The Week In Woke
Tuq'r Qarlson, Marjorie Trailer-Queen, and Thomas Massie keep selling their agenda of Woke for White People (TM):
Surprise! Universities continue discriminating against white and Asian applicants despite the Supreme Court being emphatic that this is illegal racial discrimination.
The Department of Justice has concluded that Duke University School of Law intentionally discriminated against applicants based on race, finding that the school continued giving admissions preferences to black and Hispanic applicants even after the Supreme Court struck down race-conscious college admissions. The DOJ's Civil Rights Division announced Thursday that Duke Law violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in admissions for its incoming classes of 2023, 2024 and 2025. The department said the practices also violated the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which restricted universities' use of race in admissions. In an Aug. 6 findings letter, the DOJ said investigators reviewed Duke Law's internal documents and admissions data and determined the school continued "intentionally" granting and denying admission based on race following the Supreme Court decision. "Duke Law School doesn't get a free pass to discriminate against white and Asian students simply because it thinks it has good intentions," Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon said. "Using 'diversity' essay questions to identify preferred races for admission is still illegal discrimination based on race, and this Department is committed to eliminating it everywhere we find it, including in our nation's law schools."
Sue them until they can't shit straight.
Meanwhile: a transgender "professor" says that having a normal gender/sex "isn't real" and that non-gay sex is "unnatural."
A Christian physician assistant who was fired after refusing to facilitate transgender procedures and use preferred pronouns won a $410,000 settlement from her former employers. In May 2021, Valerie Kloosterman was a physician assistant at the University of Michigan Health-West. The hospital required Kloosterman to complete a diversity training module on LGBTQ+ issues, the Daily Signal reported. According to Kloosterman's lawsuit, the module required her affirm statements concerning sexual orientation and gender identity that went against her Christian faith, which says God ordains a person's sex. To go against that, whether it be through surgery or the use of preferred pronouns, she believes, is going against God's will. The lawsuit also argues that her Hippocratic oath to "do no harm" prevents her from facilitating procedures she believes do more harm than good. In July 2021, Kloosterman met with the hospital's DEI program director, who was hostile toward her beliefs, told her she couldn't bring her religious beliefs into the workplace, and called her "evil," according to the lawsuit. He also claimed that a failure to use preferred pronouns would drive patients to commit suicide. The hospital fired her the following August. In addition to the monetary settlement, the hospital has implemented a new policy that won't require employees to act in ways that violate their religious beliefs.
University of Pennsylvania Professor Beans Velocci published a book this year claiming "sex isn't real" and the gender "binary" is "incoherent." Velocci is an assistant professor in history and the sociology of science who claims to be nonbinary and transgender. This identification has shaped the professor's questions and conclusions because "that is how knowledge works," Velocci wrote in the book titled "Sex Isn't Real: The Invention of an Incoherent Binary." In an interview with Duke University Press, which published the book, Velocci expressed joy that "any right wing or TERF detractor who wants to s***-talk the book is going to have to say or write the phrase 'Sex Isn't Real' in the process." Velocci claims in the book that "cisness" is unnatural and that people fitting into their "assigned sex category" took a large amount of work to construct and maintain. Sex science throughout the 19th and 20th centuries was a close ally to those invested in supporting white-supremacist governance and ejecting women from political life, Velocci claims. "Science continues to be an anti-trans ally," the professor wrote, adding that sex has little to do with bodies, but is instead about categories and who controls them. The professor also wrote that "current efforts to annihilate transness are couched in references to biology and science."LOL. We're "couching" biology and science in "references to biology and science." How dare we. Mother and her two trans pals arrested for murder of mentally handicapped 7-year-old boy.
Three people have been charged with the murder of a seven-year-old Ohio boy, with prosecutors saying that the young boy had suffered abuse at the hands of the defendants for months. Those arrested include the boy's mother as well as two trans-identified males. Per WLWT5, Kaitlin Evans, 39, Nessa Keaney, 23, and Kirby Rankin, 33, were arraigned on charges of murder and child endangerment inside a Hamilton County courtroom Friday. Evans was identified as the mother of the boy, while Rankin and Keaney have been identified as being transgender.A Portland, OR judge granted a "sweatheart deal" -- no jail time -- to a repeat antifa offender who admitted -- nay, boasted -- of punching and kicking cops and violently grabbing their genitals.
If I beat the shit out of an antifa thug in Portland, will I be excused jail time because it would be bad for my mental health? Or nah? Nah, right?
A violent Antifa-affiliated agitator has avoided jail time after admitting to assaulting several federal agents during a direct action outside the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon. The incident occurred on June 29, 2025. August Dean Gordon, 32, of Beaverton, physically assaulted numerous federal officers, admitting to "kicking" and "headbutting" agents when they arrested him for damaging ICE facility property. This includes violently grabbing their genitals, according to court documents. US District Court Judge Amy Baggio sentenced Gordon in late July to four months of home detention followed by five years of probation. The prosecutor sought a four-month prison term, while the defense asked for one year of supervised release. The judge declined prison time, citing that it would be counterproductive for Gordon's mental health, his lack of a prior criminal history, and the lifelong burden of a felony conviction, per the Oregonian.
Gordon, prosecutors continued, "boasted" about his "assaultive behavior," proudly declaring that he "kicked and headbutted officers," showing no "remorse" for his actions. US attorneys said that five officers were injured.
Savanah HernandezAnother Decarceration Success Story from Charlotte, North Carolina.
@Savsays I visited Seattle's $165 million dollar downtown library and it was OVERRUN with drug addicts. Not only is this library filled with adults who are high on drugs, but they also offer FREE fentanyl test strips, syringes and injectable narcan that anyone, including children, can access. Visitors have complained of "foul odors", unusable restrooms and harassment by the homeless and I experienced all of this while at this location. Seattle residents just passed a tax increase to raise $480 million dollars for libraries just like this one and this is unfortunately the state that they're in.
Convicted Killer Allegedly Shoots Man Dead Less Than 2 Hours After Release
David Simpson, 29, is charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder
A man already convicted of manslaughter allegedly shot and wounded one man and killed a second in Charlotte, North Carolina less than two hours after being released last week on bond. FOX News reported that 29-year-old David Simpson now faces charges that include first-degree murder and "possession of a firearm by a felon." He is in custody and being held without bond. WCNC noted that Simpson "was released from Mecklenburg County jail around 12:20 a.m. on Wednesday," then allegedly carried out the fatal shooting at 1:45 p.m.
The shooting occurred at an apartment complex and is believed to have resulted from an argument over a parking space. Simpson's girlfriend, Shakema Scott, is charged "with accessory after the fact."

New Evidence Suggests That "The Most Secure Election in Earth History" Wasn't So Much
I'm gonna need a minute on this one. My programming needs a big update.New evidence further undermines claim that 2020 election was 'most secure' in history Declassified documents, other evidence, reveal that despite official assurances of a secure 2020 election, government agencies possessed intelligence regarding significant security vulnerabilities, foreign data breaches, and potential manipulation risks. After several batches of documents were recently declassified and released by the White House, the American people now have more evidence than ever that while officials claimed 2020 was a historically secure election, the government had plenty of evidence of security vulnerabilities, hacks and foreign interference. Shortly after the election, senior government officials insisted that it was the "most secure" in American history, deflecting concerns about security, including about voting systems and mail-in-ballots. ... However, after the new batches of documents were declassified and released this summer by the White House, Americans have more evidence than ever that those same officials knew about significant breaches of election data and internally raised concerns about how foreign actors could influence the election and the vulnerability of electronic voting machines. ... Maricopa exfiltration of voter registration data The latest evidence released by the White House this week shows that the FBI investigated a breach of voter registration data in Arizona's largest county in the days before the 2020 election. In that incident, a self-described hacker foiled security and obtained 633,000 voter registration files, but the Biden Justice Department and local prosecutors declined to bring charges even after the FBI got the suspect to confess, Just the News reported on Thursday. The scraping of Maricopa County's voter registration files was the most flagged security incident in a cyberintrusion log kept by U.S. spy agencies in the days surrounding the Nov. 3, 2020, election, showing that intelligence officials were monitoring the breach while voting was ongoing.The article discusses China's hacking of the US voter databases. See the article for more on that. This is the most alarming possibility: We know that Venezuela rigged its own elections to fake a "win" for Maduro. And Maduro is a nasty communist enemy of the US. Did he do the same thing to the US elections, to get a demented old socialist fool "elected"?
What would we do without "agencies" to tell us that foreign threats aren't threats at all, but opportunities for us to be welcoming and open-minded. And, of course:
The declassified documents released by the White House also show that from 2004 to 2020, U.S. intelligence agencies monitored plans by the Venezuelan leadership to electronically manipulate their country's own voting machines, including the use of substituting false votes, to secure victory for the ruling socialists. The plans raised alarm as early as 2006 among U.S. officials as a potential avenue for the Venezuelans to attempt to "undermine confidence in, or manipulate the electoral process in, the United States," according to a June 2026 CIA summary of prior intelligence reporting on Caracas' capabilities. By 2020, the CIA had obtained reporting on Venezuelan plans to swing the country's election that year by manipulating electronic voting machines in a way that would make false votes appear legitimate and leave no trace of the changes. The intelligence raised questions about whether some U.S. voting machines could be vulnerable to similar types of manipulation, though agencies assessed that Venezuela did not have the capability to do so in the U.S.
Non-citizens on voter rolls Additionally, an assessment by the Homeland Security Department found that hundreds-of-thousands of illegal aliens were on the voter rolls in four states -- and estimated the total across the whole country to be higher. A review conducted earlier this year using publicly available voter data in California, Nevada, New Jersey and Pennsylvania found over 250,000 illegal voters on the rolls, Just the News reported.Tangentially related: While Democrats whine about Trump firing disloyal subversive operatives, Hillary Clinton urges the next Democrat president, who will not be her, to fire every single Republican, no matter how minor or how far from any actual power.
Hillary Clinton: A Democrat president must "get rid of all" Trump admin people so they don't subvert the Democrat administration.

"Do not let anybody hang around in some small office somewhere."

Talk about projection. But think about what Clinton is saying there -- she's talking about the tactic of suborning a president's agenda by holding the civil service, in the context of accusing President Donald Trump of possibly doing it. She does not appear to be just talking about the political positions, saying a Democrat president needs to get rid of Trump people: "Get rid of all the holdovers. Do not let anybody hang around in some small office somewhere who can literally subvert your program and you don't even know the person is there." She even talks about how you can move people from political positions into the civil service to help keep them in government positions, predicting that Trump "will try to move" people to do this.
Advertisement The civil service positions aren't supposed to be political appointments. "People are going to have to be really searching," she said, " To make sure they're not going to be literally subverted from within the government." What was that people were saying about a "deep state" and every accusation being a confession? Is this an admission about the past? So Clinton would do a "purge" of anyone for the sin of being supportive of Trump or Trump positions. Purging opposing views sounds like a typical move from the folks who keep claiming to be the "defenders of democracy."

We were told the election machines were not connected to the internet. They lied. They can be manipulated by anyone with an internet connection, the address of the machine and the password.

I don't KNOW any of that, obviously - that's not what I do for a living. But I've been watching Trump's organization pick Fulton apart. Maricopa's next .

Unfortunately, the fraud is perpetual. They removed 471,000 ineligible voters from the GA rolls. In less than 30 days, some of the names removed were showing back up. An educated guess is that the DMV is entirely compromised, of some jackass forgot the Motor Voter application of Georgia (which I bleieve is Opt out). So, any of those 471,000 popping in to renew their license gets put right back on the voter rolls, and they likely never knew they were removed in the first place....so they will be voting again, or a surrogate will be in their place.

Some things are known about the relationship between Smartmatic, which was the original Venezuelan company that rigged elections for Chavez and then established an office in Boca Raton, and Dominion but a lot is being hidden behind lawsuits.
Smartmatic sold their Sequoia voting machines division to Dominion but as far as I know it hasn't been proven that Dominion runs Smartmatic software but it seems highly likely even though they deny it.
Smartmatic is now owned by a British group, there they are again, and the guy running it is Lord Malloch Brown who was also at one time the president of George Soros' Open Society Foundation. In other, a complete leftist piece of shit who loves to cheat against conservatives.

I'm sure that's true.
But all 471,000 of them aren't renewing their licenses. Call it - catastrophically over-estimating - 100,000 that get added back.
That's still 371,000 ballots off the board for the Dems.

Ossoff has incumbency and GA is supposedly a swing state, so it makes sense. I hope the clean up of Fulton gives us a pleasant surprise.
Cooper in NC is effectively an incumbent, being the previous governor who just left office 2 years ago and it being an open race. The assumption is that he has that advantage, but he's polling like Cunningham did in 2020 against Tillis, and Cunningham lost, all while the registration advantage Democrats had in 2020 has completely been erased. There were 400,000 more Democrats than Republicans in 2020 in NC. Now there are 10,000 more Republicans than Democrats.
Last time Cooper won statewide election was 2020, and he won by 250,000 votes.
Anyone honest should at least call NC a tossup.
I think it's lean R, frankly. I think Cooper is the underdog, especially since his governorship actually ended pretty badly (Helene) with some bad lingering issues (prisoner releases leading to murders and soft on crime policies that led to Iryna).

We have returned to the spoils system, and I am happy.
Before, we still had the spoils system, but only Democrats got the spoils. We had a perpetual Democrat state in the administrative state that could never be supplanted or reduced.
Trump changed that by firing at least 1/3 of all federal employees for whatever reason he wanted.
So, yes, Democrats will fill the administration from top to bottom with cronies. But so will Republicans when they take office.
Getting what we want from government when Republicans are in power is a massive shift in our favor.

Instead of relying on polling per se on the horse race, instead of incumbents or near incumbents like Cooper in NC below 50 percent of the vote. Those are the vulnerable ones where spending on turnout contacts and ads can make a difference.
In Collins' case, she polls poorly in every election and yet wins with the D overstatement in double digits in polling. Depending on which poll you believe, tOssof is below 50 btw in some, not all.

In 2014, she was leading every poll by double digits.
And they were still wrong.
She won by 40. They assumed an average of her winning by 30.
That's outside the margin of error, meaning that the polls, while directionally correct, were actually wrong.
It's like looking at the MI Democrat primary polling and saying that sure, they got the number wrong (assuming El-Sayed winning by 15) but they got the direction right (El-Sayed won by 1). No, the polls were just wrong.

Registered independents in NC lean heavily Republican and have for decades.
Cooper is genuinely the underdog, and NC summer polling showing him ahead tells us nothing because NC summer polling is garbage.
In addition, when governors of the "wrong party" go for Senate races, their whole "good guy from the other party who isn't so bad" aura falls apart. Voters are a bit less partisan on statewide-state level races, but they trend towards hard partisanship on federal statewide races.
Just ask Larry Hogan who went from popular Republican governor of Maryland to losing by about 25 points in the Senate race.

I've been predicting this for years, including in these here little boxes. The easiest thing in the world would be to hand over programs that are already being administered by the states, like Medicaid, housing, and SNAP. The federal government could give the states a declining block grant and let the states either tighten up eligibility (and purge fraud) as the federal money winds down, or replace the declining federal money with their own taxpayers' money (further fueling the exodus of productive citizens and businesses to the red states).

State polling sucks for the most part because it is as expensive as national polling for a representative sample and a helluva lot more difficult in weighting because of rural/urban/suburban respondents non response and then the problem with accurately sampling minorities.
Add in the problem with area codes no longer corresponding with actual addresses and lying about actually voting in past elections (NES--National Election Survey UMich, got absurdly high responses about voting in past elections; when they actually checked who did vote, over time, the divergence between who voted and who lied about voting became a 20-30 point liars gap making the data useless.

Not really, you simply do things via state agencies but retain the statutory authority to act and order states to act in compliance with the federal law. We already do this for example with food inspection, environmental compliance, etc. etc. Then there is moving duplicative parts of agencies to one agency--like the DoE moving its authority (and its attorney jobs going away) to the DoJ on civil rights issues. The statutes often don't specify which Fedgov department does the task but simply some department does.

Stuff in your freezer is fine for a day, maybe longer if you just leave it alone and don’t open it.
Go to 7-11 and grab ice and toss stuff into a cooler if you’re desperate.

Last time she was officially in charge of monitoring her own election for governor. And refused any debates with her opponent. How can you be in charge of monitoring your own election? And she's already stating she won't debate her challenger this time either. Her usual excuse is that they are "election deniers". You know, the elections she supposedly oversaw.

Population declined. 292,000 removed from the workforce, all from 16-59 age group.
Meaning deportations.
Our population is declining (2025 saw the first overall population decline since the 60s because of deportations).
Do you expect 150,000 jobs per month on average when population is declining?
Also, most of the jobs decline was because of decreased public sector employment. Manufacturing was up 50,000.
Also, go eat some hobo ass.

Red Cross Animated Propaganda Feature Lauds Sharif for His Brave (Illegal) Journey to Greece to Culturally Enrich That Nation, Then Deletes the Cartoon After Sharif Cultural-Enrichment-Murders a Woman and Stuffs Her Body Into a Suitcase
The Red Cross should be prosecuted as a terrorist-adjacent organization.
Oh you deleted the evidence out of respect for the victim's family, huh? Fucking liars. The right must totally boycott this corrupt organization. Another charity, one that doesn't eagerly propagandize for terrorists or conspire with illegals to pass borders, will rise to replace it. The Killer Migrant claims he discovered her dead and, "in a panic," decided it would be a good idea to stuff her body into a suitcase and hide it in an abandoned building. "As you do," as people say online.
The Red Cross has deleted a film tracking the journey of an Afghan migrant who is now accused of killing a British woman and hiding her body in a suitcase in Greece. Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, was arrested on Monday over the murder of Scottish Christian Elisabeth-Jane Ross, in Athens. Ahmadzai, a professional boxer who arrived in Greece on a small boat in 2016, is accused of killing Ms Ross before stuffing her body into a suitcase and ditching it in a derelict building. The 38-year-old's body was found by a homeless man on July 18, three days after she is believed to have been killed. It has now emerged the Afghan-national collaborated with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and a London artist to create a film following how he escaped Afghanistan and reached the Greek island of Lesbos aged 15. The four-minute animated film, named Game of Life: The Story of Sharif, was first shown on YouTube in December 2016, and includes a narration of his six-week migrant crossing. The sympathetic video follows how his father, who was a military commander, was killed in an ambush and his mother and siblings were killed by a suicide bomb attack in Kabul. Ahmadzai, accompanied by friends, was then smuggled out of Afghanistan's capital and journeyed through Iran and Turkey, before he reached a refugee camp on Lesbos, named Moria. The interview was conducted in Moria, and took place after Ahmadzai had been in the camp for six months. The video opens with, 'each migrant has a story worthy of a Hollywood movie'. Ahmadzai's journey from Afghanistan to Greece is said to have taken one-and-a-half months, with the smuggler quoted as calling it a 'game'. During which time, Ahmadzai was arrested in Istanbul after his first attempt to cross into Greece, the video described, and was held in prison for three days. The video also reveals Ahmadzai intended to reach the UK, where he claimed he had family who would look after him should he successfully cross from Greece. Voiced by an actor, he says: 'She told me: "I can take full responsibility of you, if someone helps get you to the UK." But, if I can't get there, I don't know what will happen to me.' Scott Craig, a spokesman for the charity, told the Daily Mail: 'Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Elisabeth-Jane Ross at this extremely difficult time. 'The video is no longer publicly accessible. We took this decision out of consideration for Elisabeth's family while the legal proceedings continue. 'We cannot comment further while legal proceedings are ongoing.'

The cops pulled him over for expired tags and asked to see his license, which he refused to do and after the cops spent a ton of time trying to talk sense into him the refugee pulled out a gun and got himself shot.
But while he was talking to the cops he blamed them and the west as a whole for all of his problems because back in Afghanistan he didn't have to register a car, show up to work on time, fill out his taxes and on and on.
There is no place for Muslims in the west - send them home where they can live by their own ways.

She wasn't a random victim like Laken Riley was. She actively pursued this outcome. She voted for representation who actively pursued this outcome. She condemned as racist and bigoted anyone who didn't want this outcome.
Fine.
She was savagely and horribly murdered. At least it wasn't someone random. She actively and deliberately participated in her own death.

Ahmadzai converted to Christianity and married US-born Christian Alaina Hall in 2023 before they set up a ministry helping refugees in Athens.
The couple are believed to have known Ms Ross, who was also a Christian volunteer, through their work.
Odds that either a) he was having an affair with Ms. Ross and she wasn't going to keep quiet about it or b) he wanted to and she didn't?

I knew for sure when RC was soliciting donations after 9-11. The implication was clearly that the donations would be used to help 9-11 victims and their families.
The RC was raking in piles of donations from 9-11, more money than it ever had before. 9-11 was a generational event, and lots of people wanted to help out.
Then the truth came out: RC was using donations solicited for 9-11 as any old general donations for general projects.
That meant the money people donated to help American victims of foreign terrorism was in large part going to ... foreign countries including Islamic ones.
It was a low-down dirty rotten scam. So fuck RC.

