly understands the existential threat that Islam poses to global peace and the advancement of civilization and human development from an historical, ideological and intellectual perspective I can't say. But that he does take that 50 year chants of "Death to America" and the regime's bloody history is self-evident insofar as where we are today.

And of course there are other considerations vis a vis this President's desire to see America's status in the world as its preeminent power and the driving force of its destiny, not merely for his own place in history but for the sake of ensuing America's security and prosperity well past its 250th anniversary this coming July.

With Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil-export terminal, in flames after Saturday’s US-led attack, China’s energy lifeline is going up in smoke.
Ignoring international sanctions, oil-thirsty China had long been the Ayatollah Khamenei regime’s main buyer.
To be sure, China was a cheap customer, paying well below the going market price for Iran’s bootleg oil.
Not only that, it insisted in paying in Chinese yuan, not dollars, ensuring the money would flow back to China.
Beijing’s slick sales pitches convinced the Iranians to spend their oil billions buying China’s military and telecommunications equipment — like the “state-of-the-art” radar systems that now lie in smoldering ruins after failing to detect the incoming American air strikes.
But the decapitation of Iran’s leadership and the destruction of its Chinese-made defense arsenal aren’t the worst of Beijing’s Middle East woes.
Iran’s reckless missile barrages have united the entire region against it — causing an enormous loss of face for its chief international backer.
Two years ago, China was riding high in the Arab world.
In March 2023 it brokered a normalization agreement between Shiite Iran and its longtime Sunni adversary, Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Investment Minister Khalid Al-Falih praised the new Middle Eastern power broker.
A multipolar world had emerged, he declared — and cooperation between the Gulf states and China would be “a significant part of the new order.”
A year into President Donald Trump’s second term, China’s role in that new order seems to be shrinking by the day.
It’s not just that Iran, the anchor of China’s Middle East ambitions, is now an international pariah.
That’s only the latest in a long series of recent geopolitical setbacks for America’s chief adversary. . .
. . . From Panama to Venezuela, from Greenland to Iran, the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place.
Trump is thinking very bigly.
As US energy production ramps up, China is not only deprived of cheap oil from Venezuela and Iran, but also the ability to pay for it by printing renminbi.  . .
. . .His goal is to transform the global order to America’s advantage — which necessarily means greatly reducing the malign influence of Communist China.
“Winning without fighting is the acme of warfare,” the ancient Chinese strategist Sunzi famously said.
And where China is concerned, it seems that one of Sunzi’s best students is a yangguizi — a “foreign devil” by the name of Donald J. Trump.

Have a great day!

10 No, the three from Iran was not too great, the point of taking out Iran is similar to why Trump took out Venzeula, it's an indirect attack on China and by proxy Russia, Iran is also the last domino to fall in reordering and mollifying the Middle East.

If all of this works, Trump goes on Mt. Rushmore.

12 Has anyone even heard anything about ground troops even being staged to move in to Iran? I really don't beleive there are any plans for boots on the ground there.

Of course, just hoping that the regime fails and the Shah returns in glory or the people rise up and form a new government on their own is one of those pixie dust and unicorn farts level of wishing for the best. I have to believe Trump and Marco have some sort of plan for the aftermath, but I have seen no indications that they do. Of course, it is probably wise to keep thst thing close to the vest for now.

14 For this reason, it was not only built fast and at a low cost, it uses an innovative flight path that allowed it to be launched anytime and wait in orbit for the right moment to go to Mars. This last innovation provides for a lot more flexibility.
=============================
Is there any other way? The travel routes to Mars are only available for a few months in every twelve, so launching, and then holding in orbit is how everyone will send large cargoes, I would have thought.

1) don't care; irrelevant. "Just war" theory is a suicidal fraud-- that we must only go to war to defend. It's exploited by tyrants while hobbling the good to permanent inaction.
Iran killed Americans. That alone is justification. Future threat is irrelevant.
2) don't care; irrelevant. "Pottery Barn" war and peace is an even uglier and more destructive theory than just war.
We "owe" Iran and it's people-- even the freedom loving--nothing. Jack, diddly and shit.

37 The speculation i mentioned yesterday that we deliberately cut the UK out is being confirmed.
US intelligence is (was) shared with MI6, who shares it with Lloyd's, who then had a massive risk analysis advantage over all insurers, not just making them the dominant insurer but also setting large loss policy rates worldwide.
And giving the UK hundreds of billions in revenue. And control.
If the UK had foreknowlege, they can cancel or threaten to cancel shipping policies to force businesses to demand no action but appeasement in Iran.
Too late they are now canceling policies trying to force Trump back to a limited war that returns the status quo, blaming the war for the canceling.
Iran's ships are sunk.

41 I think Trump saw the threat poised by China more clearly during *biden's reign and was chomping at the bit to counter them. China's influence is 2nd only to ours, but it was growing. Through their "belt and road" initiatives they were aligning much of the global economy with themselves... but more importantly, against us.

This, with the election fraud being perpetrated with vote and ballot tabulating systems controlled by the likes of Maduro and the Ayatollahs is certainly cause for great concern. Assuming one was "America First."

Anywhere in the world that China has influence is going to be a target of sanctions, political pressure, courting or military action if they don't cease dealing with Xi in degrading the US.

YMMV

Trump has been a public figure virtually his entire life. For those of us who grew up around NYC he was a constant presence in the media and always willing to give his opinion on any issue. Shocking, I know.

He's been railing against China since he was in his 20s because of their predatory business tactics which Trump dealt with first hand putting up buildings and buying steel and other building products. He was also very clear about his feelings that the terrorist regime in Iran should be taken out. He's been remarkably consistent on both issues and there are videos and news articles about both.

The west has been under attack and losing ground against an alliance led by China that was supported and fueled by rogue regimes like Venezuela and Iran. Trump is reinvigorating the western alliance and putting America first. Amazing to watch.

I have to say that "ending wars, not starting them" was about #100 on my list of priorities in voting for Trump. I mean, was Harris out there frothing at the mouth about getting into wars and Walsh needed to counter that with his vote? Comparatively speaking, it was just not that important going into the 2026 elections. But that's just my humble opinion.

106 One thing Trump has done to open people's eyes is to pull the curtain back on "politics." It's really not all that nuanced as our political betters would lead us to believe. That only certain people, with special skills, can do "politics."

Seeing how basic and primitive it really is must shock the shit out our chattering class.

When the US implores you to stop what you're doing and you flip us off, shit happens. It's that simple.

But when you have "politicians" at the helm, and they need to dance the dance, string things out needlessly, people uninformed think politics is really, really complicated and hard. And we absolutely must elect only certain, qualified people to do it.

Only now are some realizing the political class is lining their pockets right under the public's nose.

Most people seem to miss the point here. Back when I was playing board wargames, one of the first things you had to do was understand the victory conditions. How is "winning" defined?

That is something Trump understands, apparently by nature, and the DC establishment - including the MAGA establishment - seems not to grasp. What do we want to achieve? Have a clear grasp of that, and when it's achieved, you've succeeded. Also, a clear grasp of what you see as victory may well show you it's impossible, as Bush's Iraq goals were.

Not to mention that 1983 America did not have a fraction of the military capabilities we have now - it was still very much a Vietnam military, with B-52’s and massive ground invasions out only real options.

It’s taken 40 years of hard work and technological development to get to where we are now. Our military is not just twice as lethal as the army of Reagan’s day; I’d say that today’s military is easily 10 times more lethal than that of 1983, if not much more than that.

We can truly say that America’s military today is the most powerful and most unmatched military force that has ever existed in the history of the world. That is no exaggeration, it is the truth.

Yup. And before him, our biggest anti-Communist POTUS was a Hollywood actor.

Think so much of Trump's experience/skill came from building things. There is nothing theoretical about a Trump tower, it is made from quality materials, by competent men, via negotiations with a variety of different groups (unions, mob, bureaucrats/politicians, community, etc.) and must stand strong for many years.
Compare that experience to Obama, who's only ever talked and talked and talked. It's all ideas and vibes, and of course, loads of taxpayer (i.e. unearned) cash. Did he ever have skin in the game -- do any of the lifetime politicians???

A) have no understanding of geopolitics
B) have no understanding of military tactics or operations, and most of all
C) have completely forgotten that one never comes out against any war, especially one your own country is involved in, UNTIL you know whether it will be successful or not, defined in common term.

People don’t “hate” all war, people hate losing wars, including those that waste large amounts of lives and treasure for no clear goals achieved.

