Thursday Overnight Open Thread - August 27, 2026
Get out there and take a look at the moon! On the night of 27 August 2026 the Earth's shadow will slide across a full Moon and turn it copper for more than an hour, a partial lunar eclipse visible from the Americas without any equipment except a clear sky
...weather permitting, the full Moon over the Americas is going to do something it will not do again for more than two years. Beginning in the late evening of Thursday, August 27, Earth’s shadow will creep across the lunar surface until, a little after midnight on the East Coast, 96 percent of the Moon sits inside it, glowing a dim, rusty copper with only a bright sliver left along one edge. Technically it is a partial lunar eclipse. Practically, it is about as close to a total one as a partial can get, and astronomers are calling it the best lunar eclipse anywhere on Earth until New Year’s Eve 2028. *** For viewers in the eastern half of North America, the timeline runs like this. The subtle penumbral shading begins around 9:24 pm Eastern time on the 27th. The real event, the partial phase, starts at 10:34 pm, when the curved edge of Earth’s dark inner shadow, the umbra, takes its first visible bite out of the Moon. The shadow advances for the next hour and a half until maximum eclipse at 12:12 am Eastern, when 96.3 percent of the disk is immersed and the Moon hangs copper-red in the sky. The shadow then slides off, with the partial phase ending at 1:52 am and the whole affair over by 3 am. Subtract the hours for other zones: maximum comes at 11:12 pm Central, 10:12 pm Mountain, 9:12 pm Pacific. West Coast viewers see the Moon rise with the eclipse already underway, low in the southeastern sky, which is a gift for photographers who want a shadowed Moon hanging over a skyline.Please share your respective moon-gazing experiences tonight. If you get any good photos, please send them my way - you may see them on a future ONT!
----- Black spray paint has many uses
These facts may or may not be related. 1. You can buy cans of black spray paint at Walmart for under 3 bucks. 2. Paint on a solar panel is a bad idea, it will block all the light and make the panel useless. 3. From a distance a panel sprayed with black paint would look just fine. 4. Flock Cameras are solar powered and the area of their panel surface is 595 square inches 5. A single can of spray paint can fully cover 2880 square inches. 6. 2880 divided by 595 is 4.84 See kids math is a valuable skill you really will need it in the real world.----- Pushback against Flock in Oshkosh, Wisconsin
A police chief in Oshkosh, Wisconsin caught Flock lying to his city council, and killed the $8 billion surveillance company's contract less than a day after the council had approved it. Here's how it happened. The night before, Oshkosh's council was set to renew its deal with Flock Safety, the license plate camera company backed by a16z and Tiger Global. One council member asked the Flock rep a plain yes-or-no question. Does this system build a heat map of everywhere a specific car travels over time? Flock's rep said no. The council believed him and voted 5 to 2 to renew. By the next morning, Chief Dean Smith's own officers had told him that answer was false. So he pulled up the system himself. He watched it generate the exact heat map Flock had just sworn it couldn't make. Then he walked into an emergency meeting and said it out loud: "Because of this misrepresentation, I can no longer recommend Flock." Understand what a heat map is, because it's the whole trick.Hit the link to read the whole thing ----- Flock being used as a revenue generation tool.

----- Asshoes Felony charges dropped against Golden Gate Bridge protesters
A two-year legal battle over a dramatic protest against the war on Gaza came to an end on Friday as seven protesters who’d blocked traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge received 30-day sentences and $1,000 fines. Over two dozen activists halted several lanes of traffic on the bridge on April 15, 2024, six months into Israel’s war in the Palestinian territory that has been widely recognized as a genocide. San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins charged 26 of them with crimes. Most were offered diversion, in the form of fines and community service, but Jenkins hit seven protesters with a raft of serious charges, including felony conspiracy. *** After a two-and-a-half-week trial, jurors deadlocked in June over the most serious charges but convicted the protesters on several misdemeanors, including obstructing a thoroughfare, unlawful assembly, and four counts of false imprisonment related to trapped commuters. Jenkins’ office had considered a new trial on the conspiracy charges, but assistant district attorney Angela Roze announced on Friday that the remaining charges would all be dropped.Emphasis mine. Screw you, AP. "Widely recognized"?? Again - screw you. Oh there are links in that article. Go ahead and check them out - if you dare. The protesters are asshoe, and the AP is asshoe.

Best of luck Dave.
Fingerme was hilarious. Worth the price of admission right there. It has to be gone now if it ever existed.
I have to get back to work but this came up and I had Chat double-check.
The Juneau fact is real, but your instinct caught the wording issue.
Juneau absolutely has local roads.
The City and Borough of Juneau says Glacier Highway extends about 40 miles north of downtown, but there are no roads out of Juneau. Alaska DOT describes Juneau as the largest North American community not connected to the continental highway system; outside access is by air or water/ferry.
So I changed the production wording to the more precise:
“No road connects Juneau to the continental highway system.”
The Alaska fact also checks out: Alaska is larger than Texas + California + Montana combined. Federal material explicitly makes that comparison, and current Census area figures support it.
Hmmm. Interesting. Learning is fun.
Good night all.
Back to work.

The penumbral phase has well begun, but you can't really see the difference in brightness. Well trained less than 29 yr old eyes can detect the subtle change in brightness.
Umbral phase will begin in about 10 minutes, at 10:33 EDT.

We’ve had data centers for decades. Nobody gave a fuck. Now it’s an existential threat to our lives? Interesting. We’ve also had traffic cameras forever. Nobody noticed nobody cared. Now these cameras are the biggest issue in the land Al of a sudden? Not to mention that every house has a ring camera pointing at the street. Cops have used those for the same purpose they use flock.
Somethings fishy how these two issues burst onto the scene out of the blue like that.

Moon names (from the Injuns):
Jan, Feb, Mar: Wolf, Snow, Worm
April, May, June: Pink, Flower, Strawberry
July, August, Sept: Buck, Sturgeon, Corn
Oct, Nov, Dec: Hunter's, Beaver, Cold
Now, the Full Moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox is called the Harvest Moon.
I group them in threes in the above because of the alternative seasonal naming convention. The list goes, Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall.
In the seasonal convention, this Moon would be a Corn Moon, the last full Moon of Summer.

Most of coastal British Columbia is exactly the same. The coastal highway ends a few miles beyond Powell River. It's the fjords. Too wide near the mouth to bridge, often too steep-sided to build a road around, and not enough potential traffic to make such a construction worthwhile. But roads from the heads of the fjords into the interior are possible, and exist in some places.

Fracking gives us affordable fuel from formations that were long thought to be worthless. It is far from clear that AI is worth a bucket of warm spit. Apples and road apples. Having said that, data centers, and proposed data centers should be examined on their merits. Will they do anything useful for society as a whole? Or are they a means of expanding the surveillance state?

It's also the backlash to cameras breaking through their mysticism. 20 years ago every criminal that died was "police brutality", but now the bodycam footage frequently exonerates the police and shows the true colors of many supposed victims.
Same for gunshot detectors which worked too well and resulted in more unfortunate statistics against their narrative.
It's a lot easier to call a random cop racist than the camera system tracking a criminal who's trying to play GTA in real life.

The Apollo 11 site is the only landing site with an official IAU name (although other named small features around the others are official). The official name is Statio Tranquillitatis.
Anyway, standing at Statio Tranquillitatis, you would be seeing a full solar eclipse now. And go into Stellarium desktop and choose that as your viewing location and you'll see what it looks like.

Orson,
The water issue is a problem here in Wyoming. A lot of people don't realize that a lot of Wyoming has a desert like environment, for lack of a better word.
We have a data center that might be built in Evanston. We are in the midst of a severe drought here in SW Wyoming and have been on strict water restrictions since early spring.
Boy Howdy, let's suck up the remaining water to build data centers. No gardens and landscaping were banned right at planting time at the beginning of spring.
A great site to keep up with Wyoming news is Cowboy State Daily.

Take the government out of the equation. By and large the government doesn't GAS about any one of us. But Corporate does and so do the phishers and hackers. Flock owns the information.
Flock could sell your information or be hacked.
Do you get phishing calls? I assiduously avoid putting my information online but somehow, in the last 4 months, I get at least four to five texts or phone calls about a loan application - approval only one click away. Flock can extrapolate that type of problem exponentially. Heat maps are real. Cross referencing is easier and easier.
The potential danger from outliers or corporate is much more, in the near future, than from the government.

The water "consumption" issue is a Red herring. It is quite possible to recycle the cooling water, and the only losses are to evaporation. And the cooling water need not be potable, or fit to be used for irrigation.

Build them in blighted urban areas. They claim "latency" is an issue. The way to reduce latency is to build them as close to the backbone as possible. Blighted urban areas fit the bill. Farmland out in the sticks does not.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 27, 2026 11:20 PM (1z8ji)
Nevada is 90% public land, it's almost impossible to not build on public land in that state.
Yes, improving latency means you want servers near people using them. If two AI services are competing and one takes a few milliseconds to respond because it's located 30 miles away and the other takes 3 seconds because it's based in Greenland then most people are going to very strongly prefer to use the first option. Especially when you scale to to thousands or even millions of requests for things like AI coding.
Blighted urban areas are usually blighted for a reason. Putting a bunch of very expensive equipment that needs reliable utilities is not going to go well.

Wyoming is cool. My great grandpa moved there from NY before the turn of the PREVIOUS century and was an attorney, but also a gentleman farmer in Laramie. My dad lived there until the middle of WWII, when they could no longer support the diary operation. There remains Corthell Street and I believe a Corthell Hall at the U. My dad went to the University School, which was an experimental elementary school on the campus. Learned all sorts of things nobody teaches anymore. My great grandpa settled the mineral rights laws before the Supreme Court that still governs all of Wyoming, which is kinda cool. But he was also a teetotaller who voted for Prohibition, so it's a mixed bag.
Anyway, Wyoming has very interesting history.

Hubby was born and grew up in Columbia. Graduated Citadel and USC Law School.
He told me tonight he is reading a book that Trey Gowdy is co-authoring with some other person, I can't remember who.
We lived in Columbia for 15 years to take care of his parents.
One character in his book is a waitress who works at Lizard's Thicket in Columbia. Oh my, we got takeout from there twice a week. We were talking about how much we miss the fried catfish from there.

This can matter for things like high-frequency trading, but not for anything that operates on a human scale.
The distance from Nuuk, Greenland to Los Angeles is about 3,000 miles, or 0.016 seconds at the speed of light.
What *can* increase lag is net congestion or (especially) satellite hops, but the terrestrial fiber optic delay to anywhere on the planet is probably not going to be noticeable by a human being. If you go all the way to the antipodes of wherever you are, it's still only going to be about a tenth of a second.

Normally here we are infested with flies. This year with drought, no snow, no rain we haven't had an issue with flies.
We have a bit of rain the last couple of weeks and the nasty bastards are everywhere.
The grandchildren were here tonight and they had such a great time with our salt gun shooting the flies. They did a great job, no flies in the house tonight.
The salt guns are awesome.

The distance from Nuuk, Greenland to Los Angeles is about 3,000 miles, or 0.016 seconds at the speed of light.
What *can* increase lag is net congestion or (especially) satellite hops, but the terrestrial fiber optic delay to anywhere on the planet is probably not going to be noticeable by a human being. If you go all the way to the antipodes of wherever you are, it's still only going to be about a tenth of a second.
Posted by: Rodrigo Borgia at August 28, 2026 12:19 AM (IG3/x)
You aren't getting a single fiber optic hop to anywhere in Greenland. The speed of light is the theoretical best case, your practical ping to isolated reaches of the world is much much slower.
Yes 3 seconds was an exaggeration, but there are plenty of use cases in computing outside of HFT where a 150ms ping to the server is not tolerable.

We figure if we are chopping up vegetables or whatever why not do a lot and put the stuff in the freezer. Plus our son, daughter-in-law and four grandchildren are 4 blocks from us so it helps them.

-Like being in prison-restricted to apartments, unless fuck you we are going out
-masks stupid uncomfortable and unhygienic
-no social anything-exercise. movies, meals, shopping, nothing
-strict limits on visitors (Death Row gets more!)
-and the formerly excellent food went way downhill
From current reports, the institutional "Chef Prepared" food at those not-at-all-cheap places remains subpar.

Green River is small. We go there sometimes to shop. Rock Springs is just a little way past Green River and we go there to shop also.
Rock Springs has a very small airport which is mostly to take a flight to connect to a larger airport.
We used to catch the very early morning flight out of there to fly to Denver and get a flight from there East.
It was hilarious. It was always dark driving up the road off I-80 to the airport. You had to be very careful to dodge the cows in the road.

The Moon is over halfway out of the penumbra now. You can't really tell the difference with penumbral vs. normal, it's just too bright.
However, they assure me that trained observers can detect the difference in brightness. I won't argue, but I can't see it by a long shot.

Today's fun root canal procedure was deemed a "success."
But I got to discover whole new levels of pain.
Yes, they used anesthetic, but the inflammation was so bad they had to dig down to the nerve itself and inject anesthetic directly into the nerve. Whee!
Now I get to experience a week or so of post-operative pain management with my new best friends Tylenol and Advil.

CNN - Your first name in news. Kate from smalldeadanimals.
CNN was forced to apologize to Dolly Parton’s family for mistakenly using a photo of a Las Vegas impersonator of the country music legend while reporting on her death.
The cable news network aired an image of tribute artist Kelly Vohnn as it covered Parton’s Tuesday death from cancer — leaving the 58-year-old Vohnn stunned as friends began bombarding her with messages.
The errant image were broadcast during “Laura Coates Live” some 12 hours after Parton’s death was announced by her family.

Eventually we came upon a group of flashing police lights on a police boat, more cop cars at the base of the dock and cops on the dock and standing on a Hinckley Bermuda 40 that was tied to the dock. We started to cruise over and see what was up and the cops aggressively told us to stay back.
Found out later that some 20 something boat worker from Newport had stolen the Hinckley in NJ, sailed it to Newport and then got into a gunfight with the cops. He lost. Permanently. Not something you see every day around the harbor.

Democrats Begin to Worry About Going All-In on the Great Male Hope Hasan Piker
It wasn't just the Democrats. It was the Democrats of the media, that have spent a year pushing Hasan Piker as "the left's Joe Rogan," claiming he has a "progressive mind in a MAGA body" (true, he has a progressive mind, he's borderline mentally retarded) and running one glamour-shot thrist-trap picture of him after another.
And now the Democrats, and the Democrats of the media, are asking: Why won't you guys stop talking about the guy we heavily promoted for a year as the left's solution to the Male Voter Deficit? The Bulwark's professional homosexual Tim Miller is scolding other leftwing politicos, pressuring them to stop talking about the Left's Joe Rogan, a progressive mind in a MAGA body.Ludicrous grifter and male gold-digger Ro Khanna also commands you to stop talking about Hasan Piker and Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed:
Why is it a waste of time to talk about Hasan Piker? Is he not the Left's Joe Rogan? Is he not the male Twitch Influencer you guys promoted to lead young men to the DSA? I have been reliably informed, again and again, that he has a progressive mind in a MAGA body. Was I misinformed? If so, who misinformed me, and will they be called to account for their misinformation? David Hogg, who himself knows something about media overpromotion of a leftwing male influencer, also demands we all stop talking about the guy the media insisted we talk about until three minutes ago.
Ro Khanna
@RoKhanna Too many demotivated Democrats stayed home in 2016 and 2024. We can't repeat past mistakes. In this upcoming election, we need to: Quit calling @BernieSanders an "antisemite." Stop wasting time attacking Hasan Piker instead of Trump's robber baron corruption. Don't put Israel hawks out of touch with our voters in charge of our Middle East policy. It is time for a reckoning: are we a party that represents corporate interests and super PACs, or will we represent the American people?
Activist David Hogg on Sunday said he finds recent media focus on left-wing streamer Hasan Piker "kind of weird." "To be honest with you, I find it kind of weird. Like he's a streamer. This guy is not an elected official, and there's a lot of elected officials out there that are saying incredibly horrible thing[s]," Hogg told left-wing media personality Jack Cocchiarella, discussing the recent national spotlight on Piker. Hogg added later that he believed "that it's fascinating that people are so obsessed with a streamer that the median voter knows nothing about." "You know, that's not to diss Hasan, I think he would probably agree with me, generally, that like they don't -- they don't know who he is," Hogg continued. "And I think it speaks to the fact that a lot of moderates in our party don't have an actual vision that they are fighting for other than the center, because they're constantly repositioning themselves on the political spectrum to say, 'You know, I'm going to be in the middle,' but the middle is always changing," he said. "And instead, what people are looking for is somebody that actually offers a new vision."Number of people who have said David Hogg has a progressive mind in a MAGA body: Zero. Zero point zero. By the way: It turns out Abdulrahman El-Sayed's middle name is Mohamed, not Hussein. Sorry to lead you down a crooked path. I blame who I always blame, a commenter for telling me something which I did not then spend a single second checking. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is now saying he will no longer campaign with Hasan "the Left's Joe Rogan" Piker, after having repeatedly appeared with him, knowing full well he is a terrorist-supporting anchor baby who says "America deserved 9/11" and excusing Hamas's murder of babies by saying "There are baby settlers" and Jewish settlers, of course, should be massacred. Even if they're babies. And Jewish female "settlers," of course, deserve to be raped.
Michigan Senate Democratic nominee Abdul el Sayed on Wednesday indicated he would no longer campaign with Hasan Piker after stoking scrutiny for associating with him due to controversial positions the Twitch streamer holds. Throughout his campaign, el Sayed has repeatedly appeared with Piker, including during campus rallies at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan in April, and at a Detroit event earlier this month. Their relationship has raised eyebrows due to accusations that Piker employs antisemitic rhetoric. After moving to distance himself from Piker following his primary win on Aug. 5, el Sayed told Semafor on Wednesday evening he has "no plans" to campaign with him. The shift comes roughly two months ahead of the general election, where the Senate hopeful must amass majority support in one of the country's tightest races to clinch a victory over former Republican Rep. Mike Rogers.Meanwhile, a Soros fake media supporting Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed falsely claimed -- WITHOUT EVIDENCE -- that Abdulrahman Mohamded El-Sayed is a "veteran."
We didn't mean to tell that lie, we meant to tell this other lie. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed has repeatedly, falsely called himself a doctor and a physician. He did get a medical degree, but seems to have gotten it only for purposes of entering the corrupt health bureaucracy. He was never licensed as an actual physician and never treated a patient. As the official in charge of Michigan's highest-kill dog shelter, he did oversee the euthanasia of thousands of dogs, though. Does that count? Grok AI answer: No, that does not count.
A left-wing dark money network funded by the Democratic megadonor George Soros sent voters in Michigan unsolicited mailers resembling a newspaper that falsely identified Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed as a "veteran." The mailer, from the Michigan Independent--part of a national left-wing organization founded by the Democratic operative David Brock, the American Independent--is designed to look like a nonpartisan local newspaper. Partisan content aimed at propping up Democrats is peppered amid recipes for "Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake" from "The Mitten Kitchen." The partisan content includes a piece on El-Sayed's primary win headlined, "El-Sayed -- veteran, doctor, and former health official -- is Democratic Senate pick." El-Sayed has never served in the military, and while he attended medical school and has described himself as a "physician," he has never been licensed to practice medicine, Politico reported.

Joe Conason, the president of the Washington, D.C.-based American Independent Foundation, which founded the Michigan Independent and received $500,000 from Soros's Open Society Foundations in 2022, confirmed that the group sent the mailer calling El-Sayed a "veteran." He said the error was a typo rather than an attempt to deceive voters. "The error occurred when a new headline was written for the print edition," Conason told the Free Beacon. "It was supposed to say that he was a 'veteran doctor and public health official,' ie, 'veteran' modifying those two terms." Asked whether it was accurate to call El-Sayed a "veteran doctor," Conason said, "Well he's been a physician for a long time." When the Free Beacon noted that El-Sayed has never been a licensed physician, Conason said, "Whether he's a physician or not, he's a doctor."

A typo is something like "He's a beteran" or "a He's veteran".
"Typo" and "lie": not actually the same thing.
The "doctor" thing has a little more wiggle room. If he graduated from medical school, he's an MD.
My guess: he skated through medical school with the bare minimum (What do you call a medical student with the lowest grades in his class? "Doctor.") then blew his USMLE exams.

Reading this thread is so depressing. In the wake of el-Sayed's victory, I was initially very optimistic. Now I see Dems would rather fight a civil war with their left flank than consolidate their strong odds against a flailing MAGA. Conceding to right-wing framing, hysterics about anti-semitism accusations, fracturing the base and sowing public discord when unity is needed most. This is a party that wants to win in only one way, and they'd rather lose if they can't achieve that one way.
There is a reason why Republicans never disavow all the reprehensible people that support them. If you waste time disavowing, you're losing. Cases and point: 2016 David Duke endorsed Trump, who didn’t condemn, much less acknowledge Duke: won all 3 branches 2024 Trump’s association with Epstein...same

Somewhat related: Funny how Al Sayed is pretending to want to protect Jews and Muslims, but hasn’t said anything about Christians.
Has he and I’ve missed it, or is it that no one even expects him to bother pretending to support the American Christians right to exist and practice their religion.
Probably because NO Democrat believes that.

I also remember well the "God Hates Fags" protestors from Westboro Baptist Church. They would escalate their outrageous conduct until they made it onto the TV coverage.
The talking heads would then ask the Republicans why they made common cause with such stupid bigots.
When a Republican responded that they were a family of Democrat lawyers trying to file nuisance suits, the story would then be dropped. (Or the Republican response edited out the media coverage prior to the blogosphere.)