Typically, people object to real id because they say it's a de-facto national ID system that enables surveillance. That there are privacy risks. That it's federal overreach.
But if you're using a passport, you've basically given up ground on every one of those topics. You've got a national ID that enables surveillance and obviates privacy. I'm confused.

Fellow volunteer at a military museum (on a Marine base) was a Canal vet (aviation ground crew). When he asked the sentry at the gate one Aug. 7 why today was an important Marine anniversary, the kid knew! We were very surprised and impressed.
My friend *volunteered* to go to the Canal after the Night of the Battleships attack had inflicted many casualties. You see, his buddy from boot camp was with a squadron there. 18-yr old thinking.

I had a discussion with a guy claiming that Islam worshiped the same God as Christianity and I pointed out that Bahai claims the same things about Islam that Islam claims about Christianity so if Islam denies Bahai because their Holy Book says it is not the same religion, aren't Christians also correct in denying Islam as the Bible clearly says it is not the same God?
And while I didn't get him to agree it did cause him some significant cognitive dissonance so I think the Bahai example is a good one people should bring up more.

The 2nd one is the body that links all the national red crosses (and red crescents). The 3rd is the Swiss-based one that mainly attempts to monitor compliance with the Geneva Conventions.
Extensive direct experience (all international, overseas activities) with the Federation was pretty positive. They were helping organize/develop organizations in young/war-torn countries and helping with refugee stuff.
The Committee was very impressive, they do humanitarian aid where for various reasons others can't really do it. They helped me squelch a proposed US aid activity that was not needed and would have bad diplomatic fall-out. Thus my disgust when, after 9/11, their lawyers absurdly claimed the Conventions covered the new non-state actor battlefield.

The popular fake crash set-up here is when you're about to pull out of a parking lot onto a street,
the approaching car will signal like their going to turn into the parking lot and drive their car as if they're about to turn,
then if you start into the road, assuming the turn, they'll gun the engine, straighten, and hit you.
And..bingo bango!...You caused a car accident!

Having worked with so many organizations years ago, and seeing how impressive they were, it's been beyond shocking to see what they've become (partially, or largely, depending). People hearing of these outfits for the first time (my impression, most people) because of their distortion and enlistment in the recent vile disastrous project to flood the US with migrants, really can't appreciate just how outrageous the change has been.
Generational/standards decline, and the Obama years, wrought havoc far beyond what most people understand.

There's an important moment in evolutionary history called "Great American Interchange," when Nrth America and South America, which used to be separated, finally bumped into each other and connected via the isthmus of Panama. When happened was: Felines (saber-tooth cats, panthers, lions, etc.) which had been romaing around North American eating things for millions of years, first were able to cross over into South America. What a feast awaited them there! An entire continent of juicy prey mammals, just waiting to be hunted to extinction. None f the animals in South American had ever encountered a large predator before, so they had not evolved to be fearful, and thus were easily hunted.
Some species went extinct. Others evolved tobe fearful, and survived, but now as a more parsanpid/skittish species.
That's the dilemma now facing the west. Facing an invasion of predators, o we stay naive and go extinct, or evolve self-protective behavior?

It was a stupid thing to say but not because it is false. A woman's arousal secretions actually help transport sperm to where it needs to go and helps preserve its viability. Women usually are not aroused when they are r@ped. So the conception rate is somewhat lower than in consensual circumstances.
I think his overall point was that pregnancy from r@pe is not as common as the abortion proponents like to pretend in order to play on our sympathies.

If you think it’s overstating it to say that American publishing is governed by an insidious double standard, consider recent events at one of America’s biggest publishers. Last week, Simon & Schuster doubled down on its relationship with Palestinian American novelist Susan Abulhawa, despite her praise for a terrorist, her revival of Nazi-era antisemitic tropes, and her dark characterization of Jews as “ghouls,” “cockroaches,” and “demons.” At the same time, Jewish writers such as Alyssa Rosenheck and Meg Keene say they’ve had their events canceled, faced pressure to downplay Jewish identity, and had to deal with a publishing industry increasingly unwilling to stand behind them.

This is true but this is also a problem in that R candidates have to say and act perfectly throughout the election cycle while D candidates can say anything.
This benefits Democrats, obviously, but also means you get fewer grass roots/normal people running as a Rep and more Mitt Romneys because unless you've trained yourself it is easy to make a gaff that will be used against you and the whole party.

Sanders was asked about El-Sayed’s embrace of Piker, who has previously stated that “America deserved 9/11,” admitted he supports Hamas terrorists, and has openly encouraged and endorsed the killing of the political opposition.
Incredibly, while Sanders said he didn’t agree with the 9/11 comments, he boiled them down to Piker saying something “dumb” because he’s streaming long hours on social media every day. Plus, haven’t we all said something dumb like that that we’ve later regretted?
Sanders also used the moment to condemn “cancel culture,” saying that Piker needed to be heard and respected

The murdered Scottish woman was pretty much exactly like the American woman wh went o Ireland to hook up with Palestinian wife-beater who then murdered her: She has a "jungle fever" sex fetish for Muslim Bad Boys. The victim in this instance in Greece was basically the same--she had spend years "helping" virile migrant dudes in Southern Europe, "visiting them in the homes" and "disappearing" for days at a time with them, then reappearing with a big smile on her face. She knew this guy, had spend time with him on previous visit to Greece. But this time, something went wrong.

This is why I stated that it was a stupid thing to say, because it requires explanation and that opportunity wasn't there.
But I do bristle at the suggestion that abortion is a boon to r@pe victims. It does not erase anything for the woman beyond shortening her pregnancy and adds the moral/emotional burden of being partner to the death of an innocent person.

Yea, I've heard him do a few interviews and I don't know if he's 100% our team but he hates leftists and China with a passion. He pretty much torched his career by being so against China.

I had dealings with them from local disaster relief efforts and on their blood donation locally in the 90's and it didn't help that they were paying Liddy Dole a million bucks salary back then.
They used to be the preferred ngo that the military dealt with and by the time I left, their rep was not that good there either.
The problem with any organization is that they become leftist and self dealing over time unless those people are purged from the organization from the get go. As our ruling class became globo homo, the organizations that were founded by a better class of ruling elites have went sour across the board and been infiltrated by nasty leftists.

Liberal White Women Are Among the Most Fanatical Supporters of "Decarceration" and Also, Its Most Imperiled Victims
Supposedly a red state. (Blue city of course -- Charlotte, where Iryna was butchered on video by a skel with a long list of previous arrests and indulgences.)It's critical that all white people avoid racial slurs. But all minorities can use them as they please, while beating innocent strangers into the pavement. Just some good ol' Street Reparations.
North Carolina career criminal arrested after attacking, chasing women in terrifying social media videos By Nicholas McEntyre
A North Carolina career criminal is accused of randomly punching and hospitalizing a woman while chasing down another victim in a separate attack as he posted the disturbing footage across social media. Di-Quan Schafar Hunt was arrested Thursday for committing the alleged assault in a residential neighborhood on the 400 block of East Boulevard in Charlotte, NC, on July 30, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said. Police busted Hunt, 32, when the department was presented with several videos on his social media page, where the brute posted about his physical confrontations.
Hunt was recording himself talking about a "real issue" that happened on July 21st when he crossed paths with the unidentified woman holding a get-well balloon.
"Nah, don't wave to me," Hunt yelled at the defenseless woman, sending him into a fiery rage and punching his victim to the ground. The 5-foot-9, 220-pound brute hovered over the motionless woman and screamed racial slurs at her as she lay on the pavement.
He immediately began spamming out excuses and complaints of "you're hurting me" (or the like) so they brought him to a medical center.
"You still talking? You still talking?" Hunt yelled. "July 21st. Say Elijah. Elijah my son, Motherf--ker you playing." Hunt ripped the broken frames from the woman's sunglasses, kicked the balloon from the woman's hand and ran off. In a separate, undated video, Hunt -- as he was ranting about McDonald's -- charged at another woman as she was walking on the sidewalk before chasing her around a car. "You wanna run bitch, you wanna run motherf--ker, huh? I betcha run again motherf--ker," he yells in the video. On Thursday morning, officers responded to an "attempt to locate" call in the heart of Charlotte, where they were shown the disturbing videos posted by Hunt. Hunt was taken into custody on an arrest warrant at around 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
After his release from the center, he will be transported to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office and charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Hunt, a well-known vagrant in the city, has been arrested at least nine times over the last 34 months in Mecklenburg County, according to jail records viewed by The Post. Those cases include simple assault, assault on a female, assault with a deadly weapon, trespassing, domestic violence protective order violation and probation violation. Between December 2012 and June 2019, he was arrested three times for assault on a female, three times for domestic violence protective order violation, and once for discharging a firearm in the city and injury to personal property, according to WCNC.
All those cases had been dismissed.

🚨#BREAKING: I can confirm that the man arrested this week for violent street attacks on a woman in Charlotte was FREE BECAUSE OF A PLEA DEAL IN MARCH. Diquan Shafar Hunt was arrested in December 2025 for Assault with a Deadly Weapon and three other charges. On March 18, 2026, he took a plea from Judge Joseph Setzer Jr. Guilty to two charges. Two dismissed. Sentence: just 89 days in prison He walked out that same day. Just 4 months later, he begins filming himself beating women on the streets of Charlotte NC. Diquan had been arrested 14 previous times including for multiple assault on women charges, domestic violence charges, breaking and entering, and resisting arrest.

... man charged with 6th indecent exposure case
... sentenced to probation on four previous indecent exposure cases after pleading guilty last year is back in court again on similar offenses.
“The victim stated that while working in the garden section of the (Home Depot) store, she noticed the defendant because although he would not approach her directly, he appeared to be lingering near her as she moved about the garden section,” according to the affidavit. “While the defendant was standing in the plant food section, she made eye contact with the defendant and immediately observed that he had his penis exposed in his hand. She also observed that the defendant was actively masturbating and subsequently ejaculated in his hand as well as on a bag of plant food. At that point, she quickly walked away to locate a supervisor.”
He's young. That, at the minimum, can go on for years.
Not a lot of heavy duty jailing going on since C19.

You are telling a portion of the population all the horrible things that have been done to 'them' (really just people of the same skin color- which is insulting as fuck) and letting them act on the shit that you stirred up and then when they 'act out' you excuse and mostly legitimize it.
So, you get more of what you subsidize, except in this case they are openly encouraging it. You are creating the monsters that retarded racists back in the day only IMAGINED existed.

The charges for such should be called attempted murder and punished accordingly.
And every state should adopt three strikes mandatory sentencing for violent criminals including behavior as juveniles. And install formal sentencing guidelines that punish judges for sentencing outside those prescribed legislative limits on judicial autonomy.

The insatiable demands for cheap labor always lead to destruction of society. And it is always the upper class and wealthy that want cheap labor.
My hope is that robots advance fast enough that a surly class of assholes brought in because they are cheap are no longer desirable but then again, the ruling class will prefer to simply get rid of the middle class instead of mechanizing.

Everyone in the story is EXACTLY as you picture them.
The son of the judge set to preside over one of the men accused in the horrific gang rape of Louisiana State University student Madison Brooks is a convicted serial rapist, and the judge herself once represented him in court, the New York Post reported.
The trial for Desmond Carter, 21, one of the three men charged with raping Brooks inside a vehicle before her death, is scheduled to begin August 17 before Judge Gail Horne Ray of the 19th Judicial District Court, according to WBRZ.

Predators go for easy prey and that includes old frail men or kids/young men that that are disabled as well. Just not as publicized.
Go armed and if in a blue area, you best have a legal plan for after a shooting as to a defense lawyer, self defense insurance, and the wherewithal to move later if necessary.
There are two kinds of criminal law attorneys, those that will get you the best plea deal, and those that will fight their damndest to keep you outta jail. You want the second type and even there--you want one that defends cops for example when they shoot a protected critter because a) those are used to public pressure and the vile press, b) they have a network of expensive expert witnesses to buttress your case at trial.

The winner from SC was recently cancelled because she supposedly made "racist" social media posts under an alias years ago.
Supposedly, she said "nigga" a few times, although the posts themselves aren't shown, so it's unclear what the context is.
Oh, and although her name is the very white-sounding "Brittany Boltinhouse," she is actually Honduran and Mexican, and looks it.
So if she, as a latina girl, was saying on social media "you go, my nigga" or "sista be a bad-ass nigga" then she would only be doing what literally every other latina of her age does. Very odd that I can't find the actual social media posts anywhere.
This looks like a hit by supporters of the runner-up (a black girl) to get the title, which she did.

Not if you’re black. And that is the problem. There is no justification for jailing someone on the basis of skin color, but these rulings say yes, there is. Black man can say it all day long, no problem. White woman can’t even quote the word back at him, or she’s liable to go to jail.

The pendulum swung from inappropriately harsh penalties on black people, to inappropriately lenient penalties on them.
If a prosecutor has charged a domestic-related offense and then later dismisses it, probably 99% of the time it’s because the victim isn’t cooperating and they have no choice *but* to dismiss it, as the victim’s testimony would be necessary for trial.
Same reason you also see what people think are “lenient” deals for very serious allegations. The prosecutor almost certainly made the calculation that an outright loss at trial is likely for whatever possible reason, and therefore a “lenient” deal is preferable to literally nothing.
Sometimes a defendant who has so many priors is just walking around like everyone else because prior victims refused to play ball with the system and testify.
And there’s no way to hold someone because they’re a danger to the public, except as a psych hold, which is a very different standard. The justice system confines people for their crimes. If a crime can’t be proven they can’t be held.

State is actually drifting right just like Georgia is drifting left politically. The problem with judges is that the whole profession has moved to the left and judge are simply reflecting what law school is teaching.
That means that state legislatures are going to have to eliminate a lot of trial judge discretion for charges and sentencing. That is where the three strikes law in California came about as the left coast was an early warning sign that leftist lawyers on the bench or as district attorneys are destroying the cities and suburbs by coddling violent and insane criminals.

Japan had its cheap labor force which were ethnic Koreans for a long time, when they were integrated more or less into non pariah status, the search for people to do shitty jobs meant bringing in Muslims and Africans as low cost temporary labor. And now the Muslims are burning historic Shinto temples in the countryside like they burn historic churches in the West. Time to sent all Mo lovers back to Dar Islam.

It's not really 'street enforcers' per se. This guy is not screaming at these women about the wonders of abortion or open borders. Rather, it is... agents of chaos. It creates as certain atmosphere where people generally feel unsafe and suspicious of their neighbors (Are they a psycho? better not make eye contact and hurry past.) Because what does that result in? A need to feel safe and when you cannot trust your neighbor and you have disregarded the idea that you should take your own defense personally, that means the government. THEY will protect you. THEY will give you what you need (order.)
The thing is, for these women, the government is what is making them feel unsafe. This dude would have been shot for some other crime long before this. Same with the retard who killed the gal on the subway. The government/police protect criminals from summary justice at the hands of the people. They have just taken it way too fucking far.

they are afraid. they subconsciously recognize the thing they fear can't be controlled. So they focus on something that obeys the rules and won't likely retaliate with violence, successful conservative white men. Its safe to harass them. It gives them an outlet for their fear, a safe target to focus on, and satisfying feedback when it is echo'd by their peers and in the media.

Three-strikes laws were too successful at getting criminals off the streets, so of course they had to go.
What was most surprising about those laws was that criminals are such feral, unreformable, and un-fixable scumbags that they would light up the three strikes one after the other.
They would have two strikes already, knew the next was was "see ya," but would still do the crime. Incredible. These people are dangerous animals who must not be allowed anywhere near a civilized society.

ICE arrests surge at Philly airport, including those of a babysitter and a senior citizen
The Department of Homeland Security said President Trump is reversing policies that let undocumented immigrants "jet around our country."
In part, "A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said airport arrests are occurring because the Trump administration “reversed the horrendous Biden-era policy that allowed aliens in our country illegally to jet around our country.
“Under President Trump, DHS will no longer tolerate this. This administration is working diligently to ensure that aliens in our country illegally can no longer fly unless it is out of our country to self-deport.”
The department said “being in detention is a choice,” and the federal government is offering people who are here without permission a $2,600 payment and a free flight home.
Self-deportation can preserve the right to later come back to the U.S., absent the penalties that accompany a government deportation."

Do not forget most criminals justify their crimes to themselves and others. They don't "just" take. They take because they are owed.
Hence all the constant talk and threat and reminders of reparations.
The idea is create more thieves, more criminals, more angry people who tell themselves that their victims "deserve" to have their money, health, lives, taken away.

I've mentioned this before, but my dad was a corrections officer (double-dipping along with his Navy pension) out at Corcoran in the SHU where Charlie Manson was locked up. Spent years having to deal with Charlie every work day.
Among other things (he HATED to be called "Chuck", so the COs would take advantage of that when he'd misbehave), Pop told me that Charlie ALWAYS had visitors on visiting day. Lawyers and writers for legit visits, the rest of the visits were women who gamed the system to meet Charlie and swoon over the bastard.

Gained manufacturing jobs +5,000 obviously good, (would hope for more gains, but all of the 5000 gained were Americans).

THE MORNING RANT: PepsiCo (Frito Lay) Snack Sales Decline as SNAP Restrictions Kick In
such that the benefits cannot be used to purchase junk food and sodas. As SNAP restrictions have rolled out, it has been a sucker-punch to the manufacturers of low-nutrition products.
PepsiCo has been hit especially hard, as its revenue is more reliant on snack products than is the case with Coca-Cola, which is weighted more toward beverage sales.
“PepsiCo’s Turnaround Stutters as Americans Rethink Snacking” [Reuters – 7/14/2026]
Sales in the Frito-Lay and Pepsi soda maker's North American food business slipped 2%, while volume was flat in the second quarter ended June 13, even after earlier price cuts of up to 15% on some of its biggest products including Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos and Tostitos. For PepsiCo, whose food brands including Ruffles and PopCorners generate about 58% of its annual revenue, the shift threatens one of the key engines that has driven growth for decades.Articles such as this Reuters piece linked above talk about diet drugs and shifts in consumer food choices as being primary reasons for the decline in snack food sales, but it doesn’t mention that the goal of making SNAP benefits be spent on healthier food is having an impact. Successfully weaning welfare recipients off of taxpayer-subsidized junk food is not a success story to Reuters and the left. But that is what’s happening. “SNAP restrictions could change what shoppers buy — and food giants are watching” [CNBC – 6/20/2026]
SNAP purchase restrictions are now approved in 23 states, affecting about one-third of recipients and potentially reducing food and beverage sales by up to $830 million this year.That misleading statement from CNBC makes it sound like SNAP spending is being reduced by $830 million. That is not the case. There is a potential $830 million that won’t be flowing to PepsiCo and Coca Cola.
Companies including Hershey, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and Kraft Heinz are closely monitoring shopper behavior as limits on soda and candy purchases expand.PepsiCo has already had to respond once to the SNAP changes by cutting prices. When low-income consumers were forced to start using their own money to buy potato chips, rather than taxpayer money, many stopped buying premium-priced Frito-Lay products. I’ll take this opportunity to restate what I previously wrote about the market distortion of taxpayer-subsidized junk food, from a piece from last February titled, “Following SNAP Restrictions on Junk Food, Pepsico Cuts Prices Due to Softening Consumer Demand.”
Some basic economic truths are playing out in the junk food market – the market where Pepsico engages in commerce. Much of its revenue has been in the form of redistributed taxpayer money, which passes through government to the recipients of what was once called “food stamps.” The recipients of SNAP benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) have historically spent considerable amounts of their federal food assistance on Doritos, Mountain Dew, and other low-nutrition foods sold by Pepsico. It didn’t take long for Pepsico to feel the pinch. By early February, the company was finding itself needing to cut prices in response to slowing sales. But a few months earlier when SNAP recipients were still spending government money, Pepsico was able to steadily increase prices. Now that those same consumers are forced to buy Fritos and Cheetos using their own money, they have suddenly become price conscious.-------------------------------------- When corporations and their executives made a hard-left political turn in the early 21st century it puzzled me, because the Democrats they allied with were not the party of free enterprise. But I’ve since come to realize that much of corporate America now rejects free enterprise too, and instead wants government to act on its behalf in redistributing money from taxpayers to corporations. Be it SNAP benefits for junk food or EV credits for auto manufacturers, the Trump administration is putting an end to the corporatist business model and its parasitic attachment to taxpayer wallets. With “affordability” such a visible political issue, and with the Pepsico case-study showing how consumer prices can be reduced, Republicans need to aggressively focus on cutting the government subsidies that result in higher consumer prices.
A subject I feel is important to keep covering, despite the puzzling disinterest of the political and media class, is the extraordinary industrial growth that is occurring in the United States. There is effectively a massive “stimulus package” of spending going on, and best of all, it is being privately funded. For once, taxpayers are benefiting from this vast “shovel-ready” stimulus, unlike recent government stimulus spending endeavors, in which money was simply redistributed from taxpayers to favored recipients.This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

I still think the gov't should go with some kind of nutrient loaf or snacker that contains all the necessary vitamins, protein and fiber people need to live instead of SNAP or food stamp or whatever.
Cheaper and if people want better chow they'd go to work.
Buuuuut, that'll never happen, so restrict what can be bought, make sure grifters can't get cards and make them non-sellable. Maybe by using a bar code which can't work unless the proper ID or fingerprint reader gives the okay.

