As Evidence of Gavin Newsom's Corruption Grows, He Placates the Left By Announcing He'll Support a Communist Seizure of the Estates of His Rich Enemies

Evidence of Gavin Newsom's looting of California taxpayers is mounting and becoming something that not even the monolith Democrat media can hide.


MacDonald said Tuesday that the DOJ probe "is about California Democrats' modern-day machine politics," which she described as a "feedback loop of Sacramento-corporate lobbyists-governor/wife nonprofit-behested nonprofit donations-lucrative state contracts-Sacramento."

...

"The modern Sacramento machine trades corporate compliance and nonprofit funding/donations for policy access and state business," MacDonald added, and then explained how that grift (allegedly!) worked for the Newsoms:


According to IRS Form 990 disclosures, her nonprofit frequently buys from Siebel Newsom's for-profit film company--Girls Club Entertainment LLC--writer, producer and director services and the licensing and production rights for her documentaries. Then it sells the docs to the state and public schools.

IRS records show that her nonprofit has paid her Girls Club Entertainment LLC roughly $1.64 million for these production and licensing rights since 2012, which includes a steady annual contracting fee of $150,000 since 2018.

TL;DR: Siebel Newsom produced unwatchable propaganda videos for children, for which Democrat-dominated schools then paid her handsomely. Or as MacDonald summed it up, "Over the past decade, Siebel Newsom has collected over $3.7 million in combined personal salary and LLC payouts funded by the nonprofit."

Then there are behested payments, which MacDonald explained are "a unique mechanism in California politics where an elected official asks a corporation, labor union, or wealthy individual to donate money to a specific charity, nonprofit, or government program." Unlike campaign donations, there are no caps.

As governor, Newsom requested a record $226 million in behested payments in one year. "Hundreds of thousands of dollars went to the California Partners Project," MacDonald wrote, "a nonprofit founded by his wife."

"Many of the biggest donors were corporate giants (like health insurers and utility companies) actively bidding for lucrative state contracts or fighting state regulations."

City Journal reports that Newsom's inner circle is a Murderer's Row of graft.


As federal agents examine Newsom's connections, we decided to do the same. We reviewed records dating back to his tenure as mayor of San Francisco. They reveal that, over nearly three decades in politics, Newsom has amassed a network of appointees, employees, and associates implicated in a range of ethical violations and criminal offenses--including, in some cases, serious felonies.

Newsom has suggested he wants to improve California's culture of self-dealing. Last year, his spokesperson said that "the governor expects all public servants to uphold the highest standards of integrity." Our review reveals that, in fact, Newsom has surrounded himself with corruption and criminals.

This is Gavin Newsom's circle of corruption.

Dana Williamson

Governor Newsom appointed Dana Williamson, a "bareknuckle political brawler," as chief of staff in January 2023. Less than two years later, she left the governor's office after becoming the subject of a federal corruption probe. Last month, she pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud, among other charges.

Williamson was involved in multiple corrupt schemes that began before she joined Newsom's office. In one, prosecutors say, she and two others conspired to drain $225,000 from a dormant campaign account belonging to Xavier Becerra. In another, Williamson claimed bogus business expenses worth $1.7 million, which she used to purchase luxury vacations and "private jet travel."

She also faced a charge stemming from the investigation itself. Last month, Williamson pleaded guilty to having made false statements to federal agents. The DOJ reported that Williamson had hoped to distract the FBI from her criminal conduct by, among other things, concealing her "involvement in passing information to former clients . . . to give them an advantage in litigation against the state."

According to one Democratic consultant, Williamson operated "like a mafia boss."

...

Mohammed Nuru

Mohammed Nuru was a public works official under Mayor Newsom. For years, Nuru was a major figure in city politics, exercising "substantial power and influence over" San Francisco's "business and policy, including its public contracts, permits, and construction projects."

In 2020, Nuru was arrested for his role in a massive bribery and corruption scandal. For more than a decade, he had orchestrated a bribe-and-kickback racket, exercising his political power in exchange for cash and gifts. In 2022, Nuru pleaded guilty to federal charges and was sentenced to seven years in prison.

Newsom's ties to Nuru predate his mayoralty. Nuru had reportedly volunteered on Newsom's first mayoral campaign while serving in city government. In 2003, Nuru allegedly helped orchestrate a coercive voting scheme through the San Francisco League of Urban Gardeners (SLUG), a city-funded nonprofit under contract with his department.

The alleged scheme involved coercion. In January 2004, nine SLUG street cleaners spoke to the San Francisco Chronicle and claimed that Nuru pulled them off work to campaign door-to-door. Four workers said that SLUG "crew chiefs" requested their voting receipts. "I felt like I was in another country, like it was some kind of dictatorship," one said.

Newsom won a narrow runoff. He received roughly 25,600 more absentee votes than his opponent--the same ballot type that nine workers alleged they were coerced into casting for Newsom. San Francisco's city attorney later confirmed that SLUG had misused city funds to influence an election, and the nonprofit was barred from receiving future city contracts.

....

"For at least twelve years, Nuru shook down contractors eager for City business, trading his authority and influence for millions of dollars in cash, construction work, travel, meals, and gifts," U.S. Attorney Stephanie Hinds said in a statement after Nuru's sentencing. "His abhorrent conduct erodes the public's trust in its government, and this case demonstrates the justice system can and will punish corrupt public officials."

You get the idea. Read the whole thing for more.

Now that the hard left has almost completely taken over the Democrat Party, Newsom is giving up his former resistance to a communist seizing of the estates and embracing it.

And he needs to -- he needs to change the topic of conversation from "Newsom is a corrupt caudillo" to "Newsom is a communist."

He'd rather have the latter argument -- at least there's a growing constituency for communism in the Democrat Party.

CNN somehow got the first word from Newsom:

Gavin Newsom opposes a California wealth tax. He's proposing a national billionaire tax instead

California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday proposed a national tax on billionaires that he says is the first part of an "economic reset for America" agenda, which aides explicitly say is part of his considering to launch a presidential campaign.

"The system America's founders built was designed to prevent the concentration of power in a few hands, but we have allowed that concentration to happen anyway, slowly, in plain sight, over decades," Newsom writes. "We can reverse it together, as a country."

It is extremely early in the presidential campaign cycle for a policy proposal -- but comes as Democrats continue to embrace economic populism


"Economic populism," CNN? Isn't there a more accurate term for the confiscation of the estates of the wealthy?

and moves against the wealthy. It also comes as California voters in November will decide on a billionaires' tax after the governor and opponents of the tax late Thursday failed to reach a deal to keep it off the ballot.

Newsom, who is term-limited in California and will leave office in January 2027, lays out his proposal in a Substack post that went live on Friday morning, calling for a minimum tax on anyone worth more than $100 million so that they pay at least the same rate, rather than less, than the average American worker who doesn't have loopholes and other maneuvers to benefit from.

Newsom's shift is an important moment in Democrat-Communist Politics. He would allegedly be considered an "establishment" Democrat, meaning, as David Strom says, he's part of the Organized Crime Democrat Party that Hillary Clinton belongs to, the wing that's primarily interested in extorting money from corporations and putting it into their own pockets.

By now siding completely with the DSA communists, he's announcing that the Democrat establishment is now fully communist as well.

Robert Sterling
@RobertMSterling

Three things:

1. "It's time for an economic reset" is the most terrifying thing I've ever heard an American politician say. If you don't get what those words portend, you don't understand 20th century history.

2. Among Democrats, Newsom is considered a moderate, not a progressive. His endorsement of a wealth tax makes it an official part of the Democratic Party platform for moderates and progressives alike; the policy is now table stakes for any Democrat seeking office at any level and in any region. We are no longer going to be able to escape this by simply claiming it's the fringe left advocating for it.

3. Notice that Newsom calls it a "billionaires tax" but references the wealth of the top 10%. If you think a tax such as this would be limited to billionaires, you are delusional (remember that the income tax originally applied to less than 1% of earners). Billionaires have an entire industry of wealth managers, lawyers, and tax advisors helping them shelter assets. When this "billionaires tax" fails to collect even a small percentage of what Democrats promise it will, they will quickly expand it to apply to anyone with even $5M of assets (which is a top 2% net worth). Ordinary people far below the level of the ultra-wealthy--main street small business owners, mom-and-pop real estate investors, farmers, anyone with a decent-size nest egg in their IRA or 401k account--will quickly feel the pain as well.

Pay attention. This is serious, it's not going away, and it's going to come for all of us, billionaire or not.


Below, Gavin Newsom femsplains that he's only being accused of corruption (originally by the Biden DOJ!) because, unlike the right, the left has no media machine to amplify political attacks on their enemies.

Bonus:

Sorry guys, it's a slow news day. I'm dying over here.

I sure hope it's not going to be this slow through the week of July 4.

27 On Wednesday morning, Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) appeared as a guest on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” to discuss the primary results with the show’s host, Joe Kernen.

Finally, frustrated by Blunt Rochester’s continued deflection, Kernen cut right to the heart of the matter. He asked, “Where has socialism ever worked, Senator?”

Looking like a deer in the headlights, she joked, “Is that another question, or is that for the next interview?”

It was a stupid remark, and an obvious attempt to dodge the question because the honest answer, of course, is nowhere.

“Oh, that’s definitely for you,” Kernen replied. “I just want to know one place where socialism has been beneficial.”

29 Democratic socialism can be characterised as follows:

Much property held by the public through a democratically elected government, including most major industries, utilities, and transportation systems

A limit on the accumulation of private property

Governmental regulation of the economy

Extensive publicly financed assistance and pension programs

Social costs and the provision of services added to purely financial considerations as the measure of efficiency

San Francisco Mayor London Breed acknowledged that she dated Mohammed Nuru, the city's former Public Works Director, for a brief period about two decades ago.Breed disclosed their past relationship in February 2020 amid a federal corruption investigation into Nuru.

While addressing the situation, she noted they had been close personal friends for over 20 years. At the time of her disclosure, she also revealed that she had received approximately $5,600 from Nuru to cover personal car repairs. This led to a subsequent investigation by the San Francisco Ethics Commission, resulting in Breed agreeing to pay penalties for violating city gift laws.

Job should disabuse people of that.

But what is more interesting in Job is that Job is renown for his godliness. And Job utters his sense of good. He cites that he fed people who were hungry, and gave shelter to people who were without a roof for a time. He gave to those who had need.

His peers just see calamites as "God's judgment" and "righteous punishment" and feel godly as some sort of participant in "God's chastisement".

So we see a sharp difference between Job's idea of righteousness and the other prominent men of his society. Job even expresses why shouldn't he be made to suffer something along with everybody else.

The prickly parts of Job can never be completely ironed out for human palatability, and from a human perspective, but it allows us incremental insight into God himself and what he considered admirable.

As I commented earlier, this was a tough case for the prosecution. I don't think they'll ever find a jury to convict.

All the evidence against him is circumstantial and mostly refutable.

Despite what you may have read, nobody saw him set the fire. There were multiple people setting off fireworks in the same area. The prosecution was unable to prove that the fire wasn't started by one of them.

He also apparently called 911 when he first saw the flames. That's odd conduct for an arsonist.

Plus, the fire he was accused of setting was not the fire that eventually destroyed Palisades. The first he allegedly set was much smaller. That was put out by the LAFD. But they fucked the pig and it restarted a few days later.

Tough case for prosecution.

63 By the nature of things, people entering retirement have generally saved more wealth than those who have just entered the work place (duh). As this wealth tax expands to the top 5% or 10%, it will be basically amount to stripping retirement savings from those retirees who were responsible and saved money, while the younger (less white) population, many of whom don't work, will cheer like its the french revolution. Those in or near retirement who failed to save anything will be validated for their irresponsible choices.

93 OT - I have an interesting point.

Other presidents have done negotiations like a stage performance facing the American Public. They make moves and statements for that audience to gain support and votes. It turns into a performance though and we never know what is going on backstage so the other negotiating party (foreign or domestic) can take advantage knowing that they will get what they want as long as it looks good to the front of the house.

Trump does the opposite -- he negotiates facing the opposition, and the American public become the peons doing all the work backstage, but never seeing what is really happening. We see him gladhanding tyrants and saying that our enemies are "a really terrific guy" and it feels like an insult to us, but he is doing that for their benefit and he does not care how it looks.

Posted by: Axeman

You see the same distinction made in early Christianity and why the schism in the West occurred over indulgences. None of us are 'good' in the sense of not sinning at all. So it takes divine grace to be admitted to heaven and if you are a Christian, belief in Jesus who was the divine sacrifice of atonement for all our sins.

But one still has to try to behave as Jesus and much of the the OT proclaims as the Lord's law, despite our natural sinful nature, and beg for forgiveness of our sins when we violate divine precepts.

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

I don't get this -- why opposite it in California but not nationwide? -- but maybe I'm not supposed to. Newsom said he'll veto that Billionaire's Tax if it passes. Considering he's on his way out in Cali, the only reason I can imagine for him to veto it is for signaling purposes for his presidential campaign.

Now that he's adopting the DSA way, I'm getting kind of concerned. That Billionaire's Tax bill literally has provisions that allow it to be expanded infinitely.

124 Newsom, who is term-limited in California and will leave office in January 2027, lays out his proposal in a Substack post that went live on Friday morning, calling for a minimum tax on anyone worth more than $100 million so that they pay at least the same rate, rather than less, than the average American worker who doesn't have loopholes and other maneuvers to benefit from.

One of these "loopholes" is where rich people (their business entities) take profits and distribute them as bonuses to their employees*. Another is where they take their profits and reinvest in the their companies. These "loopholes" create a better place to work, more jobs and stronger companies.

They only tried over time to do something different as he gained in genuine popularity and flat refused to go away.

Watch when the exact opposite happens with this "organic" Democrat movement. No personal destruction, some tut tutting, some "oh you, but I think killing ALL Jews is going too far, let's just compromise for now and do half the Jews and make sure we get all the rich ones"... and a lot of "this (straight up communism) is just Populist Democrat MAGA".

I expect after making MAGA a veritable curse word they try to leverage every ounce of what Trump put into it. Sort of like how they didn't want to touch Epstein and then suddenly he was the most important thing in the world.

Most of those people cannot actually enunciate Marxist theory but simply wing it on capitalism bad, socialism/gubmint good. That is because profit is bad because someone got cheated, non profit is good because no investor got a 'profit' by cheating.

Of course, they ignore multi million dollar salaries and bennies at 'non-profits' . If anything from being around a fair number of non profits, they tend to scrimp on salary and benefits for those low on the totem pole more than businesses do. The higher ups do all right in a lot of them.

205 185 The Democrats have been salivating over our 401(k) money for years, but they hadn't moved the window enough yet. Now they've got their public champions and a sufficient number of brainwashed proles to support it. It'll be the largest single confiscation of wealth since FDR took everyone's gold.

That is more likely to get into a breakup of the Union before even confiscating arms door to door. And they will end up dead and defeated if they try it. You cannot run a revolution from the cities, it takes holding the countryside from folks armed to the teeth and too spread apart to actually focus military force on them.

The smarter Democrats were trying to do the same thing by inflation and deficit spending leading to inflation of the national debt away rather than tax increases.

Posted by: guy on a tractor


I would just like to point out that "the bourgeoisie" are the middle class

The people who make a living by building businesses that the lower classes can work, and by providing services that people pay to use, and by selling the goods that they or their employees make.

The entire point of Marxism is aristocrats - like Marx and Engels - using the lower class to destroy the middle class that threatens the aristocracy's dignity by being prosperous and dressing well enough that you can't tell them from the aristos.

The sudden emergence of "bougie" as some kind of put-down concerns me greatly, for this very reason.

Former Colorado DNA Analyst Pleads Guitly to Manipulating Evidence

This doesn't seem to be the situation we've seen in the past of an "expert" altering test results to secure a conviction.

This woman deleted DNA evidence in rape cases.

She pled guilty to four counts of falsifying evidence to influence a public official but she was actually accused of 1,003 of deliberate alterations.


Former Colorado DNA analyst pleads guilty to manipulating data in agreement with prosecutors


A former DNA analyst with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation changed her plea to guilty in court on Tuesday to four charges, as part of an agreement in which prosecutors dropped 100 other counts she was facing.

Yvonne "Missy" Woods reached a plea agreement with prosecutors after she was accused of mishandling or manipulating data in dozens of criminal investigations, casting doubt on many cases in which she was involved. She pleaded guilty to one count each of cybercrime, perjury, attempt to influence a public servant and forgery.

...

Woods agreed to a stipulated sentence of between eight and 16 years of prison as part of the guilty plea agreement.

...

CBI said it launched an investigation into over 1,000 cases in which Woods had some sort of involvement. The agency said it looked at cases from 1994 to 2023, when she was placed on administrative leave and then retired.

According to an arrest affidavit, investigators said Woods intentionally left DNA samples out of tests or reports and sometimes would test samples until the results showed what she wanted....


Investigators alleged that Woods deleted some findings of what are called "specific values" in more than 30 sexual assault cases. She was accused of submitting reports that said no male DNA was found, when there was, in fact, male DNA or possible contamination that should have been retested.

Woods worked at CBI's Denver regional laboratory in Lakewood until the facility moved to Arvada in 2016, where she worked until she retired in 2023.

Her shoddy work resulted in a convicted murderer going free. I don't know if he was actually innocent and framed, or if this woman's incompetence freed a guilty man.

A Colorado man convicted of murder over a decade ago in Boulder was released from prison in April 2025 after his lawyers say DNA evidence in the case was mishandled by Woods. Michael Clark spent 12 years behind bars but always maintained his innocence in the 1994 murder of Marty Grisham.

The district attorney in Boulder, Michael Dougherty, says the DNA evidence wasn't the only problem with the case.

"The Clark case I look at somewhat differently, because in addition to the concerns we had about Missy Wood's involvement, we also had really significant concerns about juror misconduct, also ineffective assistance of counsel," said Dougherty. "But there are other cases where the DNA evidence played a really important role, and the misconduct by Missy Woods had an incredibly damaging effect on our ability to do justice for the case. And it's caused us to revisit different cases and open old wounds for victims and their families, and that's true in offices around the metro area."

...

"She doctored testing results to avoid testing," pointed out Jud Lohnes, an attorney with the Korey Wise Innocence Project at CU Boulder Law. "And that has a dramatic effect on both defendants and victims. Defendants who may have been deprived of DNA testing that could have proved their innocence, and victims of crimes who, whose cases may have withered on the vine because she didn't conduct the DNA testing that could have brought the true perpetrator to justice."

This account says that she deleted DNA results not to swing an investigation one way or the other, but just because she was lazy and didn't want to do the additional steps needed if she admitted there was DNA present.


The bureau's investigation revealed that Woods' misconduct impacted a total of 1,003 cases. A second internal affairs investigation report, which says Woods admitted to purposefully deleting data, states she omitted facts in criminal justice records and tampered with DNA testing by altering or omitting test results from case files.

According to the CBI's investigation report, an intern found an anomaly in Woods' past DNA work during a research project on sex assault kits, which triggered the internal affairs investigation.

According to the 35-page arrest affidavit, Woods admitted to investigators that she deleted data in some cases to avoid taking additional steps. This included reporting she had not found male DNA in several sexual assault cases, despite having found small amounts.

Woods admitted she purposefully deleted data, according to an internal affairs investigation conducted by a team in Kansas. That investigation found she omitted facts in criminal justice records and tampered with DNA testing by altering or omitting test results from the case file. The internal affairs investigation did not find evidence Woods falsified DNA matches, but instead that she deviated from standard testing protocols.

As I look at it, only the Lord knew how unhinged Man could become "going it on his own".

To us moderns and semi-moderns, it's almost like the lack of necessity of it going this way is almost a shield against it happening.

But that's not how necessity works.

It's like the atheist argument that there is nothing that atheism requires or implies other than a lack of a belief in God. History is shaped by the forces that shape it.

It doesn't matter that atheism is not constrained by simple disbelief in any one direction, but that does not mean that absent a faith in God there aren't other forcers.

95 I don't recall seeing this important SCOTUS case discussed yesterday...and it somewhat relates to the justice system!

Supreme Court, 6-3: Prison guards who forcibly shaved a Rastafarian inmate's head can't be sued for damages. Damon Landor is a Rastafarian whose faith requires that his hair go uncut. Near the end of a Louisiana sentence, he handed intake officers a copy of binding Fifth Circuit precedent holding that RLUIPA bars prisons from cutting Rastafarians' hair; he alleges the officers threw it in the trash and shaved his head anyway. He sued the officers personally for damages. The Court held his suit cannot proceed: because RLUIPA rests on Congress's spending power, it works like a contract, binding only those who voluntarily agree to its terms. Louisiana's prison system accepted federal funds and agreed to answer RLUIPA suits — but the individual officers signed no such agreement, so they cannot be held personally liable.

I don’t care enough to dig deeper and form an opinion...I just like the idea of guards trashing some BS "exemption" and shaving some dirty rasta felon's hair.

I think what they are saying is there was no rhyme or reason behind what she was doing. She didn’t do it to protect a certain class of person, or certain person in general. She didn’t care who she was freeing (or putting in prison because dna that might exonerate was not processed), so long as she got to collect her paycheck and go home on time.

116 85 The dirty little secret about DNA testing is that it's not nearly as accurate as it's portrayed in the cop shows.

Yes, it's deadly accurate if it's all done right, from proper collection, to storage, to testing, to reporting the results. It's not hard to get contamination or for one of these steps to be duck-fucked.

Yes, and the jury doesn't know any of that. All they hear is "DNA evidence proves..." and they're mentally out the door. The DNA, which is platinum standard truth and fact, settled the case. We're done here.

It's the CSI effect, or the Bones effect. Forensic evidence is not at all like it's shown on TV where they put a piece of dirt into some Buck Rogers looking machine and it provides a holographic projection of the crime scene as events unfolded. It's mostly boring, tedious, highly labor-intensive, and not necessarily probative. Then you also get jurors who want to know where all the DNA and holographic projection evidence is when it's an open and shut armed robbery caught on an Uber driver's dash cam.

