Walzing Borders.jpg

Good morning kids. Well at long last the Labor Day weekend and the unofficial end of summer is here. Let's start off with arguably the most serious of domestic issues the disaster that has been the erased border and all of the troubles that it has engendered. First off is a story that many had thought might precipitate yet another trademark Democrat-induced/fomented summertime season of rioting, in an effort to boost Democrat voter enthusiasm, and power-grabbing.

Federal prosecutors have charged an ICE officer with lying to investigators about his shooting of a Venezuelan migrant in Minneapolis earlier this year, according to reports.
Christian Castro, 52, is charged with lying to federal agents about the January encounter in which he shot Julio Sosa-Celis in the leg. Making false statements to federal agents carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison, according to The Washington Post.
The federal charges come after Castro’s release from custody in Texas, where he had been arrested on Minnesota charges stemming from the shooting. His federal charges remain sealed, and he has not yet been taken into federal custody, according to the Post. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said during a May news conference that Castro fired toward a north Minneapolis home “with the intent to cause fear of immediate bodily harm or death to the four adults who were just inside the door.” The bullet struck Sosa-Celis in the leg before traveling through a closet and into the wall of a child’s bedroom, according to prosecutors.

Lest we forget that Minneapolis was the epicenter of the 2020 Summer of mostly peaceful rioting in the wake of the death of George Floyd who died while resisting arrest after ingesting his stash of narcotics to avoid a potential third strike and a long stretch in prison. It also resulted in the railroading of arresting officer Derek Chauvin who, at least in this instance was merely doing his duty as the suppressed and distorted coroner's report clearly indicated. But the racialist grievance monger Democrat-Leftists demanded their scapegoat and they got it.

That's why this whole thing with Officer Castro just completely reeks of the same kind of grandstanding as well as attempting to hold Texas and indeed the nation hostage just as the crucial midterm elections are heating up.

Hold those thoughts for a moment as we go from the border war skirmish between Minnesota and Texas all the way to of all places Connecticut for another twist on this whole issue which really is or has the potential to lead to societal dissolution.

The city council for Democrat-run Danbury, Connecticut, voted to allow non-citizen migrants to serve as city police officers. The vote was taken in retaliation after federal immigration forces had recently conducted raids in the town... He added, “It’s legal. It’s allowed. It’s been recommended. … I do think it’s timely, and this vote sends a message to our immigrant community that you are welcome in Danbury.” The town’s Mayor, Roberto Alves, heartily supported the policy change and noted that he was an illegal alien when he first came to the U.S. Alves blasted ICE late last month after immigration officers spent several days conducting enforcement actions in the city. And he accused ICE of sowing fear and making local businesses a “ghost town” in the wake of the raids.

This abject mutt piece of shit and everyone who thinks and acts like him is the reason our country is a red-nether hair's width from turning into a third world shithole banana republic. The denigration and disrespect for the rule of law as a result of the continued denigration of America, its history heritage and founding as illegitimate, racist and repressive against colored people of color. And so, with the actions of our phenomenal President in doing all he can to restore our borders as well as institute sane immigration policies that exclude scumbags and cancerous tumors like this degenerate mayor, naturally we're going to get the reactions we are seeing as illustrated by Danbury and every other Leftwing shithole city and state in the nation to disobey and demonize the rule of law.

Obviously, a massive influx of illegal alien third-world indigents benefits first and foremost the Democrat Left.

The race for control of the US Senate is a dead heat.Conventional wisdom suggests the contests in swingy states like Michigan, North Carolina and Georgia could prove decisive — and they might. But it’s possible that the fate of the chamber known as the “world’s greatest deliberative body” will come down to a state not usually considered all that swingy: Texas. I lived in Texas in 2018, when Lone Star Democrats similarly felt confident that then-Rep. Beto O’Rourke would defeat the incumbent GOP senator, Ted Cruz. That didn’t happen: In a similar tough midterm cycle during a Trump presidency, Cruz narrowly prevailed. But what if this time is different? Talarico might not win — in fact, I don’t think he will — but it’s crucial for Republicans to understand how to prevent a leftist, “Christian”-cosplaying caricature like James “the Annunciation justifies abortion” Talarico from getting a job promotion to Washington. Many polls in Texas tell a similar story: Paxton suffers from softer support within the GOP, whereas Democrats are more unified in their support for the joker who has called capitalism “oppressive,” predicted the oil and gas industry is “not gonna last,” and has called for Americans to pare back “meat consumption.” Yes, that’s right — the guy taking a sledgehammer to the oil and gas and cattle industries is seeking statewide office in Texas.

The other thing that's different is despite the President's incredible success in rounding up and deporting the wetbacks is that they've had a many years headstart in invading Texas which is a major border state and miraculously has still managed to remain controlled by the GOP lo these many election cycles.

Does James Puertorico really have a shot? Only if GOP voters just assume he doesn't and just stay home, owing also to what I perceive as a kind of lukewarm support for Ken Paxton.

But there is some encouraging news here and across the nation in general that I'll leave you with.

Despite the nonstop propaganda in the media, the HarrisX poll reflects a very different political reality among Americans. 10 out of 13 key Trump policy positions continue to see majority support. His most popular policies are lowering prescription drug prices (84% support), deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes (74%), and requiring proof of citizenship to vote (70%). Trump’s least popular policy positions include placing a 15% tariff on imports from all countries (40%), allowing immigration authorities to access information on low-income families (48%), and eliminating mail-in voting (50%).. . 10 out of 13 key Trump policy positions continue to see majority support. His most popular policies are lowering prescription drug prices (84% support), deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes (74%), and requiring proof of citizenship to vote (70%)... Based on media coverage, you would think the majority of the country has turned against immigration enforcement. Despite the torrent of lies, that’s not the case.

Obviously all of us have to show up to vote to overcome the kind of fraud we know the Democrats are going to pull, perhaps not successfully in Texas but for sure in Michigan where they got away with it before and elsewhere where they control the election process via the Secretary of State and Governor, as well as the courts. And on that note, I give you full on revolution, or what should be!

This may be the first time a court has thrown out a congressional map after the primaries already were held using those maps. That would require a general election in different districts than the primaries. That is what the Missouri Supreme Court just did.
The Attorney General vows to go to SCOTUS:
Never before in American history has a court overturned a congressional map after a primary and before a general election. This unprecedented decision clearly violates federal law and has thrust our state into a full‑fledged constitutional crisis.

And so with all this plus all the other insanity in the linkapalooza, I bid you all to have a great, safe and relaxing Labor Day holiday weekend.

29 Why Opposition to Data Centers Is Perplexing

--

As an admitted lofo on data centers, I should be paying more attention to the pros and cons. But my visceral first reaction is negative simply because I've got such a low trust in anything that sounds like it has the propensity to track or invade my privacy. These data centers may have nothing to do with that at all. But I have such little trust in these behemoth sectors that it makes me automatically recoil. Not fair or informed, I know. But it's just my gut reaction.

53 The Trump administration has launched a direct federal challenge against Connecticut, filing a Department of Justice lawsuit over state policies that grant in-state tuition and financial assistance to eligible immigrant students. In response, Attorney General William Tong issued a fiery rebuke, declaring that federal authorities have no business dictating how local schools and colleges are run. Having originally fought for the tuition equity legislation as a state lawmaker, Tong vowed to defend Connecticut families against what he termed a cruel and intrusive attack. As the legal battle unfolds in federal court, state leaders are standing their ground, signaling that Washington has no authority to override local educational access.
Connecticut doubles down on benefits to illegal aliens that citizens report being denied for.

67 I think part of the problem with society can be attributed to the judiciary. Their drift left and alignment with leftist ideology is a major concern.

They not only side with the left in most cases, they're also responsible for upholding, or rejecting current and newly (legally) legislated laws. They have no issues with taking away your rights, but certainly don't want to curtail the government's and those who work for, or in it.

The issues with the judiciary's actions on illegals is just a symptom of a much larger issue.

77 Virginia Mom Gets 6-Month Suspended Jail Sentence for Letting 5-Year-Old Walk to the Pond

Mom, 8 months pregnant, takes a little bike ride with her son, 5, in their gated community. Back home he asks if he can go out again, on foot, to get some more feathers from the grass near the goose pond. She says sure. He knows his way around, and she has watched him cross the quiet streets safely a hundred times.

But then, someone sees the boy unsupervised and calls security.

Pretty soon there are three cop cars at Karyann's door, and two caseworkers.

The caseworkers put her on the child abuse and neglect registry (for 7 years).

The cops charge her with "Contributing to the delinquency of a minor," and a judge finds her guilty.

America was built on the institution of slavery. It is how America became a world economic power — the buying and selling of people being tied to the economy. That is effectively white supremacy, since it was a race-based system.

Fast forward to other economic policies that were guided by race — housing, employment, etc. There were rules that prevented Black people from equally participating in the free economy.

In fact, one of the most glaring features of American capitalism is racial inequality. The racial wealth gap exists because specific policies were put in place to suppress economic participation.

So yes, capitalism is tied to white supremacy.

Security theatre that will only ever be used against whites.

They won't be used to catch Janiqull and his crew of burglars.
But it will send a ticket to Gladys for rolling through a stop sign in an empty intersection.

Because--just like the TSA--using it to stop actual crime, to identify actual criminals, would be racial profiling.

And that's worse than letting murders, rape and thefts get out of control.

I believe this is the libtard media and pollsters inflicting their will on elections, but yes, it's scary.

I don't think Abbott is in any way in trouble. I don't even know who he's running against.

I don't think Paxton will lose to LaFreak, but they're sure trying to make it look like it.

We ALL just need to get off our asses and vote.

Daily Tech News 4 September 2026

Top Story

Bernie Sanders (Stalinist-Vt.) is calling for a ban on AI superintelligence, having spent his life erasing the regular kind. (The Hill)

Fortunately AI doesn't yet reach the level of human general intelligence, and nobody is foolish enough to claim it does.
GPT 6 Astra: A new level of intelligence. (OpenAI)

Um.

Tech News

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered, every third-level .name domain has been cancelled. (Neil Fraser)

To explain: .name is what is known as a top level domain. There's no dot that comes after it.

The companies that own top-level domains get to sell second level domains to people. Those people can then use them as the see fit and create as many third (and fourth, and so on) level domains as they want, for free. ace.mu.nu and my own ai.mee.nu, for example.

.name is different, for a good reason. Since it directly models real names, they directly sell third-level domains.

Or did. If you have one, like, say, Neil Fraser, you are about to become nameless.

Because Verisign. All my homies hate Verisign.
Lenovo's new ThinkCentre X Ultra comes with AMD's brand new Ryzen AI Max Pro 495. (Tom's Hardware)

What's the difference between that and the previous Ryzen AI Max Pro 395?

Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Stupid! You're so stupid!
I hugged you a face but I boughted it. (Tom's Hardware)

For $12.93 billion.
Intel's next-generation Nova Lake processors won't ship until Q1 2027. (Tom's Hardware)

And that's for the smaller models, up to 28 cores. The high-end 52-core version will arrive an unspecified number of months later.

Also, Razer Lake and Hammer Lake will follow, though we have no details on either of those as yet.
Salesforce says it wasn't able to keep its profit margins up because it was spending too much on Claude AI. (The Register)

I really have to wonder what these guys are doing. If they were using the Claude AI for production tasks like spam filtering, yes, that gets expensive. But they're not. They specifically say R&D.

With my personal Claude account - I recent upgraded to Max 5x, the $100 per month plan - I have built two databases, two compilers, and an interpreter, in the space of two weeks, 280,000 lines of Rust and 70,000 lines of code in a language that didn't exist a week ago except on paper. Test suites, custom fonts and UI designs.

Yes, I've been building out specs I wrote that I didn't have time to complete before now, but if Salesforce is blowing its budget this badly that means they are not writing specs.
Also, the emulator for my fantasy 80s home computer boots and runs Basic.

I had budgeted 24k of ROM for the font maps alone. The entire system - interpreter, compiler, assembler/disassembler, floating point library, disk manager, local networking and twice the number of fonts I had planned - currently totals 34k.
All the superintelligentsia went down at the same time. (Ars Technica)

15 Evening and morning, late toilers and early risers! 'Tis at last Friday -- the consummation devoutly to be wished!

I woke early from a dream where I was married to Nicole Kidman. She was apparently not a famous actress in my scenario, and we were not rich, but well enough off to have a three-bedroom house. For some reason we'd been apart for a while, and for some less sane reason she had three Australian aborigines, an old man and two kids, staying with us. I suggested firmly that they sleep in the spare room and leave our king-sized bed to us. She was agreeing with a smile when I suddenly woke up.

The oil change took little time yesterday, and the gas station still had $3.99 as its price for ethanol-free gas. They asked $3.39 (cash price) for E10 regular -- the cheapest I've seen around here. I could have split the tank between the two products and saved a few bucks.

Last night we watched 1946's Undercurrent, a semi-Gothic with a little resemblance to Gaslight and Rebecca. Katharine Hepburn stars as a dowdy young woman who is swept off her feet by big-time businessman Robert Taylor . . . but Taylor has secrets, including a rocky relationship with his brother (Robert Mitchum). This featured Katharine at her most appealing, Taylor at both his most charming and dangerous, and Mitchum playing against type as a rather sensitive guy (no, not gay).

69 President Trump praised Maria Bartiromo as a “true warrior” and predicted that fans of the longtime Fox News host “will not be happy” after she was abruptly axed from the cable giant.

Bartiromo’s sudden exit after a 12-year run at the network with no explanation left the president shocked Thursday night.

“I can’t believe Maria Bartiromo is no longer going to have her great show(s) on FoxNews/Business,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

This is super-appropriate, since she grew up about a mile and a half from me and I happen to know that her original hometown newspaper does things like mis-setting one line of type (and actual "typo") in letters to the editor the crew disagrees with, so the writer looks like a drunk, and spelling your name wrong in your obituary as one last kick in the ass on your way out the door.

She livec in the nicest neighborhood in her end of the city (two of her neighbors were statehouse representatives), and described it in her books and interviews as an industrial slum full of rats. When her mother sold the house, for a church parking lot, she made enough to send her daughter to Smith -- but, industrial slum you know. Her grandmother was superintendent of schools. Go ahead, call her Steinman.

I think we are discovering, in real-time, that most programmers are absolute shit when it comes to building applications.

What AI is exposing is the fact that far too many poseurs can't write specifications, can't describe something as simple as brushing teeth without leaving major gaps.

Also, because of no honest metric for new productivity, a developer using AI doesn't know how well they are using it. They probably have terrible work-flows, patterns and understanding of what it can do.

Then there are "vibe coders" who don't know what a robust, resilient, secure, maintainable program looks like.

I'll take that trade any day.

I'm writing a massive SSOT prompt library that governs every element of an enterprise application. Every model, every mapping, every business rule, code style, taxonomy rules, test specifications and a myriad of other facets.

With a simple prompt I can quickly generate pages of markdown with mermaid charts that is oriented toward specific audiences.

One prompt, I was able to generate a end-to-end XPS capability that would take a team of developers three weeks, in less than 20 minutes. It has observability and security beyond what the team was generating before.

Yet to this day, I can't get a developer to not take three days to do a 3pt user Story. They don't want to us AI.

New Mexico Man >>>> Florida Man

At least in this particular situation. Man Rolls Up to Police Station With Pickup Truck Full of Torn Up Flock Cameras

While most of the vandals ripping down automatic license plate readers prefer to go incognito, an Albuquerque character named Jevon Martinez isn’t afraid to show his face.
Weeks after Bernalillo county officials cancelled their contract with the controversial surveillance company Flock earlier this year, Martinez noticed the automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) were still up. In a series of videos posted on social media and flagged by KOB4, Martinez filmed himself tearing the camera towers down in order to return them to their rightful owners.
“Since [Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department] is busy — I know BCSO is busy, everyone who works for BCSO, I know you guys are busy, so I went ahead and helped you out,” Martinez says while driving his pickup truck, the bed of which is notably full of ALPR parts.
“We got a bunch of these bad boys,” he says in another video, showing off a truck bed stuffed to the brim with tower parts. “Let’s see how much I can get in one day. That’s gonna be the challenge for everyone out there.”
Playing the helpful citizen, Martinez drove his literal truckload of ALPR bits directly to the Sheriff’s department, where he was promptly taken into custody.

Here is the man himself

Man claims to have taken down every Flock camera in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, moments before he was arrested.

In a video shared on social media, Jevon Martinez said he was on his way to dropping off all the cameras at the sheriff's office.

He's been workin' on the railroad

Engineer retires at age 89 after 60 years on heritage railroads

On Aug. 23, 2026, Don Young put in his last day as a steam locomotive engineer — 60 years after his first such day. On that Sunday, he ran four trips aboard the Delaware River Railroad Excursions’ Chinese-built 2-8-2 No. 142 between Phillipsburg and Riegelsville, N.J., a total of a little under 70 miles. When he climbed down from the cab after putting No. 142 away in the railroad’s shop at a few minutes before 7 p.m., an era in heritage railroading ended. At age 89, Don had decided not to renew his federal engineer’s license, which expired that day; he’ll have no more 5 a.m. alarms to wake to.
***
Born in Baltimore in 1937, Young grew up chasing Maryland & Pennsylvania steam trains on his bicycle. After graduating from high school and a stint in U.S. Navy submarine service, he earned a degree as a metallurgical engineer and hired on with Bethlehem Steel; he retired from a successor firm in 2012, at age 75. Over the course of his career, he worked at the Sparrows Point (Baltimore) mill and three in Pennsylvania – Bethlehem, Fairless, and Steelton; all have closed. In his retirement, Young has volunteered at the National Museum of Industrial History in Bethlehem, where you will still find him one day each week leading tours of the cold blast furnaces where he and his colleagues made high-quality alloy and tool steel.
For the past 40 years, Don has traveled the world, visiting 40-odd countries and seeing operating steam in all of them except Luxembourg and Iceland. In many of those places — including Poland, China, and Cuba — he rode in steam locomotives and ran them.

If this is what AI can already spit out, the movie industry is about to get completely flipped. Studios better start adapting fast because the barrier to making this level of nonsense just dropped to zero.

A Dutch knight?

Arise, Sir AVH: Alex Van Halen knighted in the Netherlands for his part in writing a “remarkable chapter in the history of rock music.”

Alex Van Halen has been knighted – or at least given the equivalent honour – in the Netherlands.
The drummer spent the first nine years of his life in the country, before his family moved to California in 1962. But the Dutch government certainly hasn’t forgotten the Van Halen brothers’ roots.
The honour, the Knight in the Order of the Netherlands Lion (Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw), is one of the country’s highest civilian honours and is only given to those who have made “extraordinary contributions” to Dutch society and culture.

34 I'm impressed with the career of the steam loco engineer. As a yute, I was invited to ride in the cab of locomotive by my great uncle who worked for the RR and they had some sort of special steam excursion. At the appointed time, my Grammi and I stood at the appointed crossing where Uncle Max would stop and pick me up. Uncle Max and his mighty machine huffed and puffed up and stopped. For whatever reason, he blew out one of the cylinders which engulfed Grammi and I. It scared me so badly that I peed myself and promptly ran into a cornfield to hide. Time and trains wait for no man so Uncle eventually had to leave without me.

Of all the regrets in life I might have, that one is the heaviest.

We took the boy to see Thomas the Tank Engine at the Railroad Museum in Green Bay when the boy was about four. Walking up to the facility, the full-sized Thomas rolled very slowly past, and blew the horn. The boy jumped so fast behind me and started shaking.

He recovered quickly, though, so credit to him. We went in to the event, and most of the clientele was under 3 feet tall, and every so serious about their heroes. It took him a good three weeks to get over how exciting it all was.

Also, we stayed at a hotel across the river from the museum, so when we crossed the bridge we told him it was the Island of Sodor....

90 I greatly dislike Ryan Reynolds for many reasons other than he can't act and is one dimensional.

The video tonight gave me two recoils.

What is that rolled up flannel snot rag on your throat? Is this a trend he's trying to set as a deflection from marrying an equally narcissistic weirdo? It looks very stupid, Ryan. I don't understand the point of this unless you are hiding a large zit or worse. Maybe a goiter?

Secondly, he's wearing eye concealer makeup like a ghey. I know this as it's reflecting light and also applied with a trowel. Real men don't or should not do this, Ryan.

You look lame, Ryan.

Aging is making your beady eyes somehow closer together, which is not attractive on anyone.

As much as I cut my teeth on 80s pop, by the end of the 80s I turned to metal. Helped, in large part, by Headbanger’s Ball and the pearl clutchers who assured all of us that metal was scary, and dangerous, with its lyrics about sex, drugs, violence, and SATAN WORSHIP.

Basically all society did back then was give every potential green light a teenage boy needs. “Hmmm. WHY is metal so scary and dangerous??! I better go find out…” : )

Pervasive surveillance is unAmerican. No hysteria is needed.

And if the public doesn't trust pervasive surveillance or AI datacenters, who can blame them? What institution hasn't completely forfeit the public's trust at this point?

People keep talking about how all opposition is Chinese op. Funny how that talking point emerged out of the ether just like any other astroturf.

Here's a recreation of that hexagon pattern in the lab:
https://t.ly/5lw6w

First video I could find. It's caused by differential rotation of a fluid, and they set that with water in cylindrical tank set up where they can spin the inner and outer parts at different speeds.

These polygons naturally come out of that. With different values of the speeds and other variables, you can get anything from triangles, to squares, and on.

169 I had layered hair with sort of bangs, but still long in the '80's. I could still wear a French braid to work in the newborn nursery.

I wanted "The Rachel" from friends in the early '90's. Went to a new hairstylist and made the horrific mistake of asking for a shag, thinking, sort of, that's what she had.

I got a shag and my hair is thick. To a man and sons the first thing they said when they saw me later was: "Why did you do that?" It was traumatic. I wept later in our bedroom bad. The top layer was only about 2" long and it was very curly (as that is what my hair does if I don't correct it).

Women loved it. My men hated it and never, ever again. It remains an inch below my shoulders, blunt with blonde highlights. I may do this forever as it's easy. I don't care that I am olde.

190 COMM--

By "signing in," I presume you mean you had to re-enter the name, email, and (optional) URL fields to comment?

IIANM, those fields are stored in a cookie. If for some reason you erase cookies, those fields are blanked.

Those fields also get blanked if you use certain characters, say a semi-colon or double-quote mark in the name fields - and I don't recall what all else. Because, Pixy.

Doesn't mean anyone has hijacked your identity.

Anyone can enter anyone else's regular nic, though, but that's a AoS bannable offense.

This should have all been explained in the AoSHQ guidebook you got with your membership card.

Living in a small town, 2500 pop, it's amazing how many people have the Ring Cameras.

Yes it is a small town but you go to get your mail at the post office since we don't have home delivery and you get all the scoop. Anywhere you go here you hear the gossip.

I've wondered what the hell the people are looking at with the cameras. I get it if you live in are where there is high crime, sketchy people.

205 I grew up in the 70's, real rock music, halter tops, mini skirts, patched jeans, girls getting into bars way underage, the Brothers (local Hell's Angels) on the highways, and the Butcher Baker hunting and killing girls my age. It was a wild ride.

College at the very end of the 70's into the 80's, and then off to the job market. I didn't have a lot of time to mess around in the 80's, really. Left home at 17 and never looked back. Lots of really fast life changes, and always the need to support myself. But there was nothing wrong with the 80's. No racism that I remember, no real sexism either, except the stupid kind that was easily overcome with a smart mouth and smarter behavior.

My hair didn't do big, but those shoulder pads on the suits... It was better when I moved back up here, so no more suits. Mini skirts, hard hats and steel toed construction boots! I was totally in my element! Lol.

Missed that one. She certainly does not have a ski jump nose. More of a beak with birds of prey eyeballs. Her pupils are super dilated and I wonder what she's on now to control her murdering arse.

I saw the video today of the ED doc's testimony. She did not fling herself out the window, but more of a less dramatic slide down the roof. I'll bet she was not counting on how severe her back injury would be with her superficial (MD's words) cuts to her throat and wrists.

I still think she did this because she hated her husband, as that's how many of these seem to go.

I do hope she does not wheel free. The jury should have been sequestered to prevent the filming by that Karen who fell into her son's grave (I did not read how).

Well, goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow. Fly high but not down your roof.

She lamely superficially cut her wrists and neck after murdering her 3 children, which did nothing as far as bleeding out; and decided to jump out a second floor window. Which I even know typically does not kill you unless you land on your head or neck on concrete. She somehow fx her thoracic vertebra and is paralyzed from the waist down.

I think she wanted to dive through the window but it was too small, looked like a bathroom window. This part she did not plan well nor research.

I want her locked up somewhere for life with her tubes tied.

First off, he might like titties, and hold nothing against them at all (insert bad joke here). He may just have a problem with N-ASS-A's selection process and is trying to make that point obvious. Or he may be frustrated with having nowhere to park his bicycle, and anticipates these Sororitynauts being buried face up, thus allowing convenient bike parking without using a kickstand.

We met in college in Wisconsin in Spring of '73. Then I dropped out and stupidly failed to take her with me. Finally talked her into coming to Oklahoma in '74. (Oct 1 anniv coming up.) She was on her way to visit a sister in California. Never got there.. Didn't get officially hitched until 1980, though. And started a family. As it should be. Folks above talking about the 1980s, well, we were busy with the babies.

She needs to be locked up where she has no access whatsoever to children, ever. I cannot in good conscience wish she were in hell, but she needs to pay for premeditated murder, which is exactly what she did. Nobody can convince me she was crazy--crazy people are not able to plan all the angles and get away with that. And she showed no remorse after the act. She asked for a lawyer. Horrid. That kind of psychopathy is not fixable.

Yep - I get it. But the things I've done weren't even to the level of asking God's forgiveness (except a lie I told once and I knew it was a lie and I knew it was wrong but I blustered the other guy down and I regret it terribly. It was just because I was a chickenshit).

It's just crap I really wish I could redo or take back.

Here's the poop, folks. We are all sinners. We all fall short. Holding yourself to account for not being perfect is unrealistic, and only leads to spiritual and psychological problems. If you knew the great blessings of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) you would run to it, really. Jesus comes to you. He forgives you if you are truly sorry for your sins. It is really the only way to become the wonderful creature He made you to be. And God created you GOOD.

282 I'm Catholic, I don't have that option. Wishing for someone to go to hell is mortal sin. It isn't that I don't think she should, but that it hurts my soul to wish anyone to perdition. Because of Hope in the Divine, I have to hope everyone repents before death, else I will be a hypocrite asking for Divine Mercy for my own soul.

Not everyone adheres to that sort of moral framework, so YMMV.
Posted by: tcn in AK at September 03, 2026 11:47 PM (Ntshk)

And it’s worth pointing out the reason for that framework. Whatever happens to her eternal soul is a judgment far above my pay grade, or anyone else’s here, so what I think about it has no effect on her ultimate fate. However, if I give harbor to corrosive and bitter thoughts about such things, it DOES have quite an impact on me and my state of mind

We have been told to avoid that kind of thinking for our own protection, to block evil from getting a foothold in our hearts.

I think the lone juror believes that there she is guilty, which includes the finding that there is no reasonable doubt that she was mentally competent to appreciate the wrongness of her acts at the time she committed them.

The subsequent suicide attempt, in my mind, is equivocal evidence (no evidence one way or another as to her mental state) as it can be taken as a sign of remorse as well as a sign of psychosis or some other severe mental state that could have existed when she planned and individually strangled each of those children.