But people love a win, especially one done with ease. And they remember those who were opposed as traitors and cowards for the rest of their existence.

Why Middleton over Reitz? Trump said he was going to primary Chip Roy, and oddly enough Roy claims that going against Trump on a few major issues proves his devotion to Texas ideals.

WTF? AOC is against Trump on major issues, but that isn't a recommendation for her being an AG, unless Roy feels that Texans are ill served by major Trump policies.

So he is out. Reitz is Paxton's recommend, and Reitz knows how to be a war time consigliere which we needed during the Biden Reign of Terror.

Middleton seems to be a crusader for Evangelical interests which can often be cringy, how will she get along with the bureaucratic Lifers in the Texas DOJ who are inclined towards Austin Ethics?

Yes. However, with US and IDF air supremacy, one getting ready to launch invited a bomb on the launcher. There are videos of just such an attack. Plus drones are easy to hide until launched.

The IDF, and presumably the US, are playing "SCUD hunt" and trying to kill the launchers and destroy the bunkers.

Yes, they are mobile platforms. There’s video of the Israelis catching these, they look like work over oil rigs with a large missile in the back of the truck rather than a derrick, and the targeting is preprogrammed.

Iran has dispersed these to dozens of sites around the country, many in hard to detect tunnels cut into mountainsides. This was known, and why those who were aware of Iran’s capabilities knew it would take a couple of weeks and hundreds, if not thousands of sorties to track these all down and destroy them.
And the drone launchers are even simpler and easier to launch.

It was always going to take weeks of strikes to truly destroy a regime, any who thought this could be one and done believed in a marvel comics version of the world. The IRGC, which claims 190,000 members, is going to have to be annihilated before Iran surrenders, and that will take a lot of work.

How can ANY republican can survive re-election this season? For those who feel we should have bombed Iran, the region, all nations is now destabilized. Iran is not without weapons, since trump checked us out of the inspections.

We were safer exactly 5 days ago than we are today. This might be the one thing to break the rest of the non MAGA base. Service members dying for a war that no one wanted may be the bridge too far.

321 Another fun bit of info about Russia’s position on this war, and why they refused to help Tehran when the Mullahs begged for assistance: it’s believed that over the last few months, the Iranian leadership had transferred over a half trillion dollar equivalent assets to Moscow for protection from sanctions, etc. If the regime fails, Moscow simply denies that any of it exists, and keeps all of it for themselves.

Which might explain the faint smile playing around Putin’s lips when he condemns the current American Aggression.

One, they have an inflow of hundreds of billion dollars in gold and crypto from escaping, and in some cases no longer living mullahs. No refunds! Two, now China will be forced to buy Russian oil. You don't expect China to buy Saudi oil, do you? And while Russia and Iran were sort of buddies, Russia knew mullahs were still jihadi savages feeding jihad along its eastern border. So that is why Russia's voice is so minimal, they left it with low level (UN rep and foreign minister) expressions of disappointment in the whole thing. Shame, shame!

That's quite a stretch:

I remember one of the British news orgs put together their prediction of how the war would go.

And I remember when it got to the US/Europe invading Russia proper they argued the Russian people would see the jig was up and just surrender. I thought to myself, I know the left doesn't read history but they seem to know Russian stereotypes about drinking and such...surely they know the stereotype here about "The Motherland" don't they?

--------------
I read that the Iranians spoofed the GPS in that region, basically jammed the RQ-170 and fed it bogus coordinates to land at. That there's no comparable drone in Iran's inventory leads one to believe they were unable to reverse engineer it.

And subsequent RQ-170's are networked and do not have to rely only on GPS for navigation.

But, it was a significant, technological loss that probably has been leveraged by China and, to a lesser degree, Russia.

"Socialist Spain Drives Out U.S. Military Aircraft." Of course. Spain acted alongside Ireland and Norway to officially recognize Palestine, with the move taking effect on May 28, 2024. (A-holes with a widespread negative effect for several hundred years but somehow duck under the radar.)

The tournament, the very 1st to be hosted by three nations, takes place from June 11 to July 19, 2026, with games taking place in sixteen cities—eleven in the United States, three in Mexico, and two in Canada.

410 AI Overview: The 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected to bring between 1 million and 10 million international visitors to the United States, with official estimates often landing around 5-7 million visitors. This massive influx of fans, combined with domestic travelers, will make it the largest sporting event in history. (Ref: U.S. State Department & 5 others)

Our nation's security must be impeccable, ergo the progressives in Congress blocking the budget for DHS need to STOP their games NOW!

Not our problem. Not ours to "install." We're clearing the pathway; let the Iranians build what they will -- so long as it doesn't piss us off. That's why (and how) this does not become Iraq 2.0.

Daily Tech News 3 March 2026

Top Story

Motorola and GrapheneOS have announced a partnership to produce Motorola phones running GrapheneOS. (Liliputing)

Though I'm not sure what else they would announce.

GrapheneOS is a version of Android without Google's proprietary software. It currently only runs on, uh, Google's proprietary hardware, which I'm not sure is entirely helpful.

Having it run on something else as well might be a useful option if you want to steer away from the Apple / Google duopoly for security and privacy reasons but aren't still looking for something officially supported.

Tech News

Microsoft did not ban the word "microslop" from its official Copilot Discord forum and then shut the whole thing down when people kept using the offending term, or, well, they did but they say it was due to spam. (Windows Latest)

Sure, Microsoft. I believe you.
Anthropic got declaude. (Bleeping Computer)

I was doing server stuff today and didn't notice. I do use Claude Code to get boilerplate stuff done quickly, like generating test cases, but I didn't miss it.
The US government is moving to ban memory chips from Chinese companies YTMC, CXMT, and SMIC... From government devices. (WCCFTech)

Which doesn't really change anything for the rest of us.
The Minisforum N1 AI is a combination NAS and desktop PC and is not made by Minisforum. (Notebook Check)

Typo by Notebook Check - the device is made by Morefine.

It has an eight-core Ryzen CPU, four 3.5" bays, three M.2 slots, dual 10Gb Ethernet ports, and an 800W power supply and room for a desktop graphics card.

I wish I knew how to stop this behavior!

Kids who pass off foundational cognitive tasks like memorization to AI will be lost in an ocean of people just like them, all powerless to think their own thoughts, dependent on bad mechanical imitations of mental acts they have no capacity to perform or judge for themselves.

They’ll grow up into glazed-over subaltern dupes at the mercy of machinists who view them as little more than farm animals to milk for training data.

You could hardly do a worse disservice to a young person right now than to empty out the contents of their soul and strip them of the mental armor that only a rigorous literary education can provide.

And all in the name of some gullible claptrap about humanity and tech that wouldn’t stand up to five minutes’ scrutiny if the people peddling it and swilling it down had ever read a single thing worth reading.

If you shuffle a deck of cards properly, the exact order you get has almost certainly never existed before in human history and never will again.

The number of possible arrangements of 52 cards is 52 factorial, which works out to a number so large that it has 68 digits. To put it in perspective: even if every person who ever lived shuffled a deck once per second since the beginning of the universe, you would still barely scratch the surface of all possible arrangements.

So every time you shuffle a deck, you are most likely holding a sequence that is completely unique in the history of the universe.

54 @44/Skip: None of the news stories on this issue contain much more than some bare details, not enough to figure out how things escalated from a car crash to two homicides, even more injuries, and a dead dog.

This one's going to need a homicide investigation. News inside of Fairfax County, Virginia might carry a follow-up story, but I suspect the rest of the world will likely never hear more about what happened unless one or more involved is a sufficiently important person, or it ends up being an embarrassment for the State Department.

92 @NR Pax: That's pretty much it for a lot of managers out there (who aren't good ones). Their metric is "butts in seats" and whether you have the appearance of working. Form over function.

The proper metric measures amount of work output (versus expected) and the quality of same, but that requires effort and work on the part of the manager.

Technically speaking, you’re way, way more correct than many might realize.

The US spook agencies actually picked up where they left off after the war. One of the avenues of “research” done at the concentration camps revolved around what they called “trauma based conditioning”. Child rape was found to be the most effective. That’s what’s going on here.