Dems need a +5% on the generic and Trump below 40.
They're only +0.8% and falling on the generic.
And Trump is holding in the 40s.
They are not flipping the House.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice at August 27, 2026 06:49 PM
And they have zero chance of flipping the senate as well. Granted we are 2 months out from the election but from what it looks like now republicans will pick up at least 2 seats in the senate and possibly 4 in the house.
At this point every single poll out there has the democrats winning both the house and senate, plus they have talerico winning the senate seat here in Texas against paxton by 6 points. Those numbers will tighten up and start facing reality in the next month or so.

But they don't care. Even AI Overview or other AI formats acknowledge The Left's Strategic Deplatforming and Mainstream Pressures:
The Democratic and Republican parties win elections using entirely different structural strategies, which dictates how they treat extreme voices.
The Left's Coalition Strategy: Democrats rely on a broad coalition of moderate swing voters, suburban voters, and diverse minorities. Extreme or highly polarizing figures are viewed by party leaders as liabilities that can alienate the moderate voters needed to win general elections. Therefore, the Left aggressively polices its own boundaries.
The Right's Base Mobilization Strategy: The modern Republican strategy relies heavily on maximizing the turnout of its deeply enthusiastic, populist base. Provocative media figures excel at firing up this base and driving voter turnout. Because these figures operate outside the formal party structure, Republican politicians rarely have the leverage—or the desire—to cast them aside.
That's the Left's story & it's sticking with it.

Pretty much too late for national messaging now. Dems rely on early voting and absentee heavily and that will start in about two to three weeks. And it might scare the hell out of seniors that currently HAVE Medicare.
You might see such messaging in specific races but Dems are pretty much stuck with muh socialism, Orange Man Bad, and muh troons, illegals, and criminals. Not a particularly appealing package which is why they trotted out affordability in the Spring but I see little sign of traction on that message or a helluva lot of Dems are off message in their ads.

Police Raid Home of Ilhan Omar's Son, Seizing Guns from His Roommate
America's Sweetheart strikes again.
Police raid home of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son as guns and ammunition are seized"Most." But also, he's been convicted, not charged but convicted, of ten different offenses and he's only 22.
Police in Minneapolis reportedly raided the apartment of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son and seized firearms before arresting his roommate. Law enforcement sources told Alpha News that a search warrant was carried out at the home of Omar's son Adnan on Tuesday night. According to the outlet, they recovered guns and ammunition from the home and arrested his roommate Abdulrahman Abdi, 22. Earlier that day, the city's police department said in a statement to the Daily Mail that they conducted a traffic stop and cited Abdi for no proof of insurance and no license. The department said that Abdi was released at the scene and the vehicle was in the process of being impounded when a firearm was found inside. Officers later tracked Abdi to an address on Marquette Ave where they said they arrested him 'without incident.' Abdi was later booked into Hennepin County Jail on a weapons charge before being released on Wednesday night, records show. According to court records seen by the Daily Mail, Abdi has been convicted ten times in the past, most of the incidents have been misdemeanors.
Last year he was found to have been speeding and driving despite having his license revoked for a previous offense. In 2024 he was convicted of a felony after officers reported him traveling at 108 miles per hour in St. Paul. A statement of probable cause said he was behind the wheel of a Jeep Grand Cherokee and was speeding alongside a Dodge Durango. He pleaded guilty to fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle and was sentenced to one day inside Dakota County Jail.
One day for fleeing a cop in a motor vehicle? Taking a cop on a high speed chase that could easily result in a kid being run down?
I feel very Culturally Enriched. Having this person in my country somehow increases the GDP and gives me a more complete and cosmopolitan life. Ilhan Omar claims that everything is a Trump or Jewish plot to jam her up so I can't wait to see her fundraising over her son's close encounter with police.
Donald Trump's administration is facing questions over whether it is using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to "surveil political opponents" after after an investigative agent was apparently stationed outside Democratic representative Ilhan Omar's monthly town hall meeting in Richfield, Minnesota. After the incident, Omar demanded the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) clarify whether Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents have been used to monitor "any other activity" involving "local, state, or federal officials" in the state. In a letter to Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), an arm of ICE, the congresswoman said an agent claiming to be conducting an undercover drug operation was parked outside the community center where she was holding an event last Thursday, without prior coordination with local law enforcement.She's making these claims because she knows that ICE is actually investigating her for her various immigration offenses. In case you missed this:
A federal agency's refusal to release records related to longstanding immigration fraud allegations involving Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is fueling new questions about whether federal enforcement proceedings could be underway. News organizations have sought records related to allegations surrounding Omar's 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. Critics have long alleged the marriage was part of an immigration fraud scheme and have claimed Elmi was Omar's brother. Omar has denied those allegations, which have not been proven. According to the response discussed on The National News Desk, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement declined to release requested records under the Freedom of Information Act, commonly known as FOIA, citing concerns that disclosure could interfere with "enforcement proceedings." Washington insider Armstrong Williams said the language deserves attention but cautioned against treating the exemption itself as proof of wrongdoing. Federal agencies can withhold certain law enforcement records under FOIA when releasing them could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. Such a response does not, by itself, establish that Omar is the subject of an investigation or that the underlying allegations are true. Asked whether the response could indicate an active federal investigation involving a sitting member of Congress, Williams said those associated with the matters under scrutiny should take the situation seriously, while stopping short of drawing a definitive conclusion. "I think Omar and anyone associated with her in these programs have cause for great concern," Williams said. "I'll leave it at that."

Yes, and a lesser mentioned outcome of all of the GRIFTING that goes on with taxpayer provided funds (taxes) is that by the time they're done stealing it there's no money left over to build enough prison cells to put the criminals in.

Also, I turned on the tv to FoxNews. Wow, Jessica was upset. I looked and the topic was renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America.
She was livid. That's a great troll by President Trump.
I'd explain it this way. Lake Ontario was the lakes name when it identified as a weak, bitchy little girl. But now that the Lake identifies as a kick-ass strong man, it wants the name Lake America.

Some entity, recently, that I interact with sold my telephone information. Now receiving four plus calls a day saying my loan application is all but complete, just click here and we'll get this finalized.
It's out there but the more it's out there the higher the probability of something nefarious. My ID's been stolen before (from a medical facility) and it's no fun getting it all straightened out. It took five years with a professional organization's help.

AGs from Iowa and Montana Petition Supreme Court to End California's Left-Wing Extortion of Skydance, as the Left Conspire to Force Them to Sell CNN and HBO So That the Left Can Keep Their Propganda Outlets
Google AI digest:
Paramount Skydance is considering a potential sale of CNN as part of an effort to resolve an antitrust lawsuit led by California and 11 other states against its proposed $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.See, the left-wing AGs are suing to stop the Skydance (Paramount) purchase of Warner Discovery, because if they get their hands on a "news" cable channel, this would consolidate too much media power in the hands of an... apolitical media company, which is just slightly less left-wing than the left-wing demands. See, if CNN were in the hands of a slightly less liberal media company, that would result in a loss of "diversity" in "news." One single left-wing channel in a sea of left-wing channels would result in less "diversity" in "news," rather than more diversity in news, as it would appear to anyone who's not insane. So Skydance is offering to sell CNN. Why isn't California satisfied? Because no one would buy CNN. It's a money pit. It loses millions every year. What Skydance would like to to do is make CNN more centrist and less of a ratings-disaster basket-case so that they could sell it to someone, but California and the leftiest don't want that. They want CNN to stay the same left-wing Animal House it has been for 20 years, and they want another leftwing company to buy it. For what? What could Skydance charge for it, in its current form? A $10 nominal payment? So really the lefties don't want Skydance to sell it to NBC, Disney, or MSNOW. They want Skydance to give it away to them, as the extortion payment demanded to bless the purchase of Warner Discovery.
CNN Sale and Antitrust Battle The Proposal: Paramount's chief legal officer, Makan Delrahim, stated that selling CNN is "on the table" to help appease antitrust regulators. The Lawsuit: A coalition of 12 state attorneys general, spearheaded by California's Rob Bonta, sued to block the massive media consolidation over concerns it would reduce competition in theatrical distribution and cable TV licensing.They had no such concerns when left-wing Netflix attempted to purchase Warner Discovery. And Netflix is now the biggest player in Hollywood, bigger than any individual studio. Except maybe the Disney behemoth -- who, by the way, these left-wing AGs did not seek to block when they purchased the second-biggest studio, Twentieth Century Fox. And before that, they'd also purchased Pixel, Marvel Studios, and LucasFilm -- again, with no concerns about a diminishment of "competition." I think that Skydance would be willing to give away the basket-case propaganda channel CNN, if that's the cost of the extortion. But I think the left-wing AGs have their eyes fixed on a bigger prize: HBO. Because the cable channel is an even bigger -- and definitely more profitable -- propaganda outlet than CNN. And Skydance will definitely not give away HBO. Most of the value of Warner Discovery is in its streaming and cable channels.
Yes, and they've set an October deadline for that. I think they will end up abandoning California -- and then the rush of all other media companies to leave California will be one. The first one to go will start an avalanche. But California socialists keep saying what they've been saying, insanely and wrongly, for ten years: No business or citizen will ever, ever leave California, no matter how onerous we make it or how much we punish anyone making an honest living in the state. Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. That is the background for this story; Iowa and Montana have petitioned the Supreme Court to declare that the supremacy clause should preclude California and the other communist states from blocking this purchase, because federal regulators have already cleared it as not a violation of anti-trust and not likely to cause a loss of competition. As has the EU, by the way.
Tensions with California: Tensions escalated after AG Bonta canceled a settlement meeting, accusing Paramount of breaching confidentiality and acting in bad faith, which Paramount denied. Relocation Threats: Paramount CEO David Ellison warned that if the state keeps stalling the merger, operations could potentially move out of California to states like Texas, Georgia, or Tennessee, drawing accusations of "blackmail" from state officials.
Iowa and Montana Ask Supreme Court to Block 'Politicized' Paramount-Warner Bros. Antitrust Suit Filed by California and 11 Other StatesThis is the standing barrier, and I don't think they'll be able to overcome it. They have no particular direct interest in this case
In a long-shot move, two Republican attorneys general are hoping the Supreme Court will intervene to stop the antitrust lawsuit brought by 12 Democratic state AGs seeking to block Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird and Montana AG Austin Knudsen filed a motion with the Supreme Court seeking to have the antitrust suit thrown out, naming California and the 11 other states party to the Paramount lawsuit as defendants. The suit was filed with the court on Tuesday, Aug. 25, according to Bird's office. "Plaintiffs, the State of Iowa and State of Montana, respectfully move this Court for leave to file the attached Bill of Complaint to stop a politicized enforcement action that seeks to block the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger," the filing says. The development will test the Supreme Court's interpretation of its authority to settle inter-state disputes. The U.S. Supreme Court is the court of original jurisdiction for issues that arise among states for things like boundary disputes and water rights, and it's not clear the court will agree to hear the motion filed by Iowa and Montana regarding litigation that those states are not a party to.
Oh, Norm Eisen, the architect of ten years of unethical lawfare against Trump. I'm glad the media looks for a "diversity" of "experts" when writing their propganda. Can state AGs acquire standing to sue? I think they could: If Skydance/Paramount names the city it will move to. Either Austin or Nashville, most think would be the likely places. Then the states involved, Texas and Tennessee, would, I think, have standing to sue. But I think the best move is just to leave California entirely. Doing so would save Skydance $500 million per year in taxes, experts estimate. It's worth doing even without taking account of California's communist gangster extortion ploy.
Experts say the Iowa-Montana appeal is unlikely to go anywhere. "The Supreme Court is more likely to declare Donald Trump 'litigator of the year' than it is to block the states from enforcing their own antitrust rules," said Erik Gordon, professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. He called the Iowa-Montana action "political grandstanding." "There's no valid legal basis to do this," said Norm Eisen, an attorney who has helped lead the #BlocktheMerger campaign opposing the Paramount-WBD merger. "This new filing by Iowa turns the entire American legal system on its head. That's why the Supreme Court is going to reject it."

It was before because the Ellisons donated to Trump.
But, what makes it all even funnier is that Hollywood was in an uproar over Netflix buying WB because of actual monopolistic worries (Netflix is the biggest studio in Hollywood now, and it's not that close).
Paramount undermining the Netflix purchase of WB was kind of what they wanted.
And then they threw a fucking fit over the fix to the problem they were already complaining about.

What's CNNs audience July - August - 2026?
How many are not trapped in airports or incarcerated?
Here we go....
CNN Ratings Overview (July 2026)
According to Nielsen ratings data for July 2026, CNN's viewership averages were:
Primetime (Monday–Sunday): ~658,000 total viewers
Total Day Average: ~465,000 total viewers
25–54 Age Demo: ~102,000 in primetime and ~62,000 total day
Out-of-Home Viewing: Out-of-home viewing typically makes up a notable percentage of CNN's total day audience given its heavy presence on airport terminal screens, but Nielsen blends these numbers directly into the overall daily averages rather than reporting them as a standalone "trapped audience" metric.
Correctional Facilities: Nielsen measurement panels generally cover residential households and out-of-home locations (like hotels, bars, and airports); incarcerated individuals are not part of the standard Nielsen television panel, so "incarcerated viewers" are not reflected as a measurable metric in cable ratings.

There will be protected zones around the increasing number of military bases. Also military protected zones around National properties (all federal land including parks) and tourist areas such as Casinos and Zona Rojas.

Like it was said above, CNN's main purpose is to designate what news is acceptable, but it is also a way of conferring permission to the idiots watching it to hate specific things or people.
Jan6? Hate. Trump? Hate. Iran war? Hate. Anti-tranny? Hate. ICE? Hate.
Stupid people need permission to hate and make fun of things, their bitterness and unfocused anger is perfect for that when carefully directed against some "enemy of society", and they are dumb enough to directed by third parties to hate and denigrate things that will never really affect them. Unfortunately this sort of coordinated hate will destroy what used to be called civil society, and create uncontrolled tribalism.
CNN is perfect for this task, and will not be handed off to any opposing group.

This is however what is handed to us out of a demand for not having involuntary commitments out of fear that they will be used for political ends. She will either be considered a mental case that needs commitment, and put in an institution until she can be both considered no longer a threat and the victims and relations do not contest the release by the psychiatric parole board, or she can be put into jail to be released when the parole board sees fit.
Amazingly the side effects to a lot of heavy psych meds given to people who are otherwise allowed to walk around free are things like "may cause suicidal ideation" and "anxiety" as well as pissing blood and drooling.

Isn't that the gist of the suit? That California is seeking national political advantage by filing a phony antitrust suit when their real purpose is political.
So that's where the harms are, and the states that CA is seeking political advantage over are the harmed parties. Thus it doesn't seem to me that standing would obviously be lacking.

Communist Candada's National Broadcaster CBC: Do Not Call the 9/11 Attack "Terrorism"
I am just about ready to begin treating Canada as an enemy state.
Basem Boshra? Amish name, eh?
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation instructed its staff not to refer to the killings on 9/11 as "terrorist attacks" ahead of its coverage of the 25th anniversary, according to an internal memo. The public broadcaster reaffirmed that it would avoid using words like "terrorist" and "terrorism" when describing events, directing its staffers to follow the longstanding company policy that previously landed them in hot water during their Oct. 7, 2023, coverage. "Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks," the memo read. "The hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Manhattan. The World Trade Center (WTC in second reference) was destroyed."
The memo was signed, "BB," which the Toronto Sun, which first published the letter, identified as Basem Boshra, senior director of journalistic standards and public Trust at CBC News.
Strange that the CBC has no problems using judgmental language in "reporting on" the January 6th "attack."
CBC defended the memo as a reminder to its journalists to adhere to the decades-old practice, claiming that using charged phrases like "terrorist attacks" would diminish their ability to remain impartial.
"Our focus is to report the facts of such atrocities with accuracy, clarity and detail; to convey the scale and scope of violent acts wherever they occur; to quote the people affected, and to convey the views of officials and experts on these events. We bear witness," Kerry Kelly, a public affairs spokesperson for CBC, told The Post. "But CBC News does not itself designate specific groups as terrorists, or specific acts as terrorism, regardless of the region or the events, because these words are so loaded with meaning, politics and emotion that they can end up being impediments to our journalism."They will only call it "terror" when the word is used in an official statement, and then they put it in quotes to show that it's someone else's language. The example they give is Osama bin Ladin calling it "blessed terror." Even when the mastermind of the atrocity admits it's "terror," the CBC says no, our "experts" say maybe it's not.
Rachel Thomas, a Conservative MP, slammed the leaked memo as shameful, accusing the policy of downplaying the terror attacks. "Refusing to call it an act of terrorism dishonours the victims, their families, the survivors, and the first responders who witnessed the horrors of that day," she wrote on X.
"Trying to sanitize or rewrite that history is deeply offensive and does a disservice to everyone who was affected by the attacks."

On the trade war front, Canadians are militant about no American booze on the shelves. And apparently the United States buys half of what we produce.

_____________________
That's the point, and it's more clever than people are realizing. It's pissing off all the right people up in Canada. Carney depends on the "elbows up" nitwits for political support. He built his whole political facade on standing tough against the US. HOWEVER, the trade negotiations have Carney in a situation where he is going to have to capitulate. There is no leverage to present a different outcome.
So, Carney walks away from negotiations, and runs to the media to flail and whine. Trump stays very quiet on the issue and then comes out a few days later with the Lake America spiel (arguably in response to Doug Ford in Ontario cosplaying "tough guy"). This winds up the Liberals. Carney is eventually going to return to the trade talks or the USMCA will be terminated in six months once the clock starts running. Carney can't win. His political career is about to crash. Capitulate and piss off supporters (after Trump winds them up) or USMCA is gone, and we do a bi-lateral trade agreement where we can really play hardball.

China's ability to "help" is limited.
They asked the IMF to prepare bailouts for countries that owe them money. Their manufacturing base is facing several strong headwinds (general decoupling measures, energy issues stemming from the Iran conflict).
They have enough to bribe canuck politicians, but not to take over the nation. They can't even pay to take over Taiwan.
Besides, China's in a population collapse. They should have roughly 1/4 the population they have now in about 50 years.
Canada attaching to China is an incredibly stupid short term move.

Worse than Japan and every major country in Europe.

China is at the center (or one of the center's) of disagreement with the US. China depends on sending partially completed wares to Canada. Canada completes the construction, then sells those wares to the US under the guise that is it Canadian made. China does this to avoid higher tariffs.
Unfortunately, the industry base of Canada has been gutted thanks to the overregulation and Climate Change Green Policies. As a result, China is going to take a solid hit in the teeth on any trade agreement with the US. Japan has two auto makers in Ontario (Toyota and Honda) who have said they will leave Canada to support the US. China wants those manufacturing factories to make Chinese EV's...and they will bring their own workforce in (screwing over Canadian jobs). It's almost poetic.

Earlier today (Thursday), the IDF struck in the Al-Shati area in the northern Gaza Strip and eliminated the terrorist Bilal Ibrahim Saleh Raqi‘i, a commander in Hamas’ military wing’s anti-tank array.
As part of an additional strike in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip, the IDF eliminated the terrorist Azzam Rifaat Abd Abadala, an operative in Hamas’ Khan Younis Brigade.
Recently, the terrorists continued to advance terror attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians while also attempting to rebuild Hamas’ capabilities, all in violation of the ceasefire agreement. They were struck in order to remove the threat they posed.

Their plan is to join EU, and have Brussels (a) demand money to send to low income EU countries, (b) demand they shut down farming, logging, and mining, and (c) make them align with EU regulations on everything from size of their banananas to how they run their borders.

Minneapolis Police RAID Ihan Omar's Son's Apartment SEIZE Weapons and Ammo.
Police executed a search warrant Tuesday night at the apartment of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s son, Adnan Omar.
Law enforcement sources say officers recovered guns and ammunition and arrested his roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi.
The search warrant was conducted after a traffic stop for Abdulrahman after a illegal weapon was found in vehicle
Omar's son was not arrested.
Not a good look for Ilhan Omar

From what I have read, Enbridge Line 5 is a pipeline that runs from Wisconsin through Michigan to Ontario.
It supplies around 55% of the crude oil & natural gas, 540,000 barrels daily, to Ontario.
We could ruin the rest of their year if Ford & Carney want to get cute with energy supply.

Heard on the local news yesterday that Abigail Spambooger is all upset by this dust-up with Canada because of all the stuff that Virginia sells to Canada. One of those is timber. And I'm like "What? Canada imports timber? WTF?"

Similar to Venezuelan oil in that it is 'dirty' oil and has to refined at special refineries that can handle it.

Most Canadian oil sands (tar sands) bitumen is refined in the United States, not Canada. Canadian oil sands production is sold mainly as diluted bitumen (dilbit — heavy, high-sulfur) or upgraded synthetic crude oil (SCO — lighter and easier to process). Dilbit requires complex refineries with significant coking (or equivalent residue conversion) capacity.