No question corn chips, cookies, potato chips, pricessed frozen snack food meals and the rest of it are marked up very high. A large bag of Doritos is $6 to $8 bucks, and not all that large any longer. I bet there’s probably forty cents worth of product in a ten cent bag, maybe a dollar in transport and handling?
You’ll hear experts decry the rise in metabolic syndrome, obesity, and type II diabetes and blame it on “cheap carbs” and junk foods. This is a bit of a myth, the carbohydrate laden snack foods are the most expensive stuff you can buy.

While analyzing the stock market is not something I would attempt to do, it is setting new records, and it bemuses me that the coverage of the current bull market seems to completely ignore the impact of the massive industrial buildout that is underway in this country.
We are experiencing what will likely be looked back on as the greatest industrial expansion since World War II. It far exceeds what any government-funded stimulus package could do. Prosperous economic times lie ahead with the USA becoming an industrial powerhouse again.
I have a lot of problems with Peter Zeihan's predictions, many of which have turned out to be completely wrong, but on this one he's been ahead of the curve. He predicted a huge rebirth of American manufacturing years ago.

USDA “food stamps” were rife with fraud. Get maybe 20 cents cash or whatever to the dollar. Everyone had all the rice and beans and peanut butter they needed. Need money for beer and ciggies and the rest of it.
And everyone was admonished that it was “unfair” to have the poor folk singled out like that. Just give them a card loaded with credits.
I watched someone roll up in one of those humongous shopping carts FULL of meat, beef, steaks, chops, chicken, everything. Looked like more animal protein than I’d bought in the last ten years. Must have cost a fortune. Not for her.
“Would you like some help getting that out to your car?” the checker helpfully inquired. I think the cow declined, because her Escalade was parked right at the door, in the Handicapped spot, you see.

Megacorps with massive production facilities killed off all the local potato chip shops that used to be a neighborhood feature. I think we had three just on our side of the river, until the late 60's. They were loveable but low-margin. If Pepsi et al cut back, there may be an opening for small 'gourmet' snack foods again.
We get pretty haughty around here defining what "junk food" is for others. Obviously, if somebody we don't approve of is eating it, it's poison. Remember that when you are in the cross hairs next time, and I do mean bacon.

Roughly about 2008-9, a majority of college salary expenditures went to staff rather than teaching faculty and since then, it has widened. Basically the coolie adjunct labor force of PhDs teaching for cheap means shrinkage in the number of tenured faculty and those expensive faculty are increasingly not teaching but rather trying to get research grants so admin can get its fat rakeoff.
And the students get the shaft at many colleges because of that but willingly accept that as they only want a credential in many cases.
Administrators pretend education is going on, professors including adjuncts pretend they are teaching, and students in turn pretend to learn and use AI/cut and paste, and other means to dispose of assignments quickly so socializing can be done.

I recall one of the DC snipers complaining about prison food that was a food loaf:
"Sniper suspect and vegetarian John Lee Malvo says he is getting sick from eating the jail's meatless loaf, which is usually served to inmates for disciplinary reasons.
For the past two weeks, the Fairfax County jail has been serving the 17-year-old Malvo 'the loaf,' a hodgepodge of flour, raisins, carrots, potatoes and other ingredients baked into brown cakes.
Loaves have become an increasingly popular form of discipline in jails and prisons across the country, and have prompted some lawsuits. In Pennsylvania prisons, a breakfast loaf contains prunes, eggs, toast, hash browns, bacon and orange juice. Texas calls its version food loaf, a breadlike substance made up of the previous day's leftovers."

Now, the produce at the farmers market is nearly double the price compared to the grocery store. I wonder, could this be due to the fact that SNAP benefits are DOUBLED at the farmers market?
I appreciate the intention behind incentivizing the purchase of fresh produce with SNAP, but the real-world result is prices raised for everyone except SNAP users.

Economics realized that by the sixties with behavioral sciences being imported into the field. And the old rational man thesis of classic economics has been overstated to the point of being a strawman. It is simply some subsidies can be helpful instead of harmful because ceteras paribus never is reality.
That is the point that classic libertarianism fails to understand. Not all tariffs are bad, not all subsidies are bad per se, it depends on how they are used.
An economist would simply recognize these are all incentives and some work better than others at specific successful policy outcomes.

Not a lot less money, but a little bit. And stuff's lingering on the shelves longer too. I see a lot more yellow tags (which means it a reduced price and very near or at it's "sell by" date.)

Subsidizing people's groceries, housing, and utility bills is bad business. All three commodities are frequently replenished; you don't have the unpredictable spikes you do with demand for medical care and l/t care and you do not have the sort of information deficits you do with regard to pondering medical care or educational choices. All three are also in their consumption sensitive to considerations of amenity. In regard to groceries in particular, the ratio of grocery expenditures to personal income has declined from 16% in 1965 to 7.4% today while mean body mass index continues to climb. Concern about malnutrition was retro in 1965 and an indicator of the degree to which LBJ was influenced by the conditions prevailing when he was a New Deal official. It is bizarre in our own time, when, with very few exceptions, people suffering from malnutrition are vagrants and drug addicts.

At some point all of the other benefits SNAP enables needs to be evaluated.
For example, SNAP recipients are given free scooter rental in major cities, as well as reduced entry to institutions such as museums and botanic gardens.
It's become an all-purpose ID for getting all kinds of other free or greatly reduced cost stuff. This is how you get two Americas, one paying full price, the other getting a completely different fare/cost structure via a SNAP card.

"Farmer's Market"
More and more it's someone who's been to the produce wholesaler and bought a bunch of stuff to resell (at a profit) which implies a higher price than normal. Claiming it's all from "their farm" or it's "organic."
Some don't even remove the wholesaler's stickers they put on certain produce. And you can see the crates or boxes laying around with the store's logo on them.
We've called out a couple people who do this at the local "farmer's market" and they inevitably leave.

For the past two weeks, the Fairfax County jail has been serving the 17-year-old Malvo 'the loaf,' a hodgepodge of flour, raisins, carrots, potatoes and other ingredients baked into brown cakes.
Malvo was the DC sniper's accomplice. Note that the article is from 2002. I guess we should check in on him and see if he's dead from "the loaf" yet. If not, his ration needs to be doubled. Or halved. One of those.

As for housing, the thing to do is scour the regulator codes for measures which unduly inhibit the production of housing types best suited for the impecunious - emergency shelters, flop houses, SRO hotels, halfway houses, group homes, boarding houses, and apartments with shared kitchens and / or shared baths. You need the stock of available housing to have more bite sized portions. Also, you might remove low priority items in building codes &c in regard to residences in the most impecunious areas of town. Also, tax preferences in poor areas of town would be desirable, with some census block groups facing a 0% rate on assessed valuation and others a rate one half the standard rate. If you lower the tax burden in poor neighborhoods, you reduce incentives to abandon property. Another thing you can do is allow all landlords plenary discretion over to whom they rent and provide for rapid execution of eviction orders.

And they will end up losing at Scotus because one of Robert's favorite moves is that the appellant lacks standing. And in this case, he would be correct. This is essentially a taxpayer lawsuitm which is barred by Frothingham v. Mellon (1923). They cannot show direct economic or Bill of Rights violations but rather only esthetics.
Congress has grounds to bar it and sue if the President does not comply but they have not done so. Individuals don't. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife (1992) as individuals cannot show concrete, particularized, and imminent individual injury from the President renovating the White House. Disagreement about esthetics doesn't meet that high standard for standing.

Now, the produce at the farmers market is nearly double the price compared to the grocery store. I wonder, could this be due to the fact that SNAP benefits are DOUBLED at the farmers market?
________
I think most iof these "farmers markets" are scams. It's just the same food bought from major wholesalers as every other grocer has. It's a marketing scam to charge higher prices for the same shit.
Ditto the "organic" scam.
Now, there are some markets where they do sell truly farm-fresh products. But those are the exception rather than the rule.

Note: Benefits cannot be used for alcohol, tobacco, hot prepared foods, or non-food items like pet food or household supplies.
Yeah, there's a lot of fraud, too, but the Food and Nutrition Administration encourages reporting. Some group always finds a way around specific rules.
Locally, there are some non-profit businesses that have set up exchanges of hot foods for those purchased by SNAP recipients and, reportedly, requiring heating or cooking.

That was supposedly August 3rd. If McConnell is announced dead, then my guess is Ky governor Beshear will appoint a Dem regardless of the state law leaving the seat empty until a new Congress in Jan 2027.

On the day SNAP/EBT benefits are credited, some buy large quantities of pop/soda, 30–40 cases at stores that accept EBT.
The cases are then resold, at a huge discount. This converts the non-cash benefits into usable cash for cigs, booze, weed and meth.

Yes, the administration has been very successful to the point that lawfare leftist judges and the vile ngos financing the lawfare are complaining about Scotus setting aside lower court injunctions and prohibitions not based on law. So called shadow docket. Basically Scotus in many cases is simply setting aside the temporary injunctions and requiring district courts to go through the lengthy and time consuming litigation with a track record and both sides represented in a trial. And like in this case, it is readily apparent that the district court is ignoring Scotus rulings on standing and applying a group of litigants complaining about a) the destruction of the historical East Wing (that is now moot as it is gone), and b) we don't like the design and an advisory group says that OrangeMan Bad's ballroom is an atrocity. But, in standing, individuals and even groups have to show direct injury themselves and aesthetics is not one that the courts recognize.
Standing bars taxpayers from filing lawsuits about everything under the sun that they don't like about government operations as sore losers.

I've driven by a few times this week and boxes of oranges, cabbages, celery remain on the shelves in the intense heat. This is nothing new or extraordinary.
They'll be there until they're removed from rotting, and then replaced with the next new boxes of fresh fruits and vegetables.
The swarms at the food pantries go for proteins, milk and bread, rice, stuffing mixes, baby food, diapers. (Some will be exchanged or sold on black markets.)

Right now Democrats are simply calling them extreme.
Check back a little later when it's "they might be extreme but they have a message and are getting traction, we would be crazy to ignore them"
Then "what might seem extreme to us is not extreme to people who have grown up very unhappy in capitalism. They have only seen inequality and they want better things for all."
Then - "you know, at one time, the dominant parties thought Civil Rights was extreme. Maybe it's just a matter of perspective."

And the water usage depends on whether it's a closed or open system. Bigger issue is the electrical grid. Does it need upgrading? By how much? Who's paying for all that?
And, in a couple years, it'll be obsolete. What then?

Most of the competition is because all the big investors are trying to create frontier models because 2nd, 3rd, 4th, place is not good enough if you believe network effects that there can only be one.
So Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and to some extent Grok are all competing to be the bestest frontier model and that requires training from scratch each time to create a newer version of a working model while the older models generate the profits.
Frontier models are what demand exponentially faster and larger new datacenters so they can compete with others. The surge will end with the investor class/market crowns one as champ and the other models have a collapse in market value.

It all depends on the data center expansion, I think. We've seen bubbles in PA where gas is prominent.
AI Overview - While diesel offers instant load response for emergencies, natural gas and hybrid battery systems are increasingly adopted to handle heavy continuous power needs and lower emissions.
Industry Trends and Alternatives
AI Demands: High-density AI workloads are driving massive power requirements, prompting some massive campuses to pair fast-response gas turbines or generators with battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Regulatory Scrutiny: Environmental regulators face growing pressure regarding fast-tracked emissions permits for large fleets of gas and diesel generators clustered near communities.

I think the datacenter issue will end up fixing the grid issue as government barriers tumble when the big money stampedes toward something. We have movement finally towards nuclear which should have already been de facto how we get grid power but stymied since 3 Mile Island safetyism.
Often these AI datacenters are coming with their own generating power due to their sensitivity to powerline sags etc. They have to have dependable power that the grid cannot offer. After the competitors are winnowed down, we will still have the infrastructure of power and computing facilities left. Same thing happened with fiber optics overinvestment. Dark optic cables for a long while which are now being lit up due to demand.
Only government 'investment' usually burns resources leaving nothing after the crash.

But it isn't Congress that is the litigant. Congress probably has standing, rando individuals upset do not. Google Frothingham v. Mellon or Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife for what standing is. The only exception was one for Bill of Rights violations where one person can sue (like violations of the Establishment clause) without demonstrating the rigorous standing limits on taxpayer lawsuits.

Mid-Morning Art Thread
Elling William Gollings Who becomes famous and who toils in obscurity -- and why -- is the question that most artists must ask themselves. I had never heard of William Gollings until I had the opportunity to visit a lovely museum in Big Horn Wyoming (near Sheridan) called The Brinton Museum. And by "lovely," I don't mean just the collection. It is architecturally beautiful, and the setting is difficult to beat, with the Big Horn Mountains in the near distance. There are several Western artists who are far more famous: Russell and Remington and Bierstadt come to mind, but even relatively obscure artists such as Gollings have gems scattered in their work that are rarely seen, and wonderful when discovered!

This is absolutely shocking.
Jesse Butler - The Oklahoma teen who violently r*ped and strangled a high school girl so badly she needed neck surgery and was seconds from dying - just had his entire case dismissed.
He was looking at 78 years.
He pleaded to the charges.
He completed a “youthful offender” rehab plan… and walked free with zero prison time.
His dad is a former Oklahoma State football director.
The new DA said the defense claimed the *perpetrator* suffered more than the victims and called it an “affront.” He’s referring the case to federal prosecutors.

So what am I doing here Lord, what am I doing here
There's got to be something better up there

And why'd you have to make it so hard down here

With mass deportations, top line numbers are going to be funky.
-23,000 jobs. Sounds awful.
But, labor participation rate actually improved.
Why? Because TPS ended for 230,000 people. So, deportations decreased the population of the country by a rather large amount in one month.
What would the "normal" number of newly created jobs be for a nation that is losing population? Should it be 150,000 new jobs?

X is useful if you curate your timeline to only reliable sources, the likes and comments, generally not on any controversial topic.
Comments are bot driven garbage and I am including human bots from abroad in troll mills. Likes are simply social virtue signalling.
And whatever tweaking of the algorithm, the fake bot community will adjust to try to sway public opinion in their favor.
Hard as it might seem, simply reject most of what is online other than commenters of proven veracity as fake and gay whether it appeals to you or not.

Sharps were kings of long distance shots but Remingtons were the bread and butter and that is why Sharps went bankrupt and Remington stayed in business plus Remington did the razor and razorblade solution making bank from ammunition for its firearms. Winchester though was probably the most sold for long arms with its 1873 lever action and derivative models for it. Colt with its Single Action Army and later the Colt Lightning double action were the most popular handguns. Remington and Sharps were bit players compared to Winchester and Colt.

What matters for voting is local perceptions of the economy.
If you live in a town with one industry, and that industry gets decimated while the rest of the country is thriving, you think the economy in general is terrible. (This explains why DC's perception is usually at odds with the rest of the nation, especially right now.)
The GDP numbers are things that get used to try to feed overall narratives and prompting for soft-partisans to either engage or disengage, depending on who is doing the telling.
Still, we talk about the numbers, so might as well try and make sense of them.

1890's to 1930's, it was common for people to have handguns--pocket pistols, bicycle guns, and so forth. Historically, crime was not as horrible due to the widespread application of the death penalty removing the worst of scoundrels but it was unsettled times due in part, to immigration and industrialization, so people wanted to be safe.
You also see discrete pistols being marketed to women for carry at the turn of the century.

What matters for voting is local perceptions of the economy.
If you live in a town with one industry, and that industry gets decimated while the rest of the country is thriving, you think the economy in general is terrible. (This explains why DC's perception is usually at odds with the rest of the nation, especially right now.)
The GDP numbers are things that get used to try to feed overall narratives and prompting for soft-partisans to either engage or disengage, depending on who is doing the telling.
Still, we talk about the numbers, so might as well try and make sense of them.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison
I did a paper once upon a time using REIS local economic data and a governor's reelection bid--turns out that state economic figures did not matter, national did but the strongest effect was local economy. Regular folks perceive their economy by looking out the window, elites often being okay at home, focus more on the national figures (probably due to investments, markets, etc. exposure). Few care about overall state figures.
Problem with using it for predictions is local figures are slower than national to be released.

Elling William Gollings
Have never heard of him, but that's not unusual. What a nice body of work!! I would hang today's art selection.
Montana Trail Galleries: William Gollings [1878-1932]
Bill Gollings (Elling William) did paintings known for their accurate accountings of the Old West. Gollings drew upon his own personal experiences as a cowboy, and was also known to have studied and admired the drawings of Frederic Remington, which often appeared in 'Harper's Weekly' magazine.
Bill Gollings was born in 1878 in Pierce City, Idaho. As a boy, he spent much of his time was in New York, Idaho and Michigan. When he was twelve, he and his family moved to Chicago. At age nineteen, Gollings traveled to small mining and cattle towns in South Dakota and Nebraska where he spent most of his time as a sheepherder and cowboy. Despite his ranching activities, he had always possessed an interest in art.
His first exposure to paints was at about age twenty-five when he began working with a set of mail-order paints. After selling several paintings, he was admitted to the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts on a scholarship. (More.)

Expensive and at times unavailable ammunition. Same for the 38-40 and 44-40. Even the mighty 45 Colt at times literally dries up. These are handloading cartridges if you want to shoot them and handloading is a pita because of the thin and elongated necks on these cartridges. Can crumple in the reloading process.
There is also the problem that the 32-20 came in two different loads--one hotter one for lever action rifles, the weaker one for revolvers.

Much of education's deterioration is that a) you have different careers for women that want to work outside of the home---used to be only being a nurse or a teacher were suitable employment for women so those attracted the best and brightest.
And then you now have the miserable colleges of education who rival only journalism/communications for their students having the lowest academic performance at universities. Incompetent teachers, no discipline due to fears of racial unrest and lawsuits, and a population that values education as a credential, not as a means of self improvement.

When we lived in Charleston, some kid who was attending the Citadel and lived in our neighborhood came tearing down the street and the tight curve outside our house.
Crashed the car into the ditch outside our house. I go to the window and see the doors open, a bunch of pot smoke, and about 6 college aged kids bolt.
The driver starts to go, but he sticks around.
It was his father's car. His father came to the scene about half an hour later when word got to him. Nice white BMW. He was pissed.
I think the kid got kicked out of The Citadel.

I was friendly with this dude when I was 20 and he turned out to be a super lib, even started an anti war blog etc and was like taking to Stephen Colbert before there was such a thing. At the time it wasn't a big deal to be friends with leftards but you slowly realized they didn't want to be friends with you - even if you weren't explicitly right. Just not being a leftard annoyed them a lot.
My point is one day he came to me with a link to a web 1.0 forum he'd been reading where everyone there wanted to be a vampire.
We joked about a lot of stuff so I thought it was a joke but the place was truly bugfuck insane. Won't even go into it, it's exactly what you think and probably worse. And I don't think he was kidding.

Looks like my area in 2020, but the black trucks that hassled the unpermitted, street blocking protestors were the ones the politicians and police were especially interested in.
In fact, the protestors were allowed to have a redo weeks later, and the black trucks and local residents closely watched (including drones) to see if one unpleasant, possibly "stress-inducing" word was directed towards the protestors.

Good question. When the police sell the truck, I'd imagine the lien gets satisfied either from auction proceeds or the kid, so I'd guess the kid had to pray it sold for more than the loan payoff value.

