The Morning Report — 12/5/25

Good morning kids. The big story that broke yesterday was the arrest of a suspect in the placing of pipe bombs at RNC headquarters on 1/6/21. The whole thing would be a Roman farce were we not dealing with a stolen national election and then the attempt to squelch any and all efforts to legally, non-violently protest the certification of that election and then the attempts by the thieves to use it as a pretext to persecute the victims, that is Donald Trump and the American people in the ensuing years.

As some have said, and as time has gone by I have come to agree with them, that Donald Trump and the American people being swindled (and that is way too mild a term) in 2020 in the long term hight have a salutary effect on the body politic political discourse and the trajectory of our society and nation going forward. Certainly the RE-re-election of Trump in 2024 and his subsequent policy successes, and concomitant exposure of the Democrat-Left's insanity in both their policy positions and knee-jerk reflexive Trump Derangement as well as open acts of brazen political terrorism since then will go a long way in putting the American republic back on track. Of course the growing embrace and promotion of Socialism by both the Democrat establishment and most alarmingly larger and larger segments of the population, especially the younger generations, flies in the face of all that.

With the arrest, more than four years after the fact, And by none other than an FBI under the Aegis of the man who supposedly fomented a riot in Washington DC that was more violent than the Civil War, Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined, the Democrat Left is already losing its collective mind, what there is of it, over this arrest. Right off the bat, despite the fact that the suspect looks like the DNA of Eddie Murphy's Bowfinger, Todd Bridges and Barack Obama got co-mingled in Bette Midler's gay bath house hot tub and the result was an ectogenetically created Democrat terrorist or FBI stooge hired by Pelosi and Comey as part of their J-6 Reichstag Weenie-Roast "Trump Insurrection" plot. And yet Fake Tapper called him white. As a bonus his alleged parents are big time Democrat donors. Oopsie! (somewhere in hell Josef Goebbels and Baghdad Bob must be laughing their ass off at this stooge)


The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday in connection with the J6 pipe bombing incident is a huge story. But make no mistake, this story is about to be memory-holed by the mainstream media… and fast. . . “Today's arrest happened because the Trump Administration has made this case a priority. The total lack of movement on this case in our nation's capital undermined the public trust of our enforcement agencies,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday. “This cold case languished for four years until Director Patel and Deputy Director Bongino came to the FBI. The FBI, along with US Attorney Pirro and all of our prosecutors, have worked tirelessly for months sifting through evidence that had been sitting at the FBI with the Biden Junta for four long years.

That storyline is a nightmare for Democrats. For years, the Biden team presided over a Justice Department that had endless resources to track down grandmas in MAGA hats using cell phone data, yet somehow could not close in on the one figure whose actions were used to paint January 6 as an organized terror plot. It’s almost as if they figured out who it was and deliberately chose not to pursue him. But, here’s the big reason that this case will be memory-holed faster than you can say 1984: Brian Cole is black and a leftist. . . Cole did not just happen to lean left. He worked for a bail bond operation run by his father that specialized in freeing illegal immigrants from ICE facilities and even sued Trump’s Department of Homeland Security over immigration policy. Weeks before he allegedly planted the pipe bombs, a court ruled against the family’s company in that lawsuit targeting the Trump administration. . .Later in 2021, Cole’s father appeared at a press event with left-wing attorney Benjamin Crump, angrily criticizing anti-black racism and urging the Biden Justice Department to investigate a Tennessee prosecutor who had expressed concerns about bail bonding practices. They portrayed themselves as victims of systemic bias while also working to weaken enforcement against illegal immigrants, using all the usual leftist buzzwords. This is the environment the alleged bomber emerged from—and the media really wished you never knew that, and will do everything they can to make this story go away.

Funny, just as the Biden-imported Afghan terrorist shooter story as well as the Tim Walz Somali immigrant community billion dollar-plus fraud story is breaking as well as the ongoing illegal alien crime wave as well as the ongoing indigenous American inner city crime wave at the behest and intentional malfeasance of primarily Soros-backed pro crime DAs and politicians continues to decimate and terrorize the citizenry, ironically enough of blue cities and states and Democrat constituencies.

Whatever one thinks about the legitimacy of the 2020 election, the events of 1/6/21 in and around the Capitol were completely staged and or distorted by the Democrats with the aiding and abetting of local law enforcement and elements, including top leadership of our national intelligence and law enforcement agencies. We know for a fact that there were numerous, perhaps at least a couple of dozen FBI plants among the "violent protesters" that roamed the halls of the Capitol as Congress was convening to vote on the Electoral College results. And lest we forget that none of them forced their way in, but were allowed into the building by Capitol PD and in most instances were even escorted around the building by them. There was no rioting or violent except for the brutal murder of two unarmed women, Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland by the hands of Capitol PD officers, Michael Byrd gunning down Babbitt in cold blood, and others as yet to the best of my knowledge unidentified who beat and stomped Boyland to death.

And all this was used by Malig-Nancy Pelosi who as Speaker of the House had direct control over the Capitol PD and who prior to 1/6 refused President Trump's request to reinforce them iwht National Guard troops to prevent the violence that she fomented while now shedding crocodile tears over.


Elsewhere, there are a couple of other things happening that I think are worthy of mention that breaking events such as the aforementioned are overtaking. The other day President Trump and the Lee Zeldin directed EPA ditched Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants disastrous luddite CAFE standards

As the White House correctly put it, “The Biden standards would have compelled widespread shifts to EVs that American consumers did not ask for, accompanied by significant cost-of-living increases. Since EVs are so expensive to build, automakers must sell them at a loss and make up the difference by significantly raising the sticker price of gas cars.”

As a refresher, the CAFE standards came into being during the 1970s energy crisis – a crisis itself caused by inept government regulations. The standards require the fleet of cars sold by a manufacturer to meet government-dictated average fuel-economy targets, or face hefty annual fines. . .

. . . From the beginning, these standards were a disaster, forcing automakers to radically downsize their fleet, which research showed cost thousands of lives because, all things being equal, smaller, lighter cars are less safe than larger ones.
They also resulted in cars being stripped of anything that added weight – including spare tires –dreary designs that only a socialist could love, and stuffed with hated features such as the “start-stop” system.
But the administration’s move, while welcome, isn’t as big a deal as it might seem. After all, the best solution would be to jettison CAFE standards entirely, not ratchet them up more slowly. The justification for these standards – an energy crisis – is long gone, and the government simply has no business dictating what kind of cars, or how many of each kind, automakers must sell.

BINGO that last sentence. It's all about the freedom to choose. Beyond the insanity of EVs, the enviro commies were making war on SUV's for the same bullshit reasons of saving the planet because fossil fuels were evil. Forgetting all that, what the communists want is to take away your freedom of movement period, regardless of what kind of vehicle you may or may not be allowed to drive, or what they will or will not allow to be manufactured. Freedom of movement as where and when you want is freedom of choice.

Bravo President Trump. Of course should God-Forbid another Democrat let alone possibly a hardcore Maoist ever assume power again, all this could and likely will go away and once again
again we'd be subject to the whims of DIck Nixon's worst crime — creating the EPA.

Funny I seem to remember way back when when Obama crowed that Bin Laden is dead and that GM is alive. But in order to supposedly resuscitate GM he committed an act of robbery so brazen as to beggar the imagination: Robbing GM's stockholders!
Correction, per commenter r hennigantx, he robbed the first-in-line bondholders!! Meh, he did it to bail out the UAW right before the 2012 election.

On that note, we had this story that broke the other day which although has a happy ending, falls way short in what the Left crows about "restorative Justice!" And I use that term sarcastically, but justice is still a long way off:

The Obama administration introduced many Americans to the character of his Chicago-style politics -- cronyism, favoritism, and corruption.

And though there's been a political change of course, the awful consequences of that for some workers linger.
One of them is elderly Vietnam War veteran Ed Bambas, who's now 88, working at the Meijer grocery chain in Brighton, Michigan, trying to get by without a pension, having lost his in Barack Obama's multi-billion-dollar GM and Chrysler bailouts, which were all about favoritism for union members at the expense of everyone else.

He was recently seen on social media answering questions from an 'influencer' about his dire condition -- a very old man forced to work retail without any retirement benefits despite years of work for Delphi, a GM-affiliated company that went down in the automobile-industry meltdown around the start of Obama's first term.
He got his pension pulled as the taxpayers shelled out $80 billion for GM and Chrysler. He also lost medical coverage and most of his life insurance, at a time when his wife was in the hospital. He sold his house to pay her medical bills and was left with nothing.

He may be in for a happier ending, now that the influencer, Samuel Weidenhofer, has raised a $1.5 million pension for him, from small-dollar donations, mostly little guys who see this problem resonating. (Bill Ackman, who may be the well-regarded hedge fund manager, is listed as the top donor at $10,000.) . . .
. . . It's good for him, given that he had an unusual run of cruelly bad luck. . . But the obvious question is how many more out there are like him?
Based on what I found, there were about 20,000 of them, and treated just as badly as Bambas was.
In a stunning example of favoritism, the United Auto Workers union members got their pensions topped up to the max by the taxpayers based on the Obama administration's illegal interference  -- and anyone who wasn't in the union, such as the workers at Delphi, got stiffed, despite all of them working for the same automobile behemoth.

And of course, the Left is gunning for Hegseth because he's effective as a military leader, restoring sanity to our military, the last bastion of Americanism that the Left has tried to tear down, and declare him a war criminal in order to protect their Communist drug running allies in central and South America. If Hegseth can weather these storms and continue to succeed in helping smash Narco and perhaps Islamo-terrorists while restoring pride in our military as the massive gains in recruitment have indicated, then he burnishes his credentials as a potential GOP presidential candidate if not in 2028 then perhaps '32 or '36! We should live so long (and see it happen!)

Have a great weekend.

8 So the Dems have moved on from embarrassing themselves over Epstein to defending the right of narco-terrorists to run drugs.

Somehow they think impeaching Hegseth will 1) go anywhere and 2) win the public to the side of ... narco-terrorists?

But remember, these are all the same people that were 100% sure that, once the public heard the evidence, that "8 times Trump asked Ukraine to manufacture evidence on Biden" ...
And then, once the public saw their truth about J6 ...
And then, once the public saw Trump convicted of felonies ....

So, you know, impeccable track record of success.

He is due benefits and hopefully someone has got him on the track to receive those. I couldn’t tell, but he looked like one of the guys that works at the self check out, helping people having difficulty with the registers which means he stands for most of his shift.

40 Yes, I remember Delphi, where the feds demanded that 150 years of law must be broken, so that bond holders were stripped of their rights so that the union could be made whole.

Of course, that was the same administration that decided that the banking system must be bailed out and be made whole so that the management teams got their bonuses, while hundreds of thousands of people lost their houses, because somebody had to be punished for eliminating lending standards.

But given the details we now have on the perp’s background I guess it checks out and actually passes the sniff test.

Yep… watch the media ignore the story now

52 OMG, according to unname aides Trump said that he is "really good at killing people." Impeach now!!

Oh wait, not Trump:
A new book on the 2012 presidential campaign claims that President Barack Obama told aides that he is "really good at killing people."

According to Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, the authors of Double Down: Game Change 2012, Obama made the comment while discussing drone strikes last year. CNN's Peter Hamby noted the anecdote in his review of the book for the Washington Post. . .

The quote comes in the context of both the drone program and the killing of Osama bin Laden by a special forces strike force. The passage also specifically references the death of another al Qaeda leader, Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by a CIA drone strike in Yemen on Sept. 30, 2011.

65 The last line of the concurrence in the TX order yesterday is one of the more brutal lines I've seen.

Basically, "just because you kids put a whole lot of time and effort into smearing shit on the walls, doesn't mean we have to call it good."

LOL, you can tell those three are getting real tired of the stupid shit from the Left Bloc.

The most laughably dishonest line from the dissent was where they were all going on about how they need to follow the rule that defers to the trial court and then drops this turd, "I would have the same position if the district court would have decided the other way."

Ain't a snowball's chance in hell you would have upheld the trial court if it ruled that the maps were not racist, you lying bitch.

Worked for a software company for many years that created boring invoice auditing programs. Creating unique record keys in tables within the database to prevent duplicate records is a basic, maybe the most basic, thing when creating a data model. I'm not a coder, but even I know this.

Yes, this was intentional. Just Obama's campaign team disabling the fields of their online donations page that would have prevented foreign donations.

Tech News

  • Finding that random person in Nebraska. (Stacktower)

    XKCD comic 2347 highlighted a key weakness of modern computer systems: Everything depends on "a project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003".

    Stacktower is a Python library that inspects your own tech stack and draws a similar diagram and highlights the individual thankless maintainers, so that you can thank them.


  • Teehee. They said "end to end". (Tech Crunch)
    Earlier this year, home goods maker Kohler launched a smart camera called the Dekoda that attaches to your toilet bowl, takes pictures of it, and analyzes the images to advise you on your gut health.
    I can see where this is going to end.
    The security researcher also pointed out that given Kohler can access customers' data on its servers, it's possible Kohler is using customers' bowl pictures to train AI.
    Why?
    Citing another response from the company representative, the researcher was told that Kohler's "algorithms are trained on de-identified data only."
    No.
    The Dekoda costs $599 plus a mandatory subscription of at least $6.99 per month.
    It's even cheaper if you don't buy it.


  • Russia has banned Roblox. (CBC)
    On Wednesday, Roskomnadzor blocked access to the U.S. children's gaming platform Roblox, accusing it of distributing extremist materials and "LGBT propaganda." Roskomnadzor further said Roblox was "rife with inappropriate content that can negatively impact the spiritual and moral development of children."
    Well, yes.


  • The iPhone Air has depreciated by 50% in ten weeks. (WCCFTech)

    It's like backwards DRAM.


  • A critical flaw in React and Next.js lets hackers execute code on your servers if you're a fucking idiot. (Bleeping Computer)

    The problem with making JavaScript run on servers is that then JavaScript programmers will run code on servers.

    The result is exactly what everyone predicted.

52 My 9070 XT arrived on Tuesday.
I can't really complain about them raising prices because I've already paid $10 more than the new suggested MSRP of $619.
The article says AMD will probably raise prices again in January so I guess it'll go up to $629 by then.

But AIB partners will certainly add another 10% to their pwn prices so you'll probably be paying $639 for the cheapest model by February.

"Examining your poop is a valuable, non-invasive way to monitor your digestive and overall health, as it provides daily clues about your body's functioning. Changes in stool shape, color, consistency, frequency, and smell can signal normal variations or indicate underlying health issues, prompting timely medical evaluation when necessary."

I don't know about that but the Magic Mouse was really one of Apple's best products to come out of the Steve Jobs era.

It's not the most ergonomic thing, but the touch feature is awesome.

She had a little clock in her head that said "Feeding time" or "Rising time for the hooman." If you made the mistake of getting up and feeding her at 5 am, the next morning she'd start crying at 4:30.

USAGE
The words hoard and horde have some similarities in meaning and are pronounced the same, so it is unsurprising that they are sometimes confused. A hoard is ‘a secret stock or store of something,’ as in ‘a hoard of treasure’, while a horde is a disparaging word for ‘a large group of people,’ as in ‘hordes of fans descended on the stage’.

Instances of hoard being used instead of horde are not uncommon: around a quarter of citations for hoard in the Oxford English Corpus are for the incorrect use

226 I must have ten old boxes for electronics.
I tend to keep the boxes when they're new because you never know if you'll have to send it back to get it repaired or replaced.

I learned that lesson the hard way when I had to send back a Samsung flat screen and didn't have the box.
UPS made an extra $60 off of me just packing the thing up and sending it back.

Now I've got a room with about 10 boxes and two or three TV boxes in the attic.

227 Pearl Harbor was 7 Dec ‘41, by February the government had already started major rationing of virtually everything and forbade production of consumer items altogether. The government can move fairly quickly when it has to.

Many people weren’t unaware of where things were going and had stockpiled car tires in anticipation. Rubber plantations in Malaya had been cutoff. Government said nope, five (5) tires is all you can have. $10,000 fine, etc.

Also very important to our ONT friend, Miklos. What other prominent socks did I miss? Also, this would be a good night to try on some new socks. What ya got??

Close Call!

Thai Woman Found Alive in Coffin Moments Before Cremation

A 65-year-old Thai woman stunned temple staff at a Buddhist temple near Bangkok after she was found alive inside a coffin just before her scheduled cremation.

The incident occurred at Wat Rat Prakhong Tham in Nonthaburi province, where a video posted to the temple’s Facebook page showed the woman lying in a white coffin in the back of a pickup truck. Temple workers were shocked when they noticed movement—her arms and head subtly shifting.

Pairat Soodthoop, the temple’s general and financial affairs manager, told the Associated Press that the woman had been brought from Phitsanulok province by her brother. He said the Thai woman had been bedridden for two years and appeared to have stopped breathing two days earlier.

The brother, assuming she had died, placed her in a coffin and drove approximately 500 kilometers to Bangkok, intending to donate her organs as per her earlier wish. However, a hospital declined to accept the body due to the lack of an official death certificate.

Emphasis mine. This must be the Thailand equivalent of a "Florida Man" story.

Critter Corner

On Tuesday, I featured a story about a drunk raccoon. This might be his cousin.



Oh, you were looking for something else about animals and alcohol? Got ya covered!


Wild chimps consume more alcohol than anyone expected

Date: December 1, 2025

Source: University of California - Berkeley

Summary: Chimpanzees naturally ingest surprising amounts of alcohol from ripe, fermenting fruit. Careful measurements show that their typical fruit diet can equal one to two human drinks each day. This supports the idea that alcohol exposure is not a modern human invention but an ancient primate habit. The work strengthens the “drunken monkey” hypothesis and opens new questions about how animals use ethanol cues in their environment.

This might be a repeat story from a previous ONT of mine. Not sure. I don't read my content.

I had a roommate who was a bouncer at a strip club. He wasn’t Tom Cruise by any stretch but he could pull some tail. Proximity is its own reward. Problem was he couldn’t stay awake at work, and the Army expects people to work.

He’d go down to the motor pool and get a creeper and then get under a truck. Tangle his arms up under the engine like he was working on something. Someone walking by, it looked like he was doing repairs or maintenance.

154 AH Lloyd I sort of assumed that re CAFE, but am further assuming that (as with the fee for Class III firearms permits) the regulators could reduce the standard to, effectively, zero. Of course manufacturers could be wary, in the event of calamity in 2028 (i.e. return to totalitarian racist retard rule). But imports could flow in.

I have only seen references and brief snippets on it, but seems that Trump did something that would, inter alia, make importation of Hiluxes possible. Hope so, though I'm not a likely buyer. Just curious why that vehicle was effectively banned. For years I have seen, online, people (justifiably, I'd guess) whining about that situation.

155 What happens when you divide by zero on a mechanical 1950s calculator?

I usually post stuff like this on the hobby thread, but - we had a TRS-80 when I was a kid. When I was ten I recalled there was a square-root program in the Basic book when Extended Basic had the SQR() function, which wouldn't allow SQR(-1).
I vaguely knew that SQR(-1) wasn't a thing. (I didn't know about the Imaginary plane of i.)
So I tried running the Basic square-root program. (I didn't know about calculus or Newton then, either. Or the concept of convergence.)
It just kept running and running without any conclusion.
This is why they don't let ten year olds code, I guess.

Posted by: Soothsayer is now Sheriff Andy Taylor at December 04, 2025 10:29 PM (jwV5

I understand it, but I don’t know if I can explain it well. It has to with CAFE standards and the way large trucks are legislatively treated differently than cars and small trucks. The formulas are complicated, but short story it was far more profitable to build large expensive trucks than small, and it helped satisfy fleet CAFE standards as well. (Only because of bad legislation). Foreign companies stopped importing them because there’s been a 25% “chicken tarriff” on all small trucks. (And that was long before Trump)

So he has now wiped all that away. Small trucks can be imported and sold again. Personally, I had a couple in the 80’s and 90’s and lovec them.