The Quotes of The Day

Quote I
"This is about national security; this is about what's possible in the Middle East; this is about being a good partner to the Gulf States...I am a Democrat. I've been a huge Democrat, and I am incredibly disappointed with my party; I do not see myself in them in this moment,” Moj Madhara, co-founder of the Iranian Diaspora Collective and a Democrat

Quote II
"When a family is boating to a restaurant or simply enjoying the waters in our area, they should not have to worry about being stopped, boarded, and delayed for no real reason beyond a random inspection," State Sen. Chris Elliott (R-Josephine, AL)

Quote III
"When you tax something at a high rate, customers are less likely to purchase that product and are more likely to identify alternatives," Tiffany Ingram, the executive director of the Cannabis Business Association of Illinois

Quote IV
The party's only agenda is 'we hate Trump,' and anything he says, we're going to do the opposite of it. And it makes me very sad for the party." Robert F. Kennedy,Jr.

*****

No Middle East/Iran/Israel news here on The ONT tonight. My .02? Iran has FA for 47 years. I don't have the supporting documentation, but I would suspect at least 90% of all worldwide terrorism involving the Religion of Pieces^TM has been funded directly by Iran.

After kicking the Iran can down the road, this was bound to happen sooner ~~or later~~. The fact that President Trump has engaged with all of the major Islamic countries at the start of his second term was mocked by the "elites". But his engagement with them has led them to keep their noses out of the affair (Monday 3/2/26 8:16AM)

Unlike the Bush's, Trump's philosophy appears to be go in, do what has to be done and get our troops home. We don't need to be building any nations whose populations have no concept or don't care to grasp the concept of Western Civilization. If they want to live like 7th century BC shithole warriors, let them.

Hopefully the Persians can go back to be a western leaning population rather than the cheerleaders for the destruction of the Great Satan.

*****

Those of us who are Constitutionalists believe in the American justice system. However, those who believe the Constitution is no more than a roll of paper towel have developed the art of lawfare. Well what is good for the goose is good for the gander. I hope that Cities Church sues these criminals into bankruptcy.

A total of 39 people now face charges in the anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, last month, according to a superseding indictment that the federal district court unsealed Friday.
“YOU CANNOT ATTACK A HOUSE OF WORSHIP,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X after the court unsealed the indictment. “If you do so, you cannot hide from us—we will find you, arrest you, and prosecute you.”
Bondi announced that federal agents had already arrested 25 of the 30 new defendants included in the new indictment.

*****

Had Matthew been Moe of the Religion of Pieces he would not have been arrested, charged and convicted. Instead the victims would be sent to re-education camps via Low-T patient Keir Starmer's edict.

A sexual predator who repeatedly flashed lone women travelling on the Tube has been jailed for eight months.
Matheus Prestes, 30, targeted his victims on the Bakerloo line in a spree lasting four months from June to October last year.
He admitted eight counts of exposure at Inner London Crown Court earlier this month.
The British Transport Police (BTP) praised the bravery of the women in coming forward to report the pervert.

*****

Different strokes for different folks.

From fantasy photoshoots in the Maldives, to kelp forest "strolls" along California's Catalina Island and Taiwan's luxe hotel swims, swimming in a tail is different wherever you do it.
I am struggling to maintain my dignity – and my buoyancy – in Nagoya, Japan. My legs are encased in a violet-hued mermaid tail, and what I thought would be a graceful glide feels more like a splash.

If he learns his lesson he will never be a Genius Award Winner again.

GOLDSBORO, N.C. -- A rancher in North Carolina had a nightmare experience in a car wash recently, when wire fencing sitting in the bed of his pickup truck got entangled in the rotating brushes.
Kyle Corbett shared video of the aftermath on TikTok, writing, "Lesson today is don't go in the car wash with high tensile wire in the bed of your truck."

Earlier tonight we spoke about lawfare. Greenpeace found out the hard way. Tonight's Feel Good Story of The Day.

In a financial filing made late last year, Greenpeace USA said it does not have the money to pay the $404m ordered by the jury [reduced by the judge to $345M] “or to continue normal operations if the judgment is enforced”. The group said it had cash and cash equivalents of $1.4m and total assets of $23m as of 31 December 2024.

Maybe little Greta The Retard^TM can help out.

70 Okay, this really is a must-watch.

The Triggernometry men just had a sit-down with former MI6 spy Aimen Dean and NYT bestselling national security journalist Richard Miniter, for a deep dive into the geostrategic and ideological ramifications of the Iran war -- and the ramifications of NOT doing it.

The Best Iran War Breakdown on the Internet:

https://tinyurl.com/uj2j97df

They go into, among other things, the global ramifications WRT China and Russia; the nature of the IRGC's form of Islam (scarier than you might think); what the Gulf region Muslim states really think about Iran; the conflict between the CIA's wishes (they have actually given Israel a no-kill list for the regime heads, allegedly) and those of Israel, and more.

Bottom line, this is a big gamble, but not excising the Twelver cancer is a far bigger gamble. The whole conversation is fascinating, particularly Aiman's comments, as he's a native with a very different POV.

One item raised on Twitter earlier today: many of the tankers stopped in the Strait of Hormuz have had their insurance cancelled. Not even jacked-up rates, just cancelled.

The account in question argued this could be a huge deal. Most global insurance is still run out of London, one way or another, and Lloyd's probably gets a lot of its info from MI6, which in turn gets it from us.

If the Trump admin has been pissed off enough by Starmer to stop sharing info, that could have huge ramifications for the insurance business worldwide.

You might recall the EPA putting a hold on $10 Billion designated to various environMENTAL destinations by the EPA. It ended up sitting in Citibank (not sure if it was ever resolved).

The usual process is that the zealots at the EPA designate massive payouts to entities like Greenpeace and a portion of that money finances lawsuits to institute more regulations on industry, or challenge those being removed. Then the lawyers for the EPA roll over on the case. The enviro's get to keep a portion of those grants as pure "income/donations". USAID wasn't needed.

Well, let's see, lawyers write the law, ergo lawyers will get paid. AI says A secured creditor gets paid first in bankruptcy because their claims are backed by collateral. A lawsuit winner with a judgment against the bankrupt party typically falls into the category of general unsecured claims, which are paid last.

So, if the lawyer sets up a collateralized payment set up, I, with the authorutay of a Boasberg, do hereby decree the Lawyer get paid first.

117 Question for the male Morons, (even though this is a high testosterone crowd):

Has anyone done any supplemental testosterone and had it make a big difference in their daily life?

I have a central tremor, and having my hands shake pretty badly some days is really pissing me off. At the same time, my shaky muscles also feel very weak. For example, I have trouble opening jars that should open relatively easily.

I wonder if my lack of strength and tremors may at least be ameliorated with a little higher T level.

(I hate to say this in a Moron thread, but problems of a sexual nature seem to be one of the main symptoms/complaints for low T. So purely for medical purposes, I will add that Mr. Peeps still works just fine.)

Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at March 02, 2026 10:32 PM (ZVgZ4)

There are other sleep studies that look into things like REM duration and repetition, and other brainwave stuff, but most sleep studies just check to see if you are breathing while sleeping, and how often you wake up because you are suffocating.

The take-home variety is usually of the second type.

Why any insurance would deny a sleep study is a mystery to me, since the solution is pretty cheap, compared to not treating sleep apnea. But insurance companies defy all logic anyway.

129 There is an alternative if you can not fall asleep with a CPAP mask, which is my problem. It brings back firefighting memories and wearing OBAs (oxygen breathing Apparatus). I was in a fire in the Service and was burned on 16% of my body.

There is a specific mouthpiece fitted to you. My dentist is the one driving this possible solution, but he needs a new study.

______________________

One of the clauses in a policy of that nature would provide for a Cancellation based on a significant increase to the risk. So, that tracks. HOWEVER, usually in such a matter, they still have to give a 30 to 60 day notification. Depends on the wording of the policy and whether the word "immediacy" is sitting there in that clause.

166 There has been a shortage of Neurologists because many have left that field to go into sleep study, which I guess is more lucrative.
If you think about it, in many of the neurological diseases, ALS, MS, Parkinson's, etc., there really hasn't been great progress in treating such diseases. A few drugs that slow the process maybe a little, but no cures or great breakthroughs. Kind of sad. If all you can do is throw some Lyrica or Neurontin at a problem, it's rather depressing.

179 I did a sleep study many years ago, when you slept at the clinic in the fake hotel room, and they recorded you sleeping. I was not prescribed CPAP at that time. Many years later, I fell asleep on a massage table and was told by my massage therapist that I not only snored but also stopped breathing for a bit. That led to a second sleep study, this time with the take-home monitor. This second time I was prescribed the CPAP, which has helped me enormously. If you need the CPAP, get it and use it: it made a big difference for me.