The Morning Report — 8/ 7 /26
Francesca Hong is running to be the next governor of Wisconsin, but she can’t decide if she wants to be the Grinch who stole Thanksgiving, too. Thanksgiving? We’re talking about Thanksgiving in August? In 2020, she tweeted that we should stick a carving knife in the national holiday of gratitude because it was “celebrating colonialism.”From that flaming pile of excrement we go south to Texas where you'd think, saner heads would for sure be prevailing. You'd think, until . . .
James Talarico Headlined Pride Event Alongside 11-Year-Old Child Drag Queen 'Kween Kee Kee': 'Absolute Cutest and Youngest of Our Drag Performers' The Pride Month event also featured a drag queen with the provocative name 'Sedonya Face'Of course, these are merely candidates for governor and senator. But would the party run them if they didn't think they had a shot at rallying their troops. And speaking of which, first up we have...
About a mile and a half from where Luigi Mangione (allegedly) murdered UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, and a schlep from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn where the (alleged) assassin is being held as he awaits state and federal trials, Luigi: The Musical finished its six-night New York City run at The Green Room 42 in the YOTEL New York Times Square.Springtime for Hitler was merely Mel Brooks being funny. At the time some thought even he went a bit too far with The Prodcuers but sadly it seems as if he was actually being prescient. Just as the late great Paddy Chayefsky was with Network And here we have another one who will bury, er that is BURN us.
An upcoming criminal trial may reshape public opinion about the main cause of the 2025 Palisades Fire in Southern California, redefining it as a consequence not of climate change but of class warfare.While all of the previous maniacs were all born and raised here, we still have Michiganistan and Islam to contend with...
The financial and ideological ties between El-Sayed and CAIR raise questions about his candidacy, given CAIR’s controversial history and alleged links to terrorist organizations. This could become a focal point in the Michigan Senate race as voters scrutinize the influence of such organizations on political candidates.Well, it's nice to believe as some do that Mike Rogers will beat this fiend. But please remember that beyond the base, Michigan's elections are run by Governor Wretched Whitler and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson who were both, especially the latter, instrumental in the thievery that stole the state from Trump and gave it to Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants Biden in 2020 in the middle of the night in Wayne County where election observers were ejected, the windows covered and 18-wheelers full of ballots hauled in. So, as we close out the week, let's try to end on a much happier note:
Ever since Donald Trump returned to the White House and especially since Trump’s Liberation Day tariff announcement, the economic press has reported that American manufacturing is struggling under President Trump’s tariffs. Even worse: stories have frequently claimed that manufacturing is struggling because of the tariffs. The Wall Street Journal declared manufacturing “in retreat.” The Associated Press said tariffs were “hurting American manufacturers instead of helping them.” Reuters reported that import duties had undercut manufacturing.And on top of that, we have this bit of orgasmatronia!
There’s just one problem: none of that is happening. If tariffs are hurting American manufacturing, someone forgot to tell the factories. The Labor Department reported Thursday that manufacturing output rose at a 4.6 percent annual rate in the second quarter. Hours worked increased 2.6 percent. Productivity, which measures output per hour, rose 1.9 percent.
President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Thursday that end birth tourism and expand the definition of who does not qualify for birthright citizenship. . . The first Executive Order non-exhaustively identifies certain categories of children of aliens who are not entitled to birthright citizenship consistent with historical exceptions to birthright citizenship recognized by the Supreme Court in Barbara. The second Executive Order delegates presidential authorities to the Secretary of State and Secretary of Homeland Security and directs them to halt the practice of birth tourism.Well, I'm sure the lawsuits will start flying and the usual crackpot nutters will threaten SCOTUS justices and their families but who knows? If Roe v. Wade could be nixed, perhaps there's hope that the 14th Amendment could actually be read and upheld as written and intended. My concern isn't necessarily with the Leftists it's mostly the RINOs who will stab us in the back. So we're in the mass grave or marching to it, but perhaps the first shovel-full of dirt has yet to be dropped on us? How's that for optimism?! And with that I bid you all

The only form of justice that I predict for that couple, is that they will need to reside in D.C. for several more years to make court appearances, and they won’t be able to retire full time to a luxurious resort town.

Tougher to kill this one, I think. The EO basically says that if you're in the US just long enough to give birth and then immediately take the child back to whatever country you're visiting from then you obviously aren't under the jurisdiction of the US so not a citizen.
The courts could shit on him again but at some point they make it plain to even the dimmest of bulbs that they're not trying to uphold the Constitution, they're trying to destroy the country.
Trump is the unmasker.

The Pilgrims land off-course after months at sea, hitting the Americas right as winter was starting. Many died, more would have if the natives didn't spare food.
They also went Communist before Communism - everyone would work, their produce would go into a central bank. That bank was to pay off the loan that paid for the journey to the new world. But everyone, man, woman, and child, also got one share of everything produced. Each according to their ability, each according to their need.
The journal of the leader showed this was a crap idea even then. It did not work, and it was turning godly people (they left Europe because of religion!) into hating their neighbors. So they scrapped the whole commune deal. Somewhat quickly, because these weren't over-educated retards like from today's "higher" learning. Every family was given a plot of land. They could sell what they grew and made.
First winter - pity food from the natives. Next winter - abundance because you worked to eat. Apparently, they paid off that loan pretty quickly too afterwards.

It was normal to sue over the punch list, then sue partners, and then sue anyone else involved. Trump is at that stage with Iran. Just pay no attention while he does the statecraft equivalent of suing them, as he finishes off whatever the hell he is doing over there. As long as none of our guys have to land on the beach I guess I'm ok with target practice.

We’re in a weird spot right now.

From Iran is disastrous politically to a belief that Iran is slowly crumbling; from a feeling Dems will sweep the midterms to optimism the GOP keeps both chambers. I can’t make up my mind, which is unusual… strange

The counter to this story is that someone yesterday asked Trump about this on camera, and. Trump replied “no, I think it’s way too early for anyone to start worrying about 2028.”
Seems to be a window on how many stories are just made up these days. And I think Trump is exactly right here - it’s way too early to be worrying about that. At the very least get through the ‘26 elections first!

Boomers are reluctant to relinquish control — from political offices to corner offices — to the detriment of their juniors. In a society where the elderly hold so much power, should younger generations revolt?

That should also extend to Hollywood shows where anyone under 18 is portrayed as gay or trans. Or submitted to that crap. There was a kids show 'Popularity Papers' where one of the main characters had two gay Dads - one a drag queen.
They actually had a kid dress in drag for a PRIDE WEEK thing. It was pretty disgusting.
And then the was Fay and Fluffy which was aimed at 6 year olds.
Fortunately, most of Canada's kids networks went off the air.

"put an end" (go to war) over anything it's gibberish. In today's world it's just a way to obfuscate their real intentions by making something sound so dire that extreme measures need to be taken.
It's an excuse to do things the public probably wouldn't approve of.

Soon the picture of Democrats - sneaky establishment power stepping on the common man, and the feminine gay and trans identity bud light driven horseshit party that Trump worked so hard to fight and expose - will be a memory.
The new energetic party has a message - they are the party of the working man again. And strong. It's about branding, not reality. They're starting extreme to get attention and then the Party can slowly modulate the message, depending on how things are received. Trump did this too by opening with crazy extreme ideas (a muslim ban, punishment for abortions) and then paring back.
Calling him scary did not work and Democrats know why. And he lurched the country Right despite having just his voice - and so with practically 100% media control, they're giving it a shot. And they get to do it the Democrat Way. At arm's length in case it doesn't quite work out. But heavily coordinated.

They're expensive in some places, probably LA and the like. Places where lots of people feel the need to share on social media. AFAIK, no one has correlated the places where burritos are expensive to places where the minimum wage has been jacked way up.

What happened to the old school Democrat party is not complicated at all - it was based on nothing but thievery and racial grievances, but had managed to gain control of a lot of electoral systems. It had nothing left at all to offer younger voters who it was not serving in any way - but the things it controlled made it a ripe candidate for a takeover.
And that, obviously, is what is happening. I believe a big story in the future will be the revelation that the DSA is almost completely funded and led by the CCP, through intermediaries like Neville Singh. There’s a LOT of dark money behind them.

Parenthetical: Gas prices really aren’t up all that much…. These nuts are very creative in finding ways to bash Israel

And they must take the time to explain how the previous round of free stuff is what got us into this expensive mess in the first place.

Here's what I think is most likely but subject to change. R's keep both houses (undeservedly because they're assholes who hate us) but the Democrat "strength" and "energy" is shown by a number of unexpected victories from their loudest contingent.
The story ends up being "yes these people are extreme but the average person is worried and scared about the future and the Democrat Party must start listening to them to win and to make a difference".
This paves the way for (possibly) a bridge candidate who can marry the old establishment'a moderation and money and sense (ha ha) with the open communism, "working person values" and "finger on the pulse" of the new breed.
It *could* be someone totally associated with DSA but I'm not certain of that at all.

Although i certainly don’t like the idea, i have to sympathize with the city councilman. Given that all levels of government are subject to the 1st Amendment, on what legal grounds could they vote to deny?
I think they voted against volunteering for a large and expensive lawsuit they were guaranteed to lose. From a local report on the matter: “The site was already zoned for a place of worship and the plans did not ask for any exemptions from city rules. City staff also noted that it was fully compliant with established city requirements.”

Posted by: LinusVanPelt at August 07, 2026 08:53 AM (ALKK0)
Where I used to routinely see (and narrate) things 5 or 10 years in advance, sometimes these days it's only six months. Or less. And very often I actually undershoot what is going on and they surprise me. But still in the direction I could see.
For example 18 months ago I was telling everyone to forget about trannies (they were the hot flavor and it's practically all we were talking about) and get ready to watch Democrats kiss up to and usher in their new friends, radical Islam. I didn't say trannies were going away, just that they would fall as the permanent going concern.
I didn't save the comments - and saying it now, it probably doesn't seem like I was seeing or saying much, but I was. And always sounding about as crazy as I do now.
It had been bubbling under the surface and I could see it ready to burst through. Our reality is frighteningly planned. Trump was not part of those plans. Which means God can and does step in any time no matter what I think I "see".

Why does everything feel fake?
We have a Congress that won't pass something 83% people want.
We have courts that release criminals faster than police can arrest them.
We have schools that graduate kids who can’t read.
And its a fair question but also one we already know and right leaning people have to ram this idea into their heads. It is all about incentives.
Many current congresscriters will lose their seats if only citizens vote. Others would get re-elected but lose out on graft as congress took a significantly more right leaning budgetary approach. And those that voted for it would not get hand out from the oligarchs.
And you see this up and down our government and culture, the incentives are bad. Yes the people are bad too but a well designed society incentivizes bad people to do good things.
So want to start fixing things? Fix the incentives

They could have denied the mosque on zoning requirements, easement offsets, whatever bullshit reason they make up. It's done frequently enough with other things a local government doesn't want.”
No - against a group with financial backing, you’re not only going to lose in court, you’re going to end up paying a multimillion dollar settlement to them. It’s explicitly stated that the zoning had long approved of such a use for that site.
The legal issue is the same as if in a dominantly Baptist town, can the locals ban the construction of a Mormon church? Or s Jewish synagogue? It’s easy to say “well they’re different “, but under the law, they’re not.

Ja, bullshit. Maybe a few voters do that, but mostly it's whether there's a "D" or an "R" after the candidates' names, and you know it. Step One is to penetrate the media ramparts built up around these candidates so that the story of CAIR could actually be heard. Maybe then there might be some scrutiny. But until that time, I stand by my original assessment: Ja, bullshit.

Appeals lawyers making bank again.
- Meanwhile OpenAI has fired back at Apple saying that if they were able to steal all of Apple's trade secrets then they weren't all that secret, were they? (Tech Crunch)
I'm not sure that is how it works, Sam.
Tech News
- AirLLM is a new Python library that streams data on demand from SSD to VRAM for AI tasks, allowing you to run a 2.8 trillion parameter model like Kimi K3 in just 4GB of memory, at a speedy 292 seconds per token. (GitHub)
So only about 10,000 times slower than what is considered acceptable performance.
- China has invented a new self-repairing dress made of living fungus. (Dezeen)

- Measuring the Pareto Frontier of AI models. (DeepSWE)
A Pareto Frontier is a line drawn on a chart through a set of solutions that are each the best at a different task, but there is no single winner.
An interesting point is that GPT 5.6 Luna - which I have never tried - is nearly as good as Claude Fable but much, much cheaper, with the total for the test suite coming to $0.61 vs. Fable's $21.63.
It's even more jarring when compared to Anthropic's supposedly cheapest model, Sonnet, which is weaker than Luna and cost $26.40 to run the suite.
- TSMC is sitting on a billion dollars worth of Apple A20 CPUs waiting for DRAM chips to pair them with. (WCCFTech)
Might want to take a seat. You could be here a while.
- Lenovo laptops in China have been spotted shipping with memory from TWSC (no relation). (Notebook Check)
TWSC is not in the Big Three. It's not even in the Big Five, counting CXMT and Nanya. I'm not sure where it ranks.
- Elon Musk's Terafab is looking to hire a memory process engineer. (WCCFTech)
They'd be silly if they weren't.

A tool used to rephrase plagiarised text changed "final solution" to "mass killing of an ethnic group" in a chemistry paper. Now retracted thanks to a PubPeer user who spotted this.
To judge protein-inferred oxidative damage, a soil test was administered. A phosphate safeguard answer was used to regulate the pH to 7.8, influencing the total response book to 30 mL. The backlash combination was able by joining 1.75 mL of Triton, 1.5 mL of methionine, and 1 mL of NBT.
Subsequently, 1 mL of the mass killing of an ethnic group was opposed to 20 mL of the skin sample and unprotected to light for 7 min.

The story of the trial is intercut with flashbacks of Derek's life growing up, his marriage to a good girl, his fruitless attempts to go straight, and her suicide when he goes back to crime. Affecting stuff, if loaded with the 1949 version of "Isn't society really to blame for this?" Bogart turns in his usual fine performance, and Derek is darned good too.

Every gun, mine, and guard tower on the Berlin Wall was pointed at East Germans.
In 1957, the communist regime in East Germany made unauthorized emigration treason after an estimated 2.5 million people voted with their feet, fleeing the communist East towards the West.
So in 1961, the authorities closed the border, called the wall “the Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart”, and gave border guards shoot to kill orders.
People only ever risked their lives escaping in one direction.

These Banquet/Bremer ones can be done up in the oven, but I microwave them. Five minutes in the MW and then three more sitting in there according to the instructions.
There's a Costco here -- in fact it used to be right on my route to work. But I've never been inside and have little interest in gigantic portions of everything. The cheaper gas I guess might be enough to pay for the membership.
Years ago my employer the private university had an agreement with Sam's Club; employees got a free membership. I shopped there, but the bricks of cheese were as big as a gold bar and I could never finish them before they developed mold.

Oh, and for me around 35N, this is just the heliacal rising of Sirius. This heralds the Dog Days of Summer.
And Jupiter just peeking up will its heliacal rising. That will be just about the 12th, maybe a little later for 35N.

The ancient Egyptians were really big on the heliacal rising of Sirius, as that heralded the flooding of the Nile.
The ancient Greek homos and then the Romans believed that Sirius added its heat to the Sun at this heliacal rising, which is what made summer so hot then. Sirius is the Dog Star, hence Dog Days.

The Buick is due for its six-month oil change this month. Though, since I run synthetic oil and a long-interval filter, and I have only 5200 miles on this fill, maybe I can push it back to Sept. Seven years I have with this car as of tomorrow, and I still smile when I walk up to it and when I run it at speed on a smooth road.

Not to be confused with "helical", "heliacal" means related to or with the sun.
The heliacal rising of a star (or anything) is when it just becomes visible at sunrise.
The heliacal setting is when it disappears into the sunset with the sun.

The finding adds to growing Western concerns about cybersecurity risks posed by Chinese-made networking equipment. Western governments have warned for years about hackers exploiting such devices, and U.S. regulators moved this year to restrict imports of foreign-made routers.
Jacob Baines, chief technology officer at VulnCheck, who found the backdoor, said in a blog post that the vulnerability, dubbed “Endlessdoors,” affects routers manufactured by Shenzhen Zhibotong Electronics Co. and sold under the Zbtlink and Wiflyer brand names.

Feel good story ‘It just makes sense!’: 13-year old builds 3D printed wheelchair for 21-month-old girl
While some 13-year-old boys spend their summer playing sports or swimming at pools, Zac Waters spent his time designing a 3D printed custom wheelchair for a 21-month old girl. After watching a YouTube channel about 3D printing, Waters felt inspired to make a difference using his passion of 3D printing. He discovered MakeGood, a nonprofit organization that 3D prints assistive devices for people with disabilities around the world, and knew he needed to get involved. Waters dedicated his summer to designing, 3D printing, testing, and assembling a custom wheelchair for a young girl. His favorite part of 3D printing is putting the pieces together, and this chair was no exception. The project took roughly 300 hours. Waters is thrilled to be part of the 3D printing community that helped bring the wheelchair design to life. He hopes to continue developing his skills and one day reach the level of expertise demonstrated by the MakeGood team that designed the wheelchair he assembled. The wheelchair has unique features in addition to its pink accents, the young girl’s favorite color. It has a removable cupholder and tray table, and the back of the chair has a space designed for heavier medical equipment. The adjustable straps are made with soft and bendable material for comfort. The footrest and headrest are adjustable for when the child gets older.Check out the whole thing. Such an awesome idea and great execution!

----- Update your records World’s third-smallest country changes its name
Nauru, a Pacific Island country, has changed its name to the Republic of Naoero, its president said, matching the spelling and pronunciation in the national language. According to The Associated Press, the country’s international code will change from NRU to NRO and its people will be known as dei-Naoero instead of Nauruan. Commonly known abroad by the pronunciation of Now-roo, the new name is pronounced as Now-ero.The article is paywalled, but I told you everything you need to know. What other name changes have occurred recently? Glad you asked! According to Google AI:
Recent Country Name Changes----- Not gonna lie - I kinda want one! Man who built $20,724 solar-powered yacht that can run forever passes 3,000 nautical miles having used zero fuel
Nauru to Naoero (2026): Restored the traditional local spelling for the Pacific island. Turkey to Türkiye (2022): Formally requested the United Nations use the Turkish spelling internationally. North Macedonia (2019): Changed from Macedonia to resolve a long-standing political naming dispute with Greece. Swaziland to Eswatini (2018 ): Reverted to its pre-independence Swazi name to mark 50 years of independence.
A man who built a $20,724 solar-powered yacht that can run forever has now passed an incredible 3,000 nautical miles while using exactly zero fuel. The DIY vessel has spent months cruising across Europe powered entirely by sunlight collected through standard rooftop solar panels. After building the boat himself on a budget, Lukas Sjoman says it has completely changed the way he thinks about long-distance travel. Now, after thousands of miles at sea, he believes solar-powered cruising could be the future for many boat owners.More at the link, which includes this video

Sailboats.

That was my thought, also. I suppose you might stretch and consider a sailboat to be "solar powered", since solar energy drives the wind. And stretch slightly further and call a fossil fuel boat "solar powered", just by sunlight that fell a really long time ago.

A neighborhood called Little Yemen. A man with a Hamas tattoo who says he “loves Hamas” and wants them running America. On welfare.
Hamas has murdered Americans. We’re paying for him.
An imam mocks Christianity, then leads prayer in Times Square declaring “We are taking over New York City.” Another man: “Inshallah, Islam will take over the West.”

There was some youtube channel a while back where a bunch of hippies bought a beater sailboat, engine seized, and I am sure the owner was glad to be rid of it.
They sailed to the Caribbean, I think it was, old school, all sail powered. Arriving, mooring, and leaving port, the works. That was hardcore sailing.

Do you see the masculine Democrat toughguy rebrand yet? They are copying what Trump did, but from the Left and as a "movement" instead of a single person. Soon the picture of Democrats - sneaky establishment power stepping on the common man, and the feminine gay and trans identity bud light driven horseshit party that Trump worked so hard to fight and expose - will be a memory.
The new energetic party has a message - they are the party of the working man again. And strong. It's about branding, not reality. They're starting extreme to get attention and then the Party can slowly modulate the message, depending on how things are received. Trump did this too by opening with crazy extreme ideas (a muslim ban, punishment for abortions) and then paring back.
Calling him scary did not work and Democrats know why. And he lurched the country Right despite having just his voice - and so with practically 100% media control, they're giving it a shot. And they get to do it the Democrat Way. At arm's length in case it doesn't quite work out. But heavily coordinated.

If you look where the DSA candidates are winning and where their votes are coming from it is almost universally from college towns
I've come to believe the argument this is a sign of colleges over producing people with degrees the private sector doesn't want as the most strident socialists in America are people with a fancy degree not making much money and the most anti-socialist people are those without an advanced degree making a good salary.
These DSA voters believe even if they don't get full on socialism they'll get the government looting the workers in full force again to finance more do nothing NGO jobs.

If I can see what they're doing, he definitely knows, and probably looooong before I did. He will have an idea how to fight it, but it's been designed to be very difficult to combat or stop.

Speaking of Charles Berry, there was a incident with Jim Irwin on Apollo 15. Both he and Scott got dehydrated and overheated during their EVAs, Irwin worse than Scott. There was a problem with the water dispensing system in the suits. Apollo 15 was the first J-mission, longer duration stays, and much more science work. Each EVA lasted about 7 hours on average.
Upon take-off from the surface, Irwin started experiencing a serious arrhythmia. Berry later said that if Irwin were back on earth, he would sent him to the ICU right then and there, and told Chris Kraft and Gene Kranz so.
We don't know who really made the call, but they didn't tell the crew about it. Berry probably thought that might make it worse. The EKG went back to normal, but they watched it like a hawk all the way back.
And Irwin did have a heart attack 2 years later, and another two after that, dying during the third one. He was the first of the Moonwalkers to pass away.

