Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Pro-Hamas, Pro-Terrorist Communist Abdul El-Sayed Wins Nomination for Michigan Senate as Expected -- But By a Very Thin Margin![]() Trump: "Great news for the Republican Party. El-Sayed, a Communist loser who hates Jews and Israel, is the projected winner in his race with the Socialist," he posted on Truth Social. "As usual, the Polls were way off on this one. She was not expected to do nearly as well as she did. Now, the Dumocrats crazy policies will only get worse!" Rogers, for his part, has seized on El-Sayed's win, saying it made the race a choice between "common sense" and "complete insanity."

Crowder has a really good video out about how Maher used to be the gatekeeper on whether or not conservatives could use the word "socialism".
So, it's a little ironic that Bill has suddenly decided that people in the Democrat party can be described as "socialists". Posted by: Axeman at August 05, 2026 04:36 PM (Fi81e) 7

I still think establishment Dems cheated to get Stevens this close.
I've been seeing their ads for months and her biggest attack against the guy was that he disrespected women. And unlike him, she did not come across as likable in any of her ads. Hopefully all of Abdul's crazy crap becomes known and tanks him. But that would require some sort of media. Posted by: Stateless - keeping 15 year Ralphy happy and alive.

I would certainly hope this is an easy win for Republicans, even in a purple state, but America is not the same country I grew up in.
The Israel stuff is weird, I have a relative that was very early pro-Trump and all around right wing, but he's very open to a lot of the Israel conspiracy nonsense.

I think we have two shots are turning this around
1. The more power the muslims get, the more bold they are about stating their actual intention. They crave dominance and many of them can not hide what they want to do to the West once they have it. 2. We really need to make them feel "humiliated and inferior." We need to call them slaves to a dead pedo, and laugh and ridicule them telling them to get on their knees, slave. Make everyone understand the being a muslim means submitting to a conquering gang of slaves, and is antithetical to the West or any free people.

The top of the Fox News mainpage is currently occupied with a story about El-Sayed having accepted more than $115,000 in donations from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is considered a terrorist organization in the United Arab Emirates but not in the United States of America.

Dr. Allahu Akbar squeaked out a win by 16,000-ish votes; if McMorrow hadn't split the now centrist lunatic left vote Stevens would have won thus blunting the communist DSA's momentum. I take this to mean there is nearly zero chance Dr. Allahu Akbar is going to pick up enough of the Stevens/McMorrow vote to beat Rogers, the Republican, in the general election.

It is a good thing the masks have slipped off the Democrats’ true intentions and goals.
Let the average American see them for what they truly are: Anti-American; Pro-Communism; Pro Illegal and unfettered immigration; Pro Criminal. That’s the platform they are running on and I hope the Electorate sends them all packing and adds more Republican seats to the Senate and House.

On the possibly malicious ads, if youre willing to wait until it goes away, it probably will; what appears to be happening is that a new set of ads has been rotated in by whatever adserver pays the gerbils, and they havent been properly vetted, or at all. It happens regularly, on this site and others.
The general advice is to switch to a browser that lets you turn off third-party scripts on a site-specific basis, or add a plug-in to your existing browser that does the same thing. I use StopTheScript on Safari. It does mean that legitimate third-party scripts also dont run, such as embedded tweets and embedded videos. There may be a setting to fix that, but I havent cared enough to look for it. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at August 05, 2026 03:44 PM (kYmoU) 56

What he actually said that was presented at trial wasn't the same as what was reported that he said. What he actually said was more subtle. IIRC, what got him roasted at the trial wasn't the "this was fake" comment, but his comments directed at a specific set of parents that he said were using the death of their kids to promote themselves, their agenda, and to try to profit from the tragedy.

The term "gunsel" has a rich history, originally meaning a young, inexperienced boy traveling with an older tramp.

Gunsel cont.
In the early 20th century, "gunsel" gained a new connotation, particularly through Dashiell Hammett's novel "The Maltese Falcon," where it described a nervous, gun-carrying henchman. The term was popularized in Western fiction and has since evolved to include various meanings, including slang for a catamite or a young male kept as a sexual companion.

Manufacturing, importing, keeping for sale, giving or receiving a large-capacity magazine I thought there was no magazine capacity limit in federal law. Posted by: Mark1971 at August 05, 2026 03:34 PM (CNl8/) CA law. But possession alone isn't illegal, even today here in CA. Especially after the Freedom Week period a few years ago when transfer/purchase of standard capacity mags was legal in a short time between one of the Supreme Court decisions and subsequent injunction that shut it down again. Any gun parts company doing business on-line had their whole inventory sucked dry by CA gun owners that week. Plus, for years you could purchase magazine repair kits that were just disassembled mags. As long as you never ended up assembling them into more standard cap mags than you started with, it wasn't a magazine, it was just a pile of 100% legal parts so when the springs or feed lips wore out on your mags, you could repair them to proper function.

Posted by: Common Tater at August 05, 2026 04:17 PM (UKUO1) ==== Trump has completely changed the immigration court system. He fired dozens of administrative judges that were granting asylum all the time and hired a bunch that say no to everything. The driver of massively increased deportation orders if from this change. It creates the large pool from which ICE has to operate, and local police have to identify illegals they meet in regular interactions.

It's the same thing Candace uses against Erika Kirk because she didn't look the right level of sad at any point since her husband was murdered.
Jones is also full-on with the Egyptian planes ignited the explosive microphone that definitely killed Charlie and Tyler Robinson was actually in Australia at the time. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at August 05, 2026 04:12 PM (vmxqS) If Erica had wept continually and put herself under medical care for grief, Owens would just say its obviously too much and fake, thus proving that she's in on it. Growing up with 3 sisters and 2 brothers I had a rich appreciation in the logistics of our family going anywhere, even out in the yard. I can't imagine why conspiracy theorists think adding more actors and more complications makes things more believable. I mean if the Jews or French wanted Kirk dead, they could have just killed him themselves without suborning the wife and inventing exploding mikes.

Posted by: Black Orchid at August 05, 2026 04:19 PM (j+aD2) ===== 1.5 million forced deportations in the last 12 months. Add in the first 4 months or so of Trump's second term, and it's probably about 1.7 million. Self-deportation ratio is probably on the higher end because Trump is emptying out entire communities of illegals, incentivizing the rest to leave, all while Treasury regulations are making it impossible for illegals to interact with the American financial system at all (while OBBB cut them off from benefits), and the spectacle leftists and the media have made of ICE murdering people. I suspect the number is over 6 million deported since Trump took office. On average, Biden let in between 3 and 5 million per year.

Whether or not this guy is trans (I would bet he is from the name, and the photo could be from before his ”transition” ) I am not surprised that a lot of trans people are angry. They have been lied to, told these painful surgeries and mind altering pills will “fix” them. They have not been “fixed”. But what I did not guess is that all that anger has been turned on the normies and on targets like Trump for not being supportive enough of their “transition”. I would have thought the anger would be unleashed on the charlatans in doctor’s whites who sold them this lie. You’d think they’d be angry at the “doctors,” not at the rest of us. I guess that takes too much rationality: if you are dumb enough to fall for the scam, you’re too dumb to know you’ve been scammed.

That being said, the judgment was unusually punitive and I would say, unconstitutional. It was meant to be confiscatory and deliberately take away all he had. That’s not how it works. I don’t care how ridiculous an offensive he was, that judgement completely lacked any protection of his constitutional rights. Posted by: Vengeance What you are arguing is proportionality but the problem here is that tort law is not restricted to actual damages but allows punitive damages so that it never occurs again. This is in lieu of criminalizing the acts themselves where Jones would instead go to prison and be heavily fined. And Scotus has been very reluctant to reign in states on tort litigation. Closest is BMW v. Gore where the actual damages were 50k (IIRC) but the punitive was near 100 million awarded out of Alabama. In this case, the ratios were less than that and Jones did not have enough to cover the damages awarded because each parent who was defamed could collect with punitive damages. So it was really more of a class of litigants rather than just one parent. Posted by: whig at August 05, 2026 04:33 PM (E4rtv) 287

Whether or not this guy is trans (I would bet he is from the name, and the photo could be from before his ”transition” ) I am not surprised that a lot of trans people are angry. They have been lied to, told these painful surgeries and mind altering pills will “fix” them. They have not been “fixed”. But what I did not guess is that all that anger has been turned on the normies and on targets like Trump for not being supportive enough of their “transition”. I would have thought the anger would be unleashed on the charlatans in doctor’s whites who sold them this lie. You’d think they’d be angry at the “doctors,” not at the rest of us. I guess that takes too much rationality: if you are dumb enough to fall for the scam, you’re too dumb to know you’ve been scammed.

What's the "magic dirt" meme? I'm sure no chatbot will tell me straight-up.
It's that America is successful because the land itself is magical. This has two predicates: 1) Successful white Americans didn't do anything to be successful, the dirt did it. Or as Obama put it "you didn't build that". 2) Anyone from anywhere in the world could be brought here and be the next Bezos or Musk. And that it's in fact a moral requirement to bring everyone from everywhere here. Posted by: Ian S. at August 05, 2026 04:35 PM (2ocoG) 294

Honestly, it's a toss up between her and Lupita Nyong'o. ~ Blade Posted by: one hour sober at August 05, 2026 04:48 PM (J4Dwc) Pro-Men-In-Women's-Sports WNBA Coach: Boy It Makes Me Mad When Men Take Coaching Jobs from WomenWNBA coach Cheryl Reeve, who wore a shirt with the message "Trans Kids Belong" as an apparent troll of Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, previously called for a "Rooney Rule" in her organization to protect women's coaching jobs from being taken over by men. In an interview on the podcast Good Game with Sarah Spain, Reeve openly expressed fear about men taking women's jobs in coaching positions. "We had more women coaching college basketball before Title IX. After Title IX, when it became more important and more investment -- that was code for, 'well, that's a man's job.' You got paid more; it became a man's job," she said. "To this day, we still don't have more women coaching in college basketball than we do men. Apply that same thing to two years ago, we lost seven WNBA coaches, they got fired, because all of the sudden, this money, the WNBA blew up," she continued. "Valuations of franchises. In comes the NBA folks again, who had cast us aside for many years. Now, they want their franchises back. That sorta thing. It's more important again. And then we have more men." ... In response [to Sophie Cunningham], Reeve said that "every kid has a right to sports regardless of (being) gender diverse, transgender."

If I understand the position of the inclusive left correctly, a trans-woman (born a man then transitions) has no biological advantage over those born women. To look at it another way, those born women have no biological disadvantage when competing against men. If that is the case, why isn't the position of the inclusive left that there should be NO men's and women's sports but one sport where everyone competes equally?
Who can object if women, trans-women, trans-men and men all compete equally? No one is disadvantaged or advantaged, at least according to the reasoning of the inclusive left. Posted by: JB1000 at August 05, 2026 02:45 PM (L1m4m) 83
I decided that trans-ism is an extreme development in the theme of atheism.
Not simple atheism. Not the lack of a belief in God or gods. But the actual social ordering principle associated to "atheism". Many atheists are in flight from gravity of thinking. So it's so much easier if I just say you are who you claim to be--unless I don't like the particular category you transgressed. Because it's no big deal either way, right?! And "I am rational, because I like to think of myself as rational." If we just make up our mind about fewer things and kick more cans down the road, life will improve.

So the Sportscaster "woman" thinks its a joke that a high school team could beat a women's professional team? WTF is she doing as a sportscaster?
There is NO sport except for women's gymnastics and long distance cold water swimming where women have an advantage over men. It is well documented that men out perform women in sports. And well documented that high school aged boys routinely outperform college or pro female athletes in multiple sports. The fact that she claims to be completely unaware of this historical fact is nonsense. She is a liar or a total fraud who does not know her job.

If you gave me free tickets to women's soccer I would probably go if it were a nice day. I'd probably watch a softball tournament if there was beer. It just doesn't inspire the same level of "fandom" as men's sports. As a result it doesn't make as much money. As a result, the teams and players don't make as much money.

The Left loves nothing more than making conservatives prove what the Left already knows but will fervently deny.
They love it. We spent 40 years trying to "prove" the media was biased and after denying it by saying that's just "reality" and "news can't be biased because it's news" (yes that happened all the way up to Fox appearing). 40 years they denied it and 40 years you had websites like this and HA laying out treatises and scientific proofs. And then one day they basically just came out said of course we're leftards it's the only right and good thing to be, and fuck you for noticing, you queer pieces of shit. This is the same now. We have to "prove" men and women are different. Or then men are physically stronger or whatever. They love how much time we burn trying to support the plainly obvious. Gives them more time to plan.

Belief in nothingness is no different than any religious belief.
Posted by: whig at August 05, 2026 03:06 PM (E4rtv) Leftardism is Seinfeld? You are correct but actually I don't think the Left believe in nothing. I think they believe in Survival of the Fittest and the commensurate conquering that comes along. They believe fervently in destruction which is unfortunately not the same as believing in nothing. Someone who believes in nothing would be happy to worship a blank wall. These people want your bone and sinew and even that's not enough. Posted by: ... at August 05, 2026 03:16 PM (sRo0+) 210

If just ONE major college would field a "women's" basketball team of all biological males pretending to identify as women -- and ultimately skunked every women's team in a season and easily won the NCAA National Championship, it would put an end to the entire idiotic business.
Posted by: ShainS at August 05, 2026 02:31 PM (+n6Zq) It's already happened and it didn't quite put an end to it. A few years back a college team put something like three trans players on it in CA. They won some, about 2 colleges in the conference refuse to play them and forfeited, they threw some games to not look invincible IIRC and it all got a bit nasty but it was enough to push back at the initial invasion. I think now college sports does not support trans women players now. Posted by: Oldcat at August 05, 2026 03:24 PM (uhVAy) 244

The less naive a woman is the less leftist she is.
Young women are more leftist, like young people in general, because they haven’t learned to take everything a teacher, professor, or media celebrity tells them with a huge grain of salt. It seems a lot of women never grow out of it, especially if believing everything they’re being told benefits them personally. That’s why the cognitive dissonance is so strong with the trans issues, because their supporting men dressed as women in sports doesn’t benefit them personally, at all. It’s turning into a red pill moment for women. Posted by: SpeakingOf at August 05, 2026 03:30 PM (6ydKt) 261

If Atheists as a social movement wanted to think more, Robert Owen, the inventor of "socialism", would have done something more when he discovered that he can't just create a new society by putting people on a commune where nobody does any work and he just pays for everything.
And Marx would have done more than theorize "You know the problem? Owen made it voluntary!!" If we can just have a government to beat people into that shape, everybody having no more or no less than anybody else will give people "dignity" and solve all the problems so we'd never need government again" And "religion is the opiate of the people" because--geeez! Look how easy all this is going to be once you take it rationally! And yet, no matter how many times they fail there is a corpus of atheists who think that their conception of "rationality", i.e., thinking all the things I want to think because I haven't yet discovered their irrationality, because "improving society" is easy, once you're "rational". They have to take the reins and structure society. And the moronicity of "Critical Theory" falls out of that crack. Posted by: Axeman at August 05, 2026 03:31 PM (Fi81e) 265

And this is simply where someone got pushed enough by assholes to go public with the high pressure come on from that organization. And as American society changes from high trust to low trust, best take care of your existing organs because the donor base is shrinking quite a bit.

@226...add demonic to the equation.
Once they moved past making homosexuality accepted they moved on to pedo. I read a book about it in 2014, but at the time thought it not true. And here we are. Is bestiality next? It starts out as rebellion and shock factor, then moves into mainstream with liberals. It is demonic to think abortions are ok. Not just the brutal killing of the unborn, but the selective process, and the women who do this acting like a baby human is rubbish. The "clump of cells" Planned Parenthood sold us in the '70's became obsolete as soon as sonograms showed a heartbeat at 8wks. The women who act like this is a badge of courage, to have multiple abortions as if they are having teeth filled will be judged harshly. Some may figure it out before death and repent is all the kindess I can spare for them. Children are not chattal to be abused in any way, especially sexual abuse. That as well is demonic and so horrific I can't think about it. I am not explaining this well, but it all reeks of satan. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 05, 2026 03:32 PM (hzuYO) 269

If one compares philosophical atheism in the Hellenistic era against how the Seleucids and Iranians were behaving at the time (or, G-d help us, Carthage), it looks a lot better.

Clickbait. The guy died in the hospital. He earlier signed a donor card, so they arrived to take the organs. His wife said, "no he didn't, he's a Muslim now." Posted by: Elric The Blade at August 05, 2026 03:24 PM (iFTx/) ******* Not clickbait. These organ harvesting organizations are greedy as hell. Sec.

It's BS they were trying to say removing your organ donor status from your driver's license doesn't count. Once a donor, always a donor.
Thankfully they didn't just kick the door down and harvest the organs like Monty Python. When my brother died, we offered him for organ donations because he always said he would do that but they turned it down because he was in such bad shape by that point.

Posted by: SMH at August 05, 2026 04:12 PM (RqMDa) Revealed Documents: Corrupt FBI Operatives Opened Investigation of Trump as a RUSSIAN AGENT Because He Fired Their Ringleader James ComeyGunther EaglemanJohn Solomon: FBI Follies: Bureau secretly probed Trump as a Russian asset for firing Comey: declassified memos Documents declassified by the White House Government Transparency Task Force show the investigation -- codenamed "Oxferd Comma" -- was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey's May 9, 2017 firing and was predicated on allegations that the bureau's own agents had mostly dismissed by that time. The FBI opened a criminal probe specifically targeting Donald Trump in May 2017, alleging the newly elected president may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-Director James Comey even though the bureau's own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no collusion with the Kremlin. Internal memos newly declassified by the White House show the investigation -- codenamed "Oxferd Comma" -- was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey's May 9, 2017, firing and was predicated on an allegation that previously released memos show the bureau's own agents had mostly dismissed. "The FBI is opening a full investigation based on an articulable factual basis that reasonably indicates that President Donald J. Trump may be or has been, wittingly or unwittingly, involved in activities for or on behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation which may constitute violations of federal criminal law or threats to the national security of the United States," the electronic communication opening the probe on May 16, 2017, stated. Goal of the investigation was to determine if Trump was directed by or controlled by the Russian Federation "The goal of the investigation is to determine if President Trump is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation in a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and/or a violation of federal criminal statutes," it added. "In addition, this investigation will also seek to determine whether President Trump and others yet to be named obstructed and/or conspiracy to obstruct any associated FBI investigation." The memo, written by the FBI's counterintelligence division and approved by then-FBI General Counsel James Baker and then-Assistant Director for Counterintelligence William Priestap, made clear the concerns about Russian influence and obstruction included Comey's firing, in part because of the public explanations Trump gave for the termination. "This alternative explanation can be reasonably read to imply that the FBI's counterintelligence investigation was a factor in President Trump's decision to terminate Comey," the memo stated.In other words, James Comey was executing Hillary Clinton's op to investigate Trump as a RUSSIAN AGENT -- while lying to Trump about doing so, telling Trump there wasn't anything to these "scurrilous allegations" while secretly ordering an investigation -- and Trump fired him both for that absurd investigation and for lying to his superior and the Commander in Chief about it. And then the FBI said, "his firing of Comey proves he's an asset of Russia."