Yes, that is what the judge told them today.

I have told you that every person is to be presumed innocent until they are proved guilty, and that the burden of proof is on the prosecutor. If you evaluate all of the evidence and you still have reasonable doubt remaining, the defendant is entitled to the benefit of that doubt and must be acquitted.

As I recall, the ultimate sin is despair [in God's mercy]. (That was Judas's sin.) So if she asks for God's mercy...

As I further recall, we are all sinners, and there's no sin that shuts you out of God's presence as long as you repent and ask for forgiveness -- I'm conflating mercy and forgiveness here, so beware. But as monumental as some sins are, there is no One Sin that precludes God's mercy.

“Missourians deserve a state government that is watching out for them—not watching over them. We must keep government accountable to the people and work to make life in Missouri easier and more affordable; if any candidate has different goals than that, I’d say they are overstepping their Constitutional limits. The job of a state representative is to get government out of the way, so constituents can thrive. That’s my plan and promise to the people of Jasper County."

It had its origin in a tragedy, of course. A guy named Charles Meach got sent to Alaska Psychiatric Institute after beating a retarded supermarket bag boy to death. After a while the doctors decided he was better and started giving him unsupervised passes.

Then he murdered four teenagers after they caught him burglarizing their camp site.

I think the effects of a Carrington event will be very unpredictable. Some installations will be hardened, and survive. Other will survive by being off-grid, or by the fortuitous chance of the grid wires supplying their power being oriented along the weak axis of the magnetic surge.

And we now watch the Sun. If a massive solar flare erupts, and is headed our way, we will have maybe a day or two of warning time, hours certainly. Time to unplug all our digital electronics, and hunker down. Could maybe even shut down the grid, and put grounds on the lines for a few hours.

There is good evidence for several solar storms much bigger than Carrington. One is dated to about 774-775 AD, and that sucker was likely 10x Carrington.

Huge spike in C-14 levels and some other isotope(s). That 775 AD event was the probably the biggest one in the Holocene.

The biggest one ever was around 14 kya, 14.3 I think is the best dating, and that sucker was even bigger than thought from some recent data.

And that date should sound familiar... A little before the dreaded Younger Dryas. And actually right around the Older Dryas.

They've got grid mitigation techniques now which they routinely use during the geomagnetic storms. Basically, when Erf's magnetic field gets to doing it's dance, large DC (on time scales relative to grid frequency) voltages are induced in long E-W wires strung along. Transformer cores don't like it, so they disconnect the grounded neutrals and put some "high pass" filters in that block the DC.

Of course, if that voltage gets too high....

See the "Anglo-Saxon chronicle" -- some monks recorded a giant red cross in the sky. There are other ancient accounts. When those accounts line up with tree-ring data showing carbon-14 spikes, and some other proxies, they consider that a confirmation.

There is a crazy theory, which actually makes sense. You know those crazy "stick figures" in some of those petroglyphs? Well, they have a remarkable similarity to some of the plasma discharge patterns (see "Z-pinch").

Almost a dead-on match in some cases. If there were some YUGE solar particle event and geomagnetic storm of the orders of magnitude range bigger than Carrington, the sky would be lit up with displays like that.

So, they think our ancient ancestors recorded those awesome and terrifying patterns in the sky.

Posted by: JQ at September 04, 2026 02:19 AM (rdVOm)

Well, we'd get a dose of radiation, likely with no discernible effect. Some power lines and copper comms lines might get burned out by the powerful magnetic surges; all depending on the orientation of the line in question relative to the vector of the field. Small items, like laptops, cellphones, and appliances likely would be unaffected, since they are too small for the field gradient to develop much voltage across them. But stuff plugged into the wall could get zapped if a voltage surge gets passed along the grid. I had stuff zapped here when a power line got hit by lightning. But we will get a warning. Heed it, unplug until the surge has passed.

Good for checking for intake leaks too. You know what I miss though? The company that would change the parts washer fluid every month dropped off this thing for a free trial. It was maybe a 10-15 gallon steel drum with an agitator on top. The fluid was somewhere between that old school carb dunking shit and paint stripper. The agitator had a basket, and I would stick a harley head in it, hook up an air hose and it would just slowly agitate the head. In a hour it would come out like a new casting. No carbon, no paint, nothing. It was worth it when I was rebuilding heads a lot. We only send out cylinders to the machine shop, but I did all the valve and head rebuilding, so it made life easy. It was a pain in the ass to glass bead the carbon out of them, so this was living large. It was $100 a month years ago for that. They don't deal with it anymore.

Yep the biggest danger with the changing magnetic field is long E-W transmission line. Neutral to ground "high pass" filters handle a lot of that now. But if it were big enough, they'd just arc over and burn out. In that case, well, they'd have to take the grid down for the duration, and just ground out the transmission lines.

I wonder what would happen if you just disconnect the line from whatever termination it had at each end, and let it float? It might get standing waves on it, but would any current flow? I guess they could now run computer simulations to predict what might happen.

Another possible concern would be pipelines, I guess.

Well, if the grid gets fucked, the grid gets fucked, and there is nothing we as individuals can do to prevent it. We can unplug all our own gear, so it doesn't also get destroyed. And we should all have a fuel-burning generator on hand, so that we can make some use of electricity during the recovery period.

An ongoing astrophysical question is if the Sun can produce "superflares". Now, by superflare, I don't just mean a couple three orders of magnitude bigger than Carrington, such as that 14 kya event, I mean a flare that would make that 14 kya event look like a fart in a hurricane. If one of those hit earth, it would be a sterilizing event. Basically protons on the deck here at ground level.

There've been a few sun-like stars observed that do these from time to time. A few, but not many. And those few that do are very different from the Sun in some cases -- very fast spinners and some other things.

So the question is can we rule out that Sol could pull one of those. We can't, although they think it's highly unlikely.

You are a handy and resourceful person. Prowl yard sales and auctions, and flea markets. Buy one or two little generators, and make them work. You don't need a big expensive whole-house generator. A 3500 watt job will run your fridge and freezer, a couple of lights, and the furnace fan. Maybe run the fridge and freezer alternately. I have an ancient Coleman 3500 watt generator, and it has done yeoman service in several power outages due to storms. Run the fridge, the circulating pump and thermo valves for the hot water heating system, some lights, and the computer. Microwave when I need it, too.

I said sterilizing, but a superflare wouldn't really be. It would be sterilizing to *us*, basically, and a lot of surface life, but it would recover eventually. It would be total reset and what would emerge would be something very different, but life would survive.

The late Ordovician mass extinction event about 450 million years ago is a good candidate for a gamma ray burst, turns out. That's another big radiation event type of thing.

38 There is an interesting parallel to El-Sayed and Hasan Piker, and the calls for the former to repudiate the latter. In that case, both individuals are repugnant, while JD is not, but that is how it will be played by the Dems. JD better get a handle on this tout de suite. It will be a test of his political skills.

Understood, but I think JD is trying to avoid being that guy who backs down to the mob. I'm sure it's a lesson he learned from Trump. He should have distanced himself quietly and discreetly when it became obvious that Tucker had gone off the reservation. As it is now, he has no good choices.

Posted by: Archimedes at September 03, 2026 07:48 PM (Riz8t)

42 Do you not have any longtime friends who have opposing political views?

I admit, JD and Tucker are both in the public eye all the time and that makes what they say and do visible To everyone, but does that mean they hane to publicly hate on each other? It doesn’t mean JD agrees with any of the horseshit coming out of tuckers pie hole.

Perhaps he’s trying to be an example of, we don’t publicly destroy people we disagree with. Even those we vehemently disagree with.

Yes, some of the crap Tucker says is ludicrous and disgusting and offensive.

Or maybe Tucker has something on JD.

Trump dropped people when he saw they did not suit his vision, were antithetical to his direction. Vance is trying to force people to accept Cucker under the "Big Tent" falacy. This is like shoving amnesty down our throats back in the day. We won without amnesty, quite the opposite, and the man who will not be afraid to kick Cucker in the ass, and tell everyone the truth about him should be the head of R ticket.

A panda walks into a bar. He sits down and orders a burger and fries. The guy next to him is dumbfounded. When the panda is finished eating it stands up, draws a gun and shoots the bartender. He begins to walk out and is at the door when the guy who was sitting next to him works up the courage to call him out.

“H-hey, pal, what’s the big idea?”

The panda turns and says:
“I’m a panda. I eats shoots and leaves.”

121 >>How hard would it have been for Vance to have said "didn't Tucker endorse the Democrat? fuck him. Next!"

Probably pretty hard. Tucker has been a Vance supporter since he was a senator and lobbied with his pal Don Jr. for Vance to be VP.

Vance seems like a very loyal guy and I'm sure he knows what a bad spot Tucker has put him in. Easy for us to toss him under the bus where he belongs, probably a bit harder for Vance. I'm sure he'll get there at some point.

I find that's something of a cop out. Their actions are not random and if you look at things spiritually rather than seeking a secular ideological explanation, it's right there.

The pagan gods are fallen angels and they are still around, and they use the same temptations. Trying to overlay feminism or "cultural Marxism" (which is just retarded) gets you nowhere. They are pagans doing pagan things, and paganism was successful because it feeds human sin, and teaches that sin is good, and virtue is oppressive, just like the demons.

Roman parents had the power of life or death over their children and could legally kill them. So we're right back to the age of the Caesars.

Thank you. We believe she is free of cancer, and the chemo is described as mild and will only last a few weeks. We're basically hunting down the stragglers, making the rubble bounce. If she can't tolerate it, it will get dialed down or stopped. There's also a drug therapy that targets her specific cancer that is very mild that will go on longer.

Memento Mori. Every day is a gift.

Paradoxically, I no longer oppose the death penalty, in fact I think it should be expanded. Death is not a punishment - it claims us all. Some have, through their actions, earned a timeline acceleration. Acting like it is the worst you can do displays naivete or dishonesty.

How Is This Even a Question? Texas Establishment RINOs Debate Whether They Will Support Ken Paxton Over James "Jesus Has Six Gender" Talarico

"Lousy loser" John Cornyn refuses to campaign with Ken Paxton.

He's a real conservative you guys, he really wants to beat the Democrats.

Sen. John Cornyn slammed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton as a "lazy" and "poor campaigner" Friday as he explained why he won't help the Republican Senate nominee in his race against Democrat James Talarico.
Cornyn, who lost to Paxton in the bitter Texas GOP Senate primary runoff election earlier this summer, explained in an interview with the Texas Tribune that while he wants to see Republicans hold their majority in the upper chamber after the midterms, he isn't going to fundraise for Paxton because he hasn't made a compelling case to Lone Star State voters.

"Paxton's a poor campaigner," Cornyn told the outlet. "He's lazy and doesn't raise money. And he basically is not offering a very compelling case for his election.
"He's making this harder than it needs to be."
...
"This is unfortunately shaping up to be a close and I hope not disastrous election," Cornyn said. "But it ain't looking good right now."

Byron York: What is the GOPe doing?

AS TALARICO GOES FROM BAD TO WORSE, GOP DEBATES SUPPORT FOR PAXTON. There's been a lot of commentary lately about the faults of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican candidate for Senate. There are many such faults, and the impeached and scandal-ridden Paxton is widely recognized among GOP strategists as a poor candidate.
But take a moment to remember the utter terribleness of Paxton's opponent, Democratic nominee James Talarico. You've heard his greatest hits. His belief that there are six genders. That God is nonbinary. His "non-meat" campaign. His claim to be "a Christian who hates Christianity." And more.
Now, there's something else to consider. It comes from September 2020, when Talarico was running for the Texas legislature and took part in a Zoom forum run by the Sierra Club. He was asked what he would do to "fight for climate justice" for "communities of color" that "receive the most harm from the impacts of climate change."
"I'm so thankful that you asked this question, and also thankful that young activists have really drawn the link between climate change and white supremacy and capitalism in our country," Talarico answered. "And I think only understanding the ways that all three of those oppressive systems work together are we going to be able to begin the process of dismantling them."
...

Meanwhile, some Republican and conservative commentators have spent a good bit of time dumping on Paxton. National Review published a piece headlined, "Everyone is Edging Away from Ken Paxton," which said a "horrid smell" was "filling the room" in Texas -- the "stench of potential electoral doom" brought about by the Paxton campaign.
Conservative radio host Erick Erickson is on an anti-Paxton crusade, writing, "The only thing for which Paxton has ever shown prodigious energy is philandery and possibly corruption. He is a lazy candidate in a heated race, and laziness is not a flaw you can fundraise your way around."

Oh, he's repeating the lines from the GOPe op. What a surprise from this brain surgeon.

...
[Conservative radio host Steve] Deace argued that "uniparty" Republicans are the ones bashing Paxton right now, and they would be perfectly happy for him to lose and Talarico to win. (Deace called Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), defeated by Paxton in the GOP primary, a "uniparty stooge.") If true conservatives don't vote for Paxton, Deace said, they would give the "uniparty" Republicans "exactly what they want" while at the same time would "permit Democrats to inflict absolutely all their demoniac madness upon you without reservation." The bottom line, Deace argued, is that true conservatives should vote for Paxton to stop Democratic awfulness.

That was the message Cruz sent in his Tuesday appearance with Fox News's Laura Ingraham. "Some of the Republicans that are throwing rocks at Ken Paxton, my message to them is: Enough! Stop your b****ing," Cruz said. Citing previous years in which centrist Republicans urged conservative voters to support centrist nominees, Cruz continued, "My answer to everyone whining: Shut up and support the nominee, and don't hand Texas over to a communist lunatic."

No. There are more important issues, like Erick Erickson's capacity for grifting.

Byron York
@ByronYork

This was written the day of the Dobbs decision. One can understand opposing Dobbs. One can understand wanting to overturn it. But advocating for what would, in effect, be a Federal Abortion Service, staffed by a Federal Abortion Corps, seems...out there. But classic Talarico.

I'm sure his communist staff will tell you, if you ask for comment, that this "cringey language" "misses the mark" and that he believes in capitalism and Jesus.

So I wouldn't bother asking his communist staff.

Chris Loesch 𝕏
@ChrisLoesch

The NRSC and GOP telling Texas voters that they are stupid for choosing Paxton over Cornyn (we like our gun rights - go figure) and withholding any funding they would have normally put into the race is the establishment trying to rule over the plebes. Cornyn wasn't a "safe choice" for our rights. So if the rest of the nation wants to turn Texas blue then good luck ever getting another republican majority or president. Nice Texas is gone, so is the nation.
Thanks coastal elites!

Here's Steve Deace's take:

Steve Deace
@SteveDeaceShow
Here's some tough love. But it's why I make the better than average bucks.
Ken Paxton is one of the finest public servants in this country. His work as Texas AG would rank among the most impactful of any statewide elected official in this nation (DeSantis is in his own GOAT tier). He would be a tremendous upgrade at Senator not just for Texas, but the country. But he's also made a mess of his personal life, and the residual impact of that is costing him some support (including financially). So, again, anyone that tells you sexual ethics are strictly a private matter is dead wrong. An entire state/country may suffer consequences. Paxton's personal failing is giving people an objection they otherwise wouldn't have to an exemplary AG. The Biblical model always requires us to first accept responsibility for our own actions, and the role we played in our own situation.
However, given how little we know much of Washington DC's uniparty cares about marriage, family, and sexual ethics that alone doesn't come close to explain him (and thus the country) being hung out to dry in this crucial Texas Senate race. There's no moral high ground within the uniparty. Only vested interests. And uniparty Republicans would much prefer to be in the minority. Because in that case they can raise all kinds of money to ensure their positions off how bad the Democrats are, with no expectations to do anything about it.
Thus, you will not be punishing these Republicans by staying home but just yourself. You will be giving them exactly what they want, prestige with no responsibility, while you will permit Democrats to inflict absolutely all their demoniac madness upon you without reservation. Nothing new is coming. There is no alternative to the GOP possible within any time frame what's left of our way of life would survive. You won't teach anyone any lessons. Most of these Republicans would rather lose to Democrats than lose control of the party to you, anyway.
And yes, this is a poopy position to be in. But it's the position we are in generationally, and our job is to do the best we can with the times that we have. The best we can do is slow down as much of this Democrat madness as possible, while also keeping Republicans in power to expose themselves in the hopes that creates more primaries where a Paxton can beat an exposed uniparty stooge like Cornyn.
Again, not a great spot. But it is the spot. Short of revival, it's all we have left. And it's still by far the best country in the world. So suck it up and occupy until He comes. This is the best we can do.

Fat shabby one-pair-o'-pants grifter Jonah Goldberg, who swiped the research for "his" book Liberal Fascism from writers at the Claremont Institute, accuses Steve Deace of being paid to say this.

Jonah Goldberg
@JonahDispatch
This is the kind of opinion that makes me assume someone is being compensated to offer it. Not saying that's the case. But I find it difficult to understand how a person could come by it honestly.

Who's signing your checks, Jonah? I know it's not Republicans.

Is it Pierre Omidyar?

It's interesting to note the contrast between Texas and Michigan. In the 2022 cycle, the GOPe tried to purge Trumpism and it backfired in a bad way, and aided by Dem chicanery we got a staggeringly weak ticket that gave the Dems total control and they ran wild.

As a result of that experience, the Michigan GOP pulled itself together and the Establishment folks came to accept Trump as the way things are now. Mike Rogers is a bland centrist, but he knows what time it is.

Texas has not yet reached the point, and I'm sure the calculation is that blowing a Senate seat won't hurt Texas too badly.

How much did the NRSC pump into the primaries? And yet they wouldn't pass SAVE, even though that would have let them keep Cornyn - despite him being a worthless piece of shit... as further evidenced by his behavior since the primary.

There is also the fact that a more conservative Senate free of Cornyn and Tillis WILL pass the SAVE Act. Same with the House. Massie will be gone, and a conservative will take his seat, so what we will have is a WORKING majority that can get stuff done.

85 Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office asserts it has filed more than 100 lawsuits against the Biden administration and claims it has "won more than three out of every four" of those suits.

Paxton has continued to trumpet his record against the Biden White House, frequently claiming an 80% win rate, which a Texas Tribune analysis found is overstated. A lawsuit’s lifecycle is complicated, and there are many ways to measure a win. By the most generous metrics, Texas got the outcome it wanted in about two-thirds of the cases it was involved in.

125 I love the way Jonah backtracks his little statement.

I have a funny story about him that I can't say as he'd probably then remember me. I want him to forget me, altho I am pretty unforgettable.

I will say this about him (in the distant past): he had wit and kindness. He also seemed very insecure and to have a great need for attention. He also liked to argue with me and I'd state whatever I felt and ignore him.

For the last Dim womman with nasty dark roots above to say that about Jesus ticks me off to the point I want to hit her. Then watch her head spin around.

From her caved in mouth and teefs it appears someone already socked her in the jabbering maw. Which forced her teeth to grow inward as if her dentures were removed.

I'm in a good mood after the hair salon, in spite of a lot of fubar going on around me. My roots now look grand like the rest of me.

Age is meaningless unless you need a sports medicine surgeon who only operates after age 50yrs. That's when you feel old. We wait to hear from a surgeon who can fix my husband's mild issue of a muscle tearing away vs no surgery and PT.

I am not a patient person by nature and am now finding it or pretending I have it.

An anti-establishment Republican is 10x worse than a Democrat.

They'll resort to any tactic, no matter how despicable to defeat a popular insurgent in a primary (see: Chris McDaniel) and then side with a Democrat against him if he wins (see: Roy Moore), and if he manages to beat the Dem, he'll be lonelier than an iron-masked Dauphin in an oubliette (see: Dave Brat).

131 Bottom line. The NRSC (National Republican Senatorial Committee) shelled out over $100 Million in support of Cornyn in the primary. They bet on the wrong horse. So, NOW, the NRSC isn't shelling out any money to Paxton for the Midterm election but claim to be helping him raise money (yeah, I bet).

138 My take: The Uniparty bought Cornyn long, long ago and counted on him to do as he was told, in exchange for some money under the table each year. As deputy to Thune, he was a key cog in the Uniparty sausage making machine.

So, the Uniparty hates Paxton for two reasons.

1. Petty Revenge. He displaced a loyal bought-and-paid-for cog in the Uniparty sausage-making machine.

2. The main reason. The Uniparty is unsure Paxton will play ball on the Uniparty Team. Maybe they'll eventually be able to buy him. Maybe not. Cabals like the Uniparty intensely dislike and fear uncertainty of achieving the cabal's goals. The Uniparty is totally confident it can buy Talarico, and on the cheap.

Was talking to a friend today about this. I’ve seen a few anti-Talafreako ads by conservative groups but I haven’t seen one Paxton ad where he’s actually in the ad and speaking. Not on YouTube, regular tv, anywhere. Meanwhile, Freako keeps running his “on the porch with paw paw ads” constantly. I’m starting to get a little nervous. Never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate.
Posted by: TxAnn at September 03, 2026 06:37 PM (SjAWL)

Yep.

Despite everything conservatives websites are reporting about Talarico's freakishness he has been pretty focused on real issues. He's not like Beto, a white man pretending to be Hispanic and acting like the second coming of Obama. Strictly in terms of advertising Talarico is on point. And unlike Kamala's embarrassing ad campaign that we all loved to mock, Talarico's show a lot more confidence in their normality (if that makes sense).

Paxton is nowhere.

I'm not saying Talarico will win but I'm saying he has a real shot. Sad face.

152 I am a block walking machine. Local Republicans know I walked 2/3 of my precinct in 2 months during the 2024 primary.

(We are a one-party county, meaning the Republican nominee for county offices runs unopposed in November, so if you want to vote in a contested election for those seats you have to do it in the primary.)

So I kicked ass for my candidate during the 2024 GOP primary, and when I asked the local leaders when I could do the same for Paxton in the general, i.e., when could I get door hangers and yard signs for my precinct, I got shrugs. I reached out to the Paxton campaign, and all I got was requests for money.

I'm willing to do the work, but it's like nobody really wants me to.

Paxton is going to win my county no matter what, but if they want to win the state they need the biggest GOTV in the areas where the most Republicans live.

In 2018, Cruz got 52% turnout from my county. This year we have about 95k registered voters and about 81% of them supported Trump in '24.

GOTV happens when volunteers walk the streets. Ad buys don't cut it. Somebody in the Paxton campaign should pay attention.

If you don't want to win BIG, you don't really want to win.

He did an outstanding job as Texas AG. The issue is Talarico is running ads nonstop on youtube trying to make himself out as a normy and uninformed people (most voters) are falling for it. Paxton needs to start getting out ads on youtube, tiktok, and all other social media along with TV ads and such. Texas has a very low turnout for non presidential elections and the Texas GOP (along with the rest of the GOP) still hasn't figured out that turnout is all that matters.

Seems like they're doing everything they can to guarantee that he won't. If (when) he wins, he won't owe them anything.

In 2005 Canada was $10k behind USA in per cap
Today it is $23K.

He, so I recently read, bragged on tv, thinking it super funny, that he burned down most of his elementary school as a kid...and not by accident.

So when they go to sex clubs, have multiple lovers, get caught with a member of the "wrong" sex, none of it violates any of the things they pretend to stand for.

237 Digging thru my old scrapbooks I found an article containing a brief bio of my Italian grandpa published in the Detroit News on Dec 8 1986. It starts:

"I came from Switzerland to Detroit on July 7 1926 with my father and two brothers. It was mandatory we all find a job and not rely on the government so I stayed on Ellis Island for three days until I found a friend to sign for me. My first job was in Detroit as a dishwasher at the Statler Hotel... I worked six days a week for $2 a day...."

A "nation of immigrants" yep. Immigrants who were not only required to immediately find work but HAVE A CITIZEN RESIDENT SIGN THAT THEIMMIGRANT HAD IMMEDIATE WORK.

Leftists who committed moral offenses, whom the DNC and Uniparty want to resurrect, can do an apology tour on the network morning and late-night shows and are back in business.

Conservatives who attempt such a resurrection are only successful if the Uniparty wants to regain their public services. If not, a morally-failed Republican's apology tour becomes a nightmare. The infotainment show hosts will only ask questions about why he did what he did and why anyone should believe he won't do it again. And introduce new accusations. No questions about how and why he learned from his failings and has become a better person.

NEW: The Maria Bartiromo backstory, per multiple sources familiar....

Maria Bartiromo wanted to pursue a story related to China and 2020 election voting conspiracies... a major sensitivity for the network given its Dominion and Smartmatic lawsuits.

A Fox Business executive sent a text to Fox Business producers informing them that that story could not go to air.

Bartiromo took a screen shot of the guidance and sent it to senior White House officials.

Fox News leadership learned about that after receiving a call from the White House, which they viewed as a fireable offense.

Fox pulled Bartiromo from air after Aug. 9. She was fired today. I have also learned that her executive producer Patrick Ignozzi was also fired after the annoucnement.

Maria had resigned her contract with Fox last February.

261 So, again, anyone that tells you sexual ethics are strictly a private matter is dead wrong. An entire state/country may suffer consequences. Paxton's personal failing is giving people an objection they otherwise wouldn't have to an exemplary AG. The Biblical model always requires us to first accept responsibility for our own actions, and the role we played in our own situation.

-----------------

Why wasn't this standard applied to JFK or Clinton or any Democrat? It seems only Republicans must be subjected to this stricture.

When they tried the same thing with Trump in 2016 I commented that I don't want to marry him, I want him to go after our enemies which none of the other candidates in either side even mentioned.

287 Nothing new from the RINO crew. It's just the next stage of NeverTrump bullshit - what it is, and always has been, is NeverConservative.

The RINO establishment's entire existence relies upon them being able to invade a staunch red state, play the stupid squishy 'moderate' game, and ensure that the choice is always their RINO jerk or a Democrat. And they make sure to blacklist anybody dares even ATTEMPT to challenge one of the RINO princes.

Paxton upset that con, and he MUST be destroyed forever.

They tried to bury him in the primary with over $100 million and Cornyn still got slaughtered.

So now they are trying to ensure Paxton loses to 'prove' that they were wrong to get rid of their sacred RINO.

Tuq'r's Correlegionist Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed Struggles, For Some Reason, to Win Over Jewish Voters;
Michigan's Jewish Demcrat AG Says Jews Must Put Aside Worries About Antisemitic Violence to Support Muslims Who Want to Kill Them

The Democrat Party is really hitting on all cylinders now.

Tucker Carlson's pick for the America First candidate for Michigan Senate says Jews should like him but Jews aren't so sure.

The New York Times is sad to admit this:

El-Sayed Wants to Mend Ties With Jewish Democrats, but Some Are Not Impressed
Lingering concerns about the Senate nominee in Michigan could make it harder for him to assemble a winning coalition.

What concerns specifically, NYT? Why are you being vague?

This is why Bari Weiss had to step in and change a headline to specifically say that Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed was deleting tweets about 9/11. The "Journalist" herself (I'm assuming a Karen) didn't want to alert the reader to what the tweets were about so Bari Weiss took the unethical step of informing the readers.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan, recently spent two days trying to mend fences with Jewish Democrats after an acrimonious primary against a pro-Israel opponent.
For some of them, it wasn't enough.
Specifically, Dr. El-Sayed sought to address remarks he had made shortly after an attack on a synagogue in the Detroit area in March that some interpreted as too sympathetic to the assailant.

WHAT WAS THE COMMENT?