233 Not a car guy, at all, but many here are, so please to acesplain to me (summary) the deal with the Toyota Hilux trucks, specifically what made them "illegal" (Trump changed this today?) and what the likely market is for them.

For extra credit, explain why "CAFE" standards are not just eliminated, instead of tweaked/lowered?
Posted by: rhomboid at December 04, 2025 10:25 PM (U/Byj)


CAFE standard declare the mpg allowed for all the vehicles manufactured by a manufacturer and sold in the US. At the moment the vehicles outside of that size are the size of an old F-350 or bigger.

CAFE standards were initially meant to help resolve the 1973 OPEC price hike and peak oil, now they are to push EVs. For reasons.

"No. Consumers didn't wake up one day and decide they didn't want a 2 seater pickup that got 25 mpg and told Ford marketing surveys they want massive trucks that feel like your driving a Boeing 737. Those trucks were regulated out of existence by accelerated CAFE standards under democrats who literally wanted to regulate the ICE out of the market"

Why can’t China build a nuclear-powered carrier? The new Fujian is diesel-driven — just like the Ukrainian relic Liaoning and the freshly built Shandong.

Conventional engines mean limited range and limited reach — because Beijing still hasn’t managed to steal the technology for a marine HEU nuclear ☢️ reactor.

246 another quote about the Hilux

"The Toyota Helux Champ will soon be on the American market! It’s a light-duty, basic pickup truck that will likely sell for less than $20k. Until today, U.S. regulations made it impossible to sell in our markets"

and positive comments about the Hilux Champ:

Here are 5 great points about the Toyota Hilux Champ:
1) Starts at just ~$13,000 USD – insanely affordable for a brand-new Toyota truck.
2) Tough 2.0L/2.7L petrol or 2.4L diesel engines with proven Hilux durability.
3) Ladder-frame chassis, rear-wheel drive, and high ground clearance – built for real work and off-road.
4) Super modular: flatbed, camper, food truck, or mini-RV conversions are easy and factory-supported.
5) Legendary Toyota reliability + huge parts network worldwide – it will outlast almost anything in its price range

further, you can buy them for ready cash in Colombia with a diesel engine, and I am pissed about this. F___ing Colombia

I thought Trump did away with the incandescent ban back in his first administration. Also low-flow in shower heads and appliances.

Problem with all these kinds of things is,

1 First, government bans (or overtaxes) something, the manufacturers go out of business, move overseas, or at best re-tool.

2. Then the other party gets in, and even with good incentives, they have to start up those factories, coal mines, and nuke plants from scratch, build the incandescent market back up, rejigger all the toilets, whatever.

3. Then the regulator party gets back in and the cycle starts over (jump to 1).

Not worth it. Which is why we need to completely and permanently eradicate the whole attitude about regulatory government - yeah, sure. 🙄

Maybe it's time to revisit the Gyrojet action for light machine guns. No recoil, because each projectile is a tiny rocket. No rifling needed, because the rocket jets are tangential, imparting spin. Gun would be very cheap to build. The drawbacks to Gyrojet were low velocity at short range, and poor accuracy. AS a pintle-mounted machinegun, neither of those would very important. Main use would be dealing with mobs.

I was watching a doc on the operation of one of our carriers. Forget which one. Anyway they were showing the kitchen/mess and staff. I swear they did have one sailor that probably was literally slightly retarded. After screwing up a simple task the head of the kitchen ( forget rank) had him do what he thought was even simpler. Told him to put the boxes of bagged roasts in the big vat of boiling water. He came back a short time later and the retard had opened the bags and took the roasts out and put them in the vat. Don't assume anything when instructing a retard.

The Big Three each introduced and economy car in 1960, Falcon, Corvair, Valiant. Mercury brought out the Comet, which was a Falcon with a slight wheelbase stretch. It was a hit too, accounting for half the cars Mercury sold. Trouble is that they found that the Comet buyers would have bought a larger, more expensive Mercury if the Comet wasn't available.

I have a great big roll of LED multicolor lights for the tree. A conglomeration from Walmart and Ace Hardware. They've lasted at least 5 or 6 years. I do love multicolor lights. I'm not loud, but I'm tacky.

Posted by: BarelyScaryMary has never wrecked a car at December 04, 2025 11:46 PM (6p0Jv)

I'm thinking of switching to LED lights. The problem is there's 30 frigging years of hallmark star trek and star wars ornaments that are powered by removing a bulb from the strand and plugging it in. If I can't remove single bulbs from the strings I'm screwed, and I'm not sure the LED ones work that way. For years I kept thinking about making them their own dedicated harness from 1 single light string, but every year we added more ornaments. The more recent ornaments don't get plugged in anymore and have their own batteries, which is stupid because they don't stay on until you turn them on individually, then they turn off by themselves in like 20 seconds, which makes them frigging worthless as a tree ornament. The only upside is I'm now working with a finite number of "plug in" ornaments and can make the harness.

400 Not sure how LED string lights work. Individual LED's nominally work at 4.5 volts DC. You can string them in series to take a higher DC voltage, but if one draws a bit more juice than the others, the voltage doesn't apportion well, and something will burn out. Maybe the string lights get away with it because they are so low-powered?

yeah, this is why the tree takes 3 days. You have to unbox the start trek ornament, pull a bulb, plug in the ornament, make sure it makes contact in the socket so the string don't die, then put the bulb in the ornament box so you know where it is. then to take the tree down you have to leave the lights on as you unplug each ornament, then replace the bulb to make sure the light string lights back up. You get to do this for at 50 frigging ornaments. I swear, I'm tempted to go all kinds of goldfinger, cut a circular hole in the floor, install a hydraulic platform, push a button at my desk and a fully decorated tree appears from the frigging basement.

417 Four seasons,
Sorry that Qdpsteve told you that on the gun thread, must have missed it but that is well beyond the pale of acceptable behavior.

Some type of people get furious about criticism and apparent rejection and pop off. Then escalate when called out on it. Think Jim SND had a similar experience over the same guy wanting to set up stakes card games or somewhat at a momeet. Jim was a gentleman but finally went nuclear which was awesome in the same way a mushroom cloud occurs after a large explosion leaves the target incinerated. Scary but a thing of beauty at the same time.

AOP tried to warn Qdpsteve repeatedly about skating on thin ice but some people can't take a hint I guess.

Sorry again it happened and I missed it or I would have said something at the time. Have a good evening.

Grandma put the little candles on, and they lit the tree. Let them burn for just a minute and extinguished all.

439 When I was a yute a person could buy a permit from the park service and go into the national forest and cut down one tree and bring it back home. (I’m sure that’s not allowed any more). One year my dad got such a permit and we drove up near Flagstaff to find and capture the perfect Christmas Tree. It was a lot of fun, we didn’t see snow often at all, and I remember sliding down an icy hill with no board, just my pants, and catching a hidden rock with my crotch halfway down. Good times, good times.
Of course Dad did a Griswold and tied a tree onto the roof that was longer than the car, and we drove two hours back that way. And my mom just looked at him when he finally had to face the puzzle of how to get a 14 foot tree through an 8 foot door.
It was a lovely tree, though.

452 My oldest brother and several of his college friends bought surplus jeeps in crates in the late 60s. Of course had mods they added (roll bars, which as it turned out got used during probably well lubricated rowdy nights out in the desert after geology stuff was done for the day). I remember "helping" him build it (simple menial stuff that needed doing).

These were the days when M1s were in barrels at the gun store for probably $70 or something. And as 8th graders we would walk down a main street to a quarry to shoot a Springfield rifle, zero notice or interest by anyone. As they say nowadays, a proper country.

Full Moon tonight, the Cold Moon of the Long Night, and it's rainy and cloudy here. Just looking at times, the Moon will be above the horizon here for 15 hours and 30 minutes, over 1 hour longer than the sun is at summer solstice. And I can't see it.

Enjoy it, the Moon won't be this high again for another 18.6 years.

I say "high". What this means is the Moon's orbital plane is at it's highest inclination with respect to earth's equatorial plane. This is the "nodal precession" cycle, causing the Moon's inclination to alternately add and subtract from the earth's axial tilt.

Anyway, last summer, the full Moon was about as low in the sky as it can get. When that tilt is high, the full Moon can take it's extremes of altitude in the local sky.

I'll stick with the low of 42F.

Just had two friends spend a month in N Idaho and got skunked. My brother just sent me a.picture of a four point bull standing in his yard. About 30 miles south of where my buds were hunting. Of course for them, it was more about who brought the best whiskey.

Ha! I am on a quest to have the world’s best trained Shiba, which as you know is not a high bar. But he is very good on the leash, he heels until he is told he can break, he sits when I stop, he waits until I tell him to go through the door, he knows down, place (which still needs work), but his recall off leash remains nonexistent. It’s so funny they all have a no return policy. Crazy dogs.

Posted by: Its Go Time Donald


When they're little calves, like the two dozen or so recently born here, they run and play like cute dogs.

Which is always ironically amusing, considering how after a short while, they don't run and play anymore.

But last month, when a mama cow and several calves walked across the cattle guard into the living area, and we went out in the little red pick-em-up to herd them back, mama at one point got to jump and run surprisingly lively. Livelyly?

But if you don't think bulls can jump, visit a rodeo.

"Typical" Boise winter is getting a foot of snow in December, then staring at the same foot of snow until it melts in mid-January. Boise is also know for the weeks-long "inversions" where cold air and freezing fog gets trapped in the valley with no sun in sight.

I had a manager who decided to make the team do their own individual performance reviews.

I put down "exceptional" in every spot, except for "following instructions and performing duties" which I put the second highest rating.

We had a Basset Hound when I was a kid. We'd let him roam with us in the woods. A few times some of the neighbor's cows got on our property, and he went into beast mode, chasing the cattle.

You'd see those cows jump about a 4' fence, and he'd jump right after them.

I think management started to wince when they handed out stuff like that to me. I tended to start free associating until I ran out of time, patience or room in the boxes.

One "confidential information training" module we did had us give feedback, and I started giving "bad Amazon Reviews". It took them 7 months before they gave me a reprimand for wasting time. (The way management smirked at me the day before meant they kept passing it around and laughing, but had to keep pushing it up the chain to the 3rd floor so they justify passing it around)

"How the wind howls!"

One of Peter Jackson's many crimes in his Lord of the Rings adaptation was leaving out the night battle with the wolves near Moria. That was the first time you got to see the Fellowship in action, and the fact that the wolves were phantoms made it legit creepy.

But he needed more time for jumping game footage in Moria and dumb dwarf jokes and Aragorn flirting with Eowyn and falling off a cliff.

One of my friends from high school is a transplant in Texas and he likes the culture and conservatism vs Michigan, but he's not a fan of the climate. He said that Michigan is constantly changing, and while it has crap weather, it also has really gorgeous weather, and the year feels like a progression.

In Texas it's always yellow, and the only marker is blossoms in the spring. And the heat.

W.T. Sherman was stationed in Texas and said that if he had a house in hell and house in Texas, he'd sublet the house in Texas and live in hell.

The easiest way to beat the Chinese would be to just buy up all the fuel on the black market near the military bases. Everything staged would get stolen and there's no vroom vroom to go with the boom boom. As I understand it military wise, stuff that just sits there is easier to deal with.

Considering the whole of Texas, I think the zone between Austin and San Antonio is probably the best climate in the entire state. Don't get the hurricanes, next to no ice or snow, tornados nothing like the north half. Fairly predictable weather year-round.

OTOH, East Texas around Gilmer / Longview has "seasons", its generally cooler, but that means nothing because of the humidity is downright oppressive.

But I have A/C everywhere and its only August/September when its too oppressive to go on bicycle rides or run.

The limestone lakes in the Hill Country are fairly clear compared to the murk in ETX. But ETX has the water and the trees so I like it here better than anywhere else in the State.

For a lark during the winter of '92, I rode my bike through the snow from Case to Wells Hall for my German class. Not only that, I wore shorts (with thermal boxers, tho).

Kind of freaked out the class once the snow melted off my legs. It was fine, the only issue being that the fluid in my joins began to congeal, making pedaling more sluggish. Very peculiar sensation.

Were you in any of the massive snowball fights? They were gettig pretty crazy in the 1990s.

Supreme Court Okays Texas' Redistricting Map

Thank goodness.


California just amended its constitution to permit Gavin Newsom to redraw that state's map for maximum partisan advantage. Meanwhile, left-wing judges insist that Republicans aren't allowed to do the same, Because Racist.

The Supreme Court "took note" of California's similar manuever and decided, by 6 to 3, that no, it's not (D)ifferent when (D)emocrats do it any longer.

The Supreme Court said Thursday that Texas can use its new gerrymandered House map in the upcoming midterm elections, likely yielding as many as five additional seats for Republicans in the battle for control of the House.

...

By an apparent 6-3 vote, the justices granted an emergency request from Texas officials to block a lower court ruling that The court's high ruling also took note of recent Democrat-led redistricting in California, signaling that the justices may not be inclined to interfere with those efforts or similar drives in other states.

I think this means the Supreme Court will finally overturn the leftwing-judge-made "law" that states are required to use racial criteria to maximize minority "representation."

7 If Pennsylvania eventually gets a Republican Governor, they can do the same. Currently the Republicans control the State Senate and the Higher Legislature as well as the AG.

Previously, the Republicans tried to re-district and the PA Supreme Court shot it down (illegally). But, this USSC decision would circumvent the PA Supreme Courts interference.

14 Does Texas really have the right to separate into a total of four states? The donks would probably gerrymander the whole thing to make sure that each state contained a major donk city (Central Texas, Austin, Southern Texas, Houston, etc.). Maybe it would be possible to create one state, shaped rather like a colon, that included most of the liberal enclaves.

66 The statement that Prop 50 was amended IS NOT CORRECT.

AUTHORIZES TEMPORARY CHANGES TO CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MAPS IN
RESPONSE TO TEXAS' PARTISAN REDISTRICTING. LEGISLATIVE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Requires temporary use of new congressional district
maps through 2030. Directs independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to resume enacting
congressional district maps in 2031. Establishes policy supporting nonpartisan redistricting
commissions nationwide. Fiscal Impact: One-time costs to counties of up to a few million
dollars statewide to update election materials to reflect new congressional district maps.

This is what was on the ballot. This is what was voted on. It pretty clearly states it is not amending the Constitution, but ignoring it. Yes, they use legislative slight of hand to try to gloss over the blatant unconstitutional power grab... but the wording on the BALLOT is what was voted on, which allows the legislature to ignore the Calif. Constitution.

She will lose by 9, and people will credit the panic to Paxton's win, not the fact that sassy black women don't play well with Hispanics in general.

71 By the way, the reason the Supremes told Texas to go ahead, is that they already KNOW that they are striking down Racial Jerrymandering...

Which will also bring Calif Prop 50 back into court, as the guy who drew the maps specifically said it he did it to give one more Hispanic Seat.

78 I missed the WH Christmas decoration thread but I’m a colored light guy. First I just like it better but the other reason is multiple white lights are used year round on any number of buildings so I can’t wrap my head around white lights signifying Christmas.

Posted by: the way I see it at December 04, 2025 06:42 PM (KDPiq)

The white represents the snow, or the sparkle of snow when light hit it, or so they tell me anyway. Yeah, it can be overdone though. I use both white and colored lights, especially on the tree. The white for the brightness, and the color for the color. Works great, almost like colored lights on a tree with snow. At the old house I used white and red outside on the light post out front for that candy cane thing. This house has the columns under the gable by the front door, and that will get the same treatment IF I can get the outside outlets installed in time. Nothing but white though, yeah thats a bit sterile, but I have seen it done pretty nice.

107 Does Texas really have the right to separate into a total of four states? The donks would probably gerrymander the whole thing to make sure that each state contained a major donk city (Central Texas, Austin, Southern Texas, Houston, etc.). Maybe it would be possible to create one state, shaped rather like a colon, that included most of the liberal enclaves.

A Refugee Group Was Repeatedly Warned That the Killer of the National Guardswoman Was "Spiraling" Into "Mania," But No Official Action Seems to Have Been Taken

A refugee group was repeatedly warned that the National Guardsmen assassin was "spiraling" into mental illness but apparently no law enforcement or immigration courts were alerted.

A leading national refugee agency was warned multiple times that the Afghan terror suspect accused of murdering one National Guard member and critically injuring another was spiraling into mania and mental illness beginning in 2023, according to a bombshell email leak.

Despite this, and an alleged failure to maintain his mandated contact with state social services, he still managed to win asylum in April of this year.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal's behavior was so disturbing that a local community advocate reached out to a refugee organization for help, according to emails to the US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) seen by the Associated Press.

"Rahmanullah has not been functional as a person, father, and provider since March of last year [2023]. He quit his job that month, and his behavior has changed greatly," the community member wrote in January 2024.

The community member said he feared that Lakanwal had become suicidal.


...

He was brought to the US in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, moving to Bellingham, Washington, with his wife and their five young sons.

But he reportedly struggled to assimilate, failed to hold down a steady job or commit to learning English, according to the emails.

Alternating between "periods of dark isolation and reckless travel," Lakanwal sometimes spent weeks in his "darkened room, not speaking to anyone, not even his wife or older kids," the person wrote.

During these "manic episodes," he would reportedly "take off in the family car, and drive nonstop," the email outlined, leaving for up to two weeks at a time on his own, driving as far as Chicago or Arizona.

Lakanwal also failed to stay in contact with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) as was mandated by the terms of his entry into the US, except for "interim" weeks where he would "do the right things," according to the emails.

And I guess Washington State didn't alert anyone, either.


He was so depressed that the community member feared he would harm himself, according to the emails.

When his wife would leave him with the kids for a week while she traveled to visit relatives, his children would go to school unwashed and in dirty clothes without having eaten well, according to the person.

The children's school raised concerns about his behavior, and the family even faced eviction at one point in 2023 after months of not paying rent.

In response to two emails, the USCRI tried to visit Lakanwal and his family in Bellingham in March 2024, according to the author of the emails.

After they received no updates, they believed that Lakanwal had refused assistance.

It's unclear whether the community member or USCRI reported the mental distress to immigration authorities or law enforcement.

Trump announced another step to control immigration: work permits will only be issued for 18 months at a time, instead of the five years they're currently issued for.

That means that fraudsters will have to interact with government officials more often, and hopefully more fraud will be discovered and more badly-behaving "asylum seekers" will be kicked out.


The Trump administration is dramatically scaling back the timeframe in which asylum seekers and other foreign nationals can have valid work permits in the U.S.

Work permits issued to foreign nationals who’ve applied for asylum or other humanitarian programs will only be valid for 18 months rather than five years, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on Thursday. The decision marks the latest action by the agency tasked with managing the country’s immigration system, since two National Guard members were ambushed by an Afghan man shortly before Thanksgiving.

--------------------------
I have a Pakistani coworker who HATES Afghans. She constantly talks about their brutality and how Pakistan deported them en masse and put up massive border walls to keep them out.

I don't think Afghans need brainwashing. They are just so medieval that they go nuts outside of a their natural goat-infested habit. That and they are expected to not murder people on a regular basis. Read "The Great Game" by Peter Hopkirk to see how bloodthirsty and duplicitous these people were and are.

Why would anyone expect anything different? That murderer was part of the "tribe" and they protect members of the tribe against anyone not in the tribe.

I drive a shit car, I never vacation, all my money goes to my family, I'm the only earner, I pay for private school because schools in GA suck. So once again I'm screwed. I knew this was coming and read about it earlier. But these sobs. Pisses the hell out of me.

Fair.