What I have learned over the last 10 years is that the FBI and the DOJ are the enforcement arms of the deep state. They will act to undo any election result the deep state doesn't like.
We live in a police state. Sure, its not quite as obvious as East Germany was, but its the same result. We aren't really our own masters. We aren't in charge of our own money, or laws and we can't do anything they don't want us to do. And we can't complain about the things they want us to do that we don't like without being branded deplorable, fascist, racist, islamophobic, transphobes.

He had well-deserved plans to step back from public service that I interrupted by asking him to help in my transition.

Rod Rosenstein was a closet Deep Stater who pretty much did what the DC Ruling Caste told him to do. Because he wanted to continue to be a candidate for lucrative jobs in the high-ranks of Big Law Firms, when he eventually resigned or retired from FedGov.
We can't know if Sessions would have initially played the game a whole lot better. He quickly recused himself from all Trump Russia-Russia-Russia matters. For no reason other than appearances.

Many amateur sleuths who have been pretty accurate about what happened since the early days of this hoax filed FOIA request after FOIA request to get documents to prove their hypothesis'.
My understanding of the FOIA request is that you must submit information of specific requests to get a response. This includes spelling.

I often wonder if Hillary's "Filegate" (improper acquisition of FBI files to which she shouldn't have had access) was less about opposition research, and more about putting her team in place ahead of a planned presidential run.
Comey is a good example. In Bill Clinton's second term he got a nice promotion and shot right up the ladder. The same occurred with Peter Strzok. Comey left Hillary off the hook on the email server. Strzok led that investigation. Stzrzok joined the FBI at the start of Bill Clinton's second term and was in a management position in Richmond shortly after. That seems unlikely.

That plot got so complicated I forgot why Comey ever put Hillary back on the hot seat, thus possibly spiking her White House bid (she blamed him furiously). There was an explanation that was less conjectural than "doing it for show" and more of a procedural necessity. Can't remember what it was.

It's a disgrace. It's been so for many years.
Can probably only hope the Comeys, Pelosis, Garlands, Bidens, Clintons, and even the Obamas, become of absolutely no value to the new breed other than they'll happily 'remove' a few properties and some stock - you know, "generational wealth" - from their vast portfolios. Honeymoon? Here's the cutesy version of the Bidens in 1977. It begins, StarLife Documented February 17 · Here is a detail about Jill Biden's honeymoon that almost nobody talks about, and it's genuinely wild. When she and Joe Biden got married on June 17, 1977, at the Chapel at the United Nations in New York City, they chose to spend their honeymoon at Lake Balaton in Hungary, which was at the time still firmly part of the Eastern Bloc under Communist rule. This wasn't some adventurous backpacker trip. This was a sitting United States Senator taking his new wife behind the Iron Curtain for their romantic getaway in an era when that kind of travel was genuinely unusual and politically eyebrow-raising." Why the Bidens' and Obama's (and, yes, the Clinton's) obsession over the Balkans, Ukraine, etc.? 🧐 /R Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 05, 2026 02:02 PM (NFX2v) 219

All you need to see that is how she went out of her way to campaign (as a State Attorney General) on behalf of Mitt Romney all around the country. She, IMO, was serving as a gatekeeper on behalf of the establishment, and did so sparingly so as to remain in the position as long as possible. NO WAY, they DOJ should have just quietly dropped the challenge to the Autopen abuse. But Bondi did, because it tied up the parties that were abusing it (Not Biden, he had no idea IMO)....but the political insiders that spread out to other policiticans and had the potential to rub off on them.

30 year political appointees and prosecutors do not make the kind of "faux pas" where they say something is on their desk and then scramble to look like they're covering up something big.
Maybe she was dumb and merely fell for someone else's promises like a naif, but I don't think so - the "on my desk" thing was pretty damning. And then Trump was stuck, he couldn't very well fire her then. Posted by: ... at August 05, 2026 02:05 PM (sRo0+) 238

Why would she want to do that to Trump? She was very close to him and was one of his defense lawyers during the impeachment farce. The entire Epstein bullshit was a clown show from day 1. No matter what was released the same idiots who claim that Trump was involved with Epstein despite the fact the was the guy who turned him in in Florida, offered to testify against him and then had his DOJ arrest him still claim he was involved with Epstein just like they still claim Russia collusion was ever real. Bondi was dropped into the most corrupt agency in DC. She wasn't perfect, she made mistakes, so does Trump and everyone else, but I don't think she ever wanted to hurt Trump.

>>With that I will ask why would Sessions recuse?
Likely for the reason he explained in front of Congress. He was required by statute to do so. Sessions was part of the campaign and everyone on the campaign was being investigated including him. He was not allowed by statute to oversee and investigation he might have been implicated in. Sessions was one of Trump's earliest supporters. First senator to endorse him long before anyone else got onboard. Long before Russia collusion was even contemplated. I think Sessions was guilty of being a naive boy scout and followed the law not realizing the level of corruption he was up against. In hindsight it's easy to see but back in those early days when Comey bragged he setup Flynn by sending a couple guys to the White House to interview him and not go through proper channels because the Trump administration was just coming into office and not fully organized things weren't so clear. They were plotting against all of them. Again, it obviously hurt Trump but it's not like the coup plotters were complete idiots. They were plotting to drive all of them out and destroy the entire administration. Posted by: JackStraw at August 05, 2026 02:20 PM (viF8m) 299

Short version is that the Republicans caved and will not follow the directive from the White House and Office of the Budget to require agency head to sign off on each and every grant (or provide sufficient oversight). What this means is the Dems have reopened their pipeline for campaign cash by laundering out Federal Grant money through cut outs and returning it into dem coffers via unscrutinized "grass roots" donations. ActBlue lives on, and so does tax payers subsidizing Democrats. Collins is excrement. Posted by: Orson at August 05, 2026 02:22 PM (dIske) 307

Barack Obama became the first U.S. president to use an autopen to sign a bill into law, employing the machine to sign legislation while he was out of the country, most notably in May 2011.
Key Autopen Occasions May 26, 2011: While attending the G8 Summit in Deauville, France, Obama used the autopen to sign an extension of the Patriot Act to avoid its expiration. November 28, 2011: He used the machine to sign an appropriations bill while in Indonesia. January 3, 2013: While on vacation in Hawaii, he used the autopen to sign the "fiscal cliff" bill (American Taxpayer Relief Act) to meet a deadline while he was thousands of miles from Washington, D.C.. Context: While the autopen has been used by presidents for routine correspondence since Truman, Obama was the first to use it for official legislation, citing a 2005 Justice Department legal opinion that allowed a subordinate to affix the President's signature if directed. --- Office of Counsel, DOJ, Whether the President May Sign a Bill by Directing That His Signature Be Affixed to It Date of Issuance: July 7, 2005 👉Steven G.

You definitely don't want to put it off. If you wait too long, they may not be able to save the tooth and you'll have to have the tooth extracted. Then you'll need an expensive implant and a crown.
Posted by: redridinghood at August 05, 2026 02:21 PM (NpAcC) Speaking from personal experience, root canals eventually fail, and the tooth comes out anyway. And it is a miserable process to endure. Better just to yank the offending tooth, and get an implant. The process is less painful to endure, and less time in the chair. Yes, it requires several visits. And the price differential between a root canal and an implant is dropping. The extra money is worth it for the reduced discomfort, IMHO.

Remember, Trump has fired more than a third of the federal government civilian workforce. And that the real solution is to win the next election. There is no permanent fix. The only solution is always to win the next election because, yes, Democrats will continue to scam the system, no matter the rules.

Turns out they're both apparently in bed with foreign intel services. Kiriakou has openly admitted to sucking off the Russians, because they pay him, and Bustamove is relocating out of the US (I think he's moving to the UK), probably because he recently got caught out as a bullshitter who claimed to be a CIA James Bond, but ended up being more like the janitor in the executive wing at Langley.

Reminder again, in Oct 2016 FBI received a Steele memo that included the tidbit Michael Cohen traveled to Prague in August to pay off hackers.
FBI then investigates this detail and finds a different Michael Cohen traveled to Prague. This is evidence the dossier is a frame job. Obviously someone fed Steele Michael Cohen's travel info with the intention the FBI would look it up and put in the FISA application that we validated this portion of the dossier. But whoever in the government looked up travel info made a mistake, revealing the plot. The FBI ignored this detail and went ahead. Jake Tapper revealed this detail on Twitter, but did not tell his viewers the dossier is a fake. Instead he complained to Buzazfeed for making the dossier public.

Posted by: epador at August 05, 2026 04:07 PM (TRnzq) Update: Fake DEI Perfesser Now Claiming Some Racists Left a Pig's Head on His Door; Local Butchers and Police DenyHe's not just a plagiarist, he's a serial liar. He can't stop making things up. He's literally never been called on his lies before so this is a whole new experience for him. John Sexton:[Y]esterday the NY Times published a story which basically summarized what is happening. While the story does cover most of the territory, all of the really damaging findings about Arday are left out. That seems odd, especially after Arday canceled an interview with the Times to answer their questions.I think that answers itself.Arday has also told the press that his academic successes brought darker attention, including the delivery of a severed pig's head to his parents' home and repeated visits to his office by a masked intruder, once while wielding a knife... ... As for his personal life, he said he "had no reason to lie or fabricate," and reiterated that he was the victim of "a wider campaign, motivated by racism, to discredit me in every single way possible."... ...over the weekend, British news outlets, including some that previously ran admiring coverage of Arday, raised fresh questions about possible anomalies in his published work and unsupported elements of his personal story, including his claims about the pig's head and the masked intruder.So the pig's head story gets mentioned twice in the story and once more in the subheading. But what you see above is it. The Times says there are "possible anomalies" with this story but then stops and doesn't offer any details. The story has been updated today but there's still no mention of what happened with the pig's head. They do offer a link if you want to look it up yourself, but why not follow this story to the end? Here's what the Guardian reported Saturday about the pig's head story.As I said yesterday, there only seem to be two possible explanations here. Either the police and the local butcher are out to get Arday or he's lying. The much more likely possibility is the second one. So, getting back to the NY Times, why would they raise this issue in an article and then fail to mention that the police and the butcher said his claims were absolutely false? Why wouldn't they mention that Arday has zero evidence (no texts or pictures) to back up his crazy claim?

Apparently the Kurds are attacking Iran from Iraq, and there are analysts of the area thinking we will see similar step-offs from Baluchistan and possibly from the Gulf states.
This seems that Trump calling off the attack this week may have had more to do with the lack of basic military logistics and coordination in the region than leaks from the Pentagon; the leak story may have been the cover story to the fact that our allies are unable to get their thumbs out in reasonable amounts of time. It looks like ground action, or at least some sort of seaborne attacks may be in the works to take up the IRGC holdouts in the ports, and the USN is in place to do it.

Posted by: Bulg at August 05, 2026 01:01 PM (77rzZ) An Anthropology prof I took classes for was focused on cannibalism in New Guinea, and one of the insights is that pig parts and human parts use identical terms. However, one of the theories I heard about Leviticus is that it was an outgrowth of cultural elements of Egypt, where pigs were celebrated so much that they would only eat them at one festival period in the year. Also some of the early cities in Judea found raising pigs in nominally Jewish cities, which could either mean some overlap from the Philistines, cultural adoption from the Philistines, or that the hardline prohibition was a later adoption of the culture and religion.

My MIL made a hideous concoction for Easter every year. A Polish dish of pig's feet and random chicken pieces off a carcass. They'd eat this with vinegar for brunch. It somehow congealed into beige with lumps of meat and I've had one nasty bite in my almost 50yrs of knowing them. They almost come to blows over it if not enough made. It is called a word that sounds like jim-na-nuggie. I don't eat beige jello food for starters, nor pig's feet. I also royally do not pick over a chicken's carcass unless it is end times and I have to. I eat white meat and don't care what others think. Have told my husband I did not descend from peasants like he apparently did (altho he's wonderful and good lookin'). They would probably eat road kill as I was often horrified with what was served.

He IS a fake ass doctor. Got money from Soros groups to get him through school. Never got a license to practice, and immediately took a gubmint job.

He speculated that that's where the Jewish prohibition on eating pork came from -- it was too reminiscent of cannibalism.
Posted by: Bulg at August 05, 2026 01:01 PM (77rzZ) An Anthropology prof I took classes for was focused on cannibalism in New Guinea, and one of the insights is that pig parts and human parts use identical terms. However, one of the theories I heard about Leviticus is that it was an outgrowth of cultural elements of Egypt, where pigs were celebrated so much that they would only eat them at one festival period in the year. Also some of the early cities in Judea found raising pigs in nominally Jewish cities, which could either mean some overlap from the Philistines, cultural adoption from the Philistines, or that the hardline prohibition was a later adoption of the culture and religion. == Zoonosis from pigs to humans - the Lord was looking out for the people . . .

234 Apparently the Kurds are attacking Iran from Iraq, and there are analysts of the area thinking we will see similar step-offs from Baluchistan and possibly from the Gulf states.
This seems that Trump calling off the attack this week may have had more to do with the lack of basic military logistics and coordination in the region than leaks from the Pentagon; the leak story may have been the cover story to the fact that our allies are unable to get their thumbs out in reasonable amounts of time. It looks like ground action, or at least some sort of seaborne attacks may be in the works to take up the IRGC holdouts in the ports, and the USN is in place to do it.

The people that came in, they are eating the cats. They're eating – they are eating the pets of the people that live there."The officials said it isn't happening, you say? Well, that's good enough for me! They did no reporting. They asked no real people in Springfield. They didn't send a "journalist" to go to migrant areas of Springfield and talk to the natives. They picked up the phone, got the official Party line from the local officials, printed it uncritically and asserted that anyone claiming otherwise was spreading disinformation from Trump and his villainous allies. This trip down memory lane is just to set the stage, because this is such a common Press tactic that it has become almost invisible. The progression is always the same: CLAIM: Spain’s move to legalize the status of immigrants caused the rush. THE FACTS: Spain’s government is carrying out an amnesty for immigrants without residency permits who could prove they had been living in the country for at least five months and arrived before Jan. 1, 2026. Over 1 million people applied before the window closed at the end of last month.So they did grant amnesty - but that doesn't apply to these guys because they came too recently. Nobody said that these guys would get amnesty because of the law change - but the AP certainly can't discuss how amnesty inevitably leads to more migration or sets the stage for additional violations of the border. Ignore the problem. Just say it's not a thing. CLAIM: A misconstrued Spanish court ruling is to blame. THE FACTS: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has pushed the argument that a recent ruling by Spain’s Supreme Court had been intentionally misconstrued by migrant smugglers to convince thousands of people to cross the border by swimming around the border fence.So the ruling was construed as saying it said exactly what it said, but the problem is that people noticed that the ruling said what it said. Amazing! AP "debunked" this one by verifying it. Top-notch work. CLAIM: Those who crossed will end up in mainland Europe. THE FACTS: The Ceuta crossings have led to political leaders in Italy, France and other EU nations to take measures that appear aimed at stopping people from entering their countries. Premier Giorgia Meloni threatened to suspend Italy’s open-border Schengen agreement with Spain even though Italy doesn’t share a border with Spain and receives many more migrants crossing the Mediterranean than Spain. French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said France would also strengthen border checks with Spain.This one is amazing. "This claim is absolutely true - but because it's true, some other European countries are on the brink of destroying the treaty basis for the entire European Union, so it now isn't true." That's one hell of a take. I'd love it if this spells the beginning of the end of the EU, but claiming that countries abrogating Schengen because of the risks associated with Schengen means that Schengen presents no risks is such a baffling conclusion that only a genuine retard - a Press-grade retard - could come up with it. This tactic has long since become absurd. People see what's happening and know that something's rotten and talk about it, so the Press comes marching in to interview some officials or NGO types and then claim that none of this is what it so obviously is. A group of prominent liars asks another group of prominent liars a question and then uncritically publishes the deceitful response while liberally filling in the blanks however they please - and then have the temerity to lament the loss of institutional trust. It s not difficult to explain the latter, as this level of contemptuous and deceitful stupidity is so common and so normal that it has become transparent to the point of tedium.

Sadly I suspect that many younger journalists are not even aware that they are tools of the communists.

We are currently in STAGE 4 "It's complicated." "STAGE 1. THE “CRISIS”: Some situation exists, whose negative aspects the anointed propose to eliminate. STAGE 2. THE “SOLUTION”: Policies to end the “crisis” are advocated by the anointed, who say that these policies will lead to beneficial result A. Critics say that these policies will lead to detrimental result Z. The anointed dismiss these latter claims as absurd and “simplistic,” if not dishonest. STAGE 3. THE RESULTS: The policies are instituted and lead to detrimental result Z. STAGE 4. THE RESPONSE: Those who attribute detrimental result Z to the policies instituted are dismissed as “simplistic” for ignoring the “complexities” involved, as “many factors” went int determining the outcome."

A lefty guy I know just published a book on the future of the EU, the central tenant of which is that the EU has turned into a dictatorship of sorts, benevolent generally, and run technocratically. For now.
Because it was never an organic, "consent of the governed" organization, it was always an imposition from above. Now it is threatening to turn ugly. Unfettered immigration, IMO, is the issue that will break the Union. First off, the countries cannot afford it. Second, their prisons aren't big enough (See UK "Early Release" plans). Third, there is cultural backlash turning overwhelmingly political (Germany). Posted by: Huck Follywood at August 05, 2026 11:13 AM (zG53D) 36

The problem is that they are writing history's first draft. Today we see the obvious lie. But they keep repeating in, and 10 years later you hear it and you think, "hey, I seem to recall that wasn't the case," but you do an internet search and all you pull up are links that confirm the lie. Then 15-20 years later, they've worked the lie into textbooks, scholarship, heck, there's even a new HBO "based on true events" movie that all reinforce the lie. Now the people who didn't live through it, or who didn't really follow it at the time, are completely brainwashed. They do this because it works. They do this because they are in it for the long game.

"'Journalists'" are the lowest form of life"
They are the modern-day equivalent of actors, court jesters, and performers of old. Basically, cheap whores. Today's "journalists" are much better paid, but do not reside much higher in the minds of the public. Poll after poll puts journalists at a lower approval rating than "rats crawling up your ass and laying eggs." Journalists are routinely despised by normal people. But -- like the performers of old -- they function as performers and cosplayers in what has become not informative but almost pure theater.