On the Fifth Anniversary of the Disasterous Biden Bug-Out of Kabul, Pete Hegseth Upgrades the Honors for Three Heroes of Abbey Gate
He didn't just give them new medals.
He also said that the Biden Administration downplayed their heroism, because Biden, and his corrupt media allies, didn't want the public to know how very bad the terrorist attack at Abbey Gate really was.Fox News PoliticsMarine Corps Times:
@foxnewspolitics 5 YEARS LATER: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth upgrades valor awards for three Marines who risked their lives during the Abbey Gate bombing, saying Pentagon leadership "inappropriately" downgraded their original submissions for half a decade. Gunnery Sgt. Jonathan Eby took command after his platoon commander and half his platoon were killed or wounded. Lance Cpl. Jordan Houston was knocked unconscious 10 meters from the blast, woke up with shrapnel wounds, and stayed in the fight -- concealing his injuries so he wouldn't be pulled from the line. Cpl. Michael Gretzon applied his own tourniquet to a shrapnel wound, got bandaged, then immediately returned to his squad until his platoon sergeant physically ordered him to the casualty collection point. Hegseth also revealed that a special review panel recently recovered "highly relevant classified documents" that were "stashed and hidden away in safes where they would not be found." A full report is expected by year's end.
Videos of Hegseth stating that these Marines' valor awards were downgraded to spare the Biden Administration the pain of admitting what a hellish nightmare they created, below the jump. If you're pretending everything went swell, you can't decorate heroes who stood up when things didn't go swell at all. Sean Parnell, charged with investigating the Abbey Gate bombing, says that -- sit down, you're not going to believe this -- Biden officials hid key documents in safes to keep anyone from discovering the truth.
Five years after a suicide bombing killed 13 U.S. service members and around 170 civilians at Abbey Gate in Kabul, Afghanistan, the Pentagon upgraded the awards of three Marines who survived the blast and then worked to save others in its immediate aftermath. The service members, assigned to 2nd Battalion, 1st Marines, were at the then-Hamid Karzai International Airport as America's decades-long war in Afghanistan drew to a tumultuous close. Outside of the gate, where enormous crowds had frantically gathered in hopes of a safe evacuation from the country, an Islamic State bomber detonated the explosives on his body. During a Wednesday ceremony at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth presented the Bronze Star Medal with Valor to retired Gunnery Sgt. Jonathan Eby and retired Lance Cpl. Jordan Houston, and the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor to retired Cpl. Michael Gretzon. Eby secured the area before helping to evacuate wounded Marines, Houston -- who was injured himself -- assisted others to safety despite gunfire and tear gas and Gretzon helped control the crowd from a vulnerable position after the blast, according to the department. Hegseth used biblical language when describing the service members' actions. "These three Marines embody a timeless truth written in the book of Proverbs: 'The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.' On that chaotic day, you men were as bold as lions," he said, adding, "When the wicked sought to sow terror, these men stood as lions at the gate -- bold in their purpose, fierce in their resolve and unbreakable in their courage."
He has not said what the documents actually say, yet. But I assume that is coming:
A Pentagon official on Wednesday claimed to have discovered classified documents that concern the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan five years ago, but the official declined to offer further details. Sean Parnell, who leads the Pentagon's special review panel examining the 2021 withdrawal, said in a video statement that his team recovered "highly relevant classified documents" that were "stashed and hidden away in safes where they would not be found."
This might be some of what has been kept hidden: CIA-trained Afghan units executed civilians during Joe Biden's catastrophe. This may not have been out of malice, but just due to the extreme chaos Biden created.
"You deserve the truth of what happened about what happened in Afghanistan, told fully and told straight," Parnell said.
The US commander claims that he's heard no such reports:
Afghan special forces units trained by the CIA mowed down civilians with their cars and shot innocent people to clear the Kabul airport during the Biden administration's chaotic U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, according to first-person accounts in a new documentary. Eyewitnesses in the documentary for The Wall Street Journal, titled "The Path to Zero," say atrocities were also perpetrated against U.S. military members at Kabul International Airport -- in the closing hours of the administration's final withdrawal of U.S. forces. Multiple people say in the documentary that they witnessed the Afghan special forces, known as Zero Units, murder members of the crowd in a CIA-directed mission to clear the airport. Those who committed the murders were then rewarded with evacuation, courtesy of the U.S. "They straight up executed people, ran them over," retired U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sgt. Edward Gonzalez says in the film, telling the documentarians that he witnessed these atrocities firsthand. "I literally saw trucks running over people," he said when told that some people have denied that such events occurred. Josephy Laude, a retired sergeant with the U.S. Marine Corp, also described what the Zero Units did to clear out the airport. "They would use vehicles, they would run people over, they would execute people," Laude says in the film. "They'd shoot them, shoot into the crowds bearing witness to atrocities, to war crimes."
Peter Vasely, a retired rear admiral with the U.S. Navy who served as the commander of U.S. Forces Afghanistan Forward at the time of the withdrawal, claimed in the documentary that "no reports" of the Zero Unit's actions ever made it to him. He said he did not doubt what the Marines on the ground said, just that he never received any official reports of the conduct.But you know, documents you'd rather not acknowledge sometimes get "lost," like buried in unmarked safes for years and years, you know? This is why I say the "executions" and "murders" might not have been perpetrated with malice: Suppose you're a Secret Service driver. The presidential limo comes under serious attack. There are crowds of people in your way. What do you do? I don't know what the Secret Service is trained to do, but I imagine that if the president's life is in danger and there are civilians inadvertently blocking you from carrying him to safety, you hit the gas and hope they get out of the way in time. I don't know that. I can imagine such a terrible choice, though. That's what one witness says the choice during the chaotic bug-out was:
Darrel Issa says that many "Afghan allies" were never vetted before being given free passes to the US, and that's all part of this "cover-up."
Gonzalez also said that had the Zero Units not taken the steps they took to clear the airport, he and his fellow Marines would not be alive today. Kenneth F. McKenzie, a retired Marine Corps general, also said that not only would the U.S. not have been able to clear the airport without the Zero Units, but they wouldn't have been able to hold it either. "They were vital to the success of our mission," McKenzie said in the film. The documentary alleges that to get the Zero Units to open fire on their own countrymen, the CIA had to promise that they and their entire families would be evacuated from Afghanistan.
... Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., best known for his congressional investigations into Obama-era scandals such as Operation Fast and Furious and the IRS' targeting of conservative organizations, said during an interview on "Just the News, No Noise," Wednesday night that the cover-up of the withdrawal will soon be revealed. U.S. Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, Sean Parnell, who is chairing the Afghanistan Withdrawal Review Panel, is working to release that information.
"I mean, the two great cover-ups in Abbey Gate obviously was the lead-up to that tragic loss of our military personnel and many other civilians around them, and then the incredibly inept withdrawal of bringing into our country people who shouldn't be, or leaving behind many who should be here, and the Trump administration is still cleaning up for that by finding people around the world who are entitled and who really have earned a right," Issa said. ... Former Deputy Chief of Staff to the Secretary of War, Darin Selnick, said on the same program that criminal referrals could be coming for those responsible for the withdrawal. "But I think we have to be patient because it's going to maybe take another year to really dig these things out, do the right interviews, find the right people, get collaborative statements, and really find out, you know, with the criminal referrals, what was done that was done illegally, what was done that was immoral, and what's criminally referable," Selnick said.Update:
Remember the Afghani who shot two National Guard troops in Washington, DC? He was in a Zero Unit in Afghanistan before we idiotically brought him and others here. Ticking time bombs. They are trained assassins and from what I've read about them they love to kill. I doubt there was anything accidental about the killings they did in Afghanistan. Posted by: JackStrawCite?, Fake Tapper asks. Jack Straw delivers:
WASHINGTON – The Afghan man accused of shooting two National Guard soldiers blocks from the White House last week served with CIA-backed "zero units" in Afghanistan, paramilitary groups that carried out secret raids against suspected terrorists and U.S. enemies as part of the CIA's counterterrorism program.

@TonySeruga The Abbey Gate attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 26, 2021, killed 13 U.S. service members--11 Marines, one Navy corpsman, and one Army soldier--in the final days of a withdrawal that had already spiraled into chaos. You're right that the families have channeled unimaginable grief into action: the Gold Star mothers and fathers built foundations, named K9s after their sons, lobbied Congress, and sat through hearings that produced a lot of theater and very little accountability. What they got instead of an accounting was a process--and a process is not the same thing as an answer. The Shape of the "Accounting" So Far - The After-Action Reviews produced classified and redacted reports that described the withdrawal as "flawed" and "poorly planned" but pointed fingers in a circular way: the military blamed State, State blamed the collapsed Afghan government, everyone blamed the Trump--Taliban Doha agreement, and the buck stopped nowhere. - The Abbey Gate investigation concluded the bomber was a lone ISIS-K operative who slipped through screening--a finding that satisfied the chain of command but answered almost none of the families' questions about why evacuation was happening at all, why the gate was so exposed, or why intelligence warnings weren't acted on. - No senior official has been fired, demoted, or held personally responsible. Not the generals, not the National Security Council staff, not the people who signed off on the drawdown timeline. In several cases, the people who made the decisions have been promoted or moved on to lucrative private-sector roles. Why No One Has Been Held Accountable? The uncomfortable reality is that accountability within the national security apparatus is largely self-policing, and the institution's incentive is to protect its own. When the Pentagon investigates itself, the goal is rarely to assign individual blame--it's to produce a document to point to as "we looked into it." Because most of the underlying material is classified, the public (and even Congress, in practical terms) can't verify what was actually known and when. There's also the political dimension: the people who would have to be held accountable are the same people who staff the next administration's transition teams, sit on think-tank boards, and write the op-eds. Washington is a revolving door, and no one inside it has much interest in establishing a precedent where catastrophic strategic failure ends a career. What the Families Actually Asked For - The names of whoever made the final call on the withdrawal timeline.
- An unredacted accounting of the intelligence failures.
- Designation of responsibility, not "lessons learned."
- Some acknowledgment that the decision-making, not just the tactical execution at the gate, is what killed their children. None of that has been delivered in any meaningful form. The hearings generated soundbites, the Gold Star families were used as props by both parties, and the actual answers remain buried in classification and institutional self-protection. The service members themselves--the 13 at Abbey Gate and the roughly 170 Afghans killed alongside them--did their jobs. The failure was never theirs. It belonged to the people who put them in that position and then quietly moved on. That's the accounting that's never come, and at this point, probably never will in any form that satisfies the people who lost children.

South Vietnam just needed financial support and they could have easily held off the North, who was getting serious support from Russia and China.
But the Democrats wanted the communists to win, so lots of allied Vietnamese needed to die.

It has to be one of the more egregious fuck ups in American history.
Here's the video of Trump telling the story of how Gen Milley intended to leave all of the military equipment in Afghanistan. It was his PLAN. Milley approached Trump and told him it was cheaper to leave the equipment there.

In my opinion, Milley wasn't stupid as Trump concluded. Milley was compromised by China and he wanted them to have it all to take apart and study and use.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rejoins DSA after membership lapse of seven years Then House candidate joined Democratic Socialists of America in 2018 but didn’t renew membership after a year
Interesting that the DSA announced this, not AOC. They have some crazy nonsense in their platform, like embracing communism (which is VERY different than socialism) and calling for eliminating cops and prisons. It is an unelectable platform, so I hope she stays at arms length from them.
She’s running for senate. No way this was done with any calculations towards running for president in ‘28. The obvious correct move btw. Schumer’s seat is all but hers.
I think you are correct. DSA candidates may be unelectable in national elections, but they cartainly can beat Democrats in safe blue areas.
the right is going to associate her with the DSA anyways so no reason to put off the actual DSA supporters that do support her. We will not win the country back by punching to the left
Centrist democrats will whine "condemn Hasan" or imply she's antisemetic, and Maga will scream she's a commie even more.

I just learned that kale only "became a superfood because a publicist in New York invented a trade association that did not exist."

Curtis LeMay kind of had a permanent scowl, augmented by a semi-permanent cigar. But I guess his demeanor was due to Bell’s Palsy.
He famously whipped the Air Force into shape. He made them perform. He once flew into a base, called an alert. The base commander shows up in a hawaiian shirt wondering what’s going on. He would relieve people on the spot. Also promotions on the spot, sometimes for a whole squad.
He had Dayton, Ohio designated as a target for Air Force practice training. Very few planes even found Dayton, they were all messed up. He fixed all of that.
You can tell a lot about a guy by his enemies, the left tries to portray him as crazy and a bad guy. He was a great guy. The US remained nuclearly unscathed from the 1950s thru the 1970s because of this man, there is almost no doubt. Many presidents were skeptical though never enough to fire him, regardless of party.

Except he didn’t: he removed all established prerequisites that were built into each step.
Just picked a date, regardless of the local government meeting stated requirements, and announced it (so no flexibility should events on the ground jeopardize a safe exit with stable government in place).

There was a lot of crazy stuff going on in the heady days of 2022 when there was a crusade to fight for Ukraine in person. He might have just got caught up in a lot of that action, and being American might have had uses other flakes could not match.
The ardor died down when Russia put a missile into one of their barracks. After a little fighting the remnants of the foreign volunteers were stashed in the Kharkov area where action was low.

Our locally engaged staff, they are absolutely a priority. They are absolutely part of our plans. And that commitment to them, to their safety and security, is something that is in no way diminished.
There’s been no change to the timeline of the mission, which is to have this completed by the end of the month. We remain committed to getting any and all Americans that want to leave, to get them out. We believe that we have the capability, the ability, to get that done by the end of the month.
The Taliban have been very clear about what their expectations are as well.

That sounds like the DOJ was partisan and aligned with the president instead of independent.
Honestly, that's how it should be.
The problem was that Republicans didn't get to have partisan DOJs. Only Democrats did. I do believe Trump 2.0 changed that calculus.
Remember, it was fine for Clinton to ask for the resignations of every USA, but it was a crime against the constitution for W to do it because the "DOJ is independent" or whatever.

Oh, agreed.
Holder, at least, should have been tried and executed for treason. The reasoning for F&F was an insurrection against the United States.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, discovering British horror with Hammer Films at August 27, 2026 02:41 PM (/PKja)
Incidentally, that treason was committed by Holder literally engaging in an ACT OF WAR against Mexico, by supplying the cartels with arms that would be used to murder Mexican citizens in their own country. Remember, the whole point was to get a bunch of Mexicans killed so that the Policia could get the serial numbers off of the guns they found at the scene so that they could be traced.
It's like an ouroboros of criminal cocksuckery.

I honestly cannot imagine what they did and the courage and tenacity it took to go beyond what they needed to. Saved lives. Valor defined and while injured they did not give up.
Horrified about what the Biden administration did that day to Afghanistan and our troops.
Sadly, after seeing photos of Afghani people clinging to cargo planes, I just don't know. Thankful I did not have to make that choice to take off. I remember people clinging to the wings.
I once felt bad about Afghan translators, who served with our men, whom Biden abandoned. However, based on the few terrorist attacks by a few here, I did wonder about vetting.
What a sad day for our country that was.

Exclusive Hamptons Club Cancels Restaurant Service After Illegal Immigrant Staff is Deported
ICE Deports a Record Number of Illegals Over the Summer
I saw this story cited on Instapundit, with the comment: We used to hire American teenagers for these jobs.
So, try that.I think you can afford to increase wages to hire a legal staff. And if you can't, you can't. A business that has to commit crimes to stay in business maybe isn't run competently enough, or attractive enough to customers, to stay in business.
An ultra-exclusive Hamptons yacht club catering to the wealthy and well-connected was forced to suspend its members-only restaurant service for multiple days after several of its kitchen staff were booted from the country over visa issues, The Post has learned. The swanky oceanfront Devon Yacht Club in Amagansett -- which reportedly charges around $100,000 in initiation fees -- canceled its Wednesday night dinner service after it lost its foreign cooks, according to a letter sent to members the same day.
Oh, so this is an easily solved "problem." The club claims this is just a paperwork snafu involving H2B visas (temporary, seasonal visas for supposedly necessary foreign workers) and suggests maybe the problem is with the Trump Administration's DHS. I don't know. The rest of the article talks about the "choppy waters" this club as been in for years. Deportations continue:
Food service was also canceled Thursday and is not expected to be back up and running until Friday's lunch service, the club informed its deep-pocketed members -- a group that once included Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis's parents.
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ NEW: I'm told by federal source that ICE has arrested roughly 300 Haitian nationals in the state of Ohio alone in recent days, as the agency is now considering transitioning into a find & arrest approach after giving Haitians several weeks to turn themselves in to ICE offices since TPS officially ended on July 27th. I'm told to expect arrests of Haitians to begin to significantly ramp up soon as ICE starts to prioritize tracking down those who never checked in.
Bill MeluginThe leftwing media is pushing the newest op, which is that ICE has arrested a record number of illegals "without criminal records"... apart from violating the country's immigration rules, and, I'm sure, committing either identity theft to hold a job or welfare fraud to become dependents on a country they are not citizens of. First: Whether or not they have "criminal records," they are still illegal and not permitted to stay. There is no law saying "illegals may live in the US as long as they like so long as Soros DAs refuse to prosecute them for crimes." Second: Trump and Tom Homan have said over and over they would not have to go into illegal immigrant areas and arrest any illegals they find if leftwing sanctuary jurisdictions would just turn over the criminal illegal aliens they seek as their highest priority. If you just turned over the illegal criminals at the jail, this would be an easy job for ICE with no need of going into "the communities." But we're all supposed to take from this that Undocumented Criminals have a right to remain forever, so long as only some of their crimes are documented. By the way: this article admits, at the very end, that ICE has reduced "going into the communities" to make arrests and is now arresting people stopped at routine traffic stops and found to be illegal and less-invasive situations like that.
@BillMelugin_ Aug 24 BREAKING/EXCLUSIVE: DHS tells @FoxNews that ICE has quietly carried out one of its most successful operations in agency history, resulting in the arrests of 1,328 illegal aliens in just a 14-day span in the states of Virginia & Maryland. Nearly 400 of the aliens had criminal convictions or pending criminal charges, including a Salvadoran illegal alien wanted by police in Richmond, VA on a murder warrant. (Eygner Wilfredo Huezo-Moran's mugshot below). Other targets included aliens with rap sheets for attempted murder and rape, as well as convictions for sexual battery, kidnapping, robbery and DWI. The operation primarily targeted the sanctuary jurisdiction suburbs in VA & MD around Washington DC, and ICE arrested anyone in the U.S. illegally, regardless of any criminal history.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested a record high of more than 800 people without criminal records a day in July on average, new federal data shows. The surge in arrests comes as the White House pushes the agency to hit a target of 2,000 per day. July is the first month in President Trump's second term when people with only civil immigration violations -- rather than pending criminal charges or convictions -- made up more than half of those arrested. An average of more than 1,580 people were arrested each day in July, also a new high for the current administration. Enforcement ramped up this summer after a drop following public backlash to the Department of Homeland Security's operation in Minneapolis, a funding standoff and a shake-up in DHS leadership. But, as has been the case with ICE's previous big city crackdowns, rising arrest totals come with spikes in community arrests of people without criminal records. Administration officials have repeatedly claimed that their enforcement efforts are focused on "the worst of the worst" and often tout arrests of immigrants with violent criminal convictions. Those with convictions for violent crimes as defined by the Justice Department's Bureau of Justice Statistics make up about 6% of all those booked into ICE detention under the current administration, and about 4% of those taken into custody in July, the data show.So 1, this data comes from a leftwing Open Borders group, and 2, deliberately excludes foreign criminal records or open arrest warrants.
"ICE enforces the law as written. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is whether or not they are illegally in the U.S.-- full stop," a DHS spokesperson said in a statement to CBS News. "Many of the individuals that are counted as 'non-criminals' are actually terrorists, human rights abusers, gangsters and more; they just don't have a rap sheet in the U.S." The data, obtained from ICE by the Deportation Data Project run by the University of California, Berkeley and UCLA, does not provide information about immigrants' alleged crimes in other countries. CBS News asked DHS to provide that data.
"Claims," you see. They're liars, CBS "News" wants you to know.
White House border czar Tom Homan has said that sanctuary policies that prevent local law enforcement from turning over people held in jails and prisons to ICE force them to "flood the zone" and deploy more resources to such cities to find and arrest their targets and anyone else they encounter living in the U.S. illegally. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has made similar claims.
But June and July data suggests that ICE agents making arrests in communities are not focusing their efforts solely on areas the administration deems to be sanctuary jurisdictions. Those cities and states saw a 27% increase in street arrests during those months compared to the previous six, compared with a 50% increase everywhere else, CBS News' analysis of the data found.Wow, what an important bit of news: ICE is able to arrest more illegals in areas where the police cooperate with them. Here's the very, very late admission that ICE has reduced the controversial program of making mass arrests in sanctuary zones:
... The uptick in arrests has been without highly publicized city-focused crackdowns, with agents instead turning to traffic stops, airport arrests and arrests at immigration check-ins. The killing of two immigrants by federal agents in Maine and Texas during attempted traffic stops reignited outcry.

Every single TPS holder who now no longer holds TPS has been informed that they are eligible for deportation. They've all lost their jobs, some are fleeing (reports of them going to Canada, HA!), and there are reports of deportations for them specifically.
Remember, deportation is not a criminal remedy. It is the civil remedy to the civil crime of being present in the United States illegally.

"criminal record" as defined by the media in these reports are only those arrested AND convicted of a major crime in the United States.
It excludes misdemeanors, those arrested for felonies, those currently under indictment for felonies, and--most importantly--those who have extensive criminal records in their home country.
Thus, an illegal convicted of murder in his home country, will be counted as having "no criminal record" by the US media.