205 117 Question for the male Morons, (even though this is a high testosterone crowd):

Has anyone done any supplemental testosterone and had it make a big difference in their daily life?

I have a central tremor, and having my hands shake pretty badly some days is really pissing me off. At the same time, my shaky muscles also feel very weak. For example, I have trouble opening jars that should open relatively easily.

I wonder if my lack of strength and tremors may at least be ameliorated with a little higher T level.

(I hate to say this in a Moron thread, but problems of a sexual nature seem to be one of the main symptoms/complaints for low T. So purely for medical purposes, I will add that Mr. Peeps still works just fine.)

Any good stories/advice or bad stories regarding this topic?
Posted by: Pillage Idiot at March 02, 2026 10:34 PM (HlyYF)

I went on testosterone gel for a few months. It does work, gives more energy and passion.

Losing 50 pounds also helped with my erections.

Not, with my marriage, it means a damn thing.

But supplemental testosterone is absolutely worth trying.

209 @179...I don't think I could make it through a sleep study as I'd be wide awake not trusting anyone.

I had surgery twenty years ago and had a good excuse not to sleep over the one night. A nurse that took care of me, and I knew her when I was an instructor and she was a student nurse, told me, "You'd think you had your tonsils out (vs the surgery)." My uvula had apparently gotten stuck on the ET tube and I whined about it the most. Muh throat! An anesthesia person came and looked and said I did not need a steroid. Ok. I looked and think I could have tied a knot with it as it was stretched and dragging down my throat.

My son and I compared throats in the mirror of the loo and he said his airway was worse than mine due to his tonsils.

This was after I refused a sleeping pill because "my airway might close."

My surgeon cracked up hearing this the next day and said if I had a daughter vs a son she would have been called to come in and deal with me.I guess meaning this son could talk sense into me.

I consented to a half of a sleeping pill and as I was sort of dosing off I heard him in the bathroom calling his Dad that the lunatic was finally under control. I am a great patient!

Any way it closed down which suited me because there was a great sandwich place nearby that always had terrible parking because of all the gooner overflow.

I’d say, my rule is if you’re gonna invest money in it, a good sandwich always beats sex. And if you get the right woman you get a lifetime supply of sandwiches and sex for the low cost of all your money. Well,… it looks good on paper,… Think of the P/E ratio!

In my case, they monitored brain waves - to see how deeply you slept, and blood oxygen levels.

The technician woke me up part way through the night because my oxygen level had dropped to 80%, or around the point where you start turning blue. She put on a CPAP mask, and configured it well. The rest of the night was the most refreshing I'd had in decades.

Ah, but that was said over and over and again about Trump... It didn't matter, because an electoral majority in one election and a flat-out popular majority in another said "fuck all that."

Carlson, on the other hand, is just a loathsome charlatan, with an ever-shrinking handful of credulous dullards in tow.

Softails are a beautiful bike. I have 3 of them. 2 softail customs and a springer softail. They aren't what I call a touring bike, but you can do decent long rides on them no problem. Some guys will put on a windshield and leather saddle bags on them, and with the right seat they'll ride across the country. They are easy to ride. When you're ready we can get you into the right one. They can be had fairly cheap with low miles. I passed up one this year that had a bunch of nice stuff done to it. It was $3500, and it was done. If I didn't have 3 of them I would have grabbed it.

428 On March 2nd, Jon Bon Jovi turned 64, Chris Martin (the face of Coldplay) turned 49, and Gabe Nelson turned 59. If you don't recognize the last name, neither did I! But I like his work, as the bassist for CAKE on their 3rd through 6th albums (Prolonging The Magic, Comfort Eagle, Pressure Chief, and Showroom Of Compassion).

For whatever reason, CAKE's "showcase sessions" type of performances, like at radio stations and guitar stores, tend to be... not great. They're off-putting. Singer/songwriter John McCrea is showboating and his voice is all over the place. But this live show, which I have cued to "Never There," is fairly straight-forward by their standards. It's hard to see the body of Gabe Nelson's bass for most of it, but a close-up at one point plainly shows the characteristic "split coil" of a Fender Precision Bass, same as the Gin Blossoms guy I linked last night.

Not a bit. I don't think he's the ill we need to cure. He's just a charlatan. Has been since the bow tie days at CNN.

If anything, I think the Jonah Goldbergs and the David Frenches of the world are a much bigger problem than the Carlsons and Owenses, if for no reason than the thin veneer of "respectability."

Funny thing is, while I hurl vituperation at all of them, I only get called out for """"censorship"""" about precious little Carlson - and only in the last six months or so, though I've been calling him a charlatan for many years before.

He scratches your itch, and you love him for that, but he's still a charlatan. Your problem - not mine.

Sounds like an Electra Glide, basically a full dresser. Some of the dudes I ride with pack their saddle bags with ice and beer. Annoying bastards, because the bags have drain holes, so they're constantly dripping water. My 4th bike is an electraglide ultra classic with the tour pack and the saddle bags. When we do our yearly 3-4 day trip they constantly want to turn the bags on my bike into a cooler. Its like wtf, how much more beer do you need while were out. You're stopping at every frigging bar you see anyway. Every year we leave at least 1 1/2 cases behind in whatever cabin we rent.

The reason I've been ridiculing him for so long is that he's always been this way.

Back when he was a Fox CHUD for Trump, I told people not to listen too closely to him, because of when he was a Fox CHUD for Bush, and a CNN CHUD before. When he struck out on his own, he said normal things for about ten minutes - while he was spinning up his next group of credulous retards. Then it was, of course, off to the marketshare races for him, like always.

It's not drugs. Unless Pfizer has injected him with Charlatrex™.*

Don't take Charlatrex if you're allergic to Charlatrex. Contact a physician if you attract retards for more than 4 hours.

Alcohol is a drug, and at 56, Tucker Carlson is old enough for a steady dose of that toxin to have physically degraded his brain, even without him ever getting sloppy in public. "Functioning" alcoholics are not exactly a myth, per se -- no doubt you, the reader, understand your limits -- but you absolutely cannot count on someone else remaining functional.

But would you expect a sudden mental c(sea?) change with alcohol or a slow bank?
Posted by: Aetius451AD at March 03, 2026 01:17 AM (bss/y)

Anything can happen. It's well within the realm of possibility that, like going bankrupt or losing a war of attrition, there could be a resource getting drawn down so that it presents as "at first slowly, then all at once."

It's actually fascinating how alcohol can present such wildly different effects, because the prefrontal cortex is included in the things it depresses, and the PFC is the executive that regulates overactive parts of the brain. So the alcohol is depressing a node -- say for sadness, or "dark thoughts" (a real brain center), or whatever -- while its suppression of the PFC is also disregulating it, so it goes wild. And it just depends on the person and maybe even mood and time of day which brain centers get to go wild from the reduction in regulation. And that's just any drinker at any time, without even looking at cumulative toxin damage over time.

He probably had a lot of people reining in his worst impulses. Friends, editors, production staff, etc. Then he got very successful, quadrupled his ego, and distanced himself from anyone that would push back.

Being fired meant he could now indulge all of his repressed retard tendencies. Not to mention those just happened to most align with exactly what arab oil princes desire in a mouthpiece, so he could still support himself in the style he was accustomed to.

Sometimes she's just annoying, and sometimes she's the only thing pulling them back from the ledge of loving Big Gov't and the Imperial Executive just because it's currently "our guy" behind the desk. The best thing Trump is doing is shrinking gov't; this time they have to eliminate ten regulations for each one they put in place, up from (IIRC) three his first term, but as we saw with Biden almost everything can be undone practically overnight.

We need Congress to eliminate the departments and defund the programs and claw back the rule-making power in general, but the others can lose sight of it with a personality they like making moves that they like. So even a lolbertarian can serve a purpose.

The Nuge played a gibson byrdland. Believe it or not its not quite as big as you think. It has a very short scale. Where a strat is 25 1/2" scale, a gibson is 24 3/4". The Byrdland was a 23 1/2" scale, which is comically easy to play. A friend of mine had one, a 1959 in cherry with the Florentine cutaway. Les pauls are actually small guitars, only 13" across, so not hard to make them look small. Most of the F hole guitars you are seeing are probably the ES335, or ES355. Those are 16" across. Not huge, but not small.

573 It is interesting that the fashion whores have yet to acknowledge that Melania Trump is one beautiful woman and a former fashion model. I am not a fashionable person myself, I wear what is comfortable for me. Jeepers though, Michelle Obama being feted as the epitome of feminine pulchritude just steered me away from even caring about fashion of any kind. That being said, whenever I get an invitation to any type of affaire I really like to find a nice dress and try to look nice.