Eugyppius' analysis -- https://tinyurl.com/ywcvdhzp
The migrants aren’t really a great labour force; they remain overwhelmingly on the dole and unemployed. The humanitarian thesis feels increasingly post hoc to me – a story we started telling ourselves when the migration was already happening and we needed somehow to feel good about it. And some parties on the left may once have hoped that the migrants would form a favourable client class to cement their political dominance, but on the electoral front migration has served only to fuel the rise of the populist right. Mostly these insane things happen because we’re weak, and our leaders have lost interest in basic state functions like border security. They’ve moved on to more interesting and exotic projects – weird social engineering projects to stamp out whatever they imagine “the right” to be, weird energy projects to phase out fossil fuel combustion, weird governance projects to relocate responsibility over many aspects of the economy and daily life to unelected managers and technocrats. Mass migration is in nobody’s interest but it keeps happening because the flabby and distracted states of Europe can’t be arsed to stop it. Posted by: Kindltot at August 05, 2026 11:38 AM (rbvCR) 88

BREAKING: The Spanish royals gathered for their annual glitzy Marivent Palace reception in Majorca on Tuesday, exuding effortless elegance.
Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia stepped out with their parents, King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia, and grandmother Queen Sofia. The gathering was attended by local authorities and dignitaries from across the Balearic Islands. Queen Sofia, embraced a bold and bright colour scheme, opting for a silk floral Alejandro de Miguel caftan over a burgundy dress, which she paired with a geometric necklace and Isabel Gurach brooch to accessorise. Her granddaughters arrived in style. Leonor, who is heir to the throne, embracing her natural brunette waves, while she wore a two-piece orange and red ensemble by Spanish brand Thinking Mu. Leonor wore the top to a Bad Bunny concert in Madrid earlier this summer. This time, she accessorised the look with gold sandals and a gold arm cuff. Her sister, meanwhile, stepped out in a pink, blue and white floral Libelula maxi dress by Italian brand Momoni, which she finished with a gold belt. Queen Letizia was regal in a cream midi dress with stylish coordinated sandals. Posted by: AoSHQ Celebrity News Bureau and Rumour Centre at August 05, 2026 11:39 AM (0sNs1) 92

The fact that the commie media is desperate to spin this Moroccan invasion into something other than what it clearly is a very welcome and positive development.
Why? 1. The story is too big and explosive to bury. The commie media initially tried to ignore or downplay it. That failed. 2. The desperate spin shows the commie media is very worried about the optics of the invasion. Thousands of half-naked mongrel men pouring into a city like a scene out of World War Z is much scarier and more provocative than the pics of short fat women dragging haggardly babies in caravan lines in Mexico. 3. In fact, the optics are so abominably rat-smellingly bad that half of normally immigrant-loving Europe closed or threatened to close their borders to Spain.

The FBI opened a criminal probe specifically targeting Donald Trump in May 2017, alleging the newly elected president may have been acting as a Russian asset when he fired then-Director James Comey even though the bureau’s own evidence overwhelmingly showed at the time there was no collusion with the Kremlin.
Internal memos newly declassified by the White House show the investigation – codenamed “Oxferd Comma” – was launched in the immediate aftermath of Comey’s May 9, 2017, firing and was predicated on an allegation that previously released memos show the bureau’s own agents had mostly dismissed.

Posted by: Gref at August 05, 2026 12:15 PM (5rh/l) As I stated yesterday, I use an old version of Chrome 109.0.5414.168. With AdBlock Plus. No ads. No popups. On a laptop running Windows 8.1.

It’s great there are ad blockers. But the typical reader won’t start installing software for a website. They’ll just leave.
Eh, it’s Ace’s joint, he’s calculating the pop up revenue will be worth the lost readers. He may be right he may be wrong. His decision. Posted by: Before You Go at August 05, 2026 12:19 PM (TSRtE) 161
I don't think Ace gets a penny from the pop ups. I brought up the information on the "Before You Go" pop ups. It's an outside company who hires a third party hacker to put hidden script into the source code. That guy gets paid, as does the advertiser depot that hired the hacker. It's a growing problem. It's also a felony violation of the current cyber laws. So, the more views the criminal gets, the more money he gets...which is why it pops up so frequently, and switches content each time.

A group of over 1,000 left-wing lawyers in Germany have demanded the government ban the anti-mass migration Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party as it has surged to become the most popular in the country.

____________________ Stay tuned on this one. AfD has moved their support needle up over 40% in a significant part of Germany. Eventually, they are going to be so popular that they will be able to circumvent the opposition parties banning together to curb AfD's influence. With each stabbing, rape, murder, fire...the support needle leans closer to AfD. Trying this late in the game to ban them is desperation. Posted by: Orson at August 05, 2026 12:24 PM (dIske) 180

"Mornin' Angle..." In Hot Fuzz, the joke is that the Sanford Citizen's lead reporter is an illiterate incompetent, but in real life I'm convinced that the J-schools teach their journalism majors to include "mistakes" and misspellings in every story, no matter how inconsequential. I've read multiple anecdotes or heard stories about how you can watch a local reporter write down the exact information, like a date or a name, check their notes to be sure that they wrote it down correctly, and it'll be horribly wrong by the time it gets published. If the facts, spelling and date for a local car show or art walk are presented accurately, you can be sure that they just cut/pasted the press release with no changes.

This is interesting. The artist is considered 'modern realistic'. That seems to mean recognizable but not natural. Easy to see it's Custer but the color choices and application is almost Impressionistic, especially in the skin tones and folds of the clothing. Looking at this one and others like his portrait of Trump (which is excellent), it feels like he painted over a photograph using his own style. Don't know if that is true, just an idea.

That battle didn't pop up out of nowhere, it had already been years and years of expanding and accelerating terrorism, and minor skirmishes weren't doing the job. Who knows. Maybe the whole thing was a big dumb fake and gay PsyOp to begin with, and they could get rid of Custer in the process as a bonus.

Custer
Daniel Sambo-Richter >Bilderpolitik, By Ralf Hartmann, 2009 In small part, "For centuries, the portrait of rulers and their military conveyed shared political ideas. Especially at the height of imperialism, thousands of portraits and monuments were commissioned to attune the collective community to those seemingly shared ideals, as embodied by individual figures of identification. A striking example is the portrait of the legendary American Civil War general Armstrong Custer, who became a national icon of white supremacy over the Sioux Indians following the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876. In Sambo-Richter’s work, his full-length portrait is still entirely indebted to those absolutist ruler portraits familiar especially from older European art." 🤬 Thanks Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 05, 2026 10:22 AM (NFX2v) 182

Black democrats - literally the most reliable voting bloc in the history of ever - refused to vote for him in the primary and absolutely will not vote for him in the general. That's a huge, materially significant difference. Posted by: Washington Nearsider: Gotterdammerung at August 05, 2026 10:22 AM (AdHga) 183

Communism is seductive. Do nothing, get free shit. What’s there not to love? Given the past 30-40 years of education in this country, it’s that much more deductive because two generations went through school being told it’s wonderful. Every day the media tells yuuutes it’s not their fault they’re poor because they eat DoorDash 3 meals a day. Instead it’s the fault of boomers and Jews and Elon and capitalism in general. And look here is Al Sayed who will come refute you from all this and make you rich.

I mean, who here didn't observe all the DOGE activities and think "Holy crap, am I the only person in this country *not* getting something from Uncle Same every month?!?" Why work hard and be honest while Somali clans are swanning around in designer clothes, jewelry and luxury vehicles?

BofA chairman Moynihan just said the bank spends $250 million per year on GLP-1 drugs for it's employees. At $5,000 per year per person, a fair estimate, that implies something like 50,000 people out of a total workforce of about 210,000 people.

Wolfus, how is the move to Hoosierland going?
Posted by: Bulg at August 05, 2026 *** Poorly. I'm not seeing any houses that I like in Terre Haute right now -- none I like that I can afford, anyway. (Someone at the end of the Tech Thread this morning called it "Terra Ho," and I like that.) Evansville remains a possibility, and it has some nice properties. I dread the idea, but I might have to move to an apartment up that way for six months or a year.

This June I was out with the Little Big Horn Associates and the Custer Battlefield Historical and Museum Association, doing that whole Custer thing. Though I didn't see the silly people stomping on a Stars and Stripes cavalry guidon or dancing around (in a national cemetery) among the death-site markers on Last Stand Hill, I did manage to get a front row seat at the 150th anniversary events on June 25. The 268 7th Cavalry soldiers, officers, and attached personnel who were killed during the fight or died of wounds were ignored by the U.S. government as much as possible, in favor of endless Indian speakers offering frequently nonsensical "facts" about Custer or his last fight plus one speaker's inane denunciation of the Masons and the Knights of Columbus. The government's unspoken premise seemed to be that Custer's (I suppose we won't see any "Confederate Victory Day" at Fredericksburg, etc.) However, renowned historian Paul Andrew Hutton ("The Undiscovered Country") did give a sensible speech, even mentioning Gen. Arthur St. Clair (whose 1791 defeat dwarfed that of Custer as an Indian victory) and pointing out that in sending out Custer, the U.S. Army was sending out its best.

This portrait is a quintessential example of why I did not become a portrait artist. The artist could have a photographer take Custer's picture in that stance and then embellish it in his painting to capture Custer's caricature.
What the artist did, by the looks of the painting, was to capture his face, and then outlined his cloak. Finishing it up with the standard stance. This is obvious by the low crotch and short legs which does not conform to biological standards. The crotch should be up into the cloak, which better represents biological norms. Otherwise, Custer had short legs. Ergo, he could not run away from the indigenous American Indians and was terminated. Posted by: John at August 05, 2026 01:41 PM (9NUKl) 292
Aw, come on, Bill Butcher! Your claim that,
"...in sending out Custer, the U.S. Army was sending out its best." There is so much disinformation about Armstrong Custer that we have no real understanding about who he was other than his goals were. What we do know is that Government and The Defense Department, being the bureaucrats that they are will send threatening, uppity goal seekers into the wilderness to die.

Sanders answered, “No, I am not. And I think that’s a dumb statement. On the other hand, he has a whole lot of followers, and there are a lot of things that he’s saying that are making sense to a lot of people. I think we have to get above cancel culture. When you’re doing radio, whatever they do, podcasts three hours a day, you say dumb things. I suspect if you go back over your career, there may be one or two things that you’ve said that you may have regretted. But I think what we have got to do is look at the totality of where people are coming from and go forward.” Phillip then asked, “So, when someone like James Carville says he doesn’t want to be in the same political party as Hasan Piker, which one are you going to take?” Sanders answered, “Well, that’s not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party, the party that I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party. But, look, what we are doing now is, you can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe has committed genocide? Do you want to be in a party with people who do that? Do you want to be in a party which has not stood up to the AI industry, because they got a lot of money from AI or from crypto? So you could pick whatever you want to pick. But I think we need a big tent. And I think people like Piker should be welcome into that, certainly.”Yes, Bernie Sanders, whose closest encounter with Judaism is the occasional Pastrami Sandwich at Katz's deli, is as is painfully evident eagerly test marketing new Zyklon C and D for Hamas. And Carville despite being portrayed as some sort of voice of moderation was one of the key button men for the Clinton crime family and helped inflict them on America which not coincidentally led us to Obama, Biden and the near violent ripping apart of our society that we've been enduring and may yet, Despite the coming of MAGA and Donald Trump might yet come apart at the seams. And speaking of all of the above, this happened yesterday. An armed man allegedly scouted President Trump’s California golf club before the commander in chief’s visit, and investigators say the arrest uncovered an illegal rifle, body armor and a weapons stash. Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, was charged in a federal criminal complaint with possessing an unregistered short-barreled rifle after his arrest Saturday at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles in Rancho Palos Verdes. . . He allegedly approached federal agents and falsely claimed he worked for the State Department and was assigned to a security detail.So what is this now the fifth or sixth attempt on President Trump's life, that we know of anyway. Of course we have the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk as well as the various attacks on ICE and Law Enforcement officers which of course is another central political tenet of the Democrats, the abolition of the aforementioned and erasure of our borders. Related to all of that, this madness is going on in my newish home state of Wisconsin. Yet in a city named for this Founding Father — Madison, Wisconsin — citizens have been harassed by roving bands of socialists, while city officials not only acquiesce but overtly support the seizure of property, restriction of free movement, and abuse of private businesses. The saga began on July 22, when four Madison police officers attempted to arrest Corey Ruiz, who was reportedly armed with a knife. A series of videos shows Ruiz resisting arrest and lunging at officers until one officer shot and killed him. According to police, Ruiz pulled out his knife and injured an officer before he was shot. . . Ruiz’s death sparked the typical leftist reaction: violence and threats of violence. All the necessary ingredients were present: the officers involved were white, and Ruiz was black (although five separate court records list him as “Caucasian,” which raises different questions) . . Leading candidate for Wisconsin governor and avowed “democratic” socialist Francesca Hong took to the streets hours after the death with a bullhorn to denounce the police.Of course this evil slag did that. If I were President Trump I'd invite the police officers to the White House and award them with some sort of medal for bravery and meritorious service. We're in a war for the soul and the future of this nation, our nation. It's us or them. Meanwhile, ho hum ho hum. Wildfires! No not climate change but yet another firebug who has to cause a manmade change of our climate to prove it exists. Either that or he's a wetback or a bum cooking a can of hobo stew. Nope, he's none of the above but you can bet who he votes for! A 37-year-old man was arrested Monday for allegedly starting the largest of the three devastating Spokane, Washington-area wildfires that are leaving some residents with nothing. Aaron Farinacci, a Spokane resident who has a prior manslaughter conviction, was booked on suspicion of first degree arson in connection with the Old Trails Fire and was being held on $1 million bond, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office said. Authorities began investigating Farinacci after a witness saw him kneeling near grass where the fire began, Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels told a press conference late Monday. . . “The individual we understand does have a criminal record,” Gov. Ferguson said. “It just takes a tragic situation, and makes it more heartbreaking to think that much of this damage could have been caused by an individual doing this on purpose. It adds to a really challenging situation.”Have a good day,

Most of the Kansas Election Results are in.
By and large, the slate of Republicans running for office are satisfactory. Some candidates I knew personally, and approved of, did not make it. An endorsement from Trump seems impossible to overcome. The write-in votes for minor offices have not been released yet. That is when you find out if your "friends" have written you into office.

Call me crazy but I'm optimistic about November.
Many on our side will Turnout like they've never done before for a midterm -- especially Non-College who outnumber College by two to one and historically have had low voting participation. Cheating will be limited to Deep Blue enclaves and won't flip seats. The D Senators who don't vote to censure Fauci will be pounded with it. There will be more revelations of Leftist chicanery. I expect Trump will hit Iran hard before Labor Day. They won't have oil revenue and will thus become irrelevant. By November it will less of an issue. Gas prices will be falling.

That’s another apparent fatal flaw in the system.
Background and loyalty checks. Under our current system, merely winning an election, (or just “winning” wink wink) the candidate has been “deemed” to have passed a background check. If tax returns are so important for Americans to gauge or politicians, a full candidate F.B.I. document dump before they throw their hat in the ring looms larger. Along with their prescription pharmaceutical profile. A lot of these people are seriously defective in one way or another.

And from the article linked in #5
"Law-enforcement activist Damon Jones, publisher of a Mount Vernon-centric newspaper called Black Westchester Magazine, called the latest incident another embarrassment for the community — the only city in the county where black residents make up a majority of the population. “I am embarrassed as a black law-enforcement officer to see the dysfunction in a city that has a black mayor, a majority of black city council, a majority black police department that we have to see continuing dysfunction and just foolery in an organization that should be so professional,” Jones, a 33-year veteran of the Westchester County Department of Correction, told The Post. Jennifer Lackard should have never been appointed to her leadership post, Jones railed, pointing out that her social-work background was insufficient to kickstart the Wellness Unit of the troubled police department. “Unfortunately, we see this with Democrats that they put people in positions — especially in law-enforcement positions — that they shouldn’t be there,” said Jones."

Asked why he didn't correct the record, Arday said: "Could I have ever guessed that somebody would literally comb through every single word I've ever said on that?

It’s also training everyone in the Middle East, both friends and enemies, to discount everything the US says publicly as insincere nonsense. Someone wrote up a list of the times Iran had been threatened with blowing up all their bridges and power plants - I think the count is up to 13, with the US backing off each time.

Seems there is good news and bad news in the D's Michigan senate primary race.
The good news is Dr. Allahu Akbar squeaked out a win and is only 19,000-ish votes up; if McMorrow hadn't split the now centrist lunatic left vote Stevens would have won thus blunting the communist DSA's momentum. I take this to mean there is nearly zero chance Dr. AA is going to pick up enough of the Stevens/McMorrow vote to beat Rogers, the Republican, in the general election. The bad news has to been seen from the communist insurgency perspective: The DSA most likely is going to take their recent major political successes as an indication that the winds of destiny are at their backs and that any loses are temporary setbacks. The Democrat party is a hollowed out geriatric day care center ready to collapse with not much pushing with the pushing from coming from the highly organized, youthful and ambitious DSA communist monsters. The DSA is the prairie fire envisioned by the 1960s Weather Underground. The DSA and their fevered communist revolution dreams are going to be a chronic threat for at least the next decade and worse if their Bolshevik claptrap becomes normalized.

Posted by: Ben Had at August 05, 2026 08:13 AM (3ZNGI) Fatalist bullies with a full nuclear weapons program underneath Pickaxe mountain that is ongoing and which we’re set to do nothing about. (Except pretend it’s not there after admitting it is) Trump’s most dangerous blind spot has always been his belief that every enemy ultimately wants a deal. He understands businessmen. He understands leverage, pressure and the desire to walk away with a win. But radical Islamist regimes and movements do not define winning the same way. For them, negotiations are just another battlefield: a way to gain time, divide opponents, secure concessions and survive until the balance of power changes. Iran wants a nuclear weapons program. No negotiations on Earth will stop them from getting one. Posted by: Tom Servo at August 05, 2026 08:22 AM (7WIKt) 170

I've heard a lot of loose talk that the Democrat Party is destroying itself in the ascendancy of its far Left. This is dangerous nonsense.
It's the bigger of the "two" Parties, and the oldest political Party in the world. People have a tribal affiliation to it, and even if they hadn't been raised from the cradle to hate and fear the GOP, that's a do-nothing, go-nowhere Party whose only platform is "tax breaks for our major donors." It can't attract anyone, and it's only draw for independents, the Right-wing base, and disillusioned Dems - Trump - will leave the scene forever in a couple years. They are the Party that's in deep shit, not the other way around. As of 2028, the Democrats will be in their strongest relative position in the prior 15 years, without regard to the midterms, where they will likely make some gains, not losses. And by then, they will have ceded control of the Party apparatus to the DSA. They're about to be the most threatening political force in American history. Whistle past that graveyard at your own peril... If you think the same old cucks in new red hats will thwart this menace, you're in for the shock of a lifetime.