My folks lived in Fairbanks for a couple of years in the late '50's. When the temperature dropped below zero for days on end, everybody wore these big insulated parkas from Army Navy Surplus, so they were all OD green with huge hoods with fur ruffs, so you couldn't really see any faces. Somebody robbed a bank, and my dad was walking down to City Hall to file a construction permit. They picked him up because he matched the description of the robber. 5'8", wearing an OD green jacket..... Just like everyone else.

Do I think it's racially motivated? No I think it's more likely lazy, stupid, and incompetent.

Like the Christopher Dorner incident where the cops were looking for a gray Nissan Titan. Someone reported a pickup truck creeping along. Police responded. It was a blue Toyota Tacoma. The police shot the shit out of the truck firing over 100 rounds without making any sort of announcement.

I just meditate on the Lord and Man, and try to learn more scripture and apply more scripture as an "overlay" to learning about the world.

Let's dispose of the idea of basing your life on Christian say-so. But let's suppose that Western Civilization was built by the Holy Spirit, working ages with men who at least had a portion of an ear to hear him.

Western Civilization is basecamp to the full understanding of God, but it's principles are demonstrably "higher" than non-Christian cultures, even though many elements in other cultures are not by necessity worse.

187 God is the pinnacle. We may never get there. I venture to say we probably never will. That will perhaps ever be part of our relationship.

But, I believe--from what I have experienced--that there are always higher rungs on which we can stand.

I reject the "glory" term of Calvinism because it narrows down the fullness of scripture.

Scripture: God wishes no man to perish.
Calvinism: People were chosen from the beginning for His Wrath "for His Glory".

If the Calvinist principle is pressed too hard, that's a different person! And Calvinism appeals to me as simplification so that I can claim to have a closer to equal understanding to God, rather than remain open to his lifting.

Great, let NYC pick them up and park them wherever in the city. Then arrest them, and Mamdani as he's providing sanctuary for them, against the law.

Keep him on ice (SWIDT) as a flight risk until the case is resolved. Make his confinement "uncomfortable" in a federal facility with no A/C or running water. Maybe park a few Haitians in his cell with him. That'd be fun.

That is the scary thing to me. TV, and that one Hillary interview that came out in 2016 gave me the impression that the defense attorney can demand to run their own tests if they suspect the state forensics team messed up. Hillary got a (highly likely) rapist off because the state had lost the sample as I recall.

Apparently none of these defense attorney's really believed their client was innocent and paid for independent testing. Were all of the convictions of people who couldn't pony up money to have indedendent testing done.

Speaking of Mamdani, I saw an interesting point being made on X.

Mamdani announced a few months ago he would confiscate slumlord properties.

Then yesterday he announces a rent control freeze. And how do you create more slumlord properties? Freeze the rents but not the expenses.

I'm going to guess that once the city takes over a property and then hands it over to a friendly commie NGO, they'll get a special "rent adjust".

That is an issue for anyone involved in self defense. State labs often do shoddy work and to best counteract state's evidence, it often requires the defense to have its own expert witnesses plus the money to have independent labs check the state lab results. Gun shot residue, GSR, is one of the ways that you can crosscheck distance from the shooting and positions of the shooter and the shootee. Same with blood splatter analysis.

You run into this in complicated motor vehicle cases as well. Immediate relative was a top criminal defense lawyer and the particular case involved made Dateline back in the day. Took a family 600k to keep their kid out of prison which took a three person team of lawyers, dna checking of a condom wrapper that the police did not check at the scene of the murder and sexual assault, and a private investigator to point out the likely culprit lived in the same apartment complex and had been sent to the state pen for a similar crime but was out.

They lost- as if there was ever a question about the executive branch’s supremacy over immigration matters. With legal status ended for TPS groups they are no longer able to receive federal benefits and are automatically subject to removal orders. The state can try to forestall removal but the clock is ticking. The feds already know who these people are because all of them are collecting some type of federal benefit. That gets cut off first. Then the Feds show up if you don’t take their offer of a plane ticket out and $2,600. It’s over. Just a matter of when. They have no more appeals to file.

247 Is there a Christian denomination that provides a satisfying, non-circular, non-obfuscatory explanation for the motivations of God beyond "for His glory" or "because it was in His good pleasure to do so" or "His ways are not our ways"? I'm deadly serious, I would like to know which denomination and what analytical tools they apply in order to make such a determination.

But see, I started out a complete rebel (perhaps minimalist) in my faith. And I believe the Holy Spirit has continually brought me onto plateaus of greater insight into the Lord.

I don't know if it's because I took the advice not to LEAN on my own understanding, and simply, once chastened enough by the HS, let God be God.

Jonah knew things about God, but his end is that he refused to learn what God was trying to teach him at that point. He wanted Jonah to get his point about the Ninivites being "children" who do not know what is right. And Jonah preferred to stir in his hatred of the Ninivites.

Jonah knew that the Lord was forgiving. He hated the Ninivites so much that he did not want to be part of a plan of the Lord's "reconsideration" of the destruction of Nineveh.

"I know you" is a curious key in scripture.

Denmark's Left-Wing Government Plans to Ban the Islamic Call to Prayer, Saying That Parts of Denmark Feel Like "a Suburb of Islamabad"

The left-wing government, huh?

Seems like Islam has burned most of its bridges.


Islamic call to prayer faces ban under Left-wing Danish government

Parts of country feel like 'a suburb of Islamabad', says immigration minister

Denmark's immigration minister has announced plans to ban the Islamic call to prayer, claiming parts of the country felt like "a suburb of Islamabad".

Morten Bødskov, a member of the centre-Left Social Democrats party, said the new government would resume an investigation into the legality of imposing a ban.

"The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops," the minister told news outlet Ritzau. "It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn't be in any doubt whether you've ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you walk around Denmark."

Denmark has previously prided itself as being "the happiest place on earth," according to polls about satisfaction with the country.

In parts of the country, such as Copenhagen, bylaws already forbid the call to prayer being broadcast from loudspeakers in minarets because of strict noise limits.

Mr Bødskov also claimed that a creeping "Islamisation" in Denmark was "taking up too much of the public space".

The Adhan, or call to prayer, is performed five times a day to summon Muslim worshippers to their mosque, traditionally via loudspeakers in minarets.

It is the third time a Danish immigration minister has tried to build a legal framework for banning the call to prayer, after similar attempts by the Social Democrats in 2020 and 2025.

Denmark has imposed some of the toughest migration rules in Europe under Mette Frederiksen, the country's Left-leaning prime minister, who began her third term earlier this month.

Under its so-called "ghetto" laws, Danish authorities are allowed to force migrants to relocate from a neighbourhood if it has too many foreign residents.

In some cases, asylum seekers are required to give up their jewellery and other valuable possessions to cover their housing costs, and they receive no financial support if their claim is rejected.

43 There is no need for an external speaker making a "call to prayer." It is a sign of dominance and has nothing to do with piety. Use your damn phones. And, to be honest, I'm not fond of church bells either. It's invasive.

NYC collectes millions using what they call "sound cameras" by photographing cars making too much noise. And yet, Mosques in NYC can have external speakers doing the prayer calls 5 times a day without a permit.

Regina, Saskatchewan just approved Mosques using external speakers to do their "call to prayer" without input from the residents that are predominately NOT Muslim.

It's a dominance move....invasive and and direct effort to make claim on a society.

50 I hate this bell ringing is the same as the call to prayer argument.

The call to prayer is five times a day, every day of the damn week. It lasts three to five minutes.

Danish church bells are on Sunday before normal services. They often will ring at 8am and sunset too, but that's not a religious tradition. It marks the beginning and end of day.

75 Here's a possible solution. Install large gas turbine generators next to a mosque. Start a test somewhere between 10 and 30 minutes before the call to prayer is expected, and let it run for 60-90 minutes.

Denmark is an oddity as a European nation. IIRC they were one of the first countries to say that socialism wasn't all it was hyped to be, and they preferred to think of themselves as more of a free economy.

Turning the other cheek does not mean submitting to evil.
From a biblical standpoint, "turn the other cheek" is a command from Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:38-39) to reject personal retaliation and refuse to respond to evil with evil.
It does not preclude self-defense or the defense of the helpless.

And so they had fun until someone else reminded them "AI is racist" and pointed to studies showing AI gave unpolitically responses on questions involving race at which point all the same people chimed in to note that of course AI only gives me answers based on the data given to it and obviously the people feeding data to the AI are racist.

The principle of the Lord (I find) is that he has ample reasons for doing what he does, and if you look for them, you can inch closer to feeling their wisdom.

So I summarize God's policy toward humans as such: He would like your love and fellowship, but he'll take your fear (if it restrains harm).

This is what may be illustrated in arguing that fellowship and obedience to Christ is greater than The Law. And how Paul proclaims that we are no longer under the Law once we have committed to fellowshipping with Christ.

Islam had a 'Golden Age' where the wars between states in the Levant and Persia were wiped away and cross fertilization led to some continuation of Roman and Greek science while Europe had its Dark Ages. As you say in a few centuries fundamentalism took over and new fissures appeared and it was pretty much over.

The early part of the Renaissance in Europe was partly fed by these works getting back into circulation there.

Right up until, of course, they get beat up or raped. Then they have lots of facts.

So long as it is just OTHER women who get abused, everything is just fine.

Just as cryptic as (...looks both ways and weighs whether to start this war) ... "glory" for Calvinists.

Why does God do X? For His Glory.
What is to God's Glory? Whatever He wants to do.
What if we don't want to give him glory for what he decides to do? Then he has already chosen to destroy you for His Glory.

Who's glorifying him? The people He chose that would give Him Glory eternally!

I'm not saying Calvinists cannot describe a real condition, I'm just saying the word "glory" describes nothing non-circular. And they need a better "explanation", if they're even going to argue that it can be explained.

I'm not saying Calvinists cannot describe a real condition, I'm just saying the word "glory" describes nothing non-circular. And they need a better "explanation", if they're even going to argue that it can be explained.

Is there a Christian denomination that provides a satisfying, non-circular, non-obfuscatory explanation for the motivations of God beyond "for His glory" or "because it was in His good pleasure to do so" or "His ways are not our ways"?

DHS General Counsel: It's Closing Time. Haitians Don't Have to Go Home, But They Can't Stay Here

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_


NEW: I asked DHS General Counsel James Percival if DHS will allow a grace period for the 300,000+ Haitians who are having their TPS terminated to leave the country, or will arrests and deportations begin immediately?

"It's closing time, they don't have to go home, but they can't stay," Percival said.

He urged the Haitians to use the CBP Home app and take advantage of a $2,600 payment to self deport instead of being subjected to ICE arrest & detention.

@DHSGenCounsel


Immigration promoters claim it's not safe to send them back to Haiti, because the aftershocks of that 1993 earthquake are still being felt.

But this is yet another lie. They didn't come from Haiti. Most of the Haitians let into the United States took shelter in other third-party countries, but then tore up their documentation to make asylum claims in America.

Jessica Vaughan
@JessicaV_CIS

A large share of Haitians (and Cubans & Venezuelans) who were allowed in under Biden did not come from their home countries but from 3rd countries like Chile, Brazil and Spain, where they had residency & work permits. So they can return there if they don't want to go home.

Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_

100% correct. When I was at the Del Rio, TX Haitian bridge camp in 2021, many of the Haitians told me they had been living in Chile & Brazil for years before coming to the US illegally for economic (not safety) reasons. The Haitians were dumping & tearing up their Chilean documents at the river's edge hide this fact from the US so it wouldn't hurt their fraudulent asylum claims.

The idea that all these Haitians came directly from Haiti after an earthquake or assassination is false. Many of them were living happily and safely for years in South America until Biden's open border policies became too attractive to pass up. Others also flew into the US via Biden's CHNV mass parole program which was supposed to be for only 2 year humanitarian parole grants. Of course, most never left.

Happy Friday!

Speaking of furriners in the US...

I watched the US/Turkey soccer game last night.

Not a big soccer guy so I might have this wrong but it looked like the (probably)muslim ref from Algeria had his thumb on the scales for the (probably) muslim Turkey team.

Almost every time the US got momentum near the net, he whistled them for offsides, which often looked pretty questionable.

To be fair though, the TurkaaaaaYYYYs, played with much more enthusiasm and aggression than the US team. They clearly wanted the win while the US was kind of ambivalent to go by their play last night.

Anyway, now that people were paying attention, this was the US Team's chance to show everyone how good the were and up the opinion in the US of Soccer.

Offside is called by a side judge, not the official on the field. They would likely not have influence on the calls unless of course the did the typical islhamic thing and threatened to blow up his family if he didn't conform to demands.

The 4-1 game did that. As did the 2-0 game.

This game while the score wasn’t optimal was about as exciting a game as you’ll see. If someone watched that and walked away thinking soccer is boring, there’s nothing that will ever persuade them otherwise.

Plus this was basically the B team. The best player Pulisic only played about 30 mins and came about a foot from scoring. Dest played like 20 mins. And Balogun was out the entire game.

It was a “meaningless” game so I get the coach not taking chances with injuries. But at the same time going 3-0 would have been a massive morale boost.

Not a big soccer guy so I might have this wrong but it looked like the (probably)muslim ref from Algeria had his thumb on the scales for the (probably) muslim Turkey team.

Almost every time the US got momentum near the net, he whistled them for offsides, which often looked pretty questionable.

To be fair though, the TurkaaaaaYYYYs, played with much more enthusiasm and aggression than the US team. They clearly wanted the win while the US was kind of ambivalent to go by their play last night.

Before he got his current beat with Fox News, he was a local reporter at the Fox station in LA and he was fire then. I used to think of him when I contemplated the utter shitty work of a small-market news station I worked at briefly, where the reporters were always desperate for something to happen. There were tons of stories lying on the ground if they hadn't been so touchy about race, criminality, and the constant backfiring of the locals' soft-headed liberalism.

168 I'll say this much - the public hunger for such a movie is so great that it promoted this steaming pile of crap far beyond what it deserves as a "movie". It's f'in terrible IMHO.

BUT I relished the parts where the deserving parties got what they deserved.

It's no [Death Wish or Law Abiding Citizen, not by a long shot... but it's a start. If anything it's clearing the way for a real filmmaker to make a decent movie.
Posted by: weew at June 26, 2026 12:37 PM (9TspW)

It's not even a Harry Brown, which if you haven't seen it you should.

I watched on X. As a movie, it's not a good movie, as one would expect from a Uwe Boll written and directed film. The stage-setting in the first four minutes, the delivery of some much-needed comeuppance in the last few minutes, and the powers that be giving a bunch of muslim/north african gang rapists a pass because they haven't adjusted to society yet were good moments. But overall a missed opportunity.

While joining the westbound route for Runway 18, the aircraft did not join the approach, deviated from the local airspace and continued flying on a constant heading of 270 degrees.

My great's never really learned English but their kids sure as shit did.

243 Yeah, it is ironic how the French, formidable for a good chunk of history, are now known as surrender monkeys.

I remember a map history of France's wars with Britain. France could make huge inroads on England, but England could manage to hold the area around Calais for a while.

Napolean, who was not a Frenchie, was France's flame-out finale as a significant military power, though.

244 Yes, I want to reiterate - the movie is a masterpiece. It casually mentions lots of harm that the migrants and government are doing and allowing. And it triggers the emotion just right, with the helpless father and broken victims. But it does so with realistic complications.

It is more subtle than Death Wish, but what we face now is not as easy as "3 strikes law" or mandatory minimum sentencing. What we face now is civilization destroying, and to prevent it was need to give up some of our devoutly cherished principles, like equality and freedom, as well as due process.

The rest of the band tried to continue and made money but they were never the same. Doug was unique, he was the band and damn could he drink.

The follow up album isn't NME, but it's not that bad.

But, I believe he died after he was voted out of the group because of his constant drunkenness (not showing up, sloppiness during practice,etc.).

All the same, Hopkins was the genius.

289 it means the Ninth Circuit is done..

for years the Ninth Circuit blocked every TPS termination.. every metering policy.. every turnback order.. judges in San Francisco and D.C. issued injunctions the same week DHS tried to enforce anything..

that was the strategy.. not the law.. the injunctions..

the metering policy was blocked for nearly a decade.. it's back today with Supreme Court backing..

this is the same playbook that ended in 1954 when the court finally gave the executive branch back its immigration authority.. and it took 30 years of litigation to get there..

"the courts cannot stop it" doesn't mean Trump won a policy fight.. it means the legal infrastructure the other side built to slow enforcement for years just got ruled unconstitutional..

Because the press are Party operatives, and they know how to get these statements. They go after them and get them.

Just like they need uniform denouncements of something that one conservativ-ish person said. And that's agenda #1 on all talk shows that demand to get the denouncement out of the way before they can talk about anything else.

They even said that the guy who said that Big Mike was a tranny was an "extension of Trump".

It never goes in the opposite direction for them--and they don't care.

One of the most shocking statements I heard in the past week was Amala, the mulatto chick at Daily Wire (or maybe Prager), saying that, as a former Wokester, she couldn't see herself celebrating Charlie Kirks' assassination, but she knows that she wouldn't have cared, either.

THE MORNING RANT: Apple and the NFL Are Diverging on the “Financialize Everything” Business Fad

A subject I frequently return to is the destructive business trend that some critics refer to as “The Financialization of Everything,” which seeks maximum short-term profit through whatever means, irrespective of the long-term damage it causes.

MGM Resorts and Panera Bread are two vivid examples of companies who did immense damage to their brands by pursuing a strategy of slashing headcount, reducing quality, and gouging customers. As I wrote in a piece last November about their greedy self-harm, “A corporation can target its loyal customers for revenue mining and temporarily increase its profits. It can also slash employee headcount and customer service, thereby reducing labor expense to produce a short-term increase in profits. It can even reduce its product size and cheapen the product’s quality to reduce cost of goods sold, also giving a short-term boost to gross profit. But in every case, these actions tell customers that rather than being valued, the corporation sees customers as marks to be exploited. A great many customers may get hoodwinked once, providing the short-term profit boost that was being sought, but then never come back, thus destroying the company’s long-term prospects. A downward spiral of alienated customers, declining revenue, deteriorating facilities, and degraded reputation ensues.”

Related to this, there are two recent business stories that have caught my attention. On the positive side, Apple may have re-discovered the value of having a loyalty-building “loss leader.” On the negative side, the NFL has reached the “eating its seed corn” level of revenue mining, by forsaking long-time customers and future fans to gain a short-term increase in streaming revenue. Here’s a quick look at both of them:

1) APPLE

An individual named Aakash Gupta explained on X/Twitter how Apple TV+ loses over a billion dollars per year, but rather than being a money-losing problem, Apple TV+ is instead a strategic “loss leader” which draws in users and revenue for its other products. Mr. Gupta wrote:

Apple deliberately built the only money-losing service in its entire company, and it might be the smartest line item they have. Apple TV+ loses over a billion dollars a year.

Music, the App Store, iCloud all print money. TV+ bleeds. And this was the plan: the projections written before launch budgeted $15 to $20 billion in losses across the first decade. Here's the math that makes it rational. Apple cleared $93.7 billion in profit last year. A billion-dollar TV loss runs about 1% of that. For that 1%, Apple gets Severance, Ted Lasso, a wall of Emmys, and a legendary game designer telling his millions of followers he couldn't stop watching their new horror show until 2am.

Netflix spends $18 billion a year on content to own that cultural slot. Apple spends $4.5 billion, eats a $1 billion loss, and buys a version of the same prestige for a fraction of the price. The show is the marketing. Every awards sweep quietly answers the only question that matters to someone choosing between a $1,200 iPhone and a cheaper Android: which company makes things worth your time. TV+ has under 1% of US streaming viewership. By streaming math, that's a flop. By Apple math, it's a rounding error that makes a $3 trillion hardware company feel like culture. Cheapest marketing budget in the building.

Matthew J. Peterson of the Claremont Institute reposted Mr. Gupta’s tweet about Apple TV+ with the advice to “Internalize this.” Good advice. More businesses need to do so.

In fact, that was pretty much the thesis of a piece I wrote for The Blaze which discussed how Buc-ees provides gas at loss-leader pricing and has famously clean restrooms that are free to all. In return, patrons flock in and spend their money on other goods. Buc-ees is also well staffed and pays its employees very well, ensuring that customers receive excellent service and that the store is immaculately maintained. Everything Buc-ees does is contrary to the business school practices that caused so much damage to Panera and MGM Resorts.

2) The NFL

The NFL, which is a monopoly without competition, has shown that it is fully committed to this familiar strategy of short-term revenue-maxing, irrespective of how it affects long-term customer retention.

Clay Travis testified before Congress a few days ago (the transcript is here) about the NFL divvying up its product among numerous subscriber-only streaming services, and how this is a betrayal of the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961. That congressional act from 65 years ago provided professional sports leagues with anti-trust protection and other special privileges. In exchange, the sports leagues were required to sell viewing rights to their product to over-the-air television networks.

What should we expect from a reasonable fan and what should Congress do to ensure he's not being taken advantage of by sports leagues who are exploiting laws put on the books back in 1961, when television was a new technology and its implications were just being tested, to extract more money from the reasonable fan while giving him less in return for his money? I would submit that the absolute bare minimum a reasonable fan should expect is a fair price for a fair product. That bargain no longer exists. I would submit that reasonable fans have been taken advantage of over the past generation, that at some point we all started getting charged way more and getting way less, and I would submit that this is the exact opposite direction that a successful marketplace should move in a capitalistic society. Our sports fan viewing experience is broken when it comes both to affordability and access.

Mr. Travis points out in his testimony that to watch the full slate of NFL games and his favorite MLB baseball team, he must have 12 different subscription services beyond the ever-shrinking number of games that are shown on over-the-air television.

This sparked an interesting online discussion among some friends of this blog:

Hampton Prescott: “Sports leagues used to recognize the set up they had – benefiting from monopoly under the implicit knowledge that they maintained at least a resemblance of accessibility. Now nosebleeds going for $10K & spreading coverage behind multiple paywalls risks blowing the whole thing up.”

George MF Washington: “I can’t believe the number of smart people who don’t see the problem here. I think I watched two, maybe three NFL games last season. Ten years ago I would’ve laughed if you told me that.”

Hampton Prescott: “As you know very well being in the entertainment industry, eventually the reservoir of goodwill dries up if neglected.”