Israel Tricked Me Into Posting a Cat Cafe

The Shambles in York
by David/@disc_light

This cat is giving me feelings I shouldn't feel.

Speaking of cats and feelings: This cat is jelly.

Kitten is rescued, but is then slapped around by his mom for giving him a heart attack.

Made you look.

Did you ever see the dog version of Trainspotting? It's better than the human version.

Not a cat.

Bear cubs are afraid of the water.

Cute dog.

Dog enjoys diving for rocks.

Senior dachshund does her best on the agility track. I rate this dog 14/10.

Dog likes being told "I love you" and is teaching itself to say it back.

23 I have been to the Shambles in York. Also the cathedral. Where I explained my maiden name to a docent lady who worked there. She had already discussed that the stained glass windows were removed and hidden from Nazi bombings. She was impressed as a village nearby was similar to my father's name in the Domesday Book. I am that famous.

I introduce her to my husband, who typically woos the ladies. She seemed rather taken aback by his Polish surname. Weird. After that she was no longe r my new friend.

I saw ONE burka that trip to the UK, in York. I was getting postcards from a pharmacy and she walked in. I tried to meet her gaze and melt her with my green lasers but she sadly would not meet my eyes.

30 The only way we could get our Golden to duck his nose into water was an ice cube in his bowl on the porch. He'd blow bubbles for that ice cube.

The pool, oh, heck no.

I have a video somewhere of our son trying and failing to teach his Golden pup to swim in our pool. So he'd not be a sissy like our Shelby.

Bailey did not like water, either. He barks through his swimming lesson.

There are but the terms differ between the services so using hierarchy references is easier to standardize.

For example, in the Navy:

E-6 == first class petty officer
E-7 == chief petty officer

I went on Smash's liquid diet with her the week prior to her surgery, then migrated to liquid protien (chicken & beef broth with protein poweder) the first week after surgery for moral support. Now I'm eating ~80 grams of protein per day, with as little fat, carbs, and sugars as possible. 30 minutes before meal time, I drink 16 ounces of water, then I eat slowly with nothing to drink. 30 minutes after the meal, i drink another 16 ounces of water. I don't feel at all hungry, even with a total calorie average around 1600 per day.

Sounds like you're getting your news from retards.

They were friendly fire incidents from allied air defense who attacked our aircraft because they couldn't properly ID friend or foe because the radar was presumably saturated with drone attacks and they were probably a bit incompetent. IE the exact thing that happened with the Gettysburg (which tried to shoot down 3 US aircraft and nearly accidentally killed their own helicopter as well).

46 There are folks like Tucker C and Candy O who offer nothing worthwhile IMO.

Then there's folks like Mark Dice and Ann Barnhardt, who often have very good things to say, but do have their blind spots that make half their stuff cringeworthy to repulsive. Haven't given up on them because of the gems amongst the excrement.

And then there's Mark Evanier, whose long career in movies, TV, and comics writing has given him a wealth of great stories and insights into those and related industries and characters, but who also is deeply infested with leftyism and TDS. newsfromme.com Evanier has enough good stuff, and his political rants are usually clearly enough marked that I can skip them, that I go to his site every day.

Without Evanier, I might never have seen this (for fans of classic WB cartoons):

The other branches have some silly names for those ranks but who really cares?

Read the USS Gettysburg report. They saw 3 signatures heading to the carrier, thought no friendlies were still flying and shot at them thinking they were drones attacking the carrier. They didn't even bother to make sure their own helicopter wasn't in front of their own missiles they were in such a panic.

The military bases in Kuwait were under drone attacks and people already died so air defense is going to be on edge. Three F-15E's trying to land probably looks a lot like the drone profile.

If our own Navy is making that same mistake, not hard to believe a Kuwaiti SAM or super hornet can make the exact same error.

222 When the dust settles the real story is going to be that Trump has permanently, or as long as permanent last these days, altered the world power structure. Taking down Maduro and the mullahs is huge in the narrow, direct view of what each meant to US security but they were vital cogs in the China/Russia power structure. And now they aren't.

They have both been severely damaged without any obvious replacements. And no amount of whining by Democrats is going to change it. Strategery.

BREAKING: It's been revealed that nearly all of the Tehran's traffic cameras had been hacked by Israel for years, with algorithms tracking senior officials -- including the supreme leader.
One Israeli official said: "We knew Tehran like we know Jerusalem."

Open Source Intel
@Osint613
U.S. President Donald Trump told ABC News that they identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but was killed in the initial airstrikes.
"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates. It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

Robert Spencer collects some of the left's prayers for terrorist attacks against America:

Meanwhile, a Jan. 2026 hot take from far-left "journalist" Stephen Beschloss on X was getting wide circulation on Threads after the death of Khamenei: "No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter," Beschloss wrote sagely, "I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth."
He didn't mean Khamenei, the mass murderer of tens of thousands of his own people. He meant Trump. Nevertheless, in the race for the most over-the-top expression of Trump-hatred, Beschloss finishes a close second to John Pavlovitz, who bills himself on Threads as an "author, pastor, activist, and storyteller," and on X, where he has nearly 392,000 followers, as "author of 'If God is Love, Don't Be a Jerk.'" Pavlovitz, who is so far to the left that he makes Chairman Mao look reactionary, had this to say after the killing of Khamenei: "Dear World, Please do whatever you need to. Sincerely, Decent Americans."

Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
Funny how whenever reporting on a Muslim carrying out a terrorist attack, the MSM reflexively writes it off to "mental illness," but whenever reporting on transgender terrorism, they never mention anything about the trans shooter having mental health problems. In those cases of violence, the suspects are portrayed as relatively normal, while jihadists are clearly just plain nuts, confused individuals completely divorced from Islamic doctrine.

Gavin Newsom is a gaytard:

Gavin's gaslighting.
Gov. Gavin Newsom has been put in his place by the US gas industry after he tried to "flex" on President Donald Trump over gas prices -- as he presides over the country's highest per-gallon prices.

The California governor took to social media on Saturday following the dramatic US-Israel airstrikes on Iran, which took out both Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
"Average gas prices in California have stayed below $5 for nearly two years. Trump's new war is already rattling markets. We're watching this space. Closely," Newsom's press office wrote on X, sparking derision from many.
"Time to school the Pajama Boy who runs this account for the Gov -- because this isn't the flex on Trump he thinks it is," the US Oil & Gas Association, a nonprofit trade association for the domestic oil and natural gas industry, wrote in response before taking the Democrat to task over what it branded Newsom's mismanagement of California's natural resources.

"California imports 63% of its crude from foreign countries -- despite sitting on at least 1.7 billion barrels of proven reserves," the post continued, before breaking down where the Golden State's refineries get their crude oil.

So, if you're a "right-wing" podcaster and you just happened to discover you're a Big-Time Christian (or Trad Cath) in the past two years, just as the podcast grifting money was getting too good to pass up, then I'm going to say you're not a Christian.

If, like Tucker Carlson, you went through 55 years of life without hearing the call of the Church, and then suddenly, when you were unemployed and launching a venture that depended absolutely on the patronage and support of American Christians, you finally cracked open a Bible (you say) and became a diehard follower of Christ, well, I just do not believe you.

I think you lie like Satan.

You're a deceiver, you give false testimony, and your only god is Mammon.

I'm so tired of the Sudden Christianity Syndrome Monetizers.

There are definitely converts, of course. But I'd like to see at least twelve months between your "conversion" and the debut of your new podcast. Is that too much to ask?

Megyn Kelly has always been a secular feminist shitlib, but she's now routinely identifying as a Believing Catholic lately, too.

Weird we didn't hear about this when she was on Fox's corporate payroll. We only hear about it now that she relies directly on the patronage of Christian viewers.

Megyn Kelly�s transformation into heel is fully complete.

Imagine thinking Trump doesn�t make the decisions.
And that somehow he, JD, Rubio, Hegseth etc., were tricked into this by podcasters and radio hosts.

Tucker continues his cowardly passive-aggressive attacks on Trump. He's never man enough to challenge Trump directly -- he always claims that Trump is being misled by people like Marco Rubio and, of course, Jews.

Tucker thinks he's being cute by not taking on the bull directly, but always claiming the bull is being led around by the nose.

Of course, in Tucker's view, Trump has no agency or authority of his own but is always being told what to think and do by Jewish or Jew-connected advisors.