Occasionally I'll engage with these sorts of people... You know Trump released the files after the Democrats sat on them for years right? And they named a bunch of leftwing pols, leftwing academics, and leftwing celebrities all currying favor from Epstein AFTER his arrest right? But but but not all the files! So you think there are other files but you don't care about the people listed in the files that are publicly available? Why aren't you demanding they be arrested or cancelled or hell why don't you stop paying to go to their movies?!? THAT ISN'T THE SAME!

And Israel doesn’t have the deep penetrators needed to go through 100 meters of granite, only the US does. More than one Israeli source with ties to the IDF believes that Iran already has a crude working weapon; at the very least a “dirty bomb” they could launch at Tel Aviv. Israel’s deterrence is not to hope they can stop it, but to promise to launch nukes back at Tehran if this happens. That’s the true endgame everyone wants to avoid.

radical transformation of the Democratic Party
--------- What is the Democrat Party establishment actually giving up during this "transformation"? Where is the ideological fault line? Support of Israel? The Democrat Party HATES Israel and has explicitly supported terrorists for 30 years. Saying the quiet part out loud might not be the loss everyone here seems to think it is. They are shifting the Overton Window all the way to the Far Left - now communism becomes just another thing some people believe. It's incredibly malignant and underhanded but you have to hand it to these people. Somewhere someone had a looong conversation - "we need a MAGA on our side" and realized they could do it with a "dangerous movement" rather than a single "dangerous person". It's wild to watch in real time. Posted by: ... at August 05, 2026 08:49 AM (sRo0+) 227

Aaron Farinacci is a psychotic psychopath and in my view, incapable of living in a free society. He clearly represents a danger to others and has taken everything from hundreds since his release from prison. He is an arsonist and a murderer, the later of which should have precluded his release into society and prevented the former. At this stage, the only appropriate punishment is to burn him at the stake so that he can get a taste of hell before he goes there. 'People' such as he have forfeited the right to breathe by their own actions. He is the spawn of Satan and needs to go home to visit daddy.

And how then the police demolished Antifa encampments and started arresting members...all for a short time until the mayor and antifa leaders came to an understanding?
Well, "abolish the police" would yield something like this. If you, as a normie, is robbed or raped they'd send a social worker to tell you it is your own fault while if someone who is connected was a victim of crime they'd send the men with the guns to deal with it. And the FNM would tell you this is all reasonable and fair. Posted by: 18-1 at August 05, 2026 09:12 AM (sKqQm) 294

Law Enforcement isn't about any kind of Justice. Its about Control of the general population.
Law Enforcement is made up of people—who have their own interests. Your average LEO also has allegiances to his other Leo, who also has their own interests; collectively they have their own interests—union, pensions, benefits, protection. The City Manager, the political layer within Law Enforcement and the city council determine, after engagement with the union, what the LEOs should focus on—all of these actors have their own self-interests. What you see on the streets is a swirling, volatile bowl of self-interests occasionally in alliance and often in conflict seeking to maximize their own interests. Notice that Public Safety, Duty and Honor have no representatives. Posted by: Community Notes at August 05, 2026 09:14 AM (PVBkQ) 303
>>Would not surprise me in the least if democrat capos are tweaking the results in Michigan's El-Sayed v. Stevens Senate race. They've probably determined that El-Sayed is just a bit too Commie/Islamist for 2026.
Maybe. Or maybe the fan boys in the media and polling completely overestimated the support for a radical communist even in a state with a very large Muslim population. They were confidently predicting a potential double digit smack down and he barely won. If you add up the votes for Haley and the other Dem candidate who dropped out of the race weeks ago they actually got more votes than El Sayed. I don't think everyone in the Democrat Party is sold on these commies taking over the party. When the announce they are coming for Schumer and Jeffries I don't think those two are onboard either.

Btw, a good hint as to how broken polling in general is in Texas now - a recent poll said that Abbott is only leading by 3 points in the Governor's race - and yet if you were to ask average people on the street, half of them don't even realize that the Governor is on the ballot this year, and 9 out of 10 couldn't tell you the Democrat candidates name.
A total non-campaign with a Dem placeholder candidate. This is the fourth time Abbot has run for Governor, he has always won with a margin between 57% and 63%. He will win with a vote in that range again. (And so will Paxton) Posted by: Tom Servo at August 05, 2026 09:20 AM (edUvp) 330

Well, "abolish the police" would yield something like this.

Election watchers on Election Day won’t stop that. Probably why the DOJ got a big win on mass mail in voting in the courts. As I said, the DOJ is doing a ton of things on election integrity and has been for a year and a half even if it doesn't get a lot of headlines. What NJ showed is that if a focus is put on forcing states to turn over their voter rolls, which is happening, a lot of crap comes spilling out. The Democrat lead in PA is now down to roughly 25,000 and dropping mainly because Scott Presler is working his ass off to exposed the voter rolls.

Morning, all, and thanks, J.J.
I think most of the Democratic old guard are done. They can be tormented like Schumer or leave on their own terms, like Pelosi, and not be involved in a political munity. But, from what I can gleam, the new breed does not plan on even her having "ideological peace." AI Overview: They are aggressively rewriting the party’s platform away from her brand of center-left incrementalism. In history books and active political debates of the new progressive movement, Pelosi will continue to be framed not just as a historic trailblazer, but as a symbol of the corporate status quo they are fighting to dismantle. Sort of an interesting substack article: Labor Politics, 'Thoughts on the limitations of DSA, the WFP, and our unions after Tuesday's historic election' Let's be honest: none of our organizations are anywhere close to being as deeply rooted in the working class as we need to (or aspire to) be, posted by Eric Blanc, June 2026 And also one of his side notes: "I just spent a fascinating week embedded in a multiracial, Trump-leaning mega-church in the Midwest; can’t wait to share with you all these stories and lessons."

Anyway, back to the article, in part: "Union leaders need to come to terms with the fact that backing old-guard politicians like Espaillat or Cuomo is no longer a risk-averse, pragmatic wager. Even on purely self-interested grounds, savvy union operators should start reading the room. With a possible Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez presidential run looming, the stakes are high."
I thought this also a little troubling: The Nation, 'Establishment Democrats’ Response to DSA’s Electoral Wins Should Be of Concern to Anyone Invested in the Future of Black Politics' Whatever happened to “big tent” politics?, Aug 3, 2026, by Anthony Conwright -- The Working Families Party seeks a robust welfare state & regulated capitalism to tame corporate power. It has slightly more of a coalition building approach w/mainstream and progressive Democrats, labor unions, and community organizing. The DSA seeks to transition away from capitalism, toward a socially owned economy. It's going all out with mass mobilization, political education, and working to build an independent working-class political identity. Whatever.

I've discovered tabletop games.
I'm debating spending way too much money on a multi-toolhead printer so I can print a quarter billion pieces of terrain for games I still don't have time to play, but at least I can feel like I'm making progress in while enough trees to reforest the Sahara print out while I'm dealing with either Day Job(tm) or insomnia.

>I've discovered tabletop games.
Fantasy, SF, or historical? This is kind of my jam. Feel free to ask questions. Allow me to recommend Age of Hannibal, a little indie game that has a brilliant terrain generation system. You have a deck of cards with terrain features on them. You split the deck between the two players. If you have more/better scout units in your force, you get more cards than your opponent. You then take turns laying the cards face down into zones on the table, each card adjacent to either your table edge or another of your cards. Flip them over, and place the appropriate terrain pieces in the zones. The practical effect is that the better your force's scouts, the more you can pick a field of battle advantageous to your force - represented by actually creating that field of battle with your cards.

It's almost become more difficult to find good, entertaining sources for cutting edge science info, mostly thanks to the enslopification of everything. Just tell me what's going on, you know? I don't need you to patronize me like I'm smarter than everyone i know because i watched a YouTube video, and i also don't need you acting like you're smarter than me because... you made a YouTube video. Just tell me about A Thing so i can watch it and think "well that's neat".
The annoying resonance between "private equity" channels and The Algorithm.... all these channels like Veritasium, Astrum, that one insufferable bald neckbeard who apparently has about eight thousand channels... It ought to be a nice, convenient little mechanism for some really good content, but instead it's just not worth the effort most of the time.

>>>SpongMonkeys hardest hit.
genius.com The Spongmonkeys are an Internet phenomenon, created by Joel Veitch, that crossed over into television in the form of Quiznos commercials. They appear to be a pair of graphically edited tarsiers with human mouths, and appear on the web at the rathergood.com website. These creatures float in the air in front of a hydrangea bush while singing a song called “We Like The Moon”. One of the Spongmonkeys plays a guitar, while the other sings. The name “spongmonkeys” originated on the B3ta website, where “spong” is a slang term for adding oversized eyes to an image. Posted by: m at August 05, 2026 05:38 AM (odBC9) 35

Good morning, Hordians. Slaving away at reference checking. I hope to end the day at 5000 of the 6900 needing to be looked at. With the ones so far, about 25% have PDFs of the full journal article available. The more recent the paper the more likely it is to have something. What gets me griped is that I used to have paper copies of most of the older references. But that was in the pre-scanning days and when I left the company I couldn't take them with me; they were a couple of file cabinets worth. Now they're gone, trashed, destroyed.

My Buick is a 2016, so it has Bluetooth and all that connectivity stuff. Plus GPS. I've never bothered with the former, and the one time I tried the latter I hated the small view of the area I was driving in, and had a hard time making it cancel. Saying "Stop" isn't good enough. And when I'm driving in a new area, I don't have time to stop and look up commands in the owner's manual.

"they've got a pepper bar" Posted by: cmeat at August 05, 2026 12:59 PM (Bep7s) Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - August 4, 2026 [Doof]![]() From Gritt Monster More misuse of cameras. Not Flock this time - somewhere even more deserving of privacy. Ambulance Worker Sues After Being Fired for Disabling Cameras That Filmed Patients Without Consent An EMT worker, who says she turned off cameras pointed at patients in the back of ambulances, has filed an $800,000 lawsuit – claiming she was fired for protecting the privacy of patients who were unaware they were being filmed. Brittany Martin, a former emergency medical technician for Metro West — which provides ambulance services across Portland, Oregon — filed a wrongful termination lawsuit in Multnomah County Circuit Court against her previous employer last month. According to emergency medical news outlet EMS1, Martin claims that the privately owned ambulance company began installing cameras in late 2025 or early 2026. However, patients were not informed that they were about to be video and audio recorded. Her lawsuit says she believed that these cameras in the patient compartments of ambulances violated Oregon law.Absolutely ridiculous! ----- Here's something you don't see every day! Watch a Monumental Iceberg in Greenland Do a Somersault Greenland, the world’s largest island, is also covered in one of the earth’s two ice sheets. The other cloaks Antarctica. Greenland’s encompasses around 80 percent of the nation’s land mass, spanning more than 650,000 square miles. *** On July 25, a mammoth iceberg literally made waves as it flipped over off the coast of Ilulissat, Greenland. A video taken from town went viral online, and AfarTV, which has a livestream camera set up near the entrance to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ilulissat Icefjord, captured the event in high definition. “Large icebergs can remain grounded or trapped near the mouth of the icefjord while they melt, fracture and become small enough to move into Disko Bay,” AfarTV says. “It is not known precisely when this particular iceberg originally separated from the glacier.” ----- That's a REALLY old bridge! The Oldest Bridge in the U.S. Was Built Before We Were a Country ![]() The oldest bridge in the U.S. is the Frankford Avenue Bridge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Built in 1697, it has remained in continuous use for more than three centuries, making it the oldest surviving roadway bridge in the United States. Long before America became an independent country, this durable stone crossing helped people travel along one of the colonies' most important roads. Its remarkable longevity isn't just about age. The bridge continues to carry traffic today, connecting the past with the present while showing how thoughtful construction can stand the test of time.More old-ass bridges listed at the link. ----- Good ol' boys know how to get stuff done!

Greenland’s encompasses around 80 percent of the nation’s land mass, spanning more than 650,000 square miles. But it’s also melting at an accelerating rate due to climate change, losing an annual average of 261 gigatonnes—one gigatonne is equivalent to 2.2 trillion pounds—contributing to rising sea levels that impact the rest of the world.

That Falcon 9 2nd stage is going to hit da Moon this morning, time window still around 2:35AM EDT. However, the trajectory has changed to put the estimated impact point just behind the western limb. So, impact point will not be visible from Erf. The dust plume may still be, but not with the nekkid eye, nor binoculars, not anything but a pretty large telescope. Still possible for amateur levels of "big" maybe, but the big pro boys will be watching.

if this is a movie thread, I watched "Soulm8te" a few nights ago. They were trying to do a "Basic Instinct" or "Fatal Attraction" in the m3gan universe. Yes Blumhouse was trying to expand m3gan into an IP. Problem was that m3gan 2 was a deuce at the box office, so Soulm8te ended up not releasing in January like they planned. And then Obsession came out. So Soulm8te got shifted to video-only this week. Anyway, Soulm8te turns out not to be terrible. It is still bad, but maybe just "Maid Droid Origins" bad. Higher budget and marginally better dialog, but a worse script honestly. Also-honestly "Companion" was worse overall in the killer-fembot genre.

Some of you’ns were talking about upgrading iPhone on the previous thread. Mine is getting long in the tooth. I can’t bring myself to pay $800+ for a damn phone. So I’m thinking a good used one.
The current iPhone is a 6 Pro or whatever. I actually bought it through WalMart if not at WalMart. Battery has lasted well for several years now. I’m a little miffed at how long charge cables last, or don’t last. They just sort of die, or become intermittent. It starts to become an annoyance if not expensive. I did notice convenience stores want $25 for a charge cord. Are more modern iPhones cordless charging? How well does that work? Posted by: Common Tater at August 04, 2026 10:27 PM (QC8l5) 64

Posted by: Ex Rex Reeder That cemetery looks like a really perpetual job. Like painting the Mackinac Bridge; when you're done, it's time to start over. Somebody put me some knowledge: I'm used to seeing headstone-and-footstone type graves, with grass growing over them. What's the purpose of that frame-and-rock-garden thing? I'm guessing it's not sacrilegious to mow over the deceased if it's okay to hose them down with weed killer..... Posted by: mikeski at August 04, 2026 10:32 PM (VHUov) 78

Very well. Lay the phone on a flat disc (the MagSafe charger) and it charges inductively. Some cars have flat spaces for phones too now. And yeah, getting rid of the charging cable is pretty much the last necessary cable to go.

Posted by: Common Tater I just upgraded to an iphone 17 for free, basically. They charge me $35/mo for it and credit my account $35/mo. Don't know why. My previous device was so old it had vacuum tubes in it. You can charge it the normal way with a cord or, like we do, with a magnetic wireless charging pad. It's a bit slower charging than a dedicated cord but since I use the pad during the night, I don't care. Posted by: Tonypete at August 04, 2026 10:33 PM (yz7bn) 83

The grave cleaner reminds me of my sister - she used to do a lot of gravestone rubbing in the 70's and 80's. She once gave me a rubbing of the Suzanna Jayne headstone from Marblehead MA. I had it restored a few years ago and it's in my living room. There's a ton of symbolism going on in it.
The stone itself has been closed off to rubbing for decades due to vandalism. Some asshole chipped off the moon in her right hand before mine got rubbed. Here's a pic: https://tinyurl.com/y746p3vs I think the moon in that pic was added after the fact. I've seen my sister's rubbing... the moon is smaller and recognizable.

Locked means it is locked to a specific carrier. Unlocked means it can be used with any carrier. Only buy locked if you are getting a great deal with that carrier and are sure it will last. Some phones (perhaps all nowadays, but dont quote me on that) can be unlocked after the contract is up. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at August 04, 2026 10:45 PM (kYmoU) 132

I think my hometown was an early adopter of Flock or equivalent. Maybe some juicy fed dollars or something. Has a healthy criminal element and drugs, murder, the usual, so a good candidate for such things.
It’s just something I inferred from the news reports. For some years they would catch these bad guys in their cars or whatever, and it was always “how the hell did they do that”. License plate readers, cameras and some coordination was the only thing that made any sense to me. Posted by: Common Tater at August 04, 2026 10:46 PM (QC8l5) 134

Posted by: Common Tater ======= Locked phones can only be used on the carrier that locked it. New phones are offered as a discount to get new customers in and sometimes are returned or barely used for whatever reason--so they are locked to that network. Unlocked phones cost more but theoretically can be used on any compatible carrier. But used 'unlocked' phones often come with issues--sometimes compatibility, sometimes junk software from the previous carrier, and so on. New unlocked phones can be used on any network but you usually pay a premium if it is a good phone. Posted by: whig at August 04, 2026 10:48 PM (E4rtv) 141
The other thing I discovered is that there is no API available that captures a films credit roll as it appeared in the movie, you can get cast and crew information, sometimes it's complete, but for big effects heavy films they don't capture all of the various animators and other esoteric jobs and roles.

Posted by: mindful webworker - unsolicited testimonial at August 04, 2026 10:49 PM (0poB+) - - - - - - - - - Recently, I've noticed several sites using something called "AdShield". If you somehow block an ad server (Private/Incognito mode tends to do that), it does a MASSIVE # of calls to a bunch of subsites on some randomly-named server to try and pull in AdSense or whatever. And of course, the scripts all use a bunch of encoding/decoding and EXEC calls, much like malware does. I've ended up just plain blocking ALL JavaScript on a few misbehaving servers, from how bad they react. Posted by: Another Anon at August 04, 2026 11:00 PM (4h45B) 180

I use an app called StopTheScript. I have it set to block all off-site javascript from running. If a site needs it, I can turn javascript back on, on a per-site basis. It costs $6, but its well worth it. Effective and easy to use, and makes me feel a lot safer following links.

Random Dave,
Praying for that job you want, honey. Sometimes the best things in life don't come easy. Like the guy I married who broke up with me (for no reason I always state) three times before he realized I was the one. Or my 30hr labor with 10lb son and c-section. Or losing a house to a nitwit attorney owner who would not budge on roof repair/furnace and AC replacement costs. The only time I shed a tear or two in the long distance move and flying twice to meet with the realtor purgatory. We went on to find a better home and here we are. Patience is not me, so am not giving advice. All signs point to GOOD! Have faith! Praying for this for you. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 04, 2026 11:03 PM (hzuYO) 188

I keep Chrome and Firefox around for some websites that insist on them. Chromium as a degoogled Chrome, and Vivaldi. Phone has Chrome because preinstalled but Brave on it as well as the primary. ios phones by Apple, you have Safari (or various other skins (Brave, Vivaldi, whatever) over safari code) except perhaps for Chrome which uses its own code I've been told.