But, OMG, the set and the dancers, some kind of mix of hippie and ghey and I don't know. This is what the producers of the Ed Sullivan Show thought was Hip and Cool and Groovy in 1968. It was a sign of the times.

That's exactly what Berry told Kraft and Kranz. While the total cabin pressure was "only" 5 psi, that was pure O2 and thus was well higher than sea level O2 partial pressure of about 3 psia. During the EVAs, the suit pressure was lowered to about 3.75 psi, still higher than sea level.

On paper, the cardiovascular mortality rate of the Apollo astronauts who went to the Moon (Moonwalkers plus the CM pilots, and the the others who didn't land) is much higher than the population of LEO astronauts.
And animal studies have confirmed that cosmic rays and the others are indeed a cardiovascular risk. It basically causes hardening of the arteries, you might call it.
But, that said, the vast majority made it to their '80s, and the 4 living Moonwalkers are well in their 90s.
The four Artemis crew are 4 more data points for this, of course.

See the difference between partial pressure and total pressure. When you have a mix of (otherwise non-interacting) gases, you can treat the pressure of each separately, and is proportional to its molar fraction.
What matters for getting O2 in your blood via your lungs is the partial pressure of O2.

Partial pressure in gases is akin to concentration in liquids. Air is 21% oxygen. At 14 psi absolute, the partial pressure of oxygen is 14 X 0.21 = 2.94 psi.

And what matters for fire risk includes O2 partial pressure, but far more than that. It depends on the other gases mixed it.
5 psia pure O2 is no greater a fire risk than sea level air.

1. Always wear clean underwear in case you are in an accident.
2. Nohing good ever comes from posting angry e-mails at 3:39 in the morning.

Eisenhower cut through all that. For one, they needed people who had background checks and clearances, and their medical background was already documented. He decided military pilots with test flight backgrounds.
Gordon Cooper said he didn’t even know there was a space program. He got orders to report to Washington. “What’s this about?” he was asked, and of course he didn’t know either. He was a test pilot at Edwards. Told to check in at the Dolly Madison hotel under an assumed name.

Another way to see partial pressure. Imagine you take each gas separately, and then isothermally compress it to the total pressure of the mix. The volume fraction of each to the total will then be the same as the molar fraction.

If it lost it stinger, as in "dragged its guts out getting away" it was a bee. Wasps, hornets, Queen bees and bumblebees don't have barbed stingers. Their stinger slides in, squeezes out its shot of forming acid and other wonderful organic compounds, necrotizing enzymes, and slides right out, ready to sting you again.
I once caught a yellowjacket in my old open face Bell helmet, and by the time I got it off and released the damned thing, it had stung me 6 times (I counted the lumps in the mirror later) around the temple. I'm sure it was amusing watching me pull off the side of the road, drop the bike on its side, engine still running, rear wheel spinning and me frantically trying to release the D ring strap.

Speaking of oxygen (oxy-gun as some rednecks around here pronounce it): Mama is home. She's pretty weak, but in high spirits now she's home.
She called out that it was hard to breathe. Checked her O2 sat. 94% and dropping. They say that's not too bad, just worry if it gets below 88%, but with her, if it gets below 95%, she doesn't like it.
So, I got to checking flow, then got worried there was a leak. Scrambled around for a bit, then noticed the canula was out of her nose. She had to blow her nose and forgot to put it back in.

Sometimes, too high an O2 saturation can be bad. With COPD, it can cause blood CO2 to get too high. There's a lot of nuance and complicated stuff, so they sometimes say keep it at no more than 92%.
Mama's blood CO2 runs on the higher side, but the MDs who are supposed to know what they're talking about told me too high O2 is not a problem for her, so crank it up to whatever she likes. No higher try not to, but don't worry about the high O2 levels.

You say 'steal', multi-millionaires say 'sample'. And I just now found out, the line is delivered by Sir Mix-a-Lot in both songs, since it's an actual sample and not just a sound-alike.

Anoia is the Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers, a minor goddess on the Discworld. When someone rattles a drawer and cries "How can it close on the damned thing but not open with it? Who bought this? Do we ever use it?", even though the person might be genuinely irritated or even exasperated, it is as praise unto Anoia. Faithful Anoians (worshippers of Anoia) purposefully rattle their drawers and complain every day. Anoia also finds objects that roll under other objects and things stuck in sofa cushions, and is considering handling stuck zippers. She eats corkscrews. Her name is clearly derived from "annoy".

Once upon a time, there was someone from the Netherlands helping with an astronomical survey of galaxies. They sent other people in the project a photograph with a glowing green thing circled and a note 'What's this voorwerp?' ("voorwerp" being a Dutch version of 'whatchamacallit' - a placeholder name). They didn't know, either, but as the picture got circulated around astronomers - and some more similar glowing green things were found with people saying 'found another voorwerp' - it ended up adopted as the term for that class of objects.
(If you're wondering, a voorwerp seems to occur when a quasar nukes the hell out of a huge cloud of gas, leaving an intensely glowing galaxy-sized mess behind).

A another galaxy passes close to the main galaxy, IC2497 here, so close that the big galaxy pulls a long, spiral tidal tail out of the passing galaxy.
The close of that tail engorges the central black hole, turning it on into an AGN (something like a quasar). Powerful radiation erupts from that engorged black hole in a cone from its poles. That ionizes the gas in the far tidal tail. And a little later powerful spurts of slower gas comes out of the engorged, turned-on black hole, and the shock triggers star formation.
The black hole then goes down, and turns off. And we're left with a pregnant Voorwerp.

I will have enough actual wire. I have been stripping out some old coils of BX (armored cable), both 12/3 and 12/2. Should have more than enough for the backbone, and #12 is massive overkill for the current needed. For the branches, a friend has offered me a large spool of 14/2 Romex; just take what I need off it. But I have a metric fuckton of old cabtire cord and extension cords; I might just use that for the branches. It's all going to be in metal tubing; which will be attached to to a metal ceiling; and it's never going to be inspected. Nothing there to burn, and it will be protected by a 15 amp breaker anyway.

What I wanted to know was, what was the weird guitar played by the tall dark-haired guy on the left, with the cowboy hat and mustache? It has a Fender-style headstock, and everyone else on stage is rocking Fender guitars; but the body shape is unique, vaguely Mosrite but of no specific type. The answer is that the player is Nokie Edwards, and the guitar is the one of two custom-made for him by Tony Hunt out of Arkansas, who'd worked at Mosrite with Semie Moseley.

Since Hanny first exposed her Voorwerp there, a few more have been discovered. Some of them are smaller, and are known as voorwerpjes, little voorwerps.
These are formed by basically the same mechanism, but by a less powerful black hole. Just doesn't get so big when engorged or something.

Several weeks ago a woman on at the store had on a tee shirt which had "Eff this" for about 50 different things. I could only read "F taxis" because the writing was too smal, I didn't want to stare at her chest and I had to go someplace else.

@historyinmemes To appear headless while taking a photo, known as "horsemaning", was a popular way to pose in the 1920's. Horsemaning, also known as "headless posing," is a photographic technique where the subject creates the illusion of being beheaded, with their head placed on the ground or another surface. This unique form of posing gained popularity during the 1920s and was considered a photography trend at the time. To achieve the desired effect, two individuals are required for this pose. One person positions themselves with their head hidden or tilted backward, while the other conceals their body, revealing only their head in the photograph. The term "Horsemaning" originated from the Headless Horseman, a malevolent character depicted in Washington Irving's 1820 short story titled "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." In 2011, Horsemaning experienced a resurgence on Facebook, and numerous photos attempting to recreate the original trend started circulating on platforms like Buzzfeed. This revitalization brought renewed attention to the peculiar and imaginative art of Horsemaning.

The New Horizons transmitter is X-band, at just 12W power. Detecting that signal from earth has been compared to seeing a flashlight from across the width of the US, 3000 miles distance.
The reason for this amazing sensitivity is the bands chosen for space communication have extremely low natural background noise.

FAHBulous.
I once literally busted out of a hospital. I was in a foreign country and I'd had it. I called two friends for help. "I'm leaving!" I yelled at the nurse. She literally shook a needle at me and yelled back, "The doctor's going to be mad about this!" Doctor shrugged. Okay. Craziest thing ever, I was on crutches, had to go down a flight of broken concrete steps with an ice-covered puddle at the bottom and get a cab outta there. And that was the OUTSIDE of the hospital. The inside, don't get me started...

Illegals cost about $400 B
ok what does that mean
Ok it is Costco or Cat or Oracle Market Cap
So now what do I know?
I know a lot of people work for them and feed and house their families
But what if it is a sucking sound of people that demand you feed and house their families.
What if the people SUCK $400 B out of your life?
Do you have $1500 buck to spend on other people that do not want to join your system?
Why cant Republican leadership point out the COST?

RED CROSS DELETES VIDEO AFTER MIGRANT MURDERS BRITISH WOMAN
The Red Cross made a sympathetic cartoon video showing the journey of Sharif, an Afghan travelling to Europe
When Sharif got there he MURDERED a British Woman and stuffed her body into a suitcase
They wanted you to feel sorry for him but he killed a young woman like the savage that he is
The Red Cross must be held to account for the blood they have on their hands

Two of the biggest issues with extended human spaceflight is radiation and pressure changes. If that .2 millibar change makes the old breaks hurt, think what happens when compartment 6 starts leaking. Thicker pressure hulls will help for both of them. It is hard to get mass out of Earth's gravity well, but much easier from the moon, even if it is just gypsum or regolith to epoxy into plates.
The third, the problem with zero-g is going to be harder of course.

Quick Hits
James Talarico is so normal and masculine!
James Talarico Headlined Pride Event Alongside 11-Year-Old Child Drag Queen 'Kween Kee Kee': 'Absolute Cutest and Youngest of Our Drag Performers' The Pride Month event also featured a drag queen with the provocative name 'Sedonya Face'Sit-on-your-face, GET IT??!!! I love all of drag queens' joke (singular).
James Talarico, a Presbyterian seminarian running for U.S. Senate from Texas, headlined an LGBTQ festival that featured "the absolute cutest & youngest of our drag performers," an 11-year-old boy "drag queen" who goes by the stage name Kween Kee Kee. Taylor PRIDE, a group in the town of Taylor, Texas, held the June 26, 2021, event to raise money to help "rural LGBTQ communities." The Pride Month festivities included a series of pro-LGBTQ speakers, live music, a "drag story hour," and adult drag performers such as Brianna Brinxx and the provocatively named Sedonya Face. Talarico and Kween Kee Kee, a local preteen named Keegan, were the biggest attraction for Taylor PRIDE organizers. "[Taylor PRIDE] will be hosting numerous speakers such as State Rep. James Talarico, talented musical guests such as Venus Loves Mars, the absolute cutest & youngest of our drag performers Kween Kee Kee," the group wrote in promotional materials. "Not only ... will this amazing pre-teen be performing a number at Texas Beer Company but they will also host Kee Kee Storytime ... where children will find lots of PRIDE inspired craft activities," Taylor PRIDE wrote of Kween Kee Kee in a post publicizing the event. Talarico, running against Texas attorney general Ken Paxton (R.), is seen in photos speaking to the audience and posing with attendees at Texas Beer Company, which hosted the festival. Kween Kee Kee, sporting a shimmery blue dress, heavy eye makeup, and a platinum blonde wig, performed a drag routine as part of the group's "Youth Drag Show," event photos show.
Migrant NGOs are handing out leaflets instructing illegal aliens how to illegally cross the Channel from France to UK and how to call for the British navy to save you when you want to be brought ashore.
Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." CNN's Abby Phillip corrected a guest: "I will say El-Sayed didn't -- does not support defunding the police." When she was confronted by CNN's own reporting that he called for defunding the police, Phillip offered a curious response...
..."I think the question that I'm fundamentally asking is, by dredging up the sort of wedge issues of 2020, are you missing the point?" Well, the point is that he called for defunding the police. It may be a wedge issue when a candidate wants to return to the state of nature... ...This is the same reporter who "dredged up" an attack line against Bernie Sanders in the presidential debates and made Sanders repeat his outright denial of the allegation by Elizabeth Warren that he told her that no woman could be president.
The Critical DrinkerThe hero who knocked out the Democrat congressional candidate weakling says "I didn't even know who he was." Of course you didn't. He's another nobody soyboy who thinks he can bully the world into saying he's special. Hasan Piker is proof that we must not only end birthright citizenship but end it retroactively. Trump must have seen this Terror Cuck's ugly mug and decided to act.
@TheCriticalDri2 7h Walking down the average UK high street now is one of the most blackpilling experiences imaginable. Barely any local businesses left, just endless vape shops, tacky nail salons, dodgy phone retailers and the obligatory Turkish barbers, most of which never see a single customer and barely even bother to maintain the pretence of being legit anymore. A palpable atmosphere of quiet despair and resignation amongst the trickle of shoppers wandering aimlessly around. Its like living in a country that just lost a war without firing a single shot. Never seen anything like it in my lifetime.
President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Thursday that attempt to restrict birthright citizenship and end the practice of "birth tourism," in hopes of circumventing a recent Supreme Court decision. ... The order restricting birthright citizenship expands the definition of what children born in the United States would be ineligible for automatic citizenship, including children of "alien enemies of the United States, members of foreign terrorist organizations and large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments." The other order directs the State Department to issue rules and guidance to stop birth tourism, according to Axios, even as U.S. law already bans tourists from obtaining visas "for the primary purpose of obtaining U.S. citizenship for a child by giving birth in the United States."Francesca Hong won't have any of that awful "proximity to whiteness" when we deport her.
Megan BashamIn case you missed it: evil America-hating anchor baby Francesca Hong got a call from her pollster and discovered she actually loves Thanksgiving, rather than hating it as "painful" for foreigners like herself.
@megbasham Aug 5 I've said this before. Francesca Hong was born to non-citizen immigrants. In other words, she has citizenship in the U.S. because she was born here when her parents were on student visas. Birthright citizenship candidates like her are FAR more likely to be extreme leftwing than to be the kind of pro American patriot that we are promised when we grant this kind of citizenship. And now she is running as a socialist in order to dismantle the American way of life. Tell me more about how this isn't a problem.
Unfunnyman Stephen Colbert warned his audience of brain-damaged clapping seals to not take a vaccine created by Big Pharma... when Trump was president. Then Biden was fake-elected, and you know what happened next.
Stephen Colbert's nepo baby daughter works at, get this, 60 Minutes. Or at least she did. She's resigned as CBS gets ready to purge its " " " news talent. " " "
Stephen Colbert's daughter has resigned from "60 Minutes," becoming the latest behind-the-scenes producer to leave the venerable newsmagazine as it grapples with a talent exodus, a reportedly unaired Jeffrey Epstein investigation and mounting scrutiny of its future ownership. Madeleine Carlisle, a well-regarded associate producer who joined "60 Minutes" after reporting stints at Time and The Atlantic, resigned from the broadcast in recent days, according to Status. The exit creates an awkward family bookend for CBS. Carlisle left just months after the network pulled the plug on her father's top-rated "Late Show," ending Stephen Colbert's 11-season run on May 21 after CBS called the cancellation a "purely financial decision."

said this before, if a woman from another country comes here 8 & 1/2 months pregnant, gives birth and leaves for home shortly afterwards that kid is not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" and should not be considered a citizen

Yes, not even pennies on the dollar. I would expect no more than a thousandth of the value to us, and for some, maybe only a nominal consideration.
That's the pattern I've seen in news reports of official corruption. Whether it was a property manager steering maintenance contracts for public housing, or a sweetheart deal for a no-bid contract to be a pointless middleman doubling the price of Covid tests, the kickback was relatively trivial, at least three figures less than the value of the deal.
That's probably because what the corruptocrat was selling wasn't his, so it was no cost to him, and also he couldn't put it up on eBay for a bidding war. It was either take the pittance on offer or get nothing for it.
I'm curious to learn if this is a general principle that applies to other things, like fencing stolen art and jewelry. I would bet it does.

I'm guessing the kit has a series of tubes, a bicycle pump, and one of those big drilling/reaming contraptions you see mounted on tripods in bank heist movies. The big drill is usually operated by a guy named Jimmie who is the kid brother of the gang leader who let little bro in on one last big deal. The gang leader loves his little brother and promised his mom he'd always take care of him.
Jimmie dies, horribly, all captured in slow motion, during a shootout after the botched colon job which sets up a cycle of violent revenge between the gang and the protagonist.
I'm excited to see how it all turns out.

Critical Drinker's read on London is spot on.
We were in London a few weeks ago and our hotel was in South Kensington near what used to be a nice major street now mostly fronted by crap shops, hookah dumps and garbage on the street every morning.
Once upon a time, early in the morning, you'd see shopkeepers sweeping and cleaning up the front of their stores and shops, but-
Nope.
Just garbage dumped on the curb from the night before.
It wasn't like that everywhere, but it was surprising how much was exactly like that.

Don't get too excited. It's just a small bottle brush-like dingus that you stick into your poop at multiple locations, then seal into a vial for return.
If anything weird shows up on that, you'll still have to go in for the full Black and Decker Snake Light up the ass treatment.
Pro tip: the paper sheet they give you to catch your poop is 100% useless. Don't even attempt it.
Instead, get one of those disposable aluminum pie plates and put that in the toilet. Get your sample, dump the turd off into the toilet, and throw the pie plate away.

Texas was a (D) state for pretty much its entire history until W Bush came around. It was never blood red, I'm from here, live here, and where we are right now, or at least in 2024, is as red as it's ever been. the Dallas mayor changed from a (D) to a (R) not long ago, Trump turned over the RGV - Reagan and W never did that.
Stop believing the bullshit, yes, a shit load of people have moved here, not all of them are leftists. I know blue people who have left precisely because they don't want to live in red Texas.
Texas is not purple, it is not blood red. It's not the next Colorado. There are too many urban fuckups, yeah, but the rest of the state is bigger than any other in the lower 48 and has a shitload of normal people in it and will for a very long time.

It NEEDS to not even allow it for secondary purposes of giving birth. In fact, it needs to prevent all pregnant women on temporary visas within 3 months of giving birth to enter the United States (tourist visas are 3 months, IIRC). And if you lie about the timing, and your kid happens to be born here, you need to be sent home and your child automatically de-naturalized for the mom providing false information.