Shocked, I am! The (D)emocrats have assured us, repeatedly, that this is not the case.
Of course, since all 1,328 are here illegally, the answer to the percentage of criminality in the statistical sample is really 100%.

Governor Hochul’s Letter to Secretary of Homeland Security: Terminating Temporary Protected Status for Hundreds of Thousands of Immigrants is a Reckless and Inhumane Act
I am writing to follow up on a conversation I had with President Trump, and to reiterate my strong opposition to the termination of protections for hundreds of thousands of immigrants under Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
"The callousness of abruptly ending TPS for legally-present individuals including the recent termination for Haitians and the forthcoming termination for Salvadorians will force New York State and local governments to sever the employment of hundreds of essential employees as soon as next week, putting their livelihoods – and potentially their safety – at risk."
"For generations, New York has welcomed those fleeing disasters or persecution and seeking a better future. Through our Office for New Americans, my administration has supported thousands of New Yorkers with TPS application assistance and legal representation. New York remains committed to supporting TPS recipients and will continue to do everything in our power to prevent harm to the immigrant community."

Trump did explicitly promise, more than once, that he would lead the largest mass deportation operation in American history.
It's already 4 times larger than Operation Wetback, and that's acting like Operation Wetback wasn't a giant scam that was effectively DACA 0.8 beta.

Here's the thing, though: There IS no hypocrisy.
Their values and decision making are predicated - ENTIRELY - on seizing and retaining power. That's it. There are no other factors.
EVERYTHING they do/say/believe is in pursuit of that single goal. They are entirely consistent in all things at all times.
Don't make the mistake of assigning your values to leftists while deciding how to deal with them.

These swells and their predilection for seeking out the marginal and cheaper options for labor really piss me off.
Our scout troop would assist with annual roadside cleanups in a posh neighborhood in northern Delaware. While we worked, all the swells would zoom by in their high value vehicles as we preened their byways.
One time, after an entitled brat left her house to claim an arrow that one of our scouts had found in the roadside underbrush, and did so rudely, I had had enough. We were not going to do such scut work for them again -- clean up your own messes, a-holes.
I committed our unit to a stretch of road that ran up to our meeting place through Adopt-A-Highway. We would be cleaning up our own neighborhood. We would get public recognition for our deeds
In the form of roadside signs that marked out our stretch of road. This has been on our service calendar for two sweeps per year for a decade now. Wd traded up

Police sources and local officials indicated the event followed an altercation or fight near a bar or in the vicinity of the station. Witnesses reported the suspect returning in his vehicle and deliberately driving into the crowd. The victims were sitting on a bench at a bus stop when the car “came from the other side at full speed and ran over everyone.”
The perpetrator has since been identified by the BBC and several outlets as a 26 year-old man born in Russia.

They provide “intangible” benefits, I’m told, in language and food.
They are a huge economic benefit to the USA, they say. Benefit to whom, exactly?
They also say isn’t it great they are “helping to shore up social security” by having payroll deductions but aren’t eligible for payments. Imagine that! Exploitation.
But they are steadfast in their belief that the only reason anyone could protest millions of illegals is racism and hatred of “brown people”. The only reason. There are no downsides to open borders.

Peter Cullen, the voice behind Optimus Prime in the Transformers franchise, has died at the age of 85. His agent confirmed the news, and his family said he passed away peacefully at his Los Angeles home surrounded by loved ones.
Cullen voiced the Autobot leader in the original 1980s animated series and reprised the role in the live action films starting in 2007. He also brought Eeyore to life in Winnie the Pooh and voiced Monterey Jack in Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers.
His family shared a line he lived by, asking fans to honor his memory by "leading others with compassion, integrity and loyalty" and to always remember to "be strong enough to be gentle."

Trump’s mass deportation campaign increasingly targets legal immigration pathways to boost arrests and removals
ICE, and the right wingers who joined, are a bunch of pussies who never intended to put themselves in danger to arrest the violent criminals they like to talk about. They do like harassing and assaulting the nonviolent people though.
ICE is illegally arresting legal immigrants to intimidate and frighten every one with its power to ignore the law
It's almost like Faux News, who kept claiming that tens, if not hundreds, of millions of "illegals" were violent criminals, was full of shit.
They're focusing on conservative cities instead of liberal ones. Thats why it isn't in the news as much. This is devastating the floridian Cuban communities...Republicans are gona lose Cubans with this and maybe we'll get a blue Florida one day.
We’ve deported thousands, doge ‘cut government spending,’ "billions" in tariff revenue and shit is still expensive as hell and wages are low. Hopefully people will wake up.

You’re not supposed to support a family on a minimum wage job. They are for teenagers to learn how to show up on time, complete a series of tasks and then go home. It isn’t supposed to be fun. You’re supposed to WANT to do something else, something that will require education or experience or certification.
Kids think they deserve $30 an hour, they don’t show up, they want the newest iPhone and gaming console. They would never dream of living three to a one bedroom scuzzy apartment and working three jobs. They are spoiled, entitled, lazy drugged up brats.

Oh?
Do they provide proof of legal residency to ICE--as they are required to carry with them at all times--or not?
And, despite the evils of the Trump, the left has yet to point to a single, legal resident that has been deported.
Let alone their oft-claim of citizens could get deported.

I'm there every year for a ski and snowmobile trip. The waiters and bartenders in the nicer places are still mostly locals and white seasonal kids. But everyone else is foreigners and almost certainly illegals.
In the last few years, there's been a lot of African workers imported. In the winter at a ski resort. It's amusing to watch the (affluent) American black guests at the resort look around like "wtf are all these Africans doing here??"

Must be the latest Indivisible plan since the larger No Kings crowds are vacationing in the finest of places.
Locally: Daily Times, yesterday, "Lansdowne says no to immigration enforcement participation"
And the county's new Human Relations Commission covers discrimination complaints across four primary sectors: housing, employment, public accommodations, and health care.
The commission protects residents from discrimination based on personal characteristics, including: Race, color, ethnicity, and ancestry; religion or creed. National origin or citizenship status. Sex, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. Physical or mental disability. Age and veteran status. Familial or marital status. Source of income. Domestic or sexual violence victim status.
Imagine trying to be a private employer (other than a NP) with that mess.

Money on hobbies is actually at a all time high.
We're seeing actual signs of deflation on essentials (groceries went down 0.3% from June to July).
And price decreases are now signs of a bad economy while you also complain about Trump's inflation (which was Biden's inflation which you said wasn't real at the time).

Not only that, but these particular jobs were a very big step up for American teenagers. They would meet co-workers who would help them later in life; the job itself would provide learning opportunities unavailable elsewhere.

But they can’t seem to connect the dots. “We should have open borders!” and “I can’t believe the minimum wage is so low!” are directly connected.
Millions and millions of illegal labor drives wages down down down. Costs for rent and insurance go up. Those “intangibles” they bring are increased hit and run and carnage on the highway among other things.
Court interpreters for 72 different languages costs a fortune, by the way. Schools are fooked. The list is extensive.
Cost shifting everything onto the backs of local citizens, local governments. It is beyond repulsive. And all these bastards on the left have monetized this and make serious bank.

Illegal presence is a civil crime, not a criminal crime. The civil remedy is deportation.
It's a game of semantics, to a degree, but the fact that deportation is the actual civil remedy always entertains me.
Entering illegally is, I believe, a criminal matter, but illegals aren't picked up in Iowa for crossing the border, but for being in the country illegally.

2026 doesn't matter very much. Congress is a false prize. All power is in the executive because of the size and scope of the federal register and the fact that Congress simply does not operate correctly anymore and hasn't in something like a century.
2028 matters a lot.

- The employment laws are a big deal. Everyone wants to sue for discrimination, hostile work environment, unfair treatment, etc.
- Culture. good management of skilled, creative, people is hard because they always have "ideas". They create conflicts. They have resentment of each other. The manager has to keep them happy to do whatever needs to be done. I have fired or refused to hire many people simply because they would be a bad fit. Complainers, backstabbers, megolomaniacs, etc.. With foreigners, it isn't a problem because they will put up with a lot of shit.
- Competence. In tech, being a competent manager is tough, but necessary. You can't tell an engineer to do something foolish as he will get pissed and be very unhappy. Foreigners will waste time doing stupid shit for months, just happy know they getting paid. Or, an American will ask questions and demand resources when in over their head, but a foreigner will stay up late on youtube figuring out what the manager should have known and told them.

Police in Minneapolis reportedly raided the apartment of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son and seized firearms before arresting his roommate.
Law enforcement sources told Alpha News that a search warrant was carried out at the home of Omar's son Adnan on Tuesday night.
According to the outlet, they recovered guns and ammunition from the home and arrested his roommate Abdulrahman Abdi, 22.
Earlier that day, the city's police department said in a statement to the Daily Mail that they conducted a traffic stop and cited Abdi for no proof of insurance and no license.
The department said that Abdi was released at the scene and the vehicle was in the process of being impounded when a firearm was found inside.
Officers later tracked Abdi to an address on Marquette Ave where they said they arrested him 'without incident.'
Abdi was later booked into Hennepin County Jail on a weapons charge before being released on Wednesday night, records show.

You should actually read the law.
A cursory look at eVerify is all employers need to do to make a "good faith" effort. Then they're covered legally.
There's massive wiggle room written into the law for employers to evade responsibility for hiring illegals.
The law needs to change.

When I was a teen our church group went to an apple orchard and picked up apples for eight hours. We did not pick apples. Our job was to dig through the apples on the ground to find undamaged apples and collect them.
This was deep in the heart of summer in eastern WA. It was miserable and the air was sickly sweet with rotting apple smell. I couldn't stand anything apple flavored or scented for years.
On the plus side, I vividly remember two jerks getting into a fight. One sucker punched the other and ran away. While he was running, the other picked up a rotten apple and hit him with it. The apple exploded on top of the sucker-puncher's head and he tumbled.

Try and. They’re illegals. There’s no reason that they can’t do both, or all three.
I’m reminded of an exchange between Lex Luthor and one of his henchmen in Elliott S! Maggin’s Last Son of Krypton. He’s been laundering some of his more normal inventions through a fake name, and his accountant tells him the guy has made too much and the taxes are going to kill them.

Another doing some redrilling of some parts using a set up fixture on a big machine - put a part in, lower the drilling parts in, pull out, remove part for the cluster of boxes of parts they had.

The Morning Rant: Cultural Suicide
Norway will ignore the European Union’s demands for a moratorium on hydrocarbon exploration in the Arctic Circle and continue drilling for oil and gas in the Barents Sea, the country’s energy minister said. Speaking before Norway’s biannual energy conference, which began in Stavanger on Aug. 24, Norwegian Energy Minister Terje Aasland said Oslo had a right to develop its own sovereign resources. “In today’s geopolitical and security environment, and given the resource situation, I believe continued activity in the Barents Sea serves both Norwegian and European interests,” Aasland said.
Without exploration and bringing new wells on-line, their current production would decrease until...wait for it...they won't have enough oil and gas for their customers (Europe) and themselves. And all of that sweet foreign money that flows to Norway to fund their soft socialism would slow, and Norwegians might have to work harder to support their 200,000 Muslims. Reality is smacking Europe in the face! Green insanity can never provide enough power to run even the most basic services, and the dirty little secret of the bien pensants is that they still need oil and gas...and lots of it. When tens of thousands of Europeans die every summer because they can't afford air conditioning, and their governments won't allow them even if they could, something is broken. And it is the cradle-to-grave welfare state that so many crave. Economics is a cold-hearted bitch, and it says that when too much productive work is captured by government, growth slows, innovation slows, and wealth creation slows. That is what has happened to Europe, and its Green insanity is just accelerating its plunge into 3rd world status.

I think the whale oil industry was mostly supplanted by petroleum by the time of mass auto production, but I do know that every single pocket watch manufactured between 1850 and 1910 used whale oil as a lubricant, and we are talking about tens of millions of watches per year.
I recently read a book detailing the death of the whaling industry, and the primary reason for its collapse was the fact that petroleum oil was cheaper, easier to obtain, and just as good a product.

I read somewhere that it is still the best oil for watch mechanisms. In extremely small quantities of course. I imagine a single whale could oil all the watches in the world for decades.

I really think the Europe we see today is the result of a centuries-long brain drain. The Europeans with smarts and initiative got the hell out of there and went to the US or one of the European colonial possessions. The stupid and indolent ones were mostly left.

Being bordered by 2 oceans has been both a blessing and a curse. Until recently, many Americans didn't travel overseas the way people in Europe move between countries, particularly once the EU basically abolished borders.
A large percentage of Americans got their "facts" about the world from the garbage media. And they have a completely wrong view of the world and how people in other countries live.
The US has by far the highest quality of life on the planet. Stats can be manipulated to paint whatever picture someone wants. But when you factor in things like access to food, healthcare, education, recreation and on and on, there isn't a country on earth that offers what the US does. Not even close.

Nah, not directly. This is more humane, albeit more slowly. FDR cabinet hatched “the Morgenthau plan” during world war II to try and reduce Germany to a pastoral, post-industrial state. The prevailing view was twice in 25 years they had started major global comflict. Let’s permanently remove the ability for them to do this ever again.
You can see the same sorts of philosophy or threads at work here, I think. Ditto for the USA as well. Energy deficits, no Coal, no Nuclear, heavily dependent on imports. They are serious about banning petroleum, gas and oil. What other conclusion is there? Kneecap everything.

Yeah, one thing I'm getting more used to is this: American hellhole cities East of the Mississippi tend to have much worse violent crime, and you see many more outright abandoned areas, which is spooky.
Hellholes West of the Mississippi specialize more in property crimes, drugs, vagrancy, and just generalized mayhem/quality-of-life crimes.

But the important thing is HUNTING WHALES WITH HARPOON GRENADES. Which is frickin' awesome. So humans not only hunt whales with HARPOON GRENADES, when we find dead whales washed up on beaches, we stuff the stinking carcass with TNT and blow that shit up, scattering rotten whale flesh over several hundred yards.

Then again, we aren't blameless either. We should have cut the Eurofags loose after the Soviet Union imploded, rather than continuing to fund their defense so that they could avoid dealing with their own problems.

More than 3 million American service members deployed during the subsequent global war on terror, leading to repeated tours, high rates of post-traumatic stress, and physical injuries.
Thousands of U.S. service members and contractors died, and trillions of dollars were diverted into extended combat and occupation operations.

In the late 90s, Bill Clinton was offered up Osama by an African government for a small amount of money. They, and Clinton's own negotiator assumed we'd pay the money and do exactly what you suggest, but the Clinton admin had internal discussions of what they would do if given Osama because they didn't think they could successfully put him on trial.
And while I'm not a huge fan of Bob Dole I suspect he would have been fine with giving Osama this treatment given the opportunity.
Yes, yes it would have leaked at some point and Osama would become another leftwing martyr (and I guess he sort of is now) but...who cares

And if not 100% black, does the white part have to pay reparations to the black part?
The typical American black has somewhere between 20% and 30% white ancestry (less in the Deep South, more in northern regions).
This should be obvious to anyone who's looked at an American black person and compared them to an actual black person from equatorial Africa.

Maternal grandfather's family, for me. Story is that four brothers went to Quebec about 1617, three returned to France. The one who stayed is my ancestor, and his descendant who immigrated to the US arrived in the 1840s, left, and came back around 1870. That would be my great-great-grandfather.

It isn't about money, or even payback. What they want is to make western civilization go away, because it reminds every other culture realize they contributed almost nothing to the bounty on this planet. And, even if they get it, not only will it be extraordinarily painful, but it won't salve their conscience.

I was in my final week of basic training at Ft. Jackson, in the woods, when 9/11 happened.
I was 32 at the time, and was going through basic training...again, after I left the Army in 1989.
Twelve years of being out, had to go through again.
And 9/11 happened.
I knew I was going to war, and I did...three tours to Iraq.
Would we have gone to war with Iraq if 9/ll didn't happen? Only God knows.

One of my Russian teachers at DLI told about the busloads of Finns that would come to St. Petersburg on Sundays. Finland had blue laws back then that prohibited the sale of alcohol on Sundays. So the Finns would get on busses and go over the border to St. Petersburg, get smashed, and then get on the busses to go back to Finland in the evening.

According to a pious fiction that was very popular in the Middle Ages, Julian was of noble birth and while hunting one day, was reproached by a hart for hunting him and told that he would one day kill his mother and father. He was richly rewarded for his services by a king and married a widow. While he was away his mother and father arrived at his castle seeking him; When his wife realized who they were, she put them up for the night in the master's bed room. When Julian returned unexpectedly later that night and saw a man and a woman in his bed, he suspected the worst and killed them both. When his wife returned from church and he found he had killed his parents, he was overcome with remorse and fled the castle, resolved to do a fitting penance. He was joined by his wife and they built an inn for travelers near a wide river, and a hospital for the poor. He was forgiven for his crime when he gave help to a leper in his own bed; the leper turned out to be a messenger from God who had been sent to test him. He is the patron of hotel keepers, travelers, and boatmen. His feast day is February 12th.

Wikipedia notes there are "3 golden balls" at the feet of the dude on the right (Saint Nicholas) - who was also the model for the Christ child, evidently, but heavier - that are the symbol of his being a bishop. I don't see them.

"Imagine that it’s october 2026, and one of Germany’s 16 federal states has come under the control of a far-right government for the first time since the Nazi era. With an absolute majority in the state Parliament and one of its own installed as state premier, the Alternative for Germany, or AfD, quickly begins implementing its agenda. The interior minister announces an emergency remigration program: abolishing asylum, revoking the residence permit of any foreigner convicted of a crime, pledging to review all naturalization decisions made during this century, and incarcerating those designated for deportation. The government stops classifying Ukrainians as war refugees and ends their social benefits. European Union flags disappear from public buildings. The mainstream press is shunned in favor of influencers aligned with the party’s ideology. The government authorizes vigilante groups to act as an auxiliary police force in regions with high crime rates."

Lorenzo di Credi
It's impressive (to me) because it's a very old 1490–1494 painting for the church of Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi; oil on wood (panel), and almost 5 & a half ft square. But I had no idea who Saint Julian and Saint Nicholas of Myra were/are.
Saint Julian, according to myth, unwittingly fulfilled a pagan prophecy by killing his own parents, then spent the rest of his life dedicated to penance. He's the patron saint of travelers, innkeepers, ferrymen, and pilgrims.
Saint Nicholas of Myra (The Wonderworker) was a 4th-century Christian bishop from Myra (Turkey) and his historical legacy eventually inspired the modern myth of Santa Claus. He has the bishop's vestments and 3 gold balls (or purses of gold) at his feet.
The gold is related to his most famous charitable act, saving three poor daughters from a life of destitution or prostitution by anonymously throwing bags of gold through their window to provide for their wedding dowries. He's the patron saint of children, sailors, merchants, unmarried girls, and pawnbrokers.
Wouldn't hang the painting but it's another interesting lesson.

My guess is more prosaic. Celebs do that primarily because they don't want to be hounded in public. Dressing down and not having an entourage allows them to escape the gilded cage now and again.

Now, that I think about it...
I believe the ugliness of Renaissance Baby Jesus portraits comes from the attempt to give the Infant Jesus -
the look of complex thought and emotions that the Son of God would/should possess.
Babies faces are unlined and their expressions direct and simple. Not much to work with if portrayed realistically.
So, the painted Christ Child gets an adult face.

I watched a hearing that was held in Georgia after the 2020 election. The group trying to investigate election issues regarding the obviously fraudulent 2020 election brought in an some election honcho as an expert witness.
He took out his laptop and hacked into one of the Georgia election machines and manipulated votes right in the middle of the hearing.

Sorry, you're wrong.
Every media story is required to note that claims of election fraud are made "without evidence."
They would not lie about that.
Plus, Trump lost all 875 election cases from 2020.
None of those judges admitted any evidence of election fraud so that proves there was no election fraud.

The Morning Report — 8/ 27 /26
Good morning kids. And so President Trump made this move yesterday.
President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order on Wednesday declaring a national emergency to protect the United States’ bulk-power system from foreign threats. The order prohibits the purchase or installation of certain foreign-produced electric equipment that poses cybersecurity risks or operational vulnerabilities. . . By addressing vulnerabilities in the supply chain, the order aims to secure the reliability of the U.S. electric grid, reduce dependency on foreign components, and mitigate risks to national security. It also aims to protect critical infrastructure that supports defense, emergency services, and the broader economy.Considering we are in a state of war, no not with Canada, despite the idiocy farted out by their yammering potato headed PM Carney, that we discussed yesterday. I mean Iran and behind the scenes the Chi-Coms. And Iran still has a very dangerous and operational Cyber Warfare capability most recently demonstrated by their sabotaging of a major British power plant for several days.
So, the President's move is for sure understandable. That said we had this totally avoidable madness happen right here in Gary, In...
Gary, Indiana, just wrapped up week two with no power, and the left-wing narrative on the extended blackout is (unsurprisingly), “It’s racism!” As someone who lived in Gary for a decade, I can tell you it is anything but that. Gary made me a conservative. In 1999, I married a man from Gary and moved to his home on the west side. That marked the beginning of a 10-year journey in one of the most dangerous cities in America. I was a default Democrat at the time, like most black Americans. Still, as a Christian woman, I dove into community service right away, helping launch and direct an afterschool program.Yes, it wasn't cyber-warfare nor racism, but the evils of the absolute incompetence of Leftist/Democrat longterm control of a city that caused this deterioration. Suffering and misery of the citizenry is all because said Democrats/Leftists are interested in is the accrual and maintenance of absolute power at all costs. Speaking of which, I give you the diametric opposite of the sane, erudite woman who wrote that piece; the bald-headed, brain damaged, vile, twisted Lopecia Pressley.
“It is bigger than Trump,” Pressley said. “Because whenever we do the work of ousting the occupant of the Oval Office, the Confederacy is still alive and well. That’s all MAGA is.”Funny, the confederacy and the slavery, Jim Crow and big government genocide of Black America was created and fomented by the DEMOCRAT Party, as it is until this very day. All they have left is a tattered and shit-stained race card to play as more and more black Americans are abandoning them en masse. Not enough in terms of numbers and speed necessarily to satisfy me but I think the trend is there. If it weren't then we wouldn't be seeing the reactions to Gary, or Flint Michigan or anywhere else their incompetence causes misery, dislocation and death, or just the knee-jerk blood-libeling like this repulsive piece of shit and everyone like her. When do we declare a national emergency because of the continued assault on the nation and society by the Democrat/Left. They will be our undoing if the Muslim's don't finish us off first. If that is the case it will be because their allies on the Left will have greased their wheels. My only satisfaction is knowing their pinheads will be lopped off as Islam seizes control of everything. Have a good day.