But, more seriously, Jackson has written solo-dissents before. She could have here, but it was about Hispanics, so I guess she just didn't have the fire in her belly for it. So, that should mean Sotomayor would jump at it, but I bet Kagan said she'd only sign onto the dissent if she wrote it alone and not Sotomayor. She wasn't going to sign onto 55 pages of "Texas hates Hispanics and are trying to murder them."

It was specific to racial questions brought up in the TX map. Essentially, TX drew out rural Hispanics into districts, rural Hispanics who tend to vote Republican, and this was a racial gerrymander or something.

I'm sure FL will see its own separate legal challenges, but with Gingles most likely being overturned with the LA case and maybe even Section 2 dying, any lawsuit there will die quickly.

173 Ya know, I have to dust off Ayaan Hirsi Ali's autobiography again because Im sure there's a section about when she first moved to The Netherlands was and was bewildered at how neat and clean and law-abiding and orderly it was. Every Muslim is taught that Islam is the true path, believers are naturally superior and rejecting Islam means society ends up in darkness and chaos. But she (and others like her she noted) had to flee to an infidel country and it was obviously far superior to their native shitholes and alot of Muslims just couldn't handle it mentally. Being confronted with their own obvious inferiority broke something in a lot of them. With her it made her realize Islam is bullshit. Others retreated into delusion or lashed out violently.

I grew up a colored lights kid, but when I saw the white lights at my wealthier friends' house, i became a White Lights Aspirant.

Remember Jill Biden's Trans Christmas horror shows?

I'm a white lights person, but there are currently colored lights on my house, so make of that what you will.

(Also, I'm colorblind, so that might be why I prefer the white lights. Or I'm a racist. Either one.)

Every time I see that name I think of-

Ol' Shri looks looks like a ferret, so he should just make it official and take the name.

Let's see how it improves the News:

Uncommonly large ferret, or perhaps weasel, Rep. Sredni Vashtar, to introduce articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

I have no outlet outside the front of my townhome and I love Christmas lights, so it was a happy day when I found these 90% off now 11 years ago after Christmas. Before I was stuck with door wreaths (which are fine, but not lights - I am a sucker for lights!)...

If you don't know, his official 2.0 photo mimics the mug shot one (you can tell they're different owing to different colored ties) and hangs in all the VA Medical Centers and Clinics in which I work.

Another interesting aspect: in the past, only two photos were displayed: the POTUS and the Secretary of the VA (presently Doug Collins). However, they've now included a third photo -- of the Vice President.

78 I like both types of lights. We have white, because I have fake trees, and the brand I bought back in the day only came with white ones. They are certainly very tasteful. The next tree I get will have both options. Sometimes you want that festive look. And yes, grew up working class, if not actually poor by some standards. Didn't have electricity or indoor plumbing til I was 10, in 73. Didn't feel poor at all.

That her father is uninvolved in her life is likely her saving grace.

(Funny how in this case, the father NOT being involved greatly increases the chances she won't be a stripper when she grows up.)

121 When I grew up, real lights were colored. They required work to maintain and clip to tree (they were heavier)

The white lights came when the cheap LED came out. Because they were cheap people could buy and use more, and they looked "elegant" but they were a convenience and not a luxury.

Ace may see them as "upper class," but they were for people who didn't want to spend the time and effort, so they were fake and cheap. You could wrap them around a tree in minutes without clipping.

It is like saying "do you like crocs or handmade leather shoes?"

While mother was in the assisted living center and not ambulatory, she was wanting those four foot high bogus trees that adorned the front porch of her former home. Had all the lights and a timer built-in, but the cats pissed them all up and there was no way I was going to store them or bring them in.

Off to Wallymart where in the Trailer Trash section of the store, were these light fiber really bogus looking three foot tall "trees" that were constantly changing in colors in the hundreds of strands. Absolutely hideous and a mockery of Christmas decorations - so I bought three of them.

Day 1: "Are you kidding?"
Day 3: The cares love them - I love them too.

194 When I was a kid, we had spruce tree that straddled the lot that our house was on and the neighboring lot, where a sweet old lady lived. Every Christmas my Dad would put colored lights on it. I think the old lady and he went halvesies on the cost.

It's a very nice memory.

195 Colored lights 100%. White lights are for people who no longer profess to be Christians or who are embarrassed by their Christianity, or afraid to proclaim it loudly.

When you go from colors to white, the next step is no lights; in other words, the erasure of the holiday.

287 I've got two of the three trees decorated, the kiddie tree in the family room and the one on the small balcony in the back. Little old lady who lives a few doors down loves to see that one from her kitchen window.

The main tree has lighting issues. Grrrrrrr. Don't get me started on Balsam Hill. Bookoo bucks and they're made in China and customer service is in India. Waiting on a new one that's not coming until the 8th.

I used to do lights outside on the house and bushes, but now I put live wreaths with red bows and white lights on each of the windows and doors. Much easier and I think it looks better too. Win-win.

My Dad, though, loved blue and green. He had strings of the old timey bulbs, and took the time to make sure they were blue, green, etc.

Mom had a ton of very old ornaments, many of them works of art. Not sure who get those now that she has passed away.

We always got a real tree. Dad was like Clark Griswold without the malignant narcissism. I actually loved traipsing around the North Fork of the Shoshone in deep snow, looking for the right tree. I am weird that way.

Hate to tell you but part of that law was unconstitutional. States and localities cannot ban police etc from cooperating with the police and making it a criminal action. If you notice, that particular provision has applications to immigration and sanctuary city bullshit.

States and localities cannot be commanded to do federal regulatory action (Clinton v. NY and Printz v. US) but neither states nor localities can legally prevent individual state or local officials from doing so. Old settled law going back to well before the ACW.

370 ABC’s Martha Raddatz on Wednesday’s ‘World News Tonight’ about drug boat-gate: “And tonight, new information: According to a source familiar with the incident, the two survivors climbed back on to the boat after the initial strike. They were believed to be potentially in communication with others, and salvaging some of the drugs. Because of that, it was determined they were still in the fight and valid targets. A JAG officer was also giving legal advice. So, again, David, that video will be key and Admiral Bradley will be on the Hill tomorrow behind closed doors.”

424 Double checked. Yes, the old tinsel was made of lead. Banned in the US in 1972. The strips were pressed flat, and while it didn't have the sparkle of tinsel now it was more of a subdued shine. It was also heavy enough to hang pretty straight. Our family had switched by the mid 60's I think. The "new" tinsel is easier to reuse, the lead stuff usually ended up as a lump by year three.

I also grew up with colored lights and tinsel on our tree, but think we've always had tiny white ones. No tinsel. Our tree is up but the lights are not on.Have collected an ornament a year since we got engaged (197. I have a lot of ornaments, plus inherited ones, etc.

On a whim I bought old crystal chandelier "icicles" from etsy this year. Because I felt like it and want some sparkle. It could look wacko, and I think there's only 10 or so and I will admit failure if it looks tacky.

We have a nice fake tree vs the real ones we used to buy. This way I can leave it up as long as I want, typically after the Epiphany.

It will take me a day or so to decorate the house. Not tomorrow after noon as a certain baby princess will be bossing me around.

He did put the lit wreaths on the front doors so we don't look like demented heathens with the autumn wreaths still up.

Many people around here seem to decorate before Thanksgiving, which is fine, but we wait til the first Sunday of Advent. Or, if I think of it and have time, after Thanksgiving.

As I sit here and discuss it with y’all, I think my issue is I put my background, looks like it’s bouncing through the whole tree ribbons first, and then fit in the statement over top, which is messing up the symmetry of the bouncing ribbon. So it’s absolutely backwards, but I am going to take the bouncing ribbon out, but the statement bows in, and then put the bouncing ribbon back in. Will add the picks/ florals and hit the decorations after. Okay, thank you again for talking that through with me!

Most of the YT video intros can be skipped. I already knew about the case from the district and appellate review.

Simply put, it was grandstanding bullshit by MO and patently unconstitutional in its reach. Basically if federal government has a power to enforce this or that law, acting to try to prevent it by states or local governments acting on individuals including state and local officials that do try to cooperate is unconstitutional because of the Supremacy Clause.

So far, under Miller and later decisions, Scotus has specifically allowed Congress to regulate firearms. You can argue that Scotus got it wrong or press for legislative redress (Congress is under no obligation to pass regulations on firearms), but clearly that is the current understanding of the court that the 2A permits fedgov to regulate. And that same court has also restricted states from fully limiting firearms in the later Heller and MacDonald cases.

430 A few years ago I wanted to buy Christmas lights. I knew immediately what I wanted: LED lights (low-power, don't get super hot), multi-color, twinkling. I found that Target had many different various kinds of Christmas lights, and one of them was what I wanted. (It turns out that only some of the lights twinkled... I think 2/3 don't and 1/3 do twinkle. It's enough, the twinkling is nice but not overwhelming.)

So we bought like 7 of them. Our Christmas tree is colorful and gently twinkling every year. I really like it.

Maybe solid white would be higher class but who cares? I'm a Moron, I don't need to class-signal.

P.S. If you want lights like this, we got them at Target and they are "Wondershop" brand. I just did a quick web search and I think what we have is: C6

Has to do with a Missouri state constitutional amendment that prevented state and local officials from cooperating with fedgov on firearm investigations plus allowed MO citizens affected by investigations to sue those officials that did.

Basically the same idea behind the Sanctuary cities and states on immigration and so on. Very much not surprised that Scotus and the DoJ were not going to let that stand as it has implications for any federal, state, and local cooperation broadly on investigations. Like it or not, if fedgov has the power to regulate, then its regulation is supreme over that of states and localities and that includes inducing aid from state or local officials even if the state as a whole or locality as a whole forbid it.

439 Colored lights all the way. That's what we grew up with. When Dad was making serious money, we moved to an upperclass neighborhood where EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE, had a single white candle in every window, and white lights on their Christmas trees (almost always real ones).

I got so bored with the monochromatic scheme that now I go nuts in my own house, with all colored lights on the tree, on the bushes outside, around the porch roof, and on the walkway to the garage. And I have strings of the big fat C-9 incandescent bulbs, too: inside, incandescent, but outside, mostly LEDs.

Only thing is, when it snows, the LEDs can't melt it, so they get covered.

I like the multi-colored lights best and LEDs-- they are so bright, without consuming lot$ of juice.

Even though I've never done so, it thrills me that I could connect *dozens* of strings without popping any breakers. Wow. If only I could afford that many lights, LOL.

446 Nobody colored my lights, they were made that way!

Seriously, I’m a colored lights person, and they blink and flash in a random pattern. My wife came from a slightly more well to do family, and she decorated in white lights. After we married, I convinced her to go with colored lights, but it wasn’t easy.

Ace may be right about socio-economic factors in Christmas decoration preferences.

447 White lights, but not those eye-searing 6700k things. They are ok for outdoor displays, like icicle lights, but indoor, and especially on a tree, much warmer - 3000 - 4000k. Soft monochrome lights are nice, or even a non-garish pattern of 2 or 3 colors, but, please, no dancing-weenie sweeping, strobing, swirling stuff on an indoor CHRISTMAS tree. Outside? Knock yourself out.
The holiday season is festive, not gaudy.

Another of Biden's "Fully Vetted" Afghan Heroes Arrested for Terrorism

so heroic you guys

such allies

ICE on Wednesday arrested yet another Afghan migrant brought into the country under former President Biden's troubled "Operation Allies Welcome" -- this time a man Homeland Security officials say was tied directly to ISIS-K.

Agents took Jaan Shah Safi into custody just outside Washington, marking the latest example of a resettlement effort critics warned from the start would import national-security threats into American communities. Safi arrived in Philadelphia on September 8, 2021, during the Biden administration's massive Afghan airlift, a rush job that moved nearly 190,000 people into the U.S. with barely any vetting.

According to ICE, Safi provided support to ISIS-K and the Islamic State's Iraq network, and even supplied weapons to his father, a militia commander back in Afghanistan. After entering the U.S., he filed for Temporary Protected Status -- a request that fell apart when DHS Secretary Kristi Noem ended TPS for Afghans, exposing how many people the Biden team had waved through without knowing who they were.

"Today, our heroic ICE officers arrested Jaan Shah Safi, a terrorist who provided material support to ISIS-K," Noem said, blasting Biden's resettlement operation as "disastrous" and pointing out that Safi was picked up only miles from where National Guard members Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe were ambushed days earlier. That attack, carried out by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, left Beckstrom dead and Wolfe in critical condition -- yet another case tied directly to Biden's program.

The pattern hasn't stopped. On November 25, authorities in Fort Worth arrested Mohammad Dawood Alokozay after he allegedly posted a TikTok video hinting at a terror plot. Like Safi and Lakanwal, Alokozay entered the United States because of Operation Allies Welcome.


Remember, back in January, CBS's Melting Pot 5 propgandist Margaret Brennan argued 1, that all of the Afghan "heroes" were "fully vetted," 2, we should not even discuss the "fully vetted" heroes who are being arrested for plotting terrorist attacks, and 3, we should further ignore the then-latest Afghan terrorist's Islamic radicalism, because, you see, we don't know if he was radicalized in Afghanistan or radicalized here.

Lefties love fighting against the facts to create the thinnest possible zone of doubt so they can then say, "Because I have established 1% doubt about one minor point, the accused must be set free, and we must continue to follow the leftist agenda on this point. Unless the leftist agenda is disproved with 115% certainty, we must accept that the leftist agenda is 115% true."

Anyway, this claim by Brennan resulted in the highly-memeworthy response: "I don't really care, Margaret."

Update: It's always dangerous to trust google searches during fast-breaking news, but this account claims that "little Brian" lived at home with his father, who owns an immigration bail bond company.

30 How can you really "vet" these guys? Serious question.

They're 8th century savages from a 4th world country with no records, no real infrastructure, and an entire culture built around infiltration and destruction.

There's no way to do effective background checks on savages like this. And even if you somehow could, it's been proven that these animals can be radicalized on a dime. Hell, even American citizens have been radicalized in short order. We could be letting in one of the few "moderate" Afghans, but 6 months after they get here they get Heismanned on tinder and start stabbing people.

I think the GOP is falling into a "vetting" trap, when the correct answer is that we don't want any of these CHUDs.

I thought all that oil money was a problem, and we should have never allowed that.

Post 9/11 I understood and accepted that we had a problem. It was not "reformable" and in fact, Christianity needed a reform away from our weak and tolerant ways. We needed to accept that much (not all) of the non-Christian world was evil and they wanted us dead.

71 I hope DeSantis went on to say that if the companies in FL hired illegals without verifying them and now have no workers, that is their own little red wagon; and in any case that will open up hundreds or thousands of jobs for American citizens.

Personally I think the companies that hired illegals, knowingly or unknowingly (as if they could *not* know when the applicant speaks no English), deserve huge crippling fines. And the CEOs should go to jail. This will naturally encourage other companies to avoid doing this.

One of Trump’s first executive actions of his second term was to issue clemency to the nearly 1,600 defendants accused or convicted of “offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.” It remains to be seen whether Cole’s lawyers will try to argue that their client is covered by Trump’s proclamation.

92 With the Afghans brought over here under the "Allies Welcome" program, or whatever it's called, we at least have a hunch who's here and maybe where they are.

The thousands of Middle Eastern men who flooded the southern border and entered the country with no vetting, and no idea where they are... this seems to me to be a bit more disturbing.

I accepted that sometimes you have to deal with the devil to get one up on them.

point -- I now understand that the DC clowns are not only naive, but they are in league with our enemies. They are our enemies and they understand that once these people enter the country we have no defense and no way to remove them.

The West has to abandon tolerance (equality, freedom, for those who despise us) and go full reconquista and inquisition. Spain could do that because the King said so. We have no king, we have a constitution that says we can't.

UK has parliament which can do what it wants, but it may already be too late for them.

Nobody actually said that that boobies are evil . although you've said this before several times. I said that women who monetize their bobbies and the rest of their "assets "on Only Fans are narcissists and even the men here who enjoy looking at them often call them THOTs. So, should men enjoy looking at their wives boobies? -yes. Should women enjoy using their boobies for pleasure with their husband? yes. I doubt though that most men would want their daughters or wives to do OF for some bucks. It doesn't seem like a very conservative POV.

One of Trump’s first executive actions of his second term was to issue clemency to the nearly 1,600 defendants accused or convicted of “offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.” It remains to be seen whether Cole’s lawyers will try to argue that their client is covered by Trump’s proclamation.

I guess the good news is, we have adults at the DOJ and other agencies who are actually looking into this crap, rather than putting a rug over it like the previous presidency.

But Jesus is also going to burn the world first, and kill off the vast majority of bad people, which likely will take out a whoooole lot of Muslims, along with various corrupt others too. So not even Jesus will be able to reform mortal Muslims without killing a whole bunch of them first.

301 Bidens band of the lower lifeforms on earth is starting to be uncovered

Posted by: Spurwing Plover at December 04, 2025 06:15 PM (wGqjj)

Bondi, Pirro, Bongino Crow About J5 Bomber Arrest, Note That Biden Allowed the Case to "Languish"

A lot of celebrating from the beleaguered DOJ leadership.

...

Federal agents swarmed the Woodbridge, Va., home of 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. following the break in the case that has vexed and embarrassed the FBI for nearly five years.

"You're not going to walk into our capital city, put down two explosive devices and walk off into the sunset," bureau Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who has made the case a priority since taking office in March, told reporters at an afternoon news conference. "Not gonna happen.

"We were gonna track this person to the end of the earth. There was no way he was getting away."

Authorities did not publicly indicate any motive for the crime, with one high-placed FBI source rejecting earlier claims that Cole may have had "anarchist" leanings.

That's just one FBI source "rejecting" that. We'll see.

There were also "sources" that denied that Tyler Robinson was a gay furry.



"He's very antisocial. Very," a woman who said she had lived in the neighborhood since 1991 told The Post of Cole. "He keeps to himself."

"He has a dog that he loves," she added. "He walks every day, twice a day, to 7-Eleven with his dog and he wears his headphones."

"He seemed very quiet. He would never make eye contact. Almost like he just didn't see you," added a second neighbor, a man who noted that Cole would "wear shorts all winter long, and red Crocs."

...

Cole's arrest comes one month before the fifth anniversary of the melee that briefly delayed congressional confirmation of Joe Biden's 2020 election victory.

Surveillance footage showed a person carrying a backpack and wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, mask, gloves, glasses, and a pair of Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers who planted what investigators called "viable explosive devices" at the headquarters of the two major parties on the night of Jan. 5, 2021.

Law enforcement officials, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, stressed that there was "no new tip" or "no new witness" that led to Cole's arrest, with the AG crediting "good, diligent police work and prosecutorial work, working as a team along with the ATF, Capitol Police, the [DC] Metropolitan Police Department and of course, the FBI."

FBI Director Kash Patel strongly suggested that a new analysis of cell phone data helped lead investigators to Cole, telling reporters that investigators sifted through "three million lines of information ... you can think about the amount of cell phone data that has to be ingested and triangulated and dumped and received."

"When you develop evidence, you get a search warrant," he added. "When you get a search warrant, you get an address. When you get an address, you hit the house, and that's what we did."

That cell phone data was all available to Biden and Wray -- but they didn't sift through it.

Or... did they?

A neighbor said this guy had "unusually short legs" and a simple gait analysis would prove or disprove his culpability. So Gait Analysis re-enters the chat.

Bondi says the case "languished" under Biden.

I want a full investigation of the "investigation" that Biden and Wray did.


Cole's step-grandfather, Earl Donnette, told NBC News in a phone call that he spoke with the FBI about his step-grandson, but declined to comment further.

Bondi said the investigation into the attempted bombing "languished" for four years under former President Joe Biden's administration.

...
FBI Director Kash Patel credited the U.S. Capitol Police, the Metropolitan Police Department and U.S. Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro for their work on the investigation.