If you told us, we could judge. But you're hiding it from us.

Why is that?

Oh, the comment was, of course, an excuse for the child-slayer: "Hurt people do hurt people." The Muslim was "hurt" -- his feelings, he meant -- so he shot a bunch of Jewish kids.

There's hurt on one side, there's hurt on the other. Let's not bicker and argue about 'oo killed 'oo.

But his apologies last weekend fell short with some Jewish Democrats in part because he seemed to be seeking forgiveness for the timing of his remark rather than its substance.
Dr. El-Sayed's criticism of Israel has concerned many Jewish Democrats. And some are angered by his association with Hasan Piker, a provocative streamer whose comments about Israel have drawn blowback from Democrats and Republicans.

What were those provocative comments, NYT?

The ones about America deserving 9/11? The framed photo of the burning towers behind him in his podcast office? The claim that Jews might have been involved in 9/11? The statement that Hamas' murder of babies was justified because murdering "settlers" is justified and "there are baby settlers" who therefore are justifiable targets for Muslim murder?

WHAT ARE THE COMMENTS?!

It's weird how every salient detail keeps not appearing in this article, which is supposedly about why Jews are rejecting Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed.

It's almost as if the media exists not to report the truth but to hide it.

The frictions revealed the still-fresh wounds from a bitter primary struggle between Dr. El-Sayed and his pro-Israel opponent, Representative Haley Stevens.

Haley Stevens has now been identified twice as "pro-Israel" but Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has not been identified as "anti-Israel" or "pro-Islam" or "pro-Hamas" or "pro-Muslim Brotherhood."

Their race became a proxy war over the Democratic Party's divisions on Israel, which propelled numerous progressive candidates, including Dr. El-Sayed, to victory.

What divisions? Haley Stevens seems to have a position you identify, but Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has no position you can identity. How can there be "divisions" when only one side has an opinion and the other side is, we assume, just neutral on the matter?

The lingering tension is a hurdle for Dr. El-Sayed as he seeks to turn to his general-election opponent, former Representative Mike Rogers, a Republican. Uniting Democrats is proving difficult for Dr. El-Sayed, who won his primary by fewer than 18,000 votes. And he is battling on two fronts, as Mr. Rogers and other Republicans, including Vice President JD Vance, have begun to assail him over his position on Israel in an effort to peel off Jewish support.

We still have not heard about Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's "position" on Israel, but it is nice that we finally know he has one.

Meanwhile, even Van Jones is blasting Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's anti-Israel extremism, pointing out that the Muslim Brotherhood Manchurian Candidate wants to ban Israel from buying, with its own money, purely defensive arms like the Patriot missile.

Almost as if he wants Israeli civilians to be killed by Hamas and Iranian missiles.

But I know that from a Van Jones clip-- not from the NYT.

With just over two months left before the general election, the dissonance could threaten Dr. El-Sayed's efforts to assemble a winning coalition in a key Senate battleground race that will help determine control of the upper chamber.

What is the reason for the "dissonance"? Why are you so deliberately vague?

And now, after that deliberately falsified article, they admit they made some very minor technical errors in the first published version.

They do this so you believe, wrongly, that what remains is true and complete:

An earlier version of this article misspelled the given name of a Democrat who plans to vote for Republican Mike Rogers. She is Stacy Gittleman, not Stacey Gittleman.
We acknowledge mistakes in our reporting with corrections. If you spot an error, please let us know at corrections@nytimes.com.Learn more.

I spotted a bunch of errors but I don't think you're serious about correcting them.

Meanwhile, Michigan's female Democrat Jewish AG Dana Nessel tells Jews to put concerns about their safety aside and just vote for the guy who wants them all dead.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's remarks on Sunday constitute a new low in contemporary political discourse.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, was being honored at a gathering of the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus on Sunday when Mv "We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival," she also reportedly said.

Did you just say that Jews must put aside their own survival to support the Democrats and Hamas' plans to exterminate all Jews in Israel??!!?

Say what?
Nessel's remarks were made in the context of the controversy over the vocally anti-Israel Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, whom many Jewish Democrats oppose -- and whom Nessel has not endorsed, at least not yet.

Oh, someone finally told me what Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed's position on Israel is.

This is a Democrat who is still open to voting for Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. Of course.

...
And now, a Jewish Democratic politician -- a state attorney general, no less -- is telling her Jewish constituents that they should be prepared to sacrifice their safety and their survival for some sort of "common good"?
In her speech, again according to the Jewish Insider report, Nessel suggested emulating the biblical Queen Esther to "sacrifice the comfort, safety and security and even the very future of our own people in exchange for the opportunity to save the rest of humanity." Except, of course, it would appear that Nessel did not pay attention in her religious school classes at West Bloomfield's Temple Kol Ami, since Esther did no such thing. What Esther did was risk the displeasure of her husband King Ahasuerus (the Persian king Xerxes I) and possibly her own life in order to ensure the survival of her people -- that is, the Jewish People. Nessel's analogy is, to be kind, entirely off base.
So is her curious attempt to link support for Israel with environmental causes. "What good is defending the historic homeland of our ancestors and demanding that candidates acknowledge its right to exist," she asked, "if the planet upon which it rests is no longer inhabitable?" This is a non-sequitur to end all non sequiturs, and it makes no sense in the present-day political climate.
Is Nessel suggesting that we should ever turn a blind eye to any threats to Jewish safety?

Yes she is. How are you not getting this? Are you stupid?

OK so, Germans had some valid complaints about the Treaty of Versailles. They even had valid reasons for complaint about the moral character and behavior of Germany at the time. But look at how they responded, look at the horrific evil they did, far eclipsing anything that was done to them!

Palistinians are in the same boat. Israel is made up of human beings, they have done bad in the past, I am sure of it. But the response of the palestinians is far, far, far worse than what they have had done to them. Any possible just complaint that they may have had is just buried under the horrific behavior they engage in.

70 I'll tell you El-Sayed's biggest mistake to date. When it came out that he professed to believe and applies Sharia Law, a giant red flag went up in the Jewish community.

The Jewish voter (and voter is important) is Secular. It's one of the reasons a significant number stay away from the Republican party. They perceive the influence of religious groups such as Evangelists and Protestants as leaning towards non=secluar.

And when I say the Jewish voter is secular it only applies to other religions; Not theirs. In the past, the Democrats had re-inforced their non-religious position(s). Muslims running for office counter that 180 degrees.

The response came before Israel could do anything. When England pulled out of the partitioned area, each had about half. Egypt, Jordan, Syria at least invaded to try and eradicate the Jewish parts. They lost most of the battles and were ejected from most of the land - aside from Gaza and parts of the West Bank. Jordan and Egypt kept those.

And that disqualified the whole measure.

But when the Republicans say, "can we see the signatures you deemed invalid? Cause we have a stack of affidavits from those folks who say they did sign."

It is actually worse than that. I saw video of the meeting where the Dems accept that there are enough valid signatures, that the disputed ones are correct, but you see they were *tardy* and because an arbitrary deadline wasn't meant, gosh, there's just nothing we can do.

To put it another way: "We completely blew it on matching your signature, and when you found out you put together a notarized affidavit, but you didn't react *fast enough* to us falsely disqualifying your signature."

That is their legal argument.

Correction Jews vote about 4 to 1 for Democrats. Their vote is concentrated in blue states, so they are not a pivotal voting bloc in most elections. Jews are much more important in terms of fundraising than voting for both parties.

Nessel, who is a public drunk and reminds one of Lindsay Clancey in her warmth and charm, is vile, but she's not stupid. A lot more Jewish Democrats believe in global warming than Judaism. None of her audience want an icky Republican to win, so the appeal to save the planet gives them cover to vote for team blue no matter who.

The terms helped bring on the depression, though. Reparations are fine when you're an Enlightenment Monarchy getting a few boxes of gold bars for the treasury, but in modern banking it created all sorts of economic distortions and destroyed the mark, which radicalized the middle class.

The US saw how stupid it was and pulled out of the Rhineland early. So yes, it was dumb because enforcement was expensive and a waste of time and since anyone with a brain knew that at some point the garrisons were going to leave, pissing off the Germans to the nth degree was suicidal.

The Germans definitely had a beef on the war guilt clause. Everybody had some blame, and the Russians had the most.

Serbia was asshoe, far in excess of the Russians. The Serbs had been troublemakers in the Balkans for generations, culminating in the two Balkans Wars immediately preceeding WWI and then poking the bear by assassinating the one Hapsburg who had some small bit of sympathy towards Serbia and the other Balkan nations.

One year ago today, Donald Trump began an unauthorized campaign of lethal military strikes on alleged drug boats.
More than 200 people are now dead. The administration still has not provided evidence to justify these extrajudicial killings.
America needs a serious counter-narcotics strategy that targets drugs like fentanyl, disrupts drug trafficking and reduces demand in our communities.
Pete Hegseth will be held accountable for these lawless boat bombings.

Lindsay Clancy Trial: 11 to One In Favor of ... Full Acquittal, With a Single Juror Hanging on For a Conviction?

I don't understand what's going on.

It's the defense attorney who says he wants the juror excluded for refusing to follow the judge's orders about what "reasonable doubt" means.

So... does this mean that 11 jurors are voting to acquit and one lone juror is insisting on a conviction? And the other jurors are claiming that the juror is inserting a "more likely than not" standard over the more stringent "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard?

And how could you even say that this is just a matter of feeling that the prosecution is slightly more persuasive than the defense? Were they all absent the day they presented evidence?

The defense lawyer claims this juror keeps "ignoring the law" and will not accept the judge's rules as to the threshold of evidence required to convict.

This is 11 to one for acquittal, and women are officially allowed to commit murder if they have the grumpies.

I'm more sure now, it's 11 to acquit and one to convict, the defense wants to get the one "convict" vote off the jury so he can get a 12-0 acquittal. If the lone juror stays on the jury and does not flip, it goes to a new trial, tho the prosecution will just strike a deal.

Was it murder? Yes.
Was she insane when she did it? I'm not privy to that. Maybe that's the objection...he/she thinks she wasn't insane.

44 I'm more sure now, it's 11 to acquit and one to convict, the defense wants to get the one "convict" vote off the jury so he can get a 12-0 acquittal. If the lone juror stays on the jury and does not flip, it goes to a new trial, tho the prosecution will just strike a deal.

56 Beyond a reasonable doubt she killed her kids. The defense has to prove the insanity plea that she didn't know right from wrong. She sent her husband away because she knew he would stop her, which indicates she knew it was wrong. She's guilt. Convict her.

It seems to me that that assessment of reasonable doubt is a personal one, and I am not wholly convinced that such claims are not merely opportunistic fakery to avoid prison myself.

I don't know why you would then instruct such a juror that it is not about removing ALL possible doubt, unless that is merely defense attorney puffery.

I agree that a lot of men have kinda gone overboard, and are no longer joking about repealing the 19th but most of were really caught off guard by the overwhelming insanity of ordinary women regarding this case. And its not just the fringes. Tik Tok Brain has really rotted a lot of women's minds. Even ShoeOnHead was losing her stuff over the reactions.

It it even a large minority of women? No. But its WAY TOO FREAKING MANY.

Its like women finding out that it seems like 7 out of 10 men on social media think that if a guy gets really lonely then rape isn't all that bad and we should have sympathy for that lonely, horny guy and besides she probably raped herself anyway.

Yes, there is a lot of evidence she planned it all and that she probably intended to kill herself but bungled it.

Some people think she believed her husband was having an affair and this was all an elaborate revenge ploy.

But let's be clear -- "insane" by the legal definition that she did not know it was wrong.

This is hard to swallow since all her plans were to evade detection and avoid punishment.

I think this is where I get to remind everyone about all those people who were posting those meme images of the three men being the only ones to try to uphold justice.

If the holdout wants not guilty by reason of insanity, and the rest want life in prison, you all owe an apology to at least 8 of the women on the jury.

If the holdout wants life in prison, and the other 11 want not guilty by reason of insanity, you owe everyone an apology for assuming all the men would be more interested in justice than... whatever they were interested in.

139 I heard Andrew Branca talk a bit about why Massachusetts is a bit of an outlier legally that may help Lindsay Clancy get away with this. Apparently a bunch of attorneys and judges write draft laws (model penal code) for states to consider and adopt, and their draft standard for insanity defense is very permissive and Lefty, and Massachusetts is one of the only states to adopt it.

The burden is on the prosecution to prove the defendant was legally competent (unlike most states where the defense must prove insanity to the jury) and:
A defendant is not criminally responsible if, at the time of the offense, they had a mental disease or defect and, as a result, lacked substantial capacity either:
to appreciate the criminality (or wrongfulness) of their conduct, or
to conform their conduct to the requirements of the law.

If you mean that any distance between the DNC and DSA is fake and gay, so the Party will ultimately lend AMES its fraud machine, I see no reason to disagree. I also would not necessarily expect that to be enough to put him over the top.

As I understand it, there's basically a dial to the machine, different levels of fraud for whether risk exposure makes the operatives feel a rush or just dread. I don't have any personal experience with Michigan, but I think outside of Muslim-majority and college-dominated precincts, AMES will just get perfunctory standard fraud services, and I'm skeptical that will overcome his personal shortcomings.

And then, a few months later, he had his law license back.

She was taking a cocktail of drugs which no doctor would ever recommend taking all at once. She could have believed that her husband was fucking a cat girl from Beta Centauri and that her kids were secretly possessed by half the zutts who banged Muhammad's squeaker.
But it doesn't matter. If some white thug does a bunch of angel dust and runs into a bunch of cops with a machete screaming I AM A GOLDEN PHARAOH, and gets plugged, nobody sane is going to defend him.

There is a segment of young women who were raised as princesses, got everything they ever wanted, coasted through life, then got some responsibilities and have thrown a tantrum for years about how unjust it all is and men are to blame.

I am no parent but did really like the guy I read who said that its tempting to raise your daughter as a princess protected from everything but then you aren't readying her for life and will make her more miserable as a result. You don't raise her like a boy but she's gotta face tough times and scary things at least a little to get used to the idea.

Duke is 100% correct. There is simply too large a number of women to handwave this away. We're even seeing a handful of regular "conservative" posters seeking to blameshift away from Clancy or deflect by attacking men for calling out the cultural insanity we're observing in real time.

For decades women have been allowed to kill their own children at their most defenseless and innocent. Millions dead. If this culture allows that, and in fact APPLAUDS it. Claims it as a RIGHT, then how can it surprised when the champions of infanticide want to move the goal line to toddlercide. Why would they not want more power after you have given them the taste.

Her last Fox Business show, “Mornings with Maria,” was on Sept. 3. The show will transition to a new program, “Mornings with FOX Business,” with rotating hosts, the company said.

yeah its like the girls who think they can beat up a man, and get into a fight with one. When they wake up they realize that life isn't like in those movies no matter how many 'self defense' videos you wanted.

I was raised to not hit girls, ever, for any reason. But I see these videos of a girl just gone nuts, screaming the worst insults and hitting and kicking guys, chasing after them as the man tries to elude until he finally clocks her. I mean... what was he supposed to do?

282 Some good news?

Edgerton, Kansas

The city of Edgerton, Kansas, is suing residents who organized a citizen petition to ban high-impact data centers. The residents had submitted a petition proposing an ordinance that would prohibit such facilities. The Johnson County Election Office reportedly verified that they had collected more than twice the required number of signatures.

Instead of putting the measure to a vote, the city filed suit against the organizers, including Carrie Schmidt, Kimberly Twente, and the nonprofit Public Trust Collective. The city argues that the petition is legally and factually defective and is asking the court to invalidate it.

Why assume pedophilia is strictly a male thing? And pedophiles go where the kids are. Where better than a school?

Had a horndog teacher in Jr. High. He was really a perv. Liked to have the girls sit on his lap. Total creep. I believe he retired at full pension and age. Nothing was ever done to get rid of him.

I suspect many people have the same stories.

I wonder how that tilts if you factor in abortion.

We don't charge them for murder b/c they didn't have the mental intent to kill their kids. Sometimes, we don't charge them at all.

Being insane doesn't eliminate intent. It might eliminate understanding but you still did it, on purpose.

This is like the porn business. Guys' porn is sold behind a counter, behind a screen, in shady places. Women's porn is sold in the airport as a "bodice ripper."

Men's porn is shameful and read in secret, they hide the magazine. Women read their porn right out on the beach in public.

Because she was so mentally disturbed she didn't think of that. But sometimes mentally disturbed people are very calculating, like when she did research on strangulation and lied to her counselors, and shopped for drugs. Basically whatever she did or failed to do is unfalsifiable evidence she's not mentally competent.

389 Her defense attorney is widely regarded as a elite trial lawyer—among less than 1% of attorneys in North America named to the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers.

The defense team presented medical experts stating she suffered from severe postpartum psychosis and was compelled by auditory hallucinations. (Of course THAT COMMUNITY doesn't want to be indicted via the trial.)

On Monday morning, lawyer Reddington publicly discussed comments made by Nancy Grace over the weekend.

He requested that a specific juror be removed, claiming they refused to follow the law regarding reasonable doubt. Judge William Sullivan denied this request and ordered the full 12-person jury to continue deliberating.

Reportedly, (CNN) when Reddington was asked by reporters how he felt about a potential retrial, confidently responded, “Bring it.”

Bet those jurors are known.

NHS UK: The most severe symptoms of Postpartum psychosis tend to last 2 to 12 weeks. It can take 6 to 12 months or more to recover completely from the condition.

Lindsay Clancy looks deranged.

She suffered a Jefferson burst fracture when she fell to the ground; most people can successfully recuperate.

.Sheryl Lynn Massip (1987): A California jury convicted a mother of second-degree murder after she claimed postpartum psychosis, though the judge later set the verdict aside and she was ultimately found insane

So, in the Catholic Church, a sin may be mortal or it may be venial, but it is still a sin.

For a sin to be mortal, it must be a serious matter (not a trivial one), you must have full consent of your will (not coerced, or crazy), and you must know it is a sin in the first place.

Otherwise, it may be venial, which is not cause for exclusion from the Beatific Vision.

That's why most suicides now get a Catholic funeral and burial, because one needs to be crazy to commit the act itself. Not all, but most.

That also does not mean one is exempt from criminal punishment for actions. Often the granting of absolution is tied to turning yourself into the cops and taking your civil punishment. No murderer would be absolved without facing the civil music.

Carl Benjamin when talking about the Clancy Cult women brought up a story from Plutarch and the Ancient Greece city of Miletus around 272 B.C.

A young maiden committed suicide by hanging and it became a social trend for the young women of the city to hang themselves (because of all the attention they received).

It went on for awhile and nobody could find a way to stop the girls until a city ordinance was passed that from hence forward any woman who committed suicide would have her naked body carried through the marketplace with the rope still around her neck and then her body would be hung to rot for all to see.

The suicide spree ended immediately.

Lindsay Clancy, recently released from custody after prosecutors declined to re-try her, miraculously recovered use of her legs. Doctors said they didn't believe it was possible to recover from her paralysis, saying it is a miracle.

435 We absolutely need to get rid of that "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea, and replace it with "guilty, and insane."

And get rid of the "not competent to stand trial". I don't care how nuts you are, you don't need to know what is going on. Sane people don't know what is going on in a trial half the time. This is about justice, not how well you figure out what is happening, we hire experts to represent us for a reason.

436 I would say unreal but is Assachsets.

Jury intimidation by the crazy woman yesterday taking photos should have been reason enough for a mistrial. Plus the two? female jurors who wore pink proudly to unite with the crazy women outside.

Fair trial my fat arse.

Is it a common thing for a defense attorney to ask for the removal of a juror because they disagree with the defense?

This "mother," at the very least, should be locked up in a mental hospital for the rest of her life. And I hope sees the sweet faces of her own children she snuffed out every time she closes her eyes.

Her "suicide" was faked. Then to find out her mother or MIL helped daily, plus a nanny, plus the older two kids in daycare/preschool...well, that slanted me further away from her postpartum psychosis when the baby was 8mo old. She had plenty of help vs normal mothers. Plenty of time to rest for those 8mo.

She's intelligent enough to fake whatever answers she gave.

I read the first things she said to her husband, as she lay on the ground, were if her legs were straight. Not of her children she just killed.

In ICU one of her first comments was to ask if she had an attorney. Not grief. Thinking of #1.

No, it's 29 more, as of today. Was 27 two days ago. I didn't save the list but it was floating around.

Remains to be seen if this causes a social earthquake bigger than Kirk getting shot, or not. I'd say about 50% of my broader social circle (of which there are basically zero moonbats; those are banished to "people I know professionally, or family we don't talk to" at best) are currently permanently ejecting at least one woman out of their lives on account of this trial.

Between this and the Kirk assasination, virtually all of them have gone zero tolerance for lefties and various types of crazies. No communication, no socializing, no aid, 100% cut off. Maybe give them a second chance if they come back years later admitting they were batshit.

Posted by: janmarch at September 03, 2026 05:16 PM (7iM56)

472 She needs to be locked away forever.

But what does that say about the medical community, even the hospital that employed her? She had been an unstable mess for quite a while prior to killing the three children.

She's really no better than the mom who recently shot her young son in the face, again to punish the father.

If Clancy is locked away for killing the children, does that "say" anything about women who have multiple abortions, and late term abortions - and the providers?

Free, Clancy could become a heroine to unstable mothers, unstable women everywhere. She could also be someone to drag out for "women's healthcare" and even the 2028 presidential campaign.

Prepare for another trial rather than let her walk free.

And while I'm certainly not a lawyer, the prosecutors need to toughen up and "say those children's names" constantly. Show pictures of them alive as often as possible. Talk about pre-school if Cora and/or the oldest son attended. Have family, pre-school teachers talk about the children.

Do as the street learned to do, make them the victims and make them real.

475 After the massacre at Nova festival Oct 7th, we saw leftists swan dive into full-on support of terrorism because admitting it was an atrocity would mean saying killing jews was bad. Prior to that, there was always a little pretend fig-leaf used "Of course I don't want the jews wiped out, I just want FAIRNESS for the Palestinians!" Oct 7th showed that, yeah, when given the choice, they would indeed choose wiping out all the jews, not just watching and saying nothing, but actual full on support of the massacre.

What we are seeing now is the same mental process for killing babies. Leftists never truly beleived their semantic gymnastics about "unviable fetus" or "just an embryo" or "clump of cells". In their minds, abortion was about "killing human babies" all along. There is no separation between unborn baby and born baby or even toddler. It's always been about a deep resentment towards the existance of children in general.

Children are the ultimate "my actions have consequences" for leftists, and since the democratic party's underlying ethos is "you can, and SHOULD have a consquence-free life!", they will fight to the death to justify these murders.

And therein lies the problem.

I do think she was nuts. I think she did it. I think the failures that led to the tragedy include incredibly negligent medical care and, frankly, a highly irresponsible husband. That says nothing about whether she should be convicted or in jail. But if you actually cared about stopping this in the future, you would focus on the *sane* people who could have intervened and chose not to.

This is like the guy who stabbed Iryna Zarutska. Is he nuts? Yes, although I don't care about that for punishment. But the failures of the DAs and judges will make a thousand more Iryna Zarutskas, and fixing that problem is at least as important as convicting Decarlos Brown.

The problem, though, is that right-leaning men hate left-leaning women so much that they end up not caring at all about the actual dead children or grossly misdiagnosed mother. They just want to screw over the AWFLs - not actually fix even a part of the problem.

Her eyes were dead before her children were. Look at any photo of her smiling. Eyes are the window to the soul and hers are dead. Her smile does not meet her eyes.

I read that some blame the father somehow. For getting her pregnant the third time...um, she helped?

Regardless if she gets off free from this, she should be given a tubal ligation so she's never able to conceive again. She should also only be around any children without supervision.

Which means she doesn't go free. She is confined/locked up in a mental hospital, correct?

As I understand it, no one*, including her, or her defense attorney is saying she litterally didn't do it. They all admit she did it, but she was crazy from post birth psychosis.

488 There no way to know which direction the 11-1 is. The defense counsel's actions shouldn't guide your thinking, because defense counsel often do things for reasons other than the obvious (preserving an issue for appeal, attempting to manipulate public opinion, etc.).

I was a criminal trial practitioner (prosecution, defense, and trial judge) for 15 years, and in 100% of the cases I tried where there was an issue with a juror following the reasonable doubt instruction, it was always a juror holding out for acquittal despite overwhelming evidence of guilt. Things like, "I know his face is clear on video showing him committing the crime, but how do I know that video wasn't edited".

The only time you would ever see it go the other way is if there was very weak evidence and a juror was still holding out for a conviction, but that's not the state of the evidence in this case.

It's far more likely that a juror is wrongly attempting to hold the prosecution to a "beyond all doubt" standard.

Or drugs that I don't know if Clancy took while prescribed. She seemed to do her own thing in her quest for misery and murder. Given a lot and nothing changed her ideation.

As in all murders before suicide I have to wonder why they can't just off themselves and leave innocents alone. This is demonic behavior vs a simple suicide.

I found this about intentional and homicide of children in the 1900's:"... historical criminological data show that children were far more likely to die from unsanitary living conditions, lack of medical care, or accidents than intentional criminal homicide."

No social media. Women too busy to mope around? Impoverished and happy to see half of the children they birth make it to adults with all the diseases?

I thought of Dolly Parton's parents. A two room cabin with 11kids, one after another. If anyone deserved post partum depression it would be women like this. Why were they not killing their kids, I wonder. This was the norm.

This is a modern phenomenon.

490 It's far more likely that a juror is wrongly attempting to hold the prosecution to a "beyond all doubt" standard.

Yes, but if that were the case, why would the *defense* attorney be trying to get him removed from the jury?

Posted by: EFG at September 03, 2026 06:43 PM (a7fLE)

491 The defense counsel doesn't know which direction the juror is leaning.

As I said above, don't attempt to impute logic to every defense move, because defense counsel often do things for reasons other than the obvious.

Posted by: Jed at September 03, 2026 07:10 PM (sAPai)

492 And I should mention, the defense counsel likely knows that no judge would ever grant his motion, so he can make his and be apoplectic about the ruling with no real consequences.

Harvard/Harris Schmoll: Republicans Take the Lead in the Midterms with Likely Voters, +2%

Democrats have a "thin" 2 point advantage with all voters, but the common wisdom is that Democrats must win by 3-4 to win the House.

Among likely voters, it's Republicans with that thin two-point edge.

Harris tops the Democratic field among White, Black, Hispanic, and Asian voters in Harvard-Harris poll
Black Dems: Harris +46
Hispanic Dems: Harris +20
White Dems: Harris +19
Asian Dems: Harris +2

Didn't she sell herself as an Asian?

Ed Morrissey:

As Alex Thompson reported on Twitter/X, Harris easily leads the field with 42% among Democrat respondents, having picked up five points since last month. Gavin Newsom trails badly in second place with only 18%, dropping six points from July. Everyone else is in single digits; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Pete Buttigieg, Jon Ossoff, and Josh Shapiro are in a virtual tie for third, scoring between seven and nine percent each. Harris also has commanding leads among black and Hispanic Democrats.

Morrissey also notes the politician with the highest favorable ratings, and it's a surprise:

Harris comes in third, Trump edges her out for second, and the politician with the highest favorables is... RFKJr.

So the media's ability to drive hate at people they don't like is now, basically, gone.

Putin comes in last? Quick, Tuq'r, do another sit-down ball-washing.