Last night I went to a dinner with others in a Widow Support Group. During that, I was drawn into a political discussion. I explained some things.
I did get one Trump hater to admit that she was looking at things emotionally, but not analytically. My focus was on how Trump's actions are all against China. She thought Trump's praise of Xi was sincere! Sheesh.
I used low casualties to show Trump's actions are smarter than previous Presidents.

The cities must collapse since they are incubators of the worst human traits and motives.

It's not that they can't understand Trump, it's that they don't want to. Because that would mean admitting he's pretty damned good at stuff.
The guy spoke nice of Chuck Schumer to his face at the Al Smith Dinner; got Kim of NK to crack a smile when he stepped over the border.
Do they think he means all that as well?
Imagine choosing to believe he likes Chuck, Kim, Xi, et al.
But, it is funny--there's a reason Canada won't show their people the terms of the trade deal (and lied about what it actually said) but the US was happy to:
The trade deal wasn't to hurt Canada--it was to cut China out of using Canada as a middleman.

Our side has a life outside of the demonic pursuit of absolute power over other human beings.
A tiny percentage of the US hears her words. Some nod in agreement—she could say literally anything and they would still nod because they can't process her words, her audience is like your dog that responds to how you say words, and how certain sounds are supposed to trigger certain Pavlovian responses.
The other tiny group hears her words, processes them, and then get angry, mistakenly projecting their own abilities, sensibilities and moral framework onto a population that is beating off watching pr0n on their mobile devices.

Like skyscraper tall ships.
Anyway, thought, what is the maximum size of a wooden ship?
Turns out, it's about 350 feet long with about 6,000 long tons in payload.
By comparison, the Megamax steel container ships are 1,312 feet long, holding about 24k 20-feet containers.
The Valemax ore carriers are 1,180 feet long and have a payload of some 400,000 tons of ore.

Absolutely. The number of dead is somewhere between 95 and 10,000 - and likely much closer to 10,000. Most of the bodies will never be found.
FYI - the videos out of the large government building being hit by a 100 foot tall wave of black water and debris were of a border crossing post between Nepal and China. The videos of the town being destroyed were from the next town down the valley from that post.

I saw someone claiming the Dems have opened a campaign HQ in the Canadian PM office.
IDK if it's true in fact but it's definitely true in spirit.
Oh, and saw a generic party approval that has the Dems at only +0.8% and falling.
Anything less than +5 and they're not flipping the House.
I'm sure they'll improve those numbers by siding with Canada in a largely irrelevant trade war...

But she's griping about it. "I don't like seeing this many blacks around," she says. This is a COMPLETELY different environment than the urban black neighborhoods she grew up in. It's a mostly white area. The blacks who live here share "white" values, work, and keep their houses and cars nice, go to church, etc., just like her.
But the psychological trauma from spending your youth in those places never really goes away. She's having visions of crack dealers menacing our daughters on their way to school, any day now.
It reminds me of my grandmother's old Jewish refugee friends - they would do stuff like boarding up canned goods and valuables in the walls. In Pittsburgh. In the 1990s.

yes this is definitely the case
at the same time, it looks like lil Joshie was working with a Dem PAC as well on the "killer measles" op. things are coming out fast and furious on X.
it was totally a set up. one of the "cases" was a newborn who died of blunt trauma (assume birthing problem?) - spleen ruptured. far too young for a measles vaccine and the supposed "measles" found in the poor thing's tissues was minuscule.
the other case is apparently really old (time wise) and can't be found to confirm any of the details. it might just be made up.

US Aims to Revive Civil War-Era Court to Claim Iran Oil as Prize
The anticipated revival is the second time this year the administration has turned to an obscure court system to carry out its agenda, after bringing the first-ever case before the Alien Terrorist Removal Court in July.
“Our national security interests may require the United States military to seize vessels or cargo supporting the enemy during military conflict,” Reitz said in a statement. “If that happens, our federal courts must be ready to adjudicate the disposition of these captured vessels and cargo.”

He acquired the team from the Morabito estate and subsequently gave it to his son, Edward J. DeBartolo Jr.
After a legal scandal involving Jr. in 1998–2000, control of the franchise was transferred to his sister, Denise DeBartolo York, and her husband, Dr. John York.
The York family remains the principal owner today, with dummy son Jed York serving as CEO and becoming the principal owner in name in 2024.
The family has owned the team for nearly fifty years, and made billions doing so. What's a few scandals in the process?

Open Society Foundations began work in Nepal in 2007, when the country was emerging from a decade-long Maoist insurgency. Per the Tides Foundation, "The monarchy had just been abolished, and the country needed to elect a constituent assembly in order to draw up a permanent constitution."
More current, Chinese nationalist commentators and media have linked George Soros-backed NGOs and Western interference to the September 2025 youth-led "Gen Z" protests that overthrew Nepal's pro-Beijing government.
In the interim: 2023 Press Release, UN Environment Program, 'Nepal unveils historic climate adaptation plan.
Nepal has today launched its first National Adaptation Plan (NAP), a comprehensive strategy aimed at bolstering the nation's resilience against climate change. The plan, having an estimated cost of USD 47 billion extending to 2050, was unveiled at the National Climate Summit in Kathmandu.
The funding model for Nepal's NAP involves a blend of national and international financial support, with the Nepalese government committing USD 1.5 billion and external sources providing the remaining USD 45.9 billion.

"UNEP’s Adaptation Gap Report 2023, released earlier this month, highlights the urgency of such initiatives, estimating the costs of climate adaptation in South Asia could range between US$40 billion and US$205 billion per year over the next ten years, or around 1 to 5.1 per cent of the region’s gross domestic product.
UNEP and the government of Nepal have successfully worked together on a range of climate adaptation initiatives and projects since 2013, including ecosystem-based adaptation projects in Kathmandu Valley and the Dolakha region, a conflict and peace project, and a flagship initiative on south-south cooperation.
At the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference in Dubai (Cop2

360 Insty has a link to an article about how things should be made of better stuff and worth fixing, and laments the whole "everything is disposable" culture we're in.
But it got me thinking, especially in light of my current situation (been busy lately)...
Why is that an unalloyed Good? Implied in that position is the assumption that I actually have the time to sit down and fiddle with a thing that's broken. Diagnosis, buying parts, farmer-rigging whatever parts I can't buy, then hoping it works and there isn't something else wrong with it as well.
I don't have that time these days. If something i need breaks, my options are "get another one" or "do without".
Repairing your own stuff is a bit of a luxury. And the rise of Disposable Culture of cheap things that aren't worth fixing when they break has masked the fact that the dollar is worth far less than it used to be. If anyone tried to "make things like they used to", they'd cost 10x as much and no one could have them at all except the very wealthy who wouldn't waste their time on fixing broken things because they have to.

I spent this morning at our vacation home changing outdoor electric outlet covers which deteriorated in the rain over 16 years.
Also reverse engineered a patio light fixture so that I can convert it from PL bulbs and their ballasts to regular E27s. Ordered the ceramic bulb sockets with attached brackets from AliExpress. So the project is on hold until those arrive.

1) an expanding population, so there's a continuous demand for your product whose parents could tell you how excellent a value it is so buy it to save money OR
2) a product that is weirdly specific and difficult to substitute that fails at the sweet spot where you haven't pissed off the customer so much that they are in "fuck you, asshole" mode because it happened 1 month after you bought it but haven't delayed the failure for so long that they've forgotten who built that thingy that just failed and are open to looking for the cheapest substitute.
A lot of engineers would go for option 1 if possible. A lot of business school suits would go for option 2 no matter what.
Since 1st world populations aren't being expanded by 1st world humans, we're at option 2 (which makes the suits happy anyways).

Two possibilities that I see:
a) Because when the bubble pops (and they know it will) they want to be controlling as much of this branch of technology as possible, that way they stand a chance of still having some of the small surviving percentage of AI businesses that are actually useful enough to pay for, and that can make them money. A lot of companies are going to go under, but whoever survives can come back and potentially own the market.
b) They're trying to make themselves "too big to fail" so they can ask for a huge government bailout when the bubble pops.
Of course this could all be undone by having a debt-to-income ratio that's so insanely high that they just get sunk anyway, especially if Uncle Sugar says "No bailout."

And then the video of him kicking out a taillight on a federal vehicle and acting like a lunatic with a gun in his waistband came out, and it all went away almost literally overnight.

Her Majesty asked me to back up her files, in light of the disk failure I recently suffered. Please remember, Her Majesty has problems with electronics that no other human being ever, has ever, or will ever have.
I sit down at her desk and try to wake her computer up. It is, as usual, sluggish as hell. I decide to shut it down and restart it. I shut it down properly, having closed all the programs and clicked on the Shut Down button.
I wait and restart it. The Windows screen comes up but it says that the password has expired and has to be reset. What password? It's been years that she's had it and if I did set anything up, it would have been with a PIN.
So I have to type in the old password and a new one. I try a bunch of commonly used passwords. None work. Does the computer give me any option to recover my password? No. Is HP any help? No.
I try a number of things suggested online. None work. I try resetting the computer to a restore point. It chews on this for an inordinate time, then says it's done and to restart. I do that. Now Windows won't boot up at all.

Stirling is doing okay on his diet. The IAMS dry food bag says a 12-lb. cat (which is underweight, for him) should get 6 oz. a day. Yet I've been giving him about 4, combined with canned food. The problem is no doubt that he proceeds to eat what Dagny leaves after her first quick nibblings. Thus I have to be even more of a "parent" than I already am, taking up her bowl to protect it from him and setting it back down when she is ready to eat more.

You are probably right.
And yes, I did. Am I going to have a hassle about that? The house does not suit my needs. Is it possible in future to spot a house I really like, pay for an inspection, and then if it's clean -- and nobody else has put in an offer -- to go ahead with my own offer?

I also hate the whole 'use your social media account as an authenticator' that facebook started.
I also sympathize greatly with the fight against botnets, 50-cent armies, and so forth that make accounts preferable.
I think 'anti-scraping' and 'you bypassed our API' is the least defensible argument because dude this is the age of xAI scraping everything too.
So I dunno whose side I'm on except that I would use xcancel not to bypass x.com, but because videos that had high traffic wouldn't *load and play* on x.com, I had to get them through xcancel or whatever alternatives. And that's x's fault, not xcancel's.

Wolfus, as I understand the process of house buying.... and I am NOT a lawyer or a real estate agent...but FWIW I have bought houses in at least 3 states...
If you made an offer and they accepted it, I would assume there was some earnest money put into an escrow account. If the seller did not disclose certain issues then that could be grounds for rescinding the offer without loss of the earnest money. However, it's also customary for the seller to pay for remediation of the issue(s) at their cost to maintain the contract.

Yes, I did put in earnest money. I got it back on my previous adventure, when the sellers declined to fix the issues the inspection turned up. I'd hate to lose it here. But the house really is kind of small for me. Am I really at the mercy of the seller? If I say, "Fix A, B, and C," and they agree, am I stuck?

It begins to look as if I need to be on the ground to look at whatever property I am interested in. If I'd physically been touring the house, I'd have realized there was not enough closet space, and would never have made the offer.

Wednesday Night ONT - August 26, 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. [Top photo: Sevierville, Tennessee]
On one cold and cloudy day
And I saw the hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away Oh, can the circle be unbroken?
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home awaiting
In the sky, Lord, in the sky
Paper has been utilized for purposes of hygiene since the 6th Century, in China. It became a mass-produced product in the 14th Century. Modern toilet paper, for commercial use, started in the 19th Century and a patent for dispensers, that could hold rolls, was made in 1883. The rolled toilet paper that we use today, which is perforated, was created in the 1880's. Toilet paper varies immensely; size, roughness, weight, resistance, residues, water-absorption, etc. The bigger companies invest time and money in surveys to figure out which requirements sell best. This can lead to the adding of aloe in the paper, for a softer feeling paper. Northern Issue, in 1935, began to advertise toilet paper that was "splinter free." Up until this point, it was common to have splinters in toilet roll, due to the production techniques used. St. Andrew's Paper Mill, in the UK, launched 2-ply paper in 1942.Ouch.
A New Jersey woman who accidentally flushed her wedding ring down a train toilet was reunited with the precious object thanks to NJ Transit employees. Julie Angelicola said she had just left the bathroom aboard an NJ Transit train when she realized her wedding ring was missing. "So I'm kind of meticulously getting all of this soap off of my hands with toilet paper and literally going finger by finger, and crumpling it all up, trying to do it quickly - threw it in the toilet, flushed the toilet, went back to my seat," Angelicola told WPVI-TV. She reported the ring's loss to NJ Transit, which took the train out of service. Employees put the train up on jacks, removed the toilet tank and opened it up to discover Angelicola's ring on top. The ring was returned to Angelicola on Monday at a NJ Transit Customer Service Center.

I did a trial run yesterday because I needed to make sure the play list worked. I have a newer teacher on Saturday and giving her a playlist where she has to really find the beats for 8 counts would be mean. Anyway, everyone loved it. No issues with Jolene. I love that song - Miley Cyrus does an incredible cover of it, by the way. The tear jerker moment is “I Will Always Love You”. I used it for stretch, so I could use the original and not a remix.

about 2012 most of that colored stuff went away. Paper towels with printing on it, patterned TP, and the rest. I think it was a form of shrinkflation.
I stopped buying it because I shopped at really cheap stores, but I suspect it all dried up about then.

Greetings from Ft. Smith, Arkansas. Continuing toward home tomorrow.
Dolly P is a loss. Kind of like when Charlie Shultz (Peanuts) passed. An irreplaceable part of what makes us 'us' is gone.
RIP Dear Lady.

fleet during Superstorm Sandy. Parked their trains in their low-lying yard near Weehawken next to the Hudson. Dozens of other places to park their trains, high and dry. No one got in trouble for this and they got huge amounts of Fed money to buy all new train cars. Nice, right?

Not as an ignominious fall as Dolly Sharp (real name Helen Wood). She was a dancer and Broadway performer (including work in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes on Broadway, the Radio City Music Hall Ballet Corps, and the 1953 MGM musical Give a Girl a Break). She later appeared in a supporting role as Helen, in Deep Throat.
In DT, she asked a dude "Mind if I smoke while you eat?"

I have a novelty TP dispenser. It’s a music box but triggered by pulling toilet paper off. Unfortunately modern toilet paper is thinner than when this thing was built and the cardboard tubes are thinner, too. So the paper isn’t strong enough to wind the music box and the tube isn’t circular enough to let the music play when the springs tighten.

Always thought that was funny... until Th. night.
I fell and I couldn't get up! Spent the night on the floor, and the next 6 days in a hospital. Hurt my right knee, but nothing broken or torn.
I'll be getting in-home physical therapy for an unknown period of time.
Hospital: First time I ever had a young woman hold my junk to enable me urinate. I was humiliated and mortified the first time. But then the experience became as familiar and routine as tooth brushing. Both of us bored.
I spent a night on the floor because of an unlikely series of cascading events-- same way most disasters occur. I put two devices on chargers in the kitchen at the same time, 40 feet from my bed. One was a Life Alert-tyoe emergency fall alarm; the other was my cell phone-- while my son was out-of-town. So I was alone.

No. Way.
One of my favorite interviews Jerry gave was when the interviewer tried to get him to trash the Monkeys. Jerry said something like the Monkeys have a huge fan base. Not what we play but a lot of people like their music.
Jerry was also a really nice person. Funny how that works.

I can't now, but that is the major goal the physical therapist & I will be aiming toward.
I have multiple problems-- severe arthritis, which showed on the x-rays; terrible stenosis (lower back pain); loss of muscle mass.
So this is going to be a project. I intend to get my regular shower modified into a walk-in shower. (I used to laugh at those ads too.) I intend to put in ramps, to help get over steps I have to climb to enter the house.
For years I've been saying that I'll put up with physical disabilities, as long as i don't have mental ones. Too glib. I may have tempted fate.

I had long sat with disquiet about bacchic women or the feeling that women would, in their insatiable fervor/desire for Dionysius tear him apart.
I grew up with women as homemakers and often the force that held things together as males got over their rebellious youths. So, I couldn't see the ancient force of women out of control that another culture might have seen.
I see the AWFLs and the women who "Stand with Lindsey", and I get it now.
I can see what the ancients wanted to tell us about the destructive force of women running wild.

I did it. Last Thursday. My foot slipped on the bottom stair coming out of the camper. Went over the edge of the stair, backward, smacked my ass on the ground and my head on the wheel hub. Cut a 2" long gash in the back of my head, which bled like an SOB.
When the EMTs showed up (DH freaked and called), they asked if I lost consciousness. DH informed them that I swore a blue streak the entire time, so, no.
I got up. I put the washcloth on my head cut. I cursed some more. They still took me in the ambulance to the ER, where I got 5 staples.
Now the damned things are itchy, but I need to get them out on Friday.
So, yeah. Curse if it helps, and I think it does.

My dad took up mountain running when he was 72 years old, on a dare by one of his friends. He was out of shape and fat. By the time he was 80, he held the record for his age group on Mt. Marathon (look it up). Just do it, already.

Live TV was a big deal in the 60s, one thing you can tell, everybody is supposed to smile. All the time. Smile! Sometimes you can hear the producer yelling “Smile!” and, they do. How do you fake a smile? I was never too good at that. But they got that perma-grin plastered on their face the whole tune

All the revolutionaries try to sound tough as long as they are protected by the System they hate so much. If there is no Constitution there are only two alternatives. Either it's Mad Max, and Piker would be livestock at that point and he knows it. That leaves only Kings. Piker sees himself fit to rule over us because he's just better than us. I'd also be willing to bet he doesn't want let insignificant things like lost elections and other peoples' rights get in the way of his righteous and wise rule. Because he's better than us.
His arrogance makes my skin crawl.

There is a reason Darleen and Charleen sign up for the 8 PM shift at the Waffle Hut on Wednesdays. They wore out by then too.
Marleen is out cooling off in the inflatable pool, even thought the water temp is the same as the air and about the same humidity.
At this point not just my back, but every muscle and sinew feels abused. Been worse and worse since shortly after 6 AM. 6:27 to be specific (Wednesdays is payday at the Hut).

Always heard it as "paid my dime." Is that inflation, or the US-Canadian exchange rate?
Although I'd read about them (including the aforementioned graffitum), I had never encountered pay toilets — didn't seem to exist in our neck of the woods — until the road trip Dad, my older brother, and I took to the NY World's Fair in '64. Somewhere along the road "back east," I went into a restroom and there was a long, long row of pay toilets. I'd read that there was usually a free one at the far end, and sure enough there was, maintained about as poorly as you'd expect. Yuck. Didn't use it.

Greg laments, as I did immediately, that we didn't get the circular definition of a "Woman" is "Somebody who identifies as a woman" until seeing this Brit demonstrate the circularity of by asking a prog drone:
"What is a woman?"
Drone: "A woman is somebody who identifies as a woman."
"And what is that?"
What is that thing they think they are? Merely anybody identifying as that label?
Then why would you have you penis removed, if nobody knows whether that majority has penises or not? Why would you get tits?
So clear when somebody who saw it sooner, demonstrates the circularity. I wish I had seen it sooner.

Once they are unburdened of God, not another thing has to be critically examined.
I am distinctly not saying that not believing in God is lazy thinking. I'm just saying that the stress of considering God into your thinking--the weight of God--is relieved and that's mainly all the "thinking" required. "Is that stress necessary."
And even as a Christian, I can't say that it could be defined as such.
I just think we've seen the returns of "weightless" thinking.
It's what Marxism and Critical Theory ARE. It's what's Owen's original "socialism" WAS. It's Rousseau, and the Jacobins before all that.

It's amazing how fast the mind can run at times. I contemplated falling on the basket somehow, but couldn't maneuver it in time, so I dropped it on the landing. I remember being in mid-air and realizing there was absolutely nothing I could do to catch myself or alter my trajectory. I chose trying to relax and landing as flat on my back as I could. That sorta worked.
When my skull hit, there was an evil-sounding crackle, but fortunately it was some soft-edged rock around the shrubbery, which gave way rather than cracking my skull. The brick scraping down my leg hurt but was pretty superficial and healed up soon.
As I lay there looking up at the night sky, I realized Mom was abed at the other end of the house, and MiladyJo was in the kitchen, out of earshot. I had no choice but to turn over, and crawl back up the stairs. Grateful to have got off relatively easy.
It was a lesson in being older, fer surely.