Buck Throckmorton: “’Goodwill’ is an actual Balance Sheet asset that has value. The short-term spike in revenue that comes from degrading a sports league’s customer goodwill is no different than removing equity from a business, running it through the Income Statement & then announcing record Revenue.”

Hampton Prescott: “This is a vital point that the financial engineers frequently miss.”

It’s time to revoke the anti-trust protections of these monopoly sports leagues. Ace himself advocated this point in a recent piece about MLB forcing players to wear uniforms advocating for the LGBT agenda while prohibiting those same players from displaying their Christian faith.

I was buying coffee on a subscription plan, 5# at a time. Subscription plans are the bane of customers, because it is a trend to make them near impossible to manage (resulting in too much product purchased), and impossible to cancel.

I got shorted near half a pound on an order and tried to cancel, with no clear option to do so. I went full BBB/AG threat, and thankfully the owner quickly cancelled my subscription and apologized.

Think the problem is that nowadays, companies don't even want to deal with customers. Go to our website, interact with a chatbot, call our 800# and interact with an automated system (press 1 for yes, blah blah blah).
IF you manage to actually come in contact with a live human being, it's a 99% chance it's a call center on the other side of the world, and a representative who reads a script quickly, with a heavy accent.

American companies have, for the most part, ditched the entire concept of customer service. They don't want to keep us, they just want us in a position where it's them or nothing.

51 This is a really good post. Even five years ago, I watched a lot of NFL. Today I don’t even check scores. Ten years or so, I watched NBA, at least the playoffs. Fifteen years ago, I’d follow an NBA team or two. Now I don’t watch any of it. I never followed MLB unless my local team was in the playoffs.

I’ve quit watching all US professional sports. I’ve quit watching college basketball. I watch college football and European soccer. I used to watch Formula One, but it moved to streaming only. I won’t buy streaming while I already pay the parent networks via satellite service.

If I can get streaming services from a limited point of sale (I don’t want five or more subs), I’ll drop satellite. There’s a limit on what I’ll spend, and to whom. Not because I can’t afford to, but because I don’t want multiple providers with duplicate content.

78 Hoping this is relevant: 🤷‍♀️

"That congressional act from 65 years ago provided professional sports leagues with anti-trust protection and other special privileges. In exchange, the sports leagues were required to sell viewing rights to their product to over-the-air television networks."

Comcast and Verizon Fios utilize itemized surcharges, including Regional Sports Network (RSN) fees and Broadcast TV fees, which add ~ $20 to ~ $45 to a monthly bill on top of advertised rates. These are not government-mandated fees, but rather pass-through costs that providers charge to carry local sports networks.

For basic TV packages via Comcast, these fees are non-negotiable, heavily inflating the total price of their service. package. For Verizon Fios, some higher-tiered plans or custom packages may waive the RSN fee or the separate "Sports Pass."

Reportedly, the money is primarily funneled to the sports franchises and regional networks, rather than staying with Comcast or Verizon.

Cable and fiber providers use these surcharges as direct "pass-through" costs to recoup the massive carriage fees demanded by Regional Sports Networks (RSNs) & local broadcast channels.

It's all too much.

86 A corporation can target its loyal customers for revenue mining and temporarily increase its profits. It can also slash employee headcount and customer service, thereby reducing labor expense to produce a short-term increase in profits. It can even reduce its product size and cheapen the product’s quality to reduce cost of goods sold, also giving a short-term boost to gross profit. But in every case, these actions tell customers that rather than being valued, the corporation sees customers as marks to be exploited. A great many customers may get hoodwinked once, providing the short-term profit boost that was being sought, but then never come back, thus destroying the company’s long-term prospects. A downward spiral of alienated customers, declining revenue, deteriorating facilities, and degraded reputation ensues.”

TBH... it's way better than FOX. The camera work is top notch, the race call is on point, and the fluff pieces don't cringe as bad as FOX either.

But... it's a subscription (Prime) that many probably already have.

Sure, sometimes it's on a regular channel, but IIRC, there were bowl games last year that were only on pay channels.

Not everyone is a sports superfan, and an extra pay channel just to catch some games on a fall Saturday is not in the budget.

They are monetizing the shizz out of this, yet making the appeal much more selective. You've made the choice: either be a superfan who invests 100's/1000's of dollars per year to watch the games vs. not watching, stop caring because it's too much work to hunt down if it might be free this week.

The product on the track declined and the levels of fun in the campgrounds was diminished with crackdowns on DJ's, live music and such. Now, there were f*cking idiots acting like f*cking idiots, sure, but when women are sitting around laughing and having fun at 2AM on a Friday and the cops come up, something is wrong.

We've never been back. Driving by the track on the Thursday before race weekend, the campgrounds are MAYBE 1/4 full.

181 Sure, customers get apple tv at a subsidized price ... subsidized by themselves, by overpaying for every other apple product. The losses on the tv content are accounting tricks and gimmicks.

Don't get me wrong, I like apple products and think it's a great company. And unlike many on our side, I think companies should maximize profits. They don't owe their customers anything.

The reverse is true too: the customers don't owe companies anything, and are free to leave for a competitor or just drop the product/service altogether.

If companies like panera bread want to go after short-term profits or gains, so what? That's their business. If their customers don't like it, the customers are free to take their money elsewhere.

We got "slammed" by an electric utility (or was it a phone company?) in PA almost 30 years ago. It took 3 *months*, and a threat to call the PUC, to get them to stop billing us. Imagine my dismay when we moved back to CO and that company bought out the one that we had started using there.

I watched the US/Turkey soccer game last night.

Not a big soccer guy so I might have this wrong but it looked like the (probably)muslim ref from Algeria had his thumb on the scales for the (probably) muslim Turkey team.

Almost every time the US got momentum near the net, he whistled them for offsides, which often looked pretty questionable.

To be fair though, the TurkaaaaaYYYYs, played with much more enthusiasm and aggression than the US team. They clearly wanted the win while the US was kind of ambivalent to go by their play last night.

243 Apple makes crappy hardware and can't design a user interface to save their life. They used to be the exact opposite. Top notch hardware they would stand behind and intuitive interfaces that if you walked up and didn't immediately understand just by looking at it Steve Jobs would beat the designers with a crowbar.

No more. They've transitioned to throw away status symbols that people will still scramble to buy. I don't see anyway that will ever change. The quality and profit margin has been completely uncoupled and apple is progressing the way that uncoupled control systems normally do.

244 The gaming industry is doing this self-strangulation as well, killing IPs that don't/won't hit arbitrary profit goals - while still being profitable - in the short term. Destiny 2 is a current example, a 15 year IP with loyal fans being put into maintenance while hitting historic player counts in preference for Marathon, a stumbling un-impressive extraction shooter (a genre that is fading) with less than 1/10th the engagement. Across the industry you had Activision threatening old guard founders of Blizzard if their projects didn't hit an arbitrary profit milestone by firing half their team and blaming them personally. Same for Microsoft gutting a projects and projected profitable ready-to-release products because it didn't make ENOUGH for them. It's crazy, and they are eating themselves with this short term madness.

It's like that stupid gimmick social media rebrand that IHOP did saying they were burgers now. That completely flopped and the company would rather we all forget about that unpleasantness. Keep doing what people like because you're new fancy idea to pull in new customers is most certainly crap. Because marketing people don't build things.

248 The idea that I'd be more inclined to buy an iPhone over a vastly more affordable Android because I like a TV show made by a division connected in name only is the silliest thing I've heard today.

My 2024 Moto G Power was under $150 new. You can get a lower end version for as little as $40 by buying a Tracphone package from Walmart or supermarket. After a few months with the carrier you can transfer to any other compatible carrier. Has a microSD slot, so storage is as much as you choose to buy, even after the purchase of the phone. (I added 256GB to mine.) For most people, these units are plenty powerful enough and nothing remotely comparable is offered by Apple in terms of price. You can get an outdated used iPhone but then get to put up with Apple increasingly locking you out of the latest features.

251 The NFL is doing the same thing that killed boxing. Boxing used to be broadcast on TV fairly regularly - I remember watching Leonard, Hagler, Ali, Hearns, etc. on broadcast channels. It was the rare big fight (Leonard-Hearns, Ali-Foreman, etc.) that was closed circuit and that wasn't broadcast live (although usually by the weekend it would show up on something like Wide World of Sports).

But then, with the advent of Pay-Per-View, promotors started putting more and more fights behind a paywall, while boxing on broadcast TV declined. And along with that, so did its popularity. Not enough people will pay PPV prices to watch fights between a couple of so-so fighters or even a big name fighter taking on somebody who's not that well known. So pretty soon, boxing became out-of-sight, out-of-mind for a critical mass of people, and its popularity declined precipitously.

The NFL is walking right down the same path, with the hubris of thinking it can't happen to them. But the inertia they have now will eventually fade if they keep trying to extract more dollars from the fans.

255 This process is older than I am...
The Big Four American automakers in the late 50s and early 60s had essentially a monopoly in the US and market control over the whole world, used the UAW to eliminate minor competitors in the US and allowed their quality to go to hell.
Several American beer manufacturers of the same time frame, notably Schlitz and Pabst, sacrificed quality for the bottom line, and wound up with miniscule market shares.

256 I finally recognized the NFL for what it was during the strike, back in the 1980s. You may recall that actual fans were an after thought during that debacle. I decided then that I'd care for them exactly as much as they cared for me. Once I stopped caring, I stopped watching. It's been at least 35 years since I watched an entire NFL game. My only regret is that I can't cut them off twice.

Long ago and far away...

When my folks lived in the Hill Country, and we would visit them for the weekend or a holiday,

we often couldn't leave, because of our jobs, until around 8 or 9 at night which was fine because the traffic was light and once you got into the countryside the roads were nearly abandoned as we rolled through between 12-3am.

Anyway, all of the small towns we drove, because of their minimal street lighting had streets that looked very similar to this.

A few days ago I was visiting a friend in Cedar Rapids, IA -- and we went to The National Czech & Slovak Museum & Library there.

Pretty interesting history, but the most amazing thing was that they literally picked up and moved that 3 million pound building to higher ground and a new foundation (in 2011) (11 feet higher) following a horrible 500-year flood of the Cedar River that left it half-submerged (destroying many exhibits and artifacts -- while of course destroying many other structures downtown).

Quite the engineering feat; they had a short film of the event, but didn't show how they initially raised the building before moving and reinstalling it.

There was a sizable open area surrounded by the farmhouse, garage, chicken coop, milking barn and various other outbuildings. All us cousins would set up a tin can near the pole light in the middle of this area and a rousing game of "Kick the Can" would take place. Hiding in the dark shadows around the perimeter waiting for the opportunity to dash in and kick the can, releasing the captured players before the one who was "It" could beat you to the can and count "one two three on Seamus" thus capturing me.

184 "What did you learn at Ace's today?"

A barn quilt is a large, painted replica of a traditional fabric quilt block, typically made from plywood or composite aluminum and mounted on the exterior of barns, houses, or other structures. These squares, which usually measure 4x4 feet or 8x8 feet, feature bold, solid-color geometric patterns like the Ohio Star or Bear’s Paw designed to be visible from a distance.

While the modern movement began in 2001 in Ohio as a tribute to quilting heritage, the tradition has roots in 17th-century Central European immigrants who painted symbolic designs on barns to identify their farms or signal safe havens. Today, they serve as a form of Americana folk art that preserves regional history, honors family legacies, and promotes rural tourism through organized quilt trails across the United States and Canada.

195 [From the Smithsonian Institute's .edu website on this painting:]

"These (1946) images of lonely farm buildings symbolized traditional farm life and reflected Ault's desire to isolate himself from others.

He often incorporated religious imagery into his works, and here, a single bright light marks the center of a cross formed by the power lines.

But the bleak landscape and vast expanse of darkness threaten to overwhelm, and this painting perhaps reflects the artist's depressed state of mind."

I do love the disconnect on data centers among the left.

The elites want them because they see $$$. The line level folks though see green space getting destroyed and massive new energy sinks - things they were told are bad.

I do expect in the next couple of years almost the whole of the left will be onboard with data centers though because the people controlling the left want them and the left is very heirarchical.

"Today, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling allowing Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to be canceled or expire.
"Today’s decision is a legal decision. As I have stated in the past, the policy to remove these individuals from this country is a mistake.
"As a result of today’s ruling, the over 10,000 Haitians who have been living in Ohio (mostly in the Springfield area) legally through TPS will now be here illegally and will be subject to immediate deportation. This also means that while these Haitians were working and contributing to our community and economy yesterday, today it is now illegal to employ them.

"The situation in Haiti could hardly be much worse. The violent gangs run most of the country. The government barely functions. And, the economy is in shambles.
"Further, our federal government has an advisory against traveling to Haiti, and our Federal Aviation Administration prohibits U.S. carriers from flying there because of the danger to planes of being shot at by the gangs.
"But, more importantly, changing the immigration status of these individuals is not in the best interest of the United States nor Ohio."

The Morning Report — 6/ 26 /26

MAODani.jpg


Good morning kids. The scope of the disaster in Venezuela, in the wake of a devastating earthquake staggers the imagination.

Look at the despair and the sorrow of the people unable to rescue their injured loved ones from beneath the tons and tons of rubble, some of them calling out, dying, in homes transforming by the hour into tombs. . . There's no search and rescue, there's no ambulances, there's no hospitals, there's no fire trucks, and yes, fires are breaking out nightmarishly enough -- Venezuela's health care lies in ruins - nor is there an organized effort to dig out.

Socialism has well and truly taken over in that country, and as this leftish but still good essayist in the Caracas Chronicles notes, one of the effects is that the state has abandoned its basic functions of government. . .

Since at least 2022, the Venezuelan state has increasingly adopted a hands-off approach to governance. This shift, shaped by a post-socialist form of laissez-faire economic policy, reduced state control over large parts of the economy and contributed to a modest but visible revival in business activity. In many ways, the tate appeared to retreat from major areas of public administration while preserving absolute control over others, particularly the security apparatus and the machinery of censorship and political repression.

And yet the very system of government that resulted in making a natural disaster into a dystopian nightmare is seemingly on the march in New York City and perhaps across America as a whole.

Young urban voters across the country are flocking to the hip new politics of urban socialism.
Across urban America, the socialists are on a roll.
This week, all three democratic socialist candidates backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their primaries for the U.S. House in deep blue New York City. You might be tempted to dismiss the latest victories on the grounds that New York City — which recently elected Mayor Zohran “Warmth of Collectivism” Mamdani — is America’s designated socialism containment zone. But the far-left’s momentum is by no means unique to The Empire State. Arguably more important are the democratic socialists’ victories in some of America’s other largest cities, representing a realignment where the urban, educated base of the Democratic Party increasingly sees the once-poisonous s-word in a candidate’s biography as a credential rather than a liability.

And yet, despite that, I give you this glimmer of hope.

Political scientist John Sides recently dropped a data-heavy report detailing a massive vibe shift that has left the professional panic-mongers utterly bewildered. For decades, the media smugly preached the gospel of the "inevitable liberal consensus." The theory was simple: as old conservatives died off, the enlightened youth would usher in a progressive utopia of gender-neutral communes and government-mandated weed dispensaries. It was a nice little fantasy for the faculty lounge, but the data shows it has officially crashed at high speed into the brick wall of reality. . .

. . . The beautiful irony in all of this is that the left’s aggressive push to colonize every corner of American life has utterly backfired. By turning every major institution—from universities to comic books to Fortune 500 companies—into a humorless, hyper-woke HR department, they did the unthinkable: they made conservatism cool again.

So, as we approach America's 250th birthday whither our future? Will the era of Donald Trump be merely a one-off last desperate gasp of the last remnants of the saner children of the Greatest Generation to stave off disaster or will it be the harbinger of American revival?

As Tina Turner sang it "Will our story shine like a light, or end in the dark?!"

With that I bid you,

Have a great weekend,

In this particular case, it is foreign sourced and indoctrinated and indebted college graduates are lapping the idea of free shit up. It isn't really a popular movement from the bottom up but rather an affectation of a particular subset of big city liberals turning leftist because they won't do as well as their parents.

Probably yes but also in the context that every Socialist government inevitably becomes ridden with cronyism, dysfunction, and outright theft of public taxes. No socialist government actually 'works', it can only exist as long as wealth in society is there to be looted to pay off the masses for a time. And inevitably, the biggest beneficiaries of such governments are the El Presidente and their governing circle where they loot the public treasury and take bribes (Petro, Maduro, Morales, Lula, every past Mexican President, etc. have all become fabulously wealthy from that).

104 In all seriousness though, dehydration works differently for elderly and is a real problem in the hot seasons because a) lots of them are on diuretics for blood pressure, etc., b) elderly are often forgetful about fluid intake, and c) UTIs are aided by even moderate dehydration and you get into a vicious cycle, d) they don't realize that with age, comes greater sensitivity to matters like dehydration.

111 There is nothing bewildering about the shift toward socialism. It only appears to be happening rapidly in the sense that the flush of blossoms of on a cherry tree appear in a matter of days.

The desiccated monkey skeletons of the boomer Left spent 50 years in power, governing as a mafia that jealously clutched their political monopoly with increasingly bony old claws. At the same time, they weaponized cultural and educational institutions to carefully create the hyper-Left Monster Babies that pushed their opposition into a position of submission, and bullied the general population into accepting their gangster rule as somehow "moderate."

Their rule was so long and so total and so successful, that these Monster Babies are a flat-out supermajority of people under 50. Time is a cruel master, and the boomers are making their shambolic exit from the public arena, leaving these Jacobins as their only possible successors.

The tree is blooming right now. You'll hate the taste of its fruit.

A lot of Lebanese Christians have left the country and I'd imagine the birth rate for them is below replacement. They are perfectly ok with Israel taking out Hezbollah but aren't going to stick their necks out to do it themselves. They got burned in the 80's for that. Same with the Druze and even Sunnis.

The Shi'a percentage of Lebanon was nearly 50 percent last time I checked and they are predominately in the Southern part of Lebanon and some precincts of Beirut. That is the fount of Hezbollah.

Many units are mini-split heat pumps. The temperature delta in the winter vs summer makes summer cheaper to cool than warming in the winter.

One would think with summer and more hours of daylight, that solar power would easily cover the heat-pump's use.

I don’t think it’s due to envy; rather the reason Euro governments (and their controlled media outlets) are against AC is because they have *never* built their energy supply close to what American users take for granted.

If even half the people there had AC and used it, they would easily crash the grid. I believe that a lot of the “global warming” nonsense is just an endlessly repeated excuse which the governments use to shield their incredible incompetence.

Socialism is always the refuge of the lazy, mediocre, and envious, among us even back to the time of Aesop. Ant and Grasshopper is illustrative tale of the mindset.

So you get some wannabe elites that are locked out of the current power structure, they figure out promising something for nothing will get votes to get into power and the lazy/disaffected to vote for them. The funny thing as society gets poorer as the new 'socialists' go quite well in improving their personal financial conditions.

The positive side - it’s only “blooming” in those portions of the country that are dying, which may not be apparent if you’re unfortunate enough to still live in those areas.

It’s certainly not the case in Texas or Florida. You might say “well those are just two states” but given recent trends, it is not a stretch to say that within about 20 years, half of the wealth of the entire country is going to be based in those 2 states (wealth moves to where it is treated well). And places like Cali, NY, and Illinois will just be fading cesspools of decay and abandonment.

That is because most people grow up in a socialist economy--e.g. the family. The parents work to provide for the kids (From each according to his abilities) and those kids consume a lot of what their parents worked for (to each according to their needs). The missing formula is love but one cannot 'love' innumerable masses, it simply does not scale. A form of socialism works in a family because the parents love (or should) their children.

It doesn't work very well as you scale up-unless you are something like a monastery/abbey, the military, or some other community united around one purpose with enforceable discipline ejecting those not willing to live like that.

212 I'm willing to try socialism here in America.

The class divide has grown too large and the effects of inflation have made basic things like purchasing a house and raising a family, the underpinnings of society, out of reach for both my generation and the generations behind me.

Socialism is not a good system, but the government has failed to important anti-trust laws, usury laws, and control the printing of fiat currency that has left the old generation wealthy, a handful of corporations in control of everything, and mercantilism is rampant.

The failure of the American government to properly administrate the capitalist system here has left us with little alternative but to turn to more heavy handed governmental systems and the seizure of privately held capitol.

Family takes the selfishness of individuals and directs it into the ones you love, so you are selfishly protecting and caring for your loved ones. As you wrote, that DOES NOT scale up to entire populations, because, again, people, at their very core, are selfish and lazy.
Capitalism, despite it's flaws, leverages this selfishness to positive ends. You don't want you or your family to starve, so you work to eat. You want stuff other folks have (yes, envy is a sin), but to get it, you have to work harder and provide goods and services others want. Socialism has none of these incentives.

You're making the very common mistake of viewing Socialism in a strictly economic context rather than as the total human-behavior reconstitution and control project that it conceals within its promises but always becomes.

243 I ran across an interesting bit of Aztec mythology.

They have a story about a goddess of vegetation kidnapped by an underworld god causing the world to have seasons.

Now, obviously this invites parallels to Persephone from Greek myth and while the Persephone story has parallels all over the middle east those cultures had ties with Greece so that isn't surprising.

But the Aztecs? Supposedly the American Indians came over 10-30k years ago and came from north east Asia so they shouldn't have shared myths and for example the Mongolian people do NOT have a Persephone myth.

Yep. It is a function of college educated nowadays and even there, a lot of them have degrees that simply do not help with getting jobs and they are indebted up to their eyeballs to get those prestige degrees.

We have been pumping out too many degrees and devalued college credentials. And those credentials have been watered down because colleges wanted to keep their students paying tuition and get even more of them.

I can kind of sympathize with the plight of college age yutes--they were promised all kinds of bullshit from their parents, corporations, K12, society, and colleges. Like the college degree will open the key to the career you want.

The truth is that colleges in their best incarnation were grounded in teaching students how to think. As they became more watered down in the Humanities into socialist indoctrination camps, the practical degrees sprung up--business, comp sci, STEM, etc. etc.

And those in turn were watered down, turned into socialist bootcamps, etc.