I have a quick thought about RFKJr. Give this as much consideration as I gave it, which is none.

The parties have flipped as far as trust in institutions. I know that part is obvious. Leftists used to be the ones always screaming that America was a rigged game for the oligarchs and Big Corporations are crushing the common man.

But now, of course, conservatives have woken up to how absolutely foul -- and subverted by Marxists -- our institutions are. Meanwhile, thanks to Barack Obama, the CIA and FBI have been purged of most conservatives, who were replaced, of course, with Boomer Marxists.

Here's the slightly interesting part about this: This is why the media absolutely lost their minds over Trump and the Unbearable Threat of the New Right. The media had always coddled and supported leftwing revoiutionaries, of course, supporting Bill Ayers' "rehabilitation" and telling us that left-wing rioting was "the voice of the unheard." They feel that any violence committed by the left may be regrettable but is Useful in the Greater Scheme of Things.

But the possibility of the right becoming revolutionary? That's just a Threat to the Very Foundations of Our Republic. Were the right to become violent, that violence would just be a complete negative. There would be no useful "lessons" for the ruling class to learn. Riots would not be the voice of the unheard, but the voice of the deplorables.

Conservatives aren't allowed to talk about a rigged system and being oppressed! That's our grift! Conservatives are supposed to eat their slop and say thank-you!

It's the job of conservatives to shore up the pillars upholding civilization! It's our job to undermine those pillars and bring them down! If conservatives stop propping civilization up, it will crash from all of our endless subversions and treachery, and then we'll have to learn how to hunt!

Now, as to RFKJr.'s particular ambit: As a conservative, I used to roll my eyes and laugh off the hippies who would talk about Big Pharma and Big Ag and Big Processed Food putting out products that made us sicker, not healthier.

You probably did too. (And you might still roll your eyes.)

But for many on the right, our skepticism of our corporate overlords and governmental institutions is now at its highest point in American history, and that includes intense skepticism, if not outright hostility, towards Big Pharma and the bullshit "health" experts.

And the corrupt corporations whose C-suites are now dominated by woke civilization-razing leftists.

Anyway, RFKJr.'s brand of health-nannyism would have been a non-starter on the right ten years ago but now many of us are at least curious about it, or even supportive.

And even on the left, many of the Health Nuts have not abandoned their skepticism about Big Phrama and Big Ag just because the Democrat Party now tells them that's Traitor-Talk and they must worship Anthony Fauci and Wear the Fucking Face-Mask forever.

And anyway, RFKJr's form of health-nannying doesn't feel scoldy or even like nannying. He has Some Questions. I do too.

And this feels fun, not dour and woke like Michelle Obama's bullshit:

Harvard-Harris' summer polling since 2018 has shown to be more accurate than their final polling. Off by an average of like 1% or less every election (their finals are closer to about 3-4% off).

The vast majority of summer polling is response bias bullshit at the best of times, but HH seems to have gotten the secret sauce.

Does that mean it's right this year? Not necessarily. Best pollsters become terrible pollsters the next cycle all the time (I think it was from 2010 to 2012 that Rasmussen went from absolute best to one of the worst).

But, I'd take this polling result with less salt than almost any other poll we have today.

55 Mark Penn (who runs the poll) appears to have an axe to grind. He was Hillary Clinton’s chief strategist in 2008 and apparently was blamed for her loss. When she ran again, he wasn’t asked back and that seems to have bothered him and he turned to Trump.

The 44% figure seems so unlikely because that’s like average for a President these days and would suggest he hasn’t suffered from Iran. It actually makes me more confident in Dems winning the House because if at 44% Trump it’s R+2 and a lot of polls have Trump at 32 or even 30, were we to split the difference at like 38-39 it still sounds like D+4-5

Doomers will accept it this move the goal posts when it’s D+8 on Election Day.

Can’t wait to watch their September/October polls magically swing D+6 when they’re actually getting graded or risk getting deleted from every polling aggregate site.

She dropped out of the 2020(?) primary before the first vote was cast because she's terrible. Dems blame her for blowing 1 billion dollars and losing to Hitler 2.0. They say the US isn't ready to elect a Black woman because of her. She's a proven loser, and those rarely come back. She's popular NOW, because of name recognition, but once the actual primary season starts, and Dems see actual energetic, exciting, non-retarded (for a Dem) candidates, she'll be tossed onto the dustbin of destiny.

161 But for many on the right, our skepticism of our corporate overlords and governmental institutions is now at its highest point in American history, and that includes intense skepticism, if not outright hostility, towards Big Pharma and the bullshit "health" experts.

For me it only took a fee decades of pattern recognition.

It all began by noticing the amount of scientific studies out there that reveal this or that food or medicine is better for your health or treatment and then a few years to a decade later this or that food or medicine has been determined to be bad for your health or treatment.

Combine that with the insane amounts of chemicals and preservatives in our food supplies that have gotten so bad that it seems like you can taste the stuff, and COVID, and as a result I don’t trust anybody from the FDA to Pfizer to McDonalds to the local MD.

As you say, ace, a lot of people on the right have long since given up on giving the benefit of the doubt to woke corporations and none of us ever trusted government to begin with.

All you are really left with is local small business, friends, family, and yourself to trust, and even that’s not a guarantee in this day & age.

163 Kamala has explained that when she and her sister visited their black Stanford professor father, the parents in the neighborhood wouldn't let their kids play with the Harris' "because they were black".

The lesbos across the street that adopted a black baby girl told some of our neighborhood that we FORBID our daughter from playing with her (they're 4 or 5 years apart) because she's black. Our daughter didn't like playing with her because she was taught nothing about sharing and playing well with others, took all her toys and tried to take them home.

Our next door neighbors are black and have a key to our house because we're such close friends........

People need to understand: 2020 is not now.

Biden was an embarrassment who had dropped out of two previous presidential elections, one time for being a plagiarist. He was widely considered stupid and wrong about everything. And then he became Obama's VP and his decision to run in 2020 put him on top of the pack no matter what he said or did.

Kamala is the same way. The black electorate is behind her in such numbers, and the black electorate is such an outsized portion of the D primary electorate, all while the rest of base are at least open to her, that she can't lose.

Everyone already saw her be a mess in terms of things like speaking. That's baked in the cake. It won't negatively affect her at all.

Hell, she'll probably skip the debates anyway.

Dems need a +8-10 on the generic and Trump at sub-40 to take the House.

205 About the RFKjr. opinion. This is my one true conspiracy theory and a hill for me to die on. I admit in advance that my position (strongly held) lacks proper documentation, proof, or support. But, it's MINE...and here it is:

Various food products and some bathroom items are laced with additives and chemicals that lower testosterone. This is not happenstance. This is purposeful (and a behaviorial control mechanism), and is beginning to become more apparent in our society. Water sources of the west are largely treated with some form of Flouride, as are dental accessories (tooth paste). Flouride is shown to shut down the natural production of testosterone.

And what happerns...Beta Males, "Transgenders", gay communities, more prevalent overt pedophiles....

So, yeah, I support Kennedy's efforts. I'd like to see more strict control of product inclusives, including unscheduled product studies.

I'm now officially a conspiracy nut....but face it, everything, every behavior, every trend has a catalyst.

Johnny Lupa was a bad dude. His friends called him Ace, but I called him Johnny. He liked to play with my leg hair in the pool, that went blond from the sun. I told him to knock it off, and there he was, outside waiting for me with his pack of ewoks.

294 It's happening.

Michigan Jews Turn Against El-Sayed

More than 400 Michigan Jewish Democrats and independents — including Democrat mega-donor Rob Orley — went public Wednesday with their support for GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers over Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.

"Many of us have been fiercely supportive of Democratic candidates and principles," the open letter says. "All of us have felt threatened and alienated by the politics and allies embraced by Abdul El-Sayed, which has included demonization of Jews, equivocation on terrorism, exclusion of Jewish Americans from public life, and expression of implacable hatred of the world’s only Jewish nation."

The statement adds that "Our vote for Mike Rogers does not require that we agree with him on every issue or that we support President Trump," so it isn't like all the signers are suddenly switching parties and donning MAGA hats.

But with the direction the Democrats are going these days, maybe that could change.

Obviously you cant really scientifically test these things, but just from anecdotes and what I saw, yes. Similar to what Obamacare did for Republicans in 2010.

I mean Dems certainly ran on it and did well. Republicans just ran from it.

After seeing this Clancy trial, I think we can safely say a whole lot of women like murdering children and think they should be able to do it really any time they want.

Apparently 1 juror refuses to listen to the judges instructions about the law.

334 "Judge William Sullivan read the jury a Tuey-Rodriguez instruction, encouraging them to continue working together toward a verdict and to remember it is their "duty to decide this case if you can do so conscientiously."

"Sending the jury back to deliberate again could force a hung jury if the deadlock continues, legal experts say."

"At that point, the judge has to declare a mistrial, unless he has the consent of the jury who would want to go out again, and that's rather doubtful," Boston-based criminal defense attorney Peter Elikann said in an interview with ABC News on Wednesday. "This is really it. This is kind of the final push."

If found not guilty due to insanity, the judge CAN have her committed to a state mental hospital. But, he doesn't have to.

And if she is sent to a mental hospital, she can be deemed OK to reenter society. Granted the prosecution gets a voice in those proceedings, but she could very well be free in 3-5yrs or less.

Well, sorry but the regulatory capture is real and horrifying. I suppose you could make a case for it, but at the end of the day, its pretty obvious that the most likely reason is that the people who are supposed to be riding herd on pharma are getting a reward for services rendered while supervising pharma. So, while your personal meetings may not have had on the agenda skirting public safety, one wonders why pharma would hire so many regulators into high paying jobs, if they weren't trying to skirt public safety. I mean I don't begrudge the guy who works at Lockheed Martin, but I won't agree with him that his company is completely legit either. Since they hire retired generals like they are savant business geniuses and they sure as hell aren't.

People and companies make mistakes.
But Big Pharma has a long track record.

Should all companies be painted with a broad brush? Probably not. Especially the smaller brands that make generics that have bern proven safe over decades.

I think pharmaceutical companies would do themselves a big favor by stopping the prescription medicine ads on TV.

In a former life I worked for an ad agency that had mostly Pharma clients.

I've been in meetings where we all signed very stringent NDAs and I did NOT like what I heard there - and these were their attempt to get me on board with branding their products! very upsetting to have to "sell" such things.

needless to say, my own kids didn't get those particular shots.

the rationale was beyond just banal-evil utilitarian. and they clearly felt it was morally positive!

so no, I do not trust the pharma nor the medical device industry. sorry.

I think this is where I get to remind everyone about all those people who were posting those meme images of the three men being the only ones to try to uphold justice.

If the holdout wants not guilty by reason of insanity, and the rest want life in prison, you all owe an apology to at least 8 of the women on the jury.

If the holdout wants life in prison, and the other 11 want not guilty by reason of insanity, you owe everyone an apology for assuming all the men would be more interested in justice than... whatever they were interested in.

And all the supposedly rational men (mostly on Insty) who were setting their hair on fire and encouraging each other to practice self-defense by assuming that all women are out to kill everyone they can get their hands on and therefore men should enslave them for everyone's safety can STFU and STFD.

Nah, they just get a new patent - say it has new features because of this slightly different molecule. Or a big one, is to do a combination of prior approved patented drugs in one pill.

I agree that a lot of men have kinda gone overboard, and are no longer joking about repealing the 19th but most of were really caught off guard by the overwhelming insanity of ordinary women regarding this case. And its not just the fringes. Tik Tok Brain has really rotted a lot of women's minds. Even ShoeOnHead was losing her stuff over the reactions.

It it even a large minority of women? No. But its WAY TOO FREAKING MANY.

447 Lefties yelp all the time about Big Oil and the "unseemly" profits they snag. I challenge them to "now do Big Pharma." For all the clout that Big Oil supposedly has, they have never gotten a Federal mandate that you MUST use their product or be cast out of society entirely, if not arrested and shot.

Big Pharma got a Federal mandate for their product. They also have jacked our vaccine schedule well beyond what any other nation has required. Big Pharma says "jump" and the whole medical community jumps. After all, nearly 50% of the NIH, FDA, and CDC funding comes from Big Pharma.

Yeah, you wanna talk about insane profits? Go talk about Big Pharma.

As Predicted: Tuq'r Qarlson Essentially Endorses Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed By Saying He Wouldn't Vote for His Opponent Mike Rogers "Even At Gunpoint" Because He's a "Tool of Israel"

Tuq'r's also been calling Ben Shapiro a Perfidious Jew who undermines America for Israel by pumping us full of pornography and gambling. The gambling, because Kalshi is a sponsor on Daily Wire, I guess?

I guess Tuq'r forgot his Arab business partner just led a huge investment into Polymarkets.

And porn? Ben Shaprio is weakening us with porn?

You mean his sister? Because that's the only thing remotely sexy about Shapiro.

Meanwhile, Tuq'r has tongue-bathed the balls of rapist, white slaver, and pornographer Andrew Tate, who's also gay-for-pay -- when men would pay to chat with the camgirl he broke using pimp "loverboy" tactics (including rape and beatings), Tate would pretend to be the camgirl and talk about s***ing their d**ks and betting them to f*** him up the a**.

Now that's what I call a patriot and a real man's man for today's youth to look up to.

Also, Tucker said last night, again, that I'm somehow pro-pornography. Here is the cover of a book I wrote in 2005, when I was 21, ripping into pornography and labeling it perhaps the greatest danger to America. And here is Tucker Carlson in Romania circle jerking a pornographer. pic.twitter.com/SevQJTx6sm

2) Of course he's a jihadi and he wants to kill all the Jews, but I'll take one jihadi out of 100 senators if it means we get 51 Democrats because we have to stop Trump because he's a literal NAZI!

Fuck Hasan but this is still not good. And it's fucking criminal that RFK has net favorability.

the most popular democrat right now Zohran Mamdani less favourable than benjamin netanyahu in this, who cares what republicans think, i guess he also got "hasan bump"

"The Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll is generally viewed by polling experts as a credible but controversial survey that leans toward a right-leaning or conservative bias..." No shit. AOC is -8, Netanyahu is -10? ICE is polling more favorable than almost every institution polled? this info is obviously dogshit.

In all seriousness, what kind of following does Tuq'r actually have? Are we propping him up as a mockable punching bag just for the lulz such that most of his audience are hate-watchers -- or does he actually have a significant audience of voters that he influences?
Posted by: zombie at September 03, 2026 01:26 PM (Av6i5)

Well he was such a Republicanish view on the MSM for decades, still pretends to be ultra super American, religious, traditional so the DNC / Commie Support is 0. He was always a bit off on the maverick/radical end of the Rs so GOPe support will be marginal. The Trump wing mostly have repudiated him or never watched him much. His pursuit of the lunatic fringe and bizarre statements probably lose him more US support than they gain.

We were told Abdul was going to romp in the primary and beat the cartoon he was running against by double digits. He barely won by 1 point. And all his votes came from college towns and his fellow muslims.

He's done nothing since the win to demonstrate to me he's a good candidate and he more than any candidate is tied to Piker with a noose. Rogers lost his last Senate race to Slotkin by 0.3% and I don't think Abdul is the candidate she was and she sucks.

190 Democrats are trying to hide the love most of their party has with extremists and in particular their hate for our country. That includes their fake polling that is meant to make people falsely believe they are reasonably.

Believe what they’ve been telling you for the last two years, not the op meant to convince you 3 months before an election they are totally reasonable people. They are not.

The entire Democrat party just voted in the past two days against a resolution that condemned communist and socialism, and on another against stacking the Supreme Court. If they seize power through their election fraud program it is exactly what they will do.

There's a non-crazy case to be made that Israel has taken the lead from the UK in terms of trying to influence us, but it's mostly because the UK is defunct for all intents and purposes. And I don't think PDT has been snake charmed about anything. Iran is about China, not Israel.

197 Here. While disabling Windows 11 from hijacking my machine liked a crazed Muslim terrorist, I asked Grok about TCN subscribers.

This was part of Groks answer.

The only hard look at the paid list came in spring 2026. OSINT researcher @weezerOSINT said tuckercarlson.com was on Supabase with row-level security off, so the public anon key in the page source could query subscriber profiles. The dump they described: 7,290 subscriber profiles and ~15,960 chat messages.

TCN patched it after the April 28 public post. UnHerd and others repeated “roughly 7,000.” Critics then treated that as “people who pay.” One reply claimed it looked like lifetime accounts, not necessarily all still billing. TCN has not published an official paid-member count.

Treat ~7,000 as a snapshot of registered site accounts around April 2026, not a certified current MRR figure. Even if it doubled or tripled since then, it is still tiny next to 18 million X followers.

I hope I contributed SOMETHING. Back to work.

324 Its always been endemic among the upper "classes" in the North East, and some lower class city folks, they just were more embarrassed to talk about it. The Marxist/Muslim terror alliance is bringing it out into the open.

I think no small part of it comes from the money being shut off by Trump and them getting it from Muslim nations instead. These are not people with principles, they will say what they are paid to say.

327 For months, Tucker Carlston is to MAGA as Hasan Pike is Democrats. (Apple Podcasts, EP 273: Hasan Piker is the Democrats' Tucker Carlson, only worse.)

Then Tucker Carlson is to MAGA as Hasan Piker is to El-Sayed.

Of late, now more refined: The New Neo, 'Tucker Carlton is to J.D. Vance as Hasan Piker is to Abdul el-Sayed.' Jewish Telegraphic Agency, 'Vance courts Jewish Republicans, but leaves Tucker Carlson ties unanswered.'
The Dispatch, "J.D. and Tucker, Abdul and Hasan."

Most of the high echelon women in Trump's administration were picked off and now, along with the continuous drumbeat against MAGA, it's time to go tooth and nail for J.D. Vance & then Pete Hegseth, too.

That's the next two years. And, hell, no, Piker won't be denounced.

332 J.D. Vance is seriously hurting his chances of being President Trump's successor by not dumping Carlson. I always suspected Carlson, and everyone else at Fox News, of being controlled opposition. I've thought that since the 2020 election and nothing I've seen since has made me have the slightest iota of doubt in that belief.

See how quickly Fox fired Maria Bartiromo for doing something to help President Trump. They ARE controlled opposition. They talk a good game but whenever the chips are down and the conservatives really need their backing, they're either nowhere to be found or in outright opposition.

DHS: An Ignored 1996 Clinton-Era Law Says That States Have to Report the Number of Illegals Receiving Federal Benefits Like SNAP. We're Going to Start Enforcing It Now.

The law was passed insincerely, I imagine, with both Clinton and corporate-owned fake "conservatives" pretending they didn't want to take American's tax payments and deliver them to foreign criminals.

But insincerely or not, political ploy or not, they passed it. There is no "We only passed this to con the rubes" exception to federal legislation. Look it up. I didn't, but I assume there's not one.

Finally, someone is going to actually enforce it.

States now must report undocumented immigrants to DHS or risk federal funding, DOJ says

* All states going forward must report undocumented immigrants known to be in a state to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or risk losing federal funding for programs meant to aid low-income individuals, the Department of Justice said in a new legal opinion.
* The DOJ, in issuing the opinion, revised the Office of Legal Counsel's prior opinion from 1998, which found that only specific state agencies that administered the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the Supplemental Security Income programs needed to provide information to federal immigration authorities.
* "When a state chooses to participate in TANF, it accepts the obligation to report illegal aliens in the United States," Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser said. "Tax dollars intended to help vulnerable Americans should not perversely encourage illegal entry into the United States, but rather should reinforce our laws and our borders."
...
The DOJ, in issuing the opinion, revised the Office of Legal Counsel's prior opinion from 1998, which found that only specific state agencies that administered the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the Supplemental Security Income programs needed to provide information to federal immigration authorities.
"Congress wrote this requirement plainly," Assistant Attorney General T. Elliot Gaiser of the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel, said in a statement.
"When a state chooses to participate in TANF, it accepts the obligation to report illegal aliens in the United States," Gaiser said. "Tax dollars intended to help vulnerable Americans should not perversely encourage illegal entry into the United States, but rather should reinforce our laws and our borders."
The DOJ in a statement Wednesday said the Office of Legal Counsel's Sept. 1 opinion "explains that Congress defined 'State' broadly in the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996."
"As a result, when a state accepts federal TANF or SSI funds, the entire state government -- including all component agencies -- is bound by federal law to share information with DHS about individuals the state knows to be not lawfully present," the DOJ said.
The new opinion only applies proactively, not to past enrollments in TANF and SSI.
All 50 states, the District of Columbia and several U.S. territories participate in both programs. Federal TANF funding grants top $16.4 billion annually, according to the DOJ.

California AG Rob Bonta says he will not comply with the law because Trump is changing the law by following the wording of the law.

Gigantic mutant slothbeast "Big Tish" James says she's "reviewing" the DOJ's demand, in between fabricating new rape charges against Trump.

Breccan F. Thies of The Federalist:

As The Federalist reported, the Clinton administration took numerous actions to pave the way for illegal aliens to come into the country, especially those who offer nothing to American society and were virtually guaranteed to leech off the welfare system.
That included trashing the "public charge" rule that had governed American immigration law for at least 100 years, which said that an immigrant should not be admitted into the country if he was unlikely to be able to take care of himself without government assistance.
Now it is estimated that 59 percent of illegal immigrant households are on at least one welfare program, and 52 percent of legal immigrant households are in the same position. Meanwhile, 39 percent of native-born Americans use at least one welfare program, which is still an enormous amount, but the fact remains that the programs are for Americans, not foreigners.

Related: Mexifornia received 80% of federal aid for illegals because they wrote their own rules to make illegals eligible.

California accounted for more than 80% of all federal welfare cash assistance provided to households headed by illegal immigrants in 2024, according to a new report from the Department of Health and Human Services.
The report found that $759 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families cash assistance was provided to 85,277 households nationwide in which a child qualified for benefits while a parent was living in the United States illegally.
No state came close to California's share of spending, with $617.5 million. The second-place recipient, New York, received just $47.5 million--less than one-tenth of California's total.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, was created to provide temporary assistance to low-income families. TANF recipients are generally required to work and are limited to 60 months of benefits over a lifetime.
Because parents living in the country illegally are generally ineligible for TANF benefits, assistance in these cases is provided on behalf of eligible children living in the household.
Unlike traditional TANF recipients, these child-only cases are not subject to federal work requirements or the program's five-year lifetime limit, allowing benefits to continue until a child turns 18.
The report's authors noted that the arrangement creates a disparity between American families receiving TANF and immigrant households receiving child-only benefits.
"The result is a striking disparity: needy American families are held to TANF's central work and time-limit rules, while households headed by immigration-status-ineligible parents can receive child-only cash assistance under a structure that bypasses those rules and can allow support to continue from birth through age 18."
freestar
The report estimated that affected households received an average of roughly $742 per month, or about $8,900 annually.
Between 2001 and 2024, approximately $18.3 billion in TANF assistance was distributed through these child-only cases, while their share of the total TANF caseload increased from 5.8% to 10%.

@iAnonPatriot
SNAP and Section 8 cost U.S. taxpayers $138 billion last year, and that is before Medicaid, SSI, and the rest. Food is expensive in part because 42 million people are buying groceries with a card someone else funded.
The damage is not only the bill. When tens of millions of people organize their month around a government check, they stop voting on the country and start voting on the benefit. Borders, crime, and debt become background noise next to the one question that matters to them: who will keep the groceries and the rent voucher flowing.
Milton Friedman put it plainly: you cannot simultaneously have free immigration and a welfare state.

PROOF Democrats have lied about illegals getting every benefit America offers, including free housing
California resident "I used to work for the county in social services" for the state
She's exposing it all, she says they qualify illegals for all benefits without any social security numbers
"I used to work in the social services department, so any public benefits, we're talking Medicaid, food stamps, cash aid, disability, unemployment, veteran service, housing I did all the things"
"Here's the loophole. If somebody without a Social Security number, so somebody who's undocumented, applies for benefits, And they do qualify for benefits, by the way. They qualify for
- Full Medicaid
- Housing
- Migrant Head Start. That's fully paid childcare
- If these people have any kids that are US citizens, meaning that they're born here, then they apply for benefits for their kids
- $1,200 per kid plus $275 per person cash food stamps.
That doesn't include housing, all the other benefits they get. And here in California, they don't even care. They don't even hide it.
I used to have women and some men that would come in straight up with their nails did, their hair done blonde, bleach blonde, Gucci bags, Gucci glasses, driving up on Escalades, chewing gum super loud, saying, "Where's my welfare check?" I used to live in a neighborhood where 70% of the people around me were undocumented, and man, did they live the life. New cars, parties every weekend"
"Meanwhile, US citizens, we don't qualify for sickity shit. We don't qualify for nada, nothing. It was so common where the women or the moms in my community that were undocumented, they wouldn't work.
They would have their own community of stay-at-home moms while US citizen moms would have to go out and work because we can't afford to live"
"We need to do better. The state of California needs to do better. We all need to get on the same page here"
Here's more information not mentioned:
- California expanded full-scope Medi-Cal to undocumented adults regardless of status, covering doctor visits, hospital care, dental, and more. As of 2025, over l.7 MILLION undocumented illegals were enrolled
- Undocumented parents qualify for benefits on behalf of their US citizen anchor babies. This includes CalFresh (food stamps), cash aid, and up to $1,200+ per child plus extras
- California runs Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants. This is a 100% state-funded program giving monthly cash to aged or disabled non-citizens ineligible for federal SSI due to immigration status
You are literally paying for illegals to retire in America and get checks forever
You should be furious.

50 Uncle Sams knows who is here legally or illegally because they PAY TAXES!!!!!!! Yet they don’t qualify for welfare benefits

Undocumented immigrants who hold jobs that are taxed are what..? Paying. Taxes. They contribute billions, but thanks to the hate that is in many uneducated Americans hearts, they will be gone and the "well" will dry up

The States do not know where undocumented immigrants are. When you get a driver's license "not for federal purposes" no one asks you about your immigration status. this is again flooding the zone with shit to make States handing over voter rolls to the regime.

It’s fake news to scare immigrants do not believe this. New York State pays so much tax for the federal government that literally every southern states will go hungry if New York stops paying taxes to the federal gov.

I’m confused, because illegal residents are unable to apply for any type of assistance and would be stupid to do so?

lllinois has some really robust laws against information sharing with ICE. State law explicitly limits when immigration status can be recorded. I can’t see how a court could order Illinois to release records.

54 NY is running the same exact scam as California. You can see that illegals are flocking to the state because they’ve promised them the taxpayer dollars and benefits will keep flowing. It’s sickening to watch American citizens who are elderly, disabled or just down on their luck get pushed to the aside because of Democrats love for illegal immigrants. These illegals are also brazen in their grab of benefits. You can see them in the grocery stores loading up their carts on the taxpayers dime while elderly people are picking from the weekly sale flyer. What people don’t realize is that taxpayer funded giveaway is driving up the price of housing, food and everything else they consume for Americans. It’s also the case in NJ. The entire op by Democrats is disgraceful. It’s also designed to get their votes. Why else would you do this to your alleged constituents and fight any attempt to secure elections?

69 Step #1) It's illegal for undocumented immigrants to vote, and it's not happening.

Step #2) There are a few undocumented immigrants voting, but it's not enough to change electoral outcomes.

Step #3) There are undocumented immigrants voting in a few cities and states, but they pay taxes and deserve representation.

Step #4) It's racist to deny undocumented immigrants the right to vote.