I have a fondness for the writing called "philosophy", or "Love of Wisdom". Because that is a history of analytics.
To "analyze" is to "take apart". But things do not exist in our world taken apart. Therefore, for my one method I have to shift between a type of holism and analytics, but never trusting too much in the reduction of analysis.
All my reading of philosophy is putting writing through a filter of "How would this be true to me? In what sense can I verify the chain of rationale given?" or at least "In what sense would I integrate these principles into my way of seeing the world?"

Seriously, the proper term would be "lunar noon", but that can be a bit ambiguous, sort of implying solar noon on the Moon. A related notion would be the "synodic lunar day", which is really ambiguous, but this would be the average time between transits of the Moon. Like a solar day, but using the Moon rather than the sun. And that period is just a smidge under 25 hours.

Because the center of mass of the Earth-Moon system is within the Earth, but on the side closer to the Moon. So gravity is a touch weaker on the side of the Earth away from the Moon. The Moon-side high tide is higher than the one away from the Moon.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at August 27, 2026 01:50 AM (1z8ji)
That gets a bit...complicated. It's due to the tidal field of the Moon (and Sun, too, but the Moon is the dominant effect). The tidal field is the *gradients* in the gravitational field, the difference between the acceleration or g-field over a distance of interest. The tidal field of the inverse square Netwonian field of a spherical mass goes as the inverse cube of the distance, and is stretching in the radial direction, but compressive in the tangential directions.
Imagine a plastic body immersed in the field. Relative to its own center of mass, it gets stretched a bit in the radial direction, and squashed in the other two directions.
This produces two "tidal bulges" along the radial center line. This is what causes the tides. As the earth spins under the Moon, those tidal bulges, aligned with the Moon, move across the surface.

Now, because of friction, those tidal bulges pulled up by the Moon's tidal field can't slip under the earth perfectly, so they get dragged along and lead the Moon a little bit. Thus, friction causes the tidal bulge line to get a little ahead of the Moon.
The difference in mass distribution of the earth causes a "torqueing" of the Moon's orbit, and slowly throws into a higher orbit. The Moon thus is receding.
This also causes a counter torque that slows the earth down. This is required from conservation of angular momentum. As the earth slows down, it loses rotational kinetic energy. Some of that goes to heat due to the friction and the rest goes to the Moon's own orbital energy.
This is thus a type of "spin-orbit" coupling due to the tidal forces.

And this came to mind-
Posted by: wait for it at August 27, 2026 02:02 AM (4RYRd)
The tidal field of the Moon (and Sun) are also responsible for precession of the earth's spin axis by another mechanism. This normal torque is caused by the tidal field acting on the "spare tire", the earth's equatorial bulge caused by its rotation.
There is some rather complex physics in the tidal field.
And Isaac Newton first worked all that out.

That's why Newton is perhaps the smartest man who ever lived. Einstein himself said so, remarking he stood on the shoulders of giants, and Newton was one big giant.
Newton's IQ was likely about 190, six standard deviations above the norm. Shakespeare was probably up there as well. This is not to diss a lot of the other greats, but Newton probably takes the cake. 5 and 6 sigma people, all of them.

JQ, go to timeanddate.com and plug in the nearest town to you, and go to the moonrise page. An eclipse link will be there as well, and you can get the timings.
Now, if you want to be really accurate for exact location, go here:
"www.timeanddate.com/moon/@Lat,Long", where Lat and Long are your coordinates in decimal. W long is negative, so make sure the minus sign is there.
Timeanddate uses topocentric coordinates with the WGS84 ellipsoid, and is dead accurate with the timing.

I think the sim card doesn't have the capacity to do it.
That's why I went to a smart phone. I deleted most of the apps and it the three years I've had it used Apple store (you have to use Apple store to download anything Free or not) three times.
Can't bring myself to accommodate them.
But it will spoil you. Texts, email, good camera, and the contacts -
I've got 5#s for several places with notes. That ability turned me.
And you can view the web. Or interact. It's difficult.
But in a pinch I've bought and sold things.
It's like Pixy said IOS is bullet proof with apple slop on top.
I bought an 11 used three year ago and it's still going strong.
For less than 300.

But it got me thinking, especially in light of my current situation (been busy lately)...
Why is that an unalloyed Good? Implied in that position is the assumption that I actually have the time to sit down and fiddle with a thing that's broken. Diagnosis, buying parts, farmer-rigging whatever parts I can't buy, then hoping it works and there isn't something else wrong with it as well.
I don't have that time these days. If something i need breaks, my options are "get another one" or "do without".
Repairing your own stuff is a bit of a luxury. And the rise of Disposable Culture of cheap things that aren't worth fixing when they break has masked the fact that the dollar is worth far less than it used to be. If anyone tried to "make things like they used to", they'd cost 10x as much and no one could have them at all except the very wealthy who wouldn't waste their time on fixing broken things because they have to.

So my wife was having issues and went to the dr who said basically, "could be anything we'll have to do an ultrasound". In the process of doing the ultrasound, the dr. was there, they found something and the dr said, "oh no that's 12mm 3x the size that we would just discount we must do a biopsy and send it all to oncology right now. We will have it all run and will call you tomorrow.
So today is "tomorrow" and they called,
"hi we're the dr's office..."
yes?
"Oh, well, let me see. Well we're calling you about the test..."
yes?
"We finished it. All done. Checkmark. fini.."
Yes, and the results...
"Oh you wanted to know... wow, ok,... lets see we're playing golf today, tomorrow watching some cat videos, love those crazy cats... How about a week from now if you're not busy."

................
This is my reason........I went through two rounds of antibiotics when a cat that I tried to shoo off my deck decided to dig every claw and every tooth he had into my leg........
Another time I was sitting on the couch of a pt's home when a cat was all over me wanting some love/pets. While I was petting him he proceeded to launch himself onto the top of my head and dig his claws into my scalp. The extraction was not fun
I don't know if I dislike them as much as I don't trust them.
I tried cats early on and they kept shitting in my plants and my closet.
Just my reasons!

Was amused to see those little lawn signs - here they "This house is ignorant and morally narcissistic, and just believes mindless slogans" (well, that's not what they say but you know the ones).
In some Canmore outlying areas, they said "Unity". Which I thought was just perfect. You see, the problem isn't most of the country morphing into a soft authoritarian economic basket case aligned with Chy-nah, that is vandalizing and harassing Albertans. It's .... "Unity". Darkly hilarious.

I think it would give the Provincial government a mandate to try to negotiate separation from Ottawa under the terms of the so-called "Clarity Act". Ottawa can be counted upon to not bargain in good faith. I would expect several fruitless rounds of negotiations, followed perhaps by an avowedly separatist party winning an Alberta provincial election, and simply issuing a UDI.

They filed a cease and desist order against xcancel.
First, they shut off the ability of embedded links to execute video. "Stick our app on your phone!"
When the outcry got too large, they enabled video, but blocked out audio. "Stick our app on your phone!"
Now, they've removed the workaround of adding "cancel" behind the "x", in front of the ".com", using the URL.edit function. " Stick our app on your phone!"
Fuck 'em.

I think the best result would be to break up into statelets under a US security umbrella. Its absurd how the main government takes money out of the region and retards development. It should invest more into the area, get it populous and rich and pull Canada up that way.
I think any of those would need some reconstruction to become US territories/states but with increased funds from the US to develop the border areas this wouldn't have to be too painful.

In Japan they are doing the first human trials in re-growing adult teeth by suppressing the factors that prevent further tooth buds from forming. The initial trial is with patients who never developed adult teeth. This first trial should be completed in a year or two, and then they go to second phase with adults with removed or damaged teeth.
Human trials begin for drug that could let adults regrow teeth for the first time

Oldcat at 128 mentioned a similar occurrence. Support staff freaks you out for reasons of their own. I'm not a Karen type who likes to complain about bad service, but we're not talking cold pancakes here!

I'm not seeing any parallel between Ukraine, Russia, and Canada.
If the US wants Canada, it can take it. Their army is pathetic and their people are disarmed.
The issue with Alberta is purely domestic, and we can sidestep that by recognizing them as an independent country and go forward from there. If one province bolts, others may well follow, but promising them American statehood is premature.

A trio of vocally pro-Israel House Democrats were given powerful posts on the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday, with one taking the reins of the subcommittee that oversees U.S.-Middle East policy. Why it matters: It is a substantial win for the party's pro-Israel wing despite growing pro-Palestinian sentiment among the party's grassroots. And it could have global ramifications, with Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) indicating that, if he becomes chair of the Middle East and North Africa subcommittee next year, he will use the position to shore up U.S. support for Israel. "If Democrats take control of the House, I'll be in a position to help steer U.S. policy on Israel and the Middle East," he told Axios. Driving the news: In addition to Moskowitz leading Democrats on the MENA subcommittee, pro-Israel Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) and Wesley Bell (D-Mo.) were appointed to the Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday. Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisc.), a pro-Palestinian progressive and prolific critic of the pro-Israel group AIPAC, was also appointed to the panel. Moskowitz, Wasserman Schultz and Bell all dispatched left-wing primary challengers this election cycle who went after their support of Israel.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said on Tuesday he did not support an upcoming event in his city featuring the leader of the Hindu nationalist group that is the ideological parent of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Mohan Bhagwat, chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is scheduled to speak at a Manhattan event on Saturday, according to the event's website. "I don't support the rally, but I don't know if the city has any jurisdiction to cancel a private event," Mamdani, who is the first Muslim and Indian American mayor of New York City, said when asked if the event should be canceled. "The vision of India that I was taught by my family and one that I grew up being very familiar with was of a pluralistic society of a secular Republic that believed in the belonging of each and every person who was from India. And it has been incredibly troubling to see the rise of a movement that is predicated on an exclusionary vision."Oh he demands India be an "inclusive" government? Does he make the same demand of Muslim governments, I do wonder? No I don't wonder that at all. Woman parodies the darkest of all social media "trends," "Mothers" proudly telling the world they hate their children and would do the "Same" as Lindsay. Note that is a parody. I wouldn't say she's undermining the seriousness of this situation. I myself have found it difficult to even talk about it, because it's so dark and disgusting and speaks poorly for the future of mankind. And I mean the short-term future -- what will happen in 10-15 years? How many Child-Murdering Feminist "Heroes" will we live to see? For me, the only way I can even begin to address this horror is through parodies like this. THEN: Chris Cuomo says that covid "misinformation" is the greatest threat to this country and must be suppressed through censorship. LATER: Chris Cuomo says he never advocated for censorship and is stridently a free speech warrior. Woke 1 was crazyyyy, man. Is Michigan okay?

"The Indian (or “Asian”/South Asian) community in Uganda—largely of Gujarati origin, including merchants, traders, and business families who arrived under British colonial rule—was a small minority (roughly 1% or less of the population at its peak of ~80,000–100,000 people). Before Idi Amin’s 1972 expulsion order, they dominated much of the formal economy: contemporary and later accounts commonly state they owned a large majority of businesses (figures often cited in the 75–90% range) and generated the overwhelming share of tax revenues."

Moskowitz is a self-proclaimed "DeSantis Democrat" so he's a lost cause
anyone in florida chas a mandate from heaven to vote republican just this once. This guy being in charge of israel policy is more dangerous thab another generic republican
Party leadership is still dead set on being pro Israel and most DSA electeds won't even call out Jeffries or Schumer.
The Democrats are really showing the limits of democracy by their refusal to budge on an 80/20 issue because their money demands it. Same with data centers.
Reminder: Favoring any nation over the U.S. is called treason. With DWS and Moskowitz running in newly gerrymandered districts, I won't shed a tear if they lose.
Idiots. They are buckling down to fight the coming storm. Well, guess what? Ain't gonna happen.

Causes: Rising communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims, driven by the Two-Nation Theory and demands by Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Muslim League for a separate Muslim state to ensure political representation.
Borders: The borders, known as the Radcliffe Line, were drawn by Sir Cyril Radcliffe in just five weeks, a hasty process that divided the provinces of Punjab and Bengal along religious lines.
Human Cost: The partition triggered one of history's largest mass migrations, displacing approximately 15 million people. It was accompanied by severe communal violence, resulting in an estimated 200,000 to 2 million deaths.
Long-term Impact: The partition created geopolitical tensions, particularly over Kashmir, and led to the eventual separation of East Pakistan into Bangladesh in 1971. It also left unresolved territorial disputes and deep social scars that continue to influence India-Pakistan relations. You may now continue.

Why do they keep including Michelle Obama in these polls? She has has shown 0 interest in running for office and she pretty much hated Barack being president from all accounts.
Hill dog was the most popular politician in the country at one point. They'd simply turn on the attack machine and make half the country hate her so much the median voter would say "where there's smoke there fire"
Hillary probably would have won the primary and general if she ran in 2020. She was polling similar numbers as Harris now
if AOC gears up for a presidential run she would trounce Kamala with younger voters.
Us clearly not ready for a women president. Democrats just need to win. Biden wasn’t a shiny choice, and didn’t seem progressive. But he was the most progressive president ever and won.
Not gonna lie. Part of me wants Hillary or Harris to come back and whoop a republicans butt. Don’t know if that’s wise, but I will say part of me wants that.

Do Democrats even bother to vet their candidates for sexual depravity in their past, or do they just wing it?
This has been an open question since the Graham Platner disaster, but at least the man who won the Maine Democratic senatorial nomination and then was forced to give it up after a rape allegation topped off a long, sordid, and documented history of perversion gave it up. Bobby Pulido is still running, and while he’s never been accused of rape, the Texas U.S. House candidate’s past is so deeply troubling that he should have bowed out long ago.
In the latest resurfaced problem for the congressional hopeful and Tejano music star, Pulido defended the artist behind a controversial 2016 music video in which the musician tortures, gropes, and then kills an unfaithful girlfriend.

Gary, Indiana, mayor says his city is "100%" being neglected because it's a predominantly black city after going 13 days without power.
The electric company, NIPSCO, says they were forced to pause work after their crew was shot at while they were helping restore power.
NIPSCO says their employees were scouting when someone started shooting at them. The marked NIPSCO Jeep was reportedly hit twice, with one bullet being lodged in the headrest.

Court Rulings: Rogue Woke Biden Judge Lifts Her Stay on Trump's Reasonable Order to Check Mail-In Ballot Addressees Against the Citizenship Rolls; Monica McIver Loses In Her Bid for Immunity When She Physically Assaults Federal Officers
The Supreme Court recently lifted the stay on Trump's executive order to the Post Office to check mail-in ballot names against a list of US citizens.
The rogue woke judge who initially issued that stay came up with a Brand New Reason to defy the Supreme Court: She said that because the Post Office had continued making plans for the eventuality that her order was reversed, they had defied her original, lawless and now reversed order, and so she ordered her stay back into effect, the Supreme Court be damned:Her initial stay was unlawful and wrongheaded, but she believes that the Post Office planning for the likely outcome of it being revered constituted "complete noncompliance" so she reinstates the stay the Supreme Court just lifted. As that guy says -- she must be impeached, and if the GOP wants its voters to bother voting for them, they must impeach her. The last time the Supreme Court overruled her, she said she would abide by their ruling, "reluctantly," while writing an order re-asserting all of the bullshit reasons she cited for issuing it in the first place. Now, once again reluctantly, she again removes the stay she seems absolutely demon-possessed to issue:

Leftist Judge Indira Talwani spits in the face of the Supreme Court and just ruled that Trump's U.S. Postal Service has hereby VIOLATED her block on the mail-in ballot security rules She's going off, aggressively accusing Trump's team of "complete noncompliance" This comes after SCOTUS UPHELD -- for now -- Trump's EO and rules to secure mail-in ballots...

@nicksortor 9m 🚨 BREAKING -- IT'S OFFICIAL: Activist Obama Judge Indira Talwani has reluctantly LIFTED her injunction that blocked President Trump's mail-in ballot restriction order from going into effect USPS can now ONLY mail ballots to LEGAL voters verified by DHS and SSA🔥 Thanks, SCOTUS!
From Crusader: The fat sack of racist-grievance crap Monica McIver attacked workers at the Newark DHS processing station, for which she was arrested. She claimed immunity under the Constitution's Speech and Debate Clause, which, as you might guess from the perfectly clear English words, immunizes Congressmen from lawsuit based on their speech in Congress. (And bad judicial rulings have extended this to speech made outside of Congress, too, so long as it's supposedly "in furtherance of their duties" as Congressman.) This High-Calorie, Low-IQ woman decided that she's also immune to criminal process for punching cops. A federal judge denied her motion to grant her Star Chamber powers to attack anyone she disagrees with.
Rep. LaMonica McIver is not immune from prosecution for her contact with ICE officials during a heated scrum at New Jersey's Delaney Hall detention facility, even though it occurred during a legislative investigation, a federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday. "The charged conduct ... is unambiguously non-legislative," 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Cindy Chung, a Biden appointee, wrote in a 2-1 opinion joined by Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee. McIver is facing three federal charges related to alleged assaults on ICE officials and interference with them during a May 2025 oversight visit to Delaney Hall. McIver and two other Democratic lawmakers were present when federal officials moved into a small crowd to arrest Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, who joined them on the oversight visit. The confrontation escalated and became physical, and McIver was ultimately charged with making physical contact with the officials. The 3rd Circuit ruling sustains the bulk of the criminal case against the Democratic lawmaker despite her protestation that the charges were brought for political purposes. McIver pointed to commentary by Trump, his allies and the former federal prosecutor who brought the case at the time: Alina Habba, a former Trump personal lawyer and current White House aide. McIver had argued that she could not be prosecuted because the Constitution's "speech or debate" clause grants lawmakers immunity for their legislative actions.Of course a Clinton appointee dissented, stating that while he would not necessarily throw the charges out, he would like to see if Trump's supposed "retaliation" against her grants her the immunity for punching cops she craves.
Fox News Politics
@foxnewspolitics 2h A Biden-appointed federal judge just sided with the Trump administration against a House Democrat accused of assaulting ICE officers -- rejecting her claim that slamming her forearm into a federal agent was protected legislative activity. Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., tried to get the case thrown out by arguing legislative immunity. The Third Circuit wasn't buying it. The 2-1 ruling found that physically striking federal officers is "unambiguously non-legislative" and "not integral to the legislative process." Two of her three counts survive. McIver fired back, calling the decision wrong and vowing she will "not fold to this administration." The charges stem from a chaotic May 2025 confrontation at Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, where Democratic officials showed up unannounced and the situation devolved into a physical standoff with ICE agents.

During a live interview on Fox News, Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed forcefully defended the beheading of infidels, explaining it was really the same thing as a haircut. "Have you had a haircut, Jesse?" retorted El-Sayed, upon being asked whether he supported cutting off people's heads with a machete. "Clearly you have no problem with people using sharp objects to cut off parts of your head. Yet, because of your bigotry, you want to deny infidels the opportunity to have their heads cut off with a machete.

It's a problem that cannot be resolved through typical means. Voting isn't going to fix it. Congress isn't going to fix it. The judiciary itself certainly won't. SCOTUS is neutered.
Bad things are coming. For the judges. They think they're immune.
Posted by: Martini Farmer at August 26, 2026 05:21 PM (2Cry5)
McIver had argued that she could not be prosecuted because the Constitution's "speech or debate" clause grants lawmakers immunity for their legislative actions.
If memory serves, that clause only applies to the floor of the House and Senate, which is why Hairy Reed got away with lying through his ass "It worked, didn't it?"
I'm rapidly coming to embrace the idea that these cocksuckers need a little taste of being Preston Brooks'ed. Failing that, some Taiwanese or Korean legislative brawling...

I think they believe it applies to running their piehole on the TV, when spewing invective on the "news" programming. Not too sure on whether that has been clarified in the courts or not, but it appears to be the case.

Impeachment is a waste of time. It takes 2/3 of the Senate to vote to remove her and I bet we wouldn't even get all the 'Republicans'.
Posted by: I used to have a different nic
I would not do impeachment directly but launch an impeachment inquiry which can be done at the committee level. The advantage is that it pierces the separation of powers doctrine and allows Congress to essentially go on a fishing expedition to collect information as to whether impeachment is warranted or not. So witnesses can be subpoened and forced to testify under oath (transactional immunity forces testimony without the 5th btw) about the back room dealings of these resistant judges like their finances, the calls from and ex parte meetings outside of court with interest groups, call logs, meeting agendas, etc. etc.
This is not random stochastic terrorism, these judges are picked in collusion with the clerk's office in these district courts and circuits in order to do what Eisen and his fellow lawfare types want them to do. Possibly even Eisen's group are writing orders, etc

Arguing that the SCOTUS order cleared an open path via amending the suits to complain of the newly-announced rule.
He seems to get some of these wrong, having too much deference to the process over the law.
Which being, if you recall, the original suit was an injunction against the USPS even drafting any rule.
SCOTUS said, "no standing, no harm yet."
Process focus says, "now there's a rule, now they can argue specific harm*."
Reality says, "what harm?"
Judge, showing her red ass, reluctantly agreed: What harm?
Until the rule goes into effect and until it is actually applied and until it actually harms someone--no standing.
* recall, the grievous and mortal harm alleged was that someone, somewhere, might think the rules means their vote isn't secret and could decide not to vote due to that worry.