So an indebted kid with credentials, a massive chip on their shoulder from socialist indoctrination from education, and a disdain for manual work but an instant desire for an executive position, come out and find out the world does not work that way.

Don't go to college because you want a 'job' that pays well without working. For many males, they would do better to work at whatever jobs rather than go straight to college anyway. I promise you that colleges will take your money any time you are ready to spend it.

There is a funny aspect to this.

Imagine some popular Euro director were to make a film about a young Muslim in Gaza who sees the Muslims around him killed by "Jewish colonizers" and then reacts with "anti-colonial" violence. It would win awards and be the talk of Europe.

But Jews have lived in Israel for all of recorded history with Muslims showing up much later...as colonizers.

One was "Sinn und Grenzen der exakten Wissenschaft". This was an opinion / philosophical piece which Planck was floating to other journals. Naturwissenschaften at the time didn't care. Springer, now, cares.

Remember, faults already exist, already have tension. And Venezuela has a history of large quakes. A 200 year delay is not unheard of for faults in some areas (Cascadia has a 300 to 500 year repeat on its massive subduction quakes)...I wonder what archaeoseismology has been done in the region to substantiate the frequency of occurrence...

AI is probably going to eliminate a lot of those white collar jobs currently going to college educated females. And government has reached a point where a lot of the blue states are overextended as is Uncle Sam--those gubmint air conditional easy jobs are likely to decline in the coming years.

Too many young women are going to college now in quantity as colleges, will incur massive debts, and come out with declining job prospects. E.g. teaching jobs going away due to declining enrollments (the baby dearth), governments retrenching on employment, service industries using AI instead of new hires, fewer DEI and HR jobs, less requirement for paperwork jobs, etc. etc. And that means female voting will start to decline as well. Voting rates in genera decline as poverty increases because of personal economic instability. Women are just a bit behind the males in the economic shift is all.

The males willing to do hard manual trade labor will still get jobs as AI doesn't build houses, doesn't dig ditches, doesn't redo the wiring, fix the cars, etc.

And the reason is too many college degrees for fewer jobs that need them.

You can't inherit "The World My Parents Lived In" any more than you can inherit your father's skill as a welder. If you're patient and diligent, and you let your father teach you how to weld without being a snotty know it all shit and telling him he actually sucks at welding, you can have that. But you don't get to sit in a filthy apartment dirt poor complaining that your father didn't give you a job as a master welder in a gift-wrapped box for your eighteenth birthday just because that's what he was.

DeWine announced late Wednesday that he had vetoed House Bill 472, which expanded the strict photo ID requirement Ohio has had for voting since 2023.

The Republican governor issued an unusually lengthy statement explaining his decision. He said the requirement would pose an unwieldy challenge for voters without providing any real benefit."

Eh, useful in some contexts but not the way people usually employ them. Shorthand heuristic for life experiences around events differ by generations. But the danger in any statistical model is to attribute all the causal relationships to just one variable--e.g. the Boomers are the source of all evils. Or that the Greatest Generation was.

Each generation has to live with past mistakes of their ancestors and yet confront whatever challenges exist in their time. Or simply roll over and die because the next generation will simply step over their corpse on the way to the future.

The most pernicious tendency for a lot of folks is sunk costs and looking backward to figure out who to blame. It is far better to look forward and what to fix today than marinating in grievances.

That gets you stuck in the trap that most of the world has adopted. Historical grievances become destructive.

Now that I have it set up , it's going to work just fine for doing basic office tasks, surfing the web, watching media. An interesting feature of Samsung tablets is the DEX functionality has it allows for multiple resizable windows on the desktop. Essentially turning a tablet into a rudimentary PC. A less interesting feature of Samsung tablets is all there baked in software that you can't delete. At least you can hide them. The last move was to use Microsoft's Launcher to get the desktop set up exactly the way I want. I may have got lucky and found something that can replace my aging Surface Go 2 which has become basically useless because the battery lass about one hour.

We have a guy here in Sussex who drives around in a beater truck towing a trailer who collects metal for recycling. Washers, dryers, stoves, dishwashers and almost anything smaller composed of metal.

He makes money performing that service. No fee, just pile your offerings at the end of your driveway.

How do we enter God's presence ? If we waited until we're sinless and perfect, we would never go in. God's faithful love opens the door for us. Without his mercy and kindness, we'd be unfit to approach him. Each day, ask God to fill you with joy inwardly and surround you with love outwardly ( 5:11-12. Then you will be able to approach him boldly.

39 Out here, you can put lawn and brush trimmings in the cart or bag them. There's no limit on the number of lawn/leaf bags you can put out either. One fall, I had at least 20 bags filled after the leaves came off the oak trees.

I do miss the days when we could put them in barrels and burn them, though. On a cool, crisp fall day the smoke from the oak and pecan leaves and limbs was something to enjoy.

Last night we watched the 1947 Gothic The Red House with Edward G. Robinson as a farmer with a secret that is quietly driving him mad. "A Gothic," you say? "What's a Gothic?" My answer, at least at this hour: "Like pr0n and many other things in life, you just know it when you see it."

42 "Gothic," says Wiki, "is characterised by an environment of fear, the threat of supernatural events, and the intrusion of the past upon the present. . . . The atmosphere is typically claustrophobic, and common plot elements include vengeful persecution . . . and murder. . . . Other characteristics . . . can include unnatural echoes or silences, the discovery of obscured family ties . . . nocturnal landscapes, [and] remote locations. . . ."

That sounds a lot like The Red House.

45 Last night Linda wanted to give little Dagny a treat to see if she liked it. So we locked Stirling up in a carrier to give her a chance; he'd have stolen the treat if he were free. Remarkably, he went right into his carrier, which he hadn't seen in a while, without any trouble.

Dagny didn't like the treat. We let him out, and darned if she didn't trot over and go into the carrier herself.

He gobbled the new treat, and Dagny got some of the crunchy ones she loves. Everybody was happy.

We are nearing the end of the Krebs' Mazda 3 having expired saga. We will donate it over to a veterans' charity on Tuesday and it will be towed away. Its demise came about because a front engine mount broke and said engine took a nosedive toward the radiator. I suspect that failure was a delayed outcome from a T-bone collision with another vehicle just over 39 months ago.

It was a painful end to the car for which a goodly number of its 169,000 miles and seventeen years had been spent in service of my scout troop. It was the "Wawa car", as I usually would stop at that convenience store on one leg or the other of our weekend camping trips over the course of my seven years as Scoutmaster (and during all the five years before I took on that responsibility).

Thanks for the important ways you serve the scouting community in that way. I remember you telling us of some of the interesting activities you had done in the past with them.

Our church patriarch who had no boys but wonderful daughters did scouting for years. He told me they referred
to him as Mr. ____ ( instead of by his first name) _ for decades afterwards, and when we had his memorial service some wonderful men travelled from states at quite a distance because they had so appreciated his leadership.

79 @65/FenelonSpoke: "How did your last day go?"

Morning was good, got some gift cards from kids/parents and the kids were happy it was the last day.

Afternoon: Kids arrive at the buses bouncing off the walls because the teachers all had last-school-day parties with cake and other sugary treats, so when they hit the buses, they were practically vibrating.

And of course this was the day that traffic decided to crank the stupid dial all the way to 10 out of 10. It was kinda nuts, but I got 'em all home safe, and managed to avoid collisions. The car drivers were all squirrel-brained, I swear. (You know how squirrels dart out in front of your vehicle at the last second even though they can see you coming for hundreds of yards? That, with cars.)

Then I got back to the bus yard and they had staff out directing drivers to park in specific places as tightly as they could next to each other so we could fit them all (all the buses come back from drivers that normally keep them at home, and we have a pretty full yard in THAT scenario.) I went back around 9 PM to take a peek and wow they're in there like sardines!

Anyway, I am glad I have a day off after that three-ring circus!

102 I'm making a blueberry pancake loaf and want to put a crumb topping using nutmeg instead of cinnamon.

My thoughts are, taste often. Crumb toppings taste great as you’re mixing them. If it turns out that nutmeg is too sharp on its own for your purposes, add just enough cinnamon to soften it. If you’re specifically trying to avoid cinnamon, ginger might work; but a touch of salt can also soften sharp spices. And so can an undetectable amount of cayenne (older recipes often call for powdered hot pepper in amounts that do not add any hot pepper flavor, but do cause the other flavors to mix better).

Also, always listen to the Galloping Gourmet:

“You’ve got fifty-two thousand taste buds. Let them all rear up and beg.”

I guess that the tech billionaires whose focus has shifted to energy-sucking AI data centers don’t align with the green energy extremists. Wouldn’t want to fund traffic-disrupting f#ckwits while there’s still $’s to be made.

128 104> Climate Change only happens during weekend binge drinking time.

So if you can afford the vig of buying prepared drinks from taverns and restaurants, you are less likely to get drunk and violent during heat waves.

Solid logic there - an extension of Black's Can't Get ID. Stupid people don't have the abstract reasoning to load up on booze before lunch on Friday. Then again, this might be targeting the paycheck to liquor store direct pipeline.

In either case, Muslims can proudly say that they have always been soldiers for the environment; weekend abstinence is why traditionally Muslim habitats are known for year round pleasant weather.

Now if they can make a law prohibiting child rape and tie it to Climate Change prevention.

Legend

87-year-old makes hole-in-one, takes legendary photo

HLmLe1qXUAAgopj.jpg

Congrats to an 87-year-old man named Lee McFarland for making a hole-in-one—but also for taking one of the best hole-in-one photos ever.

McFarland made his ace at Chippewa Golf Club just outside Toledo earlier this week by knocking in a driver from 135 yards out. And did he celebrate his impressive accomplishment? Your damn right he did.

A beer AND a cigarette in hand by the time you pluck your golf ball out of the hole is amazing stuff. That guy was ready to rock.

And apparently, he kept up the good play as well. As you can see, Lee also shot his age.

45 years ago

This one deserves a rewatch. Been a long time for me. How about you -- favorite scenes or lines?

***

Staying with movies, must be time for a Tombstone rewatch. Two different articles hit my feed recently.

doof-tombstone.jpg

The good one - Film Quote of the Day: The 'Tombstone' Line That Became Timeless Wisdom About Life's Uncertainty

I'm sure as writers we all feel the pressure of The Big Scenes—and we know when we're coming to them. Usually, they approach like a landmark in the writing process, if you visualize writing a script like traveling the Oregon Trail. You have to reach them and make sure they count.

These scenes are usually huge, pivotal character moments or the big confrontations. Sometimes they are dialogue-heavy, which I find is the bigger challenge than writing straight action. What are characters communicating in the silence between words? What are the minuscule differences between their potential word choices? How can you make sure it's both emotional and realistic?

That's why I love looking at scenes like this one from the end of Tombstone, in which Doc Holliday delivers one of the film's biggest gut-punches of dialogue: "There's no normal life, Wyatt. There's just life."

Val Kilmer was one of my favorite actors. This is a great example of why.


Now for the not so good article. Some AWFL writer from ScreenRant takes umbrage with Tombstone when viewed through modern day woke lenses.

8 Reasons It's Hard To Watch Tombstone Today

Whether it’s Val Kilmer’s legendary delivery of "I’m your huckleberry" or the sheer, kinetic energy of its iconic shootout, Tombstone feels like an immovable object in our collective pop culture consciousness. Who among us doesn't have a soft spot for this movie? It is a quintessential crowd-pleaser that demands to be watched on a loop, forever cemented as a high-water mark for the genre.

However, the nature of the movie—and the culture that consumes it—is inherently fluid. As the years have marched on, rewatching Tombstone through a contemporary lens reveals that even the most beloved classics are not immune to the passage of time. Looking back at the movie in 2026, it becomes clear that its status as a perfect western is complicated by evolving standards in storytelling, character depth, and the ways in which historical narratives are presented on screen.

This is not a condemnation of what Tombstone achieves, but rather an exploration of why certain elements that once felt like standard genre conventions now land with a bit of friction. By examining these aspects, we aren't trying to tear down a legend, but rather engaging with the reality of how our perspective shifts three decades later. Let’s look at the elements of this legendary film that make it a bit tougher to process through modern eyes.

You really need to read this whole thing for yourself. It's a hoot.

Female Characters Suffer From Lack Of Agency

Outdated Tough Guy Tropes Feel Cartoonish Today

Historical Accuracy Takes A Backseat To Myth

Those are just a few of the AWFL problems with Tombstone. Go read the article for the rest. And be sure to check out the comments - some of them could have been written by Hordelings!

That reminded me of a joke.....

It was a sunny Saturday morning on the course, and I was beginning my pre-shot routine on #1, visualizing my upcoming shot, when a voice came over the clubhouse loudspeaker.

"Would the gentleman on the Ladies Tee back up to the Men's Tee, please!!"

I was still deep in my routine, seemingly impervious to the interruption. Again the announcement: "Would the MAN on the WOMEN'S Tee kindly back up to the Men's Tee."

I finally stopped, turned, looked through the clubhouse window directly at the person with the mike and shouted back, "Would the person in the clubhouse kindly shut up and let me play my second shot?!"

I like the movie, but it's depiction of basic training is completely unrealistic. Basic is designed to chew up smart asses like Bill Murray's character and spit them out, then either mold what's left into soldiers, or get rid of them. Also, the Sgt Hulka character was too old and too nice to be a DI.

101 I missed Hope Sandoval's 60th birthday yesterday, so here's a delightful five minutes of dream pop from when she was younger:

Mazzy Star - Flowers in December [4K Remaster] - 2 Meter Sessions (1996)
https://youtu.be/tN0_6yhKfOc

It is bittersweet to watch old videos like this. The three men there have all died of cancer: drummer Keith Mitchell on May 14, 2017, violinist William Cooper [Glenn] on March 16, 2001, and composer and guitarist Dave Roback on February 24, 2020, at which point the band was finally over for good. (They had sporadic revivals over the years until then.)

After the completion of their third studio album Among My Swan (1996), bassist Jill Emery stepped away from music to focus on the visual arts, and now prefers to be mostly known as a painter. But AFAIK, lyricist and lead vocalist Hope Sandoval and keyboardist Suki Ewers are still trucking along, occasionally doing music still.

It won't hardly steer to the right at all. Left drive wheel not getting any drive, forwards or back. Limp it back up to the shop, get into it, and discover a broken part. I'm going to call it a fulcrum strut; I don't know its proper name. Part of the weird cone-and-cup drive used by Dixon for many years. It's a 5/16" steel rod, with one end threaded a long way for 5/16-24 NF, and the other end has a 2 inch long slug of 1/2" rod welded to it, threaded in 1/2-20 NF. The weld had broken. Bad Peon weld, it only lasted ten years! So I cleaned up the damaged area, made a new weld, and reinstalled it. Mower back in service. Yay!

Of course she didn't and that show always left a bad taste in my mouth.

128 There is an obscure bit of historical accuracy in Tombstone. It was never determined how Ringo died. He was found by an oak tree, dead with a gunshot wound to the head, possibly a suicide.

In the movie Earp was told to meet Ringo by an oak tree, Holiday and Ringo had their confrontation by that oak tree, Holiday says, "Why Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave," and then Holiday tells Earp that Ringo couldn't handle the strain.

I've never seen Tombstone. However, I read a well-written scholarly bio of the historical Earp-- the kind of book with footnotes for each chapter, & a full bibliography at the end.

I concluded that the Earp brothers and the Clantons were NOT just two similar groups of thugs-- just alike.

Ike Clanton announced quite clearly that he was riding into town to kill the Earps. Wyatt's brother either was, or had been, a Deputy U.S. Marsal (can't recall which). At the time of the shootout, Wyatt was a duly-appointed lawman himself.

Attacking the police with firearms is just a very bad idea-- then or now. Ike Clanton was also drunk when he died btw. The firefight lasted 12 secons from first shot to last shot, IIRC.

Having read that history book, I see Wyatt Earp as a somewhat commendable historical figure. He spent only a couple of years of his long life as a lawmen, in several different places. The OTHER 50 or so years, he was a bouncer in a saloon casino; a casino owner; and a prize fight referee. He described himself to a journo as having "mostly been a merchant in pasteboard and ivory."

He was a delegate to the GOP National Convention in 1920 (I THINK it was 1920).

I worked very part time in a little convenience store on campus my sophomore year. It was just about that time. Before Walkman, people looked at each other and spoke with one another. After Walkman, they all looked down and didn't even mumble a response to the cashier.

It was the first encounter with something that led to the zombies who never look up from their cell phones.

It was the end of polite encounters.

168 They make little digital music players that look like tiny walkmans complete with an lcd screen that plays animation of a "tape" spooling. Why do I have a music player instead of just use my phone? Because getting stuff on a phone isn't always easy, certainly not with an iphone and I like to rip my own stuff with Exact Audio Copy at lossless. And not one of those pricy ones. It was about 50 bucks, has a good headphone amp/DAC, and takes a 256GB microSD. FiiO Snowsky Echo Mini.


And that leads to the following conspiracy theory. I wonder if all these consumer products that are much much cheaper than the name brand items of 4-5 years ago are being dumped onto the USA market by china to get a distributed cloud of devices that can form surveillance nets. This thing has bluetooth. That's an antenna. A lot of "smart" watches are now available at $10-$50 now, same thing. There's a flood of these little devices coming in with various types of antennas. Makes me wonder.

I wonder if anyone checks into these sort of things.

Apollo 8 was something of a penciled-in mission. Apollo 8 was supposed to be Apollo 9. They had these mission types, using letters (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) leading up the actual landing, which was a G-mission. A and B were unmanned tests. The C mission was the manned test of the CSM in LEO, and that was Apollo 7, launched by a Saturn IB.

The D mission was the crewed test of the CSM and LM in LEO, and this was supposed to be Apollo 8. Apollo 9 was going to be an E-mission, which was a high elliptical orbit test of the CSM-LM. An almost TLI going to high apogee. Borman, Anders, and Lovell were training for this D-mission.

But it became apparent that the D version of the LM wasn't going to be ready, and no way to safely make it ready. The Saturn V and CSM were ready, and so they went to broke and came up with a "C-prime mission". The crews switched because the crew for the D-mission was in heavy training and simulation for that. After the success of both 8 and 9, there was no need for the E mission anymore. They went right to the F-mission, Apollo 10.

Apparently I exceeded the word limit, so they made me stop typing.

Another thing I found interesting about the Earps & the shootout at the OK corral:

Tombstone had a group of miners who had formed an auxiliary police force. The Earps could've summoned 20 or so armed men by ringing the town's alarm bell. They chose not to do so, because they didn't want a bunch of amateurs shooting God knows what. Instead, when the Earps decided they needed reinforcemnt, Wyatt sent for his friend Doc-- who was NOT an amateur.

Another big reason for the C' mission being created was fear the Rooskies might beat us to a crewed fly by of the Moon.

Spy photos spotted the ill-fated Russian N1 rocket being set up at a massive new launch complex. Turned out it was just a mock-up, being used for pad integration testing and all that. You get a mock up model of your rocket to test out the layout and connections and ground crew procedures.

There is some speculation that the very high ups (CIA and WH level) knew it was a mock-up and not a real rocket, but NASA didn't know. This would've meant a very high level inside source, so it's understandable they would want to protect him at all costs.

Anyway, NASA feared the Rooskies might be about launch a crew around the Moon.

I was just reading about the original A - G Apollo mission plans, specifically to see what the E mission that never was was supposed to be. The whole progression was one or two little steps at the time getting closer and closer to the Moon.

The E mission was going was to be a half-way TLI, throwing the CSM and LM to a very high elliptical orbit, and then return to earth. It was going to test deep space navigation and communication techniques as one of the main objectives.

Apollo 8's shuffled C' mission of course accomplished all that, and got to lunar orbit. They took a much larger step than intended with that, a big risk, really.

Posted by: BeckoningChasm at June 25, 2026 11:29 PM (CHHv1)

I heard someone analyze it once (really? Analyze a Cohen bros movie?) but they made a point that was kind of fascinating. They held that what makes it so intriguing is that it’s the complete inverse of Campbell”s “Hero’s Journey”. That’s the basic plot where the Hero leaves his home, has perilous experiences, is profoundly changed and because of that is able to overcome.

But in the Big Lebowski, the Dude leaves his house, and undergoes a series of perilous adventures; but he doesn’t change one bit. Everyone else changes and the problems are solved; but the Dude does not change at all. He simply Abides.

Deep space navigation, as they called it back then. I think of Deep Space as say, way out, but it's all relative.

Imagine you're floating in a little tin can a 100K miles from earth. You need to where you are, and where you're headed. You need to know the attitude of your little tin can relative to an earthly coordinate system reference.

How are you going to do that? The stars. They had gyros and IMUs, but those things would accumulate errors over the course of days. They had to realign them every so often.

When you're making a critical rocket burn to put in orbit around the Moon, or come out of orbit and head back to Erf, it's critical you know exactly which way to point yourself. The details are complex, but quite fascinating.

In fact, digging around I found two versions of official audio for "On The Border," and decided that I didn't care for the 2001 remaster as much as the 1976 original. It could be all in my head, but I thought the remaster was a bit blurry, going for fullness (a little bassy) but losing articulateness, while the original was crisper (nice treble) and more balanced:

An example of that floating in a tin can and needing manual navigation was Apollo 13. The movie made reference to some of this.

When the LOX tank blew up, the SM was continuously venting crap, making a little cloud of sparklers glinting in sunlight all the time. This made it near impossible to sight stars with the sextant(s). They had to use cruder targets.

As was dramatized in the movie, on the way back, near earth, they needed to do a course correction maneuver, otherwise they were fucked. Houston needed a precise position fix to do the calculation. At the time, the only observatory that had clear enough skies to do it was Chabot, in Oakland.

And you remember from the movie, how Lovell had to use a crude method to hold attitude during that burn. He eyeballed the earth's terminator cusps for one axis, and the other one used the sun I think for the other axis. They had to time the burn with wristwatches.

And they got home.

All three had one specific job to do. Lovell held yaw, Fred Haise held pitch, and Swigert timed the burn with his watch.

Lovel had one axis thrusters and Haise the other (roll didn't matter, as it was the axis of thrust). Lovell lined up the earth's terminator (crescent earth), so the cusps, the sharp ends were touching one of the reference lines in his sight. Haise kept the sun centered in another sight.