...

Neither bomb detonated, but authorities say both were viable and dangerous.
DC pipe bomb suspect

Video footage released by the FBI showed the suspect placing the pipe bombs near the two headquarters more than 16 hours before law enforcement found them.

The suspect was seen wearing a gray hoodie, Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers, a mask, glasses and gloves, but Cole's identity had long been unknown.


Update: Chuck Ross also wonders why the cell phone data didn't point to this guy sooner:

The most annoying "Reply Guy" content farmer on Twitter says that this guy must be MAGA, but all MAGA people are going to spin it that he's "anything but one of their own," just like we did with... Tyler Robinson, I guess.


I don't think he's MAGA, Brian:

He possibly owns Def Jam records and hosts "Freak Off" parties, but I'm pretty sure he's not MAGA.

#ICE

Eastern Air getting shackles ready for van loads of deportees yesterday at MSP, Minneapolis, St Paul. It was 15* F w/wind chill 6*

These chains connect deportees’ wrists to their waist and holds their ankles together.

In the event of depressurization, they cannot reach for oxygen masks and likely would have difficulty evacuating in the event of an incident on the ground.

This is another example of the cruelty shown by ICE.

Is Michelle Malkin a Trump fan? I haven't heard from her in ages. - Bulg

The last I heard of her engaging in anything of a political nature was when she went with a group out to Portland or Seattle or some such place to show support for the police when Antifa was getting particularly destructive - and she and her friends got assaulted by Antifa while the cops stood by and watched. That would surely be enough to cool my ardor for sticking my neck out.

187 "Four years, 10 months, and 28 days ago, an individual placed a bomb in the vicinity of both the RNC and the DNC, and for that amount of time, that individual evaded accountability."

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

The "bombs" were #Fake and non-operational -- more PsyOps.

[WILLOWED:]

Nobody's explained -- and the MDM-MSM Progda Enemedia and AutoPen Empire were strangely uncurious and not ranting about -- why (1) Kamala was @ DNC HQ where a (#Fake) "pipe bomb" was instead of The Capitol for the electoral vote certification on J6, and (2) how she was in danger of "assassination."

Clearly, Plan B was to use the bomb threat to the VP-"Elect" as proof of the "far right" Trumpets' intention to steal the election by preventing certification -- and shut it down prematurely.

However, the Plan A Fedsurrection outside The Capitol was a (pun intended) "roaring" success -- eliminating the necessity of Plan B.

The Pilgrims had a pretty hard expectation that once you got married you'd have sex pretty much whenever your spouse wants.

I suspect it led to happier marriages and of course a lot of Pilgrim kids...

It's kind of a stretch to say someone named Mohammed is an image of the Prophet, but I wouldn't be shocked if this popped up.

One of Trump’s first executive actions of his second term was to issue clemency to the nearly 1,600 defendants accused or convicted of “offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.” It remains to be seen whether Cole’s lawyers will try to argue that their client is covered by Trump’s proclamation.

There's nothing graphic about that video. It shows, purportedly, Robinson running across the roof, getting to the edge, tossing the duffle bag, then jumping down.

Some have suggested, because he sort of limps away, that the rifle might have been stashed in his pants, rather than disassembled in the duffle bag.

I suppose that's possible. Doesn't appear so to me. I think the limp was because jumping off a roof hurts.

The wind-up timer acts as a time switch, and the 9V battery supplies the juice to ignite the primer. In theory, at any rate. If he was making his own primers, they may have been faulty.

Posted by: Don Black at December 04, 2025 03:00 PM (iEkGv)


Yes. There's a deceptive half-truth in calling them "viable" explosive devices, which just means that the three ingredients were all present -- material, detonator, trigger -- and they could be made to explode. However, the available evidence indicates that would have to be done manually on the spot, and might even require some jiggering by one who knows how.

The trigger device was a short kitchen timer, and they were left overnight; so at a minimum the timers were not set before the devices were placed, and there's frankly no reason for us to believe that they were even hooked up correctly in the first place.

There is an eyewitness who falsely claimed to have seen that the timer on one was set for 20 minutes or whatever; but in one photo it can be seen that only the innards were there, and it was one of those cheapies where the clock dial is on the case. So, that was a lie, which means we cannot trust anything. They could also have been flat-out lying about the devices being viable, instead of a deceitful technical truth.

366 You forget, Chris Wray said, before congress:

“some of the phone data that could have helped authorities track down who was responsible for the pipe bomb was ‘corrupted’ and ‘unusable.’

What the FBI did was fucking simple - they didn't give up. Kask Patel got the resources and the people to unscramble and track the cell data. That got them the suspect, and the shoe receipt. That got them the warrant and the arrest.

The Wray FBI deprioritized it and essentially gave up. The Trump FBI didn't. That is the story here.

Pam Bondi Announces Charges Against J6 Bomber Brian Cole, Jr., Says More Charges May Be Filed

briancolejrvsbomber.jpg
Side by side: Photo of J5 bomber vs. photo of Brian Cole Jr.


Charged with "use of an explosive device," 18 USC s. 844.

Commenters say this guy was tracked via the sneakers he wore on the night he planted the bombs, which were expensive and uncommon.

Neat little side-by-side video of the J5 footage and I guess footage of the suspect himself. This is obviously enhanced by AI, and might be completely fabricated AI.

But this is a breaking news story so I'm going to relax my usual standards of confirmation.

Other commenters asked: Why weren't these rare sneakers tracked four years ago?

Good question.

57 here's the answer. This is also the original video for the song, which was never played in America. I think they did a whole new and more expensive video for the American release.

Bonus about the video: She does twirls at various points which lifts up her skirt and shows her butt, and it's a very cute little butt.

103 OT:

To deal with California state government's collapsing finances, the government labor unions and usual hangers-on have come up with a Cunning Plan - have a one-time tax of 5% on all the assets of California billionaires.

They claim that this would raise $100 billion.

Remarkably, Gavin Newsom is opposing this, because he is running for President, and billionaires are useful when you are running for President.

But it is a demonstration of one of the Two Great Lies that governments tell:

"It's Only Temporary."

and

"Don't Worry, We're Only Going To Do This Just This Once."

P.S. Newsom is busily explaining that the complete lack of reconstruction in Pacific Palisades is all Trump's fault.

Everything about the J6 conspiracy was fake and gay, except that we now know the FBI (and other spooks) were all over the event, and were instigating much of what looked like violent behavior.

Why would anyone think someone other than the government planted these fake bombs?

The fact that the fake bombs didn't become a bigger matter during the four years, seems to me has more to do with the fact they created and exploited everything else that happened that day, beyond their wildest dreams.

They didn't need the pipe bombs to be a thing.

Presumably Stonn would Pon Farr on his own cycle and time and T'Pring would be there. As she pretty much said in her explanation. If Kirk won, he wouldn't want her and if Spock won, he would be away. It was flawlessly logical.

As for Utah's John Sullivan, the leftists here claim that Sullivan isn't really one of them, he's just a "disturbed agitator" that only occasionally aligned with them, and other times did non-leftist stuff. Which no one can identify, but trust them, he's not always on the side of the left!

Despite Sullivant organizing and leading at least two of the Black Lives Matter / Floyd riots that happened in Utah.

This is what passes for news reporting in the 21st century.

Somebody gets famous suddenly, good or bad, and the newsroom employees all get busy on their phones, doing deep dives into the social media posts of, not just the individual, but everyone related to them.

And if you can't find something embarrassing about said individual? Find something embarrassing by someone else who has the same name.

On a similar note, while arguing with people on Trump's narco boats strikes, someone asked why Trump pardoned Former Honduran President Juan Hernández if he's so absolutely ruthless on drug smugglers. I haven't seen an explanation really, just Trump saying he was "treated badly" by the Biden DOJ.

Posted by: bob (moron incognitus) at December 04, 2025 02:35 PM (EJwCJ)


Italy is trying to stop being the bullion reserve for Brussels, the Euro and the ECB. Each member nation has their own central bank, and the thinking is now that the EU has blown all the ECB assets on Ukraine, they are going to want the member nations' Gold to either set up the Euro, or back a digital currency. Italy has the largest reserves of them all, and is suspicious that loaning it may mean Queen Ursula will liquidate the debt by liquidating Italy's sovereignty. Like every Italian monarch, Duke, King, and Doge who find themselves a bit embarrassed since Rome dealt with those damned Etruscans

Clearly, Plan B was to use the bomb threat to the VP-"Elect" as proof of the "far right" Trumpets' intention to steal the election by preventing certification -- and shut it down prematurely.

However, the Plan A Fedsurrection outside The Capitol was a (pun intended) "roaring" success -- eliminating the necessity of Plan B.

Anarcho- is a modifier, like "proximal" "pseudo" or "elderly"

it mean in Greek is "without a king" and is understood "without a controlling superior power" and denotes where in a cultural or political hierarchy power vests.

Anarcho-syndicalism (old school based on the workshop model from the Paris Commune) declares that ultimate power vests in the labor organizations, and provide reasons for this

Anarcho-socialism declares that power vests in a bureaucracy that guarantees distribution of benefits of society

Anarcho-capitalism declares that power vests in the market forces alone.

each one is different, but does declare where the source of overarching power comes from.

388 The Anarcho-syndicalism movement also argued (endlessly) that the reason labor was suppressed was due to the capitalists or at least the factory and farm owners who provided the principal capital to the workshops were exploiting the labor - the source of Marx' criticism of capitalism, and they were the first to argue that the sharpest blow would break the brittle economic construction of the current system and nerve of the oppressive class and allow labor to take it's superior position in economic life and tell the plutocrats how to run their workshops, police, military and banks.

Feds Raid Home Linked to Suspected J6 Bomber, a Suspected "Anarchist"

Whoops -- I was making myself lunch and then eating and never saw this story breaking. I only looked because a commenter said, "still no bomber story"?

I'm putting the Afghan terrorist story in draft while I try to catch up.

Collin Rugg
@CollinRugg

NEW: The FBI has raided the home of 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Virginia, who was arrested in connection with planting pipe bombs before J6.

The arrest comes almost five years after the incident.

According to the New York Post, the suspect may have a background of possible "anarchist leanings."

Nick Sortor
@nicksortor

🚨 BREAKING: The FBI has surrounded a home in Woodbridge, VA where alleged DC pipe bomber Brian Cole Jr., reportedly 33, was arrested this morning

Cole seemingly has very little online presence, and has been described as an "anarchist"

He's expected to be arraigned today.

I'll update the post as I catch up. Sorry, I just was not looking at X for news.

But if the guy is black and connected to DC Uniparty politics (but more likely his dad or step family are) that explains a TON...

As for whether the bombs were real or fake, for charging, you can be charged even for planting fake bombs and the official charges have not been released yet.

But I thought the whole narrative was that the bomb was fake, supposed to be fake, and done as part of the whole Democrap conspiracy to make J6 look far more dangerous than it was. I think we -- or at least I -- expected the "bomber" to be a Democrap staffer or someone.

“People in every age group are less likely now than in 2016 to say they follow the news all or most of the time,” writes the far-left Pew Research. “But older Americans remain more likely than younger adults to do so.”

“For example, 62% of adults 65 and older now say they follow the news all or most of the time. That’s down 13 percentage points since 2016,” adds the pollster. “The decline is similar — 12 points — among adults under 30.”

You will then go out the back door and assume your real identity after the demise of your fake identity is reported due to a tragic accident. You will then be assigned to the field office in Lincoln, NE with a chance for transfer after the smoke clears. Good luck, and here is a $500 savings bond for your dedication".

Well, maybe. But there were also "facts" like the security video of the FBI guys seeing the bomb, acting like they knew it was a toy, not evacuating Kamala out of the building, etc. That strongly supported the "fake bomber" theory.

If we now believe the bomber was real, how do we explain away these facts? Or the fact that the bomb was clearly fake (as has been reported several times)?

We have two theories, both of which are supported by actual facts, but both of which can't be true.

Like I said, I think this goes back to the Epstein conspiracy, that he was running a large Eyes Wide Shut pedo operation in league with intelligence services. When Kash Patel and Dan Bongino failed to confirm that theory, they became liars and political enemies and nothing they say can be believed. Now they catch the J5 Bomber, and it's the same crap about two super-conservative MAGA supporters being secret enemies working for the deep state.

All of which came out of the WH's stunningly bungled response to the complete nothingburger of Plame's dipshit husband's op-ed. Every single part of it was ridiculous, from every angle, but did serve as a tutorial on the degradation of everything and everyone in the Beltway (in certain respects).

273 Bludgeonspeak. I like it.


Bludgeonspeak is the use of invented terminology, or historical terminology that has been hijacked and corrupted, and then emptied of all meaning except as an attempt at moral blackmail.

Here are some notable bludgeonspeak items in 2025: "racist", "fascist", "homophobe", "transphobe", "islamophobe", "far-right". Also, the term "genocide" might not be quite there yet, but it's being pushed in that direction pretty hard.

Some bludgeonspeak terms, like "fascist" and "racist" and "genocide", used to have substantive meanings which have been destroyed by persistent abuse. It may be appropriate to recognize and use those meanings if you are reading or writing or speaking about history.

Others, like "homophobe", "transphobe", and "islamophobe", were bludgeonspeak from birth. There are no circumstances in which these have substantive meaning, and it is unwise to treat them as though they do.

287 One thing to remember about Plame, she was relevant to this because she was the one that suggested her husband to validate claims that Saddam was trying to buy yellowcake in Niger.

His investigation found that they were, but he then came back and wrote a story for the Post saying Shrub was lying. Somehow, this was not a violation of whatever agreement he signed with the CIA when Plame got him selected.

Oh and at the time Joe Wilson was working for...Saudi Arabia. Informally but...openly.

So Plame selected a Saudi agent she knew well to generate a story calling Shrub a liar. Seems like kind of an important detail no?

Oh i get you. First. Epstein has gotta be some kind of op. A high school math teacher becomes billionaire is highly unlikely. But possible. But the add in all the political connections, the island and tbe young girls, the prince andrew stuff, the prior conviction, with a sweet deal, tha the us attorney later noted was related to epsteins relationship with intelligence community.

The advantage to conspiracy theories is that is impossible to disprove without omniscience.

Thus any apparently contrary evidence can via goal post shifting simply become new evidence for a larger conspiracy involving those providing the new information.

And yes, eventually they become exhausting. That being said, the fact that the FBI, CIA, the DoJ, FISA court, Democrats including the President and former Sec of State invented out of whole cloth a Russia Russia conspiracy to spy on and thwart an incoming president is a conspiracy theory that proved to be true.

328 What possible motivation would there be for sinking a boat that *isn't* the Titanic for "insurance fraud"?

If you sink the Titanic on purpose and collect, you lose a big ass ship the bank owned anyway, and are up the settlement amount.

If you sink some other ship instead, now you're out that ship, and the real Titanic itself which is now essentially scrap because you can't just say "Oh whoops nevermind here it is", can you? So instead of being down one ship, you're down two, with no relative upside beyond the difference between the settlement amounts.

It doesn't even make sense internally as a conspiracy theory. It's just... silly. Like saying akshullly JFK was perfectly fine and it was Jackie O who got domed.

If an anarchist, leftist moron enters the fray with fake bombs (which I might add the FBI tried to pass off as real and working) it destroys the narrative or at least dilutes it.

As usual, I'm betting the actual event will not be the most important aspect of this whole thing. It will be the shaping and cover-up or what it really was. It will be interesting to see if the J6 committee has communication addressing this...and what that entails.

Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat
========
My guess is a std. blackpowder pipe bomb which instructions used to be found in certain publications and later widespread on the internet. So in a sense, yes, blackpowder confined in a pipe can be somewhat dangerous as even static electricity sparks can set one off. But my gathering from the different reports is that on at least one of the 'bombs' that the timer was not set as they both used 60 minute kitchen timers and were apparently placed well before those 60 minutes expired. No way unless the bomber planned to revisit them for setting detonation later for them to explode. Dunno if either were defective, incomplete, or never actually hooked up but were meant to resemble a bomb for attention.

The weird guy in Florida who had the pro Trump van had something like those that were not hooked up either and got sent to prison for it IIRC.

Yes, maybe it is.

A lot of us were willing to believe Tyler Robinson shot Charlie Kirk.

Until that became damn near impossible to believe, even without having to go down the rabbit hole of all the strange things that happened after the fact.

Now it appears that Luigi was caught in spite of the fact he was wearing a hoodie and a mask in McDonalds. Still, some people recognized him. And the backpack, in which he was carrying, not just the gun but the confession manifesto, five days after the guy was shot?

That doesn't warrant questioning the narrative?

According to the FBI itself, NO NEW EVIDENCE was found to perpetuate this arrest. None, zilch, zero. That seems odd to me.

Absolutely sucks that my first inclination is to question and doubt the FBI and assume that this is all bullshit. I hate that I've lost complete faith in competent and fair adjudication by our government.

She’s got one of these, I dunno, page boy(?) wigs, makeup like a clown and the vanity license plate on her BMW, it reads NU something. I get out, and here comes Houston’s finest. Officer is trying to calm things down, take stories, etc. Another cop comes to me and asks if I saw what happened. Lunatic lady suddenly targets me and tells me not to speak to cop. Calls me some names. Then threatens me. So I start telling the officer what I saw, and I’m trying to piss her off. I tell him lady with NUTZONMYCHIN license plate was beating the guys truck with an umbrella. Cop is trying not to laugh, lady freaks, cop says “that’s not helpful”. So I then tell him it looks like she flipped her wig. Lady goes apoplectic because this thing on her head looks like a squirrel. Then I tell him I thought she might just be clowning around, and the circus was in town, but then she hit him and I figured it was real. Cop about lost it. lol.

Report: Executive Who Spearheaded Jaguar's Woke Genderbender Rebrand Fired, Escorted Out of Building by Security

Think different you guys

Challenge everything you guys

Cut your genitals off you guys

In case you have managed to forget this Gender Apocalypse Meth Nightmare, here's your reminder:

Here's Gerry McGovern, the Chief Creative Officer who oversaw the effort to turn Jaguar into a trans brand.


Reportedly -- "reportedly" is a weasel word the media uses to mean "other people are reporting this, but we cannot confirm it, so we're just rewriting the original report" -- he's not only been "suddenly" fired, but was also "escorted from the office."


Jaguar Land Rover designer behind woke rebrand 'escorted from office'


Executive was behind pink EV that drew criticism from Nigel Farage and Donald Trump


The designer behind Jaguar's controversial "woke" rebrand has reportedly been dismissed from the carmaker just days after a new chief executive took over.

Gerry McGovern, who was formerly Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) chief creative officer, was told he was being dismissed with immediate effect on Monday.

He was then escorted out of the office, according to reports, although details of his exit remain unclear.

JLR, which is owned by Indian conglomerate Tata, declined to comment.

The turmoil comes just days after PB Balaji, the former finance boss of Tata Motors, succeeded Adrian Mardell as chief executive of JLR.

It brings an abrupt end to Mr McGovern's 21-year career at the carmaker, where he masterminded a revamp of Land Rover's Defender model and the company's line-up of Range Rovers.

He was also the main creative force behind last year's radical rebrand of Jaguar that aimed to shift the marque away from its traditional "Jag Man" image towards ultra-wealthy customers.

...

The backlash was dismissed as "vile hatred and intolerance" at the time by Rawdon Glover, the managing director of the Jaguar brand.

"We need to re-establish our brand and at a completely different price point so we need to act differently," he told the Financial Times.

So apparently the "ultra-wealthy" are the Davos set.

Happy Thursday!

8 Just so everyone is clear on the facts. That 97.5% drop in sales was because - in order to "transition" to an only-EV line-up, Jaguar STOPPED MAKING NEW CARS. Completely. They stopped making cars. Once the stock on the dealer lots was gone, there was nothing for the dealers to sell.