What I recall is that "Congressional Delegation" including McIver showed up unannounced at the ICE facility, despite there being a procedure for such visits that includes notification in advance. They expected ICE to drop what they were doing and escort them around. And didn't group include some non-Congressional activists? It had every appearance of being an intentional confrontation staged as a publicity stunt.
The claims about the conditions inside sound like the actual conditions of the jailed Jan. 6 detainees. Unlike the Jan 6 people waiting over a year for a trial, the illegals can leave the facility any time by agreeing to go home.

It's called a chilling effect. The point is to make outlets afraid to talk about it. It's what fascism relies on.
She was there legally!! They want to imprison her for doing her job?? Is this why everyone in congress is so terrified?

During the '50's, I grew up in a neighborhood filled with those names. Mostly a Hungarian area with a few Slovak and Polish families. My mom and dad were 1st generation Americans, (Mom was Hungarian, Dad was Slovak) as were most of my friends' parents. And, yes, you had to have a sponsor AND some sort of employment lined up when the immigrants arrived. Those were a very proud people. They took whatever job they could to support themselves and their families. We had quite a few ethic churches in the area...Polish, Hungarian, Ukrainian, etc. Those are all mostly Hispanic now. And the food was wonderful.

To understand Roberts, you just need to know his ultimate goal is to maintain the power of the Courts themselves. He helped WRITE the rules these Judges use to create this Country Wide Injunctions... and he is supposed to be in charge of the Courts..
But if you look at virtually every decision he votes for, it perpetuates more and more power to the Courts.
Even the big win a few months ago that some Conservatives said was a yuge win... the one where a regulations rationale by a Fed Department would not be taken as writ... just gave the power to a Judge to decide.
2nd Amendment stuff? Rulings never actually take the choice away from Judges, because they are written very wishy washy.
Even the Abortion ruling... gave more leeway to more Judges to decide abortion issues, now at a State level.
It's all about the Power of the Court, which is why you will never see him reign in any of this crap

Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed Hoovers Up Donations from Members of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Hamas-Supporting Donors to Nazi Troll Dan Blizerian (While Claiming Jewish Safety Will be a Priority for Him)
Weird that his donors don't believe him.
What do they know that we don't? Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed collects donations from a terrorist member of the Muslim Brotherhood, a man so extreme Egypt sentenced him to life in prison:Another gift from Obama.
Egyptian sentenced to life for funding Muslim Brotherhood giving money to Abdul El-Sayed's U.S. Senate campaign
Mohamed Soltan was sentenced by an Egyptian court to life in prison in 2015 after spending two years behind bars alongside his father, Salah Soltan, a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood
An Egyptian American activist sentenced to life in prison in absentia by a Cairo court for his support of the Muslim Brotherhood is pumping cash into Abdul El-Sayed's campaign for U.S. Senate. Mohamed Soltan, the 38-year-old president of the American Committee for Middle East Rights, is funneling funds to El-Sayed's Abdul for U.S. Senate candidate committee as ACMER contributes to Fighting for Michigan PAC, the super PAC backing the former Wayne County health official. Soltan was sentenced by an Egyptian court to life in prison in 2015 after spending two years behind bars alongside his father, Salah Soltan, a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood who served as deputy minister of endowments for Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Mohamed Soltan faced charges for aiding protests against the military coup that ousted Morsi, including funding for and membership in the Muslim Brotherhood, before launching a hunger strike that convinced former President Barack Obama's administration to demand his release in 2015.
After arguing to the West that the Muslim Brotherhood would not be authoritarian like the Iranian regime, Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed signed a statement calling for a "purge" of the "media and police."
In April 2015, an Egyptian court senenced the then 27-year-old to life in prison following what Soltan described as an unjust trial, according to NBC News. He was released in May 2015 at Obama's request and returned to the U.S., where he works as an international investment advisor and human rights activist. Salah Soltan [his father, whom he worked with -- ace] was sentenced to death and life in prison in separate trials for inciting murder as one of more than 50 leading members of the Muslim Brotherhood who set up a "control room" to direct "violence and chaos" amid the 2013 military coup. Federal Election Commission reports show ACMER sent Fighting for Michigan PAC $25,000 on June 12, following two contributions from Mohamed Soltan to Abdul for U.S. Senate on April 15. The individual contribution constitutes the maximum permitted by federal election law. Other ACMER officials also contributed to El-Sayed's effort to become the first Muslim Senator in U.S. history. ... The donations follow a documented history of El-Sayed supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. In January 2011, El-Sayed penned a column for the Huffington Post titled "Why the U.S. Should Support the Protestors in Egypt," suggesting Americans should back the uprising that led to Muslim Brotherhood control and Morsi's presidency. ...
Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak resigned just weeks after El-Sayed's column, laying the groundwork for the Muslim Brotherhood and Morsi, who became president in June 2012.
... The statement called on Morsi to "purge the media and the police as soon as possible," and "strongly reject these voices that appeal to America and Europe to take a position against the Egyptian regime."
The donors to Dan Blizerian, an actual Nazi who claims to be a "conservative," is also a big fan of the Islamist. Gee I wonder what they might have in common?
Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed is now claiming that he doesn't support the Green New Deal. I guess it's not popular in Michigan. Although he's deleted many of his tweets and old YouTube rants, people saved many of them. Below, Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed states his emphatic ALL-CAPS support of the Green New Deal he says he doesn't support.
EXCLUSIVE: Multiple Abdul El-Sayed Donors Also Gave Thousands to Hitler-Praising, Jew-Hating Dan Bilzerian's Congressional Run
The far-left El-Sayed and right-wing, antisemitic troll Bilzerian have absolutely no political views in common except for a strong opposition to Israel
More than a dozen donors to the Hitler-praising, neo-Nazi congressional campaign of Dan Bilzerian have also contributed to Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed--in many cases spreading thousands of dollars between the two candidates, the Washington Free Beacon found. Bilzerian, a far-right social media influencer with a trust fund, and El-Sayed, a far-left epidemiologist, have no policy overlap except strong opposition to AIPAC and Israel, but their donors include a man who has equated Zionism to Nazism and a Texas subprime auto loan entrepreneur who also threw his weight behind Israel-bashing Republicans like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie. The overlapping donor list suggests that El-Sayed's virulently anti-Israel rhetoric appeals to the kind of Muslim-American donors who also buy into Bilzerian's hateful Jew-baiting and offensive trolling. The most significant Bilzerian and El-Sayed donor is Ibrahim Awad, who has given more than $19,500 between both candidates, Federal Election Commission records show. That haul included a $12,651.88 jumbo gift to the Bilzerian Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee. The figure is above the legal limit and potentially a campaign finance violation if passed along to Bilzerian's campaign committee. ...
"Zionism is Nazism. And history will remember every single person who calls themselves a 'Proud Zionist' as a Proud Racist, Genocide Enabler," Awad said in an X post from March 2025. ... None of these dual donors other than Awad responded to requests for comment. While Bilzerian's political career is over for now, El-Sayed is ascendant. The progressive will face Republican Mike Rogers in the November general election, with polls showing a tight race. Neither El-Sayed nor Bilzerian responded to requests for comment.

Is that a specific interview or just standard "journalistic" practice you're referring to?
I'd love to see an interviewer pin a subject down to the ground until they admit they don't know, they were wrong, or they were lying, but live interviewers always want to keep it moving and get to their questions. I think it would be better tv and more dramatic to get to the bottom of just one question no matter what.

Blizerian is a rich trust-fund baby who got his social media start with phony hyper-masculine screeds about women, cars, gambling, and being ultra-Chaddish.
Very obvious overcompensating. He's about as "right" as Nick Fuentes is. And probably sucked as many dicks.

Rep. LaMonica McIver is not immune from prosecution for her contact with ICE officials during a heated scrum at New Jersey’s Delaney Hall detention facility, even though it occurred during a legislative investigation, a federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday.
“The charged conduct … is unambiguously non-legislative,” 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Cindy Chung, a Biden appointee, wrote in a 2-1 opinion joined by Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee.
McIver is facing three federal charges related to alleged assaults on ICE officials and interference with them during a May 2025 oversight visit to Delaney Hall.

The Democrat party in Maine was trying to get their hands on it, but Platner refused to comment or respond to inquiries (even when asked directly).
I think Heir Platner is going to try and walk away with the spoils. And, apparently, the Dems in Maine are pissed.

Not likely to fly there. Just like Rep Jefferson's stashing cash in his official offices did not ultimately protect him from being charged with bribery. And bribery is a lot closer to 'legislative activity' than interfering with law enforcement.
Democrats used to actually have at least respectably good lawyers appointed as judges, DEI Democrats with its racial spoils approach to nominations has pretty much destroyed that.

Cooper looks like he's doing fine in NC, but NC polling in summer is notoriously bad. Cooper is polling like Cunningham did (actually a tad behind) in 2020 before Cunningham lost to Tillis.
And, I'm going to be honest, I haven't seen a single pro-Cooper thing yet. I've gotten a dozen mailers blaming him for crime. He left office with Helene a complete mess and him a complete no-show. Iryna's death is pinned on him.
And the party registrations of the state have gotten A LOT more Republican since he last ran in 2020. He won by 250,000 votes in 2020. There were 400,000 more Ds than Rs at the time. There are now 10,000 more Rs than Ds.
I think there's a better chance that Whatley wins by Trump 2024 margins in the state than just about anything else.

Technically, he can't just keep the money for purely personal use. But there are so many loopholes to the "rule" that he effectively can. There's a reason why so many dead-bang losers stay in races and keep running even though they have no chance. It's because they want to raise as much money as possible so they can keep it.

Don't give in to this discussion.
Why does every Democrat need to be grilled about their stances on a fucking Twitch streamer? Nobody’s asking every Republican about Asmongold.
El-Sayed campaigned with this fascist fuck for months. There is zero chance he can distance himself now. You campaign with a guy who calls jews inbreds, you reap the consequences. Political ads are going to hammer this to death. Get ready to see El-Sayed and Piker together constantly.

Major Jewish donors in Michigan threatened to fundraise for Rogers if El-Sayed won.
The Jewish donors did the fundraiser.
White working class voters won't turn out for El-Sayed. There was a clear racial preference for blacks against El-Sayed in the primary, so that turnout should be down, too.
Plus, Harmeet Dhillon has made it clear that she's prioritizing Michigan as a location to watch and place election monitors from the DOJ this November.

Hakeem and several other 'Democrats' distance themselves from Piker, but certainly not El-Sayed & several other communist clowns.

I've read the current antisemitism trend started with Portland's Antifa.
This sews that up nicely and the dots connected make sense. Root cause is Hamas.
Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at August 26, 2026 01:28 PM (hzuYO)
I think the root cause of American "Antifa" is European revcoms, who hate International Jewry (under the codenames "banksters" and "bougies") almost as much as Muslims do. So, while Italian communists of course take their own ideological progeny in Antifa as clients, they similarly find Iran-sponsored Hamas copacetic and simpatico to work with. But no one had to lead the Europeans to Jew-hatred; they were already there.

Maybe it would be a clever maneuver to sacrifice one senate seat and ALLOW Abdulrahman Hussein El-Sayed to WIN, so that in all future election (for at least the next six years) we can point to him as proof positive that the Democrat Party is the party of Islamic extremism, Jew-hate and communist insanity. He'll be attached to the Dems like a ball and chain around their ankle. We let him, win, and in so doing he'll be the last Dem ever elected to the Senate, with voters scared off the Dems forever.
If we can still keep the Senate 51-49 and allow this guy to be on their team, it could be the best thing that ever happened.

Midterm polling sucks generally as it becomes a lot more difficult to determine who will vote and who will not. Just like Michigan--will blacks vote for the Muzzies, white union members, etc. The GOP has less of a problem there as I think few white GOP males or females want a nasty critter like Sayed in the Senate.

In Leaked Court Transcript, Gay Furry Assassin Tyler Robinson's Lawyers Denounce Online "Conspiracy Theorists" and "Crazies" Pushing Insane Claims
He objects to some mention in the prosecution's motions about conspiracy theories. I guess the prosecution was drawing a negative inference about the defense, based on the insanity of Tyler Robinson's defenders. The Gay Furry Assassin's lawyers say "we're not talking to the crazies."
"There's a reference to, you know, unstable people coming to the courthouse, to conspiracy theorists saying things online. We're all aware of that. I mean, I don't know what the court has read. It's none of my business. I've received some wacky phone calls and emails, people telling me what they think happened here. It's noise. We're not litigating this case in the press. We're not talking to crazies," the transcript read.
🤣Tyler Robinson’s own defense attorney just publicly clapped the entire Candace Owens–Baron Coleman podcast industrial complex.

@JohnBoy6969696 Where does it say anything about Candace or Baron? When did they show up at the courthouse? The only crazies who showed up at the courthouse and who spread crazy conspiracies are TPUSA's propagandists who were invited to come by Erika. Those crazies were spreading lies about seeing video in HD 4k That was so clear you could see Tyler's face, see him taking the shot, etc., which were completely made up lies.

One scientist who was intimately involved said something that has stuck with me. He claimed that insanity is "contagious", not in the epidemiological sense, but through association. I don't think that's too controversial really. But he also maintained that once "caught", it is indeed heritable. The person making this claim was not what I would consider an honorable individual necessarily, but interesting just the same.
"It didn't work (so we only ran the program for over 20 years?) and we're really sorry, and we'll never do it again". Uh-huh.

And thousands of black people came out to protest his death in London. He wasn't some major celebrity. He was a nobody that got minor boosts from the BBC before he became international news because he was a serial fabulist.

I suspect it was funded astroturf ... which I suspect is also true of the Clancy supporters.
It's just that it's one thing to show up to support a black commie who killed himself. It's another to show up to support a stone-cold murderer who killed her three young kids and blame ... the husband.
At this point, any time I see any leftwing protest I assume it's organized and funded.

It's as good of a theory as hers!
I wish someone would put her in a straight jacket, force her to listen, and explain to her that the Furry confessed to his parents, threatened suicide, was taken to a family friend LEO. Who then took him to the police for the Miranda Act and to be booked.
He also, at the same time, in writing, confessed to his gay lover, both in text and on paper. Confessed to his Furry Group online. Used his grandfather's rifle.
Yet none of this is enough for Nostrils. It has to be a conspiracy.
Imagine, if you will, going through the Twilight Zone of life thinking this way. Paranoid. Probably vaginal pruritus
from going commando in her Furry Costume (I am guessing a lioness).

Kaufman was probably mentally ill.
Early George Carlin was very funny and ahead of his time. But he got bitter and angry the older he got, to the point where his comedy was pretty much just rants at boogeymen.

Crowder's livestream of the Candace/Wilson debate was fun; he fact checked in real time. Candace clutched her pearls about some of his comments and acted like she'd never ragged on Erika Kirk; he pulled up a clip of her mean girling Erika's outfits and saying her stylist clearly hates her.
This comment by the lawyers shows that Andrew Wilson clearly wins.

it was pretty expensive bait by Andrew Wilson to just keep feeding her rope rather than get directly after her there and then which he could clearly have done.

In Comedy, people have different tastes like they do in music. Andy was out there but so were Ernie Kovacs and Lenny Bruce, Peter Sellers, etc. Same for Norm MacDonald, Redd Foxx, Buddy Hackett, or Bill Cosby, Rowan Atkinson, Stephen Fry, etc.
In fact, that is partly why you see so few brilliant female comedians--you have to get way out of your and your audience's comfort zone to be fundamentally strange. And that appeals to some and doesn't appeal to others. And sometimes even that can change based on context and people surrounding you.
Same reason that some sitcoms use laugh tracks to cue you to laugh along.

There are some studies out there that indicate, at least in earthworms, etc., that trauma or bliss in one creature's memory can be heritable via being encoded in DNA.
And from that, along with some genealogical studies, they have found some families have a great deal of trauma over the generations. So they conclude at that a correlation exists but no one can actually point to how that mechanism in earthworms might be tested in humans.

We do not yet know the cause of death, but we do know that too many New Yorkers have died on Rikers Island. The Department of Correction and its oversight partners will investigate the circumstances surrounding his death.
Our administration is fully committed to the critical work of creating better conditions in our city’s jail system and closing Rikers Island as quickly as possible.

The nasty, dirty little secret is that parents killing their kids (filicide) is much more common that people think.
If I were to ask you how many kids are killed every year by their parents, what would your answer be?
Probably no more than a few, maybe a dozen, right?
The real answer is over 500 -- and that's probably underreported.

I also think this group of people want to feel like they are part of something important so they can tell others later they helped make history. The problem is they have zero discernment over what is important and what isn’t. Or what is batshizzle crazy, apparently.

Yea, and I think part of it is just they have boring, unfulfilling lives and are desperate to fill them with something. So they latch on to whatever is the current outrage, which not coincidentally is almost certainly gonna be the same thing all their similar-minded friends are outraged over.

We have deprecated life in this country and the West to the point Canada and Belgium are killing more people by euthansia than are being murdered in the streets. Several states, MA being the most recent, celebrate killing babies up to full term now. Some ethicists now claim that even children should be able to be killed. In essence, children are property just like in Dred Scott.

I don't care if she was on a ton of SSI's, etc. For starters she is a RN and could have figured out drug interactions.
She researched "ways to kill." Premeditation. Figured out how long her husband would be gone that day she killed them and jumped out the window.
I have no mercy to give someone who kills innocents.
As far as the insanity plea, she managed to fool others, which makes her a psychopath like Bundy or other serial killers who act normal and murder.
The neighbors and coworkers always comment that the serial killer seemed nice and was quiet.
Her mother and sister said she admitted to wanting to harm her children three months prior, and was acting paranoid. I have to wonder why those around her didn't do anything. Her brief psych rehab should have kept her after she checked herself in. However, psychopaths can certainly appear normal and are intelligent enough to fool professionals.
She needs to remain in prison for the rest of her life.

Viola Davis has slammed Target after the retail giant apologized for selling a racist Halloween costume
Target issued a public apology for the offensive children's costume on Monday, saying that they were 'deeply sorry' for the oversight and had removed the item.
Despite the apology, Davis, 61, slammed Target in a fiery post on the social media app Threads.
'Target, I do not accept your apology, and I do not believe that you understand the impact... the pain... the dehumanization of the above,' the EGOT winner wrote.
'These images laid the foundation and the ideology for every atrocity that has been committed against my people,' she continued.
'We MATTER! You have shown us that you are not on OUR side.'

O’Brien’s music is pretty much the only reason to watch the Rocky Horror “sequel”; and his music and Christopher Lee are about the only reason to watch The Return of Captain Invincible.
He was one of the actors in Dark City, and supposedly (according to the commentary track) he made up music for it just as a lark and would sing it on set while waiting. That would probably be amazing to hear.

So, here's the way it works... Tim Curry was English, but born in Egypt and has vaguely Semitic looks. He's an agent of Hamas, obviously, which he told me during one of his friend-dreams, where he can finally visit me like he never had the time for when he was alive. But he's a double agent.
I was shocked, but he's my friend, so I listened as he told me that he had just had a long conversation - eons long, for those of us still on earth - with Barack Obama.
And he said that they were the ones who killed Heath Ledger. They had to do it for the jihad, he said.
As soon as I heard that, I knew I had to tell everyone about the jihad plot.

Marco Rubio Sanctions Italy-Based Tech "Collective" Making Tools for Hamas; Also Reveals Portland Antifa Shops There Too
Dude's balls are so big he could play for the WNBA.
EXCLUSIVE: A State Department memo reveals that an international technology collective, now under a U.S. global terrorism designation, provided services to overseas terrorist groups and violent far-left agitators causing chaos in American cities, according to a copy obtained by Fox News Digital. "Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Today, the United States sanctioned Autistici/Inventati -- a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world." Autistici/Inventati, called the A/I Collective by the State Department, is an Italy-based group that builds highly sophisticated digital infrastructure used by violent left-wing organizations in the United States and Europe, along with Islamic terrorists, according to the State Department. The collective's services include encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming and anonymity shields, according to the memo. "These tools are specifically designed to support the operations of far-left terrorist networks, built to enable them to organize, recruit, communicate, disseminate propaganda, share target information and tactics, and carry out violent attacks -- all while remaining anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law," says the State Department's memo.
A/I Collective has officially been deemed a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. The designation bars Americans and U.S. financial institutions from doing business with the group and freezes any assets it has under U.S. jurisdiction. Violators can face civil or criminal penalties. The memo identifies Portland-based Rose City Antifa, known for its violent rioting and destruction, as one of the U.S. groups that relied on A/I Collective tools and services.
Rose City Antifa is listed in the memo alongside a media organization that the State Department says uses A/I Collective tools to disseminate information to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which is proliferating inside the United States, Hamas, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hezbollah and others. The memo also accuses the militant abortion-rights group "Jane's Revenge" -- which declared "open season" on pro-life organizations and threatened escalating attacks after the leaked Supreme Court draft signaling Roe v. Wade would be overturned -- of using the collective's services. The State Department memo says the collective provides its services exclusively to left-wing extremists, screening users for ideological alignment before allowing them access to its tools.

"To sanction" looks both ways (like "to table"):
1 give official permission or approval for (an action): only two treatments have been sanctioned by the Food and Drug Administration.
2 impose a sanction or penalty on: foreigners in France illegally should be sent home, their employers sanctioned and border controls tightened up.

I'm sure some of the GOPe/RINOs that still have clout in our state drop in here from time to time. Feel free to remind them just how completely INCOMPETENT, IMBECILIC, & IMPOTENT most of them are to run a state where ALL SEVENTY-SEVEN (77) COUNTIES went for Trump less than 2 years ago and yet all they could manage last night was a 50% pass rate on 2 state questions while fielding a Governor runoff between a Never-Trumper and a mess of a candidate that at times resembles Sleepy Joe despite being 15 years younger.
In short, Oklahoma's GOP officials SUCK, and should resign enmass.