A weird thing happened today as my dude was fiddling with his car thing (I'm so detailed) he hooks his cell music to. The sound was fading for the guitarist and he can't drive in silence. He said that oddly it hooked to a tantrum our eldest granddaughter had on the front porch (we have cameras) a year ago. Her little voice clearly, out of the ether, said, "This is my car and I am leaving!" It was pure accident we saw her performance as she's never had a tantrum and that one was funny. She had an imaginary fight with someone and left with her backpack and I'd told her to come inside off the porch. She's crazy.

I'm no computer expert (although that doesn't matter in today's world)...but the only way we are all getting the "before you go" pop-up is because someone hacked the back end of the site. The hacker either exploited any plug-ins running or the platform, itself. They inserted hidden script into the source code.
And, while for us, it's an inconvenience, it may be a bit more egregious for ACE. He should probably run a server security scan, update the plug-ins, and definitely change admin passwords. Posted by: Orson at August 04, 2026 11:13 PM (dIske) 210

Possible, but probably not. The way adservers (usually) work is that you (or in this case, Ace or Pixy) put code in the web page(s) that tells browsers to load javascript or other files from somewhere else. So, the adserver pays Ace (second party) $x (probably per visitorfirst party) to insert this code; then the adserver (third party) sells ads to whoever is willing to pay, and that fourth party provides the ad files. If the adserver isnt careful, the ad files can be malicious. But it wont hurt the server, only the browser. The server never sees the files. Theyre sent directly to the browser.

When you look at the Younger Dryas period which I've become fascinated with, the Greenland ice core data for global temperatures, you realize just how silly this modern Anthropogenic climate change is.
The Younger Dryas was climate change. Big Time shore 'nuff, happening in a geological instant. And humans had fuck all to do with it.

POPUPS ARE EASY TO FIX IN CHROME. 1- Click that funny thing (possibly a lock, possibly two dashes with circles) to the immediate left of the address up there. See where it says acecomments.mu.nu/?and then a bunch of numbers? Right to the left there's a funny thing. Click it. 2- A menu comes up. Click the Site settings gear (probably at the bottom). 3- In the big ol' Permissions box that comes up, look for JavaScript. There's a little down-arrow next to it. Click it. Select Block. That did it for me. Three easy steps. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at August 04, 2026 11:22 PM (mmrXZ) 236

Greenland’s encompasses around 80 percent of the nation’s land mass, spanning more than 650,000 square miles. But it’s also melting at an accelerating rate due to climate change, losing an annual average of 261 gigatonnes—one gigatonne is equivalent to 2.2 trillion pounds—contributing to rising sea levels that impact the rest of the world.
And yet, it hasn't happened. This has been a prediction for over 50 years now (or whenever global warming became the thing, instead of global cooling). In some parts of the world, the landmass is sinking because people insist on building up on land that isn't designed to be built on. That has nothing to do with alleged melting ice caps.

Switched to Brave long ago when the list of websites Firefox couldn't display correctly got longer than the number of sites Brave couldn't do.
There are a couple that I still need Firefox for. Can't pay my water bill with Brave. But as of today Brave (Linux version) is vastly betterer. I had noscript on Firefox to make it tolerable and the Brave adblock works well enough that I haven't even looked for a noscript or script monkey equivalent for Brave.

Joey Ramone wrote Beat On The Brat in response to the children in his apartment building in Forest Hills where he grew up.

You know I love you Doofy but that sounds a bit precious to me. Everyone is free to do themselves, but installing a browser is like 40 seconds of work? Managing a separate browser for one site is not particularly demanding, not when that one site provides a lot of entertainment. It's not like you're doing it for a fly by night site or having to trust it's gonna be worth it. You know it's worth it because it's backed by a couple decades of great content. Granted you may have reasons I don't understand but at the moment I don't understand.

Over the very long term, Erf oscillates between so-called greenhouse and icehouse states. An icehouse means polar ice caps. Greenhouse has no ice caps. We have been in an icehouse state for the last few million years. The last greenhouse state ended about 34 million years ago. Sea levels were much, much higher. Antarctica has been at the south pole for a long time, and during the last greenhouse state, the climate there was sub-tropical, even down to the pole. What's fascinating is life, both plant and animal, adapted well to the polar day and night cycles. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 04, 2026 11:46 PM (w6EFb) 286

But I have had the blitz of disgusting ads happen to me on other sites, sites that had few if any ads normally. It seems as if I had picked up some nonfatal phone virus. Every time, I would get off the website, close all tabs and app windows, clear all my history on the browser, then go into the inner phone settings and clear the browser cache there. To be extra safe, a few times I rebooted the phone. That always worked for me, though YMMV.

For a long time, YouTube seemed to think I was a middle-aged black woman with incontinence issues. Fortunately the incontinence has gone away, but now I have a pet. I never really understood, either, why, after skipping an ad, that same ad will come up unskippable a few ad blocks later. Do they think Ill suddenly become interested in this product if forced to watch the ad? Thats not even possible: I have a mute button and a phone to take my attention away from the television for that 30-60 seconds. YouTube ads are stuck in the pre-Internet broadcast television era.

Well, I got around the corner with my wall cladding adventure. Finished the east wall, hung one panel on the north wall. Had to rejigger my hoisting apparatus from "right handed" to "left handed". Will keep it that way for maybe 2 more panels, and then switch back.
Also got two more brake drums turned. May as well continue that, too, as long as I have drums to turn. The machine makes a pass automatically, and then the carriage stops moving when it hits the limit switch. So managing it fits in well with doing other work in the same room.

>> but the change in scale on the X-axis is very jarring.
That also obscures an Interesting Thing that happened about 1 million years ago . Note the Pleistocene is where we settled in a hard Icehouse state. Climate oscillates between glacial and interglacial periods. You'll see temperature is an oscillation imposed on a much longer long term trend. Those oscillations are Milankovitch cycles afoot. Now, before that, the cooling/warmer cycle, which became glacial/interflacia was primarily a 40K year cycle. The oscillation of the earth's axial tilt (obliquity) was the main driver. But about 1 million years ago mid-Pleistocene, that shifted to a 100K cycle of more intense swings. That 100K period is the main harmonic of the earth's eccentricity cycle. The reason for this is still unknown -- several theories, but I don't know if they've ever decided on one. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 12:28 AM (w6EFb) 341
When I had my surgery they promised me a private room. I woke up that evening instead sharing a room with a guy in his 30's or 40's who had cartoons on the TV the entire night at full blast. I was pretty doped up but I remember.
Brit Lass had a word with the head nurse the next day and got me moved to a private room - what can I say, the woman has a way with words, and when she looks at you a certain way, you tend to do the thing she asks you to do. Anyway... the punchline is at some point either in the 24 hours before, during or after my stay with him, the guy they put me in with tried to attack a nurse with something sharp. He was a known "crazy". Thank you, Our Lady of What the Fucking Fuck Hospital! Posted by: ... at August 05, 2026 12:31 AM (vE0+H) 342

Note the Younger Dryas ended the Pleistocene. And the current (so far short) epoch is dubbed the Holocene. Now, question is, is this really a new epoch or just a little interglacial burp. On the Milkanovitch cycle front, we're on a leg of decreasing obliquity and decreasing eccentricity, a combination which means *cooling*.

"Self-harm" is a form of attention-seeking, IMO.
Cutting, for example. Some people are just FUBAR these days! Yes, I may seem unsympathetic, but that's not exactly true. We all have our problems, and some have learned to *deal* better than others.

Oh yes, I've been following that and some of his buddies on that for a while. However, I do not think that could happen. I mean, if it did, we're talking extinction level event stuff. If that happened as recently as they think, well we wouldn't be here today. Second, the physics. The Erf is pretty much settled into rotation about it's maximum moment of inertia (this minimizes energy per angular momentum, the lowest energy state). Any rotating elastic body that can dissipate energy will settle into this maximum inertia state. Now, ignore the core and just consider the moments of inertia of the crust and mantle together. Even that is pretty close to the current north pole. It's a bit different, but not all that much. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 02:28 AM (w6EFb) 414

I am heartsick. I found a listing for a dog who has to be mu dogs' brother, turned into the Anchorage Animal Control, and I need, absolutely to collect him, but DH says no, two dogs are enough. This ache has absolutely to do with being barren, not producing any children of my own, but I really feel that the puppies should be together again. It is painful in a deep and powerful way.
DH is correct. We really should not be collecting more dogs. But it hurts. I am a woman, I guess, and things affect me as they would not if I were a man. Sucks donkey balls. Posted by: tcn in AK at August 05, 2026 02:31 AM (bEblE) 417
I've looked at some of there pole flipping models. Well best explain it to make sure. The rotational axis of the earth doesn't change in free space. It's just the crust and mantle shift. This is just extreme polar wander. Anyway, near as I can tell they just model that by a giving a strong kick (like a strong torque) to the mantle/crust, assuming it decouples from the core. Now, where the hell would such a heap big torque come from to do that? And they don't model the inertia of the atmosphere or the oceans, really, just give the crust/mantle a big kick, and then look at what the atmosphere and oceans would do getting dragged along. Something like that would be a dino killing asteroid extinction level event. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 02:33 AM (w6EFb) 418

There are things with that ECDO stuff that they're on to. For example, abyssal ocean heating. That's not surface heating, as the "mainstream" climate bunch like to thing. That's likely coming from the earth itself, some upwelling of heat from inside. And there is fascinating and poorly understood link between the earth's magnetic field, and it how it responds to changes in the mass distributions over the glacial cycles and all that. For example, see the Gothenburg geomagnetic excursion. That happened right along with the Younger Dryas. Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at August 05, 2026 02:59 AM (w6EFb) 426

Goddammed Chicoms lie about this shit for some reason. They claimed the upper stage returned to earth and burned up. But they lied about. They had identified the object and predicted it would collide, but weren't sure of what it was, other than some piece of manmade hardware. They finally figured it out it was the Chicom upper stage.

My boys always shared a room. It wasn’t pretty sometimes. But occasionally even they got tired of the piles and took care of it.

She has more clothes than she needs, clearly, so doing laundry can stretch out for a loooonnnggg time. We packed a huge box of books to donate, I threw out a ton of stuffed animals, kept a few special ones, threw out 8 billion markers and colored pencils. She still has a ton, even after the purge. She has her own attached bathroom - lots of 1/2 empty lotion and potion bottles strewn across everywhere. Gone. She was suddenly inspired to organize her make up drawer before that disappeared off the counter and is now folding laundry. Her big sisters warned her - if you see mama coming with black trash bags, she is not playing.

I was reading the post about the Hawaiian Democratic congressional candidate who had a meltdown when someone asked him to turn his music down, and started thinking.
Is it just my imagination, or is the Democratic Party putting forward more absolute loons at one time, at all levels of government, than ever before during this election cycle? In the interest of truth in labeling, I believe the donks should be compelled to accept the following coat of arms, which I have taken the liberty of describing using heraldic language: Two butterfly nets in saltire, surmounted by a savage statant affronté in a straitjacket, on the dexter a cuckoo bird close guardant, on the sinister a dodo bird close guardant. The "savage" in heraldry, incidentally, is typically depicted as a naked, bearded human figure, covered in hair or leaves. Perfect. Posted by: Paco at August 04, 2026 08:36 PM (2L+MU) 83

After their slave revolt, Haiti’s founder ordered the killing of all white people on the island. Soldiers went house to house killing thousands including women and children.
They took full control, purged the population they blamed, and turned the richest colony in the Caribbean into the poorest and most dysfunctional country in the Western Hemisphere. Today, their descendants demand entry into the West they fought to escape, refuse to return to the mess they and their ancestors created, and are for some reason strongly convinced that borders are racist. _Cheers Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at August 04, 2026 08:45 PM (79aIp) 100

Posted by: polynikes at August 04, 2026 09:01 PM (KC5Lt) actually those facts are well known. The ones that aren't listed here are the Leclerc expedition that sought to re-enslave Haiti after the French Republic declared them free, and the genocidal acts by the Leclerc expedition carried out, including murdering every native troop the French had under their control as the first act of depopulating the island prior to importing new slaves. This explanation does not include the harsh forced repayment for each "slave freed" when the Leclerc expedition fled from the island, and it does not discuss the severe damage forced currency conversions from US banks to repay loans foisted on Haiti's economy. I've known some Haitians, and upper class ones, not the sorts that live in Cite Soleil - a friend of mine had contact there and hated it. Haiti is a terrible place, and it is not that way due to some inherent fault of the Haitians. They had lots of help in degradation Posted by: Kindltot at August 04, 2026 09:15 PM (rbvCR) 134

Hearing the women's team already declined.
Clay Travis, the conservative media personality and founder of OutKick, has officially offered $10 million for a head-to-head "battle of the sexes" basketball game between the reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and a boys' high school state championship team of his choice. Travis announced on Monday, August 3rd, that he is putting up $10 million. If the Las Vegas Aces win, they receive the money (which equates to nearly a third of their estimated $33 million annual revenue). If the high school boys win, the $10 million will be distributed among their team members. The proposed matchup would be broadcast on pay-per-view. Travis states that all profits generated from the broadcast would be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation to support families of fallen soldiers and first responders. Travis stated that the challenge is intended to highlight physical differences in sports. https://tinyurl.com/4wx76jx5 Posted by: rickb223 at August 04, 2026 09:33 PM (0z72U) 154

Posted by: Ben Had There are ways to set up private networks for monitoring but you must have the system air gapped so you cannot access the internet with the private network and its vital machines at all. We did this for a long time until suddenly everything had to be connected to the net so that it could accessed by everyone across the globe. Because it is cheaper and easier to do that than the harder way of protecting those machines.

Invasion of the Yang Poon Clan.
Posted by: Braenyard The fact that the cheap ass crap electronics for the internet of things comes from Chicoms prescrewed as far as security. Most are linux derived OS of some sort with default passwords often blank ones or 123456 and user accounts defaulting as admin with all privileges. No security setup, no hardening, just put on the internet and show up on the network for manipulation intentional or by hackers. To hard for the people running them to change passwords and limit user accounts, let alone hardening them. With AI agents, this sort of hacking becomes a trivial Q/A with an AI chatbot and likely it can find all it needs of the sloppy IT managers of credentials, passwords in the clear, and user accounts, along with open ports to enter the systems.

Scotland Yard, of course, is the UK's national police force. So the fake DEI "professor" -- let's say he's a "perfesser" -- is playing the race card with gusto. But it's not working. So he's playing the "autism" card now, too. See, he's autistic, that's why he committed plagiarism throughout his entire career. I don't know if you guys know this, but autism makes people less detail-oriented. #Science! OMG, "Perfesser," that's wonderful. "My autism makes me learn through mimicry, aka plagiarism." Wonderful. Wonderful! Charity fundraisers often force people to sign NDAs so that no one knows where the money came from, or, where it's going to. (No one ever received these alleged funds, but I guess that's covered by the NDA.) And his confabulations aren't done yet! Anne Applebaum has a suspicion that Perfesser's career was orchestrated by Donald Trump and the "far right" Spanish party Vox. In the New York Times' cover-up coverage, they wait until the 19th paragraph to report, oh by the way, yes the Perfesser clearly plagiarized. Not that that matters. Trivial detail!

The NY Times quotes Jason Arday about a "dark arts" campaign against him, gives a long backstory, smears the person who first reported the scandal, and only then, in the nineteenth paragraph, mentions that, yes, dozens of passages in his thesis appear to be plagiarized.
So he uses the term "dark arts" in a negative fashion? Sounds like embedded racism, or whatever the term the leftists use is. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at August 04, 2026 06:51 PM (ExV1e) 22

Gilligan's Island was a big part of my childhood. The show originally ran from '64 to '67, three seasons, but they ran it in the afternoon's after school back in the '70s all the time. That and all the classics, I Dream of Jeannie, etc, etc. I surprised my parents one time by singing the entire Gilligan's Island intro theme, just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip....

Tan's own messages, quoted in the motion: >"Just like last time, bring some parts you worked on" >"mlb, battery, shields type of stuff is interesting" OpenAI recruiter, quoted: "No, you won't sign anything at the exit interview. If they do ask you to sign anything, let me know asap." APPLE TOLD FEDERAL JUDGE: >"OpenAI knows its misappropriation is wrong and has tried to conceal it." >"This is not a case of 'mere hiring'... it is a case of repeated instances of deliberate theft."

At some point they did figure out where they were, although I dont know if it was explicit or implied. They knew when a particular satellite was overhead, for example. there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.Sherlock Holmes Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at August 04, 2026 07:14 PM (kYmoU) 100

It proves that what we've been saying for ten years is true, but we know it can't be true, therefore, this Deep Thinker postulates an ass-pull conspiracy theory that the right must be "orchestrating" the invasion. Wow, so intellectual. A fact you don't like appears so you go full Marjorie Trailer-Queen. As I am writing this, much is still not known about the 60,000-odd people who swam from Morocco to Ceuta last week. But we do know that many of them saw social-media posts encouraging them to swim to Ceuta and, perhaps, to thereby precipitate a crisis. Ceuta has been a Spanish city since the 16th century, but it is not part of mainland Spain. Nor is it possible to cross from Ceuta to mainland Spain, and therefore into the Schengen Area, the European Union's free-movement zone, without crossing a checkpoint. Illegal immigrants cannot travel from Ceuta to mainland Spain at all.After the jump is video allegedly showing "migrants" boarding a plane to fly to Spain. But the conspiracy theorist Anne Applebaum insists this is all impossible. Wait, she didn't say that did she? She hinted it was impossible without actually committing herself to that. She's hinting that the righties did this? No, it's leftwing NGOs. They're on video helping the invaders. Yes that's why Biden let 9-20 million illegals flood into our country, too. They illegals put themselves in danger so what can you do besides let them in, thus encouraging the next waves of dangerous border-rushing. . This is when the photographs and videos began to circulate. Among those promoting them were senior members of the Trump administration, and senior leaders of the European far right.Oh and we're wrong to publicize a major international incident because this bitch's socialist Davos pals haven't worked out their cover story yet. Once again: Access to Ceuta does not give anyone automatic access to the rest of Europe.There she goes again -- she says it doesn't grant "automatic" access, and wants you to infer from that that it doesn't grant access at all. The Spanish Supreme Court ruled you cannot eject illegal aliens who come by sea. Therefore these people are due asylum. A checkpoint is no barrier if the officials wave you through it, Anne. You know that, don't you? ... It remains unclear who created the viral posts that encouraged the would-be migrants to believe that they could get to Europe from Ceuta.There she goes again, hinting her conspiracy theory that JD Vance and Stephen Miller must have orchestrated this to make her traitorous transnational political cult look bad. But those who want to weaken the Spanish government, boost the European far right, and create turmoil inside the EU lost little time in promoting the photographs as soon as they arrived. ... The Trump administration, which has also questioned Britain's control of the Falkland Islands and Denmark's control of Greenland, might be interested in the same thing. Recently, a congressional report described the cities as "under Spanish administration," rather than a part of Spain. Trump himself has reasons to be pleased with Morocco, which has joined his Board of Peace and named a highway in his honor. He also has reasons to dislike Sánchez, who refused to let the U.S. use Spanish military bases for Trump's war in Iran and says he will not, like the rest of NATO, raise his country's defense spending to 5 percent of its GDP.So there you go: She is pushing this conspiracy theory in Steven Jobs' widow's vanity magazine. Tell me, is there any alternative explanation besides the convoluted Trump Did It To Embarrass the Spanish Socialists ones, Anne? I know you're a deep thinker so surely you have another theory? Oh, the anti-immigrant Spanish right must have done it. ... Readers can be forgiven for feeling a strong sense of déjà vu. For more than a decade now, European and indeed American politicians have known that real, fake, enhanced, or context-free pictures of migrants jumping fences will immediately create a wave reaction.Oh, these videos are cheapfakes, huh? Military rhetoric will be used--attack or invasion--and, to quote Vance, "radical left-wing globalist policies" will be blamed. Hardly anyone will ask why it is that so many people are so desperate to move that they will risk their lives. Few will mourn the dead.I don't care why they're coming, Anne. Fuck you. She claims that all of the illegals have already gone home "voluntarily." She says this because a socialist, Pedro Sanchez, says it, and of course all statements made by leftists are self-verifying. Don't bother looking at the actual videos showing the invaders still present and howling in the streets. Those are cheapfakes! Nick shirley

Closer to home:
Asked whether it worried him that Donald J. Trump has been talking as recently as yesterday about bringing back his so-called "anti-weaponization fund" — money meant to compensate people he claims were unfairly investigated — and finding some way to pay people out of it, Texas Sen. John Cornyn didn't even pretend the GOP had a plan. He copped to it outright: there's nothing they can do to stop the President once he's decided he likes something, weaponization fund included. His consolation prize was that the fund is dead — for now — which is doing a lot of work in a statement that otherwise amounts to ‘he does what he wants, and we just watch.’ Posted by: AoSHQ News You Can Use Bureau at August 04, 2026 05:57 PM (0sNs1) 17

Instead, far-right and MAGA politicians, influencers, and podcasters will immediately use the most divisive language possible in order to make voters as angry as possible, as fast as possible, regardless of what actually happened. Almost everyone else will be intimidated by their fury. As it turns out, it's harder to stop the wave of anger than it is to stop the migrants themselves.