My local JLR dealer dropped Jaguar and merely puts on their business cards "A certified Jaguar Service Center" but no longer sells Jags.

19 The looney-tunes marketing executive isn't the only one that needs to be fired.

The others that thought to completely reject the Internal Combustion Engine and go ALL IN on a still developing and not yet ready (and may never be) technology (EVs) also need to be canned and escorted out.

But they have their scapegoat so I am betting this guy will be it.

Maybe it’s really “Go broke go woke” and maybe have collusion with outside entities to short the stock?

It’s either that, or maybe some kind of subsidized jiggery-pokery? Sounds conspiracy theory yes, but no sane CEO or board of directors can possibly think that putting out a Mother’s Day.advertisement featuring a Tranny selling Gillette razors could possibly be a Great Idea!

None. Not possible, unless they have some kind of plan. Because catering to a fraction of a single percentage point of mentally ill sex perverts and kiddie fuckers is way, way off the beam. They didn’t teach this kind of thing in Business School back in the day, pretty sure.

Gerry Mc was also the lead designer behind everything in the Land Rover lineup since the 1st generation Evoque. It's been and *incredibly* successful brand in large part due to his design language he brought to the brand.

Also, the new JLR CEO is an Indian from holding company Tata motors - and he's a notorious cheapskate cost-cutter. I'm told by JLR insiders that Gerry Mc often bristled at the new environment he worked in under the new CEO.

Also, prior to designing cars at JLR, Gerry designed.... women's lingerie.

103 > We need to re-establish our brand and at a completely different price point

They wanted to crank up the price and were going to justify that by polishing their image? Jaguars already had an undeserved image because of James Bond. Their cars are better than Alfa Romeo and some Audis, but beneath the BMW 5 series and Mercedes E class.

They're well known for coolant issues and overheating. They're well known for timing chain and tensioner failures. They have air suspension failure issues. They have electrical gremlins.

Besides being an idiot for the gay fever dream nonsense, he's an idiot for trying to capture the ultra wealthy with cars that aren't as good as BMWs and Mercedes.

111 I've brought this up before, but pay attention to this line:
" Gerry McGovern, the architect of Jaguar’s 2024 woke ad and rebrand that caused a 97.5% sales collapse..."

There is no way any company dependent on sales survives a 97.5% sales collapse, even if they are a subsidiary of something much larger. Jaguar at best will from now on just be a marquee nameplate for some of Tata's other divisions.
For example, I can see a Luxury nameplate with a Jaguar nameplate on it. But nothing much more than that.

Their great "all-EV" launch is never going to happen, the big new plant in the UK will never be completed.

Again, they *stopped making new cars*. They 100% knew that they were going to have a sales collapse because there were no cars at the dealer to sell. Once the floor inventory sold out, that was it. No more cars. Jaguar was never a high volume brand so their inventory was already small.

It really wasn't a "sales" collapse. The company effectively went out of business. They shut down all sales of gas-powered cars, at a time when they had no EVs to sell either. So if a customer went into a Jag dealer and said "I'd like to buy a Jag," the response would be -- literally -- "sorry we don't have any cars to sell."

And their latest EV has been delayed -- again -- and most likely will never see the light of day. The Indian owners and new Indian management will shitcan the EV dogshit and rush new gas-powered cars to market. They already have successful SUVs and crossovers selling as Land Rovers.

I am praying every night this weird stuff stops because it's basically evil. Trans is the most evil. I ignored the ghey stuff too long, yet knew it was evil. Eyes wide open now, mate.

I admit to dancing with a handsome ghey x-ray tech I knew at a ghey disco. Because we nurses (and student nurses like I was) would go dance there en masse after the "swing shift" or 3-11pm. My bf/now husband got in free. A ghey qween told me I was his competition and I had to pay. It was fun and this was a couple of years before AIDS...which forced me to think about it vs sissy men. I honestly did not dwell on the horrific stuff.

Anyway, the fact that this sis/pan jackass got himself fired for putting strange and ugly people in ugly clothing to try to sell a product is very good and makes me happy.

It’s a uniform. Back in the 60s, someone commented “all the non-conformists look so alike, I can’t tell them apart.”

This isn’t a grass-roots organic thing, neither was the Swingin’ 60s. Hair, dress, immediately set one apart from the “Squares”, as intended. Us vs. Them. Young versus old. “Make Love Not War”, fucking for peace! Free Love!

In the 1980s the homosexuals in San Francisco howled at any suggestion that hygiene played a role in the spreading of AIDS. Hundreds or thousands of anonymous buggery partners was quickly determined to be the cause, but they claimed that venereal diseases were strikes against “sexual fascism” or somesuch.

The leftists are all crazy, and they are shaping public policy for decades now.

199 The whole big picture is kind of funny in a macabre sort of way. You can't tell me that an Indian Conglomerate acquiring and taking over an historically well known British company (always associated with the UK) wasn't partially motivated by what the British did through the British East India Company starting in the 1600's and leading to the British Raj in the 1800's.

Sure, the Indian Conglomerate hoped to make money in the process, but I'm sure there was an underlying feeling of "How do you like it Lymie?" The funny part being that no one is making any money.

252 I like vintage Jaguars. During the plandemic we were in Sun Valley during Octoberfest. Back when people still had to wear masks in restaurants. Once I was finished eating I took our 2yr old grandson in his stroller outside to hang out. I taught him the streetlight colors and we were having a fine time. It does not take much to entertain me or a toddler, same mindset.

A couple drove up and parked to get take-out in a vintage Jag. The guy (who may or may not be famous but looked familiar) and I talked while his female passenger went inside. Blonde and good looking dude. I guessed correctly that his Jag was British Racing Green. He'd had it trucked in for his vacation as so precious. Probably from the 50's or 60's but I am no expert.

I said, well, I would have ridden in it here the entire trip. Then added because I am a redneck and he laughed. Now that car I'd drive. The ones today are nothing special and look like other cars.

Aside from the Jaguar rebranding fiasco, you can’t deny Gerry McGovern did a great job especially with the 2012-2025 Land Rovers/Range Rovers, they all look great

Interesting play. Lose the guy that makes your cars the ones people want to buy despite every other factor against them. Or has Gerry been holding them back getting those other factors right the whole time?

I like the new Defender, I just don’t like the ridiculously complicated engine setup…ticking $$$$ time bomb.

As far as it depends on the Jaguar side, it’s deserved. As far as it depends on the money making side, it’s confusing unless you account for the rear end of the new Range Rover. Then I get that.

Good he was an arrogant moron. he drank too cubing his own Kool-Aid and same out with the jaguar poc. (I don't understand, but it sounds negative and referenced Jaguar)

Jag needs to sell boring SUVs so one day they may produce interesting coupes and sedans again. It's what saved Porsche from bankruptcy. With access to Land Rover models and knowledge, it makes sense.

Evidence was from 2021-2022 - someone always knew who it was, at least in the Biden admin (or could have known if X lead, which was obvious, was followed)...that person(s) may have gotten fired/left fedgov, so an investigation could happen and a suspect could finally be brough in.

275 Branding 101: Sell what you genuinely are, not what you think people want.

I can imagine Hyundai or Kia getting roasted, but getting away with the Jag tranny ad. They don't stand for anything besides utter failure in the 80's and a fairly profitable fast-follower model since their relaunch in the States. But Jaguar is elegance, heritage, history, English autos (for better or worse.) They have something to stand on and promote. This "reimagining" gender-bending nonsense was just kicking themselves in the balls.

278 Just so everyone is clear on the facts. That 97.5% drop in sales was because - in order to "transition" to an only-EV line-up, Jaguar STOPPED MAKING NEW CARS. Completely. They stopped making cars. Once the stock on the dealer lots was gone, there was nothing for the dealers to sell.

At one company I worked at there was one employee (from England) who was an avid hunter and so knew his way around firearms, knives, etc. He got fired for mouthing off to the CEO. Our security guy, who had to escort him out, joked that he hoped the guy didn't come back from his truck with a shotgun.

Turns out, the fired guy was cool about it. He realized he had effed up, and took it like a man.

Not anymore.

Not with the Ingenium engines specifically. They have issues yes - but as long as you change their oil at 10k or less intervals, they have proven to be remarkably reliable. There are some Defenders out there that have more than 300,000 miles on them.

The whole "Land Rovers are junk" came from a period in time before the current manufacturing process were put in place. The Rover V8 was largely a buick engine that was notorious for eating head gaskets. The early air suspension systems were problematic.

These things are largely resolved in modern day LR. The Defender itself is made in Slovakia in a factory where assembly is 95%+ automated/robotic.

Just so everyone is clear on the facts. That 97.5% drop in sales was because - in order to "transition" to an only-EV line-up, Jaguar STOPPED MAKING NEW CARS. Completely. They stopped making cars. Once the stock on the dealer lots was gone, there was nothing for the dealers to sell.

413 That "97%" is misleading, they actually stopped making cars while they retooled from IC cars to EV cars. Grok has more: Jaguar's dramatic 97.5% sales drop in Europe—where just 49 vehicles were registered in April 2025 compared to 1,961 in April 2024—stems primarily from a deliberate strategic pivot rather than a sudden market rejection. The British luxury automaker, owned by Tata Motors, intentionally halted production of its entire internal combustion engine lineup (including models like the XE, XF, F-Type, and E-Pace) by the end of 2024 to transition to an all-electric, ultra-luxury brand. This left dealerships with minimal inventory, creating a temporary product gap with no new vehicles available until the debut of Jaguar's first EV flagship, expected in late 2025 or early 2026. Year-to-date sales through April 2025 fell 75.1% to 2,665 units, and globally, annual sales plummeted 85% from 180,833 in 2018 to 26,862 in fiscal 2024/25, reflecting the broader wind-down.

The Morning Rant: Measures...Counter-Measures...Counter-Counter-Measures...

punk-monkey.jpg

People who think about the evolution of warfare have sleepless nights worrying about drones. Israel and Ukraine are ground-zero for drone warfare...and the pace of technological change is breathtaking! In a few short years we have gone from large drones flying high, armed with a single missile or a few cameras, to swarms of drones with small explosive devices that can overwhelm defenses and destroy multi-million dollar equipment for a few hundred dollars, and reconnaissance drones the size of a paperback that zip around the battlefield providing data in real time (Hello, Yahya Sinwar.)

Counter-measures arrived quickly, which is unsurprising, since the evolution of warfare occurs most quickly during war! But until very recently, those counter-measures were very expensive in comparison to the drones themselves, which are often just modified civilian drones...essentially toys for grownups. Using a $million missile to shoot down a $10,000 drone is a temporary answer, and one that is unsupportable in the long-term. And the smaller, cheaper drones are difficult because of their size, even if an army could field enough missiles.

But along comes Israel's arms industry with an obvious but technologically difficult response: Lasers!

Killing drones for cents: World's first 100 kW combat laser ready for deployment


Israel plans to deploy its first operational high-power laser air-defense system by the end of the year, marking a significant shift in how the country counters drones, rockets, and other aerial threats, the Defense Ministry said.

The system, known as Iron Beam, completed operational testing in September and will become the world’s first combat-ready laser interceptor.

The 100-kilowatt system is designed to destroy targets within seconds and at a fraction of the cost of traditional missile-based defenses.


Obviously this system hasn't seen significant combat, and until it is tested in many battles it will remain experimental. But the basic concept is sound, and while the devil is in the details, improvements in software speed and sensor technology will push this response down to the squad level very quickly.

Drones have the capacity to do tremendous damage to technologically superior forces. Imagine a swarm of drones launched from near our B-2, B-52, or F-35 bases. A few hundred thousand dollars worth of easily procured hardware could conceivably destroy many billions of dollars worth of our almost irreplaceable weaponry in a matter of moments. This isn't World War II, where factories could produce thousands of tanks or planes each year. It takes about 18 months to build an F-35. How many can we afford to lose?

While my personal preference is for a bunch of Midwestern goose hunters to be drafted into the armed forces for drone hunting duty, the future of laser defense is assured. Drones aren't going away, and must be considered an integral part of both offensive and defensive operations.

It won't be long before those airbases are surrounded by a multi-layered defense system that includes lasers to defend against drones. The question is: what comes next? Laser weapons for infantry, or tanks, or helicopters?

10 I don't understand how lasers can take out a swarm of 1000s of mini drones.

I would think you would need a weapon that can direct some sort of field that would fry their electronics. Sort of like what an EMP is supposed to accomplish.

Posted by: Biden's Dog sniffs a whole lotta malarkey, at December 04, 2025 11:04 AM (GvwDZ)

11 One of the challenges I can see for laser-based weapon platforms is ensuring that the system has power. But that would also be true of a ballistic system that relies on computational power for acquiring targets.

Drones just need enough power to reach their destination and deliver their payload.

25 There are some pretty snazzy electromagnetic anti-drone devices out there. They fry the electronics to disable the drone. GPS jamming also affects the drone's ability to navigate.

I understand shotgun type devices (at close range) are pretty effective too.

26 As far as understand it, (I'm not a weapons researcher), lasers greatly suffer from a power issue affecting portability.

Very unlikely to get the "Phased Plasma Rifle in the 40 watt Range" anytime in the near future.

But, on a warship, very doable. I'm not sure how far down the power source can be scaled to put it on a helicopter though.

27 The use of blinding laser weapons as a method of warfare is prohibited by the Protocol on Blinding Laser Weapons, which is part of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW) adopted in 1995.
This protocol specifically bans the use of lasers designed to cause permanent blindness to unenhanced vision, recognizing the severe and irreversible harm such weapons inflict.
While the protocol does not prohibit the use of lasers for other purposes—such as range finding or targeting systems—it strictly forbids their use to blind combatants.
The prohibition reflects a global consensus that intentionally causing blindness in soldiers is a grave violation of the laws of war. You may now continue.

Deploy smoke that is opaque to the laser frequency being used and the laser would need incredible energy to still function (to burn off the smoke)

This would make them a terrible infantry weapon especially.

33 Iron Beam seems like fascinating tech, hope it works. For drone suppression, I'm more hopeful for things along the lines of the Epirus Leonidas HP Microwave system, which in a recent test disabled 49 drones at once.

The challenge militarily is to be able to knock out a drone swarm, not just single drones.

Posted by: Tom Servo at December 04, 2025 11:08 AM (uWKK8)

34 If you can find the drones, you can stop them. There's no reason why each of those multi-million dollar missiles could not be replaced by a $100 drone similar to the one it's intended to stop. It's not even very hard, it's kind of an inversion of the problem of figuring out how get a swarm of drones to not collide with each other.

The problem is that you have to detect the incoming drones and that takes sensors and sensors tend to be both expensive and fragile.

This will be the key for the next decade at least and it is what we are building towards. One system to take out high flyers, another to take out multiple flyers at low altitude. And something else to take out the very low flyers. ( think a drone with a grenade zooming up a street and cutting down an alley kind of low). And then something to down masses of drones.
These systems will include kinetic shooters, electronic warfare systems (jammers), EMP, and lasers.

Fire and forget is something plus channel hopping can make it difficult. From my meager understanding,emp weapons are only semi directional and thus would take out friend and foe unless hardened against it.

Drones, like AI, are a disruptive technology change on par with firearms, radio, or missiles in combat. I don't think we or others have figured out all its implications yet but cheap throwaway weapons that can do mini kamikaze missions, quiet battlefield surveillance, serve as lurking weapons platforms is sort of like a swiss army knife of military usefulness.

So Israel would have to launch preemptive nuclear strike if Iran had the bomb or risk a nuke or two getting through from a missile barrage.

Artillery is a little harder to target, but it has cheap mobility and its fast.

105 Another point in all this so far the more techy savvy western powers have abided by a fairly "humane" use of drones and such.

One could imagine sending a group of explosive/incendiary drones into your enemy population centers - like you can do with bombers, but much more cheaply and it would be very hard to defend against - a few SAM sites would dissuade a mass bombing attack but not a mass droning

106 I predict the equivalent of an EM fence around military bases. They would be focused skyward and be dense enough that any drone trying to fly through would be fried. It would be turned on only in times of incipient war, so as to avoid crashing civilian airplanes.

This brings the total number of MAID deaths since the law's legalization in 2016 to over 76,000. In 2023, MAID accounted for 4.7% of all deaths in Canada, up from 4.1% in 2022,

Since I’ve lived in my current county/city not a single bond measure for schools, fire or police has failed. They all pass with at least 60% and sometimes over 70%.

But there was a bond measure to increase car registration. It was written specifically to allocate the money to construction projects, not to just throw the money into the general fund. It was construction projects desperately needed to alleviate traffic. I voted yes for this. It failed 2:1, lol. It’s like fuck people, you’re fine with hundreds of millions of dollars going into a black hole for “safety and education” but spending $25M to build a couple of bridges and widen some roads is not money well spent?

Dammit, now you make me think instead of glib pronouncements. I think though it is probably the latter. Axioms once adopted are rarely examined again and so you get things like historical determinism when history itself indicates no such thing when examined. You get the constant revision of what is a 'good thing' because no real Scriptures of the left exist to limit and tie down what is good. You get leftist judges making up the law on the fly based on an everchanging oppressed, oppressor weighting using Pokemon diversity points and so on.

If you asked a leftist if their politics was their religion, they would say no, but de facto, it exhibits almost all facets of what we would call religious behavior rather than reason.

Leftism nowadays, or Islam, take your pick, is mostly devoid of reason in its makeup and their overreliance on emotion means it can never become a true faith like Judaism or Christianity. Or perhaps Buddhism though I know only a smattering about that.

They were apparently flying it legally, but once you're over someone's property you're no longer, technically, legal. And hovering at 100 feet watching kids, or someone's wife or whatever... is going to net you one destroyed drone.

227 Apparently, the pipe bomber's shoes may have played a big role in ultimately getting him...NBCWashington (same link as before)

"A team of investigators pored over videos of the suspect and analyzed the person's gait and distinctive shoes. The FBI said in October that the suspect stands about 5-foot-7 and was wearing black, gray and yellow Nike Air Max Speed Turf sneakers. Fewer than 25,000 of the shoes were sold in about a two-year period, they learned."

So, only 25K sold...then if you have a footprint anywhere, you can narrow to size and probably be down to 2.5K (or heck, use the video to size it)...but it still took almost 5 years...

What I found fascinating when I researched Islam was the answer to all "questions" boiled down to... not kidding... "because Allah said so".

My understanding of the Christian God (aka God) is He wants you to ask questions, and to get to know Him and to understand. It's not so much that He wants to *be* questioned, but there is a relationship that gets cultivated in trying to deepen one's understanding through query.

OTOH in Islam the beginning and the end of any answer is Because Allah Said So. And if you doubt or waver, you are essentially committing a crime. It is always the answer and you don't need to know any more than that.

I also find it fascinating that Islam believes in the Virgin Birth. That astounded me, I had no idea.

I just have this viewpoint of the world that it's really big, really complicated, and never able to be...controlled. Oh, sure, powerful people can pull many strings, but they can't pull every string. If they could, the populace would have been controlled long, long ago.

There's so much room for so many independent actors to just do their own thing that coincidentally aligns with the larger goals of powerful people.

Rando in Africa who's now "PatriotAmerican4God" on X, or whatever, doesn't have to be paid directly by powerful people to advance their interests. He doesn't have to be part of some sort of large organization with powerful interests at top.

He can just be a dude with a cell phone, getting his slice.

286 What I found fascinating when I researched Islam was the answer to all "questions" boiled down to... not kidding... "because Allah said so".

My understanding of the Christian God (aka God) is He wants you to ask questions, and to get to know Him and to understand. It's not so much that He wants to *be* questioned, but there is a relationship that gets cultivated in trying to deepen one's understanding through query.