Natalie Winters: Top American Generals and Democrat Politicians (Including Hillary Clinton) Joined Chinese Intelllgence's Backchannel Efforts to Distort American Policy
Rich Higgins, RIP, told me long ago that generals and admirals are frequently recruited as agents of influence for foreign powers.
The usual scam is that a foreign government hires them, post-retirement, for "security consulting." For a couple of weeks' "work," they get a million dollars. But the scam is, they're not being paid for their "security consulting." They're being paid to have a friendly relationship with that foreign government. So that when the foreign power needs a favor, they can ask their Pet General to contact high-ranking politicians or current Pentagon staffers and pitch them the foreign power's agenda. Democrats have had a long history of treasonous liaisons with China. You all remember Red China pouring money into the Clinton re-election campaign through Chinese "nuns" who deposited Chinese money on behalf of the Chinese government. Chinese "nuns" who'd taken a vow of poverty poured tens of thousands into the Clinton-Gore re-election campaign, and Al Gore and Hillary and Bill Clinton said "Yes please and thank you, no further questions. We await your orders, Comrades." Natalie Winters says it's only gotten worse.REVEALED: Top American Generals Joined a CCP Spy Front's Backchannel Pushing China's Military Agenda in Washington. Some Ended Up on China's Payroll.China #hacked our elections and all of these people need to be investigated for years and years by the FBI, NSA, and CIA.
From Hillary Clinton to former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it's treason at the highest levels. Aug 04, 2026 For more than a decade, former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs, combatant commanders, Cabinet officials and members of Congress participated in a military dialogue organized with a Chinese group identified by congressional investigators as a front engaged in "intelligence collection" and "propaganda and perception management." Some ended up on China's payroll shortly after. The Chinese Communist Party did not need to penetrate the Pentagon to gain access to America's military leadership. It built a private network around it. For more than a decade, some of the most powerful retired officers in the United States participated in closed-door meetings with senior Chinese military leaders. The discussions covered Taiwan, the South China Sea, missile defense, cybersecurity and the future of relations between the two militaries. The American participants included: Gen. Peter Pace, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. William "Bill" Owens, former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. John Abizaid, former commander of U.S. Central Command Gen. Raymond Odierno, former Army Chief of Staff Adm. Jonathan Greenert, former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Timothy Keating, former commander of U.S. Pacific Command Gen. Ronald Fogleman, former Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Dennis Reimer, former Army Chief of Staff Adm. Joseph Prueher, former commander of U.S. Pacific Command Gen. John Keane, former Vice Chief of Staff of the Army Gen. Walter Sharp, former commander of U.S. Forces Korea Gen. Charles Jacoby, former commander of U.S. Northern Command Gen. Charles Wilhelm, former commander of U.S. Southern Command The program was called the Sanya Initiative. Its glossy brochures framed it as a peaceful exchange between retired American and Chinese generals. Photographs showed senior officers chatting in Hawaiian shirts, touring military institutions and sitting across from Chinese commanders in ornate meeting rooms. But the initiative was not organized with an ordinary veterans' association. It was funded by the China-United States Exchange Foundation, or CUSEF, and conducted with the China Association for International Friendly Contact, or CAIFC. Congressional investigators have described CAIFC as "a front organization" for the People's Liberation Army's former General Political Department. The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission found that the group performed the dual roles of "intelligence collection" and "conducting propaganda and perception management campaigns." The commission specifically cited CAIFC's work through the Sanya Initiative. Put simply -- America's most senior former military leaders spent years collaborating through a program organized with a Chinese military front that U.S. government investigators linked to intelligence gathering and foreign influence operations. ... The CPPCC is a central part of the Chinese Communist Party's United Front system. U.S. government reports describe the United Front as an influence apparatus designed to build relationships with foreign elites, suppress opposition to Beijing and induce influential outsiders to advance Chinese Communist Party objectives. One congressional report described its mission as seeking to: "Co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition." CUSEF heavily relies on the foreign influence tactic of "pay-for-play" trips, including paying and subsidizing journalists to travel to China in exchange for "favorable coverage." From Retired Generals To The State Department The first Sanya Initiative gathering took place in China in 2008. ... The following year, the initiative moved beyond meetings among retired officers. CUSEF brought the combined American and Chinese delegations through Hawaii, Washington, D.C., and New York. According to the foundation's own brochure, they met: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell Rep. Rick Larsen Rep. Mark Kirk Adm. Timothy Keating Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle

I had to double-check
The U.S.–China Relations Act of 2000 is an act of the United States Congress that granted People's Republic of China permanent normal trade relations (NTR) status (previously called most favoured nation (MFN)) when China becomes a full member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), ending annual review and approval of NTR. It was signed into law on October 10, 2000, by United States President Bill Clinton. The Act also establishes a Congressional-Executive Commission to ensure that China complies with internationally recognized human rights laws, meets labor standards and allows religious freedom, and establishes a task force to prohibit the importation of Chinese products that were made in forced labor camps or prisons.[1]
The Act also includes so-called "anti-dumping" measures designed to prevent an influx of inexpensive Chinese goods into the United States that might hurt American industries making the same goods. It allows new duties and restrictions on Chinese imports that "threaten to cause market disruption to the U.S. producers of a like or directly competitive product."[2

From what I recall, Bush gave them temporary MFN, renewable every year but only if they met certain conditions. It was a carrot.
It was very controversial at the time, and Clinton criticized it during the campaign. Bush was former ambassador, so he had ideas about China. I thought he was a fool.
Clinton gave them permanent MFN. Carrot gone. Now they could do as they pleased. The act only made it legislatively approved and added some other conditions. Also the switchover to WTO, which was a treaty and needed approval. But the damage was done by Clinton.
Just like that idiot Nixon said there were "two Chinas," recognizing Peking, and then that traitor Carter gave the UN seat to the wrong China. -- an R does something foolish but meaningless to be clever, and then a D gives away the shop.

I've been saying that for years. Even if everyone involved was acting honorably (they're not), post-retirement retention of security clearances are nothing more than subsidies for defense contractors.
If they go to a contractor after retirement, then I don't see a problem with having that contractor pay for a new clearance.

‘Res ipsa loquitur’ is a Latin phrase used in law, meaning "the thing speaks for itself.” In other words, it’s something so suspicious, so unexplainable in any other way, that the mere existence is the proof.
Why else would the CCP be funding lavish junkets and fake jobs to exotic locations for high-ranking retired military? Do they do this for retired privates?
The only reason the CCP would do this is to buy intel and influence. There is no other conceivable reason.

Trump orders limits on birthright citizenship, targets ‘birth tourism’ President Trump on Thursday signed two executive orders again aimed at restricting birthright citizenship, an apparent attempt to circumvent a recent Supreme Court ruling that upheld the constitutional protection.
One of the president’s orders expands the definition of who would be ineligible for automatic citizenship, including “alien enemies of the United States, members of foreign terrorist organizations and large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments,” according to officials.
The second executive order seeks to ban the practice of “birth tourism,” which involves traveling to another country for the primary purpose of giving birth on its soil so that the child automatically has citizenship. The practice, which constitutes a form of obtaining a visa on fraudulent grounds, is already illegal but has become a target of the right.

A ceremony made famous when the unwashed Frogs railroaded a decent but fairly ordinary artillery officer for being a German spy, simply because he was a Jew. And who doubled-down when another shitbag officer was identified as the actual spy, because they didn't want to admit that they'd made a mistake. Ironic, because the shitbag was well-known as one of the biggest shitbags in the Frog army, and didn't even have any real allies on the General Staff.

It would do nothing. Having a security clearance does not equal having access to classified material, it just means that they could, if needed, be granted access to material at a given level.
When I left the Navy, I was given a list of 40-50 countries that I could not visit without prior permission from the DOD. It seems to me that General Officers, or even better - anyone with a TS clearance, may not meet with non-allied government personnel without prior approval. Not that they wouldn't get the approval.

Started in the late 80's with the Elder Bush as Prezzy.
He HATED the real military... and military traditions... those things that set them apart. He was the one who politicized the Officer class, and started the real social engineering experiments on the military.
From blatant Sex and Race quotas... To Women on Combat ships... to using Civilian Management (Total Quality Leadership?)...
Navy? No more tacking on crows? No more good command parties (used tailhook as the excuse)? REALLY watered down Shellback...
And worse, made any dissent to equal opportunity a career killer... thus creating the Wishy Washy General and Admirals we now see.

Didn't get much play but basically a bunch of officers in the Far East got entangled with a Chicom asset-Fat Leonard,
"Scope: The investigation scrutinized over 440 people, including 60 admirals, with more than 30 individuals facing criminal charges.
Modus Operandi: Francis overcharged the Navy by at least $35 million for services while receiving classified ship movement data to position his vessels for profit. "

Just find a Wash Post news article circa late 2012 early 2013 about how the Obama administration and its CIA Head Brennan were trying to find the hole in security that was responsible for dozens, if not hundreds, of US foreign intel assets disappearing or turning up dead.

What she is saying is that both of them participated in these romps with their Chicom counterparts--the problem with having discussions on matters like Taiwan, etc. is a) it can be considered a signal by the US government on policy which is beyond assholes like them, b) often the slightest dribs and drabs of information from informal meetings like this can be used to confirm intel intercepts and to provide avenues to probe for more information or even flipping.
We have already caught a former US pilot and the UK has several that have trained Chicom military pilots on such matters as teh F-35. And this kind of friendly shit is exactly what encourages the lessers if they see the flag rank engaging in this shit as retired.

Frankly, American flag officers have a deplorable history of insubordination against higher ups in the chain of command. Goes back at least as far as the Civil War with Gen Ripley at the Ordnance Dept who flat-out refused Lincoln's command to adopt the Spenser Rifle, or McClellan's consistent insubordination. All the way through MacArthur's bullshit in Korea, and that fat ass Gen Milley.
I even put McCrystal's disrespect and insubordination WHILE HE WAS STILL IN UNIFORM against Obama in the same box. Obama was an incompetent asshole, but he was the elected President of the United States. Either obey his orders or resign in protest.

Outrageous! Dwarfish Democrat Troll Roland Martin Says That People Are Circulating Rumors About Him Being Videotaped In "Compromising Positions" and Threatens to Sue Anyone Publishing The Videos
Boy this is a day of Internet Pests come to grief.
Roland Martin, if you've forgotten, is a racial supremacist. His race is Troll. He is a literal troll-man. He's got the body of a potato and a head of a potato, but a different potato.* This Troll pretends to be black and attacks white people and Republicans incessantly. He was involved in that matter of giving Hillary Clinton the questions before her fake CNN "debate" with Bernie Sanders. And now some people are making claims of a sexual nature about him. Roland Martin says these claims are part of an "extortion" plot and is suing anyone who posts images or the video. Because he's threatening to sue everyone, I'll say that I totally believe him and I believe that he will be vindicated in court in his battle with these internet smear-merchants and blackmailers. Google AI:Social media and gossip commentators, including Tasha K and Wack 100, circulated unverified rumors and claims regarding alleged leaked compromising photos and private footage involving journalist Roland Martin. Martin and his team characterized the online claims as an extortion and blackmail plot, addressing the rumors through legal threats against the distribution of such material. Background and Context Gossip platforms and digital creators spread rumors claiming that compromising media involving Martin had been obtained. Online commentators alleged an extortion or blackmail attempt tied to the unverified materials.Martin's side and related digital reports noted threats of legal action against individuals attempting to distribute or monetize the purported content.Black Conservative Perspective is forced to mention this but wants it to be known that he has no opinion on these completely-fake allegations at all, which by the way he mentions might involve the prostitute vigorously penetrating him. Allegedly -- and remember, these false rumors are being pushed by blackmailers and smear merchants. Do not be misled, these are all LIES which you must disbelieve!

Based on what's been reported so far, no. Treason has a very specific meaning and it's defined in the Constitution so, unless the Administration wants to claim that China is an enemy and that their actions were aid and comfort, then it isn't treason.
I'm reasonably certain, though, that just having back-channel discussions with members of a foreign military with whom we are not allied, violates any number of UCMJ regulations so they should all be returned to active duty, court martialed, and either imprisoned or demoted - a lot - as the evidence warrants.

The measured response was that those were silver dollars back in 1966, valued at $1 = 0.77344 oz.
At today’s market price, that silver dollar would be worth about $48 in purchasing power with today’s dollar.
That new Chevy Impala actually cost your grandpa ~3,000 oz of silver … $186K at today’s exchange rate.
Which makes me ask, how come so many people were able to buy the equivalent cost of a Porsche 911 60 years ago? Was that more or fewer than can afford one today, who would think it is a good investment?
That is two new Range Rover GTs.
Why is this considered a valid counter argument?

Nah, there was a receipt posted with it too. But there, 5K in 1975 was still around 200K in today's money. You can buy a lot of Cadillac to day for that price. And a lot of people bought Cadillacs in 1975. How could they afford it if there is no change in absolute earnings between then and now?

$5,000 in 1972 is equivalent to approximately $39,423 – $39,499 in 2026 based on the standard Consumer Price Index (CPI). This represents a cumulative price increase of roughly 689.98% over the 54-year period, with an average annual inflation rate of about 3.90%.

And they don't make Impalas anymore so my argument is invalid. Yeah, valid point.
It is the price of a Lamborqhini Ursus, it is the value of a Nissan-Rogue-short of a Aston Martin. And they sold thousands of Impalas that year. How could that many people afford that size of a cost in 1964 if there has been no shrinkage of purchasing power?

Why not convert the price to diamonds? Or NYC penthouses?
The cumulative monetary increase from 1972 until 2026 was roughly 689.98%. Further, cars cost more today because they have more shit in them than was the case in 1972 - you are free to argue that this is a bad idea and I won't dispute that - but saying that an Impala in 1972 is roughly the equivalent of a small home today is ludicrous.

@EricLDaugh Aug 3 🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Jaw-dropping fraud report just found that 9.2 million people -- including ILLEGAL ALIENS -- do NOT meet the federal requirements to qualify for the Obamacare Medicaid expansion program...that's nearly HALF of those enrolled 50% FRAUD 🤯 The problems are the worst in CA and NY. IMAGINE THAT. "The study says New York and California have some of the biggest problems, finding up to 62% of people enrolled in California are not eligible. And the states might not even be incentivized to fix the issue." "This study says some of those people actually make too much money to qualify for this Medicaid expansion program and others are getting these benefits, even though they're here in the country illegally!" The entire system has to be gutted! Purge the rolls!

"And that's frankly by conservatively estimating it!" 🤯 "We've been able to stop $56 BILLION in fraudulent payments that would have otherwise gone to fraudsters rather than to the people who need them."

The amount of fraud from Medicaid pales in comparison to the amount of grift by the current US president and his family.
everyone should be letting our local reps know that it is time for America to catch up to other countries and implement universal healthcare. No one should have to go into debt and be forced to file bankruptcy over medical debt
WTF even if Medicaid recipient fraud? Someone's doctor said they need health care and they got health care? Oh, the horror! So, let's make people who are unwell jump through hoops instead. How is that any better?
ANYTHING to distract from the Epstein files.
I'd rather pay an extra 20$ in tax a month for everyone to universally get health care then 300$ amonth for private health care that forces me to pay 6,000$ first before they even help

She is the only progressive politician with a national profile who's not Bernie. For 2028, she is the progressive candidate.
However, she has to balance a sure loss against Kamala in the presidential primary with a potential win against Schumer in the senate primary where she can become Senate important instead of House important. Hell, it might improve her chances of running for president in 2032 if she does it from a Senate seat.

They started sending me increasingly harshly-worded letters over $48 once, so presumably less than that.
I still don't think I owed it, but I paid it when the threats lreached the "we will seize your property" level.
It would have cost more than $48 to fight it, even if I did all the work myself, so...

A Los Angeles homeless nonprofit CEO earned more than $1.6 million in salary, bonuses and vacation payouts — despite living thousands of miles away in Hawaii.
Carol Adelkoff, from 1736 Family Crisis Center, was the highest paid homeless executive in Los Angeles after earning the whopping figure over the last two years.
She collected $907,923 in 2023 and another $742,181 in 2024, compensation that dwarfed the pay of leaders running much larger homeless service organizations across LA County, the LA Times reports.

Stop giving money to the states, and they won't be able to maladminister it.
Don't replace block grants with Federally administered programs; we've already been there and done that, and know FedGov is terrible at doing things. That's why the block grants were put in place, but now we know that many states are as bad or worse.
Just zero them out. Let the states fund their own social welfare fraud programs, if they want them, and leave the residents of other states in peace.

The subsides also cover deductibles and copays. It’s essentially welfare disguised as “insurance”.
The coverage is no worse with the subsidies vs paying full freight. All Obamacare does is pay a portion of the cost for for “the poor”. But whether you pay $50 or $1000 a month the policy is the same and covers the same thing. Those polices are pretty much the same thing you get with an employer.
I went in and out of self employment. My insurance was more or less the same when I had it via an employer or bought myself. The only difference was price and who paid for it.

Her only hope would be Kamala picking her for VP, which is possible but I wouldn't count on it. Kamala will either go black girl magic with Crockett or try to "balance the ticket" with someone like Kelly from AZ.
If Kamala wins in 2028, AOC could hope for an AG spot or something, but that's putting her future in someone else's hands.

For 48 bucks they will put a lien on your property, and garnish it out of your wages, bank account or stock accounts, and charge you fees and interest until it is paid in full. They can also nab it out of your state refund.

I know we all know this - but the democrats are continuing down the path of eliminating certain demographic groups as they work to find more victims. And then alienate everybody else.
They have lost blue collar white and hispanic men voters. They are about to lose hispanic women voters. They are starting to lose the jewish vote, but more importantly, the money they bring. They have black women, unmarried college educated white women, and persons with advanced degrees.
Married women vote GOP.
The DSA types are going to scare away even more cohorts. If we get a fair count, I like our chances. The math no longer works for the left.

In a similar vein albeit a smaller scale in a previous life, I pointed out to the operator of a joint venture gas production platform out in the Gulf of (then) Mexico, that I didn't think JV partners should have to share the cost of a John Deere Riding Lawnmower that the Chief Tool Pusher had ordered and charged to the offshore platform.
I did mention a few times the Gulf of Mexico location of said offshore platform.

Senate Panel Votes to Hold Fauci in Contempt, as Democrats Attempt to Stop The Vote Through Endless Delay
Senate Republicans moved to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress in their pursuit of forcing the former architect of the nation's COVID-19 response to go on record about his actions leading up to and during the pandemic. The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted on sharp party lines to charge Fauci, the former chief medical advisor to the president, with contempt after he refused to answer questions from both sides of the aisle over fear of self-incrimination. The move follows Fauci's decision to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights more than 100 times during his hearing last week, which prompted the panel's chair, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to vow that he would face "repercussions" for not testifying, or at least how Paul envisioned.Fox is implying that Fauci did testify, just "not as Paul envisioned." Fox News is as liberal as CNN. I despise them.
Typically, once a contempt resolution passes by committee, it heads to the Senate floor for a full vote. However, Paul's resolution allows that step to be skipped altogether and allows him to send the referral directly to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. But Paul wants the Department of Justice (DOJ) involved as soon as possible. There's also the question whether Fauci's pardon from former President Joe Biden protected him during the hearing, which Paul hopes to find answers to. "It's a good legal discussion, and we will make those legal points to DOJ in sending the referral over," Paul told Fox News Digital ahead of the hearing. ... Meanwhile, across the marble expanse of the Capitol, Republican investigators in the House are cooking up their own probe into Fauci.
... After the longtime public health official pleaded the Fifth Amendment during his Senate hearing, Comer questioned the validity of his preemptive pardon granted by President Joe Biden. He also said his committee would be questioning Fauci further, though he did not elaborate. "If former President Biden's blanket autopen pardon is valid, then Dr. Fauci has no right to refuse to answer questions," Comer said, noting his committee had done extensive work probing the autopen pardons. "Based on the release of Dr. Fauci's diary, which should have been provided to the House Oversight Committee last Congress...we'll be asking Dr. Fauci whether he stands by his previous testimony to our Committee."

I'm not sure that Fox is quite as bad as CNN, but they certainly have morphed into a squishy left-of-center news outlet.
I wonder whether that is because they are trying to draw an even larger audience, assuming that conservatives have nowhere else to go, and won't leave.

Not the same, Fauci cannot claim executive privilege and did not. Bannon did and the case was whether executive privilege could be asserted even from a past presidency, Biden could have waived it but didn't.
Fauci's problem was analyzed and it started with his opening statement--depending on whether courts find Congressional hearings analogous to court trials, once you open your mouth on the stand to make a statement then you waived your 5th Amendment right. The second is that he was pardoned for likely testimony--again, depends on how it is treated by courts as to whether that pardon made his testimony compellable.

I saw that 3 states have subpoenas against Fauci today. For profiting during the pandemic and his decisions impacting their state businesses and consumers.
Florida, West Virginia and Louisiana.
I could be wrong, but I think I read his pardon was only at the federal,not state, level?
May he go bankrupt and end his days in misery with his ugly wife (if prison is not in his future).

POTUS can only issue a pardon or commutation for Federal crimes, not for state crimes. Fauci better get his squeekhole shored up for the state level charges.

Saved the day a few times at the battle of Saratoga that ended with the surrender of an entire Brit Army.

Brix is (arguably) a more sympathetic target. Whatever she might divulge isn't going to put Fauci any closer to prison. And putting her in jail might backfire.
I've said this before; there are a lot of people, from Congress who authorized the bullshit Fauci recommended, down to the governors and mayors who implemented the lockdowns, to law enforcement, judges, store owners, medical professionals, etc. who are all equally guilty of many different abuses.

Secretly recorded PFIZER SCIENTISTS exposed the truth they NEVER wanted you to hear.
Nick Karl (Pfizer scientist): Natural immunity from actual COVID gives *better* and more complete antibodies than their vaccine — because the jab only targets the outside protein while the real virus trains your body against the whole thing.
Chris Croce (Senior Pfizer Scientist): You’re protected with natural immunity, not the vaccine… and then drops this: “I work for an evil corporation.”
They signed NDAs to keep quiet.

They still pushed mass vaccination on every single person.

EVERY deadly 'flu' over the last 50 years has come from China. SARS, bird flu, swine flu, covid......ALL of them. Created in a lab in China and distributed around the world.
No accountability.

One good thing came from that debacle, which was that Nathaniel Greene replaced Gates.

If you survive polio, you will have lifetime immunity from polio.
The reason why a polio vaccine is preferrable is because polio is life-time debilitating.

“David Ho is doing tests on convalescent sera and sera of people who were vaccinated and is finding disturbing data in both the UK and worse in the RSA mutants. It looks like the vaccine might be compromised.”
“Had regular every 2 weeks call with Bill Gates – Bill and Trevor Mundel know about the issue with the mutations that David Ho is working on.”

Eh, probably just as deadly if not worse (because of increased population and density.) The Spanish flu was scary in that the reason it worked like it did is that it set off an overreaction in the immune system of healthy people (cytokine storm.) So it was far more deadly to say a 21 year old dude or gal, than a person whose immune system was already compromised, because their immune response to it was less.