91 Why did it take two years to realize that the 1996 welfare reform bill did this?
These guys don't even know what the existing laws are and they're eager to add more? Dopes.
Anyways, the democrat argument for illegal immigration (the lie they tell us) is that we need the labor, nobody white wants to do the jobs, they grow the economy because everyone needs a car a tv a refrigerator...
What actually happens is they use so much in benefits that would have gone to citizens that no amount of labor-added value can make up for what it lost, at least not from the governments ledgers.

There's the rub. Those illegals who do add to the economic output add to business earnings more than the tax coffers, so we the people subsidize not only the illegals but the businesses who profit from them.

When someone says, "Congress must cough up massive amounts of money to pay for my problem", I hear that as, "you, Oglebay, must cough up massive amounts of money for me, you stupid, useless hick."

The state takes may money from me at gunpoint, rams the butt of the gun into my ribs and laughs as I writhe in the dirt. Then the money goes into some program that does nothing I think needs doing just so it can be laundered back into the pockets of the state mafia.

97 Up until the 1970's, the Democrats base was primarily blue collar, white unionized voters and their families.
Then, the Democrats abandoned those voters for urban Blacks that were dependent on Welfare and could be reliably counted on to vote Democrat.
Now, the Democrats have deserted urban Blacks and built a new base of Brown immigrants, legal or not, that they shovel untold billions of tax dollars towards, in many cases thru fraud. This permanent underclass provides cheap services to rich progressives.

Federal immigration officials are making their presence known across Indianapolis.

Videos appearing to show ICE agents making arrests are spreading online.

U.S. Rep. André Carson, who represents Indianapolis, is also asking more information about the reported ICE operations.

Carson is asking officials to provide his office with numbers on who is detained, their criminal histories, ICE’s current policies and where detainees are being held.

He's also asking federal immigration officials whether local police departments are helping with the effort.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said its officers are not assisting with ICE operations.

It's tempting to think of this invasion of illegals as the fault of Shitpants Biden. But it's been going on for decades. Literally every word we were ever told about illegals is a lie. Every word.

At this point, I would bet almost any amount of money that fully 1/4 of all the people living in this country are illegals. Not joking. In some places like CA, when I travel there I wonder who isn't an illegal.

139 I'm gonna weigh in on this as my wife is a legal immigrant.

Her parents came her from Canada. When my wife's parents moved to American, they had to have a sponsor who took financial responsibility for them in case the job my late father-in-law had lined up didn't work out.

In other words, the sponsor was on the financial hook if my in-laws became deadbeats. The system at the time did not allow immigrants to collect from the welfare system.

The poorest state in the U.S., Mississippi, still has a higher per-capita GDP than the United Kingdom, which is heavily goosed by international finance center London. Imagine if New York came in last, despite having Wall Street! We could end all Federal welfare (not social insurance) and student loan programs, leaving them entirely up to the states, and even Mississippi would be juuuust fiiiine, compared to the rest of the world.

In fact, I have argued (and will continue to) that we should do exactly that. Keep Social Security and Medicare, and end all the block grant programs, to be replaced with nothing. They were the replacement for the Federally administered welfare programs, which were terrible, and it turns out that states are terrible too -- especially when the money they're spending comes from another entity's budget.

The legal immigration pipeline is being strangled as much as legally possible now.

https://x.com/derzum_/status/
2095517123409789335

The administration can only do so much on its own, though, since certain visa classes are "shall issue" as outlined in statute. Further restrictions have to come from Congress.

It took about 40 years of agitation and effort to get the 1926 immigration ban passed by Congress. So, not everything being done in 17 months of Trump's second administration is kind of a high bar to clear.

This is most likely true, however there is nothing that says the IRS has to accept fake or mistaken SSN, for example, to show employer qualification for write offs on the wages paid.
In fact, in strict accounting the IRS should reject such write offs to employers, unitl the employer can get the employee to stop falsifying the employers quarterly returns.

The Thursday Morning Rant

We are nearly 60 days away from mid-term general election day. How much turnover will there be in Congress? Not Enough! Until we have term limits for members of Congress, there will continue to be way too many incumbents occupying space in the US Capitol for countless terms.

We The People strongly support term limits for members of Congress. Ballot measures in the 90s were very popular with voters. Voters in 14 states approved ballot initiatives in 1992, and 1994 saw at least 6 of 8 additional states' voters approve ballot measures. So approximately 20 states impose term limits on their members of Congress, right? Wrong!

In 1995, the US Supreme Court ruled Congressional term limit measures and amendments passed at individual state levels to be unconstitutional. The case was U.S. Term Limits, Inc. v. Thornton. As in Ray Thornton, Democrat member of Congress from Arkansas. He and his allies sued the state after passage of Amendment 73 to the Arkansas Constitution - which limited US House members to 3 terms and US Senate members to 2 terms.

The organization US Terms Limits was founded in 1992, and it still exists today. According to their website

U.S. Term Limits is the nation’s largest nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to advocating for term limits. We believe that a government of the people, by the people, and for the people—not a ruling class focused on self-serving deals—is essential.
Our mission is to foster a higher quality of government by establishing a citizen legislature. This legislature would more accurately reflect its constituents and be genuinely responsive to their needs. We work tirelessly with citizens across the nation, helping them understand why term limits are a necessary government reform and how to implement this vision from their local town councils all the way to Congress.
It’s important to note that U.S. Term Limits does not require individuals to self-limit their terms. Our aim is to limit the terms for all members of Congress as an institution, ensuring a more dynamic and accountable representative body.

US Term Limits is trying to get support from enough states to force Congress to call for an Article V convention

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress...

How much progress have they made?

The U.S. Constitution provides the state legislatures authority to propose amendments without the approval of Congress. To make it happen, 34 state legislatures must pass resolutions to call a convention for the states to propose a congressional term limits amendment.
Now, here is where it gets a bit complicated. The states don’t always pass the exact same application. So, today there are fourteen state legislatures that have passed the U.S. Term Limits (USTL) single-subject application for congressional term limits. However, there are 9 additional states that have passed applications that include congressional term limits and, therefore, are states we are prioritizing.

34 states have to pass the same application for the convention to be called. Then, any amendments proposed at the convention require ratification by 38 state legislatures.

27 amendments to the Constitution have been ratified. 6 others were proposed but not ratified. Do you know how many of the 33 proposed amendments came about through an Article V convention? ZERO! All 33 proposed amendments were the result of Congress - approved by 2/3 of EACH house of Congress.

On January 6, 2025 a resolution was introduced in the House - H. J. RES. 12

It's purpose - "Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to limit the number of terms that a Member of Congress may serve."

It would impose a 3-term limit on the House and a 2-term limit on the Senate.

What has happened to this amendment since then? It was referred to the House Judiciary Committee on the day it was introduced. That's it. No action at all. Big surprise, right? What are the chances ANY Congress will vote - by a 2/3 majority, no less - to impose term limits upon its members? As the saying goes - "between slim and none -- and Slim just left town!"

Saw this graphic recently. Absolutely ridiculous!

Good for US Term Limits and the work they are doing. However, they are not even halfway to their goal of 34 states passing the same application.

They also have to overcome this kind of stupidity. Stopping a Dangerous Article V Convention

Wealthy donors, corporations, and radical far-right actors are pushing calls for an Article V Convention in states across the country to reshape our Constitution for their own benefit.
Frighteningly, they are just a few states away from succeeding.
***
Under Article V of the U.S. Constitution, Congress is required to hold a constitutional convention if two-thirds of state legislatures (34 states) call for one.
But here’s the catch: there are absolutely no rules for an Article V Convention outlined in the Constitution.
That means the group of people convening to rewrite our Constitution could be totally unelected and unaccountable. There is nothing that could limit the convention to a single issue, so the delegates could write amendments that revoke any of our most cherished rights – like our right to peaceful protest, our freedom of religion, or our right to privacy. There are also no rules preventing corporations from pouring money into the convention to ensure they get their way.

I guess they missed the text in Article V that says the convention's purpose is amendments, not rewriting the Constitution. And also the part about 3/4 of the states needing to ratify any amendments that may arise at a Convention of the States.

So we have Congress refusing to act and clueless people spouting nonsense about a convention being dangerous.

We really aren't going to be able to vote our way out of this, are we?

21 I'm generally opposed to taking away choice from the people, but an analogy occurred to me that MIGHT make me endorse term limits. That analogy is to those who insist that an absolute free market is best, since people can reach their own decisions. However, it is also clear that this only works in a world where information is unhindered, and people really do know what's going on. That is almost never the case.

Something similar applies to elections. People are easily fooled, and those already in office have a plethora of tools to fool them. Thus, it isn't really a free election.

I will ponder.

The notion of a true representative republic grows more ludicrous every day. The people have precious little choice in who the parties find acceptable even before the primaries. Then the money men decide who get backing.
Then the most partisan voters in the district decide the primaries and in the general we're left with a choice of two pre-selected idjits out of a population of whatever (10s of thousands to literally millions)

It's what makes Trump such a unicorn, that he's the exception to a pretty hard and fast rule.
That rule is that the people will get the choice We give them.

75 As much as various parts of the constitution need patching up, I don't think we will survive an article V convention. The progs cannot and will not behave themselves and there is no chance we don't come out of it with dealbreakers.

1A and 2A are obviously non-negotiable, just look at the EU and the rest of the anglosphere. These are hard red lines when you're talking about jail for internet comments, hordes of rapists and murderers, and prog goons operating with near impunity.

Conversely, I don't think we are gonna make it regardless. We'd be shooting at each other right now already if Harris had "won". There is little chance of the dems not flipping out if they get back in power. We simply can't share a nation with them.

Also, you can't hold more than two Federal offices in your life, whether elected or appointed.

If you want to run for either the House or Senate, you have to resign any elected/appointed office, local/state/federal BEFORE filing. If you really want more responsibility in a higher office, you should concentrate 100% on that race. Hedging your bets by maintaining a stranglehold on your previous office just shows that you're not serious.

Texas Republicans voted to impeach Ken Paxton. The judge put a gag order on him, while Karl Rove was allowed to wrote op-eds in the Wall Street Journal trashing and lying about Paxton unabated.

In the trial, the FBI, who was called to investigate Paxton, got on the stand and advised the court they "found no evidence whatsoever" that Paxton did anything wrong, accepted bribes or violated any laws in any instance.

Talarico is now running ads about how "even Republicans voted to impeach him" because he's just so corrupt.

Indeed, the intramural fight between old boomer Democraps and younger DSA scabs trying to take over is a major animating principle for my optimism that we're gonna win in November. None of this would be possibly with term limits.

The real problem, as I see it, isn't the lack of term limits. It's Democrap vote fraud (which we are working on) and an inexplicable lack of voter enthusiasm on our side (which I hope we are working on).

Abbott’s actually done as good a job with it as any past Governor I can think of. He’s the head of the bureaucracy, and influences policy through his personnel choices there. He has no control at all over the Legislature, but the Lt. Governor has a lot of influence over the Senate.

Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and all Judges and County officials are independently elected positions, so the Governor has no influence over them or their departments.

- There are no rules, there's only ever been one. They'll lure support with a popular idea (e.g., balanced budget) and rewrite the whole thing.

- Each state gets a vote and there are more red states.

And one of the changes they will make is the removal of the ability to have a convention again to fix it. They may be evil but they are not dumb.

Liberals(Capitalists) would want a convention, true progressives (Socialist leaning) would not.
I’m a socialist and the thought of a convention where there are no rules is horrifying.

179 I completely agree that anyone, from either party, who has been squatting in Congress for decades is a menace to the country. It rots their awareness and priorities.

HOWEVER, what is never discussed is the tenure of the staffers, and how much power they wield. For example, I read that Thune inherited McConnell's staffers when he took over Senate leadership -- and then promptly lead exactly like McConnell. Gee, I wonder why?

Not that each of these elected officials aren't responsible for how they perform, but there is an army of uniparty staffers* who ensure that DC functions the same way, regardless of who they are working for. They wield a lot more power than we understand, while remaining nameless and unaccountable to people outside of DC.

186 177 I know progressives who think a Convention would be a good thing and it emphatically would not. Please tell a friend. Christian fascists want a Convention because:

- There are no rules, there's only ever been one. They'll lure support with a popular idea (e.g., balanced budget) and rewrite the whole thing.

- Each state gets a vote and there are more red states.

And one of the changes they will make is the removal of the ability to have a convention again to fix it. They may be evil but they are not dumb.

Liberals(Capitalists) would want a convention, true progressives (Socialist leaning) would not.
I’m a socialist and the thought of a convention where there are no rules is horrifying.

Reich-wingers want a convention. What a bunch of traitors. I hate this timeline. The GOP needs stripped of its power. Worthless oligarchs

Tucker Carlson appeared to all but endorse far-left Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s critical U.S. Senate race while launching a blistering attack against President Trump’s endorsed Republican candidate, Mike Rogers.

During an interview with “Breaking Points” co-host Saagar Enjeti, Carlson declared that he would not vote for Rogers “at gunpoint,” accused the former House Intelligence Committee chairman of being a “tool of Israel and the intelligence agencies,” and praised El-Sayed’s newly repackaged campaign as “literally Trumpian.

But it's fascinating because of the mindset. They HAVE to have a system to work within because they want to gain power and then make their OWN system.

The brutal truth is: there are no rules. This is a dangerous world and if enough people decided commies were a dangerous threat and decided to just start summarily executing them... well. And the converse is ALSO true. They do not make this fundamental connection to the nature of power and governance. WHY trying to hamstring government power is THE point. Because a 1000 autonomous units with small portions of power and the lessened ability to effect other people is FAR better than an all powerful government that has the power to effect EVERYONE.

239 Good rant.

While the federal legislative branch lacks restrictions, state-level government is a completely different landscape...

State Governors: 36 states impose some form of term limit on their executive branch. Most limit a governor to two consecutive four-year terms, though some allow them to run again after sitting out a term.

State Legislators: 15 states legally limit the terms of state senators and representatives. These limits vary from 8 to 12 total years per chamber, or a cumulative career cap (like California's 12-year lifetime limit across both chambers).

The actual deciding factor, above, is whether a state allows Direct Democracy (ballot initiatives). In the early 1990s, a massive nationwide populist movement pushed for term limits. Voters overwhelmingly approved them in nearly every state where citizens are legally allowed to put proposals directly onto the ballot. In states like Illinois, Pennsylvania, or New York, the public cannot easily bypass the legislature via ballot initiatives. Because politicians rarely vote to limit their own jobs, those states never adopted them.

Right. Like the way the convention to reform the Articles of Confederation just proposed amendments and did not write the Constitution.

Likewise, you have nothing to offer against the core assertion that there are no limits on what such a convention can propose.
Repeal the 1st Amendment?
Repeal the 2nd Amendment?
Eliminate the Electoral College?
All could be proposed.

Would they pass?
Would a term limit amendment pass?
Would they be ratified?
Would a term limit amendment be ratified?

Every time I see advocacy for an Article V Convention it is presented as a guaranteed panacea when it is obviously no such thing.
That alone should make anyone suspicious of anyone promoting it, doubly so when they have nothing to rebut criticisms.

The Morning Report — 9/ 3 /26

Good morning kids. Well to start things off we have this bit of breaking news

Gloria Steinem, the pioneering feminist, writer and activist who helped define the modern women’s movement, has died at 92.

If I want to be kind, and given the utter societal rot that she and others of her ilk precipitated over the past 60 years or so, I find it extremely difficult, so whatever legitimate grievances that women had which begat the women's movement, Steinem certainly played a pivotal role in bringing them to the fore. But at least from my perspective, like the civil rights movement, and our society's natural movement away from segregation and the evils of racism, women ultimately would have gained equal status thanks to the Judeo-Christian and American ethic that undergird society in the first place. Of course the anti-American Democrat/Left have been doing their damndest to tear that all down in their unslakeable lust for absolute power and so especially over the past 60 years they have corrupted every legitimate political movement in order not to build a more perfect union but to tear down the closest that humanity has ever come to it, the American experiment. And yet we're still here, but only just.

And moving on to some horrific news from late yesterday afternoon out of Minneapolis. Yikes, we're stuck in an endless loop of alternate universe Mary Tyler Moore shows.

At least six people, including two police officers, were shot in downtown Minneapolis Wednesday around 4:50 p.m. local time.

No doubt P3DO adjacent/suspected governor Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey will do their best to obfuscate and cover up the identity and background of the shooter, who is in custody per the reports, and lead the call for the destruction of the Second Amendment, despite Minnesota already being one of the strictest anti-2A states in the nation as it is. Having zero information about the perp, but in every case like this that I can recall, the shooter was not a member of the NRA or GOA, but it's the guns, and white people and toxic masculinity (that's for you Gloria Steinem).

Meanwhile in another part of the forest...

‘I Like To Kill Jews’: Columbia Protester Upheld by Media as Gentle Peace Activist Is Accused of Supporting Terrorists, Boasting He Can Use a Machine Gun, in Scathing New Report. . . The Palestinian Columbia student, Mohsen Mahdawi, is currently fighting deportation

Oh no, the infamy! We can't have that can we?!

Meh, who needs this when we have our own homegrown Zyklon A-Z sucking self-gassers ready willing and able to line us all up for the aforementioned fiend before inhaling deeply!

But addressing an event for Michigan Jewish Democrats, Nessel made her best case in a speech that will last long past this cycle because of the nakedness of its horrifying argument.
“We have a moral imperative to place the needs of the world above even our own self-interest and, yes, even our own survival,” Nessel told Jewish Democrats. Those “needs of the world” required Jews to vote for Democrats, including presumably El-Sayed, who had made excuses for a Muslim terrorist attack against Jewish children in the preschool of a Michigan Temple.

With Jews like Dana Nessel we don't need the Einsatzgruppen. Yes sir that's my Yasser!!!! Evil filthy drunken slag shitwhore needs to have dinner with Gloria Steinem, soon!

Finally, I note yet again with a mix of puzzlement, curiosity and satisfaction the anomaly that is John Fetterman.

. . . Like, the DSA, they’re deeply anti-American,” Fetterman said. “They’re deeply anti-capitalism. They’re deeply anti-the American way of life.”
Fetterman continued to point out that “when you look at the kind of individuals that are actually in the DSA,” they live in homes that their parents bought for millions of dollars.
“They want to impoverish middle class whites, and seize all the production,” Fetterman continued. “I would think every single Democrat should condemn the DSA. This is not like a big tent situation, they should have their own entire party, and run alone as the kinds of communists, and socialists, and anti-American party that they are.”

Regardless of why he is publicly destroying the DSA while no doubt still embracing core Democrat/Liberal beliefs and shibboleths, his overt broadsides are needed, loudly, frequently and repeatedly. That they are coming most effectively from him and not from anyone in the GOP is frustrating and telling. So give 'em hell Lumpy!

Have a good day.

65 Feminism is part and parcel of the Marxist project. It is the rejection of the fact that men and women are inherently different. The Communist viewpoint is that human nature is immaterial in shaping human society.

You could almost extend the idea. The recent state of Marxist thought is Critical Everything Theory. So their premise is not that men and women are entirely congruent and fungible. The plan is to goad people into thinking deep down that women actually *are* inferior, and therefore deserve to be placed on a pedestal while men are denigrated and torn down, because you must reflexively treat everything as the opposite of what it is.

There's something really nefarious about it, and you see the same thing everywhere. All blacks are psychotic sociopaths and so must be celebrated. All hispanics are murderers and rapists and drug dealers. All women are unstable nutjobs. etc etc. I'm not the one saying any this shit. They are.

It sure is baffling. He has massive cognitive dissonance. I'm done waiting for him to realize what his party really is and has become...and most importantly, where it's going. He apparently can't make that leap and just can't see that in his constant proclamations in support for the middle class and America, his party and his own voting record obliterates his own beliefs.

90 ALPRs can improve policing and public safety, but we need stronger safeguards to prevent abuse and protect privacy.

Industry has has those safeguards in place for ages.

Software: before merging branch into main code, needs reviewers.

Banking: before making a wire transfer, another employee must approve before funds released.

Trading: before a portfolio manager proposes a trade, risk management, compliance and a trading supervisor need to approve.

Surgical Time-outs: before surgery multiple participants verify correct patient, procedure and body part.

They could demand accountability and sign-off before a compliance officer approves along with factoring in consequences for abuse—but they won't do it because they don't care.

103 No doubt P3DO adjacent/suspected governor Walz and Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey will do their best to obfuscate and cover up the identity and background of the shooter, who is in custody per the reports, and lead the call for the destruction of the Second Amendment, despite Minnesota already being one of the strictest anti-2A states in the nation as it is. Having zero information about the perp, but in every case like this that I can recall, the shooter was not a member of the NRA or GOA, but it's the guns, and white people and toxic masculinity (that's for you Gloria Steinem).

Democrats will continue to fester the environment for mass shootings until the public DEMAND they do something, then they will come for your guns. The 2nd amendment is standing in the communist way and they will stop at NOTHING to take them away from you.

What I'm seeing is he's dead? Here's a CBS report Minneapolis reddit is discussing; https://tinyurl.com/5e5822nk

...the suspect is 35-year-old Carlton Neal Johnson...Minneapolis Police Chief Bill Peterson said police were familiar with the suspect...

...This is at least the second deadly shooting inside the apartment building in just under a year. A man shot and killed two other men there late last September...

...While officials do not know a motive for the shooting, the suspect had been evicted from his apartment earlier Wednesday.

The suspect's eviction came after a series of threats involving guns. On June 19, the suspect made verbal threats about using a gun and showed a gun to a security officer. Days later, he allegedly threatened a resident with a gun and walked around the block with a firearm visible.

The suspect has a past conviction for domestic violence.

Abdiwakil Mohamed, from south Minneapolis, said he heard the gunshots as he was driving down La Salle Avenue...

A feminist Seder became her strongest connection to Jewish ritual.

Opposing kickers line up for FG, look up and on the board there are duplicate uprights (so they see 4, not 2)… and the fake uprights had their flags blowing in a fake breeze the opposite direction of the actual wind.

197 Steinem was an abomination and corrupted God’s rituals and practices for her evil predilections. She almost single handily created the abortion industry and normalized it into a widespread practice of eliminating the children of God. She was also the original AWFL, and led the destruction of the nuclear, traditional family- all for the false panacea of a job in corporate America. Many of the ills you see today, and the extremely sick, twisted, anti human views of women can be traced back to her. No, you can’t “have it all” because in the end that’s a coping mechanism for your personal failure to focus on what’s most important. That’s a universal maxim, not some gender driven truth. In the end she was a purveyor of falsehoods, sophism, and fallacy. That’s her truthful and easily proven legacy.

Video footage shared by local media showed Mamdani touring the store and speaking with community members. One man presented him with honey, traditionally eaten during the Jewish New Year, while another demonstrated the blowing of a shofar, according to The Boro Park Scoop.

Mamdani wished those gathered “Shana Tova," the traditional greeting for Rosh Hashanah, which begins at sundown on September 11.

231 It seems like the reporting is a bit different when muslims are victims of violence versus when they are the perpetrators. Perhaps it's simply that reporters can't be bothered to chaise down the details for dog-bites-man stories, and the latter would be in that category.

Anyway, here are a few lines from a recent NYT story:

A 17-year-old North Carolina girl was charged with murder after she coordinated with gunmen to livestream a fatal shooting at a San Diego mosque this year, the authorities said Monday.

The girl, Sarah Santiago of Forsyth County, N.C., was arrested last week, and a grand jury indicted her on three counts of murder and one count of conspiracy on Monday, according to Jim O’Neill, the district attorney. She is being charged as an adult.

Cain Clark, 17, and Caleb Vazquez, 18, killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego on May 18, an attack that was investigated as a hate crime and that heightened concerns about rising Islamophobia. Both were found dead inside a vehicle that contained anti-Islamic writings after the shooting.

Notice the subtle differences here?

It also helps when people get subtle surgery while younger, instead of more drastic (and risky) surgery when much older.

Back to Toddler Ethics. If she can't get her children to share their toys, to quit yelling at or hitting their siblings, even after she consumes massive quantities of drugs and alcohol to help her cope, then to bring peace she must murder all of the toddlers.

307 Im no particular fan of that shoe THOT, but i watched the video Ace posted of her. She more-or-less echoes my thoughts about the Sisterhood.

She mentions a song in it, the new feminist anthem "Labour," by Paris Paloma.

1.) It’s horrible and whiny and very boring, like every woman song of the last 2-3 decades, short of Ke$ha or Nicki Minaj

Emptiness that they are constantly trying to fill by going through the motions of life.

There was a good bit by Tom Shippey in the Lord of the Rings extended edition bonus materiel where he was talking about Tolkien's view of evil. He pointed out that Tolkien, by experience likely, had seen evil as empty. There's a quote 'The history of evil in the 20th century is remarkably impersonal. It is like no one really wants to do it, but they have their job to do. THAT is a wraith. That is someone who has been through the wraithing process.'

-her husband got up on the stand and defended her and blamed the medication. There is something fundamentaly WRONG there and performative. SHE KILLED HIS KIDS. HIS SONS. His wetware should be crying out for vengeance. It does not make sense to me and makes me wonder how many meds HES on.

398 According to the details that have emerged, CENIF analysed photographs, videos, and the operational behavior of Moroccan forces. Its officers identified gendarmes guiding groups from Castillejos towards specific border points and individuals believed to be plainclothes members of the Moroccan security services giving instructions on how to reach the El Tarajal breakwater.

The police’s conclusion therefore goes considerably further than Moroccan passivity. It describes coordination on the ground and an operation intended to overwhelm Spain’s border-control capacity within the framework of hybrid operations that are taking place not only on Europe’s eastern flank, but also along its immediate southern border. The report even examines the sequence of the crossings and the rapid subsequent return of many of those involved as factors incompatible with a conventional migration crisis.

478 May 2026:

The federal health department will begin a series of steps intended to curb antidepressant use in the US, Robert F Kennedy Jr announced this week.

Antidepressants, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, have long been a target for Kennedy, the Trump administration’s health secretary, who talked about the plans at an event on Monday . . .

In a press release about the plans, the Department of Health and Human Services said its intent was to “curb psychiatric overprescribing” and promote “deprescribing when clinically indicated”.

During the event, Kennedy said he recognized the role of psychiatric medications, but that his department “will no longer treat them as the default, we will treat them as one option, to be used when appropriate, with full transparency and with a clear path off when they are no longer needed”, according to the New York Times’ reporting on the summit, which focused on “overmedicalization” of mental health.

525 'Morning, all. Thanks, J.J. Stay safe. 🙏

The Dems have certainly hitched their wagons to El-Sayed. His leadership is valued. Huh?

Did you know that following his 2018 gubernatorial run, he "integrated into mainstream party infrastructure, serving on the "Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force" to shape national healthcare policy?" Oh, yes, he did!

Following the 2020 Democratic presidential primary (in which Bloomberg saved Biden), Joe & Bernie decided to bridge a massive ideological divide & unite the party before the general election with six joint "Unity Task Forces." (Must reads.)

Sander appointed El-Sayed as one of 8 members of the healthcare task force, which also included Rep Jayapal, (former) Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, and Sens. Tammy Baldwin. The Biden side's explanation was by El-Sayed actively chose to work within the traditional party framework, negotiating with Biden's team to help write a 110-page policy recommendation report.