I think that's kind of insulting. I wonder what Trump thinks.

So here's Tucker claiming that Akshually his great pals in Iran never tried to assassinate Trump twice -- it was all a pack of lies concocted by, you'll never guess, Jews!

Meanwhile, two teams of Iranians were indicted in federal courts for plotting to kill Trump.

Of course Tucker is lying, as usual.

Here is the announcement of the indictment of the assassins that the IRGC tried to hire: https://t.co/8OzxfazFLu

Back in 2024, the DOJ indicted two IRGC assassins in two separate plots to murder President Trump.
Israel doesn't appear anywhere in the charging docs.
Yet here's Tucker inventing out of thin air that Israel planned them in order to stir up tension between Iran and the U.S.

But Tucker's not done yet: He says that the Iranian missile strikes on his paymasters in Qatar were... arranged by Israel?!?!

Tucker is an absolute lunatic.

1) He blames the damage against the Gulf States on Israel, even when those themselves are blaming The Islamic Republic.

2) He claims that the Saudis & Qatar arrested Mossad agents that planned to bomb those countries. This is completely made up pic.twitter.com/eNrmNUu95H

The amazing thing is that it's believable. It could be true or untrue, but Israel's capabilities have been so amply demonstrated the past few years that it's believable on its face.

That must be a strategic benefit. Even if you lie - but not too much, and too outlandishly - you'll be believed. People just believe you can do that, even if you can't. From a psychological warfare standpoint, that must be extremely valuable.

14 "Time to school the Pajama Boy who runs this account for the Gov -- because this isn't the flex on Trump he thinks it is," the US Oil & Gas Association, a nonprofit trade association for the domestic oil and natural gas industry, wrote in response before taking the Democrat to task over what it branded Newsom's mismanagement of California's natural resources.

"California imports 63% of its crude from foreign countries -- despite sitting on at least 1.7 billion barrels of proven reserves," the post continued, before breaking down where the Golden State's refineries get their crude oil.

++++
Trump has been skeptical of large-scale and long-running interventions. He has not been shy about interventions as such.

ISIS.
Iran (the earlier one).
Venezuela.
Various military assassinations.

This is much bigger than anything he's done before, but so far his messaging is still fairly consistent: this isn't going to be a conquest followed by administration.

My worry is that this changed. I am sure virtually everyone with his ear is *begging* him - or threatening him - to turn this into a Forever War. I hope he can hold the line. Smash the mullahs and go home.

I think with Tucker, there may be another factor. I fully understand that what I am about to say is reflective of my own biases and prejudices.

Tucker is old money, mid-Atlantic blue blood. American aristocracy. Those people, as a rule and in general, dislike the Jews and always have. Tucker may just no longer be pretending.

I can't take the gaslighting, guys. I really can't. Conservatives are now running around saying "Iran has been waging war on us for 47 years." Okay then why didn't any of you call for an attack on Iran at any point until now? Why didn't you make a case for Trump "ending the war, not starting it" until precisely the moment when Trump did it? You and I both know that you are latching onto a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago. You and I both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to war with Iran until just now. And now you're trying to use justifications that stretch back decades. It doesn't make any sense. If you changed your mind, fine. Say so. Explain why. You're allowed to change your mind. I've changed my mind about things. But don't try to rewrite history. Be honest about it. There's too much at stake to play these games.

153 Our enemies could hack traffic cameras to target our top politicians and military folks. Thats the best argument I've ever heard against those infernal spy devices.

And probably it isn't that hard to hack them. Just like a smart fridge or robot vacuum many many are probably just left on the factory pre-set password, or given a very basic passcode so it won't be a PITA to pull the data from them and do basic IT administration functions.

There was an old Columbo TV show where the villain got his accomplice to speed through a camera'd intersection wearing a mask of the villians face to create a fake alibi. A modern take would be a criminal who hacks the cameras to erase his picture taken as he traveled to the victim.

That shit pisses me off, because these agnostic/atheist media/political cocksuckers think that Christians are stupid, and that they can pull the wool over believers' eyes by waving a Bible and misquoting one or two passages.

Two things here, Matty.

1. Lots of people have been doing exactly that, for my entire life.
2. I was not one of them. I was opposed to military intervention in Iran primarily because of the risks of "forever war" and risk to American blood and treasure on imperial games of nation-building. That said, we are intervening and now I fully support *winning* this intervention so our men and assets can return home after the successful mission - and I have some faith in Trump's force of will, personality and some of his better advisors to pull this off without a forever war or generalized imperial disaster.

The world ain't as black-and-white as you pretend, and you know it.

I never thought it would be so easy, or done right.

Before the iraq war I mostly told people that I had no idea what the USA should do, and it would be stupid of me to even have an opinion, not knowing the secret intel.

I said I trusted the government.

Then watching that unfold -- The turning point came when there was massive reporting on the strip of road where everyone was getting killed between the green zone and the airport. I pulled up google maps and it was like 5 miles. WTF? we can't defend 5 miles of road? I understood what a fool I was to trust the gov.

So I was not pushing for war in Iran. I am still apprehensive but there is another factor recently - This greatly undermines China and that changes the math.

258 A note on the Israeli hijacking of Tehran's traffic cameras -

Many (most) Municipalities in the US have a network of cameras on traffic lights. There's generally comms (all you need is a single strand of fiber for an analog camera) already on the pole along with power and a place to mount it. Burbank CA actually has most lights with a camera and they have an SOC that does real time traffic mitigation (I know, traffic mitigation in CA sounds like an oxymoron)

Now, I don't see the IRGC/Mullahs really concerned about traffic so much as allowing the local Morality Police to make sure no Hijab slips, etc. Coupled with the best choice of camera for Iran being Chinese garbage (I would put money on HikVision). So wall to wall coverage to keep an eye your "adoring" populace coupled with the most exploitable cameras...

The only catch is that the IRGC/Mullahs would connect these centralized viewing places up to the internet. Not something I would do, but higher ups may have required it for oversight.

I can believe that, between the technical aspects of Navy equipment and the time needed to be even marginally proficient at surviving the oceans, it'd probably take much longer to learn everything.

In the Army on the other hand, E-4 makes sense, because half the time your chain of command puts E-4s into E-6 slots when there aren't enough SSGs to fill them.

It would most likely be digital data since no one really does analog feeds anymore. That means it goes through a processor, and since it has to be switchable, then there is a chokepoint that can be tapped or intercepted.
I also doubt the cameras are shielded, so there may be enough leakage of signal to be detected externally as well.

But stopping Iran from getting Nukes was pretty much a permanent conservative position. What did Matt think that would look like? And stopping their constant support of terrorism eventually came down to stopping the crazed Ayatollahs.

Inappropriate jokes are common in these comments. Not all of them work (I took a week off because I got stupid a week ago).
For Tucker, who does not always comment in good faith, the jokes hit better. It is difficult for somebody on the one hand to argue from Facts And Logic and then the next day to admit to wrestling sharp-taloned succubi at night (or incubi, nttiawwt).

321 "...they're all dead" sounds like Trump didn't plan this. Rubio already admitted that Israel forced the US into battle when negotiations were under way. Trump may have just wanted to negotiate a 'deal' at gunpoint. I doubt he's in favor of assassination either, as a leader himself. Rubio says the US objective is to destroy Iran's missiles and other threats, which is not a war crime by any definition.

The Media Is Exactly Who We Thought They Were

With a few honorable exceptions.

An as-of-yet unnamed producer texted a reporter in the field to "not focus" on the Iranians celebrating the death of Khamenei. He (or, likely, she) wanted to play this as tragedy and portray the strike as a war crime.

The reporter refused and said he'd focus on the celebrations.

A CBS Austin reporter was seen on a live Facebook stream appearing to get a directive from a superior to steer away from a pro-Israel, pro-US and pro-Trump protest behind him -- and then refusing to go along with the instruction on camera.
Vinny Martorano was outside the Texas Capitol on Saturday covering dueling demonstrations in the wake of US and Israeli strikes on Iran when a crew member handed him a phone with a message from an unnamed boss.
After reading the screen, the reporter asked out loud, "What does that mean?"
An off-screen staffer answered, "It means they don't want us to focus on this."
"Well, I am," Martorano shot back, continuing his coverage.
Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns CBS Austin, insisted Martorano had not been instructed to avoid certain perspectives.
"[S]tation management directed the crew to follow our standard protest and rally safety and coverage guidelines, remain on the perimeter, gather necessary content, complete the live shot, and move to a safe location," a Sinclair spokesperson told The Post in an email.
"There was no directive to avoid or de-emphasize any particular perspective," the spokersperson added. "The guidance was focused on safety, logistics, and ensuring comprehensive coverage in a rapidly evolving situation. The safety of our teams is top priority."
The moment was clipped down to roughly 35 seconds and quickly went viral as it got reshared by conservative social media accounts.