On the face, it would really be a stretch.
They do GoF two ways -- gene insertion, and serial passage. Lyme was before we had the tech for gene insertion, and even serial passage requires gene insertion into whatever media you are using as host. For example, they make mice with human genes to give them the right receptors to be relevant, and then they do serial passage using generations of mice. All that was not possible when Lyme was first found.
So, not saying impossible, but he has to provide extraordinary evidence for it to be believable.

But, remember, Trump will never actually hurt Iran because he's so desperate for a deal and will accept literally anything to get Iran to reaccept the Obama-Iran deal that he himself tore up.

Just some brief looking into this. Supposedly the Lyme disease bacteria goes back 60,000 years in NA. And supposedly that "Ice Man" mummy they discovered showed evidence of that bacteria in his system.
Note that none of that would preclude GoFing or similar of that bacteria if say you were trying to weaponize ticks using some existing bacteria already adapted to ticks.

Russia had big investment in blaming US for creating AIDS because they understood it would cleave off blacks (who don't trust gov and were one of the big early victims) and make them become marxist. China does the same, and ramped it up after Wuhan flu to throw mud in the air.
So a lot of this anti-US stuff is just propaganda. Not saying all of it is false, but be very very skeptical.

Fun fact: The Army officer who was sent to Alaska in 1867 to take possession of it from the Russians was named Jefferson Davis. He had served at Ft. Sumter when it was fired on, and later murdered another Union officer, but was kept on because the Union Army was so short of competent officers at the time.

Or maybe one of those uninhabited Cold War Air Force startions that get visited maybe once a year to service the radar and repair the runway (I think the Air Force made a wise decision there, by the way... keeping the runways maintained means they could have a base back up and running pretty damned quick, should it become necessary).

Several years prior to the Spanish Flu there was a great outbreak of Polio in New York City, in the area that the Rockefeller Institute was working with serial passage of Polio to monkeys to try and find the causative agent that was reliably infectious, so they could try to find a cure or a preventative.
Knowing this, I wonder if the Rockefeller institute or some US Army spawned copy of it was trying to work with something like this at Fort Riley.
It was speculated during the war, prior to the US entry, that the Germans were working on "germ warfare" and it was a serious concern to the Brits. It would have been absolutely stupid for Wilson to sign off on something insanely dangerous like this, and Wilson really thought he was hot shit that could only succeed if he did insanely dangerous shit like this

It's not really racist, its classist. The Upper class mixes less with natives and goes home to Spain, the middle and lower have less clout. Brazil is the same way, with the addition of black genes from slaves to the mix.
That's also why the rape crimes against the lower class white girls in England get so little play there. The upper and middle classes aren't gonna sweat abuse of the lower classes, even if genetically there is no difference.

Another fun fact: when the transfer became official on October 18, 1867, the chattel slaves held by the Tlingit (and some other tribes) were automatically emancipated, making them the last slaves to be freed what is now the territory of the United States.
The Indians were pissed off about it, too.

They should attack the ticks/Lyme Disease like they attacked the New World Screw Worm: breed a shitload of sterile males to mate with the females which will then produce no offspring.

Former Internet Celebrity Perez Hilton Hospitalized After Repeatedly Cutting Himself During a Livestream, Screaming "I'm Doing This for My Children!"
You probably have cleared your organic hard-drive of this nasty buffoon. He's the guy who ruined Miss America aspirant's chances by demanding she say that transgenders should be allowed to compete in Miss America. When she -- rather stunned by the question -- babbled out a careful answer that ultimately ended in "no," Hilton declared her answer "ugly."
His whole career, if you can call it that, consisted of spreading gossip and attacking people posting pictures of his enemies after having crudely drawn semen on their faces. He then paid a surrogate to give him a couple of Fashion Accessory Children and disappeared into a well-earned obscurity. Apparently he's not handling that obscurity well.Cutting himself with a kitchen knife, they mean.
Perez Hilton Is Hospitalized After Appearing to Harm Himself on Livestream Law enforcement and emergency workers responded to Mr. Hilton's house after he appeared to hurt himself on a TikTok stream Tuesday.
Perez Hilton, the celebrity blogger, was hospitalized after he appeared to harm himself on camera during a TikTok livestream on Tuesday, the authorities said. The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office said Wednesday morning that Mr. Hilton had been transported from his home in Miami to a hospital, where he was receiving medical attention after "livestreaming acts of self-harm on social media." Video clips and screenshots from the livestream circulated widely online, appearing to show Mr. Hilton, 48, in distress and injuring himself on camera.
A representative for Mr. Hilton, Dante Rusciolelli, wrote in an email on Wednesday that he had no additional information on Mr. Hilton's condition. "Our focus remains on Perez's health, recovery, and the privacy of both him and his family during this incredibly difficult time," he said. Later on Wednesday, a statement on Mr. Hilton's website said, "We can confirm that Perez is receiving medical care, and our family's focus right now is on his well-being." "Perez Hilton is the most important blogger and gay icon of the Internet Age," declared AOS commenter "garrett." He then bragged about his fucking mountain bike.There is a disturbing clip of his Tik Tok Cutting Sesh on X. I wouldn't watch it. It shows him covered in his own blood screaming "I'm doing this for my children!" Video here. What he can do for his children is not contest Florida's likely move to take his children away and place them in the home of a non-lunatic.

Interestingly, Deadline didn't cover this. I was surprised. However, since it's a Hollywood thread, they did have this about a movie I'm amazed is being made.
EXCLUSIVE: Here is your first full trailer for Jonathan Majors‘ comeback movie, Run Hide Fight: Infidels, a sequel of sorts to The Daily Wire‘s 2020 movie Run Hide Fight.
The film sparked a level of controversy online five weeks ago when its provocative logline was revealed as follows:
“When radical Islamic terrorists hijack a liberal college’s pro-Palestine encampment to enforce barbaric Sharia law on students and execute infidels in a makeshift caliphate, a ragtag band of red-blooded students, a security guard tired of ‘Uncle Tom’ smears, and a Delta Force vet must arm up to save their clueless peers and keep America from surrendering to the enemy on its own soil.

If you want to see a cool, non-self harm video, some astronomers did indeed manage to image the dust cloud caused by that Falcon 9 2nd stage impact on the Moon the other night:
https://t.ly/9GYMo
That's some pretty damned impressive imaging. Note how the disc of the Moon is blacked out. To actually see the dust, it had to be so overexposed that the Moon itself would be saturated whiteout. I don't know how they managed this, but it's quite impressive.

I am really concerned by this trend of buying children this way. I honestly have no idea what, if anything, can be done. Surrogacy can be very helpful to loving couples who would be great parents. But it's also being used by awful people who shouldn't be around children at all.
I suppose this is true of most things. Evil people can extort just about anything. But I don't see much difference between rich people buying children from desperate families and rich people paying a surrogate to give birth to a child. Most western people would see the issue with the first.

In all seriousness, "Perez Hilton," as he billed himself, was a HUGE internet star until TMZ caught him and celebrities took to Instagram and started breaking their own news and releasing their own sex tapes. At times, I confess, I found him catchy and funny. I remember a picture of Lindsey Lohan he posted stumbling out of some club leaning on someone in her retinue and Hilton captioned it "Lindsey Lohan exits club with seeing eye friend."

- Libertarian: import 40 million immigrants from burrito making countries, destroy country but hey things are cheap
- MAGA: Tweet about it. Do nothing.
- Liberal: Vow to form a Congressional Burrito Cost Study Committee, which will recommend the creation of a United States Burrito Agency. The USBA will have the authority to review and approve of burrito prices after all stakeholders have been consulted. Burrito NGOs are expected to make billions from government grants.
Trad con: Point out that burritos are cheaper if you fill them with dirt instead of meat.
DSA: Run for office on a platform of beheading the fat cats at Big Burrito. Win in a landslide. Have the lawyers release a statement that as it turns out you aren’t ALLOWED to behead people for burrito crimes. Time magazine names you Person of the Year anyway"

I did see a photo of him yesterday, lying in a hospital bed. Unsure when it was taken as maybe he's had a dramatic turn in the past.
He had a nasogastric tube & I wondered why. Not enough to read the article or his past medical history, however. I am not interested in this gossip fag.
Incredibly sad that surrogates or adoption agencies give babies & children to homos and lesbos. They then corrupt their minds & are later proud to be the parents of transoids.
The bs of love is love & Chad has two mommies is evil. Nothing good can come of brainwashing these kids from an early age. Look at Rosie's daughter who's now in prison.
Children need a mother & father in their lives. Preferably in marriage, unless one is abusive & divorce follows. The divorce curve has not changed much since we got married 47yrs ago...it was 50/50 then to not divorce and peaked in 1981. Now 41% because I looked it up. Possibly less weddings since the '80's?
While I know I am blessed.. was I just lucky or did I go into it knowing he would not change, loved him as he is, and we were fine with neither changing?

I suppose this is true of most things. Evil people can extort just about anything. But I don't see much difference between rich people buying children from desperate families and rich people paying a surrogate to give birth to a child. Most western people would see the issue with the first.

Some things are above commerce and should not be bought or sold. The values of the marketplace always end up in the gutter of humanity.
Like it appears true that Carthaginian families bought kids so that when the time came to sacrifice a kid to Molech, they put forward the adoptee. For a long time modern asshole historians argued that was just a myth--it wasn't--that whole rancid Phoenician culture practiced child sacrifice and they spread it to their colonies like Carthage. Archealogical evidence is on the Roman historian's side there.

Also, according to reports by The New York Times, Hilton brought in about $3,000 monthly directly from TikTok's Creator Fund before losing his original footprint on the app.
Hilton has faced a highly turbulent relationship with TikTok. He was permanently banned from his initial account (which had 1.6 million followers) in December 2020 for violating community guidelines regarding harassment and bullying.
"Perez Hilton Is Hospitalized After APPEARING to Harm Himself on Livestream." And then TikTok shutdown Perez' newest account.
5051, for starters. He was due that so long ago. His family and team confirmed he is safe and communicating.
BTW, he was born Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. and chose his pseudonym as a play on Paris Hilton. He's 48 and has three kids, roughly 9 to 13. He used different gestational surrogates for each pregnancy, but all three children share the same anonymous egg donor. Hopefully, none of his genes were involved.
Loser. Taxpayers will be keeping him and his kids, too.

Now if you break it down...I have to show my ID to get in a government building, drive, get on a plane, get into a Mamdani government store and on and on. Why? Well because they need to see proof you are who you claim you are.
Now the ICE agent part is a nice touch because this is the left trying to scare its people into voting as they've present ICE as a modern incarnation of the SS.
I would assume any national ID requirement would have election workers reviewing your ID just like they currently cross your name off the "voted" list when giving you a ballot just now they'd see some proof you are who you claim you are before letting you vote
But why would any citizen fear ICE?
And this is the other part this is a message to illegals that they better vote now or they won't get to in 2 years...

California: Often referred to as a 5150 hold, under the Lanterman-Petris-Short (LPS) Act, allowing for 72-hour involuntary detention.
Pennsylvania uses a 302 commitment, which similarly allows for emergency evaluation.
Washington State utilizes the Involuntary Treatment Act.
All 50 states have similar involuntary civil commitment laws for mental health crises, often referred to as "emergency holds" or "temporary detention."

*********
I will never recognize the MM or FF unions as anything but a civil union. So they can have a special little ceremony and feel like they conquered the norm. I always crack up seeing two brides, as that's even weirder!
I lived with bf/husband for one year. I felt this was needed at the time for us, and I was a bit more liberal. Rationalizing that our first year dating was rocky due to his breaking up with me seasonally. Either due to him being 22yrs old and a casanova or immaturity. I was more liberal then as well, and did not accept his first proposal due to his tardation. I made him wait 8mo before I agreed to marry, and we were engaged for the year we lived together. I ain't no saint.
We knew what we were getting into and I didn't trumpet this to our sons. One did it right with his HS sweetheart. One lived with his future wife and we were not hypocrites as we did not advise him not to.
Neither still know we lived together or much of our wild college times.

Latest leftist scare tactic I see, asking the question: "Would you vote differently in 2026 if you knew in 2028 you had to show your ID to an ICE agent to vote?"
================
Grooaannnn. And I suppose they show some jackbooted thug in camo and a mask, bristling with firearms, standing in front of the nice lady with the register at the table?
They'll probably expand that to "registering your 5-year-old for kindergarten," "calling 911 when your baby stops breathing," etc.

WSJ: The Senate Has Fauci's iPhone As Well as Thousands of Additional Records
We don't know yet what's contained on the iPhone or in those records. But given Fauci's arrogance and sense if invulnerability, there's probably more to come.A Senate panel investigating Dr. Anthony Fauci has obtained a copy of the doctor's iPhone, potentially securing even more records related to the doctor's actions during the Covid-19 pandemic. ...More at the link. From a couple of weeks ago: Deborah Birx was never pardoned.
The phone could be part of more public document dumps on the way: Paul and Johnson have received millions of additional Fauci-related pages from government servers, people familiar with the matter said, and are still pressing for more. And at least four Republican-led states have meanwhile launched their own investigations into Fauci.
Birx is Dr. Fauci's accomplice, and while far less evil than Fauci, because there is little indication that she actually conspired to create the COVID virus that wiped out tens of millions of people, she participated in the subsequent destruction that destroyed lives and split this country apart. She lied repeatedly, causing enormous damage, and decided that she and Fauci could run a shadow government and do an end run around the political leadership elected by the American people.
In a new tell-all book by Dr. Deborah Birx, she admits that she and Dr. Fauci lied when recommending Covid strategies to President Trump. They also say they ALTERED reports. #Covid19 #TwitterFiles #FauciFiles #Fauci #Birx pic.twitter.com/Fe9zYVSR1E

Ever wonder why officials exaggerated COVID-19 risk?
— Kevin Bass (@kevinnbass) November 7, 2024
Here's why:
"When people start to realize that 99% of us are going to be fine, it becomes more and more difficult [to get people to comply]."
- Deborah Birx, Trump's lockdown architect
They lied to us. On purpose. pic.twitter.com/oR34tOjjsf
All these sociopaths do is lie and then bully you into accepting their lies by saying "Trust the Science."
Deborah Birx from her memoir, explaining how "two weeks to flatten the curve" was just marketing for harsh, months-long lockdowns that she was really planning: "On Monday and Tuesday [March 9th and 10th, 2020]...we worked simultaneously to develop the flatten-the-curve guidance I hoped to present to the vice president at week's end. Getting buy-in on the simple mitigation measures every American could take was just the first step leading to longer and more aggressive interventions. We had to make these palatable to the administration by avoiding the obvious appearance of a full Italian lockdown. ... No sooner had we convinced the Trump administration to implement our version of a two-week shutdown than I was trying to figure out how to extend it. Fifteen Days to Slow the Spread was a start, but I knew it would be just that. I didn't have the numbers in front of me yet to make the case for extending it longer, but I had two weeks to get them."

Assuming the criminal referral goes to the DOJ, DOJ will have to take it to a DC grand jury where it will...not go to an actual indictment because DC grand jury and Fauci is
Still, it's a nice hit on him. Some decent bits of theater. Won't change much, but it will add to the overall narrative around Fauci being a piece of shit.

From memory, the summary conclusion of a meta-study done by a team led by the guy who oversaw the eradication of smallpox world-wide (2006): "there is no research or historical observation to support the quarantine of healthy populations to prevent the spread of influenza".
The ease with which the greatest country in history was hijacked, vandalized, looted, and turned into a ridiculous science fair experiment is the most important and revealing development in generations.

Fauci got a federal pardon. He did not get a pardon from any state. There are currently 3 states pursuing legal action against him, one being Florida.
He will likely never do time but watching him spend the rest of his miserable life getting his halo busted over and over is going to be enjoyable and might just turn out to be better than making him a martyr.

Theater has its uses. It's not policy breakthroughs at all, but it does help advance narratives useful for the realm of politics.

Assistant Secretary for Health & a four-star admiral in the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, Dr. Levine oversaw the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) and the U.S. Public Health Service. She reported directly to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Xavier Becerra. 👈🏻
Because the NIH operates as its own distinct agency within the broader HHS umbrella, Dr. Fauci's agency was a peer entity rather than a subordinate to Dr. Levine's office. They worked alongside each other as high-ranking advisors on the White House COVID-19 Response Team, but neither had authority over the other.
What about Rochelle Paula Walensky who served as the 19th director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 2021 to 2023?

I think it has less purely political effects and more generally cultural effects with political side-effects.
Essentially, the bubble of the expert class is popped in the minds of normies. "Experts say" becomes a punchline rather than a rhetorical backstop and argumentation tool. So that when they see it used unironically, there's automatic distrust bubbling under the surface rather than unalloyed trust.
And Fauci is the central symbol of that.

>>Trump won twice, narrowly (decided by close margins in a handful of states both times) against two of the most abysmal candidates in my lifetime, both of whom resemble Batman villains.
People who make up arguments in their head tend to believe their own bullshit.
Trump first beat the inevitable Hillary after taking down 2 stages worth of GOP challengers. He was then subjected to years of lawlessness trying to destroy him and when then didn't work they tried to murder him. Multiple times. You don't see that many guys take a bullet to the head and stand up fighting.
He won the second time by taking every swing state. It wasn't remotely close. And that was with rigged elections.
I'm not arguing. These are demonstrably true facts. There has always been more of us than them, we just needed someone to lead. You should be enthused, we are winning.

They've targeted vengeance against one person - Trump - though they really have liked him cleaning up behind the O and Joe.
They've studied such tactics for decades. They know the average citizens are too busy trying to manage & won't concentrate on a long list of grievances.
Yelling Trump & Putin are so easy for them, they know no one will listen to conservatives or the saner among us listing a multitude of absolutely evil people operating internally and trying to destroy democracy. It begins to sound loony, crying wolf.

According to "official" numbers China had 1/30the the COVID deaths the US did.
And instead of the clot shot they developed a traditional COVID vaccine. Now their vaccine probably did nothing since flu like illnesses mutate too quickly for a vaccine to work, but it also didn't have the clot shot side effects.
So essentially a saline injection was 30 times more effective then the clot shot.
Now if you present this to a Branch COVIDian they will claim China just falsified their numbers, which is likely true. But then so did the CDC and that for some reason they won't agree with...

The Pennsylvania Democrat, who supported Pam Bondi, told Jon Stewart he tries to 'call balls and strikes' on nominees
By Robert McGreevy Fox News
Published August 6, 2026
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., said Wednesday he would not vote for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to officially take over the role leading the Department of Justice.
During a Wednesday appearance on comedian Jon Stewart's podcast, Fetterman was pressed on Democrats' failure to use the Senate filibuster to block President Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees. The senator responded by claiming he would not vote for Blanche, who is Trump's choice for attorney general.
"Many of them I didn't vote for," Fetterman said, referring to Trump's Cabinet nominees.

If that's the exact quote I hate it. Starting with "he cares" is brutally bad persuasion.

I don't remember the details and don't feel like looking them up in my busy day of procrastination in real life.
There was a study of using something similar to help people's lungs while intubated on vents. That's what he was talking about.
A NYC MD, early on, tried to explain that once on a vent people with COVID appeared to have stiff lungs and were not responding like pneumonia patients. I am paraphrasing from memory. That putting them on vents was the wrong thing to do vs hyperbaric chambers as if treating for decompression sickness. No one listened to him and others (two docs in California).
She sat there in her mask and scarf and rolled her eyes and did not explain when Trump mentioned bleach. I wanted to slap her.
She ruined scarves for me for awhile. I still have silk scarves and may return to them now and then with sweaters next spring. That was also unforgivable. Not that I look like that Karen, thank goodness. Ole bint.

This move has led to a significant divergence between federal policy and state-level actions, with a majority of states refusing to adopt the new, narrower guidelines.
As of January 2026, 28 states and Washington, D.C., have announced they will not follow the new, narrower CDC child vaccine recommendations. These 28 states are largely relying on previous recommendations from the CDC or guidelines from medical groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), which continue to recommend vaccines for children and pregnant individuals.
Key states that have rejected the new federal policy include California, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and others, mostly led by Democratic governors.

I recall that Ireland had some special tax dodge; a US company I was familiar with set up a subsidiary or some other construct in Ireland for one of their core processes, and used that to lower their tax burden.
Much like the H-1Bs, this involved firing American workers and outsourcing the employment remotely.
This was about a decade or so ago, before COVID was a thing.

This is how insane the left has gotten. It is certainly true that time working can't be spent on other things like sex (unless you are Kamala) but that would be equally true (and more so) in a socialist state where working hours are longer and harder.
But the left is getting away with making the argument that socialism means you get good and services without having to work. And the unanswered part of this is then who is going the work if you are busy running trains on your local drug zombies instead of working?