3 of 10 healthcare recommendations were fully or partially adopted into law:

>Eliminating Subsidy Caps (Adopted): Passed via the American Rescue Plan and extended through the Inflation..

Continued -

Posted by: L - No nic... at September 03, 2026 10:12 AM (NFX2v)

526 Reduction Act.

>Testing and Distribution Infrastructure (Adopted): Fully funded during the height of the pandemic, ensuring nationwide free COVID-19 testing, contact tracing infrastructure, and federally guaranteed free vaccines.

>COBRA Premium Subsidies (Adopted/Temporary): The American Rescue Plan temporarily provided a 100% federal subsidy for COBRA premiums to help workers who lost their jobs during the pandemic retain their employer-sponsored health insurance.

In late 2022, El-Sayed was appointed Dir. of Wayne County Dept. of Health, Human & Veterans Services. Public health of 1.8 million residents in MI.

His accomplishments were leveraging county resources to engineer a program that erased up to $700 million in medical debt for roughly 300,000 residents.

Building a comprehensive, countywide air qualify monitoring network in the name of Environmental Justice, and "tackling the addiction epidemic" by deploying 100 Narcan vending machines countywide to prevent overdose deaths.

And then he left abruptly for the Senate race.

Dems just can't get over him as a "former Rhodes Scholar, epidemiologist, and previous director of the Detroit Health Department."

Cont'd

Posted by: L - No nic... at September 03, 2026 10:12 AM (NFX2v)

527 El-Sayed holds a medical degree (MD) from Columbia University & a doctorate in public health from Oxford.

According to Fox News Digital, critics note that “he never held a medical license, never did his residency, never passed his boards, and never practiced medicine independently.” It's true. El-Sayed graduated from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons with a Doctor of Medicine (MD). Because he has an MD, he can legally use the academic title "Doctor." He then chose an academic & administrative path & earned a PhD in public health. He went on to work as a public health professor at Columbia, and later directed the Detroit Health Department, so he was an Epidemiologist.

However, under MI (and other states') state laws, the specific title "physician" is legally restricted to individuals who hold an active state license to practice medicine. Because El-Sayed's actual patient care was limited to a four-week clinical rotation back when he was a medical student, his usage of that title is politically misleading.

He knows, they know. Abdul El-Sayed's wife, Dr. Sarah Jukaku, is an actual practicing physician and board-certified psychiatrist in MI.

529 He's a deceptive individual.

Abdul El-Sayed's strategic invocation of "right to try" during his Fox News interview with Jesse Watters served a dual political purpose: reframing the debate using a conservative-friendly concept and deflecting an otherwise difficult culture-war question.

When Watters pressed him on whether he supported gender-affirming surgeries for minors, El-Sayed deliberately chose not to answer with standard progressive talking points. By citing "right to try," El-Sayed targeted a core conservative & libertarian value: anti-statism (the belief that federal bureaucracy and the government should stay out of personal health choices). His goal was to flip the script on Fox News viewers by framing medical decisions not as a culture-war issue, but as a matter of personal freedom and parental rights against government overreach.

He was intentionally misleading. Federal Right to Try legislation is specifically restricted to terminally ill adults & children seeking unapproved, experimental medications.

It was signed into law by President Trump in May 2018, with a 9-year-old boy, Jordan McLinn (who had Duchenne muscular dystrophy), standing nearby.

750 109. I'd wager the divide on what her punishment should be probably coincides with party affiliation. ...
Posted by: Lady in Black

I agree. I read, researched & made it personal for a time as I thought back to my own bout with a bit of depression when kid #1 was about 7 months old, and also when one of my dearest, most competent friends from way back suddenly snapped after the death of her mom & birth of her 1st (and only) child. (She was committed for a solid year & then slowly worked into seeing & caring for the child over time & under careful watch & guidance. She & her husband remained together and raised the child very well.)

I think Clancy was unstable at least by the birth of her second child, 1st son. I don't think there was really much of a 'marriage,' she needed both time in her nursing job and time with more than one child to fill a hole - lack of real companionship, friendship, purpose.

I also believe her guilty, dangerous & must be locked away for her remaining lifetime.

What cemented it for me is one fact: She killed the kids in the basement, her husband's domain. (The oldest boy was found in the office.) Revenge.

Daily Tech News 3 September 2026

Top Story

A group called Nexus is advertising 153 million US drivers licenses for sale on Russian exploit site Exploit. (Krebs On Security)

They advertised this with a photo of the drivers license of a certain... Brian Krebs.

Uh.

And he followed up by asking 10 friends to see if their redacted data was in the list. Nine times out of ten, it was.

How did this happen? We may never know. Oh.
Here's where it gets interesting: I was able to find my mother's drivers license in this service as well, and the timestamps for her images are just a few seconds apart from mine. That's notable because we both handed our licenses to the Hertz rental car representative at the same time.
Oops.

So Hertz got hacked?

Nothing so pleasant.
Edwards told KrebsOnSecurity that although he did not rent a car in Vegas, he did hand over his license at the TSA checkpoint, at a marijuana dispensary in Vegas, and at his hotel (the Aria). But he said the only one of those three that for sure scanned his ID in some kind of device was the dispensary.
Not Hertz it would appear, but, the company that Hertz uses to verify IDs.
Contacted by KrebsOnSecurity, idscan.net said it was investigating the matter, but the company has not yet shared an official statement or a substantive reply to specific questions sent via email.

Finally figured out why phone battery was drained during the day. A message couldn't be sent so phone kept trying though it wasn't going to get sent. Phone was down to %50 at lunch time yet didn't use it all day.

Next door neighbor helped me push the car back into my driveway. He diagnosed it as a bad connection at the shifter. Youtube video showed my how to get at it and what to expect.

21 Evening and morning for the first Thor's Day in Sept. this year. I'm up a little ahead of the alarm, but feel pretty rested anyway.

Today I have to run out to the western suburbs, have the Buick's blood swapped out, give it some more food, and drop some of Linda's old clothes at the thrift store nearby. Maybe I'll hit Walmart too; it's right there, and I need to buy a refill phone card.

The big Buick is at 100,300 miles now, age ten, seven of those years under my watch. Aside from a faint fading of the paint on roof, hood, and trunk -- some of which can be countered by careful waxing -- it looks almost new and runs like an muscular limousine. Whenever I have occasion to run on a highway or smooth roads, I look forward to traveling in the LaCrosse.

Just ask a woman what she thinks about the Lindsey Clancy case, and the child murder apologists won't even try to hide it, because they're convinced that they're the morally superior and righteous ones. It's wild, but useful, and potentially thousands of men could dodge a bullet (probably metaphorical, but who knows).

It is a great long-distance car. Not only smooth and comfortable, and fast, it gets remarkable mileage for a big car with a V-6. My '86 Mercedes 420SEL, the big V-8 S-Class, was much the same, except in the mileage department: 22-24 on the open highway, and that on premium. The LaCrosse has done 34 on ethanol-free gas at 70 w/ the A/C on -- and that was regular 87 octane.

Wouldnt t it depend on the woman?

I think I need another break from the internet today and bad news and the "All women support The child murderess." No, we don't

51 The ones going out of their way to make the bestest car-seat confessional about their love of some crazy bitch who killed her children are the ones who have truly learned to love Big Brother. The content of what they're saying doesn't matter, because they know what Big Brother needs them to say and gosh darn it they're going to say it louder and prouder than anyone else because they know what today's Goodthink is.

Eastasia has always been at war with Oceania. There are five lights. Et cetera et cetera.

It doesn't matter if it's the old cliche about killing your parents and then demanding the sympathy due to an orphan, in reverse and one step removed. Big Brother has declared that up is down, left is right, good is evil, and so on. After enough years of that kind of training, you spontaneously start applying that Opposite World filter to every piece of social information you consume, automatically.

New build data centers are astonishingly quiet. There are reams and reams of data and modeling and validation on their AHUs and exhaust fans to make sure they are as quiet as physically possible now. The typical shopping mall is louder. Any urban downtown area is many decibels louder.

New build data centers are astonishingly quiet. There are reams and reams of data and modeling and validation on their AHUs and exhaust fans to make sure they are as quiet as physically possible now. The typical shopping mall is louder. Any urban downtown area is many decibels louder.

If they want to abolish new data centers for being "loud", then what's their argument for not razing every major metropolitan area?
Posted by: Warai-otoko at September 03, 2026 06:53 AM (Ot/FD)

-----

Perhaps the new build data centers will turn out to be astonishingly quiet. Many of the current ones are not. The one pictured in the Loudon county oosr is next to a quiet, residential area. Loudoun county is anything but a noisy urban, downtown area. I lived in the next county over for years

95 What is disturbing about the ID breach is that actual images were stored, not biometric templates that are used for searching. That "redacted" data was also not encrypted, even worse, the company kept it as if that data are theirs rather than storing a hash and using that hash for comparisons.

If I was a psychologist/counselor after viewing Wolfus' posts over the years about hating the weather in his area, doing nothing about it, soliciting advice and then not following it for Reasons, that checks all of the boxes for a help-rejecting complainer

Most people instinctively respond by offering solutions, but I'm thinking that is not what Wolfus actually wants. The proper response here is to set boundaries and ask questions instead of suggestions and accept that the complaints are not about solutions.

All the guys out there who are still braving the crazy (and crazy-making) dating market finally have the perfect test to expose superficially normal-seeming nutbars.

Just ask a woman what she thinks about the Lindsey Clancy case, and the child murder apologists won't even try to hide it, because they're convinced that they're the morally superior and righteous ones. It's wild, but useful, and potentially thousands of men could dodge a bullet (probably metaphorical, but who knows).

Wednesday Night ONT - September 2, 2026 [TRex]

Good evening Horde! The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety. The bar is open and (mostly) re-stocked. Step up and place your order.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of random overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and join the fun. Good will offerings of amusing puns are encouraged. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors. If you're a troll, go away.

This is a Tucker, Candace, Megyn, and Bill Kristol free zone. Please.

Apparently people in Georgia like their watermelons.

Not a parody or AI:

I am favorably inclined to the Deere but when I think of John Deere, it also conjures thoughts of "outdoor scents" that seem sub-optimal for my personal care needs.

I am curious about the "limited edition" packaging. Are potential buyers considering a purchase of John Deere deodorant at Walmart because it is a collectible? It must trigger an unconscious need-to-buy instinct. In related news, there are probably many reasons that I don't work in marketing...

Does anyone have an inside source at Walmart to find out how many of these are actually being sold?

Niche YouTube Channel of the Week

Tonight's feature is a YouTube channel called Hydraulic Press Channel. The premise is simple - what do things look like when they're smashed in a hydraulic press?

That's it. No narration, explanation, or elaborate plots. Just smashing things.

You could be thinking one of two things. Either (a) a single YouTube channel dedicated to smashing things? really? or (b) Awesome!

Apparently lots of people think it is awesome - the channel has over 10.3 million subscribers. Many videos have millions of views. It all started ten years ago with a minute and a half video of smashing a golf ball.

The question is not what has been smashed on the channel. The better question is what has yet to be smashed. If you can think of it and it fits beneath a hydraulic press, it has probably been smashed.

I went into the dealership part and they told me I had to drive all the way around the back of the building. "Its to keep the cars safer" they said.

What the heck? They have hundreds of new cars on the lot and they use one to block off the area were the cars they are working on are located?

112 Much better today after my husband's surprise MRI that he was falling apart (gluteus minimus detached from bone and other stuff).

Not much pain & he's had a few tears fixed in the past with a stem cell injection. No limp, either, thankfully. He may or may not need endoscopic surgery. The result of long distance running for 40yrs.

He found on AI that being a geezer (his words) they may not bother since other muscles are compensating. A rare advantage of being old (altho neither of us look it or act it). It gave me hope.

Spent all morning on the phone getting the MRI sent to the university and top doc's team. Who, I found out, does not operate often on people over 50yrs. However they will find someone. Meanwhile I found two others if we need another opinion. Then I quit and focused on nothing.

Things are looking up.

We may need your prayers in the future, please, as he's only had one tiny surgery in his life (cut thumb tendon, the guitar picking thumb that is fine, one Easter dinner).

So we wait. I'm waiting. Probably won't know squat til next week. Got the MRI faxed & referral letter faxed to "the team."

Nah. I ain't no nag.

I might break the ice and interject that it was too much sex with the university crew to flip my husband right out. heh.

He ran too far for too long. Was known as an "elite" runner in his prime. 4min miles, which girls are breaking now in HS. To run that fast for many miles is now taking its toll.

I hate running. He hates swimming. Guess what he might have to do in rehab either way? I told him to swim when we had a pool in FL, "but he didn't like it."

Well, here we are now with me limber and him falling apart.

I love him madly and someone is going to fix him if he needs it (the lady on the phone realized this about the over 50yrs comment for King Doctor of Ortho).

147 Half a century ago, when MiladyJo and I had been "together" for just a few months, we went to her home town, Chicago, to (gulp) meet her family and celebrate Christmas and New Year's.

She wanted us to go to the New Year's Eve show at the Earl of Old Town, so one day when we were out buying Christmas gifts, we stopped by the bar to buy tickets. There was nobody in the bar but the bartender and some guy up on stage, a short young fellow, dressed in raggedy blue jeans and a big smile, strumming on a beat-up old guitar.

As we stood there, he burst out with a familiar train song. We listened a while, then headed out to shop more.

I turned to her and exclaimed, that was a great version of that song! She replied, it ought to be, that was the guy who wrote it. I said, you mean we just walked out of a private performance with the guy we just bought tickets to see on New Year's?!? Yup. We should have just gone back in.

But we caught his show that New Year's, and the second set, and many New Year's shows subsequently. Great songwriter, energetic performer, and a great guy. Gone 'way too soon.

We didn't abandon them, we tied their hands behind their backs. As soon as the war ended, the Nationalists were really to wipe out the Commies, but was said "no, wait, be nice, form a unity government" and they had to comply.

There were two times the Chicoms could have been wiped off the face of the earth, but weren't. I'm thinking there's some deeper purpose in all of this.

163 Report on the Dominion Con in Hamilton Ontario by John Carter's Substack.
"The Dominion Society was founded barely over a year ago, and rapidly exploded to over three thousand members across the country. It is a peaceful and explicitly non-partisan political advocacy group dedicated to advancing the cause of remigration within Canadian civil society. "

https://tinyurl.com/49bz9v63

One of the pull quotes:

"Back in Hamilton, Andrea Horwath hosted a little Hope Not Hate demo at City Hall, attended by a small clutch of geriatrics high on the ghost of John Lennon and the paramoral rush of dispossessing their children for cheap labour and expensive real estate. The contrast between the small gatherings of elderly leaflibs and spiteful mutants on the one hand, and the predominantly young, male, clean-cut DomCon attendees on the other, was, well, exactly what you’d expect really."

As you likely know, Barbara Tuchman wrote a best selling book entitled, "Stilwell and the American Experience in China."

Gen. [Richard] Stilwell's kept a diary. Here is the Cliff Notes version:

1) Gen. Stilwell, head of the U.S. military mission to China, had TOTAL contempt for Chiang Kai-shek. Stilwell always refers to Chiang as "Peanut."

2) Stilwell believed that the Nationalist govt was so corrupt and un-reformable that every American dollar spent trying to help Peanut was wasted. EVERY damn dollar. He cites numerous examples of U.S. attempts to help Chiang, all of which came to nothing, because Chiang's "commanders" didn't make any real effort to fight Mao. They just wanted loot, and the Nationalist conscripts were totally demoralized as a result. Stilwell couldn't do a thing about that, despite herculean efforts to turn the unfolding disaster around.

3) Chiang's power base, to the extent he ever had one, was located in the larger cities, all of which had been occupied first by the Japanese, & then by the Communists.

So, who lost China? Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. The Nationalist "commanders" even stole utensils from military hospitals.

The lid is on a riser that sticks up out of the ground about half a foot. Most of the hole I dug was "adjacent to" not "over" the tank itself.

I really don't know if this repair I did will work until I let the inlet side of the tank rise above the half-full level. If it works, then Yaay! If not, I am no worse off than before; just keep the inlet side below half-way, and deal with it.

The original British patent used metal cans where the lids were crimped and soldered on. There were a number of preservation methods used prior to that, one of them was called (later) french preserving where cooked meats were put in ceramic jugs and covered with fats to exclude air and bacteria and then closed with oiled paper. In the canning process where the contents and the container are sealed and then heated to sterilize, jars were not used until later, when a process to make the mouths of the jars regular and easily sealable was developed, and rubber sealing rings were made for sealing.

222 Diogenes have you ever tried a choked-up 5-wood for "chips" from the short grass (fringe) near the green? Saw a South African pro do that (up a steep hill, an amazing shot) at a Masters or something years ago.

For some reason probably the best part of my game is short ships. Got really good at it. Fun to calculate landing zones and roll.

Haven't played much in a while for reasons but hope to change that.

224 DH went AWOL from work this afternoon to golf with my BIL and a couple of his friends at Settler's Bay (google it). Sunny and 62 all day, just perfect. I love it when DH has a fun day and actually gets some exercise as well. He is very content just now, with a cocktail in his comfy chair.

I never understood women who don't want their husbands to have fun. If you take away your husband's joy, you have a joyless husband, and if you think you are the only source of your husband's joy, you are sadly mistaken.

Met them for dinner, and then home, and all is well.

In the 1920's, I believe grandma still used a woodstove for her cooking and canning. I know in the south, women used woodstoves outdoors because they didn't want to heat up the whole house. Some of grandma's recipes still state "cook over low fire" or "stoke fire to medium heat." I have no idea how she knew how to do that. I would be at sea.

One might note that this was "producer gas", made by reacting burning coal with steam. Made up of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapor, and some hydrocarbon gases, IIRC. There was a lot of CO. That is why sticking one's head in an unlit gas oven was such a popular method of suicide back in the day.

236 124 Never a hole in one for me, but today I had my first ever chip-in for birdie. Just off the green in the rough on a par 3. Was just trying to get close for a tap-in par but it rolled perfectly forward and left to right and dropped in.

Posted by: Doof at September 02, 2026 10:49 PM (QLC6i)

My two best shots were a 35~40 yard chip in for birdie on a slightly rolling and sloped green after I topped my first shot, and a tee shot that was rolling straight for the cup but stopped just 12" from the cup thanks to an aerated green. We all thought I had it, and are certain I would have had the green been clean.

243 Since it's an ONT, and VJ Day, semi-obligatory trivia.

Yoko Ono's uncle, Kase Toshikazu, was the young diplomat on the USS Missouri assisting the Japanese foreign minister. The younger guy, top hat, holding a briefcase, no glasses.

He created what some consider the most Japanese moment ever. He noted that the Canadian and French representatives had signed erroneously, on each other's lines, on the Instrument of Surrender (the Canadian made the mistake, forcing the French rep to sign on the line for Canada).

He brought this up with Gen. Sutherland, who finally, in frustration, used his own pen to cross out the country names under the respective signatures and write in Canada and France where needed.

Delegation member from the party submitting to unconditional surrender after having its country burnt to the ground insists on every detail of the surrender document being perfect. Incredibly Japanese.

Possibly, but the main problem with canning is botulism, which is an anaerobic soil microbe, and has to be heated to about 240F for a period to destroy. All the Argon will do is displace the O2, which is perfect for the botulism to grow.

now, what I am interested in is "pascalization" which puts the food under extreme pressure for a short while and then released, which kills all the spoiling and toxic microorganisms, without heat modifying the food. 50.000 psi comes to mind but I would have to look it up. The drawbacks are that the enzymes may not be destroyed and can continue to digest and change the food being preserved, and the current equipment will fit nicely into a semi trailer.

Sufficient pressure to break down the cells of microorganisms might also break down the cellular structure of the food, making it into syrup. Unless perhaps the pressure simply reverses osmotic pressure on the cell walls of the "bugs" causing them to die, while having no effect on the already dead cells of the food material?

Heat canning also breaks down the cell structure, and the extended cooking changes the textures and flavors, which is an issue with things like guacamole or oysters. Generally not a problem if you avoid the things that cause problems like that

285 Kindltot-- Mom used mayo jars sometimes, but didn't use the original lids except for capping in the fridge, after the paraffin was removed. Mayo jar threads used to match that of canning bands, but that changed sometime in the 70s or 80s (?) in order to prevent their re-use as canning jars.

Any other jar was also fair game, for Mom's jam/jelly. Again she only saved the lids for *after* the paraffin seal was broken.

I've been given boxes of "canning jars"-- only to find that half (or more) were merely plain glass empties of whatever. I will not use those, and I don't seal with paraffin. Lids, bands, and water bath processing only.

287 I played guitar for just shy of 50 years, until a late-blooming variety of muscular dystrophy wiped out my hands (it also took my carpentry career). I played bluegrass, all sorts of acoustic stuff, as well as country, blues, and rock and roll on electric. I figure I was about an eight-handicap guitarist; I wouldn't embarass myself or my host when I was waved up on stage by various friends in bands at bars, but I wasn't going to make it on the tour. The pyramid gets really narrow at the top - and sitting up there, grinning and playing stuff I can barely comprehend, is Billy Strings.

I've probably seen a couple hundred concerts since 1971, including the Grateful Dead at the Boston Garden on 5/7/77, the Newgrass Revival at the Ark in '87, John Jorgenson, Dave Alvin, Desert Rose Band... but the Billy Strings & Co show in Fishers IN (Indy) on 8/8/26 was easily in the top five shows ever. I was speechless when we left (a very rare occurrence). Billy is a phenomenal guitarist, absolutely, as well as composer, arranger, and band leader. He's also a dad, sober 10 years and pot-free over a year; he discusses this and a lot more in an hour-long interview on youtube. He's a mensch...

288 I've been given boxes of "canning jars"-- only to find that half (or more) were merely plain glass empties of whatever. I will not use those, and I don't seal with paraffin. Lids, bands, and water bath processing only.

292 I picked, processed, and dried so many carrots this week. I love my new dehydrator. I would have canned them, but I'm living in the camper and I just can't see using the pressure canner on this little stove, and the noise would probably make me even more crazy than I already am.

The kitchen gets put in this month, and then I can make all the various soups I usually put up in fall. I have dried peppers as well, and I start on potatoes next week.

Beef barley soup, chicken tortilla soup, chicken rice soup, ham bean soup, all kinds of lovely things to eat all year. I usually put up about 80 pint jars of soups and we routinely eat all of them in one year between the two of us. Whip up some biscuits and it's dinner.

299 JQ, I use old mayo jars and anything with a mason-type lid for water bath canning, especially fruit like plums and applesauce that I always have lots of free fruit from the yard. It only has to seal, and if it breaks, then I got the jar for free too.
My sad moment was when Classico changed its jars from mason type lids to a smaller lid that uses the lugs to screw on. It meant I no longer could get a free canning jar with my spaghetti sauce.

300 Dallas, received a notice that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued a directive ending funding for Flock camera use.

Dallas police pout:
"These cameras remain an important investigative tool and are used daily by detectives and officers to develop leads, identify vehicles associated with criminal activity, and assist in solving crimes," the Dallas Police Department said on X.

Dallas Police officials said that 321 Flock cameras supported by grant funding will no longer be eligible, meaning they will be canceled effective Sept. 15.

After the move, the department "will continue to have more than 300 Flock cameras operating throughout Dallas," according to its X post.

301 Us Catholics ask: Where in the Bible does it say the only source for salvation of your soul is the Bible? Even the Bible tells you it is not the only source. So, if you claim to be Bible based, you need to own all if it, particularly the part where Christ tells you, "This IS my BODY and this IS my BLOOD." An awful lot of Protestants seem to think He was kidding. I have no idea why that would be so.

I have found several ways to make life easier by doing a big canning job once, and then living off it for weeks or months. Considering how short but productive our growing season is up here, it makes more sense than ever to do so, but I suspect in the Lower 48 it would be just as well.

So much better than convenience foods you buy. I know where it came from, I know it's healthy and tasty, and I can control exactly what I have and what I use it for.

Matthew 7:1-5.

Checkmate.

It seems to me that a Christian is someone who believes that a) all humans are sinners, b) the wages of sin is death, c) God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to redeem humans from their sin d) If you repent (genuinely repent) of your sins and ask God for forgiveness in the name of Jesus, it will be granted to you.

At least, I'm comfortable with calling anyone who believes a) through d) a Christian. All the rest of the trappings are about as important as whether your family opens presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

And if you think you need to kill someone because they open their gifts on Christmas Day, or pray in Croatian, or wear their work boots to church (because that's all they have) you have definitely lost the plot.

But what do I know? As stated in a), all humans are sinners, of whom I am the worst.

333 White trash cooking tip of the week:

If you want shredded potatoes for something, and don't want to spend the time to make them, you can thaw tater tots in the microwave and break them up.

I just made an omelet with 1/4 pound of Jimmy Dean hot sausage, two eggs, a thick slice of Tillamook sharp cheddar crumbled, six crumbled tots, and some frozen pepper strips.

I had planned to eat half of it and save the other half for breakfast.

That plan didn't work out.

They're interesting but always let you know what running out of modern ammo and/or fuel would put a stop to your divine dominance. But what would you do with a modern attack sub just after the Japanese planes launched from their carriers? Sub can't stop the planes and say you have 50 fish. What do you do with them? Then what do you do when you run out? Also, assuming you have a full load of food and other supplies (nuke fuel is no problem because that's several decades worth), you have a few months before you need to re-food and forget torpedos unless you could adapt the WW2 varieties.

Sprinkled a bit, couple hours ago. Just enough to wet the dust.

Waiting! Waiting for a cooler day and some free water!

Thursday says: 100% chance of rain & low-70s temp. Okay, but I've got sprinklers ready to go because yard is parched.

369 367 one of the most intriguing "weather patterns" is Saturn's north pole hexagon

I've seen that before, and it is so weird!

We were at Devil's Postpile last week. The sign said the hexagons come from cracks forming at 120 degrees in various places, then meeting to make hexagons. I'm not 100% convinced. Why are all the pillars nearly the same size?

The South pole didn't have any such geometric pattern while Cassini was there. However, recent Hubble images now show a decagon has developed there:

https://t.ly/zzlYU

They think that first started to develop in 2023 or so. The hexagon seems to be be more permanent.

Nature can produce surprisingly coherent geometric shapes as well as the usual fractal looking patterns. Telling the difference between natural and man-made (or .... not saying who, but you know who) is tricky sometimes.

In figuring out that hexagon, then were able to get patterns with water and differential rotation (one of those articles may mention that). So, we do see these polygons emerging out of spinning fluids naturally. Surprising.

375 So, if you have a few prayers in you this evening, Sabrina's funeral is Saturday, even though there's no body left. From 14:00 to 17:00. Just mostly folks sharing stories and generally honoring her.

I am stuck in the stage where I just want her back. Not sure that's one of the stages of grief, but it sort of sucks.

My good friend who chartered the plane and chose who went? He's struggling mightily as well, so a prayer or two for him, please. We are monitoring him closely, just in case. But he is a vet from the Afghanistan campaigns, so he is acquainted with misery and death. I'm not sure it gets easier but maybe he has a framework to put it all in.

Eternal rest grant unto her, Oh Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon her.

I am favorably inclined to the Deere but when I think of John Deere, it also conjures thoughts of "outdoor scents" that seem sub-optimal for my personal care needs.

It sounds like you tiptoe around barnyards, friend. Embrace the manure by stepping in it!

I have read that how one is to remove shit from your shoes after having stepped in it is becoming a skill that today's yoots have not sufficient experience doing.