I had Grok go over just what Lovell and Haise had to do.

Lovell. Imagine looking at the crescent Moon through a sight. You align one of the cross-hairs so the "horns", the points at the end of the terminator are just touching that crosshair. If it moves, you hit the thruster control to push it back.

Haise was sighting the Sun through another optical instrument. His job was to keep the Sun centered on the bullseye. If Lovell was doing his job, he only had to worry with one direction, call it up and down. If the Sun moved, he hit his thruster to move it the other way.

Swigert's job was to fire the engine on a mark with his watch, and then shut them down at the right mark.

Before that final course correction, they were coming in too shallow. They would have "skipped off the atmosphere" and shot off into space (they would've eventually come back, but they would've been dead by then). The reason was the constant venting of the damaged SM was causing a little constant thrust to the spacecraft, every so slightly, but continuously altering its trajectory.

Also, they made some errors in some of the previous burns due to the fact the spacecraft had lost some mass due to the explosion and venting.

All astronauts are put under extensive psychological stress, really torture tests to screen out those who fall apart under pressure. They do things like lock them in tiny dark rooms for extended periods and see who cracks.

Then they psychologists who try their best to find their buttons, push them, and see if they can break them.

Clarification on the above. Lovell and Apollo 13 didn't enter lunar orbit, they just whipped around to slingshot back to earth, using the free return trajectory.

Apollo 11 used the free return trajectory all the way, as did Apollo 8 and 10 before them. But from Apollo 12, onwards they would deviate. The reason was a free return severely limited the landing sites.

Now, they put it on a free-return trajectory with the initial TLI burn. Only after they docked with the LM and checked out all the systems, would they do the manuever to alter it from return. The explosion occurred after than with Apollo 13, so they had to do a burn to put them back on free-return.

369 Late comment, I really like Al Stewart's "Song on the Radio"

When I got a Walkman in 1981, I was blown away by the richness of the sound thru the tiny headphones. I'd had "KOSS" headphones for a few years (which I still have but haven't used in years), but the tiny Walkman headphones had deep bass for such tiny items. It was unbelievable to me.

Adopting a zebra.

Raising a baby goat found freezing as a newborn on the coldest night of the year.

A single swan egg was found abandoned in a nest. So a guy hatched it and raised it.

A murmuration of horses.

Miniature baby goats.

Fancy pigeon wears a fur!

And very fancy geese as well!

Niagara Falls, but in winter. It's not as nice.

29 The Golden Age of MST were the Joel years, with Trace and Josh ( before he was J. Elvis ) , playing both the Bots and the Mads. Mike Nelson kept the franchise going, Kevin Murphy was a good Servo, and TV's Frank was a great second banana, but when Trace left, leaving Forrester's overbearing ( and unfunny ) mother Pearl, as the sole antagonist, something vital was lost.

It's interesting. That actor in CV (I haven't seen it) has been effectively blackballed in Hollywood. He had some pretty horrible emails that became public (wonder who he pissed off). Seems he took this job so he had a job and make some money as rolls haven't been coming in because of those emails. He's accidently found himself in a hit movie. Go figure.

Lol, no.

It's IPO had a projected TAM of 28.5 TRILLION, with more than 90% of that as the imputed value of AI unicorn farts, not the core business.

Musk is cashing on AI the bubble with a grossly inflated IPO. The business will remain perfectly viable at a drastically reduced stock price, and the speculators will take a haircut.

The stock price is going to drop more before it finds something approaching a realistic price.

We once went an entire Christmas and I did not notice a Hot Wheels red sports car next to the manger til I put it up. It was the kid's nativity scene and I guess they moved the figures around and had Nascar at the same time. Unknown.

Probably the same Christmas they knocked the tree over and gallons of water while I was working 3-11pm. I could always tell their Dad had a rough shift if there was a time out chair facing the wall. This time the tree was held up by wires to the wall.

Good evening, Salty!

This past week I took a road trip with a friend who picked me up in my home town of Prescott, AZ and we drove to his home in Cedar Rapids, IA.

Along the way, we spent a couple of nights in Hutchinson, KS (my first time in the state) and spent an entire day touring and going to events at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson.

A MUST-SEE for any space program nerd out there! Cheers!

Interstate 81 is a lot of it - goes through the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge valleys in a SW-NE slant paralleling the coast but missing all the major cities. Also very scenic if you pop off and do a few miles on the park routes on the ridge tops. But don't try to go the whole way up there, too twisty.

Scott, who is Jewish, had changed his stance on Israel, parroting the typical Free Palestine rhetoric, in order to get easy votes.

It turns out, to nobody's surprise, that he still isn't spared from falling under the "Zionist" label that the Free Palestine crowd uses.

Long ago, 1980s, i was in a furniture delivery truck driving south on I-95 in Maryland. It was the end of the day, driving back to the warehouse in an empty truck to finish up at the end of the day. The left-most lane had a pair of approaching headlights. The driver moved right out of the lane, and a car blew past going in the opposite direction at full speed. Got a glimpse of two white-haired geezers in the front seats. Combined approach speed about 130 mph. You see some weird things on the road doing a delivery job every day, but that was one of the weirdest. I didn't see anything in the paper about a fatal head on collision, so maybe the geezers figured it out.

252 We visited Ottawa about 10 years ago to skate on the Rideau Canal. My little girls and I ran into a couple Mounties in the hotel lobby. My girls were smitten. It was then I learned they carry cards (like trading cards) to give out to little kids - my girls loved them. I thought that was a nice touch - I hope they still do that

I got into Intel in the late 90s at around $17, split adjusted. It proceeded to go up and down for the next twenty-some years, leaving me pretty much where I started, until a few years ago, when it took off again. It's around $130 now. I'm trying to decide if they have managed to unfuck themselves for the long term, or if this is a temporary pop and I should get out while the getting is good.

257 I was watching a Charlie Kirk vidya, and he brought up first-born privilege; that the eldest child is the most successful because of the parents' attention.

Me? I am the eldest of my siblings. I sincerely believe I was the practice kid. Kind of a beta test. I love my Mom and Dad. I am blessed to have had parents such as they. And, in their defense, I was a handful. But, my younger brother and little sister were their favorites. It happens. No bitterness. I love my family.

Confusing. A "seeker of justice" with a cold disregard for collateral damage. Gratuitous sex scene with almost zero relation to either plot or character development. Tactical brilliance implied by his continuous evasion of the law combined with zero opsec, using ungloved hands leaving fingerprints all over crime scenes. On the good side, great gory practical effects at the ambush scene
A non-cliffhanger open-ended finish, leaving room for a sequel, but no compelling reason to care.

Europe Prepares for Remigration?

"Remigration" being the preferred euphemism for "kicking them out and sending them back home."

They plan to send illegal aliens to detention areas outside of Europe as their meritless asylum claims are processed.


The European Union could have its first deportation centres operating outside its borders before the end of 2027 and could even begin establishing them as early as next year.

That was the message from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in an interview with the Financial Times, in which she said that several European governments are already working alongside the European Commission to turn into reality one of the most controversial migration proposals of recent years and one of the key priorities championed by patriotic movements seeking to reverse the damage caused by years of uncontrolled immigration.

According to Frederiksen, there is a genuine "coalition of the willing"--using the phrase normally associated with European countries unconditionally supporting Ukraine--among several member states that aims to develop these return hubs in third countries with European funding.

The Social Democratic leader said that preparations are already sufficiently advanced for the first centre to become operational within a relatively short timeframe. Her position demonstrates that concerns about immigration are not merely ideological but also a matter of effective governance.

Her comments come only days after nineteen EU member states publicly endorsed the possibility of financing similar structures with European funds, inspired by the model established by Italy in Albania. The European Commission has also confirmed that the necessary legislative framework is already in place and that it is now up to member states to submit concrete proposals.

The shift is difficult to overlook. For years, outsourcing migration management beyond Europe's borders was considered both a political and legal taboo. When Denmark proposed transferring asylum seekers to Rwanda in 2021, the initiative triggered strong criticism from human rights organisations, left-wing parties, and numerous European governments.

Today, the debate is no longer about whether such a system should exist, but about how it should be implemented. The question is no longer what, but when.

Well, those seeking "asylum" should have no objection because they will be granted asylum in these third country areas while their claims are processed, right?

On the other hand, if they're just migrants gaming the system to gain entry into the countries with the welfare systems of their choice, they might not like the plan.

But I'm sure it's mostly the former, right?

Meanwhile, the same left that insisted that Haiti was a beautiful country when Trump offhandedly referred to it as a "shithole" are now saying it's a death sentence to send Haitians back to Haiti.

But I thought it was a beautiful country...?

Lizzy made a comment about Citizen Vigilante in the last thread. The movie was made in Germany and banned from public showing. As the title suggests it's about a citizen taking the law in his own hands over muslim invaders.

It's starting to play in the US. Saw a clip of it earlier today and it's easy to see why the German government doesn't want it seen. People all over the western world are tired of this shit and no matter how hard governments censor and punish their citizens it won't stop what people are feeling.

Gov. DeWine's pet Haitians will be deported from Springfield. The surviving stray cats will rejoice. If SCOTUS rules that the children that the Haitians had while on US soil are citizens, maybe DeWine can adopt them.

Hence, the problem. Other than "I've just got questions" folks like you.

Its obvious. She's a straight white girl in a black lesbian league. Just call it what it is. So they poke her eyes, they maul her like this week, and on and on.

Her dumb ass thinks she's the White Jackie Robinson. She's wrong. But she's also stupid. So she'll keep getting her ass kicked.

Fine. I hope, at some point, they draw and quarter her at mid-court. Just so people like you can finally be silenced with your stupid "questions". That are not questions at all.

That was the message from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen in an interview with the Financial Times, in which she said that several European governments are already working alongside the European Commission to turn into reality one of the most controversial migration proposals of recent years and one of the key priorities championed by patriotic movements seeking to reverse the damage caused by years of uncontrolled immigration.

"Controversial." But flooding Europe with millions of African and Muslim murderers and rapists wasn't controversial? Giving the invaders special privileges over the natives -- not controversial? Shoving it down your peoples' throats with your police was not controversial? You god damn evil sociopaths.

112 The left threw a TON of roadblocks up to keep people in though. They will not deport someone who has a war back home. Or someone they cannot find adequate paperwork for. Or if their nation refuses to take them back. Or if the are somehow threatened back home for their "identity". It goes on and on, all the rules and laws that make it just impossible to say no to someone entering and impossible to remove them.

The US relaxed a few of these rules, but only for migration between EU states.

This reminds me of how a lot of NBA fans and players used to b#tch about the Celtics in the 80's because they had an all-white starting line-up.

American citizens in Springfield, Ohio are rejoicing after the Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to cancel the quasi-amnesty Temporary Protected Status (TPS) granted to the city’s huge population of Haitian migrants despite strong opposition from local and national business groups.

“Yes!! Supreme Court allowing deportation of Haitians to continue!!!” said a message from a local Facebook group, Stop the Influx into Springfield, Ohio.

“When is the farewell party? this is an occasion for celebration,” said anonymous member 811 after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump could end the Temporary Protected Status given to Haitians by President Joe Biden.

Isaiah Thomas saying if Byrd were black he'd be just another decent player in the 'hood

Thomas is just wrong. One of the repeated trash talking Bird used his whole career was telling the opposing coach that he was insulted if he put a white guy to guard him. And Bird was a huge trash talker, I've heard about a dozen old pros say it, white and black. Another thing he would do is tell the guy guarding him exactly what he would do then dare him to stop it, which usually they could not do.

Thomas is still mad someone - Bird, MJ, Pippen, the coach vetoed him being on the Dream Team.

152 EU better hope it's not too little too late. I just watched Citizen Vigilante, courtesy Mr. Musk. It's not a good movie, but the inspirational and agitating properties are off the charts. I especially loved a scene in which a hospitalized woman deliberately gives a cop a 180 degree wrong description of the vigilante who visited her in the hospital. More than that, I loved the scene where the "good guy" offs 9 Muslims, 6 of whom are rapists and the other 3 -- dad, mom, and sister -- are family members.

Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. They are already being overwhelmed. But the flood would turn into a tsunami. They will soon have no choice but to secure their borders. Their citizens will demand it. One way (peacefully) or another (violently), their citizens will get it.

The end of open borders could soon be here. It's almost possible to declare a time of death: August 15, 2029. That's the last possible date before the next UK elections.

And as far is Clark is concerned I'll admit the only WNBA games I've ever watched were because she was appearing. I don't think either game was highlight reel material but Clark is clearly playing on a level that her teammates can't begin to emulate.

She clearly loves the game. Not sure how WNBA contracts shield the league from liability for criminal bodily injury; the level of legal barriers against a player suing for unsafe work environment have been eroded pretty heavily by multiple jury decisions.

I see her playing until one of those huge angry women finally puts her in hospital and then she cashes out.

Might be the only way she gets paid her worth.

Quick Hits

Five girls were walking on a street in NJ when an member of an unspecified religion threw acid in their faces, scarring them for life.

Five people are recovering after someone drove up in a vehicle and threw acid on them in Jersey City, according to police.

It happened on Monday near 105 Wilkinson Ave. Five women were outside the location when individuals riding in a vehicle drove up and threw what is believed to be sulfuric acid at them, according to preliminary information from Jersey City Police.

All five victims were taken to a local hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries that included skin burns and peeling.

All the victims are stable.

Police say the incident appeared to have been targeted and may have stemmed from a dispute between a large group of people earlier in the day.

Police will only identify the attacker as a "juvenile."

What kind of juvenile?

The left is pro-terrorist, period.

Pro-Palestinian groups are calling for justice for the eight activists indicted on federal vandalism charges for allegedly attacking the homes and buildings of pro-Israel groups and people.

However, national security and pro-Israel groups are saying that Jewish people must be protected against violence.

The reactions follow the June 10 announcement of an indictment of eight pro-Palestinian individuals, at least seven of whom are affiliated with the University of Michigan.

The indictment outlined information about these individuals; Zainab Hakim, Alexander Sepulveda, and Marian Odeh are graduates of UMichigan, Amatullah Hakim, Paige Feyock, and Jonathan Zou, are current students, while Ahmet Korkaya formerly lived in Ann Arbor and Colin Weger currently does as well.

The indictment's counts included charges of the transmission of threats in interstate and foreign commerce, witness intimidation, and the destruction of property to prevent seizure.

In the terror plot culminating in a Texas cop being shot in the neck, leftists are claiming that the Mexican national terrorist got 30 years for "reading leftist magazines."

That's a lie, obviously. When the terrorists were being rounded up after shooting the cop, they called the Mexican national and told him to get rid of their antifa propaganda. Possibly they wanted to dispose of the evidence that they committed the shooting as part of an antifa terrorist action.

This was evidence being sought in a terror shooting, and the Mexican national did attempt to dispose of the evidence.

A far cry from "he got 30 years for reading The Nation."

Hiding/destroying evidence usually involves paperwork like this. It only occasionally involves destroying "sexy" evidence like drugs, explosives, or guns.

Among the most stupid posts ever here on X.

He was convicted of conspiracy and obstruction.

Hiding the material to prevent it from being found by law enforcement is an obstructive act punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

The FACTS of the case -- "relevant conduct" as to all who were convicted -- involved an ambush and shooting at an ICE facility.

One of the law enforcement officers was shot in the neck and seriously wounded.

EVERYONE involved in the conspiracy has that aggravating fact applied by the Judge when he determined their sentences -- from 30 to 100 years

"When the Democrat Party includes someone in that tent that believes these things, I don't think any of those things are gonna solve what you just talked about..."

"They were saying you're next about Hakeem Jeffries. 'You're next! You're next! You're next!'"

In related news, a ten year old with a knife accosted a 22 year old female jogger in Cotes-d'Armor France. He demanded she strip. She refused. He stabbed her in the arm and abdomen, then ran away. I'm guessing this kid is of similar heritage to the acid throwers.

The people talking about it know no more than you. They're trying to make you emotional on the issue. Do not permit that. We'll know when we know.

I suspect that the court will rule that the 14th does not grant birthright citizenship but the President lacks the authority to change it. Given that Trump's EO clarified the previous SCOTUS ruling on the matter, this will be the wrong decision but it's not - quite - the end of the world. That having been said, it's pure speculation on my part.

Unfortunately it sucks as a movie. Unsurprising, since Uwe Boll wrote and directed it. It had what could have been a solid premise and timely, well-developed story that got lost in bad writing, weak acting, and non-dimensional non-relatable characters. A squandered opportunity to put out something to counteract garbage like "Adolescence" and other propaganda running interference for "migrant" murderers and rapists, and to introduce a newer take on vigilante and fight-the-system movies. One star.

136 Re the convictions in the terror cases: the way Europe ended their scourge of leftist terrorism in the '60s was to be very aggressive with those who provided material support, like these loons hiding evidence, or people who pass money around, or provide safe houses. So it's fantastic that we are doing this. One terrorist from that time it took 3 people to hide and support one leftist, so eventually they ran out of dopey supporters.

Ummm.

Quick, someone, anyone, SCOTUS clerk or justice, anybody - which gun law, federal or state - is not presumptively unconstitutional? NFA, Gun Control Act, phone-book piles of laws at the state level.

Without the absurd and catastrophic introduction of "doctrines", and other laughable court-invented "law", how do *any* of these laws pass muster? Easy. They don't. Obviously. Oh well. US system was a good idea, quite amazing 250 years ago.

I had my lab coat on (plus) and my safety glasses (never without em, also a plus.) While I was pumping the shit (it is think, like corn syrup- but not tasty) I put the pump back down in the barrel and it shattered up in the air. I dodged most of it, but I noticed there were droplets all over my safety glasses and my forehead burned in places. No serious, lasting burns but I got some new holes in my lab coat and it burned spots on my leather boots.

The Supreme Court Defends Its Bruen Decision, Refusing Hawaii's Insistence That the "Spirit of Aloha" Overrides the 2nd Amendment

Hawaii claims "the spirit of Aloha" allows them to do a lot of things, like discriminate in favor of native-born Hawaiians over newcomers. Maybe this will serve as a precedent for a ruling knocking down that racial discrimination.

But for the moment, the Supreme Court has ruled that Hawaii's "spirit of Aloha" does not grant the racist state
special license to deny American citizens their second amendment rights.

And the states of California, Maryland, NJ, and NY will likewise have to accept that the Supreme Court meant what it said when it reaffirmed that Americans generally have the right to self-defense.


The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a Hawaii law that makes it a crime for gun owners to bring their guns onto private property that is open to the public unless they have the property owner's specific consent. In Wolford v. Lopez, by a vote of 6-3, the justices agreed with a group of Maui residents with concealed-carry permits that the law violates the Second Amendment's guarantee of the right to bear arms.

Thursday's decision will have an impact not only in Hawaii, but also in four other states -- California, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey -- with similar laws.

In his 24-page opinion for the court, Justice Samuel Alito wrote that the law "hobbles what the Second Amendment protects: the right of Americans to carry arms for self-defense as they go about their daily lives." Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who dissented, countered that the law "fairly applies a first principle of property law--the right to exclude--and does no harm to the Second Amendment."

Hawaii passed the law in 2023, just under one year after the Supreme Court's decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen. In Bruen, the court invalidated a New York handgun-licensing law that required state residents who wanted to carry a handgun in public to show that they had a special need to defend themselves. The court also made clear that the Second Amendment protects a broad right to carry a handgun outside the home for self-defense. In his opinion for the majority in Bruen, Justice Clarence Thomas emphasized that courts should uphold gun restrictions only if they are "consistent with the Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation."

Before Hawaii's ban could go into effect, three Maui residents with concealed-carry permits, as well as a local gun-rights group, went to federal court to challenge the law. A federal appeals court upheld the ban, finding that there was likely "a national tradition ... of prohibiting the carrying of firearms on private property without the owner's oral or written consent."

The challengers then went to the Supreme Court, asking the justices to weigh in. The court agreed to do so in October and heard oral argument in January.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court reversed. Alito found it clear that the Hawaii law fell within "the plain text of the Second Amendment" and was therefore "presumptively unconstitutional." "No party," he wrote, "disputes that" the challengers in the case "are among 'the people' protected by the Second Amendment or that they seek to 'bear,' i.e., to carry, 'arms.'" Alito stressed that the Hawaii law "unquestionably imposed a new and significant burden on the exercise of the right" to bear arms.

He acknowledged that under the Hawaii law, property owners can still "admit or exclude" gun owners "who are carrying guns for self-defense." But the difference between the Hawaii law and the default rule elsewhere in the country -- that gun owners with concealed-carry permits can enter private property open to the public "unless expressly prohibited from doing so" -- "will determine where carry-permit holders may lawfully carry firearms," Alito said, when "the owner either pays no attention or does not care about such issues."

Note that the Court says that property owners can in fact exclude guns from their property -- but the state can't make it a crime to bring guns to someone's property, if that property owner hasn't said anything about guns either way.


The key question before the court, in his view, was whether there was a history of similar regulations in early U.S. and English history. Alito first rejected Hawaii's contention that, "whatever the situation in other parts of the country, in Hawaii, opening private property to the public" does not give permission to bring a gun onto that property. Alito countered that "the Second Amendment has the same meaning in all parts of the United States," where there is "'overwhelming evidence'" of "an 'enduring American tradition permitting public carry.'"

...

Alito also strongly spurned the state's reliance on "an 1865 Louisiana statute that made it unlawful 'for any person or persons to carry fire-arms on the premises or plantations of any citizens,'" without the owner's consent, calling it "remarkable." That law was "neither widespread nor widely accepted," Alito contended, and in any event, it was adopted as part of the "so-called Black Codes" to discriminate against formerly enslaved people in the wake of the Civil War. "Hawaii's claim that this tainted artifact illuminates the original understanding of the right to keep and bear arms cannot be taken seriously."

Citing "Black Codes" to justify your gun-grabbing? For shame, Hawaii. For shame.

While it would be nice for it to have been about making sure free blacks can defend themselves, IIRC, it was founded because they saw the absolutely deplorable state of the union soldiers and their familiarity with firearms.

36 Previous decision was totally contrary to the "Spirit of Aloha".

The State has some holdover from old Hawaiian Law.