This lying cunt bitch has no idea of the geography of the region. She thinks Ceuta is an island or otherwise something you need to swim to. None of these migrant cockroaches “swam” to Ceuta. Ceuta is literally on the same land as Morocco. The invaders walked there from Morocco, or more rather were bused there. The ‘swimming’ was merely walking out into the sea for about 50 feet to get around a fence. Posted by: Elric the Blade at August 04, 2026 05:58 PM (yTXpW) 23

they want to end schengen? jesus christ these people are destructive. AFD or le FN in power can easily tear the European project apart.
That's the goal of Israel, usa and Morocco, break the eu. Drop the act, so many spaniards were ecstatic about the 70 deaths, the deus vult larp and this thread with the dude wanting 20 soldiers stationed. And let's not forget the language adopted, an "attack" they called it. An insult to actual people under attack. Far right parties are taking over the media now and are spreading lies and using fake news to generate hate. It’s part of the plan to attack Pedro Sanchez and take the government from him. This whole thing is an utterly worthless distraction that exacerbates a truely non issue once you have actually studied the so called "Immigration Crisis." It's a Western Zionist conservative think tank proposed plan enacted by Abraham Accords partners CIA/Mossad and Moroccan Government to punish Spain for being outspoken against Israel and refusing use of their military bases against Iran. In short, creating a geopolitical nightmare by using human beings as a battering ram.

The beauty of the english language is you can just throw "the fuck" almost anywhere and it works. After "what" or "how", between "get" and "out". Lots of place. A universal adjective/adverb. Older more mature languages like Spanish combine too many words into just the action verb for efficiency and there's not a great place to shove spicey interjections. Oh well.

Until this story, I had never heard of Ceuta. We all know the Rock of Gibraltar on the Spanish side, but not much is ever mentioned about what is just across the strait.
How wide is the Strait of Gibraltar, anyway? If a ferry can make it in an hour, and that's probably no speedboat, it's got to be a bit wider than an average person can reasonably swim. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 04, 2026 06:11 PM (wzUl9) 60

Ms. A. Applebaum:
"The Trump administration, which has also questioned Britain's control of the Falkland Islands and Denmark's control of Greenland, might be interested in the same thing. Recently, a congressional report described the cities as "under Spanish administration," rather than a part of Spain. Trump himself has reasons to be pleased with Morocco, which has joined his Board of Peace and named a highway in his honor. He also has reasons to dislike Sánchez, who refused to let the U.S. use Spanish military bases for Trump's war in Iran and says he will not, like the rest of NATO, raise his country's defense spending to 5 percent of its GDP." ====== So much ... there. DJT questioned the UK's ABILITY to control the Falklands. He didn't question the UK's right of ownership. The same for Denmark's ABILITY to defend Greenland from foreign invasion. Being "pleased with Morocco" isn't an unusual thing for a US president. The US has a long-standing, friendly relationship with Morocco (IIRC, Morocco was one of the first countries to recognize US independence from Britain).

Yes, regular citizens can own guns in Spain, but the laws are among the strictest in Europe and ownership is heavily regulated for specific purposes like hunting, sport shooting, or professional security. While concealed carry for self-defense is theoretically possible, it is extremely rare and granted only to individuals who can prove they are at genuine risk of attack.

Yes, regular citizens can own guns in Spain, but the laws are among the strictest in Europe and ownership is heavily regulated for specific purposes like hunting, sport shooting, or professional security. While concealed carry for self-defense is theoretically possible, it is extremely rare and granted only to individuals who can prove they are at genuine risk of attack.

If these muzzies can not make Morocco a paradise, how are they going to help the Spanish? FUCKFUCKFUCK migration. They need to learn to fix their society, or suffer under it.

I guess the old divide between an artist's private life and his work comes into play with Polanski. Like Bill Cosby, he did good work, some of it classic, but his private life was horrifying. We should enjoy the work and condemn the rest.

A smaller amount of deeper, saltier and therefore denser waters continually flow westwards (the Mediterranean outflow), while a larger amount of surface waters with lower salinity and density continually flow eastwards (the Mediterranean inflow).

Ms. A. Applebaum:
"Instead, far-right and MAGA politicians, influencers, and podcasters will immediately use the most divisive language possible in order to make voters as angry as possible, as fast as possible, regardless of what actually happened. Almost everyone else will be intimidated by their fury. As it turns out, it's harder to stop the wave of anger than it is to stop the migrants themselves." First, Ace's rejoinder was short and sweet, and on target. The use of the word "divisive" is an indicator of Leftist reaction to an attack on their commie narrative (and, yes, I am well aware of Applebaum's foreign policy "cred"). So the name calling, the finger-wagging, the "hate" (always from the Right, never the Left) are fully employed by an accredited member of the Washington Establishment against their enemies. Not the terrorists, mind you, but people who uphold the rights and obligations of US citizenship. Posted by: mrp at August 04, 2026 06:36 PM (rj6Yv) 136

But, come to think of it, it's becoming more and more clear that the "experts" who diagnosed Europe's ills that led to WWII were absolutely wrong and that all their advice on how to avoid future fascism was even more wrong and has brought us to right where we are now - European countries descending into chaos and fascism in an attempt to "preserve democracy."

Mediaite:"Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621," Hong posted. "If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed Indegenous [sic] folx [sic] and women so be it."CNN's top tranny Kaitlin Collins asked her if she still wanted to cancel Thankgiving. She danced around the question -- but did not say "no." I'm a chef, and one of the first meals that I made that was for the community when i was 16 was a Thanksgiving meal. I always think my hospitality background and owning a restaurant for 7-8 years, that bringing folks around the table to share conversation and build community is always a good thing. But Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities. So I think there I wanted to make sure people understood there are multiple views, but views can evolve.
I ate two bites of my kid's cheeseburger at a Culver's in black river falls and told him they ran out of ice cream. Mostly just wanted to leave bc I was on the verge of a anxiety attack...to (sic) many old white people who didn't think we spoke english.She's such a racist that she can't even admit her own racial sin: She married a white guy and gave birth to a half-white son. But she can't bring herself to admit that her husband is (spit) "white." She euphemizes this horrific fact as noting that she is in "proximity to whiteness."
She now claims she never held that position. Or rather, she says she's not running on that position. She might hold it, she's just not making it part of her campaign (because it's extremely unpopular).
She will be nominated easily next week, August 11. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Did no one ask her which communities she is talking about?
Because the only 'communities' that might have a problem with Thanksgiving are the native americans and maybe the blacks - and only the African-American blacks, not Somalians or Nigerians, etc. There's no reason for asians to be 'hurt' by it.

The main quote:
Francesca Hong: At 18, I had a mental breakdown. I didn't actually walk at my high school graduation because I had been hospitalized for a week at a child psychiatric hospital. I just felt like nothing had meaning anymore. It was a numbness that took over, and a pain that I couldn't describe. I couldn't feel anymore, and that scared the hell out of me. And I found myself self-harming to feel something. Marsh: Were you cutting yourself? Hong: It was cutting. I was diagnosed with bipolar disease. I was taking SSRIs and I'd overdosed on lithium. I didn't know why I couldn't connect with people deeper, and that pushes you into isolation. But in restaurants, I didn't feel that. You see the best and worst of people here. It’s like, everyone wants to feel like they belong. I think a lot of the root causes were in being an immigrant's daughter, and wondering if my sacrifices would ever really justify my parents leaving their homeland to create a new life for me.

Finally found it. Part of the reason Hong and hubby's Ramen restaurant closed was because she chose to pay living wages ($23-25/hour), and couldn't afford it.

"At 18, I had a mental breakdown. I didn't actually walk at my high school graduation because I had been hospitalized for a week at a child psychiatric hospital. I just felt like nothing had meaning anymore. It was a numbness that took over, and a pain that I couldn't describe. I couldn't feel anymore, and that scared the hell out of me. And I found myself self-harming to feel something."

She was even in a mental hospital.
Posted by: SpeakingOf at August 04, 2026 04:57 PM (6ydKt) so was my mom and my step-mom. The saddest story was a young lady who checked into the hospital claiming she had tried to commit suicide, and when left alone for a minute in the ER tried to suffocate herself with a plastic bin liner, earning herself a psychiatric hold. That led to some review of practices. These are people you have to pray for, and they generally are so wrapped up in their own pain they make it extremely hard to do anything with them. If they are not resolving their problems they tend to try to destroy everything they get in touch with. Posted by: Kindltot at August 04, 2026 05:05 PM (rbvCR) 148
Hong clarified what she meant in the old Thanksgiving tweet on CNN. She did so well
It's forbidden to say but she's just not a good candidate. This is amateur hour nonsense. It's an easy no and then move on. Instead she takes a layup question and steps in it so badly that we're going to be hearing about it for a long time. Her "explanation" is absolute word vomit and doesn’t make any sense. The only thing anyone in the state wants to hear as an answer is “No, that would be ridiculous.” She represents the true woke left. She's basically a grown adult Tumblr liberal, a Tiktok progressive. And it is a massive turnoff to most Americans. Preachy, self righteous, while not being super insightful. Mamdani is popular because he's a just a relatable dude. So is El Sayed. But too many leftist woke women types are just grating. She can't let it die and take the L and it's going to cost her. There's a reason she didn't graduate from uw madison. She's just not smart enough for this. Say what you want about the DSA, but their dedication to not vetting candidates is heartwarming. Rapey oyster farmers to failed restaurateurs, all are welcome.

CA environmental laws makes it illegal for the Electric companies to clear out the brush from under their equipment and towers.
Posted by: Oldcat As public utilities, electric companies (like Pacific Gas and Electric) have to submit requests to Sacramento for authorization to spend money on equipment, vehicles, hiring, etc. One line item is to clear vegetation from underneath overhead power lines and other infrastructure.

Top states per capita for alcohol consumption:
New Hampshire Delaware Washington DC (not a state, fuck you Grok) Nevada North Dakota Wisconsin Posted by: Admiral Ackbar at August 04, 2026 05:17 PM (/y3Vc) ________________________ I can tell you why New Hampshire tops the list. It's a simple pragmatic reason. New Hampshire ranks highest in the nation for per capita alcohol sales primarily due to cross-border sales, tax-free state-run liquor stores, and low overall prices rather than actual heavy local consumption. It's the Massholes coming up and purchasing it at the border, because they taxed their own hooch into submission. No embellishment. Posted by: Orson at August 04, 2026 05:25 PM (dIske) 235

Hong is the daughter of hard-working immigrants who made the journey to the United States in the 1980s so her father could pursue a doctorate in Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Her mother is a music educator. Sweet Francesca, not a Korean name - owned a restaurant with her husband until sometime after C19. (Aside: Wonder how much PPP money she cashed in on?) Now she's a struggling, working single woman and mother. A person of the people, occasionally compared to AOC. --- BS.

Posted by: heya at August 04, 2026 07:18 PM (he7fo) Democrat Congressional Candidate and Soyboy Threatens Man With Knife, Then Gets Knocked the F*** OutIt's so good you guys. ![]() Update: A news article. A Democratic congressional candidate running against incumbent U.S. Rep. Jill Tokuda was arrested Saturday after a violent altercation at Keawakapu Beach in South Kihei. Kirill Basin, 40, was charged with two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening, and his bail was set at $1 million. According to Maui Police Department, the incident began when a 61-year-old man asked Basin to lower the volume of his music. Basin allegedly threatened the man by implying he had a firearm and would shoot the victim's wife. A bystander intervened, leading to a physical altercation during which Basin allegedly armed himself with a knife and threatened multiple people before throwing it into the ocean. The knife was later recovered by police. Video of the incident was widely shared on social media, including by the accounts HHHNewz and MaileMalia369. Prior Arrests And Restraining Orders Police say Basin has been arrested for other incidents of assault and property damage since May. Several people have taken out temporary restraining orders against him, including Maui County Council member Thomas Cook, who said he was worried about his personal safety and for his staff after Basin disrupted a meeting in May. Cook said Basin "became aggressive and confrontational" and "threatened violence against the police" and a council ambassador. Two days later, on May 29, reports circulated that Basin "brandished a weapon in a county office building in a confrontation with county employees."He thinks he's badass because he got an ugly tribal tattoo. Here's the end of the exchange. Below, the longer video, showing the build-up to the knockout. By the way, this punch is... so-so. This guy is a complete pussy for going down like a sack of lube over such a love-tap.
SirD 🇺🇸And why would this revolutionary tribal-tattoo tough guy think that a beach chair weighing about two pounds spread over four square feet would do any kind of damage to someone? Doesn't seem like this tough-guy has been in many fights. He was arrested for threatening to kill the man with a knife. People are pointing out he looks like the Yellow Bastard from Sin City. Only gayer. ![]()

I moved to Hawaii just a few months ago, and the locals (especially native Hawaiians) have this weird belief that they're justified in using violence, especially against outsiders, for all sorts of unofficial infractions. That dude a few months ago who chucked a rock at a special protected seal? Got his ass beat by the locals. The local Reddit forums regularly have discussions about locals beating tourists for whatever perceived disrespectful transgression against the Spirit of Aloha or whatever. Truly bizarre and unexpected.

Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at August 04, 2026 03:46 PM (/y3Vc) The seals and turtles are protected on the islands. When a seal beaches itself, there's a group that monitors the beaches, at least on Kawaii, and puts caution tape all around it. It's a $10k fine if you mess with them. The turtles were used by divers as they could descend faster than a diver alone, then the turtles would drown on the way back up. It's also a $10k fine just for touching them, if caught. That was 20+ years ago. Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at August 04, 2026 03:49 PM (2YhKe) 36

Two points: 1. Guy was high as fuck 2. That punch wasn't a monster, but it went straight into his face. Those are the most dangerous because you take the full force of the punch. It's not like a cheek or looping punch that hits at an angle, so some of the power is deflected. You can be knocked out or at least dazed by a straight punch like that even if it's not that hard.

Hawaiians are fucking assholes, 100% of the time. Lazy too. Later on, the one and only time I ever played Rugby was against a team of Samoans. My company XO walked into the barracks one Saturday morning and shanghaied a couple of us onto his team because they were shorthanded (probably the SMART players). Once we got onto the field, the Samoans turned us into paste. Huge, muscular and with a serious competitive streak. Once the game was over though, they were some of the nicest folks. Handshakes, smiles and handing out beers. Hawaiians would have spent the next hour insulting us as fuckin' haoles. Posted by: IllTemperedCur at August 04, 2026 04:14 PM (y9nCu) 187
I was at the beach once when a dude asked someone to please turn down their music. He asked rather politely. He was also a pretty large dude and with his family. They got very offended he asked to lower it and started hurling curses and racial comments at the dude. He ignored it until one of the jackasses started walking towards his family and making threatening remarks. Gigantor threw that idiot like a doll. He then grabbed their speaker and launched it into the ocean. I think it landed in Fiji. Cops came. Game over.

There was a Samoan guy who took up two seats on this dinky plane and sat across from me. As we got airborne and was being tossed around the sky, I looked at him and he was almost white, I wasn't feeling so hot myself, we held hands the rest of the flight - kindred spirits in our fear and claustrophobia of small aircraft. We ended up having lunch and a few beers together in Philly before we went our separate ways. He was the nicest guy and the best swimmer in our squad.

Living here. Fighting here. 🧐 I'm Kirill Basin. I moved to Maui during COVID. Lived in Hāna for a year, Pāʻia for two, and now I have a home in Waikapū. I have a son named Kozimir. Everything I do in public life is in service of the world he inherits. I went to law school, ran operations as COO of a 3,000-employee healthcare company, and managed institutional acquisitions. I know how systems work, and I know how they fail. Now I'm a business owner here on Maui. If elected, I will step away from operations entirely. This isn't a side project. I'm running because most people I talk to feel powerless. I want to be a portal for action — not just another voice complaining into the void.