We had a fierce rainstorm two nights ago as I was returning home from the scout meeting. Dead loads on rain pelting down in the wind gusts.

I spent Wednesday morning cleaning out the gutters at the back of the house and finished up in the early afternoon just before another burst of rain hit the area.

Supposedly a real shot, not a composite,
taken at Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

An alligator attacks its handler so a spectator jumps in and wrestles the alligator to submission.

Fun with forced perspective.

Town builds statue to commemorate day that citizens formed human chain to pull a dog out of a dangerously-fast canal.

This seems like it would be pretty distracting.

I think we have a dog hoarding situation here.

Wasn't this attack in Lake Tahoe? If so, then wouldn't that be a lake otter, not a river otter? And aren't lake otters more closely related to sea otters than river otters?

And do lake otters hold hands while they sleep?

Bridget's trainer's mantra is to "control your holes," such as by not putting that whole pie in your mouth.

Miss Governor,

Women in Iran and across Muslim communities get beaten and murdered for refusing the hijab. I was kicked out of school, multiple times, for "improper hijab." That was my life.

So am I an Islamophobe for saying "fuck you" when you cosplay as a champion of women’s rights while wrapping yourself in the same symbol that was used to police, punish, and erase me and millions of women around the world just to court Muslim votes?
No. I’m not.
FUCK YOU.

Hundreds of Thousands of Spanish Citizens Pour Into the Streets to Protest the Socialist Quisling Pedro Sanchez and Show Support for the Besieged Town of Ceuta;
Sanchez Sics the Riot Police On Them

Europa.com
@europa
3h
🇪🇸 A crowd of thousands has taken to the streets in Madrid to display the widespread anger over the Ceuta crisis caused by migrants from Morocco and the handling of the situation by Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez.

And in other cities and towns, too, like Valencia and Zaragoza.

SkyNews:

Nationwide migrant protests prompt appeals for calm in Ceuta, Spain's North African territory
Demonstrations are due to be held across Spain on Wednesday evening "in solidarity" with Ceuta, the Spanish city in North Africa, which faced an influx of about 72,000 migrants from Morocco in late July.

...
Nearly five weeks ago, around 72,000 migrants crossed into Ceuta from Morocco, with scores dying in the process. While most have since returned home, around 10,000 remain stranded in makeshift camps or on the streets.

"Stranded." Definition: When you illegally cross into a foreign country and refuse to leave.

"Stranded" in context: Illegal aliens rushed past Ceuta's fences and squatted in the city. They refused to leave. They were stranded by the Ceuta authorities who did not provide them with permission to remain.

Another example: I tried to hold up a Wa-Wa by gunpoint. When I tried to enter the store with my gun drawn, they dropped the security gates, stranding me outside. But I wanted them to give me money and cartons of cigarettes. I was stranded by evil-doers!

Their presence has triggered near-daily protests by locals against the Spanish government's handling of the issue, with demonstrators calling for the migrants to be sent back to their countries of origin or redistributed across Spain.
"The government has failed to act in a critical situation. It's spiralling out of control. We're tired, just like those who came are getting tired, and tensions are rising. There's a point where this will become a powder keg," said a resident called Lola.

Let's hope.

54 The muzzie states are like thieves doing a bank job -- they are all buddy buddy before hand, but once the money is in hand, they start bickering and shooting each other.

I think they are starting to think they own Europe. So the Moroccans want Spain, and want a foothold. The Turks want Germany, the Algerians France, etc. But all those countries have other factions that now have to worry about fighting each other.

The same is going on in Canada (and maybe a bit in USA) where the Indians, Chinese, and muzzies all want primary claim on the territory.

We tend to lag Europe in terms of the long march by about 10-20 years. Also we still have guns here so direct action is a bit more consequential and thus give those who would be party to such on either side more pause.

Bonnie Pierce made it out of her burning home, then went back inside when she realized her 3-year-old daughter was still trapped.

Firefighters found Bonnie shielding her little girl with her own body.

She gave her life protecting her child. Her daughter survived.

My last visit was disappointing. I grew up working in orchards as a kid, so, of course, I had to check out the area around Valencia to see the orange groves. Well, they look pathetic and poorly cared for. Also, the number of groves has taken a nose dive due to over regulation on water, fertilizer and insecticides. Growers are focusing on persimmons and kiwi instead of the famous Navelinas of Valencia. It was rather depressing.

(Side note: Valencia Oranges have nothing to do with Valencia. They are hybrid created by a Californian. Spain mostly grows Navelinas...or they used to anyway)

Surprise! Communist Theater-Kid Jihadi Zohran Mamdani Has an Army of 200 Left-Wing Influencers Paid by Taxpayers Who Praise Him to Their Followers

Here's the scam: He has these 200 influencers. City taxpayers pay them, it is claimed, to post about non-partisan things, like "Oh Central Park is lovely in the late summer, you should go."

And then, supposedly "on the side," they post loving tributes to the gay jihadi.

See, the payments only cover the promotion of Broadway and Central Park. The constant propaganda for Zohran Mamdani they do for free, as a side-gig.

Sure.

Can I be paid to post nice things about New York City? I'd keep doing my anti-Mamdani posts, but for free, as my side-gig. I like Central Park. I can promote the ice rink.

Something tells me my application would not be seriously considered.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani assembled an army of nearly 200 "influencers," giving the social media stars VIP access to push the lefty administration's talking points, a new bombshell report revealed.
The web of online personalities are being fed talking points by City Hall through an encrypted Signal group text, potentially running afoul of local record-keeping laws, according to the study by the Columbia Journalism Review.
Some influencers are even pocketing taxpayer funds "for work on particular messaging campaigns," though not for their coverage, the report states.
The official Mamdani cheerleaders chat spawned from Creators4Zohran, a motley crew of influencers convened during his social media-savvy mayoral campaign last year, according to the report.
"A group of content creators and influencers, the Creators4Zohran group that supported his election campaign was reconfigured to promote coverage and talking points from the Mayor's office," the report reads.
"The group is run by the Director of New Media and Cultural Communications at the NYC Office of the Mayor, Emilia Rowland, and her staff, and members of the group receive daily updates, talking points and clips that they can use in their posts."
How much influencers were paid, or if at all, was unclear.
Political insiders who have worked with their ilk have told The Post that influencers don't work for free if involved in specific campaigns, like pushes for vaccinations or public service announcements.
Influencers would eventually look for some sort of compensation for carrying the mayor's water, insiders said.
One influencer highlighted by Creators4Zohran, Allie O'Brien, recently said Mamdani was the "mayor of uncontrollable joy" in a worshipping social post.
O'Brien, though, appears to live in Connecticut from online records.
Another out-of-NYC influencer, who goes by the handle bananadotgov on Instagram, is from Columbus, Ohio, and has posted a number of lionizing videos about Mamdani.
"Strange things are happening, because I have literally not felt this way about a politician since Bernie Sanders," she said, responding to the mayor saying he wouldn't take a pay raise in July.
...
City Hall officials are required by law to keep records, including messages, related to government business to give the public and watchdogs a necessary window into how decisions are made.
When asked about concerns the encrypted Signal chat violates the city's record retention laws, Mamdani first deflected by arguing that tapping influencers is no different than engaging with radio, TV and other media to spread information.

...
City Hall officials directed The Post toward Mamdani's comments and refused to answer specific questions.

Grok says they're being paid between $5,000 and $20,000 per contract, which may not sound like a lot, but remember, they're being paid for just shitting out posts on TikTok and Twitter.

And also, a contract might just cover a couple of months of "work." That's not their yearly compensation.

Grok
@grok

Yes, per a Columbia Journalism Review report, Emilia Rowland (a paid NYC Mayor's Office director) runs a Signal group of over 200 influencers who get daily City Hall talking points and clips. The group grew from his campaign's Creators4Zohran network. Group participation is unpaid, but some influencers separately get $5k--$20k in taxpayer funds via city contracts for specific messaging campaigns.

Meet Allie O�Brien.

Remember who did this:
"to leave now we would send a message to terrorists and other potential adversaries around the world that they can change our policies by killing our people. It would be open season on Americans." -- Bill Clinton '93 just before he pulled out of Somalia.

To abandon this area now -- and to rely only on efforts against alQaeda from a distance -- would significantly hamper our ability to keep the pressure on al Qaeda, and create an UNACCEPTABLE RISK of additional attacks on our homeland and our allies. -- OBAMA'09 after doing PRECISELY THAT

I honestly don't know what feminism is supposed to mean anymore., although it seems like it's now become a term to mean disliking men and thinking women are superior to menWhen I used to call myself a feminist, and when I was a voting Democrat I thought feminist meant that women are capable of fulfilling some of the same jobs men do and if they did those jobs effectively they should be paid what men are paid ( and yes, I am totally against DEI when it means hiring people who are unqualified for jobs based on gender and ethnicity ). As far as hating men, well I've been happily married to a man for over 30 years ( He's my best friend ) and I've also had wonderful male colleagues. And no, I do t want to debate this.

The idea is to burn the bridges with the US and enter the EU's orbit. The US will never import Chinese EVs. Non-starter, so this locks them into the EU, which Carney has openly advocated.

If Alberta leaves, fine, the rump will be even more Liberal and with EU rules on speech, extremism, it will be a one-party state fueled by anti-Americanism and a Chicom outpost.

And, technically those in receipt of the funds are accessories to the crime. Under the law they are obligated to return all payments. How many of these fine, upstanding and disciplined youngsters could do that at the drop of a hat, do you think? I'm betting not many of them.

This woman should be given the presidential medal of freedom from President Trump

A Florida woman was arrested after allegedly pretending to work at Costco in Tampa and turning the sample station into an impromptu “happy hour” for shoppers.

Authorities say 32-year-old Brianna Keller entered the store dressed in black pants, a red polo, and a take badge reading “Crystal - Beverage Team,” then spent nearly an hour handing out tequila shots in tiny ketchup cups beside the snack aisle. She reportedly paired liquors with frozen appetizers, told customers it was “technically a tasting event,” and even proposed “bottomless sample Fridays” to management.

Employees grew concerned as customers started applauding her chants like “Weekend mode activated!” and some were seen dancing near mattress displays with condiment cups.

The stunt ended when a manager noticed the scene, and Keller was arrested while shouting “WHO’S READY FOR ROUND TWO?” as officers escorted her out. One shopper joked, “I honestly thought Costco was just evolving.”

225 AHL,

I think the warning thing is overblown. They had some warning, but
- It is not clear anyone understood the "event" would lead to a flood
- It is doubtful anyone understood that the flood would be so much worse than what happened last year.
- And finally, what were they going to do? For the upstream stuff (the port, road, people) there was no where to run.

Now they should have had a system in place to warn the downstream Nepalese towns, but I am sure China would have avoided that as their policy is to avoid any mention of risk until it is too late, and then bury it.

192 House Democrats Vote "No" on Resolution to Condemn Socialism; Hakeem Jeffries Fumes at Democrats Who Voted With the Republicans

I missed this yesterday.

Two "moderate" Democrats joined the Republicans in getting the vote to the floor -- without those two Democrats, the resolution would have stalled in committee.

Hakeem Jeffries is spitting mad at these anti-socialist Democrats, calling them traitors.

The House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning socialism on Tuesday evening, with all but eight House Democrats voting against it.
In a stunning twist of fate, however, the vote would not have occurred if two House Democrats hadn't stepped in hours earlier to help the GOP through a procedural hurdle -- blindsiding House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., in the process.
Jeffries later threatened consequences for the pair in a dramatic statement late on Tuesday night, calling their move a "breach of trust."
The resolution passed 220 to 192 with all "no" votes coming from the left, including Democrats' senior leaders: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., House Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, D-Calif.
The legislation also affirmed support for election integrity and called for passage of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which nearly all Democrats oppose.
House conservatives had threatened to tank a procedural vote, called a "rule vote," meant to unlock debate on several bills GOP leaders wanted lawmakers to vote on this week. That included the resolution condemning socialism and several other unrelated bills.
Five Republicans voted against the rule, which was poised to fail until Reps. Jared Golden, D-Maine, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash., provided two critical votes to get the GOP over the finish line in a narrow 209 to 208 vote.

The five Republicans were protesting a past vote on the continuing resolution. I'm so tired of this look-at-me, quien-es-mas-macho-conservative bullshit.

Jeffries and other senior House Democratic leaders warned in a statement the day after, ""The decision by two of our colleagues to blindside the entire House Democratic Caucus and join with the Republican majority to pass a procedural rule on the brink of failing represents a significant breach of trust."

"It is an action that necessitates a serious response, and we have asked the Committee on Caucus Rules to take this up in short order," the leaders said.
All Republicans wound up voting in favor of the resolution condemning socialism and affirming election integrity on Tuesday evening, however.

...
It's almost unheard of for the minority party to help their political rivals pass a rule, and Jeffries told reporters he was not notified beforehand.
The five House Republicans who voted against it were Reps. Pete Sessions, R-Texas; Chip Roy, R-Texas; Ralph Norman, R-S.C., Clay Higgins, R-La.; and Andy Harris, R-Md.

The rebels' issue was not with the measure itself, nor the bills it would have allowed the House to pass. Their votes were a protest against how their leaders handled a plan to avert a government shutdown just before the midterm elections, a short-term funding bill called a continuing resolution (CR). That measure passed just before the rule vote began.

Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Mohamad El-Sayed will join Islamists and conspiracy theorists to Just Ask Questions about 9/11, days before the 9/11 twenty-five year anniversary.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has questions, just as Tuq'r Qarlson wants to know who really blew up WTC 7.

Democratic Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is scheduled to speak at an Islamic convention this weekend--six days before the 25th anniversary of 9/11--on a panel alongside a "9/11 truther" and a Muslim cleric conspiracy theorist who has called for an "examination" of the official narrative surrounding the terrorist attacks.
El-Sayed is headlining the Islamic Society of North America's annual convention in Detroit on Saturday. There, El-Sayed will speak on a panel to examine a "turmoiled America" alongside left-wing pundit Cenk Uygur and Zaid Shakir, an outspoken New Jersey-based cleric, according to a convention itinerary.
Both men have promoted conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11, in which al Qaeda operatives killed 2,977 Americans.
"I no longer believe [sic] official 9/11 story," Uygur declared in a social media rant in February. Uygur, who hosts the Young Turks YouTube show, is now pushing debunked claims about Israeli involvement in the attacks, including the "dancing Israelis" myth, an antisemitic conspiracy theory that posits that five Israeli spies filmed and celebrated the terrorist attack. "I didn't know we arrested Israeli spies who were here to 'document the event,'" wrote Uygur, who is the uncle of Hasan Piker, a close El-Sayed ally who has said that "America deserved 9/11."
Uygur was widely mocked for, as one outlet described it, "going full 9/11 truther."
Shakir has similarly called for an "examination" of what he described as "glaring weaknesses and inconsistencies" in the official 9/11 narrative. He has argued that the U.S. government used the attacks to "launch a war on Islam," and he directed followers to the writings of David Ray Griffin, a leading 9/11 conspiracy theorist who has argued that the United States orchestrated the attacks.
El-Sayed's appearance alongside the conspiracy theorists comes as his own record of seeking to minimize the horror of 9/11, and to draw equivalence between 9/11 victims and casualties of the war on terror, is under scrutiny.
...
El-Sayed has also faced withering scrutiny over his close ties to Piker, a popular left-wing influencer who has campaigned with El-Sayed. El-Sayed has repeatedly refused to fully disavow Piker's remarks about 9/11, saying that they have been "taken out of context" and that Piker is a victim of "cancel culture."
And El-Sayed has sought to link "Islamophobia" after 9/11 to health problems for Muslims and Arabs.
In a Sept. 11, 2012, essay for CNN that called Muslims "another victim of 9/11," El-Sayed cited a study conducted in California that found a dramatic increase in premature births for Muslim women after 9/11 compared with before the attacks. El-Sayed attributed the spike to "discrimination and marginalization" that Muslim women experienced after the attacks.
El-Sayed omitted from his essay the findings of his own study comparing birth outcomes for Muslim women before and after 9/11, however. El-Sayed's study, conducted in Michigan, found no difference in premature births for Muslim women after 9/11 and found overall that Arab and Muslim women were at "significantly" lower risk for premature births compared to white, black, and Asian mothers, the Free Beacon reported.
Shakir, in addition to propagating 9/11 conspiracy theories, has blamed Israel for other terrorist attacks and called for Muslims to use "guerrilla warfare" to achieve their desired political outcomes.

In related news: The media is attacking Bari Weiss for rewriting a "journalists'" headline about Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed deleting old tweets in which he suggested a moral equivalency between 9/11 and US war against Al Qaeda.

Bari Weiss personally directed this morning�s CBS News headline about Abdul El-Sayed to be tweaked to specifically mention deleted tweets referencing the September 11 terrorist attacks

Why the hell not? Top editors often get involved in headline writing. One reason they call them editors. (You don't want to know the editorial struggles over a 5 word cover line at Newsweek during the GHWB years.) 9-11 certainly seems a salient angle to the CBS piece.
"CBS' El-Sayed Scandal", on the other hand, is a BS hed. But they can put it on save-get and use it again.

He's knocking this "expose" for claiming the routine step of an editor rewriting the headline is a "scandal." Once again, lefties decide that subordinates should have the power to overrule their bosses, at least when the subordinate is further left than the boss. They constantly make this claim in the Trump Administration, claiming that all 50,000 of Trump's left-wing bureaucrats should have the right to set Trump Administration policy.

As for the "save-get" part -- I have no idea what that means.

If like NYT you have a smooth-running operation that reliably churns out subscriber-pleasing anti-GOP heds then maybe, like an Open Claw, it doesn't need much top-level supervision. Maybe CBS was like that, which could be why reporters seem to feel changing heds violates UN human rights protocols.

He continued, “now remember, Quebec has the sovereign party was in the lead, so that’s why they came up with this French nonsense. You think the American side talked about how people speak in Quebec?

That describes the Democrat party perfectly.

I never thought I would, well beyond 29, see so many in America not being able to see Communism for what it is, much less embracing it.

This is partially in thanks to a low period in American history called McCarthyism, which older Americans, of reasonable minds would like to forget.

So the DNC would rather risk Congress and the Senate than see DSA members win in the generals? Fuck them.

66 Gemini....

While giant edible tortilla-chip sombreros aren't a mass-market grocery store product yet, the structural concept definitely exists in cooking and party circles:

Taco Bowls & Skillet "Sombreros": Food channels and recipe sites frequently make "Sombrero Pies" or deep-fried tortilla bowls where a large, molded tortilla creates a raised crown in the center and a outer rim to hold ground beef, melted cheese, and salsa.

Ceramic Sombrero Platters: There are popular ceramic serving dishes shaped like a sombrero where the center "crown" holds the salsa or dip, and the wide outer brim holds a ring of regular tortilla chips.

The Structural Challenge: The reason major snack brands (like Doritos or Tostitos) haven't put a giant 12-inch edible chip hat in a bag comes down to shipping logistics. A pre-fried, hollow chip structure that thin would shatter into a hundred pieces before it ever reached the supermarket shelf.

If someone figures out how to package an giant, unbroken corn-chip hat that you can load up with taco meat, cheese, and jalapeños without structural failure, they'll have a massive party hit on their hands.

Later all.
Back to work.

I've suggested before that Pol Pot's Cambodia was the easiest example to use when attempting to teach leftists about communism. It was a small country (about 8 million people) for a small time (about a decade) and yet more than 25% of the population was either murdered or killed by neglect and incompetence. Its a short and sweet lesson.

I understand, but the 4 here did this because they were mad about something else. So what, friends and neighbors. Grow up, and vote accordingly. I realize they did in the end, but good grief.

As for a razor thin majority, yes, somethings are impossible. Equally, many things are possible, especially when everyone votes the way they are supposed to vote. Quiero que el voto apoye nuestra agenda. Menos machismo, más acción.

Humans like to pretend they are "preparing" their food. Even when a waitress brings it right to you, you often adjust the plate a little, right? You're "preparing" your food.

Close to one dozen California commercial driving schools have been shut down by the Trump administration after the feds claimed there was an alarming lack of English proficiency among drivers.

The 11 schools are located across the state — including in SoCal, the Bay Area and the Central Valley — according to documents shared with The California Post.

The driving schools were all closed due to failures associated with more than 5,000 drivers who failed English language proficiency tests across the nation.

Several of the driving schools reviewed by The California Post were marketed as multilingual, with at least two schools promising instructors who spoke “English, Punjabi, Hindi & Spanish!”

192 I had on Discovery when I wanted to sleep and needed something on I didn't give a damn about.

In addition to all the other woke, they had some large people there.

I always wanted to see a scene where they ordered food and the replicators gave them alternative low-calorie options.

On 'Strange New Worlds', Captain Pike cooks big meals for the crew on special occasions.

304 "save-get" is almost certainly newsroom slang for "save it and get it later"—basically, stick this headline in the file drawer and reuse the formula when another story comes along.

Kaus is talking about a headline ("hed" = headline in journalism jargon) and saying that "CBS' El-Sayed Scandal" is a bad or misleading headline. His joke is that editors can nevertheless save the template because it's a generic scandal headline that can be recycled endlessly:

"CNN's ___ Scandal"
"Trump's ___ Scandal"
"Biden's ___ Scandal"
etc.

So the meaning is roughly:

"This headline is nonsense, but it's such a reusable piece of clickbait that they can save it and pull it out again later."

Lindsay Clancy Jury Still Deadlocked
Plus: AWFUL Film-Maker Praises the Murder of the Bank of America VP and Celebrates Luigi Mangione

This is going to be a mistrial, and, instead of retrying the case, the prosecutors will realize the AWFUL "Mommyslueths" are about 60% of all women so no conviction will be possible. They'll offer a plea deal, something like ten years suspended sentence under psychiatric supervision.

By the way: I think there is a weak, but understandable, case for not guilty by reason of insanity here. I can understand the case for mercy.

What I don't understand is the "Mommysleuths" turning this psychotic child-murderer into an actual hero.

🚨 BREAKING: The Lindsay Clancy jury is UNABLE TO REACH A DECISION, AGAIN

This is freaking insane.

It's possible the jurors felt intimidated by the mental cases showing up at the trial, just as the George Floyd jurors were intimidated at having BLM "protesting" outside the court every day.

This pig calls herself a "crime junkie," and made a spectacle of filming all the jurors. Better decide right, jurors!

PLYMOUTH, Mass. -- The self-described crime junkie arrested for allegedly filming jurors in Lindsay Clancy's case was all smiles after she was released Wednesday following a hearing where prosecutors alleged she risked the "sanctity" of the killer mom's trial.
Dawn Light, 56, pleaded not guilty to the charge of aggravated intimidation of a juror in the same courthouse where Clancy's high-profile triple murder trial has been underway for the past six weeks.
Light -- a retired nurse -- allegedly pulled her blue Toyota into a "restricted area" of the court premises and filmed and took photos from inside the car as jurors were leaving court Tuesday afternoon, prosecutor Nicole Piacentini claimed.
The prosecutor asked the judge to hold Light on $50,000 bail, keep her away from the court and bar her from posting any video or photos she may have uploaded to the cloud.
Light is a "crime junkie" and Clancy supporter who has attended other high-profile murder trials, including for Alex Murdaugh and Karen Read, she revealed in an interview with CT Insider Wednesday.
When cops approached Light "she was adamant" she wasn't filming jurors but rather "waiting to see if Lindsay Clancy would come out of the building," the prosecutor claimed.
But when the cops looked inside her phone, they found a video of jurors walking out in her deleted folder, Piacentini alleged.
"This individual is not only videoing ... She went back to a restricted area. She was caught in that restricted area," the prosecutor said.

NEW: 56-year-old Dawn Light, arrested on a charge of felony jury intimidation after she was caught allegedly taking photos of jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial yesterday, is in some serious hot water.
Because the case involves a potential life sentence, the penalties for this are increased, meaning if Light is convicted, she can face up to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine under MA law.

In more AWFULS Are Broken and Thirst For Murder News, Lexi Alexander, a pissant director most famous for directing the not-very-good Punisher: War Zone, declared the murder of the Bank of America VP by the deranged female knife-killer was a good thing and invoked Luigi Mangione's murder of the United Healthcare executive, likening Mangione to... Batman.

Oh, and she's Palestinian, so she was already a fan of the so-called "Stabbing Intifada."

A Palestinian-American filmmaker who directed cult classic "Green Street Hooligans" celebrated the death of young executive and new mom Erin Piacenti by posting a meme about alleged CEO-killer Luigi Mangione.
Lexi Alexander, who was also nominated for an Academy Award in 2003 for a short film she directed, posted an image on social media Tuesday of Batman staring up at a bat signal replaced with Mangione's face.
The sick meme was shared in response to another post that identified Piacenti, who was killed by a mentally ill woman in Times Square, as a vice president at Bank of America.
Alexander, who is also a world champion martial artist, also claimed in a comment on her own post that Israeli "bots" were "out in full swing just like the first time we asked people to boycott BofA."
The filmmaker shared a link to a January Haaretz article about the company's recommendation to invest in Israeli banks.
"Israel doesn't care about the woman who got killed, they care about the positive rating BofA gave them in the middle of a genocide. There is huge money at stake,"
The post received almost 400,000 views by Wednesday afternoon -- with many users who commented blasting the director for cheering the death of an innocent woman who was murdered in her prime.
"A young woman was murdered while innocently walking down the street, and you are celebrating," one user wrote. "You are absolute human garbage, and I suspect you know that deep-down."
Alexander's representatives did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.
Piacenti, 32, had just finished her first day back at work after a five-month maternity leave when she was fatally stabbed in the abdomen with a kitchen knife in Times Square on Monday afternoon by Pamela Cisneros, 49, who also stabbed another man before she was shot dead by police.
...
She has been outspoken in her criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza after the outbreak of the war with Hamas in Oct. 2023.

No shit?

Meanwhile:

Ephreana Brady was arrested in Tennessee after she allegedly shot and k*lled her own 2-year-old daughter.

To answer the question: No, they won't valorize her. The AWFUL "Mommysleuths" are bored stupid white housewives who are addicted to ID and Lifetime Original Movies. Their interest in crime is chiefly about the domestic drama soap-opera aspect of it. They like their Heroic Murderesses to be white and suburban and college educated (?) like they are. This allows them to project themselves into the stories like Mary Sues and imagine being frenz with the female killers.

Also: They're all Libras and this black murderess is obviously a Capricorn. You can see it in her eyes -- she has that Capricorn "vibe."

If you're ever threatened by a Capricorn, just cast a Spell of Binding on a carrot or a leek and then break it while chanting, "I break you as I break this carrot (or leek, obviously)." Works every time.

That's just #Science, dummies. Don't you Drumpf-Dummies understand #Science??!?!

Can you imagine this dynamic if it were a man? That murdered his 3 kids while his wife went out? And he started talking about depression?

If you want to know why women are willing to completely ruin lives (including their children's) during a divorce and basically lie about everything, look no further than how they conducted themsleves on this.

Nearly half of women somehow think this is the husband's fault.