One being 'equal access' - Even the King could not block peasants from their land if they (peasant) want to go to the mountain or the sea.
The modern way is to have clearly designated 'beach access' from public roads or let the unclean masses trapse through your beautiful resort. (A lot of hotels did let folks pass through from street to beach rather than giving a designated access lane).
Not many wanted to go to the mountain... unless you just washed up on the beach... so it works both ways.

So, even using Hawaiian Law, the original decision was pure BS.

44 I think this opinion has the potential to hit even harder than it does on the surface (and not just with the 2nd Amendment).

Let's look at the 1st Amendment for a moment. In California, an employer has the ability to fire you for not using a person's preferred pronouns. They support this under California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), gender expression is fully protected. And yet, that contradicts the 1st Amendment via someone who does not accept "transgender" or multiple genders, or plural pronouns as applicable. One could hold their opinion based on grammar, religion, common sense, or factual biology...and as your opinion, your 1st Amendment rights protect you. California is, basically, altering the 1st Amendment, as Hawaii was altering the 2nd Amendment, are they not?

It's no secret that the native Hawaiians are pretty racist against everyone that isn't them. And the state government panders to that. What complicates that a bit is that the historic Hawaiian culture was racially differentiated. There were ordinary subjects that were shorter and darker, and a ruling aristocracy that was taller and lighter. The aristocracy had the power of instant arbitrary life and death over the lower class.

67 In AZ, it's illegal to carry, concealed or otherwise, a firearm onto commercial premises that serve alcohol, and anyplace that marks their entrances with signs to that effect.
That law is probably overbroad. I can see it for some shit-kickin' country bars -but even there, most of the fights are in the parking lot with easy access to the pickup the gun is probably in - but you have to leave the gun outside, even in really placid restaurants. The Show Low Cafe picked up a license after years without it. Now the same guys who use to eat breakfast with the Ruger Blackhawk on their hip before they went out to work on the ranch now have to leave it off.

For the first hundred years of existence our country had no "firearm regulation" other than all males over a certain age will equip themselves with certain firearms.


I do know that in the 1600-1700's the masschetuetts bay colony required all males over the age of 16 to attend church armed and that each male over the age of 16 and under 50 shall equip himself, and be constantly provided with a good Fire-Arm, with a Steel or Iron Ramrod, and a Spring to retain the same, a Worm, Priming Wire and Brush, and a Bayonet fixed to his Gun, a Scabbard and Belt therefor, and a Cutting Sword, or a Tomahawk or Hatchet, a Pouch containing a Cartridge Box, that will hold fifteen Rounds of Cartridges at least, a Hundred Buck Shot, a Jack-Knife and Tow for Wadding, six Flints, one Pound of Powder, forty Leaden-Balls fitted to his Gun, a Knapsack and Blanket, a Canteen or Wooden Bottle sufficient to hold one

He also told me people from the Mainland get Island fever where they realize they are on an Island and they HAVE to get back to the mainland

Wanted to say thanks for all the overwhelming support from an ocean of people like me who are fed up with the non stop gay fatigue! The utter distain we all feel for much of the intolerant, unhappy, whiny, mentally unstable, & sexually confused members within the LGBTQ community who demand monthly worship from every person, & institution on Earth has gotten out of control.

These lunatics act as if the entire human race depends on them letting us all know which of the 473 genders do they identify as… & most importantly the kind of people they like banging the most.

I laughed so hard at many of the thousands comments from completely unhinged, angry, miserable, & intolerant butt pirates whom felt so emotionally triggered by my posts they just couldn’t help but let me know what an intolerant & homophobic piece of shit bigot I am.

It was quite a powerful, & amazing feeling to know I have the power to alter the minds, control the emotions, & absolutely ruin the day for an entire Army of meat pushers.

103 Re: the previous discussion of the Socialists taking over NY state and the Democratic Party eventually, a little historical hindsight is revelatory:

When the demographic of cowardly 18-24-year-olld males in the late 1960s stp merely "going to anti-war protests"to ave their own skins from being drafted, and organized into the Students for a Democratic Society, they all thought it was a fantastic turns of events, getting organized, getting their voices heard, pressuring LBJ an the Democrats, rioting at the Chicago Dem convention, etc. "Wow! we're making headway. We're becming influential!" they all thought.

And then the commies stepped in, co=pted tthe SDS, turned it far-left, and they all thught, :Wow! Thisn is great! The "Revolution: is abut to happen! We're a realm force in American politics!"

And then the SDS splintered into The Weather Underground Maoist terror network, the Yippie anarchist street theater, and the rest infiltrating thr Democratic Party to turn it left, they all thought, "This is Great! We're fighting on three fronts -- mainstream poltics, media manipulation, and terror attacksm-- all at once! We're sure to win soon, and The Revolution is here.. (con't)

Posted by: zombie at June 25, 2026 05:09 PM (Av6i5)

104 And then reality happened.

And reality was two consecutive Richard Nixon landslides, and the US as a whole turning RIGHTward.

Because taking over the Democratic Party internally and turning it leftward is NOT the same thing and influencing the electoral overall as a whole.

History has proven time and time again that dragging one of of the political spectrum off to the extreme only causes the other end - and the center, most importantly -- the pull the opposite direction.

The Dems with go from being a center-left part with 45% of overall popular support, to being an extreme left party with 28% popular support. The socialist may win internal Dem battles, and battle within blue states, but all they're doing is setting themselves up to fail on a nationwide scale.

111 "fairly applies a first principle of property law--the right to exclude--and does no harm to the Second Amendment."

No, actually, it doesn't. Because it applies a burdensome standard to the property owner and the bearer of arms. See, in a normal situation, the property owner has to notify everyone of exceptions to the normal course of exercising their rights. You have to tell people "no trespassing" because the normal exercise of their rights is to go on your property - to sell you something or serve you notice or just knock on your door to meet you. You have to tell them "I not only don't want what you're selling, but I don't even want to have to tell you 'No' and to get off my property." The "vampire rule" required me to say "Yes, you can exercise your rights here." And it harmed the 2A because it said I had to assume I would NOT be allowed to exercise my rights unless communicated otherwise.

The DOJ really needs to start demanding Judges rule on whether someone even has standing to sue in a lot of these cases.

To have standing, you must show harm... either real or imminent.

Posted by: Axeman


Haole is the opposite of Aloha.

They will tell you with a straight face that is their traditional word for 'white person' so it is OK.
Like popolo is their traditional word for 'black person'.

BS on both counts.
Aside from the obvious, why have words for people you have never met and had no idea they existed,
Popolo is black berry
Haole is w/o Aloha or the spirit of life (they thought breath was the soul).

Basically, they are calling whites "Zombie"

So, yes, THIS "Spirit of Aloha" is simple racism.
On the flip side, the natives tend to be rather red-necky and live and let live... as a whole, Hawaii is alien.

The Dems with go from being a center-left part with 45% of overall popular support, to being an extreme left party with 28% popular support. The socialist may win internal Dem battles, and battle within blue states, but all they're doing is setting themselves up to fail on a nationwide scale.

It is impossible for them to understand this, because they have been brainwashed to believe that MAGA is far-right.

Intellectually, they know that Trump won the "popular vote" show pony in the last election, and therefore logically must have captured the center. But they hold onto the cognitive dissonance like their egos depend on it, so they would look at your argument and go "Aha! Republicans are going *down*!!"

Exactly.

When you want your party to have irresistible power, and the other party to be able to do nothing they want to do, it can only end in madness.

But this is what 40 years of party-brand voting has done. Washington was so thoroughly Democratic that Nixon couldn't win against Kennedy (even though he actually did) and they couldn't wait to put the screw to him when he won in back-to-back landslides. Because it wasn't in the Party of DC's interest.

Member of "Ziz" Cult -- Which Claims That Transgenders Are Supreme -- Charged in Murder of Parents

Watch how ABC and the AP carefully avoid ever mentioning that this cult is made up entirely of men who pretend to be women:

Member of cultlike Zizians group charged in the killings of her parents in suburban Philadelphia

A member of the cultlike group known as Zizians has been charged with murder in the shooting of her parents at their home on her 30th birthday.

His parents, you mean. It's a dude who wears a wig. They all are.

MEDIA, Pa. -- A member of the cultlike group known as Zizians has been charged with murder in the shooting of her parents at their Pennsylvania home on her 30th birthday, and a prosecutor said Wednesday she wasn't acting alone.

Delaware County District Attorney Tanner Rouse said evidence from a neighbor's doorbell camera, ballistics and analysis of cellphone records have left investigators certain Michelle Zajko is at least partly responsible for the deaths of her parents, Rita and Richard.

They were shot in her childhood playroom on New Year's Eve 2022, surrounded by her old dolls and toys.

His old dolls and toys, and what a psychopathic staging of the murder of one's parents.

"At this time we do not know who her co-conspirators were, but we are very certain that Michelle Zajko was in the home and arranged for the death of her parents," Rouse said.

Yeah it's the other transgenders in the "Ziz" cult. They're almost all murderers. The cult is responsible for a string of brutal murders across the US and the media tiptoes around it.

So close to Pride Month?!!? You're charging "Her" so close to Pride Month?!?!


The new charges against Zajko, who has been jailed in Maryland on other charges since February 2025, include murder, burglary and conspiracy charges in her parents' deaths. She has denied killing them, and in court filings suggested her father might have killed her mother and himself.

"I didn't murder my parents," she wrote in an April 2025 " Open Letter to the World" that her attorney sent to The Associated Press.

Authorities had long described Zajko as a person of interest.

Here comes the only hint that this is a cult of transgender lunatics:

The two deaths are among six linked to the Zizians, a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists who appear to share radical beliefs about veganism, animal rights, gender identity and artificial intelligence.

They "share beliefs about gender identity" is not quite admitting the truth that they're all "transgender women" and in fact believe that "transgender women" have superpowers, like the X-Men.

Since 2022, members have been tied to the death of one of their own during an attack on a California landlord, the landlord's subsequent killing, the Zajkos' deaths in Pennsylvania, and a highway shootout in Vermont that left a border agent and another Zizian dead.

In the Pennsylvania case, investigators spent years painstakingly collecting evidence, Rouse said, including video from a neighbor's doorbell camera that captured two people getting out of a car outside the Zajkos' home in Chester Heights, a voice shouting "Mom!" and another voice exclaiming, "Oh my God! Oh, God, God!"

Authorities haven't found a weapon, but Zajko made a list describing mistakes such as leaving shell casings behind, he said. Those casings matched ammunition from Zajko's home in Vermont and from a firing range in her backyard, Rouse said.

"If she wasn't the one who actually pulled the trigger, she was certainly aligned with those who did," he said.

Incredible -- exactly like the grooming gang cover-up in the UK. The media will simply lie to protect protected "identities" responsible for heinous crimes.

Here's the little lady, below:

More from John Sexton-- CNN and NBC are covering up for their murderous trans allies, too:

Finally, it's worth noting that despite the long trail of murders associated with this group, NBC News and CNN can barely bring themselves to mention to readers that nearly all of the group's members are trans. NBC gives it exactly one paragraph near the end of the story.


The group's leader is believed to be Jack "Ziz" LaSota, an Alaskan computer scientist and blogger. Like several other members, LaSota is transgender and identifies as female.

CNN is even worse and barely mentions it at all.

Authorities, however, had long described Zajko as a person of interest in the double homicide, two of the six deaths linked to a group of young, highly intelligent computer scientists who appear to share radical beliefs about veganism, animal rights, gender identity and artificial intelligence.

I think that's just a copy/paste of the AP's cover-up language.

38 I think we need to bring back bullying.

I wonder how these nut cases would respond if a "therapist" looks them straight in the eyes and says. Guess what, sport. You are a male. You will always be a male. Wearing a dress, make-up, or cutting off your genitals doesn't change that. You have every right to act weird, dress as you like, display all kinds of different affectations of a stereotypical female. But, at the end of the day you are playing dress-up, and it is reflective of immaturity and potentially (likely) mental illness.

That will be $500, and don't come back. I've given you my professional and common sense assessment and I am correct.

It took the help of a telephoto lens to capture this little antelope's extreme close-up. (You can tell by the photo's stark depth of field—notice the crisp focus on the eyes that turns soft toward the nose.) Tiny in stature, the Kirk's dik-dik survives on supreme skittishness, hiding away in scrubby thickets from predators and photographers alike. When a female dik-dik is startled, it'll take off like a shot in a zigzagging, 25-mile-per-hour sprint, chattering warnings to its fellows with an onomatopoeic shout of 'dik-dik-dik.' Kirk's dik-dik is split into two populations in eastern and southwestern Africa—this west-coaster was spotted in the wilds of Namibia in its habitat along the Fish River"

117 In our relatively small town in Western Colorado, we had a recent incident were a fake woman freaked out at a Dairy Queen over his drink order or something and stabbed someone, tore out of the parking lot hitting multiple cars, was pursued by Police, hitting more cars injuring people, and was eventually shot and killed by Police before he could injure and possibly kill more.

News reports along with Coroner reports call him a woman and a she. This is due to a Colorado law passed by the crazies in Denver who say that they have to go with what gender the person identified with and not what gender they actually are. So even though the Coroner saw clearly that it was a man on the table, he had to write Woman on his report because the his ID had a woman's name on it.

"Transgenders" don't exist. It's made up. There is no single individual on the planet (past, present or future) who is NOT the same sex to which they were born. Wearing different clothes, portraying a different dimeanor, talking differently, wearing make-up, mutilating your sexual organs, any related surgical procedures. It's all just generic altherations. It is a disguise and play acting.

There is no such thing as a "transgender". It annoys me that the word "transgender" is even used because it implies existence. It doesn't.

The problem with asylums is that everyone who would work at one comes up through the same institutions that caused this mess. So first we'd need new psych schools, Christ-based, to be built, and the whole current field to be fired and replaced, and all the current "science", the entire body of works, to be burned on a pyre. Probably along with a substantial number of the practitioners.

The entire psych industry needs a purge, and a complete reset.

I once worked with a guy who grew up in Boston. He was moving to the Philadelphia area for a job and everybody told him he just had to get a home on the Main Line. They suggested he go to a few cocktail parties to learn about the various town and villages along the Main Line. The first thing he learned was that virtually every child growing up on the Main Line was "gift". Parent after parent would tell him about their "gifted child". He thought his kids were smart but not gifted, so he decide to get a home is West Chester PA (not to be confused with West Chester NY) which is sort of just off the end of the Main Line.

241 Which begs the question, how does the coroner complete his report if the name on the ID is "Pat"?
Posted by: nerdygirl

LOL - name he went by was Patti Wilson so it wasn't "Just Pat!". What was on his ID I have no idea but the family apparently told the Coroner that he identified as a female so that was enough. Looked like a guy though - not manly but definitely not female. On a morgue table, the male genitalia would definitely be a clue.

242 Why do we have to bowdlerize all of our scary words now? Even (or especially) on X? "M_rder". Other places I've seen "sh_t" and "r_pe". (And the "sh_t" was not a vulgar word, but the one with an 'o' in the middle.) Please stop it with this crap, people. Write English, please, and let the triggered deal with it.

"Straight Apocalyptic": Horseback Rider Finds Hundreds of Solar Powered Speakers at Mount Shasta

- We have a very strange find out of California. A horseback rider has discovered hundreds, if not thousands, of solar powered speakers in the mountains of Mount Shasta.

You can clearly hear the speakers giving off an overall "White Noise" type of sound.

Some of the speakers do seem to play what sounds like a human voice.

The speakers seem to spread over a wide area of the mountain and can be heard if you are within so many feet of them.

Who would do this?

What are they really doing?

Have any of you ever witnessed Anything like this?

Here's one Muslim apostate on X:

I’m someone who was once a practicing Muslim, I know Islam intimately, from the inside. And right now, I’m deeply, genuinely alarmed.
What breaks my heart is that almost no one truly understands what I’m saying… except those who’ve lived it. The actual victims of this ideology.

It’s a lonely, painful thing, watching something so destructive unfold in plain sight, while the people around you remain completely oblivious.
You see the warning signs so clearly, yet most just smile, nod, and keep scrolling.
That silence and denial is exhausting.

Even worse, some twist the knife by trying to make you feel stupid, like you’re overreacting, paranoid, or imagining something that isn’t even happening.

Violence is inevitable. Hopefully not on a large scale, but Muslims being who they are, will look at UK and think they can do the same without a pushback.

Things will get bloody. Our media will clutch their pearls in horror as the Islamists violently remove the gay/tranny population. There won't be any real pushback until some overt mass attack occurs and suddenly, hopefully it's not too late.

If this country had any sense, we'd ban immigrants from any country where beheadings occur.

I already told you how much I loved seeing Seattle’s reaction to the USA game, it was so amazing. I don’t know if it would have been as impactful if it was some place like here, it was beautiful.

And then your powers that be, with no connection to the people who were all so patriotic, decide Pride Match makes total sense for Iran v. Egypt. 🤣

176 Is Mayor Katie Wilson going to attend the Iran vs Egypt soccer match so that she be filmed waving her Pride flag?
Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 25, 2026 02:59 PM (2sfNr)

She'll run onto the field in her Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, waving a giant Pride Flag. Once she hits the center of the field, she'll begin running through the Iranian fans, then the Egyptian fans.

If she makes it back to her police detail, she'll run home to Mommy and Daddy's house to hide.

194 The solar-powered speakers on the mountain are interesting.

The puzzling thing is how they are getting a signal?

Bluetooth - In an outdoor area you’d be luck to get a signal around 100 feet, at most.

WiFi - Outdoors, it could work to about 300 feet.

Wired - Miles of speaker wires strung and buried.

It only makes sense in the video if the woman on the horse, or a friend, was sending signal to the speakers with a phone or laptop.

- Every park, even the little patches of green space between office buildings in DC is the jurisdiction of the NPP. They are all across the city, not just the national mall.
- They are police, not park rangers. A lot of the criminals they arrest are typical city crimes, such as drug trafficking, violence, etc. the guy I knew had been a NYC cop for years before moving to DC.

These idiots vandalizing the reflecting pool have no idea who they are dealing with!

You can clearly hear the speakers giving off an overall "White Noise" type of sound.

Some of the speakers do seem to play what sounds like a human voice.

The speakers seem to spread over a wide area of the mountain and can be heard if you are within so many feet of them.

Who would do this?

What are they really doing?

Have any of you ever witnessed Anything like this?

Trump: I'm Not Signing Any Bills Until the Senate Passes the SAVE Act

Good.


President Trump canceled the signing of a bipartisan housing bill on Wednesday, saying he would not sign the legislation until the Senate passes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act.

"Today's Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.

The development underscores the tension between Trump and Senate Republicans on the SAVE America Act.

If Trump doesn't sign the bill within ten days, it is automatically vetoed. That's the so-called "pocket veto."

Trump had earlier ordered the Postmaster General to not deliver federal mail-in ballots to states which refused to turn over their voter lists for vetting.

The Postmaster General confirmed he will obey that order, in congressional testimony.


Postmaster General David Steiner told senators during a hearing Wednesday that he plans to abide by the Trump administration's rule regarding not delivering mail-in ballots in states that decline to hand over sensitive data about voters to the federal government.

The proposed rule faces court challenges and Steiner said he would follow any court ruling on the matter, but will follow the rule until an order blocks it. The proposed rule seeks to create lists of citizens in each state to help determine who is eligible to vote and calls on the Postal Service not to distribute mail ballots to those not on state lists.

Steiner confirmed he would follow the rule after Democratic Michigan Sen. Gary Peters asked "If a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list over to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposal rule?"

"Under our proposed regulation, no," Steiner said, according to the New York Times. "We would tell the state that we need the manifest."

No. It automatically becomes law if Trump takes no action in 10 days. The pocket veto only happens Congress adjourns during the 10 day period, which I do not believe is likely to occur here.

In theory, yes. In practice, it will not stop a single investor from buying any home.

There are so many exceptions and easy work-arounds that there's no way the people who wrote this had any intention of actually stopping institutional investors from buying homes.

Hell, a big exception is reportedly that institutional investors can buy any home they want, so long as they plan to rent it out! Are you fucking kidding me?

Chris Christie famously shut down a bridge to fuck with a state assemblyman or senator or dohicky he didn't like.

We only heard about it because he pretended to be a Republican, but that kind of shit goes on all the time.

Trump can start short shrifting all the projects in a state that is not complying. He can have the DOJ start prosecuting all the fraud these clowns are getting rich off of. He can expose them.

Not signing a bill that does not need to be signed is like sending a letter warning that the next letter will be strongly worded.

There is a section in the INA that basically says that "foundlings" are to be naturalized as of birth as their parents are unknown and therefore the foundlings citizenship cannot be derived from the parents...

I don't think this is exactly true. He has 10 days to sign or veto. If he just sits on it, it becomes law, jast as if he signed it.

The pocket veto is when he sits on it *and* Congress goes out of session, making it impossible for him to return it. Then, with no signature, the law dies.

Since Congress never goes out of session any more, a pocket veto is no longer a thing.

112 12> Screwing Banks with foreclosed properties they need to unload.

Banks are not real-estate management firms. They need to get the foreclosed homes off their ledgers. Institutional buyers are the vector that is well equipped to take liabilities, which are often in bad shape, and rehab/flip them. They have the deep pockets to get around financing, inspections, surveys, etc. There is always risk with those applying for an FHA to purchase a foreclosed home that often times is not move-in-ready.

Removing a path for banks to unload foreclosed homes makes the more risk adverse institutions tighten up their eligibility and drives up the prices of homes to cover the heightened risks of taking on new mortgages.

This shit isn't popular. The people are not for all this Free Shit for Shit People game anymore. Real life is not Reddit. Real life is not daytime cable TV.

The victory condition has nothing to do with what gets signed or not signed or passed or not passed. The victory condition is popular momentum. So get out of their way and let them stab themselves in the dick.

128 Indians in the US didn't get citizenship with the 14th Amendment that came later.

There is no way you can make a serious legal argument then that the 14th gives citizenship to aliens
Posted by: 18-1 at June 25, 2026 01:33 PM (sKqQm)

Exactly! I have been noting this for some time now, and pointing to that as the model for addressing “birthright citizenship”.