Trump 2.0 is such a welcome and refreshing change of pace from Biden's four disastrous years.

The State Department offered no specific details on the training or its timeline. Officials said the initiative aims to help consular officers screen out applicants deemed likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits. It is also intended to ensure evaluation of visa applicants comprehensively and consistently.
"A more prosperous America means ensuring that visa applicants are not likely to become a public charge, as defined under U.S. law and regulation, and not likely to become dependent on U.S. public benefits reserved for qualified Americans in need," a State Department spokesperson said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.

The public charge element of immigration has been law for decades, actually more than a century.
It was reinforced in the 1996 immigration act.
But admin after admin has simply refused to enforce it.
Our problem was never the need for more laws. It has always been for an executive who would actually enforce the laws on the books.

I think Ossoff is still the way to go. A progressive from the south who can resonate with both liberal New England voters and more conservative southern voters. He could win in a landslide election if he ran
a Beshear-Ossoff ticket looks very similar to the Clinton-Gore ticket. A popular moderate governor from a southern state, the running mate is a liberal Senator from another southern state? Obviously a pipe-dream, because democratic primary voters will not elect a ticket that doesn't include an african-american or at least an Obama-alumni.
Sadly, it may still be a tough fight. A not-insignificant number of people think Democrats legitimately want to raise prices on things and make their kids gay as core policy positions.
Can we not choose the uninspiring middle of the road candidate for once? Please? Medicare for all who want it is not good enough. Drop the caveats and qualifiers. Give us Medicare for all.

The three were escorted from Secret Service headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Monday and formally designated “do not admit,” meaning they are barred from entering agency facilities, two sources told RealClearPolitics, which first reported on the suspensions. One of those sources said both the FBI and CIA are participating in the inquiry, pointing to a probe with more weight than a routine internal personnel matter.
All three employees are based in the communications office.

Hunter Biden is being sued by the college girl he hired to create the art he claims as his own.
According to court filings, Biden contracted with University of Delaware Art Student Josephine Barron for a dozen pieces, paying 20 percent each time he sold one.
Biden sold the first four pieces for more than $300,000 each and stiffed the artist.
She's asking for the $240,000 he owes her in commission plus $10 million in punitive damages.

The Italian Democrat Party went from major player in Italian politics in the 2000s to essentially a rump party today (they're second biggest, but first and third are right-leaning and coalition together in the Parliament government).
The downfall has coincided with their embrace of open borders.

They, generally, have supported secure borders recently. They love Obama's fake stats as "deporter in chief", and use it to say it can be done more effectively, and with more compassion, than Trump's ICE roundups. It doesn't work, though, because enough voters lived through the Obama years and know it's BS.
The Tea Party was just fed up Republicans trying to get the party to actually enact policy the party was supposed to support. The current Dem issue are multiple factions that hate America and capitalism, know the Dem party can assist in destroying them, but the core of the party doesn't support those things.

I have to say that I was always skeptical of Hunter's "art." I can't imagine he has a single creative bone in his body. He isn't all that bright, but he thinks he is, so he is the perfect democrat, but that doesn't bode well for artistic creativity.
And the "art" he produced took a certain amount of color theory and composition, something I think was always beyond him.
Now to find out he faked them.... It is to laugh.

=====
There are only two plausible paths to a not-Kamala.
The first is Kamala simply deciding to not run. This is the hope that most white progressives have. That she'll be too embarrassed or tied to tradition to run again despite her constantly signalling since November of 2024 that she was going to run again.
The second is a billionaire who can spend to break media strangleholds on his message and says things that the establishment won't allowed to be said. Things like "open borders was a bad idea, and Biden was a bad president" or "the racialization of our party by Obama was the greatest blunder in modern politics" who then promises "Medicare for All, but only Americans."
I can't imagine anyone who would fit the second.

60.
60 years. Three generations.
Trump is the first president since the passage of the 60s immigration act to actually try to close the border meaningfully, and he's doing it after 60 total years of effective open borders and 4 years of mass importation.
But he didn't fix everything in 3 weeks, so nothing is happening. Gotta vote for the party still advocating for open borders to teach the GOP a lesson. Remember, the people abandoning the GOP in 2006 because of the amnesty effort led to the GOP going hardline immigration right afterward, right?

I'm not going to suggest that FedEx or UPS are not without issues. But there is a reason the Post Office doesn't get a lucrative delivery contract for Frozen Steaks.
They do manage to deliver live Chicks (no jokes, pliz) and bait for fishing shops. But it's a close run thing.
You simply have to have people with a sense of urgency and dedication and attention to detail and all that stuff. Not some POS who tries to do as little as possible and is basically unfirable unless they kill somebody, and even then I'm not too sure. Then they go into Management, because they couldn't hack it out on the street. Nice, huh?

Then Biden adds $47 Billion to the pot while simultaneously removing what little oversight obligation there were. THEN, state politicians fight tooth an nail to keep federal auditors from reviewing the appropriations....while millions, potentially billions are leaving the US via international air travel....A large portion of which likely returns into ;the ActBlue process to distribute as under threshold grass roots donations by unknowing contributors.
Yes, USAID funded some of this stuff...but I think it might have been a drop in the bucket to what I described above.

Goose Donuts, by contrast, remains more of a mythical rival—perhaps imagining fluffier yeast rings, honking good glazes, and a slightly more grounded (or waterfowl-proud) vibe. While Duck delivers instant gratification and playful rubber-duck branding, Goose might lean into richer textures and a quieter flock appeal.
In the end, Duck currently owns the real-world pond with over a hundred locations. Goose stays the underdog in imagination. Either way, both sound delicious—just watch for feathers in your frosting.

She’s been living in her donut world
I bet she’s never had a plain-cake guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I’m gonna try for a Ducktown girl
She’s been living in her glaze-and-swirl
As long as anyone with sweet tooth can
And now she’s looking for a sprinkle man
That’s what I am
And when she knows
What she wants from her sugar dough
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind
She’ll see I’m not so tough
Just a little soft in the middle
And all she has to do is call
And I’ll be right there by her side
A rubber-duckin’ ride
Ducktown girl

I'm not even a black hat hacker, but I could spin up something like this pretty quickly using freely available open source software and third-tier hosting providers. The tech is easy, the hard part is opsec - short of using stolen credit cards or Bitcoin to pay for the hosting, there's going to be a trail leading back to you. Alternately you set up a bunch of small physical data centers where all traffic is encrypted in transit and at rest, and do it in a country where neither the ISP nor the government cares that all your in/out traffic is encrypted.

Abdulrahman El-Sayed Defends His Support for Surgical Mutilations of Children By Asking Jesse Watters, "Are You Circumcised?"
I missed this horrorshow yesterday.
Woke 1.0 was Socialist Radical Islamism. Woke 2.0 is Socialist Radical Gay Islamism. NY Post:
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed got extremely personal with Fox News host Jesse Watters on Monday -- asking if he is circumcised -- during a bizarre defense of sex change surgery for minors. "Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?" El-Sayed bluntly asked the "Jesse Watters Primetime" host, after arguing that the government shouldn't get involved in transgender medical procedures for children. Watters was floored by the question. "Jesse, are you?" El-Sayed pressed. "Yeah, yeah, but I mean, that's a personal question -- doctor," Watters responded. El-Sayed, seemingly convinced that he ended the debate with Watters, suggested: "You probably should want to move on." "Circumcision is different than castration!" Watters fired back. Undeterred, El-Sayed argued that it's a "problem" that Watters believes the government should step in to outlaw sex change surgeries for minors but not circumcisions. "I'm just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid's ding-a-ling," the former public health official told Watters. "So if you really want to bring that up, you can ... I just think you guys are really selective about these things." Watters described El-Sayed's position as "wacky" and "sick." "Abdul, Michigan's not going for that. That is sick stuff," he said. The Fox host followed up by asking El-Sayed if he was in favor of "boys playing in girls' sports," which irritated the Senate hopeful. "You have not asked me one time about the issues that people actually care about in Michigan," he said. "You can play this game if you want," El-Sayed fumed. "I just want to understand what you're getting at here." "I'm getting at whether you think men should play in women's sports ... it's a big issue," Watters asked again. El-Sayed dodged the question, arguing: "At the end of the day, the decision of who gets to play what sports ought to be decided by the people who govern sports." He then called it "insane" that Watters would pose him such a question. "I'm running for US Senate," he said. "Jesse, this is insane." Earlier in the interview, El-Sayed refused to say how much his proposal to socialize the healthcare system would cost; would not answer a question about the size of the US budget; and declined to explain why he allegedly suggested the "NFL was racist."Abdulrahman also stuck to his call to abolish ICE. His new hustle, to reassure less radical gay Islamists, is that INS would handle deportations, but obviously he wants to abolish ICE to stop all deportations so no, INS would not be allowed to continue ICE's deportations.
First, INS no longer exists. It was combined with US Customs and became ICE. ICE does everything INS used to do, except with an actual budget Posted by: UGAdawgDoes the Radical Gay Islamist Abudlrahman even hear himself? The NY Post's editorial board says he's so deep in the "weird zone" he has no idea he's weird at all.
El-Sayed and his advisers thought they'd come up with a great way to answer questions about surgically removing children's private parts: Explain that it's just like circumcision. Seriously: Fox News host Jesse Watters brought up outlawing sex-change surgery for kids, and El-Sayed replied, "Are you circumcised?" He then airily advised, "You probably should want to move on," proceeding to declare that anyone refusing to see that both are simply "surgery on a kid's ding-a-ling" is just being "really selective about these things." Nobody not totally blinded by ideology would equate circumcision, a procedure recommended by most medical professionals because of its health benefits, with removal of male sexual organs -- a procedure utterly lacking any medical justification. (The supposed scientific support for treating juvenile gender dysphoria with transitions was purely an insider con game.) Yet El-Sayed is so deep in the weird zone that he thinks this is a winning argument: Nobody should trust his judgment on anything. Of course, the health policy he most wants to talk about is also divorced from reality: His campaign centers on pushing Medicare for All -- a scheme to impose the socialized medicine disasters of Britain and Canada on the United States, which would not only kick everyone off their current insurance but also require roughly doubling US taxation. A sane party would run screaming from a candidate like this. Especially, of course, since (as the bizarre take on circumcision suggests) he also brings antisemitism to the table. El-Sayed's hatred of Jews has been blatant all campaign long, including his comment on the attempted mass murder of Jewish kids in his own state: "Hurt people hurt people" -- rationalizing the Lebanese perp's attempted atrocity by waving at Israeli fighting in Lebanon. Plus his refusal to disavow his regular campaign surrogate, streamer Hasan Piker -- even after Piker just threatened American Jews that if they support Israel "someone will come around and take action" against them. El-Sayed only issued a statement saying he disagrees with that comment, and didn't even name Piker.The Radical Gay Islamist Abdulrahman's dodge is to constantly say, "Why aren't we talking about gas prices?" Well, Radical Gay Islamist Abdulrahman, the left spent all of Biden's term pushing transgenderism and forcing schools to trans children behind their parents' backs. Why did you focus on this instead of talking about "gas prices" under Biden? The left is constantly pulling this "Why is this so important to you?!" hustle. They burn down all social norms in order to implement their bizarre, degenerate sexual gnostic view of the world. The subordinate all notions of governance and democratic consent to force these lunatic ideas on the public. But then, when the public is finally alarmed enough to begin to push back against the insane changes the left is foisting on them, they say the same thing every single time: "What's the big deal? Why is this so important to you? Why are you so obsessed by our decade-long obsession with transing your children? What are you, a weirdo for focusing on these issues which we are insisting on but which we would like to win without a single word of dissent?"
Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed asks Fox News host Jesse Watters if he is circumcised on live TV.

If I remember correctly, Iran is held up as a great trans-paradise because the government will pay for all trans-surgeries.
Because there's no such thing as a gay man. So they cut off the dicks of men who call themselves gay, turning them into women.

From now on, it should become a meme that, whenever you want to change the subject, ask if the other person is circumcised.
"Excuse me sir, I think you just shoplifted a bottle of vodka."
"Are you circumcised?"
or
"It says here on your resume that you graduated from Harvard, but when we called them, they have no record of you."
"Are you circumcised?"

Too bad there aren't any sharp media types. Watters response here was pathetically weak.
This "doctor" should have been keelhauled in detail about his understanding of medicine, that he apparently thinks a routine procedure is the same as a "sex change" mutilation.
Of course eviscerating the idiot "doctor" on the typical vapid Dem slogans of things for "working people" would far beyond Watters' ability. Whatever, presumably the useless Rogers will win easily.

Don't forget the tens of millions of blacks the Muslims took from Africa. They tended to be castrated on the way back to Saudi Arabia so that they would never father children among the Arab population. It was a not a gentle procedure and many of them died from it.

I'm guessing celebrities die in the exact same distribution of calendar days as anyone wealthy enough to be protected from the elements, excluding days on or directly after major industry events where lots of drugs are passed around.
But every so often, some real, honest-to-G-d celebrity that a broad cross section of society knows and loves - like Dolly Parton, for instance - passes away. The media frenzy surrounding these events creates a public fixation on the dead celebrity, and the media sharks smell it and start circling a couple other dying celebrities to write obituaries about.

I don't think so. Male circumcision came from Jewish law. Something similar to the Kosher requirements.

What is the point of going on Fox News as a democratic candidate? 98% of their viewers will never vote for a democrat, and they’re constantly trying to goad you into saying something that they can clip and use against you
It's to signal to the Democratic base that he's a fighter who is willing to go into enemy territory and stake out his claims. It's what the Democrat base is baying for.
Good. Democratic candidates and politicians need to start treating all of these "woke", "transgender" and other conservative talking points with both contempt and sarcastic humour.
Who the fuck cares what other people do to themselves. If it’s not dangerous or impinging on my rights it’s none of my fucking business. Fox News is all straw man arguments and asking the most loaded questions ever.

Thats the thing, there is no arguing with these people. There is only the question of who benefits from how the open war part is timed, and from who kicks it off.
Islam is by self-definition acting in bad faith at all times. So is progressivism - in 1917 they fully transitioned to "we are right and everyone else dies, as soon as we can arrange it". All leftist talk is a placeholder while they maneuver to kill us.

He was ready with that "are you circumcised" argument. He thunk and he thunk and he thunk, and that was the best he came up with. He was very proud of it.
Gay Penis-Obsessed Muslim thought it was a great response. He seemed shocked when Watters had an easy answer to it.
Also: there's a lot of resistance to routine circumcision today. I strongly suspect it's more Jew hate, but there's a pretty vocal opposition to circumcision even among men who have had it.

I expect we'll soon start to see opportunistic, power-hungry white, black, and Hispanic political quislings converting to Islam. Attempting to ride the wave of the Left's increasing love for anti-Semitism and the Religion of Peace. Getting on-board early in expectation of getting positions at the top of the pyramid. (They will not make it; they will be purged as non-True Believers if the Musselmen do take power here.)
This fad needs to be stamped-out now. Establishment Democrats won't do it, though. Islam is slowly becoming the largest threat to making the Constitution a suicide pact, using its non-discrimination tools.

That is the current preferred leftist "debating" tactic.

So I can't figure it out. There are two possibilities:
1, he's an enthusiastic partner in the Red-Green alliance and knows he has to really push the gay shit in exchange for the gays pushing the Jihadist shit.
or
2, he just gayballs.
It could be both.

You can push the gay shit for political purposes without being so enthusiastic about it that you do a whole video dancing like a twinkle-toes twink bacha bazi.
He's gayballz. It's still a big stigma in the Muslim community to be openly gay. In many of their countries, it's punishable by death.
So a lot of gay Muslims hide it. I very strongly suspect that El-Sayed, Hasan Piker, and Bombdaddy are all secretly gay. They look it, act like it, and all have very unconvincing fake wives or girlfriends. Just like Talacreepo and Spartacus Booker.

I think it's sort of a bad example though. Noticing that other people own the Roomba once you get one is a bit different than noticing the violent hijinks of a notorious Communist gang that's connected to a bunch of other Communist gangs, and cross-trained with a bunch of other Islamic gangs during a short period of time when all of these gangs are bombing industrial plant, hijacking airplanes and kidnapping political figures.
It's a bit more unusual and attention-grabbing than, say, a gray Mistibushi like the one you just bought.

The generic ballot keeps looking like it's going to be somewhere around D+3.
With the 2020 redraws and the redistricting wars earlier this year, Democrats probably need about a D+5 to win the House.
In 2018, The generic ballot was D+9. The GOP still won a net positive of 2 Senate seats.
Because Senate races drive turnout up to presidential levels in the states that have them and they're far less likely to experience turnout differential effects (not even Obama's team could reverse this in 2010 or 2014, and they were political geniuses, remember?).
This is why worrying about Texas is silly. MI is nominally a swing state, and the DOJ Civil Rights division has already announced poll watchers in key places for election day. Trump won the last statewide federal race, and the Senate GOP candidate barely lost. And now DOJ is looking at things.
Should be interesting. I'm not predicting a Rogers win, but...when major Jewish Michigan donors flip and fundraise for the Republican, something is happening.

RCP does not poll, what they do is average them and that average is affected by outlier polls which is why the Democrats do them. Every single media derived 'fact' is contaminated by purposeful deceit on behalf of Democrats. See Patrick Ruffini's work above.
And no, there is no political science evidence that shows the consistent move to teh GOP by election day that is not the result of contaminated outlier polling.
Has to do with de-trending data which I and some coauthors did on agenda setting project way back. Data errors should be random, not in one direction, if they are in a consistent direction, then the model is 'biased'. You can overcome it and get decent information from bias but that requires taking it into account in the first place.

Well, when all the polls suddenly "tighten" and move right after September, it'll be treated as a normal effect of people paying attention to politics all of a sudden, that if the election had been held in June that things would have been different.
Almost like summer polling is bullshit on its face if you have the assumption that not enough people are paying attention to politics.
My assumption is that no one gauges polling firms for how accurate their summer polls are, and even some of the polling firms (looking at you, Reuters) who tank their final polls year after year get treated with legitimacy. Because the entire industry is run by grifters and activists.

Unlike Islam, Christianity has been studied by actual scholars and historians for nearly two millennia now. The Bible is perhaps the most amazing compilation of written documents in all of world history.
Under Islam, an oral history was codified into a single document and anyone who challenged its authenticity was told to shut up or they were killed. No actual scholarship was allowed.

Black turnout should be down (there seems to be an observable pattern that they don't like the DSA direction in election results, like in NYC mayoral results). Rural white Democrats won't turn out for El-Sayed.
And the common refrain over the past few months in polling vs. end results is a massive miscalculation of the white vote.
Essentially, they're massively oversampling white, educated progressives and undersampling white rurals. Happened in WI and MI both.
And if you want to believe the TX polls, you have to believe that Talarico is going to lose whites by about 15 points when the average loss in the demo for Ds in the state recently is about 40.
The polls this year are...really fucked.

A good friend and co worker was brought in to create a new university poll. He had previously been polling supervisor for the Roper poll in CT. By 2000, AAPOR already knew that polling was essentially becoming broken--the old Random Digit Dialing now produced out of area code respondents (cell phones), response rates kept dropping as telemarketing, junk, and scam calls escalated, and socially acceptable answers made answers suspect from the people they did manage to reach.
State polling was the first to become very unreliable because it becomes very difficult and expensive to actually oversample minorities and keep non response bias to a minimum. National polls are still a bit more reliable than state polling. But the polling community professionals knew the problem was coming even back during Gore v. Bush.

a few years ago there was some article here about strippers, with one quoted named Velveeta.
Now, I'd say that's a cheesy name, but I don't count Velveeta as cheese...

Non-believers are supposed to be offered the option to "revert" to Islam before you chop their heads off. (They believe everyone is born Muslim.)

I still think most of them are AI-generated models rather than actual data from voters.

Some probably are.
Just random crap, generously assuming they're modeled on PVI and assumptions about turnout without any actual interviews with voters.
There are a handful of pollsters that do try, but they're labeled "Republican leaning" and dismissed by people even on our side like Trafalgar or Quantus.. But, trying isn't always succeeding, and they also get things wrong.
And yet, in it all, there remains the reality that if you put out bullshit that isn't an actual poll and say "48/48", you'll mostly likely be inside a reasonable margin of error like you had done something right in most contentious races.

Back when feminists weren't yet formal allies of Islam, conservatives could make women blush and feel a bit ashamed by bringing up that little blessing of liberty when they were cheerleadering for dusky desert interlopers.
Muslims would always shriek that it's no different than male circumcision and we're hypocrites, and hypocrisy is really the worst thing, more than FGM.

That was WAY more important, and WAY closer than it should have been.
I'm sure some of the GOPe/RINOs that still have clout in our state drop in here from time to time. Feel free to remind them just how completely INCOMPETENT, IMBECILIC, & IMPOTENT most of them are to run a state where ALL SEVENTY-SEVEN (77) COUNTIES went for Trump less than 2 years ago and yet all they could manage was a 50% pass rate on 2 state questions while fielding Governor runoff between a Never-Trumper and a mess of a candidate that at times resembles Sleepy Joe despite being 15 years younger.
In short, Oklahoma's GOP officials SUCK, and should resign enmass.