In mom's case, it was just the thing a married woman did. They kept trying until they got a boy. I was the fourth girl, so, mostly a throwaway. I'm sure these days we just say use contraception, which is never an option for Catholics, but back then, only whores used contraception (according to certain levels of society). At any rate, I think a lot of women who grew up with very few siblings have no idea what childbearing or child raising involves, since they never saw it. They are woefully unprepared to deal with it. I know DH had no idea how to change a diaper or that you had to burp a baby. He never grew up around childcare. So it probably comes as a surprise. Plus, there are very few stay at home moms who pool resources anymore. I remember 16 or more kids in our backyard while other moms went to the beauty parlor or grocery store. That doesn't happen now.

66 One of my current podcast listens is Actual Friends, where IRL friends Dr Drew, Dave Rubin, Jillian Michaels, and Sage Steele shoot the breeze on current news and politics. All recovering lefties that have moved right.

Their recent episode covering Clancy was where Dr Drew talked about the resources and connections Clancy had to get help, being a nurse.

I appreciated Sage's take on Clancy's mental state and her compassion, because before the ep I was all "just fry her." Sage suffered postpartum depression, which is different from psychosis, but she was able to talk about the isolation and despite you feel ok that mental space.

They all agreed it's just a tragedy all around, and I 100% feel that too. Her doctors and Big Pharma failed her. She was suffering and clearly needed more mental help. She failed as a mom and a human by snuffing out the life of her vulnerable children.

As said many times before, if you are incapable of being found guilty because of severe illness, you are not capable of living freely in society.

Also, another dangerous thing has locked into our post-modern society. That is, prison is primarily a venue for reform. Utterly stupid and wrong. The reform of prisoners is not and has not been a element of accountability. It's rare, and more importantly, only extraneous. The purpose is to remove dangerous or unethical people from preying on society.

79 The only thing this demonization of mental illness does is further stigmatize it and make people even more afraid to seek help.

I've been in psychosis. There is no control, there is no reality.

I saw some comments yesterday like “MY mom had PPD and because she’s actually a good person, she never thought about killing me!!” And like?? Congrats? YOUR mom didn’t suffer the same thing that other women do. Don’t act like your mom is on some moral high horse.

Her life has been destroyed, regardless. Her children are gone. Marriage destroyed. Family changed forever. Whether she ends up in prison or a psychiatric hospital, there are no happy days ahead for her, I wager. On top of all of this she is paralyzed and incontinent for the rest of her life, and she is not an old woman. It's a tragedy all around.

Prison isn't going to help anything.

We have such a long way to go when it comes to mental health for women. I also hate how so many men assume they understand a disorder that’s exclusively experienced by women

I think feminists, being not-so-secretly great admirers of what they call "toxic masculinity," thirst for violence because they feel that makes them "equal to men.'

But the thing is, they've been almost entirely immune to violence their whole lives so they romanticize the power of violence.

Men have grown up being physically bullied and figthing and playing contact sports and so forth and so have developed an ethical framework for violence. You see all these left-wing women urging violence and praising killing because they have no framwork for containing and controlling violence. It all seems like a #GirlPower fun time to them.

84 "I think there is a weak, but understandable, case for not guilty by reason of insanity here. I can understand the case for mercy."

I think only at most in terms of sentencing. Not guilt. She might not deserve the same punishment as someone who plainly murdered their kids in pure cold blood because she wanted to be with a guy who didn't want kids. (This has happened, btw.)

But any diminished mental capacity shouldn't affect her guilt. We need to get past the pro-criminal commie idea that "insanity" gets you a not-guilty verdict.

101 No, they won't valorize her. The AWFUL "Mommysleuths" are bored stupid white housewives who are addicted to ID and Lifetime Original Movies. Their interest in crime is chiefly about the domestic drama soap-opera aspect of it. They like their Heroic Murderesses to be white and suburban and college educated (?) like they are. This allows them to project themselves into the stories like Mary Sues and imagine being frenz with the female killers.

------

Won't matter if they do. Ephreana will be tried in rural TN, she'll be found guilty of first-degree murder, and be sentenced to no less than 51 years before possibility of parole.

But she murdered a child, so it will be life without possibility.

119 This is going to be a mistrial, and, instead of retrying the case, the prosecutors will realize the AWFUL "Mommyslueths" are about 60% of all women so no conviction will be possible. They'll offer a plea deal, something like ten years suspended sentence under psychiatric supervision.

120 One question I have about the Clancy case:

How does she feel about becoming a martyr for all these psychotic TikTok moms? She can see them lining the route, but I assume she can't go on the internet. Would she be appalled at what they are doing? Or thrilled?

If it was me, if I was on trial for killing my kids, and I could finally make a public statement, I would tear them all a new one, tell them off for lionizing me. That I regret what I did and want to die, how dare they use me like this for their own agendas. That they are all sick and need help and I hope their spouses take away their kids and get full custody. Because their kids clearly aren't safe with them.

If she's truly psycho and a narcissist, though, she might love it. And will spin it into a book deal or influencer movement if she can.

I hope not. I hope she'd be horrified at the monstrous, satanic underbelly of modern motherhood that she's unwittingly unleashed.

124 It should have been a mistrial yesterday when some of the non-biased/sarcasm women jurors wore pink.

The pink "ladies" should not be within 100yds of the courthouse. Certainly not close enough to influence the jurors or the media circus.

Then today when that whack job took photos of the jury: mistrial. That was pure intimidation.

In the next trail there should be perimeters far away from the courthouse & jurors sequestered. Simple as that.

I was on a federal jury (banking) in Orlando. Not sequestered but put in a hotel as I lived over an hour away. I was told NOT to look at the story online or in papers for the 3 nights.

I spent the time watching a documentary on Dolly Madison. I was paranoid "they" would figure out what I was watching or want to see my laptop. I ain't no fool.

I was not the foreman but to prevent a hung jury (pool was 1/2 Dim & GOP from voting registration, or so I read), I sort of took over. Which is normal for me.

The Dims were bleeding hearts over the developer who stole money from banking deals. I was not a bleeding heart. He also looked to be in the mob. Guilty.

I read my notes and swayed them with common sense and we found him guilty and went home.

Btw, some of these "Mommysleuths" said that Lindsay's husband was really responsible for the murders because, in part, he had that look in his eyes like Private Pyle did before his own anheroing in "Full Metal Jacket".

Hey retards, this man lost his 3 kids, his (former) wife (regardless of what happens to her post-trial), and he'll probably never fully trust a woman again, regardless of what he said about Lindsay. Yeah, I'd have the same hollow eyes.

Three days ago a gunman opened fire outside Venture-N, a Tucson gay bar. Two men dead. The shooter dead. Police now call it a targeted hate crime. He had a list of LGBTQ businesses on him.

You probably even didn’t heard about it.

Because the shooter wasn’t the approved villain. He WASN’T a white Christian nationalist. He was Ousman Ceesay, 44, a Muslim immigrant born in The Gambia. He confronted two men in the parking lot and started shooting.

One of the victims was Cameron Davis Capara, a well-known local photographer and left- wing political activist who spent years documenting pro-Palestine marches, anti-ICE actions, anti-Trump, anti-fascism rallies, and anti-capitalist “No Kings” circles. The other was Vincent Anthony Siqueiros.

Both were killed where they stood.

Police didn’t rush out a mugshot package. Some coverage danced around the shooter’s background. National cameras never really showed up. No wall-to-wall specials. No Democratic officials lining up at podiums to denounce homophobia and demand action. The story dropped fast.

They're far from the worst pollster. In 2024, their final GCB poll said D+2. Their summer poll (late July) said R+4. Final result was R+2.

In 2022, their final poll said R+6. Their summer poll (early September) said D+2. They also had a late July poll that saw a tie. Final result was R+3.

Noisy, not exact, but reasonably reflective of what would happen...even in their final summer poll last cycle.

232 No mercy for Clancy to give, other than her realization, at times, that she planned and murdered her own children who could not fight back. How do you live with that?

Have read she had a nanny during all this. For 3.5 days a week the older two were in preschool/daycare. She had it easy based on most of us who could not afford a nanny.

I worked around our boys as a RN with my husband often out of town. We had no family to rely on, & new friends who worked & did not have kids. I was it with no back up to help for anything with the boys. It never occured to me to harm them, no matter how chimpy they got.

The only time I felt clinically depressed for 2 wks in the late '80's. We'd all had the flu then got mycoplasma (which mildly damaged my lungs). Exhausted & this led to depression. Boys 2 and 4yrs old.

I called my mother, brother and then best friend to ask if they could come help and they couldn't. Not once did I consider hurting our boys as I just wanted to sleep. I felt like what I read about having mono with no energy. I cried, which is rare. Then I got better.

Lucky, too, in that their father helped with everything with sons. Canceled trips if they were ill.

The police arrived (alerted by some hired workers who found pieces of body) and they sent in a robot thingy to look around the house for explosives and stuff. And, the daughter is in side waving her hands at the robot trying to cast a spell on it.

She was found sane enough to stand trial.

243 It's like those stupid girls who punch much bigger, stronger men. They have no idea what comes next. But a man would know, and most likely not punch a bigger guy.

There was a story a few years ago where a petite coed confronted a college football player. I think she had been a one night stand or something and didn't like it.

So she got in his face and started yelling. Then punched him which had no effect because, well, she really wasn't very strong.

He in turn punched her once full strength and knocked her to the ground and I think she was in rehab for a few months.

He went to jail.

259 I will say one thing that I believe definitely works in Clancy's case is that she comes across as a sympathetic character. As awful as her crimes were, she doesn't look particularly malicious or malevolent. She sobbed many times throughout the trial (so I've read) and she's sitting there in a wheelchair. Even I've felt an amount of grief for her over what she's done. I'm not saying I wouldn't have convicted her. I was not in the courtroom, nor did I hear all the testimony about her true medical/mental state. If I had to hazard a guess, I would've found her guilty, but I would've taken no pleasure in it.

Sadly, the stigma against moms with kids who died of SIDS has caused a lack of funding and research. So SIDS still causes thousands of infant deaths a year.

So many privileges the rest of us don't have. Went to some of the best doctors in the country for her mental stuff. And her husband paid for the nanny and the doctors, used paternity leave to be with her for the third child, and arranged it with his job that he worked at home.

I told that bit about the working from home to my husband, and he said oh the husband clearly knew she was nutty then, he arranged to work at home to make sure she didn't do anything. I hadn't thought of that. He also told her therapist before the killings she needed more help but they seemed to dismiss it. He's suing the therapist for failing her.

But the husband clearly had done all he could to help. Apparently she had postpartum depression with the first two, and it was hell. But she finally got over it. He probably thought "this too shall pass," until it tragically didn't.

Sadly, the stigma against moms with kids who died of SIDS has caused a lack of funding and research. So SIDS still causes thousands of infant deaths a year.
Posted by: Elric The Blade at September 02, 2026 04:09 PM (iFTx/)

Strange how the # of SIDS increased right along with the # of vaccinations they were required to get in rapid succession the first 6 months of life.

But don't use that as an indicator that anything is wrong. Kids just die. So be it.

291 It's like those stupid girls who punch much bigger, stronger men. They have no idea what comes next. But a man would know, and most likely not punch a bigger guy.

There was a story a few years ago where a petite coed confronted a college football player. I think she had been a one night stand or something and didn't like it.

So she got in his face and started yelling. Then punched him which had no effect because, well, she really wasn't very strong.

He in turn punched her once full strength and knocked her to the ground and I think she was in rehab for a few months.

He went to jail.

Some women just do not understand strength differences or won't bother considering it.

**********
Many SIDS cases were from sleeping with parents/mother in her bed vs murder. Soft mattress, pillows and comforters.

Which is why, I think?, SIDS cases declined since putting babies on their backs in safe cribs without pillows, stuffed animals or quilts. My grands slept in sleep sacks, with arms unrestrained.

The rates of SIDS was reported to have increased by 11% in 2025. Blaming smoking, race, co-sleeping, and poverty (my edit: ignorance and probably drugs).

Some, yes.

Because that's the generalized movement every year, summer is very D friendly, and then it gets more R friendly as autumn comes.

It's that direction literally every year because the polling errors are not random or due to statistical noise. It's because it's a concerted effort by the polling firm to prop up Democrats.

Which is why freaking out about summer polling looking bad for Republicans is pointless.

Eduardo Teodorani (sometimes listed as Teodorani‑Fabbri)
Jean‑Luc Brunel
Daniel Siad

The American public does not move 10 points in a few weeks in terms of political decisions. The late summer/early autumn movement towards Republicans is fake. At best, it's response bias (progressives like talking to pollsters more than conservatives). It's more than likely cheap polling firms modeling badly and intentionally so.

It might have been true that conservatives paid less attention to politics in like the 70s in a completely different media environment. It's not true now.

Beautiful children. Not that ugly children should be murdered...but their little faces make me sad.

My mother told me, during the chimp era of boys, "not to spank when you are mad." I found that quite odd advice based on when are you supposed to spank them? Plus the fact that she never did & told us to wait til our father got home.

I gave one a whack on 2yy baby's diapered bottom once when the he bit the heck out of his older brother who was screaming. The older one messed with the baby til he went loco. Had a full dental impression on his bare shoulder. They were in time out a lot after my glare and talking sense into them.

Didn't know the father worked at home during this time. Wow.

What on earth did mommy do with a nanny? Did the kids interfere with her mani/pedis? Her ladies who lunch dates?

I would not know as I was a full time mother til they hit kindergarten and beyond.

Yes. Men, no matter WHAT leftist retards say, can't get pregnant.

If a female soldier survives her captivity, the odds on her being pregnant are significant. She has to live with that the rest of her life, no matter what 'choice' is made.

Wheel her in strapped to a gurney and on Haldol. There. Problem solved.

She SHOULD be there, again, for it all. She should have tried harder to kill herself to avoid this. Hanging off a gutter from the roof did not work (with superficial cuts to wrist and throat).

These wimmen are not giving a career in nursing a good name, are they?

The nurse who murdered premies in the UK I wanted to strangle myself. She had some sort of Munchausen's Grief Trauma need for attention. So she I could diagnose, altho she's a demon.

Mommy's with a nanny, daycare for siblings, and extensive maternity leave from L&D (plus a husband who worked from home) are a mystery to me.

This is a strange point of overlap between two typically very opposed groups: feminists and religious Tradcons. For feminists women are never to be held accountable because of the oppressive male patriarchy. For religious Tradcons, women are never to be held accountable because their husbands are the ones responsible because headship and leadership. End result is the same: the woman is ultimately never to blame, it's because men failed her.

I've always been against female in combat roles. Soldiers fight, soldiers get captured, soldiers get tortured. Women get raped.

The FIRST thing everyone worried about when that silly broad made the wrong turn in Iraq and got captured was that she was being raped.

When they found her, she was in a hospital, but miraculously wasn't sexually assaulted.

Considering who we're fighting against, there's a very strong argument to be made that the men captured will also be raped. Doubly so for the ladies.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at September 02, 2026 04:24 PM (FZ29D)

If memory serves, Lynch wasn't raped/molested but one of the other women captured in the convoy was.

Look up the uncensored version of what happened to Lara Logan in Tahrir Square in Cairo after the revolution against Mubarak. It's horrific. Those savages basically ripped off her clothes and two of them got their hands inside of her and tried to split her in two. American women in uniform would probably suffer even worse if they were captured.

I should call them both today and tell them they are lucky to have lived to make it to school with only their Mom taking care of them.

When we moved to FL we had no family and only my dude's work friends. Elderly neighbors who were nice.

Prosecutor Who Blew the Whistle on "Tish" James' Unethical Demand to "Dig Up Dirt" on Trump and His Friends Sits Down for Several-Hour Interview with Federal Prosecutors

This gigantic mutant hag might finally get some justice.

Or at least she'll get prosecutorial process-- which the left has used for decades as a punishment in itself.

Fed investigators met with Tish James whistleblower who claimed he was pushed to dig up dirt on Trump: sources

The whistleblower in Attorney General Letitia James' office who said he was ordered to dig up dirt on President Trump met with federal prosecutors for "several hours" Tuesday, sources said.
Daniel Wiesenfeld, a former Brooklyn prosecutor and a lawyer in James' office, had a lengthy sit-down with both criminal and civil attorneys from the FBI and the US Department of Justice over his bombshell claims, the sources told The Post.
The extent of the feds' interest in the case is unclear.

I bet I can name one top-ranking fed who is very interested in this, and his opinion carries more weight than most others'.

Wiesenfeld, who has been placed on paid administrative leave, claimed in a since-deleted Friday email to colleagues that was leaked to the Times-Union that his boss, Investor Protection Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe, instructed him "to find and pursue crimes" by Trump allies.
"If you believe Trump is using the [Department of Justice] attorneys to prosecute his enemies to further his political interests, you should find it equally troubling that Tish [James] is doing exactly the same thing," the email allegedly said.
In a statement this week, James' office called the scandal "a personnel matter."

LOL. What I illegally order my prosecutors to do is just an personnel matter. We just have an internal disagreement about whether I broke the law.

Did I murder my wife and children? It's none of your business. It's a family matter. Please respect my privacy and give me space to grieve.

...
However, the Trump administration this week fired back at James in a scathing statement.
"This is more proof of the weaponization of the justice system by Letitia James to target President Trump and her political opponents," White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis said. "The far-left Democrats' lawfare against President Trump, his family must stop."

Unrelated, except it involves the corrupt shithole state of New York:

Yesterday, a crazed woman butchered another woman with a kitchen knife and wounded two others. Cops shot tasers at her, but she pulled out the darts and they had no effect, because she's a landwhale and probably up to her gills in drugs.

Cops shot her as she rushed one cop with her kitchen knife extended before her.

Obviously, you knew this was coming: the knife-attacker is an Oppressed Minority (TM) so you just knew the racist left would begin pushing the "Why didn't they just shoot the knife out of her hand?" bullshit they pull whenever an Oppressed Minority is shot attacking cops.

In this case, the crazed assailant's mom is demanding to know why the cops didn't just take their stabbings like men and just tackle the knife-crazed maniac.

The mother of the crazed Queens woman who killed a new mom and seriously wounded an elderly dad in a terrifying Times Square stabbing spree is questioning why cops didn't just "grab" her daughter rather than fatally shoot her when she charged at them with knives.

NYPD officers attempted to deploy tasers, but they were ineffective. She then rushed at them while waving the knives, prompting two officers to open fire, the dramatic footage shows.
"There were so many police... why didn't they grab her by the arm?" Cisneros' mother, who did not give her name, asked Fox 5 News in Spanish.

In Spanish, huh? I've been wondering about her immigration status. As no one is reporting on it, I imagine the reasons for the non-reportage of it are the usual reasons.

...
Cisneros suffers from what her brother described to The Post Tuesday as bipolar disorder, but said she'd been receiving treatment in recent years and "never showed any aggressiveness."
"I don't know what happened," Patrick Peralta, 59, said, adding his sister had found some stability through medication in recent years and reported feeling "fine" as recently as Saturday.
Cisneros, of Queens, had a documented mental health history with police, including a suicide attempt.
Cisneros drew the attention from NYPD cops in December 2018 when she was belligerent, intoxicated and screaming along Lexington Avenue, sources said. She then tried to kill herself in March 2019 by jumping in front of an E train in Queens, sources said.
Court records show that Cisneros' marriage fell apart around this time, with her husband filing for divorce in Hillsborough County, Florida, during 2020. The divorce was finalized last year.
...
Cisneros had whipped out two knives from a red Target bag and stabbed the first victim, Tak Kam, a 68-year-old dad from Rhode Island, in the abdomen as he exited the subway on West 41st Street and was waiting to cross the street, police said.
She then continued up to 42nd Street and seconds later fatally stabbed Piacenti -- a vice president at Bank of America who had just returned from maternity leave.

I don't blame the mom for this stupid objection. When your child is killed, you're going to spin out reasons why this was unfair and why cops should have just let your innocent baby stab as many people as she could before she got all tuckered out and took a nap.

I mean, it's a tough thing to process. I get that. A child is the most important thing in the world to a parent, and many would trade other people's lives for their child's.

Fine.

But society, of course, can definitely not trade innocent people's lives, including those of cops, for the lives of crazed violent killers.

So while I can excuse the mother's stupid babblings, I do not excuse the ambulance-chasing racists of the tribal left, who take cases like this and blow them up into national crises, with the eager assistance of the traitor media.

We'll see if the corrupt Soros Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg, prosecutes the cops like he prosecuted Daniel Perry.

50 I learned about how the perp was TASER'ed before being shot. TASER was the warning shot. She somehow shrugged it off and still went after the cops right after already having stabbed two people.

Sometimes, rabid dogs need to be put down.

Jesse Waters, while on the Five, discussed the Butcher Knife Bitch's takedown by the cops. He went on and on about all the things they could do to disarm her, like in the movies. Shoot the knives. Use a whip to disarm her, like Indiana Jones. I don't know if I missed any special context as he played it straight rather than dripping in condescending sarcasm, so Poe's Law is in full force there.

I wish Greg would have done a rejoinder to Jesse, mentioning the fact that Indy also faced a blade-wielding maniac. One that flashed his shiny weapon all around.

Indy drew his gun and shot him.

This is one of the times when the media's insistence on balls-out bias hurts.

I don't know either, but I ABSOLUTELY assume she's illegal.

When a white guy shoots up a school, we know absolutely everything about him and his family within 24 hours. News crews are posted up outside GamGam's yard, just shrieking for comment.

When a black guy gets shot by the police or in the commission of a crime, we get the background, the yearbook picture, et al. Shit, they did that with the lady up in MN just a few months ago - full on Glamour Shot spread in the media.

There's none of that now.

I assume that's because there IS no yearbook picture. Because she's illegal.

The problem is usually state law, not federal. For instance, here in KY our statute reads as follows:

"No person shall be involuntarily hospitalized unless such person is a mentally ill person:
(1) Who presents a danger or threat of danger to self, family or others as a result of the mental illness;
(2) Who can reasonably benefit from treatment; and
(3) For whom hospitalization is the least restrictive alternative mode of treatment presently available."

Note the "and" after (2), meaning all three elements have to be satisfied. So we have criminally insane people that have been found incompetent to stand trial, yet won't benefit from treatment for purposes of civil commitment.

132 There are a lot of video out about cops being "over aggressive."

Often the cops are justified, sometimes they are just being asses, and most common they are justified but the fact that they have to do this is a sad commentary on our society. Like in this case.

No cop should have to deal with these people, and when they do, they should not be expected to put their own bodies at risk.That woman is not worth the bones of a dead precinct rat.

But they never ask how we got here?
a) we import millions of scum from all over the world.
b) we let their crimes progress without any penalty or punishment
c) we tell them the country is evil and they are entitled
d) we tell them that our ancestors wronged their ancestors.

If you want to live in a safe society, you have to fix all that first. Then, when a cop sees someone having a mental breakdown with a knife (tm) he will have sympathy and try his best not to shoot her.

If a mistrial is called -- and I think it will be -- then she is neither convicted nor acquitted. She still faces the charges and the prosecutor can re-try the case. Or they could reach a plea deal.

Or the prosecutor can walk away.

I personally think the prosecutor can try the case 100x and not get a guilty verdict.

Well, with a mother's tendency to turn their attention inward, toward the family, no other mother's family was affected. So, she didn't cross family boundaries.

And it affirms their flights of fantasy and their own conception of their plight and the control that a woman "should" have over their family.

You really can't understand, you see.

Until the feminization of politics, I believe almost no man would try to get away with "You can't understand my position", because men (which operating best) check each other.

It's arguably why men go to war. Take a look at the tribe of Benjamin in the book of Judges. The judge of Benjamin refused to discipline a gang of violent rapists. So, the men of the other tribes had to.

(Nobody is a hero in that tale, though.)

The word “State” in section 404 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 encompasses all component agencies within a state. The mandatory reporting obligations in section 404(b)–(c) thus apply to all agencies within
a “State” that participates in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Supplemental Security Income programs subject to those requirements.

Meanwhile, another possible Clancy copycat:

@CollinRugg
JUST IN: Locals fear a Lindsay Clancy copycat incident has taken place in Frankfort, Illinois, after a 2-year-old child was murdered.
Police are calling the incident a "domestic-related homicide." The child's mother was found "attempting self-harm"

Self harm cannot become the get out of jail free card for child murderers. It just cannot.

192 I saw a video a where a cop is called to a domestic disturbance.

He is talking on his shoulder mounted mic walking towards a house when a woman comes bursting out with a knife screaming.

He started backing up and reaching for his pistol as she closed the 20 ft or so and he shot her at point blank range.

We have a lot of cases of Officer McDonut doing ridiculous things while arguing he just "wants to get home safely at the end of the day" but we also have plenty of cases where cops need to be armed and respond with fatal force and having a screaming maniac charge you with a knife is one of them.

It would be best if tasers were discontinued as a law enforcement tool. They're often not effective, and they create an expectation of non-lethal force in situations in which the police are fully justified in exercising it.

Remember, when you abandon God, he abandons you to your perversity. "Perversity" means to "thoroughly turn".

You do not have the protection in your mind, but only the confusion of one thought precariously stacked on another, as you please. And I think it's just a part of our nature that if we spurn God, he allows us to become illustrations of the perversity of our thought.

We thought the ideas of civility were ours. And we thought we could balance civil order and forgiveness on our own. But the Lord gave us a model of the price of general forgiveness.

We just think we can improve on the idea.

It's too late now mama, by why didn't your family years ago grab her and keep hold of her with family members ensuring that she kept on her meds, and if a danger to herself or others, have the authorities alerted and action taken. Leaving this up to police after she has already taken one life and almost another is way too late. Three tasers wouldn't stop her and a bullett was the only option.

Posted by: Oldcat

I remember a video of a cop responding to something minor, like a suspicious person call. There's a young black guy in a coat that keeps walking away from the cop and refusing to interact. The cop (because the guy just roughly matches the description, and probably to avoid being called racist) doesn't have his weapon out, is following the guy, and trying to be nice and asks him repeatedly to just stop for a second. As the cop gets really close, the kid just whips around with a pistol in his hand and shoots the cop. Real footage...I can't find it, or recall if the cop died (or was just horribly injured).

332 >>> The worst thing on this case is that she is a nurse. So she knew about the side efects of these drugs. And she would have known that she slit her wrists in the wrong direction to bleed out. I've been trying to figure out wh se didn't put an exercise band around her own neck and hang herself.

Dr Drew had a good take on the tragedy of this: she's a nurse who helps with children and babies. If she was hearing voices or felt like the drugs weren't working, she had a massive Rolodex of medical experts at her disposal. Friends and colleagues who would believe her and fly to her aid to get her help. She ignored all of that.

The abortion normalcy is completely creeping into this discussion. It’s mercy to abort for all kinds of reasons, according to the activists, so it’s just a tiny step over the line to justify your living, functioning children, huh?

you have to keep pressing to change the world to allow more, because in your core you never have convinced yourself that your abortions weren't important.

A consumer internet app in the early to mid 90s? I'd believe early to mid 2000s.

In mom's case, it was just the thing a married woman did. They kept trying until they got a boy. I was the fourth girl, so, mostly a throwaway. I'm sure these days we just say use contraception, which is never an option for Catholics, but back then, only whores used contraception (according to certain levels of society). At any rate, I think a lot of women who grew up with very few siblings have no idea what childbearing or child raising involves, since they never saw it. They are woefully unprepared to deal with it. I know DH had no idea how to change a diaper or that you had to burp a baby. He never grew up around childcare. So it probably comes as a surprise. Plus, there are very few stay at home moms who pool resources anymore. I remember 16 or more kids in our backyard while other moms went to the beauty parlor or grocery store. That doesn't happen now.