CNN: Francesca Hong responds to Bill Maher's attacks on Dem Socialism. A significantly better response than what she did on Fox News. She's learning quickly. Hats off to her.
Maher is a MAGAt who likes to “pretend” he’s a Democrat. His idiotic show is based on basically criticizing democrats and their policies while staying mum about the Republican confederacy loving bunch of traitors. No matter what you think of her policies, I support many of them, she is not charismatic. Hong is going to set back Madison politicians for a generation. She's going to become the poster child for how Dems fumbled away a generic D+8 environment, and nobody is going to forget that. Harris was vetted pretty well and she lost to trump. Schumer is still leader of the dems in the senate. Jeffries in the house. Losers, all of them. What does vetting even mean? Hong doesn't answer to the establishment. Hong can't beat Tiffany. She is way to left for Wisconsin and her old tweets and personal views are coming back to haunt her. You underestimate the growing left movement in Wisconsin. Trump has driven centrists/moderates independents to vote Blue in protest. Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions brought by the Intrepid AoS Liaison at August 04, 2026 04:27 PM (/y3Vc) 238

Kiro 7 News: Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes, who got his ass fired for being unavailable during a mass shooting at the Bite Of Seattle and then nearly getting in a fight with a reporter when questioned about it owes $86K in unpaid federal taxes.
At the time of the mass shooting Barnes was in Dallas attending National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives’ annual conference which sounds suspiciously like LA Mayor Bass being in Africa when LA burned down plus promoting black supremacy, fake awards, and martinis. From Kiro 7 New: "Government records from Cook County, Illinois showed the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filed a federal tax lien against Barnes and his wife for $86,841.14 in unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest. The lien, filed in February 2025, applies to property owned by the couple and was recorded about one month after Barnes was appointed Seattle’s interim police chief."

I think *China* understands just how difficult it will be to mount an invasion of Taiwan and hazard that if the Russians and Iranians could have a do-over neither would repeat February 24 2022 or Oct 7 2023 or whatever it was Xi and Putin cooked up I think in the Winter Olympics of 2022 . But that's water over the dam and while China is probably dissuaded from crossing the Strait the problem is there's no clear exit in either the Ukraine or the Gulf and the world is shaking badly from the efforts of the Bear and the Turbans to get out of the trap. Adding to the difficulty is that the West remains politically divided with the left loathe to abandon their now obsolete program of mass migration, carbon neutrality and radical income distribution. Like Russia and Iran, the West also made a catastrophic commitment in the 2022 time frame. Now everybody with half a brain is trying to back out -- if there's still time. I agree completely. https://tinyurl.com/mr45c74m Posted by: Archimedes at August 04, 2026 04:36 PM (Riz8t) Posted by: West Virginia at August 04, 2026 04:36 PM (QaH55) 277

A Spokane, Washington, man was arrested and charged with setting the largest of three wildfires that crews have been battling in the region this week. Aaron F. Farinacci, 37, was arrested Monday and charged with suspicion of first-degree arson in connection with the Old Trails Fire, according to the Spokane County Sheriff's Office, the Associated Press reported. Farinacci was previously convicted of felony manslaughter in Arizona.He shot his father to death because his father told this lunatic man-child to do the dishes. He also shot his mother. Democrats allowed him to plead down to manslaughter. ... Farinacci was again identified when major crimes detectives began investigating reports and footage from body cameras, which indicated the fire started near where the witness had seen a man by the side of the road. Farinacci had matches and a butane lighter when he was arrested, Nowles said. He is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday. Matt Van Swol
Climate Change, as we know, is the root cause of all bad things. It has become so destructive that it is whispering in the ears of arsonists, telling them to start fires that burn down vast swathes of nature and not a few homes in places like Los Angeles and Spokane.Note that the left puts forward an arson, claims it's "climate change," and claims this proves all of their superstitions about Angry Weather Gods and demands we change our policies to their religion. But when it turns out that all of this destruction was caused by the left's insane "decarceration" agenda, not a single leftist admits that maybe this proves that their policies are responsible for environmental destruction (and human misery) and so maybe they should change them. No, every false claim proves that you have to change your beliefs, while no amount of true facts proves that they have to change theirs. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

If he was armed when told to do the dishes then it COULD have been manslaughter.
If he was told to do the dishes and then left and returned with a firearm then that is Murder 1. He should have been executed. Posted by: torabora at August 04, 2026 02:52 PM (s0EEG) 66

In July, the Joint Terrorism Task Force put out an alert to local Sheriffs that credible intelligence was recieved that multiple online nihilistic organizations were advocating the use of arson as a terror tool. I have no idea if this has any relevance to the person related. If there is a connection, I think it's doubtful that information would be forthcoming.

It might have been about dishes or having my girlfriend or my no-good cronies over. It doesn't matter much. We had guns all over the place. Either of us could've decided to freak out over it and murder the other, but nobody did.
If somebody says "it's your turn for the dishes, dammit," and you decide to shoot him instead of doing the dishes, you're a menace to society. That's a psychotic break, and it's going to happen again. Life. Maximum security.

The bums, they literally just give them 50 bucks and a lighter and point them on their way. Nothing to track for funding.
Feds needed to get up antifa's ass with a microscope years ago when they started brag-posting selfies from wildfire lines. It is probably too late, war is inevitable at this point and a lot of red staters are just going to do the "sweep in front of your own door and the whole world will be clean" thing. People are livid WAY past the "cleanse whole towns" threshold, and just waiting for an opportunity. The arson and the pedo freak shit are running neck and neck for kicking it off.

After murdering his father and trying to kill his mother over washing dishes YOU'D THINK he'd spend the rest of his life in a prison ward for the insane. Probably schizo.
I'd also guess he's inbred or something went wacko during his development with his close set eyes and low set ears (a marker for low IQ). There's more to his history of being weird, I am sure of it. Like the Idaho Student killer, his parents knew and maybe tried to get him help, and here we are. He sounds like my schizo cousin who abused his parents. WA seems full of these demons. Well, in reality they are everywhere. Parts of the country, however, don't tolerate demons once they are caught. I am sorry for the 700 people who lost their homes. Horrible.

I don't think China ever intended to invade Taiwan. Yeah, there was always a risk if conditions were ideal, but that has passed for now.
What they planned was to make it seem inevitable, and then to pressure the West, and Taiwan to accept it as a fait accompli. China always had much to fragile a ruling structure to allow such risk. Even if they won, it could mean a different faction gaining power internally and even Xi was never free of that risk. This is why I always said Putin was a bigger threat -- because he was always much more secure at the top. Chinese system does not allow that. They have little feifdoms all over, and especially in PLA. Posted by: bob (moron inbobnitus) at August 04, 2026 04:47 PM (g1vL2) 300

Posted by: Bea Arthur's Dick at August 04, 2026 06:08 PM (pE12i) DOJ Charges 19 Defendants in Philadelphia Medicare/Medicaid Fraud SchemeOur government budget is 90% fraud. The specific fraud type is yet again a Democrat creation. The Democrats wanted to pay people for "home health care" -- basically a non-medical-professional person dropping by someone's house and getting paid for it. It turns out that in 96% of the cases being charged here for fraud, the exact illness the "patients" were supposedly being treated for is "illness unspecified." Yeah I'll bet it's unspecified. Why? Because if you're defrauding the government, it's easier to say "I don't know why I'm sick" then get an actual diagnosis from a doctor. Not that you can't pay a corrupt doctor to submit phony diagnoses. That's a cornerstone of this industry the left has created to steal money from actual workers. But an actual illness could be expected to heal at some point, or kill the "patient," and it's just easier to claim you have some unknown, unidentifiable malady, who knows what it could be. All you know for sure is that you need the government to pay your husband $50,000 to "care" for you.

The ICD-10 code R69 illness unspecified should never be used as a principle diagnosis. It is used in conjunction with the primary symptom code, with R69 as add on for diagnosis unclear at the time of clinical evaluation, additional testing, consultation or workup pending. So just reject payment for all bills using R69 as principle diagnosis.
So... lazy criminals were counting on lazy bureaucrats to lazily approve their improper applications and wouldn't you know it... the money is rolling in. We should pay government paper shufflers more. Posted by: I used to have a different nic at August 04, 2026 01:24 PM (ExV1e) 15

Other defendants are alleged to have submitted overlapping or impossible work hours, such as care that exceeded 24 hours in a single day. Thank you Nick Shirley.

You can tote USAID all you want as a primary fundraising facet of the DNC all you want. And, yes, that was the case. BUT, I stand by the belief that the vast majority of fundraising for the DNC is done through this process totally illegally.
A portion of the funds are removed internationally, then show up back in the DNC coffers via distribution centers like ActBlue. The bulk amount is cut down into small amounts not requiring FEC discretion, all the while the DNC crows about their "grass roots support." Biden appropriated $47 Billion (thats with a "B") to these type services while simultaneously taking down oversight mechanisms. AND, btw...you might be interested to know that despite ActBlue's attention by the DOJ, they are reporting record funding and it's business as usual.

It has Talarico losing to Paxton by 13 points among white voters. Also Abbott winning by only 20. That's pretty bad for Texas. In fact, it would be absolutely horrendous. Like, historically awful. Like, hasn't happened in decades awful. When Cruz beat Beto in 2018, Cruz beat Beto by 34 points in the white vote, and that was a close end result.

My philosphy on polls is that the only real important ones are on issues, so a politician knows what "face" to wear when campaigning there. Carville (as much as I hate to admit it) was an absolute master at it.
Polls on races are unimportant....or at least, were unimportant. In today's world I think their primary purpose is to legitimatize fraud. Keep it close in the polls, even though it isn't...even show the wrong guy leading...then capitalize on that with fraud on election day (which lasts well over a month sometimes).

Campaigns spend most of their money on TV ads, and they know that TV ads aren't effective. GOTV efforts like door knocking are far more effective.
They know there are more effective ways to spend money, but they don't prioritize them because political spending isn't about influencing people. It's about shuffling donor money around and creating generational wealth.

Linus -- not unpopular at all.
I think there are two problems -- 1. Everyone wants to be special, and the easiest way to do that is to be a "victim". In my culture, being bipolar or neurodivergent, or flawed in any way is a sign of weakness. Never show weakness or you are a fag. What is wrong with people today? 2. People want someone to make their lives easy and fair. Life is neither. All growth comes from distress and pain and finding strength. Everything, from racism, to feminism to the sickos on youtube is explained by people just not accepting that life is not fair and so they must get over it. "Gov. has to pay me to take care of my own child," etc. I had this discussion in the 80s about "how come there were so many great blind musicians, and where did they go?" Well, they were musicians because they had to eat, and where they went is we started paying them to sit on their asses. Imagine what we are losing by not forcing people to find their own greatness. But that would also mean a lot of people would suffer. Aw fuck it. I problably sound like an ass, but it is 3;00 am so just ignore me.

"illness unspecified"
Yea, I'll bet. An easy way to uncover fraud in these cases is to just see which claims are for "illness unspecified." Why would there be no illness specified for a legit claim? There wouldn't be.

Doc Watson was blind since birth. The state of NC had programs and schools for the blind, to try and get them gainful employment. He was a radio repairman for a little while, and auto mechanic. He was skilled, he re-wired his mountain home, and it even passed code. His wife got a little frightened when he started doing roofing work.
He was very gratified when he could make money playing guitar, on his own, and not be dependent on others. Posted by: Common Tater at August 04, 2026 02:33 PM (910Mn) 250

Scott Bessent and Marco Rubio say a deal is imminent-adjacent. Hot Air quotes Reuters.This doesn't sound like a bona fide deal to me. This sounds like more duplicitous Iranian bullshit, still insisting they get to control the Strait and charges "tariffs" on oil ships, which they then use to buy missiles to shoot at Americans: Although Bessent insisted a future deal would include "freedom of movement," a Reuters report published on Tuesday morning said Iran was expecting to maintain control of inbound traffic in the Strait of Hormuz in a deal being negotiated with Oman, citing an Iranian source. Outbound traffic would take a route between the two countries, and Iran would maintain oversight on those traffic lanes as well. Despite Iran's past insistence they were not directly negotiating with the U.S., Trump said on Monday the talks were "going on right now." The president said he called off strikes over the weekend, which he claimed would have been "harder than any attack... since World War II." Trump said the talks were "backed" by other countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. "I want to give them every last chance before decapitation," he said later. Meanwhile, Fox News reports that someone high up in the government, or even in the White House, leaked top-secret plans for the massive aerial bombardment of Iran over the weekend. They don't say this leak caused the attack to be scuttled. Trump says that our "Gulf allies" requested the attack be delayed. Still -- what the hell is this? Gunther Eagleman

A major military operation was in the works.
Trump called it the largest since World War II. Then it got leaked over the weekend. Trey Yingst reports even senior Israeli intelligence officials had no idea the plan existed. That's how tightly it was held... until someone high inside the U.S. government decided to run their mouth to the press. I think it was a deliberate leak to let the Iranians know we were about to attack, so they (the Iranians) decided to play ball for now.

Leaking strike plans doesn't just undermine negotiations -- it puts American lives at risk and gives the enemy a heads-up.

"said Iran was expecting to maintain control of inbound traffic in the Strait of Hormuz in a deal being negotiated with Oman, citing an Iranian source."
When I see things like this being seriously discussed as part of a deal, it calls into question whether anyone reporting on this has any fucking clue what they are talking about. Iran has never "controlled" any traffic in the Strait, never will control any traffic, and couldn't do so even if it really really really wanted to. Iran "opening" and "closing" the Strait is made-up propaganda bullshit. Nobody ever heard of it before the war. It was invented solely to make the USA -- and Trump -- look bad. People who report on this bullshit have obviously never seen a map of the Strait or have any understanding about maritime shipping through the Strait.

I think that Trump is just mirroring the Iranians' tactics back at them. They have done this thing before of announcing an agreement where we surrendered to all their demands. I don't understand how that's even supposed to work as a negotiating tactic, since you're obviously not going to fool someone into thinking he said something he never said. I guess you then accuse him of reneging on your 'agreement' when he denies it, and hope that he wants it badly enough to make concessions to get you back to the table?
There's no way to deal in a rational and reasoned way with such nonsense. But a sufficiently shameless negotiator can just go tit for tat right back at them, and maybe someday they'll tire of it and get serious. Or maybe they'll die in an explosion first. We'll see!

As a point to consider, imagine if we reversed the situation. The US was blocking trade through the Caribbean, and Iran with the largest navy and air force in the world wanted us to stop.
Miami would be gone. Every coastal installation in FL would be gone. Every power plant, bridge, or major economic installation in the southeast would be gone. Every elite neighborhood they could reach around DC and maybe NYC would be gone. And Iran wouldn't be doing this because they are evil (which they are) but because this is how you win a conflict like this. Posted by: 18-1 at August 04, 2026 12:41 PM (sKqQm) 87

I just dont think it's worth throwing hundreds of billions (trillions?) at fighting Iran so the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait can transport its oil "cheaper" to sell to the world.
Maybe these insanely wealthy countries figure out their own way to fight Iran instead of Americans doing it for them? - Our conflict with Iran isn't about the Strait. It's about their desire to acquire nuclear weapons so they can please allah with oceans of irradiated blood. To include ours. Which is something we should probably seek to prevent. The Strait is a secondary issue. Posted by: Methos, inauthentic X-bot account at August 04, 2026 12:50 PM (vSvIl) 123

We can't judge the war until it plays out beyond these steps (if it ever does). The fact that Trump did this in an election year suggests one or more of the following:
A. Thought he could have it won and over and done with fast B. Believed regardless of consequence it was too important to leave alone or to the "next" people C. Had a catastrophic mental break of some kind D. Is rather suddenly someone else's puppet E. Fell for shitty intelligence from actors with bad intents F. Had supreme intelligence he still cannot reveal to the world 8. Believed the cause and outcome will bolster his legacy and party rather than tarnish it Which of these you believe, and how many is up to you! Posted by: ... at August 04, 2026 01:00 PM (FgjHu) 161

So how many Muslims in the US are willing to die, and how many Muslims are the Iranians willing to kill for this hypothetical nuclear bomb threat? I question this whole line of reasoning that starts with "Death to America" and always ends at "...by nuclear annihilation". Why? because the millions of Muslims in the West have told us time and time again that "Death to America" means Islamic take-over and death of the cultural West and anyone who doesn't bow the knee. Its the cohort that is wanting to bomb Iran to the days of primordial soup who keep telling us to not believe our lying eyes and expect a nuclear holocaust if we don't act now!

It’s astonishing that anyone posting thinks they know anything about what is really going on. If you really know what is going on, and are posting here, you’re breaking both security and the law. Even then what one “knows” even with certain levels of clearance is only what you need to know, and even then only what our side “thinks” is the case. Tolstoy was right, God alone knows what’s really going on in war. We humans are just making our best guesses based on poor and incomplete information.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 04, 2026 03:25 PM (hzuYO) The Morning Rant 8/4/2026 [Doof]![]() A Forbes article from the pre-Covid era compared the modern surveillance state to George Orwell's book 1984. The article made distinctions between government being the primary source in the book and private industry being the primary source in 2019. In the relatively short time since that article was written, those lines have gotten blurrier. As Orwell's 1984 Turns 70 It Predicted Much Of Today's Surveillance Society George Orwell’s famous novel Nineteen Eighty-Four turns 70 years old next month. Looking back on its predictions and the state of the world today, how much did it get right in its predictions of a dystopian surveillance state where every word is monitored, unacceptable speech is deleted, history is rewritten or deleted altogether and individuals can become “unpersons” for holding views disliked by those in power? It turns out Orwell’s predictions were frighteningly accurate.This is from May 2019 so add 7 years and change to that 70. In 1984, it was the state that determined what constituted acceptable speech in keeping society orderly. In 2019, it is a small cadre of private companies in Silicon Valley and their executives that wield absolute power over what we are permitted to see and say online.The atmosphere of free speech on social media got worse during Covid but has gotten noticeably better since Elon bought Twitter and the other giants dialed back on their ridiculous censorship. Going in the opposite direction - The State of Minnesota has recently decided to assert a claim to absolute authority over permissible speech with the Shiloh Hendrix case. In 1984, it was the state that made use of its vast surveillance empire to maintain order. In 2019, a landscape of private companies so large it is almost uncountable, monitors, monetizes and manipulates us. *** In 1984, the government funded the vast empire of equipment and personnel needed to maintain constant surveillance of its citizens. In 2019, the public themselves fund the great surveillance empire that monitors, monetizes and manipulates them. Citizens purchase the latest digital devices, upgrade and maintain them at regular intervals, pay for the power and internet services needed to connect them and grant unlimited rights to their most intimate information to private companies.Enter "Flock Safety" here in 2026. The distinctions made by Forbes in 2019 are rapidly disintegrating. Was it all government owned and operated property in Orwell's book? I don't know. But in 2026, "Flock operates on a subscription/lease model only. Hardware is owned and maintained by Flock and remains their property." (Source - getsafeandsound.com) Grok provided this note: Customers (including government agencies) own and control the data/footage captured by the cameras. Flock does not sell that data, and sharing is controlled by the customer. The distinction is important: the physical cameras belong to the private contractor (Flock), while the data belongs to the contracting agency or organization.So the customers (mostly government agencies at various levels) own the footage / data. Which is provided by Flock Safety. The unmentioned part is if/how Flock Safety themselves also review and/or retain the data. The public - who are the indirect billpayers - should know that! First, let's take a look at who owns Flock Safety. According to Grok with sources cited: Flock Safety (legal name Flock Group Inc.) is a privately held, venture-backed company with no single public owner or parent company. (bgr.com) It was founded in 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia, by Georgia Tech alumni Garrett Langley (CEO and largest individual shareholder), Matt Feury, and Paige Todd. The founders retain a significant ownership stake (estimated around 21% combined in some analyses), alongside employee stock ownership plans and numerous investors. (dealroom.co) Major investors include Andreessen Horowitz (a16z, which led a $275 million round in 2025 at a ~$7.5 billion valuation), Founders Fund, Tiger Global, Matrix Partners, Bedrock, Greenoaks Capital, Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, Coatue, and others (dozens in total). The company has raised roughly $950 million to over $1 billion across multiple rounds and has seen valuation signals around $8.4 billion in 2026 reporting. (bgr.com) It remains independent and founder-led, with no acquisition by a larger corporation. Note that while Founders Fund (associated with Peter Thiel) is an investor, Thiel does not own or control the company. (coloradosun.com)Peter Theil's name recently came up in an X post from Wall Street Apes that hit my feed People are very uncomfortable with the fact that Flock Cameras investor Peter Thiel shared over 2,400 emails with Jeffrey Epstein and now Flock cameras are pointed at little kids playgrounds Just take this location, “Here's a flock camera pointed directly at the schoolyard, monitoring where each kid walks, how they get home, if there's an adult with them, which car is picking them up” But it even gets worse than this, I’ll provide in the video an area next to a kids water splash pad that has a huge amount of Flock cameras pointed right at it They say it’s because the cameras are there for enhanced security at high risk locations, but the connection to Epstein has people more than concerned about these camera placements
Here's another post from Wall Street Apes. Video at the link. American is going to the gun range and she gets into the parking lot and notices something concerning There are 4 Flock cameras "pointing into the entrance of the parking lot. Not the street - into the entrance, so they can read every license plate that comes in here" "I'm sure there's no ulterior motive behind this either…." I was able to locate this location as the Eagle Sports Range in Cudahy, Wisconsin CBD mentioned the website deflock.org in his post. This is an outstanding site which contains a map of the US with the location of every Flock camera. As of last night, it was reporting just over 125,000 "license plate readers" in operation. Definitely check out that site. If you are on X, in addition to DeFlock, the accounts Orwell Day and Have I Been Flocked? are worth following. Some of you may have seen some of the anti-Flock related videos I have posted recently on my ONTs. Many more are hitting my X feed (which you also should follow!). Here are a couple. Truckers against Flock? A woman found her plate on haveibeenflocked.com. The judge was "mortified" reading through her victim impact statement. Here's one I posted on an ONT recently. How do Flock employees like being recorded?
But not everyone is against Flock. Police Officer quits immediately upon Flock contract cancellation Here's a situation where Flock cameras were said to be helpful
Milwaukee Officer Charged for Flock Database Misuse I am hopeful that there will be more and more pushback against these "safety" cameras which will lead to them being removed. At the same time, I wonder how many elected officials are "investors" in Flock Safety. ![]() From @MAGACharlie2024 Thanks to CBD for letting me fill in this morning.