CBS, now controlled by Perfidious Jewess Bari Weiss, did allow some truth to escape:

CBS reports on the reactions of the Iranian people: "It's not 'death to Israel' and 'death to America.' It's 'thank you' and 'a new day dawning'... It's the Iranian people that have been telling me over and over and over again, 'We want this.'" pic.twitter.com/IIsSr1KrT9

CNN's Dana Bash was stunned into silence as a Democrat Iranian woman told Democrats they had to "get over" their hatred of Trump and cheer the fall of the Islamic dictatorship:

On Fox, an Iranian said flatly that the left is, as they always have been, "on the side of the terrorists."

But overall, the media once again sided with terrorists and butchers while praising themselves as Holy.

ABC couldn't wait to report the false claim that the US (or Israel) had bombed a girls school in Iran. In fact, the school was hit by an Iranian missile whose engine had conked out.

Breaking: The regime in Iran has now admitted that the IRGC mistakenly bombed an Iranian school yesterday, killing many children.

Sadly, bad actors have exploited the death and war fog to help the Iranian regime hide this crime and avoid accountability.

This was, of course, an exact carbon-copy replay of the same hoax the Islamic Republic's proxies in Gaza had pulled two years ago. And once again, the Terror Press was only too happy to spread these lies for their terrorist allies:

The same media that explicitly ignored the mass protests in Iran for first few weeks and then claimed it couldn't cover the regime's mass murder of these protestors because it didn't have reporters in Iran to verify the facts is back to its Hamas playbook from the October 7th War� pic.twitter.com/m8nm6UKOF8

The CBC ran actual Iranian state propaganda photos to show how Sad! Iranians were over the death of Khamenei.

Likewise, Reuters ran video of Iran "protests" -- just the state-sponsored protests in favor of the Mullahs. They did not run video on the jubilant celebrations of Khamenei's death.

The NYT gave Khamenei the Austere Religious Scholar treatment:

If we hadn't attacked, they wouldn't have launched, the rocket wouldn't have failed, and the school would be standing. America's fault.

66 ABC couldn't wait to report the false claim that the US (or Israel) had bombed a girls school in Iran. In fact, the school was hit by an Iranian missile whose engine had conked out.

I watched the BBC News streaming channel on Dish for a few hours Saturday and Sunday morning.

Literally every hour they'd repeat the girls school bombing story with banners and by Sunday had a full package report with video of crying fathers around the bomb site repeating over & over that it was caused by an airstrike.

Meanwhile by Saturday afternoon on X people had already been posting satellite maps of the area and one photo of a rocket smoke trail going from the IRGC compound next door right into the school.

There is no way the BBC did not realize by Sunday that this was more than likely an Iranian rocket misfire but still kept on reporting it as an airstrike.

It's like watching them report on Gaza they lie so much.

For Iran, he was also on their side, on the side of the terrorists, and wanted Israel to have a nearby nuclear threat. But even still, he was too chicken shit to take any risks like this. He was a pussy.

He was even too afraid of taking out binladen, and needed Hillary to hold his hand and do the hard work for him. He even left the room so he could blame her.

But what Trump did took great confidence and skill and determination and strategy,

But it also took enormous balls. Balls like a guy who has been shot at.

Not me.

When I was in high school, I had an English teacher. Former reporter, and also run the school newspaper. On the wall in her room, she had a big blown-up copy of the famous picture of the Palestinian boy draped in the flag, winding up to hurl a rock at an Israeli soldier (soldier not pictured). It was from early in the Second Intifada. Famous picture.

Next to it was an equally blown-up picture of the reverse angle. Same boy, just from the other side. It showed a phalanx of press photographers all in position to catch the heroic moment. It was staged. The whole thing.

I asked her why she had those two pictures on her wall. She told me, "because this kind of dishonesty is why I quit to do something else."

In today's terms, she'd probably be called "based" - though I didn't realize that at the time.

France 24, 'Thank you, madam president': Melania Trump leads UN Security Council as Iran war rages
United Nations (United States) (AFP) – First Lady Melania Trump pressed the cause of children caught in conflict as she chaired a UN Security Council meeting Monday as the US-Israeli war against Iran raged.

"Ahead of the meeting, Iran's ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani said "it is deeply shameful and hypocritical that on the very first day of its presidency of the Security Council, the United States convened a high-level meeting on protecting children."

And so on...

"But the United States is still $4 billion in arrears to the UN for its regular budget and its peacekeeping budget, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning of imminent financial collapse."

They're getting schooled, too.

177 When I was in high school, I had an English teacher. Former reporter, and also run the school newspaper. On the wall in her room, she had a big blown-up copy of the famous picture of the Palestinian boy draped in the flag, winding up to hurl a rock at an Israeli soldier (soldier not pictured). It was from early in the Second Intifada. Famous picture.

Next to it was an equally blown-up picture of the reverse angle. Same boy, just from the other side. It showed a phalanx of press photographers all in position to catch the heroic moment. It was staged. The whole thing.

I asked her why she had those two pictures on her wall. She told me, "because this kind of dishonesty is why I quit to do something else."

In today's terms, she'd probably be called "based" - though I didn't realize that at the time.

There is one reason, and it's one of the things Dan Bongino got right and understood well, in my opinion.

There is no point in engaging with a leftist one-on-one and without an audience of unknown composition or an audience known to not be totally insane. Engaging rationally with and dismantling a leftist can be beneficial for the audience, and you might change a mind in the peanut gallery. This was, I think, the secret to Charlie Kirk's success. He didn't change a single *leftist* mind, but he sure changed a lot of minds in the audience.

People keep repeating that but it is neither a war, nor illegal, and when pressed on it, they cannot explain or give their legal argument for how its illegal. The closest they come is either

1) Only congress can declare war even though this isn't a war and the president is free to use military force without a declaration of war

or

2) Trump didn't inform Congress when a congressional act demands him to even though that doesn't apply here and is unconstitutional in any case.

We've lived with the lunatics in Tehran fucking with us in ways big and small, directly and through proxies and watched them aid our enemies in China and Russia. They've had 50 years to stop chasing nukes, stop killing westerners and stop funding havoc in the US and instead of stopping they double down. Its way past time for them to be gone.

And I don't give a wet fart what some "influencer" thinks about this situation or anything for that matter.

That seems backwards. Given C.B.S. News’s current leadership and their parent company, you’d want them to focus on it?

Sounds like another stunt by a right wing news org to feed Maga's persecution complex. CBS constantly focuses on the anti iran regime protests, they did the same thing in venesuala after trump kidnapped the president.

Bro I saw one koskesh reporter on an Australian news channel, who I thought was neutral, standing in front of the white house with iranian protestors behind him who had massive shiro khorshid and US flags, and then this cunt claimed they were amercians who were protesting cause they're angry about trump attacking

No, it's not. Oil is a bad energy source, harms the earth. British Columbia is run by eco-wackos and refuse to allow a pipeline from Alberta to the coast, and they also demand that tankers moving along the ocean stay outside territorial waters because oil is icky.

Ukraine did not use any of the bombs, it was mainly artillery and MLRS with anti tank missiles. We got plenty of bombs and JDAM kits. The expensive stuff is the standoff munitions that are jam proof.

306 I grew up in Houston when we had two newspapers. We took both papers back in those days. The Houston Post was owned by the Hobby family of Houston. It was considered to be slightly liberal.
The Houston Chronicle was owned by The Houston Endowment Fund that was a legacy of the owner Jesse Jones and it was the conservative paper.
The Chronicle absorbed the Post and soon after (1987 I think) then Hearst bought the Chronicle.
It is a bullshit rag of bullshit now. Every large city in Texas has Hearst papers exclusively. They are all the same bullshit.

I can't take the gaslighting, guys. I really can't. Conservatives are now running around saying "Iran has been waging war on us for 47 years." Okay then why didn't any of you call for an attack on Iran at any point until now? Why didn't you make a case for Trump "ending the war, not starting it" until precisely the moment when Trump did it? You and I both know that you are latching onto a talking point you never used until 45 seconds ago. You and I both know that almost every conservative influencer in the business was opposed to war with Iran until just now. And now you're trying to use justifications that stretch back decades. It doesn't make any sense. If you changed your mind, fine. Say so. Explain why. You're allowed to change your mind. I've changed my mind about things. But don't try to rewrite history.