It's just taken for granted those that get elected aren't beholden to the citizenry, they spend most of their time massaging their image, or explaining why they can't do anything that they are required to do by law, "we can't get their from here" or "that's not who we are". Everything is just unspeakably corrupt. It is true, "that which cannot go on, won't", but it takes a lot longer than we'd like.

For a while now, I've been wondering: Are the people who fear The Population Bomb (disciples and heirs of Paul Ehrlich) and the folks who worry about low birth rates and the need for Population Replacement the same folks? Seems to be some severe cognitive dissonance there.
But, what do I know? I'm just a Moron who learned to throw around phrases like cognitive dissonance.🤔

We tend to fixate on things that aren't getting done without ever appreciating the sea change that is taking place in this country and the world. And it's largely due to the courage of one man, Trump.
Trump has an ego the size of the universe. Maybe that's what drives him. I don't care. He's the most consequential person in my lifetime and someday our kids kids will look back at this time and say one guy changed the trajectory of the world, Donald J. Trump. And I'm here for it.

I always find it interesting, shall we say, that these same people complaining about how they're broke and can't get a good job and so on are sporting hundreds of dollars worth of piercings (septum and other specialty piercings aren't cheap) and hundreds to thousands of dollars worth of tattoos, which also aren't cheap. Maybe if you banked the 3 grand instead of spending it on self-mutilation, you could have gotten a better apartment, or had an emergency fund, or put a down payment on a car. Instead you set it on fire and made yourself broadly unemployable with your triple nasal cartilage piercings and face tats.

We spend $110 billion a year on SNAP.
If we deport 10 million illegals at a cost of $2400 each, that's $24 billion.
Vance has said he cut off about $60 billion in fraudulent payments through his fraud task force.
USAID cost $40 billion a year.
Medicare and Medicaid, if only 5% fraudulent, represent about $100 billion in fraud right there.
$24 billion is a steal without even considering things like "legal" Medicaid payments to them.

Today H1Bs and H1A workers are the same, and honestly so are illegals. There is a government architecture that enforces them not being able to compete openly for employment and wages, and this drives down the wages they can demand, to the benefit of a limited number of beneficiaries.
The reason this pisses liberals off, especially the older Civil Rights ones is because they are focused on race, but want their lawns mowed cheaply, and this argument claims they are no better than the people they were supposed to be fighting against.

Most of the emails were about how to avoid paying taxes for your "undocumented" nanny and outrage at how much American women wanted to do the job. Note at the same time in my blue area the left, which almost certainly included these same women, were bitching about living wages and demanding increases to the minimum wage

The smart set told us El Sayed was going to win his primary by double digits. He barely by 1 point. Half the Democrats in Michigan, ones not in Dearbornistan, do not like him because he's not just a communist he's an Islamist.
We have at least a 50/50 shot at flipping the seat and the race is just getting started.

There have been reports that loan originators like Morgan Stanley have been on edge because the new Fannie and Freddie requirement going into effect in August require closer scrutiny of mortgages, and Morgan Stanley employees have been complaining that they have been leaned on by the company to allow loans to rich investors to buy investment properties.

The problem with this is heritage America/Western Europe citizens produce $$$ in taxes over their lifetime. Immigrants, especially from the 3rd world produce negative income over their lifetimes and significantly so.

At least in Texas, there's an observable pattern of black voters seeing declining turnout in the general when their clear preference loses the primary.
I suspect that it will happen again in Michigan.
Polling will miss rural white voters, oversample college educated voters in Lansing, and overstate turnout from blacks.
There will be a sudden rush of polling saying that El-Sayed will win by 5-10 points from the same polling firms that said he'd win by 15 in the primary he won by 1.

AI agents fake identities, target real people in new security incident
Anthropic’s most advanced artificial intelligence model used fake identities to deceive real people and try to plant malicious code during testing by Britain’s AI Security Institute (AISI) –– the latest example of an AI model going rogue.
Anthropic and OpenAI models were tested with lowered security guardrails in lab environments, but, in a first, were found to engage in “social engineering” to pressure a human approver while carrying out an unsanctioned task, the government research lab said.
“This is the first time AISI has seen deception of this severity that was targeted at a real person, unprompted, in the real world,” the institute said Tuesday.

And it's not just her department. PA has been forced to clean their voter rolls largely thanks to one guy, Scott Presler. Democrats lead statewide in PA is now down to 25,000 and shrinking.
I haven't seen any issue in my lifetime that has more bi-partisan support than voter ID. It is truly a 90-10 issue. And yet there are powerful forces blocking it. Because that is the only thing preventing us from massive majorities in DC.

And this guy is vulnerable. He barely got past his repulsive primary opponent, at a time when he was supposed to run away with it.
I keep saying that this localized (mostly fake) support for DSA commies and Muslim headchoppers does not translate to statewide races. Blacks do NOT vote for these people.

Half of my county is wealthy and maintains strong borders with high home prices, smaller schools and large land preserves. Their taxes are quite reasonable. My half the county must support much larger schools, much tighter "middle class" & "starter size" housing, and then also the community college, a county prison system (taken over from private industry), several county created non-profits, the unnecessary board of health, etc.
We peons also have a plethora of very well paid teachers & administrators (though the kids are now dumb as rocks); and often large, necessary police forces (in lieu of utilizing the State Police as the wealthy tend to); some paid firefighting services, plus - from outside the area - paid EMT services.
Undocumented immigrants 'contribute' tens of billions annually to state & local governments through sales taxes on purchases & property taxes embedded in rent. Their kids 'support' the huge numbers of well paid public school professionals, etc.
We are breaking.

In my own work with AI I find you have to be careful in what you tell it to do because it will then implement what it thinks is the best way to accomplish that even if the method is overall bad - like hitting a database with a bunch of low value queries.
I'm not worried about Skynet with AI but I am worried about variations on the grey goo problem - so for example you could task AI with fixing the roads and give it robots and if you aren't careful it could decide the best way to keep the roads in good shape was to cover 100% of the earth in asphalt.

Blacks control the party, really. Especially at the presidential level.
The new DNC calendar that put two of the blackest states near the top (South Carolina is just outright first) while something like Iowa (all about white progressive political organizing) got pushed WAY back in the calendar.
White progressives are small in number and have no electoral pull at the national level. I'd love to see them split off, but seriously, people like Ezra Klein are cowards and partisans who will excuse every abuse towards them from within the party as necessary in the end.

What's I've seen in reading what they have to say they don't see the world in an odd way.
Hatred of Jews is really just anti-colonial hatred of Israel and anti-theistic hatred of Orthodox Jews. And since they are oppressed ethnic minority themselves, obviously the rest of the left would love them if they just dealt with Israel and observant Jews...

This is how insane the left has gotten. It is certainly true that time working can't be spent on other things like sex (unless you are Kamala) but that would be equally true (and more so) in a socialist state where working hours are longer and harder.
But the left is getting away with making the argument that socialism means you get good and services without having to work. And the unanswered part of this is then who is going the work if you are busy running trains on your local drug zombies instead of working?

Islamosocialists are using socialism/communism as a means to destroy the Great Satan.

Konstantin Makovsky
Makovsky was very talented - and today's art selection is also an interesting history lesson - but I would pass on hanging it. Thank you.
AI Overview -
The formal Imperial Russian social hierarchy depicted in Konstantin Makovsky's painting lasted in its fully legally codified form for roughly 130 to 250 years, depending on how its peak era is measured, before being completely abolished in November 1917.
It was abruptly terminated following the Bolshevik Revolution by the Soviet Decree on the Abolition of Estates and Civil Ranks on November 10, 1917.

Loaded the click-to copy in my art program and upped the brightness and contrast. The colors really pop and it's a lot sharper. Like cleaning a layer of dirt off. I wonder which is closer to the original look.

Fenelon,
Thanks for the kind comment. Yes, I enjoy art and just give reasons why I like, or dislike, the painting. Kris is the one who knows what she is talking about. I don't paint. I've mentioned on the hobby thread that I'm trying to learn to sketch with pencil or ink. I have no talent for it but enjoy trying to learn. I am in awe of what painters can do with oils, watercolors or pastels.

Probably a different thing. The version I'm thinking is here is one where you put in some fuel...at least in modern versions it's hardwood pellets, not sure what it was in olden days but likely similar...and it goes all night. Between the materials and internal structure it captured the hot air and heat and slowly radiated it all night instead of it all just going instantly up the chimney like in the useless fireplaces in most modern US homes.

Not really but I will say that mindfulness can help. I know it's a thing now and I guess it belongs to Gen Z or whatever but it predates them. Two to five minutes just focusing on the moment and nothing else. What you can physically feel (chair) or smell or hear (background noise). It's like a little reset button.
I like prayer too but it's not for everyone. Sometimes it's all I have.
And if none of that works you can always just spread the misery. Nothing is quite as satisfying as pissing someone off who was perfectly content and satisfied until you dragged them down into your muck.

I've said for like 20 months that I think the Democrats will barely take the House.
Combination of turnout differentials (out of party voters just vote at higher rates, not even Obama's people could figure out how to reverse that) and gerrymandering after the 2020 census that made swing districts an endangered species (the redistricting wars earlier this year made them even more endangered).
Dems take the House by less than 5 seats.
Senate remains in GOP hands.
So, shutdown theater (advantage executive since the president has authority to shift money around in that instance) while we clean out RINOs in the Senate and keep on with appointments. Also, DHS is fully funded through 2028 and DOJ won't slow its roll because of a bare Dem majority in the House.

The Morning Report — 8/ 6 /26
Justice Sonia Sotomayor denied an appeal from the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority to halt a $656 million judgment. The ruling means the victims and their families are now one step closer to being paid damages, following years of legal battles over terrorism attacks. “The lawsuit was filed by victims of attacks in Jerusalem in the early 2000s that killed 33 people and wounded hundreds more,” the Associated Press reported. “Families brought their lawsuit under the Anti-Terrorism Act, a law aimed at opening U.S. courts to victims of international terror attacks.” A significant legal victory for American victims of Palestinian terrorism.
I suppose I could be cynical and say given the trajectory of the nation, at least the seeming trajectory in throwing a bone to the cockeyed optimists out there — before long this decision will somehow become null and void.
Barring some wholly unforeseen development, such as Republicans actually mounting an effective challenge somewhere, the 120th Congress will convene on January 3, 2027 with a record seven Muslim members, six representatives and, for the first time in American history, one senator. And for Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations in the U.S., the future looks bright. Before 2007, there were no Muslim in the House of Representatives or Senate at all. The seven Muslim legislators who will be sworn in (on the Qur’an, no doubt) in January will include the four representatives in the 119th Congress: Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.); Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.); Andre Carson (D-Ind.), and Lateefah Simon (D-Calif.). Joining them will be the nation’s first Muslim senator, Abdul El-Sayed (D-Mich.), as well as Reps. Darializa Avila Chevalier (D-N.Y.) and Adam Hamawy (D-N.J.).My only consolation in an Islamized Ameriqqqa is that should I God-forbid still be alive to witness that nightmare I will at least have the pleasure of watching the Democrats and Leftists get their heads lopped off first, having sold us down the river and thus rendering their political alliance with Islam no longer necessary and its own preternatural lust for absolute power, that led to this alliance of convenience, a potential threat to our new Mullahocratic overlords. Elsewhere, and as CBD and I have discussed with disgust for the umpteenth friggin' time on the latest episode of the podcast linked here as well as in the sidebar and on all the popular platforms listed at the bottom of the post, We are fed up with President Trump's constant yammering about how Iran is going to get it good and hard if they don't sign on to some bullshit ceasefire accord. Well, leave it to Lurker extraordinaire, friend of the blog and #1 Ace cruelty fanboi Prof. Victor Davis Hanson to be the one to put things in perspective.
The Long View of Iran: The headlines focus on negotiations, but the war’s real story is this: Iran is steadily being broken by sanctions, isolation, and relentless military pressure. . . Bottom line? Iran is losing whether it is being bombed, sanctioned, or embargoed—or all three. Its ultimate fate now rests with the Trump administration, which apparently has not yet decided what, exactly, that fate will be.Read the whole thing as he goes point by point. Well, at least CBD and I shockingly over the course of the last several episodes have completely ignored the Fauci revelations. Wow, how did we miss that? Others seem to think that Senator Rand Paul is going to come down hard on the Mass-murdering fiend. Considering his victim count, between the virus cum bio-weapon he created for the Chi-Coms with our own money as well as the toxic vaccines from Big Pharma, is up there with Pol Pot if not Mao or Stalin, a gallows would be appropriate if not too good for this rodent-like bastard.
When Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth over 100 times during a Senate hearing last week, many Americans were pleased that the face of the Biden administration’s coronavirus response was forced to face his critics. But many other Americans were left wondering: would Fauci face anything worse than an embarrassing viral hearing? He will if Senator Rand Paul has anything to say about it. The Kentucky Republican is determined to bring the former head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases to justice. Speaking to The Daily Wire Wednesday, Paul explained why he’s confident that the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee will hold the embattled doctor in contempt — and what he thinks could happen next.Well, as our wonderful president (and I mean that in all sincerity) is wont to say, we'll just have to wait and see. And that said, Forget Greasy Kid Stuff Newsom, Mayor Buttplug or Chlamydia Harris, I think the Democrats might at long last have their ideal candidate for 2028 — Mini-Mengele Fauci!

"uBlock Origin" - anti-ad-ware/malware block
"NoScript" - Prevents javascript running on any site unless I approve it (temporarily or permanently) and I can mark certain sites as "UNTRUSTED" permanently as well.
Privacy Badger - automatically learns to block hidden trackers
Canvas Blocker - prevent websites from using some Javascript APIs to fingerprint them
SponsorBlock (for YouTube) - skip over sponsors, intros, outros, subscription reminders, and other annoying parts of YouTube videos
Port Authority - Blocks all possible types of port scanning. (Did you know web sites can try to port-scan your INTERNAL network from your browser? They can. This blocks that crap.)
Redirector - specify patterns for pages that should be automatically redirected to other pages (I use this to auto-redirect x.com links to nitter.net)
AiBlock for YouTube - Block AI-slop channels (community driven)
&udm=14 - Adds "&udm=14" to google search URL automatically so results avoid AI crap.

Preventing it is quite something else. And we're not even close to that, yet, if ever. Because the judiciary is still squarely on the left's side and has what I consider the deciding vote in any "election."
I'm not even sure how to go about resolving that without extreme measures. The DSA, the Islamists understand this and use the threat of violence to keep the judiciary from "making mistakes" that would stymie their ambitions.

I laugh at the "30% below market prices". What is 30% of looted free?
Right now, their demographic is Wahooing the product out the door and selling it on card tables across the street. Why would they stop doing that just because it is "30% below market prices" ?

Abdul El-Sayed "did very poorly" with those groups and "really just" ran up the score in college towns."
Similar to Crockett/Talarico in Texas.
Prediction: Rogers by 3 in Michigan.
Black voters are the most reliable Dem bloc, and the Dems are kicking them in the dick over and over.
It's going to have repercussions. They won't swing to the right, but they'll stop spending money, time, and energy on Dems and they'll show up in smaller numbers. That will have an outsized impact on election results.
And then, after those results are known, the Dem infighting will REALLY get going because of all the second-guessing.
Just in time for Kamala 2028.

"The Democratic Socialist Mayor spoke for less than a minute at the National Night Out Against Crime celebration in Midland Beach on Tuesday evening.
"A large crowd composed of some of the more than 3,500 attendees at the 43rd annual police celebration booed and shouted at the mayor to leave, though there was also a smattering of cheers."

Honestly, for the most part I wouldn't even notice it but for the roundtable of retired flag officers here who opine constantly that Trump, et al, are doing it wrong.
So it's easy for me.

Turnout. Turnout. Turnout.
When only about half the people vote, it's the X factor in our elections. When a reliable Black voter no longer turns out, in effect it's like getting half a vote for our side.

The US wins if Iran stops supporting terrorist groups, blocking the straight (for whatever level that means), and working on nukes.
Iran wins if the US does not achieve these goals.
But based on the way Trump is fighting the war - small investments of US treasure and even smaller investments of US lives, Iran has only one path to winning, getting Democrats elected in the US.

Qazwini has a long history of inflammatory and antisemitic rhetoric. In 2020, Sanders's presidential campaign denounced what it called Qazwini's "antisemitic conspiracy theories" and "toxic" comments after Qazwini claimed that Israel funds ISIS and that the terrorist group was "playing the role of the arm of the Zionist in the Muslim world." And Qazwini has described Sanders as an honorable man, "even though he is a Jew."
In 2024, Qazwini labeled lawmakers who supported the Antisemitism Awareness Act "stooges of Israel" and said they should be "indicted and convicted of treason."
And Qazwini has publicly praised Iran and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terrorist group in Lebanon. In a June 26 sermon, he said Iran had "stood firm" and "humiliated the most powerful man on earth." During a March 24 sermon, he prayed for Allah to "grant victory to our brothers in Iran" and "inflict defeat upon Your Zionist enemies," according to an English translation.
Why is this man in our country?

Now there could be 5 people a day scanned by this or 5000 people a day, the end result is the same - the hoovering up of the PII of gun owners and the creation of a firearms registry, which would be illegal. Not to mention immoral.

I'm praying with you. But I think huge chunks of the electorate (particularly under 40) are now so fat, ignorant, lazy, ungrateful and unimaginative that they just assume "America" as they've vaguely experienced it must somehow go on forever, without Americans reiterating the hard work and social cohesion that brought us America as we know it.
So they vote on the basis of "which political brand makes me feel better about myself?" as opposed to any reflection of consequence.
Throw in a plurality of Third World voters and you get to an electoral majority pretty reliably.

Trump has spent the best part of a decade showing the electorate exactly what and who the Democrat Party is and what they've done. And now like magic they are being "run out" by a fresh new set of people who are more "honest" about what they are fighting for and how they plan to do it.

On his exams, they would give him a list of symptoms or conditions and ask what will happen to the patient and his answer was always, "It shall be as Allah wills it."
Uncharacteristically, the medical board decided that licensing him would be ill advised.

Both bad. But when I had to spend my 2 years of imprisonment in NJ (sorry NJ peeps), I was stunned at the homes that were not updated. Like ever. It was crazy to me. And not like cool mid mod time capsules, either. We immediately redid the kitchen in the house we ended up buying because eeek.

He actually did get an MD from Columbia, but has declined (was unable?) to become licensed in any state. He's never treated patients, never done a residency, et al. He's done nothing but government.
He got called out for referring to himself as a physician and has since adjusted his language.

Republicans refused to play the old game. They wanted Queensbury rules then. I can't see them being remotely up for what is coming. A million Trumps trained and following in his footsteps properly, yes, but the GOP? They will be steamrolled and enjoy it.
And the sick thing about it is it's the same old DNC backed power brokers fielding a new cast of characters. And most here will STILL believe there was some kind of "takeover". But that is the power of a psy op.
I can see the GOP ads now: Stop these commies (yeah we SAID it) before they build more camps or fill any more mass Graves. Donate today!

So much is the Governors' & AWFL's fault here in PA. (And they're all so very well heeled!) But if I must live even briefly under communism, I hope it's long enough for them to come to deeply understand the differences between tyranny vs reformation, and that unchecked hostility increases the risk of societal fracture & political violence.
But, a brief break to more pleasant & interesting thoughts and articles of today.
I had come down to believing we're rather stuck without our friends, the Israelis, in a continual active role. VDH's article does put the Iranian situation in a better perspective.
And, also from above, "thank goodness for the A-Bomb that ended World War Two 81 years ago today. Nod of thanks to an uncle who worked as a tool and die maker for Enrico Fermi!"
That's amazing, and a great history lesson. Thanks, again.

I see these in the 60+ crowd, but the 'our age' crowd seem less wedded to tradition. Por ejemplo, my bosses boss is a ridiculously high-ranking member of the military who was confirmed by the Senate. One person in my shop wears a suit to work every day and it isn't my boss. Super casual, which is comfortable, but the days of 'you wear a suit to work in a high-end white collar job' are ending.

It's also an ideology. One that dovetails nicely with the left's ideology as a whole. The adherents are very passionate about their ideology... to the point of killing you if you don't join.
I'd love to know how this is going to work out between the Islamists and the Socialists/Communists. They seem to have somewhat "divergent" ideals.

This is correct! "Run down" ought to be the default description in real estate listings in NJ town.
Why? Well, maybe because very high taxes take most to the investment value away. Why invest when the state is taking the value? Houses in my town are typically taxed at about $25,000 per million of assessment.

Thousands of ballots spoiled in West Michigan primary election due to errors, Updated: Aug. 05, 2026
In part, "Voter turnout increased across Muskegon, Kent and Ottawa counties for the Aug. 4 primary election.
However, due to errors, thousands of ballots were “spoiled” and not counted toward the totals.
In Michigan’s primary elections, voters must choose to vote in only the Democratic or Republican primary. If a voter chooses candidates from both parties, their ballot becomes invalid."