Denver City Council debating reading a “slavery acknowledgment” at the start of meetings in addition to the “land acknowledgment” to talk about how terrible America is
Councilwoman Shontel Lewis who proposed it says it might be “uncomfortable” for white people. Colorado was never a slave state. Slavery was abolished in 1865. The territory of Colorado joined the Union in 1876. Amount of slaves before joining the union was zero. ... perhaps an "acknowledgment" for the Chinese who built the Western railroads and the Irish and Italians in the East. Also, a "Trail of Tears" and a "Donner Expedition" acknowledgment would work well with this ensemble. With just a little research, the City Council could fill their entire time with acknowledgments of unfortunate events of history. Should they acknowledgment the "Trojan Horse" ?

I'll admit that this does give me some brief second thoughts about these "safety" measures. A good result from ill advised measures is a rare exception, though. Overall, I agree with the countless people who oppose this type of surveillance because it is a violation of the 4th Amendment. It is also way too likely for misuse to occur.
For those lackwits who still insist that the government's spying on candidate (and President) Trump was no big deal, this is why people don't trust the government with this (or pretty much ANY) information. There was even a procedure put in place (FISA courts) to make sure it wasn't abused, and the first thing they did was abuse it. Posted by: Archimedes at August 04, 2026 11:08 AM (Riz8t) 28

In the brilliant science fiction series "Person of Interest" a benevolent AI has access to ALL of that data.
"Relevant" data (i.e., anything related to national security) is turned over to various government agencies. "Irrelevant" data (i.e., everything else) is deleted at midnight, but certain SSNs are passed along to people who can intervene if there's a bad situation in progress. Then a malevolent AI is constructed, which has far, far more sinister interests in capturing and manipulating that data. We should NOT be turning dystopian surveillance states into reality.

Cameras on private property, including your security cameras are. But... does a LEO in city A who "suspects" there's evidence in city B need a warrant to search city B's surveillance data?

But... does a LEO in city A who "suspects" there's evidence in city B need a warrant to search city B's surveillance data? There's a debate going on about that. Even if the data is from a publicly mounted camera.

Really dislike the cameras but they've been in private communities such HOAs, etc. for many years, and on public streets and in alleys owned by private citizens. If the fear is access for law enforcement, it's understood. However, half my PA 'neighbors' drive cars - for years on end - with out-of-state license plates (NY, NJ, DE), and mass produced paper temp plates (NJ) are plastered all over creation around here. If those cameras are in private hands, can access be even worse? Meta glasses? Forbid in K-12 schools, daycares, medical offices, etc. How? "Features a 12 MP ultra-wide camera to snap photos and record HD or 3K videos from your exact perspective. Allows you to broadcast directly to Instagram or Facebook, and switch between your phone and glasses camera during video calls." --- Many U.S. states have strict privacy laws that regulate video and audio recording, split mainly into one-party consent and all-party (two-party) consent rules. Key states with stricter rules include California, Florida, and Pennsylvania. Video in public spaces is generally legal everywhere, but audio and hidden cameras face tight restrictions. Again, how...now? Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 04, 2026 11:25 AM (NFX2v) 94

Here's one of the things surveillance systems, like Flock cameras can do; after monitoring your movements for some period of time the AI can pretty much predict where you are likely to be at any given time. In the spaces they cover.
This has been tested, documented. It's why LE will pull up surveillance data from months ago, weeks ago, days ago when searching for a person of interest. And when they would like to personally talk to them, or detain them, they have a pretty good idea where to find them. Posted by: Martini Farmer at August 04, 2026 11:33 AM (2Cry5) 118
Ahem
Not ALL Flock cameras are the work of the government; many are bought and placed by private groups like neighborhood associations, apartment complexes, and businesses. However, private and public cameras OFTEN connect to a single shared database that police can search. And so, consider storing home security videos locally instead of on the cloud, too? Posted by: L - No nic, another fine day at August 04, 2026 11:34 AM (NFX2v) 119
Flock cameras have been found on private property. One literally under a house's eaves. They have been found in locations near guardrails where law dictates NOTHING should be for safety reasons (for good reason). In one instance, some of those big barrels that are supposed to slow out of control vehicles that leave the road were used to conceal cameras.

Everyone hates surveillance. Until they want or need it. Half the subpoenas in any city -- and probably quite a few smaller towns -- are for people trying to get access to surveillance footage.
Usually, it's because there is a dispute over an accident. But sometimes, especially around late-night bars, there was a drunken brawl. Or whatever other reason there might be for video evidence of what happened. I'm generally against the surveillance state. I don't want people recording me, tracking me, watching me pick my nose or scratch my balls. But ... when a few months ago some assholic fucknugget backed his car into mine, and then denied he did, I would have really liked video evidence to prove my case to his insurance company.

Not to be a contrarian, but don’t all these cameras look at public locations? Why should I have an expectation of privacy when I’m out in public? Public roads, parking lots, trails etc…. I just assume I’m on camera whenever I leave the house
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at August 04, 2026 11:22 AM (+gA9j) The problem isn't that the CAMERA sees you at that location, the problem is that the SYSTEM tracks your movements. It is, in effect, stalking you. And it's only a matter of time before the courts decide that the prohibition against ex post facto criminal law doesn't apply to their political enemies.

Which would make sense if the government had a legitimate concern about public safety—but they don't. I think it is security theater meets rent-seeking.

2084629710928048352/photo/1 ======== Yesterday, DOJ successfully had the citizenship revoked on a naturalized immigrant who lied about criminal behavior before his naturalization. Denaturalization is hard because of several SCOTUS cases that raise the burden of proof on the government, so it's still a rare thing. Trump's second administration is leading the largest denaturalization push in decades, and it's about 200 people. However, each case is another bit of caselaw that will make the next effort easier. Getting a denaturalization through completely because the guy lied about his criminal past will lead to dozens more instances of denaturalization which will lead to hundreds which could lead to thousands. It took 60 years to get where we are in terms of 25% of Mexico living in the United States. Every tool is going to be useful, and every tool can be ramped up.

The left is upset about cameras NOW because they keep getting caught committing crimes and especially I noticed they are worried about cameras identifying illegals to send them home.
But previously the left argued if you aren't doing anything wrong you shouldn't mind the government monitoring you. Anyway I would prefer we roll back these systems and instead get serious about punishing criminals. I bet the car jacker in the flock story above had a long rap sheet already and was only able to commit this crime because our broken justice system...

Something I keep pointing out: If the surveillance state keeps growing, why is the homicide clearance rate still around 50%? I use homicide clearance because it's the one statistic that cannot be fudged (yet). All these license plate readers, cell phone dragnets, doorbell cameras... and yet people's murders still go unsolved.
Posted by: pookysgirl, going hmmmm at August 04, 2026 11:55 AM (qPIU+) _____ The 50% clearance for homicides is driven heavily -- if not entirely -- by gang violence in inner cities like Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, etc. These murders aren't solved because they can't be. They're not solved because nobody cares. If you take out these "unsolved" murders, the clearance rate would be much higher. Posted by: Elric The Blade at August 04, 2026 12:00 PM (iFTx/) 215

Not to be a contrarian, but don’t all these cameras look at public locations? Why should I have an expectation of privacy when I’m out in public? Public roads, parking lots, trails etc…. I just assume I’m on camera whenever I leave the house
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at August 04, 2026 11:22 AM (+gA9j) Thing is, you no longer have anonymity. The cams are also license plate readers. And the data owners also can get access to cellphone location data. If they want to, they can stalk an individual anywhere he or she goes, 24/7. This is a crime, called "watching and besetting". Old-school surveillance cameras just saw anonymous people, and only if a crime happened were the records scrutinized. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 04, 2026 12:02 PM (1z8ji) 226

Slight disagreement - the city authorities in those cities are in bed with the gangs, often literally. It isn't so much they don't care, its more they are on the same team.

There is definitely an anti-Christ sentiment in the world right now, and it's increasing.
Its always been there—in every nation throughout all human history. What you have is a false notion of what is normal because the former United States was saturated with Godly people. The whole salt & light paradigm played out. So there is historical proof that the higher density of the Elect/Remnant in the population, the more orderly the nation. But of course that makes it a hot spot for S'tan to destabilize. Even nominal Christians who LARP as true believers tend to behave themselves.

No smart meter attached to the mains? Your house has five detectable zones: Two 120V circuits, a 240V only, and 240 + those two 120V circuits. For example, your electric dryer runs 240V to run the heating element, but the motor spinning the drum is tied to one of the two 120V circuits. What does this all mean? A smart meter is able to detect appliance usage, and most appliances have a discernible fingerprint. A/C cycling, clothes washing, shower time (for electric WH) oven, stove and microwave use, refrigerator cycling.

This is complete nonsense. You're expecting privacy when you go outside. You're basically saying that no one can look at other people outside, and lawsuits will fly.
You attitude will quickly lead to 'protestors' at ICE buildings filing lawsuits against bloggers. Saying that .gov can't use cameras is retarded. That's why we had the illegals problem that Cueta is having today. "You have to follow the law! Bawk! They get a day in court!1! Bawk!1!!1" When I was a kid, damaging private property was a huge deal with lasting consequences if you were caught. We never locked our front door. Even talking about bashing property wasn't a thing, because we were civilized. The morality of the 'right' is being ground down, and we're becoming like them. Posted by: bravokilo at August 04, 2026 09:55 PM (/xFxI) Mid-Morning Art Thread [From the archives]This was sold by Sotheby's in 1984 for far more than expected, no doubt because of the marvelous brushwork on the lamp and the dress. Their description is interesting, and worth a read. Here is a bit of it....Taking as his inspiration the eponymous poem of 1833 by Alfred de Musset, Gervex transposes the narrative into fashionable contemporary Paris, signalled by the wrought iron railings and view of the Haussmannised cityscape beyond, the grand boulevard backdrop recognized by some viewers as the fashionable Boulevard des Italiens. Jacques Rolla, a well-born bourgeois, has decided to spend his final night with the prostitute Marion, having squandered his fortune on a life of debauchery. The scene depicts the morning after: while Marion lies asleep, Rolla broods on his fate and contemplates suicide by jumping from the window. The model for Marion is based on several women - the actress Ellen Andrée, a favorite of Renoir, Manet and Degas (she is the sitter in Degas' L'Absinthe of 1876) posed for the body, but demanded that a different model be used for the face.That little comment about Paris being "Haussmannised" is a pomposity, signalling that the writer is one of the elite who knows who Baron Haussmann was. Except...every Parisian knows who he was, and it's not that big a deal. It's like a New Yorker knowing who Robert Moses was. So? He was an urban planner who changed some of NYC, some for the good and some definitely not. But it's a hometown detail, and not a signal of one's intelligence. And in the "bourgeois" I get a whiff of Marxist dialectic, which deserves a whiff of grapeshot. But I digress. Manet, Degas, Stevens, the young, the old, everyone trooped in front of the canvas which was already famous before it entered the Salon…However, hardly had it been hung on the wall when the surintendant des Beaux- Arts, Turquet, gave the brutal order that it be removed on grounds of immorality, with the complicity of the Salon jury…that’s how an art dealer offered to exhibit Rolla at his shop on the Chaussée-d’Antin… I accepted, as you can imagine, with gratitude, and for three months there was indeed an uninterrupted procession of visitors with a queue of carriages backed up to the Opera.

Nice painting and beautiful colors and I like the light on the courtesan's body . The subject of deciding whether you want to jump out the window is not exactly cheerful, but then Alfred de Musset as talented as he was in some ways was a weirdo:
Outside of his relationship with George Sand he was a well-known figure in brothels, and is widely accepted to be the anonymous author-client who beat and humiliated the author and courtesan Céleste de Chabrillan, also known as La Mogador.

Musée d'Orsay, France
Henri Gervex (1852 - 1929), in part: In the Spring of 1878, a month before the inauguration of the Salon, Rolla was brutally excluded from the event by the Beaux-Arts administration. Yet, Henri Gervex was a renowned painter. Aged only 26, he had already been awarded a medal at the Salon, which in theory made him an "outsider" in terms of competition and therefore dispensed from the deliberations of the jury in charge of choosing the artworks exhibited. This time, the authorities decided otherwise as they judged the scene to be "immoral." If the scene was judged indecent, it was not because of Marie's nudity, which in no way differs from the canonic nudes of the time. The attention of contemporaries rather turned to the still life constituted by a gown, a garter, and a hastily undone corset covered with a top hat. Gervex might have been advised by Degas to put "a corset on the floor" so that the spectator may know this woman "is not a model." Indeed, this disposition and the nature of the clothes clearly indicate Marie's consent and her status as a prostitute. Moreover, the walking stick emerging from the garments acts as a metaphor for sexual intercourse.

Gervex could certainly capture the sensual female, women completely comfortable with their bodies. Several of his paintings show similar themes. Beyond that, his ability to show light, natural or artificial, in a setting is excellent, eye catching, and displays the details that make make the painting so effective.
He also had a sense of humor. His account in CBD's post has a strong 'screw you' aspect to the prudes who removed this painting from a museum. He has a painting of an art jury. A group of 'serious' men, passing judgement on displayed paintings, all clustered around a painting of a nude woman and ignoring the other works.

Carolyn Jones passed away on August 3, 1983, at only 53 years old, but the dark elegance she brought to the screen remains unforgettable.
Born in Amarillo, Texas, in 1930, Jones enjoyed a successful career in film and television, appearing in productions such as The Seven Year Itch, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and King Creole. She also received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in The Bachelor Party. However, she became immortal as the original Morticia Addams in the 1960s series The Addams Family. With her hypnotic gaze, elegant movements, mysterious beauty, and wonderfully dry humor, she created the image of Morticia that continues to inspire gothic culture today. Carolyn Jones gave darkness grace, charm, and timeless style. Posted by: rickb223 at August 04, 2026 09:58 AM (BPuyI) 115
I saw Lee van Cleet in a 50s Sci-Fi movie the other day, he looked surprisingly normal or unthreatening. . . .
Posted by: Common Tater at August 04, 2026 *** One of his earliest major roles was as a thug/hitman, half of a team with Earl Holliman, in a noir called The Big Combo. The film is remembered partly because of the implied homosexual relationship between the two gunmen. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at August 04, 2026 09:59 AM (wzUl9) 116

What we know about the Idaho In-N-Out shooter and his connection to Twin Falls
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — The College of Southern Idaho confirmed that Chad Williams attended the school from Aug. 22, 2022, through Dec. 14, 2023. The college said he did not graduate with a credential from the college. “The College will cooperate with appropriate law enforcement agencies during their investigation,” the statement said. Investigators believe he acted alone. Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said social media claims identifying another individual as the suspect were false. “We understand there are many questions, and we will try to answer as many of those in time as we can,” Hicks said. “However, because some details cannot be released at this stage, doing so would compromise our investigation.” It was confirmed he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. What investigation? What's to compromise? You said he acted alone and he's dead. Posted by: rickb223 at August 04, 2026 10:07 AM (BPuyI) 134

I enjoy a variety of entertainment including combat sports, role-playing, history, and gaming. I'm majoring in nursing and after graduating will pursue further education while working in healthcare." He was a senator in the college's student government, the spokesperson confirmed, until he was impeached from that role in February 2023. (Lack of participation & to be replaced with another student.) Raised in Arizona, originally living in Waddell, a suburb on the western outskirts of the Phoenix metro area. Disclosed on his personal social media profiles that he was a former foster care youth. Participated in Boys State in 2019, a prestigious civic leadership program for top high school students.

Dow is kinda irrelevant these days. It’s an archaic metric there for historical reasons more than anything else. It’s a weighted average which means the biggest companies have the most influence. And it can really skew it up or down if one or two members outperform.
All the other indexes are doing well so it’s not like DJIA is a fluke. But it’s not what matters anymore. Posted by: Make it stop at August 04, 2026 10:45 AM (3cXW4) 236