I've wondered since then, every time those fucking rag heads killed some other soldier or just an innocent bystander why we didn't wipe out an entire section of their government and military. So the only reason you have never heard it, because you never asked you fucking asshole!

Back in the early 2000s I remember folks concern-trolling that Bush was going to bomb Iran, and I thought, "Seems like a good idea to me. Makes more sense than Iraq." But anyway (1) there is need, with their eagerness for nukes, (2) there is opportunity, with the uprisings, (3) there is more hope for long-term success, with Pahlavi.

Another Muslim Terrorist Attack, This Time in Austin

We may never know the motive, authorities vowed.

The man wearing a "Property of Allah" sweatshirt, with an Iranian flag shirt underneath, and a Koran in his car, Culturally Enriched two Americans to death and wounded 14 others with diversity.

He was, of course, an immigrant and a criminal, allowed into the country by Bill Clinton and then granted citizenship by Obama.

The fiend behind Sunday's bloodbath at a packed Austin bar was an ex-New York City resident wearing a "Property of Allah" hoodie -- and possibly out for vengeance over the US attack on Iran, law-enforcement sources told The Post.
Crazed Texas shooter Ndiaga Diagne, 53, of Senegal arrived in the US on March 13, 2000 on a B-2 tourist visa during the Democratic Clinton administration and became a lawful permanent resident (IR-6) when he married a US citizen in June 2006, a source familiar with his immigration history told The Post.
He then became a naturalized US citizen on April 5, 2013 around the start of former President Barack Obama's second term -- despite his growing rap sheet spanning New York and Texas.
On Sunday, the killer had a Quran in his car and was possibly also wearing an undershirt featuring the Iranian flag or other Iranian symbols when he opened fire on Buford's Backyard Beer Garden near the University of Texas-Austin campus, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

Law enforcement knew him as an emotionally disturbed person in both New York and Texas before Sunday's bloody rampage, sources said.
He also had a string of previous arrests under his belt in the Big Apple and Texas, sources said, including a 2022 arrest in the Lone Star State for collision with vehicle damage.

In New York City, he notched busts between 2001 and 2016, the year he applied for asylum under the waning Obama administration.
Diagne was arrested in 2001 for illegal vending. His other three city arrests are sealed, sources said. Details on his Texas busts were not immediately known.

In Scotland, a Cultural Enricher stabbed a bunch of people as he attempted to force his way into... a nursery.

A man has been arrested after a knife incident in Edinburgh which left two people needing hospital treatment.
Police firearms officers were called to reports of a man with a bladed weapon in the Calders area of the city at 08:25.
A stand-off followed with a suspect later seen looking out the window of an 11th-floor flat for a number of hours but he was removed by police at around 16:00.
Police Scotland said the incident was not being treated as terror-related.

I'll bet.

He sure looks pleased with himself:

49 During the Obama and Biden administrations, at work we were inundated with emails from the head of the VA at the start of Ramadama-ding dong on all of the contributions of Muslims to our society and also how they have suffered from Islamophobia. Same during June during Pride month and how Gays/Trans have been such a huge contributor to society and how they have suffered from tyranny and abuse. The underlying theme being that it is straight, white, conservative Christians and Jews doing all of these dirty deeds.

Funny how no facts were ever presented to back up these claims on how they were big contributors or how they suffered. Or what any of this had to do with taking care of America's Veterans. Just shut up and believe it!

We need to argue that point with every discussion with any muslim. They are slaves, and their slave labor is to expand the slavery. They get nothing but promises, they can not leave, and they have to only do as they are told.

I think explaining this to them might undermine their spread, recruitment, and passion for what they do.

He received it in 2000, and overstayed by 2,130 days before he got "married" to a US citizen. And he is still here wreaking havoc. I'd love to see the form he filled out and the consular officer who approved it. Make consular officers who issue visas to foreigners who overstay/adjust status or worse, commit crimes, liable for their stamp of approval. That might just shut down a huge pathway the criminals use to enter the US.

They have the option of hunting the adjustors down, Dog the Bounty Hunter style, and putting them on a plane to their country of origin in order to avoid jail/fines.

It is slavery, straight up.

People think of plantations and chains, but for most systems the slaves have freedom of movement as long as they don't leave, and some of their work effort goes toward their masters. Most plantation work even was spent growing food for all the slaves needed so you had enough laborers for harvest time.

islam is just slavery. They can't leave, they have to get on their knees toward their master 5 times a day (humiliation and submission is very important in slavery) and they have to give some money to the masters (through various means including the hajj) but the main slave labor is that of conquest.

Check out the going black market cost for Chinese in Iran trying to get out of the country. A few days ago, the going price was about $425,000 US.

I very much want to see Trump get his hands on some of the confidential documents in Tehran. In addition to China's direct involvement in trying to tone down the protesting in Iran, I bet we find that the EU was circumventing the sanctions on Iran...which would explain why they are falling all over themselves trying to suggest they are willing now to assist the US (and open up airfields to our military). They see the writing on the wall.

This has always bothered me. Clearly, someone who does something like this is mentally ill, whatever their excuse. It takes a crazy person at least temporarily to murder people. Who cares? They still did it. They still were driven to it by certain pressures and ideas in their lives.

This idea that somehow mental illness only strikes certain horrible deeds and negates their motivations, and further that someone should get a break in their sentencing for being nuts is insane and violates every real sense of justice.

We should run the Panama Canal gambit again. All those native Chagos Islanders that were deported by UK should be flown back in, declare independent from the colonialist UK and promptly sign a 99 year lease to teh US for Diego Garcia and in return we sign a treaty of protection with the new government.

Under English law itself, England cannot sign away Chagos Islanders islands to Mauritius simply because Mauritius was the administrative hq for the British colonial administration. House of Lords debate brought that up. England illegally removed the native islanders decades ago and claimed the islands were uninhabited so they could put a base there. Islanders want to return, England refused. And there it is.

To clarify: the base F-15 is a single-seat aircraft, but the F15E has two crew, similar to the F-14 of Top Gun fame.

218 9. Trannies and Muslims are competing for gold in the Mass Murdering Ideology of the decade
Posted by: Smell the Glove

A 2020 PRRI survey found that 11% of Muslims in the US identify as LGBTQ+, with a significant portion of queer Muslims (58%) having come out to friends.

PRRI in 2021, "Finally, LGBT Muslims in our sample were equally attached to their LGBT and Muslim identities— attachment to one doesn’t preclude attachment with the other."

🤔 It could always get worse before it gets better.

223 The FT is reporting that hit on Khamenei was so successful was that Israel had hacked into Tehran's traffic cameras for years and had developed a "pattern of life" file on top leaders. That and human intelligence gave the US/Israel a high confidence level for a Saturday morning strike.

China has and can continue to get fuel. What China is losing is *discount* fuel. They had three major sources for discount fuel: Venezuela, Iran and Russia. Only Russia is left. The discount there wasn't as good as the other two, but if India is about to blink on the topic of Russian oil purchases, China can negotiate a better discount.

China is still going to have access to the fuel it needs, but it is going to have to pay market price for much more of it - and in the short term (until Iran comes back online), the price is going to go up as a direct consequence. That will suck for us but suck much more for them.

China's source of fuel didn't vanish, and it won't. China's sources of low-price fuel, however, are falling.

France 24, 'Thank you, madam president': Melania Trump leads UN Security Council as Iran war rages
United Nations (United States) (AFP) – First Lady Melania Trump pressed the cause of children caught in conflict as she chaired a UN Security Council meeting Monday as the US-Israeli war against Iran raged.

"Ahead of the meeting, Iran's ambassador to the UN Amir Saeid Iravani said "it is deeply shameful and hypocritical that on the very first day of its presidency of the Security Council, the United States convened a high-level meeting on protecting children."

And so on...

"But the United States is still $4 billion in arrears to the UN for its regular budget and its peacekeeping budget, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warning of imminent financial collapse."

They're getting schooled, too.

261 Which Iranian flag?

This seems to get missed on all of the reporting but there is the official Ayatolla regime sanctioned Iranian flag and the pre- revolution Iranian flag, which features a lion holding a sword. The latter Iranian flag is waved everywhere by expats in the US, but not as a show of solidarity with the regime; in fact flying the pre revolution flag is a criminal offense in Iran.