Indians were granted Citizenship by the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, and it was accepted that this fell under the Lawmaking powers of the Legislature. But Congress has never addressed the children of illegals born in this country.

I would not be surprised at all to see SCOTUS reference this in their ruling, and say that this is part of the Legislstive powers, but that the Executive has no constitutional power to do this on his own by an EO.

178 125> Institutional buyers of property

After looking closer at the text, it says that a firm can't have more than a certain number in its portfolio.

Serious institutional investors spread the risk around by having numerous LLCs so that suits against one "firm" doesn't jeopardize the entire umbrella entity's larger portfolio.

So yes, this isn't even a speed bump, its more of an encouragement to institutional investors to divide up their properties into smaller "firms".

If the legislature hasn't said that these anchor babies are citizens, then what law is the executive enforcing by making them citizens? Trump's EO would seem perfectly legal.

203 The housing and realtor lobby is arguably one of the most powerful special interest groups in the U.S.

Driven largely by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the industry outspends major corporate giants, routinely ranking as the number one overall lobbying spender in Washington, D.C.

NAR frequently outspends organizations like the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Roundtable, pouring tens of millions into both federal lobbying and nationwide election cycles.

The Realtors Political Action Committee (RPAC) is one of the largest in the country. It takes a strictly bipartisan approach, directing funds equally to Democratic and Republican candidates who support real estate interests.

The true reach extends to city halls, statehouses, and zoning boards. Significant local battles shape everything from property taxes to local development and tenant protections.

Its like the 55 MPH speedlimit. Do this thing you don't want to do or we starve you of funds.

There are many communities, whether its a good policy or not, like their town just the way it is and don't want thousands of acres of land for datacenters or housing developments - the latter necessitating massive tax increases to underwrite the development of all infrastructure and social entities such as fire, police, school, courts, sanitation, infrastructure maintenance for the new neighbors.

And their elected officials listen to their constituents - like they should. The Housing Bill is designed to bribe the city council to rubber stamp "affordable housing" development into existence at the expense of destroying the neighborhood's character and culture.

Real estate is poised to take a puke. Investment firms are holding huge holdings that are worth a fraction of the claimed actual market value. In the south and southwest, there are new built apartment complexes standing empty like they were owned by Evergrande. At the moment, in most markets that aren't absorbing NYC tax refugees, the market price of a new house is LOWER than the price of an existing house. The supposition is that the builders are really wanting to get that inventory off their hands fast before the market takes a puke.

If the legislature hasn't said that these anchor babies are citizens, then what law is the executive enforcing by making them citizens? Trump's EO would seem perfectly legal. Unfortunately so would Dem (or RINO) president's EO giving citizenship, which I assume was the case for decades (probably improperly citing 14th for support).

One of my very first jobs was working at a computer repair shop. I built computers, installed Windows, ran virus scans, etc. They had a refrigerator drawer filled with Hot Pockets. I had a few. They weren't great, but it was free and good enough.

I've tried pizza rolls a couple of times and both times it was like eating cardboard with a dash of nuclear hot tomato sauce. I'm not a fan.

There is a huge argument going on if lowering interest rates fuels inflation, or if only printing more money fuels inflation.

Doctrinaire Austrian economist says lowering interest will cause inflation, but the moderate ones say it just causes business cycles (boom-bust recessionary cycles) but not necessarily inflation since the inflationary part of the cycle gets eaten in the devaluation in the recession. And that only becomes inflation if the Government prints more money to support the market to avoid the bust part of the cycle.

282 So, I always did back of the envelope math to check to see whether I should save for a house. I'd look for something nice but smaller in the area, assume a 10% down-payment and check to see what it would be for the mortgage payment. Before it always worked out less than what I was paying for apartment rent, but you had to get that 10%.

I looked again here recently. The cheapest I could find fairly close to Lexington was 200k for a 14-1500 sq ft home built in... '57. I actually liked the look. Lots of wood. Privacy fenced backyard. Unfinished basement. Fine.

Plugged the current Intrest rate and assumed a 20k down-payment. Roughly 2000 per month- which is a LOT more than apartment rent.

That is fucked up.

I didn't know any of this until the time he had to come down to get me out of the same station where he had been a regular. (That's another long story involving fraternities and homecoming)

Supreme Court Overrules Lower Leftwing Judges: Trump May Turn Away Illegals at Border Without First Letting Them Into the Country, The "Temporary" Protected Status Afforded to Syrians and Hatians is, Get This, TEMPORARY and May Be Rescinded


It's incredible that Trump had to fight for the right of the executive to turn illegals away at the border rather than requiring the executive to let them into the country to submit their falsified asylum claims.

Now, if an illegal alien is in the US, judges have ruled he gets to stay while his fake claims are heard (for 8-12 years).

But Trump was turning them away before they got into the country.

Leftwing judges decided that even turning them away into the border was still letting them "arrive in the US," so they get to stay 8-12 years while their phony claims are heard.

In other words -- this is so stupid it's hard to graft -- if you stop an illegal alien before he crosses into the country, leftwing judges insisted he still "arrived in America" when he came to the border and now you have to let him in and let him stay.

The Supreme Court said: "No."

Benjamin Ryan
@benryanwriter


NEWS: The Supreme Court just gave the federal government the power to turn away asylum seekers at the border before they ever set foot on American soil.

In a 6-3 ruling in Mullin v. Al Otro Lado, the Court held that a migrant standing in Mexico has not "arrived in the United States" under federal immigration law until he physically crosses the border. Until that moment, the government owes him no inspection and no chance to apply for asylum.

The decision clears the way for the Trump administration to revive "metering," the practice of stationing officers at ports of entry to cap how many asylum seekers are processed each day and block the rest from crossing.

Justice Alito, writing for the majority, rested the case on the ordinary meaning of a single phrase. To arrive in a place is to enter it, he reasoned, and "that conclusion does not change because someone or something blocks entry."

Justice Sotomayor, in a scathing dissent joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, said the ruling lets the Executive Branch "circumvent all these mandatory procedures by having U.S. immigration officers stand at the border and physically block noncitizens from setting a foot onto U.S. soil." That holds, she wrote, "even if the asylum seeker is certain to be persecuted, or killed, if she is turned away." She accused the majority of an interpretation "driven almost entirely by a fixation on a single word: 'in.'"

Alito was joined by the chief justice, Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett. The three liberal justices dissented.

Leftwing judges had also insisted the TPP status -- Temporary Protected Person status -- granted to nationals of Haiti and Syria were effectively permanent and Trump could never end them, Because Muh Racism.


The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Trump administration to end legal protections for migrants fleeing violence and natural disaster in Haiti and Syria, exposing hundreds of thousands more people to potential deportation.

They Haiti disaster was an earthquake in 1993.


The 6-3 decision overturns lower court orders and allows the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly end temporary protected status, a program that protects a total of 1.3 million people from 17 countries.

The Trump administration argued judges that can't second-guess immigrations officials' decisions about the protections, which were intended to be temporary.

Immigration attorneys said the countries remain unsafe to return, and the administration ended them in an unlawfully hasty process tinged by racial animus. During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump amplified false rumors that Haitian immigrants were abducting and eating dogs and cats.

The Justice Department appealed to the Supreme Court after judges postponed the end of the program for about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians. The high court sided with the administration before and allowed the end of the program for people from Venezuela.

Federal authorities deny that racial animus played a role. They also cited a Supreme Court decision from Trump's first term that rejected bias claims based on his social media posts and upheld a travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries.

DHS has ended the protections people from 13 countries since Trump returned to the White House in January 2025, including some that had been in place for more than a decade.

The terminations were made even though countries like Haiti and Syria remain dangerous, immigration attorneys said. Four Haitian women who were deported from the United States in February were found beheaded and dumped in a river several months later, lawyers said in court documents.

The House passed legislation with a rare bipartisan vote in April that would extend protections for Haitians, though the bill has languished in the Senate.

The U.S. first granted protections to Haitians in 2010 after a catastrophic earthquake, and extended them multiple times amid ongoing gang violence that has displaced more than a million people, according to court documents.

Syrians, meanwhile, were first granted protected status in 2012, during a civil war that lasted for more than a decade before the fall of President Bashar Assad's government in late 2024.

TPS was created by Congress in 1990 to prevent deportations to countries suffering from natural disasters, civil strife and other instability. It allows people already in the country to stay with work permits in increments of up to 18 months, but it doesn't provide a path to citizenship.

Posted by: t-bird at June 25, 2026 12:19 PM


American football is derived from rugby. In order to score a try in rugby, the ball must be physically 'touched down' in the 'end zone'. The 'points after' kick is moved back parallel to the touch line (sideline) as far as the kicker desires. This motivates touching the ball down as close to the middle of the goal posts as possible.

Rugby is a far superior game to American football.

107 AI sez about Haiti:

"The Post-War Boom: Between 1946 and 1956, tourism flourished under the stable administrations of Léon Dumarsais Estimé and Paul Eugene Magloire. The capital, Port-au-Prince, became a major cultural hub with a bustling waterfront tailored to international cruise ships.

A Magnet for Celebrities: Celebrities, artists, and political figures flocked to Haiti for its distinct French/Creole culture, vibrant art scene, upscale hotels, and gambling. Famous visitors included Truman Capote, Mick Jagger, Muhammad Ali, and Bill and Hillary Clinton, who famously honeymooned there in 1975.

The 1970s Peak: After a dip in the 1960s, tourism rebounded sharply in the 1970s due to a new international airport and improved U.S. relations. By the end of the decade, annual visitors peaked at around 150,000 to 300,000 (combining air and sea arrivals), making tourism Haiti's second-largest earner of foreign exchange."

112 One other thing that this decision helps blow up is a new legal concept that the rogue judges that are trying to invent - which is that "intent" is a valid legal concept in judging whether something is legal or not.

Trump may have the legal authority to do something, but if he is doing it for the Wrong Reasons, then you can still deny his authority - for example, claiming that he can't remove TPS status for Haitians, because he is doing it for racist reasons.

It's a way of formalizing the legal concept that Democratic Presidents are allowed discretion in making decisions, and Trump is not.

And I keep saying that's the trend of the Thomas Court.

So all the cool kids on the right are saying that Roberts and ACB will F us on the birthright citizenship.

LFG! SCOTUS did the RIGHT THING!

HOMAN: "TEMPORARY MEANS TEMPORARY!"

"It's the right call! I've been doing this since 1984. TPS has NEVER been temporary. That's why the statute exists!"

"The problem is, no admin has had the GUTS to follow that statute. President Trump has the guts to follow the law."

"They need to go home!"

172 Iran can't "close" Hormuz. It can make statements that give pause to commercial shipping, already wary about entering or exiting the area if they don't have insurance on the ship and/or cargo. Or if the insurance is (likely) very high. Nobody's going to risk a multi-billion dollar VLCC if Iran's making noise. Especially if the crew is sketchy about the trip.

It's an ongoing problem that isn't being dealt with, and therefore at least worthy of note.

It's easier to pay the toll than worry about causing trouble, so most of the world will in fact just pay the toll (some apparently already have).

Trump and his team have said a lot of shit about their negotiations that hasn't been supported at all by the real world behavior of the Iranians.

One analyst I read has stated that if you are dealing with Germany or Japan, it is a matter of knocking down each point individually, and only renegotiating if there is a big change, because that is what you do in an office over a table.
When you negotiate with the Iranians, you are buying a load of carpets in the bazaar and any change means screaming and an automatic renegotiation of the entire deal.
This requires a different negotiation style.

Posted by: Kindltot at June 25, 2026 12:54 PM (rbvCR)

220 Of course Iran doesnt hav the right to collect tolls, I'm just saying its clear they are going to go down this path and even if its just one rowboat with some mines, shipping companies can't seem to write the checks fast enough. Turkey has some similar arrangement on the Aegean sea.

I keep hearing tIran's Navy is decimated, yet somehow they keep asserting this. I thought the "deal" made it clear this was off the table. I'm sure they'll abide by all the other deal points though. Just as soon as we give them $300 billion.

230 And this case has big implication for the current lawless judge-made law of requiring ICE to release illegals out on bail.

I can't recall the whole argument but it's basically judges saying something like, "sure the statute was written to close a loophole that treated those who snuck in better than those who go through customs.
But we don't like that and want illegals to get out on bond no matter where they're caught.
So we read the limitation of eligibility for bond as for only those at the border to mean anyone who is caught by ICE anywhere."

Right now, I think the 5th and the 8th say, "no bond for those who sneak in--the law clearly says what is says."

And it's the 2nd or the 4th that's saying "if you sneak in, you can pinky swear to show at court if you get caught."

Posted by: Vengeance



I'm afraid you're right. Deathly afraid. I do believe that you have to be profoundly stupid - meaning you have a graduate degree or higher - to think that when the 14th was passed they really just wanted to support birth tourism, rather than give citizenship rights to freed blacks and their children. Which the the fucking Democrats were still opposing, even after they lost the Civil War. FFS!

310 Court is likely to reason that since immigrants have been dropping babies here forever that are recognized defacto as citizens that only an Amendment can change that reality.
After all, are we really going to deport...expel....millions of people who were born here....that's not their fault.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

The descent into socialism that NYC seems to have embraced was not created out of whole cloth. This was not some covert effort to insinuate a crypto-socialist into the halls of power, the way Obama slithered his way into the Oval Office. The NYC versions are out-and-proud Islamo-fascists who cover themselves with a thin veneer of socialism that in and of itself is compatible with Islam.

What they did was clever...embracing the disaffection of an over-educated youth whose worthless degrees and lack of any actual worthwhile skills prevented them from entering the highly competitive workforce of NYC, all while expanding their cutely named "Democratic Socialist" platform to include a reprehensible foreign policy that centers around Jew-hate. That attracted the new 3rd World immigrants and the AWFLs. Couple that with a notoriously low turn-out and obvious vote manipulation, and Bingo! We have a NYC that is indistinguishable from Cuba.

Their platform is simple. America is evil. Israel is evil. Market economies are evil. Wealth is evil. The rule of law is evil. Confiscatory taxation to fund a comprehensive welfare state to benefit their voters is the only way to run a city, state, or nation.

Jeffrey Carter, a finance guy who came within a few thousand votes of the Republican nomination for NV Treasurer, has written a primer on the emergence of socialism in America, and it is worth a careful read. He is polite, and sometimes calls them Democrats, but the results are the same.

The Socialist Sweep

Democrats played the very long game. Where did it start? Post 1960s, the radicals quit trying to change society overtly. They all went into education. They became respected members of the professor class, and frankly, that professor class had a bias toward welcoming them in. That’s how Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, worked. Here they are. Smiling commies with their red stars. Totally accepted in the Obama network.

Never forget, The Weatherman and 60s radicals all grew up wealthy. Ayer’s father was the CEO of Commonwealth Edison. They have trust funds and generational wealth to rely on. President FDR was the same. They won’t part with it, but they are happy to take yours.

It took a couple of generations via taking over the public and private school system, but we have a lot of people out there who do not understand capitalism and think America is a racist country with a flawed founding.

They are easily persuaded to communism, socialism, or whatever you want to call it.

No amount of data can get them out of their confirmation bias.


Well, there is one bit of data that will convince them of the evils of socialism, but that is the end game, when they are lined up against a wall and shot for being enemies of the state. That is the unavoidable result of the ignorance that is engulfing the West. As Marx himself said:
When our turn comes, we shall make no excuse for the terror.

So where will patriotic Democrats go, now that the hard left of their party is subsuming the rest of them?
The center of the Democratic Party is gone. It's over for people like Senator Fetterman. There are no Danny Rostenkowskis, Scoop Jacksons, or Tip O' Neills. Rahm Emanuel is running around the country trying to save it but he was the butler who helped usher in the communists as Obama's Chief of Staff.

The answer is that they will support the obscenity of the Democratic Socialist wing because the political philosophy of the Democrat party is simply a prettier version of Stalin's...the lust for power is all-encompassing, and mainstream Democrats will hold their noses and continue to vote for what can only end in Gulags and concentration camps and wholesale murder and death.

They seem nice!

"The most recent report from the Gothamist sheds light on the vital presence of immigrants in New York City, revealing a city where nearly four in ten (38%) residents are from outside the United States, and a clear majority, 60%, are either immigrants or their children; this significantly contrasts with the national average of 27% immigrants, according to the New York City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs."

It's rather a shock that people who immigrated to this country hate the country, but that was the goal of the left.

They've succeeded. This is what they want to happen to the rest of the country.

61 FREE SPEECH COALITION, INC., et al. v. PAXTON,
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS

Held: H. B. 1181 triggers, and survives, review under intermediate scru-
tiny because it only incidentally burdens the protected speech of adults.
Pp. 470–499.
(a) H. B. 1181 is subject to intermediate scrutiny. Pp. 470–495.
(1) To determine whether a law that regulates speech violates the
First Amendment, the Court considers both the nature of the burden
imposed by the law and the nature of the speech at issue. Laws that
target protected speech “based on its communicative content” “are pre-
sumptively unconstitutional and may be justifed only if ” they satisfy
strict scrutiny. Reed v. Town of Gilbert, 576 U. S. 155, 163. Laws that
only incidentally burden protected speech are subject to intermediate

Democrats/Uniparty get rid of anyone who is a danger to them. They create scandals, use the media, plant stories, target and define, rumor and ruin, threaten charges where necessary. This is a planned exercise. Nothing about the Democrats is organic. Ever.

68 Carville is a loathsome and evil man, but he’s one the few left on the Dem side who has some actual intelligence. He knows what this means - the Dem party is about to split. Because outside of NYC and the west coast, the rest aren’t going to go along.

I would argue that what Carville really wants is power, and is making the point that the crazies are making it much harder, if not impossible, for the Demoncrats to finally seize it.

1. Supreme Court rules the president has the authority to end Temporary Protected Status for 350,000 Haitians (although that little sh*t DeWine will try to find a way to hang on to them) and 6,100 Syrians.

2.The Supreme Court ruled the president can turn away asylum seekers at the border.

3. The Supreme Court stuck struck down a Hawaii law that required gun owners to get permission before carrying a firearm onto private property

4.The Supreme Court sided with the manufacturer of the weedkiller Roundup, overturning a jury award for a Missouri man who claimed the widely used herbicide caused cancer in a decision that could have sweeping impacts on thousands of other Americans who similarly claim the product sickened them.

They wanted power to make themselves comfortable while they play their lil' progressive policy games.

The new ones want power for revolution.

Could it be because "normal Dems" have been loudly hating America, its history, its founding stock, 'whiteness,' heterosexuality, religion, and normality itself for the past two decades?

Now suddenly "normal" Dems want to ostentatiously wave the flag on the 250th to show what great patriots they are. To distance themselves from the radicals they created.

92 Hunter's thoughts on the NYC election:

"I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it.
Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed.

A senior fellow at the Center for American Progress.

We are going to be subjected to Candy Coated Communism for a long time to come. And probably a lot of very hateful sounding horseshit. More than usual.

They have the umbrella now (magic!) to both gather their radicals and keep their base. One side says all the shit they've been dying to say out loud for years.

Yeah, it seems like it was somewhat performative, like a comfortable teen rebelling against daddy, knowing he/she will never be kicked out, disowned, inheritance lost, etc. It as "edgy" while still enjoying all the benefits of a stable, functioning normie America. You get the thrill of disruption without really paying the price.

The new generation is different, partly because they accepted the rebellion 110%, not understanding there were limits so that comfort could be maintained. Nope, they are true believers - yes, the planet really is dying (and all the other hyperbole), so it's by any means necessary time, you guys!

The other part is that there's now a lot of young foreigners in the mix who hate us, hate our country, and *don't want to maintain comfort**. They crave our discomfort, their aim is to end it permanently, and as one of Mamdani's acolytes has openly advocated: end western civilization.

143 The answer is that they will support the obscenity of the Democratic Socialist wing because the political philosophy of the Democrat party is simply a prettier version of Stalin's...

...they're afraid their friends and social media personalities will call them evil Nazi racist CHUDs if they aren't 150% down for the socialist struggle.

In fact, there are two main cohorts for the bulk supporters (not the rich elite that run them):

1- the bored AWFL who is comfortably bored, feels guilty for having it so well, and wants an easy, low-risk way to do something of "value". Slacktivism while keeping your money but getting to fly your queer flags and bumper stickers for free public validation

2- True lazy or losers. It's tough to make a decent living. More so if you're dumb and ugly. Instead of working harder, embrace your loserness, say it's a lifestyle choice, and it's why society oppresses you and makes you fail. Dems promise to give you a free life.

The last group reminds me of Ephialtes from the movie 300. He couldn't accept a limited, but important, role in society, so he went to Xerxes who would let him do whatever and reward him, as long as he submitted.

Take a look at the demographic breakdown of the voters who went for the communist candidates in NYC including Mamdani. They didn't lead or convert anyone, they are part of a newly created demographic that includes over educated know nothings that have been indoctrinated for generations in our garbage schools and immigrants, lots of 3rd world immigrants.

We allowed our public schools and universities to become radicalized and that's what they are teaching. And we've had years of mass immigration, legal and illegal, of people with no intention of assimilating. They tend to infest big cities and not just in blue states.

One thing for damn sure, no matter how much power they gain none of them can govern any batter than Bernie Sanders.

154 We're seeing Leftists ally with Muslims everywhere.

Muslims getting over 10% or so is the tipping point when allied with Leftists. Muslims turnout and vote as a block, as do Leftists.

They're 15% in London and are over 10% in many English cities. They're not in the shires, and are only 6% of all Britain.

In NYC they're over 9%, but only 1% for the entire USA (Jews are 2-3%). I've pointed out that NYC has odd local politics that exacerbate the effect of the Muslim/Leftist voting alliance. Which is why we're seeing Mamdami & Co getting so much attention because they now control NYC Media Central.

There could be good in this, if it wakes up Americans to Turnout. For instance, I expect that Blakeman will take out Hochul for the NY Governorship. Lee Zeldin made a kamikaze run last time and nearly won.

175 If you crave mental clarity and want to cut through the confused psychological operations being foisted upon you by malefactors who enjoy messing with you, I will ALWAYS tell you what's actually going on. (When I know which certainly isn't always.)