OTOH in Islam the beginning and the end of any answer is Because Allah Said So. And if you doubt or waver, you are essentially committing a crime. It is always the answer and you don't need to know any more than that.

I also find it fascinating that Islam believes in the Virgin Birth. That astounded me, I had no idea.

LeMay was an amazing individual. Don’t go by the leftist media narrative. Be honest, if you know of him at all, it is likely “Bomb them back to the stone age”. Something he never actually said. (Sound familiar?)

He was a true leader, taking flight lead plane as commander numerous times. He had determined that war was a dirty nasty business, and the only way to make it work was to make it as short as possible. He got results on early B-17 bombing missions right away, and quickly got promoted.

He basically re-built SAC and is probably the main reason why nukes were never deployed against the USA during the “cold” war with the Soviets. More than one president didn’t care for him, but he was kept on at the JCS because they knew he was good shit.

Lasers are AN answer, not THE answer.
Lasers are line of sight. Drones are not mindless - they have clever, and in the case of the Ukrainians and Russians, VAST amounts of battlefield experience.

They know how to use hills and trees to block line of sight. They know how to use fiber optic drone to fly a foot above the ground, lurking behind bushes.

30 While they were in high spirits, they shouted, “Bring out Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison, and he performed for them.

When they stood him among the pillars, 26 Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Put me where I can feel the pillars that support the temple, so that I may lean against them.”

45 I have a feeling the actual act of cutting Sampson's hair wasn't near the drama of what this pic presents.

Posted by: Dr. Pork Chops & Bacons at December 04, 2025 09:41 AM (g8Ew8)

46 From: visual-arts-cork.com
"The painting illustrates the moment when Delilah, having seduced Samson, instructs an accomplice to cut his hair, robbing him of his strength.
Samson is shown asleep in Delilah's lap, symbolizing his vulnerability and trust."

"The old woman in the background, holding a candle, is believed to represent a procuress, suggesting the theme of betrayal and the consequences of seduction."

"Delilah's beauty is juxtaposed with the old woman's withered appearance, hinting at the fleeting nature of beauty and the moral implications of her actions.
The statue of Venus and Cupid in the background further emphasizes themes of love and betrayal, with Cupid's mouth bound, symbolizing the silencing of true love."

Abstinence from Wine: The individual must refrain from consuming wine, strong drink, and any products derived from grapes, including vinegar.
Uncut Hair: The Nazarite must not cut their hair for the duration of the vow, symbolizing their dedication to God.
Avoiding Ritual Impurity: They must not come into contact with corpses or graves, even those of family members, to maintain their ritual purity.

FWIW, Story is more complex,
Jewish tradition has a traditional interpretations of this passage.

From Catholic Answers,
"First of all, the famed Jewish Rabbi Rashi points out that what we translate as “little boys” had more than just that meaning. It was also a word that would be used to refer to those without mitzvot (without moral conscience) and thus could refer to any immoral person.

Before the incident where Elisha is mocked by the young men, he had performed a miracle purifying the water in Jericho. A strand of Jewish tradition has claimed that these young men from Beth-el had been making a business out of bringing good water into Jericho and by purifying the water there the prophet had destroyed their business. Their “water cartel” could no longer take advantage of the situation, so they descended upon Elisha."

103 Wojtek (/ˈvɔj.tɛk/; 1942–1963), a Syrian brown bear purchased as a cub by Polish soldiers in Iran during World War II, became the unofficial mascot of the Polish II Corps with the rank of private. Known for his friendly demeanor and unique behaviors, Wojtek often showered, traveled in truck cabs, and wrestled with soldiers. He had his own allotment of cigarettes, which he chewed, and enjoyed fruits, sweet syrups, marmalade, honey, and beer as rewards. Though he sometimes caused mischief, such as rummaging through provisions and stealing female undergarments.

Dense historical subtext as the location was near Bethel and Bethel was a center for Baal worship at the time. There was also the dislike in Bethel accordingly of Elijah for showing Baal to be a worthless entity and that would carry over to Elisha who was Elijah's successor as a prophet of the Lord. Thus, the mistranslation equating young boys with more probably yutes aka teens and/or without a conscience. Hooligans for Baal would be a good description.

This pattern is repeated with Paul in the New Testament. Paul's preaching upset the merchants for the different religions that would lose business if people stopped going to the pagan temples.

Jesus himself upset and drove out the moneychangers and sellers of sacrifices in the Temple. Probably apropos of all religious leaders demanding money for their personal comforts from parishioners or else.

I've seen some. Seems well done but as you note, it departs from a strict interpretation of Scripture at times.

Then again, interpretation of Scripture can be a tricky and disputed thing even for very knowledgeable theologians. That is why sects exists--because someone important enough to get a following made a distinction in doctrine and practice that diverged from another sect.

I would consider myself a Nicean Christian but not very sectarian. Even more so after studying the early churches and their founders.

There's a particularly cold current in the Galapagos that makes it habitable for then.

And the word "penguin" meaning "white-head" in Welsh, was originally applied to the similar-looking great auk. When the Europeans went into the Southern Hemisphere and saw birds that resembled the great auk, they transferred the name to them.

I repeat to myself, whenever reading JJ's morning misfortunes of modern times scribe, "This too will pass".

Slowly getting back to reading religious texts for a project on law that I have put on the back burner for too long. Long time ago, I used examples of canon, Jewish, and even Islamic law texts for a comparative legal systems class that I taught along with legal history in another class.

Reading parts of the Talmud, you can certainly see why Jews traditionally have made superb secular lawyers (and those with a religious bent end up becoming rabbis that use and develop religious law as well). Millennia of studying religious texts as scholars and then applying them to their society ended up creating much of what we know as law in the West today.

224 I saw the tapestry in Bayeux. What I never realized was that it was what we would call today a graphic novel. William the Conqueror commissioned it and had his crew take it from village to village to explain to everyone why William was now their King and why he was the rightful King. One of the panels shows him sitting at the right hand of his cousin Edward the Confessor; William's claim was that Harold, who succeeded Edward, wasn't as closely related to Edward as William was.

I also never realized that the Conquest wasn't a one-shot deal in 1066. It was apparently a much more gradual process.

They are desperately running through a story a day trying to get Hegseth, and save Maduro. Just saw that Daily Beast, I think, is resurrecting a complaint about the Southern Command General who quit (or was fired) at the start of the Drug Boat campaign, painting him as some Great American who was against the "illegal drug boat murders".

More likely was something I saw at the time suggesting that he had developed some very close ties to some notable Cartel figures, and got canned for that. Doesn't matter - what they're really pissed about, besides interrupting the drug trade, is that Hegseth is methodically getting rid of the Biden/Obama leadership and putting new, more loyal leadership in their place.

When I went back to Michigan in June, my rental car was a pushbutton. It's hard for me to get used to that.

Still had a fob to lock/unlock it, though.
Posted by: Bulg at December 04, 2025


***
The 2016 Buick is my first pushbutton start car. I have the fob for the doors, which technique I used for the previous two Buicks. But the '16 Buick has a deal where, if the fob is in range, you press a button in one of the door handles to unlock or lock.

The '15 BMW was more annoying: You could place a finger atop the door handle and the car would unlock or lock. Caused frequent locking/unlocking when I was washing the car -- the water pressure was enough to trigger it.

Samson's supernatural strength came from G-d, "and he 'wist not' that the LORD was departed from him" when his Nazarite Covenant hair was shorn.

I wish they had left that in the RSV.

I only know about the "pisseth against the wall" verses from my Mom. My maternal grandparents were very devout member of the Christian Reformed Church (Dutch Calvinists). Every Sunday, around the dinner table, the six kids would take turns reading passages from the KJV at random. My Mom somehow always wound up inadvertently choosing one of the "pisseth" verses and got embarrassed.

My guess is that she just opened the Bible in the middle and landed in one of the Books of Samuel or Kings, where most of those verses occur.

Then they go over to your car in the driveway and steal it with the app copied stolen key fob encryption.

I moved all of our key about 30 feet away from the front door and made a little faraday cage booth to store them in after that video.

322 I watched a video where thieves have a hand held receiver antenna, and some hacker ware where they go up to your front door, activate your key fobs, and copy the return encryption query off the key fob. Then they go over to your car in the driveway and steal it with the app copied stolen key fob encryption.

Had a '72 Buick Century in High School that operated that way. Coming home from school one day, a buddy reached over and yanked the key out of the ignition while we were moving. Some thing in the switch screwed up and we didn't need the key after that.

Before i got. Rid of it, my '54 Chevy 3100 pickup had a key switch with two poles (not for strippers). Lost the key one day at highschool and just took the wire spiral out of ine of my notebooks and shorted the two poles at the back of the switch to turn on the ignition. No problemo. After that, i carried a six inch piece of wire with alligator clips as my spare key.

The ignition had a slot to put the key in, so I think it was probably wear and tear that the locking mechanism on the key didn't lock any more. But all you had to do was just grab the ignition switch and turn it.

339 I'll admit that the ASS system on the '15 BMW was pretty seamless. Occasionally I tried it and the economy setting on the transmission, and while they worked well together, I hadn't bought the 3 Series for fuel economy. (It got great numbers, by the way.) The car seemed tired, even in slow traffic, when I combined those two.

It would go into ASS mode by design when you put the transmission in ECO; but you could turn the ASS off and it would stay off.

Yes, but that’s because of incessant propaganda. It works. Repetition.

In the 1960s the Ad Council had a campaign called “Help Keep A Good Kid From Going Bad” about keys in the ignition.

Saturday saw one of the larger police actions in the history of the Federal Republic, as 5,000 officers deployed against a leftist mob numbering 25,000 or more. The Antifa network Aktionsbündnis Widersetzen (“Action Alliance Resist”, Social Democrat-aligned labour unions like DGB and Verdi and an array of “civil society organisations” took to the streets of Gießen to protest the founding congress of the new Alternative für Deutschland youth wing, “Generation Deutschland” (GD).

The GD congress itself counted only 840 attendees. Without the protesters and the media coverage, it might’ve escaped mainstream notice entirely.

[Disclaimer: I drive 85,000 miles/year for work as a Medical Courier.]

Reading the Owner's Manual of my current Gen 3 Prius when I purchased it used last year, they noted that if you keep the key fob near a charging mobile phone -- and mine is frequently charging between 45% and 50% battery capacity -- it can prematurely run-down the battery in the fob.

So I keep the fob back in a little compartment in the rear of the car while driving ... as I only have one key fob, and getting new ones made ARE A RACKET, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO IT VIA THE DEALER (like over $300)!

414 Is Ireland Going to Erupt Into a Civil War Over Illegal Immigration?
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks

Euroland is a powder keg and if Ireland goes up or some other country in Euroland, it is likely to spread to other countries in pretty rapid succession.

The EU has become a parody of the old Soviet Union and all the native citizens that are not in the current ruling elite are getting restless. I don't think mindless recitations of climate change doom is going to placate "aux citoyens" about witnessing their ongoing decline in living standards, safety, and society about them. All due to globalist elites making bank while their countries burn down around them.

Ha! Leftists hate remote start almost as much as Republicans. They go to great lengths to ‘splain that engines don’t need to be warmed up. They warm up faster driving, under load.

This is true. But then I point out I don’t warm up the engine for the engine, I warm it up for ME. I watch these dumb asses peering through a baseball sized clear spot in the windshield, wearing a parka, visibility zero. The hell with that. Get the chunks off ice out of the wheel wells and top of the car too. That’s the law, too.

The Morning Report — 12/4/25

WanerMutiny.jpg

Good morning kids. Quite a few things of note to report on this morning, but there are a number of glittering examples of Dem/Leftist chutzpocrisy colliding as they inevitably do with projection that are worthy of note, though so glaring as to be visible even from the surface of a supernova lightyears away.

First we have the perpetually noxious yammering knockwurst known as Joy Reid, declaring:

MAGA Will 'Commit Jihad' For Trump.
First of all, did this dolt not read the memo that Jihad is not a violent act of terrorism but a beautiful expression of internal struggle and reflection by the mostly peaceful peaceniks of Islam? Oh boy, I smell a big fat fatwa for this fathead if she doesn't recant that statement lickety-split. That said, who are the ones burning cities to the ground, shooting up churches, and synagogues, attempting to and in the case of poor Charlie Kirk succeeding in assassinating political enemies as well as CEOs. It ain't MAGAns, Fatso. In any case, as commenter MP4 once quipped, If Trump, and by extension all of us were a fraction of the evil, Hitlerite fascists they claim we are, they'd all have been smoke up a crematorium chimney ages ago.


And then there's this canker sore on the body politic

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: “I Have Inherited a White-Supremacist System” . . . The city’s mayor headlined a conference where activists celebrated armed resistance in Gaza, the Philippines, and the United States.

First, what exactly is being resisted?! The rule of law and sanity. I'd venture to say that Al Capone, at the height of his reign as Public enemy number 1, even with a syphilis-ravaged brain, lorded over a Chicago that compared to today was an idyllic paradise on earth. And how could Johnson possibly have inherited a white supremacist system that exists to suppress colored people of color like him? The closest you'd ever get to a seat of white power is as a toilet attendant at Sheldon (whorehouse) Whitehouse's Whites Only Country Club . . . Unless of course Mr. Johnson you are merely acting as a house you-know-what willingly working as a warder to keep your fellow black and brown folk down! You should be strapped onto a gurney and have JB Pritzker part his cheeks like the Red Sea, and sit on your face after consuming several giant tins of baked beans. There's your white supremacy, pal.


Elsewhere, as CBD and I discussed on the latest episode of the podcast (linked here and in the sidebar as well as on the usual outlets listed below)

The reactions to President Trump authorizing Secretary of War (how I love that) Pete Hegseth to take out the narco-terrorists boats before they can reach our shores with their lethal cargo have been most revealing indeed. Those shouting loudest about the poor innocent drug traffickers are the Democrat Leftists. While the term the War on Drugs which came into the public discourse during the middle years of Ronald Reagan's presidency due to the scourge of crack cocaine that ended thousands of lives and wasted many thousand more in the ensuing years, became the target of much cynicism and ridicule. The bitter irony is that in the main those thousands of wasted lives were black, latino and other primarily Democrat constituencies. That said, considering the toxicity of fentanyl, interdicting its flow into our nation is a justified act of self defense. COnsidering that state actors from Venezuela's Maduro and all the way out to Red China's Xi Jinping are involved in the poisoning of the American citizenry, the word War in this instance does have certain implications and in theory consequences.

And yet, we have to deal with a fifth column in our midst that belches this garbage out:

The latest atrocity that Trump has committed, as far as the left is concerned, is targeting narcoterrorists’ boats in the Caribbean. After all, who will speak for the poor drug traffickers if they don’t? . . . Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Mutiny) and the other members of the Seditious Six are leading this effort, but one of the chief defenders of the poor drug mules has been the vice chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), who is not one of the notorious Six. Warner seems to be trying to make this issue his claim to fame; up to now, he has only been known as the senator from Virginia named Warner who wasn’t married to Elizabeth Taylor. Warner, however, may now have crossed a line he could regret crossing: in a video that began circulating Wednesday, he appears to be calling for a military coup against a duly elected president of the United States. . .

“this is an administration that’s fired, you know, uniformed generals from the head of the NSA, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and I think, um, uh, in many ways, the uniformed military may help save us from this president and his lame people like Hegseth, because I think their commitment is to the Constitution and obviously not to Trump, and I expect Bradley would adhere to that.” Warner was referring to Adm. Frank Bradley, whom Hegseth has identified as the authority who made the decision to order a second strike on the drug boat, about which leftists are in an uproar. Far less clear, however, was what Warner meant by his reference to the military saving us from Orange Man Bad. The Constitution says nothing about the military having any role whatsoever in protecting Americans from a supposedly rogue president. . .

Warner, however, seems unconcerned about the prospect of any retaliation from the man he nevertheless wants us to think is a reckless, vindictive dictator-in-the-making. “This is the biggest crowd of wimps you’ve ever seen,” Warner said Tuesday of Trump, Hegseth, and others in the administration. Wimps, you see, but lawless, fascist wimps who must be stopped at all costs.
. . . Warner was apparently asleep from Jan. 20, 2021 to Jan. 20, 2025, as the Biden regime politicized the entire federal bureaucracy and weaponized it against the regime’s foes. Now he is accusing his enemies of what his own side is guilty of doing. His call for a coup is unlikely to be heeded, but as leftists grow more desperate, one never knows for sure.

It is abundantly clear that, regardless of the very real and persistent threat to the peace of he world and the advancement of civilization, posed by Islam, the greatest existential threat to whatever is left of America as founded — which was the pinnacle of social and human societal development — faces comes from within. It is the anti-AMERICAN Left and its political epicenter in the Democrat Party and its affiliates. Period full stop.

On that note I give you this eye-opening piece from Daniel Greenfield about what our friend and co-blogger the estimable Buck Throckmorton has so accurately and brilliantly labeled as the Philanthropaths, a cross between philanthropists and psychopaths In this case the Macarthur Foundation.

Especially when those children are being sexually assaulted, starved or beaten to death. The police must never be called.

Roberts argues that child protective services is a false front that survives only because any real change would threaten the racial capitalist system she believes it protects. “What it’s really protecting is the idea that this nation cares about the safety of children and the the reason why children aren’t safe is because of their pathological parents, they’re deficient parents. Therefore, you know, why, why have that, why believe that? Because then you don’t need radical social change.” Roberts says.

Same argument as with murderers, rapists and muggers. It’s not their fault. They’re victims of systemic racism. Stop policing them and then surely you’ll have lots of ‘equity.’

Now you can see why Luigi Mangione, Abrego Garcia, the Islamic Gazan Jewish baby roasters and the Narco-terrorists have cheerleaders...

DearLord in Heaven, I need to get drunk, and it's not even 6:30AM...

Have a good day.

Trump has all of the authority that he needs to kill drug runners and congress gave it to him after 9/11. They authorized the president to kill terrorists under the authorization for use of military force in 2001 and they never put a time limit on it. All Trump had to do is declare the drug gangs as terrorists and presto! He can peruse them to the ends of the earth with congress blessing.

One thing they never get around to, what or where is this Utopia system that isn’t based on “White Supremacy”? Can they point to a successful country that is the one we should all strive to emulate? If there is, I’ve never heard it.

These are infantile saboteurs. We like to think of revolutionaries as downtrodden cast off members of society, the most dangerous nutcases often seem to be the heirs to great fortunes. Wrecking things is their hobby, and they have plenty of money to do it and don’t have to suffer any consequences.

So instead of going back to the Original, they think going to the one with a well established track record that has murdered hundreds of millions and guaranteed slavery, misery and death is the rational choice.

• The 17th Amendment -GONE: States need their own representative in the form of a couple Senators. We don't need wasteful redundancy in Congress.

Reversing the 24th would not require states inclined to fraud to institute a poll tax.

She also struck a deal last week with North Carolina to force it to review and fix over 100,000 voters' names on rolls in that battleground state that were added without complying with state law.


Recall that when Georgia recently cleaned up its voter rolls, they found over 90K "voters" who could not be reached, despite numerous attempts.

And then a few months later Stacey Abrams lost the election, and has not stopped whining about those poor, (non-existent) "disenfranchised" voters who were purged.

Imagine if they could purge 100k or more of these dead/moved away/never existed "voters" in every state? Yeah, that's why blue states are refusing.

234 🚨🇺🇸 INDIANA MOVES TO IMPEACH "ROGUE" JUDGES & PROSECUTORS: FINALLY, REAL TEETH FOR PUBLIC SAFETY

Indiana Rep. Andrew Ireland filed a proposed constitutional amendment to let the state legislature impeach judges and prosecutors who go soft on violent offenders.

Repeat killers or rapists get slaps on the wrist, and now lawmakers could boot the enablers out the door.

The push?

It's aimed square at spots like Marion County, where critics say DA Ryan Mears has let folks with rap sheets, like the IndyGo bus arsonist, walk free, spiking fear in neighborhoods.

Ireland's bill would expand impeachment beyond just "high crimes" to straight-up failure to enforce laws that protect innocents, needing approval in 2 legislative sessions before hitting voters.

This is the accountability people've been screaming for.

Soft-on-crime benchwarmers hide behind "discretion," but when their leniency endangers families, it's not justice, it's negligence.

The U.S. would be in the vanguard of this movement, it's due to time to boot 'em, replace 'em with tough enforcers who prioritize victims over perps.

306 BREAKING on DailyMail -

The FBI has arrested a Virginia man in connection with several pipe bombs laid near Capitol Hill on the eve of the January 6, 2021 riots.

Officials have not yet named the suspect, who sources told ABC News is from Virginia.

No further details on the suspect's identity have been released. They have been charged with laying the explosives outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters, which did not detonate.

Law enforcement officials told MS Now that a motive behind the plot is not yet determined, but said the suspect has been linked to support for anarchist ideology.

The arrest marks the first major breakthrough in the five-year investigation that had baffled the agency and sparked a wave of conspiracy theories.

394 The source of the democrats sustenance, their ability to maintain their outrageously sick and seditious rhetoric, narratives and actions and to escape the wider recognition of their scandalous danger to our Republic, is the media. It's the media that covers for them, equally in its exculpatory coverage -- whitewashing the socially disruptive and insurrectionist conduct of the democrats -- as its non-coverage, its calculated omissions, its total blackout of his achievements on behalf of America. It is this that leaves a huge audience predisposed and primed to believe the worst about Trump to insistently maintain their belief in the worst about Trump. I hear a lot about the legacy media's "diminished reach and influence," but this is misleading. However much conservatives have gained in media clout, the mainstream's systemic hatred, smears and assaults against Trump along with its refusal to concede a single point in his favor is what is chiefly driving our growing civil discord.

-----------

When was the last time an NFL head coach made more money than the highest NFL player on his team?

* searches Brave "AI" *

"The last definitive instance of a coach being the highest-paid person on his team likely occurred in the late 1980s, possibly with coaches like Shula, Tom Landry, or Chuck Knox."

The last time an NFL coach likely earned more than any player on his team was in the late 1980s or early 1990s, before the explosion of player free agency and massive quarterback contracts.

. Don Shula, coaching the Miami Dolphins, was one of the highest-paid figures in football during this era.

. In 1990, Shula earned approximately $1.4 million, while the highest-paid player in the NFL, defensive end Reggie White, made about $1.7 million — slightly more than Shula.

. However, for most other teams, the head coach was often the highest-paid person on the roster, especially in smaller markets or teams without superstar players."

429 B/c an H1-B is a slave, and an American 22 year old is not. The H1-B who leaves the job must go home to their third world sh&thole, so will do anything possible at any salary to stay here.

That is probably the most racist statement I will see all day. Or at least a hold-over sentiment that only Union Members can hold a certain job - scabs need to go starve and die or dig canals for their food pellet.

Because a person comes from the other side of the planet that makes them unhuman, or at least not as human as a Gen Z.

So much for "content of character".

This cuntry tossed out the concept of inheritance a LONG time ago. You think that by disavowing the values of a Christian culture wouldn't have a negative effect and turn inheritors into slaves?

This all day. There are far too many stories about parents losing their kids to child protective services over rare diseases and flawed investigations. Parents who had their children taken away because a doctor didn't like his diagnosis being questioned. And now we're on the verge of the system being weaponized such that you get your kids taken away if you don't "affirm their gender." The system DOES need an overhaul, if not outright abolishment. We're talking about the state literally breaking up families.

Probably not. Quantum computing is a different way of computing data but that doesn't invalidate the value of the data itself. There's a lot of hand-wavy promises about quantum but it's not likely, ever, to become something widely used due the difficulty in shielding the qubits. If 'perfected', it'll be useful for government and big labs.

Quantum may replace classic computing eventually, but probably not in most of our lifetimes.

Quantum computers have to be kept at well below zero temps to work correctly. The most recent advances have worked with operating temps around 1 kelvin (-458 F). So it requires some pretty heavy duty equipment to get the temps that low.

Most Quantum will be done via the cloud/data centers until they can figure out how to run them at near room temperature so everybody will be able to run them anywhere.

Quantum is the most overhyped tech right now. It can never replace classical computing. Even once it's perfected, it will only give exponential speedup for a very narrow range of problems.

It will break a whole bunch of cryptography though, so there is that.

"If you forced me to place odds:



~30% chance ever.

~70% chance that reality intervenes (engineering or physics) and we never reach that scale.

These are not fringe views — they're consistent with estimates from Microsoft, IBM, NIST, NSA, and leading quantum computing theorists."

I'm more optimistic than that, but not for any reason that I could argue.

(interestingengineering.com)

According to INL, the project is attracting significant interest from the maritime sector beyond land-based energy applications. Molten salt reactors offer the potential for compact, long-lasting nuclear propulsion systems capable of powering commercial ships with minimal maintenance and no emissions during operation. With the ability to support long voyages without refueling, the technology could transform shipping logistics and energy economics. Support from private industry and continued federal investment signal momentum toward reactor demonstration and eventual commercial deployment.

Researchers highlighted that if successful, the project could help establish a new nuclear propulsion industry, expand US leadership in advanced nuclear systems, and position the technology as a competitive alternative to global maritime reactors already under development

It's hard to sell what - when "given out" for free - people try to tear out with a chainsaw and cauterize the wound with soldering irons.

Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - December 3, 2025 [Shopping Rex]

20251130-G7CBRzFWkAErm5V.jpg

Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the post-cafe overnight variety.

Welcome to the Wednesday night ONT which means another edition of overnight fun and games. Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Good will offerings of amusing puns are happily accepted. Pants are optional. Be nice to your fellow commenters and AoS contributors.

***

"Good evening Morons! Come on down! You're about to get the Wednesday night ONT!"

20251202-the-price-is-right.jpg

***

Are you looking for gift ideas for your favorite Moron? Not sure what to put on the Christmas shopping list this year?

The Wednesday ONT is here to help with the Unofficial and Unapproved 2025 Christmas Gift Guide. We hope you're whelmed.

What gifts are missing from the guide (other than ample ammo)?

***

Has your favorite Moron experienced a canoe accident? Morons seem to be particularly susceptible to suffering canoe calamities. Get them a new canoe but don't spend too much money because anything you buy is likely to encounter trouble as well.

20251127-canoe.jpg

***

The Moose out front knows a lot of things, but doesn't always tell ya what ya need to know. Either way, you're better off with a moose than not (just don't get ones that like to bite sisters).

20251127-Moose.jpg

***

Weasel-san wisdom says "no wobbly shit." Get your favorite shooting Moron a solid shooting table and accompanying bags to ward off wobbly shit.

20251129-ShootingBench.jpg
20251201-20251129-Bags.jpg

***

If you're like me, you have trouble keeping up with the pants rules on AoS. Which posts require pants? Which prohibit pants? Which make them optional? No wonder many Morons drink. Anyway, it pays to keep a pair of pants nearby just in case.

20251201-buc-ees-pants1.jpg

***

Blog life can be dangerous, but we all know that medical help is nearby. Bruise? Scrape? Scope bite? Cigar burn? Headache? Broken bones? Doesn't matter. Slap a hot iron on it. Available in both cordless and cord-equipped versions.

20240331-Antique Various Flat Irons L84.jpg

20251127-medium_smg00248136.jpg

Worth more than precious metal when ya gotta go. Tradable for drinks, food and the jukebox. Also can slide beneath the leg of a wobbly table in a pinch. It is...the Club ONT Restroom Token.

20251201-IMG_20251201_163042424.jpg

When the 39 foot animatronic T-Rex is out of stock, the next best thing is a 19 foot non-animatronic T-Rex. Not ideal, but we all have to make sacrifices when times are tough.

20170708-BBOE19_FT_Dinosaurs.jpg

***

Where is that darn Wumpus? If your favorite Moron has been hunting everywhere without success and keeps being late to the ONT, help them out with back issues of Compute! Magazine for cheat codes.

20251127-Compute-HuntTheWumpus.jpg

***

Is your favorite mechanical Moron in need of a supply of sockets? Is the right socket size always somewhere else when needed? This Advent Calendar comes stocked with a socket (or several) a day. By the time Christmas arrives, they'll have a full set! The calendar even comes with extra 10mm sockets. This particular example came from the seconds bin which explains why it was half off.

20251130-image(7).jpg

***

Did your favorite Moron grow up thinking "When I'm older, I'm going to have a proper slingshot!" Look no further. Batteries not included.

20251108-slingshot.jpg

***

With the risk of Yoko lurking beneath every link and mystery click, the only sure defense is deployment of the dark arts. This anti-Yoko cloak and specially designed ear protection is the only known anti-Yoko defense. Better results when worn together. Less powerful on Mondays for unknown reasons. Available at your favorite shops on Daigon Alley.

20251204-cloak.jpg

20251204-ears.jpg

***

I didn't realize that ping pong had fallen out of favor. Is this what the kids do these days? Fun for the whole family!

20251125-20251124-IMG_20251124_171322182.jpg

***

Get your favorite Moron a Super secret AoS membership card to recognize their dedication to the site!


[If you are a member in good standing, a picture of your card will appear here. If not, you are behind on your dues or you have a blot on your permanent record. If that is you, please send two Club ONT Restroom Tokens by email. Allow 4-6 weeks. Nothing will happen but gotta restock the supply somehow. Thank you.]

It's cleared up nicely outside, and I went out to look at the Moon and etc. The Cold Moon is high enough that I had to crane my neck, which reminded me this damned RA is slowly doing it's TLC on it -- I'm getting some mild early symptoms of pinched nerves, which is more annoyance.

Orion is up, with Sirius below. The Alpha Big Dog is doing it's red to green twinkling thing nicely now. And Jove is up there as well, shining quite bright. Chilly and peaceful it all was.

73 Funky. I didn't know how deep into "Our Love" New Order had got. (This is the first time I'd heard it.)
I've been in a rabbithole on early New Order lately. Apparently "Blue Monday" started as filler which they programmed after the band's actual set, so they could slip away and drink beers before going back for the encore. So, for this beat, they just filched from everything, like Donna Summer, and Kraftwerk too. It wasn't supposed to be a real song.
Eventually they'd stolen from so many other songs that nobody even noticed the Frankenstein monster of old disco b-sides and Eurotrash.
And then they released "Blue Monday" at a literal loss and everyone... kept buying the single. Cost Factory Records a fortune.

Almost certainly a replacement cord.

I have such a cord on my grilled-cheese sammich press, which still makes awesome sammiches.

Radios were interesting, everyone wants to install a polarized plug on the old school radios. Except, that’s not how it works.

For one, the chassis will be “hot”, either when the radio is ON or OFF if it is plugged in, depending on which way the plug is inserted.

No way around this unless you rewire the chassis. It will usually have a noticeable slight hum if the chassis happens to be hot when ON. Flip the plug in the outlet, and avoid using in the tub, or cement floors in your stockings.

It is a surprise to get a jolt when touching a chassis while grounded, and the device is OFF. It isn’t defective, that’s just how they made shit back then. Be careful, went the thinking

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at December 03, 2025 10:18 PM (npFr7


Part of my personal rehab for a broken and set right shoulder was to teach myself how to use a sling - a David sling, or Balearic sling I guess you could call it.
I was down at the river tossing as many rocks as it took to make my shoulder hurt life fire. I almost always hit the water, and the best rocks were the round or almond shaped ones, they flew the best.

Here is Alison Krauss nailing a Christmas song in one take...she is that gifted.

The Wexford Carol, is an Irish Christmas carol from the 15th or 16th century.

Her voice is unchanged in the over 20yrs since I first heard her. We had the great honor to see her and Union Station under the stars in July this summer. Alison Krauss has the ethereal voice of an angel on earth. I hope you enjoy this.

May God bless you all this Advent season. This is the week of Hope.

Dad grew up in Grandpa's gas station. Grandpa said you sell the same gasoline as the guy across the street, so walk, do not run to the island, check the fluid and tires all around, and keep the toilets clean because you make money from service.

Will have to check out the MV museum. I have been to the Cody Center, years ago. The Royal Tyrrell is an easy one hour drive from stately Peon Manor. Any Morons planning a summer road trip to Alaska, most likely you will be passing quite close by. I have room to park several RV's, and could rig water and electric. There is a free sani dump in town. Would be happy to take a party on a tour to Drumheller and the museum. Some interesting old coal mine sites nearby, too. And the Last Chance Saloon in Wayne is worth a visit. Eleven bridges, mostly single-lane, on a 5 mile road.

The ones in the Midwest had a big hive that was partly in the store (like a reverse bay window).

You could actually watch the bees through the glass crawling around on the honeycomb.

There was also just a little entrance hole on the exterior of the building where you could watch an endless stream of bees come and go. They were quite polite in allowing others to pass before taking their turn.

My father showed me how to make what he called an "Indian sling". Maybe just a B.C. coastal thing. Get a 3 to 4 foot piece of Western red cedar, maybe random driftwood, or split off a log. Red cedar splits very easily, hence its use for roofing shakes. So you take this stick, bind it tight with twine maybe half a foot from one end, and split that end with a knife. Wedge a suitable pebble in that split (the twine binding makes it grip tightly), and make a baseball swing with the stick, ending abruptly with the stick pointed at your target. Off flies the pebble, with great force. Kind of like an atlatl; a means to extend your arm, and increase the velocity with which you can throw.

No. Real radium was too expensive for things like that. They used phosphorescent minerals or dyes, like zinc sulfide. Charge 'em up with daylight, and they slowly release some of the stored light.

229 Hello, Horde! 😊♥️

Had my MRI today; see the oncologist tomorrow, the surgeon on Monday, then on Thursday (12/11) my surgery is scheduled.

Just in time.

There appear to be some new spots in my liver; the lymph nodes still look clear, though. This means that the cancer is figuring out a way around the chemo. The doctors will be starting me on a new regimen after the surgery, in hopes that it may buy me some more time. There is currently no "cure" for this type of cancer; doctors and patients just play whack-a-mole with the beast as long as they can.

242 Radium has a sordid history. One particular huckster was selling it as a tonic, radium infused water for “health” purposes. It was kind of a fad at the time, anything with numbers - clocks, radio dials, even house address numbers, got the Radium treatment.

Thorium was used to soak lantern mantles with for brighter whiter light. Not too dangerous maybe, but in Europe the manufacturer made the lantern mantles as a side gig, their main product was Thorium toothpaste. Not too sure about that. I think they use Yttrium now for lantern mantles. I gotta say the old school Coleman Silk Lites are much, much brighter than modern mantles. Better living through Chemistry!

Probably not. If you turned out the light at 10PM, and you could still see it a 4AM, it might have been, and if it was, it was probably dangerous because almost anything they could use prior to the mid-60s was a gamma ray source.
I had a National.Semiconductor watch in the 70s that used a tritium capsule with some fluorescent material behind the display to light it. It was useful in the dark for about 7 years. I could detect a glow in a dark room 12 years later, but not good enough to read it. That was harmless because it was only a beta emitter (no gamma rays, and when it finally wore completely out, all.you had left was ordinary hydrogen.

I'll bet they have plenty of wrecks where some durka-durka truck driver gets his rig wedged into an alley to narrow for it. Ever see that compilation video of some low bridge, maybe in Maryland, with dumb-ass truckers ignoring the plentiful bright warning signs, and hitting it at speed, ripping the top off their trailers?

I do wonder how it will play out economically, having 45 states doing pretty well while 4-5 states fall into a near depression.

Phoenix is only about 12 hours by road from the oilfields of the Permian Basin in Texas, around Midland/Odessa. They probably truck in fuel from there already. For some reason, cheapest gas in Arizona is in Eloy, near the junction of I-8 with I-10.

On a Ram.pickup with the Cummins, even going through the wheel well, the filter has to be tipped about 60 degrees to get it out, so you always dumped oil. Somebody makes a plastic cap that screws into the filter and covers the entire top. Even if you tilt it a lot, only a drop or two escapes. Because its plastic, I imagine it'll wear out in 15 or 20 oil changes, but on the Cummins, that's about 150k miles. My neighbor has one, I'll have to find out where he got it. I've always had other work needed done so the garage has done my last 4 oil changes, but I should be doing my own next change.

I have to do shit like that with the harleys. The filter on most of them are in front of the engine down low right over the front motor mounts, and the filter is sideways. They make all kinds of weird tray-like gadgets that keep the oil from dripping all over the front of the motor, but they don't work. We use the heavy duty tin foil and slide it under the filter. Same with the drain plugs on a lot of the 5speed transmissions with are on the side facing out so it leaks all over the frame. Again, tin foil to the rescue, we wrap it over the frame and form it into a little chute. The oil tank drains on the softails are great, it actually has a permanent drain hose with a plug attached. Unclip the hose from the frame, out it over the pan and pull the plug.

In April 2012, The New York Times was granted access for a laudatory inside look at “Terror Tuesday” meetings in the White House:

375 Y'know what? Wandering off to watch videos really cuts into my ONT comment-perusing time. Last read back at #150. You chatty Morons.

Tonight, YooToob sidebar recommendations caught me with Star Trek First Contact. Some of it was silly. Some of it was good. I wanted Zefram Cochran, at the end, to say, "That'll do, pig."

Speaking of who played what where, the character "Lily" was played by the same actress who was Bill Murray's secretary in Scrooged. I've sometimes thought of jumping from one movie to the next based on some actor in both. This would be a good time to start. 'Tis the season to watch Scrooged again.

Actually, it's playing in theater on the 16th. That's how we first saw it in first run. Where Murray breaks the 4th wall and addresses the audience actually worked pretty well in an actual theater back then. Be nice to have a good crowd to watch it on the big screen again.

But time has passed and bed beckons.

376 Puddle, all the Allied powers signed the document. So the Dominion of Canada signed, but the rep (who lost an eye in WWI) signed on the line for France by mistake; I think the French rep signed on the Canada line as that seemed most logical under the circumstances.

Kase (Yoko's uncle, junior diplomat there assisting the foreign minister) noticed the error and convinced Gen. Sutherland, Mac's deputy who was running the event, to make hand corrections (he crossed out the printed country names and wrote in the ones that matched the signatures).

What's amazing and so perfectly Japanese is that the surrendering country noticed a technical imperfection and sort of insisted it be fixed - even though *they* were surrendering. Perfect.

Dude couldn't even lift a battery into his trailer compartment this Spring-- I had to do it for him.

Let him stay a couple days, take a shower & do some laundry... he never offered to cook, but expected breakfast and lunch. Never offered to help in the yard, but expected me to help him fix his truck and trailer-- which I really didn't mind doing for him-- it's just that he (like their father) had this idea that wimmens have no *say*. And that's why he wants to speak with hubby. Thinks hubby will order me to do whatever. LOL! Not!

She scampered back down the ladder like she did it routinely. She would also climb an 8 ft wooden fence and I had to bury and wire cinder blocks to the bottom of the fence because she would dig a 2 ft hole under the fence and escape.

40 When my dad was a teenager living in Seattle, they had a dog that climbed ladders, among other things. The busybody neighbor across the street called Grandma to tell her there was a dog on the roof. Grandma didn't believe her. Dad was up there fixing something, and Sitko just appeared. So, he let Sitko back into the house through a dormer window and went back to work. Sure enough, the lady calls again, and Grandma goes outside to look. Sitko is sitting on the edge of the roof, proud as a peacock.

Some dogs are irrepressible.