The Hunter post spells out the op pretty well. He's being deployed as a "truth teller" but what he's really doing is using his trusted name (my word as a Biden) to massage the narrative for the normies and everyone else.

And the narrative for now is - they had Trump, now WE have this, and they are therefore *automatically* equivalent. Basically acting like their harbored extremism is some kind of mirror or reaction, when really it's just a new operation, and the only plausible direction they could go in once Trump yoinked the political center and gave them no "old" place to push back.

Trump used the truth to take over the political scene. They are using their same old tired deranged lies but now amplified. And claiming that if it's the same *volume* as Trump it must therefore contain the same substance. And it will work on a lot of people. But Trump is still around - and will have an effective response at some point.

We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it’s useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home.

213 Democrats played the very long game. Where did it start? Post 1960s, the radicals quit trying to change society overtly. They all went into education.

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

Christopher Rufo makes the same salient point in his last book "America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything."

The American Marxist cultural revolution of the '60s and '70s failed because they couldn't seize the means of PHYSICAL production.

They then "retooled and seized upon" Herbert Marcuse's strategy of taking over all the institutions beginning with the academy.

Now they've succeeded because they have effectively seized the means of KNOWLEDGE, INFORMATION, and COMMUNICATIONS production.

Buckminster Fuller (the geodesic dome guy) had an answer for that.

He went to give one of his talks (don't remember if it was NYC... most major cities have the same scam) and they told him he had to hire two stagehands.

"But I just give a lecture. I don't need any stagehands."

"Gotta hire 'em. No stagehands, no lecture."

So he called up a music store, rented a couple of grand pianos, and had them delivered to the venue.

Then, throughout his entire lecture, he'd stop and say "Now, I want that piano over there, and *that* piano over *there*.

As I recall, they didn't try to pull that crap on him the next time he visited that town.

Replying to @LatamData
The FT reports that Caracas is preparing to disclose total debt of roughly USD 240 billion, a figure materially higher than the market's working range of USD 150 billion to 200 billion and one that would make this the largest sovereign restructuring on record, eclipsing the Greek default of 2012 and its USD 200 billion.

The number is to be put to creditors in the coming weeks, alongside a macroeconomic framework due later this month that will size the battered economy near USD 100 billion, down from about USD 370 billion in 2012, which places the debt at something above 200 percent of output. [ . . . ]

343 It's interesting to watch the slow collapse of institutions that were captured.

I sorted today's mail and found an "invitation" to support my alma mater by joining its life insurance group. It's the fifth mailing this month for a fundraising, whether sales or alumni events.

A few years ago, a Jewish classmate told me flat out that she won't support a nest of anti-semitism. The younger alumni, particularly those from overseas, don't donate unless there's a significant quid pro quo. Admission scandals and Chinese students smuggling in bioweapons have the old-timers dropping support and changing their wills.

Posted by: gp
----
Looked it up. $113.85, HR charged (union dues, IRA contribution, etc included) , $61.80 regular time paid. Min 8 hrs on any day show up.
Then add in all the overtime. Anything over 8 hrs daily, over 40 hrs per week. Overtime on ANY holiday, sometimes paid even without working,the double and triple time for actually working on the holiday. Double time on overtime, triple time when it goes over 2 hours daily over over 4 hours weekly. Accumulated: the daily charge is independent of the weekly, and vice versa.
The union keeps the membership down, so that OT is almost guaranteed.
I had a college classmate who's father had been a city steam fitter along with his uncle. His father passed when he was in high school. His uncle said, as a "deceased legacy" he could get him into the union and the city job.
Five years after graduation we were talking and he said that he did the calculations, and he would never, short of starting a company, pass that total income as an engineer.

69 Two Women in a Landscape is rendered with de Kooning’s signature bold brushstrokes where ribbons of sensuously applied paint in fleshy, honied tones of pale blush and orange give rise to the two human figures. They appear to be in a lush landscape, defined through de Kooning’s mastery of greens and yellows that create a distinct fore-ground

Animated series ViQueens. Apparently not alphabet.
Just girllllll power.

EXCLUSIVE: Dutch-Norwegian director Zwart Arbeid gave a sneak peek of his upcoming animated feature ViQueens in a masterclass at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on Thursday, and Deadline can share the teaser exclusively too.

Co-starring Ella Purnell and Rita Ora in the voice cast, with a special appearance by global soccer superstar Erling Haaland, the adventure-comedy follows fearless Viking girls Ingrid and Hedvig as they defy tradition to return a stowaway boy to China.

Their journey spans icy fjords, Byzantine intrigue, and the fabled Silk Road, blending Viking grit with ancient Chinese wisdom, unexpected alliances, and a touch of magic.

162 SCOTUS ruling:

Next up is Mullin v. Al Otro Lado.

The vote is 6-3.

This case challenges the federal government’s policy of systematically turning back asylum seekers before they reach the U.S.-Mexico border. The Ninth Circuit held that noncitizens who were turned away before they could enter the U.S. had “arrived in” the United States for purposes of federal immigration law and therefore could apply for asylum.

The court reverses the Ninth Circuit.

A couple of Florida rednecks hell bent on motoring through in a fast boat wouldn't think twice about running Iran's silly blockade. But a multi-billion dollar VLCC without insurance and a skittish crew isn't going to even think about it.

Every time someone in Iran runs their mouth about the Hormuz being "closed" we oughta' drop 20 2000lb bombs on 20 of their mosques. And then tell them to shut the fuck up.

It is 6-3.

Kagan dissents, joined by Sotomayor and Jackson.

This case is a challenge to the decision by then-Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to end Temporary Protected Status (a program that allows recipients to remain in the US and work if they cannot return safely to their own countries) for Syrian and Haitian nationals.

The court holds that the Syrian and Haitian nationals are not "entitled to orders postponing the terminations during litigation."

The Supreme Court first holds that courts cannot review the Haitian and Syrian nationals' non-constitutional claims, because the TPS statute bars judicial review.

Trump is heading to Ankara in a week or two, and a headline in a Turkish outlet says that Trump told Erdogan he is attending Nato's Ankara summit 'just for him'.

1st, "arrives in" means actually "in" the United States, not at or near the border or a port of entry. Meaning asylum seekers can be turned back, we are not required to grant them entry and process--or even consider--their asylum claim.

30 1/8 x 35 in. (76.5 x 88.9 cm.)
Painted circa 1976.

In part, "Willem de Kooning’s depictions of women are among the most significant works of the Post-War period. De Kooning worked in the space between abstraction and figuration, allowing the two to flow into one another. His nonobjective works reference the human body in their arcs and rhythms, and his figural works slip into abstract lines and forms. The present work, Two Women in a Landscape, is a prime example of the artist’s masterful depiction of classical subject matter – both the female nude and landscapes – entwined with characteristic vibrancy and innovation."

AI Overview: The Environment: Reflects de Kooning's fascination with Long Island's East End, capturing an atmospheric blend of divine femininity and "mother earth" metaphors. (wut?)

De Kooning returned to the motif of women in outdoor settings throughout his career. See Willem de Kooning’s 1950s "Woman" series. 🧻

236 I think it's the point now where Clark is stupid for staying in the WNBA. The league has proven by overwhelming doubt they don't want to grow, damn sure don't want straight, white women with talent and really don't care about the product they produce for the public.

I mean, I'm already not watching, now I don't really care what happens with Clark anymore. She's lying there and taking it, all while turning her reputation into she's nothing but a whiny bitch.

Not that I care about the WNBA, but I don't like that kind of brutal bullying in the game.

Incidental contact, sure it happens.

That crap, no.

The WNBA should establish a new rule for fouls like that that takes the player who fouls out of the game with no replacement for...oh, say, 5 minutes.

With a "no payment" ban on playing at all in the next 5 games for a second offense during the same game.

That would put an immediate end that nonsense.

They actually had an "Important Announcement" where they summarized the plot for people just coming in. Explicitly telling them that their minds have been swapped. These people are actually Steed and Peele. And the villains actually are in Peele and Steed's bodies.

263 The WNBA is missing a huge and profitable bet with Caitlin Collins, one that could increase their attendance and viewership by a factor 10, easily!

Imagine this: let Caitlin continue to play as usual, but hire on a group of Polish Euro-league players to be her teammates. Tell each of them they have to put a blonde wig on and call themselves "Mary", that'll please the trans crowd. Her job will be just to shoot; their job will be to punch anyone on the other team who tries to bother her in the mouth. Expect 2 - 3 bench clearing brawls each game, so make sure and have a whole line of 6'6" Polish goons on the bench ready and waiting for it. They can call their team the "White Demons".

Jordan got pummeled early in his career.

If you want to blame anyone for how Jordan "got away with things," blame the officials and the league. THEY'RE the ones that stopped calling things. Jordan just got away with what they let him.

MJ didn't win a championship until 91 when Bird and Johnson were basically done and Detroit broke up. That's when the NBA really changed what was allowed on offense.

And the thing that makes him above the rest in most cases was he made the players AROUND him better. He wasn't a selfish player. Sure, he'd dominate a game or take over in crunch time, but there were plenty of examples where he would draw the defense and dish it for the final shot.

Much like OnlyFans (also owned by the same group of people), it's intended to gradually deteriorate American society through reduced birth rates, racial mixing and promoting homosexuality.

For the most part, it's working. America's replacement rate among native born citizens is cratering.

This is why I've never been into basketball. The definition of a foul is so inherently subjective as to be meaningless, and yet every close game hinges on how the ref sees it.

It applies to pass interference and holding, etc. in football as well, but I somehow like football.

The Morning Report — 6/ 25 /26

BabyJames.jpg

Good morning kids. The big story this morning is that a massive earthquake struck Venezuela late yesterday afternoon and first reports indicate mass casualties and destruction. Prayers for the victims and Godspeed to the rescue workers, which of course will, as is always the case, include many Americans both in and out of uniform.

Venezuela was rocked by its strongest earthquakes in over a century on Wednesday afternoon — causing widespread destruction in the capital of Caracas and fears of as many as 100,000 casualties.
A magnitude 7.2 quake struck roughly 100 miles west of Caracas, followed by a 7.5 magnitude tremor just a minute later, according to the US Geological Survey. “High casualties and extensive damage are probable, and the disaster is likely widespread,” the USGS warned. 

Closer to home it looks as if a couple of political earthquakes are shaking up the establishments of both parties. On the latest episode of the podcast, linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the popular platforms listed at the bottom of this post, both CBD and i discussed the ramifications locally in NYC and nationally with the victory of Mad Mamdani minions who are equally insane and tyrannical in their views.

Repulsive and Gorgon-esque as James Carville is, he still remains as a key representative and thought leader such as the case may be of the mainstream Democrat party. And he is having massive conniption fits over the primary election in New York.

Carville freaked out at the results. He noted that Avila Chevalier, who was born to Dominican immigrants, once said white people should not be in interracial marriages. “Lady, I ain’t in the same party as you,” Carville said. “I’m sorry. I’m just not. And I actually do think it’s time for Democrats to talk the ‘s’ word: schism. I really do. Everybody’s always said, ‘No, no. We’re a coalition. We’re a big tent. And there’s just some sh*t I can’t be in the same tent with.” Carville then insisted that despite winning their Democratic primaries, “these people are not Democrats.” He then suggested that establishment Democrats “negotiate the terms of a schism” with democratic socialists in the party.

Oh, James, old boy, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you are most definitely in the same party as this filthy evil slag. Meh, this would be amusing if it weren't so disgusting. The descriptor of "Far-Left" for some Democrats is the same as "Radical" for Muslims. It's a redundancy. It's a naked attempt to whitewash and minimize the core beliefs and values of each which are self-evident through their actions over a long and bloody history. A history of causing a civil war to preserve slavery, and then to repress the freed slaves for over 100 years and create one of the most massive welfare states to keep them enslaved for your political gain at the cost of trillions of dollars and tens of thousands of wasted lives. And when you've genocided the hell out of your base, the only thing left is to throw open the borders and register third world wetback criminals by the millions as Democrats and steal the elections you still can't win legitimately.

Carville, you and yours have done all you could to hack away at the Constitution and individual liberty in order to create a gargantuan centralized bureaucracy where your fellow travelers are at the controls generationally and in perpetuity. The views of Wilson and FDR are crystal clear in dismantling America as founded in service of that fever dream of absolute power.

And the disparate groups in your big tent share one thing in common — an incandescent hatred for this country, its citizens, history, heritage and western Judeo-Christian civilization, morality and sanity, and so for Carville and others of his ilk to be freaking out over what happened in NYC, where the hell was he when Bernie Sanders was elected to the Senate over and over again on a platform of naked in-your-face communism which is exactly what got elected in NYC and lookie here what's happening in California, surprise surprise!

The Mamdani regime in New York City has already been making noises about moving on this sort of thing, and now the LA County Board of Supervisors is following suit. People will call this socialism but in some ways this is worse. They’re not just proposing a government takeover of private property, what they’re proposing to do is to use government power and taxpayer money to seize private property and turn it over to their political allies who will run ‘community groups’. This is fundamentally no different than politicians using eminent domain to seize property and transfer it to their political allies who then fund their political campaigns. . .

. . . Socialist governments create pressure on landlords through every possible means. As prices rise and housing stock drops, creating a ‘housing crisis’, they cite the homeless vagrants as evidence that there is a serious threat and justify property seizures. We’re now in stage 3 of their plan. Stay tuned for stage 4.

You know what else has a "stage 4?" Incurable cancer.

As we also noted on the podcast, this bit of very positive news.

The Prairieland case in Texas is actually worth celebrating because it’s one of the few times the feds went after an Antifa-linked group with real teeth, leading to the first federal terrorism-related convictions and sentencing of individuals affiliated with Antifa in U.S. history.

For once, the material support law was used, and it worked. But at the same time, it’s nowhere near enough, and that’s the frustrating part.

President Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization back in September 2025. That was supposed to mean something. Americans were supposed to see mass action against the violent extremists terrorizing our country. But months later, Prairieland stands out as almost the only case where they brought terrorist charges and took a group to trial over it.

Think about what the domestic terrorism definition actually says. It covers acts that are dangerous to human life, break criminal laws, and look like they’re meant to intimidate civilians, push the government to change policy through fear, or mess with government functions through destruction or attacks.

The Prairieland case is not the only time Antifa planned an attack meant to intimidate and cause mass destruction. It’s not even the first time that the violent group has acted to shut down federal immigration enforcement.

And Antifa is the unofficial (wink-wink) Democrat/Leftist brownshirt goon squad that take to the streets to commit political terrorism with the protection of Democrat politicians and worse Judges, Attorneys General and other corrupted appendages of our justice system to further their collective aims at societal dissolution and the accrual of absolute power.

Let's hope they all rot in prison and that God-forbid a future Democrat president does not set them free.

Have a good day,

So it would appear as though his appeal team is not going to try and overturn the conviction but, rather, argue that the punishment was too high and was driven by the actions of people other than the murderer.

The democrats are great at shapeshifting. They can become anything they want you to see at any time.

The difference now is, they're turning into what they've always wanted to be: A communist front that controls everything and removes all freedoms where they're the richest, strongest and most powerful government on the planet.

"Red alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. High casualties and extensive damage are probable and the disaster is likely widespread. Past red alerts have required a national or international response

Big Pharma is starting to remind me of the software developers of the aughts. Copy/Paste code that breaks to fix.

They're masking one thing and causing other things.

Look at the side effects. Depression? We've got drugs that will turn you into a zombie, give you uncontrollable muscle movements that might be permanent, suicidal thoughts worse than you already had, and cancer.

Big Pharma doesn't need cures, they need patients. The rich get richer and the poor get sicker.

You realize that Congress is most upset at Trump because of his interference in their grift. "Don't let a crisis go to waste" and a "Hell, its only paper money" attitude results in a Clintonesque Haitian Relief Program, or a Iraqi Oil For Food Program.

The attempt to re-prime the graft sluice through the so-called "Housing Bill" was thwarted by Trump's insistence on the SAA.

JUST the BP one first helped a little. the stack? he doesn't even want to go to the PRP doc appointment (he will anyway after waiting this long to get in!).

127 The Lebron James era of BBall has seen the largest erosion of fan viewership.


It is my belief that LeBitch James should be held out of the Hall of Fame, despite his 'record setting career' because of the damage he's done to the game with his constant whining and flopping.

He didn't invent it. That dubious distinction goes to Tim Duncan, the father of the NBA flop and whine. However, LeBitch has perfected it.

The NBA actually has a rule on the books that says excessive flopping, called 'embellishment,' is a foul. LeBitch is the last player, actually, to be called for it.

That was YEARS ago. The fact that the commissioner thinks LeBitch is a god and wants to have his baby, the rule has basically been removed from the book.

China FTW, baby.

This narrative that there is this huge revolutionary backlash in a dying dwindling party. There may be - and the door seems well and truly open to it - the only problem with that theory is - the party has been extreme all along, and it's not a revolution but a display.

The Democrats as constituted prior, have NOTHING to combat Trump's MAGA turn of the country. They tried. So they have gone down a very predictable route.

This blatant move toward full leftardism was foreseeable and predictable, when many others were thinking Dems would try to "tack to the center".

When they ARE the establishment, that is knocked but not dead.

Expect to be subjected to a ton of Candy Coated Communism this next couple years. That is what they will be selling and it will work a lot better than some here imagine.

I just hope Trump is around to take the air out of all of it. If I see what they are doing there is no doubt in my mind that he does. He will wait for his moment and defang it all.

The family was given donations because online leftist idiots think it’s cool to throw money at ghetto rats.
The money was all wasted on booze and bling because the parents are ghetto rats.
Because there was no money left, a prominent Dallas attorney volunteered to do it for free, which meant that he thought that it would be great cheap advertising for him and his firm.
Since this attorney was only doing it for the publicity, he ran a “defense” designed to give him, personally, the most online interviews and media attention.

There was no big conspiracy needed - everyone who was supposed to be on Karmello’s side treated him like a disposable diaper for their own personal profit. And they’re still laughing about it.

Good points.

I would ask what catalysts do you need to turn rust into iron and oxygen.

Went looking for the 300 foot “slit” or “slits” in the reflecting pool Trump keeps lying about. Didn’t find any of that. But did find plenty of signs the paint on the bottom of the pool has simply disintegrated. My latest pool report.

I assume that's what the bacteria would be for, but they need an energy source, and I don't know many bacteria that are active at such low temperatures...

271 I've seen some Caitlan Clark videos and she looks like a (very short) NBA caliber player versus a bunch of HS kids. The unfortunate part though is the other teams then spend a lot of effort trying to injure her.

She does have an enforcer on her team named Sophie Cunningham and the amusing part is Sophie is a beautiful woman - not at all how you would expect an enforcer to look especially in the WNBA. I suspect if Caitlan had her looks she'd been in every ad for women's stuff in America.

Traditionally societies put a lot of effort around regulating sex and pointing it in specific ways. This tells you it is something societies that do regulate sex get a positive outcome from it. The solutions are different from modern Christian monogamy to Islamic warfare for sex slaves but the fact all these societies see it as something important is a tell.

275 I admit that I've watched some of the World Cup, particularly the games played in Philly. While I can appreciate the athletic nature of the sport, the constant flopping and fake injury histrionics is a major turnoff.
I also snicker at the local shitlibs who are "proud" that the foreign visitors seem to be enjoying themselves and none of them have been murdered (yet). They aren't sticking around long enough to go visit the zombie zone up at K & A.

Bernie Sanders never ran as a Dem in Vermont. He was always elected as a socialist independent.

277 'Morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

Al Hunt's and James Carville's podcast is playing to the base, warning msm - "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain..." They're trying to pretend there's a contained socialist phenomenon (NYC), and maybe the smart AOC or, even better, Obama could step in and calm down the potentially bad publicity round it because... elections. Weekly podcasts, such as Carville's, aren't yet hitting the mark.

What about Spanberger and Sherrill wins in NJ and VA, much more important in national politics? Why isn't the Republican party being labeled the party of Clay

278 Higgins or Andy Ogle? Why has Israel's right to exist even entered (democratic) politics? Unity is what's needed to win.

>New3lv: Mamdani-backed House candidate's deleted posts called for abolishing police, borders, The National News Desk, Tue, June 2, 2026

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist congressional candidate whom New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani endorsed, deleted a previous Twitter account in which she posted calls for abolishing police, borders, and prisons, in addition to seizing private property, nationalizing major industries, and claiming Israel doesn't exist.

Chevalier, a 32-year-old investigator at a New York City public defender’s office and a doctoral student, is challenging Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat in the June 23 primary for New York’s 13th Congressional District, CNN reported Monday.

The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine saved more than 3,600 tweets from Avila Chevalier’s account between 2018–2022, but it’s unclear when the account was deleted.

(Much more followed. Reading ALL suggested.)

But why is it necessary for Carville to isolate one comment about race reportedly made by Chevalier in the past?

279 It's another cover.

>The Haitian Times, Anti-Haitian bias in Dominican political circles laid bare in NY congressional race
As Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemns “Haitian” being used as a slur, an Upper Manhattan race exposes old racial tensions rooted in Hispaniola, the island Dominicans and Haitians share. Published June 23, 2026

Overview:
A heated congressional race in New York is surfacing long-standing anti-Haitian and anti-Black tensions in some Dominican spaces after a candidate’s identity became a political attack line.

AND something else that erupted in the city yesterday:
👉NBC News, NYC coffee shop tells Rep. Dan Goldman he’s not welcome over his pro-Israel views
Goldman told NBC News he was shocked by the coffee shop’s post on social media “because the interaction in the shop could not have been nicer.”

Can you imagine?!!

Carville doesn't give a rat's a** Darializa Avila Chevalier doesn't like White women with Black men, probably the least troublesome of her alleged comments.

He cares about putting 25 new US Reps into the House and that Hakeem Jeffries isn't damaged.

The War Room is redirecting the new breed & press at MAGA for the win. Period.

imho

280 Also above, "...now the LA County Board of Supervisors is following suit. People will call this socialism but in some ways this is worse. They’re not just proposing a government takeover of private property, what they’re proposing to do is to use government power and taxpayer money to seize private property and turn it over to their political allies who will run ‘community groups.’

Gee-whiz. And all the while the Obama daughters live in Los Angeles.

Makes one wonder.