The best Texas style BBQ I ever had was in ... California. About 30 to 40 minutes from DLI. Place was a hole in the wall run by a Texas expat (long haired Vietnam vet). There was always a line (half hour wait minimum), and no one was complaining. That was 30 years ago. Probably long gone. Best BBQ I ever had in my life.

At the risk of being a traitor to my homeland, I actually prefer the Carolina style BBQ to Texas BBQ, except the that place near DLI, which was a kind of BBQ Nirvana. I've made my peace with having climbed the mountain never to return.

Always stunned at how large those things get.

I once drove (speeding @ 85+ MPH as I was running late for a meeting) overnight from Bangor, Maine to Halifax, Nova Scotia -- and was terrified that I'd hit a moose and it would go right through the windshield.

I subsequently learned that there was chain-linked fence on either side of the highways and they'd built wildlife-crossings underneath the roads to prevent such accidents.

Even here in Northern AZ, every now and again (around Flagstaff) a car will hit one or more elk -- usually at night -- at a high rate of speed, causing one or more human fatalities.

Hiked Mt. Humphries (the highest peak in Flagstaff) five years ago; started at the Snow Bowl (ski resort parking) lot @ 9500 ft and climbed another steep 3000 ft to 12,500 (with like three psychologically-painful "false peaks" (you think it's the summit, but ... (Psych!").

Only time I ever got altitude sickness (virtually every joint in my body was cramping and I was getting tunnel vision -- but I swore I'd either summit or die trying). Amazing views: you could see the North Rim of The Grand Canyon.

Haven't made it to Mt. Lemmon yet, but know it has Ski Valley -- the southernmost ski destination in the continental U.S.

130 The corn-eating kitty is an Abyssinian. One of our Abys also loved corn on the cob. At first I thought he was just after the butter, but no -- he gnawed off the corn and ate it! He was not so rude as to run right up on the table and grab it, though. It was placing paws on the leg with a meow. We went through the usual bit of holding the food item of interest out to him so he could sniff it, while saying, "See? It's CORN. Little kitties don't like corn." Usually that was the end of it, but not that time! Picture our surprise...

156 Malinois are not for the feint of heart, but boy are they smart.
Posted by: Piper


I know I've mentioned it before, possibly more than once on the pet thread, but we got Daisy the madcap Malinois without knowing what we were getting.

Some kids came by, going around this rural neighborhood, to see if this dog belonged to anyone. She was found running down the highway, no tags, no chip. I asked to take a look at her, and she ran up and licked me, just one not-too-slurpy lick on the face. ❣️ She was not full grown yet. A vet had identified her as a "part German Shepherd mix."

Since our good ol' last boy died, MiladyJo and I had considered following the advice of Morons about going to the shelter to look for a low-maintenance old dog that we, a couple of well-over-29-year-olds could handle. But we got this active little pup instead. Only after we took her in did our son identify her as a Belgian Malinois. Looking up YooToobs of Malinoises, we realized what we were in for. !!!

She still has a wild streak, and keeps us exercised, but she is so sweet, and also loyal and defensive of her family. And, yes, very smart. A little too smart at times!

Tomorrow night is the full Moon, but it's close enough tonight you can't tell the difference. This full Moon, the last Moon of astronomical autumn, which usually occurs in Dec, is dubbed the Cold Moon. The Cold Moon of the Long Nights.

The full Moon, being opposite the Sun, does just the opposite. When the Sun is high, the Moon is low, and when the Sun is low near the winter solstice, the Moon is high. And due to the vagaries of the lunar orbit, the Moon can get higher and lower in the sky than the sun can. It's on a higher part of the 18.6 year lunistice cycle now, so the Moon will be a few degrees higher the the summer sun.

And so moonlight, like sunlight in summer, will be maximized, the opposite of the short days of winter. Hence, Cold Moon on the Long Night.

Daughter just called. She heard from the father of a friend and cheerily asked, how's Friend? only to find out she'd died last March. Cancer suddenly recurred. Daughter said maybe she should go on Facebook more often.

Methodist Pastor Has Had Enough of Jesus-This and Jesus-That, So He Makes His Homily About the Only Thing That Really Matters, His Trans Identity

There is no "I" in Jesus.

But a lot of leftists spell it that way.

A Methodist pastor in upstate New York turned a Sunday church service into a personal announcement ceremony, telling stunned worshippers that the 51-year-old spiritual leader is now transitioning and no longer identifies as male. Rev. Phillip Phaneuf of North Chili United Methodist Church in Rochester delivered the news while draped in a rainbow stole, declaring, "I get to announce with joy that I'm transitioning," and later adding, "I'm not becoming a woman, I'm giving up pretending to be a man."

The pastor also told congregants that a new identity--"Phillippa," with she/her pronouns--will now be used, and that hormone treatments have already been underway for three months.

Phaneuf went even further, announcing a shift to asexuality and telling the church that romance has never been a focus: "I'm in the category of what they call asexual... I am not living my life in a way that involves looking for romance." The message, delivered from the pulpit, was treated as a moment of celebration inside a denomination that has recently rewritten its doctrine to align itself with progressive gender ideology. The United Methodist Church reversed its previous teachings last year and now describes sexuality as a "sacred gift" for all "regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity."

Phaneuf told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that the congregation has been "overwhelmingly affirming," and noted that the bishop was consulted beforehand and offered full institutional support. Any questions about pastoral duties were brushed aside with assurances that nothing will change spiritually--aside from the pastor's name, voice, appearance, and presentation as the hormone regimen continues.

Well, and every homily will be about his Gender Journey, of course.

In more trans-affirming news: A transgender "woman" was found guilty of child sexual abuse.

His victim refused to address him by his suddenly-minted "she/her" pronouns.

The especially-fake transgender -- this is one of those get-caught-raping-a-child, suddenly-discover-you're-a-gal "transitions" -- claims to be the Real Victim Here and says the jury was "hypnotized" into believing he's some kind of rapist.

A trans woman named Natalie Wolf was convicted of molesting a 13-year-old girl by a UK court yesterday. Wolf was a man named Ryan Haley at the time of the attack and was addressed as a woman throughout the trial. However, when it was her turn to speak, the victim refused to address Haley as a woman, instead using the name of the man who had attacked her.

The victim, who is now an adult, feared she would be raped by Wolf, during the attack in Sunderland, England, and told the court her "shame and self-doubt" led to her not reporting the abuse, according to the report...

"I know you as Ryan Haley, a man who sexually abused me. There are few things more isolating than living in a body you don't feel safe in. I've carried shame, self-doubt and a sense of disconnection from myself," the victim told Wolf...

"Ryan, you destroyed me as a child, a teenager and an adult. Today you are finally going to face justice. Today, Ryan Haley, you are going to get what you deserve," the statement concluded.

Wolf was convicted of sexual activity with a child and sentenced to three and a half years in a male prison.

Wolf/Haley represented himself accused the victim of lying and the jury of being hypnotized. The judge made a point of saying Haley had shown no remorse and seemed to be under the delusion that he was the victim in this case.

This is in the shithole country the UK, so maybe there is some hope yet.

THIS is why we left the church in FL where we raised our sons. A Presbyterian PCUSA church, the liberal branch. To not be confused, there are other Presbyterian denominations like PCA and Orthodox who are Bible believing churches.

I raised some stink eye from the pompous poobah's from Orlando at a meeting of over 200 members. We were being lied to. They were avoiding questions. My mic was cut when I asked about how they stood on abortion. One of the poohbah's, recognizing a redneck, came over to me at the break to try to smooth things over. It did not work and I was not being bad because one of our sons was next to me and would have elbowed me.

The gay, lesbian, transgender children and other sodomites, as well as undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers. He responded by killing innocent brown fishermen and cutting off SNAP to starving families and children. Jesus spoke to us from her heart and she admonished those who seek wealth at the expense of others. Hopefully, my USAID grift will be reinstated!

60 Meanwhile, because I am on a tear, I found an article I read decades ago from an old email, and sent to Mark Steyn and others. Defending Western countries against the invasions of barbarians post 9/11/01. I don't have a link, but perhaps someone can find one. I will transcribe as I can't copy/paste:

"A famous "moderate," Dr. Zaki Badowi,the Egyption director of the Muslim College in Ealing,has written:"Islam endeavours to expand in Britain...It hopes that one day the whole of mankind will be one Muslim community, the Ummah."

In 1999, the Vatican hosted a conference of Muslim and Christian leaders, attended by the Titular Archbishop of Smyrna.He reports that a muslim participant was disarmingly frank about the purpose of islamic settlers in pluralistic Western socities.Addressing the Christian delegates from Europe, he allegedly said,"Because of our religion, we will invade you; because of your democracy, we will destroy you."

Because of our democratic laws, murderers like the one last week in DC use the "not guilty" in court. They play with our laws to suit them.

It is happening in the UK and Europe...for decades. Building in numbers, controlling voting blocs. Ignoring warnings

While Mr. Rainbow Nitwit thinks it went well, I am positive people left the next day. I would have stood up and cut off his mic. I nearly stood up on the day of the vote in our large church, as the assistant "pastor" said it was because of not welcoming gheys in church.Baloney. I never knew who was gay or cared. The vote against the Presbytery was because of puttin gheys like this ugly freak in the pulpit.

I am sure it was rigged vs 50/50. But we lost by a small margin to leave the denomination. Neither the traveling pastor nor this woman would meet my eyes (I really do shoot laser beams) that day as I tried to look them in the eye.

The following Monday over 20 couples, all well known, requested to have our names removed. We were two of them. It was horrible.You find out quickly who your real friends are.

Please keep in mind that until 2014 I never thought in my lifetime I would have to declare my faith in public in our own church of over 500 members. But I did when I had to.

145 Hello, Horde! 😊♥️

Stuff like this crappie is why this lifelong Methodist bailed on the church many years ago. All they seemed to care about over the last couple of decades is the cutting edge of Progressivism.

Now they aren't allowing congregations to split from the UMC - I think they were losing too many of the churches that actually met their financial obligations to the la4ger church body, so they put the kilos on "deserters".

The idiots in charge seem to think that will keep parishioners in the denomination, and thus keep their coffers full. Joke's on them - people are just leaving anyway, and finding new church homes outside of the Methodist doctrine. Taking their money with them, too.

Pelosi was barred from Communion in her home diocese. Has been for a while. Biden was publicly refused the Eucharist when visiting other parishes, but his bishop refused to take a stand.

And yes, it is noticed that the bishops are all worked up over deportations, but see nothing wrong with providing the Eucharist to politicians whose hands are red with unborn infant blood. Archbishop Cupich wanted to give an award to Dick Durbin, whose own bishop has barred him from Communion, and had to back down because of the outcry.

Problem is that they own a LOT of Land... My Parents helped build the Methodist Church here... worked in the Church for decades.

There are stained glass windows and a Pew, that have our Families name on them... I sang in the Choir, and was an alter boy for awhile.

All the old Families that belonged to that church, are now gone, and I don't know how the local church is taking in enough from the very small congregation to keep its doors open EXCEPT, they don't pay any taxes on what would be very very expensive property.

Of Course: Biden Created a Special Exemption So That "Low-Level" Taliban Officials Could Migrate to the US

Yeah they're Taliban -- members of the radical cult that sheltered bin Ladin and floods the world with heroin -- but they're "low-level" "civil servants" so I'm sure they're cool.

BTW, why would Taliban civil servants have to flee the Taliban?

It's almost as if the Democrats just want to fill the US with foreign terrorists because they believe we should all be equal in poverty, misery, murder and terror.


Biden administration created exemption for many low-level Taliban 'civil servants' to come to U.S.

Amidst renewed scrutiny about the poor vetting of Afghan refugees in the wake of the debacle in August 2021, a review of a little-known Biden Administration policy allowing former Taliban government workers to come to the United States is taking center stage.

By Jerry Dunleavy


The Biden Administration implemented a terrorism exemption for Afghan refugees allowing hundreds of low-level "civil servants" from the Taliban government to resettle in the United States in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal and evacuation from the country.

The Biden-led Department of Homeland Security and State Department announced in June 2022 that it had put together new exemptions for purportedly vetted applicants who would otherwise be blocked from the United States -- including some former Taliban government workers. The policy allowed hundreds of Afghans to come to the U.S. when they would have previously likely been barred due to terrorism-related inadmissibility grounds (TRIG). This reportedly allowed hundreds of former Taliban government workers to come to the U.S.

The exemptions were for Afghans who had worked as "civil servants" under the Taliban (both before 9/11 and after August 2021), as well as for Afghans who "supported U.S. military interests" such as participation in resistance movements against the Taliban or the Soviet Army and for Afghans "who provided only certain limited material support to the Taliban or other designated terrorist organizations."

The Biden administration agencies said that the "new exemptions may apply" to "individuals employed as civil servants in Afghanistan at any time from September 27, 1996 to December 22, 2001 or after August 15, 2021." These time periods covered both the Taliban's first stint ruling Afghanistan -- when they protected al-Qaeda before and after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and were subsequently overthrown following a U.S. invasion -- and the Taliban's current rule of the country in the wake of the disastrous and chaotic U.S. evacuation in August 2021.

...

The agencies said the exemptions did not include Afghans "who held high-level positions, worked for certain ministries, or directly assisted violent Taliban activities or activities in which the individual's civil service was motivated by an allegiance to the Taliban" nor Afghan individuals "who share the goals or ideology of the Taliban, provided preferential treatment to them, or who intended to support the Taliban through their activities."

The State Department and DHS under the Trump administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether they would maintain this TRIG exemption for former Taliban government workers.

"President Trump's State Department has paused visa issuance for ALL individuals traveling on Afghan passports," Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on X on Friday. "The United States has no higher priority than protecting our nation and our people."

Jordan has already had 'refugees' try to take out the Jordanian government (see Black September), Egypt just fought off and removed the asshole Muslim Brotherhood and has Gazan Hamassholes next door and on their other border, the Libyan mess.

They should have been left. It is not the fault of the US that they chose not to fight it out for their country--we gave them twenty years of treasure and blood and the fact they could not stand up after that speaks to Afghani internal problems rather than the US.

I am really fascinated at how brazen these neo-confederates are in their efforts to keep their slaves.

And when one of theirs kills an ICE agent (and I'll bet that was who the Afghani terrorist was targeting in DC), what will they do?

I'll add this: I think we are wrong that the Seditious 6 were speaking to the military.
I think they were speaking to Antifa, who view themselves as the true military to protect our democracy.
They are the ones most eager to have official sanction to execute "fascists" for illegal orders.
They have been yelling it at every one of their protests.
And now they have sitting Congressmen telling them "we got your back" ....

No, wait. Go buy me a sandwich. I don't have time to wait for you to learn how to make one.

What a piece of work that one is. Now, she's still stuck in what she imagines to be the hellscape of Tennessee (No D.C. for you!)

You know, Matt Van Epps' campaign theme song should have been Confederate Railroad's "She Never Cried"...

She never cried when old Yeller died
She wasn't washed in the blood of the lamb
She never stood up for the star-spangled banner

Her baby, blue eyes hid the warning signs
That woman was bad to the bone
She never cried when old Yeller died

Signing the order is one thing. However, to enforce such nonsense, the City is obligated to mark it properly. So, congrats Minneapolis taxpayers. You just acquired something else to pay for.

Also, public parking spots are considered (under precedent) as a public accommodation or service. Public accommodations and services can not be discriminated upon under law. It's known as Equal Access.

The Shot: Sabrina's original comments
"This video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."

The Chaser: the WH response
"Here's a Short n' Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won't apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country."
The representative added, referencing lyrics from Carpenter's hit song "Manchild": "Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?"

88 And of course it was already known, to the extent anything is "known" in epidemiology, still a young and fairly rough science, that "mitigation" (including lockdowns) are ineffectual against the type of pathogen involved in 2020 (an influenza-like illness, or ILI, that was readily transmitted and already "prevalent" - which has a much more expansive definition than assumed).

There's video of a panel of top epidemiologists, a few years prior to 2020, discussing just what strategy they might pursue in the case of a serious epidemic just like C19. The discussion wasn't about "policies", which of course were known to be irrelevant to outcomes, it was about how to talk to the public, who *expected that "something could be done!" to help*.

In other words, a workable PR strategy to hose down an ignorant, demanding public, shut them up while things ran their course. Which is the only outcome of such epidemics. Climate, ILI epidemics - 2 things humans are utterly unable to affect. Gives you a snapshot of the state of public understanding, and institutional collapse, in case you needed one.

Over a decade ago I used to write to Mark Steyn. And he'd print my stuff on his site (I could use an alias and fake email). Mark liked me, he really liked me! I'd found a story about a "meeting" of an Anglican priest and a moose limb who told them flat out that the Ummah was coming with the califate. He said, "We will use your laws of Democracy to defeat you." Paraphrased as it was years ago and I have no idea if I kept the story.

They know the system of democracy and law. They bathe in the word ending phobia (islamophobia). They are using this, as well as apparently bribing the police, in the UK to defeat them within. No shots need to be fired.A few machetes, oh, indeed.

I'm hoping we have a renaissance of indie musicians with real talent filling in the vaccuum of AI. Fingers crossed.

https://instapundit.com/759764
/#comment-6804397753

It is about an NEMJ article on a pfizer mRNA flu vaccine trial.

The results were really bad, but the article is positive.

He goes into details, but over 65yo got the flu more and had worse adverse effects (like kidney failure...) than the control (which was a standard vaccine.)

They simply did not report that and only showed the slightly positive results for those under 65

That thing they did before? Well they are going to do it again.....

My current fave rabbit hole for Youtube vids are Gen Z producers, musicians, vocal coaches discovering the older music they didn't grow up on, and realizing how complex and sophisticated it is. Even the stuff we think of as "pop" for that era. One gen Z music producer had to take a break to calm down after hearing "Good vibrations" and "God Only Knows" from the Beach Boys. The complexity of the rhythms and tempo changes killed him in a good way.

147 Guys, I have to weigh in here. I spent several years as an advisor in Afghanistan, so I know what I'm talking about.

The bureaucrats in Afghanistan did not change. As I put it, there is a guy sitting behind a desk at the Ministry who takes 2 copies of your form, stamps it, gives you one copy back, and puts it on file. Same guy, same form. He did that job for the King, for the Communists, for the Taliban, for the Americans, and now for the Taliban again. He has had periods of time over the years where he didn't get paid and worked a side job, but he kept the job because it had an apartment attached to it. He was not a Communist, he was not Taliban, and he didn't support the Americans either. He just goes to work, does his job, has the free lunch in the courtyard, and goes home at the end of the day.

149 Ace in the Hole starts out with Douglas riding into town.... It is a classic scene that I will not spoil

Then he goes into a hick newspaper office with the line "how'd you like to make $200?" Asserting that he is a $250 a week reporter but he is willing to work for $50.

Another great line is when the other reports say to him "we're all in the same boat." and Douglas replies "I'm in the boat. You're in the water. Now swim."

Lot's of fun stuff. Worth watching.

Read the Enoch Powell speech - he talks about (IIRC) his constituents saying they feel helpless and plan to emigrate to get away from what they are doing. That was the 60s.

I noticed this in grad school in the 80s and tech since then - British expats always escaped what they saw as a failed system - low wages, socialism, and being hated by the elites.

It's Jackson Turner's "frontier safety valve" theory in action.

The people who see what is going on leave. The upper class hate the working class and are insulated. The lower class hate the upper classes and feel powerless. And those with means to leave, leave.

In fact, at every opportunity they've voted for the people who said they'd stop the immigration, even Brexit was a vote to get out of the EU human rights conventions that forced the acceptance of "asylum seekers".

But every time they vote for the party that told them they'd end the misery, that party would get in office and never do it, and then let in more, like Boris did.

The Tories are where they are now because they lied about reducing immigration for over a decade.
